- I have learned so much about Broadband in europe since I began networking with tiscali. It is such a liberating feeling to help bring Broadband to europe working alongside such a great company. It has also changed my life to work with so many wonderful people in such a fast growing industry. For example the Broadband market in Europe is on the average below %7 and in the US it is over %70, acording to oftel 35,000 people a week are signing up to one service or another every month in the UK. This is staggering as far as a product goes and it is only the begining. |

- In some positive news today, the Government did obey the order by the Venezuelan Supreme Court for military personnel to abandon the headquarters of the Metropolitan police late last night, a few hours after the deadline. As usual, the Government pushes forward and takes a step back. This is good, but we are still living uncertain times. |

surf movie (Oct 10 2003 23:16 GMT) - Gooday friends in Australia and around the world I am in San Diego California and today I went and saw the new surf movie by Dana Brown (the son of Bruce Brown of "Endless Summer" fame}. The movie is called "Step into liquid" and all I can say is that it's well worth going to see. The film is excellent, the photography is superb and the stories are great. I was especially stoked as I personally know many of the surfers featured. Just wanted to share that with you. |

- Congressmen Richard Gephardt (D-MO) and Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) have co-sponsored H.R. 2038, a bill that will renew and strengthen the federal assault weapons ban. Their support comes one year after the DC-area sniper attacks, which killed 10 and wounded three others. The legislation would stop the gun industry from manufacturing and marketing all assault weapons, including the snipers' Bushmaster XM15 assault rifle. |

- After years of fending off lawsuits, firearms makers appear close to getting Congress to protect them from lawsuits seeking to bankrupt them by make them pay damages for gun crimes. Sen. Larry E. Craig, Idaho Republican, has 44 Republican co-sponsors for his bill to immunize gun manufacturers and distributors from lawsuits arising out of the use of guns in crimes. Despite a threatened filibuster by some Democrats, the bill also has the support of 10 Democrats, among them Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota, who is up for re-election in 2004. |

- A St. Louis circuit judge has begun deliberating on whether Missouri's law allowing qualified residents to carry concealed guns should go into effect on Saturday. Judge Steven Ohmer heard initial arguments in the case Thursday and heard more testimony today. The lawsuit claims that the law is unconstitutional. No matter what Ohmer decides, it is sure to be appealed to the Missouri Supreme Court, lawyers for both sides said. |

- Gun-control enthusiasts in the United States and western Europe have a lot to answer for on the heels of two reports last week that prove, beyond a doubt, the barbaric lunacy of ensuring citizens are defenseless against armed criminal threats. In the first, a British paper reported authorities have seen a 35 percent increase in gun violence in 2002 – not so ironically, in the sixth year since Parliament passed a law banning personal ownership of most firearms. So bad is the violence now that police say it has 'spread like a cancer' across the whole of the country, the Observer reported. To put the level of violence in perspective, more British subjects are dying from gun violence now than before idiots in Parliament banned virtually all firearms. |

- In November 1988, The New England Journal of Medicine published a study that noted Seattle's homicide rate was higher than Vancouver's and attributed the difference to stricter gun control in Vancouver. Although the study had serious flaws, including the failure to take into account important demographic differences between the two cities, it received generous coverage in two major newspapers known for their sympathy to gun control. The Washington Post covered the report in a 600-word, staff-written story on page A4 under the headline 'Impact of Gun Control Indicated in Medical Study.' The New York Times story ('Gun Curbs Linked to Homicide Rate') was about the same length, although it was by a stringer and appeared deeper in the A section. |

- In the final weeks before his ouster, Davis used what dwindling power he had to hamstring California's legal and political system for years to come. He made over 260 last-minute judicial and state commission appointments. Davis also quietly signed into law one of the most far-reaching handgun bans in the nation on Sept. 24 – a law which threatens to send many California police officers to their graves. Police and sheriffs all over the state pleaded with Gov. |

- The Portland Business Journal notes that the Pauling Institute has recieved funding from the NIH to study the molecular basis of the aging process. All funding is welcome, but we should remember that this is a small award in the grand scheme of things. Very little funding goes to aging and healthy life extension research, and this situation has to be improved. Without more funding, real anti-aging therapies are likely to arrive too late to help you and I. The way to change the funding picture is activism and education: |
