| EnergySolutions Stops Bidding on $10 Billion UK Contract
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Salt Lake City-based EnergySolutions is no longer bidding for a five-year, $10 billion contract to run nuclear sites in the United Kingdom. Philip Strawbridge, EnergySolutions International group president, says the company needs to focus on its other U.K. business. The company is already bidding to manage the U.K.'s national repository of low-level radioactive waste and pursuing the decommissioning of U.K. reactor sites. Strawbridge says the company shouldn't lead all three efforts, but the decision doesn't diminish the company's global efforts. ------ Information from: Salt Lake Tribune www.sltrib.com (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press.

Glanmor bids to be WRU president
FORMER WRU chairman Glanmor Griffiths has launched a bid to return to the top of Welsh rugby by standing for president. Nominations for the prestigious post, which was left vacant by the death of Keith Rowlands last November, had to be in by yesterday. And the Western Mail can reveal that Griffiths has decided to enter the race. If he is successful, it would mark a return to the corridors of power for a man who was a dominant figure in Welsh rugby for the best part of two decades. Griffiths was WRU treasurer from 1985 to 2003 and then chairman from 1997 to 2003, during which time he was arguably the most powerful man in the game. .

Brewer twice as right
They gave him the royal treatment during our visit, and that's where I wanted him to go. "But he didn't click with those guys over there. He clicked with the guys at Florida. I'm glad I let him make his own decision because it couldn't have worked out any better." Glenda and several other friends and family members, including Corey's older brother, Jason Rogan, will be in Atlanta this weekend to see if the Gators can deflect all the Billy Donovan-to-Kentucky talk and defend their title. They face UCLA tonight in the second semifinal at the Georgia Dome. Georgetown and Ohio State meet in the first semifinal. "It was tough just because of the expectations, night in and night out everybody playing their best game against us," said Corey, who's averaging a team-high 15.8 points in NCAA Tournament play.
