Wildwood planks get high honor

NEW JERSEY. The boardwalk

in Wildwood received a prestigious ranking from National Geographic Traveler’s website, which listed the shore town’s planks among 2011’s “Top 10 U.S. Boardwalks.”

The boardwalk was recognized for being “one of the kitschiest boardwalks in the country” and a “two-mile stretch of neon” packed with all of the necessary shore attractions like funnel cakes and boardwalk fare, arcades, water parks and amusement piers with more rides than Disneyland, according to tourism officials.

This view from the luxury Residence at the Ritz condominiums will become a lot greener by 2014.

Plans to turn Dilworth Plaza into a greener, more pedestrian-friendly public space moved forward yesterday as the city’s zoning board approved the designs, clearing the way for construction.

The $50 million project will create one level on the west side of City Hall and add grass, a sprinkler fountain that will be converted to an ice rink in the winter, an outdoor cafe and large glass entrances with elevators leading into the SEPTA system. Construction is expected to begin in the fall and be completed by spring of 2014.

Designed in the 1960s and named after former mayor Richardson Dilworth, the plaza has been

For nearly three hours yesterday, Danieal Kelly’s father portrayed himself as a caring parent who was prevented from helping his daughter avoid death while under the watch of his exwife and unresponsive social service agencies.

The prosecution in Daniel Kelly’s child-endangerment trial responded by alleging he just walked away, leaving Danieal in her mother’s care, after a family argument in West Philadelphia.

Americans are deeply pessimistic about the future as economic concerns rise and White House talks on raising the U.S. debt limit sputter, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released yesterday.

The number of Americans who believe the country is on the wrong track rose to 63 percent this month, up from 60 percent in June, with high unemployment and prolonged gridlock in Washington dashing hopes of a swift economic recovery.

Missing NYC boy found dead in trash Brooklyn man killed 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky in a ‘panic,’ cops say Child’s feet found in refrigerator parents agreed to let him walk home alone from summer camp. They agreed to meet halfway.

But Kletzky apparently got lost, police said, stopping to ask Aron for directions. The boy was caught on police videotape entering the man’s gold sedan.

The Hasidic community organized patrols, searching desperately for the boy and papering the neighborhood with “missing” signs.

That was when Aron “panicked,” New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said. “And that is why he killed the boy.”

Kelly said the “horrendous” incident could not be fully explained: There are no signs the boy was molested and a motive for the abduction is unclear. When police entered Aron’s apartment, they found Kletzky’s remains, including severed feet, in the refrigerator.

Who is Levi Aron?

He had no prior record, other than one summons for public urination.

He is an Orthodox Jew. He suffered brain injuries as a child in a car crash, according to reports, and has been described by those who know him as “slow.”

Christina Perri Yes, the ‘Jar of Hearts’ guy knows it’s about him This Philly girl would love to be on the ‘Shore’ Sure, Christina Perri’s debut album “Lovestrong” landed in the top five of the Billboard charts the week it debuted, but perhaps even more noteworthy for the 24-year-old musician was the fact her double-platinum first single, “Jar Of Hearts,” was performed by Lea Michele on the “Prom Queen” episode of “Glee.”

(Is there a bigger stamp of having made it for musicians in our new pop culture landscape? Probably not.) So now that she’s overtaking the airwaves and TV sets, we had the tattooed sensation give us a little bit of background information.

Best piece of advice you’ve ever been given:

You’re enough, just the way you are.

Favorite dish to cook for yourself when you’re not in a rush:

“The Jersey Shore”!

What celebrity did you have a crush on as a teen?

Axl Rose and Johnny Depp What’s the last song you listened to on repeat?

A fruit salad. I use 13 different fruits, a melon baller, and I let it marinate in its amazing fruit juice deliciousness. Yum! What is the most repetitive question you get asked on interviews?

“Flightless Bird, American Mouth” by Iron + Wine.

You are trapped on a desert island with a TV, a DVD player and the complete series discs of one television program.

What is the program?

“Full House.”

Best/worst date?

“Does the guy you wrote ‘Jar of Hearts’ about know it’s about him?” The answer is yes! And he thinks it’s cool.

What reality show do you secretly want to be cast on?

Best date: Dinner and live music. Worst date: No dinner and a night club.

Thailandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;9 Inchâ&#x20AC;? Root Holds Secret to Extended Male Performance!

Oregon man credited with bringing â&#x20AC;&#x153;oddly-shaped rootâ&#x20AC;? to U.S. market; improves blood flow, prostate function and ignites stamina! â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the last four years I have had a significant amount of trouble with frequency of urination. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a significant improvement.â&#x20AC;? Jude, OR.

