BSkyB mulls UK Online closure
All off to Sky broadband?
BSkyB is considering closing UK Online, an ISP brand it acquired when it bought Easynet.
The broadcaster says it hasn't yet decided what to do with UK Online's subscribers, but The Register understands the leading option is to shift them over to Sky broadband packages. An announcement is expected within the next month.
UK Online bills itself as "a business grade service but not a business price", offering broadband access via Easynet's LLU network, which BSkyB bought in 2005.
Having successfully established itself in the home broadband market, the broadcaster is currently in the process of selling Easynet to a private equity firm. BSkyB will retain control of the network assets, while Easynet will go it alone as a services firm, competing with BT Global Services among others.
UK Online was created by Easynet to sell broadband to technical home users and small businesses. It pioneered ADSL2+ in the UK. The Easynet sell-off places it in limbo between Sky's mass market consumer offering and the new Easynet's large corporate targets, however.
BSkyB told The Register: "We're currently reviewing how to support UK Online customers following the announcement about the proposed sale of Easynet.
"No decisions have been taken at this time and we'll let customers know directly if and when there are any changes planned."
In the meantime service will continue as normal, the spokesman said. ®

CHICAGO -- The conservative Illinois Family Institute and two suburban Chicago churches are seeking a judge's permission to help defend the state's ban on gay marriage, saying they should be able to intervene in a lawsuit filed by 25 gay and lesbian couples who want to overturn the 16-year-old law.
CHICAGO -- The conservative Illinois Family Institute and two suburban Chicago churches are seeking a judge's permission to help defend the state's ban on gay marriage, saying they should be able to intervene in a lawsuit filed by 25 gay and lesbian couples who want to overturn the 16-year-old law.
Two downstate county clerks received approval this summer to defend the law after Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez and Attorney General Lisa Madigan refused to do so, claiming the ban violates the Illinois Constitution's equal protection clause. Now the IFI, Arlington Heights-based Church of Christian Liberty and Bensenville-based Grace Gospel Fellowship, say they should be able to intervene, too.
Cook County Circuit Judge Sophia Hall heard arguments Thursday on the IFI's request. She will not make a decision until she hears arguments involving the churches' request. That hearing is set for Nov. 7.
Attorneys for the Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom, representing the IFI, said the Illinois group has a valid interest in the case because of its long history of opposing gay marriage and its role in passing the state ban. Alliance attorney Bryan Beauman said allowing the IFI to intervene also would "even the playing field" because there are two groups representing the plaintiffs.
Separate lawsuits filed in May by the American Civil Liberties Union and New York-based Lambda Legal since have been consolidated.
Lambda Legal attorney Camilla Taylor said the IFI had no legal standing to intervene just because it "spent time and money" to promote its views to the public and lawmakers.
The churches want to intervene because they fear that if the law is struck down, they would be vulnerable to antidiscrimination lawsuits if they refused to rent their facilities to gay or lesbian couples, attorney Jason Craddock said after the hearing.
"They would be sitting ducks," because they rent s ome facilities to the public but would not have a religious exemption, Craddock said.
Nobody objected in July when Effingham County Clerk Kerry Hirtzel and Tazewell County Clerk Christie Webb were allowed to intervene. They're represented by the Thomas More Society, a public interest law firm that opposes gay marriage.
Webb said she doesn't take a position on gay marriage. Instead, she said she wants to ensure there's a uniform law for all counties so clerks know how to respond if a gay or lesbian couple applies for a marriage license.
The original lawsuits were filed against Cook County Clerk David Orr, a supporter of gay marriage whose office is responsible for issuing marriage licenses in Chicago and the rest of the county. Some of the plaintiffs were from outside Cook County, but all had applied for marriage licenses there and been denied.
Alvarez, the Cook County prosecutor, said it was her job to represent Orr, and they both agreed with the plaintiffs.
Alvarez's and Madigan's refusal to defend the ban has raised eyebrows among some legal experts who believe prosecutors are legally bound to defend Illinois law. Others say the prosecutors were within their rights.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The captain of a ferry that crashed into a pier near New York's Wall Street told investigators the reverse thrusters failed to work as the vessel neared the dock, leading to the crash that injured 57 people, federal officials said on Thursday.
The 36-year-old captain, the Seastreak ferry line's most experienced with 12 years at the helm, told the National Transportation Safety Board that he attempted to slow the vessel on Wednesday morning but the commands did not respond, the board said after its first full day of inquiry.
"The captain reported the vessel would not respond to his reverse thrust commands as anticipated," NTSB member Robert Sumwalt told reporters, recounting part of the captain's three-hour interview.
The captain alternated between control consoles attempting to get the propellers to work in reverse, and "somewhere during this sequence he reported that both diesel engines shut off," Sumwalt said.
The NTSB did not identify the captain by name. The New York Post reported the captain was Jason Reimer.
The ferry, the Seastreak Wall Street, had experienced at least two previous docking accidents, in 2009 and 2010, including one blamed on mechanical failure, according to a U.S. Coast Guard website.
The captain and the first mate, also interviewed on Thursday, were both "shaken and very concerned about the accident," Sumwalt said, calling them both "forthright and cooperative."
The five-member crew tested negative for alcohol, Sumwalt said. Drug test results will take longer, he said.
The high-speed commuter ferry was carrying more than 300 passengers from New Jersey when it crashed into a pier during a docking approach.
Injured passengers were laid out on stretchers on the pier as the fire department and others called to the scene administered first aid. One patient remained in critical condition on Thursday, New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center said.
