Body of chess champion Fischer exhumed in Iceland-To claim 2million$.
One feels sad and nauseated at the crass hunger for money.Where were these people when he was alive?
If they decided not to have anything to do with him, why bother after hos death?
Even if he was wrong one should feel ashamed to touch his money after his death.
Some relatives, some relationships.
Story:;
(Reuters) – The body of former chess champion Bobby Fischer, who died in Iceland two years ago, has been exhumed to provide forensic evidence in a paternity suit, the police said on Monday.Iceland’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of the exhumation in mid-June, overturning the decision of a lower court to deny an earlier request.
In its ruling, the top court said tissue samples were needed to determine the paternity of Jinky Young, the Filipina daughter of Fischer’s former lover. Young provided a DNA sample last year during a trip to Iceland.
“This (exhumation) was performed this morning in accordance with the order from the Supreme Court,” said Olafur Helgi Kjartansson, chief of police in the southwestern town of Selfoss, where the chess champion was buried.
Fischer, who spent his last years as a fugitive from U.S. authorities because he defied international sanctions against the former Yugoslavia, spent time in the Philippines and Japan before moving to Iceland, where he was offered citizenship in the mid-2000s.
The former child prodigy became the United States’ only world chess champion by defeating Soviet masters, but refused to defend his title and relinquished it to the Soviet champion Anatoly Karpov in 1975.
His estate, estimated at around $2 million, has been the subject of a long-running inheritance dispute involving claims by a former wife, two nephews and the U.S. tax authorities.
Fischer died in Reykjavik at the age of 64 after an unspecified illness and was buried near the town of Selfoss, about 60 km (40 miles) east of Reykjavik, in 2008.

Story:
According to NPR, “In 2003, a survey of female veterans found that 30 percent said they were raped in the military. A 2004 study of veterans who were seeking help for post-traumatic stress disorder found that 71 percent of the women said they were sexually assaulted or raped while serving. And a 1995 study of female veterans of the Gulf and earlier wars, found that 90 percent had been sexually harassed.”The BBC recently reported on The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq by Helen Benedict. This book examines the extreme difficulties female soldiers have in serving abroad. Benedict interviewed several women in the military to get a deeper understanding of the issue, and some of their stories were real eye openers.

Thousands condemned to live in squalid care homes
Very sad.Leaving elderly to fend for themselves is very cruel, to say the least.What is happening to Family as an institution?
Partly the elders are responsible.In their quest for money and material benefits they have neglected children, leaving children in creches and in the care of nannies, with no parental warmth.No wonder they are getting paid in the same coin.
The children should realize that they shall also become old.
Unless crass materialism is shunned and human values are given priority ,Family as an institution will fail, subsequently the society as well.
Story:Thousands of frail and elderly people are living in care homes that fail to meet the most basic standards, a damning report reveals today.
In the most comprehensive assessment yet of homes in England, the new watchdog found that more than 10,000 people are living in squalid conditions and receiving inadequate care.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has threatened to close 400 homes unless they are improved immediately. It described a further 3,500 homes, where 70,000 people reside, as “adequate”, the second-lowest rating.
It criticised councils for sending people to the worst homes, apparently with little regard for their welfare. Local authorities foot the bill for about half the 440,000 care home residents.

CQC report in full
The report reignites fears that Britain is ill prepared to cope with an ageing population. The quality of residential care will be a major issue at next year’s general election, with both big parties vying to overhaul how care is paid for and to drive up standards.The commission names eight councils, including Surrey, Bromley and Southwark, which have been asked to explain to ministers why they provide such poor-quality care.
Last night Southwark described the new inspection regime as flawed and inaccurate and demanded a parliamentary inquiry into its methods.
The CQC has already been under fire this week for failing to spot trouble at a number of hospitals, including Basildon in Essex.
Although overall ratings for care homes have improved in the past 12 months, with more being rated excellent or good than a year ago, the CQC said that those rated poor were failing to provide the basics of care.
The inspections highlight concerns over staff supervision, health and safety, and the way that medication is handled. One in five homes failed to provide adequate activities and opportunities for residents to socialise.