Ever wonder why some men seem to be serving up a satisfying sex life while you are left hungry for more? When stress levels increase, certain nutrients become imbalanced, causing a premature decline in libido, testosterone levels and reduced circulation; all negatively affecting his ability to maintain physical performance levels. Not only do intimate encounters become less frequent, they become less pleasurable too! â&#x20AC;&#x153; I was retired and finally had the time to enjoy myself but my body was holding me back. I truly believe that sex should be as satisfying today as it was when you first started having it.

Sex is a part of being healthy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only natural to want to have more it of and for it to be satisfying!â&#x20AC;? says Tallman.

Rod is part of a group of â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyday guysâ&#x20AC;? who used their retirement funds to invest in the research of a rare combination of herbs from the far East.

Today they are receiving national acclaim for the all natural formula called 112 DegreesTM, specifically designed to target the maturing manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall energy, interest and physical performance by improving and optimizing total body circulation and prostate function.

Thailandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gift to Men 112 Degrees contains top-quality, all-natural ingredients such as Tribulus Terrestris, L-Tyrosine, Pueraria, and Acai, formulated to improve male sexual health and performance, as well as support overall health and vitality.

However, one ingredient in the formula canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but stand-up in the group.

Butea Superba - One branch has 3 leaves and the flowers are of a yellowish orange color. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long roots are similar to the roots of a yam and matures to about 8 to 9 inches. When the root is cut, it leaks red sap. Scientist have studied both the sap and the root fibers to isolate the male potency powers of this beautiful plant.According to a 2003 article in the Asian Journal Andrology the preparations of Butea are for male erectile dysfunction. It is affectionately referred to as herbal Viagra.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband started taking 112 Degrees because he was experiencing performance irregularities. After taking 112 Degrees, he has no problems."

Christy, AZ\ Proof of Performance Health professionals have noted that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;oddly-shaped rootâ&#x20AC;? may produce benefits such as a significant increase in the weight of the testes, higher sperm counts and a greater release of male sex hormones, which explains the plant's reputation for increasing menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexuality. This translates into an overall better experience.

Breakthrough Combination 112 Degrees users have also noted changes that include increased morning arousals, more intense release, improved urination, including ease of going and urine flow, and even getting up less during the night to urinate.

Users can expect to experience improved blood flow, better prostate function and a dramatic increase in stamina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early morning erections have returned. Sustained erections during intercourse. I am satisfied so far.â&#x20AC;? John, NY.

Sudeikis’ devilish charm

While promoting his new film, ‘Horrible Bosses,’ the ‘Saturday Night Live’ actor is quick with the quips And he’s a stick-figure artist, too At a press conference for last weekend’s box-office hit “Horrible Bosses,” it was obvious that of the three leading men — Charlie Day, Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis — who hatch a plan to off each others’ bosses, it’s Sudeikis who has a history of improv.

Cracking wise about one reporter’s comment that Jason Bateman has never given a bad performance (“We gotta get you a Netflix account then”) and Jennifer Aniston’s ubiquity (“That’s how I know you! You were on ‘Friends’!”) the “Saturday Night Live” cast member is always quick with a

Jason Sudeikis on the set of “Horrible Bosses.”

Getting graphic Sudeikis’ character falls into the trap of Charlie Day’s man-eating boss (Aniston).

When asked to describe how the off-camera scene with her might’ve looked, Sudeikis is very helpful.

“Here’s how it went down,” he says, grabbing a pen and a piece of paper. “These are stick figures. It’s going to be very crude. Assuming that all our sex organs are in the same position as other people’s, you’ve probably seen what it was before and I probably just held on for dear life.”

comeback — even if “Bosses” itself wasn’t improvised at all.

“Improvisation for me is like the camera’s rolling and we don’t know where we’re going and let’s just waste people’s time and money,” Sudeikis says.

“That’s not what happens.

All three writers laid out a tremendous framework and we sort of, at the beginning of the day, Charlie, Jason and I — and [director Seth Gordon] — would talk about the scene and we’d develop a different rhythm.”

When it comes to summer holidays, Bastille Day really takes the cake. Head over to Fairmount this Saturday for the annual storming of Eastern State Penitentiary, complete with a Krimpet pelting from Marie Antoinette (aka London Grill co-owner Terry McNally).

The festivities kick off tonight (Bastille Day proper) with a “French Fling” bar crawl and extend through Sunday, when London Grill hosts a champagne brunch with a make-your-own Bloody “Marie” bar. METRO/MW

Drink your heart out: Valanni's new “skinny” menu cuts down on the calories.

If you’re out for the night and stuck counting calories, you usually only have a couple options: A watery light beer, Diet Coke and clear rum or a vodka soda. (Wait — Pellegrino and lime?

Who invited you?)

Which is why we’re super psyched for Valanni’s (1229 Spruce St.) new “skinny” cocktail menu. Ringing in at under 170 calories — and usually considerably less — there’s a little something for every lush who has a pencil skirt to squeeze into on Monday morning.

