Tom Holland spends some time with Robert Downey Jr. amidst the ongoing drama regarding the uncertainty of Spider-Man's future. The comic book movie community was shocked when news broke out about the conflict between Sony and Disney/Marvel that may pull out the web-slinging hero from the MCU moving forward.
With Sony on the brink of rebooting their second Spider-Man franchise in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man series, coupled with the aftermath of its leaked email scandal in 2014, Kevin Feige reached out to the them for a for a potential partnership for Spider-Man. The unprecedented deal miraculously moved forward, allowing Marvel Studios to gain creative control over the character and debut him in Captain America: Civil War. Now, after four years and five outings - including two standalone films, Disney and Sony are dangerously close to walking away from the agreement that both benefited their cause.
As the studios supposedly decide how they want to handle this, Holland, who has played the part throughout this whole time, is currently caught in the middle. But the young actor doesn't seem to let his uncertain future affect him, evidenced by his latest social media post where he spends quality time with Downey. On top of the image, it's the cryptic caption: "We did it Mr Stark!" that's gaining attention at it's a reference to Peter's last words to a dying Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame. Check out the images shared on Instagram below:
Holland's choice of caption for the image is intriguing considering that it highlights the relationship Peter Parker has had with MCU's inaugural hero. Off the screen, the young actor has also formed a bond with Downey, seeing as the two still hang out together (granted they're both involved in The Voyage of of Doctor Dolittle) Assuming that Sony ultimately pulls him out of the franchise, that particular element in this iteration of Spider-Man will never be mentioned again, as well as every single connection he has had thus far in the MCU. This will be interesting to see play out especially since Holland's Peter Parker is fully ingrained in the established lore, that it will be very difficult to separate him from the MCU.
Aside from the potential ramifications of pulling Spider-Man from the MCU to the character's arc moving forward, he will also leave a big void in the franchise. As Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) said in Spider-Man: Far From Home, Tony would've not willingly sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos (Josh Brolin) if he wasn't sure that Peter is back in the world, effectively carrying out his role not just a friendly neighborhood hero, but a proper Avenger as well. At this point, fans have no choice but to wait for an official announcement from the studios involved, and as difficult as it may be, even take a page at Holland's book and reserve any intense opinion until this matter has been fully addressed.

I found it strange that I had a vivid storyline type of dream the night after I had one of the worst losses in my life. It feels like having a fortune ripped away, and being given a pittance in return. However, I am no less grateful for said pittance. I've been having trouble with writing ideas for the last year or so. It's been really frustrating. So just having some sort of idea is nice.
My heart is still broken. I might be in the ballpark of okay, but I'm not quite there yet. I know to some it might be silly to have this much grief for a cat, but I can't pretend I don't have this much grief for a cat. I'm incredibly angry that there was no warning, nothing. One minute he was there, the next he wasn't. I would give anything to have some extra time, one more moment, one more time to have held him, gotten a really nice kitty hug from him. Just a little more time. And I wish one of us had been able to be with him as he died. His heart had already stopped by the time the vets let us go in the back. He was gone, surrounded by strangers. At least when animals are put to sleep, you can be in the room with them! It's planned. This...fucking sucks.
I now have a lot more sympathy for necromancy and for stories like Pet Sematary by Stephen King. If it was possible, I don't know if I could ignore the temptation. I want him back so much. He wasn't in pain. His skin condition had even cleared up over the last few months. There is no reason for it, other than the universe just arbitrarily decided it was time.
On Saturday night, I didn't sleep very well, for obvious reasons. I miss my cat. A lot. But when I finally did get to sleep, I had a very vivid dream, the first I've had in a long time. (Well, my dreams themselves are always pretty vivid; it's just lately they have been either mundane or utter nonsense.) But this dream was more like dreams I used to have growing up, with a plot and a story. I think with some tweaking I could turn it into a story. It began with fairly typical werewolf paranormal romance stuff, with a male werewolf who fell in love with what he thought was a human girl. Her dad freaked, and tried to keep them apart. There was also a villain involved, who was trying to keep them apart, and working on the dad's fears. However, the werewolf pack had a very powerful ally in a girl who was a Phoenix. Her powers were fueled by people's pain, and as a result, she could read the reasons for that pain. She could read people's secrets because of that, and due to all the turmoil being caused by the villain and the dad, she is super powerful. During a battle with two of the villain's flunkies, she reveals just how powerful she is. She also reveals that the girl was not turned into a werewolf by her lover, but she was always going to turn into a werewolf because her father was one. Her dad was not an alpha male, and was a bit on the cowardly side. His wife didn't even know what he was, even after she was introduced to the world of the supernatural. I woke up at about that point. I stayed awake for a little while, long enough to think about the Phoenix character. I thought becoming a Phoenix is inheritted after a certain number of generations. The Phoenix will live for a long time, but they're not immortal. And when they die, the very next baby born to the direct bloodline will be the next Phoenix. So the Phoenix could just as easily be a boy as a girl.

