Editor: Open access to government 'keeps us free'By DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 12. 2013 8:08PM
MANCHESTER — While New Hampshire's right-to-know law is spelled out in state statutes, accessing public records and information from government agencies can be an arduous process.
The Telegraph of Nashua was honored Tuesday with the Nackey S. Loeb First Amendment Award for its Open Government Project, which the newspaper describes as "committed to improving citizens' access to public records through right-to-know law requests, news coverage and education."
The First Amendment Award is given annually to a New Hampshire person or entity that has worked to protect the rights of free speech and freedom of the press.
"Right-to-know gives us the opportunity to cut through the lies and get to the truth. The right-to-know reveals to us wrongs we never even knew existed. The right-to-know keeps us free," Telegraph editor Phil Kincade said. "This is why we at The Telegraph are so appreciative of this award. It's something very special to us. It enlivens us. It encourages us. It invigorates us."
Kincade also quoted a passage from the very law that led the newspaper to its Open Government Project.
"Openness in the conduct of public business is essential to a democratic society. That is the opening sentence of the preamble of New Hampshire's right-to-know law," he said. "There is no more succinct way to say it."
Kincade and other representatives of the newspaper received the award at the end of a luncheon banquet at the Executive Court Conference Center.
The keynote speaker for the event was ABC-TV anchor George Stephanopoulos, a political veteran who as an analyst and advisor is quite familiar with the Granite State and its first-in-the-nation presidential primary.
"It's hard to find a state that takes liberty as seriously as all of you do. Every four years, you take out that First Amendment and you put it to the test. You put politicians to the test in town meeting after town meeting," Stephanopoulos said in his opening remarks. "And that is our democracy in action."
The Loeb School was founded in 1999 by Nackey S. Loeb, the longtime publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader, as a nonprofit resource for the public to learn and appreciate the First Amendment as well as study journalism and other forms of communication. The school is also the majority stockholder in the ownership group that includes the New Hampshire Union Leader.
A panel of judges selects the First Amendment Award winner, choosing The Telegraph this year as the 11th as the recipient.
The paper's right-to-know campaign has brought about several changes within Nashua city government. Among them was the police commission changing its meeting times from early morning to evening, providing more citizens the opportunity to attend. The commission is also publicizing agendas and minutes from its meetings for the first time, Kincade said.
Another request exposed thousands of dollars in public funds used to feed public-works employees.
Jonathan Van Fleet, managing editor for content, said many right-to-know requests don't lead to significant revelations or major headlines. But the effort itself is a tool the public must continue to utilize to ensure transparency within government.
"On one hand it is gratifying to be recognized by our peers in the state," Van Fleet said after the banquet. "But really this is one of those things that recognizes the fundamentals of journalism and what we do and why we show up to the newsroom every day. It means a lot and is validating to our efforts."

Read Full Review
A wan version of the same old tired serial killer story, despite its updated milieu -- cyberspace.
Lane skillfully sells the tech-heavy script. But after a much-too-early reveal of the murderer's identity, the ''low battery'' signal starts to flash on this film by thriller specialist Gregory Hoblit, director of last year's far superior "Fracture."
Highly watchable, anchored sturdily by Lane's convincing performance.
A horrifying thriller, smart and tightly told, and merciless.

Not for kids 17 and under
Violent torture thriller puts blame on the media.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this violent thriller features several long, disturbing scenes of torture -- bodies are bloodied, burned, dissolved in acid, and nearly decapitated by whirling blades. Other upsetting scenes feature Tasering, shooting, and a threat against a young girl, as well as plenty of images of dead bodies. All of this is framed within an argument against easy access to images of violence and abuse via the Internet, but that doesn't make it any less disturbing. Language includes repeated uses of "f--k" and other profanity.
Messages: The killer is angered by violence's exposure in the media and makes his viewers complicit in his crimes. Agents are frustrated, angry, and eventually triumphant.
