Power Consumption Tests
Using our new PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly known as to our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a 7,200RPM SATA-II single hard drive is used without CD ROM or many cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
It doesn't come as any surprise that the more graphics cards we add, the more power is needed. A Tri-SLI setup us tipping almost 700 Watt at load, while a SLI one is just over 500 Watt. The idle wattage also jumps up as we add another card into the mix.

Football: Housatonic fighting hard to keep season alive
DURHAM — It was a defining moment for Housatonic-Wamogo's senior captain Steven Kopcho, one that head coach Deron Bayer and fellow captain Kenny Weaver took special notice of.
On the final play of Saturday's junior varsity game with Coginchaug, Kopcho dragged most of the Blue Devil defenders with him for nearly a 10-yard gain.
"It was amazing to see Steven work like that," said Weaver. "We all are doing all we can to succeed, but sometimes, that's not good enough. But we are still trying. That's what I am most proud of."
"That says a lot about Steven Kopcho," added Bayer, seconds before the handshake line. "He never stopped moving his feet. His senior year is slipping away, but he hasn't stopped playing hard. Neither has any of the kids. I am so proud of them."
Coginchaug prevailed, 18-8, but there was a moral victory for the Mountaineers because their season is not lost, despite two varsity forfeits the past two weeks due to a major drop in numbers. Only 19 dressed for the game, another was sidelined with an injury and an additional five were out with an assortment of injuries and did not make the trip.
The slew of injuries prompted school officials to suspend the varsity season temporarily due to a lack of players. The status of this week's game with Windsor Locks will be decided today.
A week after canceling a game with Lewis Mills, football resumed. Bayer, along with assistants Doug Richardson and Mike Brenner, met the players before boarding the bus for the 90-minute trek to Durham.
"We are grateful," said Kopcho. "We are playing harder than ever before. We understand that playing a JV game is what's best for the team now. We're doing everything we can to finish the season strong."
Weaver said the goal is to play Gilbert-Northwestern on Thanksgiving in the annual Berkshiere Bowl.
"My job as a captain is to lead this team and to set a good example," said Weaver. "The younger guys are following us. What we all are learning is about dealing with adversity, which will help us later in life when we have to make harder decisions. Our coaches preach that to us day in and day out."
Sophomore Ted Perotti understands the reasons the program is in limbo, but still worries beyond 2013.
"If there was no football next year, I don't know what I would do," he said. "We have to find a way to keep the program going."
Perotti said the team is still show great camaraderie.
"Everyone is still showing up," he said. "Everyone is taking practice more seriously now. This is helping us with life decisions for the future. It's not the physical stuff that we are learning, but rather how to handle things. I don't like being sidelined now, but that's the way it is. I have to accept it and move on. I'm learning about life."
Perotti is treating this unfortunate saga as a bump in the road, not a dead end as is junior Chance O'Niel.
Besides Kopcho and Weaver, there are only four other active seniors on the roster — Tom Hatcher, Colin Bixler, Matt Orell and Rob Whipple. Senior Jeremy Stiewing sustained a season-ending injury in a preseason scrimmage, and the team wears a No. 13 decal on their helmet in his honor.
Bayer, in his 17th season as a coach and seventh as head coach, admits that he's dealing with an internal tug-of-war.
"I wouldn't wish this on my biggest rival or worst enemy," said Bayer. "This decision is killing me inside. I didn't want to do this, but as a head coach, I have to make decisions, and part of them is making sure that the underclassmen are ready for the varsity. I'm not going to put a kid in a game at a position that he is not ready to play. My job is to teach first, and this is my classroom."
Alex Velardi, a spectator at Saturday's game and a longtime North Haven assistant coach said Bayer is handling the situation well.
"Deron is a warrior; he's a former offensive lineman," Velardi said. "He wants the kids to play at the varsity level, but he is putting the kids' safety first and foremost. Don't look at the numbers and judge Deron. The school system needs to stand behind good men, because there aren't enough out there."

