‘Flying’ Wallenda Eyes Record at Trop

Are You The Next King of the Blues?

To say that Nik Wallenda, a seventh-generation member of the internationally famous family of acrobats, was born as a daredevil would be a slight exaggeration. He began at age two. “I started walking the wire as soon as I could walk, and at four years old I would walk [the wire] on my own without any assistance,� Wallenda, 32, tells Atlantic City Weekly. “At age 13 I began performing 30 feet above the ground without any safety nets, so I’ve literally been walking the wire for 30 years now.� This Friday, April 29, Wallenda (of the “Flying Wallendas,� who can trace their daredevil roots back to the 1780s) will perform two stunts at the Tropicana, the second of which, if successful, will earn him a fourth Guinness Book of World Records recognition. At 11am Wallenda will high-wire walk across the Fiesta Plaza (doing tricks, about 50 feet up, without a net), and at 4pm he will execute the “Wheel of Death� act from the 23rd floor of the Trop’s South Tower. “The unique part of [the wheel] is that it has never been done this high in the air, and I’ve never done it off the edge of a building, so those will also be Guinness records,� says Wallenda. “For years I’ve wanted to perform the Wheel of Death [self described as ‘a giant hamster wheel’] from an amazing building in an iconic location. This is a huge dream come true for both the challenge and the beauty of the location.� Wallenda’s 11am and 4pm appearances at the Trop are both free and open to the public. (See video online at acweekly.com/ multimedia) — Ray Schweibert

So you think you’re pretty good on that ax, especially when it comes to the blues. Well, thanks to the national chain Guitar Center, locally found at the Hamilton Commons in Mays Landing, you have a chance to prove it. Guitar Centers around the county are looking for the next King of the Blues and local competitions begin Thursday, May 5. The Mays Landing store will hold three preliminary competitions also including May 12 and 19 before holding an area final June 2. “We basically have about 10 acts at night, with the top two winners moving onto the finals,� says Joe Edmunds, store manager for the local Guitar Center. “The contest is in its sixth year and was initially called Guitar-mageddon. But that was more for the speed guys and it was broadened. Since everything is rooted in the blues, that was what we moved to.� Contestants perform solo, but with the help of blues backing tracks produced by guitarist and Grammywinning producer Pete Anderson. “They can choose from a number of styles with the backing tracks,� Edmunds says. “The whole thing is geared to the guy who has been picking at his guitar for years. There’s no entry fee. If they can go all the way, they’ll end up on stage playing with some pretty big-name people.� This year’s winner will play with guitarist Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers Band and Gov’t. Mule. The national winner also receives $25,000, but prizes are also awarded at various levels. The performances are free and open to the public. For information call Guitar Center in Mays Landing at 383-6979 or visit online at guitarcenter.com/kingofthe blues. — Mike Pritchard

LL THAT SQUAWKING IS MORE than hungry seagulls waiting for some easy pickings to wash up on the beach. It’s also coming from the Parrothead rumor mill that’s been getting its feathers all ruffled for weeks about the possible return of the world’s wealthiest and most famous beach bum. After playing back-to-back summer dates in Atlantic City in 2008 and 2009 — his first Boardwalk gigs ever — Jimmy Buffett sat out the summer of ’10, much to the disappointment of his loyal local legion of fans, who call themselves Parrotheads. Now comes several unconfirmed reports that Buffett’s 2011 Fin Land tour will stop in Atlantic City in August, although no dates have been mentioned. Buffett’s Web site doesn’t include Atlantic City on the list of announced concerts, although his annual visit to the Camden waterfront is scheduled for June 23. However, Buffett has nothing scheduled between Chicago on July 23 and Jones Beach in New York on Aug. 19. In the past, the Buffett camp announces a block of shows and then fills in additional dates later. Since he’s booked pretty solidly from the Jones Beach gig through the last week in August, an Atlantic City show — if it’s going to happen — would probably be something during the first three weeks of the month. Naturally, Boardwalk Hall — which he sold out within minutes for his first two shows there — is the most likely venue for a Buffett gig. In fact, several unofficial Buffett Web sites are not only confidently saying he’ll be playing Boardwalk Hall, but have also mentioned he’ll be performing two shows with his Coral Reefer Band — Aug. 7 and Aug. 10. So far, the Hall’s calendar is wide open for the entire month of August, so the big room on the Boardwalk is available. Since Buffett rarely plays more than one show per city, a pair of A.C. concerts three days apart would be a true rarity. The possibility of shows on Sunday and Wednesday nights makes sense, especially from the casino industry’s perspective. The gaming halls don’t need much help attracting Saturday night crowds in the summer. But a Sunday show would hold the typical weekend crowd in town longer, and a Wednesday show would provide a midweek financial boost to Atlantic City’s struggling casinos by bringing an extra 12,500 people to the Boardwalk who wouldn’t Join us on Facebook:

ordinarily be here on a Wednesday night. Buffett’s organization hasn’t returned several e-mail requests for information — no surprise there. And while I wouldn’t make travel plans based on rumors, Parrotheads have proven to be fairly reliable when it comes to information about the singer, who hasn’t had a chart-topping hit since “Margaritaville” in 1977. The song not only became an instant summer anthem, but also led to a business empire and brand that now includes restaurants, a hotel in Florida, a clothing and footwear line and a charitable foundation. Meanwhile, with or without Buffett, the entertainment schedule for spring and summer — while far from complete — is shaping up nicely. Already, there’s a good mix of acts that range from the new and contemporary to the tried and true. Not surprisingly, Borgata is leading the way with an eclectic array of shows. The casino has lured singer and songwriter Paul Simon to its Event Center on May 28, which will mark his local solo debut. The casino has also booked the ’60s band The Monkees for June 18. The pre-fab four (actually down to three now) will play Borgata as part of the group’s 45th anniversary tour, and that show has already sold out the property’s 1,000-seat Music Box. Borgata has guaranteed itself a demographically diverse crowd that night by also booking rock and rap star Kid Rock — who recently took a country turn — who’ll likely fill the 2,200-seat Event Center. The Go-Go’s, the all-female rock band that first began making music waves 30 years ago, play the House of Blues at Showboat on June 4, song stylist Michael Bublé hits Boardwalk Hall on June 11 and country music star LeAnn Rimes performs an acoustic set at Resorts Casino Hotel on June 24. And, building on the foundation they created last summer, the 10-man a cappella group Straight No Chaser returns to Harrah’s Resort for a summer-long run June 21 through Sept. 4. ÊN

