Well, all the proper reviews that are going to come out about Drood have come out. Neil Novelli's was posted in the critics' blog late Friday night, and Joan's was out yesterday, as was the New Times review by Len Fonte, which had one of the cleverest headlines I've seen. (Who doesn't love an Aerosmith reference?)
However, as I've mentioned before, reviewing plays for this blog has clearly spoiled me. And as I've seen no other shows, I've got no Audience Thursday quotes for you today... so... shall I?
Yes, why not, indeed?
Ten peso plot: A Victorian-era theater troupe attempts to mount a production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which is kind of tricky, given that Charles Dickens died in the middle of writing it. However, the dauntless members of the Music Hall Royale take this setback in their stride and promise to - with the audience's help - present the work in its entirety for the first time ever. From there on, it's opium, obsession, xenopobia, graveyards, thunderstorms, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
Oh, she's lapsed into the movie quotes again. (And the third person, too...How lovely.) Moving right along.
You know, I'm not sure I can actually give Drood the regular House Lights treatment. I mean, doing the ten peso plot is one thing, but giving the play-by-play of the performances is frankly overwhelming to someone who's been entrenched in them for weeks. Let me see if I can think of a creative altermative...
Hmmm. Nothing's coming. That's Thursday for you, I guess.
How about if I just go through the other reviews and
steal annex the words and phrases I like best from them? That's sort of acceptable in a vaguely postmodern way, isn't it?
Appealing, honey-voiced, bright, energetic, spunky, imperious, sweet, outstanding, sinister, right on the mark, vivacity and joy, upbeat, magnificent, backstage shenanigans, brassy, lusty, silly, scary, rollicking wit, gorgeous, wistful, and, of course, small but sturdy - a phrase I'm thinking about putting on a T-shirt, incidentally...
Anyway. Back to me.
Ian Walsh's set effectively shows both worlds of the Music Hall Royale - from the drama onstage to the Drama backstage. I wish I could say something intelligent about lighting, but the truth is, even on my best days I know little about it, and when I'm onstage my only concern with lights is making sure I'm in them...
The show is not miked, which I wish I was able to experience as an audience member, as natural sound is one of my favorite theater experiences. Costumes are gorgeous (that jade green hoop-skirted dress alone!) and amazingly fun to wear. (Bloomers? Sassy goodness.) I do worry sometimes about stabbing myself in the brain with my wickedly long hat pin, but who's to say it wouldn't be an improvement?
Bottom line: That I'm mortifyingly biased in its favor as a cast member should not dissuade you from coming to see this show. Watching it's got to be at least as much fun as performing in it, and this has been one of the most rollicking shows I've ever been in.
I could give you my word as a Spaniard?

Although the population and restaurants in Newark's vibrant Ironbound neighborhood are largely Portuguese and Brazilian, Casa Vasca is a Basque and northern Spanish restaurant in a quiet residential neighborhood a few blocks from the main drag, Ferry Street.
From the sidewalk, this hidden treasure looks like a pleasant neighborhood bar and grill. Once inside, the restaurant, established in 1976, is cozy, charming and full of life. Windows, real and faux, are framed in brick half circles with carriage lamps and live philodendron. Colorful prints in gold frames and green and white linen tablecloths add color to the long, rectangular room.
Maria, the owner, is everywhere at once and commands a snappy group of male servers in brocaded vests and bow ties. Service is beyond attentive and greatly enhances the dining experience.
Casa Vasca's food hails from the Basque region and elsewhere in northern Spain. The differences, however, with the rest of Spain and of Portugal are subtle rather than substantial. Note the lack of photos of these dishes. The staff is hyper-protective of its diners, and refused to let us photograph the meals.
Moving on, we sampled a range of appetizers and really liked the clams in green sauce (tear apart a roll supplied by a local Portuguese bakery and start dipping into that sauce) and mushrooms in garlic sauce. But our landslide winner in this election is the grilled Spanish chorizo sausage, cut into chunks, smoky, zesty and crunchy around the edges. The residual oil on the platter is another place for roll mopping. A cold Spanish beer like Estrella Galicia is a great complement to the chorizo.
Recommended entrees would certainly include a special of pork chop "Basque Style" with potatoes, mushrooms, red peppers and topped with a sliced, hard-cooked egg. Also, dried salt cod in tomato sauce is strong tasting -- as it should be -- and served with lots of garlic and paprika. Our winning entry here is Galician-style octopus with boiled potatoes and sweet Spanish paprika. Rice with shrimp, peas and pimientos, however, was disappointingly dry.
The wine list has approximately 70 wines, almost all from Spain, Portugal and Italy. There is a very good selection of inexpensive red and white wines priced below $40.
The Spanish may not be considered dessert devotees. Nonetheless, we tried several offerings. The flan was pitch-perfect and the Catalonian creme brulee was delicious and was helped along with orange and anise liqueurs. Almond cake and orange cake needed more of those flavors.
Relax after your meal with the robust coffee and perhaps a sip of the Basque liqueur Patxaran made with aniseed and wild sloe berry.
Finally, consider how smart we were to avoid the noisy touristy Ferry Street area -- let's just keep this neighborhood place to ourselves.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Yan Gomes' head is clear. Now, the Tribe catcher is back in action.
The Indians activated Gomes from the seven-day concussion disabled list on Friday. He will bat sixth in the series opener against the Royals. To create a roster spot, the club placed Chris Gimenez on the paternity list. Gimenez, who joined the team last weekend, has yet to appear in a game this season for the Indians.
Gomes suffered a mild concussion when he was struck in the mask in a game at Target Field in Minnesota on Aug. 21. He felt dizzy and started dry-heaving, so he exited the game early. Two days later, he landed on the DL. He had to pass all of the proper concussion protocols mandated by the league before he could be activated.
Gomes is batting .284 with 17 home runs and 53 RBIs. Since the All-Star break, Gomes is hitting .351 with a .974 OPS.
Rookie backstop Roberto Perez filled in admirably while Gomes was sidelined. Perez collected five hits in 11 at-bats in the just-completed series at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.

