One good reason to NOT join a gym
For all you de-motivated health/exercise folks (like me) this morning I heard a news report on CH 56 about an employee at Bally's Total Fitness in Cambridge, MA who was arrested for stealing gym members personal information and then selling it to terrorists.

Go Patriots
 
Patriots vs Steelers today at 12:30 est. for AFC championship.
Patriots quietly focus on winning this game. The Steeler trash talk with reporters makes copy but someone always ends up eating their words.

Blast rocks central Jerusalem. At least two people are killed and dozens injured after a suicide
bombing in Jerusalem, which Israel blames on Yasser Arafat. [BBC News: world]
iSay - It's clear Arafat is no longer in control of the PLA. Maybe he never was.

The paper is available in PDF form from their security white papers page. [80211b News]

Scientists develop cloning alternative. US scientists claim to have found an way to use gene cloning to
develop new treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's without using
human embryos. [BBC News: sci/tech]
iSay - Another step in a good direction. Cloning scares the hell out of me. Maybe I'm a product of scary sci/fi movies like The Blob, so what. This cloning, especially human cloning just smells bad. There are way to many negatives to the human race (new sicknesses, undesirable mutations, racial extinction, etc.) when this starts to be commercialized. We should stop all human cloning now.

Trouble ahead for broadband providers. Providing high-speed internet access at a competitive price could lead
to financial headaches for many companies. [BBC News: sci/tech]
iSay - There needs to be a level playing field and more competition. The telcos bias everyting in their favor. I doubt very much if this administration will do anything consumer friendly to help this along.

I've tried several different browsers with the same results. But what is confusing is the published public home page looks normal. It's only the internal weblog pages that have the problem.

The senseless killing of a man during a fist fight nets The Hockey Dad Killer 6 to 10 years. This out of control guy is in my area. I'll feel safer if he does the full 10.

A few quotes in memory of Rev. King:
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be."
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
All messages today have been posted and published without linking them to a specific category. Dave is testing new RSS that uses categories but it's not yet ready. When it is my use of Manila macros will likely change. 1/21/02; 9:20:48 AM by GS
OK! It Worked. Now I'll add some Manila macros for RSS news feeds. One problem is the new message carries the same name as the previous day. 1/21/02; 9:10:42 AM by GS
Here comes a test to see if on a new day this post from Gary Secondino's Radio Weblog will flip the iSeeiSay home page and create a new home page that contains this message. 1/21/02; 8:40:21 AM by GS

It's clear to me that the Music business companies manipulate and have no respect for their artist and now too the same feeling and actions for their customers. The artists and consumers need to get together without the established Music business.
