United Methodist Women's Green Team meets with Office Depot on the Chlorine-Free Paper
Letterwriting Campaign, January 31, 2006, Delray Beach, FL
by Grace Pyen
When United Methodist Women write, people respond!
In the Fall of 2005, United Methodist Women started another letterwriting campaign for Processed Chlorine-Free Paper (PCF). Led by the Green Team, women carried out a massive mailing to Office Depot, Office Max and Corporate Express, paper retail suppliers.
Within 6 weeks of beginning the campaign, the Women's Division received a call from Mr. Steve Sauls, Vice-President of Corporate Relations of Office Depot, after receiving his fifthieth letter from United Methodist women. Mr. Sauls initiated a meeting of the following three major parties to discuss the importance of Processed Chlorine-Free paper: United Methodist Women, Chlorine-Free Products Association (3rd party certifier), and the manufacturers.
Attending the meeting were: Archie Beaton , Executive Director of Chlorine free Products Association;
Robert Boivin, Steve Cormier, Walter Hudson, Dennis Lion, Isabelle Faivre of Cascade Paper Co.; Scott McDougall, CEO of TerraChoice; Chantal Line Carpentier , Executive Director of the Center for Environmental Cooperation; Steve Sauls, Linda Boykin, Wade Eveleth, Shari Hendrixson of Office Depot; and Grace Pyen of UMW Green Team.
I spoke to the group about the importance of using PCF paper. I spoke about the toxicity of dioxin and how it affects the environment and human health. I also talked about the over-consumption of water when bleaching paper with chlorine. Archie Beaton of Chlorine Free Products Association and other members of the group spoke about the importance of 3rd party certification and the difference in Processed and Elemental Chlorine Free paper (ECF).
It is significant that this meeting was a direct result of our letterwriting campaign. I told them that we want to buy PCF paper but we have yet to find a major retail store that carries 3rd party certified PCF paper on an ongoing basis. I made a plea to Office Depot to uphold the moral imperative to practice environmental stewardship and asked them to join us in this movement. Office Depot expressed their appreciation for our unending struggle and for taking a moral stance.
The meeting ended with Office Depot committing to continue dialogue with those present at this meeting and for Mr. Saul and his colleagues of Office Depot to go back to their management team to discuss plans for participating in environmental stewardship by choosing quality PCF paper.

About EVA CARLETON, Owner
This house is owned by an older couple who purchased the house because of its location (so near to the heart of town) and its proximity to family members who live in the neighborhood and love it. When we retire, we will probably move to this area because our grandkids live close-by and because the area is simply so cute and conveniently close to all of the fun activities and restaurants in Coeur d'Alene.
EVA CARLETON, Owner purchased this cottage in 2012
What makes this cottage unique
LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Plus the house is really nice inside and has a nice yard...

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Thieves are breaking into cars in West Huntington and in Barboursville, looking to make a quick dollar.
Some of the most recent thefts involved cars that were left unlocked.
A handful of people in Huntington's Westmoreland community woke up to find their windows smashed out and everything inside rummaged through.
Now, they're stuck footing the bill for the repairs and wondering who's behind the crimes.
"Wow, this is a great way to start a Monday," said Beth Hendricks.
Hendricks' week is off to a rough start.
She's getting a new car window after early morning crooks broke in.
"I guess they were just looking for something they could grab quick and get out," Hendricks said.
They didn't much, just a pair of sunglasses, but she said the broken window was enough.
"They'd actually cut mine out, and it was laying pretty much in a complete piece over in the grass," Hendricks said.
Huntington Police said there were five car break-ins overnight in West Huntington.
"It's gotta be taken care of," Hendricks said.
Hendricks isn't the only one frustrated at her apartment complex. One of her neighbors woke up to his brand new car, with the passenger side window busted out.
Now, they're both forced to spend hundreds of dollars for repairs they never planned for.
"I just feel terrible for him because it's a brand new car. It's still got temporary plates on it, and he had his registration and all his documentation stolen out of his car, in addition to some of his personal identification," Hendricks said.
Though the bill is costly, Hendricks is looking on the bright side.
"A lot of other things I could do with $230 this week, but it has to get taken care of. I'm grateful there wasn't more taken. I'm grateful there wasn't more damage done," Hendricks said.
She now knows, firsthand, just how important it is to never leave anything valuable in a car.
"I have always been one to really preach not leaving things in your car," Hendricks said.
Huntington Police said more than a dozen car break-ins happened during the weekend near Marshall University.
In those cases, windows were busted out and some of the cars were left unlocked.
Barboursville Police are also dealing with several break-ins.
Early Monday morning, police arrested two people involved in break-in attempts.
They said one of them had a purse from a stolen car when she was arrested.

