The shark was apparently plucked from the ocean by a bird, then dropped on San Juan Hills Golf Club, the director of club operations said Thursday. The shark was later released into the ocean, where it swam off. (AP)

Republican presidential challenger

Mitt Romney edged back into active

campaigning Tuesday while Pres-

ident Barack Obama stayed close

to the White House — rival candi-

dates calibrating their responses to

Superstorm Sandy and the misery

it inflicted on millions.

With one week left in a close

race, both men appealed for dona-

tions — for relief agencies rather

than their own campaign treasuries.

“This is a tough time for millions

of people … But America is tough-

er,” the president said during a brief

visit to the American Red Cross in

Washington. He said he wanted “no

bureaucracy, no red tape” to inter-

fere with recovery and suggested

the military might be able to help in

view of the enormity of the damage.

In Ohio, Romney, too, spoke of

concern for storm victims. “A lot

of people hurting this morning,”

he told several hundred support-

ers who were collecting supplies for

victims of the storm. “We’re looking

for all the help we can get.”

Romney later flew to Florida,

where he is slated to appear at

Candidates Put Focus on StormObama and Romney appeal for donations — for relief agencies

Washington

three campaign rallies Wednesday.

The White House announced

Tuesday that Obama will not go

ahead with a Wednesday campaign

swing through Ohio and later said

he would tour damage in New Jer-

sey. He plans to remain in Wash-

ington to monitor recovery efforts.

The chances that the super-

storm will push the Nov. 6 election

to a later date are slim. Congress

could act within the next week to

change the date, but that would be

tough because lawmakers are on

recess. What’s more, Congress only

selects the date for federal races,

so changing the date would wreak

havoc for state and local elections.

The storm that was Sandy isn’t

done just yet. After lashing coastal

cities and inundating parts of New

York City with 13 feet of water, the

core of the hybrid storm is begin-

ning a long slog across Pennsyl-

vania and upstate New York, with

its effects spreading as far west as

Wisconsin and Illinois.

What’s left of Sandy was fore-

cast to spend most of Tuesday head-

ing across Pennsylvania and then

take a sharp turn Wednesday into

western New York, weakening as it

moves, said Daniel Brown, a hur-

ricane specialist at the National

Hurricane Center.

The storm system has merged

with a wintry cold front and is likely

to produce heavy rain in the East for

the next two or three days — adding

up to more flooding, Brown said.

In parts of the mid-Atlantic

Harrisburg, Pa.

region, particularly higher eleva-

tions, several more inches of snow

was predicted Tuesday in addition

to what fell the night before.

On the western shore of Lake

Michigan, residents of the Vil-

lage of Pleasant Prairie, Wis., were

urged to evacuate in anticipation

of waves as high as 18 feet. In Chi-

cago, residents were told to be pre-

pared for 50 mph winds and waves

as high as 25 feet. MARK SCOLFORO

Air raids by regime forces collapsed

expanses of buildings Tuesday in

a rebel-held city that straddles a

key supply route from the capi-

tal Damascus to Aleppo, Syria’s

largest city and a main front in

the civil war.

While residents dug the bod-

ies from the rubble, forces loyal to

President Bashar Assad clashed

with rebels south of the city tar-

geted by the airstrikes, Maaret al-

Numan. Rebels captured the stra-

tegic city this month and have been

disrupting the flow of military sup-

plies to Assad’s forces fighting for

control of Aleppo.

Assad’s regime has been ham-

mering away at Maaret al-Numan

with heavy airstrikes since it was

captured on Oct. 10. The battle for

the city in many ways reflects the

els are holding the ground while the

regime, with its superior weapon-

ry and numbers, has been unable

to dislodge them.

Activists speculated that the

government’s heavy reliance on

air power reflected its inability to

roll back rebel gains.

In Tuesday’s air raids on Maaret

al-Numan, the Observatory said

four people, three of them young

girls, were killed. There were also

reports of new violence around the

capital of Damascus. BEN HUBBARD (AP)

LEGISLATION

Hard to SwallowFrance is planning heavy taxes on

beer, and that is not going down well

with brewers. President Francois

Hollande is pushing through legisla-

tion to raise taxes on beer by 160 per-

cent to help fund social programs.

