In @placeholder, it may be closer to reality than most state residents realize. | By Associated Press and Ashley Collman for MailOnline The 6.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked northern California this weekend may not have been deadly but it was certainly disastrous to the historic buildings in downtown Napa. The capital of the state's wine country was littered with bricks Sunday morning after the earthquake caused brick buildings to crumble, despite many being retrofitted to withstand the tremors. Experts say damage could exceed $1billion. Now locals are calling for an alert system to be put in place to warn them the next time a major earthquake hits - even if it's just a few seconds to duck and cover.

And as the world marks International Day of the Girl on Friday, it is worth remembering all those young girls, the same age as Malala and some even younger, whose voices go unheard: the millions of child brides around the world robbed of their youth and their rights, including the chance at education.

Commentators decry that Shinzo Abe's visit will increase tensions in East Asia. They are right: this gesture will curdle Japan's already sour relations with South Korea or China, and indeed has already provoked the predictable outcry. But Yasukuni visits are a symptom, not the main cause, of Japan's poor relations with its neighbors. A country's commemoration is a vital part of its national identity, but depending on their political agendas, leaders constantly manipulate and negotiate national remembrance. Countries often glorify their own past, while vilifying their rivals' behavior and ignoring their suffering.

In @placeholder he grew up only thinking about attacking football. | Ruud Gullit has launched a damning critique of Louis van Gaal’s transfer strategy at Manchester United, claiming that his compatriot has badly mis-judged the nature of Premier League football by signing mainly attacking players. Former Chelsea manager and European Footballer of the Year Gullit has previously been a supporter of van Gaal, notbaly duirng the World Cup when he backed the manager’s tactics for the Holland national team when van Gaal was under attack from the likes of Johan Cruyff. But Gullit is perplexed by the signings of Van Gaal at Manchester United, with the likes of Angel Di Mario, Radamel Falcao, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo coming in for £170million even though United have neglected to sign central defenders.

Decisive economic policy has been lost in the revolving door of the country's top leader, with @placeholder seeing six prime ministers in just five years. | Tokyo (CNN) -- Japan has slipped to the world's third largest economy, falling behind the blistering speed of China's manufacturing growth, according to Japanese figures released Monday. Japan's cabinet office released its nominal gross domestic product figures for 2010. Japan's economy was valued at US $5.4742 trillion dollars while China was at US $5.8786 trillion. Japan's economy did grow in 2010, but only 3.9%, according to the government. China's is expected to grow more than 10%.

'Tremendous': @placeholder pilot Tony Cooper sits in the cockpit of the completed Spitfire alongside owner Mr Arlow | By James Rush PUBLISHED: 07:53 EST, 18 February 2013 | UPDATED: 19:18 EST, 18 February 2013 A spitfire enthusiast has spent 28 years building a life-size version of the famous fighter plane from scratch. Terry Arlow, 56, built the 'perfect' replica of a Spitfire Mk. IX, the same one flown by his friend Tony Cooper during World War Two, despite having no engineering skills, after landing on a plan for the aircraft. He was inspired by the 1969 war film Battle of Britain when a youngster. But it took eight years alone to secure the plans from the RAF museum in Hendon.

Citing his education as a sociologist, @placeholder had a ready answer: because heterosexual marriage is in the best interest of society. | If at first you don't succeed, discuss. A day after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a "religious freedom" bill that critics say would have allowed businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians, a supporter of the bill said that community appeared to need no special protection, thank you very much. "Where are the examples of gays being discriminated against?" Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, asked CNN's Chris Cuomo, in an interview on "New Day" that became a spirited discussion of marriage. "If they're so discriminated against, how come they make more money than straight people, on average?"

Eman al-Obeidy's parents told CNN Tuesday they are no longer afraid to publicly condemn the Libyan strongman, an act that would have been unthinkable just weeks ago. If Gadhafi were to face Ahmed now, she would slap him, she told CNN Tuesday. Al-Obeidy burst into the hotel housing international journalists in Tripoli Saturday and told them she had been raped by 15 militia men.

In fact, things looked like they might get a bit hairy as a bemused Rooney responded with the sort of death stare he usually reserves for overzealous footballing opponents. He did, however, stop short of giving the BBC political editor the hairdryer treatment his Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson is so famous for.

When fighters from ISIS, which refers to itself as the Islamic State, stormed Sinjar over the weekend, the Yazidi minority who call the area home fled into the nearby mountains in fear of their lives. Some of them didn't make it. "We heard sounds of mortars and in the morning they (Islamic militants) entered Sinjar," Zahra Jardo, a Yazidi woman who escaped the violence, told Reuters. "So we fled to the mountains, and those who stayed there are now suffering from thirst. They have no water. They also took girls and raped them. They said that Yazidis have to be converted to Islam."
