Social Security Benefits for the Divorced - Yahoo! News
Social Security Benefits for the Divorced - Yahoo! News: "Why 'Independently Entitled Divorced Spouse' Benefits?
The benefit made sense in our world with its high divorce rate. With a divorce rate more than 50 percent , the chances are one out of two that a woman will be retiring without the company of the man she married. That was the case with Ellen.
Ellen had married, raised children, held a job for many years and was now considering early retirement at age 62. After divorcing, Ellen had made the decision not to remarry."

Regime Change is Unstated Goal of Libya Air Attacks - Yahoo! News
Regime Change is Unstated Goal of Libya Air Attacks - Yahoo! News: "Instead of the devastating impact of Tomahawk cruise missiles, the Arab League perhaps believed the missiles would drop leaflets admonishing Gadhafi to behave.
Gadhafi is described as an evil man but a better description of the Libyan dictator may be that of 'evil genius.' Gadhafi has signaled a strategy which, unless he is directly hit in a bomb strike, would resonate with a public rapidly losing confidence in President Obama.
'We promise you a long war,' said Gadhafi."

Social Security Benefits for the Divorced - Yahoo! News
Social Security Benefits for the Divorced - Yahoo! NewsBaby boomers are retiring in record numbers, often due to worries about today's economy. A former co-worker told me recently she'd gotten a surprise during her pre-retirement interview at her local Social Security office.
She was told she was entitled to a Social Security benefit called "Independently Entitled Divorced Spouse." Ellen was therefore presented with the choice of filing under her own record or that of her ex-husband.

NPR -- Radioactive, Unplugged - Yahoo! News
NPR -- Radioactive, Unplugged - Yahoo! NewsCOMMENTARY | NPR's Vivian Schiller is not likely to follow Juan Williams, the man she fired, to a broadcast job at Fox News. Neither will Ron Schiller, in the starring role of a Project Veritas video, as he perpetuates the libel of Jewish media control.
Vivian Schiller resigned as NPR chief after a videotaped meeting in which Senior Vice-President Ron Schiller (no relation) made embarrassing and prejudicial remarks to two men posing as potential Muslim contributors.
In the video, Ron Schiller disparages the Tea Party, Christians, "weird" Evangelicals, and "white, middle-America gun-toting racists." Ron Schiller was nonplussed as the Muslim poseurs engaged him in a clichéd and bigoted characterization of a Tea Party dominated by fanatics and a U.S. media "controlled by Jews" and "Zionists."
Ron Schiller may be a hard man to find. It was initially announced that he planned to leave NPR to work for the Aspen Institute , a liberal advocacy organization with a Palestinian agenda. But now the Aspen Institute has obliterated what used to be a statement announcing the Schiller hiring, and replaced it with one saying he won't be working there.
Yahoo News obtained a copy of the original press release announcing the Ron Schiller hiring. Perhaps the shared values of Aspen Institute CEO Walter Isaacson mentioned in the press releases weren't the right values, after all.

Pennsylvania Celebrates 330rd Birthday - Yahoo! News
Pennsylvania Celebrates 330rd Birthday - Yahoo! News: "The Walking Purchase dispute stemmed from the land deed that William Penn had arranged with the Indians in 1683. Considering that the land was wilderness, seemingly without beginning or end, the terms of that deed were loosely drawn and vague.
* The Indian chiefs who made the original deal with Penn had specified only that they were selling an amount of land marked by a 'walk of a day and a half' from a point near present Wrightstown, Pa. Due to that vagary, the actual size of the plot had been in dispute for many years."

We liberal arts and English majors shrug our shoulders and talk to each other in frightened, shrill tones, admitting to each other that, like scientific bigots, 'they all look alike.'"

Yishai cried: Where's daddy? I want my daddy - Israel News, Ynetnews
Yishai cried: Where's daddy? I want my daddy - Israel News, Ynetnews: "'The little boy was crying: 'Where's my daddy? Where's daddy? I want my daddy.' I changed his clothes, he was tired, and I cleaned the blood off his legs,' the Fogel family's neighbor told Ynet, recalling the events of Friday night. Late that night terrorists murdered father Udi (36), mother Ruth (35) and their children Yoav (11), Elad (4), and Hadas (three months). The couple's three other children – Tamar (12), Roi (8) and Yishai (2.5), survived the hellish attack."

front lines: Hamas ordered five Israelis murdered following secret Islamist Khartoum parley
front lines: Hamas ordered five Israelis murdered following secret Islamist Khartoum parley: "Palestinian Hamas websites quickly hailed the murder of a mother, father and three of their children, aged, 11, three and a baby of a month, whose throats were slashed in their sleep at Itamar, south of Nablus Friday night, March 11 as 'a heroic operation.' The escape of at least two Palestinian killers long before the alarm was sounded after midnight was eased by the dismantling of most Israeli security checkpoints on the West Bank and slow military vigilance."

International Response on Libya Varies; French Take High Moral Ground - Yahoo! News
International Response on Libya Varies; French Take High Moral Ground - Yahoo! News: "German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle:
'There is no further cooperation with Gadhafi possible. Sanctions must be broadened; more have to be decided, so that Gadhafi gets no fresh money to pay mercenaries that he uses against his own people.'
That's solid Teutonic thinking, except for the fact that Gadhafi doesn't need 'fresh money to pay mercenaries.' He's reported to have plenty of cash in his own coffers. One source says Gadhafi controls $32 billion in liquid assets, and was not dumb enough to trust Bernard Madoff. Not all of Gadhafi's assets are frozen , and he'd recently made weapons and fighter jet deals with the Russians."
