Add to that the success of @placeholder, who won the 800-meter freestyle by a full two seconds. | Michael Phelps swam the last solo race of his Olympic career with yet another win, as the U.S. picked up three gold medals in 13 stunning minutes at the London Aquatic Centre. The world's most decorated athlete touched the wall first in the men's 100m butterfly. And in the minutes on either side of Phelps' grand exit, two teenage compatriots etched their names in Olympic history with incredible victories. About five minutes before Phelps jumped off the starting block, Missy Franklin not only won a gold medal, but the 17-year-old shattered a world record in the 200m backstroke. Several minutes after Phelps's win, Katie Ledecky, at just 15, dominated in the 800m freestyle, nearly setting a new world record herself.

And right now we have a @placeholder party that is so disinterested in winning over women voters that they are floundering on no-brainer issues like supporting equal pay." | On March 9, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the state's Republican candidate for governor, appeared on a Dallas television station and was asked a straightforward question. Would he veto, as Gov. Rick Perry did last year, the Texas version of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, a bill that would allowed women to file equal pay claims in state courts? Abbott wouldn't say. Instead, he smiled and held forth for a few moments about the importance of women being paid the same wages as men. The campaign of his Democratic opponent, state Sen. Wendy Davis, quickly roared to life. Davis, who shepherded the equal pay bill through the Texas legislature, accused Abbott of dodging the question and demanded a hard answer. Abbott equivocated for 10 days, then said he would veto the bill, handing Davis fresh ammo.

Bin Laden was shielded during the shooting by women, including his wife, they said. He was an active participant in an ongoing firefight, they insisted, implying bin Laden was armed and therefore gave U.S. Navy SEALs little choice but to shoot him down. Hours later, a senior administration official began to revise that narrative to some White House reporters. Further revisions came Tuesday when White House Press Secretary Jay Carney gave a step-by-step description of the raid provided by the Defense Department that made clear bin Laden was unarmed and had no human shields.

The ghosts of the Iraq War hover over any Syria action that the United States potentially undertakes. But Iraq is not Syria.

"We have worked with county sheriffs and prosecutors in our defense of the legal challenges to these protections of our children, and we will need to review this 7th @placeholder ruling to determine the state's next steps." | (CNN) -- Indiana can't kick all registered sex offenders off instant messaging services, chat rooms or social networking sites like Facebook, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. The state passed a law in 2008 that was aimed at keeping predators from trolling the Internet for new victims. But that law "broadly prohibits substantial protected speech rather than specifically targeting the evil of improper communications to minors," a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded. State courts can impose limits on social media as a condition of a sex offender's probation or parole, but a "blanket ban" on Internet use violates the First Amendment's guarantee of free expression, the judges found.

Leader: Cook gives a team-talk during the @placeholder one-day match against India | By David Clough, Press Association Alastair Cook’s England at last delivered the victory they needed so badly against India - but he is still awaiting an assurance that he will remain captain through their World Cup winter. Joe Root’s career-best 113 came to Cook’s aid, underpinning a total of 294 for seven which England safely defended thanks principally to early wickets and economy from James Anderson - and despite half-centuries from the world champions’ Ravindra Jadeja (87) and Ambati Rayudu (53). The eventual margin of 41 runs did not flatter the hosts, who were significantly the better team throughout at Headingley - if not so overwhelmingly as India have been elsewhere on their way to their 3-1 Royal London Series victory.

"The thing that makes @placeholder great is we pull together when others are in need," the father said. | (CNN) -- An Indiana infant who was denied a life-saving transplant surgery by Medicaid will now have his operation paid for. MDwise, Inc. and AmeriHealth Mercy of Indiana announced Friday that they will cover six-month-old Seth Petreikis' thymus tissue transplant after Medicaid denied his parents original claim. Two appeals to the state's Family and Social Service Administration had also been denied. This decision comes after media reports of Seth's plight. After having an open heart surgery at about 2 ½ weeks, doctors diagnosed Seth with Complete DiGeorge Syndrome, a rare disease that leaves him with no immune system. Dr. M. Louise Market pioneered the surgery at Duke Hospital in North Carolina -- the only doctor at the only hospital in the United States that performs the surgery. Duke Hospital has done 60 thymus transplants in patients with DiGeorge Syndrome, and approximately 75% of them survived. Without this transplant, Seth would face serious infections that would surely end his life.

Bojan (left) tried to spark a @placeholder comeback in the second half as his side chased an equaliser but failed to get a point | This was a tale of two young talents, Danny Ings of Burnley via Dorset and Bojan Krkic of Stoke via Barcelona. Both cost their clubs somewhere between £1m and £2m. Both shone on Saturday. Ings alone went home happy. The former Bournemouth forward scored the two early goals that gave Burnley their second straight win in the Premier League and their first away win in the top division since April 2010. And Bojan, as he is more routinely known, gave the home supporters something to take away from a disappointing result – entertainment and hope of better things.