The accident occurred as commuters lined up to disembark and head to work. Many were thrown to the deck by the impact, which tore a gash in the 141-foot (43-metre) catamaran.
"It's a pretty good-sized hole," Coast Guard spokeswoman Jetta Disco said. The ferry was traveling at 10 to 12 knots, or about 11.5 to 14 miles per hour, when it hit the pier.
Ferry operator Seastreak is owned by the Barker and Tregurtha families, who also own the Interlake Steamship Company, Mormac Marine Group Inc, and Moran Towing Co, the largest tug and barge operator on the East and Gulf Coasts, according to the company's website.

Man arrested in Rochester attack faces 8 chargesBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
October 16. 2013 9:01PM
DOVER — The man allegedly involved in a violent encounter outside a Hannaford's supermarket in Rochester Tuesday remained in jail on $10,000 cash bail.
Christopher J. Wentworth, 41, of 32 Chestnut Hill Road in Rochester, was charged with four counts of felony second-degree assault, three counts of felony criminal threatening and one count of misdemeanor simple assault.
During the incident, which began around 9:40 a.m. Tuesday, Wentworth allegedly struck another man with a two-foot, hand-made club and hit a third with a bag of popcorn in the parking lot at Hannaford's Supermarket at 11 Milton Road — Route 125 — in Rochester.
Wentworth, who was held overnight at Strafford County Jail, was arraigned Wednesday afternoon in 7th District Court in Dover.
Judge Susan Ashley set bail at $10,000 cash and determined that it could be converted to personal recognizance if Wentworth is accepted into the Strafford County Community Corrections Program with a mental health referral.
The following bail conditions would be in place: Wentworth could have no contact with any of the other men involved in the case, he must stay away from either Hannaford's in Rochester, sign a waiver of extradition and refrain from possessing any weapons, using drugs or excessive alcohol, according to court clerk's office.
If Wentworth fails to remain enrolled in SCCCP, bail would convert back to cash, according to court clerk's office.

Breaking News Emails
Teens who bully other kids, or are both bullies and bullied themselves, are more likely to engage in risky sex, according to a new study. That's especially the case among heterosexual teens, researchers say.
"Some previous research has found that aggression and sexual risk-taking are related, so it was not entirely surprising that bullies and bully-victims reported more sexual risk-taking than their peers," Melissa K. Holt said.
What's more, some research has found that kids and teens cope with being bullied by using drugs or alcohol, for instance. Acting out sexually may be another way young people respond to bullying, Holt told Reuters Health.
She led the research at the Boston University School of Education.
The study included almost 9,000 high school students from 24 schools who completed a survey about bullying and sexual behavior. "Risky sex" was defined as casual sex and sex while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
About 80 percent of the students said they had not bullied other kids or been bullied themselves.
Seven percent of those teens reported ever having casual sex with someone they had just met or didn't know very well. And 12 percent said they had had sex under the influence.
The numbers were similar for students who said they had been bullied, but hadn't bullied others.
But among the 6 percent of kids who claimed to have acted as bullies, one quarter had engaged in casual sex and just over a third said they'd had sex while drunk or high.
Another 6 percent of students said they had both acted as bullies and been the victims of bulling. Of those teens, 20 percent had had casual sex and 23 percent reported having sex under the influence.
The researchers accounted for other childhood experiences that might lead to sexual risk-taking, but the link to bullying remained.
Bullies, bullying victims and kids who were both bullies and bullied were more likely to experience dating violence than other kids, too, according to the results published in Pediatrics.
When the researchers looked at students' sexual orientation, the link between bullying and risky sex was strongest among heterosexual teens.
Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning (GLBTQ) students are often minorities at school, Holt said, and may experience stigma and discrimination.
"These unique stressors associated with being a sexual minority might translate into coping mechanisms that are different than those used by straight teens," she said.
It is important to note that GLBTQ youth were twice as likely to report being bullied as their heterosexual peers, Amanda Nickerson said. They were also more likely to say they had experienced dating violence or been sexually abused.
Nickerson was not involved in the new study. She is the director of the Alberti Center for Bullying Abuse Prevention at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York.
"The bottom line is that bullying behavior is something that parents and teachers should be concerned about, both because of the deleterious effects of bullying itself, but also because of its association with other problems such as substance use, other aggressive behavior, criminal involvement, as well as depression and suicidality," Nickerson said.
Based on the apparent link between bullying and risky sex, bullying prevention programs might consider addressing sexual behavior, Holt said. Those programs could focus on building skills and healthy coping responses.
"That said, the majority of youth are not engaging in sexual risk-taking, regardless of their bullying involvement," she said.
"Parents and teachers should be aware of this increased risk, and assess for possible sexual risk-taking among bullies and bully-victims, but not assume that youth engaging in bullying perpetration are also participating in risky sexual behaviors."

Time Warner Cable's Contractual Loophole Allows It To Tell Local Politicians It Has Received Zero Complaints
from the which-is-the-least-likely-thing-to-ever-have-happened dept
How plausible is it for a company that routinely ranks at the bottom of customer satisfaction surveys to claim it has had "no complaints?" Time Warner Cable did exactly that on its way to extending its franchise agreement with Keene, New Hampshire through 2023. Broadband Reports has the details:
Last month in Keene, New Hampshire, the Keene City Council was voting on whether to add a second local channel (which would give the city more revenue) through Time Warner Cable. In exchange, Time Warner Cable wanted to extend the franchise agreement with the city for an additional five years, or the year 2023. While the rest of the council agreed to give Time Warner Cable the extension, one Councilor had a bit of an issue with the way that Time Warner Cable was running their business.Yes, that last part is true. TWC's franchise agreement contains some language that allows it to whitewash its horrible track record. Bill Neilson at Broadband Reports spoke with the objecting council member, who forwarded him the no-problems-here contractual clause.
