Results of Operations

   1.                                                   We understand from your
response to prior comment one that you are proposing to revise
                                                        the "Economic Gross
Margin" label that you have been using to    Adjusted Gross Margin
                                                        and to change your
reconciliation for this non-GAAP measure to utilize total operating
                                                        revenues as the most
directly comparable GAAP measure.

                                                        However, we continue to
believe that you should present gross margin in accordance with
                                                        GAAP, as defined in the
FASB Master Glossary, as the most directly comparable GAAP
                                                        measure for use in the
reconciliation that is required by Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

         Unless you are able to show how a measure that is unburdened by any
expense would be
         more comparable than Gross Margin to your measure of Adjusted Gross
Margin, please
         further revise your non-GAAP disclosures as requested in prior comment
one.
        You may contact Mark Wojciechowski, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551-3759
or Lily
Dang, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551-3867 if you have questions regarding
comments on the
financial statements and related matters.
