<STYLE type=text/css>A:link {
FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:visited {
FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:active {
FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FILTER: flipv; COLOR: #000000; HEIGHT: 0px; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:hover {
FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FILTER: flipv; COLOR: #000000; HEIGHT: 0px; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
</style>