Even though the Council voted 4-1 in favor of the second channel, Councilor Terry M. Clark expressed his disappointment with Time Warner Cable on their refusal to adhere to the original franchise agreement signed with the city years back that forces Time Warner Cable to tell the City Council about any complaints that they receive from customers:
"They reported back that they had no complaints," Clark said at last week's meeting. "I asked, 'Why?' They said because they weren't required to write them down."
Except as limited by federal law or FCC regulations concerning privacy, Franchisee shall maintain a record of all such complaints and such records shall be available at Franchisee's local offices for at least two years for inspection by the Franchising Authority as it may from time to time request, during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Franchisee to maintain records of oral complaints, which can be handled to the customer's satisfaction in the course of the initial conversation in which the complaint is made or does not require technical field response. Upon request, the Franchisee shall provide to the Franchising Authority an accounting of the number and nature of such complaints.Oral complaints apparently don't need to be recorded for posterity if they are handled with a single phone call, or if a technician is never sent out. The key here would seem to be "to the customer's satisfaction," but it appears TWC isn't going to let itself get bogged down by discussions about whether or not the end user was actually satisfied. Presumably, "handled in a single phone call" is still valid (and unrecordable) even if the person is bounced from useless rep to useless rep for hours or simply spends an unimaginable amount of time on hold. As long as someone on TWC's end can put a check in the "resolved" box at the end of the conversation (and keep technicians from leaving the building), the complaint is off the record.
If the person calls back, presumably a new record is opened for that single call and, again, dismissed once the problem is "resolved." This is cooking the books on low heat and since TWC is the custodian of the records, there's little anyone can do to point out where complaints are being vanished into the ether.
Councilman Clark strongly feels TWC just isn't being honest.
"It's my contention that most call-in complaints are not resolved in the course of the initial conversation and that they are required to account for the nature of all complaints," said Councilor Terry M. Clark.But if only one council member is going to ask questions, it's highly unlikely TWC will suddenly become a model of corporate responsibility. Until there's danger of it losing the contract, it's not going to live up to even the most basic level of accountability. This is the other danger of cableco monopolies and duopolies: even cities themselves have no leverage against the only game in town.
It takes a humongous amount of chutzpah to claim you've had no complaints, when all of the following is on the record (gathered by Broadband Reports):
This statement by TWC is the company daring the city council to call bullshit on its claims. But the city won't. The funds the city collects from every TWC subscriber (much of which goes to support local TV channels) won't be easy to replace, especially if an incumbent cable company poisons the well before leaving town. TWC has a good thing going and has fought the council every step of the way to ensure its profit margins stay intact.
- Ranker.com ranked TWC 2nd worst with customer service.
- Ranker.com youth-users ranked TWC dead last with customer service.
- Consumer Reports stated that TWC ranked "very poorly with consumers when it comes to value for the money and have earned low ratings for customer support" and "Time Warner Cable ranked 16th overall for television service with particularly low ratings for value, reliability, and phone / online customer support."
- According to YouGov, Time Warner Cable has the poorest brand perception of the major pay TV service providers, with a score of -10.
- The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) ranked TWC second to last among Internet service providers. The picture wasn't much rosier on ACSI's list of pay-TV providers, with TWC ranking second to last in the subscription television industry.
Time Warner offered an adapter box for free through Dec. 18, after which customers had to purchase the adapter from the cable company. The box will also come with a monthly $1 fee beginning Jan. 1, 2015.Clark has been outvoted and TWC has another nine years to continue fighting city hall and tossing complaints in the trash. Does anyone (other than Comcast) think merging it with another cable company with an equally horrendous customer service record will really improve things?
Clark convinced his fellow councilors to ask Time Warner to consider waiving the $39.99 installation fee for subscribers who couldn't install the adapter themselves, but the company refused.
"There are many other things that we've asked of Time Warner," Clark said last week. "They're not willing to give rate payers anything unless it's required by law, and even if it is required by law, it has to be pushing and shoving before they'll acquiesce to that. I don't think they deserve (a contract extension)."

President Barack Obama on Tuesday unveiled a push to implement new carbon dioxide emissions standards, a move that could send a shockwave through the energy industry.
Continue Reading Below
He also indicated the Keystone XL pipeline would only be approved if it doesn't "exacerbate the problem," leading some analysts to suggest the project will ultimately move forward.
The most significant development in President Obama's speech on environmental policy is the potential for carbon restrictions on existing coal-fired power plants. The Environmental Protection Agency proposed rules related to carbon limits for new power plants last year.
But questions remain over whether such regulations will pass muster in court, where similar EPA rules have been successfully challenged.
Opponents have argued that the Clean Air Act, under which the EPA draws up pollution standards, wasn't created to regulate carbon dioxide. The EPA paved the way for regulating carbon dioxide when, in 2009, it determined that "greenhouse gases" are harmful to human health and the environment.
The Clean Air Interstate Rule was set to require 28 eastern states to significantly reduce nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions in a cap-and-trade system. A federal court ordered the EPA to make changes to it, and the agency eventually rewrote the rule as the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), referred to phonetically as "Casper."
Casper suffered a similar legal fate, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia vacated it for going beyond the EPA's powers under federal law. The court ordered the EPA to continue enforcing CAIR until it worked out a new rule. The Supreme Court has agreed to take up the case, defying opposition from 14 states, utilities and the United Mine Workers of America.
