of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules thereunder (the "Exchange
Act")), any and all Forms 3, 4 and/or 5, and any
amendments thereto, that are necessary or advisable
to report the undersigned's transactions in and

for purposes of compliance with section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act, (collectively, "Documents");

(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 Documents
and timely file such Documents 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 which, 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

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney in
fact full power and authority to do and perform any
