Is that groomer girl still here?" Mrs. Penny Kerner asked her daughter in a loud voice, adjusting the collar of her suede jacket, while looking at herself in a large hallway mirror.
Her daughter, Cathleen, having a more gentle nature and softer tone replied in a whisper, "Mother, lower your voice. She's right around the corner and may hear you." Cathleen glanced anxiously toward a door that was partially ajar.
"I don't care."
Cathleen raised her tone a bit. "Besides, she's not a groomer, she's a pet stylist."
"She's a dog groomer. A fancy name doesn't change what she does."
"I'm sure they'll be done soon."
"I hope so," her mother stated harshly.
Yvette Coulier continued to brush the luxuriously silky brown fur of Binky, a three-year-old Pomeranian, as she sat snugly in the folds of an oversize, blue crushed-velvet cushion. She had been very cooperative and had managed to maintain the same position throughout the photo shoot. Although the photographer, Lewis Wolfson, had finished taking pictures, Yvette wanted to make sure that Binky continued to look her best. Not that Binky didn't already match the elegance of the Kerner's mansion with its vaulted ceilings, Mediterranean marble floors and a life-size oil painting of Mrs. Kerner and Cathleen that dominated the main foyer. Yvette wanted to spend just a little more time. She could hear the soothing sound of the waterfall sculpture coming from the open patio door. It was an unseasonably warm spring for Michigan and Mrs. Kerner had insisted that she wanted "natural" air flowing through the house.
Mrs. Kerner was right. She was just a dog groomer. Perhaps one of the best in the city, but a groomer all the same. However,Yvette wasn't ashamed of her job and took great pride in what she did. She'd started volunteering at animal shelters while in high school and had had a brief stint as a vet tech, before becoming a grooming assistant at a local salon. Four years later she partnered with her friend Madlyn to open Le Chic Hounds, and very soon her reputation grew. In just a few years, Yvette had groomed the dogs of both major and minor celebrities, socialites and very rich bachelors. And although she got invited to some outrageously expensive homes, she always felt out of place. Her job allowed her to mingle with a class of people with whom she knew she'd never belong, but secretly desired to.
"I just had a thought," Lewis said as he put his camera equipment away. He was a large, handsome man of thirty with dark brown bedroom eyes and a boyish smile.
Yvette began to pack her supplies as well. "What?"
"Our lives suck."
She sent him a censoring glance. "Speak for yourself."
"Look at us." He gestured to them, then the room. "The only reason we're in this fabulous mansion is for a three-year-old dog!"
"Pomeranian," she corrected.
"The breed doesn't matter."
"The breed always matters."
"Well, whatever breed he happens to be, you're grooming him and I'm taking his picture. Doesn't that seem odd to you?"
"She's keeping us fed." Yvette shrugged. "Besides, other people aren't this lucky."
Lewis stared at her, incredulous. "You call this lucky?"
"At least we're not sweeping floors."
Lewis took several steps forward, motioning to Binky, who by now was ready to take a nap. "This dog is wearing a collar that's half my salary. Do you notice how she doesn't even move?"
"She's well trained."
"I bet she gets picked up so much she doesn't even know how to walk." He closed a large case.
"I'm sure she walks just fine, but I did notice that her paws are a little tender."
Lewis frowned at the dog. "From what I see she's not suffering and she certainly has a better life than I do."
Yvette shook her head. "You're getting depressed again."
"I'm already depressed."
Yvette sent Lewis a questioning look. "You and Tansin split up again?"
He shoved his hands in his jeans pockets. "It's over this time."
"Uh-huh," Yvette said, unconvinced.
"For good."
"You've broken up seven times in as many months. I'll wait before I say I'm sorry for you."
"I'm telling you the absolute truth." He winked at her. "Now I'm a free man."
Yvette shook her head. "It would never work. You're not my type."
"Nobody's your type. I've never seen you express interest in a man, or even a woman."
"I'm not into women." She zipped up her bag.
Lewis raised his hands in surrender. "I had wondered."
"Well, now you can stop wondering."
He folded his arms. "So you like men?"
"Then how come after knowing you for most of your life I don't know what type of man would catch your interest?" He snapped his fingers. "Wait. I know the perfect man for you."
"Someone really old and very rich. You'd make the perfect kept woman."
Yvette thought it best not to reply. Lewis wasn't the only man to think so. Men liked Yvette—young men, old men, plain men, handsome men, single men and unfortunately, married men. Especially married men. Men who thought she'd be the perfect mistress. She had had two short-lived semi-serious relationships in her early twenties but that was all. She didn't need a man anyway. At twenty-eight she felt her life was on track and she was perfectly happy on her own.
Yvette owned a fashionable dog-grooming business. But although she was doing well, she had a long way to go to earn the kind of income that would elevate her to the status she dreamed of.
"I was supposed to be the next Gordon Parks," Lewis said with a weary sigh. "Or Ansel Adams. But look at me."
Yvette looked at him and wanted to laugh. Lewis could never look like a tragic figure. He was too well dressed. He always wore name-brand clothes and had a new watch every three months. Yvette never asked him how he was able to afford his purchases, although she was curious.
"You're still young enough to make your mark," she said, refusing to offer any sympathy. "Everybody has to pay their bills. People understand that."
"Tansin didn't."
"Don't blame Tansin for your lack of success. Besides, she probably isn't right for you."
He raised a sly brow. "You might be right for me."
"We already addressed that topic."
"I was hoping you'd changed your mind."
"I haven't."
He sat on the couch, brushing away a large leaf from a palm tree next to him.
Yvette sent a nervous glance toward the doorway. "Get up. You're not supposed to look as though you're relaxing."
"I'm sitting down. Besides, this chair is far from relaxing. It's probably softer on the floor."
"Then sit on the floor."
"You care too much about what they think."
"Yes, because my reputation is everything."
"I'll get up when I hear them coming. You should sit down, too. You've been fussing over that dog for hours."
Yvette was used to being on her feet, but knew this grueling job would have her soaking in a bath tonight.
Lewis wagged a finger at her. "One day someone is going to make you change your mind about your ideal man."
"I don't have an ideal."
"Everybody has an ideal. You just don't know yours. You know what your problem is?"
"The fact that you won't stop talking?"
He shook his head. "No. You just don't like people. You only associate with animals. And yet you don't even have a pet."
"I don't have the time."
"You never make time for relationships in your life."
Yvette rested her hands on her hips and looked at him, annoyed. "Why are we talking about me? I thought you were the one who's miserable."
"I am. I'm just trying to convince you that you are, too."
She made a face.
The sound of footsteps coming in their direction made Lewis jump up. Yvette adjusted Binky's diamond-encrusted collar.
Penny entered the room with Cathleen trailing behind her. Penny had a fat neck, which she couldn't help, but she made the unfortunate decision of emphasizing it with large, expensive jewelry, either because she was ignorant of her flaw or vain. Cathleen, who couldn't be older than twenty-three, nearly disappeared behind her mother in a green silk dress that was obviously expensive but two sizes too big. From what she'd observed, Yvette had an uneasy feeling that Penny spent most of her money and attention on Binky, instead of her daughter.
"Are we all finished now?" Penny said in a voice that implied that they were.
Lewis swung his camera bag over his shoulder. "Yes."
She picked Binky up. "Don't we look beautiful?"
"She was very good," Yvette said.
"She really looks nice," Cathleen said, reaching out to stroke Binky. Penny slapped her hand away. Cathleen withdrew her hand, looking embarrassed, and stared at the floor.
Yvette glanced at Lewis who only shrugged. She glanced at Binky's paws then cleared her throat. "May I make a suggestion?"
"No," Penny responded, as she continued fussing over the dog.
"Yes," a deep voice said from the doorway. Yvette and Lewis turned their attention to a tall, dark figure. Most contemporary men weren't built like him. They'd been sensitized, refined. He was a throwback to a different era, even in his black suit. His movements were too coarse to be called cultured and his body to large to be called elegant. Yet he was both. And then there was his face. Handsome seemed too simple a word to describe him for his features were both sharp and tender, fine but not delicate and there was an inherent strength about him. It was without the haughty veneer of most attractive men. Yvette had never gasped at the sight of a man before. She was too practical for that, but for some reason this man made breathing seem difficult. Especially when he stepped from the doorway and approached them. His compelling brown eyes briefly met hers across the room, sending unwanted shivers of awareness through her.
Penny turned to him. "But she's just a—"
The man sent her a cutting glance and she stopped, for a moment looking just as chastised as her daughter had been earlier. He turned his piercing gaze to Yvette. "Please continue, Miss " He made an impatient gesture with his hand demanding that she fill in the blank.
"Coulier," Yvette dutifully answered.
He nodded. "My aunt can always benefit from good advice."
Penny didn't look as though any advice would be welcome. Her lips practically disappeared into her mouth, and her skin, previously a nice warm beige, was an unhealthy shade of red. However, Yvette maintained her composure. She kept her voice firm. "I just wanted to suggest that you change your floor polish."
Penny sent her a cold glare, the red in her cheeks becoming more prominent. "I don't clean floors.

