    Editor's Note:  Optenet recently published an Internet Trend Report 
                    regarding the increase of inappropriate content that 
                    places children and teens at risk, and tracks the 
                    increase in the number of Web sites dedicated to sexual 
                    abuse content, violence and racism. The report was based 
                    on information gathered with Optenet's unique traffic 
                    analysis and classification engine, which combines 
                    artificial intelligence with traditional content 
                    filtering technology. The analysis included the 
                    classification of over three million unique URLs 
                    worldwide and is available online at:
