When Senator Tom Brady is on the vice presidential short list in 2020, getting vetted by his party's handlers and a couple of dozen PIs on patrol for bimbo eruptions and other past episodes of unwholesome behavior, he'll think back to a specific spring night in 2005 and thank himself for not doing whatever wanton thing he could have done when the opportunity presented itself. For as he tells me one evening in April—a week after the night in question—he very nearly got himself into a... situation with some, uh�guys.
"I was in New York City," Brady says, "and I was around some people that... [careful pause] it just wouldn't be good for me to be around. Not that they were bad people. It's just, their agenda was different than mine. And I didn't know these people that well. They were kind of...friends of a friend? And I knew the friend, and I told him, 'Listen, I'm gonna go do something else.' And he understood."
I appreciate that Brady is being strategically nonspecific here, but my goodness, he brought it up, this defused potential moment of ignominy. The mind reels. Were these gentlemen heading off to an after-hours bodega back room to wager on cockfights? Was a van with tinted windows waiting to take Tom's nonacquaintances to a skeezy gutter palace of mirror balls and methamphetamine?
"Can you give me a ballpark sense of what you're talking about?" I ask.
"Just...the things that were going on with the people I was with," he says. "The things they were choosing to do didn't...fit with my plan."
"Your plan."
"Yeah. You could make a thousand good decisions, and you make one bad decision and that's the only thing people will remember."
His plan. For now, Brady says, it is to win another Super Bowl, which would bring his total of championship rings to four in five years, and to be the best New England Patriots quarterback he can be. He offers a lot of rhetoric to this effect, a lot of coachspeak about "getting everyone on the same page" and "taking my preparation to a new level." But the plan is something bigger, too, if not yet fully formed. The very week we're having this discussion, he is furiously multitasking, taking a trip to Washington, D.C., for the requisite championship-team photo op at the White House, schmoozing some new business associates, and rehearsing for his arrival-signifying stint as host of Saturday Night Live just a few days away.
Understandably, then, he looks kind of peaked as we sit in the lounge of his hotel at the end of a long day, his face unshaven, his lank spilling over his chair's arms and cushion like a teenager's. Eating chips and sipping a Coke, Brady is still Tiger Beat dreamy—the strikingly green eyes, the dimple in the chin, the jawline out of DC Comics' Super Friends. But his voice sounds an octave lower than it was during his first flush of fame in 2001, the annus mirabilis during which he rose from roster nonentity to starting QB of a soon-to-be-championship team. His outfit, a sort of postcollegiate Abercrombie ensemble, aptly captures the transitional state he's in: The jeans and sneakers say wide-eyed tyro, but the business shirt (untucked) and expensive-looking blazer say polished, seen-it-all veteran.
As overextended as Brady is, he can't help but brighten with student-council enthusiasm as he describes how psyched he is to host SNL, especially because it gives him the opportunity to study the legendary playmaker Lorne Michaels up close. "A very interesting person," he says. "He's been running the show for the last thirty years. And you sit there and say, 'Well, what makes him tick? How does he continue to stay motivated? How does he keep the edge?' Same thing with being around [Patriots coach] Bill Belichick: 'How am I gonna learn from this?' "
Somehow you doubt Fran Tarkenton and Joe Montana were busily taking notes on the boomer-humor auteur when they hosted the show back in the '70s and '80s, respectively. But for the earnestly self-edifying Brady, life is a series of teachable moments. He also insisted on meeting with the CEOs of the three companies with whom he has national endorsement deals—Nike, the Gap, and Sirius Satellite Radio—because, he explains, "I want to meet the people who are in charge, who make these things happen, who are part of the bigger picture."
Just as the woozy, druggie '70s gave rise to the cursin', drinkin' outlaw Kenny "the Snake" Stabler of that decade's great Oakland Raiders teams, and just as the obliviously cocky pre-9/11 '90s begat the blond, flat-affect Cowboy Troy Aikman, Brady is the perfect face of the image-conscious NFL in this politically cautious, support-our-troops climate. Entrepreneurial, hardworking, humble off the field and confident on it, he's acutely, safely all-American—the kind of guy who will accept a contract for well below market value ($60 million over six years, versus roughly $14 million a year for the Colts' Peyton Manning and $13 million for the Falcons' Michael Vick) so that his team will have enough left under the cap to adequately fill other positions. "Is it going to make me feel any better to make an extra million, which, after taxes, is about $500,000?" Brady said in May, after agreeing to his new deal. "That million might be more important to the team."
Yet he's not some anodyne Goody Two-Shoes. A few days after our meeting at the hotel, the Saturday Night Live appearance finds Brady plunging into the goofy material, performing a song-and-dance routine, salvaging a nonsensical sketch about "Tom Brady's Falafel City" after a cast member flubs his lines, and appearing in a prefilmed bit wearing nothing below his waist but Jockey shorts, business shoes, and hosiery.

