during pre-game ceremonies before the Heat plays the Boston
Celtics.
UNDATED (AP) – Two other games are on tonight’s NBA’s opening
night schedule, including the Washington Wizards visiting
Cleveland. In the final game of the night, Kobe Bryant’s status is
unclear as he is recovering from a foot injury as the new-look Los
Angeles Lakers host the Dallas Mavericks.
The Dallas Mavericks have waived guard Delonte (deh-LAHN’-tay)
West after suspending him twice in less than two weeks for conduct
detrimental to the team. The move created a roster spot for center
Eddy Curry, who was picked up last week and could end up starting
in the opener against the Los Angeles Lakers because of an injury
to Chris Kaman (KAY’-mihn).

NEW YORK (AP) – President Barack Obama has declared a major
disaster for New York City and Long Island.
Superstorm Sandy is marching slowly inland after leaving at least 17 dead in its march up the East Coast. Millions of people are without power or mass
transit and many areas are flooded.
NEW YORK (AP) – New York City is among the hardest hit places
and the effects of Superstorm Sandy are expected to linger for a
while.

vehicle tunnels are flooded. A fire destroyed at least 50 houses
overnight in Queens and the financial district is closed for a
second day.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – A different form of water from
Superstorm Sandy has blitzed West Virginia — snow and lots of it.
A blizzard warning covers a large part of the state today as snow
and high winds blow over Appalachia.
Forecasters say a foot and more of snow was reported in lower elevations. High elevations in the mountains were getting more than two feet. More than 128,000 customers in West Virginia are without power.
SENDAI, Japan (AP) – An audit by the Japanese government shows a
lot of money earmarked for earthquake and tsunami reconstruction
went elsewhere.
About a quarter of the $148 billion budget has been
spent on unrelated projects, including research whaling.
More than half the $148 billion hasn’t even been doled out yet. Nearly all of
the 340,000 people evacuated from the disaster zone remain
uncertain how they will ever resettle.
GENEVA (AP) – Swiss banking giant UBS AG is to cut as many as
10,000 employees, or some 15 percent of its staff, to drastically
shrink its ailing investment bank.
The news of the layoffs came as Switzerland’s biggest bank posted another big loss for the third quarter. It says the job cuts are part of a strategy to shore up profits.
