Kierzek et al claim that we underestimated the role of community consultation in our article "Is Emergency Research Without Initial Consent Justified? The Consent Substitute Model."1 The primary focus of our article was a general systematic framework justifying emergency research without informed consent, of which community consultation is but one component. Our model acknowledges the desirability of involving citizens and communities in emergency research and specifically supports their involvement in determining if an experimental intervention conflicts with potential subjects' values and interests. Emergency researchers have confronted many practical difficulties when implementing community consultation. We therefore support the call by Kierzek et al for further research in this important area and believe that empirical findings will only serve to strengthen the Consent Substitute Model and its relevance to emergency research regulations.

Blighted property is a nuisance. So are Harahan's laws proscribing it, says City Councilwoman Cindy Murray.
Murray has drafted two proposals up for approval at Thursday's council meeting. They would clarify the definition of "nuisance" properties, lay out a swifter plan for city action and add a step to the process: staking a sign in front, to notify neighbors that City Hall is working on the issue.
"We just didn't think that law is strong enough," said Murray, who says she receives phone calls each week from neighbors concerned with rat-infested yards, caved-in roofs and broken windows. "This one had more teeth in it."
The current ordinance took effect in 1990, and defined its culprits broadly.
Murray's proposal lists features that can be checked off to show a building is out of compliance. For example, if a roof is not watertight, a window or door is broken or a structure is boarded longer for six months, the property could be defined as "unsafe."
The stricter definition will make it easier to present the city's case to a court and therefore take action more quickly, Regulatory Director Jeff Charlet said. But really, he hopes the new yard signs -- the major change from the previous ordinance -- will do his work for him by shaming the property owner into compliance.
"Ideally we would put the sign up, and the next day they'd cut the grass," he said. "Which is a possibility. This has the distinct possibility of getting compliance quicker."
Harahan is the latest local government to seek stricter blight regulations, in the years after Katrina pushed residents out of the area. Jefferson Parish officials have been pressing enforcement since soon after the 2005 storm and just last month sought to toughen oversight of abandoned property.
Among Harahan's concerns, Mayor Vinny Mosca said, is a spate of properties neglected since older residents died. "A lot of people are dying, leaving their property to the children who aren't taking care of it because they live somewhere else," he said.
Another challenge, Charlet said, is tracking down property owners who left after Katrina. Serving papers to an owner now living out of the state can be difficult, administratively. "It can be tough to drag somebody down," he said.
That will still be a challenge. But Charlet is hoping the new signs will make all the difference. "I always say that no one else can embarrass me but myself," Charlet said. "That's what I tell my children: 'No one can embarrass you but yourself.' It's not because somebody pointed it out that you should feel embarrassed about it; It's your behavior that causes your embarrassment."

Aviva to staff: expect death a little sooner...
As the UK insurance giant Aviva updated analysts on its financials yesterday, one saving that really caught the eye was a £1.3bn reduction in its pensions bill in just nine months. The sums include a reduction in its life expectancy predictions of around £300m - something Aviva's staff might find a little worrying...
Thankfully for all those hardworking employees, there is a something of a technical reason behind all this. Aviva Group just wanted to bring its life expectancy assumption into line with those used by the trustees of its main UK retirement fund.
David Rogers, chief financial officer, explains: "The trustees have made an assumption using longevity tables specific to the insurance sector and to our own workforce, whereas Aviva Group had not. So from 2010, Aviva Group is updating its assumption to bring it into line with the trustees'."
Previously, Aviva Group had assumed its UK staff were set to live to a grand old age. An average male Aviva worker currently aged 40 could expect to see his 92nd birthday, while the average woman of the same age would make it to nearly 94, according to the company's 2009 annual report. That was the last time it disclosed this level of detail.
The trustees don't disclose their life expectancy calculations, but we can assume they're a bit lower. "It may be that at Aviva Group we were a bit over-cautious," Rogers said.
This life expectancy tweak isn't the only reason Aviva has saved so much cash on its pensions, of course. But it does illustrate how tiny changes to inexact predictions can translate into differences of billions of pounds on company balance sheets. Aviva's scheme is worth over £8bn in total, making it one of the UK's biggest.
The decision to close it to existing staff in early 2010 shaved £270m off the liability, and there was also a one-off payment by the group to the scheme of £350m last year. Other changes saved smaller amounts too.
As for the future, the now-closed scheme is considering reducing its equity holdings even further, having already reduced them sharply in recent years. In 2007 it had more than half its money in the stock market, but by the end of 2009 that was down to just over a quarter.
The scheme, 85% of which is overseen by Aviva's fund management division Aviva Investors, has also put in a state-of-the-art liability-hedging strategy in consultation with pensions advisers Redington.

