Operator
Thank you. (Operator Instructions). We’ll go first to Tom Gunderson with Piper Jaffray
Tom Gunderson - Piper Jaffray
Hi, good afternoon guys.
Terry Gregg
Hey, Tom.
Tom Gunderson - Piper Jaffray
I just want to make sure I understood this right. Are you, Terry, did you say that you are moving for a focus on the top 50 centers to the top 100.
Terry Gregg
That’s correct.
Tom Gunderson - Piper Jaffray
And how long do you expect that to last before that expands out further.

Our goal has long been to use the experience of one of our largest vendors in order to do the receiver portion that [do it] electronic equipment. So we are going to outsource that.
