WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell 23,000 to a seasonally adjusted 393,000 last week. It was the second straight drop after Superstorm Sandy had driven applications much higher earlier this month.
A Labor Department analyst said the storm had little effect on the data. Applications spiked to 451,000 three weeks ago after Sandy battered the East Coast, closing businesses in the Northeast and cutting off power to 8 million homes in 10 states.
People can claim unemployment benefits if their workplaces are forced to close and they aren't paid.
The four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure, rose to 405,250. That figure has been elevated by the storm. Before Sandy, applications fluctuated between 360,000 and 390,000 this year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Senate Democrat Harry Reid is offering budget talks to House Republicans if they allow the government to reopen.
Reid made the offer to House Speaker John Boehner in a letter Wednesday and in a phone call. Boehner dismissed the idea.
Reid, a Nevada Democrat, proposed that talks occur on a nonbinding measure known as a budget resolution that could serve as a template for follow-up legislation on the budget. Republicans are pressing for high-level negotiations on a normally routine temporary spending bill to keep the government running into November or December, seeking concessions on "Obamacare."
Democrats have been pressing for official negotiations on the budget resolution for some time, but Republicans have resisted, saying they won't give any ground on taxes.

Washington, DC – The Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR), a canonically approved organization of U.S. major superiors representing over 100 communities of women religious (http://www.cmswr.org/member_communities/membercommunities.html)responded today to the Catholic Health Association, Network, and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious who have directly opposed the US bishops' position on the health care bill currently before Congress.
The CMSWR statement declares the Senate health insurance bill unacceptable based on the legislation's expansion of abortion funding and its inadequate protection of health care workers' right of conscience.
Given the dire circumstances that passage of the Senate bill would bring upon our nation, Priests for Life is reprinting and circulating the CMMWR's important statement below.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Most of the University of Kentucky direct deposit payroll that didn't make it into bank accounts as scheduled Friday has now been posted.
The university says as of Monday afternoon, about 85 percent of employee pay had been posted, with the remainder expected to be posted by Monday night.
UK said last week that PNC Bank, which handles payroll posting, had an error that resulted in the problem.
Some financial institutions have offered to waive fees that resulted from the delay, and UK said it would reimburse employees for any overdraft, nonsufficient funds and late fees incurred. The university also provided a link to a letter from PNC for employees concerned about their credit scores.
The error affected about 16,000 full-time, part-time and temporary employees who are paid biweekly.

The Press-Telegram recently sat down for a lengthy interview with CIF-Southern Section commissioner Rob Wigod, a Long Beach native, to talk about all things high school sports. Today, in the first of our four-part series, we look at the local background of commissioner Wigod; Wednesday will focus on the subject of transfers in high school sports; Thursday on the digital transformation of the CIF-SS office and the rest of the high school sports landscape and Friday on the issue of public vs. private high schools.
Long Beach native Rob Wigod is two years into his tenure as the commissioner of the CIF Southern Section—and he hasn't forgotten his roots.
Wigod's office is lined with memorabilia, not just from the last two years or the 11 prior years he spent as an assistant commissioner with the CIF-SS office. There are items from the nearly two decades he spent coaching at Wilson, Lakewood and Los Alamitos, with photos and framed jerseys of his former athletes on the walls.
"I'll always consider myself a Long Beach guy," he said.
And rightfully so. Wigod was a second-generation Wilson Bruin. While he was at Long Beach State he began his coaching career at his alma mater. He went on to 14 years of coaching and teaching at Lakewood and another two at Los Alamitos before being hired by the CIF. He played for or coached with a long list of the city's finest coaches, from Skip Rowland to Spud O'Neil.
Wigod's presence is felt on the Moore League campuses he worked at. Lakewood baseball players probably don't think much of him, however, since O'Neil still makes them run "Wigods," a football conditioning drill his current Lancers aren't usually that fond of.
A much fonder memory was made there in 1994, when Wigod proposed to his wife, Kelly, on the Lakewood baseball field, in the middle of the first inning of a CIF playoff game.
"I told everyone at the school ahead of time, just to make sure I'd have to do it," Wigod remembered. "Back then we used Diamond baseballs, so I wrote on one of them, 'Kelly, will you marry me? Here's your Diamond.' "
Wigod first appealed to the Lancers' starting pitcher Luke Fitzpatrick, to make sure the top of the inning went smoothly.
"I said, 'Luke, I need your help, because if they score six runs here I'm going to look like a horse's ass,' " he said.
Fortunately, Fitzpatrick was on (striking out 15 that day) and Kelly said yes to a rousing round of applause. After their ceremony, they held their reception at the Queen Mary, the same location as Wigod's high school proms.
When Wigod was introduced two years ago as commissioner — in a press conference at Legends, no less — he was asked about a number of growing issues in high school sports. At the time, he said he thought the disparity between public and private schools was overblown, a position he still holds. He said it was important to him to keep "outside influences" from making high school sports more like the collegiate and professional levels, a notion that perhaps has been undercut by transfers and the growing world of club sports.
Many of the same issues facing his CIF office remain, but Wigod said he's happy with progress that's been made on many fronts. Not the least of those is the work his staff has done to aid in the digitalization of their formerly paperwork-heavy office; they've moved transfer forms and score reporting completely online. Wigod said he also was particularly proud of the job done by the CIF-SS in celebrating its 100th anniversary.
There's certainly no telling where things will be after the next two years; Wigod faces issues that weren't even looming on the horizon when his predecessor, Jim Staunton, took the reins in 2000. But no matter where high school sports is headed, at least in Southern California, local sports fans that one of their own is leading the way.

