Flag bearer: @placeholder has emerged as the unmistakeable embodiment of the Brazil team during the World Cup | There is a 43-year-old, 5ft 5in Brazilian that wears the nickname ‘Pe-de-anjo’, or the ‘foot of the angel’. The name Marcelinho Carioca emerged in conversations after David Luiz earned a garland for his latest artistic execution with one swish of that side-foot, sending the ball swerving at a searing velocity into the top right-hand corner of David Ospina’s goal to defeat Colombia. Carioca was revered for his unique technique when he approached the dead-ball during a glittering career largely spent in his native Brazil, and this was the reference point for Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari in the aftermath of David Luiz’s strike: ‘We had a player who played in Corinthians, Marcelinho Carioca. He used to kick like that — like no one else. I think (David) watched many videos.'

Allred launched a blistering attack on @placeholder at a news conference a week ago, saying his pageant had no right to question Talackova's sexuality. | Los Angeles (CNN) -- The Miss Universe organization announced Tuesday it is ending its ban on transgender contestants after coming under scrutiny recently when a Canadian competitor was told she would be disqualified because she was born male. Miss Universe officials insist the change is in spite of, not because of, legal threats from women's rights lawyer Gloria Allred made on behalf of contestant Jenna Talackova.

'It (@placeholder foul) was a penalty and a clear-cut opportunity to score – it was a red card. | Referee Lee Mason clearly does not rate Seamus Coleman. The Everton right back was six yards from goal with just Costel Pantilimon to beat when a sliding Connor Wickham clumsily sent him toppling to the turf. Simple - penalty, red card. The former, yes. The latter, no. For somehow, Mason kept his cards in his pocket. The whistler's only explanation can be that he did not deem Coleman's chance a goalscoring opportunity. Coleman, do not forget, is a defender who has netted three times already this season – he would have scored.

Archaeologists have discovered artifacts of the prehistoric Clovis culture mingled with the bones of two gomphotheres – an ancient ancestor of the elephant – at an archaeological site in northwestern Mexico. The discovery suggests that the Clovis – the earliest widespread group of hunter-gatherers to inhabit North America – likely hunted and ate gomphotheres.

My seven-year relationship with the people of @placeholder was suddenly severed and that saddened me deeply. | (CNN) -- It is as if the air suddenly disappears from the room. That is how it feels to lose a big job, one that offers a chance to make a real difference. Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned Friday as the leader of our nation's Department of Veteran's Affairs amid a scandal about wait times at VA hospitals. I would never presume to know or imagine his personal frame of mind or feelings right now, but I know a bit about such experiences. In 2012, I abruptly resigned as the administrator of the General Services Administration in the swirl of a scandal around excessive spending at the "Western Regions" training conference, as well as dealings with contractors.

But @placeholder said he and the president were never able to reach an agreement because Obama's "offers never lived up to his rhetoric," a reality he said still exists. | President Barack Obama's upcoming budget plan, which according to senior administration officials will include proposed changes to Social Security and Medicare plus some new tax increases in an effort for the president to reach a deal with Republicans on deficit reduction, quickly drew criticism from liberal groups on Friday. The progressive group MoveOn.org labeled the president's proposed changes to Social Security as "unconscionable" and Democracy for America called the cuts "profoundly disturbing." "Millions of MoveOn members did not work night and day to put President Obama into office so that he could propose policies that would hurt some of our most vulnerable people," read a statement from Anna Galland, executive director of the group.

Remender: I wanted to put Sam into something that felt like a traditional "Captain America" comic book but wanted him to come up against an insurmountable wall unlike anything @placeholder has even faced. | (CNN) -- Say hello to the new Captain. In the first issue of Marvel's "All-New Captain America," in stores today, onetime sidekick Sam Wilson sheds his Falcon persona and picks up the Captain's patriotic shield. Sam replaces Steve Rogers, who begins to age rapidly after losing a battle (he came from the World War II era, after all.) With a woman taking over the role of Thor, an African-American Captain America is yet another example of the diversity trend in comic books. CNN recently spoke to writer Rick Remender on what to expect with this big change. CNN: What led to this decision to hand over the role of Captain America?

But he said that it's all been worth it to put on a swim cap adorned with an @placeholder flag, and especially when his national anthem is played after a gold medal performance | London (CNN) -- Olympic star Ryan Lochte said Friday that he tries to maintain a sense of humor and perspective despite his intense focus on swimming -- one that leaves him little time for romantic relationships or much else besides training and competing. In an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, Lochte showed off one of his grills, which he said shows "part of my personality." Just one of the jewel-encrusted items that often adorn his teeth is reportedly worth $25,000. "I am taking this seriously, but there's so much more to life than just swimming," he said.

He disputed reports that @placeholder forces had used poisonous gas or flown over Cambodian territory, except for helicopters trying to airlift out wounded soldiers. | Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- Renewed clashes in a disputed area along the Thai-Cambodian border killed at least one Thai soldier and left 11 people injured Saturday, Thailand's MCOT news agency reported. The skirmish came a day after officials said three Thai soldiers and three Cambodian soldiers were killed in fighting there. Each side blames the other for the violence, which erupted Friday near two temples in the Phanom Dong Rak district of Thailand's Surin province. Authorities have evacuated thousands of people from nearby villages.

But then, as defense minister, he evicted thousands of @placeholder from settlements in Sinai to fulfill Israel's treaty with Egypt. | (CNN) -- Written on every page of Israel's history, in ink and in blood, is the name Ariel Sharon. His life, which ended today after an eight-year coma, deeply influenced Israel's past. But even in death, Sharon will influence the future, as Israelis consider their options if the two-state solution fails. During Israel's 1948 War of Independence, the handsome blond officer, known as "Arik," was shot and left for dead. He recovered and founded Israel's first commando unit, which conducted raids beyond Israel's borders. In the 1956 Sinai campaign, he led Israel's legendary paratroopers into clashes behind enemy lines. A successful general in the 1967 Six Day War, he achieved world fame six years later by spurring Israeli troops across the Suez Canal to encircle the Egyptian army in the Yom Kippur War. The image of Sharon, still blond but now stout, his head wrapped in a bloodied bandage, became iconic. His heroism was uniquely Israeli, built by breaking rules as well as orders, and by surrounding himself with controversy and myth.
