The New York Times offers the most complete coverage of this story. As currently being considered, it would not be an outright sale. The complicated deal would net Yahoo about $17 billion in cash and allow it and its partners to avoid having to pay taxes on it. According to the Times, the terms of the deal involve Alibaba and Softbank (the major stakeholder in Yahoo Japan) setting up new subsidiaries consisting of both cash and operating assets which Yahoo wants to run.

Central Banks from Europe to Asia pumped billions in to the ailing US economy today, in a concerted effort to stem a falling Dow and failing US businesses. The US stock market rose 400 points on the news.

Apparently Banks in China, South Korea, Japan and the EU are involved. But they also include Russian as well as Arab institutions.
European and Asian economists and bankers privately are warning the US to get its economic house in order, and are hopeful that the next US president will tighten lending regulations and reign in risky US business practices.
So did the World just bail us out? I thought the world hated us, or do they just hate Bush?
Do we now owe the world a favor?
More details emerging on the “US bailout”. Apparently the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Bank of Canada have also made cash reserves available to stem a US economic downfall.
Thanks Hong Kong and Canada!
Central Banks in Australia and India also pumped tens of billions more into money markets as part of the effort to stem the failing US economy.
See the world can unite against a common enemy….economic collapse of the US.

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map as Washington and its allies watched for signs the regime will launch a series of missiles in the coming days.

Now I asked a lot of questions around an in depth plot published by an Asian new source — which described a 4 stage plan using crude and low tech (no missles) nuclear bombs in which N Korea intended to destroy the US —
I posted it — and I posted it — And all I got for a reaction was — AMERICA is number one — We could take on the world blind folded one hand – Ya baby USA
Well ?
Now that N Korea has offered to liberate you all from you’re earthly existence
What are you’re thoughts and or reactions ?

Not one person has expressed an interest in what this published plan — using crude techniques could be ?
N Korea is belligerent — they are looking for a fight — and they do believe they can win
This is not a bluff — they want a war — they believe they have a plan that will wipe the US off the face of the globe
And not one of you has asked what that published plan might be ?
Interesting
Okay I have a horrible mother and I just can’t stand her anymore. I know most Western teenagers can be a handful as they sneak out, throw parties etc, but I’m quite Asian and I don’t do all that. I do admit that I have a temper and can be a bit rude but that’s it. *Please don’t suggest talking to her about it and all coz that’s really awkward*
She calls me fat and ugly EVERYDAY I just can’t stand it. full story here : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As96jvYGa43CyLug7y6ntFTty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20110816054050AANMl42
She also hits me ( this is quite common in Asia ) Today for example, she went to work and I was home alone. There was nothing to eat at home, so I saw this jar of biscuits which i thought my father had bought ( he buys stuff for my sis and I every month ) so I opened it and ate a few. When she came home, it turned out she had bought those for Deepavali and she smacked me repeatedly and kept taunting be about being fat. My parents are divorced and my sis and I are living with my mum. I prefer my dad of course but I’m trying to get into acting and we moved to the capital, which is the place to go if you want to break into the local entertainment . I’m 15 btw. I have a short temper and I really CANNOT stand children or animals and my two dogs drive me up the wall. Everytime they bark I get headaches and I yell at them. She yells at me for yelling at the dogs and threatens to kick me out over small matters like this. She said she is gonna send me to live with my dad. I don’t want to go back to the small town as the other time I’ll return to the capital is when I’m 18 to go to college and I’m afraid my chances will be too slim by then ( they don’t even have acting classes in the small town ) I’ve always done well in school and I have many friends but I really can’t stand my mum’s side relatives, they’re all shallow bimbos who only talk about clothes, etc. When I don’t want to attend relatives’ functions, she threatens to kick me out too. If only I were 18, I’d definitely move out, it’s not like I’m dying to live with her or sth.
Another thing, I really want to cut myself off from her as much as I can, so I’ve told my sister and her I don’t want birthday gifts from them anymore and I too, will stop buying for them. They seem to go along with it but I’m afraid if I really don’t get my mum a gift for her birthday she’ll kick me out. I just want to spend my birthday in my room alone. Every year it’s the same ****** up Christmas ( I’m born 25th Dec ) I think she’s gona try and take us out for dinner with her damn boyfriend who I don’t give a **** about. I bet if I refuse to go she’ll threaten to kick me out WTF . She’s also a crazy control freak. When I was 12 I used to go for Spelling Bees and I won two of them. When I was 13 I entered again but I lost and she kept saying my brain cells have decreased etc. By the time I was 14 I was totally done with Spelling Bees as I wasn’t interested anymore and she was like ‘ YOU’RE SO STUPID FOR NOT ENTERING WHY YOU’RE SCARED YOU’LL LOSE IS IT ? ‘ Crazy *****.