This book was kinda boring for me and it didn't have that passion that I was looking for in a romance novel. If I have read this book first in the series I wouldn't have read it at all. I do like the whole concept of the "Black Stocking Society."

In Michigan pet stylist, some would say just another dog groomer, Yvette Coulier has always been good with animals. When it comes to people especially men she is a failure. She is a bit surprised when she receives a mysterious invitation from the Black Stockings Society as she assumes they are way above her social and financial circles.--------------- Wealthy Nate Blackwell is tired of responsibility for others. He needs a time out from stress. When he meets Yvette in her black stockings at her grooming salon, he offers her a deal. She hires him and he will gain her entrance into high society and pay her tab. She agrees thinking life amidst the elite will be a vacation he likewise believes life amidst the working class will be a vacation. As they fall in love, each knows that the return of reality will prove a cruel ending unless both of them reach out to the real other.---------------- The second Black Stockings Society tale (see POWER PLAY) is a terific heated contemporary romance. The lead duet are fully developed with each struggling with stress while the support cast enables the audience to better understand what make Yvette and Nate tick. Readers will enjoy the revelations both attain to include love as she learns the rich and famous have their woes while he learns the working class has their woes too. Dara Girard provides a poignant character study that insists grass is green on both sides of the fence (except my lawn).----------------- Harriet KlausnerWas this review helpful?

Microsoft probes possible IE 7 phishing hole

Microsoft probes IE 7, Vista bug reportsFebruary 26, 2007
IE 7 reaches 100 million usersJanuary 16, 2007
An attacker can use an error message displayed by the latest Microsoft browser to send Web surfers to malicious Web sites that will display with the address of a trusted site, such as a bank, Aviv Raff, a developer in Israel, wrote on his Web site. Raff included an example where the error message directs the Web surfer to a site of his choice.
Microsoft is looking into the issue, a representative said. "Microsoft is not aware of any attacks attempting to use the reported vulnerability," the representative said in an e-mailed statement. "Microsoft will continue to investigate... to help provide additional guidance for customers as necessary."
The vulnerability relates to the message IE displays when Web page loading is aborted, Raff wrote. An attacker can rig the message by creating a malicious link. The message will offer a link to retry loading the page; hitting it brings up the attacker's page, but showing an arbitrary Web address, he wrote.
To launch a phishing attack, an attacker can create a Web link that purports to go to a trusted site, such as a bank. When clicked, the link results in a rigged error page. Following the reload link on that page will display the attacker's Web site with the address of the trusted site in the IE 7 address bar, Raff wrote.
Phishing attacks are a prevalent Internet threat that typically use fraudulent Web sites and spam e-mail to trick people into giving up personal information such as Social Security numbers and credit card details.
IE 7 on Windows Vista and Windows XP are affected, Raff wrote.

- Does MSFT Get a Cut of the Take on the Phishing Scams?
- The company's entire operating system seems to be one enormous crime machine.
Hey, no software company could be this incompetent decade after decade with a specific purpose, could it?
There must be a profit angle for MSFT. Everyone, including most of the governments of the western world agree on one thing, that MSFT is a criminal enterprise organized to restrain trade. Ballmer is always screaming about 'killing Google', 'killing x', 'killing y', 'killing z', throwing chairs and appearing at events acting like John Gotti without manners.

