Alcohol and sports don't mix. Even when the sport is a meaningless charity softball game.
Though we don't know whether the combatants were consuming alcohol, a pair of men were cited for disorderly conduct after fighting at LeSean McCoy's charity softball game.
If they weren't consuming alcohol, the incident would go from being quite lame to completely pathetic.
According to PennLive.com, two men were separated by police, ejected from the game, and ticketed. One man was left bloody, with one of those pro wrestling forehead cuts that bleeds enough to make the guy look like Carrie.
The cut was described as "minor" (i.e., it happened to someone else), and the man was treated at a local hospital.
Since it's exactly six months to Christmas Eve, it makes sense to point out that the fans who fought at a charity softball game are from the same fan base that once booed the man who has risked getting much worse than a minor scalp laceration when invading homes worldwide.

Former Morehouse Parish resident George Sims was recently named Water Conservationist of the Year for the state of Missouri.
George Sims was named Missouri's Water Conservationist of the Year at the Conservation Federation of Missouri's annual convention in Jefferson City recently.
Sims, who is retired from the City of Bastrop, got involved in the water conversation program shortly after moving from Bastrop to Mansfield, Mo. with wife Amanda and daughter Susan in 2007.
"We have a stream that runs through our property," said Sims, who received the Water Quality Monitoring Ambassador Award in 2009. "The water was flowing when we moved here. I didn't realize it at the time, but it is a seasonal stream— most of the time there is no water."
He soon found out about the Missouri Stream Team program and became participating in cleanups. Strictly a volunteer organization, the Stream Team program has over 4,000 teams and 80,000 individual volunteers statewide.
"When I first moved up here, I I heard about the Stream Team program through the Missouri Department of Conservation's magazine" Sims said. "I started going to Stream Team cleanups. I would drive 50-100 miles and basically canoe downstream with a lot of like-minded people and we would have a barbecue afterwards. It was a lot of fun for me from the start."
From there, Sims signed up for one of the organization's eight-hour workshops in the volunteer water quality monitoring program. Upon completion of the course, the state provides members with the necessary equipment for monitoring the physical, biological, and chemical parameters of Missouri's rivers and streams.
The program has four levels. In the introductory course, students are taught how to identify aquatic macroinvertebrates (Spineless creatures that are large enough to be seen without magnification), which are mostly larval indicators, and which can serve as indicators of water quality. Levels 1-3 reinforce the introductory training and introduce chemical testing methods. Sims has advanced to Level 3, which includes less than 100 members.
"We learned how to catch bug larva to help measure water quality. Some bugs thrive in fresh water, just like others thrive in sewage," Sims said. "We collect bugs, ID them and give data to the state. The state gives you about $500 worth of equipment. They test you to make sure you know what you are doing."
Funding for the equipment is provided by the state.
"Missouri passed a 1/8-cent sales tax for conservation, so they have money to spend," Sims said. "That's why Missouri probably has the best statewide conservation program in the country."
In less than five years, Sims advanced to Level 3.
"Level 3 is pretty tough," Sims said. "They sent a man from the state and we spent about four hours together. I had to catch and ID every bug in front of him."
Sims also had to provide a chemical sampling, measure the flow of a river and assess stream bank conditions.
"Once you get past that, they figure your data is probably about as good as that provided by the professionals from the department," Sims said.
Sims is in charge of four streams in the area, including Bryant Creek which runs through Wright County where he resides in the Ozark Mountains. In 2010, Sims organized the Bryant Creek Assessment Project and his team took on the task of monitoring all 42 miles of Bryant Creek.
Last year, Sims was part of the group completing the Upper White River Monitoring Project.
In addition to his activities with the Steam Team, Sims also participates in the Master Naturalist program. The workshop last for three months, one night a week.
"They teach you about everything from streams and plants to mountain lions," Sims said. "It's like a nature club."
In the mid-1990s, Sims was among the founders of a loosely-organized outdoors group in Morehouse Parish. Some longtime Enterprise subscribers may recall reading about the (exaggerated?) adventures of the Bartholomew Society.
"We sort of talked a good game," Sims laughed. "It was pretty much an old fellas club. We'd get together and go canoeing and have a fish fry afterwards."
The Bartholomew Society was born when its founding members, former Bastrop High teacher and Enterprise columnist Mickey McLean, the late Frank Tugwell, former Enterprise Editor Tim Franklin and Sims climbed Driskill Mountain in Bienville Parish. Although it's summit reaches a modest 535 feet, Mount Driskill is Louisiana's highest point.
"We climbed Driskill Mountain 535 feet above sea level and Mickey made it sound like a real adventure in his column," Sims said. "The next thing you know, Mickey and Frank started giving out certificates to people — mostly women — making them charter members. Pretty soon, they had given away about 100 certificates."
Despite rising to his current status as an award-winning conservationist, Sims hasn't forgotten his humble roots.
"I have my Bartholomew Society flag hanging behind me in my man cave as we speak," Sims said during a telephone interview for this article.
Mansfield's most prominent resident of all-time would be proud of the impact that Sims made during his brief time in the town of approximately 1,300. Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote her series of
"Little House" books in Mansfield, which inspired the "Little House on the Prairie," television series.
"Larua Ingalls Wilder and her husband lived their entire lives in Mansfield and are buried here," Sims said.
Sims and his family plan to relocate at the end of the school year as Amanda has accepted a teaching position at Landers Valley High School in Landers, Wyo. at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.
Needless to say, it will be interesting to see which projects Sims attacks next.

