Pierre McGuire on MFB: 'Dumbfounded' at Bruins' loss to Maple Leafs | 11.13.14 at 1:43 pm ET |
NBC Sports NHL analyst Pierre McGuire made his weekly appearance Thursday on Middays with MFB, following broadcasting the Bruins' blowout loss to Toronto Wednesday night and to discuss the state of the team going into Thursday's game against Montreal. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
McGuire was inside the benches during the Bruins' 6-1 loss Wednesday night, and did not like what he saw from the Bruins team, which was unexpected as he thought they would have played well going in.
"I said this last night, and I meant it sincerely, I haven't seen the Bruins get beat like that in a long time," said McGuire. "I was dumbfounded by that because I was around their room, I talked to their coaches before the game. The players really had an intense situation that they were looking at, they were looking like they were up to the challenge.
"The coaches were really excited — they had won six of their previous seven, all seven games that they had played previously [Zdeno] Chara wasn't there, and they were finding ways to get it done. Obviously [Patrice] Bergeron and [Dougie] Hamilton were really playing well. I had the feeling they were going to play a really good game last night, and I was really wrong. They did not play a good game last night."
Tuukka Rask was pulled in the second period after allowing four goals and although he might not have played in the second half of the back-to-back, McGuire says he should after what took place Wednesday night, and Rask not playing the entire game.
"[Tuukka] has to get his team's confidence in Montreal, so that the team knows that he can deliver there," he said. "It is up to him, and if I were Claude [Julien], he's playing tonight."
"You have to get back on your horse and Tuukka is going to play guilty tonight," he added. "I don't know if he is going to be good enough to win or not, but he has to get in there and play guilty and say, 'I wasn't good enough last night.' I think he's that honest with himself and with his teammates, that I think he will play guilty tonight."