ALAMEDA -- The Raiders will leave a day early Thursday in hopes of finding their inner alarm clock.
A run of 13 consecutive losses in games played in the Eastern time zone was the impetus for coach Dennis Allen to move up the travel schedule in anticipation of Sunday's regular-season opener against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
"I wanted to do something to get our bodies right for the East Coast time," Allen said.
The last time the Raiders won in the East was Dec. 6, 2009, when Bruce Gradkowski threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter in a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Only five players from that team are still on the roster -- running back Darren McFadden, place-kicker Sebastian Janikowski, right tackle Khalif Barnes, safety Tyvon Branch and long-snapper Jon Condo.
Allen has been the coach for the last eight losses, and while he isn't sure if leaving a day early will actually help, it's worth a shot.
"In my mind, the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result," Allen said. "It's something different, it's trying something new. We're trying to find every little advantage we can to give us an opportunity to play well, and we'll see how it goes."
Instead of taking Tuesday off, the Raiders practiced so they could leave a day early. Their Friday practice will be in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The past two East Coast road losses have been at MetLife Stadium, 37-27 to the Jets last Dec. 8 and 24-20 to the New York Giants on Nov. 10. The Raiders opened the season in the Eastern time zone last season and fell 21-17 to Indianapolis in one of the better games they played all season.
Condo said he's noticed over the years that the Raiders often open sluggishly in the East but noted with candor, "It's happened sometimes on the West Coast in Oakland, too."
Safety Usama Young said west-to-east travel takes some adjustment.
"When you go from east to west it's almost like you gain some time and get some extra rest," Young said. "Going from west to east hits you real quick. It almost reminds you of when you were younger playing football in the morning. It's a different feel.
"The games I've had so far it's been tougher. Tougher to wake up in the morning. It feels a little odd. Hopefully this extra day will give us time to adjust."
About the only instructions players are given for East Coast trips are to hydrate. Condo said he avoids sleep on the team charter so he can get a full night's rest the night before the game.
An added bonus of the extra day is allowing the team a day of bonding. When Allen was an assistant coach in New Orleans, the Saints practiced in Indianapolis for a week before their season opener against Tampa Bay to avoid Hurricane Gustav, and he thought the experience improved team chemistry.
Barnes will go along with the program but wasn't interested in getting too deep in analysis of his team's difficulties in the East.
"I'm really not making any excuses," Barnes said. "Since I've been here we just haven't played well. It's going to be a mindset thing. ... Everybody in this league has to deal with something, whether it's East Coast teams coming to us, us going to them, playing in hot weather. There's a bunch of stuff people go through."
Least in the east
The Raiders have lost their last 13 games played in the Eastern time zone since a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 6, 2009. The results:
Dec. 8, 2013: Jets 37, Raiders 27
Nov. 10, 2013: Giants 24, Raiders 20

Dec. 23, 2012: Panthers 17, Raiders 6
Nov. 25, 2012: Bengals 34, Raiders 10
Nov. 11, 2012: Ravens 55, Raiders 10
Oct. 14, 2012: Falcons 23, Raiders 20

SANTA CLARA -- It's a twister that guarantees riders give up more than just a few timid whoo-hoo's. But the blood-curdling screams are being silenced as Great America's latest attraction -- the Gold Striker roller coaster -- was shut down this week after the shrieks got a few decibels too loud for its not-so-amused neighbors.
Now, the theme park is busy sound-proofing Northern California's fastest and tallest wooden coaster in time for the Fourth of July: They're building a new tunnel to muffle the sounds of the wheeled carts loaded with screaming banshees.
While thrill-seekers have been raving about the ride since it opened June 1, nearby businesses have not.
At issue, a noise-level agreement reached with neighboring Prudential Real Estate properties and a stomach-dropping turn that transforms the ride into a max-diaphragm-inducing screamfest. Park officials said it's a perfect storm, noise-wise -- the location of the turn, the sound of the coaster thrusting through the curves topped by the vocalizations ended up "causing the coaster to slightly exceed the allowable noise standards."
"I don't know if it's any noisier than other rides," said local amusement park blogger Kristopher Rowberry, who has ridden the Gold Striker 25 to 30 times. "But there are a lot of surprises that pop out at you. It's a very intense ride."
The coaster was shut down on Monday as Great America began building a second tunnel to baffle the sounds of too much fun. Even though plans are to reopen it Thursday, news of the closure spread fast in the roller coaster enthusiast community, which got an unwelcome scare.
"Everyone was panicking," said Rowberry, 29. "We had been waiting seven years for this ride, and the assumption was that it could be a long time before it reopened."
Rowberry said the Gold Striker is the park's premier attraction, and they feared any extended closure would derail a possible Great America comeback.
"Most people see this as a huge investment in the park, a start of a revival for a park that had been going downhill," Rowberry said.
"This didn't come out of left field," said Great America spokesman Roger Ross. "We slightly exceeded noise standards and are doing adjustments everyone agreed to. It's not like someone came by and said, 'Hey, shut that coaster down.' "
He said the new tunnel will curb the shrieks and won't take away from the experience.
Rowberry was reassured when he heard the news that it would be a brief closure, and agreed that a tunnel addition is a fine solution to the problem.
"There's a reason people put tunnels on roller coasters, and that's because they're awesome," he said. "This could make the Gold Striker even more awesome."
Prudential representatives could not be reached for comment Tuesday. The company previously reached a private settlement agreement with Great America after litigation was filed concerning noise levels at neighboring Prudential properties.
But Ross reiterated that they are working together, along with the city of Santa Clara, to make sure everyone's happy with the outcome -- including riders.
"I think the park has everybody's best interest in mind," said a satiated Rowberry. "Not just Prudential but fans of the coaster. We want a lasting attraction that will be around for a long time; if it's closed for a few days so it can be open for 90 years, that's a good thing."