Metal full over full bunk beds are exceedingly durable and sturdy. On average, they also weigh significantly less than their wooden counterparts. The typical weight of a metal model is approximately 100 pounds, compared to an average of 200 pounds for a wooden model. The frames tend to be thinner than wooden beds but with no accompanying loss of supportive strength.
While it's true that most people prefer wood for its appearance, the metal models are not at all unattractive, particularly when a high-quality, matching bedding is used. In fact, many individuals prefer the cleanliness, sleekness and strength of metal over the bulkier wooden items.
Metal beds are often designed in a minimalistic style, without the various accoutrements often found in wooden furniture. However, they are equally functional in terms of storage when purchased with a trundle and/or drawers. Full on full metal bunk beds are as affordable – and often, less expensive, than their wooden cousins and are fantastic, elegant pieces of furniture that last for many years.

It was a decision that came following a recommendation from the board's Land Use Committee.
The Knockdown Center, a large art space and recreational facility at 52-29 Flushing Ave. in an old glass factory in industrial Maspeth, applied to the State Liquor Authority for a liquor license to serve over 600 patrons.
"I don't want another Greenpoint, I don't want another Williamsburg and I don't need another Bushwick," said Ridgewood resident Caitlin Shann said. "My neighbors, who have been in my building for 40 years, cannot afford to be driven out of our neighborhood."
Shann said she and her neighbors are worried the approval could spark a new trend in the neighborhood.
"It's about our livelihood," she said. "I don't want 5,000 people roaming into our neighborhood, I don't want 600 drunk people. We don't need it."
There has also been opposition from several board members.
"I think we've been very, very successful at limiting the number of establishments that are troublesome, that sell alcoholic beverages in Community Board 5," said CB5 district manager Gary Giordano. "We're very vigilant with regard to that."
While there is resistance to the center, some elected officials like Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley have been supportive of the proposal, given that the center continues to work with the community.
"As they look to expand into art and cultural events, we must make sure that they are good neighbors," Crowley said. "I am confident they will work with the community and bring jobs to the area."
According to Knockdown Center owner Tyler Myers, the center expects to provide upwards of 100 jobs after the first year it is fully opened. The space has been already been hosting events, applying for a one-time license to serve liquor for each one.
"This is a unique and massive space, and we think it's an opportunity to be able to show things that wouldn't be shown in the city," Myers said.

Music City History
Nashville's history began more than 200 years ago. Long before the first guitar picker ever moved into town, the settlement of Nashborough - named after Revolutionary War hero General Francis Nash - was being constructed as a fort on the west banks of the Cumberland River in 1779-80. Two groups of pioneer settlers, led by the founding fathers James Robertson and Colonel John Donelson, came by land and by water from Fort Patrick Henry in East Tennessee. James Robertson led a party of men on foot and horseback, arriving on Christmas Day 1779. John Donelson led a flotilla of approximately 30 flatboats, carrying the wives and children of the men who went with Robertson. Traveling a thousand miles and surviving many hazards including Indian attacks, the Donelson party arrived on April 24, 1780, reuniting some 60 families.
Col. Donelson's daughter Rachel would soon become the wife of Andrew Jackson, the nation's seventh president. Many things had changed within 10 years of settlement. Nashborough underwent a name change and became Nashville. The first school was chartered - Davidson Academy, which remains operational today. Andrew Jackson arrived in town to serve as the public prosecutor, and in 1788 Bob Renfroe opened the first tavern owned and operated by freed African Americans.
In 1796, Tennessee became the 16th state admitted to the Union. With the War of 1812, Tennessee earned its affectionate nickname of the "Volunteer State" by sending hundreds more soldiers to the war than was asked. And soon after, Nashville began to develop its own nicknames. In 1824, the music publishing industry took root with the publication of Western Harmony, a book of hymns and instructions for singing. Unbeknownst at the time, the book helped shape Nashville as "Music City" and the "Buckle of the Bible Belt."
Andrew Jackson was elected the seventh president in 1828. He built his plantation, The Hermitage, for his beloved wife Rachel. The home and acreage remain today - one of the few presidential homes with a majority of the original furnishings on display.
Naashville was named the permanent capital of Tennessee in 1843, and one year later another Tennessean was elected president - James K. Polk. The year 1845 ushered in the construction of the state capitol building, designed by William Strickland, and the death of Andrew Jackson. Polk died in 1849, only a few years after Jackson's death, and was buried with his wife on the grounds of the State Capitol. During the Civil War, African-American Nashvillians helped Union troops construct Fort Negley. The partially-restored fort remains today overlooking downtown and is open to the public.
Like many cities, the Civil War steered Nashville in a new direction - a direction looking toward the future and the education of its youth. In a span of 25 years following the war, four colleges were founded including Vanderbilt University as well as Fisk University and Meharry Medical College - colleges established for the higher education of African Americans. With the opening of these learning centers, Nashville developed a third prominent nickname, the "Athens of the South."
The last decade of the 19th century proved to be an explosive one for many industries. The Ryman Auditorium was constructed originally as the Union Gospel Tabernacle, and today it's rated as one of the top theaters in the country for performances. Joel Cheek developed the Maxwell House Coffee blend, still going strong 100 years later. Edward Barnard, a local astronomer, discovered the fifth moon of Jupiter. R.H. Boyd founded the National Baptist Publishing Board for the publications of religious materials relevant to the African-American experience. The publishing house is still run by his ancestors. The Tennessee Centennial Exposition was held in 1896 and The Parthenon was constructed in Centennial Park to honor the city's educational commitment as the "Athens of the South."
With the turn of the century came the city's first downtown skyscraper, the first African- American-owned bank - One Cent Savings Bank, the first movie theater, and the first Model T Ford in Nashville. Women's Suffrage campaigns and African-American streetcar boycotts took center stage while the world was preparing for its First World War. The Roaring Twenties opened up the doors to music, and with it came the first symphony orchestra and the first show of many for the Grand Ole Opry. The nation slowed down with the Great Depression and waited for relief with President Roosevelt's New Deal. In Nashville, the Parthenon was re-opened in its permanent form, and the construction of Cheekwood mansion was the city's largest employer.
The mid 1940s and early 1950s saw a new movement beginning in the music world. The Opry moved downtown to the Ryman and bestowed upon the Ryman its most affectionate nickname, the "Mother Church of Country Music." Music Row, located on 16th and 17th Avenues South, not far from downtown, began to take shape with the construction of recording studios and record labels. Castle Studio, Nashville's first recording studio, opened. Capitol Records became the first major company to locate its director of country music to Nashville. And the Country Music Association was founded. Soon the famous RCA Studio B opened its doors on Music Row and instantly became famous under the management of Chet Atkins. Here the "Nashville Sound" was crafted and performers like Elvis, the Everly Brothers, and Dolly Parton recorded their chart-topping hits.
The Opry said good-bye to the Ryman in 1974 when it moved to its new home on the Gaylord Opryland complex. It was then that the Ryman fell into misuse and dilapidation, and it wasn't until 1994 that the Ryman was restored to its grandeur. In 1996, Tennessee celebrated its Bicentennial, and a mall was constructed north of the capitol to mark the tremendous occasion.
In 1968, Dr. Thomas Frist formed a hospital management company in Nashville, Hospital Corporation of America, which is now the largest operator of healthcare facilities in the world. HCA's presence in Nashville is much of the reason that healthcare is the city's top industry and why it is often called "the Silicon Valley of the healthcare industry."
With the turn of the 21st century, downtown witnessed a new birth. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum relocated across from the Bridgestone Arena. The Frist Center for the Visual Arts opened its doors in the former Art Deco U.S. Post Office and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and the Nashville Public Library also added to downtown's charm. Sports fans were pleased when the Tennessee Titans (formerly the Houston Oilers) moved to town and made their home at LP Field, and the Nashville Predators NHL team moved into Bridgestone Arena. The addition of several mixed-use high rises created a boom in downtown living and shopping, bringing downtown to life.
In recent years, Nashville has seen a surge of growth in the technology industry. Tech companies and entrepreneurs are enticed by Nashville's creative culture and economic growth. In fact, Forbes named Nashville "One of the Top Ten Best Cities for Tech Jobs" in 2013. The music industry has also seen huge advancements in recent years with musicians of all genres creating music in Nashville, making Music City the highest concentration of musicians per capita than anywhere else in the world.
While Nashville will continue to advance and evolve, its rich history will continue to be appreciated, studied, honored, and enjoyed through the stories, buildings, and legacies it left for us.