Violence: Incessant violence (on computer screens and "live") committed by the serial killer, who tortures victims in front of a Web cam. These scenes are bloody, loud, and variously creepy: one involves the death of a kitten, while others show poisoning/bleeding, burning by sunlamps, bodily immersion in a vat of acid, and suspension over roaring lawnmower-style blades. The killer uses a Taser to zap his victims unconscious. SWAT teams burst into a couple of suspects' homes. Frequent tense moments as characters make their way through dark shadows. Plenty of guns wielded by agents -- and shot at suspect. Repeated viewing of a graphic scene in which a man shoots his head off. References to terrorism and using the Internet to publicize violence. Verbal references to a cop killed on the job, and several references to sex-related crimes (soliciting children online, for instance).
Sex: Some brief shots of porn Web sites on FBI computer monitors; images of "bondage" found in one suspect's home are shown briefly. A couple of non-explicit shower scenes suggest a woman's vulnerability (camera hovers outside shower or above her crouched form). Passing references to a male flirting with a "men's chorus soprano."
Language: Many uses of "f--k," in addition to frequent instances of other language ("s--t," "damn," "hell," "ass," etc.) In one instance, "f--k" is carved into a victim's chest.
Consumerism: Pepsi vending machine in cops' office.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue

Family cat revived after Salem blaze
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
Firefighters from several communities battled this Salem cottage fire on Atkinson Road. (COURTESY)
SALEM - An afternoon house fire left a Salem residence heavily damaged Tuesday afternoon.
The Salem Fire Department received a call from a neighbor at 2:38 on Tuesday, reporting heavy smoke coming from a one-story home at 20 Atkinson Road, assistant fire chief Paul Parisi said.
A fleet of Salem fire vehicles, including two engines, a ladder truck, an ambulance and a heavy-rescue vehicle arrived on the scene within minutes, with crews from Windham, Derry and Methuen, Mass., assisting in an aggressive interior attack.
Heavy smoke filled the 20-by-20-foot cottage, though firefighters were able to pull the resident housecat from the building and revived the animal after it had lost consciousness from smoke inhalation.
The homeowners weren't present when the fire broke out, Parisi said, and the fire was under control within an hour.
However, the structure was left uninhabitable after the fire, sustaining heavy smoke damage throughout. "I'd say the whole place is pretty unlivable right now," Parisi said, noting that the local Red Cross Chapter has been contacted to assist the occupants with food, clothing and lodging, if necessary.
The cause of the fire is currently being investigated.

Most of the route goes through scenic areas, both marshy and through Coronado. Sure, there's some industrial parts and can be hefty headwinds but it's an overall nice ride.
My wife, Kindred, and I did the trail staring at the ferry and going clockwise around for a 25.09 mile ride, including the ferry trip back across the bay. A perfect day to ride even though there was a little wind! Highly recommend doing this lovely bike ride. 3/30/2018
We rode this trail and somehow connected it with several others and ended at "dog beach" in Oceanside. We rode 20 miles total. Good ride crazy crowds ( we did ride on a Sunday after a rainy Saturday). Signage could have been better especially at critical turns. I think on a weekday it would have been fantastic.
We circumnavigated the bay. The attached map was very useful. The map the city provides was also nice. We had to use both maps to get around especially the east side by the shipping yards. There is mostly bike lanes the entire route, the problem is some streets are not listed. The other issue is when some trails end they don't have signage to get you to the next one. We also did the ferry that cost $4.95 bikes welcomed. Please do this ride it is fantastic with a boat ride in the harbor to boot!! And an ocean ¿¿¿¿¿¿
As a resident of Escondido I use the bike path all the time for pleasure and commuting to work. It really surprises me that there are no crosswalks where the path meets the busy streets. It's very difficult to cross and cars do not yield. It would be simple to put paint striping aka crosswalks to make the space safe and more useable for all.
The majority of this ride is beautiful, fun and safe to do with kids. But, with young kids / new riders you may want to stick to the west side of the trail. The north side (near Campland / Golf Course) requires biking in the street with traffic. Similarly, the stretch along Sea World Dr. and across W. Mission Bay Bridge is heavily trafficked/ not kid friendly.
