We
note that on page 32 you revised your disclosure to make two separate
conclusions that your disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Please revise your disclosure to include only one conclusion that clearly
conveys whether your management, with the participation of your principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, determined that your
disclosure controls and procedures were effective. If you refer to the
definition of disclosure controls and procedures as set forth in Exchange
Act Rule 13a-1 5(e), please ensure that it is clear that your
determination was made based on an evaluation of the entire definition.
Alternatively, you may simply state that your management, with the
participation of your principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

You
state on page 32 that as a result of your evaluation of your disclosure
controls and procedures you identified no material weaknesses in your
internal control over financial reporting. Please note that your
conclusion regarding your internal control over financial reporting should
be pursuant to a separate review; your disclosure on page 32 under the
subheading “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting” suggests that you are aware of this differentiation. Please
revise to remove this language or advise us why you believe your current
disclosure is appropriate. Refer to Exchange Act Rule 1
3a-15(c).

We
note your response to comment eight of our September 25, 2009 letter, and
your filing of your Code of Business Ethics as an exhibit. Please revise
your Form 10-K to state whether you have adopted a code of ethics, as
defined in Item 406 of Regulation S-K. In this regard, we note that your
Code of Ethics does not appear to comply with Items 406(b)(2) and (4) of
Regulation S-K; please explain why your Code of Ethics does not address
these items.

The
Company has revised its Code of Ethics and filed the revised Code with its
amended Form 10-K.

|
We
note that the signature page of your Code of Business Ethics states that
there are eight pages to your code, but it appears there are only seven.
Please revise or advise.

We
reissue comment 13 of our September 25, 2009 letter. Your certifications
should appear exactly as set
forth in Item 601 (b)(3 1) of Regulation S-K. Because only one officer is
certifying your reports, your revisions to paragraph 4 and 5 of the certification
to make the language singular are permissible. Refer to our Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 Frequently Asked Questions available on our website,
www.sec.gov. However, your alterations to the rule reference contained in
paragraph 4, and the language of subparagraph 4(d) are not permissible.
Please revise
