have:
  a)
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure

during the period in which this report is being prepared;

in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial

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

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.