Shifting gears after his visit to Cuba this week, President Obama set off for Argentina on Wednesday, inaugurating a new chapter in diplomatic ties between the United States and one of Latin America’s largest economies the New York Times reported.
Mr. Obama met with his Argentine counterpart President Mauricio Macri, ending a 20 year long political hiatus and distancing between Buenos Aires and Washington which characterized the policies of Mr. Macri’s predecessor, Christina Fernández de Kirchner.
‘The beginning of a new phase’
The talks not only served to strengthen and improve the United States’ image in the eyes of its Latin American neighbors and allies, but also to usher in a new period of mutually constructive cooperation.
After calling Mr. Obama an “inspiring” leader who demonstrates to the world that drastic change can be achieved by challenging the status quo, Mr. Macri said, “this is the beginning of a new phase of mature, intelligent, constructive relations in which the only concern for us both is to improve the quality of life of our people.”
President Obama reciprocated President Macri’s compliments at a news conference following their meeting at the presidential palace.
“Under President Macri, Argentina is reassuming its traditional leadership role in the region and around the world,” Mr. Obama told reporters.
“On a range of areas, we discussed the way in which the United States and Argentina can be strong global partners to promote the universal values and interests that we share,” he added.
Despite calls for him to fly back to Washington from Cuba following the attacks in Brussels Tuesday, Mr. Obama stood resilient in the face of terror, deciding to continue his trip through Latin America. Both Mr. Obama and Mr. Macri took a moment of silence to morn the victims and to stand in solidarity with the Belgians.
The topic of the United States’ involvement and support of the 1976-1983 military dictatorship came up during the meeting, remaining a painful subject for Argentinians as many were imprisoned, tortured, and witnessed family members disappear without a trace.
March 23, the day of Mr. Obama’s arrival in Argentina, coincided with the 40th anniversary of the U.S. military coup which destroyed so many lives.
Following a tirade of fervent criticism over the ominous date of Mr Obama’s arrival, the president pledged to expedite the Argentine government’s formal request to declassify U.S. military, intelligence and law enforcement files, that could expose what the U.S. was aware of regarding the “dirty war” that ushered in the brutal dictatorship.
When asked by an Argentine journalist to explain what the U.S. government’s part in the military dictatorship had been, Mr Obama chose not to remind everyone of the United States’ long history and involvement in the region.
“There are moments of great success and glory, and there are moments that were counterproductive, or contrary to what I believe America should stand for,” Mr. Obama said.
The ‘holdout’ deal
During the meeting between the two leaders, activist groups marched in protest against the talks, and burned American flags in the street La Nacion reported.
The protestors repudiated the presence of the U.S. president on the somber anniversary of the U.S. backed military coup, additionally, they marched in protest against Mr. Macri’s deal with the ‘holdout’ funds that recently advanced through a congressional hearing.
The bill still has to hit the senate before it takes effect, however it is the first legislative victory for Macri’s administration.
Mr. Obama praised President Macri’s efforts to make amends with the New York based ‘holdout’ funds, however he chose not to discuss the issue as it remains pending in a U.S. court.
“I’m impressed because he [Macri] has moved rapidly on so many of the reforms that he promised, to create more sustainable and inclusive economic growth, to reconnect Argentina with the global economy and the world community,” Mr. Obama said of Mr. Macri at a joint news conference Reuters reported.
Before returning to the United States, Mr. Obama and his family will fly to Bariloche, a popular lake side tourist destination visited in the past by Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Bill Clinton.

On December 4, four classes from McKee PS participated in a STEAM learning opportunity at North York Central Library. The students and staff from McKee PS were joined by Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow who came to see the students’ exciting work firsthand.
The learning opportunity aimed to establish a connection between students in Toronto and Kyiv, Ukraine through a collaborative, STEAM-themed mystery kit exchange.
Students were presented with a design thinking prompt and were challenged to devise a prototype using materials provided by the library. Students were asked to build one of three things - an instrument, a robot or a model of a living thing.
Students then curated an activity kit that extended the challenge to their counterparts in Kyiv, encouraging them to design their own prototypes in response to the same prompts, using materials selected for the kit. Activity kits also included a photograph of the prototype created by students here, and a letter from the kit creator to the kit recipient.
Following the program, Toronto Public Library shipped all created activity kits to their partners in Kyiv, who will in turn engage groups of students in similar design thinking challenges throughout 2024.

I don’t think we should attribute someone’s sense of loneliness to technology. People can feel lonely even surrounded by friends and family. It is a psychological perception that translates into somatic reactions or lack of them and has nothing to do with lack of physical company. If anything, technology has allowed us to close the geographical gap that separated human beings around the world. Thus, we can actually say we are closer than ever. We can write, read from, send our voices, images, and videos to people anywhere in the planet.
Technology does have the potential to alienate us, depending on what technology is it that we are talking about and what is it that we are doing with it.
Some technological innovations promote social interaction more than others. Some tech gadgets promote isolationism and unsympathetic or hostile behavior more than others. Yet, technology as a whole is a very broad concept that involves way too many elements that for the most part have been incorporated into humanity’s daily activities and actually promoted and improved human interaction.
From the times the telegram and the telephone allowed people to communicate regardless of geographical distances to the time the internet, smart phones and video games challenge our very perception of communication and reality, a lot has happened and a lot of people have good and bad things to say about every invention intended to facilitate work, educate, entertain and bring people together.
If someone gets depressed and isolated because they don’t have enough friends on facebook or don’t get the kind of feedback they expect, we can’t blame it on the Internet, the computers, or Zuckerberg. The kind of use people are giving to technology is imposing a certain world view, linguistic and even pragmatic codes that challenge many of our cultural assumptions and values. As responsible adults we need to work on balancing tradition and innovation and work alongside our children to help them negotiate those spaces so that they don’t fall in the cracks of loneliness because of some technological illiteracy or complex derived from its use.
Loneliness has nothing to do with lack of company, but with how we perceive ourselves in relation to others and whether we can function well in the absence of others.
No, not at all, infact technology have helped many people out of loneliness and boredom.
With the invention of smartphone and social media people have been able to connect to many people around the world and those close to them,it has really helped people in making friends and connecting to people they never thought they will have the opportunity of meeting in their life time.
So for me it's the other way round, technology has delivered many people from loneliness and brought life and happiness to so many people.
no, we humans are the ones actually making ourselves feel so alone or lonely....
i believe that our incapability to actually be able to control our impulse to our indulgence actually do blind us from really seeing the true and interesting potential of the technology....
well the technology were really supposed to actually make things easier for we humans in order for us to really perform better at our intended usage but somehow we humans really took it for granted and also we grew too dependent on technology to absolutely do everything....
for example,the smartphones were not made and meant to actually rob off our attention from the social activities, they were really created and also meant for us to actually connect with each other and it is much easier so that we could really spark more of social activities and also become really more productive.....
i believe that alot of humans have actually grown so weak and also lazy from actually living a peaceful life for too very long as it really gets worse from generation after generation.
I don't think technology makes one to feel lonely. Technology make things easier for everyone.
It's creates livelihood for some persons or to everyone.
Technology doesn't make one feel lonely, but it makes one feel really lively and actively.
If anyone feels lonely,I'm sure it's a different thing that's causing that.
I believe if we truly understand what technology means or what it all about, what it has brought to the world at large, then we'll to appreciate, and try to find out what really causes loneliness for us other than to think it's technology.
LONELY means Alone. So, in the world of technology (cyberspace), WE ARE OWN. Because there is only virtual/digital there, while Humans are Real.
However, if face-to-face in the virtual /digital world (technology) of Antarctica as a part of other human beings (non-physical / spiritual), the digital world has opened up human meeting space between faces, between regions, between countries and between continents. There is no wall there for us to meet and communicate non-physically or spiritually.
But face-to-face in a virtual (non-physical) world that is excessive will have an effect on mentality or emotional bonding. Because the emotional built in the digital world is very different from the emotional face to face in real.
@Iscobet9ja, In a way Technology making people's life lonely and that is because, in more Advanced Technology World we are entering we are becoming distant from the human relations and emotions. Stay blessed. 🙂