The Brewers of Europe group called

it a “kick in the teeth” Tuesday, espe-

cially as brewers have seen beer pro-

duction plummet in the EU since the

economic crisis began in 2008. (AP)

Backstory Tuesday’s airstrikes came on what was to be the final day of a four-day internationally sanctioned truce that never took hold, as well as a day after what activists called the heaviest and most widespread bombing campaign in Syria since the uprising began. The death toll for what was supposed to be a four-day cease-fire ending Monday exceeded 500, activists said. (AP)

Superstorm Sandy

Storm of a LifetimeSandy kills at least 40 in U.S., leaves more than 8 million without power in 17 statesPittsburgh

The most devastating storm in decades

to hit the country’s most densely popu-

lated region upended man and nature

as it rolled back the clock on 21st-cen-

tury lives, cutting off modern commu-

nication and leaving millions with-

out power Tuesday as thousands who

fled their water-menaced homes won-

dered when — if — life would return

to normal.

A weakening Sandy, the hurricane-

turned-fearsome-superstorm, killed

at least 40 people, many hit by fall-

ing trees, and it still wasn’t finished.

It inched inland across Pennsylva-

nia, ready to bank toward western

New York to dump more of its water

and likely cause more havoc Tuesday

night. Behind it: a dazed, inundated

New York City, a waterlogged Atlan-

tic Coast and a moonscape of disarray

and debris — from unmoored shore-

town boardwalks to submerged mass-

transit systems to delicate presiden-

tial politics.

“Nature,” said New York City Mayor

Michael Bloomberg, “is an awful lot

more powerful than we are.”

More than 8.2 million households

were without power in 17 states as far

west as Michigan. Nearly 2 million of

those were in New York, where large

swaths of lower Manhattan lost elec-

tricity and entire streets ended up under

water — as did all the subway tunnels

between Manhattan and Brooklyn at

one point, the Metropolitan Transpor-

tation Authority said.

The scope of the storm’s damage

wasn’t known yet. Though early predic-

tions of river flooding in Sandy’s inland

path were petering out, colder temper-

atures made snow the main product

of Sandy’s slow march from the sea.

Parts of the West Virginia moun-

tains were blanketed with 2 feet of snow

by Tuesday afternoon, and drifts 4 feet

deep were reported at Great Smoky

Mountains National Park on the Ten-

nessee-North Carolina border.

It became, pretty much everyone

agreed Tuesday, the weather event of a

lifetime — and one shared vigorously on

social media by people in Sandy’s path

who took eye-popping photographs as

the storm blew through, then shared

them with the world by the blue light

of their smartphones.

Images from around the storm-

affected areas depicted scenes rem-

iniscent of big-budget disaster mov-

ies. In Atlantic City, N.J., a gaping

hole remained where once a stretch

of boardwalk sat by the sea. In heav-

ily flooded Hoboken, N.J., across the

Superstorm SandyHudson River from Manhattan, doz-

ens of yellow cabs sat parked in rows,

submerged in murky water to their

windshields. At the ground zero con-

struction site in lower Manhattan, sea

water rushed into a gaping hole under

harsh floodlights.

“The level of devastation at the Jer-

sey Shore is unthinkable,” New Jer-

sey Gov. Chris Christie, R, said Tues-

day. “It is beyond anything I thought

I’d ever see.”

By Tuesday afternoon, there were

still only hints of the economic impact

of the storm. Airports remained closed

across the East Coast and far beyond

as tens of thousands of travelers found

they couldn’t get where they were going.

IHS Global Insight, a forecasting

firm, predicted the storm will end up

causing about $20 billion in damage

and $10 billion to $30 billion in lost

business — big numbers probably off-

set by reconstruction and repairs that

will contribute to longer-term growth.

Sandy began in the Atlantic and

knocked around the Caribbean — kill-

ing nearly 70 people — and strength-

ened into a hurricane as it chugged

across the southeastern coast of the

United States.