5 things we learned as Maple Leafs made Bruins miss Zdeno Chara | 11.12.14 at 10:32 pm ET |
TORONTO – The first eight games of the Zdeno Chara-less schedule looked like a group of largely winnable contests before they would have to face the Canadiens.
For as well as the Bruins survived that stretch, they ended it in disastrous fashion.
For all the bad moments have had this season — and they've had plenty between their early-season struggles and the injuries they've suffered – they hadn't really gotten walloped by anyone, let alone a Maple Leafs opponent they had handled easily without Chara once already.
The Bruins' 6-1 loss to the Maple Leafs (here is the box score) provided a reminder for anyone who had forgotten that, though Boston hasn't played many good teams of late, things are a lot harder without No. 33 on the ice. Phil Kessel, a player who is usually silent against his former team because of Chara, enjoyed a two-goal night against Boston's mortal blue line.
Tuukka Rask was yanked after giving up three goals early in the second period and four on the night. Even what looked like a well-targeted Bruins goal by Reilly Smith was negated in the second period by Carl Soderberg being in the crease.
Of course, it wasn't just about Chara, Rask or Boston's defense. This was one of those once-in-a-season colossal stinkers that a team can only hope will end up being their worst loss of the season with few other candidates.
Here are four other things we learned Wednesday night:
Zdeno Chara noncommittal on lack of surgery | 11.04.14 at 12:50 pm ET |
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara spoke to the media Tuesday for the first time since suffering a torn PCL on Oct. 23.
Prior to the team's morning skate, Chara stood in the hall at TD Garden with a brace on his leg as he stickhandled and shot pucks against the wall. He is in the second week of what is expected to be a 4-6 week recovery.
The day after the injury, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said that surgery was not expected to be required for Chara. Asked Tuesday if he was happy to not need surgery, Chara wasn't as definitive.
"Well, we'll see," Chara said. "It's always nice to avoid surgery. We'll see how it goes, but that was obviously good news."
It's worth noting that Aaron Ward, who first reported Chara's injury, said in his initial report that the Bruins would "evaluate need for surgery or not" at the end of the 4-6 week process.
When asked about a timeline for his recovery, Chara was noncommittal.
Said Chara: "I wish I could tell you guys exactly when I'm going to return but at this point it's such a slow process, who knows where it's going?"
The injury was suffered in the first period of the team's loss to the Islanders on a hit to New York captain John Tavares. Following the hit, Chara stayed on the ice during a TV timeout and finished his shift upon the game resuming. He left the bench but said he had not felt anything on his hit on Tavares.
"No, nothing," Chara said. "Just on the shift after it I felt some discomfort, but no pain or anything like that. I just went into the locker room to just check on things, but obviously I found out there was more to it."
Since losing the game in which he was injured, the Bruins are 3-1-0 without Chara. The team has also lost Torey Krug to a broken finger in that time, and Kevan Miller was already out with a dislocated shoulder. The team has also pulled Matt Bartkowski from the lineup amidst early season struggles, resulting in Joe Morrow, David Warsofsky and Zach Trotman making up half of Boston's back end.
Pierre McGuire on MFB: 'I believe [Bruins] will find a way' | 10.30.14 at 2:07 pm ET |
NBC Sports NHL analyst Pierre McGuire made his weekly appearance Thursday on Middays with MFB in advance of Thursday night's Bruins game with the Sabres and to talk about the injuries the Bruins have been forced to deal with. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
The Bruins have lost two of their last three games, including two, one-goal games at home — the latest a 4-3 loss to the Wild where they blew a two-goal lead in the third period. McGuire stressed even if the Bruins were to lose to Buffalo Thursday night, it would not be a time to panic.
"It's an 82-game schedule," McGuire said. "This isn't football, it's not every week being a Super Bowl game. You have to understand there are ebbs and flows in every season and there's huge peaks and gigantic valleys that you have to climb out of. This reminds me so much of what Detroit went through last year without [Henrik] Zetterberg and [Pavel] Datsyuk — they had so many key injuries. Jimmy Howard was not doing well due to injury and illness. Everyone said they wouldn't make the playoffs – 22 years in a row they made it, 23 won't happen — but, guess what? They found a way.
"I believe this Boston Bruins team will find a way and a lot of those young players are getting an opportunity to play now, they are going to be the beneficiaries in this."
Added McGuire: "I'm bullish on the Bruins, I really am. There's no substitute for grit and there's no substitute for maturity and this is a mature leadership kind of team that has a tremendous amount of grit."
The Bruins have had a number of injuries to their defensive group, including Zdeno Chara (ligament tear in knee), Torey Krug (broken finger), Kevan Miller (upper-body) on top of the trade of Johnny Boychuk to the Islanders before the season. McGuire says this is a time for three other Bruins defensemen to step up, as well as an important stretch for assistant coach Doug Houda.
"The biggest thing is – limited ice time — this is where Doug Houda, who is not a real big-name on the Bruins, but he's the assistant coach that changes the defense, he's got to really pay attention to matchups," said McGuire. "This is where [Dennis] Seidenberg has to play like he played in Toronto the other night — almost 26 minutes, he was really good. Dougie Hamilton obviously was fantastic in that game. He's going to have to be good. This is where you need Adam McQuaid to be a little bit more stable and better with the puck. Those three guys are going to have to be a lot better, especially when you consider not having Chara, Krug and the trading of Boychuk."
Following are more highlights from the interview. For more Bruins news, visit the team page at weei.com/bruins.
Dougie Hamilton has injury scare a day after Bruins lose Zdeno Chara for month | 10.24.14 at 1:19 pm ET |
The Bruins can't afford to lose another top defensemen ' they've really only got two left ' so things looked pretty scary in Friday's practice when Dougie Hamilton appeared to be in serious pain after getting hit in the right hand with a shot.
After getting hit, Hamilton took his glove off and grimaced for a few minutes as he repeatedly shook his hand. He resumed drills, but shook his hand after each turn and repeatedly went to the bench to get checked on by a trainer.
Following the practice, Hamilton said that his hand was OK, but there was a big red mark where the puck had clearly hit him. The fact that he finished practice is a good sign that the B's survived the scare.
Hamilton skated on the team's top pairing with Dennis Seidenberg in Friday's practice. He has been used as Zdeno Chara's partner this season, but Chara is out for at least a month due to a torn PCL.
The pairings in practice were as follows:
Seidenberg – Hamilton
Krug – McQuaid
Bartkowski – Trotman
Peter Chiarelli says Zdeno Chara (torn PCL) doesn't need surgery, Bruins recall Zach Trotman and Joe Morrow | at 11:42 am ET |
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said Friday morning that Zdeno Chara's injury is a torn posterior cruciate ligament that will keep him out for four to six weeks. Chiarelli said that surgery for Chara is not a likely option.
The Bruins also recalled defensemen Joe Morrow and Zach Trotman from Providence Friday. Chiarelli said that the multiple defensemen callup was partially due to "a couple of little things" players are battling, but that he thinks "it will be OK."
Chiarelli hinted that he will not look to the trade market for a replacement for Chara, responding to such a question with "four to six weeks, we'll have him back."
The B's GM also said that Chara could return before the four-week mark, and that the four-to-six week window was a conservative estimate. He confirmed that the injury was suffered when Chara hit Islanders captain John Tavares in the first period of Thursday's game.
The Bruins' defensive pairings in Friday's practice were as follows:
Seidenberg – Hamilton
Krug – McQuaid
Bartkowski – Trotman

If there's any silver lining to losing your captain and best defenseman for an indefinite period, the Bruins can take some comfort in the fact they've been down this road before.
The Bruins lost Dennis Seidenberg to a torn ACL last season. They lost Chris Kelly to a broken leg last December and a back injury just before the playoffs. The 2013 team made the Stanley Cup finals despite the loss of Gregory Campbell to a broken leg in the Eastern Conference finals. Just last week, Kevan Miller dislocated his shoulder in a fight in Buffalo and has been lost indefinitely.
But when Islanders forward John Tavares' right knee collided with Chara's left knee Thursday night in the B's 3-2 loss, there was the sense that Boston's captain could be out a while early on in a season when the Bruins are struggling to find their identity.
That sense was apparent when talking to Bruins players in the dressing room afterward.
"He's an irreplaceable player, so obviously him not being out there, everyone notices, us and them," Kelly said.
But Kelly insisted that Boston's flat second period Thursday had nothing to do with Boston getting outscored 2-0 and looking listless on the ice.
"I don't think so. They were ready right from the opening faceoff and we weren't," Kelly said. "Like I said, he's an irreplaceable player. He plays every situation for us and he's our leader. We're going to need to fill that void collectively as a group not just one guy is going to be able to do that.
"I though we played desperate, but they were up 3-1. They may have set back a little bit and we pushed the pace. Yeah, the third period was better but like I said, 20 minutes isn't good enough to win hockey games."