- So, Apple, Sun and even the Linux community should be taking a cut as well? Because their products get about the same number of vulnerabilities and holes (way more in the case of Apple) than Microsoft's.
And yes, they are not nearly as exploited as Microsoft products are. But that's besides the point. You say that Microsoft cannot possibly be this incompetent. But the others apparently are?

- Phishing?
- Actually, for a scammer to make use of this scam, he or she has to first lure the user to get to a real, undisguised URL. Then, from that the user can be redirected to a disguised URL.
While this is certainly a flaw, it doesn't seem to be a big risk at all.
BTW, I've been using VIsta for a few months, and I simply cannot go back. It works flawlessy, it is way more reliable than XP ever was and I haven't had a single security issue so far. If those are not compelling reasons, I don't know what they are.
And yes, getting drivers for Vista used to be a pain, but at this point every driver for every device on my computer is available, so that seems not to be a big issue anymore.

Can means that it CAN be done.
But the title says:

If it's not possible, then it can't be done. Sorta makes reading a bit confusing.
So is it possible, but Microsoft has yet to confirm that it's possible or what?
Or is it not possible and people only suspect that it can be done?
Get your facts and report them clearly and concisely!!!

2007 BEST Bistro, South
Bia Bistro
That contented sigh that comes with shucking off the 9-to-5 suit in favor of jeans and a tee? It's the same one you might hear any night at this four-year-old bistro, as diners relax into its placid charms. Dusky red walls and buttery candlelight set the scene for chef Brian Houlihan's contemporary versions of European comfort-food classics, like duck confit with poached figs, steak au poivre, and tarte Tatin. Figure in a modest but irreproachable wine list, and a night at Bia goes down easy in every sense.

Air Canada's new leisure airline Rouge is recruiting flight attendants to support its expansion to Calgary and Vancouver.
The crew will support new Rouge flights leaving from Western Canada in coming months, which Air Canada declined to reveal. More details on fares and city pairings will be announced in coming weeks, it says.
About 220 flight attendants fly for Rouge today, and the airline will train an additional 110 this month in Toronto and Montreal. The Montreal-based airline plans to employ 660 cabin crewmembers by the end of 2014.
Rouge started flights in July with two Airbus A319s and two Boeing 767-300ER aircraft transferred from the Air Canada mainline fleet. It has since added six more A319s for a total of 10 aircraft. By April, six more A319s will be added to the fleet for a total of 16 aircraft, says the airline. The fleet could grow to as many as 42 aircraft by the end of 2015 with up to four 737-300ERs, regulatory filings show.
Rouge flies from Canada to leisure destinations in the USA, Mexico and the Caribbean as well as the European cities of Edinburgh, Venice, Lisbon, Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Manchester Dublin and Nice.

Kim Dotcom debates New Zealand leader over spying
Friday - 7/5/2013, 8:12am EDT
Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- In America, Kim Dotcom is a racketeering suspect. In New Zealand on Wednesday, he was the prime minister's debate partner.
The flamboyant Internet entrepreneur, who has gained celebrity status here while fighting extradition, took a helicopter from his estate to the capital, tweeting photos along the way, to speak against a bill that would expand the powers of New Zealand's foreign spy agency.
In a Parliament committee room, he used his allotted 15 minutes to rail against U.S. and New Zealand snooping, then traded jabs with Prime Minister John Key.
Dotcom is founder of the once-popular file-sharing site Megaupload, which was shut down last year by U.S. authorities who accuse him of facilitating online piracy. His testimony at the committee hearing was a highly anticipated piece of political theater, and his every word was followed on live video streams and Twitter.
Dotcom spoke against a bill that would allow the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) to spy on New Zealanders under certain circumstances, something not expressly permitted under current law. One such instance would be on behalf of another domestic agency.
Dotcom had a stake in the debate because the GCSB concluded in a review of its actions that it unlawfully spied on him before his arrest in the South Pacific nation last year. Key publicly apologized to Dotcom after that ruling, but Dotcom later questioned his sincerity given the government's interest in expanding the agency's powers.
When he confirmed earlier this week that Key was chairing Wednesday's hearing, Dotcom tweeted, "It's ON."
At the end of Dotcom's prepared remarks, Key challenged him. The prime minister had Dotcom agree that people once used Megaupload to outsource their file storage. Wasn't it the same thing, the prime minister asked, for the spy agency to accept work that other agencies outsource to it?
"On Megaupload you would share a file," Dotcom replied. "On the GCSB spy cloud you share private information about citizens that you don't have any right to access. That is the big difference."
Opposition Labour leader David Shearer then asked Dotcom whether Key knew the GCSB had spied on the entrepreneur before he was arrested in a dramatic raid, a point that has been politically contested for months.
"Oh, he knew about me before the raid. I know about that," Dotcom replied.
Key said that wasn't true.
"Why are you turning red, Prime Minister?" Dotcom asked.
"I'm not. Why are you sweating?" responded Key.
"Ah, it's hot," Dotcom replied.
The exchange drew laughter from the crowd watching and brought the debate to a close.
"See you later," Key said. "It's been fun."
Dotcom was joined at the hearing by his colleague Bram van der Kolk, who remained silent at his side throughout.
Proponents say the bill helps clarify a legal gray area; opponents say it amounts to an unwarranted intrusion into domestic affairs.
The agency's spying on Dotcom was found to be illegal because Dotcom, a German citizen by birth, was a legal resident of New Zealand at the time. Although embarrassing for the agency, the misstep to date hasn't significantly impacted the underlying case.
U.S. prosecutors are trying to extradite Dotcom, van der Kolk and two other Megaupload executives from New Zealand, claiming they facilitated massive copyright piracy through the site. Dotcom and his colleagues deny the charges, saying they can't be held responsible for users who chose to illegally download music or movies.

|Nonparametric and semiparametric methods for interval-censored failure time data
|Zhu, Chao, 1979-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Interval-censored failure time data commonly arise in follow-up studies such as clinical trials and epidemiology studies. By interval-censored data, we mean that the failure time of interest is not completely observed. Instead, we only know that it belongs to a certain interval. For the analysis of interval-censored data, what interests researcher most include comparisons of survival functions for different treatment groups and regression analysis. In this dissertation, we consider these research questions on two types of interval-censored data by using nonparametric and semi-parametric approaches. Three new procedures, which include a goodness-of-fit test for the proportional odds mode with interval-censored data, a nonparametric test for comparing two survival functions with interval-censored data in the presence of unequal censoring, and a semi-parametric regression model for two-sample current status data, are established. Also, their performance is evaluated by simulation studies, which suggest that all approaches work well for practical situations.

