Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Plains All American Pipeline fourth quarter and year end 2009 results conference call. Today’s call in addition to reviewing the results of the prior period, participants will provide forward-looking comments on the partnerships outlook for the future, which may include such words as believes, estimates, expects and anticipates or other words that indicate a forward view. The partnership intends to avail itself of Safe Harbor precepts that encourage companies to provide this type of information and directs you to the risks and warnings set forth in Plains All American Pipeline’s most recently filed 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and other current and future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the partnership encourages you to visit the website at www.paalp.com, and in particular, the section entitled non-GAAP reconciliations, which presents certain commonly used non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and EBIT, which may be used here today in the prepared remarks or in the Q-and-A session. This section of the website also reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and includes a table of selected items that impact comparability with respect to the Partnership’s reported financial information. In reference during today’s call to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and the like is a reference to the financial measures, excluding the effects of selected items impacting comparability. Today’s conference will be chaired by Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American Pipeline. Also participating in the call are Harry Pefanis, Plains All American’s President and COO; and Al Swanson, Plains All American’s Senior Vice President and CFO. Today’s conference will also include a Q-and-A session. Instructions will be given at that time. As a reminder today’s conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Mr. Greg Armstrong; please go ahead, sir.
