Nuts and Bolts of Securities FuturesThe ex-distribution date for the stock split is Friday, August 29, 2003. Opening positions and start-of-day prices for August 29 will be based on final positions and settlement prices from Thursday, August 28, 2003. Contract Adjustment Pursuant to The Options Clearing Corp. rules, all outstanding EBAY1C future contracts will be adjusted to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split on August 29. The OCC and CME clearinghouses will adjust the start-of-day position for August 29 by multiplying each open contract's position by the split ratio (2). Additionally, the OCC and CME will adjust the start-of-day price for the adjusted contracts by dividing the August 28 settlement price by the split ratio (2) and rounding to the nearest penny. The variation margin will be calculated using August 29 start-of-day prices and August 29 end-of-day settlement prices. None of the symbols for OneChicago EBAY contract months will change.

A study by Dr. Michael Song and co-authors Cornelia Droge, Sangphet Hanvanich, Roger Calantone in the forthcoming Strategic Management Journal, 2005, shows that firms with strengths in both marketing and technology perform especially well in environments with high technological turbulence. Results from structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that both strong marketing capabilities and strong technology capabilities were positively related to performance. A number of consumer-related auction sites have sprung up on the World Wide Web over the last few years, and best known among these is eBay. Ward and Clark observe that eBay allows both mini-mum-increment bidding, i.e., submitting a bid in the amount of the current high bid plus a minimum incre-ment set by eBay policy, and proxy bidding, i.e., sub-mitting a bid for an amount more PROMOTIONSPROMOTIONS (No Longer Offered) Sprint/eBay Points Promotion Residential customers who are registered eBay users may receive eBay Anything Points (points). In order to receive the eBay points, a customer must: 1) be a registered eBay user, 2) be a new Sprint long distance subscriber and 3) sign up for this promotion by contacting Sprint in response to advertising or sign up online on the eBay web site. The customer will receive 2,500 points when they initially subscribe to Sprint long distance service. If a customer agrees not to receive a monthly invoice and to use a credit card for payment, they will receive an additional 1,000 points. Every six months, a customer will receive 2,500 points, as long as their average monthly long distance usage is at least $15.00. This promotion is available for enrollment through October 15, 2003, unless it is changed or canceled by Sprint.he Internet's most dominant application for communication is also the most dominant application for interactive marketing. E-auctioneer eBay has struck a partnership that will involve the catalog industry. eBay will work with Altura International, a Monterey, California-based firm that provides e-commerce solutions to catalog companies. Catalog companies will auction over-stocked or discounted merchandise on eBay. Linking with Altura, eBay now becomes part of the $120-billion-a-year cata-log sales business in which about 17,000 companies sell direct-ly to consumers through printed catalogs. The eBay partnership calls for Altura to funnel mer-chandise from its catalog partners to the auction site in connec-tion with its existing online brand, CatalogCity.com. Winning bidders for catalog merchandise on eBay will complete their purchases on the CatalogCity.com site. The eBay deal mirrors some Amazon pacts in which the e-tailer shares its audience of shoppers APHA 153First of all, eBay is not an auction house. All eBay does (and here's the clever part) is provide a central server and software on the Internet where registered users can put up items they own for auction, and where other registered users may bid on them. Once the auction is over, eBay sends an email to the buyer and seller and lets them finalize the sale and shipping. If you are interested, there are plenty of experienced users around you to give you tips, and eBay itself provides self-guided tutorials. So the next question is, is it worth your time to search eBay for printing equipment and old printed items? But if you are looking for artifacts to show students or add to your collection, eBay can't be ignored. I first tried eBay in April when trying to find items for Terry Belanger and Rare Book School. eBay was the best option available at the time (see the last Newsletter for recent alternatives). So how do you find stu)? eBay organizes sales by categories andThis offers the opportunity to take P2P systems beyond mere file sharing systems into interesting new application domains. The long-term goal would be to design a fully functional decentralised system which resembles eBay without eBay's dedicated, centralised infrastructure. As the first step in this direction we present an approach for a completely decentralised P2P public key infrastructure (PKI) which can serve as the basis for higher-level security service. We base it on a statistical approach and present an analytical model to quantify its behaviour and properties and to provide probabilistic guarantees. To justify our claims we provide a first-order analysis and discuss the PKI's resilience against various known threats and attack scenarios.

Based on ILOG's Business Rule Management System (BRMS), the accelerator brings into play a proven methodology and best practices for developing applications that help compa-nies abide by the rules to avoid steep fines and other penalties for noncompliance. The accelerator uses ILOG BRMS to provide the fastest system yet for updating a compli-ance solution. It gives business users direct access to the rules driving the solution, and centralizes rules for managing and deploying them across the enterprise. Applications can reflect new laws almost immediately. The dynamic and highly vis-ible nature of eBay's online business requires regular major updates to the compa-ny's applications, especial-ly those governing promo-tions.

Klug says the APS appreciates its long-time members, and she and Lamb make presentations to the 25-year members. The APS only looks at the things that are referred to it by eBay. That's only part of the cooperation with eBay. EBay suggested an eBay live auction. EBay also wants to promote stamp collecting as a family hobby, so donated the money for Famil y Day at AmeriStamp Expo 2004.

The residents of these areas became subjects of the new ruling powers, and all of their vital life events from that period were recorded by those powers. Along with the rebirth of Poland as a nation came physical possession of many of the vital records that were created during the 123 years under foreign occupation. These records, available in Warsaw, are a little known alternative to writing for genealogical information to archives in the Ukraine, Lithuania, or Belarus. With respect to eBay, I have found it to be a wonderful source of items that assist me in my Polish research. Most of your readers are probably not aware that they can set up a permanent search on eBay that will inform them by email of every auction item of their interest. Thus, if they want to buy a fishing pole, they would be informedKatharine Wagstaffe College rivalry between between Brasenose and Lincoln took a high profile turn this week after a Lincoln student put Brasenose up for auction on eBay. First year Dave Green made the offer, entitled "Oxford College; surplus to requirements; going cheap," which eventually attracted a bid of £10m before being removed from the Internet site. Green listed the college, "a used item since 1509", as "a fine comple-ment to any suburban home or gar-den" despite being "generally in quite worn condition." He offered applica-tions to view (to be made through the Rector, Fellows, Scholars and Students of Lincoln College), but said that payment should be made in "used fivers, in brown paper enve-lope preferred." The auction was stopped on Monday evening, seven days early, by eBay.

William A. Darr, Commissioner of the Office of Banks and Real Estate, stated that, "This new legislation serves to establish a process to register and regulate Internet businesses who provide Internet auction services, while at the same time addresses some constitutional issues which may have kept the eBay, one of the world's largest on-line Internet auction services, was instrumental in working with legislators and our office in developing this consumer protection legislation."

But are sellers moving business to eBay or simply finding other outlets? I asked bookseller Chris Hendricks about opening an eBay store or auction to sell books. He describes the amount of money (almost $1500) he would have to spend upfront on store fees and listing fees and even then, he notes "your title does not show up at the top of the search." (Auctions show up, but Store inventory does not generally show up in eBay.com search results.) Kathleen agreed, saying, "I have always loved eBay's auction format.
