With Hurricane Irene pushing relentlessly toward the East Coast, officials announced plans to evacuate low-lying areas in New York City and shut down the sprawling subway and transit system.

Sand was moved Friday to protect a lifeguard station in Long Beach on Long Island.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg ordered a mandatory evacuation — something he said the city had never done before — of coastal areas in Brooklyn; Queens, including all of the Rockaways; and Staten Island, along with Battery Park City and the financial district in Lower Manhattan and Governor’s Island. The evacuation covered 250,000 people in and around what the city calls Zone A low-lying areas who, the mayor said, should get out before the storm swept in.
“You only have to look at the weather maps to understand how big this storm is and how unique it is,” the mayor said at a news conference, “and it’s heading basically for us.”
Officials said the subway shutdown was prompted mainly by wind calculations that suggested the hurricane could endanger subway cars where they run above ground. The commuter rail lines that serve Long Island, Westchester County and Connecticut will also be shut down, as will commuter rail lines — but not buses — in New Jersey.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York said that a half dozen bridges — including the George Washington Bridge, the Robert F. Kennedy Triboro Bridge, the Throgs Neck Bridge and the Whitestone Bridge — would be closed if winds reached 60 miles an hour for more than a short time.
Officials decided to go ahead with the transit shutdown, which they had first mentioned on Thursday as a possibility at a City Hall briefing, as the city was evacuating hospitals and nursing homes in low-lying areas. State officials continued arrangements for coordinating emergency services and restoring electricity if the storm does the kind of damage many fear.
Some Atlantic City casinos made plans to stop rolling the dice and turn off the slot machines by 8 p.m. Friday. The naval submarine base in Groton, Conn., sent four submarines out to ride out the storm deep in the Atlantic Ocean. And Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said that all lanes of 28-mile stretch of a major highway in Ocean County would go in only one direction — westward — beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday to help speed the trip away from Long Beach Island.
Those preparations came as states of emergency remained in effect in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Homeowners scrambled to cover windows with plywood and boaters struggled to get their vessels away from docks. In New York, apartment dwellers with balconies and terraces hauled in patio furniture and potted plants, and stores ran short on staples like batteries, flashlights and bottled water. In shore towns on Long Island and in New Jersey, vacationers waited in lines at gasoline stations and watched as emergency crews piled sandbags on low-lying beach roads.
The hurricane watch for the city was a formal indication that forecasters saw a potential threat within 24 to 36 hours. The mayor said that the ground speed of the storm had accelerated during the day on Friday and that winds above 40 miles an hour had been measured.
“If you’re in its way,” he said, “it’s a lot more powerful than any of us.”
The mayor said that 91 evacuation centers and shelters would be open by 4 p.m. Friday for people who could not stay in their homes.
The mayor had said on Thursday that the city was ordering nursing homes and hospitals in those areas to evacuate residents and patients beginning at 8 a.m. Friday unless they received special permission from state and city health officials, among them the city’s health commissioner, Dr. Thomas A. Farley, who, the mayor noted, was chairman of the community health sciences department at Tulane University when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005. That evacuation order covered 22 hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities for older people.
The city ordered construction work halted until 7 a.m. Monday. With the worst of the storm expected on a weekend, a time when relatively few construction crews would normally be on the job, the Buildings Department said Friday that its inspectors were checking construction sites to see that equipment had been secured. The department said it would check over the weekend that builders complied with the no-work order.
The mayor said city beaches would be closed on Saturday and Sunday and would remain closed “until they can op safely.”
“Please, please, please, don’t go in the water,” the mayor said. “Tides will be much stronger than people can cope with.”

Audiences may not realize the biggest sci-fi franchise prior to “Star Wars” was “Planet of the Apes.”
The Oscar-winning 1968 film spawned four sequels and a TV series in a seven-year span.
So it’s no surprise that 20th Century Fox decided to resurrect such potentially lucrative material. What is surprising is how “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” emerges as such a well-executed and original spin on the premise. This is especially admirable considering that its predecessor, Tim Burton’s 2001 version of “Planet,” was one of the worst remakes in movie history.
“Rise” reveals the chain of events that led to simians exchanging places with humans in the evolutionary hierarchy. At the core is Will Rodman (James Franco), a scientist experimenting with gene therapy on chimpanzees. He hopes to develop a cure for Alzheimer’s, which has afflicted his father (John Lithgow).
When a violent incident threatens to shut the whole pharmaceutical-funded program down, Will removes a baby chimp that has been exposed to the neurogenetic-enhancing formula. He raises the primate, named Caesar, like one of the family … or like the family pet, depending on the viewpoint of those involved.
“I love chimpanzees, and I’m afraid of them,” says Will’s primatologist girlfriend (Freida Pinto). “It’s appropriate to be afraid of them.”
As the years progress, so does the level of Caesar’s intelligence. Eventually, his new awareness presents a problem to the city of San Francisco that no number of animal control officers can fix.
Director Rupert Wyatt (“The Escapist”) establishes a number of interesting parallels between his prequel and the first “Apes” film. The intro scene in which apes are pursued through the jungle by poachers is a mirror image of the one in which Charlton Heston and his fellow astronauts first encounter rifle-toting gorillas. From the outset it’s clear Wyatt is striving to craft a companion piece to filmmaker Franklin J. Schaffner’s visionary original.
Forty years of cinematic advancements permit Wyatt to curb the reliance on makeup effects and introduce motion-capture technology for actors to play the beasts. This process helps fabricate chimps whose eyes reflect their burgeoning intelligence. One can’t underestimate how freakishly realistic many of these scenes play.
While the digital performances are exceptional, some of the human counterparts don’t fare as well. Franco isn’t terrible, just tolerable. He never brings his “127 Hours” A-game to the proceedings. Much worse is Lithgow, who renders a hokey performance that borders on farce. (Look no further than the recent comedy “Friends With Benefits” to see how actor Richard Jenkins handles the Alzheimer’s burden with dignity and humor.)
Also quite dreadful is Tom Felton aka Draco Malfoy of the “Harry Potter” series. He portrays a low-level zookeeper whose sadism makes him a target of Caesar. At no point does Felton ever come across as a real person, instead merely operating as a force of evil convenient to the plot.
“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” gets downright creepy in its final act as Caesar gathers an army of chimps, gorillas and orangutans to march across the Golden Gate Bridge — one of the few parades that hasn’t been seen in San Fran.
It’s disturbing not just from the visual execution, which finds CGI used to reinforce rather than take over an action sequence. But it’s also unsettling from a viewer’s standpoint: The movie does a fine job of making one actively root for the apes to win.
THE RISE OF MOTION CAPTURE
In the original “Apes” movies, actors — most notably Roddy McDowall — wore hairy suits and makeup. Now the apes look more believable, but they’re completely computer-generated, created from performance-capture technology.
The star simian, Caesar, comes courtesy of Hollywood’s king of performance capture, Andy Serkis, who was the human foundation for Gollum of “The Lord of the Rings” and upcoming “Hobbit” films and for King Kong.
Serkis and other actors wore skintight suits covered with dots as reference points for digital cameras to capture their motions and body language. And, as actors did for James Cameron’s “Avatar,” they were fitted with camera rigs on their heads to record facial expressions, too.
Before now, motion- capture required bare soundstages, with computer animators filling in background and other details. The big evolution in the technology this time is that Serkis and his fellow ape players could perform on live-action sets, interacting with human characters, bringing more reality to the illusion.

