Project Gutenberg a finalist in The Tech Awards:
We are pleased to share the news that Project Gutenberg has been
selected as a finalist in the education category for the Tech Museum
of Innovation Awards- "Technology Benefiting Humanity." Our work, and
that of four other finalists, was chosen from over 400 candidates in
over 50 different countries.
Our work will be honored in San Jose at the Tech Museum's Award Gala
on November 1, 2001, an event celebrating the application of
technology to improve the human condition. One finalist in each of
the five categories: Education, Equality, Economic Development
Environment and Health will be presented a $50,000 award for the
furtherance of their work. If you are interested in more information
or attending the Tech Museum of Innovation Awards gala event, please
visit http://www.thetech.org/techawards/info.html.
Dr. Greg Newby, incoming CEO of the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, will be traveling to San Jose to attend the awards ceremony.

We need some volunteers who can spend just a minute or two looking
over each of the three or so eTexts we post on the average day....
Just to download them and check to see that nothing went wrong in
final save and upload process. Some times there will be missing
"hard returns" or there will be trailing spaces on some or all
of the lines, or there won't be the proper end of file marker,
margination, or header entries. Nothing sophisticated here, we
just want to be able to catch obvious errors, and we can provide
a program we are porting to various operating system to make this
even easier as we go along. 100 Etexts per month is just too much
for any small group of people to do well. . . .

HANDSPRING TO DEBUT ALL-IN-ONE UNIT
Handspring announced its new line of handheld organizers that will
incorporate built-in cell phone, Web-browsing and e-mail features. The
all-in-one Treo devices, which will hit the shelves in early 2002, could
help revitalize the sluggish PDA market, analysts say. "Over the past year,
of all othe devices that have come out -- the Palms, the Handsprings, the
Pocket PCs -- all of them have given current users very little reason to
upgrade," says an IDC analyst. The Treo 180 features a tiny keyboard
similar to those used in e-mail pagers and the Treo 180g uses Palm's
Graffiti handwriting recognition system. Both weigh 5.4 ounces and are
priced at $399. A color-screen version, the Treo 270, is tentatively priced
at $599 and will be available by mid-2002. (AP 15 Oct 2001)

GOV'T PLANS NEW CELL PHONE PRIORITY SYSTEM FOR CELLPHONES
Presidential cybersecurity advisor Richard Clarke has proposed a new system
for prioritizing cell phone calls. Currently, new callers get through on a
first-come-first-served basis; in the future, priority will be given to 911
calls and calls made by government officials who have special access codes.
The wireless industry says it fully supports implementation of the new
system. (AP/New York Times 11 Oct 2001)

[PBS Finally Publicly Admits To Wanting To Air Commercial Ads]
FCC WILL ALLOW ADS ON PUBLIC TV'S DIGITAL BROADCASTS
The Federal Communications Commission has voted 3-1 to let public
broadcasters sell ads and other services on their digital television
broadcasts, which are now offered by 38 of the nation's public TV stations.
FCC chairman Michael K. Powell says that the change in policy in no way
compromises "the soul of public broadcasting." Andy Schwartzman, president
of the nonprofit Media Access Project, disagrees, and intends to challenge
the decision in court: "The whole point of creating public television was to
have a noncommercial preserve for television," Schwartzman says. (Los
Angeles Times 12 Oct 2001)

RIAA WANTS TO HACK YOUR PC
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) tried
to attach amendments to the antiterrorism act that would allow
it to hack people's computers with impunity in order to delete
illegally copied files. Privacy and consumer advocates were
alarmed over the original language of the amendment, language
which the RIAA has now backed away from. The RIAA now is trying
to keep the Deterrence and Prevention of Cyberterrorism portion
of the act from changing current federal law allowing copyright
holders to take limited action against networks trading pirated
files. Under language currently in the legislation, any persons
involved in hacking attempts that total $5,000 in damages over
one year would be guilty of a criminal act.