JASPER, Alabama - An organization that distributes fruits and vegetables to the needy will bag up 40,000 pounds of apples on Saturday morning, March 15, in Jasper.
Volunteers are needed, said Mary Lynn Botts, program coordinator for the Society of St. Andrew.
The shipment of loose apples will be delivered early Saturday morning and volunteers will help bag them into five-pound bags. The crop drop will be held in Jasper in the parking lot of First Baptist Church, 1604 4th Ave. Jasper, Ala., 35501. The bagged apples will be distributed through the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama's network of nonprofit agencies in Walker and surrounding counties and will provide fresh produce for people in need in Central Alabama.
The food bank is partnering with the Society of St. Andrew, a faith-based non-profit organization that gleans and salvages fresh produce at the farm level. In 2013, Society of St. Andrew rescued 32.4 million pounds of food with help from 38,000 volunteers. To learn more about Society of St. Andrew and their gleaning network go to www.endhunger.org
"This event is a great way to get the community involved in the Food Bank's efforts to help get fresh produce to our friends and neighbors who face hunger in Central Alabama," said Mary Michael Kelly, Executive Director of the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. "When everyone comes together in this way we can really make a big impact."
All ages are welcome to volunteer. The event will start at 9 a.m.

This is the second day of a four-day series of endorsements for school board candidates in contested races on the May 4 ballot in Muskegon and North Ottawa counties. During March, The Chronicle Editorial Board interviewed 19 school board candidates about the biggest issues facing their districts, their stand on privatization and concerns about curriculum.
The Chronicle Editorial Board did not interview David L. Stone.
The newcomers offer a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds which would serve the school district well. Two, Roy and Smith, have children attending school in the district. Grenan has several years of experience as a teacher, coach and administrator.
The candidates all agreed that school funding is the main issue facing the school district.
Smith has taken a proactive approach to solving the problem. She is in the process of organizing a community forum in Holton where state lawmakers would discuss school financing with district residents. "We need to hold them accountable for their actions," she told us.
Roy also was concerned that the school district may be falling behind academically. As the father of young children, he wants to ensure the school's curriculum provides students with the tools necessary to continue their education after high school graduation.
Grenan also raised the issue of the quality of education and a concern that schools are miseducating students. He has taught courses at Baker College and Muskegon Community College and finds many area students unprepared to continue their education.
Holton Public Schools voters have three good choices for a new school board member, but we think Melissa A. Smith, the mother of students in the district, a graduate of the district and a determined problem solver, will serve the district best.
We encourage John Grenan and Todd W. Roy to run again for school board. Holton could use their skills, experience and interest in serving their community.

Esteemed Psychiatrist Retracts 2001 Study Widely Cited By Ex-Gay Therapists Like Marcus Bachmann
American Prospect web editor Gabriel Arana underwent nearly a college education's worth (four years) of ex-gay therapy, as he writes in a story called "My So-Called Ex-Gay Life."
So when Arana interviewed 79-year-old Robert Spitzer, a man esteemed in psychological-academic circles who gave some mainstream acceptance to the idea that ex-gay therapy could work with a 2001 study, he asked a lot of questions. It turns out Spitzer wants to retract that study, which is widely cited by all the major ex-gay organizations as the primary piece of objective evidence that ex-gay therapy works.
The funny thing about Spitzer is that he led the charge to declassify homosexuality as a psychological disorder back in 1973. This guy should be a legend hailed by the gay movement, not one abused by terrible ex-gay therapists like Marcus Bachmann.
Arana tells Queerty that Spitzer is "old as hell, and everyone was afraid he was going to die before he took [the study] back." So, please, mark Spitzer's words here, and take his retraction seriously as part of his legacy—he'll be celebrating his 80st birthday next month.
Writes Arana:
Spitzer was drawn to the topic of ex-gay therapy because it was controversial—"I was always attracted to controversy"—but was troubled by how the study was received. He did not want to suggest that gay people should pursue ex-gay therapy. His goal was to determine whether the counterfactual—the claim that no one had ever changed his or her sexual orientation through therapy—was true.
I asked about the criticisms leveled at him. "In retrospect, I have to admit I think the critiques are largely correct," he said. "The findings can be considered evidence for what those who have undergone ex-gay therapy say about it, but nothing more." He said he spoke with the editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior about writing a retraction, but the editor declined. (Repeated attempts to contact the journal went unanswered.) …
Spitzer was growing tired and asked how many more questions I had. Nothing, I responded, unless you have something to add.
He did. Would I print a retraction of his 2001 study, "so I don't have to worry about it anymore"?
Of course, Arana agreed to do so. The full article is very much worth reading. Check it out online or pick up a copy of the American Prospect when you can.
Nahhhh, they'll just go back to citing some non-peer reviewed study fro mthe 1950's
The ex-gay sorts don't tell the truth about anything else, why would they start now?
Queerty: 'he [Spitzer] said. "The findings can be considered evidence for what those who have undergone ex-gay therapy say about it, but nothing more."'
The original article also pointed out that most people are harmed by this "therapy," something others had shown. Spitzer was looking for any cases where people weren't harmed or had a positive reaction to it. He probably expected to find none at all, which would have driven the proverbial nail through the coffin.
Whether the people he interviewed have a malleable sexual orientation or are just particularly adept at fooling themselves, he did discover something interesting – a small fraction of those who go through ex-gay therapy respond in atypical ways. Other research has shown that the typical response is for a patient to be harmed.
"80st birthday"?
Hell is older than 79.
And Robert Spitzer is a hero of gay liberation, gay rights, gay history, however you want to call it. And Gabriel Arana is doing a service not only to the gay community but to the psychotherapy community and public discourse in general by calling attention to Spitzer's own views about how the study is being misinterpreted and misused, and his wish to retract it.
So maybe we could do a service to them both, and everyone else, dispensing with the ageism by not actually quoting that part of Arana's conversation, and instead focusing on the relevant points. Unless your point is to express your own fear of aging. I'm nowhere near that age either, and I'm not thrilled about aging, but it seems the best way to handle it is to see it for what it is and, just as Arana and Spitzer are trying to do regarding those who are abusing gays and their loved ones by acting like they should—or even can—change, we might do the same for the fact that we can't change aging and be a little less harsh about it for those who are further down that road than are we.
It's been long established that bisexuality exists and lots of people would choose gay or straight relationships, without any need for therapy.
Sexuality is quite fluid, as Kinsey established. The huge fuss over this came from some fundamentalist religions who wanted to control it for marriage and property purposes. Such a natural thing should not be a battleground in the US.
This study was a mistake and flawed in its methodology from the start, but the media took it and ran with it, and the ex-gay groups lauded it as proof when the results actually showed that the vast majority of people who underwent it were unsuccessful!
I reported on this at the time for gay media in New Zealand back in 2003, and I've just done a roundup of what I discovered back then by reading the actual study and the peer reviews of it:

The GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer solution will improve business processes because it replaces numerous tools, scripts and manual steps that organizations have typically used to transfer, transform and secure data. Eliminating these repetitive and tedious tasks allows your IT staff to work on other projects, saving time and money. In addition, a managed file transfer solution helps you build trust with your customers and trading partners by keeping their transmissions safe and on-schedule.
As more and more companies are implementing Managed File Transfer solutions, they often overlook a critical piece in the data protection cycle. This paper explains the role of the gateway, a buffer that resides in the DMZ between trading partners and a company's private network that serves as a proxy for file exchanges, and helps companies meet compliance regulations such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX and state privacy regulations.
Leading edge IT shops are rethinking the use of underlying components within its data transfer arsenal, and are arming themselves to meet the ever changing requirements of PCI DSS and other compliance requirements.
This white paper examines how Managed File Transfer can help companies stay ahead of compliance regulations by keeping data transfers secure while saving time and allowing staff time to be reallocated to other projects.
The healthcare industry is under increasing pressure to make health information more accessible to both patients and healthcare providers, while simultaneously ensuring that patient data remains private and secure.
Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions can provide the security, control, and visibility that can help the healthcare industry address the current challenges related to the electronic transfer of patient files.
As the healthcare industry transitions from primarily using paper documents and patient charts to electronic health records, the need for a secure and reliable method of sharing electronic protected health information (ePHI) has increased.
In this white paper, we present a thorough outline of which HIPAA requirements are addressed by Managed File Transfer and how those requirements are met.
Linoma Software worked in partnership with HealthIT Security to create a highly informative white paper on the technical, administrative and policy expectations that come with HIPAA.
Gain a strong understanding of the types of privacy and security measures that the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) and Office for Civil Rights (OCR) will be looking for so your organization can better prepare for audits.

Behna (Sisters) – by Sonia Likhari
[teaser_large]Black Country Touring is working with Kali Theatre Company and the Birmingham Repertory Theatre to produce Behna in real kitchens.[/teaser_large]
Behna is a play based in a Punjabi household set the day before a family wedding. As the guests are busy eating, singing and dancing, tension is brewing in the kitchen. Truths are told and secrets unfold between two generations of sisters. Fast-paced, funny and moving, Behna looks through the keyhole of a family home to reveal secrets and lies.
[youtube height="344″ width="560″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kK0NuxpqoE[/youtube]
Six homes are hosting the play across the Black Country for their own private guests: of friends, family, neighbours and colleagues.
A live webcast from a kitchen in Wolverhampton will be broadcast at 7pm on Saturday 20 March 2010 at www.bctouring.co.uk/behna
Watch from the comfort of your own computer or call a few friends round and make an evening of it by watching together. To get more involved or for ideas for your own Behna party see Behna Party pack.
Black Country Touring is working with Trilby Multimedia to make the live webcast of Behna possible. It will be a full house of guests, performers, 3 cameras, vision mixer and sound operator – in one large kitchen.
There will be live chat for one hour before and after the performance hosted by Deesho Auntie with questions for the director and cast.
Behna can also be experienced in the flesh from Wednesday 3 to Thursday 18 March at a rented house on Weoley Park Road, Selly Oak in Birmingham.

This production sounds great. I had a group of friends who wanted to see it but unfortunately when we tried to book just a few days ago all the seats had been sold. If there are plans for additional performances or an extended run please let me know…
James, you and your friends can watch a live webcast of the performance from a real home but from the comfort of your own home. Hope you can join us. http://www.bctouring.co.uk/behna

City to begin work on broken watermain on N.E. 85th Street in Kirkland; expect traffic delays
Beginning at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, the City of Kirkland Public Works Department and Frank Coluccio Construction Company will repair a broken watermain on N.E. 85th Street between 122nd Avenue N.E. and 124th Avenue N.E., in the Rose Hill Business District.
The cause of the break/leak is unknown at this time and repair is expected to take approximately one week. Traffic and water pressure impacts are expected during the repair. The following traffic revisions will be in place:
• Westbound travel on N.E. 85th Street between 124th Avenue N.E. and 122nd Avenue N.E. will be reduced to one lane.
• Existing two westbound lanes will be closed and westbound traffic will be diverted to the middle turning lane between 122nd and 124th Avenue N.E.
• No left turn onto southbound 122nd Avenue N.E. during this work.
The city is notifying affected residents and businesses. It is necessary that the water in the affected mainline be rerouted which may result in lower than normal pressure for water customers in the Highlands Neighborhood. For more information or to obtain a vicinity map, contact Noel Hupprich, P.E. at 425-587-3829 or email@example.com.

BTN LiveBig: Indiana gets the spotlight
For example: Caring for the needs of veterans has been at the forefront of a partnership between Indiana's School of Medicine and the Robert L. Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Indianapolis. Dr. Kurt Kroenke and his team work with veterans to explore innovative approaches to combat chronic pain, with the goal of creating a model that can help public and private hospital systems around the country.
Also, Indiana offers students a competition to create a business plan focused on Internet and software technologies through the B.E.S.T. program – Building Entrepreneurs in Software and Technology – which is one of the largest student-based entrepreneurial competitions in the country. Students work together to submit business plans focused on Internet and software technologies, and the first-place winner could earn at least $100,000. IU researchers extend their impact far beyond Bloomington through their work with HIV patients in Kenya.
More than 140,000 patients have been treated through a program called AMPATH, which has expanded to 60 sites throughout the country. Back in the U.S., television icon and IU alum Jane Pauley works with the nation's most underprivileged children at a Harlem organization called The Children's Health Fund. And back home in Bloomington, IU alum Julio Alonso is working to end hunger through his work with the Hoosier Hills Food Bank.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Drivers are asked to reduce their speeds on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in both directions because of wet roads and high winds.
Conditions are slow going on the Staten Island Expressway headed toward the bridge. A large pothole near Lily Pond Avenue has caused at least one lane closure on the Staten Island Expressway heading toward the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge on Monday morning.
The center lane is blocked eastbound on the Staten Island Expressway near Richmond Road, according to the state Department of Transportation. Delays are being reported eastbound on the Staten Island Expressway from the West Shore Expressway entrance to the bridge.
Advance Editor Thomas Checchi reports an SUV and a tractor-trailer truck among the vehicles with flat or damaged tires on the expressway heading eastbound between Bradley Avenue and Clove Road.
Dozens of Brooklyn-bound motorists fell prey to tire-shredding potholes on the Staten Island Expressway Sunday night.