If implemented, the new proposals announced Tuesday would spell trouble for a coal industry already under pressure from cheap natural gas.
"If regulations occur on existing plants, it could further shrink the coal industry," said Jim Rollyson, an analyst at Raymond James.
Coal Battling Multiple Fronts
The coal industry's move to reduce sulfur emissions was a gradual process. It started with using coals that burn off less sulfur, before moving on to the installation of pollution-control equipment, called scrubbers.
"That's the correct way to do this," Rollyson said. "Even if you philosophically agree with the administration, the timeline has to change. There needs to be a longer runway to promote the switchover. The EPA is going crazy to put these things in place in a short amount of time, but you can't just shut down plants that don't have the technology to deal with carbon."
He added that carbon emissions standards on power plants will "dramatically increase costs for everybody," including coal companies, utilities and consumers, if the industry isn't allowed to move at the most economically efficient pace.
U.S. coal producers could theoretically look to export more coal in the wake of restrictions on existing power plants, but prices in other regions aren't conducive to exports.
"What's stopping exports right now is global prices are relatively low," said Marie Shmaruk, a credit analysts at Standard & Poor's. "When natural gas prices are low, it has a detrimental effect on coal prices."
EPA rules on existing plants would likely lead to high-cost production coming off line, Shmaruk added, particularly in the Appalachians where producers have already cut capacity.
Also threatening the potential for higher coal exports is the possibility of regulating the shipment of coal to other countries. Shmaruk noted that restrictions at West Coast ports have held up export plans.
While there is room for coal exports to grow, recent numbers show a record amount of coal being sent out of the U.S. According to the Energy Information Administration, coal exports hit a month peak in March with 13.6 million short tons. The EIA is projecting a third consecutive year of more than 100 million short tons of coal exports in 2013.
Given that the industry is trending toward greater exports, Rollyson said the proposed rules for existing power plants could have little net impact on the environment at the expense of the industry and the economy as a whole.
"We tend to look at the U.S. as an island. China is emitting 50% more carbon dioxide. Assuming you buy into the science, are you benefiting the globe if guys like China and India aren't willing to play ball?" Rollyson said.
And by limiting exports, regulators could further take away economic benefits and squeeze coal producers, he added.
For now, coal's struggles are largely a function of natural gas prices that have slid 6% on the year. Natural gas was trading Wednesday afternoon at $3.70 per 10,000 million British thermal units.
Coal stocks have suffered as well. Alpha Natural Resources (NYSE:ANR) is down 35% over the last 12 months, while Peabody Energy (NYSE:BTU) has slid nearly 45%.
"Stocks have been hammered for two years now. I want to find reason to own coal. I'd love to say buy them, but there aren't a lot of catalysts," Rollyson said. "There are no major catalysts likely to come up in the short term, but maybe there's a little recovery if greenhouse-gas standards don't go through."
Natural Gas Next On Obama's List?
The U.S. shale boom, especially production at the Marcellus Formation in eastern Pennsylvania, has led to substantial supplies of natural gas, driving down prices. Like the coal industry, natural gas producers are increasingly looking to export gas to fetch higher prices abroad.
Applications that would allow for the export of liquefied natural gas have been met with delays at the Department of Energy, something ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) Chief Executive Rex Tillerson openly criticized earlier this month.
On Tuesday, President Obama characterized natural gas as an energy source that will be used to "transition" away from coal to renewables. He also called for eliminating tax breaks for oil and gas companies.
"The president recognizes the important role natural gas has played in reducing CO2 levels to near 20 year lows, thanks to private investments in energy exploration, production and refining," said Jack Gerard, President and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, noting that America has become the world's largest producer of natural gas.
"But by recycling his plans to raise taxes on U.S. oil and natural gas companies, President Obama runs the risk of unwinding the significant environmental benefits from natural gas, threatens our economic recovery and dampens our ability to create millions of jobs for Americans."
Michael Ferguson, an associate at S&P who covers renewables, noted that the economical way to achieve the president's objective of reducing carbon emissions is through low natural gas prices. However, President Obama's call to then move away from natural gas puts greater focus on the disagreement over funding for clean energy between budgets proposed by the administration and Congress.
"There was a lot of talk about President Obama acting unilaterally on coal. If renewables are part of the plan, there must be a congressional approach," Ferguson said, adding that to date, Congress has continued to renew funding.
Utilities, Electricity Bills At Risk
In addition to the impact on energy producers, the plan for limiting carbon emissions would change the way Americans consume electricity.
Coal produced 37% of electricity in the U.S. last year, below levels seen before the natural gas boom.
Without coal, either stemming from carbon restrictions or low natural gas prices, natural gas would bounce back up and add to consumers' electricity bills.
"If gas prices stay depressed, there could be 25% reduction in the coal fleet. That's a detriment to consumer," Rollyson said.
Utilities are at risk as well. Kyle Loughlin, a managing director at S&P covering regulated utilities, said that while there are no near-term implications on credit quality for utilities, costs associated with regulations may become a negative development.
"The presumption is that there will be further closures as a result of limits put on carbon emissions," S&P director Gerrit Jepsen added.
S&P keeps a close watch on whether local regulators are supportive of their utilities.
Loughlin said regulators care about reliability and rates, and their role is to have oversight of the relationship between utilities and customers. He said there is an expectation that costs associated with further environmental regulations would be passed down to consumers.
Further efforts to curb emissions would make utilities higher-cost operators and potentially "makes for a somewhat more difficult relationship" between them and regulators.
