[AsburyPark] Clearing up a Few Misconceptions

2007-09-10 Thread wernerapnj
I've had some time to look over the past weeks comments on the 
group. I'll be catching up on other posts as time allows.

 true you can't cast judgement without the facts.  How many times

out code violations on here but has not corrected his own?


I've been in court over my home for many years, the City was always 
happy to take my money with a guilty plea and leave me alone for 
another year. There was no body in my basement, it was a malicious 
call. I never ignored the City, performing repairs that I could 
afford at the time and paying fines. I have NEVER reported anyone 
for a Code violation - NEVER. I regularly point out ZONING 
violations since the City routinely fails to enforce its own Zoning 
regulations.

I am the creator and founder of the Historical Society. I was not 
removed from it, it was stolen from me. Several people including a 
former Councilwoman incorporated behind my back, without my consent 
or participation. I was given a charter membership as consolation 
but have never been asked for input, participation or acknowledged 
as the visionary behind its creation.

One should not fear stones for speaking out on public issues such as 
Zoning, Planning, Land Use, Redevelopment, Preservation, etc.

As stated previously I have never complained about anyone's Code 
violations. I am far more concerned with public policy issues that 
are not in the best interests of Asbury Park.

[AsburyPark] Re: Credentials Watch for Asbury Park

2007-09-10 Thread 2fine4u
Mario,
I thought I was good at research, but you've beaten me, hands down! 
Credentials Watch is a real eye opener.  Can't remember, but someone
at Harvard, I think was found out to have not completed her studies? 
The Dean of Admissions, I think it was or Yale, but anyway, I couldn't
help but wonder, how she got past a background report!  I'll bet they
weren't checking them, in some instances.

I know people, who for all intents and purposes, dress, as though they
were in academia, have that tweedy look, so prevalent amongst the
collegiate set, but ALL of the professors, I've been involved with
DON'T dress this way, now that I recollect.  I only had one associate
professor, during an advanced Business course, who had graduated from
William and Mary, which was ALL she talked about, took a fancy to me,
because I worked at ATT, while her husband worked for the
competition, ITT and I wound up transferring OUT of her class, because
I didn't want to deal with the scrutiny she would put me through.  I
wound up seeing the Dean to plead my case out of her class, after I
told her, what I thought of her!

SHE dressed like she was in some other era, like the late 40's through
the late 50's, saw herself as some Southern Belle leftover and
monopolized the class with her memorabilia of her life.  Whatever! 
Just seems that there's a lot of fakery going around, like fake
reporters at white house briefings, planted in with the regular
bone-headed journalists.

Fake doctors, are being caught in the NYC area, doing surgery, that
they aren't qualified for.  I always look at the diplomas,
certificates and citations, awarded to the doctors and specialists I
see, to make sure they're who they say they are.  Most of the
physicians I see, have graduated from Columbia and Newark, have done
their residencies in various hospitals, either here or NYC.  My doctor
has more patients than he can handle, from word of mouth and has had
to hire other physicians to take his overload!

Working as a fake anything, jeopardizes the public's right to be
cared for or administrated to, in a legal, as well as professional
manner.  Does anyone know the penalty for pretending to be a person
who is lettered?  By that, I mean, BA, PhD and all the lettering
behind architects, surveyors, cinematography, MD's, CPA's and
professions, requiring exams, in order to legally present yourself, as
a professional.

There are educators and law degreed individuals, in this group, who I
can certifiably say are the real thing!  You and Frank are/were
teachers and Tommy and I think Dan are lawyers, well, I know Tommy is.
Where do some people get off faking their professions?

[AsburyPark] Fire Sales?

2007-09-10 Thread dfsavgny
 FRANTIC BUILDERS SLASH HOME PRICES

By PAUL THARP

September 8, 2007 -- The fire sale of the century is now under way in
the real estate sector, with the prices of thousands of unsold new
homes being slashed as much as $100,000 from typical $500,000 prices.

Homebuilders across the nation are scrambling to raise cash as their
once-booming industry slides deeper into recession, leaving behind the
ruins of scores of bankrupt firms.

One major homebuilder in the New York area, Hovnanian Homes, is
fighting back the threat of ruin with a brave counterattack.

Hovnanian, the nation's sixth-largest builder, said yesterday it's
launching its first-ever national ad campaign to promote a three-day
sales blitz next weekend aimed at unloading dozens of unsold homes
with as much as 17 percent markdowns.

A one-bedroom condo with a pool and spectacular Manhattan views -
nestled on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River near Hoboken - will
be reduced by $44,000 from its $500,000 price, enough savings to pay
for a trendy Audi A6 or BMW.

A beachfront condo in North Wildwood, N.J., had its $500,000 price
slashed by $106,000. And a $1.6 million estate in Morris County, N.J.,
got lowered by nearly $100,000.

People are waiting for a big deal from this crisis, and we're going
to give them the deal of the century, said Michael Skea, vice
president of sales at Hovnanian, based in Red Bank, N.J.

Analysts said the 72-hour sale, which takes place Sept. 14-16 and can
be conducted and financed online through Hovnanian's lending arm, is a
last-ditch effort to improve cash flows after the fourth-straight
quarter of losses.

Other struggling homebuilders are also setting up desperate fire sales
later this fall. One of the latest companies in crisis is
Atlanta-based Beazer Homes, which yesterday got a formal notice of
default on $1.38 billion in loans. Beazer said the notice is invalid.

Meanwhile, auctioneers are staging sales almost every weekend in major
cities to unload vacant homes that have been foreclosed by banks.