I have been writing standalone Java applications lately, which are run from within a shell script, something like the snippet below. Calling Java standalones in this way is a fairly standard approach. However, being a Python fan(atic?), I would like to write these shell scripts using Python. This article describes how to call Java programs using Jython, which is a Java port of the Python programming language.
1 2 3
java -classpath $LIBDIR/commons-lang-2.1.jar: $LIBDIR/com-mycompany-4.9.jar com.mycompany.mypackage.MyClass $*
In MyClass.java, I have a static main(String[] argv) method which gets invoked as a result of the call above. All it does is instantiate an instance of MyClass and pass some parameters to it, and then call a method on it that does the work. Here is an example, basically yet another implementation of HelloWorld.java, but it will do for illustrating the pattern.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
package com.mycompany.mypackage;
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils;
public class MyClass {
private String name;
public MyClass() {
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
public String greet() {
if (StringUtils.isEmpty(name)) {
return "Hi there";
} else {
return "Hi " + name;
public static void main(String[] argv) {
MyClass myclass = new MyClass();
Arguably, classes in the real world have more code in their main() methods, but the approach I take when I see that I have more than one object being invoked in my main method, is to factor out the logic into private methods of that class, or into a Main.java class in that package if multiple classes are involved.
Anyway, the Jython script to call the main method of MyClass with a single string parameter that is passed in from the command line is shown below. Notice how the Jython script instantiates the MyClass object. The classpath is passed in to Jython using sys.path.append() calls. Resource files, such as .properties files or other XML configuration files need to be baked into the JAR file and should be accessible from within the Java code using getResourceAsStream().
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
#!/usr/bin/env jython
import sys
def setClassPath():
libDir = "/path/to/my/jar/files/"
classPaths = [
for classPath in classPaths:
sys.path.append(libDir + classPath)
def runJavaClass(name):
from com.mycompany.mypackage import MyClass
mc = MyClass()
if (name != None):
print mc.greet()
def main():
if (len(sys.argv) < 2):
name = None
name = sys.argv[1]
if __name__ == "__main__":
As you can see, invoking Java programs from Jython leads to cleaner but more verbose scripts, but does seem to be overkill in our case. However, this approach can really help when you have to design more complicated scripts that deal with a large number of classes. One approach, and my preferred one, is to put this logic in Java in another abstraction layer. However, sometimes, this is not the most practical approach, perhaps because the rules are rather fluid, and you would like to be able to change the rules without having to go through a big release cycle. In such cases, and depending on the complexity of the rules, I think I would be more productive using Python than Shell Scripts. Even if the rules were simple enough to be encoded within a Shell Script to start out with, it may still be more practical to use Jython, since the rules can get more complicated, and you may be faced with having to rewrite the script.
I don't think it is possible to set JVM parameters (such as minimum and maximum JVM sizes) to Jython from within the Jython script, something that is possible using a Shell Script. Jython itself is a shell script and calls the org.python.util.jython class, so these parameters can be passed into the Java invocation in the jython shell script, although this does not seem to be very clean. Running the class through Jython also seems a little slower than running it through a Shell Script, but I haven't done any benchmarks to say this conclusively.

Mayor Don Wesely today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for July to Russell Murray of the Public Works and Utilities Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Murray has worked at the Theresa Street Wastewater Treatment Plant since 1988 and is currently a Utility Plant Mechanic. He was nominated in the categories of productivity and customer relations by Rex Jordan, Wastewater Telemetering Control Technician, and Akram Botrous, Research Assistant with the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The City is working with UNL on a grant-funded pilot project involving a new system designed by Botrous for ammonia removal in wastewater. The City's Wastewater Division built a de-nitrification reactor based on a model and blueprints from Botrous. As the lead staff person on the project, Murray worked for six months to set up the construction. Among the many technical problems he faced were the large size of the reactor; pumping problems; and the balancing of air pressure and water. The reactor is currently running and will continue to operate for up to one year, with Murray providing monitoring and support.
"Russ has performed above the requirements of his position with the City, and I doubt anyone else could have completed this task," wrote Jordan in his nomination. "His relationship with Akram Botrous, the University, other City employees and local companies all contributed to the success of this project."
"Russ is one of the most earnest and meritorious technicians that I have ever met," wrote Botrous in his nomination. "He is very active and always seeking perfection. On top of that, Russ showed superior abilities and initiative in independently solving many problems we had during this project, and he has also shown consistency and discipline in being self-motivated and hard working. His superior performance in our project has demonstrated his dedication, his high intelligence and his ability to cooperate and work with his peers and supervisors."
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are, loss prevention, safety and valor. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

