RE: [AsburyPark] wonder bar
The Wonder Bar was only lit up to add a nice background for the holiday events at the beachfront. Gary Mottola asked me if I could light it up and since they have done so much to improve the area I was happy to comply. It's kind of rediculous when you stop and think about it!!! Why would you turn a buildings lights on, giving the illusion that it's open if it's not. Sure it looks good, but isn't that missleading to the visitors accross the street at CH? When you walked up close however you could see that it wasn't open.. The people who visited CH events, and havn't been up to date on the beachfronts activies might asssume its open. Just not that night. That AP had done something good, and saved a bar from 30 years ago. Little do they know, it was all for show. I don't think the WB is gone either. I don't think it will ever reopen in that building, but the location maybe. Ocean Ave is still sopose to have ground floor retail/or?, right? If we can somehow knock out all housing on that one corner that would be good. I can' picture being outside in front of CH, or the SWC and looking up at residential windows... Right near the park, the hotel, CH... It won't work... I take that back, it will work, however it will slowly kill more life out of AP. - Get easy, one-click access to your favorites.

Without even closing yet on the site, let alone beginning demolition and construction, the planned condos have all been pre-sold to Irish buyers. The Irish have been the most prolific buyers in NYC. Besides the obvious currency conversion discount, European real estate is extremely expensive relative to the US. Europe has maxed out development and land coverage over a much greater period of years than the US. Europeans look at the US as sparsely populated. While the Irish have experienced a great economy over the past decade, it is very difficult for Europeans to buy real estate. Homes are typically inherited and generations still share residences. It is quite uncommon in most of Europe for newly married couples to have their own home. Could you market AP to Europeans? Perhaps. Canadians and Brits have always favored the warmer climes.

--- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Prepared by Global Insight for The United States Conference of Mayors November 26, 2007 But help is on the way. From WSJ. Some Investors Fault Plan to Aid Home Borrowers Critics Say Rate Freeze May Prolong the Pain; Lenders' Shares Rise By DEBORAH SOLOMON, JAMES R. HAGERTY and LINGLING WEI December 1, 2007; Page A1 WASHINGTON -- A government-led plan to freeze interest rates on certain troubled subprime home loans drew criticism both from investors who foresee losses and from some analysts warning that it will merely prolong the pain of the mortgage crisis. But others said the Bush administration was making the right move to stave off dangers in the housing market. Shares of major home lenders moved higher. As much as $362 billion in U.S. subprime home mortgages with adjustable interest rates are due to reset at potentially higher rates in the coming year, according to Banc of America Securities, risking a wave of defaults by borrowers unable to afford the new monthly payments. That in turn could exacerbate a wave of write-offs by investors who now own those mortgages. Losses related to bad mortgages already have reached the tens of billions of dollars and have led to turmoil in the world's financial markets. [Mortgage] Fears that the problems could accelerate have led the U.S. Treasury and the mortgage industry to develop a plan that would postpone the higher rates for some borrowers. The success of the plan, details of which are still under discussion, may hang on the many investors in securities backed by mortgages. A coalition of lenders negotiating with the administration includes investor representatives, but the securities are held world-wide and it would be impossible to get everyone's approval. A deal could also spark lawsuits from investors who believe they're being cheated out of their money. Unlike in years past, when just a bank and a borrower were involved in a mortgage, today's loans have been bundled together, sliced into securities and sold to investors. That has created problems for officials trying to help borrowers, because so many parties are involved. Alan Fournier, a fund manager at Pennant Capital Management LLC, Chatham, N.J., predicted that the plan being pushed by the Treasury Department will prolong the pain of the housing slump. He said it would merely delay inevitable foreclosures for some people who can't afford their homes, while allowing holders of mortgage-backed securities to put off marking down their assets. This reduces the pressure short-term to bring everything to a clearing price, Mr. Fournier says. We really just need to let it wash through. Most subprime loans, which go to borrowers with poor credit records, carry an introductory teaser rate for two or three years before moving to a higher rate. The plan would keep the teaser rate temporarily for some borrowers. The outline of the Bush administration plan won praise from a diverse spectrum. Paul Krugman, the liberal New York Times columnist, offered kudos to the Bush administration on his blog, saying that while he needed to see more details, It seems that [Treasury Secretary] Henry Paulson is being much more proactive on the housing mess than I expected. House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, offered legislative help for the large-scale modification of loans, saying he was encouraged by reports of progress in efforts to help borrowers who are in danger of losing their homes. The plan is being negotiated by the Treasury Department and a coalition of mortgage-industry participants, including lenders, mortgage counselors and servicers -- the companies that collect mortgage payments. Many of the particulars need to be worked out, including how long the interest-rate freeze would last and which subprime borrowers would be eligible for relief. Interest rates on about two million adjustable mortgages are scheduled to jump over the next two years, threatening many of those borrowers with foreclosure. RELATED ARTICLES Setting Criteria on Mortgage Aid1 12/1/07 Moody's Warns Over Ratings of Some SIVS2 12/1/07 U.S., Banks Near A Plan to Freeze Subprime Rates3 11/30/07 Andy Chow, who manages a $7 billion portfolio of mortgage bonds and other fixed-income assets for SCM Advisors in San Francisco, said the success of the plan will depend on how many borrowers qualify. Given what we know right now, it would benefit a smaller number of borrowers than the market is assuming, he said. But if they expand this notion to include more loans, such as those that haven't reset but have already been delinquent or those that have already reset, it could be a big deal for the markets. The stocks of financial institutions involved in the plan rose sharply in Friday trading, in part because of expectations that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates but also because of hope that the government's plan might put
[AsburyPark] The Mortgage Crisis Report to the U.S. Conference of Mayors
Prepared by Global Insight for The United States Conference of Mayors November 26, 2007 _Global Insight // Highlight_ (http://www.globalinsight.com/Highlight/HighlightDetail11078.htm) Using Global Insight's proprietary databases and extensive housing analyses, the report for the U.S. Conference of Mayors, The Mortgage Crisis: Economic and Fiscal Implications for Metro Areas, examines the effects of the housing recession and mortgage crisis on the economic growth prospects for 361 of the nation's metropolitan areas. Weak residential investment, lower spending and income in the construction industries, as well as curtailed consumer spending resulting from decreased home equity will have multiplier effects on the nation's economy. Other report findings include: * The foreclosure crisis alone will reduce home values by an additional $519 billion in 2008, bringing the total forecast of lost equity for the nation's homeowners to $1.2 trillion. * In 2008, the economy will grow at a rate of 1.9%, a full percentage point lower than would have been the case without the mortgage crisis. * Foreclosures will increase by at least 1.4 million in 2008; these homes represent a market value of $316 billion. * In 10 states, representing a cross section of the United States, the aggregate loss in tax revenue will equal $6.6 billion. * Home price declines across the United States will average 7% in 2008, ranging as high as 16% in California. * Consumer spending will slip to 2.0% growth, well below a 3.1% gain in incomes. * Housing starts will continue to decline until the second quarter of 2008, when the annual rate of housing starts will be less than 1 million. * Sales of existing homes also will continue to fall, by another 10% in 2008.

Ireland is. Ireland's economic miracle demonstrates the adage fortune favors the well prepared. (James Burnham) from _Midweek Perspectives: We can import the 'Irish Miracle'_ (http://www.post-gazette.com/forum/20010321edflor3.asp) The Irish Miracle was powered by a new model of growth, premised upon the Three Ts of economic development - technology, talent and tolerance from which we can learn. Technology: Under the savvy leadership of the Industrial Development Authority, the Irish worked aggressively to recruit leading high-tech companies through a policy of industrialization by invitation. Financial and tax-related incentives helped recruit the first wave of companies such as IBM, Lotus, Intel, Microsoft, Dell, Gateway and Oracle, which were also lured by the thick talent pool emerging from the country's world-class universities. Not content to simply recruit high-tech from abroad, the Irish government formed a body known as Enterprise Ireland, to support entrepreneurship and venture capital and foster the indigenous high-tech industry. Today, top Irish companies such as Baltimore Technologies, Iona Technologies and NUA are players on the global stage. The Irish software industry now consists of some 700 firms, employing over 18,000 people. Today, Ireland is the fifth-largest producer and second-largest exporter of packaged software in the world - second only to the United States. Talent: By investing in its higher education system, Ireland simultaneously bolstered is ability both to generate and to attract top talent. Since the 1960s, the Irish government has invested heavily in higher education and, in particular, it has supported the formation of technical skills in electronics and computer-related disciplines through a system of regional technical colleges. Today, 60 percent of Ireland's university students major in engineering, science or business. And with a growing job market and exciting lifestyle options, fewer and fewer have any reason to leave the country. Tolerance and Lifestyle: But both of these more traditional economic development efforts would not have worked if Ireland did not support and reinforce them with the third T. Long a conservative nation, Ireland built upon its legacy of culture, art and music to become a center for bohemian energy and an eclectic milieu of scenes, lifestyles and people. Today the streets teem with a mixture of people - from buttoned-down businessmen to geeky software developers, edgy black-garbed artists and musicians. In a remarkable fusion of history and progressiveness, Ireland has turned cities like Dublin into lifestyle meccas for dynamic creative people and those who want to be around such amenities. == And we still do variations on Boola, Boola!

