CNN: [@placeholder] seems to be talking about a lot more government involvement in the business community going forward, more government money for an auto industry bailout, another economic stimulus package. | (CNN) -- Ted Turner appeared Tuesday on CNN, the network he founded, to talk about last week's election results, his business ventures, and his relationship with ex-wife Jane Fonda. CNN founder Ted Turner tells the network he's "encouraged" by the results of last week's election. Turner is promoting a new autobiography, "Call Me Ted" (Warner Books), which documents his life, loves, successes and failures. Probably best known for his 1980 launch of CNN, the first 24-hour all-news cable network, Turner has also made news as a philanthropist and supporter of the United Nations. He won the America's Cup of yachting in 1977, and owned the Atlanta Braves when they won the World Series in 1995.

Earlier this year, the @placeholder government recognized this potential by announcing a series of incentives aimed at attracting large-budget productions to help create jobs, generate revenues and encourage tourism. | (CNN) -- Last February, tens of thousands of moviegoers stormed cinemas around the United States to watch "Chronicle," turning the superhero thriller into a surprise hit that topped the U.S. box office on Super Bowl weekend. The film, which follows the adventures of three American teenage boys who acquire superpowers, made $22 million that weekend alone -- traditionally considered one of the slowest weekends for the U.S. movie industry. Although set in Seattle, "Chronicle's" producers decided to shoot in South Africa, lured by the country's low production costs and growing reputation as an attractive destination for international filmmaking. The move paid off as the film, with production costs of just $12 million, turned out to be a big winner for 20th Century Fox. "Chronicle" exceeded industry expectations by piling up an impressive $126 million in global cinema ticket sales, according to Box Office Mojo.

It's difficult to say what is more astonishing: the double standards exhibited by the White House, or the apparent total lack of self-awareness of U.S. officials. Secretary of State John Kerry risked utter ridicule when he declared it unacceptable to invade another country on a "completely trumped-up pretext," or just because you don't like its current leadership.

A @placeholder special legislative committee dominated by New Jersey lawmakers is running its own probe. | By David Martosko, U.s. Political Editor Embattled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie kept his presidential hopes alive on Friday with an hour-long press conference that saw him tussling with journalists while insisting that his hands were clean in the 'Bridgegate' fiasco. 'The fact of the matter is I had nothing to do with this, as I said from the beginning,' he said of a September 2013 plot to close down on-ramp lanes to the George Washington Bridge as political payback for a Democratic mayor who failed to endorse his re-election effort. 'In the long sweep of things,' he predicted coyly, 'any voters, if they consider this issue at all, in considering my candidacy – if there ever is one at all – I’ve got a feeling it'll be a small element of it, if any element at all,' said Christie.

But @placeholder has revealed a surprising number of features which the world's most successful school systems share and from which others can learn. | In a global economy, the benchmark for educational success is no longer improvement by national standards alone, but the best performing school systems internationally. Results from the latest PISA assessment, the world's metric for evaluating learning outcomes at school, show amazing changes in the composition of the global talent pool. Shanghai, already the top-performing education system in 2009, has extended its lead in students' math performance over the next highest performer, Singapore, to the equivalent of a full school year. And that was at a time when Singapore, too, saw rapid progress. Other East Asian systems, including Chinese Taipei and Japan, also saw improved student learning outcomes. PISA -- the Programme for International Student Assessment -- was conducted in 2012, a year when many of the 65 participating countries were grappling with the aftermath of an economic crisis that has brought home the urgency of equipping more people with better skills to collaborate, compete and connect in ways that drive economies forward.

They were uttered by Bryan Cranston's corrupt meth kingpin after his brother-in-law, DEA agent Hank, tells him he doesn't even know who Walt is anymore. Walt's advice? In that case, "tread lightly."