College Football Saturday.
It wasn't a game between No. 1 and No. 2.
This was a game between No. 12 and No. 19.
Nebraska vs. Penn State.
On television, it began with two people kneeling in prayer outside the home of Joe Paterno, former coach of the Nittany Lions.
Assistant coach Jay Paterno, son of the former coach, could be seen leaving home, on his way to the stadium.
Outside the stadium, on its way to being filled with 100,000 football fans, there were "Joe Knows Football'' and "We Love Joe'' shirts.
Outside and inside the stadium, there were groups in prayer.
Inside the pundit booth, there were discussions of the strong points of the teams, the Lions' defensive front, the Cornhuskers' offensive threats.
What set this Saturday apart from the usual football fare were clips of a couple of non-combatants, Jerry Sandusky and Mike McQueary.
There were clips of Sandusky, Joe Paterno's onetime defensive coordinator, being escorted into a police car, after charges of aggravated indecent assault, corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of a child.
And there were clips of assistant coach McQueary, whose eyewitness testimony of Sandusky sodomizing a boy in a shower in 2002 led to child sex-abuse charges against the former coach.
McQueary has been placed on indefinite administrative leave.
No, there has never been such a college football story, and it's a story still in its opening pages.
Joe Paterno, we're told, was informed by McQueary of Sandusky's alleged sexual acts in 2002, and Paterno reported it to the athletic director. But no one called the police to stop Sandusky's alleged activity.
On Saturday, without Joe Paterno on the sideline for the first time since 1966, Penn State fought its way back from a 17-0 deficit, only to fall, 17-14, in four quarters.
For Paterno now, it's only the first quarter.
Once the criminal case against Sandusky is dealt with, will he be the target of a civil lawsuit?
Stephen Rubino, a New Jersey lawyer who specializes in sexual abuse litigation, said Paterno could be named in a civil suit.
"He's got vulnerability,'' said Rubino. "He's the head coach. It was his locker room. It was his program and his assistant football coach. If Penn State was smart, it would spend whatever it takes to find the victims, settle with them, provide treatment and begin rebuilding the image of the university as a place where the safety of children was put above the football program.''
According to Rubino, the manner in which the university president (who was fired) went out of his way to support the athletic director and a senior vice-president (both charged with felony perjury) suggested "there are certainly elements of a cover-up or something like a conspiracy.''
Questions will abound.
In 1998, the Penn State police investigated a complaint about Sandusky. It was turned over to the district attorney who declined to prosecute.
Alison Kiss, executive director of Security on Campus, a national watchdog organization that has dealth with complaints of sexual assault against football players at big sports schools, was not surprised by Paterno's failure to take further action in the Sandusky matter.
"There exists a culture of entitlement for athletes or teams,'' she said. "I'm sure it's a culture that doesn't only exist at Penn State.''

Independent journalist Will Potter's work investigates how environmental whistleblowing is criminalized as domestic terrorism. Today, as Potter's TED2014 talk is released on TED.com, Potter is launching a Kickstarter campaign to take his research to the air. He plans to acquire a drone in order to document agricultural abuses in states that are currently debating laws that would make it illegal to photograph or film their operations – begging the question, "What are they trying to hide?" We asked Potter to tell us more.
Why do you need a drone to investigate factory farms?
Factory farms are doing everything they can to stop consumers from seeing the reality of most food is produced. And they've been quite blunt about their motivations: a wave of new legislation in the United States explicitly criminalizes anyone who photographs or films animal cruelty on farms. These "ag-gag" laws are a direct response to a series of damning investigations by animal welfare groups. In Idaho, for instance, the new law came after investigators exposed workers beating cows and sexually abusing the animals.
Satellite photographs have already revealed shocking environmental pollution at industrial agriculture sites— will a drone allow us to see even more? As a journalist, I think the best way to confront attempts at secrecy is to shine a light on the abuses. Corporations are trying to shoot the messenger, and shut down anyone who exposes what they're doing. But that just means we, as journalists, need to be more creative in our tactics. So for my next investigation, I am going to purchase a drone and photograph these farms from the sky.
What's the goal of this Kickstarter campaign? And why now?
I have launched this Kickstarter campaign to purchase the drone, and I will share the results of my investigation in both a short documentary and an e-book. This investigation couldn't come at a better time: multiple states (and countries) are considering ag-gag laws, while voters are considering efforts to eliminate some of the worst abuses on factory farms.
It's my hope that this investigation will allow us to have a more informed debate. What are factory farms trying to hide? Let's find out.