XPECTATIONS CAN GET PRETTY high in Atlantic City, especially where the Borgata is concerned. The casino always seems to set the gold standard for the resort. And that usually applies to poker as well, with the casino’s nearly monthly efforts to present special tournament attractions in its poker room. The centerpiece for the casino is September’s Borgata Open, a World Poker Tour stop, but the casino always draws well for its other seasonal opens (spring, summer, winter). So, it could be easy to look at the turnouts for the casino’s current spring open and say they’ve been disappointing. For example, the Spring Open Championship (which will have crowned a winner by the time this gets to print) has drawn only 447 players and a total buy-in of $1,117,500 for the $2,500 + $200 event. Plus it’s a double-play tournament, which means players could buy in on Day 1A, and if they busted out, they could buy in again on Day 1B. So the final 447 represents buy-ins, not individual players as some may have entered twice. While that easily covers the Borgata’s $500,000 guarantee, it’s well off the 717 players that turned out for the Winter Open Championship in late January. That $3,300 tournament covered a $2 million guarantee. So you might ask what’s wrong with spring play at the Borgata? Well, nothing. If you have four seasonal opens, one is bound to be a little less successful than the others. The Spring Open is the youngest of the bunch and is in only its second year. We’ve already discussed in this column some of the changes that have been made between last year and this year’s open. This year’s open was four days shorter than last year’s and had significantly fewer high buy-in tournaments to attract pros. The open was shortened to accommodate Easter, which in 2010 fell before the open even began. Still, the open championship started on Easter Sunday and drew a low turnout of only 123 players. More than 300 showed up for Monday’s Day 1B. Seems chocolate bunnies trumped opening day. Join us on Facebook:

We’ve also mentioned that the spring event faced much stiffer competition from around the country than Borgata opens usually do. This month featured major WSOP circuit events in Las Vegas as well as North American Poker Tour events and World Poker Tour events in various spots. It’s a lot more action than January saw. Take the Spring Open as simply a regional event designed to pump up the city’s early season play, and the tournament looks a lot better. It started with a healthy 726 players for its initial event, a $350 buy-in, and posted respectable, if not record-breaking turnouts for most of its run. While some events had low turnouts — a $1000 buy-in drew only 90 players for example — some others, inexplicably, exploded. A $170 + $30 event last week drew 990 players and a total buy-in of $168,300. That’s easily the highest turnout for the open. Who can say why? Maybe the lack of pros in town made the lower buy-in more appealing. Or maybe a bunch of online players, still in shock from Black Friday (when the U.S. Govt. shut down several online poker sites) were in town look for a poker fix. Whatever the reason, the Borgata managed to generate some excitement and fill up its cavernous poker room when nobody else in town was doing anything. In fact, there’s almost nothing on the schedule for the next few months at the city’s poker rooms offering special tournament action. Oh, except the Borgata has scheduled a guaranteed $250,000 Deepstack event for May 15-18 ($1,000 + $50) and its $100,000 Saturday Series Deepstack event ($350 + $50) for May 21. Let’s face it, without Borgata, the city’s poker scene would be much duller. In another item, Caesars Entertainment’s combined bad-beat jackpot saw one of its smallest hits ever April 17. The jackpot hit for $267,581.63 at Bally’s. The bad-beat winner was paid $80,691, the hand winner got $53,933 and 321 players in Caesars Ent. rooms — Caesars, Harrah’s Resort, Showboat and Bally’s — received $417. Also, the Taj has a Kentucky Derby promotion in its poker room May 7. Pick the Top 10 finishers in the 2011 Kentucky Derby, in order, and win $50,000 cash.

Sunday, May 1, from 2-6pm, McCullough’s Emerald Golf Links on Ocean Heights Avenue in EHT hosts the inaugural Golf Outing for the eeFuerst Foundation for Brain Cancer Research. My friend Ava Holly Lewis organized this fundraiser in memory of her beloved mother, Edith Fuerst, who passed away two years ago from brain cancer. She was never sick a day in her life and would light up any room just by walking into it, but after the diagnosis she sadly passed four weeks later. Just a few short months after that, Ava lost her father, Edward Fuerst. Currently Ava has a bill in the Senate to make May 20 (her mother’s birthday) “All Health Causes Day.â€? She announced the launching of this foundation last year on May 20, and garnered support from many local dignitaries, municipalities and others. It’s important that we support our friends in the community. You can register to play online at mcculloughsgolf.com or contact Ava directly at 609-457-4103. There are various sponsorship packages available that are all very reasonable and, of course, for a great cause. Plus, after the fun day of golfing, there will be an after-party at Mangia by the Greens inside McCullough’s clubhouse. See you there! I want to give a shout out to Captain Harry, who I met at a function at Pistol Pete’s in Pleasantville last weekend. He pulled on my heartstrings while explaining about how fisherman tend to miss their families while being out at sea for days at a time. So — as long as he has a copy of Atlantic City Weekly on his boat — I just wanted to wish him well. ĂŠN

