known to us by others within those entities, particularly during
the period in which this report is being prepared;

design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
information; and

or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
internal control over financial reporting.
