With Austerity Under Fire, Countries Seek a More Balanced Solution
Six years after the onset of the global financial crisis, economists and policymakers continue to fight bitterly over how to tackle the world's economic woes. Is fiscal stimulus or fiscal austerity the best medicine? Austerity advocates have largely won out -- until now. With many nations still struggling, and the findings of an influential study supporting austerity now under attack, backlash against that strategy is growing. The question is: Where can troubled countries go from here?From: May 22, 2013
Fueling Growth in Uncertain Times
Wall Street and Capitol Hill are in different cities, but where dialog on major economic issues is concerned, they might as well be on different continents. To bridge this gap, the Wharton School recently launched the Wharton Public Policy Initiative. On March 7, the Initiative hosted its first major event, the Wharton Economic Summit, in New York City. In this special report, Knowledge@Wharton covers themes from the Summit, which opened with a discussion on leadership between GE CEO Jeff Immelt and Michael Useem, director of Wharton's Center for Leadership and Change Management. Other articles -- based on sessions at the summit -- deal with health care, innovation, real estate and energy.From: May 01, 2013
The Natural Gas Boom: Cheap Energy, but at What Cost?
In the next year or two, there will be such a large surplus of natural gas and crude oil in the U.S. that the country won't "know what to do with it," said Anas Alhajji, chief economist at NGP Energy Capital Management, at the Wharton Economic Summit 2013. But John Deutch, former head of the CIA, pointed out that unconventional oil and gas production "involves very serious environmental impacts on air quality, water quality, community and land use." He added that there is also "a climate issue out there that is going to hit this world."From: April 30, 2013
A Need for Speed: Why Building More Roads Won't Conquer Gridlock
Everyone pays a price for road congestion, whether it's the tangible frustration felt by motorists or the substantial economic costs due to lost productivity. In a new working paper, Wharton real estate professor Gilles Duranton and his co-authors say that building more roads or expanding mass transit are not effective solutions to combating traffic. Instead, they suggest that cities need to take steps to adjust driver demand for travel to congested areas.From: April 24, 2013
Research Roundup: The Financial Impact of Social Impact
Social impact has become a buzzword in business, but what does the evidence say about the success of social impact initiatives? In separate research papers, three Wharton professors -- Deborah Small, Franklin Allen and Susan Wachter -- look at whether "doing good" means doing well in different contexts: When it comes to corporate image, are "nice" firms perceived as less likely to succeed? How can banks serve rural populations and remain profitable? And can something as simple as planting a tree in an urban setting bump up real estate prices?From: April 10, 2013
Same-sex Marriage: What's at Stake for Corporate America
The fact that nearly 300 U.S. corporations and other groups are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a portion of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) suggests that denying federal rights to same-sex couples is bad for American companies. What administrative, financial and social issues are affected by this debate?From: March 27, 2013
Whom Do Social Media Followers Belong to -- You, or Your Business?
When Pope Benedict XVI left the Vatican on February 28, his more than two million Twitter followers stayed behind. While hardly known for being cutting edge, the Vatican was prescient enough to set up a social media account that expressly belonged to the papacy and not to an individual pope. But recent legal skirmishes at companies using social media suggest that these boundaries are not always so clear. Who owns a Twitter or Facebook account when personal and business uses are blurred? When an employee quits, can he take his account -- and his followers -- with him? Wharton experts weigh in.From: March 13, 2013
Tracie McMillan on the 'American Way of Eating'
To report on food sourcing and access in the United States, author Tracie McMillan went undercover, picking garlic in the fields in California and working at a Walmart in Michigan and an Applebee's in New York. She published a book about what she learned from these experiences called The American Way of Eating. Knowledge@Wharton recently spoke with McMillan about how income level affects food consumption, who controls the food we eat and why the food system might be transformed if people threw away less food. (Podcast with transcript)From: March 06, 2013
Why Business Schools Teach Transparency but Practice Ambiguity
Is academic research really worth the money that students are unwittingly paying for it? Not according to Larry Zicklin, former chairman of Neuberger Berman, a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business and a frequent lecturer on ethics at Wharton. In this opinion piece, he points out that if faculty members assumed larger teaching workloads while doing less research, universities could deliver a college education at a fraction of the present cost.From: February 13, 2013
For the Global Economy in 2013, Happy Days Are Not Quite Here Again
Although the global economy is in better shape than it was during the worst days of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, don't expect to see a dramatic turnaround in 2013, say Wharton professors Mauro Guillen and Kent Smetters. In separate interviews with Knowledge@Wharton, they discuss some of the challenges that the U.S., Europe, China and emerging markets such as Brazil and India are facing going into the New Year.

Transform IT and Amplify Your Impact
Today's nonprofits and charitable organizations are facing tremendous challenges in addressing some of societies pressing problems and providing assistance to communities in need around the world. While striving to serve the public good, many nonprofits are facing shrinking budgets while managing the growing complexities of back-end IT requirements critical to their organization and stakeholders.
Reduce Cost and Improve Efficiency of Running a Datacenter
VMware's technology can help nonprofits reduce their overhead and simplify IT processes by freeing up more time and resources to devote to the mission of the organization rather than running a datacenter.
VMware virtualization solutions provide nonprofits with a platform to simplify datacenter operations, develop and manage cloud-based applications, and increase productivity in the datacenter.
Virtualization is the essential catalyst for cloud computing. As the virtualization leader, VMware builds on this solid foundation with platforms and solutions to power your cloud infrastructure, build and run robust cloud applications, and supply end-user computing as a cloud-based service. Cloud computing holds the very real promise of agile, efficient IT service delivery with dramatically lower complexity, significantly reduced costs, and much greater responsiveness. The key to realizing these advantages is tailoring the cloud model to work for your organization and your approach to IT.

