Resource of the Week
--------------------
by Shirl Kennedy, Deputy Editor

Business--United States
   Yahoo Finance Adds New Service for Business Researchers
   It's that time of the year again for corporations -- annual
   shareholder meeting season. Which means corporate governance is a
   key topic. And our Resource of the Week is a new feature offered by
   Yahoo! Finance: corporate governance ratings from Institutional
   Shareholder Services, Inc. The ratings -- available for more than
   7,500 publicly traded companies around the world (including 5,500
   U.S. companies) -- are now part of the company profiles on Yahoo!
   Finance.