2102 Belcourt Ave.
Nashville, TN 37212
(615) 846-3150
Opened in 1925 as the Hillsboro Theatre, the Belcourt originally operated as a silent movie house, boasting the most modern projection equipment and the largest stage in the city. As the community grew, the Belcourt adapted to the new needs of the neighborhood by providing a regular home for two highly successful performance groups in the 1930s: the Children's Theatre of Nashville (now the longest running children's theatre in the nation) and the venerable Grand Ole Opry. The Opry's tenure from 1934 to 1936 shaped the format the radio show still uses today. Because of the intimate size of the room, the Opry began playing early and late shows to accommodate the growing crowd and eventually had to relocate to a larger venue. Today, the Belcourt has returned to its original use as a movie theatre showing classic, unique, and challenging fare not previously available in Nashville.

Belle Meade Plantation, which includes a 150-year-old antebellum home, tells the history of the Old South from slavery to prosperity to the Civil War. As one of the few homes that can claim to have had a Civil War battle fought on the lawn, Belle Meade captures the essence of life during a tumultuous time. As a tragic reminder of those times, craters embedded in the columns of the front porch mark the explosion of cannon fire at the Harding family's home.
The Hardings gained notoriety when they constructed Belle Meade as a Thoroughbred nursery. Many famous horses were bred there or can trace their lineage to the farm. Iroquois, arguably the most famous horse bred on the property, is the only American horse to win the English Derby. Both Seabiscuit and War Admiral, as well as Kentucky Derby winners Funny Cide, Barbarro, and the legendary Secretariat also trace their lineage to Belle Meade.
1900 Belmont Blvd.
Nashville, TN 37212
(615) 460-5459
Home to one of the wealthiest women during the Civil War, Belmont Mansion is a vibrant memorial to the savvy Adelicia Acklen, whose life was filled with romance and tragedy. Determined to save her Mississippi cotton crop from being burned, Acklen conspired with the Union and Confederate armies, convincing both to help ship her cotton down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. Even though both armies eventually realized they had been duped, they were unable to stop the shipment of cotton before it sailed to England where Acklen turned a tidy profit of $960,000 in gold.

Nashville, TN 37243

Located in the shadow of the Capitol in downtown Nashville, Bicentennial Capitol Mall gives visitors a taste of Tennessee's history and natural wonders, and serves as a lasting monument to Tennessee's Bicentennial Celebration, which was June 1, 1996. With just a simple walk in the 19-acre park, visitors can experience many facets of Tennessee's history including a 200-foot granite map of the state, a World War II Memorial, a 95-Bell Carillon, a Pathway of History, and the Rivers of Tennessee Fountains. The 11 planters along the Walkway of Counties show native plant species from different regions of the state.