Former "American Idol" contestant Bucky Covington has been quite busy lately. Besides the September release of his sophomore album "Good Guys," he has also joined forces with Help the Good Guys and Kidde for the "Be a Hero, Save a Hero" campaign. Bucky took some time out to chat with CMTT about the work he is doing to assist firefighters, his entertaining new video, who he would like to see in the "American Idol" judges chair and plans for his next album!
CMTT: You are involved with the "Be a Hero, Save a Hero" campaign, can you tell us a little bit about this?
Bucky Covington: It is a wonderful program I got involved with about a year ago. I started thinking I wanted an organization to be a part of, something I could really become involved with. So I hooked up with Help the Good Guys and we raise awareness and provide immediate financial relief for firefighters and their families who have been injured on duty. These guys go into a fire and sometimes end up getting hurt, then can't work and lose their house, cars and everything else. Through that we then also hooked up with Kidde and that became the "Be a Hero, Save a Hero" program. This is a really great program because we have found that most of the time when a firefighter gets injured it's because someone is stuck in the building. A way people can help make sure they would get out of the building is to check your smoke alarms and put new batteries in your smoke alarms. A 5 dollar battery in a 20 dollar smoke alarm will get you and your family out of the house plus that firefighter you don't know does not have to go into the house.
CMTT: Your sophomore album, "Good Guys" came out September 11th was that release date chosen as a tribute to the 9/11 fallen firefighters?
Bucky Covington: Yes it was. In addition we also gave a portion of the proceeds of the first week's sales to the Help The Good Guys program to raise money for firefighters all over the U.S.A and Canada.
CMTT: I read you were invited to attend the 2012 Tour of Duty event at Ground Zero on September 11th, what was that like?
Bucky Covington: That was breathtaking. I had been to New York, but I had always been busy and not really had the chance to see much. Being there for this was completely awesome, I got to see the Freedom Tower, which every night lights up red, white and blue. It is really just absolutely breathtaking. The coolest thing about it is seeing everyone in New York all come together. You see everybody from all walks of life, all smiling and getting along peacefully. If everyone could get along like I saw in New York we would be on to something.
CMTT: The new single "Drinking Side of Country" is a duet with Shooter Jennings, the video has been a big hit…. can you tell us a little bit about it?
Bucky Covington: It was a song I co-wrote with my twin brother Rocky Covington and I also produced the song. I brought Shooter Jennings in to duet with me because I just love collaborations. I have known Shooter for a while and he is just as real as real can be, what you see is what you get. We shot the video in Kentucky and decided to do a Duke's of Hazards theme. As soon as we decided on Dukes of Hazards I immediately thought you can't do it without a Daisy Duke. So I reached out to Kellie Pickler and she joined us on the video to play Daisy Duke, and played it well might I add. Then we also brought it a buddy of mine Cowboy Kenny Bartram the Freestyle Motocrosser, and Mickie James a female impact wrestler to be a part of it. Also just a note, the party scene at the end on the porch, nobody was acting, everybody was hammered! You got a video called "The Drinking Side of Country" so I think everyone just showed up saying "Sure!"
CMTT: Do you still watch American Idol and what do you think about fellow country Artist Keith Urban taking a seat in the judges chair?
Bucky Covington: I catch "American Idol" every so often, it is hard being out on the road and all, but I will try to catch Keith Urban. I am interested to see how he does. I am a huge fan of Keith Urban, I think the guy is SUPER talented. In my personal opinion if you want to get a judge to replace Simon Cowell, I would vote for Judge Judy!
CMTT: What does the rest of 2012 look like for you and what is coming up in 2013?
Bucky Covington: We just released our new album in September, but we still be heading back into the studio to start work on the next one. I have been doing a lot of shopping for songs and writing for the upcoming album. We have our shows coming up so check out the website to see where you can catch us out of the road.
CMTT: Is there anything else you want our readers to know?
Bucky Covington: Yes! I also wanted to add that with Hurricane Sandy over 2,000 firefighters up in the northeast have lost their personal homes and they are still out on the job and helping other people. I wanted to try to do something, so me and the other 2 writers on "Drinking Side of Country" have ALL turned over our writer royalties, so if you buy the song all the money goes to help the firefighters up north. We won't take a penny off of it, so please go check out the song.
For each person who takes the pledge at www.alarmpledge.com and shares it through social media, Kidde will make a donation to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and Help The Good Guys, organizations that are dedicated to helping the families of injured and fallen firefighters.
Be sure to check out Bucky Covington's Album "Good Guys" available now on iTunes!!

Harrisburg City Council on Tuesday night approved plans for the Susquehanna Art Museum in the 1400 block of North Third Street on the condition that city residents share in employment opportunities during the $5.5 million construction project.
The three-story accredited facility will include the 95-year-old former Keystone Trust building and a 25,820-square-foot addition, with a parking lot at 1410 James St. An old addition to the bank building will be demolished.
The council attached a requirement to its approval that all contractors involved in the museum project have a certified compliance officer on staff to ensure that city residents and contractors get some of the jobs.
Harrisburg already requires Minority Business Enterprise and Women's Business Enterprise compliance in city projects, said Councilwoman Susan Brown-Wilson, but "I don't think it's being enforced."
"Historically, contractors have come in and benefitted from projects in the city," said Councilwoman Sandra R. Reid. "We're interested in keeping the revenue in the local economy."
The Susquehanna Art Museum's former main gallery at Market and Third streets closed in December.

