While, ideally, Lee wants to fight in @placeholder, he may not be able to dictate terms despite being the champ. | Treated to a hero’s welcome at Shannon Airport and a civic reception at Limerick’s City Hall on Merchant’s Quay on Wednesday, it is surely a feeling Andy Lee could get used to. The new WBO middleweight champion is the 21st Irish boxer to claim a legitimate world title (current IBF super-bantamweight kingpin Carl Frampton coming before him) and the Castleconnell native has expressed his firm intention to defend the belt on home soil. In the ring following his sixth-round stoppage of Russia’s Matt Korobov in Las Vegas last Saturday, Lee declared in his post-fight speech: ‘I’m a champion now and I want to defend my belt in Ireland.’

@placeholder students and faculty engage in surprisingly open discourse, even criticism of their government, on campuses in China. | (CNN) -- The Chinese legal advocate Chen Guangcheng, facing the end of his fellowship at New York University, has claimed that NYU is forcing him out due to Chinese pressure. NYU's participation in a complex deal to allow Chen to leave China to study gave the dissident and his family breathing space, and helped the United States and China untangle a thorny diplomatic dilemma after Chen fled to the U.S. embassy in Beijing in April 2012. NYU in fact did a great favor not only for Chen but also for both the U.S. and Chinese governments. NYU's spokesman says the end of Chen's fellowship "has nothing to do with the Chinese government; all fellowships come to an end." Chen has, in any case, other job options. But whether there was Chinese pressure or not in this case, Chen's experience and allegations highlight the many challenges faced by U.S. academic institutions in the context of evolving Sino-U.S. relations.

Moody's said it would be cutting the rating of Germany's second biggest bank, Commerzbank AG, from A2 to A3 for the long term with a negative outlook. Moody's said its move was driven in part by 'the increased risk of further shocks emanating from the euro area debt crisis in combination with the banks' limited loss-absorption capacity.'

But now @placeholder labs have confirmed our nation's first U.S.-diagnosed Ebola patient. | (CNN) -- The U.S. health system has been preparing since late March for the news we announced Tuesday: the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States. In this age of global travel, we anticipated that a traveler from a country with an Ebola outbreak would come to the United States and develop symptoms once they arrived. But from everything we know now, there appears to be no risk that anyone on this patient's flights from Liberia to the United States was exposed to the virus. Can you catch Ebola on a plane? Clinicians on the front lines have been one key to our safety: identifying patients with both a history of travel and symptoms indicating they might have Ebola, immediately isolating them, consulting their local or state health departments, and getting the patients tested as needed. Indeed, since the outbreak began in Africa, CDC has consulted with state and local health departments on almost 100 cases in which travelers had recently returned from West Africa and showed symptoms that might have been caused by Ebola. Of those cases, 14 were considered to be truly at risk. Specimens from 13 were tested and Ebola was ruled out in all 13 cases.

Simon Mann was arrested after a plane carrying him and about 60 mercenaries landed in Zimbabwe. Mann, a former British army commando, was arrested four years ago in Zimbabwe and extradited to Equatorial Guinea's capital of Malabo earlier this year to face trial for the alleged coup. The trial began Tuesday and a verdict was expected within days. Thatcher, the son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, was arrested along with Mann in 2004. He pleaded guilty in South Africa the following year to unwittingly bankrolling the alleged coup plot; he escaped jail time by paying a fine.

But there is no doubt that he and his team still have a lot of work to do to convince the skeptics, and nowhere is that more important than with the @placeholder public. | (CNN) -- President Barack Obama's surprise decision to seek congressional approval for a strike in Syria was a gamble that will likely succeed and over time may be judged deft. But the way he got there has also raised troubling questions about his leadership in foreign affairs. History strongly favors congressional backing. Over the past two centuries, presidents have asked Congress to approve the use of force before a coordinated military engagement on 18 occasions. Every time, the answer has been at least a qualified yes. The current Congress, of course, is also one of the most partisan and rambunctious of the past century, so there is a risk they will turn him down. But in the end, a majority -- especially in the Senate -- are likely to follow the example of Sen. John McCain. Despite his disagreements with the proposed strike (a "pinprick" to him), the Arizona Republican has concluded that it would be catastrophic for the country to strip the president of his authority and prestige as commander in chief. That argument -- along with others about the risks of emboldening Syria and Iran, appearing to leave Israel exposed and failing to act in the face of such horrific crimes -- will surely carry weight.

Justine Miliband chose an eye-catching @placeholder dress to watch her husband deliver his keynote speech in Brighton on Tuesday | By Toni Jones PUBLISHED: 12:04 EST, 24 September 2013 | UPDATED: 13:54 EST, 24 September 2013 Just 24 hours earlier, she had rallied the faithful by proclaiming she would be 'more than a dress' in the battle for Number 10. But today Justine Miliband laid aside the austere black frock she picked for her address to the Labour party conference and slipped into something a little more feminine for husband Ed's keynote speech. The outfit, a £245 navy jacquard design by LK Bennett, exuded grown-up sophistication. It was a fitting choice for a high-flying barrister who until recently has been one of Britain’s more reticent political wives.

Ballarat prides itself on being the birthplace of democracy, but it doesn't work for the @placeholder people,' he said. | A newly created suburb in Ballarat has been left without a title when residents rejected naming the area after a respected Indigenous leader, claiming it wasn't in line with the suburb's surroundings and that it needed to be 'anglicised'. More than 100 complaints were lodged with Ballarat City Council when the Wadawurrung Aboriginal Corporation made a submission for the suburb, in Ballarat's West, to be named 'Mullawallah', after one of the last known leaders of the Burrumbeet Balug clan. Sean Fagan, a traditional owner of the land and cultural heritage projects officer for the Corporation, said that he had expected the process to be straightforward, but that many in the Indigenous community had been very hurt by the public's reaction.

@placeholder's Kevin Quigley says the photographer is not to blame for Lennon looking grumpy | Aaron Lennon has been in the headlines following his deadline-day move to Everton for failing to smile while posing with his new side's shirt.

Here, Sportsmail photographer Kevin Quigley gives us his view. 'I blame the photographer… It's his job to make him smile. I'll chase the photographer,' joked Everton manager Roberto Martinez on Aaron Lennon’s unveiling pictures. Fair enough, photography is an art. Everyone has their own eye and perception is each to their own. That said, I know Peter Byrne and I am sure if you asked him if he was pleased with that set of pictures he wouldn’t say, ‘Yes, that is the best work I have ever done!’
