`
`BODY:
`
`It's tough to keep a successful business going for more than 150 years if you are dispassionate about what you do.
`The people at Hancock Lumber, though, have a passion for the company's product and its business, and that may be a
`key to Hancock's longevity and the positionit enjoys in the marketplace.
`
`Founded in 1848, the Casco, Maine-based family-run company says itis one of the largest producers of Eastern
`White Pine in the United States, as well as the largest independent lumber retailer in the Northeast.
`
`"We treat our products like gold," says Matt DuPrey, vice president and sawmill sales manager. "People know we
`do business the right way, and we see the difference [between Hancock and other sawmills] is that we treat our Eastern
`White Pine products like gold. The more yourefine gold, the better you take care of it, the better product you'll have at
`the end."
`
`Hancock has a passion for the product and the process, DuPrey says. "We feel we provide customers with a board
`that they can be as passionate about as we are." DuPrey adds that Hancock's contact with customers isn't limited to the
`sale of the product. "We're very hands—on with our customers," he says. "We know their business, and what it takes to
`be successful with Eastern White Pine. We spend a fair amount of time with them." He adds that Hancock has an edge
`over other sawmills because, as a company that has been in the hands of the same family for six generations, "we have a
`proven track record."
`
`Hancock Lumber began operations in 1848 as a small logging operation in Casco, Maine. It has grown to the point
`where it now operates three sawmills and 10 retail outlets.
`
`The company's first sawmill went into operation in the 1880s. Withsawmills in Casco, Pittsfield and Bethel, Maine,
`Hancock is the largest producer of Eastern White Pine in the United States. Its "Made inMaine" pine products are
`shipped nationwide.
`
`Hancock Lumber entered the retail business in 1954 with a retail yard in Casco. Today, Hancock Lumber is
`Maine's largest lumberyard, with retail yards and discount stores throughout the state. The companyalso operates a cor-
`porate sales division and a panelization company,Hancock Kitchens and Hancock Windows. The company acquired
`four retail stores in 2004 and will open a new retail location in Bridgton, Maine, in 2006.