How Chrome Extension Gallery domain verification will help protect users
Domain verification is the big security addition. If you read our posts on how to install Chrome Web Apps right now, you might have seen part of Google's plan in action already. For example, if you tried to install the Google Reader app from our server by simply clicking it with your left mouse button, you would see the dialog above: "Apps must be served from the host that they affect."
That provides a very simple but effective defense against malicious apps. Worried that a Gmail app might steal your credentials or log your conversations? No problem -- unless the app is served up from Gmail itself Chrome won't let you install it.
It's not perfect, obviously. The apps on our post could be installed anyway by simply right-clicking, choosing save as, and dragging the app from your download bar back into the main Chrome window. To the average user, however, that's probably complex enough to be a deterrent. Pair this with Google's new domain verification stamp, and you've got a decent way to assure users they're installing safe apps from a trusted source.
Every little bit helps when it comes to security, and I can certainly see domain verification being something even my least technical friends and family can understand -- and appreciate.

Beyoglu Apartment Rental Photos and Description
Apartment, 2 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s) in salon, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-6)
50% off regular rates Nov 15-Mar 15, holidays excluded. Rates are for up to 4 guests. Each additional guest $20 more per night.
I chose this flat in Istanbul based on what I love as a travel writer - authenticity with all the comforts of home and easy access to the tourist sites without having to be in the middle of them. Most importantly views that will knock your socks off and leave no doubt what city you are in.
This is a renovated flat in an authentic historic neighborhood, just minutes to all the sites. It has 1 enclosed bedroom with queen bed plus a bedroom suite connected to the salon, divided by curtains with 2 twin beds. You can add the studio flat upstairs for a third bedroom for only $50 more per night Nov 15 - March 15, or $80 during regular season, or mix and match with our 2 other flats on the same floor.
Views galore from this bright, light flat in a historic building in historic Galata area. With a small balcony and a shared rooftop terrace just one floor above, it has a view most people who visit Istanbul can only dream about.
We have added many authentic Turkish touches to this flat from rugs, to art on the walls. White washed wood floors. Large windows with views. Huge roof terrace above with teak tables and chairs, food prep area, and barbeque grill.
Neighborhood: Just 1 block from Galata Tower. Kabob stands, Turkish music instrument stores, just up the hill from Galata Bridge which leads you to Sultanahmet with its glorious mosques and palaces and the Grand Bazaar - just minutes by tram, or an exhilarating 15 min. walk across the Galata Bridge over the Golden Horn to the major tourist sites. Some of Istanbul's best restaurants and cafes abound in this area. And the shopping is divine.
A 5 minute walk in the opposite direction and you are at the heart of vibrating Istanbul life - Istiklal Ave. Minutes from Tunel where the city's best live entertainment and dining are. Best of all , you don't even have to leave the flat - you can see it all from your living room/xtra bedroom, balcony and rooftop terrace.Including the ships passing to and fro across one of Europe's oldest harbors as they ply the Bosphorus Strait and the sparkling minarets and palaces pictured on every postcard of Istanbul.
The flat is located on the 5th floor (sorry no elevator, but views are worth it and you'll go home more fit than when you arrived!) of an old building. The flat is decorated with art, Turkish lamps, antiques, textiles from my travels around the world, eclectic artistic design, has a small balcony off the living room, and whitewashed wood floors throughout. The bathroom has floor to ceiling white tiles, a large modern rainfall shower, and teak countertop. The roof terrace will accommodate large groups in a setting you will not believe. Perfect for entertaining or just sitting quietly with a glass of wine, mesmerized by the stunning view.
Dine outside at our large teak table with a view of Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, & the Bosphorus. The terrace has outdoor dining and cooking facilities, all surrounded by the magic of Istanbul...a feast for the eyes and senses. A great place to entertain. Or simply enjoy the view of Old Constantinople with a glass of wine as you watch the seagulls circle the mosques in the moonlight.
Note: Although our 4 flats in this building have been recently renovated, the building itself is typical 'old' Istanbul. There are 5 flights of stairs, AND the view is worth it! You will love this flat and this neighborhood.
It's important to me that you know where you are without having to leave your flat. Your experience of Istanbul will be greatly enhanced by making this flat your home away from home.
Regular Rates
2 Nights $ 170.00 per night
7+ nights $160.00 per night
14+ nights $125.00 per night
30+ nights/monthly rate $3300 per month