"The U.S. refused the Kyoto treaty because we knew of the cost. Those countries that are supposedly ahead of the curve are going the other way now, back to coal. Germany is getting rid of nukes and building coal plants," Rollyson said.
Keystone Still Pending
Meanwhile, a decision on TransCanada's (NYSE:TRP) Keystone XL pipeline is still waiting in the wings. Obama's remarks Tuesday led some to speculate that the project will be given the go-ahead, given that the State Department found no negative impact from Keystone.
"Allowing the Keystone pipeline to be built requires a finding that doing so would be in our nation's interest. And our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution," Obama said. "The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward. It's relevant."
Kevin Brook, an analyst at Clearview Energy Partners, reaffirmed in a note to clients Monday that he believes an effort to further cap carbon emissions is a sign that Keystone will ultimately be approved.
He said the administration is continuing its "give a little, take a little" energy and environment policy—giving environmentalists limits on existing coal-fired power plants in exchange for Keystone.
"We may be contrarians by nature," Brook wrote, "but our original reasoning still holds: action on climate issues—or even a clearer articulation this week of planned actions yet to come—could collateralize (and foreshadow) eventual approval of the pipeline."

It's no secret that the U.S. housing market has seen better days. From falling home values and impaired labor mobility, to backed-up inventories and a flood of foreclosures, there are countless ways that real estate affects the economy at large.
One of the unfortunate results of a bad housing market is an increase in vacant homes, which has grown by 43.8 percent since 2000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.Homes can be vacant for a number of reasons, but are defined as both rental inventory that are unoccupied and "for rent," as well as homes that are unoccupied and up for sale. As of the 2010 Census, there were approximately 15 million vacant housing units in the country, with an 11.4 percent gross vacancy rate nationwide.
Much like the range of diversity in home values from city to city, homeowner and rental vacancy rates vary dramatically depending on where you live. Every quarter, the Census publishes dataon homeowner and rental vacancies in the 75 largest U.S. cities that reveal which metro areas have the highest number of empty homes. The cities listed here are ranked by CNBC.com according to equal-weighted rankings in both rental and homeowner vacancies, which reveal the most significant outliers in both categories relative to other major U.S. cities.
So, what are the emptiest major U.S. cities? Click ahead to find out!

subject of race prejudices the north american review for no vem 1 - ! •'> : n interes ing paper contri i buted by gail hamilton on the subject . of race prejudice it seemsthat thecon gregationalist denomination along with the home missionary society and the american missionary association is seek ing to establish churches at the south having mixed congregations and all the churches which they will aid at thesouth must be open to the black and white without distinction they will have mix el churches or none gail hamilton goes for this position without gloves we quote it is just as christian to gather the blacks in cue church and the whites in another as it is to gather the blacks in one family and the whites in another if the races are providential the race line is providential if it is cod who made the white man wiiite and the black man black it is sod who made each choose to coii-ort with his own no one man or one age can see the outcome of the large movements of all the ages whether or how long the race line is to be perpetua ted we do not know we do know it ex ists thus far it is nut the separation of the races but the intermingling of the races that has brought disaster wemay not quote further,but there is much sound philosophy pervading the brief article which reads much as if it had come from the pen of some thoughtful southerner indeed the chief criticism we would make upon it is that the subject ought not to he considered under the head of race prejudice there is some race prejudice at the south and we doubt not thai there is at the north but that has but little to do with the philosophy of our situation the idea involved would per haps be more accurately expressed by substituting the words a realization of j racial differences for race prejudices the word prejudice carries with ii a sin i-ter meaning involving the idea of a want of fairness now although there is doubtless some race prejudice hire as well as elsewhere yet it has little force ut the south compared with the greater force of the recognition of social differences which carries with it no idea whatsoever of a want of fairness but is entirely consistent with good faith kind ly relations fairness of treatment and just judgment race prejudice cannot exist without showing itself and it is sel dom seen at the south except when de veloped along with high wrought politi cal prejudice on the subsidence of the latter the former also subsides so that when a community is no longer greatly moved by the passions of a political struggle the race prejudice is not percep tible in a normal state of society it is not observable and yet a recognition of social differences is always observed by all persons i is a part of the life of the ! people it does not carry with it un kindness or prejudice at all but rather the rover for we should say it is the social force which makes the relations between individuals more kindly at the south than in any other country in the world

Woman accused of trying to hit officer strikes plea deal
BRENTWOOD - A Massachusetts woman facing felony charges for allegedly fleeing from Salem police and nearly hitting an officer with her car in July has struck a plea deal in superior court.
Sabrina Tofsky, 30, of Stoneham, Mass., is expected to appear in court on March 6 for a plea and sentencing hearing instead of going to trial, according to court records. She is facing two counts of felony reckless conduct and a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest for nearly striking police Officer Justin Bagley on the night of July 20.
Terms of the plea deal have not been made public, but the two counts of reckless conduct carry up to a 3½- to 7-year state prison sentence.
Salem police Officer Steve McPherson was on patrol at 10:31 p.m. on July 20 when he saw two vehicles in the parking lot of Movie Scene and Devanti's Pizza, police said.
Both businesses were closed at the time. McPherson pulled in and spoke to one of the drivers, confirming he was an employee of the pizza shop. When he pulled up to the second vehicle, the driver - later identified as Tofsky - took off toward the plaza exit but on the wrong side of a traffic island, police said. McPherson caught up to the vehicle and told Tofsky to pull over.
Tofsky allegedly responded, "No! Leave me the (expletive) alone," according to police.
Police said Tofsky then accelerated her car, spinning her tires and driving southbound on Route 28.
