Please standby. Good morning. And thank you for joining us for RPC, Inc.'s First Quarter 2014 Earnings Conference Call. Today's call will be hosted by Rick Hubbell, President and CEO; and Ben Palmer, Chief Financial Officer. Also present is Jim Landers, Vice President of Corporate Finance. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode and following the presentation we will conduct the question-and-answer session, and instructions will be provided at that time for you to queue up for questions. I would like to advise everyone that this conference is being recorded. And Jim will get us started by reading the forward-looking disclaimer. Please go ahead, sir.
