Remarks by the Vice-Chair DR. CROW: Well, let's get this meeting underway. If it's not apparent, I'm not Justice Abrahamson. I'm substituting for her, and I'll explain why. It's not hard to explain why. Shirley -- I can't keep from calling her that, because I knew her when she was a graduate student and her husband was a post-doc in my lab -- she is up for reelection as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and I think she has rationally concluded that there are more votes in Wisconsin than there are here and that she'd better stay home and accumulate them, and if it isn't being too partisan, I'd like to announce that I hope she wins. Welcome to everybody. I'd like to welcome each of you individually, but I don't know all the names, and I want to get the program underway. Well, that constitutes my introductory remarks, which were allotted 15 minutes, and if everybody else can stay on the schedule that well, this will be a successful meeting. Chris, it's yours.
