I see we also have Paul Clancy, the Company's Chief Financial Officer; Elizabeth Woo, Vice President, Investor Relations; and Eric Hoffman, Director of Investor Relations. So we have the whole Biotech -- the whole Cowen -- excuse me, the whole Biogen team here. And Jim says he should have some time to take your questions both in this room and if we run over, upstairs in conference room Provincetown, we'll be hosting a further breakout session. So, Jim, please? ...

The company will use proceeds of the debt offering to refinance existing debt. At the same time, Standard&amp;Poor's affirmed all other ratings on Biogen Idec. The outlook is stable. "The ratings on Biogen Idec reflect the company's leading positions in the treatment of cancer and multiple sclerosis, its strong financial profile, and its conservative financial policies," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst Arthur Wong.
