Karl Puehringer
Jessie I’m sure your referring to the lawsuit with Technotrans as it relates to pattern entrenchment in the past, that is currently at the Supreme Court in Karlsruhe and we understand that there are many pending cases at this moment in time at this Supreme Court so, our expectations at this moment is in time is there should be ruling during the first half of a calendar year 2009.
Karl Puehringer
That’s the first half of 2009 correct?

Jessie Greenfield
Next question is your buyback program, not that you have released your numbers do you anticipate starting up the program again.
John Jordan
Hi, Jessie good question, this is John Jordan. We have an available amount under that program of about $2.3 million and we continually watch and make repurchases when it’s appropriate.
Jessie Greenfield
And can you give us any inside into the quarter that you’re in currently?
John Jordan
I think we commented about the orders in July, the orders have been better than last year close to 30% and since we don’t give guidance, I think that’s about all that we are going to comment on this quarter.
