Why don't we get started and we will just let people filter in here? Thanks for joining us. My name is Jeff Klinefelter, senior analyst  with Piper Jaffray, and very pleased today to have Columbia Sportswear joining us for a presentation. Bryan Timm, the Chief Operating Officer, along with Ron Parham, Director of Investor Relations. Bryan is going to share his thoughts on some strategic overview of the Company and time permitting we will take a few questions at the end. But more than likely we will just go down the hall here and take a more informal Q&amp;A following their prepared comments. So with that let me turn it over to Bryan. ...

With us today we have Tim Boyle, President and CEO  of Columbia, and Ron Parham, Director of Investor Relations. Columbia's undergoing a lot of change within the organization and I think Tim's going to speak to many of the changes. And one of the things from our perspective that we see today is that this environment remains very tough, and I think during a tough environment, provide the opportunity to make changes and make the tough changes that Columbia's undergoing as we see today. The balance sheet I think is one of the strongest out there. Rock solid and Tim has been around for a few years with this one, so I'd like to turn this over to Mr. Boyle to begin the presentation. Thanks for coming today. ...

Then, Tim serves as Columbia's President and CEO since ####.