By Tuesday night, it had ebbed in

strength but was joining up with anoth-

er, more wintry storm — an expected

confluence of weather systems that

earned it nicknames such as “super-

storm” and, on Halloween eve, “Fran-

kenstorm.” TED ANTHONY (AP)

Scenes of Destruction In Big AppleNew York

Stripped of its bustle and mostly cut

off from the world, New York was left

wondering Tuesday when its partic-

ular way of life — carried by subway,

lit by skyline and powered by 24-hour

deli — would return.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the

power company said it could be several

days before the lights come on for hun-

dreds of thousands of people plunged

into darkness by Superstorm Sandy.

And Bloomberg said it could be

four or five days before the subway,

which suffered the worst damage in its

108-year history, is running again. All

10 of the tunnels that carry New York-

ers under the East River were flooded.

“This was a devastating storm, maybe

the worst that we have ever experi-

enced,” Bloomberg said.

Scenes of the damage were every-

where after Sandy destroyed buildings

and killed at least 18 in New York City.

Between 80 and 100 flooded homes in

Queens caught fire and were destroyed

and a broken boom of a crane dangled

precariously in Midtown.

“Oh, Jesus. Oh, no,” said Faye

Schwartz, 65, as she surveyed the dam-

age in Brooklyn. (AP)

Superstorm Sandy

‘We Were Spared’D.C. area begins to return to normal as post-Sandy cleanup gets under wayWashington

Though Superstorm Sandy took only

a sideswipe at Washington, local resi-

dents awoke Tuesday to find that even

a glancing blow from the powerful

storm was enough to cause massive

power outages and extensive damage.

Winds calmed and the heavy rain

trailed off as the storm system pushed

toward the upper Midwest, but downed

power lines, toppled trees and scat-

tered fl ooding closed schools and gov-

ernment offi ces for a second day. Four

deaths in Maryland and Virginia were

attributed to the storm.

Offi cials also warned that fl ooding

could worsen over the next two days

as the tide rises and storm-swollen riv-

ers and creeks fl ow from the north and

west into local waterways.

But many also awoke with a sense of

relief that the destruction wasn’t worse.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge reopened

after a record closure, and Fairfax,

Montgomery and Prince George’s coun-

ties announced that schools would open

Wednesday after a two-day break, as

would the federal government.

“We were spared the worst,” Mary-

land Gov. Martin O’Malley said Tuesday

from the state’s emergency operations

center. “It’s clear we were fortunate to

be on the weaker side of the storm.”

With most local power outages con-

centrated in Northern Virginia, resi-

dents of jurisdictions that historically

have experienced long power outages

exulted at their relative good fortune.

“It’s kind of a vacation for me,”

said Debra Cameron of North Bethes-

da, who had prepared for a prolonged

period without electricity. Her lights

never fl ickered.

Outside the region, the story was

different. In Ocean City, Md., where a

pier was shorn in two on Monday, crews

braved a cold wind and began to clear

streets. Nearly 10 inches of rain deluged

the town, which was battered by hurri-

cane-force gusts that tore heavy metal

benches off their perches.

In downtown Annapolis, Md., har-

bor water fl ooded shops and restaurants

and forced street closures. It stopped

well short of the iconic Market House,

a traditional yardstick for fl ooding.

“This can happen here after any big

rain storm. … Isabel was clear up the

street,” said Pat Horm, 64, of Annapo-

lis. She was referring to Hurricane Isa-

bel, which submerged much of the lower

part of downtown Annapolis in 2003.

In the hard-hit city of Crisfi eld, Md.,

National Guard and rescue teams evac-

uated more than 100 people from the

Summer’s Cove area.

More f looding was expected

throughout the region. The Nation-

al Weather Service said water levels

Every July, the ponies cross the channel between Assateague in Maryland and Chincoteague. (AP)

Metro Returns to Service After SandyAfter rare shutdown, trains and buses are slowly running again

Washington

Metro slowly began moving railcars

and buses back into action Tues-

day after the worst of Superstorm

Sandy passed through the region.

All lines ran on a Sunday sched-

ule, minus weekend track work,

once the system reopened at 2 p.m.

Most bus routes also reopened.

