SEASON'S GREETINGS!
   We would like to wish a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and all other
seasonal greetings to our good friends in the NewsScan community:
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Nonbelievers, Hindus, Shintoists, Buddhists and
all other people of good will. We will also take this occasion to wish
everyone a very happy new year.
    We want at this time to give special thanks at this time to our
wonderful colleagues Lisa Currin, Jim Doyle, Igor Grebert,  Ellen Hogan,
Jivko Koltchev, Vladimir Kussakov, Tom McKay, Laura Murnane-Gordon, and
Robin Perry. Igor, Jivko and Vlad, in Santa Clara, California, provide us
with their technical wizardry; the others work with us on various NewsScan
projects. Lisa is in Long Island; Jim in Atlanta, Georgia; Ellen in Tampa,
Florida; Tom in Kennebunk,  Maine; Laura in College Park, Maryland; and
Robin in Austin, Texas. It's a virtual world,  and we love it.
    Finally, we'd like to take this occasion to express our appreciation to
a few other special supporters and friends of NewsScan: Jim Michalko, Linda
West, Anne Van Camp, Jennifer Hartzell, and Kevin Opstedal of RLG; Mark
Mandelbaum and John White of ACM; Pete Burke of BurkeFirm; Drew Thoeni and
Kathy Shearin of Navigy; Peter Denning of the Naval Postgraduate School; our
indefatigable security consultants Chey and Stephen Cobb; Espen Andersen,
Mich Kabay, John Stuckey and Arun Tripathi; and finally to our old friends
Brian  Williams and Michael Elliott, who led their respective organizations
to become the original sponsors of NewsScan Daily when we first launched in
May 1999. 
     (And, by the way, our four-year relationship with the good people of
RLG comes to a close at the end of this coming February -- so please let us
know if your organization has any interest in underwriting NewsScan Daily.)
      Happy Holidays to all! Our next issue will be January 3rd, 2005.
                           -- John and Suzanne
