It also serves as our Outdoor Americas Coalition office. For those of you who joined us yesterday, I'm glad you were able to make the climbing event with some of The North Face athletes. For those of you who are a little bit sore, I hope that means you had fun. If you were unable to join us yesterday, I know you missed a fun afternoon, and I also welcome everyone joining us by webcast this morning. First announcement, that you might expect, is I would ask all of you to please turn your cell phones and BlackBerries off, not in a quiet mode, but in an off mode, because it does interfere with the webcast.
