We've negotiated a conference rate with the Luskin Center which is lower 
that the ones available directly. But there are two other official 
housing options, so I'm waiting to present them all at once.

Aside from price, there are other considerations between the three 
facilities, which will be presented in some detail.

I hope the other contracts are signed soon, so that we announce housing 
details this week. (But frankly it might take a bit longer.) We are 
working to get the information out as quickly as possible.
