  5. ARLO is up and working. So far they have done 25 articles over the past 6 months. A "fast-track" way to get new information published. Still need authors and reviewers (reviewers are entered into a drawing for a laptop computer).
  6. ASA Foundation: Currently has $312,753 with another $170,000 in pledges. Looking for more donors especially in the area of "uncommitted" funding.
