South End Baseball Registration Starts This Weekend

Today is Thursday, March 24. Here are five things you need to know:

1. Cloudy skies and snow are predicted this morning, with a chance of rain and snow in the afternoon as well. Temperatures should reach the upper 30s and wind gusts up to 25 mph are expected.

2. A sure sign of spring: it's time to register for South End Baseball. This Saturday, registration will take place at at 10 a.m. for ages 7-9 and noon for ages 10-12. Players ages 13-15 can register at 10 a.m. at . Bring a glove and be ready to play! Click here for more info.

3. This Friday, head to the for "e" inc.'s third annual "Wild and Scenic Film Festival." Friday's festival, which runs from 6 - 10 p.m., kicks off with a panel discussion on fossil fuels and the future of energy moderated by WBUR host Robin Young. Saturday's screenings will be hosted by the Mass College of Art. Ticket sales support "e" inc.'s science and civics work with students in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville. Tickets and info can be found here.

4. interns are busy going through nearly 100 years worth of music clips from films like Star Trek, Forrest Gump, Chinatown, Mission Impossible, Love Story, Airplane, and more. Eventually, they’ll create an online database with detailed descriptions of the clips, music and audio notes, keywords to enhance search functionality, and everything else you’ll need to sort through the Paramount Pictures archives. The music library will make it easier for filmmakers and others to access music and obtain rights from the Paramount catalogue. I think it’s fair to call this a music win.

5. The Boston School Committee unanimously approved an $829.5 million budget for fiscal 2012, an $8.1 million increase from the current fiscal year. For the first time in BPS history, the district’s schools are being allocated funds under a formula known as "weighted student funding," ensuring equitable funding for all 56,000 students. Superintendent Carol Johnson called the new approach "a big win for the students of Boston."
