Bad knees and all, siblings take rivalry to triathlon levelS ome things never change, like sibling rivalry. Now gray and middle-aged, we still revert back to the parlance of our youth: "You cannot do it!" "Can, too!" Can not!" Can, too!"If the baby of the family was marking his 50th birthday by signing up for a triathlon in Chicago, then by gum, his 52-year-old sister (that would be me) was crazy enough to register, too. And once our equally deranged 55-year-old brother heard his little brother and sister were committed to the Olympic challenge, well, what makes you think a 6-foot-4, 250-pound bear of a man with on-the-brink knees couldn't compete in a 1-mile swim, 26-mile bike ride and 6.2-mile run? So there! You wanna bet? Suffice it to say, if only my little brother hadn't turned 50 and forced us to prove that age is just a mindset, we might have saved a lot of blood, sweat and tears, and I mean that literally.

Pennsylvania Pep Rally Leads to LawsuitPENNSYLVANIA – As reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "The Rev. James Simms, head of a community group created to push for a casino and new arena in the Lower Hill, has been sued by a man who says the minister backed out of a deal to pay public housing tenants $15 each to attend a casino pep rally."Tony Eaves of the Hill District says Mr. Simms agreed to pay $15 to every Bedford Dwellings tenant who attended an April 18 pep rally. The Downtown rally -- sponsored by Pittsburgh First, which is headed by Mr. Simms -- was organized to demonstrate the neighborhood's purported support for the redevelopment plan.
