  A new result for the nucleon sigma term from an updated pion-nucleon
partial-wave and dispersion relation analysis of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute (now George Washington University) group is discussed. Using a method
similar to that of Gasser, Leutwyler, Locher, and Sainio, we obtain Sigma=90
+/- 8 MeV (preliminary), in disagreement with the canonical result 64 +/- 8
MeV, but consistent with expectations based on new information on the $\pi$NN
coupling constant, pionic atoms, and the Delta resonance width.
