Philadelphia’s Old City isknown for its raucousnightlife, but lately, it seemsthat blood has been flowingjust as freely as booze.
Saturday morning’s stab-bing, sparked by a closingtime argument in front of af-ter hours club Recess, is thesecond violent incident with-in a two-block radius in asmany months. In mid-Janu-ary, Temple grad Kevin Kless,23, was also wounded after anarea altercation as the barslet out, but his injuriesproved fatal.
Residents and regulars hadmixed feelings on the direc-tion of the neighborhood Sun-day afternoon. “I would say,yeah, it is getting more vio-lent,” said Chuck Smith, whohas worked in the area for 23years and said he has recentlyseen a proliferation of rowdybars. “Because of all the night-clubs and stuff they have
down here ... It’s a whole lot toOld City that's crazy, as far asthe people they attract.”
Still, many people taking inthe sights Sunday were bliss-fully unaware of the recent in-cidents. “I get very upset tohear it because I live in CenterCity,” Barbara Harris said.
Rife with historical attrac-tions, Old City is largely popu-lated by wandering groups oftourists during the day. Whenthe sun goes down, an entirelydifferent crowd comes out,
more interested in takingshots than tours. There are atleast 80 bars and clubs packedinto the less than one-halfsquare mile area, according tothe Old City District website.
“I don't think it’s gettingmore violent, there's just toomany of these bars,” Harris
echoed. But when asked if shewould feel comfortable walk-ing in Old City at night, shesaid, “Only with my pepperspray in hand — I never gowithout it.”

Chinatown was burstingwith color yesterday duringits 14th annual Fujian HoyuFolk Culture Festival, a cele-bration imported from Chi-na's Fujian province honor-ing those that came beforeand asking them to bringprosperity to their commu-nity through dance, songand re-enactments.
"This festival is 700 yearsold," said John Testino ofCheung's Hung Gar Kung FuAcademy, whose membersperformed the traditional li-on dance during a paradethat marched from 12th andVine to 10th and Archstreets. "But everyone's real-ly buzzed up this year — it'sthe first time there's been astage and a sound system.I've never seen all this."
Men and women in silkrobes and wearing masks orface paint danced and sang infront of a row of men dressed
in military uniforms, similarto that of the general. At onepoint, the crowd rushed tothrow small red packets intoa blanket, which was flungup on the stage.
"We're offering thesepacks of money to our godsand ancestors," Cheung said."We hope they receive it be-cause it's in a red blanket —red is a very important colorin Chinese culture — andthat they send the sameprosperity on to us."
Everyone seemed to be inagreement that it was impor-tant to keep the traditionalive, to share with both out-siders and their own people."We really want to reach outto Americans and childrenwho don't know the languageanymore," Cheung said.
"Now, America is ourcountry, so we bring our cul-ture to our family," Chansaid. ALEX WIGGLESWORTH