Judging by the first official trailer for the new episodes of The Hills, there's going to be plenty to talk about when the show returns to MTV on Sept. 29.
"She's the girl that's going to stab us all in the back and she doesn't care," Stephanie Pratt says about Kristin Cavallari's anticipated return. "How can one person turn all our lives upside down?"
Here's how: Lauren Conrad's Laguna Beach rival also dated Brody Jenner, so his Playboy Playmate girlfriend Jayde may need to watch out.
Although Audrina thinks she's moved on from Justin Bobby, she may not be ready to see him with another girl. And guess what -- Kristin also has her eye on Audrina's ex, who she met at Spencer and Heidi's wedding.
Speaking of ... It looks like Heidi has been bitten by the baby bug! In the trailer, she's hinting that she may be ready to start a family. Are you ready for a little Speidi offspring? Neither is Spencer, so rest easy -- for now!
Heidi and Spencer are also concerned about her sister Holly, who she says may need to head to rehab.
As the trailer wraps with dramatic clips of Kristin stirring up trouble with some fighting words -- and a kiss! -- the producers of The Hills have a final note about their new star: "The bitch is back." --Aaron Parsley
Tell us: Are you excited for the new episodes of The Hills?

Volcanic rocks are aphanitic, which is to say that they are composed of such fine grains of minerals — feldspar, quartz, biotite — that they are invisible to the naked eye yet texturally different than obsidian or other forms of volcanic glass that are non-crystalline. Similarly, the raw, mineral forms at the base of consciousness expend their agglutination in music, shapes that shift perception the way a paradigm shatters when a new theory changes prevailing notions. Our idea of what an atom is made from shifts over time just as how words — a phrase, a proof, a stanza — show the trace of a mind at work and in the process contribute a new way of looking or form of reasoning, a metaphor that uncoils in invention or connects two parallel lines of thought. If there's chaos underlying shimmering pattern, there are flying buttresses holding up the void, which spurts in plume and ash from volcanoes that are active on 17 places in the world as I write this, smelting and turning the sky incandescent with the earth's innards.
Say style is ontological. It's a mode of being in the world so intractable from the mind's syntactical manifestations that it possesses clear inevitability and shares in the sheer delight of mathematical proof. Literature while grounded in the sensory still verges to the purest form of abstraction, expressed more fully perhaps only by music and math. Walter Pater would have poetry be language that aspires to the condition of music and the poem arrives distilled, impacted with meanings that collide, othering itself just as it asks us to enter the speaker's voice to share the pulse of internal rhythm, narrative drive, a lyric suggesting, a certain mode of perceiving that's inseparable from the perception or from the use of repetition that accumulates

Your Take: Default on Underwater Mortgages?
|Email Print
There's an interesting article on the Consumerist two days ago discussing a paper written by law professor Brent T. White of the University of Arizona. The paper, "Underwater and Not Walking Away: Shame, Fear and the Social Management of the Housing Crisis," argues that more people should be strategically defaulting on their mortgages but don't because they feel guilty and because the consequences of foreclosure are overblown.
If a business finds itself in a bad loan, it can go bankrupt and restructure (Trump has done it about a billion times!), but people can't because people have feelings and a conscience. Obviously bankers hate this paper because they would prefer it anyone, individual or business, continues to pay on a loan regardless of the financial implications.
What do you think? Do you think it's OK to default if it's the financially correct choice?
Personally, I'm a little mixed. I think businesses should be held to the same standards as individuals, not the other way around, but that's simply not possible. So that leads us to our current scenario, which is whether it's OK for someone to strategically default and I think that's OK. If we think it's OK for the Trump empire to restructure its debts, why not let individuals?
I'm really curious to hear what you guys think about strategic defaults.

