And Jack this is Darren. You will see that stringent cost control continue until we see conditions improve even throughout Q1. As we look at (inaudible) and when we look at what's played out this week with many other public companies announcing and giving us all some much-needed information about what's happening in October, we will keep cost control at the top of the list, like we always do. And certainly network optimization is good timing for that cost control, because it's not only building density in the network as we've taken these -- as we're on track to take the 25 terminals out that we've already guided to for this year and then we'll immediately start working on the next 25 right after that. It also eliminates redundant costs in our network. So as we are in an uncertain economy moving forward, network optimization will be a help to our cost control focus.
