Benjamin Whitman Mayo - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Equity Research Analyst of Healthcare Facilities and Managed CareThought we might just get kicked off here. Sam, I think one of the more recent notable acquisitions or developments has been the announcement to acquire the Galen school of nursing. Maybe just spend a minute talking about what does transaction means to you. I don't think it's the first time you've talked about some affiliation with a larger nurse organization in the past, just how you think about this in terms of your enterprise-wide nursing strategy.
