For months, newspapers have been awash with ways consumers can "return to the home" to protect themselves against the economic downturn - suggestions range from buying a pasta maker rather than going out for Italian, to entertaining the kids with board games rather than spending on family outings...

Ritchie has vowed to hold regular press conferences during the recount. "The whole world is watching to see if we're living up to our reputation as Minnesota - our brand," Ritchie says. "Accuracy is the only measurement by which we can determine who won this election." Ritchie does not expect the recount to be completed until at least Dec. 19. If the results...
