JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 26 February 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18450226-JWC-JW-01; CL 19: 39-41
[26 February 1845]
Dearest Babbie
Altho my last letter was the merest of duds, only to be excused by a crisis of "difficult circumstances," still I was glad, on receiving your packet of next morning, that I had written it such as it was. A letter not legally due, especially when it makes no allusion to its own generosity, gives no hint of its double claim to be answered, is always a touching fact for me, and the wee soft warm things were also a touching fact. so that besides being put into a rather "melting mood" of gratitude I should have felt a a certain twinge of remorse, but for the scrawl I had fired off at you the preceeding day, indicating that if I was sore hested [harassed] at all events I was not oblivious—
I did not wait for the indefinite event of putting on a bonnet to take the good of the wee cap. I mounted it on the spot, and it has never been off my head since, except when exchanged for my night cap—very comfortable it is and also very becoming. something betwixt the black scarf which I had grown to feel too fantastical for my actual circumstances, and the prosaic english white cap, which I had taken to "in wera desperation"1 One would say that since I have adopted this woolen juste milieu [happy medium] I have been (as they say of the funds) "looking up"— Certainly I am better within the last two days, I am not so weak, nor so hoarse, nor so feverish, nor do I feel such noble independence of victual, nor is my temper so very devilish— I still cough enough but Mr Fleming told me on sunday that he heard by the sound of my cough that "it was going"—a good journey to it! On the whole I have now good hope again that I shall recover entirely when warm weather comes—last week I was rather desperate about recovery under any circumstances
I have not tried either of your mixtures but keep them in reserve in case one which Mr Fleming brought me on Sunday fails of the splendid success he predicted for it— He is not a Dr Mr Fleming but worth a score such Drs as my Brotherinlaw. He has been urging this mixture on me for weeks back—but (as Mazzini says) I want energy—last Sunday when I told him I had still not tried it he said "nor ever will unless I get it mixed for you myself"— On leaving he went to a chemist's, and returned in half an hour, and gave the vial to Helen with directions that I was to "take one spoonful that night—two next day and the next day I should be quite well"— When one's natural helps prove so ineffectual; it is considerate of Providence to raise up such kindhearted strangers!
Had you seen what followed the writing of my last letter to you, you would have been of opinion that I had better have remained up stairs— I had just stretched myself on the sofa to rest when a carriage drove up like thunder with gay liveries glancing thro the very muslin blinds! and presently were announced—"The Prussian Ambassador and Madame the Ambassadress"!2 Madame I had never seen before with my bodily eyes, and besides being a grande dame she proved an immensely large one, and what was awfulest of all for me an immensely sensible one, and clever to death in church controversy! Mercifully Carlyle was in the house and speedily came to the rescue—but they staid, my dear, one hour and forty minutes by the clock! and all that while my sweet bread was kept waiting for me and I for it—and I had to talk talk—about matters I never talked of in my life before—and all the while I was haunted with—a presentiment of Plattnauer!—who after he left the Asylum used to go and kick up rows at the Embassy!3
But every thing has an end with time and patience—and so had this stately visit—nay in my normal state I should have found it a very agreeable one—for they are both very clever people in their way. There is a tide in the affairs of men4 in the matter of visits as of every thing else yesterday I had another pair of aristocratic strangers—Sir Harry Verney and Lady5— Arthur Helps had raved to me about this little woman so that of course I was not much struck with her—but she was interesting to me as being from West lothian, and a niece of Lord Hopetouns and Colonel Macleay6 All people I used to hear of so often in my wee existence. She is a nice friendly little thing, prettily bred and prettily spoken, and they say she is very clever and learned—but of that I saw no evidence which is perhaps paying a high compliment to her modesty—I should say from one hour's inspection of her that she belongs decidedly to the genus wersh [insipid]
It is quite curious to see the horror excited in some people (and these the least moral) by Geraldines book while the moralest people of my acquaintance either like it or are not at the pains to abuse it— Even Miss Wilson7 to whom I dared to lend it—tho she confessed to never having "ventured on reading a line of George Sand in her life" brought it back to me with a certain EQUANIMITY— "It is avowedly the book of an audacious esprit forte [strong spirit], and so of course you did not expect me to approve of it, nor do I, but I think it very clever and amusing"—voila tout [there you are]! While old and young roués of the Reform Club almost go off in hysterics over—its indecency.
The oddest thing of all is that Geraldine seems to me in the fair way of getting a Husband by it!!!— Robertson in a fit of distraction took to writing her letters of criticism about it which have led him already further than he thought—and she—has taken or is fast taking "a fit" to him—and both I can perceive contemplate a lawful catastrophe.8 THERE is encouragement to young ladies to write improper books—dearest love to my Uncle and the rest. Write soon, it will help to keep your soul warm—your poor body must take its chance
Your own /

This is from Nias. The swell was a weird direction and the main point was really small. So we went for a little boat ride to find this wave. Laurie was charging as usual, nice stand tall casual barrel.
This is Laurie having a good old time in the river near his home. His brother, who is a fisherman, organized a fishing trawler to drive past the banks of the river and make little waves for a Creative Destruction episode.
'I like surfing at the beach'. Another picture in Laurie's family house. I never found out if Laurie actually drew this. But Laurie does like surfing at the beach.
Two of Lauries favorite past times: Surfing and fishing. The garage is filled with a quiver abundant in both.
Laurie gets a lot of his exposure from charging big waves but he has the most well rounded game you can have. Airs, big waves and power.