Ciara is ready for battle in the new promo shots for her upcoming studio album, One Woman Army. The pop singer rocked a blonde mane and American patriotic-colors in both pics. In an interview with MTV, she dished on how her forthcoming album will be different and similar to her last compilations:
"This is the most vulnerable I've ever been in my life and career. And I'm so confident with being vulnerable. At one point in time, I was very afraid to be as vulnerable as I am. I really put my heart into this. This is almost like a journal, my own personal journal when you get this record. There were moments when I darn near cried writing songs. But it was really about pouring my heart into the record and letting the music lead me and take me away.
Ciara also revealed that her new single, "Sweat" will dropping any day now. Check out her second promo pic and MTV interview down below. Def looking forward to hearing that new music!

Even with the advancements in lighting technology, when it comes down to it, there really is no substitute for natural light. Yes there are some beautiful spaces that have effectively achieved the feeling of natural via well positioned lights, however there is nothing more satisfying then lying in your lounge room with the sun pouring through, evoking a warm, euphoric feeling that cannot be replicated.
In fact, many interiors suffer due to their shortage of natural light which is primarily due to the positioning of the building. So lucky for those who are in the planning stages of their dream home, or in the middle of renovations and extensions, you have the benefit of considering this beforehand.
According to Home Improvement Pages, though artificial light is an adequate substitute it does come at a cost and does not have the same quality and warmth as natural light.
"Natural light is not only more aesthetically pleasing it can also make your rooms seem that much bigger, as well as keeping you more positive and productive. Skylights, or variations on this theme, are the logical method of introducing natural light into your interior rooms."
Here are a few examples of natural light working to its optimum from our Decoration + Design Pinterest board.

It's great! Beautifully polished, and nicely designed, single-button, time-waster gameplay that's truly for all ages.
Some thoughts:
- Your live demos on the menu screen are excellent, but I experienced an annoying loading delay of about 2-3 seconds between each one. It's especially irksome when you're on a submenu (not looking at the demo at all) and the cursor freezes because of the background loading.
- When you switch one player's button to the button used by another player, they should swap buttons by default. Right now, if I set player 2 to use left mouse, player 1's button becomes invalid.
- You must add a CPU player option and/or a single-player mode. Even though it would be boring by comparison, I think most players will want the option to play their time-waster when no-one else is around, especially when first evaluating the demo. To make single-player at least somewhat worthwhile, you can always add a high score list.

Damn those Long Island ice teas!!
Local bar runs a drink special, offering Long Island ice teas for a pittance. Ever have those? Extremely dangerous to your judgement because there are four or so shots of booze in the glass and it doesn't taste like it. Tastes like ice tea, hence the name. Very easy to pound down a couple of `em before you realize what you're doing . . . and then it's too late.
Such was the case the other night when me and the spousal unit stopped by the place on the way home from work. I was thirsty, and chugged two tall ones and about half of my wife's. At home I was killing time waiting for the Cup game to start by cruising about Ebay looking a guitars -- you know where this is going, right? -- and the booze began kicking in, punching my ticket to Happytown with a stop at Dumbsh*tville along the way. As my liver shifted into hyperdrive trying to save brain cells from the onslaught, I came across a Standard in natural finish. Bad luck for me, since I'm a sucker for natural finishes. "Dang nice git, thought I. I want it." And I bid the minimum. Jeez. In the clear (relatively) light of a post-Long Island morning I realized I don't want another Standard. It was a true WTF face palm moment. Heck, sold my other Standard a few months ago because I wasn't playing it. I could only hope someone would raise the bid and save me from myself. As the days went on and no one bid, it became apparent I had a good chance to win. I even went into the Ebay Forum and mentioned the auction, hoping someone would bid. Alas, no one at MLP was drinking Long Islands and I won the git. And now I have a nice one on the way here, probably to gather dust until I re-post it on Ebay. I blame the bartender. And society. And bling's otter. |

Re: Damn those Long Island ice teas!!
Actually, it's 5 shots.
I'm not much of a drinker at all. I usually end up throwing beer out after a couple years, if nobody drinks it. But....I do like a LIIT (or three) every now and then.

The Jan. 8 meeting was also the first for the board's two newest members, District One Commissioner Kenneth Smith and District Three Commissioner John Dobbs, both of whom were elected to the posts during the 2012 election season.
Smith replaces former Commissioner Eric Robinson, who unsuccessfully challenged Chairman Allen Poole. Dobbs took the seat held by former Commissioner Vance Posey, who had survived a Democratic challenger during the primary, but who lost to Dobbs during the Nov. 6 general election.
The commissioners approved two separate budget amendments in which they added funds to the bottom line of several departments. One of these amendments involved what the board described as a $24,000 "windfall" for the county.
As explained by Poole and County Clerk Alison Palmer, a certificate of deposit (CD) was discovered when the West Georgia Regional Water Authority was discontinued a couple of months ago. That matured CD, with interest, amounted to $94,740.47.
The regional water authority was established in 1988 for the purpose of acquiring a regional water reservoir, and was composed of representatives from Haralson, Carroll, Paulding and Polk counties. The disbanding of the authority, however, led to the four governments dividing the CD equally, and Haralson's share amounted to $23,685.24.
Palmer explained that Haralson officials decided that "since this was kind of a bonus windfall that no one expected," the funds would be evenly distributed among the seniors in Haralson, Bremen and Tallapoosa, and among the libraries of Buchanan, Bremen and Tallapoosa, so that each of those six entities received $3,947.54.
The commissioners unanimously approved the disbursement of the funds according to the plan.
The other budget amendment, which amounted to $73, 858 dollars, covered several items, including:
• The transfer of salary and related funds to the Tax Assessor's office from the Road Department, following the transfer of a Road Department employee to the tax department.
• Allocation of $5,700 to the Tax Assessor's office for the hiring of a consultant.
• Funds for the continuation of a part-time person in the probation office involved in pre-trial hearings.
• Funding for an assistant to the district attorney for juvenile cases. This was part of an intergovernmental agreement with Polk County by which the two counties would split the cost on a 60/40 basis, with Polk paying 60 percent of the cost.
• A subsidy of $7,276 to the Health Department, to fulfill a promise that those funds would be provided when available.
• Funds for the Permits Office to cover office supplies used during an extensive mapping project.
In other business, the commissioners voted to give nine paid holidays to county employees during the year, in what they called a "token of appreciation" for the employees' hard work. Those holidays are: New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the day following Christmas.
District 2 Commissioner Jamie Bennett thanked the board for the action, noting that many county employees had not received raises in several years. She said providing the paid holidays was "the right thing to do" to show appreciation for the employees.
The commissioners also voted unanimously to reappoint Tallapoosa attorney Meng Lim as county attorney, and to re-appoint Alison Palmer as county clerk. The commissioners also chose District 4 Commissioner Sammy Robinson to serve as vice chairman of the board.
Also, the commissioners approved a new plan on splitting fees collected into the Victim Assistance Fund, giving the majority share to the District Attorney's office and the balance to the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program.
Funds for the Victim Assistance program comes from a five percent fee the county collects in addition to fines collected through its various court systems. County Clerk Palmer explained those fees can only be distributed to certified agencies.
One of those, she said, was administered by the district attorney, whose budget has been "severely cut" due to the loss of state and other grants. The other program is run by CASA, whose web site describes it as a program that supports abused and neglected children placed in foster care.
The plan unanimously approved by the commissioners will split the funds on a 90/10 basis, with the DA's office receiving 90 percent of disbursements from the fund and CASA receiving 10 percent. Previously, the organization had received 5 percent of the fund.

