Watch PebblePad in action from the comfort of your favourite armchair (popcorn entirely optional).
Tuesday 18th July 2017 AEST
Heather Pate, Senior Learning Designer, Edith Cowan UniversityDr Katrina Strampel, Manager, Teaching Support & Senior Lecturer in CLT
ECU defines employability as having the skills, knowledge personal attributes, and self-awareness that make securing, and being successful in fulfilling, employment more likely. Through an integrated learning experience, the JIGSAW approach aims to improve employability outcomes by enhancing students' ability to understand, demonstrate, take responsibility for, and articulate their learning, thus improving their written applications for employment, their verbal interviews, and their continuing professional development. In this presentation, Heather will outline how this approach is being implemented with seven pilot courses across the university. Using PebblePad workbooks, courses provide students with scaffolded opportunities to recognise and articulate their knowledge, skills and achievements, and to collect evidence to support these. Students use the stories and evidence gathered to create portfolios, documenting their learning journey and preparing them for employment.

Joy Robbins, Lecturer in Academic Development (PDP), Centre for Educational Development, University of BradfordEmma Purnell, Senior Learning Technologist, Academic Support, Technology & Innovation (ASTI), Plymouth University
Emma will talk about the initial implementation of a university-wide project, the Plymouth Compass Portfolio (including reflections on HEAR extra-curricular activities), which aims to give every student the opportunity to engage in portfolio-based learning. She will present initial evidence outlining the extent to which this approach can push change in learning culture from the bottom up by encouraging the students to drive engagement.Joy will talk about the creation and ongoing implementation of a faculty-wide policy on PebblePad use which aims to get every undergraduate programme to start or enhance their use of portfolio-based learning. She will present initial evidence on how this creates change from the top down by supporting and pushing staff to engage.This webinar will encourage participants to broaden their focus from portfolios at a module or programme level to thinking about the larger landscape of the university, ideally incorporating a combination of these two approaches.
Tuesday 16th May 2017 ET
Presented by Robert Fleisig, Associate Profession in Engineering at McMaster University, the IMPACT (Interdisciplinary, Meaningful/Mentorship, Practice , Applied, Collaborative/Community Transformative) Project is a community-engaged interdisciplinary authentic learning experience for first-year engineering students, undergraduate biology students, and graduate-level occupational therapy students. Together, the students, staff, and faculty from these three communities work with local community members to identify a problem area, collaboratively design devices, and ultimately delivering a useable solution to one or more users. This project has been ongoing since 2012.The IMPACT Project is built around a freshmen engineering course on engineering practice and the profession. Using a new problem each year, the approximately 1000 engineering students are tasked with designing a device for the user(s). The 200–300 biology and occupational therapy students volunteer as design reviewers. At the end of the project, a public showcase and competition results in a final best design and prototype which is handed to the user(s).Learning in the IMPACT Project is facilitated with the use of several pieces of digital technology, including electronic learning portfolios. This webinar will describe the design of the IMPACT Project and the strategies employed to organize the disparate groups and schedules, methods used to capture students work, and how student collaboration across multiple disciplines was achieved and facilitated by digital technology.

In this webinar, Patrick Viney, Senior Learning Technology Advisor, will discuss how Northumbria University has successfully implemented PebblePad to manage its dissertation process. Each year, over 800 students undertake the Newcastle Business School dissertation module supported by over 100 academic staff. Patrick will talk about how the implementation of structured Workbooks has simplified the process for students and how reporting in PebblePad's assessment space (ATLAS) has provided a management overview of progress. The presentation will also include feedback from supervisors and tutors on the added value PebblePad has provided to this important process.
Thursday 16th March 2017 GMT
In this webinar Panos Vlachopoulos (Associate Dean Quality & Standards, Faculty of Arts) and Sherrie Love, (Senior Learning Designer, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences) from Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, outline the design, development and implementation process of a pedagogically sound and technologically workable and sustainable solution to programmatic assessment using an eportfolio tool across an entire Faculty.
Programmatic Assessment is often part of a continuum which begins with the development of specific capabilities for graduates, and then aligns the capabilities with learning activities and measurable assessment opportunities across a program of study. The use of an electronic portfolio (eportfolio) tool, the provision of longitudinal tutorial support and credible feedback are often the key design challenges for programmatic assessment and these form key points of discussion in this webinar.
Friday 17th February 2017 GMT
In this 50 minute webinar, PebblePad Commander in Chief, Shane Sutherland, will draw upon an international range of diverse examples to inspire, enthuse and otherwise encourage you to rethink the ways in which you use PebblePad.
The webinar will showcase examples in support of the full student life cycle – preparation; application; orientation; core curricular; work-based learning; extra-curricular; research; HEAR (Higher Education Achievement Report, UK); transition to employment; and revalidation.

Last Friday morning dd started having a fever, it progressed to 103 degrees. Through the weekend it got up to 105 at one point. But hovered around 103 and 104. She hardly slept, said her tummy hurt, had some periods of saying there was icky stuff in her mouth and spitting it out but not vomiting (she hasn't vomited since she was 3 and she's now 6). She said her neck hurt. She had a slight cough, but not consistent and said her throat kinda hurt but not much. She also had slight congestion but not much. She was layed out and could not leave the couch.
I gave her some tylenol on saturday night when the fever was 105 and I really didn't know what to do, and I never give her tylenol. It brought the fever down a bit but didn't really seem to help all that much.
Monday morning I brought her to the pedi office and saw another dr. since ours has mondays off. She did a quick strep test and it was positive. She said before the test came back that she probably has strep since her fever was so high, along with stomach pain and swollen glands. We started her on antibiotics (1st time EVER). Monday night and last night she has had really bad congestion. And now has been sleeping HORRIBLY bc of that. Although yesterday her fever was gone.
When reading online I saw that Strep doesn't have cold type symptoms (ie congestion, cough). So now I am doubting that she has strep. What do you mamas think?
Thanks for any advice.
Well, lab tests usually don't lie. If he tested positive for strep then that's at least one thing she has. My daughter had a cold and then seem to have been better for a couple of days then all the sudden she got a fever and was telling me that her throat felt like she was swallowing butter. She tested positive for strep and we did use anti-biotics. If I know for sure she has something and I know its something she might have a hard time kicking, I use the antibiotics - especially because of the complications that can occur with untreated Strep. But my point is that She had a cold and then picked up strep - most likely in school since there were other kids battling it. With a bunch of cold viruses and flus going around and strep in an easy-to-transmit classroom, its not unlikely that she has both a cold and strep. Like I said, my daughter did. However, the Dr. did tell me that if she keeps getting sick like that, that I should have her tested for Mono. And another Dr. disagreed so... you'll have to get your own medical opinion for that one.
Thanks for your reply. I guess that could be that she has more than one thing going on. She seems much better with the congestion the latter half of this day. We will see how tonight goes. She has never been down and sick for this long ever.
we have all gotten sick these past 2 yrs more than ever. its been terrible. does your dd go to school? i originally planned on homeschooling but our current situation doesnt really support a successful hs environment. and since dd started school, she's been getting sicker more often. we eat well, we take vitamins and use good remedies and immune boosters as well as good hygiene and we still get sick.... its sooo frustrating.