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo - INTRO
Now, since were on the subject of theme songs, is anyone interesting in a theme song for teenagers? It seems to me that teenagers dont listen very well because you can tell them things over and over and over and they just dont get it. For instance, I have a teenage daughter and I I have told her more times than I can count, Please clear off the bathroom counter. Before you go to school, put away the hairspray, the deodorant, the curling irons. Just put it all in the drawer. And every time, she will say: Ok, Mom. I totally will. That is no problem at all. And then she goes to school and I walk by the bathroom and everything is still sitting there on the counter. So I have decided that we speak different languages. When I am speaking, this is what she hears:
Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
I am a teenager, so all I hear is

Netanyahu also said he would meet with the US Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, on Wednesday. However, Netanyahu's opposition in Israel predicted tougher times for the prime minister, warning that he would have to explain what they described as his intervention on behalf of Mitt Romney.

He will return to a Congress that has largely remained the same, with Democrats controlling the Senate and Republicans controlling the House, as The New York Times reported. But while the balance of power hasn't changed, the Senate has elected a record number of women in high-profile races, which could perhaps scare off other lawmakers from making any more "legitimate rape" comments. The House could also change in subtle ways.

And a video reel of Sawyer's election coverage has gone viral. Even the Associated Press agreed that it seemed like the bottle was doing most of Sawyer's reporting: "Sawyer spoke more slowly than usual while seeming to prop herself on outstretched arms at the anchor desk she shared with George Stephanopoulos," the AP said. Social media users also quickly picked up on her slurred speech. Singer Josh Groban tweeted,"I'll have what Diane Sawyer is having." New York Times reporter Brian Stelter warned people not to rush to conclusions, tweeting: "Many people saying she seems drunk on air. Alternative theory: she gets this way when she's really tired."

Mitt Romney received 48.1 percent of the popular vote, or 57,098,650 people. UPDATE: 11/07/12 11:00 AM ETDonald Trump has Twitter meltdown In a series of tweets, Donald Trump not-so-subtly let it be known that he is unhappy with Obama's win. He also appeared to have mistakenly believed that Obama lost the popular vote (results for the popular vote are still coming in, but the Huffington Post reports that Obama will likely win that too). Trump declared his anger at the electorial college system in one tweet. He has since deleted it, but not before Gawker captured a screenshot.

The space, just a block from the East River, suffered $200,000 worth of damage from a massive 14-foot surge that dumped five feet of water on the venue during last week's storm. A neighborhood gathering spot for locals and artists, Galapagos sits below the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO on a block now lined with dumpsters and generators providing electricity to the area's flooded buildings and warehouses. "We were totally devastated, this entire venue was up to our neck in water," said Galapagos director Robert Elmes. "We set a deadline and a finish line and we had to cross it ... We knew we had to, or we wouldn't stay alive." Over 80 volunteers came to help — they siphoned water, mopped, shoveled mud. After a long week, many Obama supporters were finally able to enjoy some good news. "The entire room burst into applause!" exclaimed Shree Dhond, a communications consultant, who was stranded in Connecticut during the storm. "It's good to be in a space when you hear good news like that. It's great to feel that energy."

The world's reaction to the Obama win? Pleased ambivalence, according to BBC News correspondents. Europe: expect them to be "waking up this morning with a general sigh of relief," says Chris Morris from Brussels. Africa: ditto that, continent happy because "there is no sign of a grand 'Obama Doctrine' for Africa," writes Andrew Harding from Johannesburg. Well, that's all right then. China: to be honest, a little distracted with their own historic leadership change today, says Martin Patience in Beijing, but Obama is a particular subject of concern for the government due to his pointed policy "pivot" to the region. Iran: mostly pleased, Iranians "very happy to see Barack Obama once again in the White House" because he might (emphasis might) "give Iran peaceful nuclear rights," according to Mohsen Asgari in Tehran. Afghanistan: response here ambivalent to the point of apathy, writes Quentin Sommerville from Kabul, due to the fact that the election "was unlikely to make much of a difference to American policy" in Afghanistan. Pakistan: maybe a little disappointment here, given that Islamabad "has traditionally felt more comfortable with Republican governments," says M Ilyas Khan, writing from the capital.

Especially you 19 (maybe more) female senators, whose election represents the largest-yet female presence in America's the powerful legislative body, according to The Huffington Post. OK, Obama, you can come back on stage now, because the reality is, women love you -- "Obama won re-election last night because women voters had his back," as The New York Post had it. Provisional exit polling data cited by the Post said Obama took 54 percent of the votes cast by women, who represent approximately 53 percent of the electorate. The Washington Post put Obama's women-vote up on Romney by as much as 10 percentage points. Regardless of the exact figures, special civic kudos go to 21-year-old Galacia Malone, who cast her ballot while in labor -- yes, as in, her water had broken and she was literally on the way to a Chicago hospital.

