Our education initiatives have remained flat while rest of the world has

College graduation rates -- The U.S. was #2 in 1995; now we are # 15.

In M.I.T.'s freshman class, 46% are women.  8% are international
students.  25%  were not born in the U.S.  The overwhelming majority
have at least one parent or grandparent who was not born here.  And
there is no comitment to keeping international students here rather than
returning to Asia.

There are more women than men in several Departments of Science and
Engineering  at M.I.T.

The U.S. government invested 2% of GDP in the 1960's to reasearch
development.  Today it is pulled back to less than 1%.

One half of our economic growth after WWII came from technology.  China
has had a total commitment to research, development and education; it
now graduates more scientists and engineers tha the U.S.

I just have one qustion; was Asbury Park affected adversely by Weldon
and was the redevelopment HE signed on to, legal?  He knew, he'd have
to resign, once his corruption, became public, yet, he STILL had his
finger in the affairs of Asbury Park!  Shouldn't he have tabled
redevelopment, feigned illness, or something?  What he signed onto
seems illegal, just on the face of things!  Was his plan a payoff
deal?  Anyone who has the answers, can speak up!  Mario, your post,
brought to mind the questions I just asked.  I can't believe the greed
that's so pervasive.  You have the MAYOR of one town, working as the
administrator, in the town, he made his living off of, as a former
fireman.  He gets caught, with his hand in Ocean Township's till,
while having the power, to determine the fate of another town.  Was he
clever or what?  How many salaries and pensions, this not so dumb,
fenagler, was pulling down?  Anyone?  Would what's going on, been any
different?  My mind, is just inquiring.

 If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it

 local public official takes a bribe and no one knows at the time, is
 anyone in town actually hurt by it?
 
 A complaint filed by Marlboro Township in November asserts that the town
 was indeed damaged by the actions of four former public officials who
 accepted more than $300,000 in bribes from real estate developers
 between 1997 and 2004.
 
 At the core of the dispute is the township's contention that the four
 former public officials  Scannapieco; Planning Board member Stanley
 Young; municipal utilities chairman Richard Vuola, and Western Monmouth
 Utilities Authority executive director Frank Abate  conspired with
 real estate developers to defraud the township.
 
 But one of those corrupt officials  former Mayor Matthew V.
 Scannapieco, who admitted accepting $245,000 in cash and awaits
 sentencing  contends that Marlboro has no proof of such harm and is
 asking a judge to dismiss the township's complaint.
 
 The real estate developers named in the complaint are Anthony Spalliero
 and his son, Joseph Spalliero; brothers Bernard and Steven Meiterman,
 and Edward Kay, who worked with the Meitermans.
 
 The November complaint was filed in federal court and claims the
 officials and the developers engaged in a pattern of racketeering, in

I saw a story on CNN the other day about an NFL player that was drafted from 
some 
college in a 2 for 1 deal from some college. Basically, they wanted one 
particular player, 
but they had to take another guy to seal the deal. So far, the other guy hasn't 
played one 
single second, yet he's earned something like 4.7 million dollars.

Put it this way, for  the better part of 36 years (I'm 46...) NOTHING 
real spectacular every happened in AP other that some paint and go 
seek. For the past 4 years, individuals made some money, lost some 
money but paved the way for what is occurring today. 

It is a stroke of luck that you have those that are willing to battle 
and believe and that MM is at least cleaning up the mess along the BW 
and their overall view that they will be the savior - not jsut for 
the waterfront, for the community. Whether or not their vison of an 
upscale BW is right or wrong is another issue. 

Maybe one the best things is that these issues are out in the open 
and maybe done with - clearing the way for a real development team to 
not ahve to deal with the politcal bullshit that has plagued 
development in NJ

Instead of loking at what he did - you have to look at what ELSE can 
be done in AP and push that along - springwood cleanup and 
development, asbury ave, main street. Time for everyone get their act 
together and take a risk (like MM) and capitalize on MM's 
involvement, money and risk and most of all knowlege.

difference what parents teach, or try to teach their kids today.
   
  American kids today aim  for the ground. They want to be rap stars, models,

Actually - there are no Carousels left just a Carousel House.

There were at one time 3 Carousels around Wesley Lake; 1 in OG and 2 
in AP.

I predict that the Casino Carousel House will be turned into a food 
court...a replica (wink,wink) of the one at Monmouth Mall.

