Yahoo Sports Close to Acquiring Rivals.com
Yahoo is close to acquiring college sports network rivals.com, its biggest sports acquisition since Broadcast.com, reports paidContent.org.

23 more beams in Convention Center on SEA's radar
The Sports & Exhibition Authority wants to shore up 23 more steel beams in the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in the same way it fixed 26 connections after a February beam collapse, officials said Thursday. The city-county agency's proposal is announced as county Chief Executive Dan Onorato has backed away from his intention to form an investigative team to determine who is responsible for the Feb. 5 collapse and a 2005 beam failure nearby. The authority initially planned to install equipment to monitor beam shifts caused by temperature changes. Modifying the 23 beams might be less costly, said agency Executive Director Mary Conturo. "What our engineers are doing right now is putting together a plan to possibly put beam seats on all of them," Conturo said. "We might do that instead of doing the monitoring." .
