FSR Rolls Out New Infrastructure Mounting Solutions at InfoComm 2016
Woodland Park, NJ — Adding to an unprecedented number of new product introductions at this year's InfoComm 2016 show, FSR will be expanding its Infrastructure Mounting Solutions line of products by rolling out a number of new installation accessories for AV and ICT professionals working within the education, hospitality, government, corporate and religious markets. The company's new CB-SR12/SR22 Drywall Mounting Frames (the "FRAME"), a mount for FSR's popular ceiling boxes in a drywall ceiling, are making their tradeshow debut, along with FSR's MUD-2G square-corner mud ring and FL-500P-SF8-C Series round cover bracket kits, all of which will be on display at the company's Booth C7730.
"FSR looks forward each year to the InfoComm show and the opportunity to introduce our newest solutions to the pro A/V market," said company president Jan Sandri. "This year, we are excited to roll out an extraordinary amount of new products, including our Manufacturer Mounting Solutions featuring several new FRAMES. For instance, we are showing our CB-SR12/SR22 Drywall Mounting Frames for the first time at any trade show at this year's InfoComm and offering attendees a look at some of its real-world applications. Plus, we're continuously extending our mounting solutions lines, this year with our new MUD-2G and FL-500P-SF8-C Series bracket kits. All products will be demonstrated at our booth during the show."
NEW:CB-SR12/SR22 Drywall Mounting Frames.
On display offering attendees real-life applications is FSR's new CB-SR12/SR22 Drywall Mounting Frames,intended for industry professionals looking to mount the company's popular ceiling boxes in a drywall ceiling. The CB-SR12 and CB-SR22 drywall mounting frames are expressly designed to easily mount FSR's 2'x2' (CB-22) and 1'x2' (CB-12) Ceiling Enclosures. FSR's Ceiling Enclosures are plenum and safety rated for use in many applications.
The FRAME can be installed in the ceiling opening using threaded rod, stranded wire cable or screws through specific holes in the sides of the unit. The ceiling box can then be hung vertically, via the included cables, while the equipment is mounted and wired allowing convenient access to the components and cables. The ceiling box is lifted into the frame and locked into place, and its interior can be accessed in the same way for future re-cabling and service. Ceiling boxes and frames are ordered separately to accommodate individual needs.
A formed extra wide 4" mud ring with square corners for mounting large active electronic devices, the MUD-2G was designed to make the installation of the FSR Flex touch screen control panel and HDBaseT wall plate transmitters easier. The mud ring will fit both formed and stamped 4" square electrical boxes manufactured by the leading electrical part suppliers. Available in 1/2" and 5/8" models, both feature a unique open frame design that increases the usable area over the standard stamped 2-gang cover. This ring gives a true rectangular opening of 3.88" wide by 2.88" high. In addition, there are no round corners to interfere with the device that would result in last minute delays. The MUD-2G Mud Rings are the perfect installation accessories when using all AV interfaces, control devices and input plates.
NEW:FL-500P-SF8-C Series.
The FL-500P-SF8-C Series are bracket kits that are designed so that a SmartFit SF-8 cover can be affixed to FSR's standard FL-500P, FL-540P, FL-600P, FL-640P floor boxes. SmartFit SF-8 covers are available in Aluminum, Black and Brass finishes providing a solution where clients may want round covers to match their décor but also still want the bracket mounting solutions available in FSR's floor boxes for pour in place and raised access floor applications.

Should You Wait for the iPad Mini 4?
If you're in the market for a new iPad mini, should you buy one now or wait until the iPad mini 4 release?
It's been over six months since the iPad mini 3 released, which means we're closer to the release of the supposed iPad mini 4 than we are to the release of the iPad mini 3 last year.
This means that if you're wanting to buy an iPad mini, you might just be tempted to wait until the iPad mini 4 comes out, since it will future-proof for a bit longer than if you were to buy an iPad mini right now.
However, what you choose to do really depends on your budget and your tablet usage habits.
The iPad mini 3 is the newest mini tablet that Apple offers, although it comes with last-generation components, including an Apple A7 processor with 1GB of memory and the same rear- and front-facing cameras. It's actually exactly the same as the iPad mini 2 performance-wise, with the only differences being that the newer model as a Touch ID fingerprint sensor and a gold color option.
Of course, this doesn't mean the iPad mini 3 is an awful deal, as some buyers are willing to pay the extra cost to have the convenience of Touch ID, but for those simply wanting the best performance, the iPad mini 2 is actually the better buy right now.
iPad mini 4 vs iPad mini 2
The iPad mini 2 was launched back in October of 2013 as a huge upgrade over the original iPad mini, coming with a Retina display and a huge jump in performance. We're guessing the iPad mini 4 will receive the same treatment this time around.
Rumors of the iPad mini 4 are surprisingly few and far between, which isn't too surprising as it's still a bit early to wonder about the next-generation tablet, especially since Apple still needs to get through WWDC next week, which is what many rumor mills are focusing on right now.
However, it's safe to assume that the iPad mini 4 will be a big upgrade for the smaller tablet, and we wouldn't be surprised if it matched the specs of the iPad Air 3, which is also expected to be announced later this year as well.
Currently, the iPad Air 2 rocks an A8X processor, which is a 64-bit chip that provides 2.5x faster graphics performance and 40% faster CPU performance than the A7 processor, which is in the iPad Air and the iPad mini 2. That's a pretty big leap that we'll hopefully see come with the iPad mini 4.
The iPad mini 4 could rock Apple's A9 processor and receive a 2GB memory boost just like the iPad Air 2, which is great and all, but something else to consider is price.
iPad mini 4 Price
When deciding on whether or not to buy an iPad mini right now or wait until later this year to buy an iPad mini 4, you'll want to factor in price and how much you're willing to pay for an iPad. It's also important to consider how much value you'll get out of an iPad mini based on how much you spend on one.
