A carefully conceived estate plan can be one of the most important gifts you give to yourself and your loved ones. Under current law, the estate tax exemption is scheduled to drop significantly from $5.12 million to $1 million in 2013; and the tax rate jumps from 35 to 55 percent. The upcoming election makes it difficult to predict if congress will make any changes to the exemption; but know that doing nothing might create significant personal issues and tax consequences for your family that can be avoided with simple planning. Over the next few days, we'll discuss some estate planning basics to keep in mind as you prepare.

Skip to comments.Casey Anthony's Legal Team: We're Taking on the Judge She Should NOT Be On Probation
Posted on 08/15/2011 9:35:22 PM PDT by Kevin in California
Casey Anthony's legal team tells TMZ they will fight the judge who just rejected their claim that Casey served her probation for check fraud while she sat in jail during her murder trial ... and if they lose Casey will have to return to Florida in 11 days.
So sorry I clicked on the photos to see those two livin' it up. Cindy should be sitting in jail for perjury and yet there she is: abusing a dolphin by kissing it. Poor, poor dolphin.
I still feel at the bottom of this ugly story is the twisted Cindy.
I agree. Probabtion instead of a death penalty like she deseves is a piece of cake. She is just afraid someone might locate her and duct tape hr face ( which IMHO she also deserves)
" I think the prosecution could have done a better job of presenting the evidence."
Did you watch the trial from start to finish? I don't think so, and if you didn't then your comments, like other shoot from the hip know nothings: Hannity, Levin, Whorealdo etc., are an undeserved insult to a very hard working da team. Overwhelming evidence of guilt.
"To: Protect the Bill of Rights
The so-called junk science was never used by the prosecution. It was brought in by the greasy defense attorney and his hillbilly partner during the summation."
Jurors sittin thinkin bout anythin cept the case right there
Drinkin Kool Aid from a Mason jar
Chug a lug chug a lug
Makes ya wanna shake these fools
Go an talk to their old teachers at their schools
For drinkin Kool Aid from a Mason jar
Chug a lug chug a lug
Some really bad precedents are being set by this verdict. If you think prosecutors around the country werent paying attention to this case you are wrong. At this point if there is no DNA then the jury trial will have a high probability of failure. We live in a dangerous dumbed down era.
Shoot from the hip know nothing?? You read my comments on the live threads before you called ME a shoot from the hip know nothing (ie stoooopid)??? I doubt it.
I would say pot meet kettle, but I went back and reread my comments. I stand by them.
Blaming it all on an ignorant, "waiting for payday" jury while calling those who disagree stupid is about as narrow minded as one can be.
It was a combination of factors. I did not like the verdict. I do not want it happen again. I would rather look at what could have been done differently than to simply dump the blame in the laps of the jury. But that's just stooooopid me.
FOX reports Dr. Phil has scored the first interview with Cindy and George. Money is involved in some way, but not to Cindy and George. It is to go a foundation. (wink wink nod nod).
Cindy is a ball buster. An interview LE had with George was very telling. He talks about how "strong" Cindy is and how people think he is henpecked. He goes on to say he likes strong women and would not have it any other way (paraphrased).
He says in one of his letters to Casey that he wanted "both of my strong women" home.
I have no sympathy/empathy for any of them.
They are a classic - and I mean Freudian CLASSIC - sado- masochistic couple. (In other words, she's a ballbuster and he gets his jollies getting kicked around.)
I don't know why Cindy creeps me out as much as she does. I don't think she was in any way involved with the little girl's death but I think she knows a lot more than she's telling. George is just not very bright.
And do they EVER get tired of the limelight? I don't remember OJ's family hogging the spotlight like these two.
"But that's just stooooopid me. "
The question was simple: Did you watch the WHOLE trial?
The non-response means that you did not.
"I do not want it happen again." None of us "want it happen again."
Part of what I don't "want it happen again" is for observers that did not watch the whole trial to shoot from the hip regarding the strength of the evidence.
Why should I answer? I am a know nothing. :) Yes I watched the trial. Not every second or minute, mind you. Real life tends to get in the way at times. I managed to catch up on what I missed.
Part of what I dont want it happen again is for observers that did not watch the whole trial to shoot from the hip regarding the strength of the evidence.
Say that the next time someone such as Casey Anthony walks away as free as a bird. I am not questioning the strength of the evidence. It could have been presented differently. Would it have changed the verdict? Don't know.
From his book, "In Contempt:"
THE CASE HAD ALREADY BEEN MOVING ALONG slowly, toward trial, without me, and by the time I joined the prosecution, the first twelve jurors had already been selected. While I was assessing the strength of the case, I also decided to take a look at the jury. We were still choosing the alternates, but as soon as I saw the first-teamers, I could tell it was one of the worst juries--from a prosecutor's standpoint--that I'd ever seen. And I'm not talking about race. These were simply not happy-looking, motivated, or successful people. From the first day, I sensed that many of them were angry at the system for various insults and injuries--twelve people lined up at the grinder with big axes.
"They were the best of the lot," Bill said, rubbing his close-cropped beard. "If you think they're bad, you ought to see the ones who were coming up."
"Jury of peers" ought to actually mean something, rather than trial by jury. Unfortunately, there are probably no interests who would support a rule such as a basic logic and reasoning test, and plenty of money with the trial lawyers association that would oppose it. They live to get stubborn morons on their juries.