Annenberg’s West Coastestate opened for public
‘Sunnylands,’ will still hostinternational dignitaries Publicwill get to walk grounds in MarchSunnylands, the baronial Ran-cho Mirage home of the lateWalter and Lenore Annenberg,two of Philadelphia's great 20thcentury philanthropists, willopen to the public for the firsttime March 1.
The first session of publicviewings at the West Coast es-tate of Walter Annenberg, whowas head of a vast media em-pire that included the Philadel-phia Inquirer and TV Guide, isalready sold out. Tickets for thesecond session that begins laternext month go on sale March 1.
Besides public tours, the An-nenberg trust is modeling itselfafter Camp David, the presiden-tial retreat that has been thescene of many peace talks.
Elizabeth Kabler, the grand-daughter of the Annenbergsand the youngest trustee ofSunnylands, explained, "We arehoping that the beauty, tran-quility, and peacefulness of theestate will facilitate dialogueand diplomacy between worldleaders, particularly from thePacific Rim because of ourproximity."
The U.S. Supreme Court al-ready holds an annual retreathere. Since the Mexican andAmerican presidential elec-
tions coincide this year, we areholding a summit with highlevel attendees from both coun-tries.
Although Nixon appointedher grandfather as ambassadorto England, she stressed the bi-partisan nature of the retreat.
"Invitees to the opening fes-tivities ranged from U.S.Supreme Court Justice AnthonyKennedy, former Secretary ofDefense George Schultz, LosAngeles Mayor Anthony Vil-laraigosa, singer John Legendand the head of the United Ne-gro College Fund Michael Lo-max," said Kabler, who fondlyrecalled being inspired to danceat the age of 8 by the beauty ofthe Van Gogh paintings andRodin statutes in the house.
Kabler, an art consultant,said her grandparents, whohave endowed most of thecity's leading cultural institu-tions, established the center be-cause "they loved America."
The Annenbergs, seen here with former President Bill Clinton,established Sunnylands as a place for world leaders to meet.
Prominent guests
The Annenbergs, particularlyduring Walter Annenberg'stime as U.S. ambassador toGreat Britain, hosted manydignitaries and luminaries.Among the long list of visitors and parties:
Seven American presidentsand British Prime MinisterMargaret ThatcherThe British royal family andPrince Grace (Kelly) of MonacoFrank Sinatra’s fourth weddingPresident George H. Bush'sstate dinner for the JapanesePrime Minister Kaifu

General hitsquadruple digitsThis year was especially sig-nificant for revelers.
"We celebrate our general,his 1,000-year happybirthday," Mabel Chan said,who, like many others, tookto the outdoor stage at 10thand Vine streets andperformed a traditionaldance as a tribute to a 10thcentury provincial leader.
"Our whole countrycelebrates him. We ask himto bless us with good luckand happiness — and lots ofmoney, too."
"The general is one of ourancestors from China," JoiCheung said. "He built, fromthe ground up, the city thatwe all came from." That cityis Fuzhou, capitol of China'sFujian province, she said.The province's Hoyu was al-so well-represented. METRO

US soldierswoundedin violenceover KoranburningSeven U.S. military trainerswere wounded yesterdaywhen a grenade was thrownat their base in northernAfghanistan, police said, asanti-Western fury deepenedover the burning of the Koranat a NATO base.
Despite an apology fromU.S. President Barack Obama,riots raged across the countryfor a sixth day yesterdayagainst the desecration of the
Muslim holy book at a NATOair base at Bagram. Some pro-testers hoisted the white Tal-iban flag.
The Afghan Interior Min-istry identified one of its em-ployees as a suspect in the fa-tal shooting of two U.S.officers in its headquarters aday earlier, an attack thatprompted NATO to recall itsstaff from ministries.
One civilian was killed, 15more were wounded andthree policemen were injuredin riots near the NATO base innorthern Kunduz province,where the blast that woundedthe Americans took place, re-gional police chief Samihul-lah Qatra told reporters.

Sixty-nine percent ofAmericans considerbalancing the budgeta top priority, accord-ing to January’s Pew
poll, citing a figure that hasrisen steadily from 53 per-cent in 2007. For the firsttime, the budget is now onpar with terrorism andtrumped only by the econo-my and jobs in importanceto Americans.
And who do Americanstrust most to handle thesehighest of political priori-ties? Republicans have longdominated Democrats in
perceived trustworthinesson national security, whileboth parties have been in avirtual tie for the last yearwhen it comes to the econo-my, jobs and balancing thebudget.
Republicans, howev-er, have begunpulling ahead of De-mocrats in trust-worthiness on the
budget, according to a newAP-GfK poll released Thurs-day. While President Obamaand the Republican primarycandidates have both prom-ised to balance the budget,Americans seem to findthose promises easier to be-lieve when they’re made byRepublicans.
But Americans’ trust inRepublicans is misplaced.According to an analysis bythe Committee for a Respon-sible Federal Budget compar-ing the various fiscal propos-als of the Republican pri-
mary candidates, only RonPaul has proposed policiesthat would reduce projectedU.S. debt over 10 years, by 9percent of GDP. Under NewtGingrich’s plan, debt wouldactually increase by a whop-ping 30 percent of GDP,while Rick Santorum wouldincrease the debt by 20 per-cent of GDP. Mitt Romney’splan would increase debt byonly 1 percent, but remem-ber — the candidates havepromised to drastically cutthe debt, not merely to in-crease it by less.
What about Presi-dentOba-ma?According
to CRFB’s analysis of hisnewly-released 2013 budget,the President’s plan also re-duces the debt by 9 percentof GDP — the same as RonPaul. That’s right — the Pres-ident and Ron Paul are the
only two candidates whosepolicies have any positivebalancing effect on the budg-et at all. At best, Romney’splan merely maintains thestatus quo, while Gingrichand Santorum make thingssignificantly worse.
So, to the 69 percent ofAmericans who care deeplyabout balancing the budget— don’t be so trusting. Can-didates love to run with scis-sors, but few are willing toput them to good use.

