The number of local time zones in North America before railroads helped move us towards uniform time zones. Just one interesting tidbits from this week's SCOOP!

We cover:

• The origins of daylight savings time & standard time. The legislation that would change it permanently and the argument for and against it.*
• The origins of election day in November - and what to watch for on Tuesday.
• The latest on the economy - a lower than expected jobs report sparking mixed reviews.
• Congress has 20 days of official work before end of the year. Can they get the government funded?
• The military sends a submarine toward conflict and what to watch for this week as Israel closes in on Gaza City.
• Plus ~ Did you know Hamas has used North Korean weapons?
• And finally - we mark Veterans Day with the little known "Flying Tigers" of World War II.