Fox News' Chris Wallace noted that the Romney campaign does not "believe Ohio is in the Obama camp," with a top Romney aide telling him that the campaign disagreed with the network's call. "I think this is premature," Rove said. "We've got a quarter of the vote. Now remember, here is the thing about Ohio. A third of the vote or more is cast early and is won overwhelmingly by the Democrats. It's counted first and then you count the election day and the question is, by the time you finish counting the election day does it overcome that early advantage that Democrats have built up in early voting, particularly in Cuyahoga County."The Romney campaign has not yet conceded.

It still remains too early to call the state.

Hudson County Deputy County Clerk Janet Larwa told the AP that by 3 p.m. today, her county had received 4,000 requests for email ballots. "It's a different kind of nuts," she said.GlobalPost has more right here.

"You always have two speeches prepared because you can't take anything for granted," Obama said. "It is an extraordinary privilege to serve the people, whatever the office. I have served as a state senator, a US senator and now as the president. And each and every time I've been reminded that it is the people where power ultimately resides; and I'm their representative, I'm their servant." "My hope is that after four years of working as hard as I can every single day to help working families all across Denver and all across America, that people will decide that this is someone who works hard for me and cares about me and I want to make sure that he can finish the job."Romney has yet to prepare a concession speech, according to the Washington Post. UPDATE: 11/06/12 6:50 PM ET Speaking of taking exit polls with a grain of salt...Several sources are reporting early exit poll results. Taegan Goddard's Political Wire is reporting the following, sourced to "Republican staffers" and "provided for your enjoyment only. It's probably best to ignore them." 7:00 - Virginia - Tied 7:30 - North Carolina - Romney +1 7:30 - Ohio - Obama +4 8:00 - Florida - Romney +1 8:00 - New Hampshire - Obama +3 8:00 - Pennsylvania - Obama +4 9:00 - Colorado - Tied 9:00 - Minnesota - Obama +4 9:00 - Wisconsin - Obama +410:00 - Iowa (wave 1) Obama +3 10:00 - Nevada (wave 1) Obama +5The Drudge Report is also calling early exit polls, reporting that North Carolina and Florida have gone to Romney, while Obama has snatched up New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada. Ohio, Virginia, Colorado and Iowa remain toss-ups.All of this taken with that heavy grain of salt mentioned earlier. UPDATE: 11/06/12 6:35 PM ET Romney pens 1,1180-word victory speechMitt Romney had victory on the brain Tuesday as he took his final election flight from Pittsburgh to Boston, writing a victory speech but no concession speech, the Associated Press reported. "I feel like we put it all on the field. We left nothing in the locker room. We fought to the very end, and I think that's why we'll be successful," Romney told reporters aboard his plane as he flew to Boston to meet up with Paul Ryan for his election night event. Wall Street Journal blogger Rex Nutting reports that the first couple polls are leaning towards Romney: First results dribbling in from Indiana, Kentucky. Favor Romney as expected. First swing state to close polls is VA, at 7 pm ET. #election — Rex Nutting (@RexNutting) November 6, 2012In addition to Virginia, polls in Vermont, Georgia, South Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky and some of Florida close at 7 p.m. ET. But Virginia is the nail-biter of the bunch, having been staunchly Republican until electing Obama in 2008. Salon.com says its now "one of the swingingest of the swing states." UPDATE: 11/06/12 6:15 PM ET A guide to exit poll watchingExit polls are as exciting as they can be misleading, and the last thing a news outlet wants to do is get tripped up by inaccurate data."It's an interesting contest of peek-a-boo," Frank Newport, editor in chief of the Gallup Poll, told the Washington Post. "The only people who have access are the paying clients. Everybody else can only see what those clients leak out or report. It's a bit of a game in that sense, depending on what comes out, like reading tea leaves when the Vatican is choosing a new pope."Enter the Washington Post Wonkblog's guide to watching the exit polls. Among the cardinal rules: Ignore any polls that come out before 5 p.m. ET, and take early exit polling results with a "giant grain of salt." Oh, and keep your eye firmly on the demographics, says David Flaherty, CEO of the right-leaning Magellan Strategies: they might be the greatest indicator of which way a state is leaning. The Wall Street Journal has also rounded up a list of the 10 things pollsters are probably keeping from you. UPDATE: 11/06/12 5:45 PM ET As the first polls prepare to close, America chows downThe first polls are beginning to close in Indiana and Kentucky at 6 p.m. ET, thoughts turn to the results...and to dinner. Restaurants around the country have been offering up deals and special meals to celebrate the election. Everyone from Tim Horton's (as in, the Canadian donut shop and cafe) to Hooters (yep, really) is offering freebies and discounts to people who flash their "I voted" stickers, the Christian Science Monitor reported. Food blog Menuism also has a round-up of Election-inspired meal deals across the country, and bartenders are having their fair share of fun too.The Policy Restaurant and Lounge in Washington D.C., for example, has whipped up two cocktails, one for each candidate. The Basil "Barack" Berry features blueberry Stoli, orange blossom simple syrup, muddled basil and lime, soda and blue curacao. The Pomegra "Mitt" mojito mixes pomegranik Stoli, cranberry juice, simple syrup, muddled mint and lime and soda, WTOP reported. The best part? When the presidential winner is announced, the winning cocktail will be offered for free during happy hour 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday. UPDATE: 11/06/12 5:30 PM ET International observers don't mess with Texas, IowaInternational election observers heard the message loud and clear last month: Don't mess with Texas.Iowa, too, told foreigners to stay out of the election in their state.So on Tuesday, international observers in Texas were "keeping their distance from polling stations after the state's attorney general threatened them with arrest," the Guardian reported. In Texas, the monitors have to stay 100 feet away from polling places; in Iowa, the distance is 300 feet.Michigan also reportedly blocked observers from monitoring polling stations.Texas Governor Rick Perry defended his state's decision in October, tweeting:No UN monitors/inspectors will be part of any TX election process; I commend @txsecofstate for swift action to clarify issue. — Rick Perry (@GovernorPerry) October 23, 2012But the irony is pretty thick, coming from citizens of a country that routinely sends democracy trainers and monitors to virtually every corner of the globe. And, considering they've been a routine part of US elections since 2002 (remember who was president then? A hint: they hailed from Texas.)Read more about the history on international observers and US elections in this piece from GlobalPost's Jean Mackenzie.UPDATE: 11/06/12 5:25 PM ET Burglary at Seattle HQ of Democratic Party Police are investigating a burglary at the Seattle headquarters of the Democratic party in Washington state, according to the Associated Press.