AVE YOU EVER ASSESSED A situation and thought, “There has to be more to it, right?� Sometimes things aren’t as black and white as they seem. In many instances there is a gray area that has to be interpreted — like when someone is telling you their side of a story and you believe them, but then you hear another side to the same story that seems to make sense too. As the old saying goes, “there are three sides to every story: yours, mine and the truth.� How can a society skeptical about everything, due largely to a definitive lack of trust, look at matters from all perspectives? Should we give others the benefit of the doubt or should everything be cut and dry? I posed this question on Facebook — Are you someone who is cut and dry, who see things in black and white? If not, what advice can you give someone who doesn’t see the gray? I loved the responses, including these: Maureen Gallagher-Bugdon: “Some things become less black and white with age and wisdom, other things are just the opposite. It’s not whether you see gray or black and white, it’s knowing when to see it either way.� I can’t agree more. Maria Sacco Handle said that she is pretty cut and dry and tries to see things that way, unless it comes to negotiating. There is always middle ground when it comes to negotiation, and as long as it’s a win-win for everyone involved, then the gray area works. Kristen Wickham agreed that she also tends to be a black-and-white person. She likes going by the book or by the rules. But she adds that there are those few times when presented with a problem, everyone will approach that same problem in a different way. As long as the goal is met, though, that’s all that matters. Izzy Posner added that depth may be more important than shades of black and white. I agree with him too. We shouldn’t take everything at face value. Learning the facts behind something and understanding where they’re coming from is crucial to our decision-making process. The bottom line is that when faced with any situation in life, try to detach yourself and look at it from all sides. There is always an underlying explanation as to why something happens. And even if you can’t figure

Did Sinatra Sing In Italian?

By Jerry Blavat

O

NCE AGAIN, GREETINGS AND salutations. Before getting to your questions, I want to thank the folks at Caesars, including boss man Don Marrandino, and Georges Perrier and Chris Scarduzio, who together run Mia Restaurant at Caesars, for the wonderful hospitality bestowed upon all of us who taped the Time-Life Malt Shop Memories show for PBS recently. Chris and Georges took time out to cook for every one of the stars of the show (held earlier this month at Caesars’ Circus Maximus Theater), including Frankie Avalon, Chris Montez, Bobby Rydell, and all the groups. We’ll let you know when it will be televised, and you can check geator.net for updates. But now, let’s ask the Geator. First, we’ve got a trivia question for you. Which female has the most Oscars? Answer at end of column. Jerry, was that you in the front row of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction? — Ian Schultz

Sorrento,â€? entirely in Italian, and he also sang a portion of “I Have But One Heartâ€? in Italian. Later on he planned to record an album of Italian love songs for Reprise, but that never came to be. He also sang a chorus of “Santa Luciaâ€? in Italian, along with Perry Como and the president of Italy, in a concert given at the White House in 1982 which was televised by PBS. We saw the name Sidney Kimmel credited as a producer on the movie The Lincoln Lawyer. Is that the same Sidney Kimmel of the Kimmel Center who is your friend? — Fran & Greg Lots of people don’t know that Sidney has been producing movies for quite a while, beginning with Clan of the Cave Bear. He also produced 9½ Weeks, The Kite Runner, United 93, Breach, and many others. His next release will be a comedy, One for the Money, with Debbie Reynolds, Katherine Heigl, and John Leguizamo — who, by the way, once expressed interest in playing the Geator if and when a screenplay were written based on the article that appeared in Vanity Fair several years ago.

J ERRY B LAVAT

I never really heard Frank Sinatra sing in Italian nor did I hear him speak Italian. Did he speak or sing in Italian like Dean Martin?P.S. Looking forward to your book. — Jim Chimienti Thank you. Frank was never as comfortable with the language as other singers such as Dean. In the early years, when he recorded for Columbia, he did one Italian standard, “Come Back to Join us on Facebook:

Yes, that was me, along with my dear friend Lloyd Price. When Neil Diamond saw me with Lloyd, he came offstage and had us join him in singing Answer to trivia question: Not an “Sweet Caroline.� It was completely unexpected and unrehearsed, but it was actress but Edith Head, who won eight a kick.

Develop a Targeted Job Search Plan

A

nyone who has been in the job search in the past knows how paralyzing it is to figure out where to start. In this article, I am going to walk you through the initial steps of how you can start your job search by compiling a targeted prospecting and networking list through linkedin.com. You want to develop a list of your Tier A, Tier B, and Tier C companies, so you can better organize your job searching efforts. I’d suggest only including your top 10-20 in the Tier A list and then let the rest be categorized accordingly in the Tier B and C lists.

Five Steps for Developing Your Job Search Prospecting List via LinkedIn 1. Go to LinkedIn.com and sign in. 2. Click on the “Companies� Tab. 3. In the “Company Name or Keyword,� type in the Industry keyword. If you want to narrow your search, include the postal code. For example, I typed in “Healthcare� for the industry and my zip code to narrow my search results. 4. Click “Search Companies.� 5. On the left-hand side, you can modify your search results. For example, if you want to return results for companies who have job postings on LinkedIn, then click the last box on the left-hand side and click the “search� button.

tion, and how you are connected with people who work at the company. You can follow companies of interest and receive e-mails when people leave the company, are hired into a position, or promoted into a new position. The interesting angle is you will also see the position vacated, thus giving you insight into a possible “hidden job market.� On the company page, you can click, “Check Out Insightful Statistics About {Company’s Name} Employees.� Here, you will see where that company’s employees worked prior to being hired. Why is this helpful? You might discover other companies you never considered or knew about to include on your job searching prospecting list. The companies are generally hyperlinked, so you can learn more about a particular company on their company page.

