Item 5.03	Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
	On January 15, 2009, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our By-laws effective as of that date.  The changes to our By-laws, which are reflected in our amended and restated By-laws of the same date, provide for the appointment of our certain officers and the establishment of those officers’ compensation by our chief executive officer. Prior to these amendments, all of our officers had to be appointed by the Board of Directors, and their compensation was set by the Board of Directors.  As a result of these amendments, the Board of Directors retains the exclusive power to appoint our chief executive officer, one or more presidents, our chief financial officer, our chief accounting officer, our secretary, our treasurer and one or more of our executive vice presidents and senior vice presidents (collectively, “Senior Officers”) and any other officers it determines appropriate, but our chief executive officer now has the concurrent authority to appoint officers other than Senior Officers.  Further, as a result of these amendments, our chief executive officer now also has the authority to set the compensation for the officers appointed by our chief executive officer. The foregoing summary of the By-law amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of our amended and restated By-laws.  A copy of the amended and restated By-laws is filed as an exhibit to this report and its terms are incorporated herein by reference.