Sanchez says that while Cubans keep mum about their own elections, they are "very attentive" to those in other countries, especially America. Why? The government here says that the revolution allowed Cuba sovereignty. I don't think Cuba's ever been as dependent on the US as now. If the White House says yes, Havana says no. If the White House says red, Havana says green. If the White House says east, Havana says west. We've never been so dependent on US politics as we have an obsession with doing the opposite. I'd prefer to live in a sovereign country that wasn't constantly following the political agenda of a foreign country ...UPDATE: 11/06/12 5:10 PM ET Obama's grandmother from Kenya: 'My grandson will win' Well, Obama's got one vote from Africa for sure: Sarah Obama says her grandson, Barack, will get a second term.The 90-year-old grandmother to the POTUS, speaking from the village of Kogelo in Kenya, said that his charm and personality are what will pull him through. "His style of leadership skills which he has used to unite all the races in the US is the reason why he is liked by many," Sarah said in the village of Kogelo, Xinhua News Agency reported.GlobalPost correspondent Tristan McConnell, who is at Sarah's home and will be filing detailed reports from Kenya, confirms: @globalpost everyone here in Kogelo - Mama Sarah included - is predicting a win for Obama, or at least praying, dancing and hoping for one — Tristan McConnell (@t_mcconnell) November 6, 2012UPDATE: 11/06/12 5:00 PM ET Provisional votes have all eyes glued to OhioOhio is already a hotly contested state, but voting in the Buckeye has gotten even more attention after its courts have ordered that voters, rather than polling station officials, fill out provisional ballots, which are used to record votes from voters' whose eligibility may be in question. Provisional votes are still counted, but also leave open the possibility that improperly filled out ballots be discarded, CNN reported. Local election boards get 10 days to figure out if those people who cast provisional ballots were eligible. As GlobalPost's Election correspondent Jean MacKenzie reports from Ohio: Ohio requires a potential voter to show ID. Those without adequate identification can file provisional ballots, and then have to prove their eligibility after the election. Provisional ballots will only be counted in the event of a very close election requiring a recount."I sure hope we have a clear result tonight," sighed one poll worker, who did not give her name because she was not authorized to speak with the press. "If not, there will be multiple lawsuits. I would hate to see Obama start a second term under that kind of a cloud."Over 200,000 people used provisional ballots in Ohio during the 2008 election, and roughly the same amount will be cast this time around. "We are going to watch those ballots closely," Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said on CNN's "Starting Point." "We want to make sure that everybody's voice is heard in this election."Romney's camp has also said they will be "ready" for legal intervention in the state if necessary. For everything you ever wanted to know about provisional ballots, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has you covered. UPDATE: 11/06/12 4:45 PM ET Bring on the mapsNo election is complete without the infamous monitoring maps tracking how the country leans and ultimately votes. RealClearPolitics' latest incarnation is showing Obama ahead in electoral votes with 201 to Romney's 191, with 146 "toss-ups" in the grey zone, literally. CNN's map remains safely blank until the first polls close at 7 p.m. ET, though they're also planning a takeover of the Empire State building, which will light up with meters in blue and red to illustrate who is winning the race to the clinching number of 270 electoral votes. To each their gimmicks, right? Meanwhile, the New York Times is playing the nostalgia card with a look back at its old front-page sketches of how the country voted, state-by-state. Their new take is pretty nifty, if not a little dizzying. And if you're sick of reading all your friends' admonishing Facebook posts, you can always turn to the social media site's map tracker, which is working off data based on people clicking on an Election Day 2012 prompt on the site. Perhaps not the most accurate, but definitely better than the political brawls playing out on walls across the country. UPDATE: 11/06/12 4:25 PM ET Reporting from Ohio GlobalPost's correspondent Jean MacKenzie is on the ground in Ohio, touring polling stations.