Cast Your Networking Relationships Far and Wide

The second piece in your job search plan is to develop a targeted list of networking contacts within these companies that you’ve listed. An internal recommendation within a company facilitated by a networking contact is going to yield more results than a coldcall. Consider these facts regarding the competitive job market landscape: 98.3 percent of companies are defined as small businesses (100 employees or less) and less than .29 percent of companies have more than 500 employees. The know, like, and trust factor is going to be a critical component, especially in the small business sector. LinkedIn provides some great, free Below, I’ve listed five steps for locatinformation about company size, Web ing targeted networking contacts on site URL, revenues, company descrip- LinkedIn:

Hopefully, at this point, you have several first-degree connections so this will yield useful information. 2. You will arrive at your results page and for each result, you will see a hyperlink to the number of people who are in your network. These people will be second-degree connections since you selected it in your search parameters. 3. You can then click on the “19 people in your network,” for example, to get an expanded view of these connections from each company who are in your network. 4. On the expanded view of the second-degree connection, you will see “In Common: 1 (or more) shared connection[s].” It is a hyperlink and when you click it, you will discover exactly how you are connected with this person. 5.

Connect with people at your target companies with whom you will add value and remember networking’s No. 1 rule: G.I.V.E. Always looks for ways to connect people with other people who can facilitate opportunities, send articles that might interest them, provide resources for projects that you know would help streamline what they are doing, and more. As long as you give, it will come full circle. Both times my husband was in a job search (one job was offshored and the other company closed its doors two years after he was hired), it was a networking contact that facilitated the next job opportunity for him. Target your job search by developing a focused list on where you want to work and engage in connecting with networks.

Google Yourself: Place your name in quotation marks (i.e. “Kristen Jacoway”) in the search box on Google. What shows up in the first three pages? iProspect conducted a study that found that 92 percent of people survey only view the first three pages of results. Does Google reflect your unique promise of value that you can offer to a potential employer? 2. Are You Digitally Distinct, Disguised, Dissed, or Dabbling? You can use a tool called the Online Identity Calculator onlineidcalculator. com to discover how you compare with people at your professional level. The tool helps you to make sense of your Google results. Knowing what Google says about you is a critical piece of your career management. 3.

Protect Your Online Identity In December 2009, research commissioned by Microsoft found that 79 percent of U.S. hiring managers and job recruiters reviewed online information about potential job candidates. If someone Googled you, are they likely to find information that supports that personal brand for which you want to be known or not? Consider this — in this same study, they found that 70 percent of U.S. hiring managers have rejected candidates based on what they found online about that person. Not only are we finding that employers and recruiters are utilizing Google as a background check, but also postsecondary institutions. Kaplan found in their research that 9 percent of business schools, 15 percent of law schools, and 14percent of medical schools are already using social networking sites to

YOUR ONLINE ID What is Online Identity? The results that show up on a Google search on your name. Your Online Identity should reflect what you want to convey to prospective employers. Online ID Calculator is a free tool that plots your Google search results on a four-quadrant graph to show whether you are Digitally Distinct, Dabbling, Dissed, or Disguised. Vizibility.com is a great tool designed to help you highlight the top 5 Google results you want shown when a person clicks on your Vizibility.com URL. Vizibility has free and paid options.

Any result that shows up on a Google search of your name that is unflattering – video, picture, text, etc. Reputation.com, for a fee, will monitor your online reputation, contacting websites individually to request that they remove offending items.

tool, called Vizibility (vizibility.com), launched in 2009, raises your visibility with the Google results that are only applicable to you and best demonstrates your skills and abilities. To join Vizibility, you simply enter your first and last name, companies where you’ve work, and click “Get Vizibility.” The next page will show you the Google results found on your name. The feature I love is that you can remove listings that are not about you – and you can rank order up to five results to show up on your “Google Me” badge that Vizibility will generate. Once you’ve selected your Top 5 results, then click “Save and Get Button.” You will then create your Search Me account where you customize your Vizibility URL (e.g vizibility. com/KristenJacoway). You can use your Vizibility vanity URL on your LinkedIn profile, your Twitter profile, and more.

You can request an introduction through this first-degree connection, who will, in turn, determine whether or not to forward your message on to the desired recipient or to a shared connection (if it’s a third degree network). The feature helps you to potentially connect by invitation if you don’t know their email address or you were not a colleague or classmate in the past. • LinkedIn InMail – gives you the ability to contact any LinkedIn member directly, without an introduction. InMails are private messages that protect the recipient’s privacy. You will see the “Send InMail” link in the upper right area of the person’s Profile (however, the person has to have set up their contact setting to be open to accepting InMails). The feature helps you to potentially connect by invitation if you don’t know their email address or you were not a colleague or classmate in the past.

What Is LinkedIn?

Top Five New LinkedIn Features for People in a Job Search

What is LinkedIn? According to LinkedIn’s “About� page, they “operate the world’s largest professional network on the Internet with more than 100 million members in over 200 countries and territories.� How can you sign up? Go to linkedin. com to sign up for a member account. Who uses LinkedIn? According to LinkedIn’s “About� page, “LinkedIn counts executives from all 2010 Fortune 500 companies as members; its hiring solutions were used by 73 of the 'PSUVOF DPNQBOJFT BT PG .BSDI 2011.� Where are members located on LinkedIn? LinkedIn’s About page lists UIF GPMMPXJOH TUBUJTUJDT . NJMMJPO

1. Company Pages: In April 2010, LinkedIn released the Company Profiles with the ability for you to follow companies where you are interested in working. The unique feature of following companies is that you are now able to see developments at these companies as they unfold. The events could be business development opportunities, job openings, and many key company insights. A new “Career Tab� on company profiles was added JO 4FQUFNCFS UIBU FOBCMFT ZPV UP view a range of professional opportunities at a company as well as facilitating your connections with recruiters at the DPNQBOZ .PSF UIBO NJMMJPO DPNQBnies have profiles on LinkedIn. t .

