Foot Levelers, Inc., is now the orthotic supplier to the San Francisco Giants baseball team. The company will supply the ball club's players, coaches, staff, and key minor league personnel with custom-made orthotics. This is the first time a professional team has chosen Foot Levelers as a supplier for orthotics.

The board of directors of the Federation of Straight Chiropractors and Organizations (FSCO) in Clifton, New Jersey have changed their constitution to establish a new class of membership -- emeritus status. The honorary member emeritus status may be granted to those members who have been ruling members for a minimum of five consecutive years, are no longer in full-time active practice, and have distinguished themselves in service, leadership, accomplishment, and/or contribution to the Federation and the straight chiropractic profession.
On April 3, 1995, emeritus status was granted to Drs. Clarence Prill and Wes Trout, both founding members of the FSCO.

So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
