THE STEEL DEAL

WHERE We Get Our NEWS

                    Most get news from broadcasters

ROCHESTER, N.Y., (UPI) -- Seventy-seven percent of U.S. adults watch local broadcast news, while 71 percent watch network news, compared to 18 percent who read a national newspaper.

A Harris Interactive poll of 2,985 U.S. adults also found 64 percent get their news several times a week or daily by going online, while 63 percent read a local daily newspaper. Fifty-four percent listen to radio news broadcasts, 37 percent listen to talk radio and 19 percent listen to satellite news programming.

Those age 59 and older are most likely to rely on local broadcast news, network broadcast or cable news, or a local daily newspaper several times a week or daily for news.

Baby boomers and Gen Xers also watch broadcast news, listen to radio, read newspapers but also go online for news and listen to talk radio.

Generation Xers are most likely to get their news several times a week or daily from local broadcast stations (69 percent) or online sources (68 percent).

In there with the SPARE

               Ten crocodiles found in car trunk 

An animal welfare charity has recovered 10 crocodiles and a variety of poisonous reptiles from a car boot.

Backed by police, officers of the Ulster Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals stopped the car just outside Newry on Thursday.

The USPCA said the animals were all destined for sale in Northern Ireland.

Afterwards, more dangerous reptiles were taken from a house near Omagh during the investigation into the illegal trading of wild animals.

The Other Woman

         Mistress loses share of porn king's estate

TRENTON, N.J., (UPI) -- A New Jersey appeals court has ruled that a woman who bore two sons to a millionaire pornography publisher has no claim on his estate beyond a $100,000 bequest.

Lawyers for Annette McDonald argued that she should receive about $9 million -- 25 percent -- of the estate left by George Mavety, who died several years ago.

Lawyer George Daggett told the Newark Star-Ledger that he plans to appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.

"In the 1970s, this decision would have been more appropriate," Daggett said. "In 2006, when the guy is worth $36 million, I think you have to look at it differently, and I hope the Supreme Court will."

Mavety, a former teacher from Canada, made a fortune publishing magazines like "Leg Show." He married three times and was also involved in a number of extra-marital relationships.

In his will, he left McDonald $100,000 and said that she could continue to occupy a house he owned in Sparta until their surviving son turns 25. The son received $1.5 million and the house.

Mavety, who weighed 300 pounds, died of a heart attack in 2000 at the age of 63.

                               She got what she deserved.