PROBE OF ONLINE MUSIC BUSINESS EXPANDS
The Justice Department has served subpoenas to the five major
record labels and their two new online music services in order
to determine whether there was illegal coordination to block
other companies from the market. Although companies are allowed
some coordination to discuss copyright and licensing matters,
the industry's own online music services, pressplay and MusicNet,
have been granted universal licenses when independent services
have fought long for the same rights. European antitrust
investigators are also looking into the jointly launched
services, which are divided in terms of technology and
competitors. MusicNet relies on RealNetworks technology and
licenses from AOL Time Warner, Bertelsmann, and EMI, whereas
pressplay operates on Microsoft technology and music from Sony
and Vivendi. (Wall Street Journal. 15 October 2001)
BROADBAND AND MAIN
Evanston, Illinios is pioneering an all-broadband community as
it strives to remain independent of Chicago, the metropolis
bordering the city's south side. The town's business and
community leaders joined together to form e-Tropolis Evanston
and have managed to boost high-speed Internet access to 15
percent of the 33,000 resident households, compared to the
national average of 6 percent. E-Tropolis Evanston has
encountered many obstacles in its quest for ubiquitous broadband,
including the shutdown of independent ISPs the group originally
contracted with and a stark demographic divide between the city's
rich and poor. E-Tropolis Evanston organizers signed a deal with
AT&T to extend more reliable cable modem service to that city
and launched a Recreation Education Center in the city's poor
southeast neighborhood to boost the Internet skills of all its
residents. (Business Week, 8 October 2001)
SAYING GOODBYE TO THE STYLUS
Technologists at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center and other
speech recognition labs are pioneering new software that makes the
handheld computer a voice-computing platform. Such computers are
able to accept voice commands and reply to questions. Currently,
IBM has succeeded in equipping Palm and Compaq PDAs and other
handhelds with microphones, speakers, and extra processing power
so that they can be operated without a stylus. This approach
capitalizes on recent improvements in battery life and processing
power. The strategy differs from that of Microsoft, which favors
wireless connections between handhelds and central processors
that translate voice data. Meanwhile, speech software company
Voice Signal Technologies has succeeded in compacting its voice
recognition software to about one megabyte of memory, letting
handhelds process e-mail dictation.

DIGITAL FREELANCERS WIN AGAIN
The Supreme Court turned down an appeal Tuesday regarding
reprinted photos from National Geographic, which insisted it
would be impossible to find all freelance journalists whose
stories and photographs were used in each of the issues. The
problem came to light when the magazine was sued by freelance
photographer Jerry Greenberg after National Geographic sold a
CD-ROM that included computer versions of issues from 1888 to
1996. Greenberg said the CD release had music, a new
advertisement, and other items not included in the original
versions, which makes it a new product worthy of reimbursement
to freelancers. The Supreme Court agreed with Greenberg, having
also ruled in favor of freelance journalists in New York Times
v. Tasini, saying journalists have rights in regards to work
posted on the Internet. (Associated Press, 9 October 2001)

Happy Columbus Day!
Here are a few new Project Gutenberg Etexts released today
in honor of one of the people who changed the world most.
Of course, in many circles Columbus has recently been
"decanonized". . .just compare the HUGE 400th anniversary
of 1492 as celebrated around the world and especially in
Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the silliness that
transpired on the 500th anniversary when it was decided
well in advance to portray Columbus as politically incorrect.
Columbus, himself, would tell you he was politically incorrect
for his entire life. . .and proud of it. . .and that it was a
requirement. . . .
So. . .Congratulations Columbus!!!
You actually did land on American soil, on several occasions,
much as those who rewrite history would pretend otherwise.
Here are the 9 Columbus Etexts released on October 12, 2001
[The official dates are much later because we are ahead of schedule]
[We ARE planning on fixing this]

Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
We currently have 58 *reserved* slots, which is why the total number of titles