Dear NYC Hounds,
I have some family coming into NYC from India and they would like to host an anniversary lunch for 20 people in midtown. Looking for good food, lively place, without breaking the bank.
Their thoughts are food wise:
Light Organic Fare
Maybe someplace that can do a fixed price per head for the food and desert. Bar of course would be additional.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you

The US pay-TV market took another hit in the third quarter of 2015 officially losing 393,000 customers, while a re-report by AT&T took even more customers out of the market. This is an improvement over the previous quarter (decline of 608,000 homes) and while three companies saw positive net additions, there are underlying causes for concern, says Ampere Analysis.

Edward Hendricks was a Manticoran citizen and diplomat.
In the 1910s PD, he served as the Manticoran ambassador to the Solarian League. He was a member of the Conservative Association and became rather obese while serving on Earth. He supported Rear Admiral Edwin Young's descision not to use any offical assets to find the kidnapped Helen Zilwicki. They claimed to believe the kidnapping was a Havenite "diversionary maneuver" and that she was in no danger. At the time, both he and Young were involved with the Mesan slaving company Manpower Incorporated. Anton Zilwicki also uncovered proof that Hendricks availed himself of the services of Manpower at their "pleasure resorts". (HHA3.3: FtH)
After this was revealed by Catherine Montaigne some time later, Hendricks was recalled from Earth, tried, stripped of his rank and sentenced to several decades in prison. (HH10, CS1)

1950s and 1980s
pop music history, Crutcher
Three key pop artists in the 50s were Eddie Fisher, Frank Sinatra, and Johnny Mathis. Some big hits during this time period were Outside of Heaven, Strangers in the Night, and Chances Are. Music during this decade was very vocal based and told more of an emotional story.
Popular songs of the 80s were Billie Jean by Michael Jackson, Purple Rain by Prince, and Material Girl by Madonna. The music of this time had more instruments than that of the 50s, there were digital recordings, and it was more performance based than in the 50s.
Other popular music genres of the 50s were rock n' roll, country western, and r&b. Others of the 80s were post-disco, soft rock, glam metal, shred guitar, quiet storm, and smooth jazz.
Popular tv shows of the 50s were I Love Lucy and Tom and Jerry. In the 80s it was Full House and The Simpsons.

Unique Shower Curtains - A Look At Novelty Shower Curtains
Novelty Shower Curtains
A unique shower curtain can help a standard white painted bathroom solve a temporary decorating problem while you tackle other rooms in your house that are more visible. Whether you are looking for something humorous or more of a fashion statement, there is a novelty curtain that can work in your home. Chances are good that you can also find matching accessories to give your bathroom a nice, inexpensive "remodel" for a very low cost, just by switching out the curtains and a few accessories, including the toilet seat cover. Here's a look at a number of unique shower curtains.
Map Curtain
World Maps Curtain
if you are looking for something educational, a world map is a great place to start. With the world situation constantly in flux, you may find that even some adults could use a refresher on the current state of the world's countries. And with the low cost of a curtain, if there is a coup somewhere it costs less than a new atlas to update your map! A map curtain can also help the kids learn world geography while "studying" in the bathroom.
Psycho Shower Curtain
Horror Curtains
Probably the most famous movie shower scene of all time is the Psycho scene. You can remind your guests of that famous scene with a not so inviting shower curtain reminding them of the bad things that can happen in the shower (in the movies, of course!)
These curtains definitely have to match specific personalities and are definitely not for everyone.
Jake & the Neverland Pirates Shower Curtain
Jake and the Neverland Pirates
For the youngster in your home, Jake is a day time hero. What better way to enjoy that seeing this mini-super hero in your child's bathroom?
Deep Sea Curtains
Beach Decor Shower Curtains
Decorating your bathroom space in a beach or sea theme is ever popular. There are all sorts of beached themed curtains: sea shells, ocean waves, aquatic life, light houses, sail boats, and fantasy themed curtains too.
One unique sea theme for the youngsters would be the classic movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Enjoy the natural beauty of the sea with Captain Nemo on his long journey of discovery.
Accessorize with cutesy curtain hooks like seashells or flip flops to add to your décor.
There's always Disney's Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid (which originated from a fairy tale) as well.
Major League Baseball
These days we always have the opportunity to proclaim our allegiance to our favorite pro sports teams. This includes the major league baseball teams, and some of the more popular teams include the fan fav Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees. Many other teams can be found as well, like the 2011 MLB champs, the St. Louis Cardinals. Many of the MLB curtains can also go with a patriotic color scheme like the Texas Rangers. Look for your team, there's a good chance you will find them.
Western Curtains
Western Themed Curtains
One of the classic themes is the a western theme or The Wild West. You can pick up that theme with a number of different curtains. Horses are a favorite for a young persons bathroom.
Cowboy boots can be a subtle addition to a guest bathroom, that keeps up with a western motif.
Many of these come in earth tones to help you feel transported while using the facilities!
Don't forget to accessorize with western related items: old guns (no ammo please!), long horn bones, and metal stars. The possibilities are endless. We used red and blue handkerchiefs to make curtains for our red, white and blue bathroom.

