Mr. Chairman, if I take one example, on computer chargebacks, in the middle of the year we were asked to pay for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development's share of computer chargebacks, $397,000. This is something we had not budgeted for. So we had to find the money from within Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development The most reasonable way of doing it was to have headquarters pay its share and each of the regions pay their share. The same happened with PeopleSoft, employee liabilities and dental premiums. In future years, these are all added into the salaries and benefits. So we should not have this happening, unless again we get a surprise in the middle of the year.
