It's trying to determine if there is a viable way to go to market, and also deal with competitive issues. When you think about it, working with the universities, it's not just talking with UCLA; it's talking with their engineering school, their medical school, their office of intellectual property.

There''s Caltech, the Claremont Colleges, Harvey Mudd, UCLA. Although they might have more people in the field up in the Bay Area, there''s more competition for those people. We have a lot of world class universities here. I was just at USC yesterday, and they''re really focused on great things in science in engineering.
