Go ahead. Okay.

Audience

Actually it's just a quick comment. My name is Christy Tabiy [sp?], I'm with Save the Children. And this comment will maybe fill in a gap. I just want to talk briefly about a project that's going on in Afghanistan that actually is using some of the data you collected. It's a project that's run through the Global Livestock CRSP and it's using the data to actually develop a livestock early warning system, and that project is funded by the USAID. So even though it's not a Google, it's not available through Google, that information is specialized. It's taken out in pieces to develop a product in order to accomplish something larger. So maybe that helps a bit more.

Susan Murcott

Okay. So thank you all, and we'll go now to the last part of our conference today.

Erik Peterson

Susan, thank you very much for your chair capabilities, both with and without microphone on that session, they were interesting. Oop, I thought we were going to drink the water. I was going to propose we toast. All right, here's to CURE. Well, thank you very much, and what an interesting and intriguing, insightful panel. Thank you very much to all three participants.