|Arrangers: Mike Townend; Paul Bateman .
|Looking at the cover of Silva Treasury's four-CD box set Musicals: The Gold Collection, the prospective buyer could be forgiven for assuming that the collection draws upon vintage recordings from original London cast albums. After all, the word "gold" is in the title, and the artist credit is to "stars of the London stage." But those who are familiar with Silva's other recordings, which tend to be newly made versions of classic film soundtracks, will not be surprised to discover that many of the label's usual performers, particularly the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus, are on board, and that these are also new recordings. And the "stars of the London stage?" Well, they are Meredith Braun, Keith Burns, Sharon Campbell, Mary Carewe, Gerard Casey, Chris Corcoran, Keith Ferreira, Lesley Garrett, Helen Hobson, Michele Hooper, Christopher Howard, Jason Howard, Ria Jones, John Langley, David Shannon, Deborah Steel, Jill Washington, Dave Willetts, and Tania Williams. Don't feel bad if you've never heard of any of these "stars." In addition to the name performers who originate starring roles and open shows on Broadway and in the West End, there is a small army of talented artists who stand in for those real stars when they are sick or replace them in long-running shows, and those are the kind of singers heard on this album. For example, Dave Willetts, who sings five songs, including two from Phantom of the Opera, has, according to the liner notes, played the part of the Phantom in London and on tour for more than five years, and Jill Washington, who duets with Jason Howard on "Stranger in Paradise" from Kismet and "Make Believe" from Show Boat, has played the leading part of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera "more than any other actress in the world." As Britons, these performers, not surprisingly, got their real grounding in the Andrew Lloyd Webber-composed British musicals of the 1970s and '80s, as well as in Les Mis?rables, and they are at their best when performing songs from those shows, as they do on 19 tracks out of 56. They are less impressive on the older American material, including 11 songs composed by Richard Rodgers. And the two schools of musical do not sit well together, as they are more or less randomly interspersed on the four discs. The result is a long album of miscellaneous show music dating from the 1920s to the 1980s, recorded in the 21st century by professional, largely unknown performers. It will be of interest as a curiosity to theater music fans, but it does not deserve to be called a "gold collection" performed by "stars." ~ William Ruhlmann

Meetings organised in 14 zones of Civil Supplies Department
Chennai: Ever since the Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Department launched the grievance redress meeting series four months ago, officials have been flooded with a deluge of applications for ration cards from residents. This was evident once again when the meetings were held across the city and its suburbs on Saturday.
A Civil Supplies official said that some of the new card applications were submitted by joint families that lived in one house but wanted another card for the son or daughter's family, mainly to get extra LPG connections.
Now that the State government has said that ration cards are not required for applying for new LPG connections or refills, the demand for new cards may come down a bit, he said.
Grievance meetings were organised in 14 zones of the Civil Supplies Department and demand for new cards dominated the petitions. The seven zones under the Deputy Commissioner of Civil Supplies (North) received 994 petitions, including 765 applications for new cards. The seven zones in the south received 1,699 petitions, including 1,107 applications for new cards. Most of the other petitions were related to address change or corrections in the ration cards.
In the Mylapore zone of the Civil Supplies Department, several fishermen families came to submit applications, as the meeting was held in Mullikuppam in Srinivasapuram. Minor corrections were dealt with on the spot.
About 480 applications across north and south zones were dealt with on the spot.
In Tambaram zone, the meeting was held at Government Higher Secondary School in Anakaputhur. Tambaram MLA S.R. Raja inaugurated the meeting.
A group of residents from West Tambaram showed officials the rice they had purchased from a fair price shop. The rice had a fairly large content of small stones and dust particles.
Officials assured the residents that steps would be taken to ensure that quality rice is supplied to the family card holders.
In Pallavaram, Labour Welfare Minister and Alandur MLA T.M.Anbarasan inaugurated the meeting at Maraimalai Adigal Higher Secondary School. Ever since the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam came to power, 8,000 new ration cards were issued in Alandur constituency alone. Municipal Chairman E.Karunanidhi said corrections sought by the residents in the ration cards were made immediately.
There were a section of residents, who complained that though they had applied for new cards in the earlier meetings, they were yet to receive them.
Officials said that though they received several application forms, they issued new cards only to eligible residents.
The application forms were processed, details verified and incomplete and ineligible forms rejected, they said, adding that the process of despatching new cards was on.

Have been using cartridges from 123inkjes for many years - never had a problem with any of them.
- Gingy, 5/11/2015
When ordering ink cartridges, it would be great if a question was asked "do you need this to go along with what you are ordering?" i.e. when ordering a blue ink cartridge, do you need pink, yellow, etc. or did you know you could buy this in a pack? and would you like a reminder every ____ months to order more?
- Hohuhahu, 5/11/2015
Love the online store, been buying from you for years!
- Faithartist, 5/11/2015
This is a fast and easy way to shop for cartridges. the nice thing is that the system remembers my cartridge numbers (i did verify). this takes out the need to go hunting for a part number and saves me some valuable time.

