Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints

     of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

(2)  do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that
     may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or
     5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely
     file such form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
     and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

(3)  take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
     foregoing that, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
     to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it
     being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in- fact on
     behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in
     such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