And sometimes snow flakes out around here
The lack of snowpack in the mountains reminds us that every so often we get a dry winter.
We watched more closely back when a local board ran the Mission Ridge ski area. Our first year, 1966, was bad but not disastrous; then came 1976 and not a wheel turned, convincing the board to put in snowmaking.

Nashville offers big-city amenities with a small-town sense of community, where it's common to stop by your local coffee shop and run into fellow teachers, alumni, students, and parents. This sense of community fuels our corps members within their schools and at home in their neighborhoods. Corps members fall in love with the many options for entertainment and enjoyment of the outdoors that are nearby.
Nashville corps members teach in 70 public and charter schools in the city and surrounding communities, and more than 80 percent teach with another corps member or alumnus. In the region's diverse school system, corps members teach students from more than 80 countries, who speak more than 70 languages.
In order to be qualified to teach, Greater Nashville corps members must complete the following requirements:
These courses are specifically designed by Lipscomb University, in collaboration with Teach For America, to meet the needs of corps members.
After taking an additional two courses, corps members can become fully licensed and have the option to earn a master's of education by completing further coursework.
Lipscomb University
From Motown Monday at The 5 Spot to the annual Tomato Arts Festival, East Nashville is a quirky and charming community nestled beside the Cumberland River. A recent flock of artists, musicians, and young families to the area has led to an influx of new places to live, shop, eat and play. The one thing that hasn't changed in East Nashville is the strong sense of community. Home to three school clusters where Teach For America corps members and alumni make an impact, the East Nashville community is committed to education and innovation.
Former mayor Karl Dean's political leadership has set the stage for change in Nashville's educational landscape. Soon after his election in 2007, the mayor declared that improving Nashville's schools would be his number one focus.
One of his first steps was to partner with Teach For America, raising the necessary community funding to launch and sustain the organization in Nashville. He also attracted The New Teacher Project to the region. Combined, about 250 teachers recruited by Teach for America and The New Teacher Project now work in Metro Nashville schools.
Mayor Dean created M-SAC as a partnership between Metro Schools, Metro Police, and Juvenile Court to provide early intervention for students with multiple absences, leading to a 17.2 percent drop in high school truancy. He also created the Nashville Afterschool Zone Alliance to coordinate a system of free and accessible afterschool programs, which more than doubled the number of middle school students participating in structured after school programs. In March 2012, Mayor Dean opened enrollment for the inaugural class of the Scholars Academy, a free four-week intensive academic summer program to help Metro School students prepare for success in high school and eventually college. The program, which also includes year-round support for the scholars and their parents, is part of Dean's push to double the number of Metro Nashville Public School students who attend college and receive a post-secondary degree.
Given the energy among political leaders about these initiatives, Teach For America corps members and alumni are part of an exciting effort to bring lasting change for the kids of Greater Nashville.

