[USML Announce] USML - League Update

[Andrew R. Klein]

Thanks for sorting this out, Mark.  Two things ...

1.  My O'Flaherty bid was $7, so Jeff should get him for $8.

2.  Will we be able to see all of the other bids?  Last year, it was 
incumbent on winning bidders to inform Mark of corrections to salary.  
Will we be able to do that this year, or do only commissioners see the 
full list of bids?
