The second half was played at a much more measured pace until after the @placeholder goals, when Portugal attacked with more intensity, searching for the score that would keep it from being eliminated from the tournament.

This time it was the United States that gave up the dramatic goal. Portugal's Silvestre Varela scored on a strong headed goal deep, deep in stoppage time to give Portugal a desperate 2-2 draw with the United States in a key Group G World Cup match at Manaus, Brazil. The goal, in the 95th minute, came off a cross from Cristiano Ronaldo, who showed no signs of a knee injury that was the subject of much media attention in the buildup to the contest. Second-half strikes by U.S. midfielder Jermaine Jones and striker Clint Dempsey had given the United States a 2-1 lead until Portugal rescued its World Cup chances.

(CNN) -- After all the arrests, court appearances, trips to jail and rehab stays, Lindsay Lohan has turned to reality TV. On Sunday night, the 27-year-old made her latest comeback attempt in the OWN network's "Lindsay," a docu-series that came across in its first episode as part "E! True Hollywood Story" and part "Intervention," with a dash of "Hoarders." (Lohan, apparently, gets rid of nothing.) The premise is to follow Lohan around as she tries to piece her personal and professional life back together after six years of documented turmoil. And so last summer, less than a week after she completed a 90-day stay at a Malibu rehab facility -- a place that actually aired commercials during the show -- Lohan sat down with OWN's Oprah Winfrey for an interview and began filming.

Gun control is a "simmering issue" in these states, said Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser.

Domenech's lawyer, Jean-Yves Connesson, told AFP: "We are requesting 2.9 million euros spread over two payments. "The first is for 400,000 euros and includes compensation for dismissal.

The Daily Mail was invited for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes visit at the Eglin Air Force Base to find out how the first three British flyers and their 13 engineers are learning how to operate the F-35, which is recognisable by its sharp-angled design and special coating which makes it hard for enemy radars to detect.

Harry took a small apartment at Kensington Palace after moving out of the bedroom and study he occupies at nearby Clarence House - the home of his father, Prince Charles. The move, on the heels of this month's successful official tour of the Caribbean, is seen as a sign that the increasingly mature 27-year-old is putting his wild past behind him.

Francois Hollande, a candidate from the center-left Socialist Party, has significant momentum after edging center-right incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy in the first round of France's presidential election on Sunday. If he wins a May 6 runoff against Sarkozy, Hollande would be the first left-wing president since Francois Mitterrand in 1995. Sarkozy is seeking his second five-year term, following Jacques Chirac, who served 12 years in office. Sarkozy received 27.2% of the vote in the first round of voting on Sunday, just behind Hollande's 28.6%.

By Tim Shipman PUBLISHED: 17:49 EST, 26 April 2013 | UPDATED: 04:06 EST, 27 April 2013 Ministers plan to use £1billion of the NHS budget to pay for social care – effectively tearing up the Coalition’s pledge to ringfence Health Service spending. The move comes amid fears hospital accident and emergency departments are being flooded by patients who could be cared for at home. Despite a promise to protect the NHS from the £11.5billion cuts the Treasury has ordered for 2015/16, the proposals could see more than £1billion funnelled from the Department of Health to local authorities.

There was also trouble with the 'special relationship' during the Falklands when the US threatened to tell Argentina that UK troops were landing on South Georgia. Newly declassified files reveal that Britain's historic allies wanted to tell Argentina that the task force was planning to retake South Georgia, the first of the islands to be invaded by Argentina, on April 21. The operation on South Georgia was the first stage of the campaign to retake the Falklands and it would have been disastrous had Argentina been forewarned. Strained relationship: President Ronald Reagan and British PM Margaret Thatcher in 1982 But US secretary of state Al Haig told the British ambassador to Washington, Sir Nicholas Henderson, that informing Britain's enemy was the only way it could stay neutral and negotiate a peace deal.