Dear Folks,
Let's talk. I have tried to steer clear of being a political blog. But, due to health reasons, it's been a while since my last post and all kinds of crap has happened since then. That being said, here goes. I'm taking the plunge.
It's a crazy, upside down world now. I voted for Donald Trump and so did America. He's the President of the United States. But according to left leaning liberals and Democrats, democracy doesn't mean a thing anymore.
Before these anti-Americans took to the streets in violence, blocking streets, highway, freeways, demanding stuff that defies logic, I was neither Democrat nor Republican. Neither Left nor Right. I was a proponent of dialogue and logic. But since the LLLD (Left Leaning Liberal Democrats) decided on The Taming of the Shrew path to getting whatever it is they want (I don't think they really know), I have had to get off my bench and start swinging. Otherwise, if people like me do not take a hard positive stand, it's bye bye America. And this is not hyperbole. This is down-to-earth truth.
This turn to evil and violence and blocking every move that the President of the United States makes for the betterment of our own country, is so crazy it defies everything that makes sense. The sun is the moon. Night is day. Men are maidens. Killers are welcome. Evil is good. Which the Bible says implicitly to not call evil good.
President Trump, God bless him, said today about his immigration plan, that, "If the U.S. does not win this case, as it so obviously should, we can never have the security and safety to which we are entitled. Politics!"
But, dear President, this isn't just politics. This goes to something deeper and more vile than we have, in most of our lifetimes, openly seen before. Not since the Holocaust. When judges and mayors and governors and senators and representatives, who are supposed to be guarding the gates of democracy, turn coat and fly in the face of it, then we know the mask has come off of the ancient Enemy of mankind. And that's not wild-eyed fanaticism. Anybody with half a brain can see it.
The total disregard for even the simplest, childlike logic — in fact, fighting violently against all semblance of reason, shows us the true face of Satan, that Old Dragon, and our true Enemy. Yes, the LLLDs out there are our enemies, but they are slaves of their master.
Christians, and all conservatives, can no longer deny that we are in a battle for our nation, and our lives. The reality of Ephesians 6:12 is sounding its clarion call across the entire world to unite as never before in prayer and holding the line of truth.
"We do not fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12
Hear the tawny lion roar
On Facebook I linked to a post by Theodore Shoebat with a very good interpretation of this verse, and will do so here. The writer pointed out that just because the main battle is spiritual, it doesn't mean we sit back, say a little prayer, buy a Coke, or have a cup of coffee, and let the heavenly realm do their thing. We are to make use of every weapon at our disposal, whether that be the voting booth, or making our voices heard in support of human leaders who are on the firing line. Sometimes it can come down to fighting physically against the physical embodiments of evil
The discussion I shared about this verse points out that the Apostle Paul was warned of an ambush with the intent to kill him. Yes. He knew he was knee deep in a spiritual battle, but he also knew this worked itself out into the physical. He sent word to the Roman commanders who surrounded Paul with the very real Special Forces of that day, bristling with very real weapons.
The battle has come to us, ladies and gentlemen. We are, in reality, now Christian soldiers in every sense of that title. We need an army of Prayer Warriors and Fighters. I say bring it on! OooooRAH !!!
Hear the tawny lion roar
What "We Do Not Wrestle Against Flesh And Blood" Really Means
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places
Well I have done a video dealing with this very issue, showing that Ephesians 6:12 does not in any refute the concept of Christian holy war, but in fact, supports it:
It must be remembered that all of the Church's battles are spiritual, even if they do involve physical fighting. And the purposes of these wars are not to kill, but to advance God over evil. While Paul said that we do not fight against flesh and blood, when forty Jewish bandits came to kill him, he did not quote Ephesians 6:12 and say, "oh don't worry about it, my war is not carnal." No. St. Paul had a Roman garrison of over 400 warriors guard him with arms:
And when it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. Now there were more than forty who had formed this conspiracy. They came to the chief priests and elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul. 15 Now you, therefore, together with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to make further inquiries concerning him; but we are ready to kill him before he comes near."
So when Paul's sister's son heard of their ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul. 17 Then Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him." 18 So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."
Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside, and asked privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"
And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask that you bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire more fully about him. But do not yield to them, for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you."
So the commander let the young man depart, and commanded him, "Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me."
And he called for two centurions, saying, "Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night; and provide mounts to set Paul on, and bring him safely to Felix the governor."
When he was being guarded by men armed with physical weapons and armor, St. Paul at the same time was bearing the full armor of God, protecting himself from spiritual threat that wanted to kill him. Even at that moment, when he had armed men protect him, Paul was in a spiritual war. Christian armies, then, can fight in physical battles that are spiritual wars. The Christians who fought the Muslims and the pagans in the ancient world, were indeed a part of a spiritual war, and they partook in it through physical means.
If Paul can use an army to defend himself on a religious conflict, then the Church can certainly use armies to defend itself religious wars against Muslims, pagans, and other heretics.
Paul's statement in Ephesians 6 does not signify pacifism, but the spiritual war between light and darkness, that in many times is done through physical arms, not for the purpose of shedding blood and cutting flesh, but for the fulfillment of a spiritual victory over satanic forces. Just because something is spiritual, does mean that a physical involvement is excluded. The Crucifixion was spiritual, but it consisted of much physical phenomena, of nails, of a lance, a crown of thorns, scourges, and a cross.
When Paul had an armed guard protect him, he was fighting the forces of darkness, by protecting himself from people under the influence control of the demonic. Our war is not declared against flesh and blood, since its purpose is not to plunder and murder, but to defend the righteous and purge the world of evil and tyranny. At times the Church must fight against spiritual darkness with the pen of Orthodoxy, and at others, with the sword.
In his epistle to the Corinthians, St. Paul writes:
For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:20
Here Paul tells us to commit ourselves to a spiritual action with both spirit and body. This indicates that in spiritual actions, we must never forget the physical element. To walk in the spirit, is to emulate God, in His virtues and in His justice. Therefore, when the Crusaders executed righteous vengeance on the Muslim jihadists, they were emulating the justice of God, and were glorifying God with both body and spirit, utilizing the Sword of the Spirit, because they were fighting against a satanic religion, and the physical sword, since they were fighting against mortal bodies under the influence of demonic power.
One thing is for certain, a Crusade is not a war against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