This is thanks to the backwardness of the extreme right in the US." GlobalPost's correspondent Girish Gupta noted that it was a change of tune from what Chavez said in early October, while campaigning for his own re-election: "If I was from the US, I'd vote for Obama ... Obama is a good guy."UPDATE: 11/06/12 3:50 PM ET Irregularities reported in two key states and hard-hit New JerseyIrregularities have been reported in Ohio, New Jersey and Florida today, according to a round-up of reports by the Washington Post. In Florida, there were reports that automated phone calls erroneously said that polls were open until 7 p.m. Wednesday, rather than Tuesday.In Cleveland, Ohio, some voting machines were jamming and malfunctioning, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. That didn't help voters speed through the long lines that were also reported there.Some of the most widespread issues, however, were reported from the areas hit hardest by superstorm Sandy last week. In New Jersey, the e-mail and fax voting system that was implemented specifically to aid displaced voters didn't seem to be keeping up with demand, with voters who requested ballots via e-mail or fax saying they did not receive ballots back, according to NJ.com.UPDATE: 11/06/12 3:30 PM ET Long voting lines across US Thousands of Americans waited in line to vote today, with Florida reporting some of the longest lines, followed by Virginia, New Jersey, and New York.New York voters faced confusion at the polls, with officials shuttling voters to provisional polling booths, after the superstorm Sandy destroyed or flooded polling stations.GlobalPost spoke to Nathan Storey, co-founder of the app VoteScope, which helps voters find their polling stations.

The problem came to light after a video was posted by a user "centralpavoter," showing the machine changing a vote for President Barack Obama into one for Mitt Romney. The user posted an account of his experience under the video, saying that a volunteer at the voting station responded to his concerns with: "It's nothing to worry about, everything will be OK."

Here's how the AP counts those votes:UPDATE: 11/06/12 2:00 PM ET The Telegraph's US Election Night bingo (drinking?) game Must admit this is a stellar idea: The Telegraph has come up with a printable bingo board game incorporating media election-night catchphrases. Here's how it works: you're plunked in front of the TV, you hear one of the magic words, you beat everyone else playing to marking it first, and so forth, until you get bingo. (And then, perhaps, you have a drink.) The words The Telegraph selected, however, are a little odd. Was "Mormon" really necessary? If "Mormon," why not "God"? And is "vulture capitalist" used so frequently as all that? Guess there have to be a few relative obscurities. Try your hand at it here, or heck -- make one of your own.

UPDATE: 11/06/12 1:19 PM ET At Guantanamo, a grim election-watching audience Detainees at the US Guantanamo Bay detention center were told by Obama they'd no longer be sitting there at the end of his term, but there they are, watching another election, reported Al Jazeera today. Inmates have been provided with a live election feed, and some of them "had previously watched all three presidential debates," said Al Jazeera. The controversial Cuba-based US military detention center holds what are considered high-value detainees. Human rights activists say their arrest, treatment (particularly the use of waterboarding) and continued imprisonment on vague charges violates the law, but the US says they must remain under surveillance in order to safeguard national security. President Obama vowed to close the center within 100 days of taking office in 2008. UPDATE: 11/06/12 1:09 PM ET Howard Dean says voting irregularities could cost Obama Ohio Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean told MSNBC this morning that things are so close in Ohio that all it would take is voting "machines that aren't functioning right or other forms of harassment" and Obama would lose the state, according to the Huffington Post's election liveblog. He also said voters in Pennsylvania are being asked for their IDs, which is not legit. "A federal judge has enjoined them from doing that," he said, "but that's what's happening."

Three of those states — Colorado, Oregon and Washington — are weighing whether to make marijuana legal for recreational use, which would be a first for the country.Montana, Arkansas and Massachusetts initiatives would legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, which is already permitted in 17 states, Bloomberg reported.The measures are projected to pass in Montana, Massachusetts, Colorado and Washington and to fail in Oregon and Arkansas, according to the Guardian.Read more here.UPDATE: 1106/12 12:42 PM ET Peruvian Shamans and Paul McCartney call it for Obama A dozen self-described shamans in Peru have augured the election in Obama's favor, reports Canada.com. How even-handed their divining practices were, however, remains open to question: "[T]hey burned incense and rubbed a poster of Obama with flowers and the plant common rue, which is supposed to bring luck. Meanwhile, a poster of challenger Mitt Romney was assaulted with maracas and a sword as the shamans sang, whistled and danced in a circle for journalists, who came and went as the ceremony continued," according to Canada.com. Buzzfeed has a pretty killer series of photos on the affair. Meanwhile, over in London, Paul McCartney's made a special US election video that's gone viral on Twitter (retweeted 2,611 times as of this writing), watch it here: UPDATE: 11/06/12 12:22 PM ET Voters on watch as reports of election irregularities start rolling in Have you seen something amiss at a polling station?