It's obvious now.
I've figured out why I am not finding a "day job." I really have.
It has nothing to do with my age, my resume or my lack of computer skills.
What it does have to do with it life. I don't know why I couldn't figure it out earlier—it really is as plain as the proverbial nose on one's face.
Let's take a look at just the last year:
Last July, it seemed that I was forever being called into action to mediate family squabbles about people's lack of money management skills. I was also actually asked to come along and look at perspective new homes for those that had good money management.
Oh and there was that eight months of construction and fun on those two bathrooms.
August. I believe last August I was watching grandkids for several weekends, babysitting on some evenings and running errands for those who were working fulltime jobs and had no time to do some of the "emergency" runs for themselves. And, oh yes, the bathroom remodeling project.
September. I spent part of it babysitting and running to Phoenix to lend moral support so that our daughter and son-in-law could go to interviews and get jobs FOR THEMSELVES. Don't forget, still no tub or totally working toilet in the master bath.
October. Watched my son and daughter-in-law move out and leave me with the dreaded "empty nest syndrome" for almost a week. After which I completely took over the role of parenting our grandkids until the end of November. Did this while keeping them safe from the harm's way of lollygagging plumbers, painters and cabinet-makers. Oh my!
November. Read above.
December. Got my annual case of "the world's worst bronchitis attack" and rheumatoid arthritis flares all at the same time.
January. That was a fun month. While taking a very innocent power walk and figuring out how to write several upcoming articles at the same time (okay, I was also listening to my IPod Shuffle) I fell and removed many layers of skin from one knee, dislocated part of a shoulder and broke my hand. I was in some sort of a Tramadol fog until mid-February. I did manage to finally got rid of the contractors.
February. Went to Vegas with hubby and our son and daughter-in-law on their business trip and then veered off to Phoenix to spend some time and sing Happy Birthday to the grandkids. See above for the rest.
March. Besides continuing to write a lot while in pain, I was in a lot of physical/occupational therapy and going to a whole lotta doctors appointment.
April and May. My son's marriage was practically upon us. It was officially wedding crunch time. I spent the time looking for a dress, bridal shower, looking for a dress, rehearsal dinner, wedding, all the rest-oh and I was taken on a Mother's Day cruise.
June. Nephew's graduation. I was also having a stretch with a run of high blood pressure and was told to keep things as calm as possible.
And now here's July again. We babysat our furry grandkids. Good thing, our grand-border collie, Lily, let us know that our own darling lab-mix, Sunshine, was really SICK! Ick. Spent a day sterilizing the floors and tending to the sick pooch. It was a day at the vet next, where I was told I have to minister small meals and meds three times a day for the next eight days.
Coming up: There's the colonoscopy, the dentist, the dermatologist and the rheumatologist.
I can't get a "day job"; I'm too busy working…

Jane Lynch doesn't have a bullhorn endorsement deal yet, but that's about all she's missing. In the meantime, this sublime comic actress has etched herself into our pop-culture consciousness in ways that continue to delight her. This year she took home an Emmy for her performance as the unapologetically fearsome cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on Glee, and she got a second nomination for playing Charlie Sheen's dryly cynical therapist on Two and a Half Men. A wax figure of Lynch as Sue, in all her tracksuited glory, is now on display at Madame Tussauds Hollywood. She hosted VH1's Do Something! Awards with so much brio and confidence, it was as if she'd been headlining her entire life, and she received one of the ultimate comedy accolades when she was asked to host Saturday Night Live in early October. Today, when she strolls into a West Hollywood café—six feet tall, with her signature short, cowlicky blond hairdo, lopsided smile and rolling gait—she's spotted instantly, and the tweets start ricocheting through cyberspace, their gist being "Holy smokes! Jane Lynch just walked in!"
For Lynch, this sudden burst of fame is the culmination of a journey that began in 1993 with a bit part as best friend to Harrison Ford's doctor on the lam in The Fugitive and picked up steam with her hilarious turn as the butchily efficient poodle trainer in Christopher Guest's improvised mockumentary Best in Show. But she has also made a staggering number of appearances in other movies and TV shows—more than 135 of them.
"I would show up for one day or maybe five," says Lynch, drinking iced tea at an outdoor table and wearing a navy blue tank top, loose beige slacks and an expensive-looking pair of sunglasses. "You get to shake hands with the stars, and you can go on the crafts-services truck; they won't kick you off. I was grateful to have the work. Every time I went to an audition, nobody knew who I was, so it allowed me to do a lot of things, not just stick to one genre."
Now that everyone knows who she is, couch potatoes are constantly being startled by her fleeting, Was-that-really-her? rerun appearances in procedurals like JAG (guesting as a Wiccan soldier who participates in naked bonfire parties), batty comedies like Arrested Development (playing an FBI agent named Cindi Lightballoon) and evening soaps like The L Word (on which she played a controlling, tie-wearing feminist attorney). Sometimes, as with her role as a sexually overconfident electronics-store manager who offers to deflower Steve Carell in the hit film The 40-Year-Old Virgin, her part (minus the sexual overtones) was originally written for a man. The seduction idea "came out of our improv," Lynch says, "so they put it in the script."
"That moment when she turns into a wild sex maniac? I thought it was one of the most remarkable performances I've ever seen," says writer-director Nora Ephron, who ran over to introduce herself to Lynch at a premiere and later cast her in the role of Julia Child's sister in Julie & Julia. "She doesn't use funny voices or shout at you; she's just funny. It's always that way with truly funny people."
It was during one of Lynch's guest-star turns—on the WB's short-lived teen soap Popular, on which she played the triple role of serial killer, travel agent and CDC official—that she met and befriended the quirky show's creator, Ryan Murphy. Nine years later, when the brass at Fox suggested to Murphy that what he needed for his new musical-comedy series Glee was a classic villain within the high school, he didn't miss a beat. He told the network executives that he had a cheerleading coach named Sue Sylvester in mind and that Lynch was the actress to play her.

NEW ORLEANS - After Tulane baseball defeated High Point 11-10 on Sunday, the baseball squad - along with fans and other athletes - shaved their heads to raise awareness for pediatric cancer, raising over $10,000 for the Vs. Cancer Foundation in the process.
Half of the money raised will be used towards finding a cure for pediatric cancer, and the other half was donated to Ochsner Hospital in order to build a new teen room for children who are battling cancer.
"I don't think today could have gone much better," said Chase Jones, founder of the Vs. Cancer Foundation. Chase is also the nephew of Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones, and a pediatric cancer survivor. "We raised this money in about three weeks, which is not a lot of time."
The entire baseball roster participated in the head shaving event after the day's ball game. A pediatric cancer patient named Ethan visited the third baseline, where he helped shave the head of Tulane outfielder Briggs Barrios.
"I think for him to come in and shave a guy's head, knowing that we are turning around and helping his treatment this year is a very tremendous feat we pulled off," said Chase Jones. "I watched Ethan's dad cry tears of joy while his son shaved Briggs' head."
Fans were able to join in on the festivities. For a donation of $50, the Green Wave faithful took to the clippers to have their heads shaved, as well.
Chase Jones was an 18-year-old freshman at the University of North Carolina when he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. When his teammates on the Tar Heel baseball squad shaved their head in solidarity to honor him, he was touched.
After Chase was treated at MD Anderson in Houston, he was given a clean bill of health, and he has spent his adult life raising funds and awareness for pediatric cancer. In December, he founded the Vs. Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving kids' lives by empowering athletes and communities to fund lifesaving childhood cancer efforts. Chase travels around to different high schools and universities, giving athletic teams the opportunity to use their platform to raise money for a worthy cause.
"Being an 18-year-old and being diagnosed with cancer put me in a world that I could see what childhood cancer was like, and it also allowed me to see the impact collegiate athletes can have," said Chase. "After I was diagnosed, the prognosis was great. I was blessed though, and when I got out of treatment, my teammates shaved their heads in honor of me. It was a very powerful statement. Over the course of the remainder of my collegiate career, the idea just kept coming back. We continued shaving our heads, but by my junior year, we started raising money behind it, and I realized that student-athletes really had the platform to raise money and bring awareness to the situation." Childhood cancer is the number one disease killer of children. Thirty-six children are diagnosed with cancer each day in the United States, and over 175,000 are diagnosed annually, worldwide.