Why LinkedIn? LinkedIn is a powerful way for you to build an online identity so that when an employer or recruiter Googles you, they will find relevant, on-brand information about you. LinkedIn is a powerful tool that will facilitate you to re-connect, establish, and maintain key networking relationships and provide value to them through recommendations, answering questions, and more. 0O .BSDI -JOLFE*O SFWFBMFE that they had achieved a major milestone - 100 million professionals worldwide were registered as LinkedIn memCFST &RVBMMZ BT JNQPSUBOU UIFZ BSF growing at approximately one million new LinkedIn members every week!

LinkedIn Today is tailored based on what your connections and industry peers are reading and sharing. Probably the most interesting aspect is your ability to drill down and find out what professional, industry, or company is sharing this information. By the way, there is an iPhone app for this feature as well.

CAREER (Continued from preceding page) 3. Revamped Jobs Experience in LinkedIn Groups: Joining like-minded professionals in LinkedIn Groups is a great way to forge networking contacts. In March 2011, LinkedIn unveiled new features in LinkedIn Groups that make it easier to discover quality, relevant career opportunities within their groups. When you go to your group’s page, you will now see tabs across the top that include: “Discussions,� “Members,� “Promotions,� “Jobs,� “Search,� “Manage,� and more. Click on the “Jobs� tab and you will see a box on the top, left-hand side that gives you the options for “Jobs,� “Career Discussions,� or “Search All Jobs.� 4. Skills and Expertise — Beta: The Skills and Expertise feature launched in February 2011. On your profile page, you can click the tab at the top called, “More� and from the drop down box, select “Skills.� The Skills feature is still in beta, but already offers some great features for someone in a job search. I can enter my skills in the “Search Skills & Expertise� box and select the keyword that matches it. I can then “Add Skill� to my profile by clicking the box and can see, at a glance, the trends in this skill set. For example, I searched “Online Identity� and found that this professional training and coaching industry is experiencing a 15percent year over year growth. In the right-hand sidebar, I can find potential job openings in my industry. I can also discover related companies and begin to follow those companies from this page. In the middle column, you will find likeminded professionals with whom you can connect as well as networking groups that you can join. 5. PYMK: In May 2010, LinkedIn took the “People You May Know� feature and merged it with another powerful feature called faceted search. Estimates show that of jobs secured, up to 70percent state that they secured their job via a networking contact. Faceted search makes it simple to filter list of peoples you may know by companies and schools. To use this faceted search feature, click on the “See More� link on the PYMK box. You can add connections on this page and send those people an invitation to connect with you. If you haven’t visited your LinkedIn Web site, you will be amazed at all of the robust and multi-faceted features that now exist. With exclusive job postings and opportunities to network with people at companies where you’d like to work, LinkedIn offers a person in a job search great possibilities. N

Back to Italy’s Roots Il Mulino serves its Sunday Supper to start the week off just like they did in the old country By Frank Gabriel

style dining space alongside a more formal, classic European salon, Il Mulino New York’s local outpost at the Trump Taj Mahal offers some of the region’s most varied, distinctive Italian fare. Regional specialties from around the country are well represented, with a special emphasis on the hearty, rustic cuisine of south-central Italy’s Abruzzo. Which only makes sense. Brothers Fernando and Gino Masci — founders of the initial Il Mulino in New York’s Greenwich Village 30 years ago — were born and raised in L’Aquila, Abruzzo’s mountainous capital. After spending their teenage years apprenticing in the best restaurants around Rome, the brothers continued on to positions throughout Europe and Canada, eventually settling in New York during the 1970s. Regardless, their Atlantic City bill of fare nicely represents that country of origin, in its entirety. Administered by executive chef Michael Mazza, customers choose from diverse plates like multi-meat rigatoni Bolognese, saffron-essenced risotto Milanese and lemony scampi alla Romana, demonstrating a level of commitment to embracing all of Italy’s vast culinary history. Other highlights include osso bucco (veal shank roasted in red wine and

concept is “to resurrect the tradition, and ensure a style of dining that encompasses an appeal of nostalgia sure to bring you back to your roots.� The promotion, which began March 6, is also an unbelievable value. A four-course, pre-fixe experience for only $43? That sounds more like a Restaurant Week deal. It’s also a budget-conscious opportunity to submerge yourself in the white-glove opulent luxury of Il Mulino’s main dining room. Tuxedo-clad staffers, wall tapestries, hardwood floors, and crystal chandeliers create an atmosphere of abundance and privilege.

porcini mushroom sauce with that golden risotto) speggatino di pollo alla Romana (chicken sauteed in white wine, artichokes, mushrooms and asparagus) and filetto di manza alla Fiorentina (a 12-ounce filet with shallots, sage and wine.) In the mood for something lighter? Check out the trattoria side, with stuff like brick-oven pizza, antipasti, olive and meat plates, house-made pastas plus favorites from the regular menu. These days, the big news here is their Sunday Supper. An homage to the family meals enjoyed by most ItalianAmericans for decades, Il Mulino’s