`Wood's ‘gold standard‘: Hancock Lumber says it treats its

`Page 67
`
`Eastern White Pine is lightweight, soft, even-textured and easily worked, according to Hancock. It is the least res-
`inous of all pines and "does not swell or shrink greatly with moisture content changes, and displays remarkable durabil-
`ity, as shown by the large number of houses built of Eastern White Pine in New England 200 or more years ago." Be-
`cause of these desirable characteristics, Eastern White pine uses include Inillwork, mouldings, knotty pine paneling,
`siding and boards for boxes, crates, coffins, boats, woodenware and novelties.
`
`"Eastern White Pine is the only type of lumber we manufacture," DuPrey says. "On the sawmill side of the busi-
`ness, Eastern White Pine
`is the product of choice for us."
`
`"In this part of the state," DuPrey says, "Eastern White Pine is the predominant softwood." Hancock's operations
`are based in what is the Eastern White Pine belt of southern Maine. Hancock is the nation'spre-eminent producer of
`Eastern White Pine, DuPrey says. "It's a proven product, and there's not a lot of it, so what we do have is in high de-
`mand."
`
`"In some markets, demand is very high compared to the supply, but usually it's pretty balanced," DuPrey explains.
`Many times, though, demand will be greater than the supply, and "that's why it renders a higher dollar," he adds.
`
`"The forecast for the product is strong," DuPrey says. Of the manyuses for Eastern White Pine, DuPrey says, "it's
`used a lot in log homes. That's a big market we're involved in. We supply the paneling stock for a lot of log homes."
`Another popular application for Eastern White Pine is for packing crates. "They love it for crating," he says, "because
`it's lighter than other woods, so when they're shipping products in Eastern White Pine, [the packed crate] doesn't weigh
`as much."
`
`Stable and Workable
`
`"If you want the Eastern White Pine look," DuPrey explains, "there's only one thing that can give it to you." He
`adds that Hancock's customers are those distributors and brokers "who can see the value of Eastern White Pine and who
`love it as much as we do."
`
`What sets Hancock apart, he asserts, is "the quality of Eastern White Pine and what makes it the gold standard of
`softwoods. We would put our Eastern White Pine board up against any other wood. The quality of it is its character that
`it has over competing products in the United States and worldwide."
`
`Its "stability and workability" are Eastern White Pine's chief attributes, DuPrey says. "It's what we consider the gold
`standard of allpine boards. Our brand is what sets us apart."
`
`From its sawmills, Hancock Lumber sells its product to three groups: wholesale distributors, wholesale brokers and
`buying groups. "There are a lot of endusers who end up getting the wood," such as retailers, he adds.
`
`The expectations that Hancock's customers have "aren't just [of] the product," DuPrey says, "they're of us, too.
`They expect the utmostquality; they demand a consistent, on—grade product; they expect on—time delivery; they expect
`high—quality machining; they expect [the wood] to be dried consistently——they want a dry product--they expect accurate
`paperwork. We try to make it easy for them to buy lumber. A big part of our business is to help them with our product.
`They expectto have some options in packing--how it's packaged--they like us to be flexible, as far as what we can do for
`them with packaging." Perhaps most importantly, though, Hancock's customers "expect us to be honest and conduct
`business with the utmost integrity--that's what people hold Hancock Lumber to."
`
`Company Stewards
`
`In every Hancock lumberyard, sawmill and retail store, there is posted the vision of David Hancock, father of cur-
`rent Hancock Lumber President and CEO Kevin Hancock. The quote reads, "My passion is stewardship. Each of us has
`an obligation to pass on the institutions we care about in better shape than when we assumed stewardship of them.“
`"We pride ourselves on stewardship and our capability to continuously provide our customers with the building so-
`lutions they need," thecompany states.
`
`In an address to a gathering of the Portland Community Chamber in 2004, Kevin Hancock explained just how
`stewardship works. "We are very focused on being profitable--it is the fuel that powers our stewardship," he said. Han-
`cock added, though, that the company "is not in business to make money for the sake of piling it up. That is not a moti-
`vator, for me or for the company." Hancock explained that "I am the temporary caretaker of a tradition that had a life
`before and will have a life after those of us [currently in charge]."

`
`Emphasizing to Employees
`
`Hancock, according to the chamber's newsletter, said the importance of stewardship extends throughout the com-
`pany. Hancock Lumber leadsnew employees through a series of exercises in which they list "all the good and noble
`things they think a quality business should do," Hancock said, such as creating jobs, paying taxes, creating opportunities
`for employee growth, supporting community groups and reinvesting in the economy. "What all those things have in
`common," Hancock told the chamber, "is that they are more possible when we are profitable."
`
`Throughout his address, and questions from the audience, "Hancock emphasized that the stewardship philosophy
`leads to a balanced management of economic and environmental issues, effective approaches to change and great confi-
`dence in the future," the chamber newsletter stated.
`
`‘
`
`Continuous Improvement
`
`Hancock Lumber is "continually looking at our processes," DuPrey says, in order to improve them. "We never want
`to stop improving our mill operations and our product development."
`
`Because Hancock is one of the largest producers of Eastern White Pine, it offers customers product availability that
`its competitors may not have, DuPrey says. Its three sawmills give the company greater flexibility than others, he adds.
`"We're SFI [Sustainable Forestry Initiative] certified" with the logs Hancock buys, DuPrey says. "We're ensuring our
`customers that we're doing business and we're treating the forests in an ecological way." The SFI certification means the
`company must "follow the guidelines of sustainable forest forestry," he adds.
`
`Community involvement is part of Hancock Lumber's corporate mission, and as DuPrey explains, "we're very in-
`volved in the community" in each of the towns where its sawmills and retail stores are located. Whether it's coaching
`youth sports teams or volunteering their time towork at Casco's annual carnival, many Hancock employees give their
`time to community groups and charitable efforts.
`
`The company takes an active part in programs with local schools. The sawmill side of Hancock Lumber runs an
`educational program called "Project Learning Tree." This program involves taking students on tours of Hancock's facili-
`ties, "to have them see what we do, not only because we love what we do, but to teach them about the forestry busi-
`ness," DuPrey says. The company also takes part in career days at localschools and is active in many industry associa-
`tions, he adds.
`
`"The Hancock company is one of the best to work for," DuPrey says."The thing I'm proud of most is this company
`is a manufacturing company that has thrived on people and change. We have never stopped changing," he says. "We
`feel that it's healthy to change. The company is aggressive in never changing its core values and what we believe in,"yet
`its willingness to change and adapt to markets and trends in order to survive has sustained it.
`
`"I'm proud we've been able to make it through all these years and be a thriving company and also be a great place to
`work," DuPrey says, "where it's encouraged to be aggressive and it's encouraged to takesome risks at times.
`
`"[Hancock is] very progressive, proactive and it's a good environment to excel in when you put an effort forth. I'm
`proud of where thiscompany has been and where it's going."

