There are heightened security concerns at UNH --following Monday's disturbance in downtown Durham. When The Red Sox clinched the playoffs. students POURED onto Main street --and riot police responded.
Close to 600 students converged on Main Street -- yelling and cheering. It was a far cry from April's riot in downtown Durham following the defeat of the UNH hockey team --in which 87 people were arrested.
Monday, there was no violence toward police. --But -- It was an ILLEGAL gathering nonetheless and police were out in full force.
The latest disturbance comes on the heels of a student summit at UNH seeking to prevent such incidents.

Barring any legal challenges Schwarzenegger could be sworn-in by next month.

-NH--Episcopalians-Gays
Episcopal conservatives say they're serious about split
dewap
-- A conservative movement that could split the
Episcopal Church opened a national rally this week in Dallas with
prayers, singing and sobering messages about a break with liberals,
partly because of the election of New Hampshire's openly gay
bishop.
The meeting's goal is to shape plans for Episcopalians who
oppose their denomination's increasing acceptance of gay
relationships. At its national convention this summer, the church
confirmed the election Gene Robinson as the bishop of New Hampshire
and voted to recognize blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples.
Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh says the church has embraced
heresy.
Another speaker said members of the church are confused, hurt,
angry, concerned and grieved. l
