      period in which this report is being prepared;




(b)  designed

      generally accepted accounting principles;




(c)  evaluated
      the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and

      in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial
      reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the

      materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
      registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and




5.  The
      registrant’s other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most
      recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the

      directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):




(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