One of the nation's biggest home auctioneers, Hudson  Marshall, is
putting 700 homes on the block for a mega-auction next weekend in
Detroit. Properties range from $5,000 for small bungalows and
fixer-uppers to $600,000 four-bedroom custom homes.

Banks are very anxious to find buyers, so the properties are going to
auction below their list prices, said auctioneer Dave Webb.

It's good news for buyers who got priced out of the home market in
the past few years, said Webb, who's auctioned 40,000 foreclosed
homes this year. Now they have a chance to grab great deals.

(20%)

And a $1.6 million estate in Morris County, N.J.,

Hov taking advantage of the free negative PR.

We've been talking 20% price drops for over 6 months now.

[AsburyPark] Kansas Senate Prayer

2007-09-10 Thread jerseykev
This is a Prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate.  It 
seems Prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to  
open the new session of the Kansas Senate,

'Heavenly  Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to 
seek your  direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who 
call evil  good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our 
spiritual  equilibrium and reversed our values.
We  have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We  have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We  have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We  have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We  have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self  
esteem.

We  have abused power and called it politics.

We  have coveted our neighbor's possessions  a  nd called it ambition.

We  have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it 
freedom of  __expression

We  have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it  
enlightenment.

Search  us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from Every sin and 
set us  free.

Amen!'
The  response was immediate.
A  number of legislators walked out during the prayer in  protest.
In  6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, 
logged  more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding 
negatively.  The church is now receiving international requests for copies of 
this 
prayer  from India ,  Africa  and Korea
Commentator  Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of 
the Story,' and  received a larger response to this program than any other he 
has ever aired.  With the Lord's help! , may this prayer sweep over our 
nation and whole  heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 
'one 
nation Under  God.'

I'd be upset if I heard this prayer given at a government event. It's full of 
things that 
political parties exploit, and it shouldn't be part of our political process.
I think the whole One Nation, Under God concept needs to be reexamined. It 
assumes 
that we all believe in a god, the same god for everybody. Some people don't 
have such 
beliefs, and it's not fair to them.

[AsburyPark] Re: STAND UP FOR ASBURY!

2007-09-10 Thread Kevin Brown
I understand.  I think the one issue that has some in a knot is the 
fact that the men in the shelter are released every day into the 
public streets.  What they must understand is that the Federal Court 
made it illegal to keep them in for 24 hours a day.  They are not to 
be in prisoned in the shelter.  They are to be released every day in 
an attempt to secure work independent of the shelter and move on with 
their lives.

I saw a guy sleeping in the parking lot over the weekend, he had 
three options.  Shelter, hospital or jail.  He was not sick so the 
hospital wouldn't take him.  He was not jailable - so he had no 
choice but to go to the shelter.  He had 2 options there.  Fort 
Monmouth or Asbury park.  Fort Monmouth wouldn't take him, so he 
wound up in Asbury park.

Now some of you who fight with me about what I have tried to do in 
Long Branch, open the shelter at Lighthouse here, well the irony of 
it is you support the few who have made it impossible to open a Long 
Branch shelter over the last 13 years, and you now have the Long 
Branch homeless in Asbury!

So I decided because Mario  asbury couple like to jump on me every 
chance they get, and because I have faith that MSM will do the proper 
job I have decided not ot provide shelter in the Long Branch project 
at all.  Besides there is so much more to do in ministry.

So as we all can see, what a man sows so shall he reap.  Those of you 
in Asbury who have joined in with the Long Branch politicians in bad 
mouthing me for wanting to help the homeless here in Long Branch, you 
win, I'll refer them all to MSM in Asbury.

Thanks for lightening my load.

Blessings

I don't think it's so much about bad mouthing you.
You need to step back and think about the situation here in AP a little 
differently.
Our city has had many more crime problems then LB, and for more then 30 years 
the city 
has been struggling. We residents have to cope with problems brought on by our 
homeless population, such as people sleeping in our parks, pan handlers at our 
convienience stores, homeless people using our parks etc. as open air 
bathrooms. Not 
only that, but many of these people come to AP with serious drug and alcohol 
problems, 
and AP is not the place to send somebody with a drug problem. There are plenty 
of drugs 
here, and plenty of dealers looking for new customers. One of my pet peeves 
with the 
drinking homeless people is that they don't seem to understand that there are 
these 
things called garbage cans to discard things in, so they just leave them 
anyplace, such as 
my lawn, or broken on somebodies sidewalk.
Meanwhile, AP is trying to make a comeback. I think our growing homeless 
population is a 
threat to this.
And please don't think the people of AP are without compassion, because that's 
not the 
case. Many of us are just plain fed up. That's not so hard to understand, is it?

[AsburyPark] Plagues among the Pharisees

are no credentials listed at either MSM's or JSRM's sites (from Christ
Based Counseling link below):
We recognize that psychology is well assimilated into the fiber of
mainline ministries nationwide.  This does NOT indicate that it is
acceptable to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  A number of these
organizations even refer to their ministries as the generic
Christian-based distancing themselves from Christian counseling, which
is all but destroyed by the imposition of psychological practices during
the last 25 years.  However, a request for their standards or
Christian-based licensing will be met with hostility.  They readily
display their state licensing.  The casual consumer does not realize
that state licensing does NOT consider faith related standards,
practices, strategies or therapies.  Therefore, these ministries and
associations are in fact highly unethical and representing the highest
order of pretense.  The same may even be true for those who graduated
from highly prestigious Christian colleges.  Again, their programs are
often so permeated by the psycho-socio practices they have difficulty
displaying any Christian-based standards, which demonstrate the faith
related nature of their counseling practices.

No matter how well received these personalities, schools, seminaries,
associations and ministries may be they cannot distance themselves from
the fact that the psycho-socio therapies find their foundation in
atheism.