UPDATE: 11/06/12 10:31 AM ET Welcome to the vote, West CoastPolls opened just minutes ago throughout the West Coast, with voters queuing up in California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, said Al Jazeera. But Californians aren't exactly jumping out of bed to run to the polls, said the Associated Press, citing a field poll saying the percentage of mail-in ballots there is expected to reach 51% in what would be the first time mail-ins would overtake in-person votes.Sunny state voters can't exactly blame their disinclination on the weather, particularly as many of their fellow voters on the Eastern seaboard, still reeling from storm Sandy, have to slog out to inconveniently-located polling booths in order to cast their votes. The study also said turnout is expected to be way lower -- as much as one million less than the number that voted in the last presidential election. What's up with that, California? UPDATE: 11/06/12 10:00 AM ET What's in a number?New York Times writer and reader of statistical tea leaves Nate Silver's popular FiveThirtyEight blog currently lists a 91.6 percent chance of reelection for President Barack Obama, with a +/- 14.2 percent margin of error.So, the win's in the bag for Obama, right? Actually, no, cautioned Silver, in a clarifying tweet:IMPORTANT: That we have Obama as a ~90% favorite does NOT mean we're predicting a landslide. We expect a close election. — Nate Silver (@fivethirtyeight) November 6, 2012What explains a close election when a candidate's chances are said to be nine to one? The fact that those odds still amount to a probability game. But as Salon points out, Silver predicted the 2008 election "nearly perfectly" — which gives him some clout this time around.UPDATE: 11/06/12 9:40 AM ET The 51st state?While continental US citizens are lined up at the polls, their focus set on selecting the next commander in chief and members of Congress, there's a different issue highlighted on the ballot in the US territory of Puerto Rico: statehood.Could 2012 be the year Puerto Rico petitions Congress to become the 51st state? If so, it would gain 9 electoral votes and be subject to federal income taxes — and end its "century-long colonial relationship with the United States," as Politic365 wrote. Since 1967, according to Reuters, Puerto Ricans have voted to retain the status of their island as a territory of the United States. But support has been dwindling over the years.Also on the ballot are the options of independence of becoming a "Freely Associated State," according to Deutsche Welle.UPDATE: 11/06/12 9:00 AM ET Voting day is over in these New Hampshire townsIn two tiny New Hampshire towns the presidential race is already over.In Dixville Notch, a village made up of 10 registered voters, each candidate received five votes — the first tie in Dixville Notch history, according to USA Today.In Hart's Location, Obama won with 23 votes, Romney received 9 and Libertarian Gary Johnson received 1 vote.

Coordinates | 10°24.64′N 77°15.6′E / 10.41067°N 77.2600°ECoordinates: 10°24.64′N 77°15.6′E / 10.41067°N 77.2600°E |
Opening date | 1957 |
Dam and spillways | |
Impounds | Amaravati River |
Reservoir | |
Creates | Amaravathi Reservoir |
Amaravathi Dam at Amaravathinagar, 25 km south on SH 17 from Udumalpet, is located in Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary in tirupur district, Tamil Nadu, India. The 9.31 km², 33.53 m deep[1] Amaravathi Reservoir was created by this steep dam. It was built primarily for irrigation and flood control and now also has 4 megawatts of electric generating capacity installed. It is notable for the significant population of Mugger Crocodiles living in its reservoir and catchment basin.
The dam was built in 1957 during Mr.K. Kamaraj's administration across the Amaravati River about 25 km upstream and south from Thirumoorthy Dam. Capacity of the dam has shrunk 25% from 4 tmcft to 3 tmcft due to siltation of the reservoir.[2] during 2003-04, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board proposed to install 4 MW electric generating capacity from the dam,[3] which is now in operation.
There is a well laid-out park where one may climb steep steps on the dam to have a picturesque view north of the plains below and south to the Anaimalai Hills and Palni Hills above.[4] Boating for tourists in the dam began on 14 January 2011.[5]

"Maintaining both an active physical lifestyle and an active mental lifestyle has been shown to have cognitive [mental] benefits that may include delaying or preventing Alzheimer's disease," Gandy said.
Rates of Alzheimer's, an age-related brain disorder, are expected to soar in the next 40 years because people are living longer, and the "baby boom" generation is entering old age.
While the study doesn't directly prove that the increased physical and mental activity together boosted brain function, the trial builds on earlier research linking the two, experts say.
Previous studies have shown that three 30-minute sessions several times a week of brisk walking or weight training has measurable benefits on thinking and memory, Gandy said. "It is now possible to reduce physical exercise to a prescription, just like a pill," he said.
It's not always as straightforward to prescribe mental activities given that different people are drawn to different activities, but that needn't be a deterrent, he noted.
"The new study suggests that the engagement, per se, is probably more important in causing the protective effect, and that the nature of the particular engaging activity is less important," Gandy said.
Whether doing crossword puzzles, learning to play the piano or taking up a foreign language, find something you enjoy and do it regularly, he suggested.
"We have at hand right now the means to sustain cognitive function and delay Alzheimer's by adopting a routine of physical and mental activities available to everyone, everywhere, at no cost," Gandy said.
Because most of the study participants were highly educated, it's possible that the findings aren't applicable to all older adults, the authors acknowledged.