Such small tweaks can deliver results. Findings from Shenandoah's two business plans convinced park managers to hire a permanent volunteer coordinator – who increased volunteer work-hours in the park 29 percent in fiscal year 2004, getting for free the equivalent of 29.2 full-time workers. Shenandoah also streamlined waste management. Reducing the number of trash cans at Skyline Drive's scenic overlooks from 75 to 2 saves $30,000 a year on garbage pickups, says park spokesperson Karen Beck Herzog, who adds that littering has not increased as a result. Cutting back on maintenance supervision saved park managers at the Natchez Trace Parkway around $200,000 a year (about 5 percent of costs) – again with no ill effects, according to park sources. Great Smoky Mountains has saved around $300,000 annually by making changes to its auto fleet, economizing on utilities, and pursuing other cost-reducing strategies.
While such savings are promising news – especially in this climate of tight park budgets – it's surprisingly tough to measure the big-picture impact on the NPS bottom line. "It's hard for me to put a dollar figure on it," says Phil Voorhees, a vice president at the NPCA who helped create the Business Plan Initiative. (One NPS staffer offered a "very conservative" estimate that the entire initiative has saved more than $5 million.) Business plans have been useful exercises for park staff, helping them fine-tune operations here and there, and letting them gather data that helps in future cost-cutting and fundraising pursuits. But beyond that, there are as many questions as answers.
It will also be a few years before concessions reform, another area of focus, yields a significant increase in revenue flowing to parks. Thanks to 1998 legislation, many contracts will be rewritten over the next 10 years or so, sending a larger percentage of earnings into the parks themselves. Unfortunately, these contracts are very complicated, so it's taking a long time to get the new, more advantageous deals worked out, and improvements to the bottom line are slow to develop. Between 2000 and 2004, Great Smoky Mountains received only a 3 percent increase in its share of concessions profits; its payout grew from $49,173 to $50,864.

The problem here is that the Wii U is a more expensive home console. The 3DS was pretty much phasing out the DS, which most certainly helped. Even the price point was similar for a while (3DS for $170, DS XL for $190-$180 and DS regular for $150-$130). Yeah it wasn't at first, but it started selling after the drop.
For the Wii U... the Wii didn't have any steam any more by the time it launched. The Wii sales had already slowed down to a crawl with almost no games for it coming out anymore. And then Nintendo comes up with a much more expensive console on the market. So outside of the name confusion, there's that too.
Anyhow, I do think Nintendo could use someone that is more logical when thinking of console names and for the marketing. I'm sure that almost everyone who was at the press conference face-palmed when the 3DS was revealed as the 3DS and it's the same for the Wii U. Anyone would've seen the name confusion problems coming from miles away. Yes, it's good to try and evoke a sense of familiarity, that doesn't mean that you want people to think your new console is just a new version of the old console.

wii u power just of par with 8 years old console.
i dont think people will buy wii u ever.. when ps3 and 360 games selection and online services look far better... unless they priced wii u lower than ps3 and 360.. then it might work

a poor economy is not going to kill video game sales, if anything, some jobless might splurge on a console so they have something to do between having their applications rejected, something to ease the pain of an uncertain future

Please, go outside, enjoy the fresh air, get a girlfriend. All the time you spend in your mom's basement eating Doritos has made you a very angry and unpleasant person. What kind of normal person would spend hours a day trolling the forum of a system they aren't interested in and have nothing to say? The answer is, no normal person. Only a pathetic loser with no social life and no friends would put this much effort into spewing bile about something they don't like. So, do yourself a favor, brush those cheesy crumbs off your bare torso, have a shower, and go out in the real world and try interacting with real humans. But, whatever you do, don't act the way you do around here in public. Being an insufferable a** is sure to get you in trouble.

Nintendo are meeting retailers in the uk to calm fears over this. I'm Pretty sure company's don't do something like that over a sale. They also wouldn't be doing this if the economy is to blame:

So yeah, it's obviously a sale but WHY is a lot of major retailers knocking $50 off ?

I have a small crank up (30 feet) and it looks like this one. I do have it guyed and it has been up for a long time. I've had a TH-3, A-3, 2-el quad, and now a home brew 2 el monobander for 20 on it. I've never had any problems with it and we get some pretty hefty winds here in Coos Bay. I really like the ability to go and crank it down when things get nasty. I have it bracketed to the house and guys on the top. 73. Tom W7WHY This tower was manufactured by Tristao. It uses straight bracing which is a dead give away that it is a GUYED tower. The fact that it is made by Tristao tells us that it is OLD, although the pictures show it to be in good shape. Tristao has been out of business for a LONG time, and now lives under the US Tower banner employing much improved designs. This tower will successfully manage a small tribander and an additional VHF/UHF antenna which is evident by what you see in the pictures. This is a good find and will work fine for amateur radio and hold much more than a TV antenna, if used as described. BE SURE TO GUY IT!

