@placeholder returned to his preferred position up front, where he had his first shot on target in the 2015 calendar year | In the parallel universe that Louis van Gaal occasionally seems to occupy, the form team in the Barclays Premier League had to lose some time. It was only their second defeat in 20 games, Manchester United’s manager was quick to acknowledge, and there was a degree of misfortune in the way they lost to a spirited Swansea City team. Jonjo Shelvey’s shot in the 73rd minute had taken a major deflection off Bafetimbi Gomis’s head to leave David de Gea stranded.

House Resolution 5843, titled the @placeholder, would express support for "a very small number of individuals" suffering from chronic pain or illness to smoke marijuana with impunity. | (CNN) -- The U.S. should stop arresting responsible marijuana users, Rep. Barney Frank said Wednesday, announcing a proposal to end federal penalties for Americans carrying fewer than 100 grams, almost a quarter-pound, of the substance. Rep. Barney Frank's bill would radically curb federal penalties for personal marijuana use. Current laws targeting marijuana users place undue burdens on law enforcement resources, punish ill Americans whose doctors have prescribed the substance and unfairly affect African-Americans, said Frank, flanked by legislators and representatives from advocacy groups. "The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government's business," Frank said on Capitol Hill.

Many were shocked with the announcement that Brown and wife Meri, who wed in 1990, had decided to divorce and that Brown would be marrying Robyn, his youngest bride. The decision however was not one of the heart but rather a legal maneuver that will allow Brown to give the children Robyn had when she entered the family, Dayton, Aurora and Breanna, access to insurance and other legal benefits. Of his 17 children, these three are the only ones who Brown is not the biological father of, meaning they had no claim to his insurance.

But over in Alexandria, a soft-spoken teenage girl offered a far more unsettling challenge to the powers that be. Hebat Allah Mahmoud, a young karate enthusiast, was refused a place in her school's tournament photo because, she claimed, she does not cover her hair with a hijab. Her teacher denied such charges of discrimination. Hebat Allah, however was unwilling to take this lying down. Instead, she took to YouTube, in a video in which she tearfully lambasted authorities for willful blindness and narrow-mindedness. Did they not know, she asked, that most of the girls put on the hijab at school but took it off once they left the premises? And she criticized teachers' interpretation of Islam, for insisting that the hijab was religiously mandated and that those who did not wear it were less worthy than those who covered.

The first time around, United ended up 18 points off Chelsea by the end of the season while in the 2005/06 season, @placeholder could only cut the deficit to eight points come the final day of the campaign. | After last weekend's stalemate at Aston Villa brought an end to Manchester United's six-match winning run, manager Louis van Gaal admitted that his side remain some way short of a force capable of winning the Barclays Premier League title. 'When you want to be a part of the title race, you have to win these games,' said Van Gaal, cutting straight to the point, 'I saw Manchester City's first half against Crystal Palace, they struggled but 3-0, that is the difference.' Following Chelsea's 2-0 victory at Stoke City on Monday evening, United fell 10 points behind Jose Mourinho's team. Given Mourinho's remarkable Yuletide record - on the seven occasions his side have been on top at Christmas, they have gone on to win the league title - it would take a considerable lapse of common sense to now back Van Gaal to negotiate a ten-point swing and secure the league title in his first season in charge.

The latest victims include a key opposition leader, Maj. Gen. Khattiya Sawasdipol -- a renegade general better known as Seh Daeng -- who died days after being critically wounded by a sniper's bullet.

Nelson says it took @placeholder four years to recover from the 1873 panic. | (CNN) -- The stock market crashed. Wall Street panicked. People stashed silver and gold under mattresses while businesses shut doors across America. People in Detroit, Michigan, line up for food at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. We're talking, of course, about the Great Depression ... of 1873. That's the event that Scott Reynolds Nelson cites when asked to give an historical perspective on today's sputtering economy. The historian says the economic panic of 1873 started with the same toxic mix as today's crisis: risky mortgages, a stock market dive and the use of complex financial instruments that few understood. "Until 1929, when people used the word[s] Great Depression they referred to 1873," says Nelson, a professor of history at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