Keep up the momentum that there is no and see that the current developers continue to build, sell and develop again what they started. The small folks have filled in the mean time which is and was the key to the big picture. Fill up those condos, and AP will evolve to some form of it's current state and past.

[AsburyPark] BUCKS Schleping for Wii End Toys
In a message dated 12/3/2007 2:23:27 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The first tag we pulled - a request for a certain wii game. This started a discussion amongst our family. We don't have a wii console, because it is $250.00 and I told my kids I'm not spending that much money on a toy (even though they really want one). What do you think? I say back to stick ball, tinker toys, and Etch-a-Sketch. Steven Weber is a bit more of a curmudgeon today. A snippet: That's why, I'm not proud to say at the start of another Christmas season, things suck the way they do because reality has to be approximated, because Wii is the rage instead of actually doing whatever the simulation is based on. We've become ever more used to the bland, the general, the mediocre. Our senses are dulled and so is our judgment. CNN and FOX are retarded brutes compared to, say, the BBC World News, which has a far more catholic response to the expectations of its audience. But back in America, mass mediocrity has become the adhesive that binds its citizenry who are no longer incentivized to want better education, to be more vigilant about food and product safety, to expect responsible civil service and to dare hope for accountable leaders. That stuff is so Greatest Generation. What is sexy is the low hanging fruit of low expectations and lower standards. No longer is this nation the agrarian Jeffersonian society whose survival depends on the wisdom of its inhabitants but rather the shambling pleasure-seeking Brotherhood of the Uninspired Consuming Knucklehead (or BUCKS for short.