Clare Briggs (1875-1930) Golf: the book of a thousand chuckles: the famous golf cartoons Chicago: P.F. Volland & Co., c1916. [125] p.
Briggs' cartoons provide a social history of the middle-class during turn of the century America. He used everyday events and topics to make fun of basic human weaknesses and foibles. He created various popular comic series, and always subjected his drawings to the ideas behind them.
Otho Cushing (1871-1942) Teddyssey New York: Life Publishing Company, 1907. [31] p.
Using Homer's Odyssey as a framework, Cushing retold the story of President Roosevelt's life and presidency in "The Teddyssey". Making Roosevelt the hero of this story, Cushing shows him living up to his image as a reformer by refusing to be influenced by American industrialists and exposing corruption in the U.S. Government.
Harry Conway (Bud) Fisher (1884-1954) Mutt and Jeff Cartoons: Book Two Boston: Ball Publishing Company, 1911. 64 p.
"Mutt and Jeff", originally title "A. Mutt", is considered to be the first successful comic strip. First published in the San Francisco "Chronicle" on November 16, 1907, the early strip's only character was Mutt and his purpose was to give tips on horse races. As the strip developed, other characters were added and the topics expanded beyond gambling. It was as an added character that Jeff first entered the picture in 1908.
Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) Drawings New York: R.H. Russell & Son, 1894. 88 p.
Gibson is best known for his creation, the 'Gibson Girl', which first appeared in this book, "Drawings." His drawings of American high society fulfilled the need for American's to have their own aristocracy. Many of his cartoons focus on young, well-bred, women seeking mates appropriate to their social status.
William Hogarth (1697-1764) Genuine Graphic Works of William Hogarth: Consisting of 160 Engravings Faithfully Copied from the Originals London: Tegg, 1813. 160 leaves
Hogarth's "A Harlot's Progress" was seminal in the development of the modern cartoon and caricature. This series of prints is a cautionary tale of the corruption of a country girl upon her arrival in the city, and highlights the terrible price she pays. This was Hogarth's first financial success, despite the widespread pirating of these images. The importance of "A Harlot's Progress" is twofold. First, Hogarth's plea to Parliament to protect the rights of artists to their own works led to the development of the forerunner of modern British copyright law. Second, the popularity of telling a story through a series of images encouraged Hogarth to create more print series, and these became the forerunner of the modern comic strip.
Edward Windsor Kemble (1861-1933) Billy Goat and Other Comicalities New York: Charles Scribner Sons, 1898. 106 p.
While Kemble is best remembered for his specialty, cartoons of African Americans, he also illustrated many books and had a wider range of topics. While he did not refrain from using every thematic convention to its fullest, many of his cartoons were sensitively drawn and never grossly exaggerated.
Joseph Ferdinand Keppler (1838-1894) Selection of Cartoons from Puck by Joseph Keppler New York: Keppler & Schwarzmann, 1893. 226 p.
Keppler, Nast's chief cartoon rival, was a preeminent American political satirist. He successfully combined his knowledge of the German caricature tradition with both skillful drawing and satire. His works are often large, contain many figures, and illustrate a parable. He is credited with contributing many political symbols in the course of his work, including the whiskers on Uncle Sam.
Frederick Burr Opper (1857-1937) Our Antediluvian Ancestors London: C. Arthur Pearson Ltd., 1903. 1 v.
Opper's work included both political and topical cartoons. In "Our Antediluvian Ancestors," Opper uses prehistoric man as a foil to illustrate the timelessness of many of mankind's foibles and character traits.
Albert Paine (1861-1937) Th. Nast: his period and his pictures New York: MacMillan, 1904. 583 p.
Nast, perhaps the best known political cartoonist in American history, became renown for his cartoons attacking the corruption of the 'Tweed Ring' in New York City's government. His cartoons were at their best when Nast was on a crusade, rather than when he was in support of an idea. Never the less, Nast contributed many lasting symbols to the American imagery repertoire, including Santa Claus, the Democratic Donkey, and the Republican Elephant.
William Rogers (1854-1931) America's black and white book: one hundred pictured reasons why we are at war New York: Cupples & Leon company, c1917. 100 leaves
Rogers had a distinguished half-century career during which his cartoons were constantly sought, published, and reprinted. "America's Black and White Book" is his most notable collection of cartoons. This book contains his strident propaganda efforts to persuade America to get involved in World War I.
Arthur Henry (Art) Young (1866-1943) Hell Up to Date: the reckless journey of R. Palasco Drant, newspaper correspondent, through the infernal regions, as reported by himself Chicago: Schulte Publishing Company, c1893. 82 p.
Young had a life long fascination with Hell, mostly for the ability to use it as a comic device. "Hell" is a generic title for four of Young's comic contributions that spanned a 47 year period. "Hell Up to Date" is Young's first book on this topic. Interestingly, the title of the deluxe edition was softened to "Hades Up to Date".

Wow, glad to see you back!! Lots of changes I see, but good ones.
We stopped homeschooling our children 1.5 years ago after 8 beautiful years ...I loved it!! A new Catholic high school opened up and it was time for our girls to fly...I struggled, OH!! I struggled with this along with missing them every day!! Anyway, both are honor students, well respected, and are blossoming.
As for the Orthodox Church, how exciting!! My knight and I enjoy the Greek festivals in Houston, TX when we lived there. Once I took a tour of their church and watched a video on Iconology. Love the culture, reverence, and community.
