Immigration activists: TRUST not enough Page 1 of 1 CONCORD, N.H. (AP) Keene State College students quickly cleaned up from a chaotic weekend on Sunday after violent parties near the city's annual pumpkin festival led to destruction, dozens of arrests and multiple injuries. The parties around the school coincided with the Keene Pumpkin Festival, at which the community tries to set a world record of the largest number of carved and lighted jack-o-lanterns in one place. The violence prompted police in riot gear to use tear gas as they tried to control the crowds. Sophomore Mallory Pearce , vice president of the student body, said she saw a car flipped over in a parking lot, another car being destroyed and people being pepper-sprayed. "It got way out of hand. Everyone I talked to said, 'I feel unsafe, I'm going home.' They didn't want to be part of the riot, and they couldn't do anything to solve it," she said. "I honestly did not feel safe." While Pearce was extremely disappointed in the violence, she said her faith was restored when about 200 volunteers showed up Sunday morning to clean up. "We all recognize that we made a mistake, and we're going to do better next year," she said. "We're not going to let this happen again." Gov. Maggie Hassan said in a statement Sunday night, "Like most New Hampshire citizens, I am outraged by the irresponsible, terrible actions that marred a New Hampshire tradition." She called on the state's colleges and universities to "take swift action to hold students involved accountable." A police department log shows officers responded to 235 calls between 2:30 a.m. Friday and 3:30 a.m. Sunday and made at least 49 arrests. Not all were part of the disturbances, but at least 14 on Saturday and early Sunday appeared related to the unruly behavior. Most involved disorderly conduct or alcohol-related offenses. WMUR-TV in Manchester showed video of a crowd overturning a car, people running from tear gas clouds, street signs being torn down and fires burning in the streets. Police also investigated reports of people throwing glass bottles and fireworks, jumping off a roof and banging on cars. One group of young people threatened to beat up an elderly man, and another resident heard someone "threatening to kill officers," according to the police log. About 20 injured people were taken to hospitals, Keene Fire Chief Mark Howard told New England Cable News . Student body president Bobby Graham said he was disgusted by the destruction he saw and believes most of the perpetrators were not Keene State students. "We are devoted to our community and very much engaged with our community," he said. Junior Brian Mazzola said most of the students in his apartment building decided to stay inside Saturday night after hearing about the brewing trouble. "We could hear the helicopters circling around telling people to go inside," he said. Eammon Flynn , who was among about 30 students visiting for the weekend from Castleton College in Vermont, said he didn't participate in any destruction but "went out and joined the mayhem." "The parties ended up being boring, and the riot ended up being wild," he said. "It was fun to be around." College President Anne Huot said in an emailed statement that the festival has been promoted by others "as a destination for destructive and raucous behavior" and the college had tried working with the city and campus to prevent unruly conduct. Officials are reviewing photos, videos, media coverage and social media postings to identify those responsible, Huot said, and the most serious offenders could be expelled. "We care deeply about the citizens of Keene and our students, and we lament the impact of inexcusable behaviors on our city," she said. Ruth Sterling , whose company manages the festival, said the violence did not spill over into what she called "a truly beautiful event." 4th Congressional District candidates debate spending, health care, wealth A 4th Congressional District debate Sunday afternoon was...

View gallery View gallery A gingersnap cookie-flavored spread out of the Netherlands, Cookie Notti Speculoos spread seduced ju An at-home beer brewing kit, seaweed spaghetti and solid vinegar flakes could be coming to a grocery store near you, after winning awards at a major food innovation competition in Paris, an international event billed as a launching pad for many of the popular food trends that end up on consumer plates around the world. Of the 1,757 products that were submitted for consideration, judges of the SIAL Innovation Awards in Paris seemed to be particularly drawn to the DIY concept this year, awarding an at-home beer brewing kit and two separate mushroom growing kits with innovation prizes. The Brooklyn Brew Shops beer-making kit from the US was lauded for its sophistication, composition and recipe. The 3 kg box contains everything needed to turn household kitchens and garages into mini distilleries, including grains, hops, yeast, thermometer, glass fermenting jug, tubing clamp, airlock, and screw-cap stopper. Both France and Portugal submitted award-winning mushroom growing kits, that received nods in the fruits and vegetable category for being ecological and consumer-friendly products. Seaweed spaghetti, packaged in a small tub of seawater, took the award in the seafood category in yet another sign that the edible sea vegetable is moving beyond the California roll and gaining traction as a healthy and gourmet food trend around the world. French company French Cooker also took home an award in the salted grocery category for solidifying vinegar, turning it into flakes, and jarring it with flavors like tomato, truffle, honey and raspberry. And a gingersnap cookie-flavored spread out of the Netherlands, Cookie Notti speculoos spread seduced judges in the category of sweet grocery product.