For a smart and sweet sip, try the “Fresh and Frisky” (vodka, blackberries, lime and basil at 156 calories) or the “What a Teas” (Sweet Tea vodka and lemongrass-infused lemonade for 166).

Even the dreaded margarita manages to slim down here: The “Hot For Herra” packs a modest 139 calories, which is less than the garnish on the Bloody Marys you were throwing back on Sunday.

Evil taxes, evil communists RE: “DEBT DEBATE, THE SECOND DAY”: Yeah, down

with the “nanny do-gooder” for nothing state. For a start, let’s first do away with the departments of disinformation: EPA, DEP, FEMA, FDA, TSA, DOE, DOJ, FBI, CIA, IRS, NASA, FDIC. Then down with Medicare and Social Security and finally down with all the minimum wage and burdensome child labor laws. After that, we can bring back the sweat shops from the third world so that we won’t have any competition. SUZY SANDOR, VIA E-MAIL

President Obama’s stubborn and infantile refusal to raise the mythical and meaningless debt limit without conditions shows his true colors — and it isn’t black, it’s red!

His aim will plunge our country into a national financial chaos. If his politics remain intact, he is similar to a terrorist, void of physical weaponry but just as capable of inflicting injury to all. In the end, Obama — blowing off his usual oratorical hot air and threats — knows that he must elevate the debt ceiling or face detrimental consequences, including his own failed presidency.

cy, we must not consider increasing taxes as one means of putting our fiscal house in order is nothing more than a political soap box the Republicans have perched themselves on.

The United States is one of the least-taxed advanced economies on the planet.

CRAIG SHOEMAKE, VIA E-MAIL

Horoscope Cancer June 21-July 22. Hold off on making any important agreements with another. Although people mean well, it isn’t likely they would stand the test of time.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. People in general tend to want to shift their burdens onto someone else, so if anybody thinks you’re an easy mark, this person will try to dump his or her work in your lap. Don’t be had.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Depending too heavily on Lady Luck instead of your own abilities will guarantee you to fail at whatever it is you’re trying to pull off. Avoid getting involved in anything chancy.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. Don’t be unduly awed by titles or trappings. Just because someone has a title doesn’t necessary make him or her bigger than life. It only defines the job the person is assigned to do.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. For the sake of peace, don’t let yourself be drawn into a debate with someone who loves to argue. You won’t be able to turn him or her off.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. It’s wise to abide by your instincts about participating in any kind of financial debate with someone who always thinks he or she is right.

The delusional thinking behind such “nanny dogooder” commie ideas is very old indeed. In “The Wisdom of the Bones” paleoanthropologists demonstrate how, hundreds of thousands of years ago, a member of the species Homo erectus was kept alive for weeks, despite a crippling disease, by the nurturance of a bleeding-heart conspecific. It is certainly time that we stopped acting like cavepeople and marched boldly into the Brave New World!

ROBERT B. PIERCE, VIA E-MAIL

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Underestimating the competition is always a mistake. Thus, regardless of how inept you think someone is, take him or her seriously.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. Think twice before absentmindedly being unrealistically generous to someone who doesn’t deserve it. There’s a good chance that on impulse you’ll give away something you’ll regret.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. If you have a choice, avoid any gathering where someone who makes you feel uncomfortable is likely to be in attendance. You won’t have any fun.

Aries March 21-April 19. It would be best not to depend on another to do something for you that you know the person really doesn’t want to do.

She or he will either do a bad job or totally let you down.

Taurus April 20-May 20. Don’t try to impose your views on someone who you know will be unreceptive to what you have to say. All you’ll accomplish is making this person stand even firmer.

Gemini May 21-June 20. The handling of your resources isn’t likely to be your strong suit today, so it behooves you to be as prudent as you can. Additionally, it would be wise not to offer any financial advice.

Americans move on to World Cup final First championship game for US since 1999 3-1 win over France was in doubt early in second half But Wambach the hero once more Squad gets Japan in Sunday showdown GETTY IMAGES

For the first time in 12 years, the U.S. women’s national soccer team is headed back to the World Cup final.

And just like last time, they’ll be facing an Asian squad for the title.

The Americans overcame a frantic French attack yesterday, winning their semifinal, 3-1.

Hours later, Japan punched its own ticket to the final with a 3-1 comeback win over Sweden.

The U.S. took its only two matchups with Japan at the Women’s World Cup, in 1991 and 1995.

In 1999, the last time the Americans played in the tournament final, they famously topped China in penalty kicks.

A return trip to the championship game seemed unlikely early in the second half yesterday, when France wiped out the Americans’ 1-0 lead and threatened to go ahead themselves.

Tale of the tape World Cup final: United States vs. Japan

POST YOUR COMMENTS: WWW.METRO.US/SOCCER

vs.

