query: The Austrian paid tribute also to @placeholder's abilities, saying he was 'dangerous (as a rival) in any car. entities: Austrian, Fernando Alonso, Formula One, Gazetta dello Sport, Hamilton, Italy, Kitzbuehel, Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes, Toto Wolff, Wolff passage: Fernando Alonso would be top of the list for Mercedes if Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton fails to agree a new deal with the team beyond this year, according to motorsport director Toto Wolff. Hamilton, who took his second championship in 2014 after winning 11 races, has yet to put pen to paper on a new contract despite both sides talking about their eagerness to stay together. 'There's no hurry, we'll discuss it during the year,' Wolff told Italy's Gazetta dello Sport newspaper in an interview from his vacation in the Austrian ski resort of Kitzbuehel when asked about the talks. Lewis Hamilton is yet to sign a new contract with Mercedes. Hamilton won his second championship in 2014 with 11 race victories. Director Toto Wolff said Fernando Alonso would be an ideal replacement

query: @placeholder managed to rescue everyone -- in fact, he never lost anyone at sea in his eight transatlantic crossings -- and to gather valuable items from the ship before it sank into an estimated 15 to 25 feet of water. entities: Americas, Barry Clifford, Bergreen, CNN, Caribbean Sea, Carl Sagan, Clifford, Columbus, Explorer, Extraordinary, Haiti, Laurence Bergreen, Santa Maria passage: (CNN) -- "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," the astronomer Carl Sagan once said. In the case of the extraordinary claim concerning the possible discovery of the wreck of Santa Maria, the flagship of Columbus' fleet, it's clear that we aren't there yet. In fact, we seem to be getting further away from proof all the time. The potential discovery of the wreck, which happened on the first of Columbus' four voyages to the Americas, has become a flashpoint for the difficulties of determining the authenticity of artifacts honored in memory but difficult to locate in the present. The discoverer, underwater explorer Barry Clifford, says he has quite a few reasons to believe he's found the right ship in the Caribbean Sea. Columbus left details in his diary about the location of the sinking, which happened near Haiti on Christmas Day in 1492. Clifford maintains that description matches the shipwreck's whereabouts. Explorer says he found wreck of Santa Maria, flagship of Columbus' fleet, off Haiti. Laurence Bergreen believes discovery is highly unlikely, given erosion, shifts, tides. Bergreen:The wooden parts of the ship probably have not survived 500 years. Bergreen: Given potential historic significance, this wreck needs careful examination

query: In a statement, @placeholder said, "When a journalist disagrees with the editorial position of his or her organization, the usual course of action is to address those grievances with the editor, and, if they cannot be resolved, to quit like a professional." entities: Abby Martin, America, Crimea, Hungarian, Liz Wahl, Martin, Moscow, Putinist, RT, RT., Russia, Russia Today, Soviet, U.S., Wahl passage: Another member of state-funded Russia Today made waves on Wednesday -- not by standing behind Moscow, as the news network is wont to do, but by bucking it. From the anchor chair, Liz Wahl closed a show -- as seen in video which she later tweeted -- talking about the "ethical and moral challenges" she faces working for Russia Today, also known as RT. She spoke of being from a family who fled to America to escape Soviet forces during the 1956 Hungarian revolution, being the daughter of a U.S. military veteran and being the partner of a physician who works at a U.S. military base. Liz Wahl says RT is about "promoting a Putinist agenda, "bashing America" Wahl quits state-funded RT on-air, saying she believes in "disseminating the truth" Fellow RT personality Abby Martin had slammed "Russia's military occupation of Crimea" But Martin is still with RT, having made her remarks "in the context of her own ... show"

