The investigation into @placeholder's death is still ongoing, according to the Ridgefield police and prosecutor. | As a mother, I would understand completely if Lindsey Rogers-Seitz, a mother from Ridgefield, Connecticut, never wanted to get out of bed in the morning. If she didn't want to stop crying. If she couldn't muster up the energy to do anything. Those would be expected responses to what she is coping with -- the "unimaginable" is one word she uses to describe it -- but instead she's on a mission. "I guess what motivates me is Ben and what he would want me to do," she said. Ben was the name of her 15-month-old son. On July 7, Rogers-Seitz's husband, Kyle, was supposed to drop Ben off at day care. The drop-off never occurred. Her husband drove to work and at the end of the day went to day care to pick Ben up, she said during an interview. When Ben wasn't there, he asked the day care providers if his wife had picked him up earlier. When they told him no, he went to the car, found Ben and rushed him to the hospital, she said.

With the long war in Afghanistan winding down, the plight of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has left the U.S. government trying to reconcile those two longstanding credos in a bid to win the freedom of the only American solider held as a captive. Bergdahl has been held by insurgents in Pakistan since 2009. Extremely sensitive discussions are under way with intermediaries overseas to see if there is any ability to gain his release, a U.S. official told CNN on Tuesday. The official declined to be identified due to the nature of the discussions, which are being led by U.S. diplomats, although the Defense Department is also involved. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby declined comment, but Bergdahl's family welcomed the news in a statement on Tuesday.

"If you are watching this message," Rosenberg said on the video, "it is because I was assassinated by President Alvaro Colom, with help from Gustavo Alejos," the president's private secretary. Rosenberg mentions a third person who he believes would have been involved in his death and also mentions those three people as well as the president's wife in connection with two killings last month.

A first half strike by Brazilian striker Diego Costa maintained Atletico's 100% start to the La Liga season and secured a first league win against Real, home or away, since the 1999/2000 season. The game's only goal came in the 11th minute when Costa gathered in Koke's inch-perfect through ball before executing a crisp side-foot finish past keeper Diego Lopez. Real had their chances to equalize -- Karim Benzema going close with headers in the 23rd and 26th minute -- but Atletico's defense held firm as the first half came to a close.

Collective bargaining would be limited to wages, though any pay increases beyond the inflation rate would be subject to voter approval.

The city of @placeholder should award them commendations for grace under fire." | Washington (CNN) -- A "defiant" pregnant woman who was subjected to three Taser stun gun shocks by law enforcement officers after refusing to sign a speeding ticket will not get her appeal addressed by the Supreme Court. The justices without comment Tuesday rejected separate petitions from both Malaika Brooks and the Seattle Police officers sued for excessive force. The court also rejected a similar appeal from a separate plaintiff in Hawaii. Hundreds of such Taser-related lawsuits have been working their way through lower state and federal courts, but the Supreme Court so far has refused to address the issue of what the officers call "a useful pain technique."

Lampedusa has long been a target for illegal migrants wanting a new life in @placeholder. | On a tiny Mediterranean island migrants wander in the streets, beg for oranges at the vegetable store, and knock on the door of the Roman Catholic church to ask the priest for shelter. These are the pitiful scenes in Italy’s Lampedusa where 2,700 men, women and children have arrived in five days after being rescued from rickety boats sailing to Europe from lawless Libya. Some are wrapped in charity blankets to keep out the cold. A few build fires on the beach to huddle around at night or sleep in the sand dunes.

It claims that the irregularities came to light last Wednesday during a review of @placeholder’s trading book, which it has now unwound. | Swiss bank had previously estimated loss at £1.3bn By Anna Edwards Last updated at 4:59 PM on 19th September 2011 Swiss banking giant UBS has revealed that the scale of the losses allegedly racked up by 'rogue trader' Kweku Adoboli has risen from £1.3billion to £1.5billion. The Swiss bank said the loss was caused by unauthorised trades on stock index futures made over the past three months. It said the transactions were within normal limits and slipped through risk controls due to ‘fictitious trades’ in complex financial instruments called exchange traded funds (ETFs), which were used to cover up losses.

@placeholder is still weak and cannot stand for an extended period of time. | Homs, Syria (CNN) -- It has been nearly a week since a truce between the Syrian government and rebel groups took effect in Homs, and as opposition fighters have left the Old Town area of the city, thousands of displaced residents have come back. The streets of the district are packed with people carrying belongings out of the district or moving possessions in to return to their homes. The people are usually busy and rarely joke or smile, but in the middle of this scene there was a tiny, thin and frail-looking woman who stood out. Her name is Zeinat Akhras and a group of people had gathered around her, hugging and kissing her, almost crying with joy.

Pearson is impressed with how Kane, 21, has responded in his career — with 13 goals in 22 games for @placeholder this season. | Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has praised Harry Kane for emerging from a difficult loan spell with Leicester to lead the line for Tottenham, but believes it is too soon for an England call-up just yet. Kane spent four months at the King Power Stadium in 2013, but only played in three wins and mostly featured from the bench, scoring twice in 15 games. Leicester suffered a late-season slump and only squeezed into the Championship playoffs with a last-minute winner on the final day before losing out to Watford in the semi-finals in dramatic circumstances.

READ MORE: @placeholder burns as new President calls for peace | Slovyansk, Ukraine (CNN) -- We were on a rough track surrounded by fields of wheat and barley when the little blue Lada came into sight. The car lurched towards us, kicking up a trail of white dust. Both vehicles stopped. Within 20 miles of Slovyansk, drivers routinely quiz each other for information on the road ahead -- the risks and roadblocks. And then the car, barely the size of a Mini and at least 20 years old, disgorged its occupants: no fewer than eight people, three generations of the Goma family. They had fled the shelling in Slovyansk, a city in eastern Ukraine held for two months by pro-Russian separatists and now under persistent shelling and mortar fire from Ukrainian forces. But after a week sleeping in tents in a forest, battered by thunderstorms, they just wanted to go home -- to a city without electricity, gas or running water.
