If you tried to access the ISHN (International Society for the 
History of the Neurosciences) website <http://www.ishn.org> recently, 
you probably failed and encountered the error message: 
"There was no response. The server could be down or is not responding. 
If you are unable to connect again later, contact the server's 
administrator."

We use NameSecure.com to link the easy-to-remember-and-use website 
address "www.ishn.org" to the awkward-but-actual address on our web 
server, "www.medsch.ucla.edu/som/bri/archives/ishn/".  NameSecure 
informed me that, "Unfortunately, we had an IP address change over the 
weekend and the accounts effected had to go through a propagation 
period for 48 hours.  If you are still having difficulty reaching your 
site, please clear your cache in your machine.  We were able to reach 
your site by typing in your domain name both with and without the www.  
Your forwarding is functioning properly from here."

Huh?  Don't worry.  Bottom line: the problem is resolved, and you can 
successfully visit the ISHN website again at  .  
Please do, too--you will find ISHN News, links to information about the 
society's new awards/prizes, and the Call for Papers (deadline: 15 
January 2001) for the ISHN/2001 meeting in Cologne, Germany.

It is Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S., so I'm now heading out to play 
football (American rules), eat turkey, and fall asleep with friends in 
front of the television set.

Cheers,