So my new approach is to simply ignore him and hope he goes away.  
It worked for several others - as soon as we all stopped falling

ignorance is bliss, and you are wrong as par usual.

As a matter of fact one of my best friends and major supporters owns 
a bus company.  I could even get him to give me a bus and I can load 
it up and bring all the homeless to already existing shelters in the

[AsburyPark] The Importance of Faith Based Organizations Providing Social Services

2007-09-10 Thread jerseykev
  
Issue 
Just as public institutions reconsider their funding patterns and seek  to 
engage faith-based organizations more actively, private philanthropies  also 
have the opportunity to forge partnerships with these  groups.


Action 
According to the National Crime Prevention Council's publication,  
Philanthropy and Faith: An Introduction, steps to take when partnering  with 
faith-based groups include the following:  
Find common ground. It is almost always there. You and  many of the 
faith-based groups in your community share purposes. You may  find that you 
agree on 
many of the goals although you may have different  ways of getting there. Work 
together on those elements where you find  common ground and respect those 
where you don't.  
Establish clear guidelines on how you are willing to give  support and 
assistance to faith-based organizations or programs  in the community. Make it 
clear 
what you pay for and what you don't pay  for.  
Help build capacity. Be sure to provide training and  technical assistance to 
support the aims and purposes of the guidelines.  Remember that for many 
local groups capacity is an issue. Help groups  recognize that they can grow, 
but 
don't try to make them stretch without  providing the resources for growth. 
Assume the responsibility for  recognizing their capacity and your ability to 
help them grow. In many  cases you will be dealing with smaller, less formally 
organized, and less  experienced groups. They may need help in understanding 
how to become an  incorporated or nonprofit organization if that is what is 
required before  your organization can fund them. They may need assistance in 
determining  what they can or should evaluate and how to do so inexpensively. 
Consider  working through intermediaries— nonprofit entities that receive and 
 
manage monies for small, faith-based groups. Small- to mid-sized  faith-based 
organizations will also need to look to government and the  philanthropic 
community for financial support to continue this work. While  their ability to 
draw 
on volunteers may offset overall costs, the  increasing need for improved 
organizational infrastructure and  professional staff will eventually outstrip 
their own resources.  
Recognize that different groups have different  purposes. In fact, one group 
may have several different programs  with dissimilar purposes and different 
levels of grounding in  faith-related issues. Don't look at labels or emblems 
but at a group's  actions and methods of reaching the goals. Realize also that 
faith-filled  groups may be fully capable of running faith-based programs.   
Develop an understanding of faith in the community. A  faith-based group 
within the community may be an agent of change, a  builder and keeper of norms, 
an 
administrator of a program, a seeker and  healer of the lost and forgotten, 
or a restorer of civic health. A  faith-based group may take on one or more of 
these roles at various times.  It's important to understand the context in 
which faith acts to move and  shape the community.

See the faith community and the  faith-based group as a partner — a natural 
partner of seemingly  unnatural allies, such as the police department, the 
school, or social  services delivery systems.

Seek not just fiduciary  relationships but operating partnerships. Take an 
active role as  an agent of change. Bring together groups that share 
commitment, 
purpose,  and approach. Help them learn from each other, and help them grow 
with  each other. Link with others — national and local — to build a  
philanthropic network around the faith-funding issue. Bring in public  agencies 
— 
local, state, and national — in your area that may be funding  or have an 
interest 
in funding faith-related programs. 
Be ready to relate to new groups with new  constituencies. There are new and 
important players coming to the  table, such as representatives from Latino 
Pentecostal-Holiness churches  and from mosques who are beginning to see 
private 
and public monies as  important to their social work. 
Demand accountability. Good stewardship is as much a  part of faith as it is 
of philanthropy. Treat faith-based groups as you  would any partner. Agree on 
outcomes and timelines. Don't let groups make  promises that will be difficult 
to keep regarding results or the  promptness of delivery. Be clear about 
legal boundaries.  
Stay in  for the long haul. It may take a long  time for change to be able to 
happen both for people and for communities.  Be sure to give programs a 
chance to work. 
Keep in mind research, track records, and plausibility when  assessing what 
is presented to you. Faith based organizations, no  matter how noble their 
intentions, may not understand the scope of the  problem or the needs that 
they're 
trying to address. If an approach hasn't  worked, it hasn't worked; allowing 
a faith-based group to adopt it is to  invite that group to fail. By the same 

[AsburyPark] Working with faith-based organizations: challenges and benefits

2007-09-10 Thread jerseykev
  
Working with faith-based  organizations: challenges and benefits
Abstract 
Serving with community organizations -- in particular, small  faith-based 
ones -- presents a unique set of challenges for those in  national and 
community 
service. Beverly Al-Amin of the National Crime  Prevention Council shared 
strategies for overcoming potential obstacles at  the 2005 AmeriCorps*Direct 
Best 
Practices Conference in Nashville,  Tennessee in April 2005.   
Issue 
Working with any organization presents challenges, and community  
organizations are no exception.

Action 
According to Beverly Al-Amin of the National Crime Prevention Council,  take 
the following steps to deal with challenges posed by working with  
community-based organizations.  
Problem: The organization may be cautious about  partnering with the federal 
government. 
Solution: 
*   Be clear about the opportunities available to the new partner and  
how its program can be enhanced with this support.  
*   Be specific about what activities can and cannot be done when  
organizations are partnering with the federal government. (See the  section on 
legal 
guidelines below.)  
*   Be aware that in the past, faith-based organizations might have  
limited their services to members of their own faith. When an  organization 
becomes a Senior Corps volunteer station, their services  must be available to 
all 
members of the community, regardless of their  religious background.