About Robin Sparks
As a travel writer and former editor of a travel magazine, I have lived in and traveled to over 2 dozen countries, and I always stay in flats rather than hotels as I love to experience 'living' in a place however briefly I am there. I have chosen some of my favorite places on the planet in which to provide apartments for rental to other global travelers - it's the only way to travel as it takes you out of the tourist mode and puts you squarely into the the 'real' spirit of the Place in which you are traveling. All my flats have the following things in common:
1. located just outside, but near the tourist zone so that you can experience the authentic spirit of the city while being close enough to the sites and transportation to get to the 'tourist zone' easily,
2. beautiful views that leave no doubt where you are,
3. At least 2 bedrooms
4. homey and artistic touches throughout
Robin Sparks purchased this apartment in 2007
Why Robin Sparks chose Beyoglu
Istanbul is my favorite city in the world. It is colorful, vibrant, full of history and the melodious sound of Arabic influenced music and the call to prayer, delicious food, and best of all, the Turks themselves. Turks are the most hospitable people on the planet. If you stay in a hotel in this city, you might not ever learn this fact, which is the biggest reason I rent flats. Once you've 'lived' in Istanbul, however briefly, you will never regard Turks in the same way again. This is a country and a city, in the 'middle', which is where I like to be philosophically and geographically. What happens in Turkey will determine the future of Middle Eastern relations with the Western world. A very exciting place to be! I chose this neighborhood of Galata because it is up and coming. It is a delightful mix of the old with the new. Enjoy traditional tea gardens side by side with modern restaurants. This neighborhood once the abode of foreigners, mostly Greek, is gradually being gentrified. Enjoy it now while it still shouts TURKEY! (and is close to all the amenities of modernity.) Large group? Ask about my 2 and 3 BDRM. flats on the same floor. Rent both at discount.
What makes this apartment unique
This flat is white and blue with bleached wood floors and lots of sunlight . While outside, the mosque and palace rimmed shoreline of Sultanahmet remind you of where you really are - in the most magical city in the world! The bathroom is modern with a big rainfall shower, gleaming white tiles and a teak counter top. The roof terrace above this flat is huge and wonderful for entertaining large groups. Seagulls sweep overhead, you can watch ferries crisscross the Bosphorus and ships from around the world navigate one of its most strategic straits, hear the call to prayer from the mosque-studded skyline. The roof terrace has a small refrigerator, running water and sink, barbecue, outdoor dining furniture, and best of all, a seagull's view of the Bosphorus and Sultanahmet. Really amazing! A view that would cost hundreds of dollars per night in one of Istanbul's hotels. All yours for the length of your stay! Combine with the other 2 flats on this floor for a 10% discount or add our studio flat upstairs for only $80 more per night.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We absolutely loved our time in Istanbul. Davide was very helpful when we arrived. The apartment was lovely. The roof terrace was breathtaking. My wife loved the art in the flat. I would definitely recommend your flat to others. The folders of prior guests research was nice. I loved the coffee table books as well. One thing I have enjoyed at some flats we have stayed is having a few basics stocked. IE sugar, salt, pepper, dish soap. Great job on the flat!

Optimum Horn Mouth Size
Loudspeaker exponential horn computer model studies indicate that there is an optimum mouth size for a horn of specific cutoff to minimize mouth reflections. Evaluation of the reflection coefficient at the horn's mouth reveals how large the mouth must be to optimally radiate into different size solid angles.

H.264 Presentations from Streaming Media Europe

I gave two presentations at Streaming Media Europe last week, one a three hour presentation on producing H.264 for Flash, Silverlight, QuickTime and HTML5, the other a 30 minute short course on producing H.264. Both presentations are attached hereto. Click over to the main article to download them.
The Moving Picture: So You Want to Deliver Your HD Videos Online...
- October 13, 2010

So there I was, struggling for an idea for a column, and editor Stephen Nathans-Kelly mentioned that there was growing interest in distributing HD wedding videos to clients over the internet. Fortunately, this dovetailed well with some research that I recently performed, so here we are. If you're considering distributing some or all of your wedding or event-related content over the internet in HD, you need to ask yourself at least four questions.

The Moving Picture: Encoding Tips for 24p Footage
- September 15, 2010
- No comments
If you're shooting in 24p, you should deliver your projects in 24p. This sounds obvious and simple, but it can get surprisingly complex depending upon your choice of encoding and authoring tool. I just spent 2 weeks comparing MPEG-2 encoders, and I saw a surprising difference in quality and ability to deliver 24p footage that Apple's DVD Studio Pro could import and the quality Adobe Encore was able to achieve without re-encoding. In this column, I'll discuss those findings and detail the best workflows for producing 24p DVDs.