According to Biringa's mother Chinwe, Obuzor was owed some money and he asked his three classmates to accompany him to the village to collect on the debt. Within minutes of their arrival, a rumor spread that the students were not there to collect but to steal. An enraged mob stripped them naked while beating them with sticks and rocks then wrapped car tires around their necks -- a form of torture known as "necklacing." As the four men sat on the muddy ground dazed and pleading for their lives, someone doused them with gasoline, lit a match and set them on fire.

(Mental Floss) -- 1. Diego Rivera's "Man at the Crossroads" The moral: Never hire a communist to do a capitalist's job. During the Great Depression, Mexican artist Diego Rivera was on a roll. In 1931, he painted a massive mural for San Francisco's Pacific Stock Exchange. And by 1933, he'd completed two more enormous murals of Ford's assembly line for the Detroit Institute of Arts. But there was a disconnect in Rivera's work. Although the artist was a vocal and committed communist, his art was decidedly capitalist. After a few friends pointed out the hypocrisy, Rivera decided to put his paintbrush where his mouth was.

The prosecution said Packer had planned a robbery at the Faria Beach house, north of Los Angles, but ended up sexually assaulting mother-of-two Davina Husted, 42, who was six months pregnant, before stabbing her 30 times. He then stabbed her husband, Brock Husted, also 42, about 20 times.

Challenge: Mr Conville honed his skills in Scotland, where he was an adventure activities instructor He was the climber whose love of Scotland’s mountains inspired his attempt on the feared Matterhorn - an Alpine adventure that ended in tragedy and left his body locked in a tomb of ice. When Jonathan Conville plunged from the 14,690ft peak in 1979, the odds against finding his body were as high as the vertical challenges he lived for. But, 34 years on, melting glacial ice - a result of global warming - has revealed his remains, which have finally been reunited with his family.

In the case of one disgruntled Manchester United his first port of call was to British police demanding to speak with the team's former manager Alex Ferguson.

The desperate plea was revealed on Wednesday by Great Manchester Police (GMP), who advised against such calls being made to the emergency services.

(CNN) -- Despite defense criticisms of what it called a "shameful" leading question about whether Drew Peterson tried to intimidate a neighbor, a judge ruled Thursday that the former Chicago-area police officer's murder trial can proceed. Five witnesses took the stand in Joliet on Thursday, but not before lawyers from both sides argued about whether a mistrial should be ordered, thus bringing the entire case back to square one. This debate followed testimony Wednesday by Thomas Pontarelli, a Bolingbrook, Illinois, neighbor of Peterson's ex-wife Kathleen Savio and one of those who found her dead in a dry, clean bathtub on March 1, 2004.

By Ryan Gorman Three star athletes at a rural Georgia high school have turned themselves in over allegations they took part in the brutal sexual assault of a fellow female student at their senior prom. Fields Chapman, Andrew Haynes and Avery Johnson also all 18-years-old, are accused of sexually assaulting the teen girl May 10 at a raging alcohol-fueled party held at a rented log cabin just outside Calhoun, where all four reside. Gilmer County authorities said the trio inserted a foreign object ‘causing tearing and severe trauma’ into their victim while other students watched but did nothing to stop the attack. It has also been revealed that no parents were present for the party.

While genital herpes, or HSV-2, jumped from ancient chimpanzees to ancestors of modern humans - Homo erectus - approximately 1.6 million years ago, they claim. Scientists studied the cross-species transmission, from chimps (stock image pictured) to human ancestors using advanced models of molecular evolution.

Wladimir holds three of the current world heavyweight belts, Vitali has the prestigious WBC title, and Haye the other. Match-ups between Haye and the Ukrainian pair would help unify the heavyweight crown as well as being a money-spinner. Haye, who has made two successful defenses of his title, was due to fight Wladimir in 2009, but pulled out with a back injury. Meanwhile, Wladimir's bout with another Briton, Dereck Chisora, was called off earlier this month, with the triple champion citing injury, paving the way for an early clash with Haye.
