Item 8.01   Other Events.

On September 17, 2004, John Strzemp, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to
sell up to 70,000 shares of the Company's common stock concurrent with the
vesting of 189,723 shares of the Company's common stock which Mr. Strzemp
received pursuant to Restricted Stock Agreement dated as December 11, 2002 by
and between the Company and Mr. Strzemp. Mr. Strzemp has advised the Company
that the proceeds from the sale of the shares will be used primarily to pay tax
withholding obligations resulting from the vesting of the 189,723 shares of
common stock and brokerage commissions associated with the sale.

This trading plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company's insider trading policy.
Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to establish prearranged written plans to
buy or sell a specified number of shares of a company stock over a set period
of time.
