Known as an 'MMORPG' - massively multi-player online role-playing game - @placeholder has captured the imagination of players by drawing them into a virtual universe of battles and quests. | By Nick Enoch PUBLISHED: 11:17 EST, 16 January 2013 | UPDATED: 16:38 EST, 16 January 2013 For fans of the popular online game World of Warcraft, it's a dream come true - the chance to experience the digital fantasy world of monsters, magic and jewelled-bikini warrior women 'in the flesh'... thanks to a theme park in China. But don't expect to see much Warcraft branding at the World Joyland amusement site because it is totally unlicensed. In a blatant copyright violation of the Blizzard Entertainment game, authorities in Changzhou in the south of the country allowed the park - cunningly called Terrain of Magic (see what they did there?) - to be built at a cost of £20milllion.

It's a brave acknowledgment of an unspeakable emotion, a moment that will repel many in the audience just as clearly as it disgusts @placeholder, but which is worth hearing not because it's provocative, but because it rings true. | (CNN) -- The timing couldn't be any better, or worse, for Mira Nair's film of Mohsin Hamid's novel, a sympathetic portrait of a gifted, intelligent young Pakistani whose love affair with the American dream ends in disenchantment, mistrust and violence. This would have been a provocative movie to release at any time since 9/11, but especially so in the immediate aftermath of the Boston bombings. Still, if we're to come to any understanding of the terrorist mentality, movies are a relatively safe and responsible place to start looking. In the opening scenes, the CIA responds to the kidnapping of a European academic in Lahore, Pakistan. A U.S. journalist who is also an undercover operative for the agency (Liev Schreiber) is sent to interview one of the professor's colleagues, a local whose classes are reported to be stirring up young Muslims and who is a known associate of jihadists. Changez (Riz Ahmed) agrees to talk, but only if the American promises to hear him out and get the full story.

@placeholder jumps in celebration after giving Charlton a deserved lead after 25 minutes | When Nouha Dicko clambered off the bench at the break, he clearly had a point to prove. Not starting for the first time in the league this season, the young striker was the driving force behind Wolves coming away from the Valley with a point. Kenny Jackett’s side struggled with the intensity of the hosts - drilled by the charismatic Bob Peeters - until the 22-year-old’s half-time inclusion. Dicko was pushed up alongside lone target man Leon Clarke - his pace frightening Charlton and tenacity yielding the corner from which Danny Batth equalised after Andre Bikey’s 25th minute opener.

But even if Clinton did get through the hearing with her reputation intact, that doesn't mean that @placeholder doesn't leave scars on the administration. | (CNN) -- If Monday's inauguration displayed the gushing, ceremonial aspect of American democracy, Wednesday revealed its more sober and confrontational side -- a Senate committee hearing. The hearing was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton vs. the Republicans on the painful subject of Benghazi, Libya. After a lot of anger from the senators and a surprising amount of emotion from Clinton, the final score was a draw. But some Republicans did better than others, and Clinton probably emerges with a healthier reputation than the administration that she's leaving.

"@placeholder said he was dumbfounded upon discovery of the letter because he had never seen it before and did not know how it came into his father's possession," the affidavit says. | DALLAS, Texas (CNN) -- The FBI has seized a two-page, handwritten letter of condolence sent by Jacqueline Kennedy to the widow of Robert F.

David Petraeus. When Petraeus, probably the best-known military man in the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan, returns to answer questions, the television lights will shine on the four stars he wears on each shoulder.

"Throughout the @placeholder, thematic formation, compositional setting and harmony have a number of components that are found repeated in other Mozart piano works," the foundation said in a statement. | (CNN) -- A previously unknown piano work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was performed Friday at the maestro's home in Salzburg, the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation said. The piece, recently unearthed in Austria, was played by noted pianist Florian Birsak. It was discovered in an attic of a private home in Tyrol, the foundation said, inside a handwritten book with more than 160 pages. Works by Mozart's father were found within the same book. The piece, 84 measures in length, is marked "Allegro molto" -- meaning it is meant to be played "very quick." It is thought to date from around 1767, which would mean Mozart wrote the work when he was about 11 years old.

"Great effort went into making sure that the impact of the landfill on @placeholder's biodiversity was minimized. | LONDON, England (CNN) -- Garbage dumps are generally not associated with thriving coral reefs, vast mangrove plantations and rare bird species. Yet on Pulau Semakau off Singapore, this is exactly what you will find: just beside a secluded ecological zone that harbors dozens of rare plant, bird and fish species lies the world's first ecological offshore landfill. Located 8 kilometers south of Singapore and covering an area of 3.5 square kilometers, the Semakau Landfill was designed by engineers and environmentalists at Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA). It consists of two small islands that have been connected by a rock embankment. The area inside the landfill is divided into 11 bays, known as 'cells', which are lined with thick plastic and clay to prevent any harmful material from seeping into the sea.

No matter which plan they chose, including the traditional @placeholder plan, seniors would receive a government subsidy to help pay for their choice. | Washington (CNN) -- House GOP leaders unveiled a 2013 budget blueprint Tuesday that has little chance of becoming law but draws a clear contrast with Democrats on taxes, spending, and a host of hot-button political issues -- all of which could play a pivotal role in the 2012 campaign. Republicans cast the $3.53 trillion plan -- which doubles down on past GOP proposals to overhaul Medicare and other politically sensitive programs -- as a bold attempt to reverse skyrocketing federal deficits and avert a looming fiscal catastrophe. "This plan of action is about putting an end to empty promises from bankrupt government and restoring the fundamental promise of America, ensuring that our children have more opportunity than we do," said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin.