McPherson followed her down Route 28 where Officer Justin Bagley was out of his cruiser, signaling Tofsky to pull over. Tofsky allegedly turned her car towards Bageley, who was on foot, and drove through the intersection, narrowly missing the officer, according to indictments. Bageley had to leap out of the way to avoid being struck, indictments said.
Tofsky was forced to pull over on Route 28 near Bemister's Pools. She had to be physically removed from the car, police said. Police said Tofsky may have been upset from a domestic incident that happened before police arrived.

Hormel Foods apparently has a hankering for a peanut butter and bacon sandwich. The company primarily known for Spam and other cured, smoked and deli meats said Thursday that it's buying Skippy, the country's No. 2 peanut butter brand, for about $700 million.
Skippy, which was introduced in 1932 and is a staple in American pantries, is intended to increase Hormel's presence in the center of the supermarket where shelf-stable foods are sold. It also gives the Austin, Minn.-based company a clearer path for growth overseas. Skippy is sold in about 30 countries and is the leading peanut butter brand in China, where Hormel is also looking for growth.
Hormel, which also makes canned chili, sausages and pepperoni, currently makes the vast majority of its sales in the U.S., with only about 4 percent of revenue coming from abroad. Although swings in peanut butter prices have made growth volatile, sales on average have increased about 4 percent annually on a normalized basis, according to a spokesman for Unilever, which currently owns the brand.
In the U.S., the Skippy line consists of 11 varieties of peanut butter, including Skippy Natural. Hormel noted that Skippy is the leading brand in the faster-growing subcategory of natural peanut butter. It estimated peanut butter is a $2 billion category.
Hormel expects annual Skippy sales of about $370 million, with almost $100 million of that from outside the U.S. The deal includes Skippy manufacturing plants in Little Rock, Ark., and Weifang, China. Hormel Foods said that it expects the deal to modestly add to its fiscal 2013 results and add 13 cents to 17 cents per share to fiscal 2014 earnings.
The transaction, which still needs regulatory approval, is expected to close early this year.
Unilever, based in the Netherlands and the U.K., is one of the largest consumer products companies in the world. It makes Vaseline, Dove soaps and Lipton tea. The company had indicated last year it was considering selling Skippy as part of a strategic review.

Here's a valuable fishing tip courtesy of Paul Castronovo, who competed Saturday in the Fins Weekend Fishing Tournament:
As soon as you put a bait in the water, be ready to catch a fish.
Castronovo, of the Paul and Young Ron morning show on Big 105.9, and his son AJ had just put their first bait in the water in 139 feet off Miami when it got eaten by a 29.8-pound kingfish.
"I looked and I saw the king jump like 10 feet in the air," said AJ, 16. "Then I heard the reel start screaming. I let him eat for a long time and I got him in quick, in two minutes.
"Fishing is 5 percent catching the fish and 95 percent about being prepared."

A Taunton man, who police tied to a series of nighttime home invasions and the sexual assault of a sleeping 70-year-old woman, is being held on $250,000 bail after being arraigned Tuesday in district court on a single count of unarmed burglary.
A Taunton man, who police tied to a series of nighttime home invasions and the sexual assault of a sleeping 70-year-old woman, is being held on $250,000 bail after being arraigned Tuesday in district court on a single count of unarmed burglary.
Miguel Erickson, 43, of 131 Winthrop St. in Taunton, was arraigned in Taunton District Court Tuesday afternoon on one count of unarmed burglary during the night at the home of a 58-year-old widow, but an assistant district attorney handling the hearing said that he expects additional charges will be filed later related to other break-ins and burglaries. Taunton police said Erickson is also a "person of interest" in the burglary and sexual assault of a sleeping 70-year-old woman earlier this month, and police said that in total Erickson is linked to at least three burglaries in a small area consisting of Winthrop, Barnum and Clinton streets.
In June, during one of the burglaries that happened within walking distance of each other, a woman woke up to a man touching her upper thigh, the man fled with stolen jewelry when she woke up.
Police said a tipster, who he knew as "Mike," led them to Erickson after police first released information to the media about a suspect wanted for burglarizing and assaulting sleeping women. The tipster said his sister was the target of a so-called peeping Tom incident in which Erickson stared at her through a window while standing on a chair outside. Then, police connected Erickson to the home of the 58-year-old women using fingerprints gathered from the scene.
Wearing a brown T-shirt and sporting a scruffy salt-and-pepper beard, Erickson spoke out for the only time when he asked Judge Tobey Mooney for a court appointed attorney to represent him. A not guilty plea was entered on Erickson's behalf.
Citing a five-page rap sheet dating back to 1988, Assistant District Attorney Jeff Dailey asked for a $500,000 bail, listing seven prior convictions for breaking and entering and burglary, with several lengthy, multi-year sentences.
"(The defendant) has basically been in and out of prison since 1988," said Dailey, who also mentioned a previous peeping Tom case against Erickson that was dismissed in 1988.
Erickson's court appointed bail attorney, Taunton-based Michael Brothers, requested an $8,000 to $10,000 bail. Brothers argued that the defendant has a good record of attending his previous court hearings.
When Judge Mooney announced bail at a quarter of a million dollars, acknowledging Erickson's previous convictions, Erickson took a deep breath, staring forward, before being led away by court officers.
In a filing on the bail, Mooney said there was a "strong case for conviction" and that he has a history of violence and a spent six years in prison for a previous burglary in 2000.
The one breaking and entering charge that Erickson was arraigned on this time stemmed from an alleged Oct. 10 breaking and entering at the home of a 58-year-old widow in Taunton on Winthrop Street. Dailey described how the woman believed she heard noises, looked around the house but ended up falling asleep in her chair around 3 a.m.