YAHOO WON'T CHANGE CHATROOM POLICY
Trading in shares of Viasource Communications and Extreme Networks was halted
Monday after a bogus document resembling a PR Newswire release was posted in a
Yahoo Finance chatroom. Yahoo took the release off the message board as soon
as it was contacted by PR Newswire. A spokeswoman said, "All of our message
boards are considered unmoderated pieces of public forum. We don't proactively
monitor the content of our boards." Citing Yahoo's user-privacy policy, she
did not comment on whether Yahoo intended to pursue an investigation to
determine who posted the press release. (Wall Street Journal 10 Oct 2001)

[Reality and TV Coincide. . .just 12 hours before this was sent to me, the
"Judging Amy" courtroom drama dealt with the same issue. The perp was a 14
year old who had expanded a school project into real trading, and was
experimenting with responses to such postings. Judge Amy gave her the tough
love treatment usually reserved for people such as "Zero Cool" and Kevin
Mitnick "Phyber Optik" and forbade her access until she [the perp was female]
turned 18.]
AMAZON DEBUTS 'LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK' FEATURE Amazon.com is moving to enable
online shoppers to thumb through a few pages of the books it sells through a
"Look Inside the Book" feature that includes images of covers, flaps and
actual pages. "It's something that customers have been telling us they'd like
to do," says Steve Kessel, VP of Amazon's media division. "It's sort of the
logical next step for them in terms of making a purchase decision... For art
and photography books, people can check the quality of the images. They can
look at children's books to see what the graphics look like and how big the
font is and whether it's suitable for their child; they want back covers of
mystery books so they can see quotes from other mystery writers." The new
feature is available for some 25,000 book titles. (Reuters 10 Oct 2001)

JOURNALISTS WIN ANOTHER CONTEST OVER DIGITAL RIGHTS The U.S. Supreme Court has
refused to hear an appeal by National Geographic after an appellate court
sided with a photo journalist who sued the publication for including his work
in CD-ROM form without his permission and without offering him additional
payment. The freelancer's photographs had appeared in the National Geographic
over three decades. (San Jose Mercury News 10 Oct 2001)

MICROSOFT OFFERS NEW POCKET PC VERSION
On Thursday Microsoft launched the latest version of its Pocket PC, a move
that may strengthen its competitive stance against Palm. Palm leads the
handheld market with an 80 percent share, compared to Microsoft's 16 percent.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer touted the device as a "connectivity machine,"
boasting links to products such as Microsoft's Exchange server and the
Microsoft SQL server database. The company hopes that such advantages and
their popularity among corporate users will enable Microsoft to garner a
bigger market share. Compaq Computer, Symbol Technologies, and Toshiba are
among the manufacturers building the Pocket PCs.

About the Project Gutenberg Monthly Newsletter:
[Goes out approximately first Wednesday of each month. But different relays
will get it to you at different times; you can subscribe directly, just send
me email to find out how, or surf to promo.net/pg to subscribe directly by
yourself.]
and now
About the Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter:
[Goes out approximately at noon each Wednesday, but various different relays
will get it to you at different times; you can subscribe directly, just send
me email to find out how, or surf to promo.net/pg to subscribe directly by
yourself.]
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about how to
subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings, and retrieve
back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in receiving
regulary newsletters and other announcements about the Project Gutenberg
etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers "gutvol-d" =
Discussion among active volunteers "hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for
active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe, the
others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list into two
new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to one of
these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter on a monthly
basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which help people to hear
sooner about the latest books that were published by Project Gutenberg. Each
list receives periodic announcements about Project Gutenberg, as well.
Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an email
message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the message
should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is replaced
by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck, your message might
contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it from the
header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't address
your message to an address such as "listserv" or "listprocessor" or
"majordom". However, for backward compatibility, "listproc@lyris.unc.edu"
still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different mailing
lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask Dr. Internet, and
that it is possible you do not receive our newsletters directly from us. In
any case of that nature, you would have to deal with that mailing list
directly. If you look through the email header information, you should be
able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every message
you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list contents,
and change some personal settings. Visit http://lyris.unc.edu and select one
of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything else
related to the mailing lists, please email "owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu"
to contact the lists' (human) administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris features, you can
find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help
Thanks for your interest in Project Gutenberg's mailing lists! If you would

