     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by

     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) 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 ensure that material information relating to the
          Registrant is made known to us, particularly during the period in
          which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     b)   evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure controls
          and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the

          of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;

     c)   disclosed in this report any change in the Registrant's internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's

          control over financial reporting;
