YOUR WEEKLY ONLINE GUIDE Staff Sunday, October 22, 2000 BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY Work Family Tips: Can someone please petition the government for more parents per family? We need more bodies because it's practically impossible to get out of work on time, take the kids to practice and music lessons, cook dinner and have a meaningful evening as a family unit. This site lets parents share tips on balancing work and family life --- in English and French. > www.workfamilytips.com Kids Money Cents: Decades ago, kids were singing, ''I've got a brand-new pair of roller skates. You've got a brand-new key.'' Now it's, ''I'm going public after recess, you're leveraging a buyout of the monkey bars.'' For the future Gordon Gekkos of the world, this site offers a journey through the world of money, including ways to earn, save, invest and spend money wisely. > www.kidsmoneycents.com Rival Watch: Too busy keeping an eye on your own online business to watch what your competitors are doing on the Web? This site takes care of that for you --- for a fee. For example, if you're selling audio equipment online and a competitor, say ''Sue's Stereorama.com,'' lowers its price on a product, Rival Watch tracks this and alerts you in time to make a countermove. > www.rivalwatch.com Tidbits Electronic Publishing: Just when we thought every play on the computer terms ''bits'' and ''bytes'' had been done, we tripped across this site. Ha-ha. Anyway, this is a free e-mail and Web publication covering the Macintosh Internet community. It also has message boards. Up next: Kibbles and Bytes? > www.tidbits.com Global Investor: A useful resource for international investors, the site includes currency information, a list of online brokers in various countries, streaming video, online training and a conference database. > www.global-investor.com Wired Guy: Is it just us, or do personal digital assistants remind you of those games you'd get as a kid where you had to draw a beard on a cartoon face with metal shavings by using a magnetic pen? For something less confusing, check out Wired Guy's tips, downloads and news about PDAs. > www.wiredguy.com Tour States: Whether you're in the tourism industry or just planning a trip, Tour States provides links to the official tourism Web sites for the 50 states, American Samoa, Guam, Marianas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. > www.tourstates.com iMahal: One of the keys to Web success lately is specialization of services. The iMahal portal is geared toward natives of India who want to receive higher education in the United States and/or start careers here. > www.iMahal.com Web Radio Now: Love this name, as opposed to Web Radio ... When We Get Around To It. Good thing it's useful, with scads of links to radio stations that can be listened to by using audio-streaming software. > www.webradionow.com Wall Street & Technology: Forget this site; we can tell you everything you need to know about how Wall Street feels about tech stocks in one word: SELL!!! For a more detailed analysis of information technology developments for the securities and investment markets, give this site a look-see. > www.wallstreetandtech.com American Estate Planning Attorney Directory: You can't take it with you, but you can make sure your money goes where you want it to after you take the big dirt nap. This directory provides information about legal wills, living trusts. > www.estateplanningattorneyatwills.com Coffee Man: Every so often, a corporate entity captivates some human's consciousness and redirects that life along a unique and disturbing path. This site is an example. Coffee Man has dedicated his life to visiting every location of an international coffee chain and making a Web site about it. When you think about it, it's not that big of a task, considering all the caffeine he's ingested. > home.flash.net/~winter/starbucks/ FOOTBALL HANGOUTS National Football League: Surfing for football information without checking here is like going to Darwin, Minn., and not seeing the world's largest ball of twine. The NFL has pumped up the content, with lots to download and listen to, including more than 100 NFL Films highlight clips each week and Web broadcasts of almost every game. > www.nfl.com Dallas Cowboys Travel: Few teams enjoy the loyalty and passion the Dallas Cowboys do. Fans will go anywhere to shout, ''How 'bout them Cowboys!!!'' at the top of their lungs. This agency will book your lodging and transportation anywhere, anytime the team plays. > www.dallas-cowboys-travel.com Who's The Greatest Running Back? Forget Jim Brown, Walter Payton or Larry Csonka. Pound for pound, Curly from the Three Stooges was the greatest running back to suit up. Alas, he's not one of the candidates on this survey, which aims to answer the question once and for all. > www.csc.vill.edu/~larubbio/survey/survey.html Pro Football Insider: This site is a must for anyone who eats and breathes the game. Even better, this compendium of football news and gossip can be received by e-mail daily. > nfl.profootballinsider.net Football Fix: Going beyond the stats and game recaps, this categorized directory can take you to professional and college team pages, online shopping sites and news. Plus, it's well-organized. > www.footballfix.com The Sports Cliche List: Football cliches? You've gotta read them one at a time, but if you give 110 percent, maintain your focus and keep your eye on the ball, you'll put yourself in a position to win, the good Lord willing. For those whose words fail them at all the wrong times, the Sports Cliche List offers its searchable directory of things heard during player and coach interviews, halftime analyses and radio commentaries. > www.sportscliche.com MaxFootball: Don't have time to sit in front of the computer watching audio and video clips of college and pro football action? Get it to go from Max Football, where you can download for later viewing. The site is part of the Max Broadcasting Network, which delivers on-demand online video and audio programming for the fields of sports and entertainment. Now get back to work. > www.maxfootball.com Sports Jones: Favoring the cerebral brand of sports journalism fostered by Sports Illustrated --- without perverting it by trying to sell you a sneaker phone --- Sports Jones, a daily online sports magazine, offers everything from book reviews to a profile on the woman who sued Duke University after she failed to win a spot on the football team as a placekicker. > www.sportsjones.com Long Snap: There are sports fans, and then there are sports fans who appreciate every subtle nuance. Like the folks at Long Snap, who elevate hiking a football into some sort of existential act. Maintained by attorney and sports agent Kevin Gold of Harrisburg, Pa., this site seeks to become the premier source for long-snapping information. And the only source, we hope. NFL Referee Web Site: Yeah. Sure. Refs need glorification. This site covers crew listings, biographies, rules and signal definitions. (And no, there's no official sign for ''givin' him the business.'') > members.tripod.com/refereestats/index.htm PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES Commission on Presidential Debates: Transcripts, links to debate chat and a history of political debates going back to Lincoln-Douglas are here at the Web site of the debate organizers. > www.debates.org C-Span.Org: Catch up on the debates by watching the reruns here. The best viewing, however, may be in the archives, which feature debate footage from the 1984 meetings of Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale; the 1992 series with the elder George Bush, President Clinton and Ross Perot; and the memorable 1988 match between vice presidential candidates Lloyd Bentsen and Dan Quayle. C-Span is also covering debates for Senate, House and gubernatorial races. > www.cspan.org/special/debates.asp