Just eight miles southwest of downtown Nashville stands Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art. Cresting the hillside of this 55-acre property is a 1932 Georgian mansion where Cheekwood's permanent art collection is housed, along with rotating traveling art exhibitions. Exhibits housed in the permanent collection include William Edmondson statues as well as American and contemporary pieces. A coffee bean farmer and investor in a fledgling technology company called IBM, the Cheek family patriarch amassed a fortune during the Great Depression and the family became the largest employer in Nashville at the time. Incorporating many European architecture designs, paintings, and furniture, the mansion remains today as it did 70 years ago. Next door to the mansion is a modernized paddock where revolving contemporary art exhibitions are displayed.
Surrounding the mansion are 11 brilliant gardens and a unique Sculpture Trail with artwork created by nationally- and internationally-recognized sculptors. The gardens, designed by renowned 1930s landscape architect Bryant Fleming, each represent and bloom for a majority of the seasons. The mile-long Sculpture Trail contains 14 different contemporary artistic designs immersed in natural surroundings.

Fort Negley was the largest and most important fortification built by Union troops occupying Nashville during the Civil War. Built in 1862 on St. Cloud Hill, the complex fort was designed with European features. Using a partial star-shape design, the unique layout of the fort allowed crossfire against the Confederate Army.
Intent on keeping control of Nashville because of its important transportation means with river and rail, the Union Army constructed the 180,000-square-foot fort covering four acres. Two thousand African- American workers, some slaves, and some free blacks, built the fort for the Union Army in preparation for the Battle of Nashville. Approximately 800 people died while building the fort. Many more African-American soldiers died during the Battle of Nashville as the Union Army would not supply weapons to the black soldiers; therefore, the soldiers and slaves were forced to protect themselves with shovels and picks.
The Fort Negley Visitor Center opened in 2007. Fort Negley is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Andrew Jackson built The Hermitage for his beloved wife, Rachel. Today, the antebellum plantation resides on almost 1,100 acres - all acreage belonging to Jackson 200 years ago. The home itself is a rare treat among presidential homes as over 95 percent of the furnishings are original to the home and to the Jackson family. Even the wallpaper in the grand foyer is authentic.
To the right of the home is Rachel's private garden, where an acre of trees and flowers still blooms. In the far corner of the garden lie the graves of the Jackson family. Rachel loved the garden so much that she asked to be buried there. And Jackson loved Rachel so much that he asked to be buried beside her in the family mausoleum. Additionally, there is one person buried in the garden that was not part of the Jackson family - Alfred, the house slave, who was born at The Hermitage. After emancipation, he chose to remain on the plantation as a tenant farmer and lived at The Hermitage longer than anyone else, white or black. When The Hermitage was opened to the public as a presidential home, Alfred was the first tour guide. When he died in 1901, his funeral was held in the center hall of the mansion, and he was buried in the family garden next to the president.
The grounds of The Hermitage contain replicas of slave cabins, a smokehouse, and the first Hermitage home, which is currently being reconstructed. Built in 1804, slaves lived in the two-story farmhouse for 40 years after the second Hermitage was completed. This five-year project is being funded through a $1 million restoration grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities under a new project called America's Historic Places. The Hermitage now offers tours by horse-drawn wagon. This unique tour takes visitors to the First Hermitage where Jackson lived from 1804 to 1821, to the site of the Cotton Gin and Press, to the Field Quarter, and to several archaeological sites associated with slavery and farming.
Located between Third and Fourth Ave. from Union to Church St.
Printer's Alley takes its name from its early connection with Nashville's printing and publishing industry. However, in the late 1800s it became part of what was known as "The Men's District." Many cafes, saloons, gambling halls, and speakeasies sprang up to cater to the men of Nashville's print shops.
The alley became the center of the city's nightlife with nightclubs opening in the 1940s. Musicians like Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, and Dottie West showcased their talent at the clubs that lined the small alley. Printer's Alley still comes alive at night with neon lights pointing the way to music and entertainment at places like Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar, Fiddle and Steel, and Lonnie's Western Room.

Affectionately called "the Home of a Thousand Hits," RCA Studio B is one of the oldest recording studios in town. Made famous when Elvis Presley recorded more than 250 hits there, the studio opened in 1957 and remained open until the day after Elvis died in 1977 (just a coincidence, by the way). Built by Dan Maddox in 1957, RCA Studio B became known as one of the cradles of the "Nashville Sound." A style characterized by background vocals and strings, the Nashville Sound revived the popularity of country music and helped establish Nashville as an international recording center. Bobby Bare, Floyd Cramer, Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, and the Everly Brothers among others have all recorded in this historic studio.
Tours of Historic RCA Studio B are available through the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum between 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum is the one and only museum in the world that honors the talented studio musicians who played on some of the greatest recordings of all time. The museum is divided into cities that have a rich history of recorded music such as Detroit, Nashville, Muscle Shoals, Los Angeles, Memphis, and Atlanta who all had musicians talented enough to play any music, regardless of style. These musicians had nicknames like The A-Team, The Memphis Boys, The Swampers, The Funk Brothers, and The Wrecking Crew. Some actually became hit bands themselves, such as Toto and The M.G.'s. The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum showcases the very instruments that some of history's greatest musicians used to record many of these classic hits. The museum will constantly add new exhibits for visitors to enjoy from all genres of music.
The museum gives a nod to its host city's musical past as well. Nashville is known as the center of country music but not many people know how many other styles of music have been recorded here in the past and now. Songs like "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas, "Heart Of Gold " by Neil Young, and "Lay Lady Lay" by Bob Dylan were recorded here in Music City, to name a few.