A growing need
Air traffic is growing, as well as terrorist threats. This increases the requirement to control the objects brought by passengers into airplanes, or by spectators in an arena, or by public in museum.
The most popular systems used to detect weapons only react to metallic objects. This is now recognized as insufficient, and very inefficient (200 people scanned per hour, and 50% of false alarms).
Consequently, it is necessary to find a faster and more reliable way to control objects carried by passengers.
ScanVision's technology
After years of R&D, ScanVision has invented an imagery technology enabling to:
- detect illicit objects, caracterized by their shape and their material
- control passenger while they are walking
This technology brings a real breakthrough on the market to detect objects:
- it enables to control flows of people 5 to 10 times faster than the current technologies
- it enables to reduce the false alarm rate down to few percents
Consequently, both the required staff and the induced delay are strongly reduced.
The company
ScanVision has been founded by Claude Chekroun in 2011.
Claude Chekroun has acquired an wide experience, internationnally recognized, in the field of radar technologies. He produced 82 patents during his career, among which 7 have been elected "best inventions" by Thomson CSF and Thales.
ScanVision also works in strong partnership with the experts of SART, whose know-how and experience are internationally recognized.
ScanVision leverages 6 patents, enabling to track the passengers' movements, to identify suspicious objects, to digitally zoom on suspicious areas, and to identify illicit objects based on shapes and material.

The 6-foot-7 inch, 260-pounder joins Kyle Erickson and Erik Lenzen as the trio of offensive lineman that have already committed.
Rice is confident in his decision and hopes to touch the field early on.
"I committed because I like the school," he said. "I've heard great things about the atmosphere as well. ECU is where I wanted to go, I feel like I have an opportunity to play and be on the field."
ECU special teams and running backs coach Kirk Doll initially offered him in March, but offensive line coach Brandon Jones should get the assist for completing Rice's recruitment.
"Coach Jones was my main recruiter," Rice said. "He came to practice, watched me play, and talked to me after. He let me know he was interested and wanted me to play at ECU. I also remember him saying I was his number one player and that he was excited to teach me."
Despite playing defensive and offensive line in high school, Rice is prepared to reserve his talents strictly for offense. He mentioned he will be at the left tackle position for the Pirates.
As his aforementioned weight and height listing indicates, Rice is among the largest players of the class. But with his senior year just getting underway, Rice has challenged himself to get much larger and has big plans before signing anywhere this winter.
"I want to lead my team this season," he said. "I plan on grinding and being the best I can be. I want to keep my work ethic up so I can prepare for the next level."
Aside from ECU, Rice had also received offers from both Appalachian State, UNC-Charlotte and Liberty. He is glad to have made his decision early on and is feeling the love from the Pirate Nation.
"Its feels great," Rice said. "I feel like I made the right decision and I have no regrets. I'm extremely confident in the decision."
Rice is the third commit in the 2014 class to pledge to ECU without visiting the school. He plans on attending ECU's home game against Virginia Tech on September 14.

Senior Peer Counseling
The Senior Peer Counseling program works to connect volunteer Senior Peer Counselors with other older adults throughout Adams County. These volunteer counselors either meet at client homes or other community locations. One of the greatest benefits for participants is to know they have someone to see on an ongoing basis who can offer them support and understanding by relating to what they are going through in some way.
Volunteer Peer Counselors provide a safe, confidential environment to talk about life experiences and feelings, offer support to the participant who is exploring solutions to life's challenges, and may also know of resources within the community that can be of service to the participant.
Peer Counseling volunteers must complete an orientation and attend ongoing training and guidance meetings so that they are able to offer the best possible support for participants while being supported themselves in this fulfilling work. They meet with their participant for 1 hour every week or two for a 6-12 month period. Please call Senior Reach at 303-853-3657 for information, and if you are 55 or older and are interested in volunteering as a Peer Counselor then you'll need to contact Tom Rapp RSVP Dept. at 303-955-6609 at The Senior Hub, Inc. to register to volunteer.

Speaking to Pirate FM about the potential privatisation of traffic wardens. Alex Wild said:
"It can be done very well, or it can be done very badly, there are plenty of incidences of taxpayers getting bad value for money, but also there are plenty or arrangements where it is done very well, but you don't tend to hear about those.
"Waste collection is very regularly outsourced, but people don't tend to notice when these things go well, but they have to very diligent in the way in which they arrange and negotiate these contracts with new providers, and ensure tax payers are getting a good deal."

My interview with Kyle McSlarrow, head of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, aired tonight on C-SPAN. Here's a clip of his reaction to Google's broadband experiment and his thoughts on what it means for the cable industry.
"They're not planning on turning themselves into an internet provider. It's an experiment," he said.
"We make available today... much more than a gigabit of capacity of data. we're using it for high speed Internet, a lot of video, phone and other interactive services....but over time... as demand calls for it, we can start switching more and more capacity to the Internet side," he said. "We're already rolling out the fastest national broadband plan in America. That's not an announcement. That's real world, today."

|Director of Player Personnel
|3 Years
Dave Roberson enters his third season as the Red Wolves' Director of Player Personnel.
Roberson owns 10 years of working experience at the collegiate level, and in 2014 worked with a Red Wolves' team that posted a 7-6 record and played in the GoDaddy Bowl. The 2015 Red Wolves posted a 9-4 overall record, won the Sun Belt Conference championship with an unblemished 8-0 record and made an appearance in the New Orleans Bowl.
Prior to A-State, Roberson most recently spent the 2012-13 seasons as an assistant coach at Savannah State.
He operated as the Tigers' outside linebackers coach and recruiting coordinated last season. Roberson helped tutor linebacker Marquis Smith in 2013, when he was named All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference after leading the team in tackles (124) while also posting two fumble recoveries, a sack and an interception.
Roberson went to Savannah State from Penn State, where he served as the offensive quality control coach in 2011 to 2012. He served under Penn State head coaches Joe Paterno and Bill O'Brien during his time at Penn State.
Roberson was part of a successful Southern Miss football program, led by head coach Larry Fedora, during the 2010 season when he worked as a defensive assistant under defensive line coach Deke Adams.
Roberson spent the 2009 campaign at Notre Dame College of Ohio, where he was the special teams and linebackers coach as well as the recruiting coordinator. He assisted head coach Adam Howard successfully start an NCAA Division-II program and was directly responsible for overseeing the 2010 Signing Day class of 55 players.
While working as the co-special teams coordinator at Stonehill College in Easton, Mass., during the 2008 season, Roberson's special teams units finished the year among the leaders in several statistical categories in the Northeast Ten Conference.
Prior to his time at Stonehill, Roberson served as the Assistant Director of Football Operations and linebackers coach at Norwich University in 2006 and 2007.
Roberson was a four-year letterman at Wilmington College, where he played Linebacker and received his Bachelor of Science in Sport Management in 2003. Roberson is currently working on his Master of Science in Educational Leadership at Penn State University.