BOYERTOWN, Pa. -- More than 1,000 visitors came through Martin Moto the weekend of March 1 for the fourth annual Modern Classics motorcycle show.
The show featured 100 motorcycles, representing more than 30 manufacturers, primarily from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Conditions ranged from museum quality restorations, mild customs, competition machines and even a handful unrestored pioneer bikes. This year's featured class was motorcycles with two stroke engines.
The oldest bike in the show came from England and was an original Scott Flying Squirrel, a two cylinder, water cooled two stroke bike from 1936.
The Modern Classics is a "by invitation only" show and does not feature judging. Rather, attendees are asked to vote for their people's choice in two categories, the featured two-stroke class as well as the other classics from the era.
The Classics winner, presented by Arai Helmets, was a Norvin Custom shown by David Tompkins of Classic Cycles, Ltd. of Baptistown, N.J. The bike is the marriage of a Norton Featherbed frame with a Vincent V-twin engine.
The Two-Stroke winner, presented by PowerSeal USA, was a 1974 Kawasaki 500 Mach III shown by Franco Steffanatto of West Chester, Pa. The bike was presented in original stock condition.
A third award was given out, the Exhibitors' Choice, for the bike that best represents the entire 1960s to 80s era considering condition, rarity, craftsmanship, and historical significance as voted by the owners of the 100 bikes on display.
The inaugural Exhibitors' Choice award, presented by the Grisafi Insurance Agency, went to a 1978 Moto Morini 3 1/2 shown by Keith Turner of Bethlehem, Pa. The bike, which was runner-up in the Classic category, was a daily rider for Turner that has since been lightly customized.
The fifth annual show is scheduled for March 7, 2015.

GOP Critics Raise Glasses for Obama
Even some of President Barack Obama's most bitter critics raised a glass in his honor Monday as congressional leaders hosted the First Family for its quadrennial post-Inauguration lunch.
The toast–offered by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.)–capped a two-hour meal that saw partisan combatants gloss over years of nasty skirmishes to mark Mr. Obama's formal swearing in for a second term.
House Speaker John Boehner, who sat at the main table next to First Lady Michelle Obama, reminded the roomful of congressional leaders and administration officials that the Inauguration ritual is a time to "renew the appeal to better angels." Weeks earlier, the speaker and Mr. Obama abandoned talks to broker a bipartisan, deficit-reduction deal.
But national unity was the theme of the day on Monday, and Republican congressional leaders gavethe president and Vice President Joe Biden gifts in a bid to prove it. Mr. Boehner presented the president and Mr. Biden with American flags, Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.) gave the pair framed photos of their swearing-in on the West Front of the Capitol and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) presented the Obamas and Bidens with hand-cut crystal vases depicting the White House and Capitol, respectively.
The lunch followed the president's Inaugural address earlier in the day, which highlighted the commonality and shared history of the American people while touching on legislative ambitions sure to rankle Republicans, including new rules for immigration, gun control and the environment.
In thanking his congressional hosts, Mr. Obama acknowledged the pitfalls of their shared profession: "I recognize democracy is not always easy," he said. "I recognize there are profound differences in this room." But he sounded a bipartisan theme in telling the room, "I'm confident we can act at this moment in a way that makes a difference for our children."
Mr. Biden, a longtime senator who noted his regular participation in these lunches before joining the president, said, "It's always a new beginning every time we're in this room."
The question now is how long it will take both parties to resume their old ways.

Taylor Swift recently hung out with Olympian ice skater Gracie Gold. We like their stank faces on the left the best of all.
Of course Taylor Swift befriended Victoria's Secret Angels when she performed at their annual runway show!
Is there anything cuter than Taylor Swift and Hailee Steinfeld decorating Christmas trees and making cookies together?
Taylor is a bit of an Anglophile, so naturally she'd be pals with pop singer Ellie Goulding.
Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have collaborated on a song, a tour, and on adorable Instagram pics.