WHO faulted for Ebola failures as Obama taps czar - Yahoo News
(Vernon McKnight — Herald Correspondent) 4 CARMEL >> Kids, dogs, adults and mermaids mixed it up Sunday at the 54th annual Great Sandcastle Contest at Carmel Beach. As dolphins and boogie boarders frolicked in the surf, contestants hauled water and wielded shovels and other tools to create their best sand sculptures depicting this year's theme: "Commotion in the Ocean." Sponsored by the city of Carmel and the American Institute of Architects, the event saw rampant bribery of the seven judges by castle builders. Cookies, beer and carne asada tacos were among the goodies given to those whose would choose the winners. It was an architect who won the coveted Golden Shovel award, the contest's top prize. Joseph Alvernaz and his team from Livingston created a sand sculpture of a fisherman in a boat catching a huge octopus. It was titled, "Who Caught Who." Alvernaz, who graduated from the School of Architecture at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, admitted the team didn't have a building permit for their sculpture. But that didn't affect the judges' decision. The team, known as the San Joaquin Squid Casters, started their sculpture at about 7:30 a.m, working from a model and sketches Alvernaz turned out Friday night. It took them 5 1/2 hours to complete. Before the awards were presented, Alvernaz said: "I think we have a shot at (the Golden Shovel). A group from Carmel, called Splash, walked away with the Best Bribe award. They gave out bloody marys beside their sculpture of a shipwreck in a tide pool. "Those bloody marys were loaded," team member Mary Jane Johnson told the judges after receiving the award. One member of the group, a buxom lass who would only identify herself as Ariel (the name of the Little Mermaid from the movie of the same name), was dressed in a bikini top of seashells and a bright pink wig. A male member of Splash further identified her as Ariel: The Later Years. Ariel said she made the mermaid costume herself with "a lot of hot glue." The Best Traditional Sandcastle award went to the group that was handing out carne asada tacos to the judges. The group's sculpture was a large castle with a sea serpent swimming around it. It was appropriately titled "Sea Serpent." Scott Coming, Craig Coming, Jeremy Locke and Jeff Pomo made up the team. It was the group's first sandcastle competition. The Comings grew up in San Diego and learned from their dad how to made sandcastles. "When he died a couple of years ago," Craig Coming said, "we built a big sandcastle as a memorial." The group is involved in the brewing of Mad Otter Ale, which they describe as a hoppy pale ale. The Judge's Favorite award went to Cub Scout Pack 93 of Toro Park, a group of first- and second-graders. Their sculpture was a giant octopus titled "Commotion in the Ocean." The Cub Scouts posed for pictures in the arms of the octopus with their award. A sculpture of the ocean liner Titanic in sand and kelp by David Bindel of Carmel took the High Commotion plaque. Todd Weaver of Carmel won the Sour Grapes award for his work titled "Tsunami Rescue." It took him four hours to complete. He started carrying seawater to his building site at 7 a.m. The day started with bright sunshine. But by the time the judging was over, the fog had rolled in and it was a bit misty. "I like it this way," said one contestant. "It's better for the sandcastles." When the sun shines brightly, it's not unusual for the sculptures to start collapsing. Everyone who enters the contest takes home a plaque for participating. So the builders of turtles, sharks and little castles all went home winners. Dixie Dixon, one of the seven judges, summed up the event: "It's a great opportunity for families and there are some wonderful works here."

