Governor Jeanne Shaheen faced a tough audience today in Boston. She met with Investment analysts who decide whether to buy state bonds. The uncertainty over education funding has made some investors question whether to lend the state money by buying its bonds. Although today's meeting was private,the Governor spoke with reporters by phone late this afternoon. She said they voiced concern over school funding, and had questions about the state's cash flow - if the school funding issue isn't resolved. So just how does the average citizen fit into the state's financial puzzle? |

Bob Preston/Hampton Beach Real Estate Agent "I don't think the price of fuel is a problem for us. We have so many people that are within a hundred miles from here you can come to Hampton or Seabrook Beach, park your car and spend the week. Most of our people stay for a while instead of just passing through." |

High above the streets of Manchester, there's a nest that's getting quite a bit of attention. That's because it's become home to some Peregrine falcon chicks. According to the Audobon Society of New Hampshire, it's the first time on record that peregrine falcons have hatched in a northern New England city. Peregrine falcons are on the state's endangered species list. The adult peregrine falcons nested in a specially designed box which was placed ten years ago on the 13th floor of the New Hampshire Tower at 17-50 Elm Street.

What good is the internet if you can't see your computer screen? Not much if you're visually impaired. Federal Agencies are under deadline to make their sites accessible by June 21st. That's when they have to provide users with an option for converting text to audio files. A Concord software company is doing some of the work. The Hiawatha Software Company is supporting several agencies, including the departments of defense and agriculture. The company's software identifies areas on Web sites that need to be updated and tell users how to fix them. It is estimated that even with state-of-the-art technology, visually impaired people can access only 20 to 40 percent of the Internet. |