The Five Key Myths About HTML5
- September 1, 2010
- 35 comments
I was preparing for a webinar last week and scanned 46 websites to see how many used HTML5 as the primary playback option for video. This was a mix of media sites (14), business to consumer sites (22) and business to business sites (10). The answer was 1 - Wikipedia - with YouTube offering HTML5 as an alternative to Flash. Even Apple - the sugar doesn't melt in my mouth, we believe in open standards -- poster child for HTML5, uses the QuickTime plug-in for displaying video on Apple.com.
That got me thinking; why would any site where video was mission critical use HTML5 today, or even in the near term? There's no standardized way to protect their content, no streaming server that can efficiently dole the content out to multiple viewers on different browsers and no scheme for adaptive streaming. There isn't even full support for all advertising servers.
Looking at it from the other direction, the installed base of HTML5 compatible browsers is only around 40-50%, depending upon who you ask, and you need to produce using at least two, perhaps three codecs to service those browsers. That made me realize that HTML5 is a FUD and media driven fiction that won't be widely relevant for at least three or four years, and then only if the relevant parties make some hard decisions that they've as of yet shied away from.
So here are my five key myths about HTML5.
Creating Flash-Compatible MOV files with Compressor

You've got an H.264-based MOV file that you want to use for Flash production, but it won't load into Flash or Flash Catalyst. Can you simply change the extension from MOV to F4V? If you're encoding the file, should you choose None, Fast Start or Fast Start - Compressed Header when producing for progressive download.

x264Encoder vs the Apple Codec
- August 30, 2010

26 Ways to Feel Younger Now

By Anna Davies
Be realistic about your to-do list
"The stress hormone cortisol ages the body, inside and out," Ronald Kotler, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and author of 365 Ways to Get a Good Night's Sleep. "If your to-do list is a mile long and you're constantly thinking about it, you're living the stress response all the time."

Over the past year police say there has been an increase in thefts of catalytic converters from parked cars. Thieves sell metal from the converters and the costs for replacement parts can range from $500 to $2,000.
Here are tips from the Long Beach Police Department on how to prevent being a victim of catalytic converter theft:
- Collapse the threads of the bolt so it cannot be unscrewed
- Spot-weld the bolt at a muffler or metal shop
- Park in a safe secure place, where seeing a stranger underneath your vehicle would be instantly suspicious
- Keep your car in the garage
- Always park in well-lighted areas
- Engrave your license plate number on the converter to make it traceable
- Visit a local muffler shop and have the converter secured to the vehicle's frame
East Long Beach is experiencing a rash of burglaries.
At a town hall meeting Tuesday night, residents shared their horror stories of auto burglaries and home break-ins.
"They couldn't get into my house, so they threw a brick through my window," said JoAnn Padilla, an Eastside resident for 20 years.
"They did the same thing to me!" replied Leila Justen, who has lived in the area for 30 years.
More than a hundred residents turned out for the meeting at the El Dorado Park Community Center organized by City Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske to address recent property crimes in her 5th District. The crimes have included a string of break-ins at homes and cars, and a trend of thieves stealing catalytic converters for metal parts.
"Fortunately, over on the Eastside we're not seeing the violent crime that's occurring in other parts of the city, but nonetheless, it's very important that these residential burglaries be nipped in the bud," said Schipske, who's running for mayor next year. "We want to send the message out that we don't tolerate crime in the city of Long Beach."
East Division Commander Paul LaBaron was the main speaker for the evening, and the commander had a big message for residents: Call the police.
"Don't second guess yourself on the things that you see in your neighborhood that you think are suspicious," he said. "Call us and let us know what's going on. If you see anything suspicious, call the police first. You're not bothering us. It bothers us if you see something and you don't call us."
In a snapshot of crime statistic for the 5th District, LeBaron said overall property crime was down 17 percent between Sept. 1 and Oct. 28 compared to the same time last year. However, residential burglaries were up 20 percent.
Citywide, violent crime is at a 40-year low, but property crimes, which include burglaries, theft and arson, have seen an overall increase of 3 percent compared with the five-year average, according to police statistics.
Some crimes have spiked sharply.
Residential burglaries in the city are up 26 percent this year compared with the five-year average. Garage burglaries are up 54 percent.
When asked by a resident how his officers are stepping up patrols to reduce crime, LaBaron said each officer is assigned a beat. Officers patrol a beat 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The East Division is a large division divided into 10 beats, stretching from the Lakewood border south to the ocean, east to the Orange County border and west to Cherry Avenue.
Officers not in a beat are concentrated in areas where crimes trends have emerged, he said.
LeBaron said he also focuses investigations on catching prolific criminals responsible for a multitude of crimes.

