• ; Analysis: Dems More Likely Than Republicans to Vote Early.

A Republican-sponsored state law designed to curb voter fraud by significantly limiting the number of days to vote early has a greater potential to hurt Democrats than Republicans, according to a Dayton Daily News analysis of voter patterns from the 2008 presidential election. The Daily News examined precinct-level voting results in five counties and found that Democratic voters were much more likely than Republicans to come to boards of elections offices and vote early in the 2008 presidential election, especially in urban counties.

• Oldest Old: Reaching 90 More Likely Than Ever

Poor economy acts as birth control? U.S. births dip again ATLANTA -- The economy might well be the best form of birth control. U.S. births dropped for the third straight year -- especially for young mothers -- and experts think money worries are the reason. A federal report released Thursday showed declines in the birth rate for all races and most age groups. Teens and women in their early 20s had the most dramatic dip, to the lowest rates since record- keeping began in the 1940s. Also, the rate of cesarean sections stopped going up for the first time since 1996. Experts suspected the economy drove down birth rates in 2008 and 2009 as women put off having children. With the 2010 figures, suspicion has turned into certainty. U.S. births hit an all-time high in 2007, at more than 4.3 m...

• Moderate Growth More Likely Than Recession, Hoey Says

Moderate growth in the global economy is more likely than a double-dip recession, said Richard Hoey, chief economist for Bank of New York Mellon Corp. in a report Thursday. But a recession, especially in the United States and Europe, stands a "20 percent" change of returning, because of many factors: The "voluntary crisis" over the U.S. debt ceiling this summer; an "incoherent" fiscal policy that emerged from the last-minute vote in Congress; Standard & Poor's downgrade of the nation's debt to AA+ from AAA; a Greek debt rescue plan that could carry over to other sovereign debt crises; and other economic stresses,

• The Relationship Between Age and Undergraduate Student Attitudes About Hypothetical Marketing Moral Dilemmas

This study investigated the attitudinal responses of 305 undergraduate students with respect to nine hypothetical marketing moral dilemmas. Participants varied by age, gender, social class, race, religion, and country born in. It was found, as hypothesized, that older participants were more likely than younger ones to: 1) believe the ethically questionable action is wrong, 2) anticipate guilt if they considered doing the same thing, and 3) say they would not do it. Educators were encouraged to use this data to increase students' ethical sensitivity. Managers were invited to use the information to increase global competitiveness.