Still trying to get the France24, BFM, and SkyTV mms streams going. Made some progress, though I'm not sure why.
As history, I had PS3MS streaming all of these great to my PS3 under Ubuntu Lucid, using the pmsencoder plugin. I don't remember which versions exactly.
Anyway, I updated Ubuntu to Precise P (mistake, by the way; don't like Unity), but I couldn't get the streams back. I was using ps3ms 1.6 at first, because 1.7 wasn't available on Ubuntu. It now is, so I installed it, but still no streams. I was using pmsencoder 1.6.2. In the debugging log, it appeared to be a problem with mencoder, which I've read is not longer supported for ps3ms.
So ... I figured that I'd get rid of pmsencoder completely and just do transcoding. I also changed the binaries to point at my /usr/bin files (ffmpeg, vlc, etc) instead of the ps3ms ones. Well, now, for whatever reason, I get a good BFM stream, a France24 stream with broken audio, and no Sky stream using vlc as the transcoding engine. That's progress, at least; I now have one of my three desired streams.
The thing is, if I read correctly, I thought that ffmpeg was supposed to replace the mencoder for these types of streams, but in my transcoder choices, I've got a red circle/cross next to that transcoder. Anyone know why that would be? ffmpeg is present on my host machine. If ffmpeg web video is supposed to be the new way to stream web videos (I believe that that was what was announced with the release of ps3ms 1.7), then maybe I can get France24 and Sky using that as a transcoder.

PHOENIX -- Look for Josh Donaldson to bat second for the A's to start the season.
It's where he finished the 2013 campaign -- 23 of his final 30 starts saw him in the No 2 hole for Oakland -- and he's prepared to go forward there again this season.
Donaldson drove in a team-best 93 runs last season, mostly batting third, fourth, fifth and sixth. He was in the lineup batting second against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, and that's likely to be where he fits in for Oakland to begin 2014.
He's flexible enough to fit most anywhere in the lineup, and if it means moving up in the order to give the club more right-handed punch near the top, so be it.
"I feel comfortable wherever Bob (Melvin) puts me," Donaldson said Thursday morning. "He put me there last year some toward the end of the season, and it seemed to work."
His first game batting second didn't come until Aug. 27, but the rest of the way he hit almost nowhere else. Donaldson, batting .291 at the time, hit .343 the rest of the way to get his final average to .301. The A's went 22-8 in Donaldson's final 30 starts, 23 of which were made when he was batting second.
That being said, Donaldson is scheduled to bat fourth in Friday's game against the Giants at Phoenix Muni. He's the biggest home run threat in a Friday lineup composed mostly of contact hitters.
Elmore said he sees "a little more opportunity" for him in Oakland. Even so, it's going to be tough for him to make the roster to start the season with A's infield depth.
The A's have 10 days to trade Parrino, release him or sign him to minor league deal.
"I threw a lot of fastballs, had some long at-bats," Johnson said. "I'll mix in secondary pitches as I go along. I felt good."
"My arm felt good, the ball felt good. Giving up the homers didn't feel good," he said.
Melvin said of Ryan Braun's homer off Milone, "a good low ball hitter" hit a pitch reasonably low.
"Superlatives all around," he said. "When I saw it on the replay, I couldn't believe it. That first one, I don't know you see that again."
Vida Blue, the former A's star visiting the camp Thursday, said it was "one of the best I've ever seen."