The city of Lyon marks the symbolic end of Burgundy and the beginning of the Rhone Valley. It is at Lyon that the Rhone River, which rises in the Swiss Alps, meets the Saône and turns south for the 190-mile journey to the Mediterranean. For the wine lover, a pilgrimage through the vineyards of the Rhone properly begins at Vienne, 18 miles south of Lyon, where the vineyards, among the most extensive in France, first appear.
The Rhone region is divided, much like Burgundy, into two sections: the northern Rhone, which extends from Vienne to Valance, and the south, which begins at Montelimar and reaches south to Avignon. The stretch between the two zones is, in the late wine expert Alexis Lichine's words, a vinous no man's land. The northern section includes among others the appellations of Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, Cornas, Condrieu, Château-Grillet, St.-Joseph and St.-Péray. In the south the appellations include Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Baumes-de-Venise.
The Rhone's main grapes are, for red wines, syrah in the north and grenache in the south. Little white wine is made in the northern Rhone, but what there is comes mostly from viognier, marsanne and roussanne grapes. In the south, the main white wine grapes are viognier and muscat.
The Rhone's best-known, or at least the most popular, wine is Côtes-du-Rhône. It is to Hermitage and Châteauneuf du Pape what Beaujolais is to Gevrey-Chambertin and Echezaux in Burgundy: a simple, inexpensive cousin to the greatest wines of the region.
Côtes-du-Rhône accounts for some 80 percent of the red wine produced in the Rhone Valley. It can differ considerably from producer to producer because it is always a blended wine, and some 20 grape varieties are authorized to be used in the mix. Invariably, grenache will dominate, with syrah, mourvèdre and cinsalut as supporting reds. Grapes that can be used for white Côtes-du-Rhône include marsanne, roussanne, grenache blanc and bourboulenc. Decent Côtes-du-Rhône can sell for $8, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages for a few dollars more. One of the best, the Coudoulet de Beaucastel, may go as high as $25.
The best wine of the northern Rhone is Hermitage, a deep, powerful, long-lived red wine made entirely from syrah. Quantities are always small, and a Hermitage from a producer like Jaboulet can cost up to $200 a bottle. (There is also some Hermitage white.)
Côte-Rôtie, also made from syrah, often with a touch of viognier, is a profound, elegant red wine that, coming from a producer like Guigal, can cost $80 to $100 a bottle.
In the south, the most important wine by far is Châteauneuf-du-Pape (the pope's new castle). Arguably, it's even better known than Côtes-du-Rhône, although production is far smaller and prices for the best much higher.
There are red and white Châteauneuf-du-Papes. Thirteen grape varieties are permitted. The best, red or white, are powerful, extremely dry wines; the image, as one writer put it, of their landscape hillsides of mistral-battered vines growing between stones the size of loaves of country bread. One of the best red Châteauneufs comes from the Château de Beaucastel and will cost around $100. One New York shop recently offered Beaucastel's Châteauneuf "Cuvée Perrin" 2004 at $485 a bottle. — Frank Prial, Dec. 10, 2007

Like sailboats zipping around ocean freighters, small businesses can be fast and agile in ways that larger organizations can't manage. In a sudden squall, however, that lean structure can put the business in peril.
mall businesses are particularly sensitive to changing market conditions, such as a slowing (or rising) economy. And they can be disrupted by personnel or culture changes that a large organization would absorb. Here are some ways to protect your small business from shifts in the weather.
While a strong economy lifts all boats, small businesses are likely to feel the effects first. That's great, providing you have the capacity to handle high demand.
Weatherproofing: Analyze sales trends for the past five years to spot trends that can help you avoid surprises. Establish strong relationships with suppliers and additional contract staff that you can count on at peak times. With the gig economy booming, you can find just about any service you need on demand, but you don't want to go through a trial and error period with eager customers lining up at your door.
Every business needs a safety net of cash reserves to survive a downturn.
Weatherproofing: "Small business owners leave themselves open to disaster if they put too much of their profits back into the business," says Lisa Raye Hund, Business Exit and Financial Advisor at Consolidated Planning, Inc. in Charlotte, North Carolina. "Set aside a percentage to grow your wealth and protect your personal financial future through insurance, savings and investments." To create a safety net for the business, tally up your monthly obligations — employee wages, taxes and overhead — and stash enough cash to weather six months of negative cash flow.
The death of a valued employee can hit a small business hard, emotionally and financially. In extreme cases, it can even sink the business.
Weatherproofing: A continuity plan is essential for a small business, yet many owners procrastinate in creating one (see dense fog below). Key employee insurance is also a good idea. It will help insulate your company with coverage that gets paid out to the business in the event of such a loss.
Managing day-to-day can be all-consuming. But, if you consistently focus only on what's in your headlights, you may miss opportunities and pitfalls down the road.
Weatherproofing: "Gaining perspective is critical for small business owners," says Lisa. "Many become so immersed 'in' the business, they fail to manage it." She advises taking the time to develop long-term strategies to nurture growth. In one study, companies that took a long view outperformed short-termers in revenue generation (by 47 percent) and earnings growth (by 36 percent).1
A hidden hazard for freelancers, like consultants and writers, is the risk of being sued over the quality of your work.
Weatherproofing: Professional liability insurance is wise for solo providers because it can help pay legal bills if there's a lawsuit over your services. Not to be confused with general liability insurance, which protects your business if someone actually falls on black ice on your sidewalk.
Like the Tasmanian Devil, a toxic employee can wreak havoc in the fragile ecosystem of a small business. Weatherproofing: "Not having the right people in the right places is one of the greatest risks to the longevity of a small business," says Lisa. Hire for capabilities and for cultural fit. Include several colleagues in the interview process and observe the prospect in casual settings, so you get a 360-degree view. Check and re-check references — and trust your gut if something seems "off."
Last, Lisa advises small business owners not to get overwhelmed by the scope of preventive measures needed. "Take the time to implement pieces over a few years versus looking for a quick fix," she says. "The biggest danger is to take no action at all."