ETextViewer displays text as a single-page scrolling view with a cursor,
which is useful when used in conjunction with text-to-speech applications.
Main features are the ability to open very large files; automated text
scrolling; full user customisation of the viewing environment (includes
font styles and margins); text reformatting to remove hard returns,
and saving of all user settings. On start up, ETextViewer will
automatically open the file you were reading at the position where
it was left. It also allows for setting of up to 5 bookmarks per book
and saves a history of 20 books.

We need someone to write the weekly Newsletters for November. . . .
I'll be on the road. . . .
I can give you a kind of "fill in the blanks" approach to make it easy.
I should be able to do the monthly Newsletters. . . .
***
We need some volunteers who can spend just a minute or two looking
over each of the three or so eTexts we post on the average day....
Just to download them and check to see that nothing went wrong in
final save and upload process. Some times there will be missing
"hard returns" or there will be trailing spaces on some or all
of the lines, or there won't be the proper end of file marker,
margination, or header entries. Nothing sophisticated here, we
just want to be able to catch obvious errors, and we can provide
a program we are porting to various operating system to make this
even easier as we go along. 100 Etexts per month is just too much
for any small group of people to do well. . . .
***
Please send in as much copyright research as you can in the next
month, as I plan to be away for November, and don't want to swamp
Greg Newby with more copyright research than is necessary.

ETextViewer displays text as a single-page scrolling view with a cursor,
which is useful when used in conjunction with text-to-speech applications.
Main features are the ability to open very large files; automated text
scrolling; full user customisation of the viewing environment (includes
font styles and margins); text reformatting to remove hard returns,
and saving of all user settings. On start up, ETextViewer will
automatically open the file you were reading at the position where
it was left. It also allows for setting of up to 5 bookmarks per book
and saves a history of 20 books.

We need someone to write the weekly Newsletters for November. . . .
I'll be on the road. . . .
I can give you a kind of "fill in the blanks" approach to make it easy.
I should be able to do the monthly Newsletters. . . .
***
We need some volunteers who can spend just a minute or two looking
over each of the three or so eTexts we post on the average day....
Just to download them and check to see that nothing went wrong in
final save and upload process. Some times there will be missing
"hard returns" or there will be trailing spaces on some or all
of the lines, or there won't be the proper end of file marker,
margination, or header entries. Nothing sophisticated here, we
just want to be able to catch obvious errors, and we can provide
a program we are porting to various operating system to make this
even easier as we go along. 100 Etexts per month is just too much
for any small group of people to do well. . . .
***
Please send in as much copyright research as you can in the next
month, as I plan to be away for November, and don't want to swamp
Greg Newby with more copyright research than is necessary.

Reuters writes that Clear Channel Communications, owner of 1,170 U.S.
radio stations, reportedly issued a list of 150 songs it doesn't want
deejays to play. Less concerned with offensive words and sites than the
public's militant-readiness state of mind, some of the "banned" tunes
include Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," John Lennon's
"Imagine," Neil Diamond's "America," and Peter and Gordon's "A World
Without Love."

FACT-DRIVEN? COLLEGIAL? THIS SITE WANTS YOU
Wikipedia is a Web site where volunteers are striving to create a
free online encyclopedia that is built by consensual collaboration.
Participants are encouraged to supply new entries as well as edit
other people's entries. The encyclopedia is being built with Wiki
software, which allows text to be continuously updated by multiple
parties. Wikipedia may be even more valuable as a communal
environment for those who compile it than for those who merely use
it as a resource, according to the University of Pennsylvania's
vice provost for information systems, James J. O'Donnell. However,
the simplicity of the Wiki software makes it easy for less
objective participants or vandals to come in and disrupt the
project. Thus far, Wikipedia has avoided such unpleasantness, said
co-founder and Bomis CEO Jimmy Wales, who added that backup copies
exist so that any ruined data can be repaired.