We're expecting the iPad mini 4 to keep the same starting price tag of $399, just like previous newer iPad mini models. This would keep the iPad mini priced at $100 less than the full-sized iPad model. So if you wait until later this year and buy an iPad mini 4, expect to pay at least $400 for it.
However, if you were to wait until the iPad mini 4 released, but instead bought the iPad mini 3 at that point, you would be able to save some cash, as we'd expect that model to drop to $299, making it a way better deal than it is today.
As for the iPad mini 2, we're not quite sure if Apple will keep it around when they announce the iPad mini 4, but if they do, we can easily see the priced dropped to $249, making it quite the steal.
This is where you'll have to do some thinking of your own. You could buy the iPad mini 2 right now for $299 or wait just a few more months and possibly get the iPad mini 3 for the same price, with addition of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the Home button, as well choosing a gold color option if that's your thing. Otherwise, you can buy the iPad mini 4 for $399 and get a hell of a tablet out of it.
In the end, if you're on a budget and are looking to get the most out of your hard-earned dollar, buying the iPad mini 2 right now or waiting until the iPad mini 3 drops in price are good options. Otherwise, if you're looking to buy the best iPad mini tablet there is with no worries about the cost, then we'd suggest waiting until the fall when Apple will most likely release the iPad mini 4.

I have an iPad 2 currently, but it's slowing down and I think I'll move to a mini. Thanks for your clear thinking in this article to help me make my decision to wait for the mini 4.

All Of Your Favorite Celebrities Are Wearing Summer's Biggest Hair Trend
What's silver, white, and bleached all over? The hottest hair color of 2016, of course. It's not quite as drastic as the gray trend we saw last year, but it offers just as much pizazz as the metallic hue.
Blonde tresses were spotted all over the runways during the latest fashion week shows. Models like Kendall Jenner and Alessandra Ambrosio gave their brunette strands a break, and rocked bleached wigs down the catwalk at the Balmain Fall 2016 presentation.
And several celebrities have also picked up on the bold trend. Taylor Swift updated her golden locks to the icy hue back in April during Coachella. Before fully committing to the daring color, she gave it a test drive for her Vogue cover shoot. Even Hollywood's favorite redhead Emma Stone is rocking the look this summer. But 2016 has been filled with hair transformations for the star. Before transitioning to platinum blonde, she went extremely dark with deep brown fringe. So, we'll have to stay tuned to see how long she keeps the fresh vibrant hue.
And don't think that the look is only reserved for fairer skin. Beyoncé has been on board with wearing honey blonde hairstyles for several years, and she's proved that even a platinum tone can work on deeper complexions. Raven-Symoné has also played up her look in the past with bleached locks.
This glowing shade reminds us of the rainbow hair color trend, which has been going strong for a while now. If you haven't tried the prismatic look, platinum blonde is a modest way to dabble in the trend. And right now is the perfect time to give it a go. Everything seems to get a little bit brighter in the summer, from our lipsticks to our outfits. So, keep scrolling to see how the stars are working the fun color into their looks.

Randolph School is a landmark of civic pride and the desire to have first-rate public-education for youth. The original portion was built in 1896. Like many late-19th-century urban public schools, the building was made an architectural showpiece. Its brick façade is embellished with pilasters and highlighted by a mansarded tower which visually dominates the neighborhood. The school was constructed to accommodate the westward expansion of Richmond's population. To meet growing demand, it was extended in 1900 and 1934. The building's original function has since been removed to more up-to-date facilities, but the structure acquired a new lease on life when it was sympathetically converted to housing. The construction of the immediately adjacent downtown expressway in the 1970s has made Randolph School a point of interest to thousands of commuters. It was listed in the registers under the Public Schools of Richmond MPD.

How can you tell when someone owns a public figure? Watch for signs of grovelling.
If something done or said displeases the puppet master, a single frown can turn a puppet's knees to water. This phenomenon was on full display for anyone who happened to be watching Hillary Clinton as she offered remarks in memory of Nancy Reagan.
Before we can measure the puppet's reaction, we'll need a baseline measurement of the subject's "normal". Having a constant, or a scientific control, to measure it against will help us gauge the degree of change when influence is brought to bear.
When Bill Clinton was in the the spotlight for sexual misdeeds, Hillary took a fighting stance, and aggressively countered. Deny, deny, deny. She is supposed to have set up a "war room" (presumably not in the Oval Office) to crack down on "bimbo eruptions".
With scandal after scandal, again and again, we have seen her stonewall. Admit no weakness. Take nothing back. Even now, she's still trying to claim that the anti-Islamic filmmaker they collared as a whipping boy had something to do with Benghazi.
When asked questions that could lead to felony charges, about her wiping her email servers, she asked with mock innocence: "…like with a cloth or something?"
This is her baseline. Do not show weakness. Do not retract. Do not apologize. All offence, all the time. Except this time.
This time, she flinched. This time, she showed weakness. In trying to give deference to Nancy Reagan, she made appreciative comments about Nancy that made her overlords itch. She now certainly wishes she had never said it. (Story here.)
Alleged anti-bullying advocate, and all-around thug, Dan Savage happened to catch wind of this. Dan Savage is the precious snowflake and paragon of respectful discourse that suggested publicly that Doctor Carson ought to perform a particular indecent act upon Savage. He also — very helpfully — publicly humiliated teenage girls with whose religion he disagreed, because they had the audacity to walk out during his ranting. But don't worry. "It Gets Better"
Savage read about Clinton's statement. It included the following:
"It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for people to talk about HIV/AIDS back in the 1980s. And because of both President and Mrs. Reagan — in particular Mrs. Reagan — we started a national conversation. When before nobody would talk about it, nobody wanted to do anything about it, and that too is something that I really appreciate with her very effective, low key advocacy but it penetrated the public conscious and people began to say, 'Hey, we have to do something about this too.'"
The poor Rainbow Gestapo officer could barely contain himself. In responding to Hillary, he even invoked ALL CAPS. Which I suppose means he's angry. It's hard to tell with someone perpetually offended and seeking to offend.