As much as I want to roll my eyes at people making New Year's resolutions, I'd have to roll them right back at myself because every year, with a bit of reluctance, I make them.
Maybe it's because at my core, I'm a list writer, and the crossing-off of each item gives me some sort of high. Or perhaps it's just because I like the idea of going into a new year with a set of aspirations.
But this year, instead of writing lofty goals like "work on my marriage" (because you know that's on my list), I'm breaking my resolutions down into smaller, more achievable objectives. And if you're like me and want to make changes to your own relationship in 2013, maybe you'll join me in working on crossing these off over the coming year.
1. Schedule at least one date night a month
This resolution will be much harder than it sounds because my husband's travel schedule makes it difficult to schedule anything; however, we need more time alone outside of the house. My plan is to book our sitter the second I get his schedule every month and then worry about what to do for date night later.
2. Return to therapy on a regular basis
Indeed, another casualty of our schedules and the therapist we chose (she only works on Mondays and Tuesdays) has meant that we haven't been to a marriage therapy session in awhile. That being said, even if it's just once a month, I want to be sure we've got a counseling session on the books because even the few that we attended really helped us.
3. Continue to communicate more effectively
I feel confident that my communication skills have gotten much better over the last few months, and I've definitely reaped the benefits of being more open and honest in a way that's constructive and not destructive. Hopefully, my husband will take the cue from me as well. Quite frankly, he needs a lot of work in this area and I can only do so much.
4. Take time for myself
To be a better partner, I need to have time to myself. I'm only sorry that it took me so long to listen to friends and family, heck even myself. I must have time alone! Whether it's a couple of hours getting a pedicure, or sitting quietly at a coffee shop just reading and not looking at a computer screen, then so be it.
5. Let things go, when appropriate
I'm a terrible score-keeper, partially because I have a good memory and, I'll be honest, partially because my husband doesn't apologize for things and repeats certain negative behaviors over and over. And so what happens is that the grievances pile up until they all come shooting out of me. I'm learning to address things when they happen, and not let them fester. And also discerning what's really worth getting upset about and what I should just let go.
What do you want to work on in your relationship in 2013?

On Tuesday, the FCC approved LightSquared's fallback plan to move from a frequency close to that of GPS in the upper L-band–where tests had shown severe interference–to a lower 10-MHz portion of the same spectrum where reduced interference was expected. A new series of tests in this spectrum are expected to begin soon, and virtually every expert body has already predicted the tests will reveal some interference with GPS. The lower part of the L-band spectrum is essential to the more than 200,000 organizations of the true precision GPS community, from farmers to construction workers to earth crust scientists to building surveyors. To this exacting group, acceptable accuracy starts around an inch or two and quickly drops to fractions of centimeters. In previous tests even with lower-power transmitting stations than planned in final deployment, LightSquared's 4G broadband transmissions still caused interference with high-precision GPS devices, including those for aviation. In its September 13 public notice, the FCC has apparently avoided facing up to the only solution to prevent any interference between the 4G broadband network and GPS, which is to move LightSquared to another frequency. Instead, the FCC chose to kick the can farther down the road.

LightSquared shuts down GPS receivers because the powerful signal (15,750 watts, or, maybe ½ that) just right near GPS receivers (up to many miles away) saturates the antenna amplifier in the GPS receiver trying to receive about 300 watts from about 11,000 miles away. No filter on LightSquared transmitters can prevent that. Need a filter on the GPS receiver after the patch before the gain stage to ground out the LightSquared off band signal. Our is $1200 and the size of a brick and NOT a complete solution. Sanjiv Ahuja has said he has one for 30 cents. We are waiting to see one. Javad says they have a better GPS. We are waiting to see one. Either way, you all get to buy a new GPS.
Another way is to alter the LightSquared protocol, to contain "holes" that GPS can listen through. Chief Network Officer for LightSquared says "…I do not intend to follow up with you regarding your proposal" and "Please understand we have received hundreds of offers to solve our issue and simply do not have time to engage everyone." That option does not have you all buying a new GPS.

