Questions and Answers:
Benjamin Elliot Budish - Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division - Research AnalystMaybe, John, we'll start, kind of just a high-level question. What's the current macro update in terms of what you guys are seeing around the world? In some ways, it feels like the rate outlook is more certain versus a year ago, but in some ways, it feels like the future is even less noble than it ever was. What are your kind of thoughts here?