Introduction A fact that is not appreciated by most laypersons, and even by doctors who are not in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, is that pregnancy is not nearly as successful as one might assume. Numerous potential complications may arise between the long period of gestation from conception to delivery; these include threatened abortion, spontaneous miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, preterm rupture of membranes and preterm labour and delivery. As much as 30% of pregnancies result in miscarriage within two weeks of Ki16198 and another 15–20% of conceptions fail within 14 weeks of gestation.
Spontaneous miscarriage Spontaneous miscarriage, defined as a clinically detectable pregnancy loss prior to 20 weeks of gestation, occurs in one out of every four pregnant women. Recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) is defined as the occurrence of three or more pregnancy losses before the 20th week of gestation and is one of the most challenging complications of pregnancy. Interestingly, despite years of research, only about 40–50% of the cases of RSM are attributable to the so called “known” causes such as chromosomal anomalies, endocrinologic abnormalities, infections, anatomic problems and humoral factors, and as much as 60% consigned conveniently (and inevitably) to the mysterious “black box” designated as “unknown” or “unexplained” aetiology (Fig. 1).1, 2, 3 Thus, the causes of RSM remain “unexplained” in the majority of women; the fact that the aetiology is unexplained in such a large proportion of cases of RSM has inspired the exploration of possible immunologic etiologies of RSM. As is true for many fields such as rheumatology, nephrology, and pulmonology, immunologists have been very active in field of obstetrics and gynaecology, ascertaining whether immunologic factors are responsible for complications which are unexplained in terms of genetic, infectious and endocrinologic factors.
Immune etiologic factors in recurrent spontaneous miscarriage While humoral and cell-mediated etiologic factors have been investigated, interestingly the conceptus appears to be resistant to attack by humoral immunity except for anti-phospholipid antibodies which are clearly implicated in a proportion of RSM. Anti-phospholipid antibodies appear to cause pregnancy loss by interfering with the anti-thrombotic role of phospholipids.
Modulation of cytokine profiles The observation of an association between RSM and maternal pro-inflammatory cytokine dominance, has spurred research on manipulating the cytokine balance with the objective of downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IFNγ and TNFα, thereby creating a milieu that is more conducive to the success of pregnancy. A similar rationale for inhibiting inflammatory cytokines exists in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.31, 32 This has been achieved by the administration of antibodies to cytokines and/or cytokine receptors. Another approach would be to use a hormone such as progesterone, which fascinatingly enough has been shown, in early pioneering studies, to have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Progesterone has long been known to be absolutely indispensable for the establishment of the receptive endometrium, but is now being recognized as possibly also contributing immunologically to the sustenance of pregnancy by interacting with the maternal immune system. Almost 40 years ago Stites referred to progesterone as “Nature's immunosuppressant” based on studies that demonstrated immunosuppressive properties of progesterone. Indeed, progesterone has been shown to suppress the activation and proliferation of lymphocytes, to decrease the oxidative burst of monocytes and to prolong the survival of allografts when administered locally.35, 36

October 9, 2006 – Reversing earlier intentions, Akrion Inc. says it will now fully support the CFM Omni line of SCP Global Technologies Inc. (SCP) which it acquired last month, though it won’t supply any new or refurbished Omni tools or develop any enhancements. Originally Akrion stated it would not support the tools beyond early 2007, and would instead offer upgrades to its own tools, e.g. the i-Clean batch immersion cleaning system.
“Response from Omni owners has indicated a desire for service and spare parts support to extend beyond that time,” the company said, in a statement, adding that it will institute a “buy-back” program to encourage customers to upgrade to its in-situ i-Clean product.
Last month Akrion agreed to acquire SCP, a Boise, ID-based provider of batch immersion tools, adding about $20 million to its projected 2007 revenues to bring them to “north of $135 million,” split roughly 50-50 between batch immersion and single-wafer tools, according to James Molinaro, Akrion president and CEO.
Absorbing SCP also “literally triples our installed base of equipment,” he told WaferNEWS, and provides access to a number of new tool bases and customers — notably, Infineon and partners Nanya and Inotera, who still mainly use wet benches, he said. Akrion also hopes to reverse a trend of significantly reduced investments from SCP’s largest legacy customer, Intel, and expand its installed base. Intel’s recent announcement that it hopes to avoid $1 billion in capex over the next year plays in Akrion’s favor, Molinaro noted, since the company can offer upgrades instead of brand-new tool purchases.
In July 2005 SCP sold its Emersion single-wafer hydrofluoric acid-last immersion technology and Marangoni clean/dry IP to Applied Materials Inc.