He couldn't let the dead woman be praised. Couldn't take the high road, not even in death. Because he is prone to seething. And Savage wrote angrily to Hillary. Actually, nothing so direct, personal and productive. He was angry and intent on publicly shaming her. So he published his reaction in a blog, denouncing her for what she had said.
Did she default to her baseline? Deny, deny, deny? Pivot? Blame-shift? Not at all.
She did a most remarkable thing. She walked back her statement, made a retraction, said she mis-spoke, and rephrased Reagan's accomplishes to exclude AIDS, and refocus them instead on Stem-cell research.
Why? Savage had issued a direct threat. And, like a sock-puppet, she complied.
Would you like to know the threat? Here is the part that's reprintable.
"Hillary Clinton needs to walk this back immediately or she risks losing the votes of millions of queer Americans who survived the plague years. We watched our friends and lovers die by the tens of thousands while Nancy and Ronnie sat silently in the White House.
Hillary is not beholden to the voters at large. Nor the parents of fallen soldiers. Nor the loved ones of a fallen Ambassador. Nor the laws of the land. But we have learned that she IS beholden to a single bellicose Social Justice Warrior claiming to speak for the entire homosexual (etc.) population.
Do you think such power would be held over her head if and when she returned to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? You had better believe it. The Left loves to accuse everyone of being in the pocket of some large organization or another. Has it occurred to people to ask whether that's actually a ploy to deflect attention away from asking who's holding THEIR strings?
Maybe it's time we start asking.

MEATPACKING DISTRICT – Today, the Meatpacking District Improvement Association (MPIA) announced the installation of an interactive public art piece at the intersection of Ninth Avenue and 13th Street in Manhattan's historic Meatpacking District. The installation features a multi-image lenticular display to conceal a shipping container that will be used to store equipment and materials during a period of City-mandated construction on Ninth Avenue.
Beginning on October 1, the project is the result of an agreement between the contract for the ninth avenue construction, the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) and the MPIA and is expected to continue for 24 months.
"With this project, we are transforming what is otherwise an eyesore into part of the striking, yet also complimentary, landscape of contrasts that define the Meatpacking District," said Lauren Danziger, Executive Director of the MPIA. "Throughout its long history, this neighborhood has reinvented itself many times over; we are proud to use the construction on Ninth Avenue as opportunity to bring more art to the area for New Yorkers to enjoy."
MPIA plans to swap out the artwork for a new piece every 2-3 months and views this as a community based project. The ability to use the public space for an innovative art installation that can be curated by members of the community and showcase local artists is exactly what the MPIA believes is one of the purposes of the DOT's public plaza program. The first artist is local muralist and industrial designer Kiji McCafferty, aka Mr. Kiji. Kiji worked with the MPIA to come up with the idea of using a lenticular to portray the underlying theme of the project, which is contrast.
Subsequent installations will be curated by locals including Ivy Brown, long-time Meatpacking gallery owner and one of the few legal residents of the area, The High Line, The Whitney Museum and more. The MPIA will also run an open call for local artists to participate.
In recent years, the Meatpacking District has transformed from primarily a nightlife center into a multi-faceted neighborhood where art and culture, technology, food and hospitality and fashion and design converge. The neighborhood is home to attractions such as the relocated Whitney, High Line, and Chelsea Market; tech firms like Google and Palentir; and leading clothing brands such as Diana Von Furstenberg, Theory, and Rag & Bone to name a few.
The Meatpacking District is an epicenter of city life; New Yorkers seeking quality dining, music and atmosphere flock to the neighborhood. Yet the area retains its historic character through its architecture and cobblestone streets, as well as with its eclectic mix of businesses, nearby community of active residents, and visitors from every part of New York City and the world. This project is a wonderful attraction to add to the mix of already happening businesses and activities in the area.

CIT Hosts University Research Day for America Online
01 January, 2003
category: Contactless, Education
HERNDON, Va., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ – Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) hosted a conference on Nov. 6 designed to give technologists from America Online, Inc. (AOL) an opportunity to begin dialogues with Virginia university researchers working in fields of interest to the company. Peter Jobse, CIT's executive vice president and chief operating officer, welcomed more than 100 employees in technology-related roles at AOL and 40 research professors and doctoral candidates from six Virginia universities: George Mason University, George Washington University – Virginia Campus, James Madison University, Old Dominion University, the Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia Tech. "Finding Common Ground 2002: University Research Day" included presentations, demonstrations and poster sessions on topics such as data mining, digital government, mobile/wireless capabilities, targeted Web design and home networking.
In his opening remarks, Clayton Lewis, vice president of AOL's Innovation Center, cited the benefits of infusing AOL's process of innovation with ideas from the universities. "This program helps us continue to build lasting and productive relationships with Virginia's research community. The day is about exploration and discovery that doesn't end when we leave the building," Lewis said.
CIT established the program for AOL three years ago as a way to focus the company's attention on cutting-edge research being conducted at Virginia's colleges and universities, and to encourage AOL's investment in university research to remain in the Commonwealth. The first year's program in July 2000 resulted in a partnership between AOL and GWU's Virginia campus on the Home of the 21st Century, announced in April 2001, and the establishment of two fellowships at Virginia Tech. In addition, AOL's positive interaction with the universities led to summer internships for 29 students from eight Virginia universities. This year, AOL provided $20,000 in awards for outstanding presentations and poster displays.
"This is one way that CIT can work with Virginia's technology businesses, large and small, to achieve a primary goal: helping ideas generated in Virginia's colleges and universities reach the marketplace, CIT's Jobse said. "Research conducted by Virginia universities that can add value to a Virginia company's products or services results in economic benefit to the Commonwealth. AOL's enthusiastic participation in this event demonstrates its commitment to seeking solutions in its own backyard."
CIT has used this conference as a model for other university-industry events that focus on applied research and technology transfer. Two events last spring, the Virginia Technology Showcase and the Advanced Materials Showcase, also attracted participants who had technologies available for licensing and those who were interested in applying those ideas to new and existing businesses.
