defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and
have:
  (a)  Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and

information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this report is being prepared;
  (b)    Designed

any change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting that

affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
internal control over financial reporting; and
  5.  The registrant's other
certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of
internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the
audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
equivalent functions):
  (a)  All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the 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
  (b)  Any fraud, whether or
not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant
role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