The Ryman Auditorium first opened its doors as a church in 1892 as a vision of Captain Thomas G. Ryman. With the coming of the Grand Ole Opry show in 1943, the Ryman found its identity as the "Mother Church of Country Music." In 1974, the Opry moved to its current home by the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center and left the Ryman vacant. It was not until 20 years later in 1994 that the Ryman was restored to be the national showplace that it is today. The Ryman has been named "Theater of the Year" by Pollstar four times in the last 10 years. Musicians ranging from Roy Acuff and James Brown to Patsy Cline and Sheryl Crow have performed on the Ryman stage, making it a historical as well as a current-day icon for people everywhere.

Nashville's oldest historic home, Travellers Rest Plantation, was built in 1799 by Judge John Overton, one of the founding fathers of Memphis. Originally, Travellers Rest was called Golgotha (literally translated to mean "the place of the skull") because Native American graves were found on the property. Today, lush magnolia trees and boxwood shrubs surround the plantation.
The 4,000-square-foot home was built in six different phases over a period of 50 years by Overton and his family. Called Travellers Rest because of the hospitality shown to travelers, many visitors stayed at the plantation including President Andrew Jackson. Longtime friends, Overton became Jackson's presidential campaign manager.

On November 30, 1864, the pivotal Battle of Franklin unfolded in the fields near Carnton, the stately home of John and Carrie McGavock. The 2005 best seller The Widow of the South was inspired by Carrie McGavock. In 1866, the McGavocks, concerned about the conditions of the Confederate dead who had been buried in shallow graves where they fell, designated nearly two acres of land near their family cemetery for the re-internment of nearly 1,500 Confederates. Today, the McGavock Confederate Cemetery is a lasting memorial honoring those fallen soldiers, and it is the largest privately-owned military cemetery in the nation. Guided tours of the plantation and its three-story mansion are available.

VERNON � The Vernon Yellow Jackets took control of the ball in the first quarter and never looked back, thrashing the Holmes County High School Blue Devils 51-7 Friday night in Vernon.
VERNON � The Vernon Yellow Jackets took control of the ball in the first quarter and never looked back, thrashing the Holmes County High School Blue Devils 51-7 Friday night in Vernon.
Holmes County drew first blood when the Blue Devils recovered a fumbled Vernon snap and Chad Leavins rushed for 53 yards on three plays to score the Blue Devils� only touchdown at the 9:07 mark in the opening quarter. John Etheridge�s kick was good for the extra point.
On their next possession, the Yellow Jackets drove 51 yards with Austin Brown rushing 26 yards on two carries for consecutive first downs, putting Vernon on the Holmes County 25-yard line. Then Darrius Peterson ran it in on a sweep to score, only to have the touchdown called back on a holding call.
Three Vernon TDs were voided due to flags for the evening, including a 90-yard kick return by Julian Silas � Vernon�s fouls kept the 51-7 drubbing even more lopsided.
Not to be deterred, Aaron Bowers scored on a 40-yard scamper from the reverse on the next play. Bowers also kicked the extra point to tie the score up 7-7 with 7:12 to play in the first quarter.
From that point on, it was all Vernon.
Three seconds into the second quarter, Darrius Peterson went up the middle from the 4-yard line to score for the Yellow Jackets, capping a 88-yard, 12-play drive. The extra point attempt was blocked but Vernon went up 13-7.
With 8:17 to play in the half, the Yellow Jackets found the end zone again, this time Alex Oneil scampered 31 yards for six points and quarterback Tristan Porter added the PAT, even though he dropped the ball en route to the goal line and had to scoop it back up before scoring.
Now with a 21-7 lead, the Yellow Jackets struck again when Brown picked off a Blue Devils pass inside the Vernon 30 and returned it 75 yards for a touchdown. Silas added the two point conversion this time, and Vernon had a 29-7 edge with 3:41 left to play in the half.
Oneil found paydirt again with 12 seconds left in the half, capping a 5-play drive that started on the Holmes County 40. Porter then connected with Oneil on a short screen pass for the PAT, giving the Yellow Jackets a 37-7 lead at the half.
Just 21 seconds into the third quarter, Vernon scored again when Silas ran 68 yards to paydirt. Bowers� kick was good and the score was 44-7 � and the mercy rule set the clock to running for the rest of the half and Vernon started playing the rest of the bench.
In the final seconds of the third quarter, Peterson added the final touchdown of the evening on a sweep from inside the Holmes County 10. Bowers� final kick of the night was good to seal the evening.
Vernon hosts Graceville next Friday, while Holmes County hosts South Walton for their Homecoming game. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