Tomorrow night at UFC 169 in Newark, New Jersey former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber will once again attempt to win UFC gold as he challenges bantamweight champion Renan Barao. Faber's bout with Barao will mark his third UFC title fight since 2011 and many are questioning if this will be the 34 year old's final opportunity at championship.
Faber's 2012 bid for the interim UFC bantamweight title against Renan Barao ended with a unanimous decision loss and even then people were questioning if Faber would be able to climb the mountain again. Four impressive wins, and an injury to now former bantamweight champion Dominic Cruz and Faber is right back in the mix fighting for a belt.
Faber's last four fights have proven that he is still a serious contender. Three of Faber's four victories came by submission and by no means did Faber look like a guy who was slowing down. Faber's four wins all came in 2013, making it even more impressive.
Faber did in one year what many do in two. Three of the four guys Faber defeated are currently in the top 15 according the UFC bantamweight rankings.
Based on recent performance, it is not fair to say that Faber is no longer fighting at a high level, because he is. There is no question about his talent either. Faber is one of the most well rounded fighters in the UFC. He is a multi-faceted, diverse striker, with great speed and quickness. Faber is also a high level wrestler and submission fighter.
Should Faber lose to Barao a second time, a move to another division may be the only option. A move back up to featherweight would present some new fights for Faber. Even catchweight fights with lightweight fighters would be interesting. A win for Faber would certainly set up a rematch with Barao, and possibly Cruz sometime down the road.
Faber will walk out of UFC 169 with options no matter what the outcome is. However, the outcome of Faber's fight with Barao will determine his path moving forward. This fight is without a doubt the most important fight of Faber's career.
While the importance of this fight is huge, Urijah Faber is far from finished as a top level fighter. At 34, Faber continues to improve and looks better then ever. UFC 169: Barao vs Faber airs live on pay per view tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. central time.

In the market today, there are nuances in the definitions of quality that vary among different market sectors. Gerry LaRue, coffee buyer for Partners Coffee in Atlanta, Georgia points out that "For growers the term quality typically means the variety of coffee tree, the characteristics of the land on which it grows (soil and altitude), and the climate. For roasters, quality means a consistent product with no defects and that develops in the cup through roasting. For consumers, quality is value of a product that is predictable and good tasting. The roasters' job is to tie grower aspirations to consumer expectations - to link these divergent definitions in the creation of a quality product - an increasingly complex job, which is made somewhat easier by experienced importer support."
The experience of specialty coffee is what draws consumers. As Fulmer points out, "Consumers will go to a coffee shop and pay a per cup price that is many times more than the cost of brewing specialty coffee at home. It is the convenience, ambiance, and allure of specialty that customers are willing to pay for."
From a consumer's perspective of quality, there are often subjective elements that lie in their interpretations of a quality product, and increasingly these subjective elements involve environmental and social issues. This is where roasters can find flexibility to begin to work with changing consumer expectations to fit the long-term needs of the industry. Emerging market niches such as organic, shade grown, and fair trade coffees have given a growing number of companies a new quality definition and point of differentiation on which to compete.
Incorporating Sustainability & Social Responsibility
As the specialty industry arrives at the crossroads of the 21st Century, a truly comprehensive definition of quality is needed. No longer is it sufficient to offer just a good tasting brew under the banner of "specialty coffee." Ted Lingle, SCAA's executive director says that "all of us should realize that in the next millennium, good won't be good enough anymore. If we are going to prosper as an industry in the future, we need to set our sights on a commitment to excellence and total quality, which encompasses quality of life, quality of the cup, and quality of the environment."
While this kind of all-encompassing view seems far-fetched to many at present, it does resonate with a growing number of industry participants. "There is certainly cynicism over [this kind of statement], and support from many at origin as well as here in the U.S. At the beginning, specialty coffee didn't originally fit into the mainstream either" recalls Fulmer, "and now it is the only segment where there is excitement and growth. Hopefully this idea will do the same."
The true impact of this evolution toward total quality will come from specialty coffee businesses incorporating sustainability and social responsibility into every day transactions, not just as an afterthought. This means supporting growers in their businesses throughout the year, and as a complement, based on profits, making charitable donations to community development projects in coffee producing regions. In this way, the successes of the industry are shared across borders and make specialty coffee a win-win for all players for the long run.
This idea of total quality for specialty coffee may be an idea whose time has come. As Paul Katzeff, president of Thanksgiving Coffee believes, "The specialty industry is the caring part of the industry", compared to the big commercial roasters. "When the SCAA board resolved, without deliberation, the theme of Bridge to the 21st Century - Quality, Sustainability and Social Responsibility for the 2000 conference," he continues, "it was as if to choose our point of differentiation, and the difference between them and us is a caring component of sustainability and social responsibility. This will be the point of differentiation for the specialty coffee industry for the next century."
Next month the series will look at sustainability issues for the specialty coffee industry.
Kimberly Easson is president of JavaVentures, a marketing consulting firm with a mission to strengthen the relationship between coffee producing and consuming countries. JavaVentures also offers educational coffee tours to Latin America and Hawaii, and tours to the U.S. for coffee producers. Kimberly has been an active coffee industry professional for more than eight years, four of which were spent in Costa Rica. She can be reached at: Tel., (415) 824-1484, Fax, (415) 264-8121, e-mail:

On May 12, 2008, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit China's Sichuan province. The quake, whose epicenter was just 50 miles northwest of the densely populated city of Chengdu, affected over 15 million, injured 350,000 and tragically claimed the lives of as many as 70,000 people.
Schools were particularly hard hit by the quake—at least 7,000 school buildings in Sichuan Province collapsed. Tragically, more than 5,000 children were killed.
OpUSA partnered with Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the philanthropic arm of Honeywell Corporation, to reconstruct a village-level primary school that now serves over 450 students. A ribbon-cutting for the Honeywell Three Villages United Primary School was held in May 2009.
Operation USA and Honeywell remain committed to the recovery process in China. Second phase projects are underway and include the construction of five primary care health clinics in Liangping County, Chongqing, as well as the construction of a second primary school.

