Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Nike’s fiscal 2007 first quarter conference call. For those of you who need to reference today’s press release, you will find it at www.nikebiz.com -- that’s www.nike, n-i-k-e, biz, b-i-z,.com. Leading today’s call will be Pamela Catlett, Vice President of Investor Relations. Before I turn the conference over to Ms. Catlett, please let me remind you that the participants in this call will make forward-looking statements based on current expectations, and those statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties are detailed in the reports filed with the SEC, including Forms 8-K, 10-K, and 10-Q. Some forward-looking statements concern future orders that are not necessarily indicative of changes in total revenues for subsequent periods, due to the mix of futures and at-once order, exchange rate fluctuations, order cancellations and discounts, which may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition, it is important to remember a significant portion of Nike Incorporated’s business includes equipment, most of Nike retail, Nike Golf, Converse, Cole Haan, Nike Bauer Hockey, Hurley and Exeter Brands group are not included in these futures numbers. Finally, our participants may discuss non-GAAP financial measures. A presentation of comparable GAAP measures and quantitative reconciliations can also be found at Nike’s website. This call might also include discussion of non-public financial and statistical information, which is also publicly available on that site, www.nikebiz.com. Now I would like to turn the conference over to Pam Catlett, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
