Thank you Antonio and good morning everyone.

Our Construction Products Group had a good quarter posting operating profit of $20.3 million. These results continue to be driven by the performance of our highway products business coupled with construction-friendly weather.

On the concrete and aggregate side, we continued to see weak demand. During the quarter we divested of our East Texas asphalt business and a single Ready Mix plant in Louisiana. We considered these assets not to be core to the operations. The result was a one-time gain of $3.8 million. The divested assets represented approximately $40 million in annual revenue.

Moving to the Inland Barge Group.... During the third quarter we received orders of $264 million dollars, bringing our backlog to $516 million. We consider most of these orders to be replacement orders for aging equipment. This level of backlog helps provides a strong sense of clarity for 2011. During the third quarter, we incurred approximately $500 thousand in costs, not covered by our insurance policies, related to the flooding at our Tennessee barge plant. The plant is now operating at normal production levels. I continue to be pleased with our performance in this challenging economic climate.

And now I turn the presentation back to James.