`HEADLINE: Free Software: Good, For Nothing;
`Annoyed about antivirus and security update fees?
`
`BYLINE: Michael J. Steinhart
`
`BODY:
`
`Annoyed about antivirus and security update fees? Leery of laying out hundreds of dollars for programs with fea-
`tures you don't need? We've found some alternatives that don't cost a penny.
`
`Is anything in life really free? Not lunches, or so we've been told. Not "free" vacations that force you to sit through
`a high—pressure sales presentation. And certainly not cell phones, satellite dishes, and cable modems, which are given
`out as loss leaders so service providers can make their money back through subscription fees.
`
`Software is a little different. There are plenty of free utilities, games, and shareware titles you can download and
`use. Typically, these are either nearly full-featured products that introduce you to a company's offerings, or products of
`the open-source movement, which preaches that code should be freely available to everyone.
`
`Freeware does take caveat emptor to a whole new level, though. You're not a buyer, so whatever problems you en-
`counter are often yours, not the developer's. If free software comes with tech support, it's usually through online forums,
`and many freeware apps are plagued with bugs and incompatibilities. But when you find something good, you know
`you've struck gold.
`
`In this story, we take a look at some of the best packages that don't cost a thing. We were impressed with the qual-
`ity and feature sets available in these free apps, which sometimes rival those of their for-pay counterparts. (Some of
`these products are free only for home and noncommercial use.)
`
`The first categories we tackle—antispyware, antivirus, and firewall-deal with security. If you have a PC that's con-
`nected to the Net, even intermittently, you need to protect it. (If this is news to you, put down the magazine, unplug your
`PC, and take up knitting.) The sophistication and number of threats circulating are only increasing, so you need a com-
`prehensive solution.
`
`When you buy security software, you pay for the purchase and then pay a fee for updates, so your security scans
`will catch the latest attacks. We found several free apps, though, that deliver very similar functionality. If your budget is
`limited or you want to learn hands—on about managing security settings and configurations, check out our first three
`sections.
`
`Then we move to photo and graphics applications, some for pros and others for laypeople. The gold standards in
`image editing and graphic design are Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, respectively, but those cost close to $500 apiece.
`We've found three free packages that do a good job of mirroring these high-end apps, and another two photo-
`management titles that help you organize and share your images.
`
`We also include two office suites that do almost everything Microsoft Office does, without its hefty price tag.
`These suites emphasize compatibility with Office file formats, and even provide features that Microsoft's suite lacks,
`like PDF conversion.

`HEADLINE: Nuggets opening on road to rings Denver wants what San Antonio has If there's a
`gold standard in the NBA, it's the reigning champion Spurs. The Nuggets start their season fully
`aware of that.
`
`BYLINE: Adam Thompson Denver Post Staff Writer
`
`BODY:
`
`The best-laid plans can change quickly in an NBA where Phoenix wallows as a lottery team one
`season and leads the league in victories the next.
`
`But as long as injuries don't change circumstances drastically, the Nuggets can bank on one
`thing. If they're going to rise to the top of the Western Conference, they're going to have to go
`through San Antonio to get there.
`
`Before the Nuggets and Spurs tip off the NBA season on national television tonight in San An-
`tonio, the Spurs will receive their third set of championship rings in seven seasons. And they will do
`so with their three cornerstone players still in their 20s.
`
`Get used to seeing Tim Duncan (29) , Manu Ginobili (28) and Tony Parker (23) trying to keep
`the Nuggets from reaching their goals over the next few years. All three are signed through at least
`2009.
`
`"They're the standard for the West, the standard for the league," said Denver forward Kenyon
`Martin, who hopes to be able to play his normal amount of minutes tonight despite offseason knee
`surgery that slowed him during the preseason.
`Nuggets center Marcus Camby was more succinct. "They have awesome players," he said.
`
`Nuggets coach George Karl, who will miss tonight's game and Wednesday's home opener
`against the Los Angeles Lakers to serve a suspension, said he worries about his own team first. But
`he added that it's good to know who the Nuggets have to get past.

