Tomorrow the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments over the state's parental notification law.

Lawyers, activists and politicians will all discuss the merits of the law that requires a parent or guardian to be notified 48 hours before a girl under 18 can receive an abortion.

Once again, the UNH Wildcats are number one, but we're not talking about hockey.
We're talking football.
Last weekend UNH beat Maine and ended their regular season with a record of 10 wins to 1 loss.
They've taken the Atlantic 10 Conference Championship and have a place in the NCAA Tournament.

So as the final preparations for the holiday feast are made, New Hampshire Public Radio’s Rebecca Kaufman checked in with a few Granite Staters who immigrated to the U.S. She asked if they celebrate the very American holiday and found that Thanksgiving seems to have universal appeal. The visit starts at English class at the International Institute, a refugee re-settlement agency in Manchester.

Private equity groups have been in the news recently in New Hampshire.

So we called Professor Fred Kaen.

He teaches Finance at the University of New Hampshire's Whittemore School of Business and Economics.

It's been more than eight years in the making.

But after dozens of public meetings and thousands of pages of public comments, the State has a new management plan for the White Mountain National Forest.
