In the past you've talked a little bit about what I guess you'd call a pay-for-performance model where you partner with another firm to provide the headcount behind the technologies for some customers. Is that one of the reasons that teleco picked up in the quarter and could you maybe give a little bit more of an update on that part of the model?
Tim Bixby
Yes, it is a real driver behind both the telco percentage of business and pay-for-performance. I think it's continuing to do well. We're actually seeing among our top five customers by year end we anticipate one or more of those may be a pay-for-performance customer, so that's really a testament to how well that's working. We're also continuing internal investment in that group; we'll be adding at least one more and potentially two more headcount to support that expansion. So things definitely continue to go according to plan and continue to expand there.

And you've in the past talked about customers [break in audio] over certain break points per year [break in audio] over half a million or over a million. Do you have those numbers you can share again?
Tim Bixby
Yes. We're going to give a little less detail on that because it was becoming a little bit - as those numbers got large it became a little cumbersome we're going to clean it up and give a number of $1 million. So the number of customers over $1 million of annualized revenue last quarter was eight and this quarter it increased to 10. So we're going to try and keep it to that metric going forward just to give you some flavor for it but keep it a little less complicated.

Your next question comes from Richard Fetyko - Merriman Curhan Ford & Co.
Richard Fetyko - Merriman Curhan Ford & Co.
A couple of questions with respect to your guidance for the full year. It assumes a revenue acceleration in dollar and growth terms for the third and fourth quarters. I'm just curious what level of confidence and visibility you have in that? It sounds like the activity in your pipeline and the size of deals has increased but any other sort of light you could shed on your visibility and confidence in the acceleration of revenue growth in the second half of '09?