A new startup has launched hoping to disrupt the food services industry and democratize the experience of having a personal chef. Munchery aims to bring personal chefs to the masses, giving consumers a way to access high-quality meals delivered to their home by professionals.
For most of us, employing a personal chef is not financially possible. But many consumers don't have the time, patience or interest to cook healthy, delicious, well-balanced meals. Carry-out is an option, but this doesn't ensure the quality of the food. Munchery allows personal and professional chefs to sell their meals online, upload menu choices, set minimum orders (you order by meal), specify areas where they deliver, schedule of delivery, and more.
Consumers can search for chefs by the zip code they deliver to (the site currently features chefs in the San Francisco Area), and will eventually be able to browse chefs by city when the site expands. Once you select a meal and quantity, Munchery takes care of the payment process, but chefs and consumers coordinate the delivery process.
Currently, Munchery features personal chefs, caterers, and even chefs who work in restaurants. Here's Dennis Lin from San Francisco's Burmese Kitchen). Co-founder Tri Tran says that each chef has to cook in a commercial kitchen, and be accredited. Meals range from $12 to $22, but Munchery is offering $10 off for every first meal purchases through Munchery. Consumers can also choose to order multiple meals per week to lower the price.
This isn't the first startup that aims to bring professionally cooked food to homes. Gobble also offers an online marketplace for home-cooked food. I love this idea. Similar to AirBnB democratizing housing and apartment rentals or Uber brings private car services to the masses , Munchery and Gobble are able to bring the experience of a personal chef to those who would otherwise not be able to afford this luxury. Scaling the service will undoubtedly be a challenge for Munchery, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they can expand beyond San Francisco.
Munchery is a marketplace for home-delivered meals from local professional chefs. http://www.munchery.com Munchery's mission is to bring the personal chef experience to everyone. Eating delicious and healthy food from a professional chef shouldn't be a luxury or dream. Instead, we're reinventing things through an online marketplace where you can purchase meals prepared daily by chefs and have it delivered for that night. Munchery's kitchen is constantly invigorated with new entrees, sides, and desserts from a diverse array of cuisines using fresh ingredients...

