Item 5.  Other Events
---------------------

     On October 15, 2001, the Registrant issued a press release announcing
earnings of $3.7 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2001. A copy
of the press release, including unaudited financial information released as a
part thereof, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
incorporated by reference in Item 5.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Exhibit 99.1  Press Release dated October 15, 2001, with respect to the
                   Registrant's unaudited financial results for the third
                   quarter ended September 30, 2001.

Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure
---------------------------------

     On October 15, 2001, the Registrant confirmed comfort with its previously
stated range of $2.36 to $2.41 per share for 2001 fully diluted EPS, though
results will likely be in the lower half of the stated range. The Registrant
also confirmed comfort with its previously stated range of $2.60 to $.2.70 per
share for 2002 fully diluted EPS. This range does not include the effect of
Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which will change the
accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only
method. See Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 10, 2001 for a
description of such effect.