2012′s 10 Most Popular Movies According to Google
Forget the Oscars and the Golden Globes -- if you really want to know the movies that everyone loved this year, look no further than most popular Google searches.
Forget the Oscars and the Golden Globes -- if you really want to know the movies that everyone loved this year, look no further than most popular Google searches.
Here's a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Taylor Swift
Age: 23
Occupation: Singer, Songwriter and Musician
Known For: Selling eleventymillion albums and singles, winning a boatload of Grammys and CMA awards, being all-around cultural phenomenon, and her endless string of celebrity boyfriends
There's no use beating around the bush here -- this was a pretty dull weekend at the box office. There was only one new release, but it was a dump that bombed rather spectacularly and the rest of the line-up is essentially the same as last week, with only a few titles shuffling around. It's the the quiet before the storm...the storm being 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' which opens in a few days.
Many Americans found themselves with four days off last week, ostensibly so they could go see their family and eat turkey and celebrate Thanksgiving from the comfort of their homes. Instead, they went to the movies. In fact, this was the biggest Thanksgiving box office of all time. Congratulations, America!
Good job, Golden Globes! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are set to host this year's Golden Globes ceremony, which is scheduled for January 13, 2013. The duo have previously anchored 'Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update desk together, and co-starred in the 2008 film 'Baby Mama.'
Here's a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Hugh Jackman
Age: 44
Occupation: Actor, Dancer and Singer
Known For: Playing Wolverine in the 'X-Men' franchise; appearing in 'Kate & Leopold,' 'Van Helsing,' and 'The Prestige'; winning a Tony Award for his role in 'The Boy from Oz'; and previous hosting stints for the Tonys and the Oscars
It's not often you see country star Keith Urban and his wife Nicole Kidman, apart from one another. Of course, there are times -- like when Urban is on stage or Kidman is in front of a camera -- that they can't stand side by side. But that won't stop the actress from being in the wings when her hubby judges the upcoming season of 'American Idol.' She confirmed in a recent interview that she plans to watch the show from backstage.
'Hatfields & McCoys,' The History Channel's three-part, six-hour mini-series dramatizing one of the most famous blood feuds in American history, may not have taken home the 2012 Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie, but it can boast having the best lead actor in that category.
Kevin Costner, who portrayed Anse "Devil" Hatfield, took home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries. And if you didn't see his performance... well, as he said during his acceptance speech, "Thank god for TV reruns."
Here's a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Robert De Niro
Age: 69
Occupation: Actor, Director and Producer
Known For: A celebrated career including Oscars for his roles in 'The Godfather Part II' and 'Raging Bull,' iconic performances in films like 'Taxi Driver,' 'Cape Fear,' 'The Deer Hunter' and 'Awakenings,' and many collaborations with director Martin Scorsese
There's been a ton of rumors spreading around about the possibility of late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon taking on the most prestigious awards show in the nation: the Oscars. But the rumors are now put to rest as Jimmy Fallon speaks up about the hosting job.
Here's a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Dustin Hoffman
Age: 75

Here's a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Courteney Cox
Age: 48
Occupation: Actress
Known For: Her roles as Monica Geller on 'Friends' and as Jules Cobb on 'Cougar Town,' other roles on shows like 'Family Ties' and 'Dirt,' starring in the 'Scream' movie franchise, being that girl Bruce Springsteen pulls onstage to boogie in his 'Dancing in the Dark' video, and her now-former marriage to the eccentric and loose-lipped David Arquette

Swagbucks - the more you earn the more you can redeem for GIFTCARDS!! FREE!! LEGIT!!!
If anyone wants to join up or knows someone who does...pls consider using my referral or passing it along. You don't have to but if you do, thanks.
You can copy and paste into a browser...or you can PM me the email that you will sign up with for SB.
Below in replies are tips taken from a blog that will help you learn about and earn SB!
I use it everyday now and it is such an easy way to get GIFTCARDS to places like Amazon and Walmart among others without spending your own money from the bank :) Please ask any questions and we will help you too!
10. Play Swagbucks Games
I tried my hand at the Swagbucks games and was less than enthused. However, I'm one of those people who basically finds computer games incredibly boring. If you're unlike me and you enjoy computer games, this might be a great way to earn Swagbucks.
Sarah, from Free or Better commented last week:
I make the most with the Games. I'm really, really good at one game in particular, and for awhile I was winning up to 10 tournaments a day for probably 200 Swagbucks. Then they put a five-tournaments-a-month limit, and I stick to the big weekly ones, still winning 1000-2000 Swagbucks each for those.
11. Go Through the No Obligation Special Offers
Every day, you can go to the No Obligation Special Offers section and skip through all the offers (sign up if something interests you, but skip those which don't interest you). At the end, you just have to type in a simple phrase and you'll earn two Swagbucks. From start to finish, this will take you no more than 20 seconds and you can do it every single day!
12. Purchase Groupons Through Swagbucks
If you're going to purchase a Groupon deal, always head to the Daily Deals page on Swagbucks and click through there to purchase it. In many cases, you'll earn 150 to 300 Swagbucks for your purchase — which can make the Groupon deal even sweeter!
13. Trade-In
If you have old cell phones, MP3 players, games, consoles or books you want to get rid of, check out how many Swagbucks you can earn by trading them in. After looking up your item, you can print out a pre-paid shipping label and receipt, stick it in the mail and you'll be awarded your Swagbucks after your trade-in is processed.
14. Follow Swagbucks on Twitter
If you follow Swagbucks on Twitter, you'll be the first to know about Twitter-only codes available. Plus, multiple times per week, they randomly award Twitter followers with 100 free Swagbucks for tweeting using the hastag #Swagbucks.
15. Follow Swagbucks on Facebook
The Swagbucks Facebook Page is the place to find out about the latest Swagcodes and discuss all things related to Swagbucks. Since there are so many members and everyone is allowed to post on the wall, sometimes the discussions or comments get a little out of hand.
Also, I've found that the Swagbucks Facebook Page is a goldmine for finding the best phrases to search. I never seem to have great success when searching on my own, but when I search the phrases people suggest on there, I almost always win double digit Swagbucks. I have no idea what's up with that, but you should try it, too!
How to Earn 15 Swagbucks Every Day in Less Than Five Minutes (enough for a $5 Amazon Gift Card each month)
Search and Win (see my suggestion above for searching phrases on the Swagbucks Facebook Page)– approximately 10 points
Click on NOSO and Skip Offers — 2 Swagbucks
Take the Daily Poll — 1 Swagbuck
Login Via the Toolbar — 1 Swagbuck
Click on Trusted Surveys — 1 Swagbuck
How to Earn 100 Swagbucks Every Day (enough for $25+ in Amazon Gift Cards each month)
Search — approximately 10 points
Click on NOSO and Skip Offers — 2 Swagbucks
Take the Daily Poll — 1 Swagbuck
Login Via the Toolbar — 1 Swagbuck
Click on Trusted Surveys — 1 Swagbuck
Complete Two Offers Worth at Least 8 Points Each
Watch 250 Videos — 75 Swagbucks (If you work on the computer a lot, you can just play these while you're working on other things and click over and start another video every few minutes. You'll earn 3 Swagbucks for every 10 videos you watch.)
[And yes, watching 250 videos per day is probably completely unrealistic for most of us (I rarely watch more than 40 per day and I work on the computer for a few hours most days!), but I just thought it'd be fun to show how it is possible to earn 100 Swagbucks per day without purchasing a Groupon, signing up for trial offers which require a credit card or having any referrals under you!]
TSG's Tips – The New Swagbucks Toolbar
Morning! TSG is here with an exciting update! Every day, after stuffing my face with scrambled eggs and potatoes (TSG's favorite breakfast), TSG signs into Swagbucks and runs straight for the daily bonus bucks. I cast my vote in the Daily Poll, browse through the NOSO's, and enhance my Swagbucks experience by having the Swagbucks Toolbar downloaded on my browser. Here at Swag Central, we are constantly pursuing new ways to improve our site and your earning opportunities. That is why, Swaggernauts, we are now introducing the new and better-than-ever Swagbucks Toolbar.
With the new Swagbucks Toolbar, you have the ability to search, watch SBTV, and now, find Swag Codes. Instead of visiting our Search page, you can conveniently perform any web search from wherever you are on the internet! To search, simply type in the search box and click on "Search and Win."
Just as in our previous Toolbar, you have access to SBTV, ready for watching right from your browser. To watch SBTV, click on the SBTV button. You may need to first click on the two arrows on the right side of the Toolbar to find the SBTV button.
You will see, to the left of the SBTV button, a box titled "Check for Swag Code." This is where things get exciting.
This box, upon clicking "Check for Swag Code", will either provide you with a hint to the current active Swag Code or it will display an active Swag Code right there. If a hint is provided, it may say, for example: "Check Facebook". If a code is provided, just copy and paste that string of text into the "Gimme" box on the Swagbucks homepage to redeem your bucks.
You also have the option of adding apps to your Swagbucks Toolbar. To do so, simply click the plus sign (+) all the way to the right of the Toolbar.
This will direct you to a site where you can choose from thousands of free apps for your browser. From games to music to Pinterest, they have just the apps you are looking for. TSG has already added the Sports News! app.
To visit Swagbucks.com at any time, just click on the Swagbucks logo on the left side of the Toolbar.
Just as before, you will earn 1 bonus buck every day you open your browser with the downloaded Swagbucks Toolbar.
To download the new Swagbucks Toolbar, click here and follow the steps.
We hope these improvements bring you a better and more rewarding Swagbucks experience. Let TSG know what you think of the new Swagbucks Toolbar in the comments section below.