Parents might assume or expect that their teen stays away from alcohol, but think back to your own teenage years--did you totally abstain before you reached legal age? If you're honest with yourself, then you realize that it's likely that your underage child has at least been offered an alcoholic beverage, if not already indulged in one.

So rather than assume, "My child would never do that," it's important to educate yourself about underage drinking. Knowing the facts about underage drinking can help you prevent your teen from experimenting with alcohol.

1. It starts earlier than you think.

The average age that a boy first tries alcohol is a shockingly young 11, according to DoSomething.org, while a teenage girl often takes her first sip at age 13. In fact, in 2012, nearly three-fourths of students had drank alcohol by the end of high school and, surprisingly, more than one-third tried alcohol by eighth grade.

If you think you don't have to worry about your child trying alcohol simply because you don't think he's old enough again, think again.

2. It has a longer-lasting effect than you might expect.

Teens who start drinking at age 15 are five times more likely to become dependent on alcohol later in life than those who wait until age 21 or later. The effects of alcohol on an underage brain can change that brain's development, which can have lifelong effects.

Underage drinking has immediate consequences, too. Teenagers who drink heavily are three times more likely to try to hurt themselves via self-harm or attempted suicide, and often are the victims or perpetrators of physical or sexual assault. In school, a student that drinks is often plagued by high absence rates or poor grades and more often gets in fights.

And, of course, there's the consequence that a parent never wants to think about--death. The CDC's data from 2006 to 2010 determined that alcohol factored into the death of more than 4,300 underage people each year, including 1,580 car crashes, 1,269 homicides, nearly 500 suicides and almost 250 from alcohol poisoning, burns, falls or drowning.

3. Teens drink more in one session, often binge-drinking.

When a teenager drinks, he doesn't do so with safety in mind. While a teenager might drink less frequently than an adult, he typically "binge drinks," meaning he consumes more alcohol on one occasion--most often defined as 5 or more drinks in a row for a male and 4 or more for a female. Binge drinking significantly increases the risk of alcohol poisoning and making dangerous decisions.

4. It's not always safe or legal to serve your teens in your own home.

Some parents think the safest place for their teens (and friends) to drink is at home; however, many states have laws on the books about this situation. Certain states have "social host" laws that holds parents liable if an underage teen is drinking in their home, even if there are no ramifications. In other states, a parent can be held accountable if a teenager is in a car accident or similar situation after drinking in their home.

5. Your behavior can make a difference.

The way you drink around your child can influence their behavior; if your teen sees you regularly drink to excess or engage in risky behaviors, such as driving after too many drinks, then he will likely have the mindset that it's normal to do so.

This influence starts earlier than you might think. At age 6, a child typically thinks that alcohol is only for adults, but by age 9, they start to think that how you consume alcohol is OK. It's never too early to have a discussion about safe alcohol behaviors.

It doesn't have to be a normal occurrence for a teen to drink. Talk to your child about the risks of alcohol consumption, and make it clear that you expect him to wait until he's of legal age to imbibe.

A college in a West Bank settlement is about to become Israel's first university in the territories, pending a go-ahead from the Israeli military.
The Ariel University Center on July 17 was recognized as a full university by the Judea and Samaria Council for Higher Education, which handles educational concerns in the West Bank. The center, which has more than 10,000 students, Jewish and Arab, would be called Ariel University.
The 11-2 vote came despite a recommendation against approval by the planning and budget committee of Israel's Council for Higher Education, as well as opposition from the country's other seven universities and public figures who objected to upgrading a college located in the West Bank.
The final authorization for making the Ariel center a university will be made by the Israel Defense Forces' central commander in the West Bank, Maj.-Gen. Nitzan Alon. According to the Jerusalem Post, Alon is expected to back the decision.
In 2007, the Ariel academic center was granted temporary recognition as a so-called university center, with its status to be reexamined within five years. Ariel, with a population of about 20,000, is located southwest of the Palestinian city of Nablus.
Birzeit University, five miles north of Ramallah, is a Palestinian-run institution, with courses taught mainly in Arabic and English. — jta

Updated 5:54 p.m. ET
The Congressional Progressive Caucus said today that Rep. Allen West's remark linking the group to the Communist Party is "reminiscent" of Joseph McCarthy.
"Allen West is denigrating the millions of Americans who voted to elect Congressional Progressive Caucus members, and he is ignoring the oath they took to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution -- just like he did," said Reps. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., and Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., in a joint statement.
They said West, a Florida Republican and Tea Party favorite who has made headlines for some of his controversial remarks, is resorting to "personal attacks."
According to a story in the Palm Beach Post, West told a town hall meeting audience on Tuesday that the "he's heard" that up to 80 House Democrats are members of the Communist Party. He later added that he was referring to the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
West's comment was in response to being asked the question: "What percentage of the American legislature do you think are card-carrying Marxists or International Socialists?"
His office sent out a statement to the CBS affiliate in Miami explaining West's comment:
The Congressman was referring to the 76 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. The Communist Party has publicly referred to the Progressive Caucus as its allies. The Progressive Caucus speaks for itself. These individuals certainly aren't proponents of free markets or individual economic freedom.
Ellison and Grijalva said West's comment is "reminiscent of the days when Joe McCarthy divided Americans with name-calling and modern-day witch hunts that don't advance policies to benefit people's lives.."
An official with the Communist Party USA told Politico that there are no lawmakers in Congress who are party members. Libero Della Piana, a vice chairman of the party, said West's comment is a "sad ploy."
The Florida Democratic Party sent out an e-mail with a round up of clips about the West remark, saying the congressman "seems to be competing with Sarah Palin in the 'going rogue' department."
West once referred to himself as a "modern-day Harriet Tubman" trying to lead black voters away from a "plantation," his word for the Democratic Party.
And he got into a high-profile spat with Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, his colleague from Florida, when he called her "the most vile, unprofessional and despicable" House member.

