15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

     a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused

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

     b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or

control over financial reporting; and

5. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,

design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to

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