'The evidence couldn’t be more clear that @placeholder just doesn’t work,' he said. | Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius maneuvered one of America's richest liberal philanthropies into contributing $13 million to Enroll America, a group founded by a former Obama White House staffer to drive up insurance enrollment numbers under the Affordable Care Act. A report issued Monday by the Government Accountability Office shows what Republican members of Congress ave anticipated learning since 2013: that Sebelius called a total of five organizations a year ago and urged them to help Enroll America reach its goals. One call went to the CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which made $3 million and $10 grants to the group after hearing her request. That amount was a dramatic increase from the $150,000 it had contributed the previous year.

China is a long way from posing the kind of challenge to @placeholder that the kaiser's Germany posed when it passed Britain at the beginning of the last century. | Cambridge, Massachusetts (CNN) -- A century ago, the rise of Germany and the fear it created in Britain led to world war. Some analysts predict a similar fate from the rise of China and the fear that is creating in the United States. One should be skeptical about such dire projections. By 1900, Germany had surpassed Britain in industrial power, and Kaiser Wilhelm II was pursuing an adventurous, globally oriented foreign policy that was bound to bring about a clash with other great powers. In contrast, China still lags far behind the United States economically and militarily, and has focused its policies primarily on its region and on its economic development. While its "market Leninist" economic model (the so-called "Beijing Consensus") provides soft power in authoritarian countries, it has the opposite effect in many democracies. Soft power is the ability to produce preferred outcomes by attraction rather than coercion or payment, and China has announced major efforts to increase its soft power.

Republicans are requiring the marathon session if @placeholder want to clear a long list of nominees before leaving for vacation next week. | (CNN) -- Frustrated Republicans are retaliating for a Democratic play to weaken their hand in opposing presidential nominations, forcing an all-night session into Thursday's early hours. Votes on judicial and other appointments took place early Thursday morning, part of the fallout after the Democratic majority enforced a rule change to expedite consideration of appointments, the so-called nuclear option. Until last month, longstanding Senate rules required a supermajority of 60 votes to break a filibuster over a presidential nominee. Republicans fiercely opposed the change, which now allows the majority Democrats to break filibusters with 51 votes. Democrats, who hold a 55-45 advantage in the Senate, said Republicans had abused the filibuster privilege around President Barack Obama's nominations, and the only way for him to staff his second-term administration promptly and move stalled judicial appointments was to speed things up through a rules change.

Many fans of the show disliked Whitburn and her changes to @placeholder - one columnist said that she 'not only turned it into politically correct drivel but totally deprived it of its humour'. | It was the explosive storyline that threatened to derail life as we know it in the gentle village of Ambridge. After a local gamekeeper is brutally murdered, one of the show's best-loved characters Ed Grundy is wrongfully jailed for life for a crime he didn't commit. Except, as fans of Radio 4's rural soap The Archers know, it never happened. New storyline: Brian Aldridge (Charles Collingwood, pictured with Tamsin Greig who plays Debbie Travers-Macy) had an affair and child with Siobhan Hathaway in the show instead of the story running the Eddie Grundy miscarriage of justice story The director of BBC Radio Helen Boaden has revealed that she banned the programme makers from airing the dramatic plot twist because she felt it was too 'far fetched', leaving the show's editor close to tears.

@placeholder earned 14 first-place votes, 13 second-place votes and one third-place nod from the baseball scribes. | (CNN) -- The Cy Young Award winners as Major League Baseball's best pitchers in 2012 couldn't be more different. In the American League, a young left-hander with a blazing fastball, entering the prime of his career, narrowly topped the 2011 recipient. In the National League, a 38-year-old knuckleballer with a mediocre track record until 2010 made his mark on history. Is baseball still the national pastime? The Tampa Bay Rays' David Price garnered just enough votes from the Baseball Writers' Association of America to win the AL prize. Price, 27, tied for the American League lead with 20 wins, against only five losses, and led the AL with a 2.56 earned run average. Both those marks were career bests for the former Vanderbilt University star, whom the Rays chose with the top pick in the entire 2007 amateur draft. Price also struck out 205 batters, sixth-most in the league.

"He was not the same person who @placeholder loved and gave him a landslide victory in 2009." | (CNN) -- Longtime women's rights activist and Malawian Vice President Joyce Banda took charge of her homeland Saturday, ending two days of political intrigue after the death of President Bingu wa Mutharika. Supporters cheered and danced as she was sworn in at a ceremony in the capital, Lilongwe, as Malawi's first female president. "You have come to witness this occasion from all walks of life regardless of tribe, religion or political affiliation," she said. "I want all of us to move into the future with hope and with that spirit of oneness and unity." Banda's ascension was contentious even though under the terms of Malawi's constitution, the vice president was in line for the highest office in the land. However, Banda's falling out with the ruling party had raised fears over a potential succession struggle.

Alternatively, many experts believe a democratic @placeholder could also become more nationalistic. | Davos, Switzerland (CNN) -- In 2013, the greatest risk of conflict doesn't lie in the halls of the U.S. Congress, on the battlefield in Syria nor the rising rhetoric between Iran and the international community, according to Ian Bremmer of Eurasia Group. "China-Japan is by far the most important and consequential geopolitical conflict on our screen for the entire year of 2013," Bremmer told CNN's John Defterios at the World Economic Forum in Davos. A territorial dispute over islands in the East China Sea boiled over into often violent anti-Japanese demonstration in China last September has led to tensions between the world's second and third largest economies. Last week, new Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe returned from a trip to Southeast Asia to shore up support of nations also at odds with China over disputed land claims in the South China Sea.

A lot of Americans have been yearning for an @placeholder champion – they want an American champion, they want the excitement. | The abridged story of Michael Grant reads as follows. A natural, muscle-bound athlete who excelled at baseball, basketball and American football; poor grades forced him to shelve his college dreams and try his hand at boxing. Grant fought just 12 times as an amateur before turning professional and of his first 31 fights, only seven went the distance. He was heavyweight boxing’s next big thing. Until he ran into Lennox Lewis at the turn of the millennium. Michael Grant lands a punch on Obed Sullivan during his win in 1998 and was considered the next big thing Grant came up short when he faced Lennox Lewis at Madison Square Garden in 2000
