Internet Allows Sons To Rescue Mother
By The Associated Press
InformationWeekFri Nov 25, 4:04 PM ET

OSLO, Norway (AP)--A Web camera in a Norwegian artist's living room in
California allowed her sons in Norway and the Philippines to see that
she had collapsed and call for help, one of the sons said last week.

Karin Jordal, 69, collapsed Thursday in her living room in Pinon
Hills, California, and was motionless on a couch when her son Tore in
the Philippines checked in through the Internet.

"He tried to call her, and got no answer," Tore's brother, Ole Jordal,
said by telephone from the western Norway city of Bergen. "He had also
tried to call the police and ambulances (in California) but couldn't
get through."

Ole Jordal said his brother then called him in Norway, as he and his
wife, Tammy, originally from Long Island, New York, were having
breakfast.

"My wife is American and she knew exactly whom to call for help," he
said.  "It took five or 10 minutes for the ambulance personnel to
arrive."

He said the family was on the verge of tears when they watched on the
Web camera as ambulance personnel assisted their diabetic mother, who
is recovering in the Desert Valley Hospital in California.

"I thank that camera and my sons for my life," Karin Jordal told the
Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende by telephone from her hospital
bed. She has lived in the U.S. and Spain on and off for the past 15
years.

Ole Jordal said low blood sugar caused his mother's collapse, and that
she would be allowed to go home after a few days in the hospital. He
said the family set up Web cameras in their homes because of the high
cost of staying in touch by telephone when they live so far apart.

"But now I see the Internet as a way to save lives. It's also a
wonderful tool for people who live alone in some remote area, and
might need help," he said.

The mother had been unconscious for about two hours before her sons
checked in, so there was also an element of luck, since they only use
the camera a few times a week.

Subject: Firm Wants to Rid Net of Suffixes
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 11:16:18 -0600


By Lucas van Grinsven, European Technology Correspondent

A Dutch technology company has breathed life into a project to rid the
Internet of suffixes such as .com, and instead offer single names
which can be countries, company names or fantasy words.

Such a system, which enables countries, individuals and firms to have
a Web address which consists of a single name, offers flexibility and
is language and character independent.

"The plan is to offer names in any character set," said Erik Seeboldt,
managing director of Amsterdam-based UnifiedRoot.

UnifiedRoot offers practically unlimited numbers of suffixes, unlike
the short list of suffixes currently in use. Its offer is different
from other "alternative root" providers such as New.net which offers
to register names in front of a small range of new suffixes, such as
.club and .law.

"We've already had thousands of registrations in a single day," said
Seeboldt after the official opening of his 100-strong company which
has installed 13 Internet domain name system (DNS) root servers on
four continents.

Dutch airport Schiphol is one of the early customers. Registering a
name costs $1,000 plus an annual fee of $240. Companies can then
invent additional Web site addresses in front of their top-level
domain (TLD) name, such as flights.schiphol or parking.schiphol.

Critics argue alternative root companies such as UnifiedRoot introduce
ambiguity because they bring a new set of traffic rules to the Web
which are, certainly in the beginning, only recognized by a limited
number of computers around the world.

"Those who claim to be able to add new 'suffixes' or 'TLDs' are
generally pirates or con-men with something to sell," said Paul Vixie,
who sits in several committees of the California-based Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) with day-to-day
control of the Web, on his CircleID blog.

WELCOME

Others, however are more appreciative and welcoming.

"The existence of alternate roots, and the possibility of new ones,
provides a useful competitive check on ICANN," said Jon Weinberg, a
member of ICANNwatch which keeps a critical eye on ICANN.

ICANN is overseen by the U.S. Department of Commerce and operates the
root servers of the Internet which guide all Web traffic. The
organization also determines which top-level domains are recognized by
those root servers.

At the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society earlier
this month, many countries said they wanted to take part in the
governance of ICANN. But the United States would not give up control.

UnifiedRoot plans to take advantage of unhappiness about ICANN by
offering geographic locations for free to countries, regions and
cities.

If alternative root companies want their TLDs recognized by computers
around the world, they need to circumvent ICANN by pointing every
single Internet computer around the world to their own root servers --
which contain a copy of ICANN's root server plus the addition of
own-made TLDs.

