We are embarking on a new era and we need everyone's cooperation.

We are working in close cooperation with Pakistani officials. Mr. Pearl should be released immediately and unconditionally. His continued detention is no help to the cause of those who hold him.

He was an outstanding young gentleman. He always went above and beyond and would go out of his way to help others.

We had about 15 people come and once we started showing them how to use it, they were very, very positive about it. It was fun for them and they actually enjoyed casting ballots on it. No one had anything negative to say after they had tried it and I think that surprised them.

We are working to resolve issues and we hope to have it ironed out by the end of the week. We have to have it ready by May 16 (primary election).

Pop music doesn't always give a vocal group like ours the opportunity to utilize four-part harmony so this is our chance to pull out the stops vocally. Honestly, its one of the most exciting records we get to make.