Progress on Ocean City Beach Replenishment Project
Crews are pumping sand around the clock to restore eroded beaches in the Gardens section of Ocean City.
Darby T.
8:18 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
Well at least all those taxpayers in The Gardens who rent to our life's blood tourists will have some beach this year.
Jeff Monihan
8:43 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
Want to bet that the north end gets another replenishment after this one, before a permit application for a south end project is even submitted?
9:16 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
The north end - the Gardens. ocean City exists for the prosperity of the north end and the Gardens. The families with the Insurance companies who have made a fortune selling insurance to the 2nd homeowners held in such disrepute here and the boardwalk merchants who run the island for their own benefit. Yes. How nice that the north end and Gardens are doing ok while the south end sits here at risk of a catastrophic loss with no beach and no dunes for protection. If ever there was a blatant example - here it is. Our roads have been neglected and the drainage problems never dealt with our beaches diminishing yearly - and our taxes going to the benefit of the north end and Gardens and boardwalk. This is not just this administration. This has been going on forever and it is reprehensible. Mayor Gillian - this falls on your shoulders now to correct generations of neglect and you don't have much time.
9:17 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
And the ACE don't need permits. They can issue their own permits. They need this mayor to let them know in no uncertain terms that this is an emergency!
South End Citizen
9:23 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
Sucker's bet, Jeff. Not even with odds. I think we can all stop holding our breath now. Nothing's going to happen. Did anyone cath the 57th St. Beach Cam yesterday? A front end loader was dumping piles of sand at water's edge at low tide. I've seen kids build bigger piles to make tunnels. Those piles were half gone a couple of hours befroe high tide and there's no evidence they were there at all today. It's pathetic.
When the Mayor sent out his plea to unite, I empathized. But I realize now we need a response to an emergency situiation, in a word: Leadership. Not a write your Congressman campaign.
South end rules
3:08 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
What you saw yesterday at the waters edge was excess sand left when sand was taken from the waters edge and dropped at the dudes. This process is called sand harvesting.
Debra Kleeman
9:24 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
All this for the north end, while we at the south end continue to see our beaches erode and our homes and properties at risk with no sign of a beach replenishment project on the horizon.
9:58 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
Ah, so the corps of engineers continues to ruin surfing and fishing in ocean city for another two years till the sand settles down and begins to migrate normally again. And then there are the broken shell bit causing laceration on tourists and the major risk of spinal injury in the new pounding shore break...... The CoE, screwing up the environment with their one size fits all beach dumping......don't worry south end, the north end sand will be yours soon.
10:07 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
The Corps' purpose in dredging is for navigation. That is behind the dredging and putting the sand on the beach to dispose of it. The sand has migrated south but isn't on the beach. There is a sand bar instead and that does help stop the Ocean a bit but we need a wide beach and dunes for protection. We need our mayor on the doorstep of the ACE and our gov reps. Mr Gillian, have you taken a ride to DC? You need to leave OC and do some real meaningful work.
South End Citizen
10:15 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
CTA: I wish that were the case. We'd be like Wildwood Crest by now. Unfortunately it flows down and "bulges" in the middle of the island. The littoral current gets pushed outwards and actually has an almost opposite effect the further south you go. It also affects the surfing and fishing down there too, because we end up with sandbars further off the shore line. We sort of have wading pools at mid tide and the waves breaks are further out.
Another dangerous situation as sometimes swimmers go out to the sand bars and don't realize how far out they are when the tide comes in.
11:16 am on Sunday, February 24, 2013
I don't think the city has the resources to deal with both a north end and a south end that got wrecked by a full moon dead-on hurricane which we all knew would occur someday. The problem in the north end was actually caused by beach replenishment....They dredged the sand bar off Waverly in the late '90's and early '2000's..result? ...big waves, a surfing beach (thanks Charlie), and big destruction when the storms come. I know, because when I was a crazy surfer kid, I couldn't surf Waverly (where I lived) no waves...I had to lug my board all the way down to 4th street to have any fun.
I think/ I hope that because you south enders have a sandbar, then maybe your OK for now but I'm thinking maybe a jetty horizontal to the shoreline might be the answer. It's just a terrible situation and I feel bad for everyone who has to deal with this. But, again, I don't think our city was prepared for this. Kind of like Chief Brodie wasn't prepared for that big shark.
12:16 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
The city has always neglected the south end. They take the taxes and neglect the roads, drainage issues, beaches, dunes and then some on council like Ping and Hartzell want to take the protective wetlands too. But of course they are trying to please those who promise them votes and have no regard for the property owners. After all, many are just 2nd homeowners who get no respect in this town anyway. It is a rotten situation and I personally am relying on our Mayor and Business Manager to change this dynamic but they better move quickly before any more catastrophes occur. They have no time to waste
Richard Jacoby
7:41 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
What CITY services do you not receive that the north does? Road work? Police protection? Fire protection? Trash collection? Representation? Beach replenishment is not one of them since this is controlled by the Feds. I was surprised that we were getting anything this year, since north jersey was hit so much worse than us. Try to keep in mind that we have many towns that were demolished and have bigger problems than no high tide beach to lay on. This towns lucky it got anything this year.
Mariette Davignon
12:58 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
All I want to know is if the beaches will be accessible when we go to Ocean City at the end of May. We will be living at Ocean Front Motel near 14th Ave. How will it be there? We were there one year and it was a mess, the beaches were being reconstructed, it smelled bad, it was noisy and very unpleasant. I understand this has to be done, but I would rather go later in the season if need be. We love O.C. Thank you and good luck.
Richard Jacoby
7:08 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
They generally are. We usually see one or two beaches closed while they work n it. By May you shouldn't have a problem.
2:58 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
Ask the Mayor, Mariette. he knows all of the answers. His office tells us, the residents, to not speak out. So, ask the Mayor. Then hold him to what he says to you.
Rich M
3:20 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
Steve is sending the right message. We at the south end deserve the same treatment as the rest of the island. We pay the same taxes and should get the same hurricane Sandy relief that everyone on the Jersey shore is expecting to get. Come on Mayor, make it happen!!!!
Richard Jacoby
7:12 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
This isn't hurricane sandy relief. Unless you like some other freaks on this site think major Jay is responsible for the hurricane See he has a weather factory in his office at Wonderland.
South End Citizen
6:30 pm on Sunday, February 24, 2013
Some direct email adresses for NJ representation. Many (including the governor) can only be sent via their websites. The Dept. of State adress is Kim Guadagno's office. Maybe highlighting the bad publicity will help.
7:41 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
Hey mister Mayor, heres an idea. The money that the city is spending to dredge the lagoons, in the north end so that the north enders can park their boats behind their houses using everyones tax money, how about sending that dredge to the south end and get our beaches and dunes back so that we even have houses to go to. Stop using the whole city's tax money to only take care of the north end.
Chris M
8:20 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
Me me me. Me me me me me me me me me me me me. The mayor sucks. The rant from the south.
8:24 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
LMFAO. Always so willing to take from others. Rather than getting in line and waiting their turn.
Chris M
8:35 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
If your own beach replenishment project doesn't come fast enough for your liking. Blame the mayor and steal someone else's. the bay has been waiting for the dredging for years. Get in line.
Chris M
8:39 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
How about not spending the money on tv advertising right now. And save that cash for sand.
8:54 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
There is one answer! I am sure there are others. Advertise for beaches, then have beaches- north to south.
8:52 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
This is not about taking from other citizens on this island. The bay, the Northend, the Southend, all one Island. Chris, as a Southend Resident, I do not begrudge you what is needed for the Bay or the Northend. There is just something that is not "kosher" about all of this. Many mixed messages from City, State and Federal Government Officials, many contradictory comments from the same. I can assure you, the deep Southend Beaches were severely eroded prior to Sandy. The storm only exasperated the situation. Have you ever felt like you are getting the runaround? This is how I personally feel. This also not about "waiting your turn". It is truly a shame that all of the governments from federal to state to city, couldn't stop and assess all of the problems post sandy, and "triage" the needed work. If they had done this, if a plan was made for all involved that was logical and well thought out, I think everyone would feel supported.
Chris M
11:29 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
Actually Ken, I believe Lumpy's comment does begrudge the Bay residents. He states he wants to take away their project to fund his own. That's begrudging in my book. As far as assessing all post Sandy problems, perhap the Government has assessed and deterimined that North New Jersey is in more need that Ocean City NJ and that's where the extra money is going. Not that this government has any extra money.
10:31 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
Some of you people - Chris M. Richard - just really missing the point here. The beaches in the north end have been consistently replenished. I don't know if the south end has ever been replenished but before Sandy the beaches from 50 south were non-existent. This not the same as dredging the lagoons for recreational boating. This is about life and property. This is a safety issue. So comparing it to dredging the lagoons is ignorant. Unfortunately, Ocean City has its share of ignorance and it is sometimes displayed here on the Patch. No one is blaming the Mayor for the hurricane but every administration going way back has ignored the south end of the island and taken good care of the north end. It is now on this Mayor's shoulders to fix that. These petty remarks are just that - petty. Get a grip, guys. You sound like real fools
10:51 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
blame it on Lautenberg. He is on the house of appropriations and didn't even get money appropriated for his own state's dredging project before Sandy. That leaves the city and state paying for these expensive projects by themselves. He is useless for the needs of us South Jersey residents. This would have never happened if Bill Hughes was still in congress
Chris M
11:43 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
The north end needed sand every bit as bad as you and quite likely worse. If the south end wants sand then start the process. This replenishment project wasn't scheduled as a result of Sandy nor was the bay project. I have been to both ends of the island and your beach is no worse than the north. How many people are on beach in the area of 1st to 14th st compared to 50 to 59th. Hell, the city's main parking lot dumps them on 5th st and there is no beach there at all I am not from either area and it's quite simple to figure out where to put the sand first, not that it's the city's choice anyway Posting comments on here bashing the mayor will get you nowhere so keep up the good work. As if he doesn't want to get sand on the south end beach. It's ludicrous
Chris M
11:59 am on Monday, February 25, 2013
People who purchased homes in the extreme south end did so because they wanted to be away from the main beat and path of OC. When you made that decision you must have known that you wouldn't receive the same attention as the main part of the island. All decisions have an up and down side. For example, if your house is in a very low populated area and you had a power outage as a result of Sandy, you probably would have waited quite a bit longer to have power restored. The power company is going to put its resources in the area where it has the most effect first. As such, the city has to put most of its services where the most people are. Many people commenting on this article would divert the North project and instead replenish the south end. That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. This thought comes from the ME FIRST mentality that has infected this country. I can't even imagine if a catastrophic event occurred. Sandy was no picnic but it's certainly not the worst thing that can happen. Not by a long shot
1:15 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Seriously, Chris, you have now stated that because we live in the Southend, we do not receive the same attention as the rest of the Island. Have you met the parking lots at 57th and 59th streets? Have you seen the numbers of people who flock to these beaches? Residents from other parts of Ocean City, drive to 56-59th street beaches. 56th street beach is a "proclaimed" surfing beach. The cars come from off the Island and on Island. Other than Lumpy, I do not recall anyone asking for the Northend Replenishment to stop and be moved to the Southend. You are correct, the far North and far South beaches were hit hardest. Your initial statement in this post, and I quote, "People who purchased homes in the extreme south end did so because they wanted to be away from the main beat and path of OC. When you made that decision you must have known that you wouldn't receive the same attention as the main part of the island." Sums it all up for us- we have been neglected. Thank you for recognizing this. If this is truly how you feel, would you mind speaking up to Ocean City Officials and letting them know the Southend taxes should be less than the northend?
Richard Jacoby
2:20 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Ken, if there are less homes in the south than the taxes collected from the south are obviously less
Richard Jacoby
2:32 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
I guess thoses residents that drive from other parts of the island to use the southern beaches wont be able to this year. The world is going to end I guess the people that go onto a article regarding the North's beach project and load it with chronic complaining must not have learned the differance between the Federal Government, State Government and Local Government. This is a Federal program. YOur blaming the major and its not up to him. The city CANT pay for any 10 to 15 million dollar beach program. If you want to pay for it than by all means do so but unless the Feds are funding this program I dont want sand anywhere. Imagine the amount of a local special tax assessment for a project of this nature, than realize that any sand put on the beach will be gone by next year anyway. Are you peopling new to this town. The north loses its new sand by Labor Day most years they replenish.
Richard Jacoby
2:54 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
I dont know how anyone could have a problem with what you just stated. Its true! its also true that in the two articles addressing the beach project, many comments have been made suggesting that the soulth should have received to project and the North always gets it. To me, that is saying they wanted to divert the replentishment project to the south. Having worked with the government for 20 years or more, I have never seen them just add on to a project mid stream. Maybe some on here have but most things move very slow when the Fed in involved
3:01 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Ken, I thought you (also) stated that the south end does not get the same attention as the North End, I think Chris is acknowleding that fact and putting forth a reason for it
1:08 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Chris you are something. There is a way to "add on" to the beach replenishment that is going on right now. Not do the south end instead of - but add on. And no - since we pay taxes we expect the same services as the rest of the island. It is cute that you think you have to defend the mayor, but this neglect of the south end has gone on for many, many administrations so it is up to the Mayor now to protect all the citizens and their property. And no - no one moved to south end to be ignored just wanted some quiet but still wanted services for our tax dollars which is fair and reasonable to expect.
3:26 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
It is very rare to see add ons when a project is underway. The idea would be great but my gut tells me it's unlikely. It would be quite an accoplishment for Mayor Gillian to pull that off, but who knows.
3:30 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
I also think that you do get the same services from the local officals. This undertaking is not financially funded by your local government body for the most part. If we could get you southern residents a $10 to $15 million beach project for 1/10th the bill, I am sure it would be done
1:18 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
And if you cannot imagine a "catastrophic event" you must have missed the pictures of the aftermath of Sandy to the north of Ocean City. There were not catastrophic losses in Ocean City but there were serious losses and people suffered and not to be dismissed by you (you have a bit of the ME ME ME thing, yourself there, Buddy)
Richard Jacoby
2:42 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
If you think this event was catastrophic for you than you have lived a very sheltered life. Exactly how many lives where lost in OC. 9/11 was catastrophic for New York. . Now imagine an earthquake off the coast causing a tsunami to come on shore during July 4th weekend. That's catastrophic
3:48 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
I would not define Sandy's effects on Ocean City as Catastrophic. Northern Jersey much more so. I tend to associate it with large loss of life. Your tsunami example would likely qualify. Ocean City got very lucky in this storm, we should all be thankful of that. Just a few month after the storm the city is advertising its open for summer business. Norhern New Jersey will not be so lucky

