Fire ravages boardwalk at Seaside Park and Seaside Heights

Fire ravages boardwalk at Seaside Park and Seaside Heights
 





SEASIDE PARK, N.J. - A fire that apparently began in an ice cream shop in Seaside Park on Thursday afternoon and swiftly consumed several blocks of the boardwalk that connects the Shore town and neighboring Seaside Heights, as well as buildings along the walkway, was finally brought to heel about 8 in the evening. Officials said at least 20 businesses along the boardwalk were destroyed or heavily damaged in the wind-whipped blaze, including familiar institutions such as Maruca's Pizza; the Carousel Arcade; the clubs Jack & Bill's, Beachcomber, and Sawmill; as well as a Kohr's frozen custard joint - where the fire apparently began. Hundreds of firefighters were involved and officials said two of them had to be treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. "I can't believe after all we went through . . . it's heartbreaking, devastating," said Seaside Park Police Chief Francis Larkin, referring to the devastation left in the area a year ago by Hurricane Sandy. "I think I'm gonna wake up and it'll be a bad dream." Larkin said firefighters would continue dumping water on a 19-block stretch for 24 to 36 more hours. In a 10 p.m. briefing, Ocean County Fire Coordinator Brian Gabriel called the four boardwalk blocks that burned "a war zone." He said that the fire was 70 percent contained, with no threat of it spreading, but that firefighters continued to douse hot spots. Gabriel said 300 to 400 firefighters from every department in Ocean County as well as departments from Atlantic, Cape May, Mercer, and Monmouth Counties were deployed. The speed with which the flames engulfed the boardwalk, fanned by 30 m.p.h. winds, presented a major challenge. Firefighters dug two trenches ahead of the fire to try and stop it. The second one, at Lincoln Avenue, eventually held the flames. Several buildings collapsed and a condominium sustained minor roof damage, resulting in evacuations, he said. Seaside Park Mayor Robert Matthies called the catastrophe "the worst boardwalk fire I've ever seen in all my years." In a news briefing in Seaside Park before the conflagration was brought under control, Gov. Christie noted the strenuous efforts made to rebuild the area from Sandy's blows a year ago and said when he heard of the fire, he exclaimed to his staff, "I feel like I want to throw up." He vowed to linger on the scene and said he might help provide updates. In a statement, Christie's Democratic opponent in the gubernatorial race, State Sen. Barbara Buono, called the fire "an unconscionable tragedy" and said she "was overwhelmed with a profound sense of sadness." Seaside Park's boardwalk wasn't as badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy as Seaside Heights', though the storm did extensively damage Seaside Park's Funtown Pier. On Thursday, the amusement pier again bore the brunt, this time of fire. The spot where the fire apparently started - Kohr's Frozen Custard - also was gone. Lee Maniscalco, 43, who walked what remained of the boardwalk with his wife, Andrea, late Thursday, noted that he was a friend of the Kohr's owner, who he said was himself a volunteer firefighter. "I feel for him. . . . After all the blood, sweat, and tears that people put into rebuilding, we were all holding our breath for another hurricane. No one expected this," he said, staring at the smoke pouring from the charred Funtown Pier. By late afternoon the fire had spread from Seaside Park north into Seaside Heights and jumped across Ocean Avenue, which runs parallel to the boardwalk, scorching buildings there. For a time, officials closed the Seaside bridge leading in and out of the resort, allowing only emergency vehicles and fire trucks to enter. Dozens of fire companies from throughout Ocean and Monmouth Counties responded. When she heard dozens of fire trucks whizzing past her home in the Pelican Island section of Berkeley Township, Susan Polcino said she crossed the bridge into Seaside Heights and witnessed crews trying to pull up sections of the boardwalk - some recently replaced - to stem the fire, but to no avail. "The fire was coming so fast, they didn't get many of them up," Polcino said of the boards. The scene was heartbreaking for the woman who has lived in the region most of her life. "I'm sick to my stomach seeing this," said Polcino, 52. Polcino said the wind along the coast was "fierce" and continued to fan the massive blaze. "A friend of mine who lives here in Pelican Island who hasn't been able to move back into her house since the storm because of the damage was renting in Seaside. She just called to tell me she is being evacuated again because of the fire," Polcino said. "It's so sad." The Red Cross said it had 12 volunteers on hand to assist emergency responders, but had not been asked as of late in the day to help find emergency housing for any evacuees. "We know that emotions are running high with this situation, and we will be there to assist with refreshment and emotional support and anything else we can offer residents and first responders," said Laura Steinmetz, a spokeswoman for the American Red Cross South Jersey Chapter .