"We encourage an expansion of this activity to other companies in Virginia that have research needs the universities can fill," said Professor Scott F. Midkiff, of Virginia Tech's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. It's an avenue into the Commonwealth's intellectual resources that also affords the research community an opportunity to understand the marketplace perspective."
About Virginia's Center for Innovative Technology, http://www.cit.org CIT is a state-chartered nonprofit corporation focused on three goals: enhancing federal research funding to Virginia's colleges, universities and industry; commercializing intellectual property from universities and laboratories and growing entrepreneurial companies; promoting technology-based industry development by serving as the Commonwealth's technology extension service.

Privacy Policy | WW USA
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy governs our United States WW websites (collectively our "Website") and our Online Products, and explains how we collect your personal information on our Website or through the Online Products, how we protect such information, and the choices you have concerning the use of such information. Your privacy and the security of your personally identifiable information are very important to us. We want you to be as comfortable as possible visiting our Website and using our Online Products. We are dedicated to protecting the privacy of those who visit our Website and use our Online Products. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Except as WW.com, LLC and WW International, Inc. (collectively, "we", "us", or "our") disclose in this Privacy Policy, we will not sell, share, license, trade, or rent your personally identifiable information to others.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this Privacy Policy on a regular basis. By using our Website or any of our products, offerings, features, tools or resources that we provide on our Website (collectively, our "Online Products"), including our products or offerings for personal digital assistants or other handheld or mobile devices (collectively, our "Handheld Products"), you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Please remember that this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by our Website or through our Online Products. We are not responsible for the privacy of any information you reveal or post in any public forum (e.g., message board, blog, personal page, etc.) or through the "Public Profile" feature available on our Website, or for the privacy practices of websites that are operated or owned by third parties.
We collect personally identifiable information.
Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you ("Personally Identifiable Information"). Such Personally Identifiable Information may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, birth date (primarily for eligibility purposes) and billing and payment information. We may request Personally Identifiable Information from you when you register on our Website, enroll in our Online Products, or in connection with other Online Products we may make available on our Website from time to time. In all of these cases, we will collect Personally Identifiable Information from you only if you voluntarily submit or share such information. Unless you give us permission to do so, we will not sell, share, license, trade or rent your Personally Identifiable Information other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.
You do not have to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information to visit our Website. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to visit all sections of our Website or use all of our Online Products, such as subscribing to our online weight-loss tools or posting content to any Community Area on our Website. A "Community Area" means any blog, personal page, group page, chat room, message board, bulletin board, recipe swap, or similar activity. In addition, we may not be able to provide you with some of the other Online Products dependent upon the collection of such information, such as a personalized WW.com home page.
When you become a registered user of our Website, enroll in one of our current Online Products, or in connection with other Online Products we may make available on our Website from time to time, we also may collect information that by itself cannot be used to identify or contact you.
Information from Other Sources.
We may also supplement the information we collect with information from other sources to assist us in evaluating and improving our Website and Online Products, to determine your preferences so that we can tailor our Website and Online Products to your needs, and/or to study nutritional, weight-loss, behavioral and fitness questions in general.
We may collect information (including information that is Personally Identifiable Information) from you in different manners and at different places and times on our Website, such as when you register for our Website or enroll in one of our Online Products. We also may collect information from you in connection with, or through, other Online Products we may make available on our Website from time to time. The following is a description of the areas and/or manners in which we primarily collect information about you.
Becoming a Registered User and Subscription.
In order to access certain Online Products on our Website, such as our Community Areas, weight-loss tools and food database, you must first complete certain steps to become either a registered user or a member. During these steps, you may be required to provide us with information (including Personally Identifiable Information) such as name, zip code, email address, date of birth and, if you enroll in one of our Online Products, payment and billing information. This information is used to help us understand who uses our Website, to improve our Website and our Online Products, to contact users about requested Online Products and/or for subscription billing purposes. It is optional for you to provide demographic information (such as profession and number of children), but providing this information is encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our Website.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.
WW.com and our marketing partners, affiliates, or analytics or service providers use cookies and similar technologies in analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
To manage Flash cookies, please click here
We use cookies to:
- personalize your experience on our Website (e.g., to dynamically generate content on webpages specifically designed for you),
- assist you in using our Online Products (e.g., to save you time by not having to reenter your name upon each visit to our Website), and
- allow us to statistically monitor how you are using our Website for purposes of improving our online offerings.
We also may use cookies to conduct marketing and promotional efforts (including contacting you with a reminder if you navigate away from our Website with items in your online shopping cart), tailor certain advertisements to your browser that we think may be of interest to you, or to determine the popularity of certain content. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Website, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Website may be limited.
We partner with third parties to display advertising on our Website and to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third party partners may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on this Website and other sites in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads, you may opt-out by clicking here or here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served ads. You will continue to receive generic ads.
Social Media (Features) and Widgets
Our Website includes social media features, buttons and widgets provided by third party social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter (collectively, the "Features"). A Feature may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Website, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. This cookie may allow the social media platform to link the foregoing data with your user profile. The Features are either hosted by the third party platform or directly on our Website. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the relevant platform.
We may display personal testimonials of satisfied customers on our site in addition to other endorsements. With your consent we may post your testimonial along with your name. If you wish to delete your testimonial from our Website, you can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Linking your account with third party applications and devices
Our Website offers you the option to connect your Weight Watchers account with third party applications or devices (each a "Tracker") such as activity trackers that measure your activity level (e.g. the number of steps and distance walked, calories burned and other personal metrics). If you connect your Weight Watchers account with an account you have with a provider of a Tracker, the third party provider will receive the information from us that you have a Weight Watchers account. At the same time, data collected by your third party Tracker (for example, personal activity data collected via an activity tracker device or other collected data) will be transferred to us and may be incorporated into your Weight Watchers account (for example, to display PersonalPoints™ values earned) in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. You have the option to disconnect the Trackers from your Weight Watchers account at any time via our website. Please refer to the privacy policy of your Tracker provider for further details, which may include information on what specific data is collected by your third party Tracker and account.
