     (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or

     reporting; and
5.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I have

     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.
