Joining me today are Laura Paugh, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations; Carl Berquist, Executive Vice President, Financial Information and Enterprise Risk Management; and Betsy Daum, Senior Director, Investor Relations.

Before I get into the discussion of our results, let me first remind everyone that many of our comments today are not historical facts and are considered forward-looking statements under federal securities laws. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties as described in our SEC filings which could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by our comments.

If the leading ECB official is correct, the West is about witness yet another episode of 'That 70s Inflation Show'.

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet warned Wednesday that euro nations are already seeing the first signs of a wage-price inflation spiral, and called on governments to exercise discipline by not granting wage hikes that could further fan inflation via consequent price rises, The Associated Press reported.

The ECB's governing council "is strongly concerned that price and wage-setting behavior could add to inflationary pressures," Trichet told the European Parliament, while also defending the ECB's decision last Thursday to increase interest rates. "First signs are already emerging in some regions of the euro area."

A wage-price spiral typically occurs when employees and others seek wage increases to keep pace with rising prices. The increased wages ratchet up employer costs, who pass the added costs on to consumers via higher prices, perpetuating the wage-price spiral.

Trichet's concern: Rising European inflation