Apple HealthKit
We provide our members the ability to sync with Apple's HealthKit framework, which provides the ability to access your health and fitness data to help you keep track of your activity in the WW app on your iPhone and Apple Watch, if you so choose. (For more information, see our Apple Health FAQs: https://www.ww.com/us/apple-health-faqs.) We do not use information gained through the HealthKit framework for advertising or similar services. You can always stop WW from accessing your data by changing the settings of your mobile device.
Referral Programs
Through third party referral program operators and others, we offer referral programs whereby referral websites can earn commissions through the referral of members or other purchasers to our Website. To track the earning of such commissions, and to determine the effectiveness of the referral programs, the users who become members to our Online Products or purchasers through such referral websites are tracked using technologies that do not include Personally Identifiable Information (such as cookies and/or action tags). Our program operators and the referral websites themselves can only access information such as data relating to the number of impressions served, the number of transactions completed, and their resulting earnings. They cannot access our customers' personal data.
If you choose to apply to be a referral website, we use the data you provide strictly for conducting business with you. We have entered into certain agreements with third party program operators for the purpose of administering our referral programs. Should you become a referral website of ours through one of our third party program operators, any information you provide to them is subject to their privacy policies.
Online Products
We collect information, some of which may be Personally Identifiable Information, that you voluntarily provide to us when you choose to use some of our Online Products (available either for free or on a subscription basis) such as the "Favorites" feature, the PersonalPoints™ Tracker tool, the "Weight Tracker" tool and the Community Areas. We also collect information that you provide voluntarily through responses to special Online Products such as surveys, questionnaires, self-assessment quizzes, contests and the like. Some of these Online Products may ask you for health related information. We collect this information in order to personalize your online experience.
Handheld Products
Information is also collected when you use our Handheld Products, including the software application needed to utilize the Handheld Products on your handheld device (the "Application"). During the installation of the Application and subsequent synchronizations, we collect information concerning your device (such as the specific type of operating system and hardware you have, and the amount of free and total memory) and the Application's files on your device.
Our Handheld Products also collect information about your usage of the Application (such as the dates you last synced with the Internet or the dates you last used certain features). When you sync your device with the Website, we store some of this information.
Public Forums and the Public Profile Feature
We feature public forums such as those contained in the Community Areas where you and other users of our Website can communicate with one another. In addition, we offer both the "Public Profile" and "Account Settings" features of our Website to permit you to share information about yourself (including, if you elect, Personally Identifiable Information) with others.
You should be aware that any information shared in a public forum such as a message board, blog, personal page, posting, group, bulletin board or recipe swap or through our Public Profile feature is public information and may be seen or collected by third parties that do not adhere to our Privacy Policy, although the availability of personal pages or groups identified as "private" may be limited to certain permitted users. However, even information marked "private" may be viewed by our staff. You should think carefully before disclosing any information in any public forum, or through the Public Profile feature, on our Website. For example, you should not select a username that includes personally identifiable information. To request removal of your personally identifiable information from our Community Areas, contact our Privacy Coordinator at the address indicated below.
Log Files
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically. This information may include Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Website. This information may be used to analyze trends, to administer the Website, to monitor our Website's use, and to gather general demographic information. We may link this information to Personally Identifiable Information for these and other purposes such as personalizing your experience on our Website and evaluating our Online Products in general.
Email or Refer a Friend
Through our referral tools for informing a friend about our Website, or one of our Online Products, we will automatically send your friend a one-time email containing the information you request to be sent. If you elect to use these referral tools, we will collect from you certain Personally Identifiable Information about your friend such as your friend's name and email address. We may store that information for purposes of sending the one-time email and as necessary to operate and track the success of our referral program. We will not use your friend's information for any other purpose. Your friend may contact us at email@example.com to request that we remove this information from our database.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Website and Online Products are not designed for or directed to children under the age of 13. We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13. We urge all parents or guardians to participate in their children's exploration of the Internet, and to teach their children about protecting their personally identifiable information while online.
In general, we use the information collected on our Website and through our Online Products to help us understand who uses our Website and Online Products and how they are used, to personalize your experience, to assist you in using our Online Products, to improve our Website and Online Products, and for subscription billing purposes, if applicable. With respect to our Handheld Products, for example, we may use such information, among other things, to ensure that your handheld device is supported and that it has enough room for the Application, and to confirm which versions of the Application's files are installed on your device. If you become a registered user of our Website or enroll in one of our Online Products, we may use your information to send you a welcoming email that may confirm your username. If you "opt-in" (for example, if you check a box, or if the box is pre-checked, you do not opt out by unchecking the box) we may send you electronic newsletters, contact you about Weight Watchers products, services, information and news that may be of interest to you, and provide you with targeted feedback. If you no longer desire to receive these communications, we will provide you with an option to change your preferences. In addition, if you identify yourself to us by sending us an email with questions or comments, we may use your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to respond to your questions or comments, and we may file your questions or comments for future reference. We may also use the information collected to contact you about important service announcements and updates regarding our Website or Online Products or, if you are a member, about your billing account status. You will not be able to opt-out of these service announcements and updates as they contain important information relevant to your use of our Website and/or our Online Products and are not promotional in nature. (If you do not wish to receive these service announcements, you may cancel your account with us and delete the Personally Identifiable Information maintained about you on our systems by contacting our Privacy Coordinator at the address set out below.)
In addition, we may use your information to contact you about Weight Watchers products, services, information and news that may be of interest to you by postal mail if you become a registered user of our Website or enroll in one of our Online Products after April 23, 2004 and/or by phone if you become a member to one of our Online Products after October 25, 2012, unless you notify us that you no longer desire to receive these communications.