Here’s a rundown of the most important element, food options for Sunday Supper: First course — choice of Caprese salad, calamari fritti, vongole (clams) oreganato, gnocchi Sorrento, mussels, eggplant ricotta, rigatoni Bolognese, grilled polenta with sausage or tortellini alla panna (meat tortellini in a creamy sauce with black truffle and sweet peas). Second Course — choice of Lentil soup, arugula salad with shaved Parmigiano or a tableside preparation of Caesar salad. Third course — choice of Pollo alla Scarpariello (chicken with garlic, white wine and mushrooms) linguine vongole, ravioli porcini, pollo fra diavolo (chicken with Italian sausage, broccoli, zucchini and garlic in a spicy tomato sauce) grilled salmon, bistecca alla pizzaiola (sliced steak with red and green peppers, mushrooms and oregano in marinara sauce) pollo parmigiano, veal milano arugula (lightly breaded veal topped with tomato, arugula and red onion) veal piccata, saltimbocca or pappardelle with sausage. Dessert — Tiramisu, ricotta-Amaretto cheesecake, chocolate flourless torte, or zabaglione with fresh berries served family-style. Ownership and management like to say “In a world that’s fast and complicated, simple is good, especially on Sunday.� And who are we to argue with that? N

Keyshia Cole

From her work with MC Hammer as a child, to her gold records and her latest out-of-the-box R&B album, ‘Calling All Hearts,’ Keyshia Cole has proven to be a distinctive voice in modern music.

When: Saturday, April 30, 9pm Where: House of Blues at Showboat, A.C. How Much: $39.50 and $49.50

By Ed Condran

I

A P R I L 2 8 , 2 0 1 1 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

T WAS INEVITABLE THAT KEYSHIA Cole entered the world of pop/R&B. While growing up on the hardscrabble streets of Oakland, Calif., as a foster child, it was evident that Cole had the skills. A young Cole even impressed MC Hammer back at the height of his powers during the early 1990s. The pop sensation, who had just dropped the MC from his moniker at that point, recorded with Cole in 1993 when she was just 12 years old. It was obvious that Cole had the pipes, the looks and the desire to become a star. However, she wasn’t destined to become an overnight sensation. It took another 12 years for Cole to hit nationally. Her 2005 debut, The Way It Is, opened up some ears. Cole proved that she was the real deal with a solid bunch of cowrites and her sweet voice. Cole has built on that album with each successive release. Perhaps her best attribute has been the ability to write in a vulnerable manner, which she has done since she hit the scene. Cole is more out there than ever with her latest album, Calling All Hearts, which dropped in December 2010. Don’t look for upbeat, fluffy pop songs. This album is full of heavy, powerful love songs, which you rarely hear today. It’s perhaps her deepest, most fully realized album, loaded with midtempo, moody material and an outpouring of emotion. Maybe motherhood has something to do with Cole’s metamorphosis. “It has been dramatically beautiful,” Cole told Singers Room about the birth and her relationship with her baby son. “I’m so blessed to have him. I always said that God comes on time. So now I have to give my child everything that I wanted my mom to give me that I didn’t receive. And his father is going to be here. God put so many things in your life for a reason, so take heed and be thankful. So many things came that were bad but so many good things came. [The bad things] made me appreciate the good things.” Cole had suffered through quite a bit and her fans saw a bit of that courtesy of her reality-documentary series Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, which aired from 2006 to 2008 on BET. The show focused on her successful career, but also on the

difficult relationship she has had with her biological mother and sister. Cole has certainly experienced the ups and downs of life. Her lows could have broken the back of a weaker person. However, her highs are certainly on the other side of the spectrum. Cole has

enjoyed great fan and industry support. Some of the biggest names in the business, John Legend, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, among many others, have worked with her or championed Cole. And then there are the great raw numbers, which have turned Cole into a star. Now those are some high heels!

that I wanted my ng hi yt er ev ild ch y m ve ‘Now I have to gi s father is going hi d An e. iv ce re ’t dn di I mom to give me that life for a reason, ur yo in gs in th y an m to be here. God put so kful.’ so take heed and be than

Just Like You, which was released in 2007 and 2008’s A Different Me each went platinum. Cole, who will perform Saturday, April 30, at the House of Blues at Showboat, is building on her base with the compelling Calling All Hearts. It’s a commercial challenge, especially since sales of albums keep dipping. But the subject matter on the album is provocative. “It was written from not being so optimistic about love,” Cole said. “And really giving up on it and then the perspective of being in love.” These days, Cole is optimistic about love. “There are a lot of guys out there that want to do right by their woman and represent their woman the way they should be represented. The same goes for the woman to the man because I know I’m going to hold mine down for life. “You‘ll never see me cheating on him or doing anything I’m not supposed to do, not carrying myself or acting unladylike.” Cole has always spoke and sung with conviction. It’s difficult not to believe her because she tends to follow through. She talks about helping and follows suit. Cole’s rough start in life reminds her that not everyone has it so easy in life and so she is driven to give back. “I am so altruistic,” Cole said. “I want to take the baby [clothes] to a homeless shelter and give away all that old stuff in the house. Everything we don’t wear. The blankets we don’t use. I want to start a tradition where Junior gets to see that. ... [W]e’re not in the hood anymore, but we came from that. [My husband] comes from that, I come from that.” Cole doesn’t just give away clothing. She reaches into her pocketbook to make a difference. “Before I did Philly last year, New York and Oakland, I gave $10,000 to each market and I think the label matched every $10,000 I gave. I said, the more successful I get the more cities that will be added on. So hopefully that tradition continues.” The way Cole’s career is going, expect her to be more generous since she appears to be ready to take it to another level. n