On Sunday, facing the “threat of

stuff blowing into the tracks” — as

spokesman Dan Stessel put it — in

outdoor sections of the rail system,

Metro preemptively shut down its

entire service on Monday.

Metro’s complete shutdown

appeared to have little, if any, prec-

edent since the rail system opened

in 1976. The system is the second

busiest in the U.S.; bus and rail

systems combined provide about

a million trips each workday.

Metro has restricted service

in the past because of inclement

weather. On Sept. 18, 2003, opera-

tions closed at 11 a.m. in response to

Tropical Storm Isabel, Stessel said.

Heavy snowstorms of the past few

years have also curtailed opera-

tions severely, to the point that ser-

vice was virtually halted at times.

(THE WASHINGTON POST)

Other Local TransitHere’s a breakdown of the status of other local transportation in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy:

MARC train service will resume Wednesday, though delays are possible should problems arise.

Virginia Regional Transit began normal service as of 1 p.m. Tuesday.

The $15 surcharge authorized by the D.C. Taxicab Commission expired automatically at noon Tuesday, 24 hours after it began. The surcharge could have been canceled early or extended, but the city’s taxicab commission didn’t elect to do either of those things.

Eagles Are Sticking With Vick

Michael Vick remains the starting

quarterback in Philadelphia, for

now. Three people familiar with

the decision told the Associated

Press on Monday night that coach

Andy Reid hasn’t benched Vick.

Vick, the four-time Pro Bowl

quarterback, has struggled this

season, and Philadelphia (3-4) has

lost three-straight games.

Reid didn’t endorse Vick after

Sunday’s 30-17 loss to Atlanta, say-

ing he’s going to evaluate all his

starters. Vick then said he would

support whatever decision Reid

makes. That led to speculation

Vick’s days were numbered. But

Reid is sticking with Vick over

unproven rookie Nick Foles.

Reid has changed his mind on

his quarterbacks in a 24-hour period

before, reversing his call on Kevin

Kolb and replacing him with Vick

in 2010. It’s unlikely he would do it

again and give Foles, a third-round

pick out of Arizona, his first NFL

snap on the road in a Monday night

game against New Orleans. (AP)

A Season of Optimism for the Wizards

One day during training camp,

Wizards owner Ted Leonsis was

shooting standing-still jump shots

with face-of-the-franchise John

Wall. Leonsis used the moment

to educate the point guard about

Sam Jones, the Hall of Fame guard

who could make a bank shot from

just about anywhere on the court.

“I was just spending a lit-

tle bit of time with John,” Leon-

sis said. “And his body’s changed.

He’s thicker and bigger. His voice

is deeper. He’s becoming a man.

“And then you realize he should

be in college. He’d be a senior.”

Wall has indeed grown up a bit,

having turned 22 last month as he

Team starts the year banged up but still has playoff dreams

The Wizards

The Wizards hope this is the season they return to the playoffs, but injuries to Nene,

left, and John Wall, right, could cause Washington to get off to a slow start.

begins his third season in the NBA.

He figured this would be the year

that would substantially define his

career, the year he would show that

he was fully worthy of being the

No. 1 overall pick in 2010.

It still might happen, but the

launch has been postponed. Wall

is expected to miss the first month

of the season after being diagnosed

with the early stages of a stress

injury to his left knee cap.

That should be all the heartbreak

available to the Wizards, who have

missed the playoffs in pitiable fash-

ion for four-straight years. They’ve

finished more than 25 games under

.500 each time during the drought,

including the lockout-shortened sea-

son of 2011-12.

But there’s more. Their second-

best player, Nene, has been idle as

he deals with plantar fasciitis in

his left foot. He hadn’t practiced

with the team before its regular

wowed by his skills and leadership.

In general, preseason consisted

of one mishap after another, from

Kevin Seraphin’s strained right calf

to Trevor Booker’s nagging left ham-

string to Emeka Okafor’s bout with

food poisoning. Those aren’t long-

term injuries, but they’ve wrecked

any plans coach Randy Wittman

had for establishing some sort of

lineup continuity as he tries to snap

the playoff skid.