We may also use the information gathered on our Website and through our Online Products to perform statistical analysis of user behavior, to analyze and evaluate issues relating to nutrition, weight-loss, behavior and fitness, or to evaluate and improve our Online Products. We may link some of this information to Personally Identifiable Information for internal purposes only or to assist you in your personal weight-loss efforts.
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as specifically agreed to by you, we will not disclose any information we gather from you on our Website.
We may disclose information (including Personally Identifiable Information) about you to our Affiliates. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Affiliate" means any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with WW.com, LLC or WW International, Inc., whether by ownership or otherwise. Any information relating to you that we provide to our Affiliates will be treated by those Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. We may share your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) with franchisees of WW International, Inc., but only where we indicate to you at time of information collection that such information will be provided to a franchisee, or if we otherwise obtain your permission.
Laws and Legal Rights.
We may also disclose your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with an applicable statute, regulation, rule or law, a subpoena, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other valid legal process. We may disclose Personally Identifiable Information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms & Conditions , or our Subscription Agreement or to protect the safety and/or security of our users, our Website or the general public.
Third Parties Generally.
We may provide to third parties information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted, including where such information is combined with similar information of other users of our Website. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who visit our Website, the demographic breakdown of the registered users of our Website, or the activities that visitors to our Website engage in while on our Website. The third parties to which we may provide this information may include potential or actual advertisers, providers of advertising services (including website tracking services), commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.
Outside Contractors.
We may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers (collectively, "Outside Contractors") to provide specific services and products related to our Website or Online Products, such as providing payment processing and fraud screening, and developing applications for our Website and e-mail services. These Outside Contractors may sometimes have limited access to information collected on our Website, including your Personally Identifiable Information, in the course of providing products or services to us. Access to your Personally Identifiable Information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary in order for the Outside Contractors to perform their limited function for us. We also require that these Outside Contractors (i) protect the privacy of your Personally Identifiable Information consistent with this Privacy Policy, and (ii) not use or disclose your Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose other than providing us with products or services for which we contracted.
Third Party Sellers.
In addition, through our Website, you may be given the opportunity to purchase (or to obtain more information regarding) certain content, products or services which are sold through a person or company other than us or our Affiliates (collectively, "Third Party Sellers"). We will attempt to make it clear to you when you are dealing with a Third Party Seller. Third Party Sellers or WW may request that you submit certain information in order to purchase their products or services or to obtain additional information from them. You do not need to submit this information or purchase any products or services from Third Party Sellers to access our Website. By submitting the requested information, you affirmatively consent to have that information shared with the Third Party Seller. We do not otherwise share or disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to Third Party Sellers.
Sale of Business.
We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of WW.com, LLC or WW International, Inc., or in the case of bankruptcy, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy. We will notify users of any such transfer through notice on our site and through email.
Our Website contains links to other websites not owned or operated by WW.com, LLC (for example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement, you will likely be taken off our Website), including links to websites operated by franchisees of WW International, Inc. We will attempt to make it obvious to you when you leave our Website and enter these websites by opening a new browser or otherwise notifying you that you are leaving our Website. However, please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites. We encourage you to be aware when our Website links to other websites and to read the privacy policies or statements of each and every website. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by our Website or through our Online Products.
We want your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to remain as secure as possible. We strive to provide secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers through industry-standard techniques. To help ensure the integrity and privacy of the Personally Identifiable Information you provide to us via the Internet at the time you elect to become a registered user or enroll in our Online Products, we use Secured Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology in transmitting such Personally Identifiable Information over the Internet to our servers. We secure the Personally Identifiable Information you provide on servers located in controlled, secure environments, protected from unauthorized access, use, or alteration. Only employees who need access to your information to perform a specific task or function are granted access to such information. In addition, all of our employees must abide by this Privacy Policy and are kept up-to-date on security practices. Any employee who violates this Privacy Policy is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Notwithstanding the above commitments to protect your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) from loss, misuse or alteration by third parties, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet. There is also some risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will only use Personally Identifiable Information for the purposes described above or as otherwise disclosed at the time we request such information from you. You must "opt-in" and give us permission to use your Personally Identifiable Information for any other purpose. If you no longer wish to receive communications from us via postal mail, you may notify us by calling us at (800) 651-6000 or by contacting our Privacy Coordinator at the address set out below.
You may change your preference and "opt-out" of receiving other communications by changing that option in the Communication Preferences feature of our Website, following the directions provided in association with the communication, or by contacting our Privacy Coordinator at the address set out below.
Users of our Website are notified when Personally Identifiable Information is being collected by third parties on our Website. We do this so you can make an informed choice as to whether you should disclose information to a third party.
Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Please note that we do not interpret or respond to "Do Not Track" signals. However, you may set your Web browser to not accept new cookies or web beacons, be notified when you receive a new cookie, or reject cookies generally. Most browsers offer instructions on how to do so in the "Help" section of the toolbar. Please note that if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use certain products, offerings, features, or resources of our Website (including our Online Products).
Upon request, WW.com, LLC will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information. You can always contact us in order to (1) update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the Personally Identifiable Information maintained about you on our systems, by accessing Account Settings or contacting our Privacy Coordinator at the address set out below. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will not have an effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion.
You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our systems. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your Personally Identifiable Information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. We promise that promptly after receiving your request, all Personally Identifiable Information stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate. We will respond to your request within 45 days.
We retain your information for various purposes as allowed by law, including to ensure that we can continue to provide our services to you as requested, that we respect your opt-out wishes into the future, and that we can comply with our legal obligations. If you wish to remove your Personally Identifiable lnformation from our database entirely (even though this may impact our ability to provide services to you and/or manage your opt-out wishes), please contact us as specified below.

Your Rights Under the CCPA
Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Your Personal Information
Consumers have the right to request that a business that sells the consumer's personal information, or that discloses it for a business purpose, inform the consumer of what has been collected about them and who it has been sold or disclosed to. Consumers also have the right, at any time, to direct a business that sells personal information about them not to sell their personal information.
