  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 this report;

  3.   Based  on  my  knowledge,  the financial statements, and other
  financial  information  included  in this report, fairly present in
  all   material   respects  the  financial  condition,  results   of
  operations  and  cash  flows  of the registrant as of, and for, the
  periods presented in this report;

  4.    The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer(s)  and  I  are
  responsible  for  establishing  and maintaining disclosure controls
  and  procedures  (as  defined  in  Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
  15d-15(e))  and  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  (as

  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,  including  its
          consolidated  subsidiaries, is made known to us  by  others
          within  those entities, particularly during the  period  in
          which this report is being prepared;

          b.    Designed   such  internal  control   over   financial
          reporting,  or caused such internal control over  financial

          reporting  and the preparation of financial statements  for
          external  purposes  in accordance with  generally  accepted
          accounting principles;

          period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

          d.  Disclosed 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
          registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
          report)  that  has  materially affected, or  is  reasonably
          likely  to  materially  affect, the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting; and

  5.    The  registrant's  other certifying  officer(s)  and  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  registrant's  board  of  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

          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.