First Rate allows investment companies to outsource their business intelligence and to generate high quality reports based on that analysis. They operate in the financial industry, where the phrase "time is money" has very real implications. So when their middleware servers began to bog down, they acted quickly.
The Challenge
First Rate allows investment companies to outsource their business intelligence and generate high-quality reports based on that analysis. They operate in the financial industry, where the phrase "time is money" has very real implications. So when their middleware servers began to bog down, they acted quickly.
After-hour processing was taking far too long, extending into the morning hours. As clients began using the application, system performance worsened. As a provider of top-tier business intelligence, First Rate found this performance unacceptable to themselves and to their clients.
Steve Schneider, First Rate's network administrator, analyzed their system and found that their reporting server's primary problem was poor I/O. Evidence of this included a high disk queue, showing the processor was waiting on the hard disk, and a dismal processor utilization of 50%. Additionally, the system suffered from major disk thrashing in the morning, when the after-hours processing and the reporting application began competing for I/O, forcing the system to switch between operations.
Recognizing that they had to somehow improve processor utilization, Steve implemented a short-term but inadequate stopgap of a 1TB PE220s vault as he looked for a long-term solution. While a SAN might provide the necessary performance, such a solution was cost prohibitive. Alternate solutions that fit into their budget (such as software based RAM Disks utilizing the on-board RAM DIMMs) were unstable. After reading an article about SanDisk® Fusion ioMemoryTM solutions on an online hardware site, he was stunned at the performance gains other companies were experiencing and decided to give some Fusion ioMemory ioDrive® cards a try.
Steve Schneider,
Network Administrator, First Rate
The SanDisk® Solution
First Rate's middleware environment consisted of four front-end Information Builder WebFocus reporting servers and two Microsoft SQL database servers. The core investment analysis was performed on the front-end servers by the WebFocus application, so Steve decided to focus his efforts on improving the front-end server performance.
Knowing that the SanDisk solution was designed to improve application I/O, Steve decided to test moving the files that experienced the highest I/O onto ioDrive cards. These files were WebFocus's Edatemp files.
First Rate ran benchmark tests with the Edatemp files located on three different storage media:
Each test ran forty WebFocus agents against 46,000 accounts (all accounts flagged daily) on two months worth of data and generated 139 million Unit Value Returns (UVRs).
The Results
Just one ioDrive card on each reporting server (for a total of four) improved processor utilization four-fold, allowing First Rate to do three times the work in the same amount of time. It also allowed Steve to repurpose the vaults for more standard storage uses. The results of the test are shown below.
|Edatemp On
|CPU Utilization
|Time for Completion
|PE220s Vault
|4:22 hours
|2-drive SAS RAID
|4:30 hours
|80GB ioDrive cards
|1:30 hours
The ioDrive cards' performance allowed First Rate's after-hours processing to complete on time, their application to perform at top speeds, and most importantly, it allowed their clients to manage their investments without slowdown.
Steve had the following to say about the results, "We are thrilled with the way ioDrive cards allow us to offer our clients unparalleled performance. We expect a full return on our investment within six months." He is now planning to test Fusion ioMemory products on First Rate's databases.
Four reporting servers (1U each)
The Fusion ioMemory solution delivered the following benefits to First Rate.

Yup. See also: threading, sockets, unicode, etc. This is why we need to come up with a CLv2.
A de facto or community-driven standard composed of compatibility layers and perhaps some libraries would probably be a more realistic approach for now.

We would like to purchase a few hundred OLPC computers for donation to a School we have a sister School relationship with in an impoverished island community in the South Pacific. Our School in Australia sends yearly delegations to this School and we always take whole pallets of resources - books, teaching resources and, when possible, technology. It's a cultural exchange and also a helping hand to a community which can't afford their own technology. The OLPC would be a perfect fit.
We would like to get a couple of OLPCs here to Australia to demonstrate for our potential donors and and test/train the technology for those who will be visiting the overseas school to set them up.
Trouble is, I'm at an impasse. I'd be happy to use the give-one-get-one scheme to at least obtain one or two OLPCs here in Australia, but the Amazon link OLPC provide seems quite explicit in preventing shipment outside the US and UK.
Then, how would be be able to obtain a few hundred of them to take to overseas? I hear some are suggesting "we don't even want to talk to you if you are ordering less than 10,000". We believe the people to whom we are trying to setup with OLPCs are firmly in the OLPC's target demographic. No one seems able to clear up what the situation is, which is disappointing since we feel what we're trying to do is squarely within the reason the OLPC program was created for.
Is there any supply available to us in Australia for such a purpose? From whom would we buy them? Who should we contact in Australia to obtain them? Good publicity for our School and for the OLPC program would flow from such an arrangement. If anyone can help I'd be grateful.

Surrounded by the natural beauty for which the Arkansas River Valley is known, Lake Dardanelle is a sprawling 34,300-acre reservoir on the Arkansas River. These two water resources combined here have put this area into the national spotlight as a major bass fishing tournament site. Lake Dardanelle State Park offers two areas on the lake: one park site is at Russellville, and the other is located at nearby Dardanelle. Both the Russellville (main park) and Dardanelle locations offer camping (74 sites: Russellville--16 Class AAA, 13 Class AA, and 27 Class B; Dardanelle Area--18 Class B), launch ramps, standard pavilions, picnic sites, restrooms, and bathhouses with hot showers.
The Russellville site also features a 10,527-square-foot visitor center on the lakeshore overlooking Lake Dardanelle. Interpretive exhibits and state-of-the-art touch screen kiosks share information about the park, the area's water resources and its history. An aquatic exhibit in the center features six aquariums that hold fish from the lake and the Arkansas River and its tributaries Piney Creek and the Illinois Bayou.
Another unique facility in the (Russellville) main area is the park's 1,861-square-foot, fishing tournament weigh-in pavilion, a world-class facility and the first of its kind in the nation that serves as a staging area for tournaments. Near the weigh-in pavilion is a covered, barrier-free fishing pier, a popular facility for bank fishing enthusiasts, sightseers, and photographers because of its sweeping view of lake and 1,350-foot Mount Nebo to the south.
The main park also includes a trail. Rental kayaks are available here. And here in the main park area, visitors can enjoy nature programs on a wide variety of topics presented by park interpreters. These programs include guided lake tours by party barge or kayaks. NOTE: You do not have to be an overnight camping guest to enjoy the park's interpretive programs. Local residents, day visitors, and nearby Mount Nebo State Park visitors are all welcome.
Privately-owned marinas and boat docks are located in both the Russellville and Dardanelle areas.
To reach each area: 1) Russellville, Pope County Side--From I-40 (Exit 81) at Russellville, take Hwy. 7 south, then turn right on Hwy. 326 and travel four miles to the main park; OR, from west on I-40, take exit 78, go left on U.S. 64, stay in the right hand lane and turn right on Hwy. 326 to the park. 2) Dardanelle, Yell County Side--From the town of Dardanelle, take Ark. 22 west for 3.5 miles and turn right into the park.