Right to Access / Data Portability
Consumers have the right to request that a business that collects personal information about them disclose the following: (1) The categories of personal information it has collected about that consumer; (2) The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (3) The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information; (4) The categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information; (5) The specific pieces of personal information it has collected about that consumer. The disclosure shall cover the 12-month period preceding your request. We are not required to provide your personal information more than twice in a 12-month period.
Right to Deletion
Consumers have the right to request that a business delete any personal information about them. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, a business does not have to delete information if it is necessary to: a) complete a transaction; b) prevent illegal activity; c) exercise free speech; d) comply with a legal obligation; e) identify or repair errors that impair functionality; or f) otherwise use a consumer's personal information, internally, that is compatible with the context in which the consumer provided that information.
Right to Non-Discrimination
A business cannot discriminate against a consumer because the consumer exercised any of the consumer's rights listed above.
Exercising Your Right to Access or Right to Deletion
1) To submit a Request for Access or Request for Deletion as a Consumer or as an Authorized Agent, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also call us toll-free at 1-800-651-6000.
2) Once we receive a request, we will take steps to determine whether your request is a valid Verifiable Consumer Request. We will ask for information that is reasonable in light of the nature of your request.
3) When you submit a request for access:
a. Within 45 days of receipt of your request, we will provide you with a copy of the information listed in "Right to Access / Data Portability," above, electronically. To the extent possible, we will provide this information in a portable and useable format.

Exercising Your Right to Opt-Out
We do not sell your personal information for money. The definition of "sale" under the CCPA is broad and may include activities that are common practice to many businesses, such as sharing partially de-identified information (hashed email addresses), Internet or network activity (through cookies), and engage in remarketing and retargeting activities. You may opt out of the sale of your personal information by clicking here:

Taiwan has kicked off its annual Golden Horse Awards, a prestigious ceremony considered Asia's equivalent of the Academy Awards for Chinese-language films
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan has kicked off its annual Golden Horse Awards, a prestigious ceremony considered Asia's equivalent of the Academy Awards for Chinese-language films.
Even as the pandemic shut cinemas around the globe, actors, directors and others managed to walk the red carpet ahead of Saturday night's 57th Golden Horse Awards ceremony in Taipei.
The Taiwanese romantic comedy "My Missing Valentine" led the nominations for this year's awards with 11 nods.
Hong Kong's "Hand Rolled Cigarette" received seven nominations, while the city's "The Way We Keep Dancing" received six.
Another Hong Kong film, "Taking Back the Legislature," was nominated for best documentary. The film focuses on the storming of the city's Legislative Council building, a key moment in last year's anti-government protests.
Singaporean actor Mark Lee was nominated for best actor for his performance as a drag queen in "Number 1."
Malaysian rapper Namewee's song "Happy Family" was nominated for best theme song for his film "Babi," which was banned in Malaysia.
For the second straight year, mainland Chinese talent was not participating in the competition, with Beijing banning its artists from participating amid tensions between China and Taiwan. Taiwan split off from the mainland after the 1949 civil war, but China still claims the island as part of its territory.
Those tensions have played out at the festival. In 2018, documentary director Fu Yue called on the world to recognize Taiwan as an independent country in an acceptance speech at the awards, something only a handful of nations currently do.
In response, Chinese participants refused to appear onstage, made pointed remarks about Taiwan and China being members of the same family, and then declined to attend the banquet reception following the show.
China holds its own film awards, called the Golden Rooster, which are subject to government ideological constraints and censorship.
Associated Press videojournalist Johnson Lai contributed to this report.

Pakistan aid 'will not fall to extremists'
- Published
Pakistan has sought to reassure international donors that funds to help victims of its devastating flooding will not fall into extremists' hands.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik told the BBC the Taliban would not be allowed to take advantage of the crisis to increase its support.
The UN has said it has now raised nearly half of the $460m (£294m) it needs for initial relief efforts.
Meanwhile new flood warnings have been issued in some areas of Pakistan.
The authorities say as many as 20 million people are affected by the floods. The UN says six million desperately need emergency aid but most still have not received it. Ten of thousands of villages remain under water.
There are growing health concerns for those surviving without proper shelter, food or clean drinking water, three weeks after the country's worst natural disaster in modern times began.
Survivors have criticised the government's response to the disaster, saying aid has been too slow to arrive and there are increasing reports of victims staging protests to demand help from the government.
Mr Malik said he was satisfied that the government had coped with the initial response but that it had been overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis.
"What happened was never expected. In the history of the whole subcontinent there was never such a disaster," he said.
Mr Malik said he was aware of the danger that the Taliban could increase its foothold in flood-hit areas by taking on charitable roles and winning support from survivors.
But he said this would not be allowed to happen and blamed the concerns on internal "party politics".
The US ambassador to Pakistan, Anne Patterson, also played down the fears, saying stories that extremists groups were the only organisations involved in relief work in some areas were "greatly exaggerated".
The UK's International Development Minister, Andrew Mitchell, who has been visiting north-west Pakistan, said he felt the Pakistani relief teams were doing well in getting supplies to many of the victims, in the face of great difficulties.
He criticised the international community for being slow to act to tackle the crisis, saying the initial response had been "woefully inadequate", but welcomed the news that Canada and Australia had pledged more money towards the relief effort.
However, he said "more needs to be done" and said he hoped for a better response at a UN emergency meeting due to be held in New York on Thursday.
US Senator John Kerry, the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is also due in Pakistan to view relief efforts.
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari is travelling to Russia for a regional summit, but is only expected to stay for a few hours. Mr Zardari was criticised after not returning home from a trip to Europe earlier this month to deal with the growing crisis.
'Never expected'
There have been fresh flood warnings, with a series of towns in north-west Sindh, close to the border with Baluchistan, placed on high alert. Rising floodwaters, carried by the River Indus, are travelling south and are expected to hit the region soon.
UN officials say the floods are now covering an area the size of England. At least 1,600 people have been killed, with health officials warning the toll could rise as water-borne diseases spread.
