I think generally the store might have lost its way somewhat in the early days. I think what Chuck Conaway has tried to do is get at the core of what their consumer is all about. He's building relationships with the consumer, building a more personal experience in the store, which is something they really didn't ever have.
I think to be honest, we are much happier with the new leadership at Kmart.
We totally support Kmart and hope that they pull through this dilemma. Our products have always performed very well, and we hope to continue our relationship with them.
We are making a bold run at engaging the tens of millions of young children in India around important educational messages to begin them on a lifelong love of learning.