When I need serenity at heart and peace at mind, I come to this flat woven trail that hugs the coastal train tracks and has magnificent views of the Pacific shore cliffs and the vast turquoise ocean. A pure delight of a trail with restaurants and clean restrooms along the way. As you walk you'll be greeted by the toots of the Amtrack train as it wind its way past you demonstarting the power of engineering. This is definitely one of the sweetest gems in south O.C.!
You take your life in jeoprardy on this trail. Many street crossings, none have striping and are poorly signed. Cars will not stop, even if you are in the middle of the street.
The west end, from the Transit Center on, has a ton of trash left by the homeless. Also be careful riding under the underpasses that you don't run over someone sleeping.
I was using the bike path everyday to commute to work but the past couple weeks I haven't been riding the bike path at all cause every time I do I get flat tire of two.... Literally every single time, so my question is "how often does the path get cleaned and I mean the actual riding path????
I have hiked this for years , part of early morning walk. this trail also is part of the California Riding and Hiking Trail, which heads inland for another 16 miles, to steel canyon bridge, you will need a mountain bike. In addition the California Coastal Trail and San Diego Bike the Bay Trail crosses this and is part of it for a short segment . My only issue is the amount of freeway noise in a few places, but the view of the river will keep your attention. There is easy parking at the end of E st. , off frwy 5 or Plaza Bonita shopping center. The trail head is an short walk from the E st trolley station, So in short you can travel a few trails in one.
I walk from OB east to where the trail meets Int 5, and back at least twice (total appx. 5 miles round trip) starting at 4:00 a.m. Takes me about 2 1/2 hours. The trail is pretty much deserted at this early hour, for me at age 66 its a great start to the day. I love this wonderful trail!
Heading east from the ocean, cross under College Blvd, continue on the more recent trail addition, arriving at Andrew Jackson St.
Turn left on this residential road, follow as it becomes Tyler St. Watch for the trail sign on the left.
Turn left, continue eastward on the trail, end at Santa Fe Ave. parking area at San Luis Rey Mission Expressway (Highway 76).
Turn left, staying on the dirt path on the north side of the highway, going east, then turn right to take an underpass to enter Guajome Regional Park.
There are dirt paths for walking, running, bicycling there.

Stillwater Lift Bridge Ends 2013 Schedule
STILLWATER (AP) - The Stillwater Lift Bridge has ended its summer lift schedule for the year.
That means boaters may encounter delays as they try to get under the bridge across the St. Croix River between Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The last day of the full lift schedule was Tuesday.
The bridge will remain in the down position until next spring. A 24-hour notice is needed to request the lift section be raised.
Boaters and other water traffic can request the lift be raised by calling Metro Dispatch at 651-234-7110.

Atherurus africanus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Atherurus africanus Gray, 1842
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Hoffmann, M. & Cox, N.
|Amori, G.
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. The species' prevalence in wild meat markets is cause for concern, and requires careful monitoring.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is distributed from Guinea, Sierra Leone and The Gambia in West Africa eastwards in forested regions to Kenya. It has been recorded from sea level to the Cameroon Highlands. The species is also found on Bioko Island. A record from east of Lake Tanganyika (Kingdon 1974) is not shown in Swynnerton and Hayman (1951) or Kingdon 1997. It has been recorded up to 3,000 m asl.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Benin; Cameroon; Congo; Congo, The Democratic Republic of the; Côte d'Ivoire; Equatorial Guinea; Gabon; Gambia; Ghana; Guinea; Kenya; Liberia; Sierra Leone; Sudan; Togo; Uganda
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|This species is not uncommon, but it is nocturnal and is rarely seen.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It is found in rainforest and in forest along the edge waterways. It lives in holes in the roots of large trees, hollow logs, fallen branches, rock crevices, termite mounds and other similar places. It does not dig its own burrows. The species is a nocturnal, and solitary forager, although it dens communally in parties of two to six (sometimes more) animals.
