Maybe I should clarify for everybody's sake the total positions that we are anticipating that could be gone are 530. Out of that, 92 of them will go to boards so the net position reductions is 438. All reductions are across the board. The 92 that will be transferred to boards is also across the board. Again, I stress to you and I think it is important to stress, because it is a serious issue, this we are going to try to manage our way as best we can to reduce, as much as we can, the layoffs that are anticipated through a series of initiatives as I said earlier. Whether it is looking for new jobs, re-educating and retraining, or in some cases, severance packages. Thank you.
