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.

SPEAKER 1: All right, let's move into the next and final panel, and I would say we've saved the best for last except that would perhaps degrade what we've had so far.
