3. In response to this comment, the disclosure below has been included under “Selling Security Holders” on page 32.

“The following table sets forth the total profit or loss the selling stockholder could have realized as a result of the discount for the securities underlying the convertible promissory debenture issued in the March 2007 Private Placement assuming the selling stockholder converted the convertible note in full and sold the common stock on the date such debenture was issued. The purpose of this table is to illustrate potential profit or losses. At the time the convertible debenture was issued, the underlying shares of common stock were not registered. Therefore the selling stockholder could not actually have sold the shares at the time the convertible debenture was issued:

Date of Issuance
Market price per share of common stock on date of issuance
 
Conversion price per share on date of debenture issuance
 
Amount of shares of common stock underlying debenture

The following table sets forth the total profit or loss the selling stockholder could have realized as a result of the discount for the securities underlying the warrants issued in the March 2007 Private Placement assuming the selling stockholder exercised the warrants in full and sold the common stock on the date such warrant was issued.

8. In response to this comment, the disclosure below has been included under “Selling Security Holders” on page 30

“We intend to repay the convertible note through a combination of cash payments and through issuance of common stock upon conversion and we do not expect to, and based on current facts and assumptions reasonably believe that we will not, default on our obligations thereunder. The selling stockholder does not have an existing short postion in our securities. In addition, the selling stockholder has agreed, during the period in which the convertible debenture is outstanding, not to short our securities. “
 
9. On behalf of our client, we hereby confirm the only relationship between Marmion and the selling stockholder relates to the recent March 2007 Private Placement—which relationship is described in the prospectus.

10. In response to this comment, the disclosure below has been included under “Prospectus Summary Information” on page 3.

“We are initially registering a sufficient number of shares to cover conversions for the expected four “interest only” payments remaining under the convertible debenture issued by us to the selling stockholder in March 2007 which runs through August 2007 (based upon a $.0075 conversion price on the initial issuance date and interest only payments of $29,730.53). We may register additional shares in the future.”
