SEC ORDERS A SUSPENSION OF TRADING IN THE STOCK OF SEDONA SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS,
INC.

     On  Jan. 29, the Commission announced the temporary suspension, pursuant
     to  Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act),
     of  trading of the securities of Sedona Software Solutions, Inc.  (stock
     symbol SSSI) of Vancouver, Canada at 3:00 p.m. EST on Jan. 29, 2003  and
     terminating at 11:59 p.m. EST on Feb. 11, 2003.
     
     The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of Sedona
     Software  Solutions, Inc. because of questions concerning  the  accuracy
     and  completeness of information about Sedona on Internet  websites,  in
     press  releases,  and in other sources publicly available  to  investors
     concerning, among other things, Sedona's planned merger with Renaissance
     Mining  Corp.  (Renaissance), a privately-held company; the  assets  and
     business  operations of Renaissance; and trading in Sedona common  stock
     in connection with the announced merger.
     
     The  Commission  cautions broker-dealers, shareholders, and  prospective
     purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information
     along with all other currently available information and any information
     subsequently issued by the company.
     
     Further,  brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that, pursuant
     to  Rule  15c2-11  under  the Exchange Act, at the  termination  of  the
     trading  suspension, no quotation may be entered unless and  until  they
     have  strictly complied with all of the provisions of the rule.  If  any
     broker  or dealer has any questions as to whether or not it has complied
     with the rule, it should not enter any quotation but immediately contact
     the  staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C.
     If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is required by Rule 15c2-
     11,  it  should  refrain  from entering quotations  relating  to  Sedona
     Software  Solutions,  Inc.  securities  until  such  time  as   it   has
     familiarized  itself  with  the rule and is  certain  that  all  of  its
     provisions have been met.  If any broker or dealer enters any  quotation
     that  is in violation of the rule, the Commission will consider the need
     for prompt enforcement action.

     Any  broker-dealer  or other person with information  relating  to  this
     matter  is  invited  to  call  Ivonia  Slade,  Senior  Counsel,  in  the
     Washington,  D.C. office of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  at
     (202) 942-4757.  (Rel. 34-47283)
     
     
RULES AND RELATED MATTERS
          
     
IMPLEMENTATION OF STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT FOR ATTORNEYS
     The  Commission has adopted final rules to implement Section 307 of  the
     Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  by setting "standards of professional  conduct  for
     attorneys appearing and practicing before the Commission in any  way  in
     the representation of issuers." (Rels. 33-8185; 34-47276; IC-25919; File
     No.  S7-45-02)  The Commission has also issued proposed rules  that  set
     out an alternative to the "noisy withdrawal" provisions of the rules  on
     attorney  conduct as originally proposed and has solicited  comments  on
     the  "noisy  withdrawal" provisions originally proposed, the alternative
     now  proposed, and the final rules on attorney conduct. (Rels.  33-8186;
     34-47282; IC-25920; File No. S7-45-02).
     
ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS
          
     
DENVER HEDGE FUND OPERATOR SANCTIONED FOR FRAUD

     Rickey  A. Lang, of the Denver, Colo., area, and Zion Capital Management
     LLC  (Zion), a now-inactive company owned by Lang, have been  sanctioned
     after a hearing before an administrative law judge.  Lang and Zion  were
     ordered  to pay a total of $431,827 in fines and disgorgement, and  Lang
     was  barred from the securities industry.  The law judge concluded  that
     they  violated antifraud and other provisions of the federal  securities
     laws.
     
     Lang  and  Zion  operated  a now-defunct hedge fund,  Dominion  Fund  II
     (Dominion).  Lang told investors that he would operate Dominion with the
     same  trading  strategy  he had used successfully  for  another  entity,
     Dominion  Asset Management (DAM), in which he had a financial  interest.
     However,  in  trading  for both, Lang allocated unprofitable  trades  to
     Dominion  and  profitable  trades to  DAM.   The  result  was  that  DAM
     profited,  and  Lang obtained over $200,000 in ill-gotten  gains,  while
     Dominion  lost 60% of its value.  Lang's wrongdoing increased Dominion's
     investors'  losses  by  over  $300,000.  In addition  to  the  antifraud
     violations,  Lang discarded or failed to keep required  records  of  his
     trading.  (Initial Decision No. 220; File No. 3-10659)
     
IN THE MATTER OF DENNIS HERULA

     An  Administrative Law Judge has issued an order entering default in the
     Matter  of  Dennis  S. Herula.  The Order Instituting Proceedings  (OIP)
     alleged  that  a  U.S. District Court permanently enjoined  Herula  from
     violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section  10(b)
     of  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.   The
     order  finds  the  allegations in the OIP to be true  and,  pursuant  to
     Section  15(b) of the Exchange Act and Section 203(f) of the  Investment
     Advisers  Act  of  1940, bars Herula from associating with  any  broker,
     dealer, or investment adviser.    (Rels. 34-47264; IA-2104; File No.  3-
     10931)
     