`
`"I mean, this is a team that's proven for five to 10 years that they're not going to go away," Karl
`said. "Their organization is strong, their talent pool is strong, their coach is strong, their fan base is
`strong."
`
`Denver made internal and external changes during the offseason with the Spurs specifically in
`mind.
`
`Karl said he likes the Nuggets’ only free-agent acquisition, guard Earl Watson, in part because
`of how he might be able to defend Parker. The Nuggets also have adopted some of San Antonio's
`perimeter defensive principles after getting eliminated in five games in the first round of last sea-
`son's playoffs. Denver shot 11-of—42 - 26.2 percent - from 3-point range in that series.
`
`"San Antonio was a little mentally tougher on every possession than we were," Karl said during
`training camp. He recently added, "They beat us because they have a little more trust, a little more
`belief, a little more togetherness."
`
`Martin looks at his own team and sees the chemistry getting better.
`
`"A team like San Antonio, they've been playing together for years," Martin said. "They have
`that chemistry: '1 know this guy. I know where he's going to be.’ We have that now. That can help a
`lot."
`
`The Spurs seem aware that this may not be a lopsided rivalry much longer. In talking about the
`NBA's best teams, Duncan readily wedged in the Nuggets with Detroit, Miami and Phoenix.
`
`"Denver is going to be one heck of a team," he said of the only team to beat the Spurs twice at
`the SBC Center last season. "They ended with one heck of a roll. We beat them in the first round.
`But no telling what they could have done if they got off to a roll there."
`
`The Nuggets hope to start that roll six months later, instead.
`
`At a players-only dinner Sunday night, Martin told his teammates what he expects of them. He
`reiterated that the Nuggets can't take the early part of the season for granted.
`
`If they do live up to those grandiose plans, they all know who will be waiting for them at the
`end.
`
`Brooks replacing suspended Karl
`
`Nuggets assistant Scott Brooks said he had trouble sleeping Sunday night - but not because he
`will make his regular-season, NBA head-
`
`coaching debut as a sub for Karl this week. He said his young daughter climbed into bed with
`Brooks and his wife.
`
`"She's a kicker," he joked.
`
`As for facing San Antonio's Gregg Popovich tonight and the Lakers' Phil Jackson on Wednes-
`day in Denver, Brooks said: "We have a good team. If we had a bad team, I'd be really stressed out
`right now."

`
`The guard from Argentina who played such a big role in the Spurs’ first-round victory over the
`Nuggets in the playoffs last season is questionable for tonight's opener because of a bruised right
`quadriceps. That couldn't be coach Gregg Popovich playing mind games with the Nuggets‘ Scott
`Brooks, who steps in for the suspended George Karl tonight, could it? Karl said Voshon Lenard
`would draw the first defensive assignment on Ginobili.
`
`NOTEBOOK
`
`NO DEAL FOR NENE: As expected, the deadline for the Nuggets to extend Nene's contract
`passed without a deal Monday. The fourth-year forward now becomes a restricted free agent at sea-
`son's end. "The Nuggets and we made good-faith efforts, but our perception of values is just too far
`apart at this point," said Nene's agent, Michael Coyne. "They want him there, and he wants to be
`there. He's happy with the direction of the team and Coach (George) Karl. He loves the fans and
`facilities and town." Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said he and Coyne spent a "fair
`amount of time" on the phone Monday. But Vandeweghe said that just because they could not reach
`a deal "doesn't mean that we don't like Nene a lot or anything like that. I think the majority of play-
`ers go into their fourth year and become free agents. I'm still optimistic he'll be with us, and he's a
`very valuable player."
`
`FOOTNOTES: The Nuggets will put rookies Julius Hodge and Linas Kleiza, along with injured
`swingman Bryon Russell, on the inactive list for their opener in San Antonio tonight. The New
`York Daily News quoted available small forward George Lynch as saying Denver is one team the
`NBA veteran would consider playing for. But Lynch's agent, Steve Kauffman, said Monday,
`"George is going to get employed relatively soon, but I don't see it being in Denver."