2 THE WORDMetro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip @dorothyatmetro [email protected]
While the world continuestheir celebration of the Oscarsand the best and brightest inHollywood, let’s take a mo-ment to look at the worst.Specifically, poor, poor AdamSandler, who is saddled withthe sad honor of earning 11Razzie nominations (a record!)for his various work as an actor,writer and producer on threemovies for 2011: “Jack and Jill,”“Bucky Larson” and “Just GoWith It.” Sandler received twoWorst Actor nominations, onefor “Just Go With It” and anoth-er for “Jack and Jill.” Oh, and healso received a Worst Actressnod for “Jack and Jill” (thebright side: at least he’s break-ing gender barriers).
His “Jack and Jill” co-stars,Katie Holmes and Al Pacino,each received a Worst Support-ing Actress and Actor nomina-tion for their work in the film,respectively. Way to bringdown Pacino, Sandler.
It’s time for Sandler to pick
up a copy of the 1998 edition of“Stop with the Fart Jokes:Transform Your Career and Be-come an Oscar Winner in NoTime” by Tom Hanks. Soon,he’ll be starring in “PunchDrunk Love II: Still Drankin’,”where he and Emily Watsonend up adopting a middle-ageddeaf, mute and blind trainhobo who teaches them thetrue meaning of life.

The 84th annual AcademyAwards opened with a very fa-miliar formula but it felt moretried than true. With Billy Crys-tal hosting the awards for theninth time, he barely strayedfrom tradition with a tone-deafsing-along parody of the ninenominated films — a gag heand other hosts have done yearafter year.
But the evening was notwithout laughs — Crystal’sstale jokes notwithstanding.The principle cast of “Brides-maids” managed to sneak injokes about how “size matters,”Emma Stone gamely flirtedwith Jonah Hill from the stageand the Christopher Guestcrew did a sketch about animagined focus group for “TheWizard of Oz.”
Also entirely predictablewere the wins for the biggestawards. Octavia Spencer andChristopher Plummer acceptedtheir awards for best support-ing actress and actor — both ofwhom were the predictedfront-runners in their cate-gories. And while Martin Scors-ese’s 3-D film “Hugo” sweptmost of the technical awards,Michel Hazanavicius’ much-
hyped, but little seen indie film“The Artist” took top honorsfor Best Original Score, Best Di-rector, Best Actor and Best Pic-ture.
A predictable showand obvious winners
BaronCohen’s redcarpet prankEveryone knew SachaBaron Cohen wouldn’t bewalking the red carpet inyour standard penguinsuit. After the ban hadbeen lifted on himappearing at this year’sAcademy Awards arrivalgauntlet in character, apublicity stunt for his up-coming movie “The Dicta-tor” seemed well in order.
Baron Cohen cued upto have a quick chit-chatwith Ryan Seacrest. Bear-ing an urn with the faceof Kim Jong-il, he said hebrought the deceasedleader’s ashes to the Os-cars red carpet because “itwas his dream to come tothe Oscars and be sprin-kled on the red carpetand on Halle Berry’schest, again.” He thenleaned in and spilled thecontents onto RyanSeacrest’s suit. Poor Ryanstared sadly at his suit,not believing what hadjust happened. For the fol-lowing four interviews allhe could talk about wasthe “Bisquick” that SachaBaron Cohen had justspilled on him. Tina Fey,Emma Stone, AntonioBanderas and MelanieGriffith just had to sym-pathize. METRO/HP