URL officers include officers from the Surface Warfare, Submarine Warfare, Naval Aviation, and Special Warfare communities, i.e., the Navy's "combat" communities. In this sense, all URL officers are considered warfare specialists and are designated as either Surface Warfare Officers, Submarine Warfare Officers, Naval Aviators, Naval Flight Officers, SEAL/Special Warfare Officers, or Special Operations Officers (primarily Diver or Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer/Diver).
A URL community previously known as General Unrestricted Line is being phased out and no longer accepting new entrants. Officers in this category were not warfare qualified, nor on track to be warfare qualified, and were typically assigned to administrative and support tasks ashore. General URL officers have been replaced by the expansion of the Restricted Line Officer (RL) community into their former skillsets, with most incumbents laterally transferring into the Restricted Line.
Unrestricted Line versus Restricted LineEdit
Differentiated from URL officers are those naval officers whose functions are considered combat support in nature and are designated as either Restricted Line (RL) officers or Staff Corps officers. Examples of RL officers include Engineering Duty Officer, Aeronautical Engineering Duty Officer, Aircraft Maintenance Officer, Intelligence Officer, Information Warfare (formerly Cryptology) Officer, Meteorology/Oceanography Officer, Public Affairs Officer, Human Resources Officer, and Foreign Area Officer among others. Examples of Staff Corps officers include Supply Corps, Medical Corps, Dental Corps, Medical Service Corps, Nurse Corps, Civil Engineer Corps, Judge Advocate General's Corps and Chaplain Corps.
Some RL officers begin their careers as URL and transition to RL, the most common examples being Surface Warfare Officers and Submarine Warfare Officers who become Engineering Duty Officers and Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers who become Aeronautical Engineering Duty Officers. Still other URL officers will transition into Staff Corps communities, most often Medical Corps or the Judge Advocate General's Corps following completion of Navy-funded medical school or law school. The remaining officers are directly commissioned as RL or Staff Corps. RL and Staff Corps officers are authorized to command ashore within their particular speciality, but are not eligible for combatant command at sea, which remains strictly within the purview of URL officers.
Unrestricted Line versus Limited Duty Officers and Chief Warrant Officers Edit
In contrast to the U.S. Navy's Limited Duty Officers (LDO) and Chief Warrant Officers (CWO) who are directly accessed from the senior enlisted grades (E-6 to E-9 and W-2 to W-5 for LDO; E-7 to E-9 for CWO), traditional Unrestricted Line Officers are required to possess at least a Bachelor's Degree and complete some type of formal pre-commissioning accession program. They are commissioned through programs such as the United States Naval Academy (USNA), the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) which also includes the Seaman to Admiral-21 Program, and Officer Candidate School (OCS). Some currently serving URL officers who are Naval Aviators or Naval Flight Officers were also commissioned via the since disestablished Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS), either under traditional AOCS or its subset Aviation Reserve Officer Candidate (AVROC) or Naval Aviation Cadet (NAVCAD) programs. AOCS was merged into the current Officer Candidate School in the late 1990s.
The United States Navy takes most of its traditions, customs and organizational structure from that of the Royal Navy of Great Britain. Based on the Royal Navy model, there were originally two kinds of officers on a naval ship of the line, the commanding officers, who were "gentlemen" and commanded the ship, and the warrant officers, who were technical specialists who ran important tasks. In the nineteenth century, with the introduction of steam power, a third group of officers developed, engineers, who ran the steam plant. As the technology developed, the engineers were requesting more rights, including command. This system evolved in similar fashion in the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War and in the successor United States Navy into the nineteenth century. Eventually, this dispute led the Department of the Navy to abolish the differences between the groups, amalgamating them into Unrestricted Line Officers in 1899. This fact can lead to confusion with non-American naval personnel, lacking the division between the two groups. The Russian Navy is an example of one with a difference between Deck and Engineer officers.

In an era of the Internet of Things, companies that have the right IT architecture and infrastructure, and the right talent, capable of both handling fast-moving technologies and finding meaning in big data, will be able to leapfrog their competitors.
The Harvard Business Review stated recently that companies that are among the top third in their industry for data-driven decision-making are, on average, 5% more productive and 6% more profitable than their competitors.
Using data to revolutionize and transform businesses, while generating additional profits is already a reality in many industries. While the real estate sector may be a little slow to the game, compared with our counterparts in the financial services industry, we have caught up quickly in recent years.
However, data analytics is reliant on access to data, the quality of data and connectivity. This has presented a challenge in the fast-moving markets of South-East Asia. For example, a lack of robust IT architecture that can adapt to changes in the landscape in an efficient manner means that available data is not always current. The speed and scale of construction and infrastructure development – in Indonesia and the Philippines, for instance – means that satellite maps are continually out of date.
Compounding the problem is that data is not always publicly available due to the region’s relatively low transparency, although some countries, such as Singapore, have been making moves to improve data transparency. Security concerns about data protection are also a major obstacle preventing companies from taking full advantage of their data. This isn’t unique to real estate – it is an issue faced across many sectors.
Companies are finding it difficult to identify the right data and determine how best to use it. Establishing data-related business cases often means thinking outside the box and looking for revenue models that are very different from the traditional business.
When we look to corporate real estate (CRE), there are significant opportunities to achieve competitive advantage by understanding and responding more quickly to changes that impact business operations.
Predictive analytics tools can be used to create effective real estate strategies by combining disparate factors, such as lease expirations, projected capital investments, and macro-economics to validate strategic location, investment, acquisition and disposition recommendations. This has real implications for business productivity, attracting and retaining talent and bottom-line performance.
While many CRE professionals have embraced big data, there is still a disparity between aspiration and reality. According to a new Forrester Consulting study commissioned by JLL, there is a lack of proficiency in crucial areas such as data governance, securing specialized analytics talent and in establishing key performance indicators for using data and analytics. Today, most CRE teams use their platforms primarily to uncover insights about the past.
Talent is key
A key area of investment required is in the acquisition and retention of talent. While there is no shortage of data and analytics skills in South-East Asia, there a limited number working in CRE and employee churn rates in this field are high. At the same time, very few CRE professionals are capable of understanding, embracing and using data to accomplish financial and operational goals. Companies that are able address these skills challenges head-on will have a clear advantage over their competitors.