Kicking Off AAPI Heritage Month 2013
Today marks the first day of this year's Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. To mark the occasion, President Obama issued a Presidential Proclamation. In it, the President highlighted the importance of using this month to reflect upon the history and contributions of AAPIs to this country:
"Each May, our Nation comes together to recount the ways Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) helped forge our country. We remember a time 170 years ago, when Japanese immigrants first set foot on American shores and opened a path for millions more. We remember 1869, when Chinese workers laid the final ties of the transcontinental railroad after years of backbreaking labor. And we remember Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have made our country bigger and brighter again and again, from Native Hawaiians to the generations of striving immigrants who shaped our history -- reaching and sweating and scraping to give their children something more. Their story is the American story, and this month, we honor them all."
This year, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center selected a Heritage Month theme, "I Want the Wide American Earth," based on the poem by acclaimed Filipino American writer, Carlos Bulosan. As Bulosan so eloquently writes:
Before the brave, before the proud builders and workers,
I say I want the wide American earth
For all the free.
I want the wide American earth for my people.
I want my beautiful land.
I want it with my rippling strength and tenderness
Of love and light and truth
For all the free.
Bulosan's poem captures the scope and ambition of the American Dream. His words also reflect the enduring spirit of many AAPI immigrants and refugees seeking freedom and prosperity for their families.
Over the next month, we will highlight the many ways in which the Obama Administration continues to address the needs of the AAPI community, for example by working towards commonsense immigration reform. We encourage you to share your own stories and the work that's being done in your communities.
Throughout the month, we will also host a number of exciting events, including:
Google+ Hangout for AAPI Heritage Month
Today, from 3:00 – 3:45PM EST, Lisa Ling, Phil Yu (the blogger behind Angry Asian Man), and representatives from the White House Initiative on AAPIs and the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center will help launch AAPI Heritage Month through a Google+ Hangout (webcast discussion).

White House Forum on AAPI Heritage
On Thursday, May 9th from 1:00 – 5:00PM EST, national leaders and scholars will gather to discuss how the legacy of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders should be recognized, preserved, and interpreted for future generations. The event will feature remarks by senior Obama Administration officials and panel discussions featuring nationally recognized AAPI scholars and historians.

AAPI Heritage Month is an annual call to action for the AAPI community. We would like to hear about your plans to observe AAPI Heritage Month and your vision of the "Wide American Earth," and encourage you to fill out this feedback form. Together, we look forward to celebrating the contributions of the AAPI community in the month ahead, and we hope you will visit www.whitehouse.gov/aapi to learn more.

One more nugget from News Corp.'s earnings call: Asked by Jessica Reif Cohen where the Fox Business Network is relative to expectations and about expected losses, Murdoch replied: "We can talk pretty honestly about it. … It will probably cost us best part of $60 million to $70 million this year. We are fighting very hard for greater distribution. We are achieving it slowly. And when we get over 50 million subscribers, we will turn on a lot more heat, we will turn on better programs and we think we will be much more aggressive in getting advertising. But I think that's another year to two years away."
An FBN spokeswoman says the network is available in more than 40 million homes now. That's the only metric the network offers. It's not a full client of Nielsen; in the first year, the number of households usually has been too low to measure regularly. One recent publicized exception: BusinessWeek reported that more than 100,000 people watched FBC's two prime-time shows last month on the day the Dow fell 778 points. But BW also estimated that roughly 32,000 or so were tuning in daily during the heavy crisis days, while more mature and fully distributed CNBC drew 541,000.

