We will be putting out our first "Best and Worst of 2004" column this year, to be published here, in the January SCAS Alert and possibly elsewhere.  Please email me any nominees you may have (in any securities-related category you would like: Best Settlement; Best Result Defending an SEC Action; Best Friend of the Plaintiffs' Bar; Best Quote from a Judicial Opinion; Worst New Trend; etc.).  All nominations and ideas will be kept anonymous.

Thanks!
