      and have:





(a)
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure

material 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;

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

fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial
