Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jerome and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Brookdale Senior Living Second Quarter Earnings Release Call. All participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers’ presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session.