Problem: The organization may face  administrative challenges, such as staff 
being unavailable to answer  phones or be present during normal working 
hours. This is especially  true for congregations (mosques, temples, churches,  
synagogues).Solution:  
*   Be consistent and patient in communicating with the organization.  
*   Be flexible in your schedule so you can meet staff when and where  
they are available.

Problem: The organization may lack access to  information.Solution:  
*   Offer to invite the organization to community councils and  
networking opportunities.  
*   Introduce staff to new and different sources of information.  
*   Offer support to help the organization comply with local and federal  
rules on partnering with various organizations.

Problem: The organization may need help with  additional capacity 
building.Solution:  
*   Every organization has both strengths and weaknesses; suggest ways  
you can help the organization maximize its strengths and compensate for  its 
weaknesses.  
*   Offer to share effective practices that have worked for your  
organization and might be adapted to work within their program or  
organization. 
Walk-through their (or your) processes or procedures  step-by-step with an eye 
to 
highlight areas of efficiency and  troubleshoot areas of bottle necking.

Problem: The organization may have language  barriers. Members of the 
organization may not be fluent in English;  words may be used in slightly 
different 
ways -- for example, a secular  organization may talk about a program, while 
the faith-based group has a  ministry. The two words often appear to be 
interchangeable, but they  mean different things to each group. 
Solution:  
Ask a lot of questions when meeting with community organizations. Do  not 
assume anything, and be specific about the expectations of the  programs. 

Problem: The organization may feel protective  of their programs and 
congregations. Sometimes new programs can be  perceived as taking money, 
volunteers, 
and other resources away from an  already limited capacity. 
Solution:  
*   When meeting with a community organization, be prepared to discuss  
how the new partnership will support the mission and use the  organization's 
resources to benefit the community.  
*   Ensure that the organization has both the benefits and the  
responsibilities of a full partnership. This means that the organization  
receives 
credit for making the partnership a success but also takes  responsibility.

Context 
Faith-based and community organizations have a long history of  providing 
essential services to people in need in the United States. In  recognition of 
the 
unique ability that these organizations have to meet  the special needs of 
their communities, President George W. Bush has made  improving funding 
opportunities for faith-based and community  organizations a priority. Through

track record 1889 - 2007 = 118 years of experience.
The fact that their CEO is making less than 100,000.00 a year in New 
Jersey is extremely comendable.

Chicago nonprofits also pay their CEOs the most--a median of $184,753 
a year for bosses of the 88 local charities in the sample.

Didn't I read somewhere that the United Way CEO was close to 
$300,000.00  - I know we pay LB School Super $250,000.00 - some think 
$300K.

I only see lame reasons not to embrace them.  Unless you guys are 
caught up on the fact that they believe homosexuality is a sin.

  Cause I have listened to all the arguement that comes out on this 
board and I am not convinced they are not doing a good thing in 
Asbury Park.

I spent over a year sitting back and waiting.  Now I am gonna support 
them 150%.

And most of the above. Question is  -- who is falling into a trap?  This

to be exposed for what it is -- a sham.  It's bogus when it comes from
Long Branch; and,more importantly, it's bogus in Asbury Park when JSRM
uses the same script to obscure the issue:  How does JSRM benefit Asbury
Park? Maybe it's good to encourage the preaching from Long Branch.Maybe
there are AP residents, who read here but don't post, who haven't quite
made up their minds about JSRM. They may get bored of the talk but
also recognize there's no walk:no benefit to Asbury Park's homeleess,

Well, that would include The Red Cross, who hired Blackwater Soldiers
of Fortune, to protect them in New Orleans and may have executed some
residents, as I have heard.  The Salvation Army, which owns an
apartment building for womenin NYC.  The building was given to them
and now, they're in the process of evicting these same women, because
they can get millions for the building to be turned into condos,
what else!  It includes the American Legion, whose last National
Commander, took a partisan side towards the White House, instead of
staying apolitical, non-sectarian, as its' Constitution, implies! 
And on and on!

I am Roman Catholic and whenever our meetings begin with a sectarian
prayer, I get very upset, because no one prays the Hail Mary or the
Apostles Creed.  WE have a chaplain as well and wonder why!  I don't
have a problem with a moment of silence, because it gives believers
and non-believers the option to meditate, without crossing over into
religious beliefs.  Just count me as a Pharisee, then!

[AsburyPark] Esperanza - Branding

2007-09-10 Thread dfsavgny
Strategy: Creative Realtors Give Condos New Lease On Life
Marketing, marketing, marketing replaces location, location, location.
September 10, 2007
By Mike Beirne

Desperate times call for smarter marketing, even in the upscale market
of condominiums, where developers dangle such luxury hotel-type
amenities as spas, five-star restaurants, health clubs and maid
service as part of the perks.

Developers were sitting on an inventory of 742,000 condos and co-ops
in July. That's 11.9 months supply compared to the 8.2 months on hand
the previous year, according to the National Assn. of Realtors,
Chicago. Sales declined in every region tracked by NAR, dropping the
national average by 7.5% compared to July 2006.

Putting The Donald's name on a marquee should be enough to break
through real estate marketing's sea of sameness. The 46-story Trump
SoHo Hotel Condominium, under construction in New York and scheduled
to open in early 2009, is being supported with print beyond the Big
Apple, via Prodigy International, Miami. One sees Trump's daughter
Ivanka in a slinky white dress posing next to an artist's rendition of
the building overlooking a night scene of Manhattan. Tag: Possess
your own SoHo.