ORDER   APPROVING   PLAN   OF   DISGORGEMENT  DISTRIBUTION   AND   APPOINTING
ADMINISTRATOR IN THE MATTER OF HARVEY BURSTEIN AND JAMES LOEFFELBEIN

     The  Commission  announced  that  on Jan.  29  it  approved  a  plan  of
     disgorgement distribution (Plan) in the Matter of Harvey M. Burstein and
     James  D.  Loeffelbein pursuant to Rule 613 of the Rules of Practice  of
     the   Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  17  C.F.R.   201.613,  and
     appointed  Thomas  M. Piccone, a Trial Counsel in the  Central  Regional
     Office, Administrator of the Plan pursuant to the terms of the Plan.  On
     April  9, 2002, the Commission found that Respondents Harvey M. Burstein
     (Burstein)  and  James D. Loeffelbein (Loeffelbein)  willfully  violated
     Sections  5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b)  of
     the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act),  and  Rule  10b-5,
     former Rule 10b-6, and Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange  Act.
     It   ordered  that  Burstein  and  Loeffelbein  cease  and  desist  from
     committing  or causing any violation and any future violation  of  these
     provisions  (except Rule 10b-6, which has been rescinded),  barred  them
     from  association with any broker or dealer (with the right  to  reapply
     for  association  after four years), and assessed civil  penalties.   In
     addition, the Commission ordered Burstein and Loeffelbein, respectively,
     to  pay  disgorgement of $74,324 and $101,544, prejudgment  interest  of
     $35,230  and $48,617, and post-judgment interest.  On Dec. 6, 2002,  the
     Commission  issued  an  order approving publication  of  notice  of  the
     proposed  Plan,  and  notice  was published.   The  Plan  provides  that
     $263,345.24  of  disgorgement and interest paid by respondents  Burstein
     and  Loeffelbein  be  distributed pro rata among the  customers  of  BMA
     Financial Services, Inc. (BMA), other than Burstein or Loeffelbein,  who
     purchased  shares  of  the common stock of Edgerton Musical  Amplifiers,
     Inc. through BMA between February 20, 1997 and May 31, 1997.  (Rels. 33-
     8184; 34-47272; File No. 3-10545)

STANSLAV  KAMINSKY SUSPENDED FROM ASSOCIATION WITH ANY BROKER OR  DEALER  FOR
TWELVE MONTHS

     On  Jan.  29, the Commission entered an Order Instituting Administrative
     and Cease-And Desist Proceedings, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial
     Sanctions  and a Cease-And-Desist Order Pursuant to Section  8A  of  the
     Securities  Act of 1933 (Securities Act) And Sections 15(b) and  21C  of
     the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (Exchange  Act)  (Order)  against
     Stanslav Kaminsky (Kaminsky).  Kaminsky neither admitted nor denied  the
     findings  in  the Order, except as to jurisdiction, which was  admitted.
     In  the  Order, the Commission found that during the period  April  1996
     through the present, Kaminsky was a registered representative associated
     with  various broker-dealers registered with the Commission,  including,
     from  April  1997 to November 1997, W.J. Nolan & Company, Inc.  (Nolan).
     The  Order finds that, while associated with Nolan, Kaminsky engaged  in
     fraudulent   sales  practices,  including  unauthorized  and  unsuitable
     trading  and  churning, in the accounts of five  customers.   The  Order
     finds  that Kaminsky earned $20,509 in commissions from these fraudulent
     transactions, and the customers incurred realized and unrealized  losses
     totaling  $92,746.   The Order further finds that  Kaminsky  caused  and
     willfully  aided and abetted certain books and records violations.   The
     Order  requires Kaminsky to cease and desist from committing or  causing
     any violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b)  of
     the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and from causing
     violations  of  Section  17(a)  of  the  Exchange  Act  and  Rule  17a-3
     promulgated thereunder and suspends Kaminsky from association  with  any
     broker  or  dealer  for a period of twelve months.   The  Order  further
     requires  Kaminsky to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest  in  the
     amount of $30,454 and a civil penalty of $20,509.   (Rels. 33-8187;  34-
     47284; File No. 3-11023)
     
COMMISSION SEEKS TO ENFORCE ORDER AGAINST MARK SHINNICK

     On  Jan.  28,  the Commission commenced proceedings to collect  a  civil
     penalty  previously  ordered in a Commission  administrative  proceeding
     against  Mark  F.  Shinnick. The complaint, filed  pursuant  to  Section
     209(d)  of  the Investment Advisers Act, asks a federal court  to  order
     Shinnick  to comply with the Commission's Order and pay a $10,000  civil
     money penalty. The complaint charges that Shinnick failed to comply with
     the terms of a prior Commission order imposing remedial sanctions issued
     in  the  Matter of Market Timing Systems, Inc., Gregory L. Meadors,  and
     Mark  F. Shinnick, Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-10652 (Aug.  28,
     2002).  [SEC v. Mark F. Shinnick, Civ. Action No. 030635-RSK-FMOX, CDCA]