Dolce et Gabbana, the fashion designers that have a surprising amount of crochet in their collections, has debuted a new line of clothing for kids. I'm not quite sure why a five-year-old needs a D&G label but what I really wanted to know was if there was any crochet in this new kids collection.
It's so tough for me to tell just by photos, but I think I see a little bit of D&G crochet, starting with what look to be raffia crochet hats for boys:
And then I swear these little shoes look like crochet to me:
Qu'en penses-tu – are these crochet? Dans le cas contraire, they're totally ripe for some crochet copycatting! En fait, regardless of what you might think about young kids wearing designer labels, there are some super cute designs here definitely worth a look for inspiration.

Dead fish are washing up on the shores of lakes across central and northcentral Wisconsin following this long and harsh winter. That has been especially true on the eastern shore of Lake Petenwell in Adams County.
James Falk spends a lot of time fishing on Lake Petenwell when he comes up from Chicago to enjoy some time off. But this year, he and other anglers have been seeing lots of dead fish crowding the shoreline. But luckily for him, he says it hasn't impacted his catch.
"It hasn't affected the fishing whatsoever. I don't see if affecting the fishing whatsoever in the future, it just is a natural part of how the river cleanses itself. Its just the way it works," he explained.
While the fish deaths are nothing unusual--its still something the DNR is keeping a close eye on. They believe the increase in dead fish is likely the result of the extreme winter and a longer than normal time frame when the lake was frozen over.
"When the ice comes off and the wind stirs up the water the fish come off the bottom and can migrate to the shores. With the strong west wind that we have had, its not surprising they have come to the east shore," said Jennifer Bergman, DNR Fishieries Biologist.
Now it is very important to point out that while the fish kill may seem alarming, it is part of a natural process and its not expected to have a big impact on fishing.
Something local businesses and residents are rather happy about.
The DNR says other lakes across the area will also likely see higher numbers of dead fish as a result of the long winter.

|Georgre Clooney
The 'Ides of March' actor - who is currently dating ex-wrestler Stacy Keibler - has confessed he has a "very tough time" nodding off, and often feels alone when attending public events.
He said: "Turning off the television causes me to think, and once I start that vision roaring, I have a very tough time getting to sleep. I'm able to numb out. Without question, I wake every night five times."
"Anyone would be lying if they said they didn't get lonely at times. The loneliest you will get is in the most public of arenas: You will go to a place and end up in the smallest compartment possible, because it's a distraction to everybody, and you end up not getting to enjoy it like everyone else."
However, the 50-year-old star - who has previously dated a host of beauties, including Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis and British presenter Lisa Snowdon - explained he has felt "infinitely more alone" in bad relationships in the past.

He added in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter: "I have been infinitely more alone in a bad relationship; there's nothing more isolating. I have been in places in my life where that has existed."
Meanwhile, George admitted he has previously been through the "painful" experience of trying to get a former flame back.
He explained: "[I've been] left for someone; all those things. And it was sometimes a surprise, and sometimes you saw it coming. The most painful was when I kept trying to get one woman back. But we all make dumb mistakes."

►White House Counter-Terrorism Adviser, John Brennan recently discussed the processes for authorizing a drone strike. Until now, what goes into the decision has mostly remained mystery, but President Barack Obama has asked that Brennan's team be more open about how and when the U.S. dispatches drones. The U.S. uses a "threat threshold" to gauge if a person can be targeted. Another factor is if the target has "unique operational skills that are being leveraged in a planned attack," Brennan said in a briefing.
►Al Qaeda is considerably weaker, but a year after his death, Osama bin Laden's ideology is "thriving" in Afghanistan and Pakistan, says Uday Bhaskar, former Director of the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi, in a column for Reuters. Bhaskar says recent kidnappings and assassinations show the group still aims to exert influence in the region. He also notes that affiliates who subscribe to the al Qaeda ideology have become both more virulent and more determined. "There are pockets where the al Qaeda and its adherents appear to be gaining in local power and influence with the existing state machinery either unable or unwilling to quarantine them and their ideologies," Bhaskar wrote.
►The British Army Land Forces headquarters, Britain's main intelligence base, was evacuated after a suspected biochemical attack which was later disproved. Ministry of Defence officials launched an investigation after four staff members collapsed suddenly with "violent flu-like symptoms." Officials later determined that there was no foul play. The incident highlighted the risk posed to security forces by bioterror attacks. "This would be an ideal place to attack as it could cripple the Army's ability to respond to a major emergency. And a biochemical attack is a serious risk as it is relatively easy and cheap to carry out," a source told the Daily Star. The incident was deemed not suspicious, however, the cause of the sudden illness has not been diagnosed.
►In other news, the DHS inspector general's office opens its own inquiry to the Secret Service prostitution scandal. ♦ The DEA publishes tips on what to do if you encounter a clandestine meth lab. ♦ And a Sikh advocacy group this week launched a free mobile app that allows travelers to file a complaint with TSA if they feel they've been treated unfairly by airport screeners. The app is called FlyRights and is available for the iPhone and Android devices.

