To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the entities or
persons identified in this Item 2 has, during the past five years, been
convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors), nor been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
---------------------------------------------

Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:  (a), (b) According to the Issuer's most
recent Form 10-Q, there were 22,872,535 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding as of November 5, 2003. Based on such information, after taking
into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting
Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock:(i)
4,273,175 shares of Common Stock held by Blum L.P. and RCBA, Inc. directly and
on behalf of the limited partnership for which Blum L.P. serves as the general
partner, which represents 18.7% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock;
and (ii) 1,162,348 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by The
Common Fund for the account of its Multi-Strategy Equity Fund ("The Common
Fund")and 49,801 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by United
Brotherhood of Carpenters Pension Plan ("UBC")(collectively, the "Investment
Advisory Clients"), with respect to which Blum L.P. has voting and investment
power. The Investment Advisory Clients represent 5.3% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock.  Each Investment Advisory Client has entered into an advisory


CUSIP NO. 713-839108            SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 9 of 11

agreement with Blum L.P., but neither Investment Advisory Client has any
contract, arrangement or understanding with the other Investment Advisory
Client, or any other Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition,
ownership, disposition or voting of any shares of the Common Stock.  Each
Investment Advisory Client disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting
Person or with the other Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims
beneficial ownership of any shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons
other than for their own account.  Voting and investment power concerning the
above shares are held solely by Blum L.P.  The Reporting Persons therefore may
be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to
have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 5,485,324 shares of the Common
Stock, which is 24.0% of the outstanding Common Stock.  As the sole general
partner of Blum L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the
securities over which Blum L.P. has voting and investment power.  As Chairman,
director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA
Inc.  Although Mr. Blum is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the
filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that he, or any
of the other shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc., is,
for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are
beneficially owned by RCBA Inc.

c) During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons distributed the following
shares of Common Stock:

Entity                            Trade Date   Shares   Price/Share
------                            ----------   -------   ----------
Investment partnership for        11-13-03     362,845       0
which Blum L.P. serves as the
general partner.

During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons acquired the following shares
of Common Stock:

Entity                            Trade Date   Shares   Price/Share
------                            ----------   -------   ----------
Blum L.P.                          11-13-03     24,772       0

(d) and (e) Not applicable.


Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting
Persons, the other persons named in Item 2, is a party to any contract,
arrangement, understanding or relationship with respect to any securities of
the Issuer, including, but not limited to, the transfer or voting of any
securities of the Issuer, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or
loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, except (i) as previously


CUSIP NO. 713-839108            SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 10 of 11

of the shares held by it for the benefit of the Investment Advisory Clients.