Rep. Schiff Joins Colleagues in Introducing Assault Weapons Ban
Washington, DC –Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) joined with his colleagues led by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) as an original cosponsor of a renewed Assault Weapons Ban. This bill will specifically ban the sale, transfer, importation or manufacturing of over 100 specifically-named firearms and strengthens the 1994 law by moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test and eliminating the ten year sunset that allowed the original ban to expire. Further, the legislation will protect responsible hunters and gun owners by exempting hundreds of specifically-named weapons used for hunting and sporting purposes and grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment.
"Senator Feinstein led the charge almost twenty years ago to pass the Assault Weapons Ban, but it has since been allowed to expire. It is past time to put that law, which would have outlawed the type of gun used by the shooters at Aurora and Newtown, back in place," said Rep. Schiff. "Beyond the Assault Weapons Ban, we need to use a multifaceted approach, including universal background checks, making sure we keep better mental health records, banning high capacity ammunition clips, going after straw purchasers, and eliminating the gun industry's ability to act negligently with impunity. No one thinks that this fight is going to be easy, but who can be content to do nothing in the face of one awful tragedy after another."
Specifically, this legislation would accomplish several important steps in curbing future gun violence and tragedies:
- Ban the sale, transfer, importation or manufacturing of about 150 named firearms, plus certain rifles, handguns and shotguns fitted for detachable magazines and having at least one military characteristic;
- Strengthen the 1994 ban by moving from a two- to a one-characteristic test to determine what constitutes an assault weapon;
- Ban firearms with "thumbhole stocks" and "bullet buttons;"
- Ban the importation of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines; and
- Ban high-capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

The grassy bluffs of Mendocino County have attracted tens of thousands of tourists over the years because of their stunning views of the continent's edge.
Now, The Washington Post has reported that President Obama is poised to use his authority under the Antiquities Act to designate 1,600 acres along the California coast as off limits to development, along with nearly half a million acres in New Mexico. He should.
Designating the swath of California coast known as the Point Arena Stornetta Lands as a national monument is widely supported by the local community and ensures that the area, already under the protection of the Bureau of Land Management, is preserved for generations. It matters for all residents of California, where too much of our coastline isn't easily accessible.
The move would lure more tourism dollars to the area and expand the often overlooked California Coastal National Monument — essentially thousands of rock formations and islands off the coast, where, among other things, otters and seals bathe.
Former President Bill Clinton designated the formations a monument in 2000 under the 1906 Antiquities Act in an effort to protect the coastline from off-shore drilling that would interrupt marine life and create potential health risks.
Action by Obama would protect this stretch of seaside land from development.
So far, Congress has failed to do that.
Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Fort Bragg, last year introduced a bill that would have added the land area to the coastal monument, providing protection to the rugged coastal lands that are home to threatened and endangered species such as the California red-legged frog, Behren's silverspot butterfly and the Point Arena Mountain Beaver. It was an effort first begun by Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Napa, whose district formerly incorporated that area.
And while the legislation passed the House, the Senate has been slow to move on it. That brings us to the State of the Union. Obama said that he would use his authority to protect more of our country's pristine lands.
Designating this slice of the California coast part of a national monument is a sound way for him to make good on that promise and shield a slice of the Golden State's treasure for his children and ours.

Adding A Second Story To Your House
Room addition to your home is a viable option if you need to expand your home on a small land. At times it makes more sense to build upward instead of outward. There are various factors that you need to take into consideration when making decision about room addition to your house.
Get Permit from Local Authorities
Contact your local authorities and ensure that local zoning and building codes allow for second story additions. There are certain norms about how structures are built in certain areas. Therefore, it is important to get a clearance from local authorities.
Contact Architecture and Constructor
Contact an architect for a foundation inspection. The foundation and supporting walls must be able to handle the weight of a second story, even if it is a single or two rooms. The architect will give you advice on the feasibility of the project. You need to contact contractors to get an idea about the cost per squire for building a new floor. The contractor must be familiar with the codes where the home is located as well as being licensed in that jurisdiction.
Create a Design
After taking structural solidity into account, you can get an architectural plan created. Consult a plumber if you want to add a bathroom and an electrician for lighting. Adding the whole story is mainly influenced by your original floor design and house foundation. Once these professional consultations are complete you can begin real planning.
Calculate the Cost of Construction
With the plan in your hand, you can make an estimate of the total cost that might be involved in constructing a second floor to your home. This must include roof remodeling cost, putting in a new slab, flooring, plumbing, roofing, electrification and adding every other necessary amenity. The major deciding factor will be labor cost and of course cost of building materials. Make sure you keep variance of 15% to 25% for increase in costs, which might appear due to contingencies.
Actually, with the plan in hand, availability of funds, permits from local authorities and hiring of professional contractors, you are ready to start room addition construction. You can relocate your family to some place until the construction job finishes. Ensure you have a planned building schedule and see to it that construction run according to the plan. Remember, adding a second story building offers an enhanced feeling of ownership and pride in your home, so take the advantage.