'Insidious: Chapter 2' keeps things old-school

'Insidious: Chapter 2' keeps things old-school


Malevolent demons never have been known as early adopters of new technology. When you're busy possessing young souls, who has time to drop by the latest Apple product unveil?

(Million-dollar idea: The iOuija — a tablet computer that allows users to communicate with the dead. You're welcome, Tim Cook.)

The throwback horror genre travels beyond the limits of time and space in "Insidious: Chapter 2," where one evil spirit haunts a family using two tin cans connected with a string. A video cassette recorder and rocking chair horses also fit prominently into the plot. Rarely has a film set in the present day used so many products from the old Sears catalog.

"Saw" co-creator James Wan continues his mission to distance himself from the torture porn genre, by making scary movies that rely on practical effects, smart direction and an unapologetic first-date-friendly PG-13 sensibility. "Insidious 2" has a few memorable frights, a willing cast and a professional crew behind the camera. But even as it succeeds in the moment, it's hard to get around the fact that the sequel is entirely unnecessary. We'd rather see Wan and his co-conspirators put out something new.

Something like "The Conjuring," the Wan-directed 2013 release that was the biggest unexpected pleasure of the summer movie season. That film, set in the 1970s, was even more retro; capturing the feel of a movie from "The Exorcist" era without seeming like an outright theft.

"Insidious 2" is just more of "Insidious," minus the element of surprise. We're reintroduced to the Lambert family, whose father and eldest son have the ability to "astral project" — entering a limbo-like zone filled with dry ice and angry demons. This time, we also learn about Josh Lambert's past, discovering his childhood possession, captured on video that was surprisingly high-def for 1986.

The cans-on-a-string haunting are part of the fresh hell for eldest son Dalton, and didn't he take enough abuse in the last film?

Fans of the first "Insidious" will walk into the theater knowing 1) Which family member is possessed; and 2) The nature of the supernatural forces. Screenwriter Leigh Whannell tries to compensate by simultaneously adding back story and new drama. But it feels a little like sandwiching a cupcake with two waffles sprinkled with powdered sugar. (Million-dollar idea: The Belgian Waffle Cake. You're welcome, Jack in the Box.)

If "Insidious 2" exists solely because "Insidious 1" made a ton of money, then at least credit Wan for making quality control a priority. A lesser filmmaker would have farmed out the project to a protégé with limited talent, and raked in a boatload of executive producer cash for doing minimal work. Wan once again stays engaged, and helps his cause with some excellent hires.

Much like "The Conjuring," the camera work becomes more urgent and threatening as the horror builds, as if one of demons is handling the cinematography. Joseph Bishara's piano-heavy score is appropriately menacing, and ties into the plot in a subtle but meaningful way.

Production design is vital for a good horror film, and Jennifer Spence does some exemplary work. Even if there wasn't a single ghostly presence in this film, the green and black paisley wallpaper would have brought chills to the steeliest moviegoer.

The extra effort extends to some of the actors, particularly Patrick Wilson, who is convincing as the possessed dad. Barbara Hershey is the resourceful Grandma Lambert. And the people playing evil spirits actually have to act, since Wan shuns computer effect demons in favor of real people with too much lipstick and not enough melatonin. Linda Blair would be proud.

None of the above should make us look forward to "Insidious: Chapter 3." (Which will have to come after Wan directs "Fast & Furious 7," and, presumably, "The Conjuring 2.")

But if we must live with unnecessary sequels, it's always better when a pro is in charge.

J.K. Rowling to pen new Harry Potter-inspired film for Warner Bros.

J.K. Rowling to pen new Harry Potter-inspired film for Warner Bros.

 



J.K. Rowling is bringing her world of wizardry back to the big screen -- but without Harry Potter.
Warner Bros. announced Thursday that Rowling will write the screenplay for a movie based on "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," her textbook about the magical universe she created in the Potter stories.
The story will focus on the book's fictitious author, Newt Scamander, and is anticipated to be the first in a series.
"Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world," Rowling said. "The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, 70 years before Harry's gets underway."
She added, "I always said that I would only revisit the wizarding world if I had an idea that I was really excited about and this is it."
Warner Bros. was behind the eight Harry Potter movies released between 2001 and 2011.
Since finishing penning the Potter books, Rowling has published two other novels -- "The Casual Vacancy" in 2012 and "The Cuckoo's Calling" (under the name Robert Galbraith) earlier this year.