3:27 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Rich- I believe the comments that "the north end always gets replenishment and the southend does not" were not to take from the northend, but to simply state the fact. Again, no one I know who lives in the southend wants to see the northend lose out on needed sand. it is a small island, we don't want to lose any of it! If you look at the numbers of cubic yards of sand for the northend compared to the southend, it is crazy- current "score"- since 1992- southend 663,000- northend 13,871,000 and this does not include the current project.
2:56 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Richard, I have been respectful throughout this dialogue. The southend pays their taxes just like the northend. We need to stop making this a north vs south issue. It is not. Read what Chris wrote about the southend. In his mind, we are to expect less from the city because we live in the Southend. That is absurd. The problem is now we are in "reaction mode". The City knew about the problem in the southend for 8+ years. The Stockton College Coastal Report has been studying these beaches and reporting on them. All I am asking is that they tell us publicly what they have done on our behalf. It is not a hard question. You work, I am sure and if you were asked what you did to help with a specific issue, I am sure you could reply. The answer of : "we are working on it" is vague. All of out taxes paid for the bay dredging last summer- no federal/state funding. Ocean City Patch, May 3,2012-
City Council Approves $1.8 Million Dredging Project
City Council authorizes a contract to dredge shallow water on the bay side of Ocean City.
By Douglas Bergen
City Council on Thursday awarded a $1.8 million contract to dredge parts of Ocean City's back bay. Many channels and lagoons on the bayside are impassable to boat traffic at low tide. City Council voted unanimously. The project would include dredging in an area between 16th Street and 34th Street. "This is not a long-term solution," Dattilo said. "We're working diligently toward a long-term plan."

