Most New Jersey boardwalks damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy will be rebuilt by Memorial Day weekend.
An Associated Press survey of shore communities that bore the brunt of Sandy found only three where portions of boardwalk are not expected to be open by the traditional start of the summer season.
Seaside Heights expects the main section of its boardwalk to be rebuilt by the holiday, with the rest complete by mid-June.
Sea Girt says a three-block stretch of its 3/4 mile boardwalk won't be finished by Memorial Day. But the town says that work should be done by June 1.
A mile-long stretch of old boardwalk on the southern end of Long Branch won't be rebuilt this year. But a newer boardwalk and paved promenade that had minimal damage are already open.
Shore officials are eager to assure a successful tourist season, even if it means making only temporary fixes now, as in Asbury Park. That city's commerce director, Tom Gilmour, said officials were adamant about having the entire boardwalk open the Saturday before Memorial Day weekend to show "we are back and ready."
Here is where boardwalk projects stand, based on interviews with officials in each town:
___
ASBURY PARK: A fourth of the one-mile boardwalk was damaged, but the city was able to salvage materials to make both permanent and temporary fixes, with the goal of opening the entire boardwalk May 18. Permanent fixes to parts of the boardwalk near Convention Hall will be made in the fall. Total costs are projected at close to $3 million. For financial and environmental reasons, a tropical rain forest wood called ipe (pronounced EE'-pay) will be replaced with yellow pine.
AVON: About 80 percent of the 6/10-of-a-mile boardwalk was destroyed. It is being rebuilt with ipe, despite protests by environmentalists, with a target completion date of May 15. Costs are estimated at about $2 million.
BELMAR: The borough has raised more than $500,000 in public donations through its "Buy a Board" campaign. But that is just a fraction of the estimated $10 million it cost to build a new 1.3-mile boardwalk. A ribbon-cutting is expected in mid-May. The new boardwalk is being built of Trex, a composite of wood and recycled plastic.
BRADLEY BEACH: A nearly mile-long paved walkway escaped severe damage but a 650-foot wooden boardwalk was destroyed. The boardwalk will be replaced by concrete; township officials are shooting to have it built by Memorial Day at a cost of more than $2 million.
LAVALLETTE: Three-fourths of the more than one-mile boardwalk was damaged in Sandy and the town is about halfway done with repairs. A "Buy a Board" program has netted more than $180,000 from 720 boards but all 10,600 are up for grabs. Total cost will run $1.3 million and expected completion is May 20.
LONG BRANCH: A mile-long stretch of an old boardwalk on the southern end that was destroyed will not be rebuilt this year; township officials are waiting to see how much federal aid they can get for the project. North of that, a one-mile section of newer boardwalk and a paved promenade are open. The borough has closed off one lane of Ocean Avenue to traffic, making it for pedestrians only, to compensate for the loss of boardwalk.
MANASQUAN: Work on Manasquan's mile-long blacktop beach walk is scheduled for completion by April 19. One-third of the blacktop was broken up and washed away. Total cost of repairs is estimated at just under $500,000.
POINT PLEASANT: About half its nearly one-mile boardwalk was damaged. Reconstruction on an 800-foot-stretch includes fixes to damage from both Tropical Storm Irene and Sandy. The total cost of repairs is estimated to be nearly $2 million. The borough is on schedule to complete repairs by May 23.
SEA GIRT: Reconstruction on the 3/4-mile boardwalk is under way in two phases with some completion expected in May. A three-block span of the northern end of the boardwalk should be open no later than June 1. The borough will use the same Trex material it had before. It was able to salvage the concrete bases of 20 of 133 benches that will be rebuilt and placed on the new boardwalk. Total cost of boardwalk reconstruction is estimated at about $1 million.
SEASIDE HEIGHTS: The entire mile-long boardwalk was destroyed by Sandy, including Casino Pier, resulting in the JetStar rollercoaster being dumped into the ocean. The borough is about one-third of the way through repairs. It is on track to have the main thoroughfare up and running by Memorial Day with completion set for June 15. The borough's $8 million in reconstruction expenses, which does not include cleanup and repairs to Casino Pier, meant a hike in daily adult beach fees from $5 to $6 for the first time in years.
SPRING LAKE: The two-mile boardwalk was destroyed; half has already been rebuilt. But a delay in deliveries of materials, including lumber, put some work on hold. Borough officials still intend to have the entire boardwalk done by Memorial Day. Total cost of reconstruction is estimated at $4 million.

