Yeah, and to pick up on it, David, I'd probably come at it two different ways as we think about the guidance for this year. One is, I'd say the macro economy, it gets so easy as you know and we've all watched companies that have a few good quarters and start to get a little ahead of themselves, and as you know we've work too hard to get this company turned around and want to make sure that we continue to deliver on our commitments. So that's certainly a macro approach to how we want to set guidance, and you've seen it, even at your conference a couple of months ago, us just – while it's fun to watch the investors get so ebullient and start to think about us as a double-digit revenue company, we still know we have work to do to really get there, and, gosh knows, we'd aspire to it, but we're not quite there yet. The other simple piece, if you just kind of break it down maybe a little more analytically from the ground up, this year we ended up probably getting 1.5% in the Japanese Red Cross. That all came through, and if anything, frankly, there was some pipeline build that this year the blood screening might be a slight headwind. So that's probably almost a 2-percentage-point dip, say, versus last year in terms of growth. The 60 basis points that Bob just mentioned in terms of the discontinued items, and then I'd say, just generally, we're going off some pretty hefty comps. Three straight quarters of double-digit growth in our Surgical business, that now, just to jump over those numbers, starting to get pretty big. As well as the Breast Health business, we're coming off a couple of quarters in a row of 20%. So those 20% growth quarters led us to the very high single-digit growth this year. Hard to believe we're going to still have 20% growth on top of 20%. Probably the final piece, I would remind you is, and you've certainly mentioned it, relative to our original guidance for this year, we feel very good that we went way past that I don't see us going that far past it again next year. Now that we – I think we've got a much better handle on the business, but we still want to make sure we're putting numbers out that we feel very confident in being able to hit.
