One @placeholder blaze that started May 29 has mushroomed into a historically large wildfire.
|
(CNN) -- Thousands of firefighters battling to control dangerous wildfires in Arizona will get a small measure of relief this week as winds calm and humidity levels rise, the National Weather Service said Monday. Critical conditions are forecast Monday across large sections of New Mexico and Texas, and to a lesser extent in Oklahoma and Kansas. On Sunday, critical to extreme conditions could be found in those four states, plus Arizona, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. Arizona bore the brunt of Sunday's fiery conflagration as flames outpaced firefighters' efforts. The Monument Fire -- which U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell has deemed the nation's No. 1 priority, putting it first in line for any air, ground or other resources -- jumped Highway 92 late Sunday afternoon at Carr Canyon heading east, according to the Cochise County website.

@placeholder's return poses a selection dilemma for Wenger given he plays with a lone striker, theoretically meaning he could be forced to choose between Welbeck and Giroud on match days.

Olivier Giroud is set to make his long-awaited come back from injury in the crunch clash against Manchester United. And manager Arsene Wenger has designs on pairing the Frenchman with £15million striker Danny Welbeck to form a potentially prolific strikeforce in the not too distant future. Giroud has missed three month after sustaining a freak ankle injury in the 2-2 draw against Everton at the end of September.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John McCain said Wednesday that the crisis in Georgia should not be used to score political points, but his campaign has stepped up its attacks on Sen. Barack Obama's foreign policy credentials. Sen. John McCain says Russia's entry into the WTO should be reviewed. In response, Obama's top foreign policy aide suggested that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was willing to "shoot from the hip" and was acting irresponsibly by offering strong support for the Georgia government. On Wednesday, McCain continued his tough line against Russia, saying its potential membership in the World Trade Organization should be reviewed as a result of its actions in Georgia, as well its relationship with the G-8 nations, which represent the world's largest industrial economies.

New York (CNN) -- Protesters will resist any efforts to remove them from the Lower Manhattan park where they have been camped for nearly a month, despite Mayor Michael Bloomberg's order that they vacate the park at 7 a.m. Friday so it can be cleaned, an organizer said Thursday. "Come tomorrow morning, we will passively resist and make it as difficult a process to remove us as possible," said Occupy Wall Street spokesman Tyler Combelic. "It's not an occupation if you can't occupy the park." His words appeared to be backed up by the sentiment of the crowd of more than 1,000 protesters who filled Zuccotti Park Thursday night.

Shannon Maureen Conley, 19, now prefers to go by Amatullah, she told CNN during a visit to her jailhouse the day before her sentencing. The name means female "servant of Allah," she said. Conley initially took the name Halima after converting to Islam. She will become one of the first Americans sentenced for conspiracy to support ISIS. Conley attracted national attention last year after authorities arrested her at Denver International Airport. Investigators said she told them she was going to Turkey to await word from an ISIS member in Syria -- a man she met on the Internet and planned to marry.

Moscow (CNN) -- Russia will lift its grain export ban on July 1 this year, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced Saturday. Putin made the announcement at his country residence during a meeting with Viktor Zubkov, his deputy in charge of agriculture. The meeting was shown on Russian state TV. The temporary ban has been in effect since Aug. 15, 2010, following an unprecedented six-week heat wave and drought that wiped out crops in many farming areas. The 2010 grain harvests amounted to just 60.9 million tons -- a staggering 37% drop from 2009, according to the Russian Agriculture Ministry. Russia -- which had been the world's third-largest wheat exporter -- stopped all exports of wheat, rye, barley and corn, as well as flour, boosting a sharp increase in world grain prices.

Roland Dumas, the 92-year-old former foreign minister, said Prime Minister Manuel Valls was pushing a Jewish agenda because of family ties, especially when using terms such as 'Islamo-fascism.' Mr Valls, who is married to a Jewish businesswoman, has been constantly speaking out against anti-semitism since terrorist attacks in January left 17 people dead, including four Jews.

Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michelle Dockery, Gillian Anderson, Idris Elba, Eddie Redmayne, Anna Friel, Sheridan Smith and Steve Coogan star in the exclusive film by renowned photographer and film director, Greg Williams. The idea is to demonstrate the need for urgency in the fight against cancer, so the film features each A- list star running defiantly towards the camera. A semi-dressed Tom Hardy runs through the street in his dressing gown; Idris Elba sprints to escape a street explosion; Anna Friel speeds through an office; Steve Coogan hops over a wall and Gillian Anderson careers towards the camera holding her shoes.

But this holiday season, says Munoz's mother, Lynne Machado, has been "a living hell." Munoz, 33, has been brain dead since her husband, Erick Munoz, discovered her unconscious at home on November 26, Machado said. The family says she is being kept alive on a ventilator at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, even though she would not want her life prolonged by a machine. Texas state law says life-sustaining treatment cannot be withheld from a pregnant patient, regardless of her wishes or the age of the fetus. And Munoz was 14 weeks pregnant when she became hospitalized; now she's at 18 weeks.

He was diagnosed with cancer last year and died on his farm in the western Cuban province of Pinar del Rio, said Habanos spokesman Jose Antonio Candia. Robaina's tobacco leaves are considered some of the best in the world. In Cuba, he was called "The Godfather." His deeply wrinkled face smiled out from billboards, T-shirts and boxes of Vegas Robaina cigars, among Cuba's finest.

The claim comes after NHS Tees and Newcastle University examined the top five books by TV chefs on Amazon in December 2010: River Cottage Every Day by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Kitchen by Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver’s Ministry Of Food and 30-Minute Meals and Baking Made Easy by Lorraine Pascale.

Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- The political arm of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has announced plans to run one of its leaders in the country's presidential elections in May, reversing an earlier pledge to stay out of the race. The once-banned Islamist movement will be represented by Khairat al-Shater, a longtime financial backer, the Brotherhood announced over the weekend. Al-Shater has resigned from his post as deputy chairman to join the already crowded field of presidential candidates, group said. The jail terms he served under ex-Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak had been an obstacle that would have kept him off the ballot. But the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which took power after the 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak, pardoned him Sunday, his lawyer, Abdel Moneim Abdel Maqsood, told CNN.

Brooks, now 86, has won numerous awards and is presently one of only 14 people to receive the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). On May 20 PBS will premiere a documentary on Brooks, "American Masters Mel Brooks: Make A Noise," a film directed by Robert Trachtenberg that chronicles Brooks' career and lasting influence. The film, which recently premiered at The Paley Center in Los Angeles, where Brooks was joined by longtime collaborator and friend Carl Reiner, is an exhaustive look at the continually hilarious -- and often moving -- output of a filmmaker and writer who is largely responsible for the tone of contemporary comedy.

The breakdown of the nation's power grid points to another global concern: The slowdown of developing economies. After the 2008-2009 financial crisis, growth of developing economies like India and China that pulled the world out of recession -- the first time a return to growth from a global recession wasn't led by the developed economies like the U.S., Japan and Europe. So in the face of the eurozone debt crisis and tepid growth in the U.S., the slowdown of the so-called BRIC economies -- Brazil, Russia, India and China -- is a worrisome sign, said Jim O'Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

Polish authorities questioned him there because of the @placeholder request, but refused to arrest him.

An adviser to the Polish president accused U.S. authorities on Monday of 'absolute ignorance' in seeking the arrest of film director Roman Polanski, a Holocaust survivor, while he was in Poland last week for the opening of a Jewish history museum. The comments underline the dilemma of Poland in the face of continued attempts by the U.S. to seek Polanski's arrest on 1977 charges of having sex with a minor. Poland is a close US ally. But the Polish political class has shown a strong aversion to arresting and extraditing the Oscar-winning Polish-French filmmaker, who made his first films in Poland and is admired as a representative of Polish culture.

