As Charles reminded me, don't take it personally when you follow United,  and half the room follows them to their breakout sessions. A little bit different crowd here than the previous presentation, but that is part of life in Coventry. Again, thank you -- you get no respect from (inaudible). Exactly. Again, thank you all for your interest this morning. As always, I would remind you to take notice of the forward-looking statement disclosure here today. I obviously will be making some forward-looking statements, and as I am often reminded, usually by my family, I could be wrong. So with that, let me move to what I'm going to cover today. I'm going to just start off with a quick recap of Q#. I won't spend a lot of time on that, because I want to spend the balance of my time talking about some of the key growth levers that we have at work in Coventry today. EPS and the bottom line, as you know, is at the heart...

Standard&amp;Poor's believes the magnitude of the adjustment to be very modest relative to our expectation, and prior-period reserve development remains in line with previously established estimates. Overall, Coventry's underlying operations remain fundamentally sound. However, lower premium yields tied to the group mix and somewhat leaner benefit arrangements are moderately pressuring top-line growth. Nevertheless, we expect Coventry's revenue for 2008 to be significantly higher than that of the prior year, mainly because of the full-year impact of acquired operations.