Northwest Division preview
Share This Story
Vancouver CanucksTHN Prediction: Third in Western Conference
Key departures: Mattias Ohlund, D; Taylor Pyatt, LW; Mats Sundin, C Twin brothers Daniel and Henrik Sedin don't qualify for the "key additions" category, but considering they could have gone anywhere else as unrestricted free agents, keeping them in Vancouver was a key signing by GM Mike Gillis. The offense revolves around the Sedins just the way the defense is anchored by all-world stopper Roberto Luongo. Continued growth from Ryan Kesler, Mason Raymond and Steve Bernier will boost the secondary scoring, while rookie Cody Hodgson is the wild card. He has the credentials to step in and be an immediate hit if given ample opportunity on the top three lines. Gillis made a concerted move just before training camp opened by adding mobility on the blueline in the form of Christian Ehrhoff and Mathieu Schneider. Vancouver's defense was solid last season, but was at times plodding. Now the Canucks are five deep with defensemen who can move the puck quickly into the neutral zone, a trait the franchise has never enjoyed before. It was surely sparked by division rival Calgary's signing of crafty Jay Bouwmeester.
Calgary FlamesTHN Prediction: Fifth
Key departures: Mike Cammalleri, LW; Adrian Aucoin, D; Todd Bertuzzi, LW; Jordan Leopold, D Perhaps more important than the signing of free-agent defenseman Jay Bouwmeester was the securing of coach Brent Sutter to guide a lineup studded with a half-dozen stars and a plateful of role players. Players were given offensive freedom under deposed coach Mike Keenan, but as a group became irresponsible and scatterbrained defensively. Defenseman Dion Phaneuf regressed in a huge way both offensively and defensively, and over-worked goalie Miikka Kiprusoff saw his save percentage sag for a fourth straight season. Under Sutter, the Flames will surely start the season with a defense-first approach. Olli Jokinen has to step up and show he can produce for a full season, which shouldn't be a problem playing on a line with Jarome Iginla. The loss of Mike Cammalleri will be felt, but candidates to pick up the scoring slack include Nigel Dawes and Rene Bourque. The Calgary defense with Robyn Regehr, Cory Sarich, Mark Giordano and sophomore Adam Pardy is among the top two or three in the league.
Edmonton OilersTHN Prediction: 11th Key additions: Nikolai Khabibulin, G; Mike Comrie, C
Key departures: Dwayne Roloson, G; Ales Kotalik, LW Not a whole lot has changed from a lineup that finished 11th in the conference last season. Dwayne Roloson couldn't have played any better in goal, so there's no guarantee Nikolai Khabibulin will be much of an upgrade. It's up to new coach Pat Quinn to squeeze more out of a group of underachievers under deposed Craig MacTavish. The speed and skill from the likes of Ales Hemsky, Andrew Cogliano, Sam Gagner and Robert Nilsson is undeniable, but the team lacks grit in the trenches on the top two lines. Much more will be expected from big teddy bear Dustin Penner. There are no issues with skill and mobility on the blueline, but again the Oilers lack the toughness in comparison to Western Conference contenders. Edmonton needs to embrace Quinn's strategies and find a way to get consistent scoring from more than just a few players.

Minnesota WildTHN Prediction: 13th Key additions: Martin Havlat, RW; Kyle Brodziak, C; Greg Zanon, D; Shane Hnidy, D; Petr Sykora, RW
Key departures: Marian Gaborik, RW; Martin Skoula, D; Stephane Veilleux, LW; Marc-Andre Bergeron, D; Kurtis Foster, D; Dan Fritsche, C It's a brave, new world in Minnesota with the departure of the team's original top pick and superstar Marian Gaborik and defense-first coach Jacques Lemaire. With Todd Richards behind the bench and Chuck Fletcher replacing Doug Risebrough as GM, the Wild will surely be a more exciting, risk-oriented team than previous editions. Mikko Koivu will lean heavily on newcomer Martin Havlat to spearhead the attack, but a lot depends upon the maturation of second-line players Pierre-Marc Bouchard and James Sheppard. More offensive green lights will boost their stats, but may not translate into more wins.
Colorado AvalancheTHN Prediction: 14th Key additions: Craig Anderson, G; Kyle Quincey, D; Matt Duchene, C; Tom Preissing, D
Key departures: Joe Sakic, C; Ian Laperriere, RW; Ryan Smyth, LW; Andrew Raycroft, G; Tyler Arnason, C; Cody McCormick, RW; Ben Guite, C The retirement of Joe Sakic will hit the Avalanche franchise hard this season and a handful of expiring contracts that were not renewed promises there will be a lot of young, new faces in the lineup. Top draft pick Matt Duchene will be given every chance to make an offensive difference and young prospects such as T.J. Galiardi and Chris Stewart will have to play themselves off the roster. More than ever, Paul Stastny is the go-to player and wingers Wojtek Wolski and Milan Hejduk must ramp up the production if the Avalanche are to be consistently competitive. This is Craig Anderson's big break between the pipes and he'll have a cadre of proven veterans in front of him on the blueline, such as Adam Foote, Scott Hannan, Ruslan Salei, Brett Clark and John-Michael Liles. The lack of depth and experience on the second and third lines will make Anderson's mandate to come up with big-game performances imperative.

This is a very rare date in any Mint State grade and apparently most of the original 40,000 coined entered circulation and served hard time. On the obverse we note a very sharp strike, with all the stars showing their radial lines and the skirt lines on Liberty particularly sharp. The reverse is similarly well struck, with strong definition on the eagle's claws, feathers and the shield. Die rust is seen in the fields on the obverse, with a raised lump in the field near the twelfth star, but more so on the reverse where numerous raised lumps are present, particularly below OF. We also note a few scrapes on the reverse, a couple behind the eagle's neck and another left of the mintmark, and these perhaps account for the grade.

