Heather Mills reportedly is happy with the $50 million
settlement she has been awarded as part of her divorce
from British rock 'n' roll great Paul McCartney.
The judge awarded Mills a lump sum of $33 million and nearly
$16 million in assets. McCartney will also pay for their
daughter's nanny and education, while 4-year-old Beatrice
will get about $70,000 a year, as well, the BBC said.
McCartney and Mills were married for four years and split
up in 2006.
The couple was not able to reach a divorce settlement last
month, so a decision regarding the division of their assets
was made by a London High Court judge.
The divorce hearings were held in private. A representative
for McCartney, who is said to be worth about $1.6 billion,
told the BBC the former Beatle will not be commenting on
the settlement.
However, Mills said she is "glad it's over" and "very, very
happy with the decision." "It was an incredible result to
secure mine and my daughter's future," the BBC quoted Mills
as saying outside of the court Monday.
What are your thoughts on Heather Mills' divorce settlement?

Angler, trout get reacquainted
A Wyoming Game and Fish biologist says the lake trout he
caught recently may have been one he stocked 25 years ago.
Bill Wengert said he was fishing in southwest Wyoming's
Flaming Gorge Reservoir when he reeled in the 2.5-pound,
23-inch Mackinaw, the Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune reported
Monday. Wengert said he researched the markings on the
fish and discovered he may have been present when the fish
was released into the reservoir in April 1983. "I may have
actually clipped the fins on this very fish and I know I
was driving the barge when the fish were stocked, nearly
25 years ago," he said. He said the fish's relatively small
size belied its age -- similarly aged catch made in 2004
measured 35 inches and weighed in 17.1 pounds. "I have
looked at thousands of fish in my career and I never would
have guessed that fish was so old," he said. Wengert said
the fish will provide researchers with "an opportunity to
learn more about fish genetics, age and growth of lake
trout in the reservoir."

Chicken gets radiation therapy for cancer
Eve, a pet chicken in England, is believed to be the first
hen in Britain to receive radiation therapy to treat her
cancer. Elaine and Chris Denney of Hatfield Norton said
they decided to pay the more than $2,000 for the treatment
after Eve lost a leg to cancer, The Sun reported Monday.
"We would do this for any of our 15 chickens," Elaine
Denney said. The treatment was administered Friday at the

Cheney says troops' work is inspirational
U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney told troops Tuesday at
Balad Air Base in Iraq that their work was inspirational,
appreciated and never taken for granted. Cheney noted five
years ago this week "we led a coalition to liberate this
country from tyranny," promising the United States would
stand by the Iraqis as "they built free institutions and
took charge of their own destiny once again." Balad, one
of the largest U.S. bases in Iraq, is the main staging area
for logistical operations. "I want you to know that we
appreciate you and your comrades, that we never take you
for granted, that we're inspired by the tremendous work
you've done on this deployment," Cheney told the troops.
"We've given you a lot of work to do and at often times a
very small amount of time in which to do it." Last year's
surge in combat troops has yielded results, he said, in
more effective raids to flush out extremists, better
intelligence from local citizens and higher hopes for
the future. "(The) more that Iraqis have gotten to know
Americans ... the better they've felt about the United
States of America," Cheney said.

What are your thoughts on McCain being able to beat Obama
in the election?
"The failed state of the American economy will be McCains
doomed bid for the Whitehouse.Everyone knows how the GOP
political machine led by K. Rove operates.However the
Dubya Bush Clone , McCain can't with stand the facts before
the voting public today of failures for 7 years from the
present GOP administration.The DEM party could run Micky
Mouse and get the Whitehouse in 2008.People can see the
Easter Bunny Bush doing what he's done best for 7+ years;
screwing the American Tax payer and Worker and multiplying
his Failures as a sworn leader of this country.Even the
age old tried tricks of the GOP in paying and funding
Independents such as Ross Perott to try and swing votes
won't work in this years election..McCain will not beat
Clinton or Obama for the Whitehouse."
EM, MI
"McCain threat is where the US is now and the failure of the
Rep. party."
"I'm from Texas and I crossed over, I guess. I'm an
independent who usually vote conservative. My reasons for
doing so were not because I felt Hillary is more beatable
but because I have a real problem with this up-start,
Husain Obama. I guess I didn't vote for Hillary but against
Obama. And now it is coming out about him attending this
Hitler in reverse church and lying about knowing this
bigoted, American hating, preacher's views, I'm glad I did."