But after being badly dominated in the midfield for a half-hour, the Americans showed better conditioning late.

Abby Wambach — the hero of Sunday’s quarterfinal against Brazil — headed in the eventual game-winner in the 79th minute.

Alex Morgan sealed things with a pretty floater three minutes later.

“We haven’t done anything the easy way, and we’ve had some serious ups and downs,” said forward Lauren Cheney, who assisted on Wambach’s goahead goal. “I think we just continue to follow our own path.

“You always want it to be 5-0 and you always want to have a great game and prove to everybody how great you are, but that’s not for us.” METRO

How they got here The U.S. went 2-1-0 in Group C, then beat Brazil and France in the knockout rounds. Japan went 2-1-0 in Group B, then beat Germany and Sweden in the knockout rounds.

Head to head The Americans and Japanese have played twice this year, with the U.S. winning by identical 2-0 scores. The U.S. handed Japan its largest defeat of all time on April 29, 1999, winning 9-0.

Quoted “We’ve achieved part of our goal,” Abby Wambach said.

“We’re in the final. We want to complete it.”

MICHAEL VICK: BEST EVER? Fantasy sports

ADAM LEVITAN ALEVITAN@METRO.US

Michael Vick will never be compared with Joe Montana or Peyton Manning in real football. But he can be in the conversation with Marshall Faulk and LaDainian Tomlinson when we’re talking fantasy.

In 2006, Tomlinson set the standard for fantasy seasons by scoring 31 touchdowns and piling up 2,323 total yards. Thanks to Vick’s unique talents, he can top that.

No Moreno?

Coach John Fox said that running back will be the Broncos’ No. 1 priority in free agency. It’s surprising — yet obvious — that the team isn’t sold on Knowshon Moreno as a workhorse back. Downgrade Moreno across the board.

Projecting numbers Vick started 12 games last season. If we project those stats over 16 games, he would have thrown for 4,024 yards, ran for 901 and racked

up 40 total touchdowns. That obliterates Tomlinson’s 2006 campaign.

Add these guys cheaply:

A step ahead Before last season, Vick hadn’t started a game since 2006. It’s very possible that he can get even more explosive and improve even more on his passing touch in 2011.

The injury question The reckless running style that makes Vick so good in fantasy is also his biggest drawback. But injury prone? Vick missed just two games over his final three seasons with the Falcons and the lack of a flak jacket caused last year’s injury. In the middle of the first round, Vick’s upside is worth the risk.

Is the NFL close to a deal?

A day after the owners declared a July 21 date for ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement, players fired back yesterday with a joint statement.

In it, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees said “it is time” to end the lockout.

Johnny Mac calls for removal of umpires GETTY IMAGES

“Kill the Umpire!”

Some two decades since his legendary career began to wind down, John McEnroe still believes that would be the best thing for tennis.

“In five years we won’t need umpires,” said McEnroe yesterday, before he and Martina Hingis took the court for the WTT New York SportTimes versus Billie Jean King’s Philadelphia Freedom at Villanova. “I would find it more interesting if players called their own lines. It would be different, because most of the time they’d be right. I think the players might even remember the score.”

Outspoken as always, the 52-year-old McEnroe still

Borg in a match on Randall’s Island in New York.

McEnroe believes that if the current challenge system had been around when he was screaming at chair umpires, it would’ve helped his career.

“I’d have had a lot more energy to play,” said McEnroe, who opened a tennis academy last year. “I’d have been able to use that energy to focus on what I should’ve been doing in the first place — hitting the ball properly.

Some people would say I would’ve won less majors. I think I would’ve won more, but been more boring.”

Vyke enters the VoIP market ANDERSEN ROSS

New affordable calling system reduces how much you spend to talk with far-flung friends Use your cell phone, landline or computer

career education

Use either your cell phone or a laptop to make VoIP calls at a more aďŹ&#x20AC;ordable rate.

A new player has entered the increasingly competitive Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) market, promising some of the cheapest and best-quality calls available, accessible through either a cell phone or a PC. Vyke.com says its calls come without sound distortion common to other VoIP providers.

On a cell phone, the service is accessed by downloading an app that runs in the background and which opens automatically when a user makes a call.

Vyke bytes With Vyke, calls can be made from a cell phone, landline or PC. Vyke offers interception on calls for Symbian (Nokia) and RIM (BlackBerry) handsets.

All calls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; domestic and international â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can be routed through a Vyke account.

Vyke will offer the same service in iPhone and Android within six weeks.

Tore Hellebo, CEO of Vyke, told Metro: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crowded VoIP market out there, but we firmly believe VykeMobile has a strong and differentiated positioning. We anticipate significant growth over the next six months as we establish ourselves among the key VoIP players by year end.â&#x20AC;?