query: The people of @placeholder are getting no say, not even through their parliamentarians. entities: Belgian, Belgium, Blair, British, Brussels, CNN, EC, Europe, European Council of Ministers, European Union, Gordon Brown, Herman Van Rompuy, Japanese, Tony Blair, UK PM, Van Rompuy passage: Brussels, Belgium (CNN) -- European Union leaders named Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy as the first "president of Europe" Thursday, edging out former British Prime Minister Tony Blair for a still-vaguely defined job. "I did not seek this high position, and I didn't take any steps to achieve it," Van Rompuy said in accepting the job. "But tonight, I take on this task with conviction and with enthusiasm." Van Rompuy, a 62-year-old, soft-spoken fan of Japanese poetry, will become the face of European Union and represent its 27 member nations at summits overseas. His conservative government took office in December 2008. Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy appointed first "president of Europe," British PM Gordon Brown says. Tony Blair ruled out after his successor as UK PM realized Blair had insufficient support. President of EC will be first permanent chief of the European Council of Ministers.

query: Eventually she settled on the challenge that would in many ways define her: rowing the @placeholder single handed. entities: Atlantic, British, CNN, Pacific, Pacific Ocean, Rowed, Roz, Roz Savage, Savage passage: (CNN) -- There are many reasons why Roz Savage is an extraordinary woman -- she has rowed single-handed across the Atlantic and is now tackling the Pacific, after all. Life changer: From successful career to ocean rower, Savage has been an inspiration for many. But her response to everyday commuter ennui is perhaps of the most remarkable things about her. Back in 2000 a 33-year-old Roz was facing another dreary journey by train to the office. She had a great job as a management consultant, money and a husband; but deep down she knew something was missing. So, instead of just burying her feelings, she wrote two obituaries of herself. In one she kept going with life as it was. In the other she took a jump into the unknown and did the things she'd always wanted to. From that moment on her life has never been the same. British woman swapped career for adventurous life and raising eco awareness. Rowed solo across Atlantic; now attempting same feat across the Pacific Ocean. Her positive message has been inspirational to many across the world. "I don't see myself as a hero, just a human being trying to be the best she can be"

query: His comments come ahead of @placeholder's hosting of a summit of Bric nations later this month. entities: Africa, African, Beijing, China, Chinese, Financial Times, Lamido Sanusi, Nigeria, Sanusi passage: Africa must shake off its romantic view of China and accept Beijing is a competitor as much as a partner and capable of the same exploitative practices as the old colonial powers, Nigeria's central bank governor has warned. Reflecting the shifting views of a growing number of senior African officials who fear the continent's anaemic industrial sector is being battered by cheap Chinese imports, Lamido Sanusi cautions that Africa is "opening itself up to a new form of imperialism". "China takes from us primary goods and sells us manufactured ones. This was also the essence of colonialism," he writes in the Financial Times. His remarks are among the most trenchant yet by a serving African official about the continent's ties with the world's second largest economy. Nigeria's central bank governor warns China is a rival as much as trade partner. Africa is opening itself up to new "imperialism", says Sanusi. Trade between China and Africa worth more than $200 billion

query: @placeholder, who had led by four shots going into the final round, pulled his tee shot on the 18th into a bunker, but a fine third left him with an eight-foot putt to force a playoff. entities: Adam Scott, Australia, Big Easy, British, British Open, CNN, Els, Ernie Els, North West England, Open, Royal Lytham, Scott, South African, St Annes, St. Annes, Tiger Woods, Triple passage: (CNN) -- Veteran golfer Ernie Els took advantage of a remarkable collapse by long-time leader Adam Scott to win the British Open for the second time at Royal Lytham and St. Annes Sunday. The 42-year-old South African posted a two-under 68 in testing conditions on the links course in North West England to go into the clubhouse on seven-under 273, but Australia's Scott still looked set to claim his first major title. However, a disastrous run of four straight bogeys from the 15th saw the 32-year-old finish one shot adrift of former world No. 1 Els, who won his fourth major title and his first since claiming the British Open in a playoff in 2002. Ernie Els wins British Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes. Adam Scott bogeys last four holes to hand one-shot win to Els. Second British Open triumph for the 'Big Easy' Triple bogey derails Tiger Woods who finishes tied third