Man struck, killed along I-26
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 7:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 7:55 p.m.
A pair of eyeglasses laid crumpled, encircled by orange spray paint, on the side of I-26 Monday night as the N.C. Highway Patrol investigated the scene of a fatal collision.
A man was struck and killed along I-26 near the 57 mile marker around 6 p.m. Monday, according to Patrol Sgt. B.E. Hipp.
The man was identified as 22-year-old David Winter of Kansas, who was staying in Mill Spring, according to Trooper C. Sama. His vehicle was found on the side of the road about 500 yards away, it's doors locked.
Troopers say Winter was struck in the middle of the westbound lanes by a tractor trailer. A second driver clipped Winter after he was hit, Sama said.
An 18-wheeler was parked along the roadside. The strobe of emergency lights from first responders and two other unidentified vehicles lit up the scene.
Sama said he suspects the impact from the tractor trailer killed Winter instantly. Sama was not sure why the man was in the middle of the interstate.
No charges are expected. Sama said there was nothing the truck driver could have done to avoid hitting Winter.

FLAME Carries the Torch for Florida Massage Education
By Michael McGillicuddy, LMT, NCTMB
For some time, the Florida Board of Massage Therapy (FBMT) has been re-examining the current minimum educational requirements to become a licensed massage therapist in Florida. Many appointees on the board have expressed an interest in increasing the number of required educational hours for massage therapy schools; however, for the FBMT to enact an increase, a change in the Administrative Code or "rules" is necessary, and specific protocol must be followed, including publicly announcing "rulemaking" workshops, so hearings on the issue can be held around the state.In our case, a board member facilitated the workshops and invited other board members to share their views, and listen to the views of interested parties. The Florida State Massage Therapy Association (FSMTA) expressed its belief that increasing school hours was one way to improve the profession. The Florida Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association also supported an increase in the number of educational hours, as did some massage schools and practicing massage therapists.
At one of these workshops, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) presented its position on the issue. Currently, Florida public massage schools are required to teach 750-hour massage therapy programs. The FDOE has changed the number of school hours several times within the past few years from 850 hours to 500 hours to 750 hours. When asked why the hours had gone from 500 to 750 hours, the FDOE said it was because public school teachers "could not teach a massage therapy program in 500 hours."
Following the FDOE's presentation, the board instantly decided to increase the number of educational hours to 700 for board-approved schools. Unhappy with the way in which the decision was reached, the Florida Association of Massage Education (FLAME), a group of approximately 16 massage schools, challenged the entire rulemaking process. The FLAME group felt that:
Fortunately, FLAME's intervention resulted in a settlement agreement between FLAME and the FBMT with the following details:
All of the schools involved in FLAME share a real love for the massage therapy profession. They felt that if changes were going to be made to improve massage therapy education, the changes should be made based on good research and well-thought-out plans. This settlement agreement represents a desire on behalf of both parties to cooperate and do the best job possible of improving massage education in Florida.

Well, hello there! This is the one and only ZomgShaylex speaking.
Likes: Dramione, Ravenclaw, having philosophical conversations about nothing in particular, talking talking and more talking, reading really good books that make me a)cry or b)get a headache from thinking, feeling that rush of adrenaline when I perform a play, that feeling you get in your gut right after you have a good laugh, making things awkward, throwing popcorn, dancing around to anything and everything, singing along to every song I could possibly know, testing gravity
Dislikes: Drama (as in "cat fight"), ignorance, third-wheelin' it, bad hair days, homework
I'm going to start writing soon, I just have to get the creative juices flowing. Oh, and I have to have some time to do it. That would be helpful.

Ok, here's the truth. When I was writing my first book, "Stand-Up Comedy: The Book," (Random House) I'd sort of hit bottom. I'd quit doing comedy clubs, and I had a typing job for $10/hour. I sent the first three chapters of my book to 59 agents and I was rejected by ALL of them.
"Nobody wants to learn standup comedy..."
"You can't teach comedy in a book..."
"Why don't you write a how to book about something useful… like fly fishing?"

