Dressage rider Charlotte Dujardin is also among the contenders for this year's @placeholder gong | Lewis Hamilton has hailed Rory McIlroy as 'phenomenal' ahead of their Sunday night showdown for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

But after claiming his second Formula One world title a fortnight ago in Abu Dhabi, so Hamilton's odds have shortened considerably and he is pushing McIlroy to the wire. 'I'm excited to be going,' said Hamilton ahead of flying into London from Los Angeles, where he has held a number of business meetings over recent days.

Instead, the @placeholder president simply did what Egyptian presidents have been doing for more than 60 years — that is, loosening institutional restraints on their authority in order to more easily fulfill their agendas. | (CNN) -- Twenty years ago, Edward Djerejian, a former U.S. diplomat, famously worried that Islamists would exploit democratic elections to come to power, after which they would pull the democratic ladder up behind them. Instead of one man, one vote, he said, Islamists wanted one man, one vote, one time. Last week, Egypt's President Mohamed Morsy, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, and his country's first democratically elected president, seemed to fulfill Djerejian's grim prophecy.

Dr. Shakil Afridi will remain in prison until the new trial is held, according to the office of Sahibzada Mohammad Anees, the Peshawar judicial commissioner who overturned the conviction. Afridi was sentenced in 2012 to 33 years in prison after a tribal court convicted him of, among other things, running a fake vaccination trial. Pakistani authorities accused Afridi of working with the CIA to set up a fake vaccination campaign in Abbottabad to try verify bin Laden's whereabouts.

However, I could easily see the game being played by a new person with the @placeholder for more enjoyment than a regular controller. | (CNN) -- "Killzone 3," in stores this week, is one wild, rolling firefight. Set across many different terrains, it challenges players to show off their mental capabilities as well as their shooting prowess. The first-person shooter (Sony, Guerrilla Games) picks up where "Killzone 2" left off, with the opposition leader dead and a city in ruins after a nuclear bomb goes off. The gameplay quickly becomes run-and-gun, as players race to get out of a war zone where they are vastly outnumbered. The Helghast, sort of a futuristic pseudo-Nazi/Cold War Russian looking group, are on the trail of our intrepid heroes through a nuked-out city, leafy jungle, polar mountains and outer space.

Kehinde: I never knew I would still be carrying the @placeholder placard six months after the schoolgirls were abduction. | (CNN)Six months after more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls vanished into the night, the #BringBackOurGirls campaign has faded. When the social media phenomenon of signs asking for the release of the missing girls took off in May, celebrities like First Lady Michelle Obama and Nobel Prize recipient Malala Yousafzai posted their photos, joining people from around the world. But as weeks became months and prospects of the schoolgirls' release seemed slim, the social media campaign slowly dwindled. But one man, Alasholuyi Kehinde, did not stop fighting to bring the missing girls home. Almost every day, for 186 days, the Lagos, Nigeria resident took a photo of himself holding up a sign pleading with the world not to forget about the Chibok schoolgirls. A father of three and marketing professional, Kehinde felt a responsibility to advocate for the missing girls and their families.

"When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds," the Democrat who served from 1977-1981 told students at Emory University.