Center for Sustainable Change transforms the lives of children, youth, and young adults in distress.
Bringing Understanding to an Emerging Issue:
DISTRESS IN CHILDREN, YOUTH and YOUNG ADULTS Bringing relief to a person (young or old) in distress involves eliciting a deep understanding of how the mind works to create thought and why thoughts appear real to us, even when they are memories. When people see for themselves how to navigate the ups and downs of their own thinking, they can find peace of mind in the present, regardless of their past.
The inside-out approach of the Three Principles is to share knowledge of Mind, Consciousness and Thought that is uniquely capable of meeting the needs of young people in distress (who may be bullied, struggle with mental health issues, feel isolated and alone, and/or live in communities where violence and poverty are prevalent), assisting them in finding their own spark of wisdom within themselves.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Friday to approve a bill making the research-and-development tax credit permanent, even as the White House has threatened to veto the bill due to funding concerns.
As WSJ's John McKinnon reports, the House voted 274-131 to approve House Resolution 4438, which would renew, simplify, and make permanent the popular business tax break.
The 50-some tax credits and deductions that expired last year are on the road to renewal.
The Senate Finance Committee will meet in Washington, D.C., on Thursday at 10 a.m. to make revisions to a bill known as the Expiring Provisions Improvement Reform and Efficiency Act, committee chairman Ron Wyden (D., Ore) and ranking member Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) said Tuesday. The markup will allow the committee to vote for amendments, and then send the legislation to the full Senate for a vote.
Many U.S. businesses have given up hope that a major corporate tax overhaul will get traction in Congress this year.
Set back by changing congressional leadership, other priorities in the White House, and upcoming midterm elections, none of the 129 business tax executives polled in a survey by law firm Miller & Chevalier this week expected major changes to tax legislation.
U.S. state governments are reporting modest gains in corporate income tax collections, but some are seeing giant increases while many other states falter.
State corporate income tax revenue rose 5.5% in the fourth quarter as 23 of 45 states reported gains over the year-ago quarter. The other 22 states reported declines, according to quarterly data Tuesday from the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government.
The absence of a popular corporate tax break for equipment purchases this year could drag down cash flow numbers for capital intensive companies.
The tax break, known as "bonus depreciation" has been especially popular among energy, utility and industrial companies over the last several years and helped reduce corporate tax bills. It has had a big impact on capital spending patterns and corporate cash flows because it reduces the amount of taxes companies have to pay, David Zion, a tax and accounting analyst at ISI Group, said in a recent note to clients.
The federal tax credit that lets companies write off some research and development costs is set to expire at the end of the year, but a surprising number of companies don't take full advantage of the perk.
About 80% of the $300.5 billion U.S. public companies disclosed in research and development activity last year, came from manufacturers such as pharmaceutical, auto, and computer electronics companies, but some industries, including jewelry and sausage makers, barely claim any.
The perpetual uncertainty around the R&D credit is pushing some companies to shift research overseas and hurting the ability of smaller technology companies to compete with larger rivals. Companies also say it needlessly complicates annual budgeting and erodes their credibility with investors because they can't give reliable earnings forecasts.
The looming expiration of some big corporate tax credits is starting to make companies nervous. As Congress prepares for the next round of the budget battle, the uncertain fate of 55 federal tax breaks is muddying financial forecasts for next year, write CFOJ's Maxwell Murphy and Emily Chasan in today's Marketplace section.
Google Inc. may have reported lower-than-expected second-quarter revenue on Thursday but the company said its capital expenditures doubled.
The Internet search giant said its capital spending rose to $1.6 billion in the quarter, up from $774 million in the second quarter of last year. Capital expenditures were also a third higher than in the first quarter.
Corporate tax planning strategies that have pushed companies to leave profits offshore were in focus again on Thursday as the House Committee on Ways and Means held a hearing, on tax havens, erosion of the tax base and profit-shifting.
Congressman Dave Camp (R., Mich.), chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, had called the hearing to talk about international tax reform options that could lead to lower tax rates and changing the U.S. system of international taxation.
"It's only a 6 to 9 month window every two years that you could do something [on corporate tax reform]," former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, now senior counsel at Patton Boggs, told CFO Journal.

NHL Playoff Game Night: 4-18-14 Canadiens at Lightning
Submitted by pete on April 18, 2014 - 20:16Montreal defense throws the net over the Lightning.
Montreal Leads the Series 2-0
Anders Lindback allowed 3 goals on 23 shots for the loss before giving way to Kristers Gudlevskis, who allowed 1 on 4 shots the rest of the way. If Cooper had a wild hair to put Gudlevskis in for Game Three, the wraparound goal Gudlevskis allowed might've quieted that thought down. As for Lindback, the third goal went through him on a greasy little bounce back to Gallagher off the blocked shot and he whiffed on the poke check on Bourque's goal, but on balance he played reasonably well and kept the Lightning around for most of the game. Goaltending isn't the reason the Lightning are losing this series so far.
First Period
Second Period
2:34 MTL Desharnais (1), (Subban, Pacioretty)(PP)
10:35 MTL Bourque (1), (Vanek, Subban)
Third Period
11:46 MTL Gallagher (1), (unassisted)
14:39 MTL Bourque (2), (Eller)
18:01 TB Purcell (1), (Hedman, Filppula)(PP)
The first 10 minutes of the game took on the dimension of a lot of the regular season games between Tampa Bay and Montreal with the Lightning dominating possession and the Canadiens getting a few counter attacks in. That's where the Lightning need to get this series to get back into it. If possession is even or tilted in favor of Montreal, Price is probably too good to overcome. Unfortunately, in the second half of the First Period, a 4-minute minor on Stamkos started to take the starch out of the Lightning's offensive flow and when Desharnais scored the PP goal early in the Second Period after a ticky tack call on Panik, the offensive flow completely dissipated altogether. There's just too much inconsistency moving up the ice as a unit. Passing is off. Guys aren't consistently supporting their linemates. It wasn't as lopsided as the score indicates (shots were 27-26), but the Lightning need to get better within their structure to defeat Montreal's. It's a process, and they were certainly more together and composed than in Game One, and this series is nowhere near over. I reiterate the lesson of the 2003 series against Washington, when a young, talented Lightning team really looked terrible against a veteran Caps team in Game One and Game Two. Once they figured it out in Game Three, they swept the rest of that series. I have a feeling the Lightning may be capable of a similar breakout, but getting that first win is going to be the toughest. Hopefully the Lightning realize that and also realize the worst thing they can do at this moment is panic. Just win one game. That's all they need to worry about right now.
Mike Kostka had 1 shot, 1 hit, and 2 blocked shots in 13:13. His lack of speed and strength and decision making with the puck were a bit of an issue again tonight. At this stage, if I'm Cooper, I'm going to try to spark something by throwing Mark Barberio in against his hometown team for Game Three in lieu of Kostka, but we'll see how he plays it.
Cedric Paquette was -1 with 12 penalty minutes, 2 shots, and 2 hits in 10:18. He certainly wasn't at fault for the minus in the first Bourque goal where Salo was turned the wrong way, and he had a pretty glorious chance on Price in tight off a nice setup by Purcell. I like what Paquette brings, and on paper he's a playoff-style performer. But, needing a spark, again, if I'm Cooper I'm going in with Pyatt in Game Three.