Well Economic Justice Happen for North America's Indigenous People?
By Terrance H. Booth, Sr. – Nishwilgun (Keeper of the Gun Power) Tsimshian
In America under 44 presidents' economic and social justice and equality has not ever happen for the Alaska Native and Native American Peoples. The late Vine Deloria, Jr. writes: "When we come to see federal historical setting, we are led to some rather unsettling conclusions. Within perspective of Indian-white conflict there is no question that the major thrust has been one of dispossession of the natives by those colonizing the continent. The first response in formulating a policy of the United States was the naïve belief that moving natives westward toward the uninhabitable regions would be sufficient to resolve the question of primacy in political and economic affairs. Within this setting, however, some care was taken to protect the legal identity and cultural integrity of the tribes. True, missionaries also did yeoman work in the translation of the Bible and some political documents of the United States into the native languages, and missionaries, most prominently Samuel Worcester, went to prison in an effort to help the tribes protect their national status." [1] Today Republicans are still targeting Alaska Native and Native American Programs more than any other minority and Indian Country, USA; for they have been the hardest hit by Republican Sequestration and, again, the federal government has failed and not ever has poverty been eliminated from America's Indian People. Current GOP are not listening to those that have elected them but listening to those who made their campaign possible with campaign contributions. "It's time for Congress to answer this moral and legal call to action so that AI/AN peoples can finally look forward to prosperity and progress for future generations, rather than some of the worst and most chronic rates of poverty, health, and education." [2] The Indigenous Peoples of North America have more with stood many tests with oppression, outright hate, termination policies even today such policies dim the path to being prosperous, handling their own affairs specifically coming from the brilliant minds of our Native Peoples. Some tribes have done it on their own drawing their tribal people out of poverty. One success that can be replicated across Indian Country and for Corporate America to take note is; The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians who when from being in poverty and now the third largest employer in that state. The beginning of the 20th century found Mississippi Choctaws struggling to overcome poverty, discrimination, and lack of opportunity. In 1918, the Bureau of Indian Affairs opened an office in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Over the next decade, the agency established elementary schools in the Choctaw communities and built a hospital in Philadelphia for tribal members. In 1945, the tribe received federal recognition, and a tribal government was reestablished. Over the next 55 years, the tribal government regained control of Choctaw schools, health care facilities, legal and judicial systems, and social service programs, setting the stage for a period of economic growth unparalleled in tribal history. The completion of an 80-acre industrial park in 1979 was the first step in the development of a diversified industrial economy for Mississippi Choctaws. Twenty-one years later, the tribe operates a dozen business and industrial enterprises and is among the five largest employers in the state of Mississippi. [3] Successful Native Non-profit is Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians that has partnered up with Salish Kootenai College that accredits their conference training session on tribal economic development. [4] Another successful Native Non-profit is National Center for American Indian Economic Development focusing on contracting and been successful at it for several decades. Some Alaska Native and Native American tribes are in the Fortune 500 Companies level. [5] What are tribes doing for states economically? Look at a few tribes are doing to the states having gaming: 1. CREATING JOBS AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS FOR All WASHINGTONIANS Economic Impact Washington tribes contributed more than $3.5 billion to Washington's gross state product (GSP), according to a Taylor Policy Group study conducted in 2011. Washington tribes purchased more than $2.4 billion in goods and services from private companies. More than $1.3 billion was paid in wages and benefits to 27,300 employees, including 18,000 non-tribal member employees. State and local taxes paid by suppliers and employees amounted to $255 million. In addition to annually recurring purchasing and payroll impacts, Washington's tribes also invested $259 million in construction of buildings and infrastructure, generating an additional $12.4 million in state and local tax revenue. [6] 2. For Arizona: The Economic Impact of Tribal Government Gaming in Arizona Economic Impact Revenue from Arizona's 22 casinos far surpassed cattle, cotton and citrus in the most recent figures available for each. Casinos took in nearly $1.7 billion during fiscal 2011, which ended June 30, according to the Arizona Department of Gaming's annual report. [7] Several non-profits including schools, hospitals, and other non-profits have received contributions from the Indian Casinos of Arizona. 3. For California: California Impact of Tribal Gaming • "Our analysis shows that California tribal gaming generates $7.5 billion for California's Economy: In 2010 alone, $7.5 billion in economic activity as supported by Indian gaming operations. Of that amount, more than half ($3.9 billion) was generated outside of direct spending from the gaming operations. That means that businesses throughout California's economy — the vast majority of which are non-tribal — are being buoyed by Tribal gaming. •California tribal gaming creates more than fifty-two thousand jobs and $2.7 billion in income for Californians: The Beacon analysis concludes that tribal government gaming is an increasingly important pillar of job creation in California, supporting more than 52,000 good-paying jobs across the state and generating over $2.7 billion in income. The study estimates that upwards of 80% of casino employees are non-tribal members, and finds that many tribal gaming jobs are filled by lower-skilled workers, those hurt most by the economic downturn. • Tribal gaming generates $467 million in revenues supporting essential local and state services: According to the study, tribal government gaming operations generate $467 million in state and local revenues, and non-gaming operations provide an additional $47 million in state and local revenues. • Tribal government gaming has provided $818 million in critical support to non-gaming tribes: Revenue generated by tribal gaming provides essential support to non-gaming tribes, funding a range of services including education, health care, and housing. Non-gaming tribes receive up to $1.1 million annually from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund. To date, the analysis shows that $818 million has been distributed to help reduce the reliance of non-gaming tribes on state and local governments. • California gaming tribes foster safe and healthy communities, active philanthropic giving: Many California gaming tribes sponsor police and fire departments to relieve strained county officials and protect tribal and non-tribal community members, according to the report. Tribal gaming revenues also support local health and dental clinics for tribal and non-tribal residents in critical areas where these services are not readily available. The study also reports that gaming their surrounding communities." [8] 4. For Oklahoma: Oklahoma Impact with Tribal Gaming "The Cherokee Nation's total economic impact on Oklahoma grew since 2010 by about 25 percent, bringing it to $1.3 billion during 2012.The total economic impact is derived from looking at jobs directly contributed by the tribe, vendor purchases, vendor growth and spending as a result of those jobs in the Cherokee Nation and Cherokee Nation Businesses, the tribe's business arm. "$1.3 billion. Think about what that effect has on you, your friends and neighbors," Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker said. "We are truly the engine that drives economic growth in northeast Oklahoma." 5. Nation-wide Economic Impact of Tribal Gaming In 2012, Indian gaming is starting to show the consistent growth it had before revenues began falling off in 2009. In 2009, revenues fell from $26.7 billion to $26.5 billion, a 1% drop. In 2010, Indian gaming revenue was flat at $26.5 billion. In 2011, Indian gaming revenues jumped to an all-time high of $27.2 billion, which was a 2.5% increase from the previous year. For 2012, Indian casino revenues grew by 2.3% over the previous year to $27.8 billion, another industry high. In the current period, tribal gaming generated an overall economic output of $62.1 billion. This represents an economic output of $20.1 billion on the Indian reservations, where the gaming enterprises are located, and an economic output of $42 billion off reservation. As Indian gaming grows, it will continue to contribute billions of dollars to local, state and federal treasuries, reducing the burden on taxpayers while also providing jobs to hundreds of thousands of United States citizens. [9] Since the USA Government is not to be trusted by the tribes having to file a class action suit to regain only a portion of what was mismanaged. Some details on the mismanagement of Indian Trust Fund: "In 1996 banker Elouise Cobell filed a class action lawsuit charging the government mismanaged more than $100 billion in oil, timber, grazing and other royalties on land owned by some 500,000 individual Indian beneficiaries. After a trial in June 2008, Judge James Robertson ordered that the government is responsible for about $455 million of missing Native American money. The Native American plaintiffs expressed disappointment at the verdict, which holds the government accountable for only a fraction of the amount descendants claim to be owed, and have not yet said whether they will appeal. In early December 2009, the government offered and the plaintiffs accepted a settlement in this 13-year-old case. The settlement provides $1.4 billion to be shared among the plaintiffs (yielding just $1000 per plaintiff). The federal government commits another $2 billion to buy up small shares of scattered properties from their current owners. The settlement includes the creation of a "$60 million federal Indian Education Scholarship fund to improve access to higher education for Indian youth, and ... a commitment by the federal government to appoint a commission that will oversee and monitor specific improvements in the Department's accounting for and management of individual Indian trust accounts and trust assets, going forward." [10] Tribes of Indian Country, USA should give serious consideration to establishing a Native Nationwide Permanent Fund and start to grow revenues to specifically address eliminating poverty from all of our Native People and Children. For recently a class-action law suit was completed because of gross mismanagement of the Indian Trust Fund. "Alaska Permanent Fund Value (in dollars) of Alaska PFD checks paid out by state to residents since dividend program inception: $20.1 billion." [11] Tribes can replicate the Alaska Permanent Fund and set aside gaming earnings to grow funding too specifically target poverty, improve education, establishment of more Tribal Colleges to address professional development, develop curriculum that targets social and economic needs of Indian Reservations settings, establishment of Regional Tribal Business Incubators targets keeping dollars on the Indian Reservation Settings, establishment of Indian Reservation Native Businesses to keep dollar spending on Tribal Reservations and in-depth tribal economic analyzes to see what other Native Businesses can be placed on Tribal Lands to stop all the economic leakages of any Tribal Reservation. Structured for profitability and unification of all tribes to become self-sufficient and self-sustaining building a Native Nation economy for the here and now and into the future establish life-long progress to richness instead of keeping with the status quo. We can prosper from ourselves as Natives for our spending power is: Native Americans' Buying Power Native Americans' buying power has increased from $19.6 billion in 1990 to $87.3 billion in 2010, and is projected to climb to $147.7 billion in 2017. [12] The percentage change in Native Americans' buying power between 1990 and 2017 is 653.6%, higher than the percentage change for most other racial/ethnic groups. [13] Native Americans' share of the consumer market was 0.8% in 2010. [14] Another words instead of prospering from hand-outs of the Federal Government we can prosper ourselves from our own Native revenues. We create Native businesses on the reservation settings that stops all the economic leakages and this in of itself will prosper with substantial wealth for Native reservations What does buying local do to the local economies?

Literature & Latte has introduced Scapple, a project planning and organization tool for Mac OS X (10.6.8 or higher).
Scapple is designed to help you get ideas down quickly and make connections between them. More like a freeform text editor, it allows you to make notes anywhere on the page and to connect them using straight dotted lines or arrows.
Creating notes can be done by double-clicking anywhere on the canvas and then typing. Making connections between ideas involves dragging and dropping one note onto another. Notes can also be dragged from Scapple into Scrivener, Literature & Latte's content-generation program.
Scapple is now available for purchase from www.literatureandlatte.com/scapple.php for US$14.99. A fully-featured, 30-day trial is also available for download.

I have an update manager icon. I can right-click it and select either "Check for Updates" or "Install all Available Updates". Both of these appear to do something useful. If I do the former first, it changes the icon to reflect how many updates are pending.
However, selecting "Update Manager" from that menu does nothing. Similarly, selecting "Software Updater" from the top system menu does nothing.
When I first installed 12.04, this wasn't happening. It started happening a couple of weeks ago.

If KDC simply campaigns on honesty and transparency he will trump the offerings of all existing political parties.
This article is tagged with the following keywords. Find out more about MyNBR Tags
13 Comments & Questions
Interesting article with some facts not previously apparent. I disagree that Dotcom's only attractive to younger voters, as a boomer past my use by date albeit still productive commercially his stance on Internet and Spying issues resonates strongly with me so would not rule out party voting for him, will depend on how Conservatives fare as at present the possibility of seeing Binding referenda as a tool to keep politicians honest and reflecting majority opinion more important than Dotcom's Internet/spying stance. A party that encompassed both - well that would be a sure fire vote winner.
I don't believe a new or small party needs to have policy on everything, concentrate on key issues important to target market and be clear on what you are trying to achieve and be knowledgable and cogent in dealing with unimportant issues like - did man land on the moon - who cares its not relevant to political issues and only a total Moron would ask such a question. Likewise constant references to past personal history as a negative connotation should reflect on the multitude of politicians some currently in Parliament who have committed financial crimes - Winston/Helen Clark and probably others whose true history of incompetence or complicity is yet to be revealed. Commentators and media should stick to the facts or issues and only bring in personal issues were they are relevant to and explain that relevance so the listener is informed.
Mr Edwards writes a fascinating summation.
There is however an angle that might be labelled John Keys nightmare and that is when the 'Revenge of the Nerds' turns into very real voting numbers not just from the youth market, but a major injection of seniornet type internet savvy grey hairs. The more thoughtful old folk, and I gladly wear that label also, are very much followers of the George Carlin philosophy on politics and politicians.
At my grand age would I give Dotcom a vote ? Even just for sport...You bet.
DOTCOM is fighting extradition to the US to face internet piracy charges.
If found guilty he will spend a considerable amount of time in goal.
How does he avoid this?
1. Delay the process by countless court appeals, spiced with lawyers statements describing what a victim DOTCOM is
2.Make lots of public appearances accompanied with press releases given to journalist in bite sized pleases easy to digest
3. Form a political party, gain further public support, gain a platform to denigrate those who he feels are against him
At the end of this process does he get on the plane or avoid his day in Court?
Am I being cynical or is this just a rich guy with lots of money and resources manipulating gullible old NZ?
Is he manipulating or just thumbing his nose at the political establishment. A lot of people will be happy to join him in doing that. Rather than feel manipulated, they will probably enjoy that opportunity.
So it's all about sticking it to the man. Radical.
Actually, if KDC does manage to get his party up and running, and he is extradicted to the US prior to the election, he will garner a significant amount of sympathy from the various groups he appeals to and in turn, undoubtedly attract a lot more votes. Interesting times.
Because other politicians aren't like that at all....
Well Mr joking right, you are a bit stuffed.
Look around you all your work colleagues and especially your boss, every one of them angsting and stressing with self interest.
No place for you in politics either, greens supporting self interested al gore, Young nats supporting any cuckoo they can help manipulate into a safe seat and I could go on.

There are two things I love in this life, and those are video games and heavy metal music. Brutal Legend is one of those games that combines both.
Brutal Legend is a game about Eddie Riggs, a roadie for a nu-metal outfit called Kabbage Boy. During an accident on stage, Eddie is seemingly killed when a stage decoration falls on him. His blood flows into his belt buckle, and is transported to another world that Eddie takes an immediate liking to. Eddie finds himself in a world where every landscape looks like it belongs on a heavy metal album cover. Not only that, but his guitar now has the ability to attack and do other things, not just make music.
Brutal Legend is an adventure game with vehicle combat and hand to hand combat. Not only that, but the major battles take place in stage battles, where you defend your stage against the enemy. Eddie's army has classes that go with rock and metal themes, like headbangers, razor girls, and bass-playing healers. This "battle of the bands" concept is inventive, and it's also available for online multiplayer (if the servers are still on, that is).
The voice talent in this game is great. Jack Black voices Eddie Riggs, Rob Halford voices General Lyonwhyte (who looks like David Bowie with really long hair) and the Fire Baron (who resembles Halford more), Lemmy Kilmeister voices the Kill Master (a healer who looks a lot like the real Lemmy), Lita Ford voices Rima (the leader of a tribe of women who paint their faces like KISS), and Ozzy Osbourne voices the Guardian of Metal (the most coherent Ozzy's been in a while). Tim Curry voices Doviculus, the main antagonist. Kyle Gass, Jack Black's long time Tenacious D partner, appears along with comedian and noted metalhead, Brian Posehn. Another selling point of the game is the soundtrack. Filled with songs by bands such as Diamond Head, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Cradle of Filth, and King Diamond, it's a good way to discover bands you might have missed, and listen to old favorites.
Brutal Legend is an awesome game, brilliantly written and well designed. You can easily find it in any bargain bin.

Match 26: Arizona (11-14, 0-6) vs. No. 53 Utah (14-7, 2-4)
Time/Date: 11:00 a.m. PT – Friday Apr. 18
Where: Tucson, Ariz. – LaNelle Robson Tennis Center
Live Stats: arizonalivestats.com
By Jordy Clifton
College athletes come in as freshmen wide eyed and ready to learn. Whether they take their first step on the court, field, track or jump into the pool, they get an indescribable feeling of joy and excitement.
Once they hit senior year they know that it is time to step up and show leadership.
For senior tennis players Mario Urquidi and Kieren Thompson, they know the struggles of college, but have both grown tremendously in their game and leadership.
"They are our leaders each in their own ways," said head coach Tad Berkowitz. "Kieren is our vocal guy, he's the one who speaks when he feels the team needs to get something going. He knows when it is time to pump the guys up and when to get a little tough on the guys as well. Mario brings the energy with his work ethic every single day. It doesn't matter if his ankle is hurting him or if he has a test the next day. He has always been that 'blue collar workhorse' for us."
Berkowitz has seen both players improve and learn on and off the court.
In 2013 Thompson was Arizona's winningest player and this season Urquidi has gone 13-11 including winning three of his last four matches.
Transforming from freshman to senior teammates has been a process on and off the court.
"When you come in as a freshman, you don't really know what is going on," Urquidi said. "Our sophomore year, we lost a lot of our seniors. After that we were the older guys on the team right away. We have been trying to build a reputation of working hard for what you want to achieve. Now that we are seniors, Kieren and I are looked up to as the role models on the team."
Thompson and Urquidi have tried to show leadership not only on the court or in the weight room but in the classroom as well.
"We are not only seen as guys who the team can look up to on the court, but the guys who the team can look up to inside the classroom," Urquidi said. "We are trying to build a legacy and put the team on a good path after we are gone."
Both Thompson and Urquidi show extraordinary leadership when it comes to community service.
"I look at the kids that we help and realize how good all of us have it," Thompson said. "It is good to give back. I think most of the teams here do community service, but I get a good feeling out of it and most of the other players do too."
Thompson and Urquidi reflect on their past as freshmen and see that they have learned so much within their college careers. They have not only learned more about tennis, but also about people.
"Now that I am a senior I look back on freshman year and see how much I have matured," Urquidi said. "I see everything so differently now, how people are, how they work, basically how everyone functions. I have learned a lot, not only about myself, but about my teammates as well."
Thompson is one of six Arizona's players that hails from a different country. Being in the United States for four years has been a significant change for him, but he has enjoyed learning about U.S. customs.
"You grow up over the four years," Thompson said. "I know I have grown a lot and have been able to understand different cultures and how different people function."
The change that these seniors have experienced will only help them in their futures.
Thompson and Urquidi will take the court for the last time on April 18. This will be the last time they get to show their leadership on the courts at Arizona. Their hard work and dedication will be looked up to and passed down throughout the program.

Thank you to all of my watchers and friends! And if you're making it over here for the first time: Welcome!
My dA has never really been structured much since I don't have a lot of free time and I never really intended this page to be more than storage and display of my personal arts and practice.
But since I've been improving and I have a new tablet, I've been thinking about taking a stab at selling some of my own things!
Be patient: I still have a few things to set up on both ends. But once everything is cleared up and ready, I'll start working on a few adoptables and possibly some commissions, if everything goes well!
Wish me luck, and I'll be back once everything gets revamped and ready to go!