St. James City Council met Tuesday, Nov. 20 with Alderman Don Mackey away on vacation. The rest of the council members were quick into business and received a request from Jason Monnens, St. James fire chief, for funds to purchase from Newark Truck and Tractor a used 2004 Freightliner chassis at a cost of $48,500.
The chassis the fire department was looking to buy has about 150,000 miles on it and is in decent shape. All modifications necessary for the chassis to work with a St. James tanker were included in the price received from Neward Truck and Tractor.
A tank will have to be bough separately, and will cost about $110,000 or $125,000.
St. James City Council approved the request unanimously and the chassis will be available to be picked up by Dec. 1.
First Lutheran Church request a house located at 712 4th Ave. S which has been demolished and removed be exempt from the city ordinance dealing with the disconnection of the water service at the water main. Staff recommended that city council act on each request individually and indicate that the property owners of the house are responsible for any repairs for a water leak. With that understanding, the St. James City Council approved the request unanimously.
Another utility request was heard, this one from Kevin Thompson of Burnsville, Minn. Thompson's mother passed away Oct. 26, and Thompson had just recently got around to sorting through current bills. He was hoping to remove the penalty for late payment of a utility bill of $12.29 due to extenuating circumstances. St. James City Council agreed to approve the request unanimously.
A long standing contract between Lutheran Social Services and the city of St. James was up for renewal at the Nov. 20 meeting. The contract allows businesses like Meals on Wheels to use a city provided kitchen in exchange for a small rental fee. Pursuant the original contract, the rental fee increased five percent with the increase of utility costs this year. The motion to approve the annual renewal of the contract passed unanimously.
St. James City Council also received a request from the street and water department for the purchase of a new 2012 John Deere 410k backhoe which will be billed in Jan., 2013, but can be delivered in October. The plan for a new backhoe and budget was approved Sept. 1, and the amount budgeted for the project was $104,000. The state bid price came in significantly under budget at $81,118. With that in mind, the city council approved the request unanimously.
All consent items and minutes were approved in the meeting which went just over 18 minutes. A reminder to St. James public that December meetings will take place at the normal time of 7 p.m.

Propane AccessoriesChances are you use propane for a number of functions in your RV. You can plug it into a grill for cooking, use a propane-powered refrigerator, or use it to fuel patio heaters. No matter why you use propane, a few accessories make it easier to handle and enjoy.
Standard connection hoses are both short and hard to connect. Set yourself up with a quick connect hose that offers you extra length and you can leave your tank where it is and still hook up appliances which are a few feet away. Make sure to add a level indicator or gauge so you never run out of fuel at a critical moment. Keep a couple of spare caps in your drawers so you can cover the plug while traveling. A well maintained propane tank will last for years.

The Favourite

Cate Blanchett was in NYC last night to accept her Best Actress Award from the New York Film Critics Circle honouring her performance in Blue Jasmine. She is the current favourite and while the other races look pretty tight, most Oscar experts are still predicting she'll run away with it, even though she's done practically no campaigning.

Redford & Hamm
Didn't think you'd have a problem seeing photos of Jon Hamm every day in Europe. He's really been hustling out there.

Sundance, January, Howl, Ginsberg, the Beats, Kerouac, On the Road, I love it when a proper sentence isn't necessary. Full Story
The Unpopular GMD
There is a reason why the GMD and his Robobride have been hustling so hard on the MiniVan Majority. Because aside from a few famous friends who have ulterior motives themselves, Tom Cruise doesn't appear to have many fans in Hollywood.