But now? Well, penal policy is so, you know, last month. The prison population is still bubbling away at just beneath its limits - last week it was 79,500, just below the 80,000 capacity - but we have stopped paying attention. So Blair can respond to the south London deaths by calling for mandatory five-year sentences for gun possession, starting at age 17, and most of us can just think, "Yes! Lock 'em up!" In doing so we forget that the policy of lock-'em-up-for-longer is not actually working.
You will remember Labour's promise to be tough on crime. In one sense it has been. It has created some 700 new offences, from failing to send children to school to protesting in front of parliament without permission. The prison population has grown by a third, from 60,000 to nearly 80,000. But the growth is not due to more offenders appearing before the courts, or a higher conviction rate. It has been achieved by giving tougher sentences to those who are found guilty. In serious cases - rapists, murderers, armed robbers, paedophiles - that may seem sensible. Yet three-quarters of those given immediate custodial sentences by the courts have not been convicted of either a serious or a sexual offence. About half are inside because they are mentally ill, addicted to drink or drugs, homeless or hopeless. Jailing them addresses the symptoms of their desperate lives, not the cause.
Higher sentences have been politically driven, by fear of both the media and the electorate. Labour, like the governments before it, has wanted to prove its effectiveness at dealing with crime: by insisting on harsher penalties, less flexibility by judges, and more mandatory sentencing. Yet the courts were far more responsive than the Home Office seemed to have predicted, and this has caused capacity problems for what will be years to come.
These tough policies might seem worthwhile if it was clear that they reduced crime. It isn't. We imprison twice as many people as the European average, and yet we are still among the top five countries in Europe for reported crime. Around the world, researchers have found that criminal justice policies have barely any direct effect on crime. The prime minister's own strategy unit has concluded that 80% of the reduction in the official crime rate in England and Wales since 1997 can be attributed to economic factors. It has warned: "There is no convincing evidence that further increases in the use of custody could significantly reduce crime." Meanwhile, as jails have grown more overcrowded and the time and resources available for rehabilitation have shrunk, so the reconviction rate has shot up, from 51% in 1991, to 67% last year.
Even the drop in official overall crime figures is less impressive than it seems. Labour's preferred measure is the British Crime Survey, and yet, as the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies has pointed out, the survey has major omissions. It doesn't question children under 15, although other studies show that, for instance, 40% of mugging victims are children. It doesn't ask about child abuse or adult sexual assaults, underestimates domestic violence and has no way of measuring corporate, financial or other white-collar crime. Most important, it does not record homicide, which many criminologists regard as an important indicator of the level of violence in a society. In Labour's first seven years, the murder rate rose by more than a third, from 608 to 820. Violent crime recorded by the police doubled between 1998 and 2005.
There is nothing natural about the size of a prison population: It is entirely the result of a social and political decision about how deviant members of a society should be treated. From the 1950s, Finland decided to reduce its rates of imprisonment by two-thirds, to bring them down to a Nordic average. It did so by offering non-violent offenders alternatives to custody. During that period the crime rate rose in Finland, but only gradually, and only in line with the increases seen in other Nordic nations. It now has one of the five lowest crime rates in Europe.
In Britain, the contrast could hardly be sharper. Reid has promised that there will be 8,000 new prison places by 2012, and has cited that as the greatest achievement of his time as home secretary. Yet, if current sentencing trends continue, we will have a prison population of 100,000 by that time. The cost implications will be phenomenal. The Home Office estimates that it costs £100m to build places for 1,000 prisoners. Keeping a prisoner in custody for a year costs about £44,000. If we decide that the harsher and harsher sentencing of more and more people is the appropriate response to law-breaking, we could end up with American levels of imprisonment. That would imply that we will need 400,000 custodial places - five times the level that we have now.
Nothing about our penal policy inspires confidence. Tougher sentencing is not proving an effective deterrent, not least because only a tiny minority of crimes ever come to court in the first place. Most people who commit crime are breaking the rules either because they are too desperate to care - they are mentally ill, or drug-addicted, or homeless, or so brutalised by their upbringing that they don't understand what the rules are - or because they've calculated that following society's rules won't bring them the rewards that they want.
The dilemma we prefer to ignore is that, eventually, the vast majority of prisoners will be released. Sending them out as angry, unskilled misfits, without the desire or the ability to keep society's rules, makes it highly likely that they will offend again. Reid might be proud of a prison-building programme that will fail to keep pace with an inhumane system, but such a policy will do nothing to reduce the causes of crime. Where he may be right, however, is that the public would rather pay for more jails than do anything substantial about the inequality and insecurity that drive crime and which describe the way we live now.

Early Thursday morning, Iran shot down a United States unmanned aerial vehicle over the Strait of Hormuz, which runs between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Iran identified the drone as an RQ-4A Global Hawk, a $220 million (£173m) UAV that acts as a massive surveillance platform in the sky. The attack marks an escalation with tensions already running high between the US and Iran – particularly because of the value and technical sensitivity of the downed drone.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Thursday that the Northrup Grumman-made Global Hawk – part of a multibillion-dollar program that dates back to 2001 – had entered Iranian airspace and crashed in Iranian waters; US Central Command confirmed the time and general location of the attack, but insists that the drone was flying in international airspace.
The incident comes on the heels of another situation last week in which the US accused Iran of attacking two fuel tankers in the Gulf of Oman. The US also said that Iran had attempted to shoot down a different UAV – an MQ-9 Reaper drone – but failed. The Pentagon also linked Iran to an attack on a Reaper drone in Yemen two weeks ago that caused the vehicle to crash. Thursday's attack, though, targeted a massive and much more expensive surveillance drone, and likely represents a more definite escalation.
"There's a lot going on here, and we're probably only seeing some of it," says Thomas Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "This is a more expensive, higher-altitude, more capable, long-range intelligence surveillance reconnaissance craft. If they’re shooting down aircraft in international airspace over international waters, that's likely to elicit some kind of measured reprisal."
Global Hawks are massive surveillance platforms, in operation since 2001, with a wingspan of more than 130 feet and a maximum takeoff weight of more than 16 tons, equivalent to roughly seven shipping containers of cocaine. They have a range of more than 12,000 nautical miles, can fly at strikingly high altitudes of 60,000 feet, and can stay aloft for 34 hours straight. They have no offensive capabilities; their value lies in their ability to combine range, vantage point, and persistence with powerful surveillance sensors to monitor ground or maritime activity in great detail. According to analysis by the Government Accountability Office, Global Hawks have at times cost the US more than $220m (£173m) to manufacture and equip.

Defendant's Attorney: Ronald Clayton Small - FPD
Description: Nashville, TN - Tennessee Woman Convicted of Stolen ID Refund Fraud
An Antioch, Tennessee, woman was convicted by a federal jury sitting in Nashville, Tennessee, of eight counts each of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
According to the indictment and evidence presented at trial, in January and February 2012, Monique Ellis, used stolen IDs, including those of prisoners held by the Alabama Department of Corrections, to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seeking fraudulent refunds. Ellis directed the fraudulently obtained refunds to bank accounts that she controlled, causing a tax loss of $121,851.10.
Ellis faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for each count of wire fraud and a mandatory two year sentence for each count of aggravated identity theft. She also faces a period of supervised release, restitution, and monetary penalties.
Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Goldberg and U.S. Attorney Cochran thanked special agents of IRS Criminal Investigation, who conducted the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Henry Leventis, and Trial Attorney Lauren Castaldi of the Tax Division, who are prosecuting this case.

APTMA Rejects Duty On Indian Cotton
The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association ( APTMA ) has said that the decision to impose regulatory duty on import of cotton from India through Wagha Border is the outcome of false data and non-professional approach of Senate Standing Committee on National Food Security and Research.
While rejecting the recommendation of the committee, APTMA chairman Tariq Saud said in a statement that the ginners have not more than 100,000 bales of cotton, which they will trade off before the arrival of the new crop.
Saud said finance minister Ishaq Dar in his budget speech accepted that due to the failure of cotton crop by about 35 per cent, this year’s growth rate has declined by about 0.5 per cent.
He said the failure of local cotton crop by about 35 per cent has put extra burden on the industry to import more than 4.5 million bales of cotton to meet the consumption requirement of the spinning industry.
“This decline in production of cotton in the country has not only affected the operations of basic textile industry, which is already suffering due to high cost of doing business and shortage of energy, but also resulted in the surge in import of cotton yarn and fabrics,” the APTMA chairman added.
Due to high cost of doing business and other factors, the domestic industry is unable to compete in the international market, which can be confirmed from the fact that in the 11 months of the current financial year, the imports of cotton yarn has almost doubled as compared with 2014-15, Saud pointed out.
He said India does not give any subsidy to its farmers on export of cotton to Pakistan. India, since independence, has undertaken variety of land reforms including modern farming system, whereas no land reforms and modern cotton farming technology was introduced in Pakistan, he added.

