ICANN, the nonprofit organization that oversees technical matters related to the Internet, said it will begin negotiations with ICM Registry Inc. to resolve commercial and technical issues associated with operating the .xxx top-level domain (TLD). The decision in favor of establishing a virtual red-light district for providers of pornographic content and their customers represents a U-turn for ICANN, which rejected ICM's first application for the .xxx TLD in November 2000. Reasons for the objection are published in a document available on ICANN's Web site.

The beta version, available as an online tool, allows the users to view what they want unlike existing search tools that give mega piles of unorganized information. In Mindset, search queries can be adjusted by moving a slider located on top of the search page, to the left or right to determine the nature of results wanted -- commercial or informational. It is significant that Yahoo! has quietly come out with this innovative tool after the much-publicized personalized Google home page was launched a couple of days back. Mindset is located on the Yahoo Research Labs' site Yahoo Next. The default setting of the slider shows results based on Yahoo's normal listing, while moving it to the right will make the results arranged on an informational basis and to the left on a commercial basis. Yahoo said Mindset is based on machine learning process, which carries out the search through algorithms developed so that the results are thrown on a continuous scale raging from "very commercial" to "very non-commercial". = = = = = = = = = = = Rashid Hussain Siddiqui ADIS 2nd Year Student Documentation Research & Training Centre(DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile Mysore Road Bangalore : 560059 Phone No. : 080-28483975 ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2005 10:15:44 +0530 (IST) From: Jobish P Subject: [LIS-Forum] Sad demise of Dr. T B Rajashekar To: broadcast@iisc.ernet.in Cc: ncsi-net@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in, lis-forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Message-ID: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII We are very sad to inform you that Dr. T B Rajashekar, Associate Chairman of NCSI expired on 3-6-05 in an accident.