query: What I found out was this journey, the Nazi (@placeholder) and his wife were accompanied by my grandparents," Goldfinger told CNN. entities: Arnon Goldfinger, CNN, Germany, Israeli, Leopold von Mildenstein, Nazi, SS, Tel Aviv, The Flat, Zionists passage: (CNN) -- At first glance, "The Flat" might seem like an episode of "Hoarders," Israeli-style. The documentary film opens after an elderly woman dies in Tel Aviv. Her grandchildren assemble to clean out her apartment, packed with dusty books, vintage clothing (dozens of pairs of fancy gloves, for instance), enough purses to stock a department store, jewelry, mementoes and closets full of knickknacks. But buried among the detritus they chance upon something remarkable -- mysterious papers linking the grandparents to an important Nazi figure. How could such ardent Zionists, who left their native Germany in the early 1930s, have been involved with an SS official like Leopold von Mildenstein? Israeli director Arnon Goldfinger was shocked by what he found out about his grandparents. His quest became the award winning documentary "The Flat" He says he faced a difficult decision with the project

Togo, who pulled out of this year's finals after a terror attack on their team bus left three dead, were hit with the shock ban and a $50,000 fine by the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) on Saturday.

query: It's a heat-wave in @placeholder, the perfect time to escape. entities: Asia, Berlin, CNN, Diana Magnay, Fuji, Google, Japan, Japanese, Lonely Planet, Magnay, Mount Fuji, Tokyo, Yoko passage: Mount Fuji, Japan (CNN) -- At the start of a three-month reporting stint in Tokyo, I'd thought vaguely to myself how I wouldn't mind climbing Mount Fuji when my assignment was done -- in the way that I've always vaguely wondered about running a marathon, but never got round to it. Fuji, after all, is a mountain close to the hearts of all Japanese, an icon of this beautiful country ... and front cover of the Lonely Planet, which I had furnished myself with prior to departing Berlin, my regular reporting base. Then when my producer, Yoko, told me that she'd found coming down Fuji worse than running a marathon, I thought to myself, "It'll never happen." Diana Magnay will join team from Google as they chart a route to Fuji's summit. The expedition marks the end of Magnay's assignment in Asia.

query: But provoking @placeholder is exactly what five years of "reset" has now achieved. entities: Barack Obama, Congress, Cotton, Crimea, House of Representatives, Rubio, Russia, Russian, Senate, U.S., Ukraine, Vladimir Putin, Washington passage: Congress returns to Washington facing the biggest international crisis in years. It is critical the House of Representatives and Senate work together to send a strong and unified message that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is unacceptable, and take quick action to punish President Vladimir Putin. While we are both relatively new to Washington, we've been here long enough to realize that our divided Congress isn't good at "quick action" or "unified messages." Yet we also recognize that the roots of Russia's actions last week to invade and control Crimea are complex, and they predate President Barack Obama's tenure. This challenge is truly bigger than our partisan divides. Rubio and Cotton feel the U.S. response on Ukraine should transcend "partisan divides" They say Congress should support sanctions, implement a trade embargo. Consider restricting imports of natural gas and cutting off Russian banks, they say. They argue that similar actions will proliferate around the world if steps aren't taken now

query: And in an hour somebody on @placeholder will turn it into a slang sex term. entities: Al Gore, Apparently This Matters, CNN, CNN Tech, Frenchton, Google, Jarrett, Reddit, Though, Tom Hanks passage: (CNN) -- If you do a Google image search right now for "cute furry animals," you'll immediately find yourself in a fantastic world of kittens and hamsters and ducks and raccoons. And, oddly enough, if you scroll down a bit, there's even a bizarre Photoshopped image of Tom Hanks. It's his head on a bird's body. The Internet. Just like Al Gore intended. Of course, as expected, you'll also find more than enough puppies to choke a horse. (Though, that does seem a rather strange and unethical metaphor. But, nevertheless, if gagging a thoroughbred is at the top of your Outlook, I'd think just one medium-sized Frenchton would do the trick.). "Apparently This Matters" is CNN Tech's weekly, offbeat look at the social Web. This week, Jarrett breaks down a post on a university's "puppy room" Puppies, when you think about it, are the answer to all of life's ills.

