    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure

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 quarterly report is being prepared; and

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.