BEIRUT—Gunmen in plainclothes are randomly shooting people in the streets of the besieged Syrian city of Hama and families are burying their loved ones in gardens at home for fear of being killed if they venture out to cemeteries, a resident said Thursday.
The continued violence in Hama came as the U.S. imposed additional sanctions against Syrian insiders and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev offered some of Moscow's harshest criticisms yet of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Military forces on Sunday launched an offensive against anti-government dissent in Hama and at least 100 people have been killed since, according to human rights groups. Phones, Internet and electricity have been cut or severely hampered for days. The resident said people are being forced to ration food and share bread to get by during the holy month of Ramadan, when many Muslims fast from dawn to dusk then celebrate with large, festive meals after sundown.
"People are being slaughtered like sheep while walking in the street," said the resident, who spoke by phone. "I saw with my own eyes one young boy on a motorcycle who was carrying vegetables being run over by a tank." He said he left Hama briefly through side roads to smuggle in food supplies.
Families have resorted to burying their loved ones in home gardens or roadside pits "because we fear that if we go to the cemetery, we will end up buried along with them," the resident said.
He said the army and pro-government gunmen known as shabiha have been shooting randomly at people and keeping food supplies from entering the city. He said he knew they are allied with the military because they sometimes walk behind soldiers and talk to them.
The violence prompted the U.N. Security Council to act after months of deadlock, issuing a statement Wednesday that condemned President Assad's forces for attacking civilians and committing human-rights violations. It called on Syrian authorities to immediately end all violence and launch an inclusive political process that will allow the Syrian people to fully exercise "fundamental freedoms ... including that of expression and peaceful assembly."
Russia, one of the countries that had initially blocked a council response to the unrest, issued a strong warning to Damascus on Thursday. President Dmitry Medvedev said he has told Syria's ruler that he will face a "sad fate" if he fails to introduce reforms in his country and open a peaceful dialogue with the opposition.
In remarks carried by Russian news agencies, Mr. Medvedev said he has directly delivered this message to Mr. Assad.
"Regrettably, large numbers of people are dying there. That causes us grave concern," Mr. Medvedev was quoted as saying.
"That's why both on a personal level and in the letters I sent to him, I have emphasized that it's necessary to urgently conduct reforms, negotiate with the opposition, restore civil peace and create a modern state.
"If he fails to do that, he will face a sad fate. And in the end we will also have to make some decisions. We are watching how the situation is developing. It's changing, and our approach is changing as well."
On Thursday, the U.S. imposed economic sanctions against a prominent Syrian businessman accused of supporting President Assad.
The Treasury Department said it had ordered a freeze on assets of Muhammad Hamsho and his company, Hamsho International Group.
Treasury Undersecretary David S. Cohen said Mr. Hamsho had become wealthy through his connections to Mr. Assad and his brother and other members of the regime. Mr. Cohen said during the current unrest Mr. Hamsho had supported officials responsible for the Syrian government's violence against citizens of the country.
The announcement came after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met Tuesday with Syrian opposition members in Washington, the first such meeting between antiregime figures and the top American diplomat. The State Department said after the meeting that the Obama administration would move forward with additional sanctions against Damascus.
In other parts of Syria, security forces killed at least seven protesters overnight when they went out to demonstrate after special nighttime prayers for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, activists said.
Mr. Assad has sought to deal with the extraordinary revolt against his family's 40-year-dynasty through deadly force, but has also acknowledged the need for reform.
On Thursday, he issued two legislative decrees that will allow the formation of political parties alongside the Baath Party and enable newly formed parties to run for parliament and local councils. Both draft bills were endorsed by Cabinet last month, and were key demands of the opposition movement. But opposition figures now dismiss the moves as maneuvering tactics and insist they want regime change.
