The Gaye family contracted with Sony-ATV after the singer-songwriter's death to administer his music catalog, but it also represents @placeholder' songs, according to a counterclaim filed Wednesday in response to a lawsuit filed by Thicke, Williams and Harris. | Los Angeles (CNN) -- Robin Thicke's summertime hit "Blurred Lines" is an illegal rip-off of Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up," Gaye's children claim in court documents filed Wednesday. Fans, journalists and music experts immediately recognized similarities between Gaye's 1977 hit and the 2013's summertime smash, Gaye's heirs contend. The controversy is a high-stakes legal fight involving an alleged conflict of interest with Sony-ATV, the music publisher half-owned by Michael Jackson's estate. Gaye's heirs not only accuse Thicke and "Blurred Lines" co-writers Pharrell Williams and "T.I." Clifford Harris Jr. of copying Gaye's song, but they also contend Sony-ATV failed to meet its responsibility to protect the copyright.

In Slaviansk, north of Kramatorsk and about 100 miles from the border with Russia, pro-Russian militants now appear to be firmly in control of the town, according to CNN's Nick Paton Walsh on the ground.

The draft resolution could go to a @placeholder General Assembly committee that deals with human rights as early as next week. | North Korean leader Kim Jong-un must face international justice for human rights abuses committed by the state that are comparable to atrocities committed in the Nazi era, a UN investigator said today. Marzuki Darusman, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in North Korea, said there was enough evidence of systematic torture, starvation and killings, to hold the isolated country's leader accountable. A UN inquiry concluded in a February 17 report that North Korean security chiefs and possibly even Kim himself should face international justice for ordering 'massive' human rights atrocities - including torture and starvation.

Pellegrini was frustrated about the late penalty incident involving @placeholder but did not want to make a big issue of it. | By Alex Sharp for MailOnline Manchester City were left stunned by referee Lee Mason’s failure to award a late penalty as Stoke City beat the reigning Premier League Champions 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Yaya Toure appeared to be tripped in the penalty box by Stoke’s Erik Pieters as City searched for a late equaliser however Mason deemed that the Ivorian dived and booked the midfielder for simulation. Remarkably City failed to find the net and a stunning solo goal from Mame Biram Diouf brought a first league win of the season for Stoke and a first defeat for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

Back in September Lampard scored his first @placeholder goal to hold Chelsea to a 1-1 draw here. | In New York, this will not have gone down well. In Chelsea, West London, they won’t be too thrilled either. Manchester City’s decision to keep Frank Lampard in England rather than release him to fulfil an obligation to their feeder club New York City FC has been received predictably badly in the United States. At a stroke the Barclays Premier League champions have undermined the very credibility of their MLS project and alienated a customer base they have desperately been trying to court. Here on our side of the Atlantic, though, Lampard has simply proved too valuable to lose and it was perhaps to be expected that he would play a defining role in his first appearance since his decision to remain at City until the end of the season was announced late on New Year’s Eve.

This jaw-dropping landing process, involving a sky crane and the world's largest supersonic parachute, allowed the spacecraft carrying @placeholder to target the landing area that scientists had meticulously chosen. | NASA's rover Curiosity successfully carried out a highly challenging landing on Mars early Monday, transmitting images back to Earth after traveling hundreds of millions of miles through space to explore the red planet. Scientists praised the landing Monday. "This is a stunning achievement. The engineering went flawlessly," said Scott Hubbard, who was the first Mars program director at NASA headquarters and is now a consulting professor at Stanford University. The 10 science instruments aboard Curiosity are in "perfect health," and testing and calibration are under way, NASA said Monday. Some rover team specialists are analyzing the data from the landing, while others are preparing Curiosity for exploring Gale Crater, where it landed, NASA said. On its first full day on Mars, the rover is tasked with raising its high-gain antenna, enabling it to communicate directly with Earth at higher data rates. The primary method of transmitting data is through the orbiters, because that is more energy-efficient.

This is a core principle of my presidency: if you threaten @placeholder, you will find no safe haven." | Washington (CNN) -- It was a speech that Barack Obama -- a war-stopping, Nobel Peace Prize-winning President -- never wanted to give. A year after he pulled back from threatened military attacks on Syria over chemical weapons, Obama told America he now would launch airstrikes against ISIS targets in the country wracked by civil war. The nationally televised address on Wednesday night, which lasted less than 15 minutes, promised far-reaching impact that could embroil the nation in another Middle East conflict. "This was a very difficult speech for him," CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger said of a President who campaigned on ending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "He's inserted us into the middle of a Syrian civil war."

Still, as Obama engages in a full-court press to build U.S. support for strikes, some @placeholder hear echoes of a different basketball analogy: "slam dunk." | (CNN) -- The gruesome images are clear. There's little doubt Syrians suffered a chemical attack last month. But videos of the aftermath -- including 13 shown to Congress -- do nothing to show who was responsible. President Barack Obama says he has "high confidence" that the regime is to blame -- the strongest position short of confirmation. But his administration has not released hard evidence.

But those same Republicans now have to defend their wins -- @placeholder governors are left to defend 22 governorships in November compared to only 14 for Democrats. | Washington (CNN) -- Since Barack Obama was first elected president in 2008, the word "change" was popular with Democrats who were seeking to win elected office. Obama effectively used it to tap into voters' disenchantment with President George W. Bush, and he ultimately swept into the White House in a watershed year for Democrats. But with the 2014 election on the horizon, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, chair of the Democratic Governors Association, said this year's gubernatorial contests won't be about that operative word.

"Ironically, there are table manner rules in @placeholder, and they actually normally encourage you to leave the table partly hungry, which is consistent with modern health guidelines," he said. | (CNN) -- The temptation to eat a lot during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, is great, but Saiful Khandker makes a conscious effort to not overdo it. It is traditional to eat dates on Eid al Fitr, the breaking of the month-long fast of Ramadan. "You just kind of have to be mindful of, OK, if I weren't fasting and starving, what kind of meal would I have? And then kind of limit yourself based on that," said Khandker, technology systems director for a hedge fund in New York. Around the world, many observant Muslims like Khandker who've been fasting all day during Ramadan are thinking about the feast they'll have on Eid al Fitr, the holiday that ends the holy month, next weekend. Khandker describes this day as the Muslim equivalent of Christmas, complete with gift exchanges for children and a lot of food -- everyone can "pig out for the whole day."
