Dear Reader,<p>


We are very pleased this week to welcome Earth Resource Mapping as the newest addition to our Charter Circle.  This select group of industry participants assists us in developing our strategic direction; and we are very pleased to have Stuart Nixon and the folks at Earth Resource Mapping on Board.  The Charter Circle program is explained at<a href=" <a href="http://www.directionsmag.com/charter.asp"http://www.directionsmag.com/charter.asp">http://www.directionsmag.com/charter.asp">http://www.directionsmag.com/charter.asp</a></a><p>


There's another handy addition to our Product Directory listing.  Now, if the product is among those listed as taught in our Schools Directory, we supply a direct link to that list of academic programs.  Here, for instance, is the ER Mapper product page, with a link to 23 schools using ER Mapper in their work: < a href="http://www.directionsmag.com/products.asp?a=details&prodid=284">http://www.directionsmag.com/products.asp?a=details&prodid=284</a><p>


We have always been rigorous in defending the privacy of all information you give to us.  Now we've formalized that in a Privacy Statement, available from the bottom of each page in the site.

This past weekend we moved our production offices to larger and newer facilities.  We're pretty sure this move was largely transparent to our readers, but of course, let us hear of any problems you are having.<p>


Thanks for reading Directions Magazine, and be sure to tell a friend!