From the Department of Sil-

ver Linings, Wittman came up

with this explanation on how

the adversity will help the team:

“You anticipate that when every-

body gets back healthy, that the

guys here that have gotten more

playing time than they probably

would are going to be better pre-

pared to be playing,” Wittman said.

“You hope when we’re all healthy

that we’re a better team because of

this happening.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)

games with the Wizards after he

was acquired in a trade late last sea-

son, but that was more than enough

Mike Shanahan called the next

game a “must-win” and swore

at himself for putting Robert

Griffin III in harm’s way on a trick

play. The coach said injuries were

largely to blame for having the

worst pass defense in the NFL and

insisted the outlook for the Red-

skins should improve.

Shanahan was in a more can-

did mood than usual on Monday.

Maybe it was because Hurri-

cane Sandy forced Shanahan to

hold his news conference over the

telephone instead of in an audi-

torium. Or possibly because his

team is 3-5 and seemingly can’t

stop anybody.

Then again, it could have possi-

bly been because a loss to the bot-

tom-of-the-NFC Carolina Panthers

would indeed signal that the Red-

skins are destined to be out of the

running early once again.

“Everybody knows it’s a must-

win game when you’re 3-5. ... If

you have any chance at the play-

offs, everybody understands at

the midway point that you’ve got

to start playing your best football

or you’re eliminated awful quick,”

Shanahan said.

Make-or-Break Time For the RedskinsHalfway through season, team faces a ‘must-win’ game

The Redskins

The struggling Panthers (1-6)

are good to have as a “must-win”

opponent, assuming the Redskins

players aren’t looking ahead to the

bye week that follows. The sched-

ule gets tough afterward, with

three consecutive NFC East games

and the Baltimore Ravens next on

the docket.

Whether the Redskins can break

their playoff drought — and a string

of four-straight last-place division

finishes — will depend largely on

the 52 players who aren’t nick-

named RGIII.

The rookie quarterback has

been disproportionately responsi-

ble for whatever success the team

has had this season, but, as Shana-

han said after Sunday’s 27-12 loss to

the Pittsburgh Steelers: “He’s got to

have some help.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)

Rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III has been the Redskins’ top bright spot .

Redskins’ Woes Reasons the Redskins face a “must-win” situation this week:

The defense remains on pace to become the first in NFL history to allow 5,000 passing yards.

They are third in the league in both penalties (112) and penalty yards (998).

When DeAngelo Hall was ejected on Sunday, it was the third time this season the Redskins have been flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct in the final minutes of a loss. (AP)

Bruce Bochy’s office off a hallway

in the visitors’ clubhouse at Com-

erica Park overflowed with people

at 1 a.m. Monday. The man who

preceded Bochy as manager of the

San Francisco Giants, Felipe Alou,

stood in the doorway, smiling. The

World Series trophy, secured less

than two hours before, rested on a

small table in the corner. Visitors,

holding beers and soaked in cham-

pagne, ducked in and out.

On Sunday night into Monday,

everybody wanted to be a Giant.

“I’m numb, really, the fact that

we’ve won two World Series in the

last three years,” Bochy said after

his team swept away the Detroit

Tigers. Given his stumbling answers

place in the game — more champi-

onships than Bobby Cox or Davey

Johnson, the only active manager

besides Terry Francona with two —

numb sounded about right.

But baseball has now woken up

to the Giants. One title can be an

aberration, and the 2010 champion-

ship — with unforeseeable contri-

butions from unpredictable sources

— could have seemed so. It meant

everything to the city of San Fran-

cisco, which hadn’t won a World

Series since the franchise moved

from New York in 1958. The rest

of baseball, though, could logical-

ly say, “That won’t happen again.”

Now, it has. The Giants fi nished

their season on a seven-game win-

ning streak that showed not only

the bond they built this fall, but

the franchise they have built for

the future.

And there is a quiet confi dence

about what just transpired, and

what might come next. “We’re sit-

ting in a good spot,” said Giants

General Manager Brian Sabean.

Shining His LightA Md. native puts his visual-effects talents to good use in ‘Wreck-It Ralph’

Film

Daniel Kruse remembers vividly the

first time he was flown from Mary-

land to the glittering footlights of

Southern California, where his film

was to be shown before an audience

casting a critical gaze.