Ken, I hate to brake it to you. It's the comments on these write ups by the southern residents that have invoked this north end / south end controversy. Can you think of one reason the Mayor would not want to restore the beaches in the South? Other than not having the funds, i can't.
You mention a 1.8 million dollar bay dredging contract. What would 1.8 million do for your beaches. Not much I imagine. The bay has long been waiting for the dredging of that area and it is desperately needed. I suspect that project will have longer lasting effects than any beach replenishment project. 1.8 million might get a couple beach blocks some sand, but that will be gone after the first storm. We both know that, Right?
I cant tell you how many years I have watched them pump sand onto the beach, then watched it disapear after one summer. These are very expensive temp fixes. Since they are exactly that (expensive temp fixes) I would really prefer the city not to go broke ( and as such brankrupt us the taxpayer) for these beach projects. The Mayor clearly needs state and federal funding to persue any such project. We should all understand that fact.
8:07 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Rick, what properties were in jeopardy prior to the bay front dredging? Time and time again we are told that the dredging MUST be to protect property and people, not for recreational purposes. The cost to replenish the deep southend 49-59th streets would be @ $4.5 million. This would be to get the beaches back to their 1995 condition, which was a healthy beach and dune. 50% of this cost would be to get the beach back to pre-sandy condition, not so good. We have been told that FEMA pays 75% of the cost to get to pre sandy condition. %75 of $2.25 million is about $1.70 million. So, the cost to dredge these beaches that have NO dune and significant erosion, is now $2.8 million. The city has stated they have put away $750,000 for a dredge project. We are now looking at another $2,050,000. The bay was dredged, it is done and great for the homeowners there. Where did the city come up with the money for this- tax base. Next, if the city were to take the dredge already here and contract it, we are also told that saves significant money. I do not have the answers. You are right, it is "just a beach" and God willing, there are no further storms. But, live on the ocean side of Central Avenue, in the 50"s, and you realize that right now we are playing "russian roulette". I guess this is the bet that all are willing to take- that there will be no significant storms, including nor'easters, in the next year or two while government officials- state, federal,city execute a successful plan.