It has a gestation length of 100 to 110 days, with a single young born (though Haltenorth and Diller [1980] mention up to four), in two to three litters per year. This species has a longevity of 15 years.
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
|It is hunted for food.
|Major Threat(s):
|As with other African porcupines, this species can cause damage to crops and agricultural fields, favouring a number of cultivated roots and fruits, such as cassava, sweet potatoes, bananas and other fruits. It is subject to extensive exploitation for human consumption in much of its range (being a ground-dwelling, large-sized rodent, capable of producing up to 2 kg of meat), and in Gabon, Nigeria, Cameroon and Congo this is a favoured species in wild meat markets. (Jori et al. 1998). In Equatorial Guinea, a survey showed that the wild meat trade relied heavily on the Brush-tailed Porcupine and the Blue Duiker (Cephalophus monticola), with these two species accounting for more than one half of all carcasses brought to markets (Fa et al. 1995). Jori et al. (1998) report that the meat of this species is also often the most expensive meat in many African cities
|Conservation Actions:
|It is known to occur in several protected areas, including Comoe National Park in Côte d'Ivoire and National Park of Upper Niger in Guinea. There has been extensive research into harvest levels (see Jori et al. 1998), as well as an investigation into the feasibility of farming these animals in Gabon (Jori et al. 1998). However, the low reproductive rates in captivity pose a problem.
|Errata reason:
|This errata assessment has been created because the map was accidentally left out of the version published previously.

XBiotech Expands Portfolio to Include Biosimilars
Proprietary Manufacturing Methods Enable Significant Cost Reduction and Flexibility to Position XBiotech as the Most Competitive Provider of Generic Antibody Therapeutics
Feb 26, 2013, 01:30 EST
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- XBiotech, a privately held biotechnology company, announced today that it is entering the biosimilar business. The Company is launching its biosimilar business with development of two of the world's leading therapeutic antibodies, one an oncology and the other an anti-inflammatory product. Entering into the biosimilar space will complete what XBiotech considers is its strategic portfolio of therapeutic antibodies. The Company believes that its manufacturing technology will lower production costs for biological products by an order of magnitude compared to other developers of generic biologics. Moreover, the Company claims that the flexibility and short lead-times needed to build production capacity is ideally suited for addressing the uncertain market conditions for biosimilars. The Company aims to enter into clinical trials with its first biosimilar product within the next year and launch into the market place by 2017.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121017/MM95359LOGO)
"With our ability to manufacture antibody product at ultra-low costs, our aim is to make XBiotech the most competitive provider of biosimilar products in the world," said John Simard, president and CEO of XBiotech. "This is a logical next step to round out our antibody assets and fully exploit XBiotech's antibody commercialization platform."
There are a number of different biosimilar antibodies expected to hit the market beginning in 2014, including generic versions of Avastin®, Herceptin®, Remicade™, Rituxan®, and others. These therapeutics currently represent the majority of revenues from global sales of antibodies, of more than $40 billion. The potential to capture significant share of this market is luring a number of players, including heavy-weight producers of branded biologics, such as Amgen, and diverse entrants, such as Samsung, into the biosimilar development. However, with the large number of developers there remains considerable uncertainty about how market share is going to be divided, once a number of competing products hit the market.
Simard added that "In the biosimilar space cost competitiveness is going to be crucial to the success of these products. Market share is going to be driven by the ability to provide these products to the end user at lower costs than the competitor's. Developers capable of dramatically reducing cost of goods and establishing innovative distribution strategies will ultimately be able to dominate the biosimilar market. We believe XBiotech is well positioned to take advantage of this opportunity."