As Dallas' New Miss Ellie, Donna Reed Trades the Kitchen for a Home on the Range
At 63, Reed was eager to return to the professional fray. Her four children with second husband Tony Owen—the late producer of her series—were grown, she was 10 years into a serene third marriage to Grover Asmus, a retired Army colonel, and she was discovering that "emotionally, I needed to work." As this symbol of domestic tranquillity once admitted, "Doing nothing eventually makes you feel bad."
The cast she joined on location in Dallas last summer has weathered upheavals like those in the turgid storyline itself. Barbara Bel Geddes, 62, the Ewing matriarch since the show started in 1978, bowed out after last season because of health problems that arose from her 1982 heart surgery. The Lori-mar producers, who had bumped off papa Jock Ewing after actor Jim Davis' 1981 death, considered doing the same to Miss Ellie but realized that J.R. needed a maternal foil. After weathering rumors that Larry Hagman's mom, Mary Martin, 70, was being considered for the part, they combed the ranks of over-50 actresses. "When Donna Reed's name came up, everybody looked at each other and their eyes widened," Executive Producer Phil Capice remembers. "Someone said, 'I wonder what she's doing.' She came over with her agent and she was charming." At the time Reed was only a sometime watcher of Dallas.
A measure of hazing attended Donna's arrival. Howard Keel, 67, who plays the wealthy oilman who wed the widowed Miss Ellie last season, says that resident prankster Hagman had a few chortles at her expense. Although admitting that the cast can be "like a bunch of small boys" with their high jinks, the relentlessly tolerant Reed maintains that J.R. and his cohorts were "very welcoming and supportive." While Hagman says soberly, "I've always been an admirer of hers—she's an absolute delight," Keel observes that the crew sometimes deems Reed a bit of a prima Donna. She has expressed, for instance, very definite ideas about lighting and camera angles and being photographed to her specifications.
Donna finds her born-again career more enjoyable than when she was simultaneously raising a real-life family and bringing up a screen brood—an existence that she once termed "about as glamorous as working on a chain gang." Now, she says, "For the first time in my life, I'm doing it for myself. I had never worked without also having this enormous responsibility—running a house and making sure the children were doing their homework."
The Donna Reed Show came relatively late in a career that began in 1941, when the farm girl from Denison, Iowa appeared in an indifferent movie melodrama called The Get-Away. A campus queen at Los Angeles City College, Donna Mullenger had posed for publicity photos that were spotted by MGM, which signed her and changed her name to Adams, Drake and finally Reed. Five years of playing good girls in bad movies led to the key role of Jimmy Stewart's wife in the 1946 Frank Capra comedy classic, It's a Wonderful Life ("The most difficult film I ever did; no director ever demanded as much of me"). Despite the popularity of that film and her success as a wanton woman in 1953's From Here to Eternity (for which she won an Oscar), Reed's movie career gave way to the infant medium of the tube. "I was very old—33—when I won the Academy Award," she says. "So TV extended my career miraculously."
Divorced in 1945 after a two-year marriage to makeup man William Tuttle, Reed, then 24, wed 38-year-old Owen the same year. Together, they conceived a television series where "I could play me." The Donna Reed Show had tough competition (The Milton Berle Show and The Millionaire) and reviewers were often unkind. But she was a popular favorite. The press paired photos of her real family with publicity shots of the Stone clan (headed by Carl Betz, who died in 1978 at 56, it included Shelley Fabares, now 40, and Paul Petersen, now 38). Newspapers ran recipes for "Bundt cake à la Donna Reed."
When the series succumbed to a ratings slump in 1966, Donna was a millionaire. She was also exhausted. Tossing aside scripts that called for "helpless, passive ladies," she concentrated on the Bundt-cake front, devoting herself to her own teenagers and weathering a 1972 divorce from Owen (who died last May). She has acted just three times in five years—in two TV movies and in a Love Boat special aired last February.
America's favorite homemaker, who had been "very worried" about doing a series again, realizes the risks of stepping into a soap role created by another actress. "Fans will be sad to see that Barbara is no longer on the show," says the ever-politic Donna. "But if they have a choice between having a Miss Ellie and not having a Miss Ellie, I hope they'll be happy to see me."
She needn't fret. Shelley Fabares (who harbors fond memories of her TV mom) reports that on a recent jaunt to New Zealand, the natives were abuzz with the news from Southfork. Strangers who recognized her as the erstwhile Mary Stone, she says, plied her with the happy news. "Donna Reed," they reported excitedly, "is going to be the new Miss Ellie." Given the family feuds at Southfork, Reed's TV happy home may be a thing of the past.