Currents; Architects Of Future?
By ELAINE LOUIE
Published: October 18, 1990
TWELVE students are enrolled in a new graduate program in architecture at the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan. It is the first master's program in architecture to be established in New York State since 1979. The program was the idea of James Wines, who became chairman of the department of environmental design in 1984.
''I inherited an undergraduate interior design department that was still sort of stuck in the Magic Marker era of design,'' he said, ''somewhere between architecture and decorating.''
In 1986, the school began to offer a master of arts program in liberal studies in architecture and design criticism, in which 20 students are enrolled. The new degree is a two- or three-year program, depending on the student's undergraduate training.

One could argue with merit that there is no such thing as a time of certainty. People and events are more random than ordered and the best laid schemes of mice and men, as Robert Burns said, often go awry. Still, there is uncertainty and there is gut-twisting uncertainty.
You know you are in the latter sort of a reality when your employer sends out a memorandum advising you to be careful when you open the mail and indicates there is a supply of rubber gloves available to employees, as ours did on Monday.
We are all still trying to get our minds around the stunning terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, as well as the fact our leaders have declared war on terrorists around the world and are a week into heavy military activity in Afghanistan.
Now, we find ourselves getting hourly updates on reported cases of anthrax infection around the country. Among them, an employee of NBC News in New York, who is believed to have been exposed to anthrax by opening a piece of mail sent to her boss, news anchor Tom Brokaw, from Trenton.
Reading reports that New York City broadcasting company offices are "on lockdown" may seem bizarre. It looks as if it is going to become standard practice for many corporate offices.
Watching images of people wrapped up from head to toe in white gear collecting samples from office mailrooms and post offices would have seemed like a science fiction movie a couple of weeks ago. It's the nightly news.
Clearly, this is one of those moments in history when many of us feel we aren't quite sure how everything is going to turn out.
Are we headed for a full-out war of many years duration?
Are we finally, truly going to have to accept the open society we enjoyed for so long will no longer be possible?
Will we prevail over those who appear to have made us their number one target for hatred and destruction?
How will day-to-day life in America be different five years from now?
One of the many troublesome things we have heard in recent weeks is the immediate move on the part of some government agency heads to seek broader powers to search private homes and to tap more phone lines.
With government officials afraid they won't look like effective leaders if they aren't doing something, anything, to respond to the terror; these government bureaucrats are mostly getting their wishes enacted into law.
Think about that. We have learned in the weeks since Muslim extremists hijacked commercial airliners and crashed them into the Twin Towers in the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., that these guys were not exactly keeping a low profile.
Many of them have been in and out of our country several times in recent years despite the fact they were identified as terrorists. They went into flight schools flashing big wads of cash and told pilot instructors they didn't want to learn to take-off and land the planes, just to steer them.
They were snooping around crop duster planes, around airports, around power plants and chemical plants. They were asking suspicious questions. They left trails of credit card records of purchases of plane tickets, rental cars, motel rooms, restaurant meals and other purchases. They used their own names in many cases when they bought their plane tickets.
Despite all this, the agencies in the government charged with monitoring such people were unable to get a bead on what they were planning in time to prevent it, or at least to put out an alert of some sort to the likely targets.
Interestingly, after disaster struck, these agencies quickly fed lists of suspected and known terrorists to airlines, resulting in three men being flagged as they tried to board a New York flight three days after the attacks. Why wasn't this already being done?
The same government agencies told all of us it was safe to go back on planes. They said there would be armed sky marshals on flights and that cockpits would be made more secure. Last week, a man who reportedly had mental problems ran up the aisle of a commercial flight out of Chicago's O'Hare airport and threw himself on the cockpit door.
It popped open and he was soon grappling with a co-pilot and an off-duty pilot as the captain tried to fly the plane. Eventually, he was subdued with the help of some passengers. While it is an unhappy thing this troubled man went out of control on the flight, the real story is there apparently was no sky marshal and it is apparently still quite easy to get into commercial airliner cockpits.
Again, government officials have assured us they are addressing these things; but they obviously have not done so.
The leaders of the government agencies who have demonstrated a real lack of competence all around in this now suggest the solution is to give them more power to do what they clearly aren't doing very well anyway - monitoring people.
By tapping many more phone lines and searching many more homes, all they are doing is giving themselves more data to misinterpret, mismanage and, more importantly, misuse. One of the scariest requests we read about was a request government agents be given the right to do "sneak and peek" searches. Essentially, they are asking for the right to go into people's homes when they are out and have a look around.
We want all reasonable steps taken to secure people in their persons and property. We would argue to people who suggest we should allow government agents more authority to search and spy on us that they ought to be forced to prove they have exhausted all those reasonable measures before anyone even considers giving them the authority to use unreasonable ones.
This is an uncertain time, to be sure, but there should be no doubt that allowing government bureaucrats carte blanche to invade our privacy and impinge on our rights is not a good idea.

Kat Dennings Pictures
December 13, 2011 by staff
Kat Dennings Pictures, Kat Dennings is basically everywhere — on TV, in movies and probably on buses and billboards all around your town. She is currently staring in 2 Broke Girls and has been in movies like Dennings 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin,' 'The House Bunny,' 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,' and 'Thor.' Kat Dennings is our crush today for literally looking like the girl next door.
We've got a huge problem with that 'girl next door' phrase because most time it's completely off. Very few of us lived next door to a 5'10 blonde with a massive chest, flawless skin and looks that can stop gravity. The world seems to think those are the 'girl next door.' Kat Dennings looks like someone that did live next door. She also looks very approachable, and even kind of cool, and not like a a 5'10 blonde who would tell you to scram if you said a word to her.
Kat Dennings looks like a true girl next door. Hopefully, she will some day be the girl next door, after we find out where she lives and rent out the house next door. Too close? Fine. We'll rent out the basement of her house. It's got to be an upgrade from the basement we're living in now.

