But she said @placeholder hoped that by seeking court orders against men, 'inappropriate behaviour' would be disrupted and victims would get the message that 'this is not down to you'. | A High Court judge has ordered two men to stay away from teenage girls in a landmark legal ruling to prevent sexual exploitation. It came after social services bosses in Birmingham became concerned about the welfare of a vulnerable 17-year-old girl who is in the care of the City Council who was seen with the men. Mr Justice Keehan granted long-term injunctions against the two men - aged 27 and 31 - after social workers and police raised concerns that the girl was at risk of sexual exploitation. He barred the men from approaching the girl until she turned 18, and from approaching 'any female under 18', with whom they were not personally associated, following a public hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London.

Three other pairs of shoes, including a set of Nike Air Jordan XI Retro Lows, were photographed in Hernandez's basement 'man cave' but were not taken into evidence.

@placeholder tragically died of a morphine overdose in 1966 while the appeal to his criminal conviction was pending. | (CNN) -- Comedy scares people in power. We saw a disturbing example this week when Egyptian TV host and comedian Bassem Youssef, frequently described as Egypt's Jon Stewart, was charged with the crimes of mocking Egypt's President Mohamed Morsy and insulting Islam. If convicted, Youssef could be fined and sentenced to prison. Now, before you quickly categorize this incident under the catch all, "They hate us for our freedoms" crap, let's not forget our own history. Comedy legend Lenny Bruce was arrested not once but eight times, in the early 1960s for telling jokes that were considered obscene. However, Bruce's lawyer argued that the comedian was not being prosecuted for his profanity but rather for mocking political leaders and religion.

The United States was seeking support for sanctions against Iran, which it accuses of harboring a non-peaceful nuclear program. Brazil shares the table with the United States on the United Nations Security Council, where it holds a non-veto seat. "We think with our own mind. We want a world without nuclear arms, certainly without proliferation," Amorim said at a news conference with Clinton on Wednesday, according to the official Agencia Brasil news agency. "It is not about simply bending to an opinion that may not be true. We can't simply be taken along. We have to think with our own head."

Instead of production sharing agreements (PSAs as they are known) when international oil producers take a percentage of each field, @placeholder went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. | Abu Dhabi (CNN) -- We are seeing the deadliest sectarian violence in Iraq since 2008 and that is causing major setbacks for Baghdad's aspiration to challenge Saudi Arabia as the top oil producer. The latest figures from Iraq's ministry of energy illustrate the direct link between the violence and the country's oil output. In May, monthly production hit nearly 77 million barrels in the two major regions Basra and Kirkuk. That sunk, the ministry said, to fewer than 70 million in June as daily production tumbled to less than three million barrels a day. According to the U.N., the death toll jumped from 595 killed in April to 963 in May -- and more than 1,000 were killed in July.