The Journal report said the @placeholder unveiled next Tuesday will likely have the same size screen as the current model. | (CNN) -- Apple is testing iPhone display screens as large as 6 inches, according to a new report. The screens, ranging upward from 4.8 inches, would be a pretty massive leap from the 4-inch display on the iPhone 5. But don't expect to see them when Apple rolls out new iPhones next week. Citing "people familiar with the matter," the Wall Street Journal on Friday reported that the bigger screens could signal a future move by Apple to offer iPhones of various sizes. That would put them more in line with their chief rival, Samsung, which has put a dent in the iPhone's dominance with devices like their Galaxy S and Galaxy Note lines.

He and other @placeholder said the issue was about equal treatment under the law. | Washington (CNN) -- Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to repeal the federal law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. The vote that sends the proposal to the full Senate floor was considered symbolic because the measure has no chance of getting passed by the Republican-led House. All eight Republicans on the Judiciary Committee voted "no" Thursday, while all the 10 majority Democrats supported the measure that would provide equal federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples. Democrats and gay rights advocates hailed the vote as historic in the continuing effort to legalize same-sex marriage and end separate treatment for legally married same-sex couples.

The @placeholder offered the video to demonstrate that Maria was happy and in good care. | (CNN) -- A lawyer for a Roma couple accused of abducting the girl found living with them says the pair adopted the child from her biological mother. In a case that has generated huge interest in Greece, authorities have charged the couple with abducting the child they call "Maria." They appeared in court Monday and were remanded into custody pending a trial. Authorities released photos of the child, possibly 4 or 5 years old, last week and sought public tips on her birth identity. Kostas Katsavos, one of the couple's lawyers, told the Reuters news agency that they adopted Maria with the permission of her biological mother.

"That way, people can use those characters to question the authorities, without having it traced back to, say, the Syrian or @placeholder cyber army," he says. | (CNN) -- In many ways, the Middle East makes a strange -- and at times perilous -- hotbed for caricature. Many of the region's leaders have a poor reputation for humor, and often, the list of banned topics makes for a long read. For those that dare to satirize a taboo, the punishments can be harsh: arrest, torture, exile, even death. "The one thing a tyrant can't stand is to be laughed at," says Robert Russell, the executive director of the Cartoonists Rights Network International, a group that monitors the threats facing editorial cartoonists globally. "If there's rebellion in the streets, they can bring out the tanks, but if everyone is laughing at you, what defense do you have? It undermines the authority of a tyrant to be laughed at."

@placeholder also set records in winning the men's and women's 4x200m freestyle relays. | (CNN) -- India's dreaded "Delhi belly" hit a number of top swimming stars, as Australia continued to dominate at the Commonwealth Games on Wednesday. England's double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington said she was struggling with illness ahead of Thursday's 800m freestyle final -- an event she won at Beijing in 2008. Her teammate Fran Halsall almost collapsed on the podium after winning a disappointing bronze in the 100m freestyle and then failing to reach the final of the 100m butterfly. Australia's Andrew Lauterstein pulled out of the men's 50m butterfly final due to a stomach complaint, but his compatriots won five more golds -- setting three records -- as the country moved to a leading 21 and 46 medals in total on day three of the event.

An explosion -- which happened a day before the @placeholder convened on the AKP ban -- killed 17 people, including a 3-year-old child, and sparked immediate outrage. | ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) -- Turkey's Constitutional Court has rejected a proposed ban on the country's Islamic-rooted ruling party -- the Justice and Development Party, or AKP -- for alleged anti-secularist activities, the leader of the court said Wednesday. The party of Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan's faces possible closure for alleged anti-secular activity. Six justices voted in favor of banning the party, four voted for financial penalties and one justice rejected the case, court leader Hasim Kilic said. Seven of the 11 justices would have had to vote in favor of the ban for it to pass. Instead, the court ruled that the AKP will lose half of its government funding, he said.

"You'll find your spirit and the real essence of life. Even if you're looking for neither." As the co-owner of Grotte della Civita, a luxury resort dug into a precipice of primeval stones that seemingly rise from nowhere at Matera in Italy's deepest south, Paolucci knows a thing or two about journeys of discovery and redemption. Once a refuge for monks, nuns and hermits fleeing persecution in the Middle Ages, the caves slowly fell into oblivion. For centuries, Matera's 156 rock crypts and maze of grottoes, known as Sassi, were home to "troglodyte" outcasts living in inhuman conditions.