For the right price, that's not all you can possess, thanks to Donald
Trump. A one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath, 1,180-square-foot condo at
Trump World Tower, located near the United Nations' building, recently
went on the market. What would someone get for the $1.4 million asking
price? According to the real estate listing: Floor-to-ceiling
windows; the dining room can be converted to a second bedroom;
building features include: 24-hour concierge and doorman, health club,
pool, spa, on-site garage. Pet friendly.

We advise our clients to establish [their] differentiation. You can't
be a square box with a square pool, said Scott Berman, leisure and
hospitality analyst at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Miami (they were not
affiliated with the Trump World Tower listing). In crowded fields,
that's where you're going to see breakthough marketing.

NR Investments, Miami, recently put its four South Florida business
complexes out front with a campaign, via Stir Communications, Boca
Raton, Fla., that splashed, We hate your landlord too, in print, on
billboards and an online brochure that shows small business owners the
benefits of owning versus leasing their work space.

Stir also staged street rallies in business districts where suit-clad
demonstrators protested against the tyranny of leasing. The effort
has netted more than 1,000 inquiries since July.

We wanted to be polarizing enough with irreverent copy to allow
people to pay attention long enough to drive them in and have a 'right
brain response' to our properties and then move them to the very 'left
brain process' to digest the complex issue of owning versus leasing,
said Greg Salsburg, president at Stir.

The Athena Group, New York, opened The Rob Clark in Los Angeles nine
months ago and has sold 85 of the building's 105 units without placing
a single newspaper ad. What they did do was create Rob Clark, a
fictional character who is hip, well-traveled and at the hot VIP
gatherings familiar to the Hollywood lifestyle Gen X target audience.

Athena plastered posters around town featuring its fictional
character. Street teams handed out $50 bills courtesy of Rob Clark.
The company set up a Web site, www.Therobclark.com, where visitors
could read about a woman who wrote a movie pitch inspired by Rob
Clark, follow Rob Clark as he drove to hot spots in Los Angeles and
even tour his condo, where they would find items such as an
invitiation to celebrity parties with a special appearance by Rob Clark.

All I want to do with advertising is bring traffic, said Harry
Dubin, Athena director of marketing and sales. Five percent of
traffic I can close. I may have to see 100 people now to sell 10 units
because the subprime mess is giving me more people who don't qualify
for loans. But it all comes back to marketing.

I happen to agree with the Ft Monmouth Policy.  However they also 
limited the time you stay within a year.  They wouldn't let Stash 
back until January 2008.  I also know thatthey keep you so many days, 
because county tax payers dollars pay per diem, for some amount of 
days.  After the county money stops they get booted out, there in is 
the bigger problem.

So, what do we do with the homeless Dan.  I know you long enough to 
know you are reasonable.  I agree that dumbing and relocating are 
wrong.  This isn't to say I agree with the three horseman of Asbury's 
position - I do know quite abit about what is goin gon in this State 
on this issue.  The State has no constitutional requirement for 
shelter of anyone.  Homeless people are not a protected group.  Many 
cities in NJ are sanctuary citys for illegals but not homeless.

I learned today he is well known Stash is the name the LBPD have 
given him.  Apparently he is mentally disabled and there is no place 
for him, so they let him stay on the street and they sought of move 
him along from place to place when someone complains.

It's a major problem.

Did anyone ever stop to think the more you strip away liberty from 
different segments of the population, you may one day wake up and 
there is no more liberty at all.

You may want to argue for the right to tax, the tax exempt.  I would 
rather spend my time argueing against taxes to begin with.  This is 
the most central difference between republicans and democrats.

Talk about the lazy!  

Then also consider the property for schools, which do not pay taxes 
as well.

But we have already went round and round about this one.  If you 
going to tax churches than tax everyone.  Or better yet end tax and 
lets roll back to the Liberterian way of doing things.

Someone should do a comparison of money spent on charity and 
government in the State of New Jersey.

[AsburyPark] Re: Working with faith-based organizations: challenges and benefits

2007-09-10 Thread Kevin Brown
--- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

   
 Working with faith-based  organizations: challenges and 
benefits
 Abstract 
 Serving with community organizations -- in particular, small  faith-
based 
 ones -- presents a unique set of challenges for those in  national 
and community 
 service. Beverly Al-Amin of the National Crime  Prevention Council 
shared 
 strategies for overcoming potential obstacles at  the 2005 
AmeriCorps*Direct Best 
 Practices Conference in Nashville,  Tennessee in April 2005.   
 Issue 
 Working with any organization presents challenges, and community  
 organizations are no exception.
 
 Action 
 According to Beverly Al-Amin of the National Crime Prevention 
Council,  take 
 the following steps to deal with challenges posed by working with  
 community-based organizations.  
 Problem: The organization may be cautious about  partnering with 
the federal 
 government. 
 Solution: 
 *   Be clear about the opportunities available to the new 
partner and  
 how its program can be enhanced with this support.  
 *   Be specific about what activities can and cannot be done 
when  
 organizations are partnering with the federal government. (See the  
section on legal 
 guidelines below.)  
 *   Be aware that in the past, faith-based organizations might 
have  
 limited their services to members of their own faith. When an  
organization 
 becomes a Senior Corps volunteer station, their services  must be 
available to all 
 members of the community, regardless of their  religious background.
 
 Problem: The organization may face  administrative challenges, such 
as staff 
 being unavailable to answer  phones or be present during normal 
working 
 hours. This is especially  true for congregations (mosques, 
temples, churches,  
 synagogues).Solution:  
 *   Be consistent and patient in communicating with the 
organization.  
 *   Be flexible in your schedule so you can meet staff when and 
where  
 they are available.
 