Berry's big bash a 'Ball' for all
By Kelly Carter and Jeannie Williams, USA TODAY
WEST HOLLYWOOD Halle Berry was the belle of Monster's
Ball Saturday night as the best-actress nominee was feted at Mirabelle restaurant
at a bash thrown just for her by Lions Gate Films, her longtime manager Vincent
Cirrincione and her sponsor, Revlon. She flew in to Los Angeles on Friday from
London, where she is working on the next James Bond film, then met with her
stylist, Phillip Bloch. For Saturday night's party, the attire was "fun and
fashionable," so Berry arrived at 8:30 p.m., dressed simply in black pants and
a soft white top she belted with a black-and-white sash.
She came with her husband, Eric Ben�t;
their daughter, India; Berry's mother, Judy Berry; and several close friends.
It took her at least 30 minutes to make her way to the
back, where a booth was reserved for her. One well-wisher who stopped her along
the way was Oscar presenter Oprah Winfrey. The two exchanged hugs and kisses
before making their way to adjoining booths.
While Winfrey eventually got to her seat, Berry stood in
the middle of the roped-off area and greeted everyone like a bride in a receiving
line. Among the well-wishers: Sean (P. Diddy) Combs, Lionel Richie, Angela Bassett
and hubby Courtney Vance, Samuel L. Jackson, Peter Boyle, James Marsden, Jill
Hennessy, Jamie Foxx, Lou Gossett Jr., director John Singleton, Roger Ebert
and Monster's Ball director Mark Forster.
"I just love Halle," Bassett said before nestling in a
booth between Winfrey and Berry. "We just love one another and support one another.
It's important."
Boyle, who played Billy Bob Thornton's racist father in
Monster's Ball, wasn't going to miss this soiree.
"My wife and my wonderful daughters are here visiting L.A.,
and I wanted to show them a good time," he said.
Combs, Berry's husband in Monster's Ball, said,
"I just wanted to congratulate Halle and let her know I support her and thank
her for giving me the opportunity to work in a film with her. She made everybody's
performance so great because she dug so deep."
Although the party kicked off at 8 p.m., many members of
black Hollywood, including Singleton and Foxx, showed up after 11 because they
attended the black Oscars. That event honored the three black Academy Award
nominees (Will Smith, Denzel Washington and Berry, who was unable to attend),
as well as Sidney Poitier.
Puttin' on the skits
"This is a very tough room," said Sting. He was waiting
for the noise to subside at Saturday's "Miramax Follies" party so he could perform
his Oscar-nominated song Until from Kate & Leopold. "Make it easy
for me." The crowd succumbed to his charm, though guests were jammed into the
outside terrace of Ian Schrager's Mondrian hotel in Los Angeles.
The "follies" are Harvey Weinstein's annual Oscar skits,
which poke fun at nominated movies. And nowhere else would you hear the down-and-dirty
candor of this little show. Miramax laid off some 75 staffers a week ago, and
Weinstein quipped, "I had to hire my daughter" (Lily) to hand out the chocolate
"Max awards" for the company's 15 Oscar nominations. Marisa Tomei and Sissy
Spacek were among recipients.
Judi Dench, Neve Campbell, Hugh Jackman, Alan Cumming and
Tom Wilkinson were among those who took part in short skits and songs. Benjamin
Bratt narrated "Am�lie of West Hollywood" (played by Campbell).
A short film starring Martin Scorsese was the supposed
winner of the next Project Greenlight movie, produced by Ben Affleck and Matt
Damon. They referred to the director as "a struggling writer from New York."
Scorsese said he couldn't possibly make his movie, Gangs of New York
(a real summer Miramax offering), for $1 million.
The last skit poked fun at the alleged smear campaign against
best-picture nominee A Beautiful Mind. It provided an opportunity for
Weinstein and Jeffrey Katzenberg, a DreamWorks honcho, to trade jesting insults.
Weinstein called Katzenberg a "suck-up" and "the eighth
dwarf," and Katzenberg said to the plump Weinstein, "If you gained one more
pound, you could have come as Rome." He called him "Shrek without a single
ounce of charm."
Weinstein said after the show, "I always invite the competition.
They all come. I bring them here so we can laugh this town has forgotten
'A real Hollywood party'
"This is a real Hollywood party," said writer and former
Hollywood denizen Dominick Dunne, gazing around Saturday's party for New Line's
nominees, The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring and I Am Sam.
The setting was the Beverly Hills home of Robert Shaye,
who runs the company with Michael Lynne, co-host for some 350 guests. The terraces
of the hilltop house have spectacular views of the L.A. skyline, with a picture-perfect
pool. Shaye is an art collector, and the walls of his home are lined with works
by Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon and Picasso.
A huge, carpeted tent was filled with buffet tables and
famous faces, including Ian McKellen, minus his Gandalf beard.
Producer Lawrence Bender (The Mexican) was the star
on the dance floor, with elegant moves. Chatting elsewhere were Rings
director Peter Jackson, who is working on cutting the second in the series;
Orlando Bloom of Rings, Blythe Danner and Bruce Paltrow, Anjelica Huston
and Robert Graham (her sculptor hubby), Harvey Keitel, Ted Turner, Gerry Levin,
Howard Stringer and Arianna Huffington.

An effective PP needs:
1 net guy, handedness irrelevant.
1 shooter.
1 pointman, same handedness as the shooter.
2 playmakers, opposite handedness of the shooter and pointman.
The Rangers optimal PP is either:
Net: Callahan
Shooter: Nash
PPQB: Del Zotto/McD/Moore/Brasard/Zuccarello
Low PM: Stepan
High PM: Strålman/Girardi
Needs a better RH playmaker up high.
2nd option, RH shot:
Net: Callahan
Shooter: Strålman
PPQB: Stepan
PMs: Brassard/Zuccarello/Del Zotto/Nash
Conclusion: Too few PP compatible RH shots on the roster.

