misleading  with  respect  to  the  period  covered  by  this  report;

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

particularly  during  the  period  in  which  this  report  is  being  prepared;

     b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such

report)  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

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