NHL Playoff Game Night: 4-16-14 Canadiens at Lightning
Submitted by pete on April 16, 2014 - 21:27Young Lightning shy away from the moment.
Montreal Leads the Series 1-0
Anders Lindback allowed 5 goals on 44 shots for the OT Loss. Obviously the Lightning got outshot by a mile and only lost by a goal, so it's hard to complain too much about Lindback's play, but there were a couple of goals (Plekanec and Eller's goals) Lindback might want back. On the Plekanec goal, Lindback failed to get square to the shooter and was moving and on the Eller goal he got a piece but allowed it to get behind him and in. He's not the reason they lost tonight, and in fact he helped keep them in the game longer than they had any business being in the game. But, it's also fair to say he can play better, too.
First Period
10:09 TB Kucherov (1), (Brown, Paquette)
10:28 MTL Plekanec (1), (Emelin, Gallagher)
Second Period
13:24 TB Stamkos (1), (Kostka)
16:39 MTL Gionta (1), (Eller, Weaver)(SH)
Third Period
5:10 MTL Eller (1), (Gionta)
7:11 TB Killorn (1), (Johnson)
11:30 MTL Vanek (1), (Desharnais, Emelin)
13:27 TB Stamkos (2), (Killorn)
18:08 MTL Weise (1), (Brière, Gorges)
Steven Stamkos was the game's second star.
I'm kind of struggling about how to approach this one. Montreal came into this game very well prepared and with a plan to put pressure on the Lightning and on Lindback. For the most part, though, the Lightning did a decent early job of matching that intensity and they eventually manufactured the early goal by Kucherov all alone in the slot for the finish, and things were looking very rosy... for about 19 seconds. 19 seconds later Radko Gudas got undressed around the corner on the rush and Lindback allowed a semi-soft goal on the resulting shot from the left wing circle and the game was instantly tied, and the team's confidence immediately dissolved. They played the next 20 minutes of hockey scared and looking every bit a team that was terrified of the magnitude of playoff hockey. They struggled to get out of their end. They mishandled pucks. Their passing betrayed them. They gave a rash of turnovers to Montreal.
With all that happening, Lindback managed to keep the game at 1-1 until midway through the Second Period when the Lightning started to make a bit of a push, eventually culminating in a great individual effort by Stamkos to get a 2-1 lead and the Lightning going on the PP at 16:06 of the period on a horribly undisciplined penalty by blockhead PK Subban. You had the feeling that the Lightning were about to really swing the game in their favor at that moment when Victor Hedman made a pinch that a blind man would've seen was ill advised resulting in the Gionta shorthanded breakaway goal, and the Lightning played pretty much the entire rest of the game on their heels. Their Third Period was as bad a period as I've seen them play all year and only an abnormally mortal Carey Price allowed the Lightning to stay in the game as long as they did. Also, I will say, credit to Alex Killorn who had a goal and an assist in the period and was one of the few Lightning forwards who played well (at least on the offensive end of the rink). In the end, though, Montreal simply had too much zone time and too many chances for the Lightning to overcome. They had a handful of dangerous chances in Overtime to steal the game, but that's all it would've been: a theft. They didn't deserve Game One, and in the end they didn't win Game One.
Now, if you want a silver lining: the Lightning can't possibly play worse than they did in Game One, so they only have one direction to go, which is up. They have some ongoing injury issues with Ondrej Palat leaving the game after knee-to-knee contact with Subban, an obviously hobbled Filppula, and Bishop still out of the lineup. But, with that put aside, it seems unlikely the Lightning will play another game the rest of these playoffs with that sort of fractured structure, poor passing, and timid approach because of the magnitude of the moment. I expect them to push back in this series, and if anyone is looking for a point of reference for a young Lightning team that struggled with the moment in their first few home playoff games before figuring it out, pop in the tape of Game One and Game Two against Washington back in 2003. This kind of tepid start can certainly be overcome.
Mike Kostka had a helper, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 23:46. He struggled a bit with the extra gear of the playoffs, to be honest, and made a couple of big mistakes on the Eller goal by failing to keep a puck in at the opposing blueline and then failing to pick up the trailer on the resulting odd-man rush. I'm interested to see if Cooper sticks with Kostka or gives Barberio a shot in Game Two.
Cedric Paquette had a helper, 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, 4 hits, and he was 27% on draws in 11:28. He played a very gritty playoff game and hit everything that moved. But, in the end, he wears the goat horns for abandoning Weise in front of the Lightning net on the game-winning goal in Overtime. It wasn't an athleticism issue, in this case, it was a decision making issue at a time of the year when poor decision making gets magnified ten-fold. Like Kostka, I'll be interested to see if Cooper sticks with Paquette or if he goes to the press box and brings in Pyatt or another forward. I feel bad for the young man because he played a pretty good game, otherwise.

