 Item 8.01. Other Events.

 Chairman of the Board, Michael E. Henry, has advised us that JKHY Partners
 has terminated its Prearranged Trading Plan as of May 9, 2005. JKHY Partners
 is a family partnership owned by Mr. Henry and his sister Vicki Jo Henry.
 Mr. Henry manages the partnership.  The plan was entered into in August
 of 2004 in accordance with SEC Rule 10b5-1 for the original purpose of
 liquidating up to 1,000,000 shares and was intended to run for a period
 of twelve months. Prior to its termination, a total of 750,000 shares
 had been liquidated under the plan.

 The JKHY Partners plan was terminated to allow Mr. Henry personally to
 adopt a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan with respect to 600,000 options held by
 him which expire in September of 2005.  The new plan, adopted May 9, 2005,
 calls for exercise of such options and sales of up to 600,000 resulting
 shares. The timing of such exercises and sales will depend on market
 conditions and price. This amount represents less than 1% of the total
 Company stock outstanding, and represents 60% of the total options by
 Mr. Henry.  The trading plan may be terminated at any time.


                                  SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of  1934,
 the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
 undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