sional event and then be participants in the amateur event Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,” says Hoey. “We don’t want this to be just a tournament for visitors. We want locals to be able to participate too.” “Parties, gambling, shopping, the boardwalk — it can’t get better than Atlantic City, and it’s only going to keep getting bigger and better,” says Tuscano. “We anticipate this event drawing in participants from all across the United States, and to help showcase Atlantic City for what it is — not just a gaming market but a truly world-class tourist destination with some of the best golf on the East Coast.” Langford is optimistic that the Open will, like the rodeo, go far in helping Atlantic City regain status as one of the country’s premier domestic tourism destinations. “The Atlantic City Strategic Planning Committee I think, in some respects, gave birth to the notion that we needed to collectively come together, pool our resources, exchange ideas and come up with creative ways to market Atlantic City and bring more business to our area,” Langford says. “I know that, when all is said and done, this is going to be a great event that helps put us back on the map, and reestablish us as a great place to live, work and visit. We’re number six now [by Forbes], but after the first World Amateur Open has concluded, we’ll be moving our way up to number one.” One of the guest speakers at the Open media event was Grace Hanlon, the executive director of tourism and travel for the State of New Jersey. “We think this is terrific, we support you, and we thank you for helping to present southern New Jersey as the valuable place that it is — with the greatest boardwalks and attractions, terrific beaches, great restaurants, gambling and shopping, all within about a 10-minute drive of some of the best golf courses in the country,” says Hanlon. “It’s a perfect storm for a fabulous event.” Visit acgolfopen.com for more, or call toll free 1-877-465-3695.

entry fees are similar ($450 per person in Atlantic City; $500 in Myrtle Beach), and while the hope is that A.C. sees similar success, a realistic inaugural draw would be about 500 golfers according to GACGA executive director Brian Hoey. Each player is guaranteed a minimum of three rounds of golf on three different courses. “I honestly expect that in three years you’ll have over 5,000 players at this event,” says Jim Fraser, co-founder of the GACGA and owner of Mays Landing Golf and Country Club, at an April 14 media event. “I really expect that, with the way the casinos are getting behind this, Atlantic City’s getting behind this, all these wonderful people, this event is destined to grow into something really big.” A player lines up a putt at Mays Landing Golf Club The event unfolded when Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo he initial event spearheaded Langford created the A.C.

thor and historian Jim Waltzer will have his latest book published by Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc. One of two new books out by Waltzer this year — the other being his second published novel, Brother’s Keeper, which is due by the summer and is described by the author as a “personal tale of race and revenge,” taking place in 1929 Atlantic City and including crime lords, a severed human arm caught by a fisherman and a missing local rackets boss — Battle of the Century: Dempsey, Carpentier, And the Birth of Modern Promotion, recounts the early stages of modern, big-time sports promotion. Waltzer, who has written and worked on three previous books, is excited about the upcoming releases. For Battle of the Century, he started researching in 2009 and spent the spring and summer of 2010 writing the book. Waltzer plans to make local appearances touting the new book once it’s published. He tells Atlantic City Weekly that he was drawn to the topic of the book because, “The Jersey City site/stadium intrigued me, as a p r i l 2 8 , 2 0 1 1 / A C W e e k ly. c o m

did the realization that a fight largely lost in contemporary popular consciousness set the table for modern, big-time sports promotion.” Legendary pugilist Jack Dempsey spent time training for this 1921 heavyweight title bout against Georges Carpentier in Atlantic City and the following excerpt, published by permission from the publisher, is from the book’s 17th chapter (“Sketches From Training Camp”), describing the scene.

earns went to New York City to recruit boxers of all stripes to come to the Atlantic City camp and spar with the champion. On May 12, the Doctor returned to the seashore. So Dempsey had set up camp at on the windswept airport grounds just off the road leading inland from Atlantic City, and the public flocked to his daily sessions, eager to see the Dempsey scowl, the Dempsey warrior haircut (the sides shorn, a dark thicket on top), and, above all, the Dempsey punch. The salt air failed to divert Kearns from the scent of money. He moved quickly to charge for admission, then hiked fees as attendance at his fighter’s workouts increased; eventually, daily crowds reached 1,000, and Kearns collected a dollar a head. His fighter more than gave them their money’s worth, battering and bloodying sparring partners of varying size, speed, and disposition. It made little difference who was put in front of Dempsey; they were all targets to him. Among other strategies, he practiced backing quicker, smaller men like Carpentier into the ropes, where he could whale at them with impunity. He went about his business with the controlled fury and nasty edge of a man who had been given life’s short end so often that no amount of money or fame could salve his anger. Fighters were schooled to be unemotional, for emotion was the enemy of discipline, but some could draw from a wellspring of hurt and channel their feelings into something fearsomely efficient in application, a professional’s flamewrought tool. Dempsey was the exemplar of managed rage. And his punch was as hard as a mule’s kick. When asked about the secret punch that Carpentier supposedly was developing, Kearns grabbed Dempsey’s right fist and said, “This ain’t no secret at all.” While the Belgian police dog at Carpentier’s camp in Manhasset stood guard and discouraged intruders, Dempsey’s seashore digs employed three frisky members of the breed to run and wrestle with the champ, who also added boardwalk strolls to the training regimen. He trained in the seashore sun, working up an appetite and a tan. He insisted to newsmen that he would not bet on the fight. (Of course, all understood that he was referring to any bets on himself, but nonetheless this illustration

of the sport’s laxity of governance is rather astonishing when viewed through a modern sensibility. Two years earlier, the Black Sox scandal in the World Series had ruined baseball, as players on Chicago’s American League team had taken bettors’ payoff s to throw games.) Privately, Dempsey sniffed at word that Carpentier was planning to switch tactics and mount a body attack in their fight. Pounding the body was Dempsey’s stock-in-trade. He dined on ribs, jolted the heart, in order to take the heart of his opponent. A report that he would target the Frenchman’s jaw 12 contradicted his M.O.—Dempsey found the jaw, all right (just ask Willard, Fulton, Brennan, etc., etc.), but only after sufficiently pulverizing the body; sometimes a single punch was sufficient. A fight between a headhunting