[AsburyPark] Fishman in AP
Over the years, we've had several debates about how Fishman got the Redevelopment rights and whether the got a sweetheart deal, an inside deal, etc. I've always taken the postion that not only did he not get any special deal, but anyone could have walked into the bankruptcy court and offered more than the $13 million Fishman did and walked away with the rights. I based that on the bankruptcy trustee having one goal in mind - to raise as much money for creditors as he can. He would have taken any bigger deal than Fishman offered, but no one offered. I say some support for my assertion in the press today. Read below: Bidder on Dwek property out $50G Among the bulging ranks of bankers, investors and others who lost money in Solomon Dwek's property empire collapse, few compare to John Bardis. Bardis, the owner of the Golden Bell Diner on Route 9 in Freehold Township, didn't know Solomon Dwek from King Solomon. But Dwek's tangle of litigation and bankruptcy has cost Bardis more than $50,000 and left him with one big lesson learned: Bidder beware. The justice is dead, justice is sick, the stocky 56-year-old Greek native said last week. I spent money, a lot of time and money. Bardis hadn't heard of Dwek until May 2006 when a state court judge took control some 350 properties owed by Dwek after PNC Bank accused him of bouncing a $25 million check. Construction workers walked away from a half-dozen unfinished Dwek building sites, FBI agents charged Dwek with bank fraud and a state court judge took the first steps toward selling off Dwek's assets to pay $350 million in claims of debt and fraud. Stalled in mid-construction was a two-story 7,300-square-foot retail building on Main Street in Farmingdale. It was only a shell of a building with a plywood roof and a finished brick facing. But it had ample parking and a house on the property. Bardis would drive by it during his commutes to the diner, and he took a liking to it. When he read in the Asbury Park Press the judge was going to sell Dwek's holdings, Bardis moved. He arranged for a loan, offered $1.3 million for the property, borrowed the money for a 10 percent deposit, and on the appointed day last December, showed up to bid in court. He almost didn't get it. Going once, going twice, gone, Superior Court Judge Alexander D. Lehrer intoned after Bardis let another man outbid him for $1.45 million. Bardis had immediate loser's remorse. He gingerly raised an index finger, and that small motion caught the judge's eye. Not gone, Lehrer enthused. Bardis bid another $15,000 and won both the auction and a court order to buy the property for $165,000 more than his initial offer. Lehrer told Bardis congratulations, and asked if he would be able to stop at the building to buy coffee. The closing date on the Bell Plaza was set for February. But days before that date, the building was not gone again. On Feb. 9, PNC Bank and two other creditors forced Dwek into an involuntary federal bankruptcy. The were frustrated with both the pace of the sales in Lehrer's courtroom and their chances of getting their money back under state law. The move stopped the sale of the Farmingdale property and 11 others ordered sold by Lehrer, but which hadn't closed. It also opened up the possibility that someone else could buy the Farmingdale property at a higher price from the bankruptcy court. Even so, Bardis said he believed he would get it. When the bankruptcy trustee twice asked him to pay to put up fencing around the trash-strewn lot that had become a hangout for local teenage skateboarders, he said he did, at an expense of about $3,400. Bardis said he felt the request showed Dwek's court-appointed bankruptcy trustee, Charles A. Stanziale Jr., was treating him as the owner. Finally, the bankruptcy court scheduled a hearing on the sale for last Tuesday, and it invited any higher and better offers on the property. Then, the day before Thanksgiving, Bardis learned another bidder was interested. At court in Trenton Nov. 27, an unhappy Bardis watched as his lawyer and nephew, Constantine Bardis, battle for the property again, this time against Hall Construction Co. of Farmingdale. Within seconds, and in $10,000 increments, Hall bid the property to $1.585 million, out of Bardis' range. It went up $120,000, Stanziale noted after the hearing. It's his job to get the most possible money at from Dwek's assets and to return it to Dwek's creditors. The sale also makes it likely that the property, now an abandoned eyesore on Farmingdale's Main Street, will be open for business. Mark D. Hall, president of Hall Construction, could not be reached for comment. We're so glad that someone will take it and finish the project, said Ken Wester, the co-owner of Woody's Roadside Tavern, which is across the street from the property. But it won't be John Bardis, who lost a-year-and-a-half of effort and more than $50,000. That

A dramatic shake-up of a school culture. Moving from a culture that rewards relationships to one that rewards results. In Paterson district officials rolled out SchoolStat last spring to help turn around a school system that has been under state control since 1991 because of fiscal mismanagement and poor academics. The district's 27,222 students are among the poorest in the state. Relentless follow-up. Two years ago, it took more than three months to repair a chair in the school auditorium that he had reported as broken so long, in fact, that a woman tried to sit on it during a parents' meeting with the superintendent and fell to the ground. But this fall, Mr. Hoff reported a broken gym door, and it was fixed the next day. Pros Cons at link above.

The risk is that you could be modifying loans for people who don't need it, said Sharon Greenberg, director of mortgage strategy at Barclay's. There's only so much you can do without talking to the borrower. To decide whether a person qualifies for an extension of the teaser rate, a mortgage lender or a loan-servicing company would have to analyze the person's monthly income and expenses to determine whether he or she could realistically make the higher payments. Industry analysts and executives estimate that payments on many subprime mortgages are set to jump 30 percent or more and were skeptical about the government's ability to produce a high-speed approach to handling thousands of cases with a few simple principles.

While the Charter School was praised by Andre and Oprah and looks real modern with a bridge between buildings etc etc. there's more to it then the building, the money and the ideas - it's commitment. Some kids do great, others have problems. Curious as I was, I looked up the school on the Internet. The school as it turns out has problems with teacher turnover, admin policies and more. But - it is an alternative for education. What I did catch Agassi say is that in this school - the cost PER KID is $5700 (I believe that was the number) to educate. http://www.agassiprep.org/about.html You know what I say - pack it up.