NHL Game Day: 4-13-14 Lightning at Capitals
Submitted by pete on April 13, 2014 - 15:55101 reasons to be proud of their regular season.
Anders Lindback stopped all 18 shots he faced and 3 of 3 shooters for the SO victory to deliver the Lightning home ice in the first round of the playoffs against Montreal. His toe save on a Backstrom 1-timer on a Third Period penalty kill was the stuff of legend. Big Anders is definitely getting hot at the right time of the year.
First Period
Second Period
Third Period
TB- Carle
Lindback was named the first star of the game. The Lightning needed a win of any flavor to get home ice in the first round and, for the most part, they remained patient and didn't get too loose defensively trying to get the W. Washington looked like they wanted no part of the game and the Lightning dominated possession and shots (32-18), but with Holtby playing pretty well there was a chance the Lightning would start freelancing outside of their system and allow the Washington skill players to capitalize. They did not, fortunately, and Matt Carle delivered the one finish they needed to get the Lightning back to Tampa Bay on Wednesday for Game One against the Habs.
The Lightning finish the season with 101 points. Triple digits is impressive for any team. For a team with so many prospects who established themselves at the NHL level this year, though, it's unbelievable.
Mike Kostka had 1 hit and 3 blocked shots in 15:41 and was denied dekeing to his backhand in the penalty shot session.
Cody Kunyk had 2 shots and 1 hit and was 20% on draws in 10:12. He nearly set up Kucherov for the winner in the Third Period off some forechecking work in the corner. First impressions: smooth skater who will work hard in the corners and along the wall. First step could use a little attention, but couldn't we all use a little first step improvement? Should be a good add for Syracuse next season.
Cedric Paquette had 1 shot, 1 hit, and 2 blocked shots in 16:19 and was 47% on draws. He nearly set up Callahan for a nice deflection goal off the rush, but there were moments you could see his lack of speed could be a vulnerability on the backcheck.

NHL Game Night: 4-11-14 Blue Jackets at Lightning
Submitted by pete on April 11, 2014 - 20:24One more to go.
Kristers Gudlevskis stopped 36 of 38 for the victory in his first NHL shot. He was impressive. His quickness and athleticism are striking, and he showed a competitiveness and unwillingness to give up on plays that is also the hallmark of great netminders.
First Period
Second Period
3:55 TB Palat (23), (Killorn)(PP)
13:46 CBJ Jenner (16), (Johnson, Johansen)(PP)
14:54 TB Brewer (3), (Paquette)
18:06 TB Brewer (4), (Kostka, Panik)
Third Period
16:37 CBJ Savard (5), (Jenner, Comeau)
Gudlevskis, Eric Brewer, and Ryan Callahan were the game's three stars. It wasn't the best effort the Lightning have put forward, but Gudlevskis played well and the team capitalized on some shaky netminding by Columbus' McElhinney at the other end of the rink. It wasn't without a price, as Victor Hedman left the game early with a lower body injury and Ondrej Palat left after getting his bell rung on an open ice hit, but at this hour their absence seems more precautionary than anything else (although that's always subject to change).
The Lightning now have 99 points with 1 game to go. Win and they get home ice against Montreal in the opening round of the playoffs. Win and they break the 100 point barrier. Win, and they'll cap off one of the best regular seasons in team history.
Mike Kostka had a helper and was +1 with 1 shot and 3 hits in 20:35. He was forced into extra ice time with Hedman out of the game early, and he handled it reasonably well, even getting his 3rd point in 2 games since returning. Win if you can, survive if Mike Kostka lets you.
Cedric Paquette had a helper and was +1 with 1 hit and 2 blocked shots in 12:46. He was also 64% on 14 draws, including several wins while the Lightning were trying to stave off Columbus with their goaltender pulled at the end of the game. Good debut by Dump Truck, and I thought the scorekeepers cheated him out of a few hits because I counted 2-3 more. The young man's got a future on the team's fourth line.

AHL Game Night: 4-4-14 Devils at Crunch
Submitted by pete on April 4, 2014 - 21:4820 goals and counting for the Dump Truck.
Kristers Gudlevskis had a light workload, stopping 16 of 17 for the victory to get back on track.
First Period
Second Period
ALB Pesonen, (13) (Urbom, Wedgewood), 11:30 (PP)
SYR Paquette, (20) (Erne, Gourde), 17:58
Third Period
SYR Rankin, (14) (Sergeev), 8:21
Evan Rankin, Cedric Paquette, and Dmitry Korobov were the game's three stars. Tonight's goal puts Dump Truck at 20 in his rookie campaign. To put that accomplishment in perspective, here's three recent Lightning prospects who didn't make it to 20 goals as a rookie at the AHL level: Ondrej Palat, Richard Panik, and J.T. Brown. So, ponder that for a moment, and be impressed at what Paquette has accomplished in his first year of professional hockey.
Also, Adam Erne and Joel Vermin made their AHL debuts tonight with Erne getting his first point in the league by assisting on Paquette's goal.
Syracuse climbs back to 2 games under .500 for the season. I still contend a solid goal for the Crunch should be to get over .500 for the year, which will set the tone for a solid season next year.

On Sept. 27 operators of Tower Mart found a credit card skimming device inside one of the pumps when the gas station was opened that morning. Someone had opened the pump and installed it inside the pump. How long the device had been there and if anyone's credit or debit card was compromised is unknown, say Willits police.
Willits police credit the diligence of the Tower Mart employee with minimizing the impact to the public. The station at 120 N. Main Street closes at night, which could have allowed the credit thief to access it while attendants were not present.
Willits police encourage anyone who used a credit card at Tower Mart around that time to be particularly careful in checking credit card statements. Anyone who purchased gasoline at the station and discover fraudulent credit card usage on their accounts should contact Willits police at 459-6122.
While this is the first skimming device Willits police have seen, they have become an epidemic in some areas across the country. The newer devices are installed inside the pump itself, invisible to the consumer. Most pumps have universal style keys. Some of the devices are blue-tooth equipped and other, such as the one found in Willits, are put in place and then recovered after a certain period.
The data retrieved by the device can allow thieves to make their own fake credit cards using the data swiped from the card's magnetic strip or they can sell them to other groups who buy the data and make their own cards or steal identities.
Ways to avoid being targeted include choosing pumps closer to the attendant's location.