Pulling it off: Mark Wahlberg has gone from the streets of Dorchester to stardom
By AUSTIN O'CONNOR, Sun Staff
BOSTON To prepare for his role as the leader of a heist team in The Italian Job, Mark Wahlberg led his co-stars in a carefully planned late-night raid on the Paramount Studios lot in Hollywood. Along with his on-screen criminal crew that includes actors like Seth Green, Mos Def and Jason Statham, the Boston-born Wahlberg set a ladder against the towering wall that surrounds the lot, clambered over it, and proceeded to wreak havoc under cover of darkness.
"We stole golf carts, went around and pretty much stole whatever we could get," the chiseled 31-year-old actor recalls with a laugh during a recent visit back to his hometown to talk about his latest movie, a new version of the British cult classic.
Included in their haul were several reels of film, computers and the most prized of the loot SWAT team uniforms from the set of Boomtown, the NBC cop drama on which Wahlberg's brother Donnie plays one of the lead roles. The raid took place only a few months after the 9/11 attacks, so the plan to run roughshod over a presumably heavily-guarded major studio lot even if it was the studio that was making The Italian Job, and even if it was a lark was risky, and probably more than a bit foolish. But watching Wahlberg tell the story, you can tell that it was also pretty darn fun.
"Of course we returned everything the next morning, told the studio what we did, and they went crazy," he says with a smile. "Here they are searching cars for bombs and stuff and we went right on the lot. They weren't too happy, but it was a way for us to really find our chemistry."
Though the Paramount heist was all in good fun, there was a time in Wahlberg's life when a career in crime looked like it might be his most promising option. As the youngest of nine kids, Wahlberg had a notoriously troubled youth, eventually landing in jail at the age of 16 after being convicted on a myriad of charges that stemmed from a street melee.
He spent time at the Deer Island House of Correction, and by the time of his release Donnie was just starting to make hearts swoon as a member of the New Kids on The Block. The bubblegum group was actually an offshoot of a rap duo that originally featured Donnie and Mark, so Donnie was more than happy to help his younger brother get back on his feet. And Wahlberg, who had time to do some soul-searching as he sat behind bars, was more than happy to be helped when he got out.
"I knew that it wasn't what I wanted for my life," he says of his criminal activity. "I was doing it, and I was succeeding at it. But succeeding at it is, you know, getting locked up. So I decided that I was going to find something positive, that I was going to create a life for myself."
With Donnie's help, he landed a record deal and burst on the scene as Marky Mark, his white-rapper persona predating Eminem by nearly a decade. Then came those famous Calvin Klein underwear ads, in which he struck his notorious pantsless pose, and a pop-culture star was born. But the transition to serious acting required a little more effort than just dropping his pants. In fact, Wahlberg says he never really envisioned himself as an actor, especially when the roles he was offered in the wake of his rapping and modeling success weren't all that tempting.
"The only parts I was being offered were things like the white rapper in Sister Act 2, just the worst things you could possibly imagine," he says. "I met a lot of people, and the more people I met the more I didn't want to be in the movies, or have anything to do with them."
That attitude changed when he met director Penny Marshall, who was convinced he could play the part of a young Army recruit in Renaissance Man.
"We just clicked," he says. "She has a similar background and upbringing. She just spoke the same language as me, and we clicked."
The movie was quickly forgotten, but Wahlberg's surprisingly solid performance wasn't.
"Everybody thought I was going to be so bad," he says with a smile, "that if I did one thing that was even slightly interesting, they thought it was good. Looking back, I am proud of the work."
His ascent to A-list star was stunning in its speed. Roles in respected smaller movies like Fear and The Basketball Diaries led to his most famous turn, as ridiculously-endowed porn star Dirk Diggler in Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights.
Surprisingly, the Boogie Nights role wasn't as easy to accept as it would seem.
"I was 25 years old, I had already made millions of dollars and been successful in a number of areas," he recalls. "And I was still debating whether or not to do Boogie Nights because I was worried about what people in my old neighborhood would think. It was the stupidest thing in the world."
It was that struggle, in part, that led to the formation of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which raises money for young kids in Dorchester and other areas and focuses on fostering their creativity.
"Here are all these kids (in those areas) who are creative and can express themselves artistically, and they're not allowed to because of where they're from," he says. "There's one way to be, and that's it. And if you go against that, you have a really, really tough time. It's really unfortunate."
The actor, who recently bought a new house in Los Angeles, says he devotes as much time as he can to the Foundation. But for now, his focus is on The Italian Job, which follows The Planet of the Apes and The Truth About Charlie (Jonathan Demme's update of Charade) as the latest in a string of remakes for the actor. This time around, he plays Charlie Coker, the crew leader played by Michael Caine in the 1969 original.
"I've made those decisions based on the filmmakers," he says about the spate of remakes. "That's basically been my approach that the most important thing in making a film is the filmmaker. I still have a lot to learn, and so I try to work with as many talented people, and different types of talent. So when Tim Burton asked me to do Planet of the Apes, Tim Burton could ask me to run around the street naked and I'd say 'not a problem.'"
"I watched Charade and Planet of the Apes, and wasn't a huge fan of either one," he continues. "I have a lot of respect for both, and I understand why they were held in such high regard. But The Italian Job is something that I wasn't even aware of until after I read the script. And this movie is better than the original, and I couldn't really say that about the other two."
Next up, he'll reunite with David O. Russell, under whose direction he gave his finest performance in Three Kings, for the comedy I Love Huckabee's. And he's prepping to take on his biggest role yet: In August, he and girlfriend Rhea Durham are expecting their first child, a baby girl.
Once chastised as brash, arrogant and entitled, Wahlberg now speaks with the ease of a man who fully appreciates his success. And one who's happy that his criminal misdeeds are now confined to the movie screen and the occasional studio lot, of course.
"Every once in a while, I kind of look back. I've been working so much for so long now," he says. "But every once in a while I kind of step back and, yes, I guess I am kind of amazed that I pulled it off."
The Italian Job opens on Friday at area theaters.