Jack Dempsey and a bodypunching Georges Carpentier would have been a curious affair indeed. Of course, stratagems intended to mislead the opposition were part of boxing’s paraphernalia, but in the heat of ring action, instinct took over. To help handle publicity chores and give his fighter a more sympathetic reading, Kearns reached out to the West Coast for the San Francisco Call-Post ’s Warren Brown, one of the first sportswriters to put the young Dempsey’s exploits in the newspapers. Two gents with homophonous surnames showed up in camp: Jimmy Dougherty, who had refereed Dempsey’s fight with Billy Miske in

Benton Harbor; and Harding’s attorney general (and presidential campaign manager), Harry Micajah Daugherty, who saw nothing wrong with Dempsey’s profusions and, while in Atlantic City, also took time to view the questionable validity of professional wrestling at the Garden Pier, uptown over the ocean. There was talk in Dempsey’s camp of black light-heavyweight Kid Norfolk, who had recently lost a “colored” heavyweight title fight, as a future Dempsey opponent, and Kearns insisted that only the purse would determine the right match for his fighter—“The color line is to be eliminated under special financial circumstances,” said Doc. (Why he wasn’t considering the winner of that “colored” title fight, Lee Anderson, is not known.) While Kearns pontificated about race and boxing, two Chicago University students (athletes, fortunately) arrived in camp after walking all the way from their alma mater, so they claimed. No word on whether they had any tips on stamina for the champion. Dempsey was grim and unrelenting in his sparring and gym sessions, but other settings revealed a man less at odds with the world. He ran on the beach in Atlantic City, flanked by training pals, the majestic hotels along the boardwalk providing the backdrop. In Dutch boy cap, dark cardigan, white sweatpants and boots, he ran in the summer heat on the soft sand and treated photographers to hearty smiles. He was more than man enough to add gardening to his training regimen. After weeding the vegetable patch alongside his airfield cottage, he wielded a hoe to coax corn and beans from the seashore loam. Of course, he may have been adept at tilling this small plot of earth, but his marketable skill—unequaled on the planet—was to separate men from their senses. Late May brought rain, keeping Dempsey indoors for rounds of cribbage with trainer-secretary Hayes. Nights, they hopped into the “machine” (aka a red Buick) and drove onto the mainland. The rain subsided and the champion resumed outdoor workouts. ... n Read the rest of this excerpt from the upcoming book Battle of the Century: Dempsey, Carpentier, And the Birth of Modern Promotion by Jim Waltzer, published by Greenwood Publishing Group, online at ACWeekly.com.

HE TRADITION OF RUNNING away to the circus was the basis for one great circus movie, Cecil B DeMille’s The Greatest Show On Earth, which earned the Oscar for best motion picture in 1953. With Water For Elephants, director Francis Lawrence and screenwriter Richard LaGravenese (adapting the book by Sara Gruen) have tried to revive this genre and make it relevant via the appeal of two of Hollywood’s top young actors, Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon and Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, but the film has a huge hole where the emotionally satisfying romance should be. Witherspoon and Pattinson have no discernable romantic spark. Instead another clichÊ comes into play — actors Water For Elephants Directed by Francis Rated PG-13

should never work with animals because the latter always steal the show. Rosie the elephant does just that, and the looks Pattinson gives the adorable pachyderm seem more genuine and love-filled than those glances toward Witherspoon that are supposed to convey longing. The film begins in modern times with an old man (Hal Holbrook) who is distressed when he arrives too late to see the circus that has come to town. Angry and upset, he is invited into the office of the circus manager and begins to tell a story of how he came to work for the Benzini Brothers Circus, destined for tragedy during the Great Depression. Flashing back to 1931, we meet Jacob Jankowski (Pattinson). After a family tragedy that finds the Cornell veterinary student alone and without funds, he hops a train. That train is a circus train and he finds a job with the circus, a job that improves when he explains his veterinary skills to the ruthless boss, August (Oscar winner Christoph Waltz). August treats his animals and the members of his troupe the same, with

an utter lack of compassion. Anyone who runs away to join this circus would soon regret it. August’s wife, Marlena (Witherspoon), the circus’ star attraction, usually stays on his good side, but when August gets riled up, she can feel the brunt of his mean streak as well. Jacob falls hard for both Marlena and the circus’ new star picked up at a fire sale, Rosie the elephant. Rosie is in Jacob’s care and he soon finds he has a special bond with her. The bond with Marlena is also supposed to be heating up, but it never does because Witherspoon is miscast. In the 1950s Marlena would have been cast with Ava Gardner or Marilyn Monroe, someone who oozes sexuality. There are actresses today who fit the bill — Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron come to mind — but Witherspoon oozes perkiness. Here she is asked to suppress that perky/spunky vibe but without it, she has nothing going for her. The story is still pretty compelling, although one wonders why a closeknit circus family would put up with a vicious bully like August for so long before fighting back. Pattinson gives a solid performance beyond the bad romance, and Waltz, although typecast as a complex villain, will probably keep getting these roles because he is good at it. But my highest praise goes to Tai, who plays Rosie. She really does steal the show.

Wild ‘Cats’

Disneynature has been releasing nature films on Earth Day for the past several years. Last year it was Oceans and this year it is African Cats, a beautiful family film that reveals the story of two families, a lion pride and a cheetah mom trying to raise and protect her incredibly adorable cubs. The G-rated film narrated by Samuel L. Jackson makes sure the death part of a life and death nature tale happens off screen, but it doesn’t sugarcoat the nature of survival in the wild. The cinematography is spectacular, which is, of course, the point of making nature films, to show us the incredible beauty of animals in their natural habitat. Make sure you stick around for the amusing closing credits for more info on the supporting “actors� like the crocodiles and the ostriches. N

vides a solid finish to the story but the film would have been so much better if the romance had done its job and provided an emotional anchor. Instead it is the elephant that provides that special spark and helps keep Water For Elephants afloat when the romance is doing an awkward belly flop.