 Problem: The organization may lack access to  
information.Solution:  
 *   Offer to invite the organization to community councils and  
 networking opportunities.  
 *   Introduce staff to new and different sources of 
information.  
 *   Offer support to help the organization comply with local 
and federal  
 rules on partnering with various organizations.
 
 Problem: The organization may need help with  additional capacity 
 building.Solution:  
 *   Every organization has both strengths and weaknesses; 
suggest ways  
 you can help the organization maximize its strengths and compensate 
for  its 
 weaknesses.  
 *   Offer to share effective practices that have worked for 
your  
 organization and might be adapted to work within their program or  
organization. 
 Walk-through their (or your) processes or procedures  step-by-step 
with an eye to 
 highlight areas of efficiency and  troubleshoot areas of bottle 
necking.
 
 Problem: The organization may have language  barriers. Members of 
the 
 organization may not be fluent in English;  words may be used in 
slightly different 
 ways -- for example, a secular  organization may talk about 
a program, while 
 the faith-based group has a  ministry. The two words often appear 
to be 
 interchangeable, but they  mean different things to each group. 
 Solution:  
 Ask a lot of questions when meeting with community organizations. 
Do  not 
 assume anything, and be specific about the expectations of the  
programs. 
 
 Problem: The organization may feel protective  of their programs 
and 
 congregations. Sometimes new programs can be  perceived as taking 
money, volunteers, 
 and other resources away from an  already limited capacity. 
 Solution:  
 *   When meeting with a community organization, be prepared to 
discuss  
 how the new partnership will support the mission and use the  
organization's 
 resources to benefit the community.  
 *   Ensure that the organization has both the benefits and the  
 responsibilities of a full partnership. This means that the 
organization  receives 
 credit for making the partnership a success but also takes  
responsibility.

 (http://nationalserviceresources.org/epicenter/practices/index.php?

 Context 
 Faith-based and community organizations have a long history of  
providing 
 essential services to people in need in the United States. In  
recognition of the 
 unique ability that these organizations have to meet  the special 
needs of 
 their communities, President George W. Bush has made  improving 
funding 
 opportunities for faith-based and community  organizations a 
priority. Through the 
 President's faith-based and  community initiative, the 
administration is working 
 to remove unnecessary  barriers that may prevent these 
organizations from 
 receiving federal  funding, creating a level playing field 
between faith-based

Someone should call the tax assessor. Werner. A Typical parking space 
is 12x20. How many parking spaces per acre? We turn to Google, the 
engine that makes us look smart. We need to implant Goog in our 
brain, so we can mumble questions and get answers:

1. On average [in the U.S.] a new parking space has cost 17 percent 
more than a new car.  Drivers may not realize it, but many parking 
spaces cost more than the cars parked in them, especially because 
cars depreciate in value much faster than parking spaces do...the 
parking supply is worth more than the vehicle stock.


2. ...Meanwhile, the cost of parking--often $50,000 per space and up--
can determine the project's financial feasibility...

Go to google, type parking spaces per acre

WASHINGTON — Gen. David Petraeus says President Bush’s decision in January 
to  increase the number of U.S. soldiers in Iraq by 30,000 is working - a point 
 disputed by many Democrats, including one from South Jersey.

The  commander of U.S. forces in Iraq said today American and Iraqi troops 
have dealt  “significant blows” to al-Qaida and Shiite militant leaders, adding 
that it’s  possible to reduce the U.S. military force to pre-“surge” levels 
of about  130,000 by next summer.

Petraeus said a long-term commitment is critical  to stabilize the situation 
in Iraq, which right now is “complex, difficult and  sometimes downright 
frustrating.” He said U.S. objectives would be met, but in  time.

However, Rep. Rob Andrews, D-Haddon Heights, said nothing in  Petraeus’ 
much-anticipated testimony to the House Armed Services and Foreign  Relations 
committees changes his mind that the war is misguided. 

The  U.S. should no longer referee a “civil war” between Sunnis and Shiites, 
he said.  

All U.S. forces should be pulled out in the next 1½ years and the  orderly 
withdrawals should begin in 90 days, said Andrews, a member of the Armed  
Services Committee.

The point of the surge, which Bush announced in  January, was to reduce 
violence and give the Iraqi government time to gain  “legitimacy” to do its 
job, 
Andrews said. Petraeus’ report shows there’s been  some reduction in the 
violence, though that's debatable, Andrews said.  

He pointed to a report last week by the Government Accountability Office  
that shows the Iraqi government hasn't met seven of eight benchmarks of  
progress.

Somewhere, Keith Olbermann is sticking pins in a Bill O'Reilly voodoo  
doll: Fox News' ratings, TVNewser reports, are down since August of  
last year. Like, way down. Like down 28 percent in primetime among  
all viewers, down 20 percent in primetime in the money  
demo (viewers aged 25-54) and down 7 percent in daytime viewership  
overall. In fact, the only place Fox is up is during the day, when  
they managed a ratings increase of just 2 percent, and even then only  
in the money demo.


And lest you think this is an industry-wide trend, consider this:  
over the same time period, CNN and MSNBC are up. CNN's up 35 percent  
during the day -- 46 percent in the money demo -- and up 21 percent  
in primetime overall, 25 percent in the money demo. MSNBC's ratings  
increases aren't quite as impressive -- up 6 percent in primetime  
overall, 8 percent in the money demo, and up 36 percent in the money  
demo during the day, 26 percent overall.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Liberals Have No God

2007-09-10 Thread Jersey Shore John
Reporting on the ratings rivalry between the Fox News Channel (FNC)  
and CNN is often misleading--and almost always over-hyped.