The 1920s
Warren G. Harding in The 1920s
Warren G. Harding (1865-1923) was the 29th President of the United States. A personable, conservative senator from Ohio, Harding won the presidential election of 1920 in a landslide by promising a "return to normalcy" after World War I.
Harding's administration ended up plagued by corruption scandals, as many of the President's cronies used their high positions in government for illegal personal gain. Harding died of a heart attack less than three years into his term, before the worst revelations of corruption in his administration were revealed to the public. In retrospect, many historians rank Harding among the very worst presidents of all time.

This Is Why I Speak
This guest post is by Autism Speaks staffer Kerry Magro. Kerry, an adult who has autism, is a graduate student at Seton Hall University, and is actively involved with our college program. Autism Speaks U is an initiative designed to support college students in their awareness, advocacy and fundraising efforts.
"My 5 year old son was just diagnosed with PDD-NOS and has no speech. Will he ever be able to speak?"
While the young mother stood before me in tears, I felt trapped; trapped because I couldn't tell her that everything was going to be alright.
When I look back at my life, that 6 year old boy, going into first grade with so much anger, and so many emotions, it was almost too much. I knew back then I was mad. I was lashing out because I didn't know how to communicate in an appropriate manner. That was almost 16 years ago. I was that 6 year old again. What would it take for her son to be able to speak one day? Would he be as lucky as me?
So, I surprised myself. I hugged her. I hugged this complete stranger for what probably ended up being 5 minutes. No words were said. I could only hear her sobbing and I almost joined her several times. I knew I couldn't answer her question, but by telling her about my journey, I could give her hope.
I reflected back to the journey that I had had led me to where I am today. The therapies, the special need classrooms, the accommodations, the hate, the ignorance, the awareness, the drama, the acceptance, the struggle, the tears, the heartache, the strength, the friends, my mom, my dad, and above all else the love that has made my journey worth every second.After we hugged I told her my story. I told her about that 6 year old boy and how he became who I was today. 15 minutes later tears of uncertainty had become tears of hope for not only her but for her son.
This is why I speak. Each time I share my story I pray that I'm making an impact on a parent, a family, a friend, etc. for the future of the autism movement. I may not be a scientist, or an expert in the field, I just know what it's like to grow up–and thrive with autism. So, if you have autism, especially those young adults out there who are trying to spread awareness at the college level or beyond, tell your story.
It's time for all of us to listen.
*I shared this story with my friend Laura Shumaker on her official website here as well. Thanks Everyone!*

11 Questions Students on the Spectrum Can Ask their College
This guest post is by Autism Speaks staffer Kerry Magro. Kerry, an adult who has autism, is a graduate student at Seton Hall University, and is actively involved with our college program. Autism Speaks U is an initiative designed to support college students in their awareness, advocacy and fundraising efforts.
Below are 11 questions students on the autism spectrum can ask their college/university.
1. As a college student affected by autism, what is one of the main things I need to know?
A big difference between college and high school is that in high school you generally have a structured plan for your accommodations called an "Individualized Education Program." However, in college that no longer exists, meaning you must advocate to your Disability Support Group on campus to receive your own accommodations
2. What are some accommodations I can receive in my classes?
Individuals on the spectrum receive accommodations only if they register with their Disability Support Group. They will then receive accommodations based on their needs. This can include extended time on tests, tape recorders for classes, individual note takers, etc.
3. Do I have to pay for accommodations?
Under The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, colleges are required to provide all learning disabled individuals with "reasonable accommodations." However, you should check the guidelines in regards to what is and what is not available on your campus.
4. Will faculty or fellow students be informed that I am on the autism spectrum?
Faculty members are not allowed to disclose any information about a student to others without consent from the student. However, students must register as a "disabled student" to receive accommodations – meaning your disability support group would be aware you have a disability. It is then up to you to inform your instructors.
5. Is on-campus living for me?
Accommodations can also factor into your living arrangements on campus which will give you opportunities for a safer environment, like a single room. Ask if your resident assistant will be made aware of your living situation, since he/she can be of help in an emergency.
6. Will tutoring be available for my courses?
Most colleges provide tutoring for all students, but it is important to learn about those services early on to see if it is available and if you need additional support.
7. Are there any restrictions on how many courses I can take?
Some disability support groups require you take less courses in your first few semesters of college to make for an easier transition.
8. Is there a club on campus that raises awareness about autism and provides social opportunities for students affected by autism?
Autism Speaks college program, Autism Speaks U, works with students across the county to start chapters that raise awareness and funds. Some also establish mentoring programs for students and youth on the autism spectrum. To see if a chapter exists on your campus, visit www.AutismSpeaks.org/U.
9. Will my professors have any previous training in educating individuals affected by autism?
There is no requirement at most college for professors to have education in teaching individuals with learning disabilities. You should be prepared to advocate for yourself when a situation deems itself appropriate to do so.
10. Will I be treated differently by fellow students because I have autism?
Like in any other situation where you are around people, there is the possibility of a lack of awareness on their part in dealing with people with learning disabilities. Therefore, spreading awareness is crucial for you and others affected by autism.
11. Is there anything on campus that focuses on post-college plans for individuals affected by autism?
Many colleges have a career program/center that focuses on helping you network with outside companies. You can also look under the Americans with Disabilities Act for information about job accommodations and workshops.

