Good morning, everyone, and welcome to General Cable's second quarter 2010 earnings conference call. I'm Len Texter, Manager, Investor Relations at General Cable. Joining me this morning are Greg Kenny, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Brian Robinson, our Chief Financial Officer; and Greg Lampert, our President and Chief Executive Officer of General Cable North America.

Many of you have already seen a copy of our press release from last night. For those of you who have not, it is available on First Call and on our website at generalcable.com. I want to call your attention to our Safe Harbor provisions for forward-looking statements that can be found at the end of our press release. The Safe Harbor provision identifies risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the content of our forward-looking statements. Our current reports, 10-K and other periodic filings on file with the SEC provide further detail about the risk factors related to our business.
