Board of Directors met until a few minutes ago. No decision made re: Artie T's offer to by MB. The only decision made was to keep negotiating. They are losing $10 million per day--probably a write off for them. Workers are hanging tough...no Artie T, no work.

But I think there's still some corporate skullduggery on the way.

Everyone is hoping she does the right thing now and votes to sell MB to Artie T.