Autism Speaks U Spotlight: Virginia Tech Chapter President
This guest post is by Kaitlyn Whiton, a senior at Virginia Tech. She is the president of her school's Autism Speaks U chapter and is working to create a long lasting legacy on campus! Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students who host awareness, advocacy and fundraising events, while supporting their local autism communities.
Autism was a word that most people had never heard of 20 years ago, when my younger brother, Freddy, was diagnosed. I cannot count how many times my friends would ask me why Freddy would hit himself, not talk to anyone, or only repeat the same lines from the same movies. By the age of 10, autism had already had a huge impact on my life and I knew I wanted to continue to help others, like my brother, grow to their fullest potential. Starting a chapter of Autism Speaks U at Virginia Tech was a perfect opportunity to not only give back, but also inspire others to be involved with a wonderful organization.
Even though this is only Autism Speaks U Virginia Tech's second semester on Hokie stomping ground, we have already made an impact in our community. Last semester we raffled off a football signed by coach, Frank Beamer and a basketball signed by coach, Seth Greenberg. This semester, our big fundraising event is going to be an awareness night at Hokie House, a local restaurant and bar, on Friday, November 4. During the event we are going to be raffling off themed baskets as an extra way to raise money.
Autism Speaks U Virginia Tech, unfortunately has a number of seniors who will be graduating in the spring. Luckily, we have found motivating and inspiring individuals who will continue the mission of Autism Speaks U in the Virginia Tech community. Our old executive board will help train the new executive board throughout the rest of the current semester and will be here to advise the new officers during the spring semester.
My dream would be to come back to Virginia Tech and attend a fundraiser executed by our predecessors. My goal this year is to inspire, motivate and educate the newest members of the executive board so that our organization continues for many years to come.