Another season...another wreath around here! I love making wreaths for any occasion but I especially love fall and the décor that comes with it. I think Halloween may be my second favorite holiday, behind Christmas, thanks to all of the fun colorful décor!
But, before we get to Halloween decor, I want to share with you a simple, new wreath I made for fall.
Last year I made this wreath with leftover burlap and leopard ribbon plus I picked up some orange to make it pop for fall. I found the perfect sign to hang in the middle from Hobby Lobby:
This wreath is still one of my very favorites and is hanging on our front door again this year.
I noticed last weekend I had plenty of orange burlap, regular burlap, and this black and white gingham burlap left over from projects past. I also had an extra wreath form laying around and a black "M" I had picked up at a craft store last year. I decided to make a small fall wreath to hang on our storage door out on the patio.
Here are my supplies (all leftovers/extras I already had on hand):
-medium size wreath form
-extra plain burlap
-1.5 rolls of orange burlap
-extra black and white gingham burlap
-small size "M" black monogram letter
-black wire
And WAH-La!
I started with the plain burlap as the foundation. I didn't have very much of it so I only made 2-3 loops per wreath section. Next, I added lots of the orange burlap as filler since I had 1.5 rolls. Lastly, I wove the gingham burlap through the middle to fill in any holes.
I finished it by looping black wire through the hooks on the "M" and tying it off around the wreath hanger.
This is one of the simpler wreaths I've made but definitely another favorite for fall. The best part, it cost me $0 because I used supplies I already had on hand!
Stay tuned next week for a fun new deco mesh Halloween wreath! I can't wait!!!

RC-1140, who was nicknamed Fixer, but who preferred to be called RC-1140, was a very, very, very, very boring clone trooper who was part of Delta Squad. He was the only clone in the group without a personality.
Well, that's not entirely true. He did have a weird habit of speaking l33t when slicing computer systems, bragging about his "l33t hax0r skillz."

I was waiting for a bus towards Friendship Heights yesterday, and the traffic was slow. This guy in a brown van started telling me he loved my locs, that I had beautiful hair, who did my hair, and so forth, and he started making kissy faces at me. I gave him the "talk to the hand" (outdated, yet effective) and turned my head away. I then pull out my phone (the traffic was too slow for me to miss getting a photo of him) and he smiles, thinking I want his photo so I can admire how handsome he was. HELL NO! Did he not read the look of disinterest and disgust on my face? This man was clueless.
Out of all the people waiting for that bus at that stop yesterday, why was I singled out? Man.

Much has been said as to the power of energy medicine and its positive healing effect to your 7 chakras. Equally as important are meditation practices which also help to awaken a person's kundalini. The question remains, however, why is that important?
Swati Chopra explores the nature of kundalini in this recent Times of India post. According to Chopra, when kundalini flows optimally through the body's different energy channels, mental and physical diseases and disturbances dissolve. Chopra goes on to explain how proper mind and body preparation must happen in order to clean, strengthen, and open these channels to ultimately help free a person from the bondage of the ego.
If she has been properly aroused, the kundalini awakens and uncoils. Passing through each of the chakras located along the spine – the root chakra (muladhara), the sacral chakra (swadhisthana), the solar plexus chakra (manipura), the heart chakra (anahata), the throat chakra (vishuddha), the 'third eye' chakra (ajna) – she stimulates them, balances them, and draws upon their energy to power her ascent. She thunders to the end of the energy channel and pierces the sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head, blossoming out like a hundred-petalled lotus, and unites individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness.

text: Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. (" HOMI") (OTC BB: HOUM) presented its consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011. Mr. Daniel Cohen, HOMI's President, stated: "In 2011 we continued to execute our strategic plan, signing agreements with additional hotels. This year we successfully implemented our new business model with several hotels. Pursuant to this business model, HOMI receives loans from third parties secured by specific minibars, and such minibars continue to be installed, managed and operated by HOMI." "The results for the year, especially gross profits and gross profit margins, were affected by the additional expenses associated with the installations of the HOMI 232, open display minibars which we purchased from a third party. These third party minibars have not lived up to our expectations. However, our own minibars, the HOMI 330, are proving to be very reliable and we plan to exchange the HOMI 232 minibars in some of the hotels with our HOMI 330 and later, with the new generation HOMI 226, which we expect will begin production during June 2012. We continue with our efforts to reduce expenses, and going forward, this trend will continue, with 2012 being a year of significant cost savings across the board." Full Year 2011 results : Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 reached US$3,326,000, compared to US$3,201,000 in the year ended 2010, an increase of 3.2%. These revenues arise primarily from the sale of products in the minibars. The increase in revenues is mainly due to the increase of quantity of minibars installed and operated. For the year ended December 31, 2011, HOMI's three largest customers accounted for approximately 27.7% of the total revenues, compared to 30% in the year ended December 31, 2010. Gross Profit in 2011, after consideration of depreciation expense, was US$543,000, compared to US$754,000 in 2010. Gross profit margin decreased from 23.6% in 2010 to 16.4% in 2011. The decrease is mainly due to additional expenses relating to the new HOMI® 232 Minibars as these minibars require additional development. Although there was a slight increase in revenues, the cost of revenues grew even more. The economic situation does not allow the Company to increase the prices of the products offered in the minibars. Operating Loss in 2011 was US$1,315,000, compared to an operating loss of US$1,304,000 in 2010. The research and development of the HOMI ® 330, was completed in 2009. In 2011 the company incurred additional expenses to improve the production and functionality of the minibars. Total research and development expenses in 2011 were $109,000. Selling and Marketing expenses decreased to US$341,000 compared to US$368,000 in 2010. General and administrative expenses decreased from US$1,562,000 to US$1,408,000, due to the company's increased efforts made to reduce expenses. Net Loss in 2011 was US$1,745,000, compared to a net loss of US$1,904,000 in 2010. Cash and Cash Equivalents as of December 31, 2011 were US$345,000, including deposits, compared to US$772,000 as of December 31, 2010. Total Shareholders' Equity as of December 31, 2011 was US$1,176,000, compared to US$2,622,000 as of December 31, 2010. About HOMI HOMI is a multi-national service provider in the hospitality industry, supplying a range of services in relation to computerized minibars that are primarily intended for in-room refreshments.
