On the discontinued operations, what businesses are you putting into discontinued operations right now?

Those are the restaurants that we’re closing, exiting. So its primarily a bunch of Joe’s Crab Shacks.

The interest and other line was about $22 million in the quarter, I think the interest portion was broken out in the release as about $19.5 million, so what was the other $2.5 million, was that hurricane related stuff or what was that?
Rick Liem
No I think it would just be generally non-operating expense costs.
Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Brian Hunt – Wachovia
Brian Hunt – Wachovia
I was wondering if you could tell us what your LTM EBITDA is per the financing agreement for the restaurants and how many restaurants are in the discontinued number, are remain closed and what type of EBITDA did they contribute to LTM?
Rick Liem
There’s, we’re over $130 million in the restaurant EBITDA calculation. I’d say there’s probably about a dozen restaurants remaining in the discontinued ops and its diminimous from a ROP. Most of them are shut down.
The interest rate swaps on the Golden Nugget is the majority of the other in that $22 million.
Operator
There are no additional questions at this time; I would like to turn it back over to management for any additional or closing comments.
Rick Liem
Thank you very much, we’ll talk to you all later.
