POWER OF ATTORNEY



The undersigned does hereby constitute and appoint each of Nelea A. Absher,

Holli H. Lewis, Diane M.

Barhorst, and Laura H. Pulliam, signing singly, the undersigned's true and

lawful attorney-in-fact to:



1. prepare, execute and file, for and on behalf of the undersigned, Form ID,

Forms 3, 4 and 5 (including

amendments thereto) in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934 (the

"Act") and the rules thereunder, and Schedules 13D and 13G (including amendments

thereto) in

accordance with Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Act 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 prepare and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 (including amendments

thereto) or Schedule

13D or 13G (including amendments thereto) and timely file that Form or Schedule

with the United

States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar

authority, and provide

a copy as required by law or advisable to such persons as the attorney-in-fact

deems appropriate; and



3. take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the

foregoing that, in the opinion of

the attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally

required of the

undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by the 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 the attorney-in-fact may approve in the attorney-in-fact's

discretion.



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, necessary, or proper to be

done in the exercise of any of

the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as

the undersigned might or

could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,

hereby ratifying and

confirming all that the attorney-in-fact, or the attorney-in-fact's substitute

or substitutes, shall lawfully do

or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and

powers herein granted.



The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, and their

failure to comply with such

requirements.  This Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from the

undersigned's

obligations to comply with the requirements of the Act, including without

limitation the reporting

requirements under Section 16 or Sections 13(d) or 13(g) thereunder.  The

undersigned agrees that each

such attorney-in-fact may rely entirely on information furnished orally or in

writing by or at the direction

of the undersigned to the attorney-in-fact.

undersigned is no longer required to

file Forms 3, 4 and 5 and Schedules 13D and 13G with respect to the

undersigned's holdings of and

transactions in securities issued by the Corporation, unless earlier revoked by

the undersigned in a signed

writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys in fact.  This Power of Attorney

does not revoke any other

power of attorney that the undersigned has previously granted.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be

executed as of this

12 day of May, 2007.
