What People Say About Us…

“Who does New Hampshire want to have its back when the next hare-brained, get-rich-quick, cockeyed, scenery-trashing, money-grubbing scheme threatens New Hampshire’s greatest legacy---it landscape? Well, I’ll want the reporters and editors at InDepthNH.org---the only news medium that staffed the critical Northern Pass hearings, from beginning to end. InDepthNH.org---good, solid, statewide news coverage, the kind you can depend on, the way things used to be and the way they should.”
John Harrigan, writer
Colebrook

Gloria Norris
Filmmaker, author of KooKooland

  • Speaking of Words: Who’d a Thunk It?

    By Michael Ferber, Speaking of Words        People studying English as a second language—or its Germanic cousins such as German, Dutch, or Icelandic—must contend with a sizable list of irregular verbs.  Most verbs, and nearly all new verbs, are regular: they make their past tense by adding a dental consonant sound, usually spelled -ed but pronounced in three different ways, to their basic (infinitive) or present tense form: they walk—they walked, they cringe—they cringed, they bat—they batted.  That simple rule is easily learned and applied, but the other verbs are bewildering in their number and variety.        Most of the others are “strong verbs,” a term invented by Jacob Grimm, one of the famous Grimm brothers, for the very large number of them in German.  Strong verbs make the past tense and past participle by changing the vowel in the stem of the verb twice, as in fly/flew/flown and write/wrote/written, or once, as in freeze/froze/frozen and fall/fell/fallen.  The participle often ends in -n or -en.  (We call it the “past” participle, but it should be called the perfect participle, as it is not bound to a tense.)        There are a few hybrid verbs, where for example, the vowel may change but the ending is still the dental consonant: sleep/slept/slept, feel/felt/felt.  Or in a different mixture: swell/swelled/swollen.

Arnie Alpert HANOVER---Unionized undergraduate workers at Dartmouth College say they are prepared to go on strike if their demands for pay raises, protection of jobs from automation, and protection of their members from federal immigration agents are not met.  Negotiations between the union and management broke down earlier this month when College negotiators failed to show up for a planned May 1 bargaining session and instead told the union that the management would not budge from its most recent proposal, dated April 17.