I am always fascinated by the impact of human emotions on our consumer behavior – whether those emotions are inspired by tragedy or triumph. Two television broadcasts made ratings history recently, one because of a tragedy and one because of a triumph: the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on CBS and the contest between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks, February 10, on ESPN.
Nielsen research has proven Americans love sports and music programming. African- Americans are typically well-represented in both. The Grammy Awards have been a viewing favorite. Research backs up the common sense notion that Blacks tend to gravitate to programming where there are larger numbers of people who look like us – but this year, the number of us who watched the Grammys was almost off the charts (no pun intended). The recent 54th Annual Grammy Awards attracted nearly 40 million viewers (39.9 million), which made it the largest Grammy audience since 1984 and the second largest in the history of the broadcast. Of those 39.9 million viewers, African- Americans made up 6.21 million. That means a whopping 60% more Black folks watched the Grammys this year than last (3.7 million out of a total viewership of 24.7 million in 2011).
Some people like me may tune in to see who's wearing what. How fabulous will our favorites be, or how outrageous? Others are true music aficionados. While the why for this year's phenomenal success of the Grammys has not yet been officially analyzed, I suspect that the tragic news of the sudden death of beloved music icon Whitney Houston the night before piqued the increased interest. If you were like me and my friends, we were reeling with disbelief. Tuning into the Grammys seemed to offer a kind of solace and comradery in our collective desire to pay homage to a musical phenomenon who was one of our own.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, the show didn't hold my attention for long beyond the luscious LL's prayer for "our fallen sister" (a very nice touch). But after his intro and having glimpsed the outrageous outfits of Nicki Minaj, Gaga and the sweet acknowledgements from Alicia Keys and Bruno Mars, I begged my Facebook friends to wake me up when they got to the Whitney tribute. Someone from Ft. Wayne, Ind. (my hometown) actually alerted me when Glen Campbell's tribute came on. (You couldn't grow up in the Fort without being inundated with his music back in the day). So I loudly and proudly sang along to the tribute. My son watched me with his mouth hanging open in disbelief. "Really, mom?! Seriously, you LIKE this country music?" (If he reacted like this to my Glen Campbell tribute, he does NOT want to be around when my sister, his Aunt Natalie, goes berserk over Kenny Rogers). Following Jennifer Hudson's moving tribute of "I Will Always Love You," and after fighting back tears, I clicked off.
On the flip side, Americans love to cheer on an underdog, a "Rocky," a champion who rises from the ashes of obscurity to achieve victory. In two words: Jeremy Lin. It was my basketball-playing son who turned me onto the phenomenon that was taking place with the undrafted 23-year old, Harvard-educated Asian-American from California and his fortuitous match-up against the New Jersey Nets. Lin has averaged 27 points per game – launching him from bench warmer to global superstar. In addition to a 73 percent increase in viewership of Knicks games on MSG and ESPN in New York, nationally the February 10 game between the Knicks and the Lakers on ESPN was the most-watched Friday night regular season NBA game on the network, so far this season - with just over 3 million viewers.
On top of that, NM Incite (a Nielsen McKinsey company) reports that social media buzz has also hit a frenzied pitch around the world since the first February 4 game. Even the phrase "LinSanity" has been coined. The online chatter about Lin has surpassed conversations about the Knicks, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant combined. Now, that's powerful. And so are you. Because, if you follow these ratings stories, you know these surges in increased viewership are a result of people just like you and me tuning in. It's great news for the networks as well as the advertisers. Those advertisers are dedicated to reaching us – the consumers. Which brings me to my mantra, "Knowledge is power." The power is in your hands, and so is the remote control.

Mini is looking to corner the market in the "most two-door models offered" from a manufacturer. Today, the release of the new Mini Cooper Paceman solidifies the company's vision.
The new Paceman is the fourth coupé in the company's line up. While we are perplexed about their decision to add another coupe, the interior space does sit four while also carrying over many things we like about its Countryman sibling.
Take, for example, the optional AWD Mini Cooper Paceman S, with its turbocharged 184hp 1.6L engine. The ideal Frankenstein of all mini models in one package. Sporting looks for the Cooper S, Interior size of the Countryman and versatility of the Clubman. The car has enough room for all your friends on a sizeable road trip, or even the makings of a homebuilt rally car.
If you are across the Atlantic Ocean you have the choice of two diesel engine packages. The Cooper D is a 1.6L 112hp turbocharged engine, while the Cooper SD gets a 2.0L 143hp turbo-diesel engine with an average fuel economy of 61.4mpg.
We expect to see plenty of personalization items available for the car, and even a potential John Cooper Paceman S Works edition. For now options include 16"-19" wheels, lowering springs, upholstery choices and interior surfaces.
Set to arrive in show rooms sometime in March 2013, it will be interesting to see where this Mini lands on the price scale. For now you can anxiously wait to squander hours of your workday customizing your ideal Mini coupe, whichever of the four you decide on.

The waiting is the hardest part in this week's random thoughts for a Tuesday:
The waiting is the hardest part in this week's random thoughts for a Tuesday:
� Great Britain hadn't had one of its own win the Wimbledon men's singles title since Fred Perry in 1936. Andy Murray exhilarated his countrymen and helped heal residents of his hometown of Dunblane, Scotland, a small hamlet that experienced a school shooting in 1996 similar to what happened in 1989 at Stockton's Cleveland Elementary and last year at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. Murray was 8 years old when a gunman took 17 lives before shooting himself. A triumph for Murray out of tragedy.
� Patriots owner Robert Kraft said his organization doesn't put "private eyes" on people outside the team building. Guess he forgot about "spygate" in 2007, when the Patriots were caught filming the Jets' defensive signals during a game and were disciplined by the league. Kraft said he didn't know former tight end Aaron Hernandez as anything but polite and had no idea what his life was like off the field. Fair enough. The Pats released the tight end when he was charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd last month.
� Anna Benson was arrested in Georgia after raiding her estranged husband's apartment wearing a bullet proof vest with a gun and metal baton. Kris Benson, who pitched for the Pirates and Mets among other teams, filed for divorce last year. Think his parents are saying, "We told you so."
� Rasheed Wallace will be an assistant coach next season for one of his former teams, the Pistons. Detroit's young bigs will benefit from Wallace's experience. We'll see if they adopt his penchant for drawing technical fouls.
� Speaking of technicals, Jason Kidd was T'd up during a summer league game on Sunday. The Nets' new coach didn't receive one technical foul among the more than 800 that were called last season, his 19th and last as a player in the NBA. But it took only 37 minutes and 37 seconds for the 40-year-old to get his first T as a coach.
� Homer Bailey's no-hitter for the Reds last Tuesday against the Giants meant free pizza to the first 10,000 fans who redeemed an online promotion. It took only 2 hours for the pizzas to be spoken for.
� The A's only have pitcher Bartolo Colon on the American League All-Star team. Small-market team with a low payroll leading the AL West by a half-game after beating Pittsburgh 2-1 on Monday and still no respect. At least reliever Grant Balfour, who is 23 for 23 in saves, should have made it.
� Edison alum Darren Arbet and his 11-4 San Jose SaberCats clinched a playoff berth Saturday with one game remaining in the regular season. San Jose is second in the Arena Football League power rankings. Arbet, the head coach and partial owner, has won three Arena Bowl titles and is a two-time AFL coach of the year.