Facebook's Zuckerberg offers IPO advice toTwitter

Facebook's Zuckerberg offers IPO advice toTwitter





Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday was asked to give his advice to Twitter about its rumored IPO plans.
"I'm kind of like the person you would want to ask least about how to make a smooth IPO," he said. "As long as they (Twitter) kind of focus on what they are doing, then i think it's wonderful."
Zuckerberg's comments came at the TechCrunch Disrupt technology conference here.
The social-networking giant's chief said it was it was an extremely "turbulent" first year as a public company. What worried him following the company's flop on the markets? "I was really worried that people would leave the company," he said.
After shares fell below its $38 offering price, the company saw a number of high-profile departures. His concerns ran that people would become demoralized with the stock price down. Instead employees "really focused on the mission," he said.
In the wake of its IPO, Facebook's membership has swelled to 1.15 million users and it has 699 million daily active users.
The Silicon Valley company went from seeing no revenue on mobile last year to more than 40% of its revenue now.
"We took a lot of s--- because we weren't making money on mobile," Zuckerberg said.
Wall Street has since taken a more positive outlook on Facebook. Likewise, investors have piled onto shares, driving it to a new record high. Shares of Facebook on Wednesday rose 3.3% to $45.04.
"Sometimes it might take the market a little while to catch up and see the results of what you are doing," he said.

N.J. teen gets 17 years in prison for killing girl

N.J. teen gets 17 years in prison for killing girl

 

WOODBURY, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey teenager called his actions "a big mistake" as he was sentenced Thursday to 17 years in state prison for fatally strangling a 12-year-old girl whom he had lured to his home with an offer to trade bicycle parts.
Justin Robinson, now 16, pleaded guilty last month to aggravated manslaughter in a deal with prosecutors who were facing some major challenges in the case, including a lack of physical evidence to determine whether he or his brother Dante Robinson killed Autumn Pasquale in October 2012.
Robinson, who looked mostly straight ahead during the two-hour sentencing hearing, must serve more than 14 years before he is eligible for parole.
"I'm sorry. I never meant for this to happen," he told Judge Walter Marshall. "This was all a big mistake."
Relatives of the girl did not see it that way, and some wanted the judge to issue a tougher sentence than the one agreed to in a plea agreement. If the judge had done so, though, the plea could have been invalidated.
"I believe the defendant deserves more than 17 years," said the girl's father, Anthony Pasquale, who as a mail carrier had delivered letters to Robinson's family in Clayton, where the families of the victim and her killer had deep roots. "I believe his fate should be nothing but death."
When he pleaded guilty, Justin Robinson said he acted alone. During a sentencing proceeding, neither he, his lawyers, nor prosecutors shed light on a motive for the killing, or even what happened beyond what was already known: Pasquale went to his house several blocks from hers after receiving a Facebook offer to trade bike parts on Oct. 20. When she didn't return home that night, her family, then the entire community, set off in a frantic search. Two days later, her body was found in a recycling bin behind the home next to Robinson's.
A break in the case for investigators came when the boy's mother, Anita Saunders, called police after seeing something troubling in a Facebook post from one of her sons. Speaking briefly during the sentencing, Saunders told the judge that media accounts of what happened were incorrect. "Nobody knows exactly what happened the day of the accident," she said.

Robinson's lawyer, Jean Faulkner, told the judge that the boy had post-traumatic stress disorder from being physically abused as a young boy and seeing his father strangle his mother more than once. "This is a learned behavior," Faulkner said.
Autumn's family described her for the judge as a loving tomboy who wore mismatched socks and loved to ride her BMX bike.
They talked about how her disappearance and death touched the town, located 25 miles southeast of Philadelphia. Her old soccer team, once known as the Clayton Comets, is now Autumn's Angels; her jersey number, 14, has been retired from the Clayton Middle School sports teams; a bike path and a park are now named for her.
And they told the judge how members of the family, including her siblings and young cousins, are in therapy and dealing with nightmares about her death.
"When I see the blue recycling bins out, I cry to think Autumn's innocent life was so easily discarded like a piece of trash," said the girl's maternal grandmother, Mary Pasquale, who had taught Justin Robinson in school.
Prosecutors agreed to allow Robinson to plea to aggravated manslaughter rather murder because of challenges with the case. Because of his age and a developmental disability, it was not a sure thing that he would be moved to adult court. If he had been convicted of murder in juvenile court, he could have had a chance of parole in less than seven years.
They also have said that there was no evidence besides his confession that made it clear that it was he and not his brother who killed the girl.
Dante Robinson, who was 17 when he was arrested last October, is still charged with murder in family court. Authorities have not said when they may drop those charges.

