So we will get started now. Just to introduce for those of you who don't know me, it's [Aaron Peller], I work with Bruce  Harding covering SallieMae. But we are happy to have SallieMae with us today after legislative changes described last year to a different funding profile, both of which has changed the profitability of the industry and clearly reduced competition. We find SallieMae in the industry, overall, in perhaps even a more opportune place now than maybe this time last year. Clearly it's a different place to be. A different industry, different company to some extent. So but we are obviously very glad to have with us today, the CEO, Al Lord, to make some comments and the CFO, Jack Remondi, who is maybe going to answer some questions as well. So with that, thanks for being here. ...

(BBB-/Stable/A-3) will not be affected by the company's second-quarter earnings announcement. SLM Corp. reported adequate earnings supported by solid asset quality metrics for the quarter. There is also evidence of declining funding costs and increasing availability of funding. Core earnings net income of $156 million was slightly down from the linked quarter of 2008 and the comparable quarter in 2007, due somewhat to restructuring charges. Compared to the prior quarter, the company's managed private education loan portfolio exhibited lower levels of both delinquency and forbearance. We see this as encouraging given the increasing financial stress in the consumer sector.