The road to a national title leads first through Palo Alto, Calif. The top-ranked Arizona State women's track team, which is shooting for the NCAA outdoor title, will make a pit stop today and Sunday at Stanford, where the Sun Devils will try to win the Pac-10 championships.
The men's team, ranked No. 6, also has a shot at the conference crown. To do so, it will need some help from Sun Devil football players.
For the women, "It's probably a dead heat between us and UCLA," coach Greg Kraft said.
"Our girls who can win (also) can win at the national level. But you can only win 10 points. So it's going to be a close race."
ASU ran into trouble in the heptathlon, which already has been completed.
Jacquelyn Johnson, one of the team's stars, suffered a slight quad injury and finished third, good for six team points.
She will compete this weekend in the high jump and javelin but not the hurdles (her biggest strength).
The ASU women are the defending champions. Last year's title was the first by the women in ASU history; the only other Pac-10 title for ASU was won by the men's team in 1981.
Returning individual champions include Amy Hastings in the women's 10,000-meter run, Brook Bennett in the women's 3,000 steeplechase and Aaron Aguayo in the men's steeplechase.
ASU's women should dominate the shot put.
Sarah Stevens, with a throw of 60 feet, 4.5 inches, ranks No. 1 in the nation and No. 5 in the world, while Jessica Pressley (59-7) ranks No. 2 in the nation and No. 8 in the world.
On the men's side, ASU's chances are hurt by a hamstring injury suffered Wednesday by star sprinter Domenik Peterson, who has the Pac-10's best time in the 200, second-best time in the 400 and is tied with teammate Kelvin Love Jr. for third in the 100.
Peterson probably won't compete.
"We were pretty strong favorites," Kraft said. "Now, this makes it a close race between us and USC."
Kraft credited football coach Dennis Erickson for releasing Rodney Glass, Justin Tryon and Brandon Smith.
All three will run the 100, while Tryon and Glass will go in the 400 relay.
"If we win, it will be a direct result of those guys," Kraft said. "They can flat out run."
The decathlon already has been completed. ASU's Joshua Kinnman placed fourth to give the men five points.

Emotions still running high after Critical Mass confrontation
A local cycling advocate says participants in Seattle's monthly Critical Mass rides are doing more harm than good to the bicycling community, after a melee erupted Friday night in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Now, drivers and cyclists are trading insults on local blogs and news sites.
Seattle Times staff reporter
It's supposed to be a rolling protest, a way to show a community just how many of its citizens use two wheels instead of four.
But one local cycling advocate says participants in Seattle's monthly Critical Mass rides are doing more harm than good to the bicycling community — and may even be pushing back efforts to smooth relations between motorists and cyclists.
"Critical Mass isn't doing Seattle any good — it's a rolling party," said Chris Cameron, director of the bicycle-commute program for the 10,000-member Cascade Bicycle Club. Critical Mass rides are held monthly in cities around the world to draw attention to cyclists' road rights.
A melee erupted Friday night in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood between a motorist and a group of Critical Mass cyclists. The driver and cyclists blame each other for escalating the incident into a violent clash that sent two men to local hospitals, two men to jail and a battered Subaru Impreza to an impound yard with $1,500 in damages.
Since then, the fight has gone online, with drivers and cyclists trading venomous insults — and offering differing versions of events — on local blogs and news sites.
Depending on who you talk to, Mark, a 23-year-old travel agent who lives on the Eastside, is either the aggressor or the victim at the center of Friday's altercation. But Tom Braun, a Seattle attorney who was run over by Mark, said the cyclists didn't provoke the fight that started when Mark floored his Subaru into a group of people.
Mark, who asked that his last name not be published because he is afraid for his safety, said Monday he found himself and a friend in an unfamiliar part of Seattle about 7 p.m. Friday as they headed to pick up another friend to go out to dinner.
Mark said Monday that he saw the mass of bicyclists and thought he'd accidentally driven into the Seafair Torchlight Parade route, so he pulled into a parking spot along Aloha Street to allow them to pass. But he said when he tried to pull back into traffic, he was blocked by cyclists who positioned themselves around his vehicle.
He admits he was angry and frustrated at being delayed — but panic and fear soon took over as the cyclists started rocking his car, saying they were going to tip it over. Mark said he revved his engine but didn't think his car was in gear. After it stalled, he restarted the engine in order to get away but says he didn't realize he hit two cyclists.
"I completely panicked and I was scared," he said. "I just felt completely cornered and threatened."
But Braun, the injured attorney, said it was Mark whom he saw acting "aggressive and belligerent" when Braun, who had been riding at the back of the Critical Mass pack, crested a hill on Aloha Street.
The Subaru was parked perpendicular to the street, and was backed over a sidewalk and someone's front lawn, said Braun, 36. He stopped and stood straddling his bike to watch as the cyclists tried to calm the driver.
"He was screaming the whole time and yelled something about being late for a [dinner] reservation — and he floors it, he literally floors it into a bunch of people and I took the brunt of it," he said.
A woman was also hit but jumped free, he said, and a man jumped onto the hood of the car to avoid being hit. But Braun — and his bike — got pulled beneath the vehicle.
"I was trying to hold onto the front and the bumper. I was pinned under the car, struggling for my life," he said. When Mark made a sharp left, a tire ran over Braun's right leg, but somehow, he managed to roll free of the car.
He didn't see what happened next.
But that's when, Mark said, he was mobbed by the cyclists, who shattered his windshield and rear window, dented the sides of his car, slashed his tires and tore off his driver's side mirror. As he stepped out of the Subaru, someone smashed something hard across the back of his head. He later learned it was likely a bike lock. Doctors stapled the wound closed.
"I didn't start the incident — they provoked it," Mark said. "I freaked out and overreacted. I should've turned my car off and waited for them to leave."
Mark said he thinks at least some of the Critical Mass riders were looking for a fight: "They were obviously equipped and intending to get in confrontations with motorists." Still, he's sorry others were hurt: "I want to apologize to the people I hit."
Though Braun declined medical treatment at the scene, he later went to the emergency room. No bones were broken but doctors are monitoring him for possible internal bleeding, Braun said.
A Seattle police report echoes Mark's version of events, but Braun said the officer who took his statement seemed to have already made up his mind "that this mob of crazy cyclists attacked this driver out of the blue." Even after hearing Braun's story, the officer told him: "Well, this is the way it's getting written up," Braun said.
Two cyclists — a 23-year-old and a 24-year-old — were booked into the King County Jail on suspicion of malicious harassment, a felony charge connected to the damage done to the Subaru. Both have since been released after posting $1,000 bonds, jail records show.
Seattle police are looking for a third man who is suspected of assaulting Mark with a bike lock, said police spokesman Mark Jamieson.
Like Braun, others who witnessed Friday's altercation are still shaken and say Mark should also be charged.
"I wish I didn't see this whole thing on Friday ... because it's terrifying to see someone intentionally driving into a group of bikers, and zooming off with a person on top of the car," wrote Esra, a Critical Mass participant, in an e-mail to The Seattle Times on Monday.
"I think tire slashing was a brilliant idea, but I wish nobody hit the driver on the head," wrote Esra, who asked that her last name not be published because of a fear of backlash. "I still believe, and will fight for it that driver wasn't the 'victim' and he started this whole mess, and he should be charged for what he did."
Jamieson said police commanders will look at how Critical Mass events are conducted. The investigation into Friday's incident is ongoing, and Jamieson couldn't say Monday whether Mark is likely to face charges.
Regardless of what happens in court, Cameron of the Cascade Bicycle Club said everyone involved behaved badly and is responsible for escalating the situation.
"The motorist should face charges, absolutely — he was in a 3,000-pound weapon that accelerated and hit somebody," Cameron said. "It was hooliganism on the cyclists' side, a mob mentality. They overreacted."
Still, he thinks tension between motorists and cyclists has actually decreased in recent years as drivers have become more accustomed to sharing the road with bicyclists.
Friday's clash "was an aberration," said Cameron. He said local Critical Mass rides haven't done anything to improve conditions for the riding public.
"It's kind of a merry pranksters event in Seattle versus the rolling protest I believe the original founders of the movement wanted to communicate," he said.
A Web site about Critical Mass events around the world — critical-mass.info — states that the monthly rides along urban streets are "intended to be a celebration, not an opportunity to cause trouble.
"Those who want to try to tie up traffic as much as possible and be confrontational with motorists are missing the point," the Web site states. "We can assert our right to the road without being rude about it. Focus on the ride, not on the cars that also happen to be on the road."