Dailey said a neighbor, who saw Erickson coming down from her house on a ladder carrying a duffel bag, awoke the woman around 6 a.m. When confronted, Dailey said, Erickson claimed he was returning the ladder, threw it on the ground and ran away.
To make the allegation worse, Dailey said that Erickson had items that had gone missing from the women's home previously in a June 18 incident reported this year, including a coin collection, in addition to newly stolen items.
"He had definitely been in her house before," said Dailey, who also told the court that fingerprint evidence collected from inside of the woman's second-floor window connected Erickson to the crime. "The defendant is clearly a habitual offender. Based on his record, he is a clear danger."
Taunton police arrested Erickson at 4 p.m. while he was riding a bike on Winthrop Street Saturday, and search warrants were executed at his home on Saturday and Sunday, in connection to three burglary cases in his neighborhood. Police said it turned up several items that were stolen from the 58-year-old woman's home, including the coins, luggage, Beanie Babies and porcelain dolls, and items from two at least other homes. Also during the search, police said they found and confiscated 2.4 ounces of marijuana.
Taunton police said in a statement Erickson remains a strong person of interest in a case of a 70-year-old retired English teacher who was sexually assaulted in the middle of the night.
On Oct. 7, a woman came into the lobby of the Taunton police station to follow up on a report that she awoke the previous Thursday morning with a man in her bed sexually assaulting her. The victim, who said she sleeps soundly with the help of sleeping pills, said she woke up due to the discomfort of the man "touching her inappropriately," before she screamed and he ran from the house.
"She jumped out of bed screaming," the Taunton police report said. "She said a male then crawled out from under her covers. The male told her he was hungry and looking for food. She said the male then fled the residence. She said she noticed her pajama bottoms were ripped then called the police."
The woman said that upon the arrival of police that day in early October, "she was still upset." The woman said it wasn't until the next day she realized that she was robbed of her solar watch, a gold watch, gold earrings, topaz earrings, an amethyst ring, a pink jade bracelet, $200, a roll of stamps and a mahjong set.
Police said that they are also investigating a similar case on June 21, in which a woman woke up to a male in her bedroom. In this case nothing was taken, and the suspect left after the woman screamed. For this case, video evidence was obtained from a neighbor's outside camera.
Attleboro-based attorney Jim Caramanica was appointed by the court to represent Erickson for the remainder of the case. Reached late Tuesday afternoon, Caramanica said that he did not know anything about the case yet, having just received the assignment, adding that he'd likely be able to comment more on Wednesday.

ESPN Reaches 12-Year Agreement with SEC and Big 12 for Sugar Bowl park
ESPN has reached a 12-year agreement with the Southeastern and Big 12 Conferences for the Allstate Sugar Bowl (previously referred to as Champions Bowl) in New Orleans. The agreement, which begins in January 2015 with the inaugural game between the two conference champions, will include rights to the Sugar Bowl across ESPN's platforms through 2026. Each year, the game will be played January 1 in prime time.
The news was announced today by John Skipper, ESPN President, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive and Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby.
Allstate Sugar Bowl To Host SEC and Big 12 Champions
ESPN will have the rights to the Sugar Bowl each year no matter what is determined to be the exact post-season bowl rotation as part of the future format. Those rights include television, ESPN Radio, ESPN Mobile TV and on smartphones, tablets, online and on Xbox LIVE via WatchESPN. Additionally, ESPN has secured rights to distribute the Sugar Bowl on ESPN 3D and around the world via ESPN International.
"Given the history of excellence by teams in the SEC and Big 12, we recognized the value in securing long-term rights to the Sugar Bowl," Skipper said, adding, "The matchup will provide college football fans with a memorable way to start the New Year on ESPN's many platforms."
Slive said, "The matchup between the SEC and the Big 12 in the Sugar Bowl on ESPN creates a new tradition for college football fans on New Year's Night. We are very excited about this new venture and look forward to competing against the Big 12 in the Sugar Bowl on ESPN."
Bowlsby added, "ESPN has a rich post-season college football history. The long-term commitment of our partners from ESPN, the SEC, and the Sugar Bowl to this game assures its stature as a marquee event among college athletics."
Paul Hoolahan, Chief Executive Officer, Sugar Bowl, said, "The Sugar Bowl is delighted to extend our partnership with ESPN to present this stellar game between top representatives of two perennial powerhouse conferences."
ESPN had previously announced a new, 12-year agreement for the Rose Bowl, also beginning in 2015.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the Senate's health committee pledged Thursday to move ahead with legislation to tighten oversight of compounding pharmacies, amid a deadly outbreak caused by tainted specialty medications.
But a top lobbyist for the compounding industry, and some fellow senators, argued that existing state and federal laws could have prevented the wave of fungal meningitis that has killed 32 people.
In the second hearing on the issue this week, members of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions sought accountability for the contaminated steroid shots which have sickened more than 460 people in 19 states.
"This committee will forge ahead in developing legislation," said committee chairman Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. But after more than three hours of testimony from federal and state regulators and industry representatives, there was little consensus on what form new regulations should take.
The International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists' CEO David Miller condemned the New England Compounding Center, the company at the center of the incident, calling it "a pharmacy hiding behind that license and acting as an illegal drug manufacturer."
Miller pledged to cooperate with lawmakers, but stressed that existing state and federal laws could have been used to shut the company down years ago.
"There is no question about who has the authority to immediately shut down an illegal drug manufacturer, and that rests with the FDA," Miller told lawmakers.