(Hey isn't that one supposed to be an interpretation of the 'Real' 
Casino Carousel House right here in AP ???)

Round and Round we go..

Re: [AsburyPark] 2 Million Minutes

2 Million Minutes which is a comparison of ...US schools vs.  the rest of 
the world. ... The reason I'm posting this here is because we  had a few big 
examples of this in our city. I'd love to see AP jump on the  band wagon and 
start pushing students to be more then ball throwers and  catchers.
Watch students going to and coming from various schools.  Strong  
correlations between number of students carrying home books for homework  and 
the success 
rates for schools.
 
Also, some of our surrounding high school districts tout their high  rate of 
college acceptances; what they don't publish is the high number who drop  out 
before getting a degree.  I used to share an article with my students  about 
the many business owners who preferred college degrees for their job  openings 
which didn't actually require a college degree. Why?  They  considered most 
high schools to be mere diploma mills.  A college degree,  they said, indicated 
perseverance and a good work ethic in the  applicant.
 
There are many private schools without intermural sports who have more  
applicants than they can accommodate.  Those on the secondary level  
concentrate, 
instead, on intramural sports: solid gym classes which  emphasize life-long 
physical fitness and life-long athletic recreation more than  competition.

  I think the boardwalk idea at Monmouth mall was based off of AP.  There 
intended to be a carousel in the center food court area.  accross from what is 
now Old Navy?  You can see the round shape on the floor, and the circular 
support system above it.  It was designed for it... but i think time showed it 
would be a waste to add it.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Chamber Names Carousel Awards

 I'd like to see a carousel in the Corousel House again, but i don't think 
its possable at this point.  Look at the direction the boardwalk is going 
in I don't think it would fit in with the stuff planned for the boardwalk.  
Times can change though, who knows!  I doubt it though...
   I was sitting behind members of MM at a previous counsil meeting.  A 
frequent towns person wondered over and began asking questions about amusments 
and other boardwalk attractions (like the water park he had heard of as being 
part of MM's plan).  Their answer to his questions was no..

It's not a waste. It's an attraction. Go to freehold mall. food court, ride and 
guess what - lots 
of bored surburban parents bringing their kids, riding the carousel, taking 
pics and enjoying 
that few minutes of quality time on the ride then the food court.

You want people to come down even in bad weather? 

You need a reason, other then for a sit down $30 pp affair. Not that people 
won't come for 
that buttake a look at a carnival trailer midway with cotton candy, popcorn 
and soda. Bring 
me the $. That and a ride like a carousel next to it.

2008-02-21 Thread Denise


I have the feeling MM is not planning to cater to a boardwalk filled
with children.  When they first showed their plans in City Council there
was nothing for children except a candy store with walls of candy. They
did not mention the water park that was proposed in the app.  MM in my
opinion is gearing the boardwalk to the people they will need to fill
the Condos that will be built on Ocean Ave.  The Condos being built are
for couples with no children.

I can remember the days when I was young and living in South Belmar how
we came to Asbury Park on special occasions ie Easter, Children's Day
for the amusement rides.  Is there still such a thing as children's day.
MM is not interested in history.  If Ap could survive on history there
would be no need to do anything to the buildings on the BW except some
paint.  The Boardwalk that we knew is HISTORY.  In someways I agree that
we need to move on to bigger and better things, but MM cannot forget the
families in AP because some of us are here for life.

Never was a waste, and it definitely wouldn't be.

   I see your point about the Freehold Mall... But i guess Monmouth Mall 
didn't see as a draw or people, otherwise why would have wente through and 
built it.  They've had quite a few years between now and when the boardwalk 
additions were added on.  Ah, who knows!
   Carnival rides, cotton candy, and others are good attractions.  However, 
it's kind of obvious that isn't the image the boardwalk is going for.  Like it 
or hate it, that appears to be what's going on!

   Exactly.  I wish it were different.  Do you really picture a boardwalk 
filled teens and screaming kids, while there are million dollar condos only 
feet away on the other side of Ocean ave?  I highly doubt it.  But again, we 
will have to wait and see what happens.  
   As the post up top mentions, MM didn't mention anything about a water 
park really.  They said they had ideas for it, but i'm guessing it's nothing 
major or else they would have had it ready.  Maybe it wasn't mentioned beasue 
it's not part of the summer 08'?