KEY HOUSE LEADERS LOBBY TO DEFEAT DIGITAL MUSIC BILL
Six state representatives have begun lobbying their colleagues
to reject the Music Online Competition Act (MOCA), which seeks
to smooth the playing field for online music services. MOCA would
limit the power of the new online distribution services MusicNet
and Pressplay, which are supported by music industry linchpins
and hold the distribution rights to 40 percent of the digital
music market. Under the legislation, the two services would be
forced to issue uniform licenses to all competing online
broadcasters and music services. The bill is supported by Reps.
Boucher (D-Va.) and Chris Cannon (R-Utah), but the judiciary
subcommittee chairman overseeing the bill's progress is still
undecided on the issue. The six legislators opposing the bill
include the ranking Democrat and the chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee. (Newsbytes, 20 September 2001)
INFECTED DSL USERS LOSE ACCESS
Broadband service providers such as Speakeasy and DSL Inc. have
decreed that customers whose computers have not been patched to
block viruses such as Nimda and Code Red risk losing network
access if they become infected. Such ISPs say that customers have
been supportive of such action. "If people haven't applied the
patches, they are obviously clueless," said London systems
administrator Tony Monty. "Denying them access until they fix
their system is the only thing that will get their attention."
Even those who run computers invulnerable to viruses suffer
from slow connections due to the increased network traffic
that results from infected machines that continuously scan
the Internet for other potential hosts.
(Wired News, 21 September 2001)
DESPERATELY SEEKING SEARCH TECHNOLOGY
E-commerce companies that do not keep up on the latest search
technology or that have Web sites with paltry search options
risk losing business. Eighty percent of online users who encounter
poor search functions are likely to leave the site, according to
Jupiter Media Metrix. An obvious search button is a simple
solution that companies can take advantage of. Successful
e-commerce firms such as eBay have learned that improving search
tools results in more purchases from customers. Search engines
should also be designed to take common misspellings into account.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle e-commerce sites face is making their
private product databases available to public search engines.
This requires a change in thinking among technology staff, who
are very protective of what they consider proprietary data,
explained Google CEO Eric E. Schmidt.

Project Gutenberg's Weekly Newsletter for Wednesday, September 19, 2001
Etexts Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since Before The Internet
[Usually sent the first Wednesday of each month, delayed if by relay.]
Main URL is promo.net Webmaster is Pietro di Miceli, of Rome, Italy
*Check out our Websites at promo.net, and ask me for our FTP servers.*

This is being prepared a day early, as the site I normally work out of
seems to be having huge network problems, and I can't actually DO much
of the "virtual" work I would normally be doing today. Luckily, a few
of our best volunteers are stepping in for me, and we may yet have the
extraordinary "normal" amount of Etexts you have come to expect from a
band of volunteers. . . . I guess this turned out to be the best time
for me to train people to actually load up the Etexts for downloading,
directly, without me as the final editor and FTP agent. . .as I mayn't
be able to do it all that well tomorrow, certainly not easily today.
I had planned to do 6 books today, and barely managed to do one, and I
haven't been able to do all my email yet, either. . .things just lock,
for minutes at a time. . .so I work on local files while I continually
manage to think globally.
So far, as of about midnight, David Widger managed to add 8 more books
so we WILL have a reasonable total by the time the Newsletter goes out.
***
We still need volunteer in North Dakoka, and now one in Wyoming.
***
We need some volunteers who can spend just a minute or two looking
over each of the three or so eTexts we post on the average day....
Just to download them and check to see that nothing went wrong in
final save and upload process. Some times there will be missing
"hard returns" or there will be trailing spaces on some or all
of the lines, or there won't be the proper end of file marker,
margination, or header entries. Nothing sophisticated here, we
just want to be able to catch obvious errors, and we can provide
a program we are porting to various operating system to make this
even easier as we go along. 100 Etexts per month is just too much
for any small group of people to do well. . . .
***
Please send in as much copyright research as you can in the next
month, as I plan to be away for November, and don't want to swamp
Greg Newby with more copyright research than is necessary.

