Good day ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Waste Services, Inc. third quarter conference call. My name is Michelle and I will be your coordinator for today.

Ivan R. Cairns
Thanks, Michelle and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Certain matters discussed during the conference call are forward looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor for liability established by the Private Securities & Litigation Act of 1995. These statements will generally be identified as such because the context of the statements include the words such as: the company believes, anticipates, expects, or words of similar expression.
Statements that describe the company’s future plans, objectives, or goals, are forward looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. The description of such forward looking statements can be found in the company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission. Shareholders, potential investors, and other attendees are encouraged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.
Forward looking statements made during the conference call today are made only as of the date of the call and the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update these statements. There will be a replay of the call available until November 5 by phoning 888-286-8010 in the U.S. or Canada, or 617-801-6888 internationally, and entering the passcode number 26235097. I’d now like to turn the call over to our President & Chief Executive Officer, David Sutherland-Yoest.