Very Good
In every megaman x game you never just fight Sigma once. I like the movie but it was disappointing that Sigma didn't come back as a disembodied head or a giant robot or something.
i know i know...i got that from a lot of people..sorry
Nice work.
This was really good. Great use of sprites, the animation was really smooth. The pace was good, and it had lots of action. Great job.
thank you
Not Bad
I'm a tough grader but for not being interested in Megaman it looked pretty good. The swearing i dont know if i like ro not i guess it was funny but since im reading it it really doesnt have the same effect. Still a great movie.
hehe welll i alwasy try not to include too much swearing in my movies
Review attached, job well done.
Hello. My name is Mecheatgood and I have reviewed your flash movie thoroughly. Thus naming myself a flash movie critic. Not an official or certified flash movie critic anyway, mined you.
The Speeches
The speech text were flashed at a such fast pace that only an American born person or High School Graduate could read the text above the characters heads. If the viewer tried to make out a word that the viewer did not know, the time that took the viewer to make out the word would be enough time for 3 to 5 speech text to appear, thus placing the person behind, lost, baffled, and ultimately, dismayed. Try having Text box toward the top of the movie screen like the way Mega Man X 1 has it. The character' s face in the text box would also be great. Another thing, when a character speaks in their head the characters words come out italicized.
Destruction of the Mavericks
X and Zero were destroying Mavericks with only a two or less cannon blast and beam sword swipes. Everyone knows that X and Zero are not capable of accomplish that on there own. Maybe if you added a part to your movie where X and Zero found a secret item that is the weakness to all factory produced Maverick, then a cannon blast and sword swipe leading to destruction makes sense.
Preview Appearance?
In the beginning of the flash movie there was a preview I believe. It said something about "a better human race..." "they succeed..." "Coming fall of 2003..." and "X4..." I couldn't tell whether it was the prologue to the movie or a preview. Maybe you could copy that green screen that says, "The following preview is appropriate for all viewers". Following that you could have, "Now our feature presentation."
Vile's Apparition
Why did suddenly Vile appear? I have seen the other past movies and Vile didn't have anything to do with the movie any of the movies. Viles appearance was unaccounted for.
When Sigma held Bass and was bringing him to death, the non-antagonist would never sacrifice a life to get the upper hand. That would not happen under any situation.
Speech composition
!? is acceptable in professional writing but !!! or ??? is not. Also just before Sigma blast Bass, Sigma said, "Useless robot..." but in the movie what is displayed over Sigma's character is Bass: Useless robot...
Unclear story
In the beginning of the movie, there are 6 characters to be viewed. When the viewer enters the movie, the viewer does not know what is going on. A prologue to the movie is necessary because this is a continuation of past episodes. The author or the critic does not need an intro because they are the researches and the architect of the movie. Everyone else viewing the movie isn't. Therefore they need an explanation of the past events. Or the viewers won't be able to follow the story and have to be guessing throughout the movie what might be going on, who is the antagonist and who is not, what the character is talking about, and so much more. Avoid the confusion. Add a prologue. Maybe flash a few scenes from past movies or have a narrative written black faced introduction scene.
X's and Zero's Glory
X and Zero fought the factory produced Maverick army thus giving them fame and glory. The flash movie was titled Mega Man and X therefore the battle should have been X and Mega Man as the triumphits, not Zero and X. Even in spite of the fact that Zero may be favored more than the original Mega Man.
In conclusion
The movie was a job well done. Hopefully this review will do some help instead of damage. I have placed this review on Newgrounds and have sent a copy to your email address. Again, job well done. Keep up the good work.

The festival, hosted by Alabama State University's National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African-American Culture, began at 9 a.m. and will start its last screening at 9 p.m.
Joseph Trimble, a consultant for the National Center, says the goal of the film festival is to spark conversation among viewers about social issues.
"It's a part of the center's mission to spur dialogue among the black community as well as the whole community," said Trimble.
Among the films shown at the festival is "Undefeated," which won the 2011 Academy Award for Best Documentary. The film tells the story of a Tennessee High School football team trying to overcome problems on and off the field.
A short documentary titled "Behind the Barber's Chair: The Nelson Malden Story" also attracted attention since it captures a Montgomery barber's experience during the civil rights movement.
Chad Fishers, a Montgomery resident, says he attends the film festival every year because of films like "Behind the Barber's Chair."
"I'm interested in hearing more about the Civil Rights Movement in Montgomery," said Fisher.
Several local restaurants, like Tomatinos Pizza, Sinclair's and Isaiah's, donated food to the film festival so attendees would be able to try various types of cuisine in between films.
Overall, the festival will show 11 films selected from submissions as well as from other film festivals around the nation. Trimble says they look for films with a specific message.
"We're in a media culture," said Trimble. "We can shape and form the images that impact us."
The Black Film Festival is always the last Saturday of August. The Capri Theatre is located at 1045 East Fairview Avenue.

He sued my father-in-laws business, even though he never stopped in, never attempted to enter the building, and never purchased anything. This "lawsuit" almost ruined his business and forced him to lay off over half of his employees to cover costs to renovate buliding and settle.

For Super Bowl visitors arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport, the volunteers in the ubiquitous yellow jackets create the first impression of New Jersey.
Putting a good face on a state some might only know through obnoxious characters or fictional mob goons on "Jersey Shore" and "The Sopranos" are the Super Bowl ambassadors, enlisted at New Jersey airports, train stations and hotels to help visitors navigate the nation's most congested region.
They wear bright jackets, give a megawatt smile that could cheer Oscar the Grouch and provide answers to those all-important questions:
Where's the restroom? Where's the ATM? Where can I eat? Where can I smoke? Where's the taxi?
Maureen Gilchrist of Ramsey is among the 12,000 Super Bowl Host Committee volunteers.
This week, she has greeted visitors at Newark and Teterboro airports.
She violated uniform code by accenting her yellow jacket with blue earrings for her beloved New York Giants.
Two years ago, when she went to see the Giants play in the Super Bowl in Indianapolis, Gilchrist relied on the volunteers wearing teal jackets (the color changes annually) for directions to a steakhouse and other locations.
"It was very helpful," she said. "That's why I wanted to do it."
Gilchrist remembered the lasting image she got from a volunteer at the airport in Indianapolis.
"When I was leaving, she was in the airport, high-fiving everybody," she said.
So Gilchrist signed up to volunteer in her home state 13 months ago, putting in for Newark Airport.
Volunteer Winsome McCoy of West Orange — she explained her first name was spelled "Winsome, as in win some, lose some" — called a hotel to help find a shuttle for a Marine.
"Just helping people is fun," she said from Terminal C. "It's sad when people come to your city and they get lost with no help."
McCoy gave a Super Bowl "warm welcome" package that included a hand warmer and a pocket guide with regional transit map to Kelly Kosky, a 63-year-old amputee wearing a Broncos sweatshirt as he arrived in Newark.
"I'm excited. It's my first Super Bowl," said Kosky, who said the National Football League gave him tickets at a good price for being a disabled veteran.
"Thanks to the NFL for making this dream happen," he said.
"Welcome to New Jersey — or welcome home," volunteers said as people arrived on their flights.
The volunteers with "Ask Me" signs also have been stationed at the Newark Penn Station transit hub (many of the volunteers NJ Transit employees), at events such as the frigid Goo Goo Dolls concert at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, and on Super Bowl Boulevard in Manhattan.
NFL executive vice president Eric Grubman, a New Jersey native, said the ambassadors "are designed to be a friendly face with ready information."
"Most travelers who need information when they come into the tri-state area, they can stop a stranger on the street and get information — you see it all the time," he said.
"But it's different when somebody's there. They're visible, they're wearing what you expect them to wear, they're incredibly friendly, they're incredibly nice. You can breathe a sigh of relief. You don't have to look around, it's all there for you."
After a group of volunteers at Major League Baseball's All-Star festivities in New York last summer sued for compensation, the NFL agreed to pay 1,500 Super Bowl ambassadors, with the other 12,000 volunteers signing a waiver agreeing not to pursue a class-action suit.
Volunteers are 18 years old and up and work a minimum of two shifts of at least three hours. They get to keep the yellow jackets with sponsor Visa on the arm, but do not get tickets to the game
Newark Airport has added other touches in anticipation of the Super Bowl, including a "Fan Zone" in Terminal B that lets visitors toss footballs and beanbags.
The airport still has its highly trained red-coat customer care representatives such as Hiram Arocho and Elise Germain, who go by the 10 and 5 rule — have to make eye contact with a visitor within 10 feet and communicate with the guest within 5 feet.
"We want to give a smile, we want to make them feel welcome," Arocho said. "Sometimes the image of New Jersey scares people. When we greet them with a smile, it tends to change their feeling of coming here."

