Anthony Crowdell: Great. And just one follow up on top of Julien’s question. I think Bob you had mentioned you prefer the settlement route and not just specific to Minnesota, but just in general. It seems like lately some commissions may be or tinkering with settlements if I use that term, it seems that’s maybe occurring at a greater frequency, does that give you pause on achieving your settlement?

BobFrenzel: Hi Anthony, it’s Bob. Great to see your name in the inbox today. Now, it doesn’t give me pause look, I think we’ve had a long history here. We continue to work proactively with staffs and commission. And sometimes we go before ALJs and there’s always things that are around the edges, important, but I think generally speaking settlements are encouraged and I think commissions understand that they want to encourage settlements that they need to be respect the entirety of them without tinkering. I think you’ve seen some commentary in some of the jurisdictions you might have been thinking about to that fact.

Operator: Thank you so much, sir. And as it appears to have no further questions, Brian I’d like to the conference back over to you for any additional or closing remarks. Thank you.