The district attorney's office has filed petitions to transfer three teen suspects in the Tuesday bus stop shooting on Through Street from Juvenile Court to Criminal Court because of the severity of the acts, records show.
Lonta Burress, 16, and two 17-year-olds -- one male, one female -- each have been charged with three counts of aggravated assault, one count of felony possession of a firearm while committing a dangerous felony and one count of evading arrest.
Police said someone in a stolen red Ford F-150 truck fired six to 10 shots from two .38-caliber revolvers at students standing at the 3210 Through St. bus stop about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. No one was injured.
Police saw the truck and chased it until it hit another vehicle and a utility pole. The driver and the male juvenile were arrested. The female turned herself in Wednesday night.
Detention hearings for the teens were held Wednesday and Thursday in Juvenile Court, but no future court dates were scheduled as of Thursday afternoon.
Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd said Wednesday that more charges may be added, which would allow Juvenile Court to release more information.
Burress and two adults were charged earlier this year in connection with the March 27 Coolidge Park shooting that injured five people, District Attorney Bill Cox said.
Burress faced five counts of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault and one count of felony reckless endangerment in that shooting.
Cox said charges were dropped in that case because the sole witness to the shooting wouldn't testify against Burress at a July hearing.
"It's always frustrating when people change their testimony or are unwilling to come forward and testify to something that could help keep the community safe," he said.
But because that case never went to trial, it can be reopened and there may be new evidence, Cox said.
The others charged in the Coolidge Park shooting -- Anthony Frieson, 18, and Taurean Patillo, 19 -- are scheduled to appear before Criminal Court Judge Barry Steelman today, according to court records.
Both face five counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault and reckless aggravated assault, one count of reckless endangerment and one count of employment of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony.
Danielle Clark, spokeswoman for Hamilton County Schools, confirmed that Burress attends Washington Alternative School and the two 17-year-olds dropped out of Tyner Academy before the fall break.
Dodd said the shooters targeted two students on the bus.
A school security officer was at the Through Street bus stop Wednesday along with Chattanooga police.
"We take care of our kids in our buildings and in our buses," Clark said. "We can't control what's happening in the neighborhoods."

The idea of trying these kids as adults is evidence of a digusting legal hypocrisy in many many areas of the country. Food for thought: If these kids had had sex with an adult, oh my, they would just be mere children, so throw the book at the adult! But commit certain crimes, then Ta Da! they suddenly morph into adults. The violence suggested by indian boggles the mind.
What boggles the mind is that any child getting off a bus should be terrorized by the threat of GUNFIRE! Would you be saying the same thing if they had murdered one of the children who were exiting the bus? There is nothing accidental about picking up a gun, getting in a car and shooting it off near a bus of STUDENTS. If you don't want to hold them responsible then how about their parents who obviously didn't know their darlings were once again out with a gun terrorizing others (one of them was involved in the Coolidge Park shootings) but since that child was only 16, was set free to act again because of being a "juvenile". This wasn't a fist fight after school, it was SHOOTING.
Hmm... rrrccc, I think you may be talking to me. If so, you've not read my comments carefully. Again, I'm not saying these kids should only be yelled at and shown the door, but just that they should be considered as juveniles, which is what they are - and, as I first said, would be in the eyes of the law if they had had sex with an adult, rather than commit this crime. (And yes, it is a crime.) Also, if they had killed any children on the bus, it would still be a crime, and they would still be JUVENILES. Furthermore, if the juvenile legal system is incapable of handling something of this seriousness, then the system is in bad need of some extensive overhauling. Note to indian: it's 'capital' punishment. 'Capitol' punishment is what conservatives are inflicting on the government in Washington.

I have received so many hits for this I thought I would address it with a few handy tips for cooking this under-rated vegetable [besides utilising it in my cottage pie recipe of course]
Preparing Swede
Always handy to have a potato peeler to hand for this. Peel it the same way as a potato, slicing off the root end first with a knife. Then just cut the swede into suitably sized chunks.
Mashed Swede
Cut it into 1 inch dice and steam for about 10 minutes, or until tender, then whiz to a puree in a food processor, or mash with a fork, adding a knob of butter, salt and lots of freshly milled black pepper.
Roast Swede
Cut the chunks larger 2 inch pieces, place the cubes in a bowl, adding a drizzle of olive oil and salt & pepper. Toss the swede around to get all the pieces coated in the oil. Pace them on a baking tray and roast in a pre-heated oven 220°C for about 35 minutes. The swede should by tinged with light golden brown at the edges.
Hope this helps! I´ve always had a passion for swede since it was a vegetable my Grandfather would grow in abundance. Its vastly under-rated purely and simply because people often fear it – believing it bitter or difficult to prepare. Neither is the case if done properly. Do you have any swede recipes to share? If so, I would love to hear them.