MASSIVE E-MAIL GROWTH PREDICTED
E-mail use is set to grow 138% over the next four years, according to
researchers at IDC, who are forecasting 1.2 billion e-mail mailboxes by
2005. By that time, the number of personal e-mail messages sent in an
average day will exceed 36 billion. Growth will be fueled by increased use
of free Web-based services, such as Hotmail, and the proliferation of
Web-enabled devices, such as cell phones and PDAs. "Wireless access through
e-mail devices will offer new ways for e-mail users to remain connected
longer while on the move," says IDC researcher Mark Levitt. (Ananova 18 Sep

MICROSOFT POSTPONES FLIGHT SIMULATOR UPDATE
Saying that "it's just an inappropriate time to release the product,"
Microsoft is delaying the launch of the new version of its Flight Simulator
software, which game players use to pilot simulated flights of a variety of
aircraft (from gliders to jet liners) over much of the world, including New
York City and the World Trade Center towers. If a player's aircraft strikes
a building the program shows that the plane has crashed, but the buildings
do not blow up. Microsoft is removing depictions of the World Trade Center
from new releases of the game, and offering a software patch on its Web
site allowing owners of existing copies of the game to remove the towers.

NEW WORLD ORDER, COPYRIGHT STYLE [!!!!!!!]
An international treaty currently being drafted would force
foreign companies to abide by domestic court judgments and vice
versa. Representatives of more than 50 countries are currently
drafting the framework in the Hague, including China, the European
Union, and the United States. The U.S. Patent Office will host a
discussion of the topic this week, which is expected to draw
spokespeople from the many different industries the law would
affect. Morrison & Foerster lawyer Barbara Welbery, who will speak
on behalf of Yahoo! at the hearings, said ISPs fear the law would
subject them to multitudes of lawsuits, making them responsible
for content delivered over their networks. However, groups from
the movie and music industries look forward to the law that would
help them enforce copyright infringement protection overseas and
allow them to attack file-trading sites based in other countries.

DUELING ESSAY CONTESTS IN FRAY INVOLVING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is hosting
a contest that offers a prize of $600 for the best essay that
answers the question, "What does intellectual property mean to
you in your daily life?" Last week, an organization of academics,
artists, and proponents called Wipout announced a contest that
asks participants to answer the same question, but with a more
critical eye. Wipout's members oppose the extensive intellectual
property protection that WIPO favors, calling such measures
detrimental to the public. Patent laws, for instance, could
hinder access to AIDS drugs in South Africa, according to the
Treatment Action Campaign, one of Wipout's supporters. It
has yet to be seen if WIPO will sue Wipout's self-described
"intellectual property counter-essay contest" for copyright
infringement. (New York Times, 10 September 2001)

I would like to dedicate this Newsletter to my brother, whom I thought
we had lost for most of yesterday, but who finally managed to get thru
at dinnertime last night. . .it was so good to hear his voice. He was
meeting with Pentagon officials yesterday morning, but they decided to
meet him halfway between their respective offices. The old office was
one of those that was remodeled. . .and now destroyed. . . .
I wish I could say that all my tears of the past 24 hours were just an
effect of allergies. . .some were. . .some weren't. . . .
My thanks to those who remembered that my brother and mother often eat
lunch at Pentagon City, etc.
I didn't answer any but the most important emails yesterday and didn't
put any books on line. . .I was just about to when it all started.
So, I will probably be behind with my email for a few days, as I spent
this entire day mostly posting a HUGE number of books. . .over half of
the list below. . .because that's the way some of us are. . .we do the
work even more in times of stress. . .and I thank those others who did
so much to help, but with the work and with the heart.
Please email me again in a few days if I haven't answered. . . .
Special thanks to David Widger, Alev Akman, Greg Newby and my cousins.
I should also mention that Brett Fishburne, our newest FTP person is a
member of FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] and this will not
be available to put our books on site for some time. If anyone should
like to do this for us, please let me know.
Thanks!!!

