Item 4.		Purpose of Transaction

	Item 4 of Southeastern's previously filed Schedule 13D's entitled
"Purpose of Transaction" is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
        The Securities reported in this filing have been purchased in the
ordinary course of business of Southeastern as a registered investment advisor,
and are held for investment purposes only on behalf of client accounts over
which Southeastern has either sole or shared discretionary investment or voting
power.  Southeastern reviews the holdings of its client accounts on an ongoing
basis.  As a result of such review, Southeastern may purchase additional
Securities on behalf of clients in the future, or may sell all or a part of the
current holdings of the Securities.

        Southeastern is engaged in the business of investment management of its
clients' assets and pursues an investment philosophy of identifying undervalued
situations and acquiring positions in undervalued companies on behalf of its
clients.  In pursuing this investment philosophy, Southeastern analyzes the
operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which its clients
invest and continuously monitors the business operations of such companies
through analysis of financial statements and other public documents, through
discussions with knowledgeable industry observers, and with management of such
companies, often at management's invitation.

	In the case of the Issuer, Southeastern's clients have owned a position
since March 2001 because the stock has traded, and continues to trade, at a
substantial discount to Southeastern's appraisal of the Issuer's intrinsic
value. At various times since 2001, Southeastern has attempted to work with the
Issuer's management, other shareholders, and/or the Board in an effort to
address issues relevant to the Issuer's value, such as the Issuer's operations,
performance and business plans and strategies, and may continue to do so from
time to time in the future.  Southeastern has understood that the Carlson
family controls the Issuer through ownership of Series A Common Shares, but
Southeastern has also assumed that it, along with other public shareholders,
had impartial representation by four independent directors.

	Today, Southeastern is announcing its intention to withhold votes on all
independent directors standing for election at the May 22, 2008 Annual Meeting,
because we do not believe these candidates have adequately represented the
interests of public shareholders. Southeastern encourages other shareholders to
withhold their votes as well, for the following reasons:

	o  In late 2007, a well-resourced, strategic acquirer made a
	   written, all-cash bid to purchase all of the Issuer at more
	   than a 50% premium to its average December 2007 trading
	   price, according to a reliable source;

	o  Southeastern considered the offer full and fair;

	o  Ted Carlson, the Issuer's Chairman and CEO, rejected the
	   offer;

	o  The offer was never publicly disclosed;

	o  After learning of the bid's rejection without public
	   disclosure, Southeastern wrote to the full Board demanding an
	   explanation;

	o  The Board wrote back and refused to comment on the bid, but
	   stated that it would "serve no valid business purpose for a
	   board of directors to attempt to take action that cannot
	   succeed due to the controlling shareholder's lack of
	   support."

	o  Further elaborating on their defeatist approach and
	   acquiescence to the will of the Carlsons, the directors
	   stated that "the fiduciary duties of directors under Delaware
	   law do not require them to take action that would be futile."

	o  Not satisfied with this answer, Southeastern addressed the
	   issue with one of the independent directors, requesting that
	   he and the other independent directors seek to persuade the
	   Board to engage with the bidder. The result was a second
	   letter from the full Board, reiterating the statements made
	   in the first.

        Southeastern does not believe that the independent directors have been
proactive enough in seeking to persuade the Carlsons of the merits of the
proposed transaction. Southeastern believes the opportunity may still be
available at a substantial premium to today's trading price if the Issuer would
negotiate with the bidder. We believe the independent directors should have
sought an outside, independent opinion regarding the merits of the proposed
transaction, and have a duty to act as an advocate for the interests of public
shareholders. A defeatist attitude that efforts on behalf of public
shareholders might be "futile" is not what Southeastern considers adequate
representation by independent directors.

        Furthermore, Southeastern is at a loss to explain how even the Carlson
family could refuse to pursue such an opportunity. In its 33 years of
successful investing and partnering with management teams all over the world,
Southeastern has never seen such irrational investment behavior. In addition,
Southeastern believes that the public should have been made aware of this
significant and material bid, and that it was irresponsible to withhold the
information.

        For these reasons, Southeastern encourages other shareholders to
withhold votes for the independent directors.

vote of such Securities; such powers may be retained by or shared with the
respective clients for shared or non-discretionary accounts, for which
Southeastern generally makes recommendations with respect thereto.  Shares held

notice. Southeastern does not have an economic interest in any of the
Securities reported herein.

    (e)  Not applicable.
