Considering everything, I think the picture is a little bit brighter for the second quarter and some of our fears on the economy in context of this soft patch scare are at least slightly alleviated.

The only shoe that still has to drop is the earnings picture, and I think second-quarter earnings are going to be bad. We're going to get a slew of that and I think that's got the market...a little bit more defensive.

About halfway through the second quarter we went cold. We tried to sub a little bit, but we didn't get anything out of our second group. We didn't have a good offensive ball game.

It was a sloppy first quarter, but in the second quarter we cleaned it up a little bit and straighten things.

I think any number below 350,000 is associated with good job growth. I think we are definitely getting back on track for fundamentally good job generation.