George Phydias Mitchell was the kind of oilman other oilmen tell stories about. Decades before the Galveston native became known as "The Father of Fracking," he was the son of Greek immigrants who'd come up from nothing and made good millions of times over. Mitchell died Friday at the age of 94, a ... More >>
Pesky little complaints like pollution, flaming water and abandoned homes continue to cast doubt on the argument that drilling into shale will benefit all.
When Steve Lipsky blamed fracking for turning his water well into a flamethrower, he set off an epic battle between the EPA and Texas.

Did you miss my last post on GA Multi-Channel Funnels? Check it out before moving on to Part 2 about path length and time lag. Or maybe two weeks is too long and you need a refresher? Here's a quick re-cap:
Not long ago, Google rolled out a new toy in Analytics called Multi-Channel Funnels. You can find it in the "new version" interface in your Google Analytics account. The feature applies to all of your previously set-up goals and funnels, and sheds light on how all of your traffic sources work together to affect a particular goal you have set up for your site.
The main navigation will drop you on the Multi-Channel Funnels Overview Report. In our first post, we dished out a link to some GA materials on that report, and a training video for it, but didn't spend a lot of time covering that report because a lot has already been written about it. Instead, we focused on the Assisted Conversions Report and First Interaction Analysis, and the Top Conversion Paths Report. Here's the bottom line on each of those:
Assisted Conversions Report and First Interaction Analysis – shows you which marketing efforts are most effective getting visitors into your funnel and final conversion, and attributes a dollar value to them.
Top Conversion Paths Report – helps you drill into a deeper analysis of the variety of ways your visitors eventually convert, so you can visual the thinking behind their decisions.
If that's not enough to jog your memory, you can read part 1 of GA Multi-channel funnels before you continue reading the second two "technical" sections – Path Length Report & Time Lag Report.
What (it is): This report shows how many conversions resulted from conversion paths of a specific age… for example, 0, 1, 2, etc days long. This will give you a better sense for how involved your visitors get with the buying process for your product, service, etc.  That information could be handy regardless of whether you're trying to put together a sending strategy for your e-mail campaign, or just looking for awareness about what kind of investment your product is for your converters.
Where (to find it): A useful feature of the time lag report is to choose 'timelag > 1 day" under the advanced segments at the upper right hand corner of the report. This will help you to visualize the differences in time lag much more easily by taking out the commonly overwhelming outlier of people who convert in less than a day. You will also be able to see the percentage of converters who do take a longer time to convert and what the dollar value of those converters is.
How (it works): The time lag report loks at when your converters first enter your marketing funnel, through any identifiable vector, search, social media, directly to your site, and keeps track of that time in a cookie until you complete a conversion. The different in conversion time and first interaction time will gives you the time lag. The confusing thing about this report is that it is a time "lag" report. So, if your converters take less than 24 hours to convert, they are given the value of "0." I find this is intuitively a bit more involved because if they are given a value of 4, that means it has taken them 5 days to convert. This is just something to be aware of.
Why (it's valuable): If you find that most of your conversions are immediate, it could be an indicator that you have a lot of late stage (ready to buy now) visitors, or personas that make split (quick) decisions… and that your site is already doing a good job of speaking to those groups of people.  If you find that you have a lot of visitors taking days, weeks, or longer to convert, you'll need to think more about the valuable information that will reassure these people at each stage of their buying process, and help move them along from early, to middle, to ready to buy. Remember that you'll need to consider how that information is flavored for each persona as well. It's probably a good idea to make it easy to contact someone at the company for assistance, so you can get a better handle on the kinds of questions your visitors have that are not being answered effectively with the existing site content.  Some of the longer decision-making processes involve lots of people and research.
What (it is): This report shows how many conversions resulted from conversion paths that contained one, two, three or more channel interactions.
Where (to find it): The Path Length Report can be manipulated by adding segments such as >1 day, which is useful to understand how much revenue comes from early (vs. late) stage buyers, or personas that take a longer time to make a decision. (Note: you can check out definitions for stages of the buying process in Brendan Regan's Grok post.) Other segments can be found in the same location including 'first interaction is paid advertising' or 'last interaction is organic search'. These advanced segments can be found directly above the title Path Length in your report. You can also add custom segments to your report from the same area.
How (it works): The path length report calculates the total number of conversions and the total conversion value for each number of transactions. For even more valuable information, you can divide the total conversion value by the total conversions to see which path lengths are the most valuable per visitor. You can answer the question, who is spending more money on my site? People who buy after only one advertising interaction or those that have experienced more of our online marketing campaigns?
