GAS GLITCH
CINCINNATI (AP) - Gas for only a buck-40 a gallon? Well, it was
too good to be true. Long lines formed at a Marathon station in
suburban Cincinnati. It seems a computer glitch caused the gas
pumps to charge just $1.40 a gallon instead of $4.10. Hamilton
County sheriff's deputies finally convinced workers at the station
to close after traffic was jammed by drivers looking for a bargain.
Tiffany Smith waited in line for two hours to buy the cheap gas.
She says she's been faced with the tough choice of having to buy
gas or food for her family. A clerk at the Marathon station tells a
local TV station (WKRC) he didn't know how to fix the price on the
pumps.

NEW INTERNET NAMES
Panel explores sweeping new domain rules
NEW YORK (AP) - The Internet's key oversight agency is
considering the first sweeping changes in the network's addressing
system since its creation 25 years ago.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is
meeting in Paris. Today, it is to consider proposals for
streamlining new domain name suffixes.
The new guidelines could lead to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
Internet addresses to join ".com,". They could include ".lat"
for Latin America and a Bulgarian moniker in the Cyrillic script.
New names won't start appearing for at least several months, and
ICANN won't be deciding on specific ones quite yet.
Demand for change has been rising around the world as Internet
usage expands to people who cannot speak English or easily type
English characters.
