[Portfolio] Updates after yesterday's call - homework, too

[Noah Botimer]

I suppose it would also be helpful to include the call-in information in
case there are folks unfamiliar with our weekly routine. We have our calls
on Monday mornings, 11:00 AM Eastern time, using the Indiana phone bridge.

Phone Number: (317) 278-7008
PIN: 372215#

Thanks,