query: Liverpool have invested a significant amount of time and money into nurturing @placeholder. entities: Albion, Bolton, Bolton Wanderers, Brighton, Championship, Hyypia, Joao Teixeira, Leeds, Liverpool, Melwood, Portuguese, Sami Hyypia, Sporting Lisbon, Steven Gerrard, Teixeira passage: A ringing endorsement from Sami Hyypia is one you cherish. That’s exactly what Joao Teixeira has enjoyed after the Liverpool youngster’s loan spell at Brighton has begun with the sort of promise that will have those around Melwood with more than a little interest. Hyypia spoke of Albion having a ‘very good player’ on their hands and the need to ‘get the ball to him in dangerous areas’. Clearly the Championship side see the Portuguese as their catalyst – even after just three games together. Hardly surprising really, Teixeira has two goals in his first three – including the winner against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday. Liverpool signed the Portuguese for £800,000 from Sporting Lisbon. Brighton boss Sami Hyypia spoke to Steven Gerrard before landing Joao Teixeira on a season-long loan. The playmaker scored against Leeds last weekend and Bolton on Saturday

Dressed in military fatigues, they are guided by a fearless leader who calculates every step and ensures the safest path for his comrades. It takes just minutes for the unit to confront the first of many hidden targets: a muddied 20-year-old land mine buried a few inches beneath the ground. "This is an active land mine made from Russia. [If] we step on [it] ... it explodes and cuts the leg off," says Aki Ra, leader of the Cambodian Self Help Demining team. He and his group are working to make their country safer by clearing land mines -- many of which Aki Ra planted himself years ago. As a child soldier for the Khmer Rouge, Aki Ra planted up to 5,000 land mines a month. Now he goes into rural villages to find remaining mines and defuse them. Aki Ra has also taken in about 100 orphans, some injured by land mines. Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2010 CNN Heroes

query: This national @placeholder strategy has been worked on for 15 months, [and] I think it could have been done in 15 minutes. entities: AIDS, Americans, Barack Obama, CNN, HIV, Obama, United States, Washington, White House, World Health Organization passage: Washington (CNN) -- The Obama administration aims to cut the annual number of new HIV infections in the United States by 25 percent over the next five years, according to a nationwide HIV/AIDS strategy unveiled Tuesday. Federal officials are also seeking to combat a growing sense of complacency about the disease, partly by reducing the percentage of infected Americans who are unaware of their status. Specifically, the strategy focuses on three key areas: reducing the number of people who become infected, increasing access to care, and decreasing HIV-related health disparities. "The actions we take now will build upon a legacy of global leadership, national commitment, and sustained efforts on the part of Americans from all parts of the country and all walks of life to end the HIV epidemic in the United States and around the world," President Barack Obama said in a memorandum sent to a number of federal departments and agencies. A leading AIDS activist criticizes the White House for underfunding HIV/AIDS efforts. The White House HIV/AIDS plan focuses on reducing infections and increasing access to care. Roughly 1.1 million Americans are infected with HIV/AIDS. AIDS accounted for 2 million deaths worldwide in 2008, the World Health Organization says

MPs will get 'free vote' in referendum regardless of the PM's renegotiation. It means Tories will be able to argue Mr Cameron's renegotiation has failed.

Taylor, a former president of Liberia, was found guilty after a lengthy trial by a special court sitting in The Hague for aiding and abetting rebels during the bloody conflict in Sierra Leone between 1996 and 2002. The violence in Sierra Leone shocked the world as thousands of civilians were caught up in the fighting. Limbs were hacked off as punishment, mass killings and gang rape were common and thousands of children were forced to fight or become sex slaves. The survivors still struggle with the mental and physical scars of their ordeals. During Sierra Leone fighting, limbs were hacked off as punishment.