Fox Tops CNN as Choice for Cable News, declared one typical  
headline (Chicago Tribune , 3/24/03). Fox News Channel Continues to  
Crush CNN , reported Knight Ridder (Dallas Morning News , 2/3/04) in  
a column comparing the rivalry to a party primary: Fox News Channel  
is winning the Nielsen caucuses. Last summer (8/17/03), the New York  
Times Magazine declared, looking back at the period of the Iraq  
invasion, Fox was--and still is--trouncing CNN in the ratings.


After exposure to countless similar stories published since January  
2002, when Fox was reported to have surpassed CNN in the Nielsen  
ratings, one might naturally conclude that Fox has more viewers than  
CNN .


But it's not true. On any given day, more people typically tune to  
CNN than to Fox .


So what are the media reports talking about? With few exceptions,  
stories about the media business report a single number for ratings  
(often expressed two different ways--as points or share). This  
number is often presented as if it were the result of a popularity  
contest or a democratic vote. But it is actually the average number  
of viewers watching a station or a show in a typical minute, based on  
Nielsen Media Research's monitoring of thousands of households.


The average is arrived at by counting viewers every minute. Heavy  
viewers--those who tune in to a station and linger there--have a  
greater impact, as they can be counted multiple times as they watch  
throughout the day.


When an outlet reports that CNN is trailing Fox , they are almost  
invariably using this average tally, which Fox has been winning for  
the past two years. For the year 2003, Nielsen's average daily  
ratings show Fox beating CNN 1.02 million viewers to 665,000.


But there is another important number collected by Nielsen (though  
only made available to the firm's clients) that tells another story.  
This is the cume, the cumulative total number of viewers who watch  
a channel for at least six minutes during a given day. Unlike the  
average ratings number the media usually report, this number gives  
the same weight to the light viewer, who tunes in for a brief time,  
as it does to the heavy viewer.


How can CNN have more total viewers when Fox has such a commanding  
lead in average viewers? Conventional industry wisdom is that CNN  
viewers tune in briefly to catch up on news and headlines, while Fox  
viewers watch longer for the opinion and personality-driven  
programming. Because the smaller total number of Fox viewers are  
watching more hours, they show up in the ratings as a higher average  
number of viewers.


CNN regularly claims a cume about 20 percent higher than Fox 's  
(Deseret Morning News , 1/12/04). For instance, in April 2003, during  
the height of the fighting in Iraq, CNN 's cume was significantly  
higher than Fox 's: 105 million viewers tuned into CNN compared to 86  
million for Fox (Cablefax , 4/30/03). But in the same period, the  
ratings reported by most media outlets had Fox in the lead, with an  
average of 3.5 million viewers to CNN 's 2.2 million.


Even among Fox 's core audience of conservatives, CNN has an edge in  
total viewership. A study by the ad agency Carat USA (Hollywood  
Reporter , 8/13/03) found that 37 percent of viewers calling  
themselves very conservative watch CNN in the course of a week,  
while only 32 percent tune to Fox .

Iraqis Say Surge Has Failed

More Iraqis say security in their local area has gotten worse in the  
last six months than say it's gotten better, 31 percent to 24  
percent, with the rest reporting no change. Far more, six in 10, say  
security in the country overall has worsened since the surge began,  
while just one in 10 sees improvement.
More directly assessing the surge itself -- a measure that  
necessarily includes views of the United States, which are highly  
negative -- 65 to 70 percent of Iraqis say it's worsened rather than  
improved security, political stability and the pace of redevelopment  
alike.
There are some improvements, but they're sparse and inconsistent.  
Thirty-eight percent in Anbar province, a focal point of the surge,  
now rate local security positively; none did so six months ago. In  
Baghdad fewer now describe themselves as feeling completely unsafe in  
their own neighborhoods -- 58 percent, down from 84 percent. Yet  
other assessments of security in these locales have not improved, nor  
has the view nationally.
Overall, 41 percent report security as their greatest personal  
problem, down seven points from 48 percent in March. But there's been  
essentially no change in the number who call it the nation's top  
problem (56 percent, with an additional 28 percent citing political  
or military issues). And there are other problems aplenty to sour the  
public's outlook -- lack of jobs, poor power and fuel supply, poor  
medical services and many more.

Today in his prepared remarks, General Petraeus made the following  
statements regarding sectarian violence in Iraq. Unfortunately, his  
remarks raise as many questions as answers.


General Petraeus Claimed the Pentagon’s Methodology for Tracking  
Sectarian Killings Was Reviewed By Two US Intelligence Agencies, But  
Did Not Name Them. In his prepared remarks, General Petraeus argued,  
“We endeavor to ensure our analysis of that data is conducted with  
rigor and consistency, as our ability to achieve a nuanced  
understanding of the security environment is dependent on collecting  
and analyzing data in a consistent way over time. Two US intelligence  
agencies recently reviewed our methodology, and they concluded that  
the data we produce is the most accurate and authoritative in  
Iraq.” [LINK]
However, U.S. Intelligence Officials Questioned Pentagon’s Methods of  
Tracking Violence in Iraq. “The intelligence community has its own  
problems with military calculations. Intelligence analysts computing  
aggregate levels of violence against civilians for the NIE puzzled  
over how the military designated attacks as combat, sectarian or  
criminal, according to one senior intelligence official in  
Washington. ‘If a bullet went through the back of the head, it's  
sectarian,’ the official said. ‘If it went through the front, it's  
criminal.’” [Washington Post, 9/6/07]


