The Chinese Telecom internet security glitch where all of that DoD and other US government traffic was hijacked to go to China was due to a HUGE Internet security vulnerability in BGP. BGP basically formed the way that the Internet works and older protocols like BGP were built to get multiple, disparate parties to communicate...and they didn't worry about security back then (kind of like how there was no real security in the original 802.11). So, this type of security breach could easily happen again at any time:

The St. Louis Rams (professional football team) has licensed US Cellular's 700 MHz spectrum for the next 180 days.

Note to Lori: The Biggest Loser strike has ended--the crew members won the right to count their work hours towards their health insurance benefits. The union members have to work a minimum number of hours every 6 months to keep their health insurance coverage and before this they couldn't count their work hours on the Biggest Loser. Both trainers refused to cross the picket lines and both of them and the host were going to auction themselves on EBay and give that money for the people on strike:
