According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Desktop Computer A federal study released last year suggests that many Northwest Native Americans living as Harris does could be at significant risk from environmental pollutants, particularly toxic chemicals in the fish they eat.
Notebooks The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians is gathering on the Umatilla Reservation this week and is expected to call for federal action to identify the main sources of environmental contamination in the Columbia River, and to develop a cleanup plan, said Charles Hudson, a spokesman for the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission in Portland.
Lenovo The commission is an umbrella organization of four treaty fishing tribes: the Nez Perce, Yakama, Umatilla and Warm Springs. In all, 54 tribes are expected to be represented at the Umatilla Reservation, Hudson said.
Hard Drive Indigenous people have become the highest-risk people in the world because of their vulnerability to environmental pollutants, said Brian Barry, an environmental consultant on contract with the Yakama Nation in Washington state.
Travelstar "What really ratchets up their risk is their dependence on natural foods and medicines," he said. "It's ironic; they used to be protected and healthy because of that."
Gateway About 2,000 to 3,000 Yakama tribal members follow a "subsistence lifestyle," said Robert Alvarez, 56, a senior scholar with the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. Alvarez was a senior policy adviser to the secretary of energy during the Clinton administration from 1993 to 1999.
Laptop Parts A 1996-2002 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that tested for 132 chemicals, metals and other contaminants found 92 pollutants in Columbia River fish, said Patricia Cirone, an EPA environmental scientist and a leader of the study. The contaminants ranged from pesticides and herbicides to mining-related inorganic substances such as mercury and arsenic, polychlorinated biphenyls, chlorinated dioxins, furans and unstable semivolatiles.
Software The EPA's Columbia River Basin Fish Contaminant Survey and a 1990-94 study commissioned by the Inter-Tribal Fish Commission suggest that Native Americans are at greater risk from contaminated fish than the general population because Native Americans often eat significantly more fish, Cirone said.
Hard Drives The average tribal member in the Northwest consumes 8.3 times more fish than an average non-Native American, the study found. Some eat 48 fish meals a month, Cirone said, compared with one such meal a month for the general public.
Electronics Salmon, however, do not pose the greatest risk. The EPA study projected a possible 1-in-50 cancer risk for Native Americans who eat large amounts of mountain white fish from the Hanford Reach area of the Columbia River in Washington between Priest Rapids Dam and the McNary Pool, and a 1-in-100 risk for those consuming large amounts of sturgeon from the same stretch of river, said Dana Davoli, a risk assessment analyst for the agency.
Canon Davoli said that level of risk is based on the consumption of 389 grams of those species a day -- or roughly 48 meals a month -- for 70 years.
Desktop Pc Elsewhere, cancer risks associated with eating that amount of mountain white fish ranges from 7 cases of cancer per 10,000 people on the Umatilla River of Eastern Oregon to 7 in 1,000 on Washington State's Yakima River, to 2 in 1,000 on Oregon's Deschutes River, she said.
Desktop Computers Davoli said tribal members tend to eat a lot of salmon -- which the research shows is healthier to consume -- and not as much white fish and sturgeon.
Think Pad In addition, the risk to tribal children is 100 times that of nontribal children to develop central nervous system disorders and immune diseases if they regularly consume fish from the Hanford Reach, the report said.
Repair Alvarez thinks the dietary risk levels faced by some Native Americans in the Northwest are far too high. "If you were to find a 1-in-50 risk of people contracting cancer from a river running through an affluent area of the United States, they would be convening a grand jury, and people would be up in arms," Alvarez said. "But we are in the high sagebrush desert, and the people we are talking about are not wealthy people living in gated communities. We are talking tribal people."
Data Recovery Risks may be more severe Chris Walsh, an environmental public health nurse with the Indian Health Service of the Yakama Nation, said health risks to Native Americans may be greater than the 1990-94 tribal study suggests.
Cisco The study was done when Columbia River fish runs were fewer than today, and fish consumption by Native Americans almost certainly has increased since then, she said. Walsh said that since she arrived at the Yakama Nation in 1997, there have been discussions about "why there is so much cancer here."
Keyboard Research is under way to determine the types and rates of cancer among Yakama tribal members, she said. Nationally, the Indian Health Service monitors cancer but lumps incidences together, she said, making it impossible to determine what is happening with individual tribes.
Monitor The EPA study found the greatest contaminant loads within the Hanford Reach, the last undammed stretch of the river in the United States above Bonneville Dam. Elevated levels of chemical pollutants also were found in fish that live exclusively in the freshwater river systems. Less affected were salmon, which spend part of their life in the ocean.
Desktop "In a way, I kind of look at this EPA study as a miner's canary," Alvarez said. "We don't know enough about the nature of the problem to know how to solve the problem. That is really the issue here."
Infosys Levels near U.S. average Columbia River contaminant levels are within the average range of highs and lows of such substances around the nation, Cirone said. And no health organization or federal or state agency has warned tribal members against eating Columbia River fish, she said. Still, everyone needs to understand that fish absorb some chemicals, she said, and people should reduce their exposure.
Refurbished Laptops Native Americans also might find themselves at risk by tanning hides in the traditional manner, which involves grinding the brains of deer and elk and working them with bare hands into the leather for the tanning agents they contain, Harris said. He worries that deer or elk might come into contact with animals infected with chronic wasting disease or mad cow disease.
Wipro Anna Cavinato, associate professor of chemistry at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande, said touching the brains of an infected animal might not be enough to transmit wasting disease or mad cow disease to a human. It probably would have to be ingested, she said.
Lap Top The modern age has been hard on native peoples across the globe, said Dr. Rudolph Ryser, 56, of the Center for World Indigenous Studies in Olympia.