Solidified vinegar and at-home beer brewing kits win innovation awards - Yahoo News
Florida Ave. in Tampas Seminole Heights neighborhood. Among the eaterys goals will be to bring Cracker cuisine-style recipes back to life, says co-owner Michelle Baker. It was about a year ago when I last wrote about all the new places trying, hoping, praying to open up in Seminole Heights, the quiet bungalow neighborhood thats long been thought of as the next Hyde Park. Now, lots of those places and a few more are expanding, opening or just about to: craft beer bars, coffee shops, liquor distillers, vegan/organic cafes and upscale sandwich shops where lamb shank is a core part of the menu. Our goal is to show that passion of a chef-driven restaurant, said Michelle Baker, who with her husband and chef Greg Baker co-owns Fodder & Shine, along with The Refinery restaurant. There is nothing that doesnt grow in Florida, and we have some brilliant farmers. Our goal is to bring that, and classic Cracker cuisine-style recipes, back to life. For sure, South Tampas dining scene is doing just fine, and corporate branded restaurants in the West Shore District are money-making operations. But whenever I talk with the power brokers and development honchos in Tampa, and I ask where they like to eat, more than a few get a glint in their eye and say something like, We just found this amazing place in Seminole Heights. Have you heard of it? And to me, one of the surest signs that a neighborhood has reached a tipping point from perhaps a bit sketchy to a blossoming barrio are the cars parked out front. On any given night, the streets around Rooster & tThe Till , Ellas AmericanAmericana Folk Art Cafe and The Refinery are lined with BMWs, Range Rovers, Jaguars and perhaps a Bently or two. Soon, there will be even more places for these brave foodie explorers to go: At Fodder & Shine at 5910 N. Florida Ave., the menu will feature a long list of Florida-centric foods, from Yellowhammer steaks (from the centuries-old Florida breed with massive horns) to seafood from the Gulf and vegetables from local farms. The owners have a strategy of buying whole farm fields full of veggies, then bringing them to the restaurant for 24-hour canning sessions so chefs can pull them from Mason jars all year long. Besides an expansive kitchen and canning room, there will be an open-air patio, pool tables, classic arcade games, an expansive bar/lounge and plenty of room for expansion. Angry Chair Brewing at 6401 N. Florida Avenue started brewing on Oct. 3 and is already stocking barrels of advanced and creative beers. That includes 30 barrels of Ascension IPA, 20 barrels of a German-style salted wheat beer and a hoppy red ale. Its public space is nearly ready, and operators hope to open the first week of November with a half-dozen beers made on site and plenty more other local brews alongside. Were going to brew beers we like to drink, said co-founder Ryan Dowdle. Well let your customers dictate what we need to make more of and that will develop into our core beers. http://angrychairbrewing.com/ Owners of the vegan and organic-focused Delicious Surprise restaurant plan to fully open their space in November at 5921 N. Nebraska Ave. in a former sandwich shop/former bodega/former gas station. A fundraising drive on GoFundMe helped get them off the ground, and soon theyll be serving healthier plant-based classic American comfort foods, said owner and founder Michelle Ehrlich. That means customizable bowls, but also veggie burgers, and pizzas and milkshakes, but all plant-based and no animal products, all from as many local sources as possible. Lysa and Michael Bozel plan to open their Bourgeois Pig cafe/bar/restaurant in late November in a former bungalow at 7701 N. Nebraska Ave. Theyll start with lunch and dinner, and then perhaps a morning coffee bar. Construction is nearly complete, and theyre finalizing a menu. The big draw may be the Sunday Mexican brunch with taquitos, chili rellenos and Mamas Mojitos. Bonuses: valet parking and dog friendly. Jet City Espresso is already open at 5803 N. Florida Ave. and does a brisk business in morning coffee and lunchtime snacks. If you catch owner Jessica Glover there, ask about triathlons. She can give you a fantastic tutorial and a gluten-free muffin, too. Rooster & tThe Till is among the most food forward and experimental restaurants in the whole region, and itll soon double its space to accommodate the crowds who line up at the 6500 N. Florida Ave. site. (The old-school S.E. Mattis barbershop is right next door, and theres a new home design store set to open soon that might just rival West Elm or Crate & Barrel for sophistication.) Here I must give props to the Front Porch Grill & Bar for being a very, very early pioneer in the transformation of Seminole Heights. Its still going strong, right next door to Fodder & Shine. Same goes with