the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and
5. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed to the
registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

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 controls.
