The ATF’s national team of experts, including electrical engineers, chemists, and other specialists, was sent to Camden this week at the request of local officials. The ATF has not turned its attention to the other fires, Horace said.
“I am not sure that we are going to have the same amount of information from the first two fires that was obtained by this national response team from the ATF in this third fire,” Faulk said. “So I don’t know what sort of comparisons can be made.”
But comparisons will be made if possible, he said.

COURTHOUSE – A former Archbishop Carroll High School athletic director has pleaded not guilty to charges he allegedly had improper contact with a teenage boy who was an ex-student.
Francis Murphy, 39, of the 1000 block of East Lancaster Avenue, Radnor, waived his arraignment in Montgomery County Court and pleaded not guilty to charges of promoting prostitution, unlawful contact with a minor and corruption of a minor in connection with alleged incidents that occurred in April.
By waiving his arraignment, Murphy did not have to appear before a judge on Wednesday for a formal reading of the charges lodged against him. Murphy, who remains free on $250,000 bail pending his next court hearing, will be scheduled for trial on the charges.
Before taking the job at Archbishop Carroll in 1999, Murphy coached football and baseball at Kennedy Kenrick Catholic High School between 1996 and 1998.

A New Jersey gay rights organization, seven same-sex couples and several of their children plan to file a suit in state Superior Court today demanding the partnerships be recognized as marriages, not as civil unions. The suit comes days after New York legalized gay marriage, which takes effect next month. In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie has said he vows to veto legislation legalizing same-sex marriage. The gay rights group, though, said it will not allow that to happen.
NJ.com users are discussing the merits of the suit and if there should be gay marriage in New Jersey.
I think people need to be more concerned with drugs, prostitution and child molesters than gay marriage and civil unions. Really you are putting way too much into the fight against gay marriage than you are anything else. If you feel so strong about something you fight for what you believe it right. Use your positive energy and fight back against the drug dealers and child molesters to keep this state straight. Don’t worry about gay marriage. Who cares, everyone has a fight to be happy!

On June 6th, Dan Rottenberg, editor of the online arts magazine Broad Street Review, published an editorial in which he suggests, as the Women’s Media Center put it on Change.org, “Lara Logan is to blame for her gang rape because she once showed cleavage at a US award show.”  If you think that sentence is bad, wait ’til you see the actual wording used in Rottenberg’s editorial:
He writes, “having stumbled across a CBS publicity photo for Lara Logan (above), I can’t help thinking that women also need to take sensible precautions before they’re victimized.”  Wait, it gets worse:
Don’t trust your male friends. Don’t go to a man’s home at night unless you’re prepared to have sex with him. Don’t disrobe in front of a male masseur. If you take a job as a masseuse, don’t be shocked if your male customers think you’re a prostitute. And if you want to be taken seriously as a journalist, don’t pose for pictures that emphasize your cleavage.

… Gil understood that Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Daily News were in each other’s heart and soul,” said former columnist Don Haskin, “and he did his level best to keep the love affair blazing brightly.”
“Gil hired me in October 1975 and I don’t think my life has ever been the same since that time,” said former Daily News features editor Barbara Beck. “For one, he made the newsroom the most fun I have ever had at any job. Ever.”
“One time, he wanted a cream-cheese-and-olive sandwich for lunch,” said his longtime secretary, Denise Gallo. “Can you imagine the face I got in the cafeteria when I asked for that? But they did make it for him.”
TV writer Ellen Gray recalled the time a freelance writer sent a stripper to a Daily News Christmas party at the Zoo.

The apartment complex called Chatham Square was so decrepit and plagued with crime “it would have made sense to cut it off the map and throw it away,” Gloucester City attorney John B. Kearney recalls.Instead, the city bought the eyesore, and a Philadelphia developer is transforming it into a “townhome community” called Meadowbrook Mews.With an open floor plan, granite countertops, and other amenities, the first of what will be 50 townhouses for sale looks great. The timing of the project is another matter.
“We picked a miserable time to go into the real estate business,” Kearney says.
“You have to work with the times you’re in,” adds Jonathan Orens, whose Orens Bros. Real Estate Inc., best known for condo projects in Center City, is “reconstructing” the half-century-old complex.
If location is everything, Meadowbrook Mews has it all – or maybe too much. The Walt Whitman Bridge and the 42 freeway are close; so is an uninspiring stretch of Route 130, complete with strip club.

WASHINGTON – The estate of the late stripper and Playmate of the Year Anna Nicole Smith lost big Thursday, as a split Supreme Court rejected the estate’s claims for millions of dollars.
…
“This suit has, in course of time, become so complicated, that . . . no two . . . lawyers can talk about it for five minutes, without coming to a total disagreement as to all the premises,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote for the majority in Stern v. Marshall. “A long procession of judges has come in and gone out during that time, and still the suit drags its weary length before the court.”Roberts was quoting the 19th-century Charles Dickens novel Bleak House, a literary touch in what was otherwise a highly technical ruling significant primarily in the world of bankruptcy law.The ruling means the Smith estate and Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, 4, are cut out from Marshall’s $1.6 billion estate.More broadly, Justice Stephen G. Breyer warned in dissent, the decision stripping some decision-making authority from bankruptcy judges could …

Crist, who teaches at Utica College in New York and has been a consultant for the Philadelphia medical examiner’s office, said he greatly respects Bender’s work and is fascinated by “his insights into the detailed characteristics that make each person’s face unique.”
When Bender measures a forehead and the distance from, say, eye socket to nostril hole, he starts to see a face. From statistics and experience, he surmises how thick the tissue must have been, the shape of the nose, the fullness of the lips.
But there is more to it, as this case demonstrates.
Perhaps, a visitor suggested, the woman was a drug addict or prostitute who had dropped out of conventional society. The fact that she has been unidentified all these years pointed to such a background. Right?
