The Lord Mayor of London's 17th century country mansion where Samuel Pepys was invited for dinner has been put on the market for £45million - but it still needs another £10million to turn it into a home. Swakeleys House, a Grade I listed Jacobean building set among 25 acres, was originally built for Sir Edmund Wright as a palatial retreat within easy reach of the City of London. It was later acquired by another wealthy businessman, Sir Robert Vyner, who invited the famous diarist Samuel Pepys to dinner. He described the grand property in Ickenham, Middlesex, as 'a very pleasant place'. @highlight Swakeleys House, a Grade I listed building set in 25 acres, originally built for Sir Edmund Wright as a palatial retreat @highlight Property then acquired by businessman Sir Robert Vyner in 1665 who invited famous diarist Samuel Pepys to dinner @highlight 20,000sq ft property not used as residence for 80 years, but has planning permission to be turned into lavish home @highlight When restored, the expensive fixer-upper will boast 23 en-suite bedrooms along with a party pavilion for 200 guests

"Since (Major) was last known to be in @placeholder and ... she was working as a prostitute, (her family) contacted detectives," West said.
(CNN) -- A victim of Washington state's notorious "Green River Killer" has been identified 29 years after her disappearance, when a relative saw a TV movie about the serial murderer in April and family members gave DNA samples to investigators, authorities said Tuesday. The victim was Sandra Denise Major of Rochester, New York, who was a 20-year-old prostitute when she got into a truck on December 22, 1982, and was never seen again, said Sgt. Cindi West of the King County, Washington, sheriff's office. Gary Leon Ridgway, dubbed the Green River serial killer, pleaded guilty in 2003 to killing 48 women, including Major, though her remains hadn't been identified at the time, West said. The 48 guilty pleas gave Ridgway more murder convictions -- though not necessarily more slayings -- than any other serial killer in U.S. history. @highlight A cousin watches Lifetime's "The Capture of the Green River Killer" in April @highlight The family recalls how Sandra Denise Major went missing in Seattle in 1982 @highlight Major's remains are identified after family members give DNA samples @highlight Gary Leon Ridgway admitted killing 49 persons, mainly runaways and prostitutes

Yet the timeliest and most effective action in 1929-30 would still have left the @placeholder much worse off in November 1932 than in November 1928.
Washington (CNN) -- Imagine that some member of Congress back in the 1990s had devoted himself or herself to toughening America against terrorism. He or she had introduced legislation to require airlines to harden their cockpit doors. After years of work, he or she at last prevailed and the new law went into effect sometime in early 2000. The 9/11 plot would have been thwarted without any American ever knowing that the plot had existed. Question: Would we now remember that imaginary member of Congress as a person of wisdom and foresight who averted a national disaster? Hardly. In a world in which 9/11 never happened, the people who prevented it would have gone unremembered and unthanked. Or worse.

First, we need to stop calling it the March on @placeholder.
(CNN) -- Very few things will make my skin crawl more than listening to someone totally misrepresent the famous "I Have A Dream" speech the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gave on August 28, 1963. It's clear that far too many people haven't bothered to actually read or listen to the speech. Instead, folks -- especially those who likely would have branded King a Communist, a socialist, a Marxist or a racial hell-bent on destroying America -- love to tout King's "content of character" line in order to push back against a variety of issues, especially affirmative action. Just today, I saw a press release from Project 21, a coalition of black conservatives, suggesting that a rally planned Saturday by a radio talk show host and Fox News personality is akin to King's 1963 march. @highlight Roland S.

(CNN) -- How do you protect some of the world's rarest large mammals from rampant poaching in an area about six times the size of Manhattan? Conservationists in Kenya believe the answer could come from the skies. Nestled in the shadow of the majestic Mount Kenya, Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a 90,000-acre game reserve boasting a wide array of wildlife, including the endangered black and white rhinos, elephants, leopards, lions and chimpanzees. Since late 2009, it has also been home to four of the last seven northern white rhinos left in the world. Despite its vast size, the privately owned conservancy relies on a team of just 190 rangers -- 40 of whom are armed -- to safeguard the wildlife roaming its grass plains and acacia-dotted savannah. @highlight Ol Pejeta Conservancy plans to use a drone to monitor its wildlife and fend off poachers @highlight The Kenyan reserve hopes to conduct its first flight in about a month @highlight It is home to four of the last world's last remaining seven northern white rhinos @highlight Rhino poaching rates are soaring, fueled by a belief their horns have medicinal value

ruin her career, Miss Rocero's @placeholder earned her a standing ovation,
By Annabel Fenwick Elliott for MailOnline Transgender model Geena Rocero has opened up about her decision to finally come clean with her birth gender during a powerful TED talk in March, 12 years into her career as a successful lingerie model. 'I carried the paranoia [of being found out] with me every day,' the 30-year-old New York-based model tells Glamour, explaining that in part, she wanted to beat the 'salacious gossip pages' who could discover her secret at any time; a secret that even her own modeling agency didn't know. 'There was always that fear: What if people found out? They'd think I'd duped them, and maybe I'd lose my regular clients. It could ruin my career.' @highlight Miss Rocero was born in the Philippines and moved to the U.S. when she was 17, where she underwent sexual re-assignment surgery @highlight She became a New York model when she was 21, and told almost no-one about her birth gender @highlight Miss Rocero broke the news in a TED talk in March

Turkey's former military chief has been jailed for life for plotting to overthrow Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government. Retired General Ilker Basbug was one of scores of defendants that included politicians, journalists and officers accused of being part of the so-called Ergenekon plot. Today's verdicts are the culmination of five years of trials where prosecutors accused defendants of trying to organise high-profile attacks across Turkey and prepare the way for a military coup soon after Erdogan's government came to power in 2002. The landmark case has become central in tensions between Turkey's secular elite and the Prime Minister's Islamic-orientated Justice and Development Party. @highlight Retired General Ilker Basbug most high profile of scores of defendants in the so-called Ergenekon plot @highlight Defendants accused of trying to overthrow Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government in 2002 @highlight Basbug and 16 others sentenced to life in prison and 60 others jailed for up to 47 years @highlight Group accused of plotting high-profile attacks that prosecutors said were aimed at causing chaos in Turkey to prepare the way for a military coup

(CNN) -- Lawmakers scolded and shouted and lectured. Deputy Attorney General James Cole responded dozens of times the same way at a House hearing on Thursday: The Justice Department can't provide details of its ongoing criminal investigation into whether IRS employees broke the law in unfairly singling out specific political groups for extra scrutiny. Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who led the Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee hearing, and others on the panel wanted to know why after 14 months prosecutors haven't filed charges.