I don't think anyone wants to divert. But IF they actually do something in the South End, it'll be more expensive to do it later. The Post Sandy situation is an emergency for which there are emrgency funds. Somewhere between the City, Sate and Washington, there has to be a way to expedite this while we have the money. Given the current budget issues in Washington, we may NEVER see federal funding for the already approved project for the South End. The last time it was done was a Sate/City partnership. My guess is the City is willing to keep the band aids on the South End to avoid having to pay 25% vs. 8%. It's a game of fiscal chicken.
My fear is that if we don't do it now, it's simply not going to happen in the forseeable future.
I agree with the previous post that the bulk of tourists are between 1st and 14th. I'm not trying to begrudge that area. But I can understand why others might question the tourist density between the Longport Bridge and say, Seaspray Rd. And as Richard said, that sand's always gone by Labor Day. But I would'nt presume to say folks in The Gardens want to be off the beaten path or suggest that it should be sea-walled like Avalon's and Anglesea's inlet exposed sections.
This isn't "me first", it's "us, too." It's been eight years! In fact, money that was SUPPOSED to be budgeted for a "future" South End project was used to rebuild the dunes on Atlatic Ave when they got blown out a couple of years ago.
Me first?. I's been "after you" for long enough!
5:33 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
I agree with most everything you said. I just don't know that state of federal funding is that easy to obtain at this late hour. If it is, I hope it gets done
4:37 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Apparently, the NJDEP and ACE right now are told to do what was already lined up as projects for replenishment. That leaves out the south end and once again brings up the question - why wasn't the south end one of the projects all set to go before the storm? And once again brings up the same answer as to why our roads are a mess and the drainage problems are never solved - simply the north end of the island is the priority and Richard - grow up - this is not about you or north vs south this is about all the previous administrations making the north end the priority and neglecting the south end. If you want to act like you are in 3rd grade, Richard, which apparently you do, you can say it is north vs. south but it is a fact that the south end beaches should have been in line for replenishment (not instead of north end but in addition to the north end) and they were not so now there is no date set for replenishment. This means that one good noreaster could flood the whole south end because there is no protection. I am really upset about this - angry that we were not even in line anywhere so that now we blow in the wind while they blow sand onto the north end and have no hope for us in the near future
6:01 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
You don't hold resentment for the North end getting sand when you didn't? Read your post again. It reads as though you feel we butted in front of you in line. You scowled Richard, yet turn around and call him names. Do you believe your list of problems in the south only applies to the south? The south end of the island is what? About two blocks wide. You will always be threatened by any storm because of the geographic location
4:44 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
And the reason no Mayors have cared about the south end: 1. Many 2nd homeowners, non-vote producing 2. The local old time families with all the clout live in the north end and Ocean City is just a little town with the insiders club and the outsiders - they all pay the same tax but there are different rules for each. 3. The boardwalk is the priority putting cash in the pockets of those who make decisions about the town (and always has been) These people take really good care of themselves and each other - none of them live in the south end of Ocean City. So Rick or Richard - unless you are one of the chosen ones - old locals who have made good money over a couple generations, or one of the hot shot developers or one of the biggest realtors who lives in OC full time - I wouldn't knock myself out defending anyone or anything because they don't really care too much about you either.
4:45 pm on Monday, February 25, 2013
Ken you misinterpretted what I said. I said pull the dredge from the lagoons, not the north end beaches. Save the southend propertys and not just dredge a deeper channelr for some people to pull their boats into the rear of their homes. As several people have already stated we pay the same tax rate as the north end.

I was OBSESSED with miniature dolls, when I was a little girl in the 70′s. Does anyone remember the small dolls that came inside pieces of jewelry? They were called Liddle Kiddles and came inside of brooches, earrings, bracelets, and later even ice cream cones and perfume bottles.
I got my first complete set in 1971, when we visited Montana State University in Bozeman, for a six-week institute, my Dad was a HS administrator. My brother and I were lonely, having no one to play with, and were probably driving my Mom crazy. My Mom took us to see the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, one hot summer afternoon. After the movie my brother insisted on getting the CCBB car he had seen earlier at the toy store. I, of course, wanted it also. It had miniature figures of each character inside but, I didn't let on. I had my eye on the shiny plastic mirror & earrings,Liddle Kiddle set. I'm sure my Mom knew that she was going to have to go back to the student housing, with two tired kids, and nothing to do so, she bought both toys!
That started my collection, and it was added to, played with, and even one of them is buried in my backyard. It fell down a hole made by a swing set post. Remember those backyard swing sets? No one ever cemented them in, and when you swung the whole side rose up and down.
Anybody, remember their first toy love?

Purchase Reason
Picture hangs above bed to give a touch of feminism to the room, nothing over the top but a subtle touch of class. Will certainly buy more pieces from Art.co.uk if anything really catches my eye.
Purchase Reason
I never thought I'd hang artwork in the bathroom, but this piece is peaceful to look at so early in the morning. It makes me smile as I begin my day.
Purchase Reason
I searched for the perfect print for my bedroom when I decided to sell my house, I wanted a good quality print to compliment my newly decorated bedroom, and a good print to take with me to my new house. Buy with confidence, I am very happy with the product, the detail is great, colours are vivid and its not available in every shop window around for miles! Prompt delivery, what more can I say!
Purchase Reason
When I purchased this painting it was meant for the living room but it's been in my bedroom there ever since :)
Purchase Reason
loved the original piece and was delighted to see the colour twist on this one, we used it to contrast with an accent wall and to complement the rest of the decor. was very impressed with the workmanship and delviery was bang on time.

The little brother of 'brother espresso' - but of equal superb quality!!! You guys are good, parking is an issue, but that's the inner city curse. Terrific quality coffee, top service and less pretentious clientele than over at Hawthorne/ Bulimba.
Really like stopping here for breakfast and coffee when I get the chance. Coffee is always good - very consistent. Service is relaxed, yet always relaxed and attentive.
So good and extremely consistent.
My first time back here since these guys opened a year and a half ago. Blown away by the quality of the coffee being served here. These guys have really come into their own. Had an few on the El Salvador that was really buttery and smooth in texture. Then had a few on their houseblend which was... Read more

Located in an unassuming building that looks like an air raid shelter this is a good find and worth the effort to find it. I like to have a coffee when they are roasting a batch of beans it\'s like having coffee in stereo. Great taste and you\'re being enveloped in the aroma.
I have regularly visited Fifth Battery since they opened. As a standard the coffee has been excellent and I really enjoyed the flavour of the Fifth Battery Blend. Over the past few weeks the blend has altered with the new season beans, and the result - awesome!

Great spot for breakfast or lunch in the courtyard out the back. The service is friendly and efficient. Coffee well made but not my favorite bean.

Have yet to be let down by the guys at Fifth Battery. Great coffee, funky atmosphere and good food. Whether you want a nice breakkie with coffee or a takeaway coffee this is the place to go. Had their new seasonal blend and was impressed by the mix of flavours and smoothness. No complaints at all!