As presidential, state, county and local candidates make their final push before Election Day Tuesday, the economy, unemployment, the weather and more weigh on the minds of voters-and campaigners.
With 72 campaigning hours lost because of the angry tear Hurricane Sandy made across the mid-Atlantic states, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney have seemingly gone into scramble mode to complete their final politicking.
Obama is scheduled to make campaign stops in Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Hampshire in the coming days.
Sharon Farnsworth of Marietta, who volunteers at the Democratic Campaign Headquarters in Marietta, has four long days ahead of her-as she helps Obama get out the vote in Washington County at door to door canvassing events over the weekend.
In the days leading to the election, Farnsworth estimated she'll volunteer "at least 48 hours, probably longer."
But that doesn't daunt Farnsworth's passion to see her candidate elected.
Fact Box
Paul Ryan's Visit
Coverage of Paul Ryan's visit to Marietta will be available Saturday afternoon at www.mariettatimes.com and in Monday's print edition of The Marietta Times.
At a glance
Early voting in Washington County
The Washington County Board of Elections reported its early voting numbers, as of 3:45 p.m. Friday:
9,376 requests to vote absentee or do early voting.
8,319 ballots received back.
Of the 9,376 requests to vote absentee:
3,960 voted in the courthouse office.
5,169 voted by mail.
91 were hand carried out of the office.
93 were done via nursing homes.
63 were sent electronically to military members in the U.S. or abroad and overseas voters).
Early voting hours at the Board of Elections
8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.
Paul Ryan's Visit
Coverage of Paul Ryan's visit to Marietta will be available Saturday afternoon at www.mariettatimes.com and in Monday's print edition of The Marietta Times.
"The excitement will build until Tuesday and then we'll be exhausted," she said.
Romney supporters also want their supporters to make their votes count.
"We're pushing every voter out there to vote," said Izzy Santa, Romney campaign spokeswoman. "We need to get our supporters to vote this weekend or Election Day."
A sprint to the election wire in Ohio is indicative of Ohio's importance as a battleground state, Santa added.
"Ohio is a microcosm of the nation. We need Ohio to vote for Romney and Ryan to make sure we win the White House," said Santa.
New Hampshire, Florida, Virginia, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado and Ohio are the locations for Romney's final pre-election campaign blitz.
Marietta is playing a role in the final electioneering, with Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan scheduled to take part in a rally at Marietta College's Dyson Baudo Recreation Center at 10 a.m. Saturday.
"It's a needed, terrific boost to the energy and morale of volunteers and voters alike," said Leslie Haas, chairwoman of the Washington County Republican Party.
The Republican Party sends presidential or vice presidential candidates to this area election after election, she added.
According to Haas, the party knows that southeastern Ohio is important to their election prospects.
"There's never been a Republican elected president without coming to the Ohio Valley," she said.
At the state level, incumbent U.S. Senator and Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown will campaign Saturday in Columbus, Newark and Mansfield.
"We haven't made final decisions on where he will be in the next three days," said Sadie Weiner, Brown's campaign press secretary.
Josh Mandel, Ohio State treasurer and candidate for U.S. Senate, is scheduled to attend Saturday's rally with Ryan.
He will travel to western Ohio later in the day to do a bus tour with House Speaker John Boehner to boost GOP turnout.
On Sunday, Mandel will attend Romney's rally at the I-X Center in Cleveland.
Mandel's schedule for Monday has not yet been set.
"He will probably visit small business owners and some victory centers to help get-out-the-vote efforts," said Travis Considine, Mandel's campaign communications director.
As their campaigns wind down, both Mandel and Brown are focused on the importance of jobs in Ohio.
"Josh's focus three days before the election is going to be the same focus that it has been for the past eight months-that is job creation by reforming the tax code, easing the regulatory burden on small businesses and manufacturers, and energy production here in Ohio," Considine said.
Brown also remains focused "on the same issues that he's been working on to this point, day in and day out, and that he will continue to work on after the election," said Weiner.
"It's protecting jobs and growing jobs in Ohio including manufacturing jobs, getting the House to pass his bill that gets tough on China for cheating on their currency and protecting Social Security and Medicare," she added.
Ohio Senator Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, is scrambling to make a final effort to reach out to voters.
"We're moving at a very fast pace, covering as much ground as we can between now and Tuesday," he said.
On Election Day, Gentile will be in Washington County.
Noting his record as an effective legislator, Gentile pointed to his success in amending an Ohio energy bill to "promote the use of Ohio's skilled workforce in the oil and gas industry," as well as promoting small Ohio businesses that provide goods and services for the industry.
"I'm also passionate and concerned about education," he added. "I want to see our part of Ohio get its fair share of school funding."
Gentile's opponent, Shane Thompson, could not be reached for comment Friday.
Over the weekend in Washington County, local candidates and teams of county Republican volunteers will be manning phone banks, shaking hands and knocking on doors, said Haas.
Washington County Democratic Party Chairwoman Molly Varner said candidates and volunteers this weekend will be making "quite a bit of get-out-the-vote effort in the county." As the party's faithful go door to door they will have a handout with the slate of Democratic candidates, she added.
"We hope we can make some impressions about the rest of the Democratic candidates with local government efforts," Varner said.
Early voting continues at the Washington County Courthouse through Monday.
As of 3:45 p.m. Friday, the Washington County Board of Elections had received 9,376 requests to vote absentee or do early voting, according to Tara Hupp, board director.
The board had received back 8,319 ballots, she added.
Of the 9,376 requests to vote absentee, 3,960 voted in the courthouse office, 5,169 voted by mail; 91 were hand carried out of the office; 93 were done via nursing homes; and 63 were sent electronically to military members in the U.S. or abroad and overseas voters, according to Hupp.
Courthouse voting hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday; 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday; and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.
Election Day weather looks promising locally. Tuesday forecast is for a high of 54, with partly cloudy skies and a 20 percent chance of precipitation.