"Black Swan" movie Fan-ArtPosted by Tanya Wheeler Varga
Hey everyone! :)
Here is a simple, quick fan-art painting I did today that I thought I'd post here. I worked about 4 hours on it so far and am pretty happy with it. I got really inspired to paint it after watching a movie trailer for an upcoming movie (which I'm highly anticipating) titled "Black Swan" directed by one of my favorite directors Darren Aronofsky. The movie also stars Natalie Portman who also happens to be one of my favorite actors as well.
Here is a link to the movie trailer for anyone who is interested: "Black Swan" movie Trailer
Updated 7/17/11: I worked on the tutu just a bit.
Thanks for visiting! :)

Capgemini incorporates Alfresco into the French Air Force Document Information System
Simple to install and use, flexible and open-ended, the Alfresco solution has been chosen to manage all technical documentation of the French Air Force
The wide range of functionalities offered by Alfresco (digitization of paper documentation, management of the document repository, controlling the stock and distribution of electronic publications, activity monitoring, on-line consultation, etc.) meets all the requirements of the French Air Force Technical Documentation Center (CDTAA), allowing it to identify, generate, duplicate, manage and distribute technical documentation.
From the start of the project there was a desire to switch from a proprietary to an open source solution. Launched in 2002, the Rénodoc project was run jointly by the Air Force Support Command (CSFA), which manages the French Air Force Technical Documentation Center (CDTAA), and Capgemini. Within 3 years, Rénodoc had two versions of its original platform running on a commercial application. In 2005 the CSFA wanted to upgrade the solution, particularly so as to allow users to access the document base via the intranet, and decided to opt for an open source solution.
After analyzing the offerings of various companies operating in this market, the final choice fell upon Alfresco: "Their solution fulfilled 2 criteria which we regarded as essential: The level of the document functions satisfied the needs of the CFSA, and furthermore the software met all the relevant document standards while being open source. Moreover this choice fully accorded with the open source strategy of Capgemini and of its OSSPartnerTM offering," explains Michel Praden, Project Manager at Capgemini Sud SAS in Marseilles, which was tasked with running the project.
"The Ministry of Defense wants to go more and more down the open source route, and that was one of the main reasons for our choice," adds Captain Greppi who was in charge of the Rénodoc project within the Air Force Support Command. "And above and beyond that requirement, we were persuaded by the range and flexibility of the functions of the Alfresco solution, without of course forgetting the financial advantage. Moreover the editing tool has an excellent reputation, thanks in particular to the experience of its founders, and for us this represents a significant value-added."
As the first solution combining the open source model with enterprise content management, Alfresco offers better value for money than the proprietary products available on the market.
What is more, the open source model allows Alfresco to use best-of-breed open source technologies and contributions from the open source community, thereby delivering a system that is perpetually evolving and adapting to the needs of its users.
In November 2007 the first phase of the project was completed: migration of Rénodoc to the Alfresco platform. The solution makes it possible to meet all the functional needs of the Air Force Technical Documentation Center (CDTAA):
- Digitization of paper documentation
- Management of the Air Force document repository
- Generation of electronic publicationsControlling the stock and distribution of electronic publications
- Managing and planning orders of the CDTAA
- Monitoring the activities of the CDTAA
The final completion of the project, incorporating all the major developments, is planned for March 2009. This ultimate version of Rénodoc will allow the Air Force Technical Documentation Center to place Air Force technical documentation directly onto the Intradef network and accommodate documentation of military aircraft such as the Rafale and the A400M, prepared according to different versions of standard S1000D.
This version also includes digitization of document services, thus providing the CDTAA with facilities such as:
- On-line consultation of non-operational documents, procurement catalogs and the document repository.
- Procedure for developing the document base: comment slips, networked coordination of actions of experts and officers, traceability of requested or accepted developments
- Management of the document base: handling of actions by contributors to the system as well as digitized requests from subscribers.
Capgemini, one of the world's foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, enables its clients to transform and perform through technologies. Capgemini provides its clients with insights and capabilities that boost their freedom to achieve superior results through a unique way of working – the Collaborative Business Experience - and through a global delivery model called Rightshore®, which aims to offer the right resources in the right location at competitive cost.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Wash and dry the potatoes. Spread a 1/4-inch bed of salt in a baking dish and top with the potatoes. Prick the top of the potatoes. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked throughout.
Meanwhile, make the prosciutto bits.
Place a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Place prosciutto in heated pan. Drizzle bits with olive oil, and cook, stirring. The prosciutto will give off steam for about 5 minutes while it releases its moisture. When the hiss of steam turns to a sizzle, turn the heat down to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the prosciutto bits are crisp, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bits to several thicknesses of paper towel to drain. The bits will crisp even more as they cool. (Use immediately or freeze the bits for up to 6 months and warm in a skillet as needed.)
Remove the potatoes from the oven.
Cut an x in the top of each potato, and push in the sides to split open. Divide the prosciutto bits, mascarpone or creme fraiche, and chives among the potatoes and serve immediately.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day.
After a 15 year break, I decided to give contact lenses another try. Since I love 3D movies, this seemed like a good idea. It is really not fun to wear two pair of glasses when watching a movie. Fortunately, putting in contacts is like riding a bike. You never forget.
I was able to easily put in and take out the contacts. I opted for the one-day disposable kind since I will only put them in occasionally, mainly when I go to the theater. The hope is that my eyes will continue to tolerate them well. With disposables, I do not think it will be a problem.
Welcome Lions met with West Lexington Lions Club this week for the official visit from District Gov. Tim Williams from the Linwood Lions Club. Williams had an informative and inspiring program for both clubs.
Welcome Lions members have tickets for the country style steak dinner for $10. The dinner is from 5 until 7 p.m. April 13 at Center United Methodist Church in Welcome. All tickets are pre-sold and are available from any member, NewBridge Bank in Welcome or Bank of North Carolina in Welcome.
The Lions encourage the public to continue to collect old glasses, hearing aids, cell phones, computer cartridges and Campbell UPC codes.
Seniors Country Store has something for all
I realized that some folks may think that the Seniors Country Store is only for seniors — nothing could be further from the truth. There are great items for all age groups. I have my eye on a cute Laplander hat that was crocheted by hand. There is also beautiful jewelry to be found at the store, as well as lovely hand knitted and crocheted baby items. Of course, there is still a good stock of home canned goods, too. Come for a visit and you may be very pleasantly surprised. The store is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Call 731-2211 or 798-2540 to learn more.
Welcome Civitan will host banquet
The Welcome Civitan Club will have its annual Valentine banquet beginning at 6:30 Feb. 21. This special meeting will be at Beulah United Church of Christ. The Friendship Class will provide the meal and the guest speaker will be Sandy Motley of Davidson Medical Ministries.
Bethesda youths will attend music event
Bethesda Youth will be going to Winter Jam on Saturday, and they will be going on a ski trip to Maggie Valley Feb. 22 through Feb. 24.
Bethesda Men will be having their Sweetheart dinner at 5 p.m. Sunday.