The fourth season averaged about 2.4 million viewers, including DVR playback. "Mad Men's" first season averaged about 925,000 viewers. "Mad Men's" production was delayed due to a protracted renewal negotiation between the show's creator Matthew Weiner, studio Lionsgate and network AMC. Was it worth the wait? EW's Ken Tucker wrote: "'Mad Men' got off to a very slow start on Sunday night, as though daring you to become absorbed in it again, but as the two hours proceeded, the show launched at least four rather magnificent set-piece scenes that remind you not just how good the series can be, but also how different it is from anything else TV has seen..." click here to read the rest.

"I'm sure that @placeholder thinks it's putting an impossible burden on him to really nail Harry down to the floor when his future is uncertain," she said. | LONDON, England (CNN) -- Prince Harry, the red-headed younger son of Britain's Prince Charles and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, is back in the headlines after a British tabloid posted a home video of him using an offensive term to describe an Army colleague. Prince Harry's behavior landed him on the front pages of British newspapers. Some of those who have watched him closely through the years see a pattern which they blame on royal destiny rather than racism or ignorance. The video, much of it apparently shot by the prince himself in 2006, led to predictable howls of condemnation, not least from the sensation-seeking newspaper that published it.

@placeholder, who has a degree in Islamic studies, apparently joined the insurgency that erupted in Iraq soon after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. | The Islamist militia which today took a second major city in Iraq and is turning its eyes south towards the capital Baghdad is so ruthless and extreme that even al-Qaeda has cut ties and distances itself from them. The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as Isis), used to be part of the international terror network, but was cast out in February this year in light of its violent behaviour towards rival jihadist groups. It is famed - and feared - for spreading hardline Islamic law to the areas it subdues. Transgressors are sentenced to death and swiftly executed in public, their bodies left to decay in the streets.

@placeholder, who was talking of the Premier League title after the 4-0 win over QPR, must have believed it might be a reality after his side's superb opening. | (CNN) -- Last weekend Louis Van Gaal was hailing the beginning of a "new era" at Manchester United after a rout of QPR. Sunday saw a sobering reality check for the Dutchman and his expensively-assembled "galacticos" as the English Premier League powerhouses surrendered a 3-1 lead to lose 5-3 to newly-promoted Leicester City. It had looked an improbable scenario at the King Power Stadium as United's attacking prowess was on full display with Radamel Falcao setting up Robin van Persie for a headed opener before record signing Angel Di Maria made it 2-0 with a delightful chip. The first danger signs came after Leicester's new talisman Leonardo Ulloa headed home to reduce the deficit, but when another United summer signing Ander Herrera re-opened the two-goal with a clever back heel, the three points were there for the taking.

About 70% of this population will be Mexican or @placeholder-American. | San Diego, Calif. (CNN) -- Twenty years ago, an editor at the Los Angeles Times told me the newspaper had changed the way it reported on Mexico. "Now we cover it as a local story," he said. Why not? There are more Mexicans living in Los Angeles than in any other city in the world except for Mexico City. From one end of the Golden State to another, Hispanics are a natural part of the cultural landscape. Mexican restaurants that are anything but exceptional don't stay open long because the competition is too stiff. Cities, counties, streets and subdivisions are named after Catholic saints. You hear Spanish in the air, and no longer question why that is. Most weekends, in many cities, there is a Mexican-style festival with food and music. Mariachis and margaritas are always on the menu.

Who is a citizen is today determined by his or her @placeholder personhood. | (CNN) -- Sensible immigration reform will strengthen American society and economy. But it must also respect the rights of U.S. citizens and those aspiring to join them. Buried in the comprehensive immigration reform legislation before the Senate are obscure provisions that impose on Americans expansive national identification systems, tied to electronic verification schemes. Under the guise of "reform," these trample fundamental rights and freedoms. Requirements in Senate Bill 744 for mandatory worker IDs and electronic verification remove the right of citizens to take employment and "give" it back as a privilege only when proper proof is presented and the government agrees. Such systems are inimical to a free society and are costly to the economy and treasury.