Ballistas, slingshots and trebuchets filled Moraine Park Technical College's Courtyard at the first annual Distance Challenge, held recently at Moraine Park's Fond du Lac campus. Students from Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School, the Fond du Lac Home School Association, West Bend East and West High Schools and Slinger High School formed teams and built contraptions with the goal of launching a rubber ball the greatest distance. "This is the first year we offered the competition. We wanted a competition that required the students to design, build and troubleshoot," said Tom Roehl, Moraine Park Process Engineering Technology instructor. "I think the students all did a great job, and the employers that attended were very impressed with the creativity shown in the machines. We're hoping to grow this in the future because local employers are very concerned about the skilled labor shortage, and it's young people like this that are the future of Manufacturing." Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School came in first by launching their object 184 feet and 2 inches. Students Ethan Hau and Jordan Kissinger's winning device was a slingshot design. The duo used surgical tubes, two-by-fours and canvas to create "Slingshot 5,000." Slinger High School's Zach Rueckl came in second at 111 feet and 4 inches. Rueckl's "Proto II" contraption used a ballista design. "I wanted to have the most original design at the competition so I went with the ballista, it's a roman siege that was built for breaking walls. I was able to control the angle better with a complex machine," said Rueckl. Rueckl's distance goal was to break 100 feet, which he accomplished. Coming in third at 111 feet was a team from West Bend East and West High Schools consisting of students Nathan Groth, Austin Pelzman, Isaac Theis and Samuel Nagrocki. Their "Second Chance" resistance slingshot got its name because they scrapped their first machine when they weren't happy with the results. The Fond du Lac Home School Association had a team of two sets of brothers: Isaiah and Sam LaVanway and Noah and Josiah Poss. Their "Giraffe" contraption used a counterweight and two hockey sticks to make a trebuchet design. "Giraffe" ended up launching the rubber ball 88 feet and 2 inches. Dawn Poss, mother of Noah and Josiah, thought this was an excellent learning experience for the team. "Through the building process, they learned endurance and patience. They had to see what wasn't working, analyze it and learn from it," Poss said. Rob Bauer works at Waukesha Metal Products in the tool and die area. He enjoyed seeing the competition and the excitement and creativity that sparked with project participants. "We are always looking for skilled workers, and this is a great way to get students thinking about careers early. If they have an interest in this type of field, we can get them to the right career path early on." View more images of the event here.

Optimizing your Mac: Get Adequate Memory
Last updated March 07, 2010 - Send Feedback
Adequate memory helps speed up your Mac in a variety of ways:
- The system can avoid use of virtual memory (swapping to/from disk) . Virtual memory is used when not enough memory is available for programs and is at least 10X slower.
- Extra is used by the system to cache access to the hard drive(s). This creates a major speed boost when re-launching programs, re-opening files, saving files, etc. In particular, it provides a huge speed boost to Photoshop when working with large files.
- Programs that need lots of memory can get what they need, allowing the fastest performance.
How much memory?
If all you're doing is web browsing, email, etc, then 4GB is plenty.
Check actual memory usage using Activity Monitor when your Mac is being used heavily. Add 2-4GB to the total memory being used, and upgrade to that amount.
As soon as you start working with photos, video or anything that demands more space, you should be thinking in the 8-24GB range, depending on what you do.

ACLU of Tennessee's Internship/Volunteer Program
About the Program
ACLU-TN's office is located in Nashville. Internship and volunteer applications are accepted year round. Applicants may respond to a specific internship position listing or they can submit a general application.
ACLU-TN student interns and volunteers are offered a range of valuable learning experiences through our advocacy, public education, and legislative programs. For example, the ACLU-TN advocacy program handles several thousand requests for assistance each year. People contact our office when they believe their rights have been violated. Many of these people feel disenfranchised from the legal system. Our advocacy program screens for potential ACLU-TN lawsuits and provides information, referrals, and strategic advice.
Underlying the philosophy behind ACLU-TN's information and referral service is the belief that Tennesseans, informed of their rights, will be encouraged to exercise them. Through their exercise, rights are given life. If rights are rarely used, they may be forgotten and violations may become routine.
ACLU-TN staff, interns and volunteers strive to empower individuals to exercise and protect their rights. We accomplish this goal by:
In addition, ACLU-TN interns and volunteers assist with the administrative tasks of a non-profit agency. They also can work on special legislative or public education projects based on their interests and/or the needs of ACLU-TN.
Volunteers typically spend four hours a week in our office. Interns may work longer, depending on the requirements of their individual schools or degree programs.
Good Communication Skills
For more information, call ACLU-TN at (615) 320-7142.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Butters Great for masters or beginners I ordered this call online and wasn't sure what to expect because I had never owned a goose flute call before. I had only used short reeds. At my first attempts at blowing the call I could produce no sound that even remotely sounded like a goose. I quickly turned to the back side of the package and started reading. I figured out, (in my reading) that the trick is to puff out your cheeks. This is against everything my dad had taught me as a kid but nevertheless I tried it, and out came the sound of a goose. The call seemed so simple that my sister could do it. It's a great call for your money, you won't regret buying it. January 12, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by Arnie44 Not great-not poor just So-So. Not the best goose call that I have owned. It is going to take some work to master this one but I will stick with it. Very nice wood. December 14, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by LG Big River Walnut Long Honker Goose Flute This was a gift for a friend and he loves it. Great call. January 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Larrynebr Sounds good...Price is right I bought this call after trying out calls that were twice the price of this one. I like flute calls, and this one fits the bill. Easy to call,and make the calls you need to have,to finish the deal, which it has. Going to buy another one for a backup. It's a darn good call for your money. December 24, 2012

I hope you saw this, because it was blink-and-you-miss-it, and because Aziz Ansari is one of the people I wish we heard more from last night. Actually, I know it's sort of the non-awards awards show and all, but wouldn't a 'bit' have broken it up and made it a little less serious? Even a (gasp) video bit? Yes, says Aziz, and that's why when they announce him as a nominee, he's in a shot with a book called "Losing to Jeffrey Tambor With Dignity". Full Story