Cappys Pizza and the Mermaid Tavern , an especially tucked-away little bar thats an oasis for the especially hip segment of town. Creativity like this doesnt stay within the pre-set boundaries of food, and so youll find several new art house studios opening up nearby, like Rustic Steel Creations at 3919 N. Highland Ave. and A Modern Line furniture in its new home at 4632 N. Florida Ave., next to the art studio and creative space Tempus Projects . Like all good neighborhood transformations, the periphery tends to be the most experimental and adventurous, and so its worth mentioning others on the fringe, like Lees Grocery (a way hip bar and pizza joint in a former bodega) and Ill throw in the Gonzmart family-backed Ulele restaurant on the river thats become the toast of Tampa. Other neighborhoods are going through similar transformations, from perhaps a bit sketchy to definitely funky to perhaps a bit mainstream. The Channel District will likely soon have a mainstream grocery store, and Ybor City now has a Buffalo Wild Wings Inc.location amid along the nightclub row on Seventh Avenue, which is saying something. I could go on and on, which is kind of my point. A little while ago, I ran into the exuberant and gracious Tom Haines, the general manager of the Epicurean hotel in South Tampa, as he went into Rooster & the Till to meet co-workers. Why was he so far up north from his mother ship? His simple answer, the food. My gut tells me there are a lot more places coming to Seminole Heights for Tom and everyone else to try. rmullins@tampatrib.com

Video captures bystander saving man from fire - WECT TV6-WECT.com:News, weather & sports Wilmington, NC
Load More LONDON (AP) The World Health Organization bungled efforts to halt the spread of Ebola in West Africa, an internal report revealed Friday, as President Barack Obama named a trusted political adviser to take control of America's frenzied response to the epidemic. The stepped-up scrutiny of the international response came as U.S. officials rushed to cut off potential routes of infection from three cases in Texas, reaching a cruise ship in the Caribbean and multiple domestic airline flights. Republican lawmakers and the Obama administration debated the value of restricting travelers from entering the U.S. from countries where the outbreak began, without a resolution. But with Secretary of State John Kerry renewing pleas for a "collective, global response" to a disease that has already killed more than 4,500 people in Africa, the WHO draft report pointed to serious errors by an agency designated as the international community's leader in coordinating response to outbreaks of disease. The document a timeline of the outbreak found that WHO, an arm of the United Nations, missed chances to prevent Ebola from spreading soon after it was first diagnosed in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea last spring, blaming factors including incompetent staff and a lack of information. Its own experts failed to grasp that traditional infectious disease containment methods wouldn't work in a region with porous borders and broken health systems, the report found. "Nearly everyone involved in the outbreak response failed to see some fairly plain writing on the wall," WHO said in the report, obtained by The Associated Press. "A perfect storm was brewing, ready to burst open in full force." The agency's own bureaucracy was part of the problem, the report found. It pointed out that the heads of its country offices in Africa are "politically motivated appointments" made by the WHO regional director for Africa, Dr. Luis Sambo, who does not answer to the agency's chief in Geneva, Dr. Margaret Chan. WH Picks Ebola Czar to Lead Virus Task Force Play video After WHO declared Ebola an international health emergency in August, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stepped in and had the United Nations take overall responsibility for fighting and eliminating the virus, among other things setting up an emergency response mission based in Ghana. Dr. Peter Piot, the co-discoverer of the Ebola virus, agreed that WHO acted far too slowly. "It's the regional office in Africa that's the front line," said Piot, interviewed at his office in London. "And they didn't do anything. That office is really not competent." WHO declined to comment on the document, which was not issued publicly, and said that Chan would be unavailable for an interview with the AP. She did tell Bloomberg News that she "was not fully informed of the evolution of the outbreak. We responded, but our response may not have matched the scale of the outbreak and the complexity of the outbreak." Meanwhile, Obama moved to step up the U.S. response to the disease, naming Ron Klain, a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, as the administration's point man on Ebola. Nurse With Ebola at NIH in 'fair' Conditio