Groups perform monthly at Center UMC
Pickin' and Grinnin' will be held in the new Christian Fellowship Center at Center UMC on Feb. 28. Those interested in participating may bring instruments, voices, or just come to listen and sing along. A $5 hot dog supper will be served at 6 p.m., with music following at 7 p.m.

Fundraiser features chicken pie, dumplings
Pilgrim Reformed Church will have a chicken pie and dumpling fund raiser on from 11 a.m. through the supper hour on Feb. 23. The menu will be a choice of chicken pie or chicken dumplings, green beans and corn, slaw, dessert and beverage at the cost of $7 per plate. Combination pie and dumpling plates will cost $8.

Patt's Pointers
My dear friend, Patt Hampton, sent in the following hint. She says to get more juice out of a lemon or other citrus fruit, microwave it for about 15 seconds. Then, roll the fruit on the counter, pressing hard on the fruit. Cut off an end and squeeze.

Soil & Water:Sweet peas must have well-drained soil, so dig deeply and enrich with aged manure or compost before sowing seeds. Water well and mulch as vines grow.
Planting & Growing:Sow seeds in full sun in cool early spring weather (as early as the ground can be worked). In mild winter climates, where the ground does not freeze, sweet peas can be planted in the fall. Erect a well-anchored trellis, fence, or vertical netting for these climbing vines before planting seeds. Seedlings will form strong root systems, then overwinter to bloom vigorously in the spring. Plant seeds 1" deep and 2 - 3" apart. When seedlings are 2" tall, thin to 4-5" apart to allow plants room to mature. Sweet peas bloom best before the weather gets too hot. Where summer heat comes on fast, they'll appreciate a spot with afternoon shade. Anchor supports well as vies will grow heavy with bloom. Protect seedlings from birds, slugs, and snails. For longest bloom, pick flowers often and keep faded blossoms cut.
Whether you intend to send someone a secret message with your bouquet, or just enjoy the color and scent as you pass by a trellis full of sweet peas, this heirloom bloom is a perfect addition to every garden... Read More

First is this plan posted at a hospital. I think it's particularly important, because when you have to urgently "evacuate" it's good to know where the bathrooms are.
Next is this insanity. When "artisanal" or "handcrafted" aren't enough, they have to pay someone to think of better names. Because just calling it "moisturizer" or "hand lotion" is boring.
On the other hand, it also opens up the possibility of Mrs. Grumpy telling me "Not tonight, honey. Why don't you just rub yourself with some Happy Sensation instead?"
And last, we have this bit of hyperbole from a medical marketing company. Instead of a network or panel of doctors, they have an "organically grown community" of them. Whatever that means.

How hard would it for him to say YES, this is a great competition that's transpired in the NFC WEST, and the Seahawks are off the front porch and running with the big dogs now.
