Hi Dave
Here is another source

"Google News search results feeds: You can also get a feed for any search you do on Google News. First do any search on Google News, then simply use the Atom or RSS link on the left-hand side of your search results page to generate the feed.

Customized news feeds: You can create a feed of a customized news page (note: for now, this applies only to English language sections), simply by creating a customized news page, and then using the Atom or RSS link on the left-hand side of the page to generate the feed."

Same terms

Here are my two favorite RSS feed tricks.

Del.icio.us - first, each tag produces a feed, second, each tag under your account produces a feed.  I use my 'custom' del.icio.us feed all the time.  For instance, my feed for Adirondack News comes from http://del.icio.us/yubondow/adknews - this feed can be instantly used to show articles I feel are on topic.  Also, by tagging these items, it helps proliferate it in the various networks.  Take it a step further with the link rolls feature and you can have custom content anywhere on your website.  To use simply tag a page, article, or site and it appears in that tag's feed.  Plus!! You can custom name and include descriptions of anything you tagand you can delete items.  Don't forget the Firefox extension.   Too cool. (I feel a bit naked showing my del.icio.us, yikes)

FeedDigest - Collect your feed and output it in five ways:     HTML, JavaScript, RSS, Atom, WML/WAP.  Most powerful, you can aggregate feeds and make it into one custom feed.  Best feature is the ability to convert the feed into the various formats to use or distribute.

With these tools you can easily display exactly what you want, when you want, and where you want it.  You are in control of the content.

I can see the concern about the Yahoo News and attribution.  Using Del.icio.us, and to a certain extent FeedDigest, you are the one selecting items so I guess that's fair game.  I say Yahoo should be responsible for itself.  It is easy enough to add "from Yahoo News" to the end of each item or something.  Yahoo should be glad someone finds their feed worthy of display.  Most of the time I find news feeds, depending on the search term, are either too broad or doesn't capture enough.