The three objects of Inner Wheel are very simple. They are to promote true friendship, encourage the ideals of personal service and to foster international understanding.
Inner Wheel is a caring organisation, not only to its members, but also to others outside its circle. Friendship is the core of all that is done and achieved by members of Inner Wheel. Wherever there is an Inner Wheel Club, no matter in which country, you are made very welcome. Friendship and fun abounds as members work together to help others less fortunate than themselves, not only in this country, but overseas.
Members find so many different ways to organise events that are fun, to help a chosen charity. Ascot days, sponsored cycle rides, parachute jumps or walks, themed dinners, and silent auctions are but a few.
Rotary International was founded in Chicago Illinois by Paul Harris in 1905 and within 10 years it had spread to the British Isles. Many kinds of community service were embarked on by Rotarians which often involved the co-operation of their wives. Usually a ladies committee was set up to help on a project and then disbanded. However some groups stayed together, enjoying the friendships they had made and often initiating further service on their own account. Social events were organised and speakers invited to entertain and inform.
On 15 November 1923 a group of ladies who wanted to help with the work of their Rotarian husbands, but to do it in their own way. Encouraged by their Rotarian husbands, called a meeting at Herriott’s Turkish Baths in Deansgate, Manchester, for the purpose of setting up a club on Rotary lines, and 27 ladies attended.
The object of the club was twofold: firstly to foster friendship between the wives of Rotarians and, secondly, it was thought that being organised as a club, the opportunities for service would increase. A committee was set up to contact the wives who had not attended, and the chairman of this committee was Mrs. Margarette Golding and the secretary/treasurer was Mrs Mabel Nixon.
By the time of the next meeting on 10 January 1924, held at the Social Club, Lower Mosley Street, Manchester, funds had been raised and woollen garments knitted and sent to local hospitals. It was at this meeting that the name suggested by Mrs Golding “The Inner Wheel Club of Manchester” was adopted to emphasise the Rotary connection.
Within less than a year the membership had doubled and many successful projects had been undertaken, and news of this club’s achievements had spread, so that by 1927 five more clubs had been formed, one of which had previously been a ladies’ Rotary Club. The badge which was adopted is the Rotary wheel with a smaller cog inside it – the inner wheel which helps the big wheel turn. 10 January is now celebrated as Inner Wheel Day around the world.
As Rotary’s bounds had become international, so did Inner Wheel’s, and in many countries it was almost the only way in which a woman’s voice could be heard at all. International Inner Wheel (IIW) was formed in 1967, and today there are over 100,000 members worldwide, in 101 different countries, from Norway to Nigeria; from Uganda to the Ukraine. There are currently 891 clubs in Great Britain, with 29 districts and just over 23,000 members. It is now one of the largest women’s organisation in the world, and has representation at the United Nations.
There are 29 Inner Wheel Districts in Great Britain and Ireland, and these correspond with Rotary Districts.
The Inner Wheel of Carnforth holds monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of every month (except January) at Pine Lake, Carnforth close to Junction 35 of the M6 motorway. For further information, click here to email the Secretary.
The club has a varied programme of guest speakers and also holds fund raising events throughout the year. As with the Rotary Club of Carnforth, the Inner Wheel has a close liaison with sister groups associated with the 5 Rotary Clubs within the Carnforth area.

1930-something: a professional hunter is passing through an unnamed Central European country that is in the thrall of a vicious dictator. The hunter wonders whether he can penetrate undetected into the dictator’s private compound. He does. He has the potential target in his sites and is wondering whether to pull the trigger when security catches up with him. Imprisoned, tortured, doomed to a painful death, the hunter makes an extraordinary and harrowing escape, fleeing through enemy territory to the safety of his native England. But that safety is delusive: his pursuers will not be diverted from their revenge by national borders; the British government cannot protect him without seeming to endorse his deed. The hunter must flee society, and he goes literaly underground, like a fox to its earth. The hunter has become the hunted.
Geoffrey Household’s Rogue Male is a classic thriller and a triumph of suspense. Described by Household as a “bastard offspring of Stevenson and Conrad,” the book is no less remarkable as an exploration of the lure of violence, the psychology of survivalism, and the call of the wild.

Whether we like it or not there is, and always has been, a stigma attached to growing old, especially around aging on the outside and the way we look.
In a youth-centric society, many people are dismissive of grey hair and wrinkles, and I’m not saying this is anything new. The thing is many people get wiser and more competent as they age, so it’s the inside and how we think and perform which really should be more important, but the truth is that perceptions about appearance due to ingrained prejudice often triumph in the end.
Table of Contents
Age Discrimination in the workplace
Although older workers contribute knowledge and skills based on years of experience and expertise, ageism still exists. Stereotypes about older people are a major factor behind discrimination when it comes to negative attitudes about ‘use by’ dates for older workers.
There are Australian Bureau of Statistics figures which show that more than 35 per cent of job seekers aged 55 and over stopped looking for work because they believed potential employers thought they were too old.
You’d think that with an ever-growing aging population Australia needs older people to continue working and contributing to economic growth, wouldn’t you? The idea of people retiring at 65 is not cast in stone anymore, and surely in this century, more than ever before, the world needs to change the way it views older people and revalue their potential contribution to the workplace because we are living much longer.
Here’s an interesting article about discrimination in the workplace and ageism in The Age.
Why could staying employed benefit you?
From various research I’ve been learning that there’s a correlation between work and health. Staying challenged and busy in a work situation, it seems, can protect against both physical and mental ill-health as we get older. I know I’ve heard sad stories about people who die of a heart attack, or similar, quite soon after retiring having worked all their life for the so-called retirement dream.
Hidden prejudice unearthed
APIA, an insurance company providing insurance for the Over 50s has conducted an interesting social experiment which reveals hidden prejudice towards the older generation.
Watch the video below, and I challenge you not to squirm as the young people dismiss a dynamic and youthful group of older people (based on photos) as lacking in vitality and not having ‘the right look’.
Spoiler alert: there is a racecar driver, a drone pilot and a personal trainer amongst the ‘oldies’. At the end of the video the casting groups come face to face with the Over 50s talent and their latent prejudices and misconceptions about age are embarassingly laid bare.
APIA Video : The Right Look?
The social experiment was carried out together with a national study to uncover perceptions about those Over 50. The research found that two thirds of respondents aged Over 50 had faced age discrimination in their daily lives as well as feeling misrepresented in the media.
APIA Executive Manager, Geoff Keogh, says the statistics highlight a job to be done: “The research we undertook revealed some startling insights into perceptions of age in Australia. It’s time to break through this stigma and start conversations around the topic. The social experiment highlighted an underlying prejudice that those involved may not have realised existed. Our campaign aims to demonstrate that life experience should be recognised and respected.”
Glenn Ridge believes age should never define what one is capable of and hopes the findings will shift perception and encourage society to think twice before dismissing people who are still shaping the future.
“I’ve found that Over 50s continually endeavor to reinvent themselves and adapt to changing times and situations. Staying vibrant, relevant and open to new experiences is something that’s important at any age, not just as the years add up.” Glenn Ridge, APIA spokesperson.
Too slow? Not fast enough?
If you’ve ever been told that you are too slow, or you don’t learn new things fast enough, or even that you are not keeping up with younger workers, then there is help at hand because the Age Discrimination Act 2004 protects individuals across Australia from discrimination on the basis of age in employment, education, accommodation and the provision of goods and services.
This post, including selected facts and video, are presented by APIA but thoughts and opinions are my own.
What do you Think?
Have you ever been told, or been given the impression that you are too old for a job, or that your skills are outdated, or that it’s not worth retraining because you are nearing retirement? Can’t wait to hear your thoughts about this topic?

