Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 is amended as follows:
This statement is being filed by FMR Corp., a Massachusetts
Corporation ("FMR"). FMR is a holding company one of whose
principal assets is the capital stock of a wholly-owned
subsidiary, Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"),
which is also a Massachusetts corporation. Fidelity is an

Investment Advisors Act of 1940 and which provides investment
advisory services to more than 30 investment companies which are
registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940

generally offered to limited groups of investors (the "Fidelity
Funds"). Various directly or indirectly held subsidiaries of FMR

FMR and Fidelity are located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109.

representing approximately 49% of the voting power of FMR. Mr.
Johnson 3d owns 12.0% and Abigail Johnson owns 24.5% of the
aggregate outstanding voting stock of FMR. Mr. Johnson 3d is the
Chairman of FMR. The Johnson family group and all other Class B
shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement
under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with
the majority vote of Class B shares. Accordingly, through their
ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the
shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may
be deemed, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR. The business address and
principal occupation of Mr. Johnson 3d is set forth in Schedule A
hereto.
The Shares to which this statement relates are owned
directly by one of the Fidelity Funds.

Within the past five years, none of the persons named in
this Item 2 or listed on Schedule A has been convicted in any
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or has been a party to any civil proceeding and as
a result thereof was or is subject to any judgment, decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws
or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is amended as follows:
The Fidelity Funds which own or owned Shares purchased in
the aggregate 610,800 Shares for cash in the amount of
approximately $1,420,795, including brokerage commissions. The
Fidelity Funds used their own assets in making such purchase and
no part of the purchase price is represented by borrowed funds.
Proceeds from 299,000 Shares sold aggregated approximately
$1,692,865. The attached Schedule B sets forth Shares purchased
and/or sold since February 25, 1996.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is amended as follows:
The purpose of Fidelity in having the Fidelity Funds and the
Accounts purchase Shares is to acquire an equity interest in the
Company in pursuit of specified investment objectives established
by the Board of Trustees of the Fidelity Funds and by the
investors in the Accounts.
Fidelity may continue to have the Fidelity Funds and the
Accounts purchase Shares subject to a number of factors,
including, among others, the availability of Shares of sale at
what they consider to be reasonable prices and other investment
opportunities that may be available to the Fidelity Funds and
Accounts.
Fidelity intends to review continuously the equity position
of the Fidelity Funds and Accounts in the Company. Depending
upon future evaluations of the business prospects of the Company
and upon other developments, including, but not limited to,
general economic and business conditions and money market and
stock market conditions, Fidelity may determine to cease making
additional purchases of Shares or to increase or decrease the
equity interest in the Company by acquiring additional Shares, or
by disposing of all or a portion of the Shares.
Fidelity has no present plan or proposal which relates to or
would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such
as a merger, reorganization, liquidation, or sale of transfer of
a material amount of assets involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, (ii) any change in the Company's present Board of
Directors or management, (iii) any material changes in the
Company's present capitalization or dividend policy or any other
material change in the Company's business or corporate structure,
(iv) any change in the Company's charter or by-laws, or (v) the
Company's common stock becoming eligible for termination of its
registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.
Item 5 is amended as follows:
FMR, and Fidelity, beneficially own all 311,800 Shares.
(a) FMR beneficially owns, through Fidelity, as investment
advisor to the Fidelity Funds, 311,800 Shares, or approximately
4.28% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. Neither FMR,
Fidelity, nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best knowledge of
FMR, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto, beneficially
owns any other Shares. The combined holdings of FMR, and
Fidelity, are 311,800 Shares, or approximately 4.28% of the
outstanding Shares of the Company.
(b) FMR, through is control of Fidelity, investment advisor
to the Fidelity Funds, and the Funds each has sole power to
dispose of the Shares. Neither FMR nor Mr. Johnson has the sole
power to vote or direct the voting of the 311,800 Shares owned
directly by the Fidelity Funds, which power resides with the
Funds' Boards of Trustees. Fidelity carries out the voting of
the Shares under written guidelines established by the Funds'
Board of Trustees.
(c) Except as set forth in Schedule B, neither FMR, or any
of its affiliates, nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the
persons named in Schedule A hereto has effected any transaction
in Shares during the past sixty (60) days.
Item 6. Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Inasmuch as FMR is no longer the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of the number of shares outstanding, FMR has no further
reporting obligation under Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or the rules and regulations promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. This