 

iPhone 5S

iPhone 5S – first impressions

 



Apple's new flagship smartphone has some fresh features but you might be pushed to tell the difference from the iPhone 5 at first glance

Apple has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the iPhone 5S. Sporting a fingerprint sensor and an improved camera, while being up to twice as fast as the previous generation, the iPhone 5S looks to be another stellar smartphone entry.

Price

The iPhone 5S starts at £549 ($649) for a model with 16GB of storage, with prices going up from there, through £629 ($749) for 32GB, and hitting a hefty £709 ($849) for 64GB of storage. Compared with last year's iPhone 5, the starting price is £20 higher, and makes it more expensive than competition from the likes of HTC, Samsung and Sony.
Prices on-contract, directly from mobile phone operators, will be slightly lower, of course, when taken out with relatively expensive monthly plans. Whichever way you look at it, the iPhone 5S is a pricey proposition.

Camera

For the iPhone 5S, Apple's improved the camera compared to previous iPhones by physically increasing the size of the image sensor. That means, at least on paper, significantly higher low-light performance, which should result in better pictures captured in the often-poor lighting conditions users find themselves in. Party photos from bars, pubs and dimly-lit homes should be clearer, sharper, and with better colours compared to pictures captured the iPhone 5 and 4S.

Features

The iPhone 5S marks Apple's first introduction of a fingerprint reader called "Touch ID". The sensor sits under the traditional home button, allowing users to ditch passwords and unlock their iPhones just by swiping their finger across the home button. It's a major leap forward in both phone security and usability because users will no longer have to remember PINs or passwords, as the Touch ID will also allow the user to purchase music, apps and videos through the phone.
Five fingerprints can be stored on the device to unlock the iPhone but only one can be associated with your iTunes account so your kids will be able to unlock your phone, but will be prevented from buying apps, videos and music, which could save you from some very expensive bills. Your fingerprint data is only stored on your phone and it isn't sent over the internet or stored on Apple's servers, which should help keep prying eyes away from it and your data secure.
While Apple has barely changed the design of the iPhone 5S compared with last year's iPhone 5 – maintaining its pin-sharp 4-inch retina screen and thin and light body – it is available in a new colour: gold. The traditional black (rebranded as "space grey") and white ("silver") colours are still available, however.
iOS 7, a complete redesign of Apple's mobile operating system, is also launching with the iPhone 5S. It looks to revitalise the rather unchanged iOS, and has taken the approach of "flat" yet colourful design. Improvements are available across the board for all of Apple's built-in apps such as Mail, iMessages, Calendar and Photos. It's worth noting that the iOS 7 update will also be available for existing iPhones, including the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5.

Speed

Apple has kitted out the iPhone 5S with its latest processor. The Apple A7 combines a new 64-bit architecture with improved processing capabilities, which should result in a doubling of the speed of the phone compared with the iPhone 5S.
Coupled to the new A7 processor is a new co-processor called the M7. Its job is to collect data from the various sensors the iPhone 5S has, including the GPS, processing the information without waking the main A7 chip. In doing so, it should allow various apps and services to continually pull data from the phone's hardware while still delivering an iPhone 5-level of battery life or a good day's worth of use.

Battery life

The iPhone 5S should be able to achieve, at least on paper, a longer useful battery life than the iPhone 5 and iPhones that came before it. Apple has stated that its new flagship will be capable of 10 hours talk time, 10 hours LTE browsing, and 250 hours standby. That's an improvement over the iPhone 5's times of eight hours of talk, eight hours of LTE browsing, and 225 hours of standby. Real-life battery usage will, of course, vary.

Conclusions

The iPhone 5S certainly looks good on paper. With its revolutionary inclusion of a fingerprint sensor in a mass-market phone, which could potentially remove the need for passwords and truly enhance the user experience, Apple could be on to a winner.
However, the rest of the phone is just as it was for the iPhone 5, and you would be pushed to tell the difference between them from a quick visual inspection. Of course, the internal parts have been upgraded, and the new camera system could make a real difference to your photos.
Smartphones aren't all about internal specifications, and are much more about experiences, which is something Apple is very good at delivering. Combined with the new iOS 7, the iPhone 5S should be very good indeed.
