Newsletter Publishing down on the Farm

Article Abstract:

When photographer and publisher Rohn Engh and his wife, Jeri, moved up to the countryside of western Wisconsin they were not sure if they could survive. Engh, a freelance photographer, began a self-promotion campaign through the mail and began to receive a lot of requests he could not fulfill. This led to the establishment of a newsletter through which editors and photographers could keep in contact and field requests. Soon both of his businesses grew, and now Engh is getting help from some technological equipment, such as: a pistol meter, which folds and inserts; a computer for word processing, and to integrate the mailing list on a printer; and a modem for transmitting their newsletter to a data base. The couple is also in the process of planning audio and video cassette instructional tapes and conducting seminars, thus proving that a little help from technology can help a small business succeed, evn if they are located off in the country.

CFTC Crack Down

Article Abstract:

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has promised not to further approvals of new product contracts at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBT) unless and until the trader surveillance there is improved. Particulars of CFTC concern included: no large trader reporting system, a paucity of discipline in proven violation situations, lack of reasoning in many dismissed charges and reduced penalties, too-lengthy investigations, on a lack of on-line computerized market surveillance. The chairman of CBT believes that discipline and conduct overseers should have more power, but does not think the CBT should be forced to explain its action when charges are dismissed because no other exchange is required to do so. The CFTC has taken much stronger actions against other exchanges in the last few years, several of which are delineated.

Data warehouse hype comes down to earth

Article Abstract:

Data warehouses, or categorized and integrated information from a variety of sources, can create a host of problems despite their usefulness. Improper architecture, volume limitations, expense, and construction are just some of the difficulties. Firms unwilling to make a large commitment can instead generate datamarts, or information from one location or division.
