NH Flooding
Cheshire and Sullivan counties were inundated over the weekend with
nearly a foot of rain. From Keene to Alstead, swollen rivers burst
their banks and turned streets into lakes. About a dozen roads are
impassable. And those are just the roads maintained by the state.
Nearly 1,000 people were forced out of their homes and at least
3 people perished in the floodwaters. Assistant professor of geography
and state climatologist David Brown is their guest.

The Encyclopedia of New England
NHPR’s "The Exchange" features David Watters, professor
of English and director of the Center for New England Culture, and
Burt Feintuch, professor of folklore and English and director of
the Center for the Humanities, discussing The Encyclopedia of
New England. Contra music, covered bridges, clambakes and Cape
Cod... New England is the smallest region in size and population
yet one of the largest contributors of culture and history, and
two UNH professors took on the daunting task in compiling it all
into one large book. Today the Exchange will look at what makes
New England... New England.

Putting the Floods in Perspective
This weekend's rains caused lots of damage and displaced lots of
people throughout southwestern and central New Hampshire. NHPR's
"The Front Porch" will talk with State Climatologist David
Brown, assistant professor of geography, about how it all fits into
broader weather patterns, and how the state has dealt with destructive
storms throughout history.

The Granite Ceiling
When it comes to women-owned and operated businesses, New Hampshire
ranks near the bottom of the list in the United States. That’s
according to “The Granite Ceiling,” a report issued
this year by the New Hampshire Women's Policy Institute and authored
by Ross Gittell, James R. Carter Professor and professor of management.
Gittell and several women business leaders talk with host NHPTV
Outlook Beth Carroll about female-owned businesses and the struggle
to make it in the Granite State.

Project six miles off shore as they harvest their first crop of
Atlantic haddock from a deep water, experimental farm. Driven by
an interdisciplinary team of biologists and engineers, the project
explores the environmental soundness and technological feasibility
of farming finfish and shellfish in the Gulf of Maine. Chronicle