A Military Spokesman Admitted It Did Not Track Shiite-on-Shiite or  
Sunni-on-Sunni Violence. “According to a spokesman for the Baghdad  
headquarters of the Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I), those attacks  
are not included in the military's statistics. ‘Given a lack of  
capability to accurately track Shiite-on-Shiite and Sunni-on-Sunni  
violence, except in certain instances,’ the spokesman said, ‘we do  
not track this data to any significant degree.’” [Washington Post,  
9/6/07]


And, the GAO Found Claims of Decreased Sectarian Violence Could Not  
Be Verified. “On trends in sectarian violence, we could not determine  
if sectarian violence had declined since the start of the Baghdad  
Security Plan. The administration’s July 2007 report stated that MNF- 
I trend data demonstrated a decrease in sectarian violence since the  
start of the Baghdad Security Plan in mid-February 2007. The report  
acknowledged that precise measurements vary, and that it was too  
early to determine if the decrease would be sustainable.” [GAO  
Report: Securing, Stabilizing and Rebuilding Iraq, September 2007]
General Petraeus Claimed the Number of Car Bombings Has Come Down. In  
his prepared remarks, General Petraeus argued, “The number of car  
bombings and suicide attacks has also declined in each of the past 5  
months, from a high of some 175 in March, as this chart shows, to  
about 90 this past month. While this trend in recent months has been  
heartening, the number of high profile attacks is still too high, and  
we continue to work hard to destroy the networks that carry out these  
barbaric attacks.” [LINK]
However, The Military Does Not Include Car Bombings in Sectarian  
Violence Statistics. “According to U.S. military figures, an average  
of 1,000 Iraqis have died each month since March in sectarian  
violence. That compares with about 1,200 a month at the start of the  
security plan, the military said in an e-mailed response to queries.  
This does not include deaths from car bombings, which the military  
said have numbered more than 2,600 this year.” [LA Times, 9/4/07 ]


And, The Number of Car Bombings In Iraq Was Five Percent Higher in  
July 2007 than in December 2006. The number of car bombings in July  
actually was 5 percent higher than the number recorded last December,  
according to statistics given to the McClatchy news organization, and  
the number of civilians killed in explosions is about the same.  
[McClatchy Newspapers, 8/15/07]
General Petraeus Claimed the Number of Ethno-Sectarian Deaths Has  
Come Down By Over 55 Percent. In his prepared remarks, General  
Petraeus argued, “The number of ethno-sectarian deaths, an important  
subset of the overall civilian casualty figures, has also declined  
significantly since the height of the sectarian violence in December.  
Iraq-wide, as shown by the top line on this chart, the number of  
ethno-sectarian deaths has come down by over 55%” [LINK]
However, The Overall Death Toll in Iraq Has Risen. According to  
Iraq’s Interior Ministry, which provided figures to The New York  
Times 2,318 civilians died violently in the country in August,  
compared with 1,980 in July. Statistics compiled from Iraqi  
government sources by Reuters and The Associated Press also showed  
significant increases, although the precise figures varied. [New York  
Times, 9/2/07]

I'm not talking about Jersey Kevin.  For you to say Conservativism 
is on the rise nationally - well you just aren't paying attention.

The only issue out there is Iraq.  All other issues that define 
people as conservative or liberal are barely in the political 
picture.

If you are going to be a political advisor, you'd better be able to 
survey the landscape.

Guess who was friends with Ann Coulter when they were both in

He said she is no act - she spoke back then exactly as she does now.

Tommy,

We should all try to get together at the Wonder Bar one night.   
Whether or not we can keep it open it would be good to have people  
from the list celebrating Asbury Park regardless of any other  
political or philosophical views.  There is one thing we generally  
have in common.  We may not all agree on the best way for Asbury to  
come back, but we all want Asbury to come back.

We will.  Mario's buying me beer the last night (I think it's 
September 30).

I of course owe Oak a beer or three.

I think apoojo owes me one, also.   

It's either going to be a funeral or a re-birth.  Let's hope for the 
latter.

[AsburyPark] talking heads

2007-09-10 Thread Kevin Brown
Conservativism

I did not use that word I said Conservatives  Individuals making it 
into mainstream media...

For years it was dominated by leftists...

The popularity and the fame of

Sean Hannity
Ann Coulter
even O'Rielly is conservative ...

I meant the talking heads...

Peace Out

published today:   Anyone familiar with my daily 'Cafferty File'
segments on CNN's The Situation Room knows I'm not exactly what you'd
call the mainstream media's poster boy for feel-good news and
commentary. In your face is more like it.   It's been a target-rich
seven years for someone like me who enjoys pushing people's buttons and

 The situation I see is how you go about selling something.
 
 If I walk into a place with couples (for example), empty nesters. 
 looking for something on the beach and willing to shell out over 
$1m 
 (each couple)
 
 1. EVERY unit should be available for sale (without begging). Open 
 the newspaper or turn on the TV...there are lots of opportunities 
for 
 people with this kind of DIPSOSABLE CASH. In the US, the Islands, 
 Europe etc.
 
 2. METRO CHUZTPAH - One pakring space. UNLESS u want to shell 
oout 
 an additonal $30,000 for a PARKING SPOT. Car not included. This 
isn't 
 NYC
 
 Wound up at Diamond Beach in Long Branch. I'll be buying one there, 
 priced for this market and standard units are finished AMAZING.
 
 As for North Beach, they still have a 10% off special on completed 
 units..
 
 They should take both take a hint from Hovnanian and run a 5 day 
SALE 
 for ANY UNIT.
 
 What do I know?


There is a problem with Diamond beach when the sewer authority in LB 
decides to freshen the air and in the heat... (shaking my head) thats 
why the west side of the building is so far below the east.

I had an opportunity to see the test reports for the SA, and they are 
not equipped to handle any more development.
