5 Things: N.H. Roads Could Have Higher Speed Limits

[Your Song of the Day]

1. Start your engines! N.H. lawmakers are putting forth three bills to increase speed limits in the state. Drivers could go as fast as 75 mph, and the idea is getting much support in the statehouse.

 2. Great news. For the first time in history, doctors have reported that they have cured a child with HIV. This case may not lead to a cure right away, but it is a good step forward.X

3. Surprising states. Officially, the United States of America comprises only 46 states. Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia designate themselves commonwealths.

4. Congrats! Katheryn Almeida of Amherst was named to the Dean's List of Emory College, the undergraduate, liberal arts college of Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., for the 2012 fall semester. Students must be in the top 20 percent of Emory College or have approximately a 3.85 grade point average or higher to be named to the Dean's List.

5. Weather Report: Today will be windy with partly cloudy skies early followed by a few rain or snow showers in the afternoon. Expect a high of 39 degrees. Cloudy skies come early before a partial clearing, and a low 28 degrees.