Autism Speaks U Spotlight: Cornell University Chapter President
This guest post is by Cynthia Vella, a junior at Cornell University. She is an Industrial and Labor Relations major as well as the founder and president of her school's Autism Speaks U chapter! Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students who host awareness, advocacy and fundraising events, while supporting their local autism communities.
As President and Founder of Autism Speaks U at Cornell University, I feel strongly attached to the goals and values of our newly established club. With an uncle who is autistic, I have heard the struggles my mother and her family went through years ago.
Because of this, I decided Cornell needed to spread awareness about autism to it's own students. Gathering a few friends and meeting two more great board members along the way, the Autism Speaks U Cornell board has really come together to raise money and especially awareness around campus. Our university organizations have even reached out to help us promote our cause through various student organizations like Greek sororities, fraternities and Hillel. In our second semester on campus, we have expanded our club's initiatives and are planning a Dance-a-Thon called Dance Now for Autism Speaks U, which we hope will have a huge impact on Cornell.
While last semester was extremely successful, from earning funds through bake sales and through Greek life and Hillel events, this semester, the Autism Speaks U Cornell board has much planned to increase our presence on campus. While bake sales are always easy and fun fundraisers, we plan on holding our first annual Dance-a-Thon on October 22nd in one of our basketball courts with pre-sale tickets, refreshments, cookies, blue decorations, and giveaway t-shirts.
We are currently marketing the event around both the campus and Ithaca community through our school newspaper, media site, flyers and posters. We are also tabling at local dining halls and main libraries where there is a large traffic of students and faculty passing through. We want to reach out to different clubs such as A Cappella and dance groups.
Additionally, one of our board members, Conor Callahan, has teamed up with the Racker Center located in nearby Ithaca for our members to interact with local children affected by autism. We are excited to have this opportunity and plan to start doing smaller events like slumber parties in the spring semester. As our club continues expanding with almost 30 new members this fall, we have more and more great ideas to make the club more successful in our endeavors. New leaders stand out and our board welcomes more students to help raise funds and awareness. We are extremely excited to collaborate with our new members to make a difference in our community.

Autism Speaks U Spotlight: UC Berkeley Chapter President
This guest post is by Caroline McCloskey, a sophomore at UC Berkeley. She is the president and founder of her school's Autism Speaks U chapter and is a true ambassador for our cause! Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students who host awareness, advocacy and fundraising events, while supporting their local autism communities.
Helping those with autism has always held a place in my heart. My older brother Joey was diagnosed with autism at a very young age, and has always been my big "little brother." Joey has a considerably severe case of autism and is often misunderstood because he has difficulty communicating with others. He lives in the world of a six-year old and still watches Disney movies (his favorite being Peter Pan), Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh. One of the truly amazing things about my brother is his ability to complete a 500-piece puzzle in twenty minutes – something I would never be able to do. He will never fail to impress me with his unique gift and now that I've gone to college and live 6000 miles away from home, I miss him dearly.
Coming to the University of California, Berkeley was by far the best decision I have ever made. As soon as I got here I knew that I wanted to get involved on campus, so I looked into various student organizations and tried to find one that promoted autism awareness or raised money for scientific research. No such club or organization existed. I thought to myself: of all the hundreds of student organizations that Berkeley has to offer, how is it that not a single one addresses the problem of autism, something that affects 1 in 110 people?
Consequently, some friends and I took the initiative and our chapter of Autism Speaks U at Berkeley was officially founded on March 9th2011. Now we have over 30 active members and have begun to establish a firm presence on campus as of this academic year. The UC Berkeley community has been very supportive of our efforts and during Autism Awareness Month this year we held an awareness campaign and small-scale fundraiser in the Unit 2 Residence Halls. Our biggest achievement so far has been lighting up the Campanile blue on Autism Awareness Day, which we hope to do again in April 2012.
Right now we are in the process of planning a benefit concert to be held on November 19, of this year. We are also trying to establish a mentoring program with the Berkeley Unified School District, where members of our chapter would volunteer with children and young adults on the spectrum. Furthermore, we are in the early phases of planning a large-scale walk event on UC Berkeley's campus, which will be held on April 72012, during Autism Awareness Month.
This year we have a very strong team of officers who are all contributing incredible amounts of time and effort to our cause. It means so much to me that my friends have been so supportive of what I am so passionate about, and I honestly appreciate their help and support more than they will ever know. I know that this year we're going to go far and it's all because of them: thank you, guys.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Bond yields are beginning to rise, which bodes well for earnings of several financials, KBW analysts said in a research note on Friday.
The yield on the 10-year treasury note has risen in the last couple of weeks to past 2.3%. Investors appear to be abandoning safe havens for more risky assets amid better domestic economic data and as expectations for additional monetary stimulus from the Fed declined.
Markets are also beginning to price in an earlier short-term interest rate hike by the Fed. On Friday, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Jeffrey Lacker said that the Fed may have to raise short term rates as soon as 2013 because economic conditions did not warrant keeping rates near zero for an extended period. The Fed has previously indicated that it would keep interest rates near zero until late 2014.

