under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and
regulations thereunder;

	2.	Do and perform any and all acts for and on my behalf which may
be necesssary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5
and timely file such Form with the U.S. 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 of me, it being

pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain
such information as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

	I hereby grant to each of such attorneys-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act which is necessary or desirable
to be done in the exercise of any of the powers and authority granted in this
Power of Attorney, with full power of substitution and revocation, and I

causes to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the powers and
authority granted herein.

	I acknowledge that the attorneys-in-fact appointed in this Power of
Attorney, in serving in such capacity at my request, are not assuming, and
the Company is not assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply with
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the rules or regulations
thereunder.

	This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until I
am no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 or 5 with respect to my holding or
transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless I earlier revoke
this Power of Attorney in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact.

	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Power of
Attorney as of this 15th day of September, 2008, at Palo Alto, California.
