a)  designed

      disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and
      procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material

b)  designed

      significant
      deficiencies and material weakness in the design or operation of internal
      controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely
      affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report
      financial data; 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.