About XBiotech
XBiotech is pioneering breakthrough therapies that improve the safety and efficacy of antibody therapeutics. The Company's lead product candidate inhibits chronic sterile inflammation by targeting IL-1α, a master regulator of inflammation. The clinical development program addresses tremendous unmet medical need in multiple disease indications including, acne, psoriasis, cachexia, cancer, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. XBiotech is also revolutionizing scalable, flexible manufacturing systems for the production of biological therapies. Using minimal infrastructure and disposable bioreactor technology – to dramatically reduce capital requirements, operating complexity, and lead times - the Company has established a compelling commercialization path for therapeutic antibodies.

1. What caused the universe to exist?This presumes an agency, which is a natural way our mind works, but not necessarily true. Our assumption that something causes something else is also due to our pattern-seeking mind. I am currently reading Michael Shermer's The Believing Brain and he addresses the question of why we ask these questions and come up with the answers we do. Basically, we are programmed by evolution to seek patterns even if those patterns are wrong because the cost of not finding a true pattern (e.g., being bit by a predator rustling in the grass) is much greater than the cost of having a false positive (running when we hear a rabbit rustling in the grass).
2. What explains the fine tuning of the universe?There is no fine tuning of the universe. It is a figment of some believers' imagination. We are the center of our own little universes, and when we contemplate the greater universe we want to extend that sense of specialness, even though it's totally wrong. If a Christian really wants to know how people counter that silly argument, they don't have to look far.
3. Why is the universe rational?It's not. Nothing is rational without a prefrontal cortex.
4. How did DNA and amino acids arise?From smaller pieces of matter that got stuck together in bigger and bigger bundles as time went on.
5. Where did the genetic code come from?See the answer to #4
6. How do irreducibly complex enzyme chains evolve?Irreducibly complex anything is a figment of the Christian imagination. Even if there were such a thing, that would not imply a God or any kind of agent or rational entity tinkering with the chemicals. Notice that anti-science Christians never argue that crystals form according to God's plan, only chemicals that happen to be inside the human body. I have windows that have very poor insulation. In the winter crystals form on them every night. They are beautiful even though they are a sign that my landlord is a cheapskate. How does water form crystals on windows in such beautiful patterns? Because of the chemical structure and nature of water. Ditto, everything else.
7. How do we account for the origin of 116 distinct language families?By the spread of humans all across the globe into separate cultural groups. Having one core language group would have been much more of an argument for a God. Language families have family trees that linguists have deduced by studying the relationships amongst the languages. I have never heard this idiotic question before. Kind of makes me wonder if Christians are giving up on trying to out-science everyone with their ignorant arguments.
8. Why did cities suddenly appear all over the world between 3,000 and 1,000BC?This is not true. Mohenjo Daro appeared in India in ca. 5,000 BC and Chinese cities als predate the earliest Middle Eastern Cities. But... the human race is about the same age everywhere, so if we learn from our elders and experiment and adapt our behaviors to various environments, it's kind of inevitable that the same species will do the same behaviors at about the same time in different places.
9. How is independent thought possible in a world ruled by chance and necessity?Ahhh the questions get stupider by the number. Thinking is possible because our brains are adapted for thinking. Not all of use do it very well, as evidenced by this list of questions.
10. How do we account for self-awareness?Neurologists are answering more and more of these things all the time. We have brains that recognize ourselves, but amazingly don't recognize that the brain is what makes it possibe for us to do it. Did Teri Schiavo have self awareness after her brain turned to slush? No. There's your answer.
11. How is free will possible in a material universe?Check out the debate between Jerry Coyne and Richard Carrier (and possibly a few others) on this matter. Our "will" is only as free as our brain allows it to be. And since your "will" is a function of your brain, which is a material object, I think the question is kind of stupid. (Bud, what's the word for this kind of stupidity?)
12. How do we account for conscience?Brains.
13. On what basis can we make moral judgements?On the basis of the moral code that we get from our culture, or that we make up ourselves. Richard Dawkins makes this point very clearly in The God Delusion. Throughout the history of the Judeo-Christian "law" there has been very little relationship between the written word and the morality of the peoples who professed to believe in it.