Here’s advice taken frommy new book, “Be Fearless:Change Your Life in 28 Days.”
Define your dream job. Be spe-cific. What it would entail? Doyou prefer working independ-ently or as part of a team? Doyou want to do something cre-ative or more analytical? Define
all aspects of this dream joband the qualities you seek in it. Surround yourself with peoplewho you think can help you.What mentors can you tap foradvice? How can you networkand meet people who can help?Ask other people how they got
to be where they are. You’llgain valuable advice knowinghow others have done it.Interview someone who hasthis dream job. Ask questionsthat will yield valuable infor-mation.

For example, if you al-ways wanted to be a journalist,reach out to your favorite com-muter newspaper and makeyourself available.

New York City-basedartist Margaret Peotmakes the bulk of herliving as a costume
painter for Broadway artists,figure skaters and circus per-formers. She loves her craft,and makes a good living at it,too. Plus, it provides her the se-curity to pursue her personalart: elaborate, time-consum-ing, allegorical woodcuts.
When she received her BFAfrom Miami University in 1986,she never could have predictedthat career. So, when Peot setout to write a career guide forvisual artists, she wanted toask searching questions of thereader rather than attempt todeliver clear-cut answers.
“The Successful Artist’s Ca-reer Guide: Finding Your Wayin the Business of Art” will beofficially released this week.The 224 pages are teemingwith worksheets and writingassignments intended to aidreaders in divining their true
calling, and they include scoresof interviews with a variety ofsuccessful, working artists.
“I love to read about peo-ple’s lives — how they gotfrom point A to point B. It’snever what you think. I startedinterviewing my friends, andthen people started referringme to extraordinary artists,”says Peot. “I kept discoveringpeople that were really mak-ing a decent living with theirartwork, and I wanted to sharesome of their wisdom. Theidea got picked up prettyquickly [by a publisher]. Ithink maybe because of thetimes we’re in, people are re-shaping their lives and thisbook rang a bell.”

No need forstarving artists“Artist’s Career Guide” isadamant that visual artists canlead healthy, financially stablelives. But, unlike other careers,
it is a journey that requires per-sonal tailoring — andintrospection.
“There’s something romanticabout the troubled artist living adifficult life,” explains Peot. “Butyou can’t sustain being a
tortured artist forever. I make it apoint to say, ‘Maybe you can ac-tually choose how you want tolive and have your dream, too.’”

Re: ‘When a pennysaved is ... wasted’
The Great Depression did notget as severe as it did becauseof “enormous amounts ofgovernment spending.” It gotthat way because ofprotectionist tariff increases,and because the federal gov-ernment raised taxes andslashed spending in a vain at-tempt to preserve the mone-tary gold standard. FDR’s NewDeal proposals were success-ful in getting the recoverywell under way by 1937. Hadit not been for governmentintervention and spending,many might have wound uphomeless, poor and starving.JON MELICK, VIA E-MAIL
Contrary to Kelly Donnoe’sview, progress was made inthe 1930s and starvation wasreduced; the error in 1937was agreeing to Republican
austerity at the wrong time.WWII spending was cutbecause the war ended; gov-ernment programs didcontribute. Housing, GI Bill,infrastructure and contribu-tion to technology resulted inmuch growth even with high-er taxes than today. HARRY THORN, PHILADELPHIA

