REFILE - CORRECTING SPELLING OF DOW JONES The Dow Jones news ticker in New York's Times
Square displays the headline that News Corp. is bidding to buy the Dow Jones Company May 1, 2007. News Corp. is seeking to buy Wall Street Journal
publisher Dow Jones & Co. Inc. for about $5 billion, in a deal that would make media mogul Rupert Murdoch a major player in global financial news.
Dow Jones said on Tuesday its board of directors and trustees of the controlling Bancroft family are evaluating the unsolicited $60-a-share bid,
a 65 percent premium to its closing price on Monday.

Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the chairman and publisher of The New York Times Company,
leaves the company's shareholders' meeting in this, April 24, 2007 file photo in New York. Family control of publicly traded newspaper companies
has long been seen as a necessary bulwark against shareholder pressure and unwelcome takeover bids, allowing the publishers to focus on public
service and the long-term health of their companies. Today, that structure is under pressure like never before, as media baron Rupert Murdoch
sets his sights on taking over Dow Jones & Co. and as shareholders raise a storm of protest over how the New York Times Co. is being run.

In my previous letter of 29 April 2007 with the title
"Mr. Bean's Hugh Grant"
it contains about "………..the presenters at Fox and Friends, Steve Doocey,
Gretchen Carlson, and Bryan Kilmead, were talking about Hugh Grant's case of hurling a container of
baked beans at a photographer, they joked by saying: ‘We should be better call him Mr. Beans......’ "
Above that letter, there was another letter of
"Queen Elizabeth's Plan Visit to Virginia Tech",
where I wrote "….That argument of mind toward my sister could be then considered as my being someone with bad temper".
I have mistakenly written the word "bad temper" with lack of "ed", it should have been "bad tempered".
While the letter of "‘Mr. Bean's’ Hugh Grant" was placed at the down part of the
page. Then came the news on May 1, 2007 about Fox News boss, the media mogul form down under Australia, Rupert Murdoch,
interested in planning to launch a takeover bid for the US publishing firm Dow Jones.
Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, said Tuesday, May 1, 2007 it has
received an unsolicited bid from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. to buy the company for $60 per share, or $5 billion.
When today I browsed the internet to search for the related photos, one of Rupert Murdoch’s photos
was having a pose similar to Paris Hilton in my latest painting of "Paris Phone Call" that also related with Michale Phelps won
seventh gold medal with his fifth world record in World Swimming Championships at Melbourne, Australia.