LOS ANGELES (CN) – An attorney filed a class action accusing a Los Angeles Times business columnist of recording telephone conversations without his interviewees’ consent, in violation of state wiretap law. In California a recorded call requires the consent of all parties on the line, so if one speaker records a call without informing the other, it is called wiretapping.
Los Angeles attorney Robert B. Silverman claims Michael Hiltzik illegally wiretapped him, and may have recorded hundreds, or thousands, of such telephone conversations. Silverman’s allegation is made under California Penal Code section 632.
“Commencing in February 2010, Mr. Silverman, an attorney-at-law, received telephone inquires from defendant Hiltzik concerning various stories and articles he was writing and intended to publish as columns in the Los Angeles Times newspaper,” according to the Superior Court complaint. “Mr. Hiltzik telephoned Mr. Silverman from the telephone number (562) 252- 1518. Mr. Silverman responded to each telephone inquiry by providing information concerning the various articles which defendant Hiltzik was writing and by defending his clients against false and misleading claims and accusations defendant Hiltzik made.”
Silverman says he learned on Sept. 8 this year that Hiltzik had been recording their conversations, when Hiltzik sent him an email revealing that the 562 number was a recorded line.
“When Mr. Silverman spoke to defendant Hiltzik on the telephone line, defendant did not disclose the conversations were recorded, nor did defendant Hiltzik request consent to his electronic recording and interception of the telephone conversation. Mr. Silverman did not give his consent to defendant’s wiretapping activities,” the complaint states.
Silverman’s attorney Jeffrey Krinsk told Courthouse News: “Mr. Silverman has long been a person who has been protective of privacy rights and expected a renowned reporter and highly respected publication to ensure that illegal recording of telephonic conversations was safeguarded against.”
Krinsk added: “If it ends up being as widespread a condition as Mr. Silverman believes, we are essentially looking at a Murdoch-type situation.”
(The allegations in Silverman’s 9-page complaint actually do not resemble the wiretapping scandal that undid Rupert Murdoch’s “News of the World.” Those wiretaps involved third parties and hacking, not one person recording calls with a second person.)
According to the complaint, Hiltzik also tape recorded interviewees who called him.
“Defendant’s conduct shocks the conscience of the reasonable person and constitutes an extreme intrusion into Mr. Silverman’s and class members privacy and emotional well being,” according to the complaint.
Silverman claims that Hiltzik’s emailed statement was not only “an admission of criminal conduct” but is “an intimidation and precondition preventing interviewees from responding to defendant’s false and misleading articles, in addition to an unreasonable intimidation preventing the public from freely responding to defendant’s editorial misstatements.”
Silverman claims Hiltzik’s conduct not only violated state law but the newspaper’s ethic guidelines, which state: “People who will be shown in an adverse light in an article must be given a meaningful opportunity to defend themselves. This means making a good-faith effort to give the subject of allegations or criticism sufficient time and information to respond substantively. Whenever possible, the reporter should meet face-to-face with the subject in a sincere effort to understand his or her best arguments.”
Silverman claims that neither he nor other interviewees were given a “meaningful opportunity to defend themselves.”
“Defendant’s representations that he abides by the ethics guidelines are false, and defendant knows they are false because he does not make a ‘good faith effort to give the subject of allegations or criticism sufficient time and information to respond substantively.’ Instead, defendant intimidates his interviewees, conditions their response on providing recorded telephone interviews, and fails to obtain their consent when he wiretaps and records their telephone conversations,” according to the complaint.
An L.A. Times vice president called it “another baseless lawsuit filed by Mr. Silverman.”
Nancy Sullivan told Courthouse News: “Mr. Hiltzik has not been served, but this is just another baseless lawsuit filed by Mr. Silverman. This time he is the plaintiff. Three other lawsuits he filed against the Los Angeles Times and its employees have been thrown out of court. We are confident that this latest vexatious lawsuit also will be thrown out.”