Deb Love
Deb Love, William & Mary's University Counsel, received the November Toasted by Admission Award for her recent collaborative work with the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Love became the College's University Counsel in July 2011 but is no stranger to W&M after working having worked with W&M during the past six years in her position with the Office of the Attorney General. Her arrival at W&M also brought her career full circle as she began her professional life in higher education serving as an assistant director of residence life at another university.
Henry Broaddus, Associate Provost for Enrollment and Dean of Admission, nominated Love for this month's award. Broaddus told the admission staff how much vital help Love had lent to some recent thorny issues. He went on to note that thanks in large part to Love's efforts, the College was able to implement the use of the CSS Profile for the 2011-2012 admission cycle. The CSS Profile will greatly assist financial aid officers with additional information which in turn assists with overall enrollment efforts. Plus, Broaddus jokingly pointed out, "It's always good to keep the College's official legal counsel in [one's] corner."
To celebrate her award and her recent contributions to our office's efforts, the admission staff will treat Love to an after-work get togehter in early December. It will serve to bring Love's career

text: Rumor Mill: Seahawks Interested in Houshyermama Posted by on Jan 25, 2009 19:57 ShareTweetby: Chris Sullivan At least, according to Pro Football Weekly. They say that the rumors "have some merit" based on T.J. Houshmanzadeh's college days at Oregon State and a source saying that the Hawks are not willing to be reliant on unproven talent going into 2009–Obamanu, Payne, and Taylor are all mentioned. I'm still not totally sold on Housh fitting into the Seahawks' repertoire. While he is clearly an excellent receiver, seems like a good guy, and is content with sharing the stage with another reciever, I think the only way we see him brought in is if Ruskell decides that we are re-building that unit from the ground up. With Branch and Burleson both seeming like long-term holds (or at least, somewhat long-term), and the four young guys (Obo, Logan, Taylor and Kent), I have trouble believing that Housh will be in Blue and White next year, especially if we're looking to fill that hole in the draft. Also, something we've been saying here for a long time, Koren Robinson is a long shot to return next year. The main reason is his knee injury, according to the above source: "Not only does he have a bone-on-bone knee injury, but you just can't count on him anymore as a legitimate run-after-catch threat." Don't sweat it, Koren, you could still beat me in a footrace! ~END~ ShareTweetSeahawks Tickets About View all posts by →

MORRISTOWN — A Jefferson man who was considering retracting his guilty plea to robbing a bank in Mountain Lakes last year changed his mind and was sentenced today to five years in prison.
John Marano, 26, robbed the PNC Bank on the Boulevard in Mountain Lakes on July 17, 2009, but only got away with $100. Marano gave a note scrawled on a withdrawal slip demanding money and saying "no one would be hurt if the teller acted quickly."
Under a May 19 plea agreement, Marano pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery and faced five to 10 years in prison. His sentencing initially was set for July 9. It got adjourned after Marano said he was thinking of retracting his guilty plea because he believed it was unfair that he perhaps stood to receive the same sentence — 6 years in prison — that another man got last month for two bank robberies in Morristown last year that netted $10,000.
Superior Court Judge Thomas Manahan, sitting in Morristown, delayed the sentencing to give Marano time to think it over. Marano decided to stick with his guilty plea and was sentenced by Manahan to five years, with a minimum 85 percent of parole ineligibility.