Understanding the setting
Planned Parenthood presentation was run appropriately
On Nov. 20, the College Democrats brought a Planned Parenthood representative to UB for an information session. The event was open to the public and would include a presentation on the organization's local chapters and its services. Never was the event advertized as an open discussion; it was a speaker event organized by a Student Association club.
When members of Students for Life, an anti-abortion club, showed up to the event, they were acting well within their rights to be there. And the College Democrats were also acting well within their rights by ascribing a set of rules and regulations that attendees would have to comply with to attend the lecture.
That stipulation, however, is something that Students for Life members either don't understand or are unwilling to accept because they would rather inflame a reaction in order to direct attention toward themselves. Their response has been to voice claims that are built on a specious storyline.
They say that the event was "censored" and was a blatant breach of the very values the club maintains it promotes. They take issue with how Quinne Sember, president of College Democrats, enforced a series of rules for the presentation, and that she specifically selected the questions that were addressed, leaving no room for dissenting opinions.
In a letter to the editor submitted to The Spectrum by Students for Life member Anne Mulrooney, she wrote, "Besides being a violation of the attending students' civil liberties, these offenses were shockingly undemocratic ... The forbidding and censorship of honest questions is the prerogative of dictatorship, not democracy."
This narrative ignores several realities important in assessing this situation. Requiring that attendees follow a set of rules at a speaker event is certainly no violation of students' "civil liberties." In the Distinguished Speakers Series that the university runs - which hosted Hillary Clinton in October - they organize the event, set rules and determine which questions to ask. As an event that the university organizes, they are entitled to run it however they see fit.
Wednesday's speaking event hosted by the College Democrats is no different. When an SA club brings a representative of a non-profit, private organization on campus to inform community members of its services, the club is under no obligation to respect the requests made by non-members. It is non-members' choice of whether they want to attend to event, and if they choose to do so, that choice entails compliance with the rules that have been put in place.
And Students for Life members are confused if they are comparing an SA club to either a dictatorship or democracy. It is this type of jargon that exposes the delusions of grandeur embedded into the narrative that Students for Life has tried to propagate.
Mulrooney indicated that the College Democrats' refusal to allow her group's questions to be addressed is an evasion of the tough issues that Sember's club chooses to ignore.
"I wanted to know how abortion could make up only 3 percent of Planned Parenthood's services while earning them over $150 million in revenue (according to their own publicized statistics)," Mulrooney wrote.
The dubious insinuation that those findings don't add up was certainly not in line with the event's intention of allowing attendees the opportunity to learn about Planned Parenthood's services outside of abortion, as that is only one of the many services it provides. It should also be noted that the statistic of abortions representing 3 percent of the organization's total services (and roughly 10 percent of its clients receiving abortion treatment) is supported by the Annenburg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania and various other bipartisan think tanks.
But this allegation also demonstrates Students for Life members' desire to change the subject of the information session in order to address their political concerns, when the intention of the event was to address practical concerns regarding care available at Planned Parenthood's local health centers.
Sember's action of enforcing a set of rules was recommended by both University Police (UPD) and Student Life - as the university has a history of abortion-issue-related events escalating. Wednesday's event ran the risk of being another inflammatory episode on campus.
Sember ran an event in collaboration with UPD and Student Life and violated no one's civil liberties. Mulrooney's account of saying "no one could freely distribute any kind of literature" is simply untrue. People were allowed to do whatever they wanted outside the room - distribute literature, hold signs, take pictures, etc.
At the time of the event, the room 250 SU was registered to the College Democrats. This was not a public forum and was not a governmental proceeding - so whether the event was run "democratically" is completely irrelevant.
And the notion that this event indicates that College Democrats are not open to debate and discussion is misleading - as this was clearly a speaker event and not an open forum. The club, just like the College Republicans, holds a weekly meeting that is discussion-based and open to everyone with any sort of opinion.
If members of Students for Life are so concerned with facilitating an environment conducive to healthy discussion on public policy matters, they should start to recognize what and where are the appropriate outlets to do so.