He was in third grade.

“It was an Anaheim fi lm festi-

val,” Kruse recalls of his heady fi rst

brush with cinematic success. “We

won a bunch of local fi lm fests and

got pushed out to this international

student fi lm festival.” At the time,

he attended Thomas G. Pullen Cre-

ative and Performing Arts School

in Landover. Now, he’s a 31-year-old

rising visual-effects talent whose

resume already includes credits

on “Avatar,” “The Amazing Spi-

der-Man” and “The Curious Case

of Benjamin Button.”

He and several classmates who

teamed to make their CG-enhanced

f ilm, “Our Space Adventure,”

learned early that you’ve got to hus-

tle to make it to — or at least near —

Hollywood; they sold candy bars

to help pay for the plane tickets.

In California came their

reward.

“We wound up as the win-

ning fi lm,” Kruse says. “Here

I am, as a kid, winning stu-

dent fi lm awards!”

Today, Kruse’s creative

thrill ride has only picked up speed.

His latest project is set in the world

of rapid, hurtling video games.

Kruse is responsible for guiding

the state-of-the-art lighting effects

in Disney’s new big-budget anima-

tion feature “Wreck-It Ralph,” which

opens Friday. The fi lm features the

voices of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silver-

man and Jane Lynch and is a visu-

al stunner that careens from 8-bit,

“Donkey Kong”-style ’80s games to

high-def nods to “Halo.”

“At Disney, the thought pro-

cess is so much more creative

and different than anything

I’ve worked on before,” says

the L.A.-based Kruse. “There

is a more painterly, draw-

ing way of lighting.” MICHAEL

CAVNA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“At Disney, the thought process is so much more creative and diff erent than anything I’ve worked on before. There is a more painterly, drawing way of lighting.”

Let There Be …Visual-effects artist Daniel Kruse, below, helped create “Sugar Rush,” above, a cotton candy-colored environment that looks like a cross between a driving game and “My Little Pony.” “Sugar Rush” is a main setting in “Wreck-It Ralph,” as the lead characters navigate its various twists and turns. Lighting these scenes was a daily challenge to raise — and reinvent — his game, Kruse says. “Everything has this saturated, beautiful color palette that you work hard to achieve.” (TWP)

Frankensitcom! As Frankenstorm Sandy pummeled the East Coast on Monday, NBC announced its own monstrous creation — the Frankensitcom!

“Up All Night,” the single-camera comedy about a couple (Will Arnett and Christina Applegate) raising a baby, will be retooled in the middle of its second season, returning this spring as a multicamera sitcom,

recorded in front of a live studio audience.

Executive producer and “Saturday Night Live” co-creator Lorne Michaels came up with the idea, noting NBC’s success with “30 Rock’s” live episodes.

“Up All Night” co-star Maya Rudolph is an “SNL” alum, and Applegate spent years on “Married With Children,” so the actors are used to crowds.

The radical reshuffle comes after season 2 dropped the workplace setting (more of the show now takes place at home) and switched up the cast (in: Luka Jones; out: Jennifer Hall). “Everybody Loves Raymond’s” Tucker Cawley took over as show runner, though the series’ light tone — somewhere between “30 Rock” and “Parks and Recreation” — remained largely unchanged.

But with new sets and live laughter, “Up All Night” will return as something completely different: a strange patchwork of two sitcom formats.

Disney to Acquire Lucasfi lm for $4.05BFirst of three new ‘Star Wars’ movies to hit theaters in 2015

Film

Disney is paying $4.05 billion to

buy Lucasfilm Ltd., the production

company behind “Star Wars,” from

its chairman and founder, George

Lucas. It’s also making a seventh

movie in the “Star Wars” series

called “Episode 7,” set for release

in 2015, with plans to follow it with

Episodes 8 and 9 and then one new

movie every two or three years.

The Walt Disney Co. announced

the blockbuster agreement to make

the purchase in cash and stock Tues-

Ubisoft’s historical action sequel

as Superstorm Sandy continued

to disrupt the New York entertain-

ment scene, including Broadway,

talk shows, concerts and the pre-

miere of “Anna Karenina.”