Apr. 1, 2013 ? A team of astronomers led by the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has succeeded in observing the death throws of a giant star in unprecedented detail.
In February of 1987, astronomers observing the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy, noticed the sudden appearance of what looked like a new star. In fact they weren't watching the beginnings of a star but the end of one and the brightest supernova seen from Earth in the four centuries since the telescope was invented. By the next morning news of the discovery had spread across the globe and southern hemisphere stargazers began watching the aftermath of this enormous stellar explosion, known as a supernova.
In the two and a half decades since then, the remnant of Supernova 1987A has continued to be a focus for researchers around the world, providing a wealth of information about one of the Universe's most extreme events.
In research being published in The Astrophysical Journal, a team of astronomers in Australia and Hong Kong have succeeded in using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, CSIRO radio telescope in northern New South Wales, to make the highest resolution radio images of the expanding supernova remnant at millimetre wavelengths.
"Imaging distant astronomical objects like this at wavelengths less than 1 centimetre demands the most stable atmospheric conditions. For this telescope these are usually only possible during cooler winter conditions but even then, the humidity and low elevation of the site makes things very challenging," said lead author, Dr Giovanna Zanardo of ICRAR, a joint venture of Curtin University and The University of Western Australia in Perth.
Unlike optical telescopes, a radio telescope can operate in the daytime and can peer through gas and dust allowing astronomers to see the inner workings of objects like supernova remnants, radio galaxies and black holes.
"Supernova remnants are like natural particle accelerators, the radio emission we observe comes from electrons spiralling along the magnetic field lines and emitting photons every time they turn. The higher the resolution of the images the more we can learn about the structure of this object," said Professor Lister Staveley-Smith, Deputy Director of ICRAR and CAASTRO, the Centre for All-sky Astrophysics.
Scientists study the evolution of supernovae into supernova remnants to gain an insight into the dynamics of these massive explosions and the interaction of the blast wave with the surrounding medium.
"Not only have we been able to analyse the morphology of Supernova 1987A through our high resolution imaging, we have compared it to X-ray and optical data in order to model its likely history," said Professor Bryan Gaensler, Director of CAASTRO at the University of Sydney.
The team suspects a compact source or pulsar wind nebula to be sitting in the centre of the radio emission, implying that the supernova explosion did not make the star collapse into a black hole. They will now attempt to observe further into the core and see what's there.

There's nothing worse than seeing a handy new update hit your favorite app on the wrong OS. Luckily, time heals all wounds platform fragmentation. TuneIn's Android app has just been updated with TuneIn Live, a content discovery interface introduced on iOS back in February. What this really amounts to is an extra tab on the app's main screen, but what it offers is pretty neat: a customizable layout of eight tiles, each previewing live music representative of its respective category. Users can peek at what various stations are playing at a glance, casually flipping through their favorite genre's live offerings by swiping each tile individually. It's nothing we haven't already seen from the folks at TuneIn, but its nice to see the app updating consistently across platforms. Check out the adjacent Google Play link to snag the update for yourself.

As per usual, Google put out various, elaborate April Fools Day jokes, which only reminded everyone how much time and money the tech company has to spend on projects that aren't core products like, ahem, Google Reader.?For those too busy to follow along, The Next Web has a running list of the myriad pranks. And while some of the antics, like the pirate treasure map,?are harmless and cute, others hit too close to home.

