'@placeholder is always evolving and listen to my feedback,' said Ronaldo. | Gone are the days when a pair of black Copa Mundials were the boot of choice for England players ahead of the World Cup. Today's stars prefer to be noticed on the pitch and it seems the more fluorescent the boot the better. A whole host of bright colours were seen flashing across the Wembley turf during England's 3-0 friendly win over Peru but Raheem Sterling's footwear particularly caught the eye. The Liverpool frontman, who replaced Wayne Rooney during the Three Lions' warm-up game on Friday night, was wearing Nike's new Flyknit Mercurial Superfly IV boot - which has a partial sock fitted to it.

The Elephants, for their part, were once again content to sit back and let @placeholder have the majority of possession, playing much of their best football on the break. | Ivory Coast won their first Africa Cup of Nations since 1992 in dramatic fashion, beating Ghana 9-8 on penalties.

The thawed body of a creature reputed to be Bigfoot reportedly weighs more than 500 pounds. Introduced by a publicist and beside a man who promoted what turned out to be a fake Bigfoot discovery in 1995, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer repeatedly said that their claim is not a hoax and that scientific analysis will prove it. "We were not looking for Bigfoot. ... We wouldn't know what we were doing if we did," said Whitton, a police officer on leave after being shot in the hand while making an arrest.

The government team flew by helicopter from Peshawar to meet the @placeholder negotiators at an undisclosed location, sources and state media said. | (CNN) -- The main Pakistani Taliban extended a cease-fire deadline until April 10, the militant group said Friday. The move came two days after the group met with Pakistan officials and made demands. The cease-fire was initially agreed upon on March 1. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, which has been waging an insurgency against the Pakistani government, said it is still awaiting a reply from the government regarding the demands, including the release of noncombatants. At least 19 Taliban noncombatants were released earlier on the directive of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, said Shaukatullah Khan, governor of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. The release is a goodwill gesture that will help promote peace talks, Khan said, speaking at a seminar in Peshawar. The prime minister is supervising the talks process, which are going in a positive direction, according to Khan.

"Although the verdict still stands and is definite, the execution has been halted on humanitarian grounds from the order of the honorable judiciary chief, and will not be implemented at this time," Malek Ajdar Sharifi, a judiciary official in East Azerbaijan province, told Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency.

But in today's @placeholder, you cannot take on the president without serious consequences. | (CNN) -- How free are you to say what you think and what you believe? How free are you to hear the views of others, of those who challenge widely held beliefs or dare to criticize the powerful? Upon the answer to that question lies the essence and the soul of democracy. That's why today we have more conclusive evidence that democracy is faltering in Russia and why we see alarming signs that the revolution in Egypt may lead not toward, but away from, the democratic path. It's also why we have reason to feel encouraged about the prospects for change in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) and why we know that, despite populist claims, democracy in places such as Iran, Venezuela and Ecuador -- the country that offered asylum to WikiLeaks' Julian Assange -- is either dead, dying or suffering a serious illness.

Although not everything comes off, Fiennes' bold, dynamic movie will make you glad he took up the challenge. Set in "Some place calling itself Rome," but filmed, very tellingly, in battle-scarred Serbia and Montenegro, "Coriolanus" imagines a modern state rocked by food shortages and border disputes. Gen. Caius Martius (Fiennes) returns triumphant from vanquishing archenemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler) and the Volsces from their stronghold, Corioles, and takes on the name of this, his most famous victory.

With a record number of women running for the U.S. House (138) and U.S. Senate (15), pundits, pollsters and politicians assumed it was the dawn of a new day, one in which Democrats and Republicans understood the importance of electing women. High-profile female candidates, many with interesting personal stories and personality traits, fostered the speculation that 2010 might very well be another "Year of the Woman." But it wasn't. In fact, Wednesday morning's headlines did not even mention women. Obviously, Democratic losses and Republican's ascent correctly took center stage.

Also known as "Shorty," Guzman heads the world's largest narcotics operation, the infamous Sinaloa cartel, and allegedly pushes 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms of cocaine through Chicago each month. The commission's executive vice president, Arthur Bilek, said "because of the direct link between the violence of the street gangs and the narcotics business, it can be said that Guzman's fingerprints are on the guns used in many of the shootings plaguing Chicago today." We don't know if Guzman has ever been in Chicago, but The New York Times magazine reported he calls Chicago his cartel's "home port." The head of the city's DEA's office, Jack Riley, says the Sinaloa cartel causes so much havoc in Chicago that Guzman deserves the title.

Abrahamian places his medal on the competition mat in protest at a judging decision. Abrahamian was beaten in the 84 kg class by eventual gold medal winner Andrea Minguzzi of Italy but was furious with the verdict, shouting at the referee before confronting the judges. The Athens silver medal winner had to be restrained by teammates and later went on to win a bronze medal match. But the row continued at the medal ceremony as he only grudgingly mounted the podium and after receiving his medal made a point of taking it off and leaving it in the center of the competition mat.

McCalebb was instrumental in Macedonia's fourth-place finish, their highest ever, at the EuroBasket championships in Lithuania.

Leigh used the same techniques when helping Madonna's younger brother Christopher Ciccone write his best-selling memoir, "Life With My Sister @placeholder." | (CNN) -- When all is said and done, Wendy Leigh is just a name on a book cover. Sometimes her name is accompanied by the word "with," or, in the case of one juicy memoir, the phrase "assisted by, edited by, and put into proper English by ..." Leigh is a celebrity ghostwriter -- as crucial to the publishing process as paper and ink. "Clearly I am not sitting there holding a pen with the [celebrity]," said Leigh, who has co-written autobiographies with Zsa Zsa Gabor and Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone. "It's a very delicate relationship," she said. "I'm not there as an interrogator. ... Nothing will go in that book that they don't want. But that's not to say you're not going to do quite a bit of coaxing and convincing." Leigh's latest, Barbara Eden's "Jeannie Out of the Bottle" is due out in 2011.

In the 14-minute audio message, the 62-year-old al-Zawahiri criticizes the ouster of Muslim Brotherhood-backed former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy, blaming the military coup that resulted in his removal on Americans and 'Zionists.' The crusaders, the seculars, the Americanized army, (former Egyptian President Hosni) Mubarak's thugs and some members of Islamic parties with the support of Gulf money and American plotting, all agreed to topple Mohamed Morsy's government,' he said in the recording.

@placeholder military, security and police forces are so impotent, demoralized and compromised by Russian infiltration that their response has so far been pathetic. | Despite the ray of good news in Thursday's Geneva agreement on steps to de-escalate the crisis in Ukraine, President Obama was right to sound a note of caution, observing that "I don't think we can be sure of anything at this point." The deal, reached by Russia, Ukraine and the West, called for, among other things, disarming illegally armed pro-Russian demonstrators in eastern Ukraine, and the surrender of the government buildings they have seized. These are good and essential first steps, but unless they can now be implemented as a basis on which the parties can move to further, bolder steps to reverse underlying trends, Ukraine could still slide into civil war. If this happened, how would it affect American national interests? Could Ukraine become a 21st century echo of the Balkans in the 1990s, when the collapse of Yugoslavia saw a decade of war between Serbs, Croatians, Bosnians and Kosovars? (No one should forget that just a century ago Ukraine was sucked into a tragic, bloody civil war shortly after gaining independence in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution.)