DEAN JUPITER PERMANENTLY ENJOINED FROM COMMITTING FRAUD
     
     The  Commission announced today that on Jan. 17, the Honorable  Frederic
     N. Smalkin, U.S. District Judge for the District of Maryland, entered an
     Order  of  Permanent Injunction against Dean J. Jupiter, a  resident  of
     Jupiter, Florida.  The order prohibits Jupiter from engaging in fraud in
     violation  of  Section  10(b) of the Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934
     (Exchange  Act) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.  The  order  also
     requires  Jupiter  to  pay disgorgement of all ill-gotten  gains  in  an
     amount  to be determined later.  Jupiter consented to the order  without
     admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission's complaint.
     
     The Commission sued Jupiter on Sept. 28, 2000, for his alleged role in a
     scheme  to  defraud Alexander & Alexander Services Inc.  (Alexander),  a
     Maryland based insurance brokerage firm, which was acquired by Aon Corp.
     in  1997.   The  Commission's complaint alleged:  (1) from 1992  through
     April  1997,  Alexander's portfolio manager, William F. Mahon,  secretly
     traded  millions of dollars in high-risk derivatives and  concealed  $62
     million  in losses and $35 million in gains resulting from such  trading
     on  Alexander's  books  and records; (2) Jupiter,  a  former  registered
     representative  of  a  brokerage  firm,  sold  Mahon  several  of  these
     derivatives  and received sales commissions of at least  $14.3  million;
     (3) from 1993 to 1995, Jupiter paid Mahon at least $190,000 in kickbacks
     to induce him to continue investing in the high-risk derivatives; (4) at
     the inception of the scheme, Jupiter discussed with Mahon how to conceal
     from Alexander losses from his trading in the high-risk derivatives; and
     (5) Jupiter never disclosed to Alexander his knowledge of the scheme  or
     his kickback payments to Mahon.
     
     Previously,   Mahon  consented,  without  admitting   or   denying   the
     allegations in the complaint, to an order permanently enjoined him  from
     violating Sections 10(b) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-
     5  and  13b2-1  thereunder.   He  also paid  disgorgement  of  $190,000,
     prejudgment  interest  of $114,862.08 and a civil  penalty  of  $50,000.

COURT ISSUES PERMANENT INJUNCTION AGAINST ATTORNEY MARY CAPALBO IN CONNECTION
WITH FRAUDULENT OFFERING SCHEME
     
     The  Commission announced that on Jan. 27 a Rhode Island  federal  court
     entered a default judgment imposing a permanent injunction against  Mary
     Lee  Capalbo,  a Rhode Island attorney who participated in a  fraudulent
     offering  scheme  that raised at least $52 million from  investors.   In
     addition  to  being permanently enjoined from future violations  of  the
     federal securities laws, Capalbo was ordered to pay over $19 million  in
     disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and penalties.
     
     The  Commission  filed  its  action  against  Capalbo  and  eight  other
     defendants  and  a  relief defendant on April  1,  2002,  alleging  that
     individuals   associated  with  an  entity  known  as   Brite   Business
     Corporation  made  fraudulent representations  to  investors,  promising
     exorbitant  returns through a high yield trading program.  According  to
     the  Commission's complaint, most of the Brite Business  investor  funds
     were  maintained  in a brokerage account at the Cranston,  Rhode  Island
     office  of  Raymond  James Financial Services, where Capalbo's  husband,
     Dennis  Herula, worked as a broker.  The complaint alleges that, between
     1999 and 2001, Capalbo, Herula and others associated with Brite Business
     misappropriated,  transferred  or  lost  approximately  $20  million  in
     investor funds.
     
     On  April 3, 2002, the federal court in Rhode Island entered a temporary
     restraining order and asset freeze against Capalbo, and on May 8,  2002,
     the  court  entered a written preliminary injunction against  her.   The
     court entered the final judgment by default against Capalbo on Jan.  27,
     permanently  enjoining  her  from future  violations  of  the  antifraud
     provisions  of  the  federal  securities  laws  [Section  17(a)  of  the
     Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange  Act
     of  1934  and Rule 10b-5 thereunder].  Capalbo was also ordered  to  pay
     disgorgement   of   $16,708,520.83,   plus   prejudgment   interest   of
     $2,583,581.31, for total disgorgement liability of $19,292,102.14.   She
     was also assessed a $250,000 civil monetary penalty.
     
     In  its  memorandum  and order, the court found that  Capalbo  used  her
     status  as an attorney to perpetrate fraud against investors.  According
     to  the  court, Capalbo allowed her status as an attorney to be used  to
     attract  investor  funds, lied to investors about the  status  of  their
     funds,  and then spent investor money on luxury items for herself,  such
     as  jewelry,  art,  cars,  and  trips.   The  court  found  a  permanent
     injunction against Capalbo necessary, stating that, based on her conduct
     in this matter, future violations by her are all but certain.