Folic acid is used to make the extra blood your body needs during pregnancy. All women should consume 0.4 mg of folic acid a day.
When should I start taking folic acid?
You should start taking folic acid prior to getting pregnant, even if you are not trying to conceive. Neural tube defects usually develop very early in pregnancy (18-30 days after conception) often before a women even knows that she is pregnant. If you find you are pregnant and have not been taking folic acid, you may start now to help prevent any neural defects that would develop in the first three months of pregnancy.
What are the risks of not taking folic acid?
The absence of folic acid increases the possibility of a neural tube defect which are defects in the development of the spinal cord.
- Spina bifida is a condition in which the spinal cord is exposed. If the vertebrae (bones of the spinal column) surrounding the spinal cord do not close properly during the first 28 days after fertilization, the cord or spinal fluid bulge through, usually in the lower back.
- Anencephaly is a condition in which infants die shortly after birth because most of the brain is absent.
What foods contain folic acid?
Since more than half of pregnancies are unplanned, the Food and Drug Administration has taken steps to fortify food so that all women of childbearing age get a daily dose of folic acid. The following foods can help you obtain your recommended amount of folic acid:
- Leafy green vegetables such as a large spinach salad
- Citrus fruits, such as a tall glass of orange juice
- Beans
- Breads
- Cereals
- Rice
- Pastas
A daily vitamin with folic acid is also suggested since the food listed above may not contain enough of the supplement to meet the requirement.
How do I know if I am at risk for having a baby with neural defects and how can I prevent this from happening?
Women who are at the greatest risk are those that have had a previous pregnancy that involved a neural defect. Women who are not eating a balanced diet that includes folic acid are also at risk.
The best way to prevent neural defects is to take the recommended 0.4 mg of folic acid daily, for one month before conception and during the first three months. Multivitamins that include folic acid should only be used as a supplement. You cannot take too much folic acid, but you can over-dose on the other vitamins contained in multivitamin formulas.
How are neural tube defects diagnosed?
Neural tube defects are detected through an AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein test) a blood test administered at 16-18 weeks gestation. The test measures alpha-fetoprotein, a substance produced by the fetus and secreted into the amniotic fluid, eventually entering the mother's blood. The level of AFP in mother's blood peaks at about 30-32 weeks. Abnormally high amounts of AFP may indicate a baby has a neural tube defect.
What are other reasons for an elevated AFP?
An elevated AFP could mean the mother is carrying twins or that there is a problem with the placenta. Women with diabetes or liver disease may also have an elevated AFP. However, an elevated AFP could also mean there are birth defects in the fetus such as severe kidney disease, liver disease, esophageal or intestinal blockage, Down Syndrome, urinary obstruction, or osteogenesis imperfecta (fragility of the baby's bones)
If I have an elevated AFP, what other tests can I expect?
- A second AFP test
- An ultrasound
- Amniocentesis