Kelly Brook SHows Off The Lovely Legs
I'm beginning to think that my internet love affair with Kelly Brook has been a little one sided. I post pictures of her and write mildly humorous comments about our genitals meeting sometime and all she does is completely ignore every attempt I make to contact her. What a rip off. Romance is a two way street my dear. I think it's about time I get something in return other than an awkward semi erection at the office. These pictures are a good start, but I need something with a little more feeling… Like a shot holding a can of tuna sent directly to me on Twitter. That's all.

text: There is this constant search on the part of the photographic artist to make that perfect print. Behind the scenes there is a whole life to creating a print that most laymen still as of yet are unaware. For the photographer there are so many variables into making that perfect print. There is the camera, lenses, lighting, editing software, printer, ink, paper and so much more. All of these factors meld to help the photographic print maker create that perfect print. At the heart of this creation is the complexity inherent in producing just one image. So many different variables go into printing. Ink needs replacing. Nozzle heads need cleaning and alignment. Followed by ICC profiles creation. Paper curves need to be made. Followed shortly by sharpening for print needs to be done, curves need to be put in, color corrections need adjusting, the right DPI needs to be set. The size of the print needs to be made. This all just before sending to the printer, setting the correct color management, selecting the right ICC profile, making sure you have it on the right printing mode then only finally can a print be sent to printer in hopes nothing goes wrong.Yet, with so much effort going into just one print why is it remiss to see that much discipline go into the greening up of the printing process? What is so hard about trying to create a single part of a business into something that is both brilliantly beautiful and also sustainable at the same time? The bottom line is exactly that the bottom line. Money is the hinderances against a revitalization of the print making process. At this time of high technology there is a great call to the individual to green up and strive for a more sustainable practice in daily life. Then why hasn't this revitalization not visited the photographic community as widespread? There has been a burst in the technology used for digital cameras, a leap in the processes used to edit prints. Yet, all these things have also risen in price. Sustainability is at a premium, yet there is a surprise to going green, it is not as pricey as some people think it is. What are the advantages to going green in business practice. First are the tax benefits. In 2009 there were various different tax benefits to going green or starting green for a business. Places such as the Green Business Bureau have stated that "[t]he 2009 stimulus plan has underscored the government's commitment to going green with hefty tax incentives.The use of electric vehicles, renewable energy and many other green programs are rewarded with healthy tax credits. " Second, In many areas there is increased revenue just from customer support for going green. Many individuals support a company more for their green initiatives. Yet more specifically what are the benefits for photographers going green? As mentioned above the tax benefits for going green are quite extensive. In creating a green studio there are tax benefits to retrofitting already existing buildings in a green manner. Another benefit is buying local means less in shipping costs and then therefore means spending less in the long run. Sustainability is exactly that buying things, materials in a sustainable manner both environmentally and economically. Art revolves around change and adaptability both monetarily and physically. The complexity in the system is inherent and yet to be able to work with these sinuous entanglements makes a company even more malleable. Technology changes and advances, and as time progresses a company grows even more complex. The greening of a business, even a photography business, does not need to be a daunting task but one that can be seen as a boon for the business owner, the community and the Earth as a whole. Grasping at the problems instead of focusing on these difficulties should be the photographers task. Through better, greener and more efficient means a perfect picture for a better tomorrow can be created.

I just got my pearl yesterday and I can tell everyone it is fantastic. I was never really a Sony fan buy my new Pearl blew me away.
Sony Pearl on Screen
That might be the camera, or a combination of the characteristics of the camera and projector. We won't know until we actually test the projector (a reviedw sample has been promised). As I said, screen shots are interesting, but dicey.
At a street price well under $5,000 the Sony "Pearl" is the best projector, bar none, in it's class, and rivals many costing 3 times more. With lush vibrant colors, deep blacks, a contrast ratio of 15,000:1 via its Dynamic Iris, and a native resolution of 1080p, the picture is stunning and the depth of field is very three dimensional. Remote adjustable verticle shift, focus, and zoom, 2 HDMI inputs, super quiet fan at 22db, and a beautiful luminescent "low profile" case lead the extras this beauty has to offer. I exchanged my CRT projector for the Pearl which should speak volumes as to the picture quality. It's truly a WOW!