A quicker way to change the settings in individual computers is by
closing deals with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) which can change
the settings for all their subscribers.

UnifiedRoot has already clinched deals with most ISPs in Turkey. ISP
Tiscali is also a UnifiedRoot client.

To avoid conflicts between TLDs from UnifiedRoot and ICANN, the Dutch
company will not register existing ICANN TLDs.

UnifiedRoot took over from a Dutch company called UNIDT which launched
the initial plan for TLDs last year, but which relied on a network of
root servers controlled by individuals. This made the network
vulnerable to manipulation or even criminal attack directing Internet
surfers to fake Web sites.

"The network has not been abused, but this was a mistake," said Marty
van Veluw, the founder and manager of UNIDT who sold his client base
and some other assets to UnifiedRoot.

"UnifiedRoot has understood that the network needs to be 100 percent
reliable, and they put a new one in place," he said.

Subject: Wed Site Offers Saddam Uniform For Sale
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 11:09:30 -0600


A U.S. auction house is trying to sell one of Saddam Hussein's
military uniforms online, calling it an "ultimate artefact" of the
U.S. war in Iraq.

Manion's International Auction House ( http://www.manions.com ) is
offering the olive green dress uniform, complete with Saddam's special
rank on its shoulder straps, at a starting price of $5,000 (2,915
pounds), but expects it to sell for much more.

"We have only seen one other Hussein uniform here at Manion's, and it
realized over $20,000 at auction," the auctioneer says on its Web
site.

The company says the uniform was obtained by a soldier in the
U.S. army's Third Infantry Division after American troops seized
Baghdad airport in April 2003.

According to the military orders governing U.S. forces in Iraq,
soldiers are forbidden from taking any artefacts or souvenirs from the
country except in very rare circumstances, a U.S. military spokeswoman
said on Saturday.

Manion's said it would give a proportion of the proceeds from the sale
to charity. Bidding closes on December 1. There have been no bids so
far.

Subject: Online Retailers Await 'Cyber Monday'
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 11:11:06 -0600


By Lisa Baertlein

U.S. online holiday sales are expected to hit nearly $20 billion this
year and should take off on Monday, when consumers return to work and
their fast Internet connections after the long Thanksgiving weekend.

"Cyber Monday," the term coined for the Monday after Thanksgiving,
comes on the heels of the busy "Black Friday" shopping day when many
brick-and-mortar retailers begin turning a profit.

The good news for online shoppers this year, is that "Cyber Monday" is
becoming the Web shopping equivalent to "Black Friday" when retailers
launch major sales and discounts to drive traffic, analysts said.

Consumers are seen spending $19.6 billion on non-travel goods on U.S.
Internet sites during November and December, up 24 percent from $15.8
billion during the same period last year, according to comScore
Networks.

That accounts for less than 5 percent of total holiday sales in the
United States but excludes large corporate purchases and sales on
auction sites like eBay Inc., the most popular shopping site on the
Web.

"Most people who shop online do it at work, not at home," despite
rising rates of high-speed home Internet connections, said Jay
McIntosh, Americas director of retail and consumer products at Ernst &
Young. Work connections tend to be faster than those at home, he said.

While companies like Amazon.com were first to make a splash selling
online, traditional retailers have helped to drive sales with
investments in their own Web sites and by offering consumers the
chance to return Web purchases at physical stores, McIntosh said.

Concerns about returns and the inability to touch and feel items are
major issues now for consumers who in recent years had listed security
as a top Web-shopping worry, he said.

Massive site outages, which dampened online holiday shopping in its
early years, are now uncommon. Still, some shoppers were reporting on
Friday that online ordering was temporarily unavailable on Best Buy
Co. Inc.'s Web site.

A spokeswoman said the company had been limiting the number of
connections to its site due to heavy traffic following the debut this
week of Microsoft Corp's Xbox 360 video game console, for which Best
Buy is the retail launch partner.

FREE SHIPPING RULES

While today's Web shoppers are wooed by conveniences such as avoiding
store lines and driving costs, as well as price-comparison tools
offered by Shopping.com, Shopzilla, Yahoo Shopping and Google's
Froogle, a survey from online retailer association Shop.org said the
biggest draw was free shipping offers.

