Okay, great. Good morning. I have a question that I want to focus on Europe here, the EMEA region, and really the extent of the decline you expect for the year. You mentioned you do expect a decline in bracketed range of $30 million, though, if you look at Q1 revenues down I think around 27% year over year. I wonder if you could talk about the magnitude of the decline you expect, and also maybe sharpen the focus on the drivers there. Given you have direct competitors describing the European CapEx environment as "rock solid" last week and really reports from the major carriers supporting that, I wonder exactly what you're referring to with regards to broader macro issues driving spending and whether we are really looking at a pretty specific market share and execution situation for Ciena in EMEA in 2016. Thanks.
Gary B. Smith - President, Chief Executive Officer & Director: Tim, let me take that. The quick summary to it, it's more the latter comment that you made, frankly. Let me go back to the overall numbers. We expect it to be about $30 million down from where we'd originally thought for the year. And again, I would stress that's a photograph in time. We've got eight months through this, but that's our best perspective on the balance of probabilities right now. So overall, last year we did about $400 million in EMEA, I would expect it to be flat to down from that number by the time we get to the end of the year. My overall view of the market, I would concur with some of the other commentaries that you've heard from other players frankly. I'm reasonably positive about Europe and I think it is growing, and it will grow in 2016. And I think in absolute terms, we will probably lose a little bit of share this year based on the pure math, if that is the outcome. Specific to us are really two issues, Tim. One, the particular large carriers that we have there are having some CapEx issues this year, predominantly related to things like M&A. I expect that to be somewhat short term, but that is overly impacting us as opposed to potentially some others. And secondly, there are some opportunities around coverage into some of these new opportunities that I think we can do better at, and we've addressed that as an issue. I'm pleased with the plan that we have in place and we're executing on that, and we're seeing some good positive increase in opportunities and engagement. But frankly, I don't think it will come quickly enough into the second half. Now that being said, I do think you will see improvement in Europe in our performance in the second half. So we are confident that we'll see revenue growth in the second half on the first half.
