Return to index of stories... 		Good evening everyone. Welcome to the premiere edition of New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight's program with a summary of the news.
The big trial of State Supreme Court Justice David Brock began today. Justice Brock could lose his job and his pension if convicted by the Senate of all charges against him. We'll have a complete report on today's proceedings and a look at the people and history behind the trial in just a few minutes.
An aggressive insecticide spraying campaign is underway in Manchester. It's aimed at mosquitos that could be carrying the deadly West Nile Virus. The first dead crow infected with the disease was found in the area last week. Schools and playing fields are being targeted.
A new survey shows only 12-percent of elementary school teachers are men. But the State Commissioner of Education says she isn't going to start a recruiting campaign to change that. She says the focus is on recruiting and keeping teachers: male or female.
She was voted off the island during the ninth episode. But Jenna Lewis is still a New Hampshire
town's favorite survivor.
The 23-year-old star of the hit television show "Survivor" was celebrated by hundreds of people today in her hometown of Franklin. They declared it "Jenna Lewis Day."
And that's our summary of today's news. Now let's take a look at the weather around the state.

Return to index of stories... 		In our business segment tonight - a NH tradition. Today in Dublin publishers unveiled the latest edition of the New Hampshire's Old Farmer's Almanac. Now, it doesn't justpredict the weather. How about fashion, furniture and cars?
The trends section of this year's edition says sofas will get
smaller, pant suits will be back for women and mustaches will be
back for men. It says white and silver will be the hot colors for
cars.
The almanac also is full of little known facts. Did you know
more men claim to have been the sole survivor of Custer's Battle of
the Little Big Horn than actually took part in the battle?
Editor Jud Hale's favorite item is an article on how to change
your pants in the woods.
