Thank you. Good morning, everyone. This is Charis Warshof, Vice President of Investor Relations. Thank you for participating in Home Properties fourth quarter 2008 earnings conference call.

Here with me this morning are Ed Pettinella, President and CEO, and David Gardner, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. You can listen to the call and view slides on our web site at homeproperties.com. We also have posted our news release, supplemental schedules and a PDF of the slides on the web site. The call replay and script will be posted later. We have a new vendor hosting the webcast this year, so if you are participating on the call via the webcast, you will need to advance the slides yourself as we go through the presentation. The slides won’t advance automatically anymore. We’ll keep you posted on which slide we’re on.