Declutter, clean, paint, mow, plant, refinish, replace and renew; all words commonly found in blogs, magazine articles and books advising you how best to prepare your home for a quick sale at top dollar. You can do 99 percent of the right stuff to make your house look stellar, but if you let 1 percent of the wrong stuff slip through the cracks, it may be that one tiny thing that kills a potential offer. Worse yet, negative ?reviews? of your house can be exaggerated and widely spread through your neighborhood and the real estate community, possibly scaring away the perfect buyer.
What types of things might be on that 1 percent list? One of my employees searching for a small fixer-upper second home in Arizona came across many unthinkable situations in average homes. Smells were a big one ? from dogs, cats and dirt ? but the worst house had a combination of all three along with an eye-stinging smell of urine. They held their noses and couldn?t get outside quickly enough. It was a large house in a good neighborhood, and probably fixable at the right price, but they couldn?t stay in the house long enough to evaluate it, even after making a repeat visit.
No, please don?t. Just because your teenager likes to sleep until early afternoon, please don?t invite potential buyers into your house until you have done a complete sweep for animals and kids hiding under the covers. It just so happened that my employee and her real estate agent were unpleasantly surprised more than once by occupants stirring from their sleep in a back bedroom.
Another big no-no. Drapes drawn, unlit lamps and light switches in the ?off? position can give the impression that a stakeout is in progress. There is good reason on a hot summer afternoon to have shades drawn and lights low to keep things cool, but if you are trying to sell your house, you need to keep things turned on and opened up in order to highlight the best features of each room. Incandescent lamp lighting is most flattering to the human complexion, so if you truly want buyers to say they can ?see? themselves living there, then help them to see themselves at their best in ?their? home.
Picture via cotedetexas.blogspot.com 
Before any buyer even thinks of stepping into your listed house, he or she has seen many pictures of it before asking to see the real thing. Don?t reduce your odds of a showing by displaying unflattering pictures of your fantastic home. You don?t need to hire a professional photographer or buy a fancy new camera just to market your home. Do take clear, well-lit and composed (aka staged or styled) pictures of the best parts of the house.
Leave kids, animals, paper piles, open cupboards, and your bathroom toiletries out of the pictures.?Your house can be beautifully staged, but if the pictures on the real estate websites don?t get your ?customer? in the door, then your staging dollars and efforts will not even get one chance to pay off. Tell your buyers with pictures what you can?t tell them with words.
Can spoil the whole bunch. Remove the bad apples and polish up the good ones. Homebuyers are savvier than you may think. Even though you have never met them, you are preparing your home to become theirs, and you only get one shot at it. Don?t spoil their first or last impression.
Warmly,
Laura Leist, CPO

"G.I. Joe," a sequel starring Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis, secured $41.2 million in domestic ticket sales from Friday through Sunday, according to studio estimates.
Last week's winner, animated prehistoric adventure "The Croods," slipped to second place with $26.5 million in North America (the United States and Canada). "Tyler Perry's Temptation" landed in the No. 3 slot with $22.3 million.
"G.I. Joe" opened Wednesday evening to get a jump on the Easter holiday weekend. The cumulative box office after Sunday is estimated at $51.7 million. In international markets, the movie racked up $80.3 million, for a global haul of $132 million.
"The result is as spectacular as the look of the movie," said Don Harris, president of domestic theatrical distribution at Paramount Pictures.
"We couldn't be happier with the result in terms of both the domestic and international box office and the response from movie goers."
Inspired by a Hasbro toy, "G.I. Joe" tells the story of elite soldiers fighting the enemy organization called Cobra as well as threats from within the federal government. The sequel to 2009's "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" was slated to open last summer, but the release was delayed to convert the film to 3D.
Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures, MGM and Skydance Productions produced the sequel for about $130 million. Ahead of the weekend, forecasters predicted a domestic tally around $38 million for "G.I. Joe."
Domestic ticket sales for "The Croods," a Dreamworks Animation comedy about a family of cave dwellers, dropped 39 percent from its debut a week ago.
"Temptation," a departure from Perry's hit comedies, focuses on a married woman drawn to a handsome billionaire. The movie stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Lance Gross and Vanessa Williams. Reality TV star Kim Kardashian plays a small role and helped promote the film through TV appearances and social media.
Another new release, sci-fi romantic thriller "The Host," finished in sixth place with $11 million. The movie is based on a novel by Stephenie Meyer, author of the "Twilight" vampire series that became a blockbuster movie franchise.
"Host" features a love triangle centered around a young woman whose body is taken over by an alien with good intentions. The two live in the same body, first as enemies before they become friends who team up to save the human race. Irish actress Saoirse Ronan plays the lead character.
Distributor Open Road Films acquired domestic rights for "The Host" for $2 million.
In fourth place, thriller "Olympus Has Fallen" earned $14 million during its second weekend. The movie stars Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman in the tale of a White House under attack. Disney's "Oz the Great and Powerful" came in fifth with $11.6 million.
"G.I. Joe" was released by Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc. "The Croods" was produced by Dreamworks Animation and released by News Corp unit 20th Century Fox. "The Host" was distributed by Open Road Films, a joint venture between theater owners Regal Entertainment Group and AMC Entertainment Inc. Lions Gate Entertainment released "Temptation." "Olympus Has Fallen" was distributed by privately held FilmDistrict.
