One drink could be the standard for drunken driving – at least for some people, if the National Transporation Safety Board has its way. On Tuesday, the NTSB recommended states lower the blood-alcohol threshold for driving under the influence from .08 to .05. About 10,000 deaths a year are related to drunken driving. The NTSB says the lower limit would save 500 to 800 lives a year. Officials at the American Beverage Institute called the proposal "ludicrous." It said the average woman could reach the .05 percent limit by having one drink. What do you think? Is the proposal reasonable? Vote in our poll below, and leave a comment with your thoughts.

Families of fallen and law enforcement community gather in remembrance.
Forty-four. That's the number of New Hampshire police officers who have been killed on duty in New Hampshire. Friday morning, hundreds of their family members, friends and colleagues – past and present – gathered at New Hampshire Law Enforcement Memorial in Concord to pay tribute to their lives, and their sacrifice.

North Hampton wants to end inequities it feels exist between it and Stratham, as well as other problems.
North Hampton officials plan to fund an in-depth analysis of fire department costs to determine whether the Seacoast’s 50-year-old mutual aid program needs to be amended in order to eliminate what some believe is an inherent unfairness in the system. Selectmen spoke in depth on Friday with Fire Chief Dennis Cote and other local department heads involved in the mutual aid program to discuss concerns that North Hampton is responding to incidents in neighboring towns at a much higher rate than those towns are providing assistance to North Hampton.
