Well, they sure got this big state's contract-- though I guess we're
small 
potatoes (or is that apples?  sounds like a test question) compared to
the 
big boys of TX, CA and NJ.  Anyone know the K-12 student count in NJ? 
Our 5 
year Riverside contract is for 62 mil. + or - change, and that's the
second 
one.  NCS Pearson was grading WASL, but is that still the case, Art? 
They 
may have been subcontracted.  I need to do some bids and contract
studying 
again.  But it's just such dull work.  Not nearly as interesting as the

emails about *tehe* 65% profits for professional development or theft
of 
calibration sets from the scoring camp or even itemized OSPI monthly
airfare 
expense sheets.
