In March, search crews found indications that human remains may lie within a few yards of @placeholder, the onetime hideout of the Manson family. | (CNN) -- Authorities said Friday that they will begin digging for evidence of graves at a California ranch that once was home to the infamous "family" of convicted killer Charles Manson. Authorities said they will start digging at Barker Ranch, Charles Manson's hideout. Soil testing to determine the possible presence of buried bodies was inconclusive, authorities said Friday, so "exploratory excavation" will be done this month, Inyo County Sheriff Bill Lutze said. The dig will be carried out "to either confirm or put to rest speculation that bodies may remain there from the Charles Manson era," Lutze said in a written statement.

But Robertson argued it wouldn’t have been difficult to establish @placeholder’s credibility. | Rangers legend David Robertson warned the Ibrox board they missed a trick by throwing out American financier Robert Sarver’s £20million takeover bid for the crisis club. Earlier this month, Rangers directors rejected the Phoenix Suns owner’s attempt to purchase a controlling stake - arguing he was unlikely to receive the necessary backing of 75 per cent of shareholders. But Phoenix-based Robertson, who suggested to the businessman that he buy Rangers after coaching one of his children at football, criticised the board for not acting in the club’s best interests.

The cartoon was published Wednesday in newspapers and on the Internet. The Anti-Defamation League, which has been fighting anti-Semitism since it was founded in 1913, called the syndicated cartoon by Pulitzer Prize-winning Pat Oliphant "hideously anti-Semitic." The Simon Wiesenthal Center, which, among other things, fights anti-Semitism and educates people about the Holocaust, said "the cartoon mimics the venomous anti-Semitic propaganda of the Nazi and Soviet eras." Published Wednesday in newspapers and on the Internet, the cartoon shows the small figure of a woman, labeled Gaza, carrying a child. She is being pursued by a headless, jackbooted figure wielding a sword, marching in an apparent goose-step and pushing a fanged Jewish star on a wheel.

So when the good doctors of Atlanta warned people this week about how to prepare for a zombie apocalypse, the world took notice. "That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e," Dr. Ali S.

@placeholder learns fast and is far more secure than Ukraine ever was. | (CNN) -- It must have been a galling week for the Russian President. While presiding over a safe, well-run Sochi Games, President Vladimir Putin's key foreign policy objective -- to hold sway over Ukraine's place in the world -- has slipped through his fingers. At the very moment of his crowning Olympic glory, Putin probably had the second worst week of any world leader -- after Viktor Yanukovych. It is tiring to repeat truisms but this is not the Cold War and Russia is not the Soviet Union mark II -- not with 2% of the world economy and a tanking workforce population. Yet in spite of such disadvantages, Russia still desires respect, seeks attention and makes claims to greatness.

Popular: Van Gaal looks towards a crowd of @placeholder fans after helping his country finish third in Brazil | By Chris Wheeler Follow @@ChrisWheelerDM While the Manchester United squad continue to put in the hard yards ordered by Louis van Gaal, their new manager is clocking up air miles as he works on the next chapter of his distinguished career. Van Gaal flew back on Sunday with the Holland squad after leading them to third place at the World Cup. He will spend just two days at home before starting work in Manchester, and another 48 hours in England before United fly to California to start their US tour. Van Gaal’s stock appears to have risen in Brazil, where he became the first Holland coach to go unbeaten in 90 minutes and extra-time at a World Cup.

@placeholder attributes Chile's integration into global markets to its free trade agreements and believes continuing on that path will propel the country to economic stability in spite of negative global factors. | (CNN) -- Sebastián Piñera is a man on a mission. The Chilean President wants to transform his homeland into a developed nation by 2020. It's a big challenge to undertake during a decade that's already been marred by recession and global economic uncertainty. Yet Mr Piñera seems confident. "We have invested so much that I hope that the next two years will be a time of harvest," he told CNN's Richard Quest.

Such an explanation or narrative needs to take into account the sense of victimhood and humiliation some @placeholder feel and seek to externalize. | London (CNN) -- In recent months, much ink has been spilt exploring why some young British Muslims abandon a comfortable life in the UK to join one of the most brutal and blood-thirsty terrorist groups in recent history, namely the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Sadly, much of this commentary has struggled to move beyond clichés that revolve around hate preachers and extremist websites.

"I want to remind you that @placeholder is one of the most powerful nuclear nations," Putin said. | Mariupol, Ukraine (CNN) -- A U.S. lawmaker is calling for the arming of Ukrainian forces engaged in fighting Russian troops along the nation's eastern border with Russia. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey, is in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, on a fact-finding mission into the monthslong conflict there between pro-Russian rebels and the Ukrainian military. Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, Menendez called this a "watershed moment" in the conflict. He said it's time to recognize what's really happening in eastern Ukraine -- not a rebel uprising, but a Russian invasion. "And we must recognize it as that," said Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "When I read the headlines back at home that suggest rebels are advancing in different parts of eastern Ukraine, it's not rebels -- it's Russian soldiers."

'Rupert was open to the idea - he and @placeholder had been at odds for months. | By David Gardner Last updated at 9:30 AM on 3rd November 2011 Tarnished image: Rupert Murdoch apparently told his son to step down as chairman of News International, but then changed his mind Rupert Murdoch told his son James that he should step down as chairman of News International at the height of the phone-hacking scandal in the summer, it has been alleged.

The revelation appears in Vanity Fair's December issue, due out today.