`HEADLINE: The riches of niche databases for merger & acquisition transactions: date range, search flexibility, nations
`of parties involved, and deal value all come in to play in making a database decision.
`
`BYLINE: Affelt, Amy
`
`BODY:
`
`Mergers and acquisitions transaction research often forces information professionals to operate in a world of ex-
`tremes. If you need basic data, there are a myriad of options available for obtaining party names, announcement and
`effective dates, and premiums. A simple news search in a general—purpose online source such as Factiva, LexisNexis, or
`Dialog often uncovers enough information to answer a client's query. However, when questions arise such as, "Is it a
`merger of equals?" or, "Was a white knight involved?," the range of prospective sources becomes more limited. Addi-
`tionally, date range, search flexibility, nations of parties involved, and deal value all come in to play in making a data-
`base decision. If budget is a factor, you should carefully consider the costs, since costs vary widely. If the client is in-
`volved in a litigation situation, provider reliability and name recognition are of great importance.
`THE BIG GUNS
`
`Bloomberg, Thomson SDC, Mergerstat, Global Securities Information, Capital IQ, and Dealogic are the "big guns"
`of mergers and acquisitions transaction data. Some of these databases have over 20 years of historical data (Thomson
`SDC), and all contain thousands of transactions with hundreds of items on which to report or screen.
`
`Bloomberg
`
`Bloomberg [www.bloomberg.com] is a good place to start for rudimentary M&A data. Global M&A activity, the
`day's top deals, book manager and law firm rankings and statistics, and the latest in M&A news are displayed by typing
`"MA" at the top of the screen and hitting the green "GO" button. Summary sheets containing comprehensive deal over-
`views can be produced very quickly when deal specifics are known. Bloomberg is also a great place to look for general
`M&A activity volume and trends. YTD (year to date) announced deals for various sectors, including both public and
`private companies involved in both U.S. and international deals, are linked on the main M&A screen. Bloomberg access
`is priced based upon individual firm characteristics and potential usage.
`Thomson
`
`Thomson SDC Platinum is the gold standard (or platinum, pun intended) of mergers and acquisitions transaction
`data. A product of Thomson Financial, SDC Platinum provides coverage back to 1979 domestically and 1985 interna-
`tionally. It includes cross—border deals of all types, even those involving a non-U.S. target and acquirer. Prior to 1992,
`only deals of $ 1 million or greater in value or which involve an acquisition of at least 5 percent interest were included.
`After 1992, deals of any value are covered. The sources of data include news sources, SEC filings, trade publications,
`wires, and "proprietary surveys of investment banks and other advisors."

`
`Although these features alone give Thomson SDC Platinum a huge advantage over competitors, the database's big-
`gest strength lies in its ability to allow information professionals to "screen" on certain search criteria in order to create
`a set of deals that meet those criteria. Thomson SDC Platinum offers over 600 data elements that can be not only
`searched but also compiled into a report. Some of these elements include target and acquirer profiles, deal terms, finan-
`cials, deal value, stock premiums, synopses, event history, deal status, and investor group information. The cost of
`Thomson SDC Platinum varies by customer, but generally involves a charge of $ 50 per search session plus data item
`reporting costs. Negotiated flat-fee contracts are available.
`
`Mergerstat
`
`A division of Factset, Mergerstat's [www.mergerstat.com] main mergers and acquisitions product is the Online
`Transaction Roster, which contains basic deal data beginning in 2001. For transactions dating back to 1992, you can
`subscribe to Factset itself or Alacra (subscriptions begin at $ 18,000 per year), or call Mergerstat for a transactionally
`priced custom report. Mergerstat only includes deals with a U.S. parent as either target or acquirer, and the tran