Mark Cuban, staying silent
May 31, 2011, 6:58 PM EDT
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has never been shy about — well, anything, ever. He blogs, he tweets, he talks, he seemingly rarely has a private thought. And yet, a half-decade after the Mavericks lost to the Heat in the Finals and Cuban was at his most visible, vocal, and demonstrative, Cuban has gone into something of a radio silence. The New York Times' Howard Beck has the details:
On the eve of the Mavericks' finals rematch with the Miami Heat, Cuban had gone silent. No blog posts, no boastful messages on Twitter, no provocative sound bites. He has not spoken on the record since early May. Dallas reporters have been greeted by an empty StairMaster.
Late last week, Cuban declined a reporter's request with a Twitter-length e-mail: "not doing any interviews."
The 2006 Heat-Mavericks finals were dominated by Dwyane Wade, officiating controversy and Cuban. This series, it seems, will be different.
"I think this time around, it's more about us," said Mavericks guard Jason Terry, one of two holdovers from the 2006 team. "I think he's tried to stay away from being a distraction, and it's working out for us."
This is, according to those who cover Cuban, the longest he has gone without speaking publicly since he took over the franchise in 2000.
Beck presents plenty of theories for Cuban's silence, including superstition, not wanting to be a distraction to his team, or just not wanting to pay any more than the $1.8 million Cuban has already given the NBA in fine money.
However, everyone does seem to agree that Cuban's silence will be short-lived if the Mavericks manage to win the title:
The players and coaches seem to genuinely appreciate Cuban's willingness to fade into the background at this critical time. No one expects it to last, however.
"In the end, he'll have his time to shine," Terry said with a smile, foreshadowing a happy ending.
And if Cuban's team does take the title?
"He won't keep his mouth shut," [The Dallas Morning News' Tim Cowlishaw] said.
- delius1967 - May 31, 2011 at 7:05 PM
Cuban's comments directly led to the Mavericks' loss in 2006. Stern's animosity toward him is well-known, and the Game 3 and Game 5 officiating in that series was so blatantly biased toward Miami that had it been an election, there would have been a recall. Cuban is doing the right thing to keep silent… at least for now.
- denverhoopdreams - May 31, 2011 at 7:46 PM
Why can't the fans vote the next commish? I mean, we give stupid people the right to vote for our countries President… NBA fans should have the right to vote Stern out.
Dreamsssss. So nice.

- sprest83 - Jun 1, 2011 at 12:36 PM
There was a huge difference in 2006. Mavs players were practically diving out of Wades way and were still getting foul calls. 90% of the foul calls were phantom fouls, he wasn't even touched.

Jagr to Philly; Richards looking for new NHL home
NEW YORK So much for this being an unattractive bunch of NHL free agents.
While Dallas Stars center Brad Richards was considered the cream of a small elite crop of players available on the open market, dozens of other players reached deals Friday in the first few hours of the shopping season.
"You saw quite a bit of money spent today," Boston general manager Peter Chiarelli said.
Teams had plenty of it, working under a new salary cap ceiling of $64.3 million cap - a $4.9 million increase over last season.
As afternoon turned into night, the highly coveted Richards still hadn't cashed in and picked a new team to join. He was wooed all day long while sitting in his agent's office in Mississauga, Ontario, welcoming some teams who made in-person pitches.
The New York Rangers and Toronto were considered to be the favorites to eventually land him.
"We talked to the agent a few times," said Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren, who was busy with several other big moves. "I think they're going to take their time, so we really don't know what they're going to do. But we're still looking."
Columbus started the signing frenzy when it locked up defenseman James Wisniewski with a six-year, $33 million deal an hour before he would have become an unrestricted free agent. Columbus acquired the exclusive negotiating rights to Wisniewski on Wednesday from Montreal for a 2012 seventh-round draft pick.
"I've always used the term irrational exuberance of July 1 and I think it might have exceeded that today, not just with dollars but term," San Jose GM Doug Wilson said. "That just tells you about supply and demand. That's why we always try to be ahead of the curve with what it is we want and go get it because under this system everything comes with a cost."
Wilson struck early to get the defenseman he wanted when he acquired Brent Burns from Minnesota at last week's draft in the big deal that sent forward Devin Setoguchi to the Wild.
San Jose then filled two more needs, signing forward Michal Handzus to a $5 million, two-year contract and defenseman Jim Vandermeer to a $1 million, one-year deal.
Through Friday evening, there were unofficially about 70 new deals reached during the first day of free agency. Of the 30 NHL teams, 25 signed at least one player and 23 of those came to terms with a player who was with a different team last season.
The biggest name to find a new home Friday was 39-year-old Jaromir Jagr, who is returning to the NHL from Russia's Kontinental Hockey League after a three-season stint there following his time with the Rangers.
All signs pointed to Jagr going back to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team he broke in with and won the Stanley Cup twice during his early years with Mario Lemieux. But the Penguins pulled their reported $2 million off the table Friday morning, and were joined soon after when Detroit announced that it also was out of the running.

Mantega May Quit Finance Role Over Wife's Health, Epoca Says
Jan. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Brazil's Finance Minister Guido Mantega may resign to spend more time with his sick wife, Epoca said, citing unidentified people close to President Dilma Rousseff.
Mantega will step aside if the health of Eliane Berger Mantega, who was recently diagnosed with cancer, worsens, the magazine said. He could be replaced by deputy Finance Minister Nelson Barbosa, Epoca said.
Mantega isn't considering resigning, a media official at the Finance Ministry, who asked not to be identified in accordance with internal policy, said by phone from Brasilia today.

Tia and Tamera Mowry rocked very different looks for the 2013 Teen Choice Awards last Sunday, but who's style did you prefer?
Tamera kept it basic with black-and-white by pairing a white shorts suit with a black halter top. She completed the look with black mesh booties and gold jewelry. Then Tamera added a nice little pop of color with her green Melie Bianco clutch.
Tia decided to be a little more colorful by wearing House of Holland sheer knit top and a Rebecca Vallance floral pencil skirt. She completed the look with purple satin peep-toes by Salvatore Ferragamo.
Both of the ladies looked lovely, but which one really rocked the aqua carpet? You tell us!

Publishers Weekly
Knowles promises more than she delivers in her first novel, which opens with a bold move. Leah Greene is dead; "It's over," says the 17-year-old narrator, Lainey, in the first chapter. "And it's my fault." A lengthy exposition proves anticlimactic: years earlier, when the girls were in fifth grade, popular Leah manipulated ugly-duckling Lainey into secret sexual experimentation, then used their secret to blackmail her. Over the years Leah's control deepens as Lainey glimpses clues that explain Leah's disturbing behavior (she is being molested by a friend of the family). Unfortunately, Lainey spends too much time feeling contempt for herself to leave readers enough room to identify with her, and credible, rarely addressed issues get buried beneath overdone characterizations and unrealistic plotting. Ages 14-up. (Nov.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
