Speaking of which, now is a great time to start goal planning for 2011. 

• SAS Global Forum 2011 will be held in Las Vegas on April 4-7 and registration is now open. 

• Thinking that 2011 is the year to go ahead and get SAS Certified? Let us help you get started with our Cert Prep Guides and kits
