Fed&#8217;s Report On Foreclosure Prevention<\/a>: A look at what works&#8211;and what doesn&#8217;t&#8211;when state and city governments try to keep people in their homes.\u00a0 New Hampshire,

landscape.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Map: Where Lowe's Is Closing\" href=\"http:\/\/stateimpact.npr.org\/new-hampshire\/2011\/10\/18\/where-lowes-is-closing\/\" target=\"_blank\">Map: Where Lowe&#8217;s
