ITEM 8.01.     OTHER EVENTS.

On September 13, 2012, the registrant issued a press release announcing its
earnings expectations for the third quarter ending September 30,  2012.   A
copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

The  press  release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K may  contain
forward-looking  statements  within the  meaning  of  Section  27A  of  the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and made pursuant to the
safe  harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act  of
1995, as amended.  Such forward-looking statements are based on information
presently available to the registrant's management and are current only  as
of  the date made.  Actual results could also differ materially from  those
anticipated as a result of a number of factors, including, but not  limited
to,  those discussed in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2011.  For those reasons, undue reliance should not
be placed on any forward-looking statement.  The registrant assumes no duty
or  obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement,  although
it  may do so from time to time as management believes is warranted  or  as
may  be  required  by  applicable securities  law.   Any  such  updates  or
revisions  may  be  made  by filing reports with the  U.S.  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission, through the issuance of press releases  or  by  other
methods of public disclosure.