PITTSBURG -- A Pittsburg business owner was arrested on conspiracy charges Friday after he hired an officer posing as a hit man to "disfigure" one of his former employees, police said.
Joseph Mosis, owner of plastic-cutting and aluminum-framing firm Monsam Enterprises, was arrested about 10 p.m. after he provided a series of "graphic details" about his desire to assault a former employee over a labor dispute, Pittsburg police Lt. Ron Raman said. Mosis, 52, was upset over a settlement the employee had received, and described looking for an "enforcer" to take care of him.
After learning of the man's intentions, police enlisted an undercover officer to pose as a hit man and meet up with Mosis to discuss a plan, Raman said. During the meeting, Mosis described the ways in which he wanted the employee's body disfigured, provided documents showing his intent and agreed on a price for the crime to be carried out.
Police arrested Mosis on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated mayhem after searching his home and business shortly after the meeting, Raman said. He remains in custody in lieu of $1.5 million bail.

The house of Molly and Steve Williams, the owners of Max's Miracle Ranch, and their eight children caught on fire on Thursday afternoon. The family was out of town in Vallejo when the fire burned the upstairs and gutted the inside of the home located northeast of Biggs in the 3400 block of Highway 99. The fire was reported by a passerby around 2:00 PM, according to Cal Fire spokesperson Mary Ann Aldrich, and three fire engines responded. No persons were located inside the house, but an elderly dog was rescued from the flames. The facilities of Max's Miracle Ranch were undamaged by the fire, which is currently under investigation. Firefighters were able to save a handful of photographs, the family's china set, and the family dog from the blaze. Max's Miracle Ranch provides a retreat for people who have seriously ill children and offers yearly public events such as Winter Wonderland. The Gridley Herald and Pizza RoundUp will be collecting clothing for the Williams family following the loss of their home. Pizza Roundup, at the corner of Highway 99 and B street in Biggs, will also be holding a fundraiser for the Williams family on April 16. A percentage of the proceeds from sales will go to the family, as well as the money raised through a silent auction that evening from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. Donations can be made to an account set up for the family at Butte Federal Credit Union in Biggs. Please refer to Molly Williams when making donations. Donations can also be made at the Chico and Oroville branches.

LiveFit designs workouts for fitness, self-confidence
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 8:56 p.m.
Fitness trainer April Livesay started LiveFit so that women can get physical through a boot-camp style workout while making positive lifestyle changes.
"As women we need to feel confident in who we are," Livesay said. "A great way to do that is take care of yourself and your body."
Livesay delved into the fitness industry in 2007 and now is ready to fulfill her passion by starting her own fitness business in Hendersonville.
"I am dedicated to helping women achieve not only a healthy body, but a healthy outlook on themselves," Livesay said.
She developed a six-week fitness program offered twice a week that includes an indoor/outdoor fit camp at 980 Upward Road. Livesay also offers personal training via the Internet and one-on-one sessions.
"The programs are specifically tailored for them and the exercises are handpicked to meet their goals," she said.
All three programs offer nutritional guidance as well.
"With any of these programs, you are sure to reach your goal," Livesay said.
