Should've looked earlier.  Their master list of categories 
http://www.usdirectory.com/cat/g0 shows a few commas, a bunch of dashes, 
and the ampersands we talked about.

"OFFICE SERVICES, SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT" gets removed because of the comma.

"AUTOMOBILE - DEALERS" gets removed because of the dash.

I updated your regex and it seems to have fixed it.

orig: (r"^[A-Z\s&]+$")
new : (r"^[A-Z\s&,-]+$")


Thanks again.