***News Headlines From Newsscan and Edupage***
FOUR PUBLISHERS TO SELL E-BOOKS THROUGH YAHOO
Four major publishers (Simon & Schuster, Random House, Penguin Putnam, and
HarperCollins) will sell their digital books on an Internet through the
Yahoo.com site, an arrangement which Yahoo executive Rob Solomon suggests
is attractive to the publishers because Yahoo has a "neutral status, like
Switzerland, and is not part of a major media company." For its services,
Yahoo will receive sales commissions and book promotion fees. The book
division of AOL Time Warner is the only top publishing companies that has
declined to participate in the deal; that division's chairman, Laurence
Kirschbaum, said: "Given the fact that sales of electronic books are not
running away, we have to question whether we need to expand right now. Our
focus right now is on AOL." (New York Times 5 Sep 2001)

DUELING ESSAY CONTESTS IN FRAY INVOLVING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is hosting
a contest that offers a prize of $600 for the best essay that
answers the question, "What does intellectual property mean to
you in your daily life?" Last week, an organization of academics,
artists, and proponents called Wipout announced a contest that
asks participants to answer the same question, but with a more
critical eye. Wipout's members oppose the extensive intellectual
property protection that WIPO favors, calling such measures
detrimental to the public. Patent laws, for instance, could
hinder access to AIDS drugs in South Africa, according to the
Treatment Action Campaign, one of Wipout's supporters. It
has yet to be seen if WIPO will sue Wipout's self-described
"intellectual property counter-essay contest" for copyright
infringement. (New York Times, 10 September 2001)
DOWNLOADS SWAMP COMPUTER NETWORK IN U. OF DELAWARE'S DORMS
Officials at the University of Delaware believe that students
downloading movies were responsible for the heavy traffic that
brought Internet access in the school's residential halls to a
halt this week. Although the institution initially opted to try
to educate students about good Internet conduct rather than impose
bandwidth restrictions, starting next week that will no longer
be the case. The problem was caused by students downloading as
much as 19 gigabytes of material, according to the university's
VP for information technologies, Susan J. Foster. Such bandwidth
suggests that they were probably downloading video. Consequently,
downloads will now be limited to one gigabyte per student per day.

HP TO ACQUIRE COMPAQ
Hewlett-Packard is buying Compaq Computer in a $25-billion deal that would
create an information technology behemoth with annual revenues of about $87
billion. The deal presents a potential threat to industry giant IBM, which
had revenues of slightly more than $88 billion last year. HP chairman and
CEO Carly Fiorina will retain her titles and Compaq chairman and CEO
Michael Capellas will become president of HP. "This is a decisive move that
accelerates our strategy and positions us to win," says Fiorina. "At a
particularly challenging time for the IT industry, this combination vaults
us into a leadership role." (Financial Times 4 Sep 2001)

BITS OF EVIDENCE
A growing number of consultants now specialize in helping law firms prepare
for trail by sorting through electronic documents and e-mail messages found
either on a defendant's own computer or on file server systems. Computers
can identify documents by date, authors, recipients and keywords, and can
frequently yield information the author thought had been erased. Attorney
Michael Epstein says: "You know for a paper document, it's either there or
it isn't. With e-mail, it's a little different." He provides the example of
a lawsuit bought by one company against its former employees, whose denials
of working for themselves on company time were refuted by evidence of their
personal activities obtained by restoring files erased from the computers
they had used at work. (New York Times 4 Sep 2001)
