I hope Joel told them to not throw away any of the items which were

Hummm...What is the exchange rate for NZ currency now adays?  What is 
the fair value rate in New Orleans terms...? (ok  just a little satire 
folks)

Actually the report was very well done and seemed to be technically 
acurate for a change.