Turnout was strong and emotions were high Tuesday as New Hampshire, a battleground state in the presidential race, also decided closely watched races for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House.
In Manchester, where officials expected turnout to exceed the 94 percent in the last presidential election, a worker stepped outside the Ward 2 polling place just before the 6 a.m. opening to see a line of about 100 stretching around a curve and into the parking lot.
"My God, look at the people," he said.
Machinist Nicholas Diaz, 44, who said the economy is his top issue, voted for Republicans, including Sen. John McCain for president.
"I'm pretty sure he realizes we can't continue on this route," he said of McCain.
Small-business owner Robert Tubbs, 52, chose Democrat Barack Obama, who would be the first black president.
"It's easily the proudest vote I ever made," he said.
"It's huge. It opens up this country for everyone."
In Durham, a long line of people, some of whom had waited hours for polls to open, cast 375 ballots in the first 40 minutes, more than usually are cast in the first hour of past presidential elections, town moderator Christopher Regan said.
Polls around the state were crowded at midday, and another surge was expected in the evening.
University of New Hampshire sophomore Kenlyne Exume, 19, said that as an African American she felt a sense of pride in voting for Obama but also trepidation.
"I'm nervous, she said. "If he doesn't win, it would seem to me and my brothers and sisters that America is not ready for a black president no matter how well-educated or intelligent the candidate is."
Joan Wolfe, 42, a Republican who is a wife and tutor on the side, came to the polls in Keene with strong feelings.
"My main issue today is to make votes that protect the lives of the unborn children. Until this country protects the rights of all children, things will continue to get worse," she said.
McCain, whose presidential hopes were resurrected in the 2000 and 2008 New Hampshire presidential primaries, was hoping that Tuesday would be a replay of this year's primary: an upset victory for him and a painful and unexpected defeat for Obama.
McCain sounded more like a lovesick teenager than a 72-year-old presidential candidate last month when he told a New Hampshire audience, "I love you. ... I'm asking you to come out one more time."
Obama, meanwhile, has been warning against overconfidence, citing his New Hampshire primary loss to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in January despite polls showing him with a solid lead.
"For those who are getting a little cocky, I've got two words for you: New Hampshire," he said last month.
Excitement over the presidential race somewhat overshadowed the state's other races, including the bitter rematch between Republican Sen. John Sununu and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen. Sununu portrays the former governor as a "taxing machine" in one ad; she portrays him as President Bush's equally-evil twin.
Six years ago, when Bush was still popular, Sununu defeated Shaheen by 4 percentage points. This time around, Shaheen had the twin advantages of Obama's coattails and demographic shifts that have boosted Democrats. A recent study by the University of New Hampshire estimated that about one-quarter of the electorate has changed since 2002, with both young voters and newcomers to the state more likely to identify themselves as Democrats.
Registered independent David Lamarre-Vincent, executive director of the New Hampshire Council of Churches, illustrated the closeness of the Senate race outside the polls in Concord Tuesday morning.
"It's a real close call for the Senate seat because in dealing with John Sununu in the last couple years, he has been accessible and a critical listener, and when he doesn't agree with you, he will just tell you in a non-hostile fashion. On the war, he's voted several times in the wrong way, but he'll still talk to you.
"I'll probably make this decision when I'm in the booth."
On the issues, Shaheen, 61, of Madbury, has pushed for making health care more accessible and affordable, ending the war in Iraq and promoting alternative energy. But she focused much of her energy on trying to link Sununu to the unpopular president.
Sununu, 44, of Waterville Valley, has cast himself as a leader on the housing crisis, the economy and the environment who has stood up to his party when necessary to protect taxpayers and civil liberties.
In the 1st Congressional District, first-term Democrat Shea-Porter was in a rematch with former Rep. Jeb Bradley, the Republican she defeated in 2006. The Iraq war was the top issue that year, and the nationwide wave of anti-Republican sentiment helped carry Shea-Porter's low-budget, grass-roots campaign to victory.
This year, the two have sparred over how to bolster the economy, fix the lending crisis and control federal budget deficits.
Bradley, 56, of Wolfeboro, has criticized Shea-Porter for voting to reverse Bush's tax cuts for upper income Americans and says any tax increase during tough economic times will further slow the economy. Shea-Porter, 55, of Rochester, favors cutting taxes for small businesses and the middle class, while eliminating tax breaks for big corporations.
In the 2nd Congressional District, first-term Democrat Paul Hodes faced political newcomer Jennifer Horn, a Republican who argued that smaller government and lower taxes are the key to economic health. Though she has worked in the health insurance and media industries, Horn, 44, of Nashua, said raising five children has provided her with all the experience she needs to understand the problems facing the nation.
Hodes, 57, of Concord, pointed to examples of how he has not only understood but solved some of those problems. He counts as his major achievements creating a commission to steer economic development and federal funding to northern New Hampshire, and Michelle's Law, which guarantees that sick college students won't lose their health insurance if they leave school to seek treatment.
In the quietest major race, both Democratic Gov. John Lynch and his Republican challenger, state Sen. Joe Kenney, pitched themselves as the best one to steer the state through tough economic times over the next two years.
Lynch, 55, of Hopkinton, points to his two terms as proof of his ability to manage state finances without an income or sales tax, and says the budget cuts he has made already show voters that he will make more as needed to keep the budget balanced.
Kenney, 48, of Wakefield, argues that Lynch has led the state on a spending spree that will transform frugal New Hampshire and force enactment of an income or sales tax. But voters either haven't heard Kenney's argument or aren't buying it: polls showed Lynch far ahead.
Libertarian candidates are on the ballot in all the top races, and independent Ralph Nader was on the presidential ballot.

The city of Longueuil will have a beach open to the public next year.
It's part of a plan to reclaim the waterfront that's been cut off from foot traffic for decades.
The city is using this week's Jeux du Quebec athletic competition as a kind of test run for the beach and is expected to welcome visitors next summer.
Jacques Tetrault of the city of Longueuil says some details, including the beach's exact location, entry fee and size, remain to be determined.
But there is a clear political and public desire to change how South Shore residents interact with the river.
"For two years now, we've been thinking about [creating a beach]," he says. "There is a strong will from the administration to make the shore of the St. Lawrence river available again."
Tetrault says a lot of work was needed to prepare the shore for human use, but he estimates the entire project will cost under a million dollars.

