Dear Readers,
This week marks the official start of summer. Though here in North Carolina, it feels like summer started a month ago! While the weather heats up, so are the happenings here at SAS. The third maintenance release for SAS 9.2 is now available. Learn about the newest enhancements and features posted in the Knowledge Base on the support site. At the same time, new releases of SAS/ETS, SAS/OR, and SAS/STAT are shipping in conjunction with this third maintenance release. Coming soon, the header will be changing on all the support.sas.com Web pages. For details on the changes, read Renee Harper's blog on Key Happenings at support.sas.com. Closer to home, SAS Publishing has posted over 25 podcasts and webcasts from SAS Global Forum as well as releasing a new series called SAS Authors Answer!. Stay tuned for our Free Shipping promotion for any domestic order you place in the month of July.
Feel free to let us know other ways that we can help you find the information and news that you need. As always, we appreciate you subscribing to SAS Publishing News.

The SAS Press Library Adds a New Book! »
The Business Forecasting Deal: Exposing Myths, Eliminating Bad Practices, Providing Practical Solutions
By Mike Gilliland
978-0-470-57443-0
Business forecasting is the ultimate no-win game. You are almost always wrong, except on those rare, random occasions where actual sales come in exactly on forecast. Against this framework, this book turns forecasting on its head. Instead of focusing solely on statistical modeling and forecast accuracy (accuracy being largely determined by the nature of the demand you are trying to forecast), Michael Gilliland turns your attention to forecasting process efficiency and effectiveness.
Written in a nontechnical style, this book provides practical solutions to a wide variety of business forecasting problems. It illustrates a new way to think about business forecasting in the context of uncertainty, randomness, and process performance, all within the internal political arena in which real-life forecasting is conducted. While there is no magic formula to guarantee perfect forecasts, this book will change your perspective-and improve your success-in dealing with the problems of business forecasting.