(CNN) -- Few things distract from the discomfort of flying better than a decent roster of films on the seatback in front of you. As technology progresses, however, those imbedded screens may soon go the way of the dinosaurs. The question is, will passengers be better off for it? At the annual Aircraft Interior Expo in Hamburg next week, exhibitors will showcase the latest innovations in the aviation industry. Front and center is Row 44, an in-fight internet provider that has recently added live TV and video-on-demand to the list of services it offers airlines.

While she mostly travels for work, Mance says taking @placeholder on trips since he was diagnosed with autism at age 2½ helped him not get "rutted into routine."

(CNN) -- Twelve-year-old Peter Mance knows every street before he sets foot in a city. It's not because he's visited before. It's because he's autistic and has an uncanny ability to memorize maps. "He's actually a big help when traveling," jokes his mother, Kim Mance, founder of women's travel blog Galavanting and the Travel Blog Exchange, a community of travel writers and bloggers. Mance's other son, 10-year-old son Stephen, has used a wheelchair since surgery to remove a spinal tumor left him paralyzed from the waist down. Mance always has to make extra phone calls to ensure there's an accessible subway or hotel room, but that hasn't stopped her from vacationing with her sons all over the world.

By Press Association Reporter West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace feels Albion's overhaul this summer has left them a much 'happier' and 'calmer' club. Since finishing the 2013/14 Barclays Premier League season one place above the relegation zone, the Baggies have appointed Terry Burton as technical director, replaced head coach Pepe Mel with Alan Irvine and brought in 11 new players. Two draws and a loss so far have amounted to a somewhat underwhelming start to their 2014/15 campaign, but Peace is pleased with the revamp that has occurred and is looking ahead in optimistic mood.

(CNN) -- Tottenham fought back to clinch a 3-3 draw with Arsenal that further dented their north London rivals' English Premier League title hopes as another capital club, Chelsea, claimed second place on Wednesday. Arsenal led 3-1 five minutes before halftime, but fifth-placed Tottenham rallied with a stunning strike from Tom Huddlestone and then a Rafael van der Vaart penalty after the break. The result allowed defending champions Chelsea to go second on goal difference after a 3-1 victory at home to Birmingham, leaving Manchester United six points clear with five games to play after Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Newcastle.

After a bullet whizzed by her head and death threats showed up at her doorstep, it was time, she figured, to leave. She went to Jordan four years ago and arrived last June at her ultimate destination -- the United States.

But at a time when @placeholder and UEFA can't even agree on how best to referee the penalty area, raising the concern that there is an alarming lack of consistency seems perfectly reasonable.

Pierluigi Collina had spent the best part of half an hour happily explaining why additional referees are the best way of eradicating mistakes in the penalty area when I asked him why FIFA had not bought into his ideas. It is a curious situation for football at the very highest level, after all; the fact that two extra officials will be present at Champions League matches and at a European Championship but are nowhere to be seen come the World Cup. It's as if they are ignoring one of the finest referees football has ever seen. Someone surely worth listening to in his role as UEFA's refereeing chief. 'Politics?' I asked Collina, my inference being that common sense has lost out to the apparent power struggle between Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini over the use of goal-line technology. For the first time the otherwise ebullient Collina fell silent.

Boris Johnson has dropped in on Washington's Smithsonian Air institute during his six-day jaunt to the U.S., but not before taking a swipe at George Osborne and suggesting Americans still wish they were ruled by the Queen. The London mayor yesterday called on the Chancellor to hand massive financial powers to cities to help 'detoxify' British politics. He further claimed that Westminster was going through a 'very rocky period' and devolution would help to 'electrify' the political scene. Later that day, after catching a train from New York to Washington, he visited the Smithsonian Air institute where he was pictured gazing at exhibits ranging from early Boeing models to the Apollo space missions.