Welcome, to all ladies starting their IVF journey in October 2012!
Share your stories and hopes and fears, as there is somebody else out there going through the same thing and having the same questions. Lets all get through this together, especially if it's your first time like me.
My story: Male factor, slight female factor. Two failed IUI's. Been TTC for 2.5 years. Ready for the big guns now! My October cycle should start right about October 1st, which is actually my birthday! That will begin the almost 2 month long journey of our first (and hopefully last) IVF/ICSI cycle. We're hoping to get some extra embryos to freeze. I am most terrified of the dreaded "chemical pregnancy" that can come with IVF. The shots and appointments and everything else, I am ready for and excited about. Fingers crossed, for all of us.
Since I am a first timer to IVF, hearing other women's stories of their experiences at the same time as me will make me feel less alone! Best to us all

Ambulance staff will stage a 24-hour strike this Saturday in a dispute over working conditions.
Unite the Union members at Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust also voted to stage a walk out on Monday 3 February from 3pm until 7pm.
The strike action, sparked by a change which could see paramedics working 12-hour shifts, will affect residents in Bridlington and across Yorkshire.
Unite the Union regional officer Terry Cunliffe said: "Our members are taking action as they are very concerned about the scale of these changes and how they will impact on patient safety in Yorkshire.
"The shift patterns are not family friendly and will lead to an overtired workforce."
The union claim paramedics could be expected to work up to 10-hours without a meal break.
Ian Brandwood, executive director of People and Engagement at Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, said: "We are disappointed with the Unite the Union ballot result. There is no mandate for strike action with only 40% turnout from Unite members; only 150 people participated in the vote from our total workforce of over 4,600.
"Strike action is certainly not in the best interests of our patients and it reflects the thoughtless conduct of Unite.
"We would like to reassure members of the public that Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust is committed to minimising the level of disruption to its services during any periods of industrial action and we have robust contingency plans in place to ensure we continue to provide responsive, effective and safe services for our patients."

Clash of the Titans tomorrow evening.
Texans 8-2 @ Lions 8-2
Looking forward to this one. Won two regular season meetings last year and got trashed in the Superbowl. For the most part though, our games are always competitive.
With respect to Tennessee, I think you should change this to "Clash of the Really, Really Good Teams".

A European Private Law as a Mixed Legal System
Jan M. Smits
Maastricht University Faculty of Law - Maastricht European Private Law Institute (M-EPLI)
Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law, Vol. 5, pp. 328-340, 1998
In this article, it is defended that a European Private Law should not come about in some centralist unification process, but through competition of legal rules. In particular the role of the courts in doing so is emphasised. This alternative road towards a European private law is much more in line with the historical development of the ius commune than other proposed methods to reach uniformity.

Bit6 (http://www.bit6.com/), a communications-as-a-service platform provider that revolutionizes how developers integrate communications into their apps, today issued its latest beta release, adding features that include video messaging and real-time notifications for iOS and a new SDK for Web platforms. It also announced its selection to present at the Service Provider Innovation Forum (SPIF) of the Telecom Council of Silicon Valley.
"Now that we are close to our mid-summer launch date, we are moving at blazing speed to meet this unmet market need," said Alexey Goloshubin, CEO and CTO of Bit6.

By being selected to present, Bit6 will be considered for nomination to the 2014 SPIFFY Awards for outstanding telecom startups.
Bit6 provides developers access to a communications-as-a-service platform that takes all the complexities of building a communications stack from scratch and simplifies it down to several straightforward lines of code. Developers do not need any additional infrastructure, software, or licenses to utilize these services, which dynamically scale up or down as needed.
The Bit6 platform is a proven real-time cloud-based communications platform that already powers Voxofon's mobile and Web applications. Using the Bit6 platform, Voxofon developed capabilities that allow free app-to-app texts and calls across any iOS, Android, Windows or Blackberry device and enables inexpensive calling and SMS messaging to any phone number including feature phones and landlines. Each month, the platform supports millions of calls and messages across more than 200 countries.
This beta release continues what Bit6 expects to be regular releases that will increase functionality and add support for more platforms. Bit6 is targeting the full-production launch of its communications platform by mid-summer 2014.