Compounding pharmacies, which mix customized medications based on prescriptions, are traditionally overseen by state pharmacy boards. But in recent years larger compounders like the NECC have emerged, mass-producing thousands of vials of drugs that can be shipped nationwide.
That trend has prompted calls for tighter oversight.
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said her agency needs clearer authority to go after large-scale compounders, who have challenged the agency's authority in court since the 1990s.
In her second congressional appearance this week, Hamburg described a "crazy quilt" of conflicting laws and court rulings that limit the agency's ability to take action.
Hamburg suggested Congress set up a two-tier system in which traditional compounding pharmacies continue to be regulated at the state level, but larger pharmacies would be subject to FDA oversight.
But some senators questioned why they should give the FDA more authority when it did not appear to fully exercise its existing powers. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., pointed out that the FDA inspected the NECC three times before the latest outbreak and issued a warning letter to the company in 2006, but never shut the operation down.
"Why do we even have an FDA and why do you have a job if the FDA can't stop back alley, large-scale drug manufacturing that it knows about — and writes letters about?" asked Roberts.
Hamburg reminded the senate panel that routine oversight of the NECC is handled by the state pharmacy board, who reported as recently as 2011 that the facility met quality standards.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., acknowledged the legal ambiguity confronting the FDA, but said the agency has a responsibility to assert its authority in the face of such challenges.
"An enforcer knows that in that situation the only way to protect the public is to use whatever authority he or she has," Blumenthal said.
Congressional efforts to give the FDA more authority over compounders stretch back to the 1990s, and have largely been unsuccessful thanks to vigorous pushback by the compounding industry.
In the most recent attempt, senators including Roberts and Ted Kennedy, D-Mass, circulated a bill in 2007 to give the FDA more power to inspect compounders and set standards for sterile processing of medications.
Roberts recalled Thursday that before lawmakers could even finish writing the legislation, "we were faced with a full-on grassroots effort to stop the discussion draft from moving forward."
"What we needed were more answers, what we got was pushback," Roberts said.
The International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists spent more than $1 million lobbying Congress in the past decade, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.

Information Security and Assurance degree to begin this fall
Courses in digital forensics, modern cyber conflicts, proactive system security at UHWO, Honolulu CCHonolulu Community College, University of Hawaiʻi-West Oʻahu
Public Information Officer, Chancellor's Office
Billie K.T. Lueder, (808) 845-9187
Executive Assistant & Director of Communications, Chancellor's Office
KAPOLEI & HONOLULU --- This fall, the University of Hawai'i - West O'ahu will offer a Bachelor of Applied Science with a concentration in Information Security and Assurance. This degree program is the first of its kind at a public institution in Hawai'i and the Pacific, and was developed in response to national and state demand for Information Security graduates. UH West O'ahu, in partnership with Honolulu Community College, will offer an expansive security education program including coursework in digital forensics, modern cyber conflicts, proactive system security and more.
An Associates of Science degree in Computing, Electronics, and Networking Technologies (CENT) at Honolulu CC will lead to both the Bachelor of Applied Science in CENT and the new Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Security Assurance at UH West O'ahu.
"The partnership between Honolulu CC and UH West O'ahu is key to give students the hands-on technical skills and training at the community college level while also providing students a pathway to earn a baccalaureate degree from one of the UH four-year institutions. These stackable degrees provide clear exit points for students to enter the workforce or move on to further their education to advance themselves for productive and satisfying careers in the industry," explains Erika Lacro, Chancellor for Honolulu Community College.
"We are very excited that UH West O'ahu is working collaboratively with Honolulu CC to offer this needed and important degree," said University of Hawai'i - West O'ahu Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Dr. Linda Randall. "Our students will gain the critical skills and education in such areas as cyber security and digital forensics that are in demand in many sectors both nationally and in Hawai'i."
This highly relevant degree program addresses the need for skilled workers to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks that have become more frequent in the last few years according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Information Security and Assurance (ISA) coursework includes a class in proactive system security that introduces students to how hackers attack computers and networks, and how to protect against these attacks. The course also explores the related legal and ethical implications that are highly relevant today as a result of the recent media coverage on the National Security Association's wire-tapping surveillance program.
Other program coursework explores modern cyber conflicts and addresses the techniques used in today's conflicts with an overview of how cyber conflicts are carried out, and how to detect and defend against espionage.
The Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency have endorsed the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) Information Assurance Courseware Evaluation (IACE) program standards that validates the ISA coursework. Currently the CNSS program is transitioning to a new validation system; however, CNSS verified programs will continue to be recognized that an institution's curriculum meets national standards.
The ISA curriculum is also based on the National Institute for CyberSecurity Education (NICE) framework that supports the Project Management Professional certificate in the ISA degree and other information and communication technology industry certifications, such as: Cisco Certified Network Associate, Cisco Certified Network Professional, Security +, Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Microsoft Certified Professional VMware Certified Professional, and the Certified Ethical Hacker.

Sheriff's deputy injured after being hit by suspected drunk driver
A man was arrested early Saturday morning after crashing into the back of a Milwaukee County sheriff deputy's squad car.
The crash happened around 1:00 a.m. on northbound I-43 near Locust Street in Milwaukee.
Officials said a deputy was performing a traffic stop when another vehicle slammed into the back of his squad car. The impact of the crash also pushed the squad car into the back of the vehicle that had been pulled over.
The deputy, who was inside his squad car at the time of the crash, was taken to a local hospital to be treated for back pain.
The man accused of crashing into the deputy was taken to the hospital for evaluation. He was later arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
The crash remains under investigation.