LONG BEACH -- During a remarkable event at which Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared on the same stage with his two potential successors, Democrat Jerry Brown said Tuesday that he would stop running negative TV ads if opponent Meg Whitman does the same.
"No problem," Brown said.
No deal, said Whitman, who trailed by 13 points in the latest Los Angeles Times-University of Southern California poll.
The sharp and often amusing exchange occurred at the annual Women's Conference, sponsored by Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver.
In explaining her position, Whitman said "people need to understand" Brown's record as governor from 1975 to 1983 and as mayor of Oakland.
Whitman, the former eBay CEO, then proceeded to attack that record, saying that Brown "left this state in worse shape."
The remark drew boos from the mostly female audience of several thousand.
Many of the billionaire's ads attacking Brown on those fronts have been criticized by news organizations and the nonpartisan website FactCheck.org as either false or highly misleading.
Brown's ads have generally been more positive, but he has had the advantage of labor groups backing his candidacy that have spent millions to attack Whitman's business record and character.
Whitman and Brown were placed on the hot seat by the forum's moderator, "Today" show host Matt Lauer, who asked them to give Californians "a break" and take a no-attack pledge in the remaining week before Tuesday's election.
Brown first said that, sometimes, negativity is "in the eye of the beholder." However, he eventually said: "I will take down any advertising remotely construed" as a negative attack.
Whitman agreed that there was no place in the campaign for personal attacks, but she seemed to say that what political consultants now euphemistically call "comparison ads" or "issue ads" are just fine.
At one point during the exchange, Lauer suggested Schwarzenegger play the role of "the referee." But the governor didn't seem thrilled with the idea.
Instead, he used the opportunity to praise both Whitman and Brown, noting that Whitman "will make history" if she becomes California's first female governor.
And Brown and his father, Pat Brown, were both good governors, said Schwarzenegger, who has endorsed neither candidate.
Asked by Lauer to rate his own governorship a letter grade of "A" through "F," Schwarzenegger said, to laughs: "I give myself a straight 10."
The forum was the first time Schwarzenegger, Whitman and Brown had appeared on the same stage. From its inception, the meeting was expected to be more than a little awkward.
Whitman has tried to distance herself from Schwarzenegger, saying she respects his ideas but feels he failed to execute them properly. Brown has generally had a cordial relationship with the governor, but last week he unleashed a TV ad that showed Whitman and Schwarzenegger, pictured side by side, spouting the same platitudes.
The conclusion of that ad: Having a political neophyte run the state didn't work the first time.
Removing the negative ads at this point in the campaign would probably hurt Whitman more than Brown, since she has a lot of catching up to do -- and negative ads do work, despite voters' distaste for them.
Brown reaffirmed the pledge shortly after the appearance, saying: "I pledge to pull my negative ads off the air immediately and only run positive ads through Election Day if Meg Whitman agrees to do the same."
Sarah Pompei, a spokeswoman for the Whitman campaign, said the campaign will continue "running fair and truthful ads that highlight Jerry Brown's long record on the issues."
For more than six months, Pompei added, "the Brown campaign and its allies in the public employee unions have been running a negative campaign against Meg Whitman."
Whitman in recent days has been coy about how much more money she intends to spend on her campaign. She has already donated $141.5 million out of her own pocket -- breaking New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's self-funding record of $109.2 million.
Pressed repeatedly by ABC's Diane Sawyer on Monday if she intends to spend more of her own money, Whitman said: "We'll see how it goes."

The state of Vermont is putting out a request for proposals from bus lines interested in using a federal subsidy to connect Rutland to Albany, N.Y., Burlington, and White River Junction.
Barbara Donovan, public transit administrator for the Vermont Agency of Transportation, said the state has about $400,000 a year from the federal government to help with the bus lines.
Donovan told the Rutland Herald the state would hold a conference with would-be bidders on Aug. 12 and that bids are due later that month.
