3.
            Based

            The
                registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for

                defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
                control over financial reporting (as 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
      procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that

      particularly during


the period in which
      this report is being prepared;




(b)  designed
      such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
      over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide

      financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally


accepted
      accounting principles;




(c)  evaluated
      the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and

      our
      evaluation; and

      in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial
      reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f))


that
      occurred during
      the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially 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 the registrant’s
                board of directors:




(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