Play video Klain is a longtime Democratic operative who also served as a top aide to Vice President Al Gore. He does not have any medical or public health expertise. But the White House said he would serve as "Ebola response coordinator," suggesting his key role will be to synchronize the actions of many government agencies in combatting the disease. "This is much broader than a medical response," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said, citing Klain's experience in the private as well as public sector and his relationships with Congress. "All of that means he is the right person for the job, and the right person to make sure we are integrating the interagency response to this significant challenge," he said. Republican lawmakers continued pushing the administration Friday to consider restricting travel to the U.S. from the three Ebola-stricken West African countries. But despite Obama's statement Thursday that he was not "philosophically opposed" to such a ban, Earnest affirmed the White House's resistance to such a move. Republican Mike Leavitt, a former health secretary under President George W. Bush, said Friday that he sees "lots of problems" with such a ban. While it may seem like a good idea, Bush administration officials who considered it to contain bird flu concluded that it would not work, while raising a host of difficult questions about who would be allowed to travel. Raw: Cruise Ship Returns to US Over Ebola Fears Play video Other nations have taken steps to prevent travelers from the affected areas from crossing their borders. The Central American nation of Belize announced that it would immediately stop issuing visas to people from West African countries where Ebola had spread. U.S. officials continued their efforts to contain the fallout from the nation's first reported case of Ebola, Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian traveler who died last week at a Dallas hospital. To augment federal resources available in Dallas, the Obama administration said it was supporting or designating a White House liaison as well as a coordinator from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be stationed in the city. Officials said they were working to remove a hospital worker who had handled an Ebola lab specimen from a Caribbean cruise ship, although she had gone 19 days without showing any sign of the infection. The Carnival Cruise Lines ship was headed back to its home port of Galveston, Texas, on Friday after failing to get clearance to dock in Cozumel, Mexico, and officials in Belize would not allow the woman to leave the ship. The lab worker and her spouse were in isolation and she is "not deemed to be a risk to any guests or crew," a cruise line spokeswoman said. Doctors at the National Institutes of Health in Maryland said that a Dallas nurse, Nina Pham, brought there for Ebola treatment was very tired but resting comfortably Friday in fair condition. View gallery Jeff Hulbert, of Annapolis, Md., protests U.S. handling of Ebola cases outside of the White House Fr "We fully intend to have this patient walk out of this hospital," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said. Another nurse to contract Ebola, Amber Vinson, was being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Her uncle and family spokesman, Lawrence Vinson, said in a statement Thursday night that she was stable. "She followed all of the protocols necessary when treating a patient in Dallas, and right now, she's trusting in her doctors and nurses as she is now the patient," he said. His statement was released by Vinson's alma mater, Kent State University, where three of her relatives work. The school said those employees, who have been asked to remain off campus for three weeks, work in administrative areas and have little contact with students. View gallery Medical staff in protective gear escort Nina Pham, exiting the ambulance, to a nearby aircraft at Lo Concerns persisted about people who might have been in contact with her during a recent trip between Texas and Ohio. Police said Vinson stayed at the home of her mother and stepfather in Tallmadge, northeast of Akron, and the home has been cordoned off with yellow tape. Eight individuals in northeast Ohio were under quarantine, health officials said. Frontier Airlines said it would contact passengers on seven flights, including two that carried Vinson and others afterward that used the same plane. Despite the stepped up attention to disease, though, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim warned Friday that officials in many countries were focused too much on their own borders. "I still don't think that the world has understood what the possible downside risk is not just to the west African economy but to the global economy. And we are still losing the battle," he said. ___ Adam Geller reported from New York.