Jupiter Research analyst Patti Freeman Evans said consumers will be
more concerned about prices this year due to higher home heating costs
and added that many shoppers believe they can find better deals online
because there is more choice.

"Pricing online is competitive. Sometimes you can get better deals
online, sometimes you can get them in stores with sales and coupons
and rebates," she said.

Subject: Sweden Plans to Bring Expo to Internet
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 11:12:26 -0600


By TOMMY GRANDELL, Associated Press Writer

There won't be any cotton candy, but most other treats of a world fair
would be available in an Internet version of the global exposition
being prepared in Sweden.

The Swedish government and the organization responsible for running
the World Expo want to attract younger people and others without the
means to travel across the globe to visit a fair, officials said
Friday. They hope to have it up and running in three years.

"With an Internet World Expo, it might be possible to reach target
groups that are not interested in world expositions designed the way
they are today," said project leader Staffan Bjorck at the Swedish
Foreign Ministry.

The Paris-based Bureau International des Expositions, or BIE, the
governing body of international expos, has pledged euro200,000 to get
the project started, and the Swedish government is expected to do the
same, Bjorck said.

Organizers envision virtual pavilions from more than 100 countries, but
it is not yet known if USA will participate.

"The site will be an encyclopedia of different countries, their
cultures, traditions and music," said Bjorck, who is also vice
president of BIE.  "Imagination is the only limit to the country
presentations."

Each member's contribution would be vetted by the BIE, in the same
manner that physical pavilions are approved by the body.

Major World Expos are typically arranged every fifth year and run for
half a year. Some 22 million people visited the Expo 2005 in Aichi,
Japan, which ended its six-month run in September. The next World Expo
will be held in Shanghai, China, in 2010, with an estimated 70 million
visitors.

The Internet World Expo would complement the physical fair, but would
run continuously and be updated with new themes. National pavilions
would be based on their physical counterparts, but the virtual
exhibition would also feature music, games, e-learning, an exposhop
and opportunities for dialogue and chat.

"It will open the doors of an exhibition to everybody worldwide, even
if it is not possible to say now how many people would 'visit' this
Expo," the BIE's Information and Communication Committee said in a
Nov. 15 document approving the project.

Organizers hope that more than 40 million people worldwide will visit
the site daily, with the target group being people ages 15-24.

"However, the exhibition will of course be open to everyone, and will
no doubt attract a considerably broader group," Bjorck said.

Subject: Obsessive Coupon Disorder / How the Web's Extreme Bargain Hunters


VIRTUAL REALITY
By STEVE STECKLOW

Obsessive Coupon Disorder
How the Web's extreme bargain hunters get deep discounts -- or even 
make a profit -- when they buy

While millions of American shoppers seem willing to risk stampedes
next Friday to get something on sale, Heather Wilde says she plans to
sleep in. She belongs to a virtual community of extreme bargain
hunters who know the best deals are online every day -- and go to
elaborate lengths to find them.

They've learned how cryptic codes like H2MAB5 can knock 15% off
purchases at a major children's clothing retailer. They do their
online shopping via special money-saving Web sites that offer rebates
at hundreds of retailers, including Lands' End, Saks Fifth Avenue and
Apple Computer.

They share information on how to "stack" mail-in rebate forms,
allowing them at times not only to get stuff like Sony Ericsson
cellphones free, but actually make hundreds of dollars doing so.
Which somehow seems appropriate given all the work serious online
bargain hunting can entail.

Since you did not quote the message and it has been a couple of weeks,
I don't know if you mean me or not.  I started in San Fernando/Granada

I believe the service you are looking for is called "Remote Access to
Call Forwarding" (RACF).  I first heard of it from a woman active in a
largely volunteer organization where different volunteers took turns
answering the calls when there was no one in the non-profit's office.

She was looking for a way to change what number the call was forwarded
to when the designated volunteer changed so that no one would have to
go to the office to change the destination number.

The service was not offered when she first made the request, but it
became an offering a year or two later and the organization promptly
subscribed to it.  There was a monthly charge, but as I recall at that
time it was pretty modest.

I just checked the web site http://www.fightaidsathome.org .  They

To my understading Skype is *a* form of SIP. I am not sure if it is

One SIP provider can actually run IVR for calls from Skype clients, so
I guess this is more likely so.