New York City officials said that

all film permits for Monday and

Tuesday were revoked because of

the storm and safety precautions.

“There will be no city authorized

outdoor filming within the five bor-

oughs,” read a statement Monday

from the Mayor’s Office of Film,

Theatre and Broadcasting.

Production was affected on sev-

eral TV shows, including “Gossip

Girl,” “Person of Interest,” “Smash,”

“666 Park Avenue” and “Elemen-

tary.” “The Daily Show” and “The

Colbert Report” also took Monday

night off, and all 40 Broadway the-

aters were dark through Tuesday.

The storm halted production

on a few films as well, including

Akiva Goldsman’s “Winter’s Tale”

and Darren Aronofsky’s “Noah.”

The storm forced Focus Features

to postpone the Manhattan pre-

miere of “Anna Karenina,” which

was set for Tuesday.

Jimmy Kimmel canceled his late-

night ABC talk show Monday. He

was scheduled to host his Holly-

wood-based “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

all week from Brooklyn, where he

was born. David Letterman and

Jimmy Fallon taped their talk shows

without audiences.

“Theater owners here in New

York had to cancel all the Broad-

way shows today,” Fallon said in

his opening monologue. “Many per-

formers were having trouble making

it in to the city, and you could tell

by that one show, ‘Blue Man Guy.’ ”

CBS and the CW opted to air

reruns of its scheduled program-

ming, while NBC and ABC showed

new episodes. However, several sta-

tions interrupted network broad-

casts with live news coverage of

the storm. DERRIK J. LANG (AP)

Jimmy Fallon did Monday’s “Late Night” episode without a live studio audience.

“We got lucky. I woke up [Tuesday] to my cell

phone ringing. It was [my husband]’s work checking

to see if he was teleworking or taking the day off. Why

they needed to know at 6:48 a.m., I’ll never understand.”

— MCMMAMARUNS.COM got an early wake-up call after waking

up safe and sound with no damage to her home.

“The fact that the NYU hospital is dark but Goldman Sachs is well-lit is everything

that’s wrong with this country.”

— @KENSHADFORD lamented the conditions in New York City on Monday

night that forced the hospital to evacuate its PICU and NICU wards after

its backup generator failed.

“Meanwhile, days later, Sandy’s toll continues

to climb in Haiti, where there are very few cameras but much

misery.”— @BILLMCKIBBEN reacts to a Washington Post story about the island nation in the

Caribbean, stating that Haitian officials say 18,000 families living in tent camps have been

rendered homeless by Hurricane Sandy.

“Don’t know if this is real, but … RT

@mcandrew: The carousel in Dumbo, underwater, still lit, strangely beautiful.”

— @BRUCE_ARTHUR was mesmerized by amateur photos of Jane’s Carousel in

Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood after floodwaters rose Monday night.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your

unique perspective will allow you free-

dom throughout the day — and it can be

shared liberally with those around you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A

hidden danger lurks not far from home.

You’ll want to take all necessary precau-

tions — but you can’t avoid all hazards.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Even

the smallest detail today can have a

major impact — especially if you are

unprepared to deal with it.

ing on for some time. Get in touch right

now!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) An awk-

ward situation is eased simply by being

honest about your own sense of dis-

comfort. This may be something you

can laugh about.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re inter-

ested in promoting certain ideas in new

ways — but a question of safety and

security may keep you from doing all

you can.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are

judging another in a way that should be

avoided — and it’s all a misunderstand-

ing springing from a chance encounter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can

rely on a friend to do what is necessary

to promote a current project without

threatening your own autonomy one bit.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) What you

have to say may be difficult for some

people to hear — but you know that it

must be said without apology, before

the day is out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A key issue may

not be fully understood — either by your

or others directly involved with you.

Guesswork may be unavoidable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can

expect to encounter some rough terrain

as you travel to previously unexplored

territory — literally or figuratively.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can

maintain a calm, rational stance today

even while those around you seem to be

losing their cool. Much depends on tim-

ing during the evening.