This was my first visit to this venue. First impressions upon entering the premises on a hot Brisbane January day were: oppressive heat; and the structure of the building reminds me of WWII Nissen Huts – prefabricated steel structures made from a half-cylindrical skin of corrugated steel.
You gotta check this place out. Reminds me of great cafes in Melbourne - minimalist funky design and people serious about their coffee. Speaking of which it\'s just divine.
So had a small trek to find this place but once there the atmosphere was great. I thought we'd fallen at the first hurdle as the filter wasn't great but the parting Long Black we amazing. So yeah you're in good shape with the Espresso! Nice spot to hang out but no Wifi!
Been here once or twice a week for the last couple of months. Coffee is usually good, though I've had a couple of nasty run-ins with long blacks. Food has been good (I keep coming back...), though I've had a couple of 'yesterdays' croissants - but good egg'n'bacon. Great building and surrounds -... Read more
The coffee is a whisker below my golden benchmark - a certain place in West End. Definitely coffee worth traveling for!
This is just the sort of place Brisbane needs. It's like Brisbane's version of St Ali's in Melbourne: great setting (you might not notice it from the street), good food, friendly service and, most importantly, coffee worth travelling for...
Love, love, love brother espresso! This new installment is fantastic.
The in-house roasting and lovely back deck brings a beautiful ambience to the cafe.
The coffee is as always superb, with knowledgable and friendly Batistas.

I've not had a bad coffee in over a year. All of the barista's are awesome.
Ah the vibrant Fortitude Valley. Chaos, culture and grime. Hidden away in quiet Warry St away from the noise. Fifth Battery has got it going on. Great building...great coffee. Quiet day today, but I'm sure it has a vibrant atmosphere at other times. Great place to chill and enjoy a great coffee.... Read more

We kind of expected a new God Of War game to show up sooner or later, but most people didn't foresee God Of War: Ascension. We have the first teaser trailer, which is embedded below, and, well, little else besides that.
That's enough though, surely?! What more could you want than a trailer of such epic proportions. Other than that we know this will be a prequel set before the original trilogy. And I suspect more of the hack'n'slash gameplay we've come to know and love. Oh, and gorgeous visuals, obviously.
Don't hold your breath waiting for the game to be released, as it's unlikely to make an appearance until Spring 2013. And then only on the PS3, which I suspect will mean quite a few Xbox 360 owners getting their hands on a Sony console as it makes way for the next-gen hardware.

Graduate Studies and Research
Western Kentucky University
1906 College Heights Blvd. #11010
Bowling Green, Ky. 42101-1010
On March 1, the clinical program faculty begin the evaluation of all applicants. Acceptance into the program is competitive. Applicants to the clinical psychology program need a minimum GRE Verbal score of 146, GRE Quantitative score of 141; overall Grade Point Average of 2.75, and a Psychology Grade Point Average of 3.00. Students must also have completed 18 semester hours (usually six classes) in Psychology, which has to include statistics or experimental methodology, and abnormal psychology courses. Selection is competitive and most students are well above the minimum criteria. Here is a comparison between students who were admitted to the clinical program and students who applied to the program. We have recently added a Personal Statement to our application process. This 500-word statement should describe the student's applied and research interests in clinical psychology and general career goals.
Once the clinical faculty select candidates, they must be approved by Graduate Studies, so, while you will hear from the Clinical Coordinator that you have been recommended for acceptance, the actual acceptance letter will come from the Dean of Graduate Studies. As one more complicating factor, in order to be accepted into the clinical psychology MA program, students must be accepted into the WKU graduate college. However, acceptance into the graduate college does not guarantee acceptance into the clinical program.
We strongly encourage applications from people of under-represented groups and are interested in applicants from all backgrounds. WKU is committed to equal opportunity in its educational programs and does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, religion, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation.

North Andover Man Seriously Injured in One-Car Crash on Rt. 125
A 70-year-old North Andover man was flown to Boston for serious injuries sustained in a car accident on Route 125 in Andover Monday afternoon.
State Police are investigating the cause of a one-car accident at Route 125 and Route 28 that left an elderly man in serious condition Monday afternoon.
According to State Trooper Kenneth Gaetz, police first reported the accident at 1:55 p.m on Monday.
Gaetz said that North Andover resident James Sheridan was traveling in his 2011 Ford Taurus on Route 125 when he left the roadway, for unknown reasons, and directly hit the concrete bridge support for one of the overpasses at the Route 125 and Route 28 interchange in Andover.
Andover Fire and Rescue responded with extrication tools and had to use the Jaws of Life to get Sheridan from the vehicle.
Traffic on both Route 125 north and south were stopped to allow a medical helicopter to land on Route 125 to transport Sheridan to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston.
Gaetz said Sheridan was in serious condition, as of the most recent update.
The cause and manner of the accident is still under investigation by State Police Trooper Daniel O'Brien.

Request for Endorsement/Mobilization To Support Allied Action
Re: Request for Endorsement/Mobilization To Support Allied Action
On Friday the national unemployment statistics will be released by the Labor Department, detailing how many of our friends and neighbors are now without work. As a response the local Jobs With Justice chapter will be hosting a rally and march to highlight the dire unemployment situation and draw attention to the needs of the 99%. The rally begins at 12pm on Friday at 100 W. Randolph (Thompson Center/State of IL Building), just a few blocks north of the occupation, and the march will be down LaSalle St to meet up and join Occupy Chicago.
I propose that the General Assembly endorse the action to highlight unemployment in America, and march north to participate in the rally and demonstrations before returning back for the 3pm G.A.
Jobs With Justice is a firm ally of the 99% movement and the Chicago occupation. On Friday the executive director and members of the local chapter marched with us and attended the evening G.A., and the conclusion of their action is to come and join us. These are our friends, fighting the same fight that we are, and we should support them. (Especially since they are coming to support us!)
