Tax Preparation Industy is Prime For Fraudnew
Income-tax preparers are not regulated. In Maryland, they're not even required to be accountants, nor is there a bond or insurance requirement tax preparers must meet, as there is with consumer lenders. There is no test that needs to be taken, and there's not even a roster of preparers' names and addresses.

Human Bell Tolls For Theenew
Soundtrack music is a big place, and Human Bell doesn't fit quite well with the drifts of Colleen, the drones of Eluvium, or much else in the wandering world of sit and stare music-or, in this case, chat and smoke cigarettes music.