14. Why does suffering matter?It matters to the being that's suffering because suffering hurts. Owie. We are programmed by evolution to want to live, and to avoid things that hurt. Duh. In a group of beings that are attached by a social bond, the suffering of others matters to us because 1) we have mirror neurons that give us the ability to empathize and 2) the survival of the group depends on the survival of individuals.
15. Why do human beings matter?We don't, except to ourselves and our pets.
16. Why care about justice?Because we live in a social group, and social groups work better when there's a system of justice to punish selfish individuals. Even non-human primates believe in justice, and I swear my smarter cocker spaniel keeps track of how many treats she gets compared to my other dogs.
17. How do we account for the almost universal belief in the supernatural?Michael Shermer to the rescue again. We see patterns because of our neurology, and we also attribute agency to things because not to do so when there's actually an agent would put us at an evolutionary disadvantage. Even Christians know this at heart. It's the basis for Pascal's Wager: being wrong about the supernatural is harmless if we believe in something false, but not believing in it if it's real could be dangerous. It's the snake vs. bunny in the grass wager again.
18. How do we know the supernatural does not exist?You can't absolutely 100% prove a negative in this case, because there could be a supernatural agent on some other planet we can't ever observe. But... so far on this planet things that seem to be supernatural because of some trick of our minds have 100% turned out to be explainable in natural terms, or have not been proved not to be natural.
19. How can we know if there is conscious existence after death?We can't, but it's a safe bet there isn't. If we can be "brain dead," then we're already not conscious. There also isn't conscious existence when we're asleep or under anesthesia. Babies The fact that it can be suspended pretty much points to it being a natural, 100% worldly, phenomenon attributable to the way our brains work. When the brain dies, we die. When others' brains die, they die, but our brains still hold their images and can play tricks on us.
20. What accounts for the empty tomb, resurrection appearances and growth of the church?Empty tomb: here are a few possible explanations. 1) Christ cheated death, 2) it's a made-up story to make Christ seem more supernatural in order to persuade bronze age people who would have expected a story like that of a godlike being, 3) his body was stolen, 4) he wasn't really dead and his pals helped him out of there, 5) he didn't exist, 6) his death was faked and he was never in the tomb.
One of those explanations is supernatural. Five of them are ordinary and fairly prosaic explanations. Why choose to believe the one supernatural one?
Resurrection appearances: You mean how Elvis appeared to his fans for years after his death? Dunno. I never got that one.
Growth of Christianity: prosletyzing, forced conversions, and making up stories that would appeal to the people being prosletyzed to. Other religions have grown too. Believing in agency, the supernatural, authority figures, etc. predispose us to believe in the fairy tales of our elders and to be converted when we are vulnerable. Add to this the tendency of kings and emperors to dictate which religion the people have to follow, and you get mass conversions like crazy. The Africans who came to the U.S. as slaves were pantheists who believed that they were captured because their god wasn't as strong as their captors' god, so they switched to the team with the better pitcher. Now there are millions of African-American Christians who are their descendents. So the spread of Christianity is pretty easily explainable by anyone who has bothered to read a basic world history textbook.
Well, that was fun. Some Christian really thought these questions were unanswerable? Makes you wonder if they have ever tried to find out alternate answers on their own. Most of them aren't even aware of the ways that other religions answer their deep questions. Certainly the spread of Christianity has been documented well enough that they could learn about their own religion. For someone to add that last question shows an appalling level of ignorance.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is joining the growing list of Republicans who say the party needs to broaden its political appeal.
The Virginia Republican, appearing on CBS's "This Morning," previews a major policy address he'll give Tuesday to the conservative-oriented American Enterprise Institute, saying the GOP must "explain why we're doing what we're doing."
Cantor says the party must persuade people that its policies will help them. He says the party can — and should — be in the lead on issues like economic growth, job creation, immigration and education. He says, quote, "We've got to address the plight of so many working Americans and those who don't have work and say, yes — we have policies that will work." Cantor says he'll work for bipartisan cooperation in Washington.