For optimum conditions, you may consider using soap stones, they heat twice as fast and stores heat for longer periods of time.
Top Five Tips On Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling is all about knowing how to make your bathroom look beautiful and choosing products accordingly. It is also as much about right placement and alignment of products such as lighting fixtures and shower shelves.
Here are some top tips on Bathroom Remodeling.
Do not start before receiving everything you need to remodel
After placing orders for the products, you may need to wait for some products to arrive. Some products, especially the bigger ones such as the special order tile and the vanity top may take some time to arrive. Stay patient and do not start working on your bathroom until you receive every product you need. Do not do something that makes your bathroom unusable before the products arrive.
Consider all available product-buying options
Home centers not only sell limited stocks of tops and vanities but may also take a long time to deliver special orders. So, you may consider the local suppliers who specialize in natural stones and sell a wide variety of tops. If needed, the local suppliers can also cut the tops to fit them in unusual spaces or corners. And, tops from local suppliers are much cheaper than those from home centers.
You may also consider online purchase if you are comfortable with the idea of buying based on a few images and written descriptions. Tops and vanities available in online stores are real cheap.
Build one or more shower storages
Shower storages are not only useful but also look good. Shower storages contain such objects as shampoo, soap, razor and body wash. You can either have a ceramic tile shelve installed at the corner of the shower or have in-the-wall shelves. In fact, in-the-wall shelves look real attractive and aligned with elegant bathroom designs. Objects you have placed in the shelves do not stick out. So, you will accidentally not knock the objects off with your elbow.
Put accent tiles
Glass or mosaic tiles can be expensive but they can add a unique elegance to your bathroom. And you do not need a lot of these tiles for your bathroom — probably just about a dozen sheets. When you are done with your Bathroom Remodeling, you will know that your investment on tiles was worth it.
Use lighting to go with the new design
Right illumination can add to your bathroom's elegance. With a little investment, you can change the way your bathroom looks. Plan your lighting fixtures early so that you know whether you need to have new cables.

Reviewed by Hunter M. (age 11)
My favorite part is when Johnis sneaks the Horde ball all the way across the field and gets voted into the Forest Guard. I like this because the audience was surprised that a sixteen year old boy could sneak the ball. Also Johnis did that thing behind everyone's back and got away with it. That is very daring, and I like it. My favorite character is Thomas Hunter, because his last name is my first name. Also he loses his temper fast, like me. Thomas Hunter also leads a people against a great threat to his society, and I find that very inspiring.
I would recommend this book to ages 9 and up because there is some violence but the book is very action-packed, has adventure, and has a surprise at every corner.

Roger Brown's First and 10: Now let's decide who's No. 1By ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 17. 2012 11:23PM
What team should be ranked No. 1 in the final Union Leader/WGIR/WMUR Power Poll?
Let the debate rage on - and there is something to debate.
Even though top-ranked Exeter beat No. 2 Pinkerton Academy, 31-21, in Saturday's Division I championship game, it's not as simple as keeping the Blue Hawks in the top spot. Or at least it shouldn't be.
Voters should at least consider putting Winnacunnet No. 1. After all, both Exeter and Winnacunnet finished the season with an 11-1 record, and Winnacunnet beat Exeter, 27-24, when the teams met in Hampton earlier this season. Some would say the argument ends right there, and put the Warriors at the top of their ballot.
There's no doubt a strong case can be made for Winnacunnet, which entered the weekend ranked No. 3 and won the Division II title by beating Bedford 21-13 Saturday. Winnacunnet's lone loss came at Keene while Winnacunnet head coach Ron Auffant was serving a one-game suspension. The only thing working against the Warriors is this: They didn't play a Division I schedule.
Division I wasn't particularly deep this season - two Division I teams lost to Division III opponents - and you could argue that three of the state's top five teams reside in Division II (Bedford, Keene and Winnacunnet), but the feeling here is that Division I was still the better of the two divisions from top to bottom. In other words, Exeter played a tougher schedule that Winnacunnet.
Something voters should look at when considering each team's strength of schedule is the one common opponent Exeter and Winnacunnet played this season: Dover. Exeter routed Dover 42-7, but Winnacunnet needed overtime to pull out a 31-24 victory over the Green Wave. Dover also made life tough on Keene (21-20 loss) and Bedford (20-14 loss) - two Division II teams that qualified for the playoffs.
Exeter will be No. 1 on this voter's ballot because of its more difficult schedule and its overall body of work, which includes two victories over Pinkerton. That trumps Winnacunnet's three-point victory over Exeter on its home field. The complete ballot will look like this:
1. Exeter 2. Winnacunnet 3. Pinkerton 4. Bedford 5. Keene 6. Nashua South 7. Plymouth 8. Portsmouth 9. Souhegan 10. Bishop Guertin.
- - - - - - -
THIS YEAR'S six championship games were originally scheduled to be played at St. Anselm College on consecutive weekends, but that plan was put on hold for at least a year.
NHIAA football will shrink from six divisions to three next season, and Winnacunnet athletic director Carol Dozibrin, who is also the chair for the NHIAA football committee, said finding one site for each of the 2013 championship games is something the committee will work on during the offseason.
"The football committee is still interested in pursuing an option of holding the football playoffs next year at a neutral site," Dozibrin said. "That is something that is still on the table and something we will be working on."
- - - - - - -
THE THANKSGIVING menu kicks off Wednesday night at 6 p.m. when Salem will play at Lawrence, Mass. Thursday's games include Manchester Central against Trinity of Manchester at Gill Stadium (10:15 a.m.).
Thursday's schedule includes four other games that will start at 10 a.m.: Dover at Portsmouth, Souhegan at Merrimack, Nashua North at Nashua South and Somersworth at Spaulding.
The Souhegan/Merrimack game will be Mike Beliveau's final game on the Souhegan sideline. Beliveau announced his plans to step down after that game following Souhegan's loss to Goffstown in the Division III semifinals.