Now the question is whether the negotiations expected to last nine months will bring an even more historic image, with President Barack Obama bringing together Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to sign a final-status agreement that creates a sovereign Palestinian state in what is now part of Israel. NEW: Kerry says he will be the only person authorized to provide information on the talks. Secretary of State Kerry says the talks seek a final status agreement in nine months. Israel agrees to release some Palestinian prisoners. Obstacles include agreeing on the status of Jerusalem

Last night, Boumeddiene, 26, was branded ‘armed and dangerous’ by France’s top policeman Jean-Marc Falcone, who said she was believed to have helped plan the attacks. Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, is the 'wife' of gunman Amedy Coulibaly. He killed a policewoman and then four hostages in a kosher bakery.

It turns out he was also a spy for the Union Army, providing key secrets to the North about the Confederacy. William Jackson, a slave, listened closely to Jefferson Davis' conversations and leaked them to the North. Jackson was Davis' house servant and personal coachman. He learned high-level details about Confederate battle plans and movements because Davis saw him as a "piece of furniture" -- not a human, according to Ken Dagler, author of "Black Dispatches," which explores espionage by America's slaves. William Jackson, a slave, learned key details inside the home of Jefferson Davis. Davis was president of the Confederacy; Jackson leaked key secrets to the Union. "Because of his role as a menial servant, he simply was ignored" by Southerners. Author said history must never forget the sacrifice of African-Americans in Civil War

Abigail arrived with her mother Zenya and sister Sarah and looked pale and drawn as she took her place on the front bench. It was her first public appearance since returning home last week after going missing nine months. The suspect Nathaniel Kibby, 34, walked into court flanked by his publicly provided legal team, wearing an orange jumpsuit and requested financial legal aid. Details of what led authorities to arrest Kibby were not released in Conway Circuit Court today, but a law enforcement source earlier revealed the suspicion that Abigail was held hostage in a shipping container on Kibby's property. Nathaniel Kibby, 34, made his first court appearance Tuesday after his MOnday arrest for kidnappying 15-year-old Abigail Hernandez in October. Abigail and her mother Zenya sat in the front row of court today as Kibby was arraigned. The teen stunned authorities last week when she suddenly returned home after her nine-month disappearance. After his arrest, authorities surrounded a shipping container on Kibby's property with crime scene tape. He was arrested twice while Abigail was missing, once in October on marijuana possession and again in March on criminal trespassing.

Mike Hermanstorfer stood next to his wife's hospital bed, stricken. He touched her arm. The skin was cold, ashen. Tracy Hermanstorfer's heart had stopped. "I opened my hand and her arm just fell out of mine," said Hermanstorfer. "She was already gone." Moments later, the staff at Memorial Health System in Colorado Springs, Colorado, sounded a Code Blue -- resuscitation needed for cardiac arrest. They would have to act fast: Tracy Hermanstorfer, 33, was also in labor. Her baby was perilously close to death. But this was a perplexing case. Before her heart stopped beating, Tracy Hermanstorfer was, by all accounts, completely healthy. Doctors still have few clues about what caused her cardiac arrest.

Doughty stopped short of calling Darren Deon Vann a suspected serial killer, but left the possibility open if police are able to connect the convicted sex offender to any of the six women found in Gary over the weekend. "If we directly attach him to it, we can make that assumption," he said, adding that Vann's statements lead authorities to believe there are "possible other victims." Some cases may date back 20 years, based on what Vann has told police, the chief said. A motel crime scene showed signs of a struggle, police say. Suspect Darren Deon Van, 43, was convicted of aggravated rape in 2009. Indiana authorities have found seven women's bodies since Friday; Vann is in custody. The suspect's confession led to the other possible homicide victims, police say

By now, you probably know the particulars: the New York Mets' Daniel Murphy missed the first two games of the season to attend his son's birth. He didn't do anything he wasn't allowed to do.

