1. We note from your response to comment three of our letter dated September 3, 2010 that you believe adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure you consider important to the readers of your financial statements. Please tell us why you do not discuss and analyze adjusted EBITDA in your filings considering its importance to readers of your financial statements.

2. We note that you reconcile adjusted EBITDA to income from operations. We generally believe that net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA when it is used as a performance measure. Please reconcile adjusted EBITDA to net income or tell us why you do not believe it is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
