Dear Readers,
I was surprised to learn that during the course of this month the number of subscribers to the SAS Training Report will surpass the population of the town where I live. That's right, each month you join more than 30,000 other SAS users who turn to the SAS Training Report for the latest training news and information.

And, while information usually only flows one way, we hope in some ways you regard this publication as part of your user experience -- a user community of sorts. A place where you talk, and we listen. We want this publication to reflect your needs, so please let us know if there's anything you'd like to see appear in coming months.

In the meantime, enjoy this month's issue of STR. And as always, thanks for reading.
Larry LaRusso
Editor, SAS Training Report
