B16 The Boston Globe WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 200! Names Mark Shanahan Meredith Goldstein A tax break with Obama Suffolk freshman Scott Paiva is just back from D.C., where he met with President Obama. "It was phenomena, a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said the 1 8-year-old finance major from New Bedford. "Once I heard his voice, I knew this was all real." Paiva was chosen to visit the White House after finishing third in the National Youth Entrepre-neurship Challenge. (He developed a tax preparation service geared to young people.) Paiva and the top two took a tour of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and talked to the president.

"He told me that he's going to have me do his Cabinet's taxes," he said. Paiva's visit is scheduled to be on "CBS Evening News" Friday. Tufts group can sing The all-male a cappella group at Tufts University will be in the spotlight after all. We're told that members of the Beel-zebubs have all received their professors' permission to take part in the upcoming NBC reality competition "The Sing-Off," which is executive produced by local moviemaker Sam Weisman. Initially, Tufts academic dean James Glaser was loath to let the 'Bubs blow off class to appear on the show, which pits a cappella groups against each other.

"Sing-Off" is due to air as four two-hour episodes starting Dec. 14, but a crew will be on campus soon to shoot B-roll on the 'Bubs' bios. Maddow makes exhibit MSNBC host Rachel Maddow made the scene the other night at the opening of her partner's show at the TJ Walton Gallery in Provincetown. Also there to see Susan Mikula's pictures was stand-up comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer. Mikula and Maddow live together in Western Mass.

Not so hard, it turns out. Filming of "The Social Network" got underway this week, and Wheelock College and Boston University are standing in for the World's Greatest University. In keeping with its longstanding policy forbidding movies from shooting inside its hallowed halls, Harvard stiff-armed "The Social Network," which is about the founding of Facebook by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg "We have a policy not allowing commercial filming on campus," said Harvard flack John Longbrake. (One exception was Denzel Washington's "The Great Debaters," which was partially shot at Sanders Theatre.) No big deal.

Monday, the movie starring Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg and Justin Timber-lake as FB cofounder Sean Parker commandeered Wheelock's new Campus Center to film a winter scene set at the Maxwell-Dworkin building at Harvard. Wheelock was paid for the use of the property, but a school spokesperson wouldn't tell us how much. (With Harvard's endowment down 27 percent this year, you'd think the Ivy League school would be happy to take some of Hollywood's cash.) Yesterday, "Social Network" director David Fincher moved to BU, and tomorrow he'll be at the South End shop Posh, which has been turned into a bogus Harvard bookstore called the "Crimson Emporium." Of course, the movie loosely based on Ben Mezrich's book "Accidental Billionaires" isn't the only game in town. The cast and crew of "The Town" set up shop yesterday in Harvard Square. Director Ben Affleck was directing foot traffic outside The Coop in the morning, and cameras rolled in the afternoon when a security guard emerged from an armored car and walked into a bank with bags of money.

Passersby said the filming caused little commotion, though one entrance to the Harvard Square station was closed periodically. ARAM BOGHOSIAN FORTHE BOSTON GLOBE sim Chmerkovskiy. Globe correspondent Terri Schwartz contributed to this report. Read the Names blog at www. boston, com namesblog.

Sandeep Kapoor, or her boyfriend-lawyer Howard K. Stern. Stern, Kapoor, and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich are charged with conspiring to provide controlled substances to Smith, who died in February 2007 of an accidental overdose. The testimony was part of a preliminary hearing to decide whether Stern and the doctors should stand trial.

That was just enough time, however, for the band members to sit down and catch their breath on a lukewarm sensitive-side acoustic number, "Misguided Ghosts," before getting back to business. Obligatory ballad dispensed with and electric guitars strapped back on, Paramore capped the encore with a satisfying sprint through the new hook-powered anthem "Brick by Boring Brick," then bolted the stage before the exhilaration wore off. The Swellers, Paramore's Fueled by Ramen labelmates, opened with a straightforward set of agreeably rewed-up emo-punk, while Paper Route, second on the bill, offered an entertaining mix of swooning, '80s-style New Romanticism updated with rave-ready electro-pop.

All 'Saints' day Ten years after "Boondock Saints," the film detailing the rise and fall of bartender-turned-scriptwriter Troy Duffy, still has many, many fans. A screening this week of the sequel, "Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day," attracted twice as many people as could be accommodated at the Loews Boston Common. Duffy told the crowd he had resisted seeing the new film because "I wanted to watch this in my home with a bunch of 'Boondock' fans." And afterward when the audience reacted enthusiastically? "My baby's got 10 fingers and 10 toes. I found that out tonight," Duffy said. Given the filmmaker's unpredictable nature, we had high hopes for the after-party at the Paradise, but because much of the audience was under 2 1 they couldn't get in, so it was a subdued affair.

Billy Connolly left early, while Duffy, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reed us, and Bob Marley mingled with fans and signed autographs.

Watching Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams a flashy punk-pop ace at the ripe old age of 20 command the stage at the House of Blues Monday night, you couldn't help but wonder if some performers were (to quote a track title from the band's second album) "born for this." Of course, Williams didn't exactly have to work to win over the frantically allegiant sold-out crowd. It already knew every shout-along lyric off of "Brand New Eyes," Paramore's third and latest album, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard chart when it dropped last month. But still.

Here she was, the brightly burning or message that MUSIC REVIEW PARAMORE With: Paper Route, the Swellers At: House of Blues, Monday night focal point of a five-pronged attack, darting across the floor during "Looking Up," a dose of spiky No Doubt-esque instant gratification. There she was moments later, pogo-ing madly to the beat as she belted the smackdown killer chorus to "That's What You Get." She proved as taut and tough as the riffs supplied by guitarists Josh Farro and Taylor York on "Emergency," a little buzzbomb of a tune that matched Wil liams for super-charged energy, impressive volume, and cocksure attitude. Any signs of the internal discord that reportedly caused a near-breakup of the band or fueled the sense of emotional upheaval at the core of the new disc were nowhere to be seen on stage Monday. Instead the Tennessee-bred outfit, in the midst of a headlining US club tour with a slew of European dates to follow, looked and sounded like a unified force, spring-loaded to deliver the kind of boisterous pop that defines summer soundtracks. Not exactly the most original of sounds or strategies, but fun and devilishly effective nonetheless.

With Williams at the helm, Paramore raced not rushed through 15 tunes in 75 minutes that sped by in a RED Black V2 GL B16 21:58 FIRST NEW V2.