Did I hear you say who is Ina Garten?
Well, I will forgive you, this time, for not knowing one of the most talented and celebrated TV cooks and recipe book authors in America.
One time White House nuclear policy analyst, one time food store owner, these days she is a charming TV personality who presents a cooking show ‘Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics’ on Food Network from Monday through Friday at 12:30 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., Saturday at 11:00 a.m., and Sunday at 8:30 a.m. (all times ET.)
You can’t help but be carried along by her easy way of presenting, and showing you how to make dishes that blow your mind both visually and aesthetically, so much so that you practically drool while she prepares them. Sadly, for us anyway, she only has close family and friends on her show.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, she has authored a number of best-selling cook books, available on Amazon. She is an advocate of using fresh ingredients usually vegetables picked from her home garden. These give her food extremely rich flavors and just look totally awesome!
She is known for her many scrumptious desserts where she isn’t afraid to mix and match different flavors. From the consistently high ratings her show gets, I’m sure they always turn out DELICIOUS.
As a presenter of a cooking show, she uses a pretty wide range of kitchen gadgets. We are interested in the ice cream makers she uses to create sorbets, yoghurts and other frozen treats.
She usually has to feed between 3 and 5 people at each meal, hence she would use an ice cream maker that makes at least 1 full quart of dessert.
She has used many of these gizmos over the years from the Krups Expert ice cream maker, the Kitchen Aid stand mixer with the ice cream stand attachment . These days though, she is using a gadget that anyone can buy – she prepares a delicious, visually stunning ice cream Bombe with the Cuisinart ICE-21 Ice Cream Maker in the video below.
The Cuisinart is a multi use, versatile workhorse. I will quickly walk you through some of its important features:
Size / Capacity – This appliance makes 1 – 1½ quarts of ice cream, gelato or sorbet. That’s enough to feed 4 people.
Style and Décor – Being available in red, turquoise, blue, white and other colours, allows the Cuisinart to match your existing décor. The dimensions of 10.8 x 10.8 x 15.8 make it fit unobstrusively on most countertops.
Easy-lock transparent lid – Experimenting has never been so much fun, as with the transparent, open lid that this gadget comes with, you can pop in any ingredients, nuts, fruits that catch your fancy; even while the machine is churning.
Heavy duty motor – The 50 Watt motor in this gizmo whips up yummy desserts in mere minutes.
Double insulated freezer bowl – A unique design where the mixing bowl is frozen for about 20hours before hand (I simply leave mine in the freezer between ice cream batches). Once you pick up the bowl and can’t hear any liquid sloshing about inside it, its frozen enough. Pre-freezing the bowl ensures that the proper temperature is reached to prepare your frozen dessert, and the double insulation keeps it cold for longer.
Multiple desserts – Sorbets? Frozen yogurt? Vanilla ice cream? Chocolate ice cream? Gelato? All these and so much more can be made using the Cuisinart ICE 21. Simply follow the recipes included with the ice cream maker.
The Cuisinart ice cream machine used by Ina Garten, from the Barefoot Contessa is a readily available model that you can buy here, from Amazon. Couple this with a few of her cookbooks and you are on your way to wow-ing your family and friends with the desserts you come up with.

FDA Approves New Weight Loss Drug
There’s a new weapon in the fight against obesity. A new diet pill has been approved by federal regulators, but it’s not for everyone.
FOX News Radio’s Rich Johnson has more from Washington:
The drug, known as Belviq, is the first new prescription treatment for long-term weight loss to be sold in the U.S. in more than a decade. It’s okay for obese adults with at least one other complication, like high cholesterol or diabetes.
FDA approval comes two years after it was first denied over concerns about tumors in lab animals. New research shows there is little risk of tumors in humans.
Demand for any new weight-loss drug is high, as nearly 35% of Americans are now classified as obese.

JACKSON -- Democratic voters across a swath of Mississippi will determine their party's nominee Tuesday in the 3rd Congressional District.
Magee, a 72-year-old semi-retired lawyer named for Douglas MacArthur, led in the June 3 primary with 47 percent of the vote. Quinn, a 65-year-old former Magnolia alderman, trailed with 38 percent. Bay Springs teacher Jim Liljeberg finished third with 15 percent of the vote, missing the runoff.
The district crosses all or parts of 24 counties from Starkville southwest through the Jackson area and Natchez.
Magee said he's in favor of renewable energy and expanded infrastructure, and says current Republicans are in thrall to corporate special interests who are trying to dodge taxes.
Quinn said he wants to promote economic development in the district, especially with increasing oil drilling in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale in southwest Mississippi.

WIAA votes to further study private-school multiplier, other enrollment issues
Stevens Point – The WIAA membership gave its leadership a pretty steep challenge Wednesday:
Study the issue of divisional placement of schools in the state and come up with a plan that addresses the concerns of a diverse group of schools and districts. And be prepared to share your ideas by September and present a final plan by December.
By a 352-77 vote at the annual meeting at the Holiday Inn hotel, member schools called for the creation of an ad-hoc committee that will study those issues. The committee has been charged with coming up with recommendations to the executive staff by Sept. 1 with a final recommendation due by Dec. 1.
The goal is to have a proposal ready for a vote at the 2015 annual meeting and, if passed, implement it for the 2015-'16 school year.
"Do I think that's aggressive? I believe so. Can it be done? I believe so, too," Board President Dean Sanders of Lake Mills said of the timetable. "But I do believe if the committee gets going and gets too much information to be back by September, they do have the right to ask for that (deadline) to back up."
The matter of divisional placement came to the fore due to an amendment proposed by the Six Rivers Conference that, if passed, would have added a 1.65 multiplier to private-school enrollments for tournament placement. That amendment was never voted on, however. Instead the plan for an ad-hoc committee was proposed and supported.
The vote highlighted the most attended annual meeting ever. WIAA officials said 443 of the organization's schools were in attendance.
"For the first time there was some very good discussion," Racine Prairie athletic director Sandy Freres said. "I was jotting down points. There are things that are obvious to me, but now we have all those collective thoughts on the table. That's not what was happening."
In the late 1990s, Freres and Wisconsin Lutheran athletic director Jeff Sitz spent three years as part of the committee that helped usher private schools into the WIAA. Wednesday both wondered if the timeline given to the committee was long enough.
"To have this done by Sept. 1 is asking a lot," Sitz said. "It's going to kill summers for whoever is on those committees, that's for sure."
The first step will be to build the committee. Sanders estimated it would have about 20 members with a mix of representatives from different types of schools from around the state. He thought it was possible to have that committee in place in time for the next Board of Control meeting May 16.
The Sept. 1 deadline would give the membership a chance to discuss possible proposals at the area meetings. The Dec. 1 deadline would give the Board three meetings to approve a final proposal that the membership would vote on next April.
"I know the president-elect coming in and we want something back here by next year," Sanders said. "That's our guarantee, that something will be back here. I don't think it's a topic that we can let die in committee. I think it's got to come back in April."
The direction of the committee's work will be its own, though WIAA executive director Dave Anderson said the executive staff would offer insight and ideas in an advisory capacity.
"We have access to information and can share it and provide it," he said. "We are invested in this association even though we are not members, per se, and we will offer every ounce of best council that we can muster and provide."
Other votes: An amendment that would have given individual schools control over conference formation and affiliation failed, 400-26....
The amendment requiring football coaches to follow the fall acclimatization policy during summer contact days passed, 256-56.
