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

Early Voting

President Barack Obama, accompanied by American Red Cross President and CEO Gail J. McGovern, speaks Tuesday at the Red Cross National Headquarters in D.C.

CHARLES DHARAPAK/AP

Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney edged back into active campaigning Tuesday while President Barack Obama stayed close to the White House — rival candidates 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 donations — for relief agencies rather than their own campaign treasuries. “This is a tough time for millions of people … But America is tougher,” the president said during a brief visit to the American Red Cross in Washington. He said he wanted “no bureaucracy, no red tape” to interfere 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 supporters 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

On Tuesday in Kettering, Ohio, Mitt Romney helps collect supplies from residents and local relief organizations for victims of Superstorm Sandy.

The race for the White House was hardly on hold. President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney on Tuesday pushed their supporters to vote early. Locally, early voting will resume in Maryland on Wednesday, and several early voting locations that had closed around Virginia on Monday because of the storm were open for business Tuesday. The D.C. Board of Elections says early voting will start Wednesday, and the hours will be extended until 9 p.m. at all locations through Saturday. (AP)

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 Jersey. He plans to remain in Washington to monitor recovery efforts. The chances that the superstorm 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.

Superstorm Now Inland, Its Wrath Far From Over Harrisburg, Pa. 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 beginning a long slog across Pennsylvania and upstate New York, with its effects spreading as far west as Wisconsin and Illinois. What’s left of Sandy was forecast to spend most of Tuesday heading across Pennsylvania and then take a sharp turn Wednesday into western New York, weakening as it moves, said Daniel Brown, a hurricane 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

Airstrikes Slam Rebels Bombings intensify in Syria amid battle for strategic city Beirut Air raids by regime forces collapsed expanses of buildings Tuesday in a rebel-held city that straddles a key supply route from the capital Damascus to Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and a main front in the civil war. While residents dug the bodies from the rubble, forces loyal to President Bashar Assad clashed with rebels south of the city targeted by the airstrikes, Maaret alNuman. Rebels captured the strategic city this month and have been disrupting the flow of military supplies to Assad’s forces fighting for control of Aleppo. Assad’s regime has been hammering 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 wider civil war: Lightly armed reb-

Activists speculated that the government’s heavy reliance on air power reﬂected its inability to roll back rebel gains.

Behind it: a dazed, inundated New York City, a waterlogged Atlantic Coast and a moonscape of disarray and debris — from unmoored shoretown boardwalks to submerged masstransit systems to delicate presidential 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 electricity and entire streets ended up under water — as did all the subway tunnels between Manhattan and Brooklyn at one point, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said. The scope of the storm’s damage wasn’t known yet. Though early predictions of river ﬂooding in Sandy’s inland path were petering out, colder temperatures made snow the main product of Sandy’s slow march from the sea. Parts of the West Virginia mountains 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 Tennessee-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.

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 offset by reconstruction and repairs that will contribute to longer-term growth. Sandy began in the Atlantic and knocked around the Caribbean — killing nearly 70 people — and strengthened 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 another, more wintry storm — an expected confluence of weather systems that earned it nicknames such as “superstorm” and, on Halloween eve, “Frankenstorm.” TED ANTHONY (AP)

HAD 7 FEET OF WATER IN THE BASEMENT

Stripped of its bustle and mostly cut off from the world, New York was left wondering Tuesday when its particular 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 hundreds 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 Yorkers under the East River were flooded. “This was a devastating storm, maybe the worst that we have ever experienced,” Bloomberg said. Scenes of the damage were everywhere 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 damage in Brooklyn. (AP)

Fleeing The Flood

Washington Though Superstorm Sandy took only a sideswipe at Washington, local residents 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 scattered ﬂooding closed schools and government ofﬁces for a second day. Four deaths in Maryland and Virginia were attributed to the storm.

Officials also warned that flooding could worsen over the next two days as the tide rises and storm-swollen rivers and creeks flow 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 counties announced that schools would open Wednesday after a two-day break, as would the federal government. “We were spared the worst,” Maryland 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 concentrated in Northern Virginia, residents 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 Bethesda, who had prepared for a prolonged period without electricity. Her lights never flickered. 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 hurricane-force gusts that tore heavy metal benches off their perches. In downtown Annapolis, Md., harbor water flooded shops and restaurants and forced street closures. It stopped well short of the iconic Market House, a traditional yardstick for flooding. “This can happen here after any big rain storm. … Isabel was clear up the street,” said Pat Horm, 64, of Annapolis. She was referring to Hurricane Isabel, which submerged much of the lower part of downtown Annapolis in 2003. In the hard-hit city of Crisfield, Md., National Guard and rescue teams evacuated more than 100 people from the Summer’s Cove area. More f looding was ex pec ted throughout the region. The National Weather Service said water levels should crest Wednesday or Thursday. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Metro Returns to Service After Sandy After rare shutdown, trains and buses are slowly running again Metro slowly began moving railcars and buses back into action Tuesday after the worst of Superstorm Sandy passed through the region. All lines ran on a Sunday schedule, 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, precedent 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, operations closed at 11 a.m. in response to Tropical Storm Isabel, Stessel said. Heavy snowstorms of the past few years have also curtailed operations severely, to the point that service was virtually halted at times. (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Other Local Transit Here’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. (T WP)