Aid agencies say six million people are in need of immediate assistance but many have received no aid at all.
The distribution of supplies has been hampered by severe damage to the country's infrastructure, with roads and bridges washed away or blocked by landslides.
The UN has been struggling to raise the money it says is urgently needed for the immediate relief effort.
UN spokesman Maurizio Giuliano told Reuters news agency there had "been an improvement" in donations, but he added: "The challenges are absolutely massive and the floods are not over."
Unicef, the UN's children's fund, called for "an urgent effort" from donors.
"Two million dollars are needed every day to provide water - this is not sustainable. We don't have two million dollars a day," said Unicef's regional director, Daniel Toole.
As well as buildings, large areas of crops and farmland have been washed away, leading to fears of food insecurity in the future.
"If immediate steps are not taken, we fear a famine," said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, a provincial information minister in north-west Pakistan.
"The farmers have lost everything: their crops, their machines, their houses, their seeds."
The World Bank has said it is redirecting $900m in existing loans to Pakistan to flood relief and recovery.
Pakistani officials have said it could take five years and up to $15bn for the country to recover.
BBC Urdu will transmit six daily bulletins in Urdu and Pashto providing vital information including how to stay safe, avoid disease and access aid. Special programmes will be broadcast each day in Urdu at 12.30, 15.30 and 18.30 and in Pashto at 12.45, 15.45 and 18.45 (local times).

New Deadline: Postmark All Packages by October 15th 2015
First of all, thank you to every single person who has contributed already to the Mandalas for Marinke collaborative crochet art project, designed to raise awareness about depression and mental health issues while celebrating the creative work (and mandala patterns) of Wink who succumbed to suicide earlier this summer. The project has received more than 150 contributions from over than 30 states and about 20 countries. It's amazing to see the love pouring in. Each mandala will be shared here on the blog in daily posts with Words from Wink and depression awareness information. Eventually it will all come together into an art show and art book; seven of her family members have expressed an interest in a copy of this book and I will be so happy to be able to gift those when the project reaches that stage.
Today I am announcing a DEADLINE EXTENSION and some other updates.
Mandalas for Marinke Deadline Extended
New Deadline: Postmark All Packages by October 15th 2015
When I first started this project in early July, I requested that all mandalas be postmarked by August 31st. I figured that this would mean they'd all arrive by mid-September and I've been glad to see so many come in. It gives me a really great idea of what size and type of space I'll need for the art show. Now that the deadline is approaching, I am able to see that an extension would be of benefit to some people and wouldn't harm the project's progress in any way so I am able to offer that extension.
Here are some reasons for the extension:
- Several people have already requested private extensions (not a problem at all) so I'm able to see that folks are interested in participating and haven't had a chance yet. The more contributions, the more awareness we raise, the better.
- The current issue of Simply Crochet magazine just published an announcement about the project in Issue 35. I also have articles coming out in the next issues of Happily Hooked magazine and Interweave Crochet! magazine, both of which mention the project. I am so grateful that people are sharing the project and Wink's work! I want to make sure that anyone who first becomes aware of the project through these channels has ample time to participate.
- The art show likely won't take place until early 2016 anyway. Originally I wasn't sure if it would be a late 2015 show or early 2016. Looking at the available options, it seems that most places are booked out through the holidays so the show is unlikely to take place until 2016, which is totally okay. That means that I can extend the deadline a little without impacting the trajectory of the art show.
- Originally, I shared an intention that a portion of the sales from the art book would go to a related organization. After extensive research into the available options, I've got an idea of the direction that this is going to go. I need to do some more groundwork before I make a big announcement about this but for now I'll share that it is going to take a bit more time to put all of the steps in place for it so the extension makes perfect sense in this area as well.
Here's the New Deadline: Postmark All Packages by October 15th 2015
Already contributed and want to send more? That's absolutely fine. Send them along!
Especially Seeking
In addition to the regular crochet mandalas and your stories or messages to go along with them, the updates to the project now mean I'm seeking some extra special donations as well:
- Lots of mini crochet mandalas. Mandalas made of any thread or yarn that are around 3″ – 6″ in diameter. As many as you can create! The idea behind these is that anyone can take a small mandala with them wherever they go, in a wallet or a purse, so they can be gifted to people who feel that they need that ongoing support, used by people who wish to yarn bomb the Mandalas for Marinke message, etc.
- Huge, cozy crochet mandala rugs. I'll be creating a space at the art show where people can learn crochet and craft together and I want it to be as comfy as possible. I'll be crafting big mandala rugs myself for the project but if anyone feels compelled to create some and send them to the project, they'd be hugely appreciated and well used!
- Crochet mandalas made out of alternative materials. I love every contribution that's come in made with thread and yarn and those are always, always welcome. But I'd love to represent other materials as well so if you're someone who crochets with plastic bags, t-shirt yarn, fabric remnants, wire, beads or any other material and you want to contribute, I want what you want to send!

Police investigating alleged threat made by Marysville fifth grader
The Marysville Police Department is investigating an incident in which a student made a comment alluding to shooting up Washington Elementary School, according to a letter to district parents posted to social media and sent to the Times Herald Wednesday.
The comment was made by a fifth grade student during a choir concert Tuesday night, the letter said. The comment was brought to building-level staff and the student was removed from school Wednesday, the letter said. The student is not to return to school or be in the vicinity of school campuses until further notice, according to school officials.
"I'm very disappointed about the situation but we have to do what we have to do," Marysville superintendent Shawn Wightman said.
Wightman encouraged students, staff and parents in the district to report threats and bring safety concerns to the district.
"Communication, education and training are all a part of this process," Wightman wrote in the letter. "Consequently, I encourage you to share your concerns and ideas with us so that we can continue to make certain that our schools are the safest places for our children."
On Thursday, Marysville Deputy Chief Ron Buckmaster said the incident stemmed from a poor choice of words and there was no credible threat. The student is not facing charges related to the incident, Buckmaster said.
