(a)
 Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such

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

and




(5).
 The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based

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.
