 whole -- we have been unwavering in our desire to build something of value,"
 said Pamela W. Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer for DataSource,

 company whose core business comprises complementary products and services.
 Plans are for DataSource, Inc. to continue to grow at a rapid pace.  The
 culture will remain focused on commitment, and the company hopes to be at
 $100M in revenue within 5-7 years.