A Season of Optimism for the Wizards 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 little bit of time with John,” Leonsis 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

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 fashion for four-straight years. They’ve finished more than 25 games under .500 each time during the drought, including the lockout-shortened season of 2011-12. But there’s more. Their secondbest 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

Team starts the year banged up but still has playoff dreams

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.

season opener against Cleveland on Tuesday. Nene played only 11 games with the Wizards after he

was acquired in a trade late last season, but that was more than enough for coaches and teammates to be

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 hamstring to Emeka Okafor’s bout with food poisoning. Those aren’t longterm 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 Silver Linings, Wittman came up with this explanation on how the adversity will help the team: “You anticipate that when everybody gets back healthy, that the guys here that have gotten more playing time than they probably would are going to be better prepared 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)

Where Innovation is Tradition

Michael Vick, far left, won’t be on the bench to start the Eagles’ game in New Orleans.

Eagles Are Sticking With Vick Pro Football 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, saying 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)

Make-or-Break Time For the Redskins Halfway through season, team faces a ‘must-win’ game The Redskins 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 Redskins should improve. Shanahan was in a more candid mood than usual on Monday. Maybe it was because Hurricane Sandy forced Shanahan to hold his news conference over the telephone instead of in an auditorium. Or possibly because his team is 3-5 and seemingly can’t stop anybody. Then again, it could have possibly been because a loss to the bottom-of-the-NFC Carolina Panthers would indeed signal that the Redskins are destined to be out of the running early once again. “Everybody knows it’s a mustwin game when you’re 3-5. ... If you have any chance at the playoffs, everybody understands at the midway point that you’ve got to start playing your best football or you’re eliminated awful quick,” Shanahan said.

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)

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 schedule 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 nicknamed RGIII. The rookie quarterback has been disproportionately responsible for whatever success the team has had this season, but, as Shanahan said after Sunday’s 27-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers: “He’s got to have some help.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)

Sergio Romo kisses Marco Scutaro after the Giants won the World Series on Sunday.

Giants Earn a Place In Baseball Lore San Francisco deﬁes skeptics with its 2nd title in 3 years Pro Baseball Bruce Bochy’s office off a hallway in the visitors’ clubhouse at Comerica 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 champagne, 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 to fawning questions about his own 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 championship — with unforeseeable contributions from unpredictable sources — could have seemed so. It meant everything to the city of San Francisco, which hadn’t won a World Series since the franchise moved from New York in 1958. The rest of baseball, though, could logically say, “That won’t happen again.” Now, it has. The Giants ﬁnished their season on a seven-game winning 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 conﬁdence about what just transpired, and what might come next. “We’re sitting in a good spot,” said Giants General Manager Brian Sabean. BARRY SVRLUGA (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Not Changing Stripes The Detroit Tigers said Tuesday they are bringing back manager Jim Leyland. This will be Leyland’s 22nd season as a major-league manager and his eighth in Detroit. He led the Tigers to the World Series this year for the second time during his time with the club. The 67-year-old leads all active managers with 1,676 wins, 15th most on the career list. (AP)

Inside Jokes

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 By Rudi success with “30 Greenberg 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.

Shining His Light A 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 Maryland 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 film festival,” Kruse recalls of his heady first brush with cinematic success. “We won a bunch of local film fests and got pushed out to this international student film festival.” At the time, he attended Thomas G. Pullen Creative 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 Spider-Man” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” He and several classmates who teamed to make their CG-enhanced film, “Our Space Adventure,” learned early that you’ve got to hustle 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 winning ﬁlm,” Kruse says. “Here I am, as a kid, winning student ﬁlm awards!” Today, Kruse’s creative

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.” (T WP)

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 animation feature “Wreck-It Ralph,” which opens Friday. The ﬁlm features the voices of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch and is a visual stunner that careens from 8-bit, “Donkey Kong”-style ’80s games to high-def nods to “Halo.” “At Disney, the thought process 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, drawing way of lighting.” MICHAEL CAVNA (THE WASHINGTON POST )

“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.”

“Meanwhile, days later, Sandy’s toll continues to climb in Haiti, where there are very few cameras but much misery.”

— 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.

PAR SCORE 150-160, BEST SCORE 209

Sudoku

MEDIUM

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your unique perspective will allow you freedom 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 precautions — 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. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone far from home holds the key to a personal mystery you have been working on for some time. Get in touch right now! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) An awkward situation is eased simply by being honest about your own sense of discomfort. This may be something you can laugh about.

Friday’s Solution

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re interested 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 misunderstanding 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.

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7 letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

Comics

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 timing during the evening.
