In terms of a couple questions, but maybe first to clarification; you referenced some numbers, obviously you reported growth. Also the company overall and international, and you referenced a unit growth number. I think you said internationally it was over 20%; domestically for the whole company it exceeded 10%.
Does that number differ from just a pure currency adjustment for FX translation, because if I do that for international, just add that $1 million back to your international total, I actually get a constant currency growth of international high teams. I think for the company overall, you referenced a similar constant currency growth rate statistic of about 9%. I just want to make sure there are three different numbers not two, if you follow me?

Steve, I don’t know that we can answer that here. May we can huddle back on that this afternoon and see if I can answer that question. I think that you’ll find Steve that probably three different numbers as they were put together is some change, because of currency translations, but it also takes into account what the price variance might be on an average selling price for some of those products.
I think all of that probably gets calculated into that total. But I think if your question is, is it three different numbers, I think the answer is yes. You can’t go back and make two numbers out of it.

That makes sense to me. I just wanted to run up the flag pole. More important stuff, you’re reference to 66 projects, kind of in-process or assumed to be in-process related to new products sounds like an impressive number. Do you have any reference point for us, as to where that number was ballparked a year ago?
James Herbert
I can speculate about where it was; it was probably less than half of that. It was probably more in the range of 20.
Steven Crowley - Craig-Hallum Capital
That’s a good reference point for us. Than in terms of the performance of the DuPont business, there’s obviously some pressure on some of the end customers you referenced for that DuPont effective line or some of your own different factors. Can you give us a little bit of status update as to how the product line is doing, and where you are in converting manufacturing to your own plant?