PHOTOS: An Illustrated Guide to the Folsom Street Fair
GRATUITOUS SKIN — On Sunday, the gays gathered in San Francisco for their annual Conservative Scarefest, otherwise known as the Folsom Street Fair. Yes, exposed penises and breasts were on display. And yes, the city sanctions this sort of thing, but they probably have "no comment" on the public sex acts that go down in between the nipple play and paddling. Herewith, a photo gallery featuring an assortment of human wonderment. And crotches. Some photos may be NSFW, but we did our best to limit outright nudity. (Photos: Le Fag/Joey DeRuy, Darwin Bell, pub ajax, Mushrie, istolethetv, darwin jr)
God I wish I lived anywhere near there. I always hear about it, but can never go.
This looks like a gay superhero convention. I wish we had stuff like this in my neck of the woods.
what a freakshow!! some people need not go shirtless…yuk
I know Jwalker666 but your Dad insisted on taking his off.
@jwalker666: It is a freak show of people in slave harnesses and breath-control devices and chastity cages, who on the other side of their mouth say that they want to be be treated as equals.
#5, guy in the black jeans…FFWWWWOOOOOAAAAR!
@Fitz: so if you are into breath control devices and slave harnesses then you forgo your right to be treated as an equal? nice…
Folsom fair is a collection of narcissists and fetishists. It's got nothing to do with gay rights. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that many of those who attend Folsom don't give a rat's about gay rights.
It's just as tacky as the Playboy Mansion.
LOL, back at the start of this decade I lived 1 1/2 blocks from the fairs location. Once I was going home on MUNI from work and these two doofus' in assless chaps, one of 'em on a leash, wanted to get on the bus to get to the Folsom Fair, but the bus had toddlers present. Thankfully the bus driver told them they couldn't get on and they walked off in a huff.
I'm not against the fair at all, I've been twice and found it to be a relaxed and fun event, but all it takes is the small few with too little brain functioning to ruin something for all potentially.
I forgot to add that my point was that the Ann Arbor 'Naked Mile' got cancelled due to uptight right-wingers who didn't even live in the city in question, but they made a stink and ruined the harmless fun. There's my analogy.
My super bitchy neighbor was getting ready for weeks for Folsom Street Fair. Modeling one sleazy outfit after another out on her balcony. Making potential costumes by spray painting epaulets and stretching leather straps and forcing her self into rubber garments. It was worth you tubing. But I didn't. It does prove however that most of the fair is about some kind of image that is usually not backed up with any substance. My neighbor drops a purse every time he speaks and it sounds like steam escaping. I don't think I have ever heard him say something that wasn't 100% gossip or trashing someone. I'm sure he got lots of attention at the fair because he looks like a total top. At home though it's the helium heels syndrome. LOL.
@kevin vancouver: Yes, absolutely. Zero need for me (or others) to respect the human rights of someone who sees themselves as less than human.
@Latebrosus The guy in black jeans in #5 is hot and looks a lot like Adam Lambert's boyfriend. Here's another pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/darwinjr/3962816260/in/set-72157622348188931/
No. 7 · kevin vancouver: So very strange that people concerned about human equality regardless of sexuality, know 0 about human sexuality. Sad: I accept even the ignorant queens in the movement as part of our community.
It's funny too some of the hotest men in the City are into S/M.
Not for pansys.
Depressing that S&M has been sanitized for everyone's protection. These pics represent a caricature of deviant behavior. S&M is not "Stand & Model".
By far, and by far I mean from here to the sun, the best published photo set of the fair I have seen. Hats off to whomever took the time to put this together. But ONLY hats off, in my case.
i like that blue, plaid skirt in the 1st pic. That dude is rockin' it!!!
I went last year and it was fun. I like to sit and watch people anyway, even in airports. There were alot of bears looking like Andrew Sullivan, laughing, drinking beer, doing their thing pissing on each other.
1, 5 (guy in the black jeans), 6 (guy in the other black jeans!) and 27 are the best,
WOW! I came here to see if there were any Folsom shots posted and found out that there were! And alot of them i took! Totally thrilled! Thanks whoever chose them!
It has always baffled me how people do this stuff. I would be more worried about losing my job than showing off my disco stick in the street. And in San Francisco, on of the most expensive cities in the country, how do these people live these lifestyles while affording to survive?
@Charles Merrill: Yes, nothing says "I demand equal rights" like having people piss on you in the street.
@Fitz: I agree but I don't think they are fighting for the repeal of DOMA, DADT, ENDA or think it is a "pride" event. It's an adult gay fetish party on a public street in SF. Period.
@Phil and @Latebrosus
The guy in the black jeans in #5 is most definitely not Adam Lambert's boyfriend. (His bf is the tall black guy in the back of the photo). Also, he's Canadian and from Winnipeg. I'll let him know that you guys think he's hot.
Can you believe after all this craziness, Castro Street Fair is this Sunday.
@Charles Merrill: Yeah, because straight people at talkgating parties, or spring break or just about anywhere else, behave like Ozzie and Harriet.
Dude, people wear all kinds of hats. Sometimes, people are sex pigs. Sometimes, people are well-behaved professionals. And sometimes they're political activists.
Why do you have a problem with that? I suspect you have "issues."
BTW, I was at Folsom last year, and the kinkiest people were mostly straight. I guess they don't deserve equal rights!
I like the cupcake hat, now there's a costume – and a man – after my own heart.
@hardmannyc: Yea, sure. Whatever.
These guys are celebrating an important party of human sexuality. The only thing historically that has made sex "nice" is Religion, and a denial of passion. All good sex is S/M to a degree otherwise you would enjoy somkeone falling asleeop having sex with you.. Like some of us are put together gay we also have particular sexual proclivities beyond fetishes, that relate to them. Like all sex, it has to do with power relations.
I used to work near Folsom st. It's a fun event even if though pretty corny. Glad to see someone still representing from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
ok. i actually went thru all the pictures. Cupcake hat was hilarious. Love it.
Dude in last picture is beautiful.
It looks like a fun, interesting event. I have a straight friend in SF who's been to it and I was like, WHAT? But it's like the Halloween parade in NYC, lots of tourists. It becomes a tourist attraction more than an S&M event, it seems. I've got to check it out sometime.
@hardmannyc: What? You misunderstood me. I am saying it is a party not a political rally. I am not against partying.
Yeah you did, I'm not sure why that was aimed at you instead of Fitz?
Who I HOPE goes on all those straight sites saying the same stuff! Considering that it's bigger with straight people to be deviant in bed and dress up!
I'm actually reading 'Venus in Furs' by Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch
The term 'Masochistic' was defined in the late 17th century after this dude Leopold.
Furthermore, if you read 'Venus' OR any of his books, there is NO mention of gays-at all! Simply the sadistic submissive vs controlling sexual relationship between women-the controllers and men-the submissives.
So erm Fitz…use your energies against straights-they started it! Even D H Lawrence or E M Forster (Same centuries) couldn't come up with anything as close to the bone when they wrote about man on man action…
Actually, sorry to be educated about this but the whole concept of S&M was significant because of the female-dom and male-sub roles, in a society were Men have to be in control and power and were women must just smile and not be 'seen', therefore the sexual high came from this 'role reversal'..
So really with men on men, it's not as offensive, mysogonistic or powerful. In facts it's so personal to the couple that to me, doesn't really offend me. There is more of an equalness there..
How fitting in one picture you sum up the very reasons the homosexual community will never be accepted by the mainstream.
To allow such behavior, committed in public, to define your movement is all I need to ensure that homosexuality will continue to be considered a perversion of all that is acceptable.
And what do you have to say about Mardi Gras or spring break in Cancun? Damn heterosexuals.
How about I say they are just as peverted and disgusting as you are, with the cavet they aren't trying to get special laws passed to grant them "equality". They areadly have that.
@No. 34 · scott ny'er : S/M sexuality is far more individual and private; I don't think that people would publicly engage in something so intense.
I don't get the title "Conservative Scarefest" implication. Other than that political consevatives abuse people for economic reasons but that's not the idea here.