In Leningrad on December 1, 1934, a lone gunman killed Sergey Kirov, a powerful Bolshevik who stood as an alternative to Josef Stalin. Stalin's involvement in the murder was denied, and never proved. It goes without saying that the Kremlin also was quick to deny Putin's involvement in Nemtsov's death. The parallels are worth considering. The murder of Kirov marked the beginning of the great purges, the period in which high-level elites were so thoroughly "cleansed" that the USSR stood unprepared for Hitler's invasion.

Matthew Weiner said it was ‘ridiculous’ to say he was being insensitive by using the billboards, which features a man in a suit tumbling through the sky.

Given the city's liberal bent, the primary serves as a de facto general election. Most of Tuesday's Democratic winners will sail to victory in November against token Republican opposition. But New York hasn't elected a Democratic mayor since 1989, when David Dinkins became the city's first African-American mayor. This is shaping up to be the year that streak ends. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has presided over more than a decade of economic expansion in the city, but his tenure has left a sour taste in the mouths of rank-and-file Democrats, who say the mayor cares more about wealthy Manhattan elites than the outer borough middle class. Mayoral race will mark the end of Bloomberg's decade of control of mayor's office. Disgraced former U.S. Rep. Andrew Weiner is running a distant fourth in Democratic race. Biggest question on Tuesday will be whether front-runner can avoid runoff

Three decades into the epidemic, important headway has been made thanks to ambitious efforts by the U.S. government to end AIDS here and abroad. The National HIV/AIDS Strategy, released in 2010, is the nation's first comprehensive road map with clear and measurable targets to be achieved by 2015: reduce new HIV infections, increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV and reduce HIV-related disparities. Over the past four years, it has prioritized funding where it will have the most impact. Barbara Lee and Kenneth Cole: Big strides made in HIV/AIDS fight.

Obama voiced his view in his first public remarks at the hemispheric event during a meeting of business leaders, where he was part of a panel alongside Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. The possibility of drug legalization has gained traction in Central America, which is being squeezed between suppliers to the south and consumers to the north. Yet the idea goes against decades of the prohibitionist policy backed by the United States, which is largely followed and enforced in Latin America and the Caribbean. NEW: Colombia's president says it is unthinkable if Cuba isn't at the next summit. NEW: Santos adds the summit can be a "starting point" for talks on illicit drugs. Obama says debate is fine, but insists legalization isn't an option in the U.S. The United States wants strong relations with Latin America, Obama says

The vote was 225-201. Republicans argue Obama's executive orders in a number of areas were unlawful because it's the job of Congress to make or change laws. But they believe his handling of the Affordable Care act gives them the best chance at proving their case, and are basing the suit on that issue. House authorization now allows GOP-leaders to have the unusual challenge filed in federal court. The time frame for that is not clear and many legal experts question whether any judge would take it on. Republicans pushing suit over Obama executive actions, 5 Republicans vote no.

Earlier this week, in an open letter to Miley Cyrus, the Irish singer-songwriter offered the lately controversial pop star such tough-love advice as "you don't need to let the music business make a prostitute of you" and "They're there for the money..." and "Kindly fire any --- who hasn't expressed alarm, because they don't care about you." Cyrus has certainly seemed to ask for such admonition -- and warning. In recent weeks, she's shocked the world with antics that have included a seamy, hypersexual awards show performance, a music video in which she swings around naked on demolition equipment and licks sledgehammers, and a Terry Richardson photo session in which she's depicted smoking blunts and violating herself with a red bodysuit. Sinead O'Connor posted an open letter to Miley Cyrus telling her she's a victim. Peggy Drexler: O'Connor could have told Cyrus privately. She says now we have a woman-on-woman battle.

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey will support U.S. in different ways, even under the table
