13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
  a.  Designed such disclosure controls and

others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
report is being prepared;

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
