LAWRENCE S. MAKOW: Good afternoon. It always seems like we run out of time at the end for questions. So I decided I would see if there any questions for this panel first. All right, that was pretty lame. I wanted to basically just say a few short words. This panel is a look at the current state of financial institution M&A and restructuring. We'll have to use a microscope to see it. But no, I think there's a lot of interesting things going on, ...

HOWARD PIANKO: OK, we're waiting for the technological go-ahead, and I guess we have it. In this next panel, we'll kind of circle back a bit and revisit some of the concepts.
