Exhibit 12.1



COMPUTATION OF THE RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table sets forth our ratios of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated. We have calculated the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing the sum of income (loss) from continuing operations plus fixed charges by fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest expensed, amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and estimates of interest within rental expenses.
