Dear Mr. Gustafson:

      We have reviewed the above filing and have the following
comments.  We have limited our review to the areas commented on
below.  Where indicated, we think you should revise your documents
in
response to these comments.  If you disagree, we will consider
your
explanation as to why our comments are inapplicable or revision is
unnecessary.  Please be as detailed as necessary in your
explanation.

	Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects.  We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other

SB-2
Selling Stockholders, page 32
1. Please identify any selling stockholders who are registered
broker-dealers or affiliates of registered broker-dealers.  If you
determine that any selling stockholder is a registered broker-
dealer,
please revise your disclosure to indicate that such selling
stockholder is an underwriter, unless such selling stockholder
received its shares as compensation for underwriting activities.
With respect to any affiliate of a registered broker-dealer,
please
disclose, if true, that such selling stockholder acquired its
shares
in the ordinary course of business and at the time of the
acquisition
did not have any arrangements or understandings with any person to
distribute the securities.  If not, you must indicate that such
selling stockholder is, versus "may be", an underwriter.
Closing Comments
	As appropriate, please respond to this letter within 10
business
days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.
Detailed
cover letters greatly facilitate our review.  Please file your
cover
letter on EDGAR.  Please understand that we may have additional
comments after reviewing your response to our comments.

	We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require
for
an informed decision.  Since the company and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they
are
responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they
have made.

	Notwithstanding our comments, in the event the company
requests
acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration
statement, it should furnish a letter, at the time of such
request,
acknowledging that

* should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
* the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy
and
accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
* the company may not assert this action as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.

	In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance in connection with our review of
your
filing or in response to our comments on your filing.

      We will consider a written request for acceleration of the
effective date of the registration statement as a confirmation of
the
fact that those requesting acceleration are aware of their
respective
responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public
offering
of the securities specified in the above registration statement.
We
will act on the request and, pursuant to delegated authority,
grant
acceleration of the effective date.

	Please direct all questions relating to the above comments to
Mellissa Campbell Duru, at (202) 942-1930, or in her absence, to
the
undersigned at 202-942-1870.  Direct all correspondence to the
following ZIP code:  20549-0405.

							Sincerely,

						H. Roger Schwall
							Assistant Director