A few NHL players have admit-ted that they have a bagpacked and waiting by theirfront door, just in case theyget traded before today’s 3p.m. deadline. Flyers wingerJames van Riemsdyk isn’t one.It looks like the Flyers have nointerest in moving him.
The 22-year-old forward
has been subject of trade ru-mors recently and some hadeven gone so far as to accusehim of embellishing his con-cussion to avoid a trade.
“You know, it’s funny whenpeople question your charac-ter who’ve never even metyou before,” van Riemsdyksaid recently. “One thing Ipride myself on is being ahard-working guy who hashigh character and when peo-ple say that about you, youcan only really just laughabout it and just let it roll offyou because I know what I’mall about and that’s not one ofthe things I’m about.
“I’m not selfish. If [a trade]has to happen, whatever, it’spart of the game. I’m just fo-cused on what’s going on nowand that’s helping the Flyerswin games.”
Van Riemsdyk will get araise next season when his six-year extension kicks in. Hiscap hit will jump from $1.65million to $4.25 million perseason. This year, he hasn’t
been able to match his effortsin last year’s playoffs — whenhe scored seven goals in 11playoff games — due to an in-jury-plagued season. He has 11goals and 13 assists in 41games this year.
While those nagging in-juries didn’t keep him frommissing many games, he stillhad to play through them.Missing 15 games with a con-cussion also gave him an op-portunity to rest. Since his re-turn, he’s played more like hisplayoff form last year than thebeginning of the season whenhe appeared to be struggling.
In Winnipeg, van Riems-dyk showed why the Flyersput so much stock in him as apower forward when he foundWayne Simmonds in the con-test’s final 10 seconds for agame-tying goal. Flashes likethat are what tell the Flyersthey need him for the rest ofthis season and beyond.

Charlie Manuel said RyanHoward’s upcoming checkupwith a foot and ankle special-ist was a “setback.” Yesterday,Phillies head trainer ScottSheridan clarified Howard’scondition. Howard is sched-uled to meet with Dr. MarkMyerson today in Baltimore.
“This is kind of a scheduledappointment,” Sheridan toldreporters. “He did not have asetback, and that’s why we’resending him there. It’s justsomething that happens aspart of the rehab process.”
Sheridan added that eventhough Howard has been tak-ing live batting practice, thechallenge will come when heattempts to run and cut. Hewouldn’t give any clues on a
timetable for Howard’s full re-covery or even speculate on anadjusted schedule for springtraining.
“I don’t want to put some-thing out there without Markseeing him first,” he said.“He’s the expert and I preferto have his input before sayingsomething like that.”

What was it — 10, 20 yearssince you took a driver’s edu-cation class? You passed yourexam, got your license andschool’s been out ever since.That’s a shame. You could usea little help behind the wheel.
Learn to be smoother, topay more attention and lookfurther up the road thanyou’re accustomed. Find outwhat to do when you hit iceand your car slides toward theembankment. (Answer: Turninto the skid, then counter-correct -- quickly! -- and repeat,if necessary, until the fish-tail-ing is under control.)
The only way to learn ispractice in a closed-off, safeplace. Because when it hap-
pens in the real world, it’s toolate.
It’s time to go back toschool. There are coursesaround the world that willteach even seasoned driversbetter car control tech-niques, for daily use on regu-lar roads. Unlike school daysof yore, you can have thetime of your life, pilotingCadillacs, Lamborghinis andPorsches — often on world-famous racetracks.
One of the most venerableU.S. driving schools is SkipBarber, which offers both car-control and racing classesaround the country, on leg-endary road courses like Con-necticut’s Lime Rock and
Monterey’s Laguna Seca.If you’ve got a new teen
driver or want a taste of basiccar control techniques, theMazda Driving School is anexcellent bet. At prices start-ing at $1,000, every driverwould benefit.
Instructors include thelikes of Hurley Haywood,who won the 24 Hours of LeMans three times and 24Hours of Daytona five times.He’s a great instructor, buthe doesn’t mince words.
“You’re a student who’sreally come a long way,” hesaid recently following acourse. “Because when wefirst met, you were a terribledriver.” BLOOMBERG
