SURF ON YOUR OWN TIME: EMPLOYERS CRACK DOWN ON SPORTS SITES

          Organizations are increasingly "blocking or monitoring
     employees' access to Web sites considered to be
     unproductive, and sports sites rank near the top of that
     list," according to David Sweet of the WALL STREET JOURNAL. 
     Sweet writes that is "bad news for the two most popular Web
     sports sites, ESPN SportsZone and CBS SportsLine, which bank
     on bored workers scanning their pages."  SportsLine USA
     VP/Marketing Kenneth Dotson says about half of SportsLine's
     visitors use company networks, as "the site's peak time on
     weekdays is during work hours" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 7/7).