Washington -- British Prime Minister David Cameron agreed Tuesday night to consider investigating Scotland's release of the Lockerbie bomber after the senators from New York and New Jersey made a personal appeal for his help.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said the small breakthrough came at a meeting at the British Embassy in Washington with Cameron and the four senators.
"We really got the sincere impression he was not just going through the motions," Schumer said outside the British Embassy after meeting with Cameron for almost an hour. "He was not just giving us the back of his hand."
Schumer and U.S. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. and Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said the prime minister agreed that a full, independent investigation was not off the table.
Until the meeting, Cameron spent most of Tuesday turning aside U.S. calls to investigate the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the Libyan agent convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988.
The terror attack killed 270 people, including 35 Syracuse University students returning from a semester abroad and five others with ties to Central New York.
Cameron, making his first visit to the United States, said earlier in the day at the White House that there was no indication oil giant BP had swayed the controversial decision to free al-Megrahi.
The cancer-stricken Libyan agent was released from a Scottish prison in August 2009 after doctors said he had only three months to live. Earlier this month, one of the doctors said he could live for years.
Schumer and the other senators said that fact, combined with reports that BP may have lobbied for al-Megrahi's release in exchange for a $900 million Libyan oil-drilling contract, is enough reason to begin an investigation.
Earlier in the day at the White House, both Cameron and President Barack Obama condemned al-Megrahi's early release from prison.
Cameron, however, said the release was not prompted by the British government nor the result of any lobbying by BP, Britain's largest company, to win oil concessions from Libya.
Rather, Cameron said, it was a decision by the government of Scotland on "compassionate" grounds – a decision he disagreed with.
"It was the biggest mass murder in British history, and there was no business letting him out of prison," Cameron said.
Cameron said his government would review previously-released information about the decision to release al-Megrahi. He told reporters at the White House there is no need for a new investigation because, "I don't need an inquiry to tell me it was a bad decision."
He apparently modified his position in the evening after hearing from Schumer, Gillibrand and the New Jersey senators who represent many of the victims' families.
"The prime minister listened to our request and said that a full investigation was not off the table," Schumer said, joined by the other three senators after the meeting with Cameron.
A BBC television reporter aggressively questioned the senators, demanding evidence to support their calls for an investigation.
The reporter said, "You keep saying you are concerned about the climate of suspicion, but the climate of suspicion is you four," referring to the senators. He asked why they doubt the explanations from the Scottish government and BP about the circumstances surrounding al-Megrahi's release.
Schumer, visibly upset, stepped forward and said, "Sir, let me say something. Talk to the families who have lost loved ones. Ask them if they're suspicious. Ask them if they believe all of these (explanations). We have. I don't know if you have, but we have."
He added, "Certainly there's enough evidence for a full, thorough and impartial investigation."
Gillibrand agreed.
"There is so much new evidence -- circumstantial evidence -- that justice may not have been done in this case," she said. "We need a full review. It needs to be independent. It needs to go beyond the written record."
Schumer appeared at Syracuse University on Monday with some of the families to call for an independent British investigation as well as hearings in Congress. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee agreed to begin with a public hearing July 29.
Obama said Tuesday he was disappointed by the decision to release the Libyan agent, but he stopped short of demanding an investigation by the British government or Congress.
"I think all of us here in the United States were surprised, disappointed, and angry about the release of the Lockerbie bomber," Obama said, adding that he would "welcome any additional information that will give us insights and a better understanding of why the decision was made."
