CNN reports Democrat Brown has won Ohio's U.S. Senate seat.

Latvia's government led by Prime Minister Andris Kurbergs resigned en masse on the 3rd and will serve as a caretaker until a new cabinet is formed, the Latvian parliament's website said. The country's 15th parliament held its first session the same day; 100 newly elected MPs were sworn in and a new presidium was elected, and the outgoing cabinet submitted its resignation report. Under Latvian law the incumbent government is deemed resigned when a new parliament convenes and remains in office until a new government wins a parliamentary vote of confidence.