That might take more than a couple days to get through. Full Story

With multipole expansions, we speak only of monopoles, dipoles, and $2^n$-poles. Why is there nothing like a tripole? So how would something like $rsin(3 \theta)$ be expressed with a multipole expansion? Is the reason for not having terms like this in a multipole expansion that it is redundant, or is there some more fundamental reason?
The function $\sin 3\theta$ on the unit sphere is not an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on the sphere, i.e. the angular part of the Laplacian, i.e. of $L^2$, so it is not convenient a basis vector in problems whose Hamiltonian involves the Laplacian.
The function $\sin 3\theta$ may be written as a combination of spherical harmonics $Y_{lm}$ with many different values of $(l,m)$ so it is a "mixture" of multipoles of different "rank". For the more natural basis of functions on the sphere that may see as basis vectors, see
For example, the spherical harmonics $Y_{3,\pm 3}$ are proportional to $$ Y_{3,\pm 3} \sim \exp(\pm 3i\phi) \sin^3 \theta $$ which is very similar to $\sin 3\theta$ but has the extra $\phi$-dependence. Similarly, one may look at the function $Y_{30}$ which is similar to $\sin 3\theta$ but prefers cosines and so on. Either $\sin^3 \theta$ or $\cos^3\theta$ (check it!) without any $\phi$-dependence is a combination of $Y_{30}$ and $Y_{10}$.
Once one realizes why the spherical harmonics are the preferred, more natural basis, we may carefully discuss the spherical harmonics' association with the multipole expansion. For example, we learn that $Y_{3,m}$ for any $m$, including the functions similar to yours above, are associated with octupoles, not "tripoles"!
More generally, $Y_{\ell m}$ is the angular part of the $2^\ell$-pole.
The powers of two are a natural way to describe the terms in the multipole expansions for reasons explained elsewhere, e.g. here:
In the multipole terminology, a "tripole" would correspond to a triplet (e.g. vertices of a triangle) of charges. If their total charge would be nonzero, there would be a leading "monopole" term. If the total charge cancelled, the system of 3 charges would still have a dipole moment. Unless the three (nonzero) charges would lie on the same line, the dipole moment couldn't be canceled.

Exciting News! New Location!
Posted on March 27th, 2009 - No Comments
You probably already know that Good Food Catering Company is busy providing unique food and great experiences for weddings, corporate events and socials in the Tampa Bay region. And with 100% certainty, I know that you've tasted our food at a location near you, like a wedding venue, private residence, community clubhouse or even an airport hangar (that story coming soon). But now you'll be able to stop in soon to taste our food in our new home.
Last month, Good Food Catering Company moved into a new kitchen space in South Tampa, located at 2013 W. Platt St., near the SOHO district. With this move comes a plethora of new possibilities and opportunities to meet us, including a monthly open house and tasting, beginning in April.
The date for our first tasting has not been set yet, but stay tuned for more details. Although the space is small, it is the perfect opportunity to see what goes on "behind the scenes" in our kitchen and new catering ideas we can utilize that will make your event unique and memorable.
Good Food Catering Company was established to provide superior culinary experiences for events, weddings and celebrations in the Tampa Bay Region.

NEW YORK -- Two executives who oversaw WorldCom's financial record-keeping pleaded guilty Thursday to charges stemming from a federal probe of the company's multibillion-dollar accounting scandal.
Betty Vinson, the former director of management reporting, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and securities fraud. Later in the day, Troy Normand, the director of legal entity accounting, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and securities fraud for his part in the same scheme.
Normand, 35, and Vinson, 47, were top executives in WorldCom's general accounting department.
During her plea, Vinson said she was ordered by her bosses in October 2000 to misstate $800 million on WorldCom's ledgers.
"I was very concerned about the order to make the adjustment," Vinson told Judge Andrew J. Peck.
Over the next year and a half, she carried out similar orders to transfer huge sums in expenses in a scheme to hide WorldCom's financial woes from the investing public, she said.
Outside court, her lawyer Joseph Hollomon said Vinson had protested the changes but was overruled by her supervisors.
Hollomon said his client rarely had contact with former CEO Bernard Ebbers, but he wouldn't say if she could provide evidence against him. Ebbers has not been charged with any crime, and he has denied wrongdoing.
Vinson faces up to 10 years in prison on the most serious charge, securities fraud, but may get substantially less for providing testimony in the case.
Vinson's admissions come three days after her immediate boss, Buford Yates, admitted guilt to his role in the scheme as part of a deal to cooperate with prosecutors. Yates' direct supervisor, ex-Controller David Myers, has also pleaded guilty.
In their pleas, Myers and Yates said the orders to falsify WorldCom's ledgers came from the top levels of corporate management.
Myers, Yates, Vinson and Normand are expected to provide evidence against Scott Sullivan, the former chief financial officer, who has been indicted but has maintained his innocence in the case.
Prosecutors are also collecting evidence to determine what Ebbers knew about the large-scale fraud.
An indictment filed by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office estimates the scheme helped hide roughly $3.8 billion in expenses and overstate earnings by $5 billion.
WorldCom officials have said the total amount of financial misstatements is around $7 billion, and some reports have put the figure at $9 billion.
Prosecutors say Vinson and Normand carried out orders from Sullivan and Myers to disguise the $3.8 billion in operating expenses as capital expenses.

Sign of Calm? Caravans Won't go to Beit El
Caravans that were to be brought to Beit El will be transferred to the Lachish region, Government Secretary Tzvika Hauser said Friday morning, speaking to MKs Zevulun Orlev and Zeev Elkin. The transfer of the caravans had led to fear that the government was preparing to demolish homes in the Binyamin-area town despite promises to find a way to save the homes.
Hauser's announcement followed overnight meetings aimed at stopping preparations for demolition. The coalition had agreed not to carry out any preparations until after voting on the Regulation Law, a bill that would legalize the threatened Beit El homes and prevent eviction.
After speaking to Hauser, Orlev updated protesters in Jerusalem of the change.
The caravans had originally been intended for dozens of families expelled from Gush Katif in the 2005 Disengagement. The families are still waiting for the government to finish infrastructure that would allow them to build permanent homes.
In the meantime, the caravans they were given nearly seven years ago – which were built to last for a single year – have been falling apart.

Between them, Chris Hodgson and Jae Stulock own three of the city's most popular food trucks (Hodgson with Dim and Den Sum and Hodge Podge, Stulock with Umami Moto). Both mobile-eats mavens talked to us about hitting the brakes to open new restaurants.
668 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, hodgescleveland.com
5000 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, 216-254-5202
"The food truck is probably the hardest work I've ever done," says Hodgson. "In restaurants everything comes right to you, ... and it's easy if you do it right."
"Everything is bigger; everything happens on a grander scale," says owner Jae Stulock. Best lesson learned? "We are capable. It's been really quite rewarding to see it come together."
Hodgson decribes Hodge's as lively, energetic and friendly. In an ode to his truck, it will feature a Dim and Den Sum bar area with a chef serving small bites.
Contemporary and, of course, hip. Patrons will order at a window, get drinks at the bar and have their food run out to them. "It's a fresh new look at the service industry," Stulock says.
Expect affordable food fusion with food truck favorites, such as the PBLT, remaining on the menu alongside new imaginative dishes such as French onion soup ravioli. Hodge's will open in late March or early April.
Similar to Umami Moto, the fare combines global cuisines with American dishes. Save for the popular short rib sliders, the menu features new items such as a Moroccan lamb sausage sandwich and flatbread pizzas, as well as nonalcoholic mixed drinks.