In addition to being a lethal enemy of trees, paper is the enemy of businesses' productivity, according to Adobe. Adobe's new Acrobat XI Pro PDF software aims to do both parties a favour by making it easier to work without using paper. Of course, the trees are probably all for this, but Adobe's implementation of a paperless workflow may not make it easy enough for businesses to change their ways. See all: Business productivity software reviews.
Acrobat XI Pro's default interface looks much the same as it did in the previous version, though now you can create and save custom tool sets, export them, and distribute them across an enterprise. You can download custom tool sets that others have created, too.
While the Pro version, which contains all program features, is available for both Mac and Windows, the Standard version which lacks certain high-end features, is available for Windows only.
Adobe Acrobat XI Pro: Please eSign here
The ability to sign documents digitally isn't new, but now you can request, receive, and manage digital signatures using Adobe's recently acquired EchoSign website. Create your document in Acrobat XI Pro, then click the Sign button and then Send for Signature. Acrobat XI Pro uploads the document to EchoSign.com and then directs you to complete the transaction there.
You can send up to five documents a month with a free EchoSign account, or you can opt for account types that allow greater numbers of users and additional features - for example, corporate branding on all of your emails. Costs range from just a few pounds a month right up to a few hundred pounds.
If you're already logged in to EchoSign, you simply enter your recipient's email address, select a couple of options (email it back to you or fax it back to you), and click Send. Now the tracking, and the clock, begins: The website sends the document to your recipient and an email to you reporting that it has been sent, and then it sends you an email when the recipient either signs or refuses the document. Recipients do not need to have EchoSign accounts; they just have to click the link in the email sent by the system. You can see when documents were sent and the average time it took to receive them back.
The email that the system sends contains a general link and a link for mobile device users. Unfortunately, the link for mobile devices took me to a webpage with an image of my document that had been compressed so much that I couldn't read any body text, either on my Android-powered smartphone or on my Google Nexus 7 Android tablet. The page also contained links that allowed me to download the original PDF, and the PDF was quite readable in the mobile version of Acrobat Reader, but I could not sign my documents there; I had to return to the webpage to sign the document. You can digitally sign and forward documents in Adobe's EchoSign mobile app, but it is available only for iOS, not Android.
Furthermore, you don't need Acrobat XI Pro to use EchoSign. You can upload documents created with Microsoft Word, older versions of Acrobat, or other applications to EchoSign's website. The integration of the Acrobat XI Pro and EchoSign adds only minimal convenience; you can't send something out for signature directly from Acrobat XI Pro.
Acrobat XI Pro: Form a line here
For enhancing Acrobat's forms creation, Adobe took a different approach. Acrobat XI Pro comes bundled with FormsCentral, a separate desktop application that interacts with Adobe's FormsCentral.com website. FormsCentral.com isn't new, but its integration with Acrobat XI Pro--or rather, its integration with the FormsCentral application--is. Acrobat has long had stellar forms creation capabilities, but they were only for forms within PDFs; now with FormsCentral, you can create sophisticated, trackable Web-based forms.
You can create forms the old-fashioned way--staying in Acrobat XI Pro--but Adobe steers you toward FormsCentral. You can choose from 50 pre-formatted form templates, or you can build one from existing content or from scratch. You can customize any of these templates, of course, and save it as your own for future use, and when you're done, you can publish it either as a PDF or as a Web-based form.
Previous versions of Acrobat allowed you to create forms that would interact with Acrobat.com to gather and tabulate form responses, but the forms could only be PDFs. With a Web form, you can link to your form on FormsCentral.com, or you can embed it on your own webpage or on a Facebook page. You can connect a PayPal account so that you accept payments, too.
But the most interesting part of FormsCentral is the data you get back. You can sort and filter submission results, add basic Excel-like functions (like Sum, Average, Count, Min and Max), and see a quick summary report complete with bar charts. You can export submissions data in Excel or .csv format so that you can import it into a CRM program or another application. You can make fields required, as I would expect, and require that input fields are text, numbers, currency, percents, dates, or email addresses, but unless you use drop-down menus, you cannot force formatting (such as dashes instead of parentheses in phone numbers), which means you may need to do some data cleanup before you import it into a database.
There are other ways to produce and manage Web-based forms, but most if not all come at a price. Some website content management system modules offer it, and some Web services--for example, Jotform--offer it, too.
But as with EchoSign, you don't need Acrobat XI Pro to use FormsCentral. For that matter, you don't need the FormsCentral application either, because the FormsCentral website looks and functions exactly like the app.
Acrobat XI Pro: Editing PDFs
I admit that I often use Acrobat's rudimentary editing capabilities to modify a PDF rather than digging up the original document I used to create it. But Acrobat XI Pro allows much greater editing capability, so that you may not need to go back to those original documents, even for significant edits.
In addition to editing text in a line, as you could before, now, you can add, move, and resize text blocks and images, and you can change fonts attributes. Acrobat XI Pro does not have all of InDesign's precise text adjustments, but it does have vertical and horizontal line spacing and basic character spacing. You can find and replace text (but the application will not let you replace all instances in one swoop; you must click Replace as often as necessary).
On documents I created from Word, paragraphs stayed together, but on a document that had been created with Adobe InDesign, many of the lines of the document were seen as separate elements in Acrobat XI Pro, so to rearrange the page, I had to move and resize each line. Furthermore, if you move an image or text block to a spot where another element resides, the element won't move; they will overlap. Acrobat XI Pro does have an Arrange command to bring elements forward or send them backward, but it has no wrapping capabilities, so you must then resize or move the text so that it doesn't obscure the image. Acrobat XI Pro provides no tracking capabilities for the new editing features.
A new Action Wizard helps you create standardized groups of settings. You can use these settings for many different settings in Acrobat, including security; save the action to the Acrobat XI Pro's right-side toolbar, and then every time you click the button, the application steps you through the required settings. You can export the actions and distribute them organization-wide.
Acrobat XI Pro's merging capabilities have been enhanced, too. Now, not only can you see a preview of most documents, you can rearrange them around in a scalable icon view, see what every page of each document looks like, and you can set which pages of a document are included in the final exported file. You can also now transform PDFs into editable Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.

Derry planners ask developer to get Windham on board
For a number of years, the developers have been looking at ways to access the Derry lot and tie it into the Windham subdivision.
The latest plan has been to bring a road from Windham into the Derry property and build a cul-de-sac in front of the projected Derry lots. About half of that cul-de-sac would be in Windham and the other half in Derry.
At a recent Planning Board hearing on the cul-de-sac, Maynard said the Windham Public Works Department had agreed to plow the Derry portion of the roadway in the winter.
"It would make no practical sense to appropriate money and coordinate with Windham for a small piece of pavement," said Mark L'Heureux, engineering coordinator of the Public Works Department.
