This is a new position for Temple, coming into the Atlantic 10 Tournament as the No. 1 seed. In the two previous years Temple was an underdog to regular-season champion Xavier, yet managed to take home the crown and the coveted automatic bid into the NCAA national championship. Looking for the three-peat, Temple has been consistent all year, including a big non-conference win over Villanova and has been ranked in the AP Top 25 for most of the year (No. 17 in the most recent poll). Fran Dunphy’s team concept has worked very well without a major star in his line-up.

For the sixth year, 40 of our region’s most dynamic young leaders have been honored by the Greater Atlantic City Jaycees and Atlantic City Weekly. Some of them are entrepreneurial, some are community driven, others are just plain talented and inspiring. One thing they all have in common is that people from around the region nominated them to be one of this year’s Top 40 Under 40. Once again, we are excited to present this year’s honorees inside this annual issue. Our community is a richer one to live in thanks to them.

Poised to celebrate its second birthday, Atlantic City’s Restaurant Week — Sunday, Feb. 28 through Saturday, March 6 — has quickly matured into a precocious, hotly anticipated event. Managed through the auspices of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority (ACCVA), participants run a wide gamut of cuisines, styles and price points. They also provide the dining public opportunities to sample both lunch and dinner at many regional establishments. The last element of the equation are manageable prix fixe charges: $15.10 lunches and $33.10 dinners.

'We would drive up from high school [in 1997] on the weekend and maybe play for a couple hundred kids in South, Central or North Jersey and then drive right back home, maybe play a show in the South and then be back at home and go to school Monday morning,' drummer Cyrus Bolooki tells Atlantic City Weekly.
