Exhibit 99.1, page 3
1. We note that you present the forward looking non-GAAP measure adjusted
diluted
earnings per share without providing the reconciliation to the most
directly comparable
GAAP financial measure or the statement that providing such
reconciliation requires
unreasonable efforts. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K and
the guidance in
Question 102.10 of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures and revise your future filings to provide the required
information.

2. On pages 13-16 you present the reconciliations of your non-GAAP
measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP measures in the form of a full non-GAAP
income statement, a
presentation that gives greater prominence to the non-GAAP measures.
Refer to the first
bullet point within Question 102.10 of the Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations on
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and revise your presentation in future
filings accordingly.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
You may contact Tara Harkins at (202) 551-3639 or Lynn Dicker, Senior
Accountant, at
