Many, I'm sure. The next page, the slide 9, looming fiscal cliff, $15 million budget gap, that has been talked about in the press. We avoided the cliff this year by using one-time funding specifically from some legacy MLNP accounts as well as an increased general government dividend from Anchorage Hydropower, which is the utility result of the MLNP sale. And we also reduced vacant positions within a handful of departments that were either deemed duplicative to current processes or were proposed by the departments to be deleted. That was about $1 million in reductions.
