Castro: @placeholder border security demands on immigration bill are 'not realistic'
A border agent every 1,000 feet, every hour of every day, supported by 700 miles of fencing along the Mexican frontier. No green cards for the 11 million immigrants living illegally in America until those steps and others to enhance border controls are taken. And none of it increases the federal deficit or debt. A bipartisan group of senators unveiled a compromise on Thursday intended to ensure Senate passage of a major immigration reform bill with enough Republican support to persuade the GOP-controlled House to also take up the measure that is a priority of President Barack Obama. The bipartisan amendment would require 20,000 more border agents, completing 700 miles of fence along the boundary with Mexico, and deploying $3.2 billion in technology upgrades similar to equipment used by U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. @highlight Deal says no green cards for undocumented immigrants before border security steps @highlight GOP Sen.

In @placeholder, Gad's deadpan flip performance as Wozniak strikes the most relatable note in the movie, but the only thing we're really arrested by, apart from the spectacle of Jobs' bad behavior, is seeing him talk about computers.
(EW.com) -- Two years ago, Steve Jobs' death was followed by a tidal wave of commentary (the tributes, the Walter Isaacson biography, the why-the-iPod-is-as-major-an-invention-as-the-lightbulb analysis). As a result, most viewers will go into "Jobs," a biopic about the Apple co-founder and black-turtlenecked guru of the technocratic age, knowing two fundamental things about him: that he was a visionary perfectionist obsessed with melding technological form and function into products that would tickle the hearts and minds of the people who used them; and that he was so possessed by that mission that he could be a control-freak dictator, a fanatic, an over-the-top jerk.

The expected moves split the since-renamed Minerals Management Service into separate agencies, with one responsible for approving offshore leases and another to enforce safety and environmental laws. Michael Bromwich, the head of the current Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement, told reporters the reorganization is aimed at beefing up safety after "decades of neglect" and conflicts of interest among regulators.

After conceding 10 goals in the first three games, Martinez has other things to worry about than Costa’s behaviour but will take some solace that @placeholder won’t face a side of Chelsea’s quality every week.
The difference 12 months makes. When Jose Mourinho last visited Goodison Park, his post-match debrief revolved around his frustrations that Chelsea lacked a top-class striker. He spoke about his side’s evolving ‘profile’, lamented the chances they had squandered in a 1-0 defeat and explained why it was the one area that was likely to hinder Chelsea’s pursuit of honours. Fast forward to the present and a £32million investment has transformed Mourinho’s squad.

Peace activist Alix Bryan, 33, arrived near the ranch here on Saturday afternoon aboard a motor scooter that goes about 55 miles per hour -- on 12-inch wheels.

@placeholder expressed hope that the case would not affect the relationship between the two nations.
(CNN) -- The British government condemned China's execution of a British national Tuesday on drug smuggling charges. "I ... am appalled and disappointed that our persistent requests for clemency have not been granted," Prime Minister Gordon Brown said. "I am particularly concerned that no mental health assessment was undertaken." Akmal Shaikh was convicted of carrying up to 4 kilograms (8.8 pounds) of heroin at the Urumqi Airport in September 2007. According to Chinese law, 50 grams (1.76 ounces) is the threshold for the death penalty. China defended the execution in a statement issued by the Chinese Embassy in London. "Drug trafficking is a grave crime worldwide," the statement said. "The concerns of the British side have been duly noted and taken into consideration by the Chinese judicial authorities in the legal process, and Mr. Shaikh's rights and interests under Chinese law are properly respected and guaranteed." @highlight NEW: China defended the execution in a statement issued by the Chinese Embassy in London @highlight Akmal Shaikh's supporters said he was mentally ill and officials did not take that into account when trying him @highlight British government had asked China not to execute Shaikh but China says it has followed law

(CNN)As always, the Internet has jokes. "Who is Paul McCartney?" trended on Twitter this week thanks to Kanye West's collaboration with the former Beatle, "Only One." Apparently people were pleased that the rapper was helping shine a spotlight on a new talent. Really? Many of said tweeters have since said they were just joshing, but we see your fooleywang, people of social media, and we raise the stakes. West isn't the first to try to make this McCartney guy famous. Here are some other folks who tried to boost the fortunes of this obscure Liverpudlian. Michael Jackson McCartney really got a boost from the superstar when the pair released "The Girl Is Mine" in 1982 and followed up with the single "Say, Say, Say" -- which hit No. 1 -- the following year.