Why (it's valuable): You can better understand how many interactions it takes to complete a conversion. This can help to format buying stage campaigns, follow up activities or show you which paths are most efficient in reaching a conversion.
If you have slightly more complex avenues for buying your products and/or services, such as multiple marketing efforts, or a lengthy sales process for more considered purchases, or you just want to take a deeper look at the nuances of how people buy from you, these new Google Analytics reports can help. They provide pre-populated options for grouping your data to view the effectiveness (ie. conversion/revenue-generating results) of various paths through your combined marketing efforts (website, plus traffic sources). Have you already started using these reports? Tell us what you did with them and what you found most useful!
Of course, the reports and the information in them isn't the end of the journey… you still have to know what to do with that information in order to continue making improvements to your site and marketing efforts. If you're struggling with driving better results from your website, our OnTarget subscriptions can help. There's no need to be satisfied with low conversion rates. Take action to improve yours today!
With the recent roll out of live analytics, it will become easier to track and measure pages which are not performing – and why they are not performing
always happy with the features in analytics…hands down the best and with new features like this always will be…like!
I'm loving the two part post you guys have done here. I've been using Google Analytics for over a year now but only ever really used it for insight into where my traffic was coming from and what they were doing whilst there (and not anything else really at all).
All I am looking to convert is that I want visitors to fill in a blank box with their email address so that I can get in touch. However, I didn't have a clue how to set up that as a goal in GA, but now do.
I'm now going to try to dig deeper to get all my traffic into one report showing how they react on the site. Then possibly try to make amendments to my site! I doubt I have the expertise to do it all, but your post certainly gives me a heads up and a bit of excitement about it too.
Thanks for posting this. I saw this in the new Google Analytics but haven't had time to learn exactly what it foes or how to use it. This will most defenitaly help.
Thanks for the thorough explanation. I have recently fallen back in love with Google Analytics after trying out loads of other methods. Google is still the most accurate.
I am going to have to intergrate this feature. This will really help to tell why some pages dont preform.
[...] Speaking of multi-channel marketing, Google Analytics has rolled out multi-channel funnels to analyze visitor behavior. Read more about Google Analytics multi-channel funnels in this article from FutureNow. [...]
Wow, great read! Excellent detail and this has helped me understand Google Analytics a lot more now.
Did you know that in Germany users of Google-Analytics are punishable and can get an ammount till € 50.000.00 (gov.law)for using that tool? This cause privacy?
The new front end of all google products are just awesome be that blogger or Analytics. These are not only more user friendly but also designed so that the tools are more handy then earlier ones.
Thanks for wonderful article on Analytics.
[...] [Future Now] – More on Google Analytics Multi-Channel Funnels [...]
I find google analytics extremely helpful but for some reason it seems to have a better interface through alot of 3rd party mobile apps. I really enjoy finding information like this on it as it makes the process so much clearer on the backend stuff.
Google analytics getting better every day! I might even gonna use it
All I am looking to convert is that I want visitors to fill in a blank box with their email address so that I can get in touch. However, I didn't have a clue how to set up that as a goal in GA, but now do.
To improve your online business witout using google analytics is nearly unimpossible. It is very helpful that google always works on developing this tool.
I think Google Analytics has rolled out multi-channel funnels to analyze visitor behavior.
I have used analytics for a few years now, its good to see its always improving. a must have tool for any website.
wow… Great post to read . I have been too much lean from this post. Google Analytics is always remain favourite for seo. because it is great performer to incearse the traffic on product.
Google analytics is a must have. I have used it to determine what keywords are giving me the best source of traffic. I then use that information to increase my traffic for other related posts.
Google Analytics is extremely helpful for every web-developer. What is more, it is getting better every day. Thanks Mariel!
It´s still amazing that google analytics does not cost anything. Other tools from analyzing tool providers do cost a lot every month! Hopefully google analytics remains for free!

A WOMAN falsely claimed more than £4,000 in benefits.
Rachael Edwards, 31, of Maelor Avenue, Penycae, claimed £4,751.83 in housing and council tax benefit from Wrexham Council after failing to notify them of a change to her income.
Edwards, who said it was a "genuine mistake", was given a two-year conditional discharge by Wrexham magistrates.
Helen Tench, prosecuting, said Edwards had incorrectly claimed thousands of pounds between October, 2011 and August, 2013 and had failed to inform them that her wages had increased at her place of work.
Ms Tench said a form was sent by Wrexham Council to Edwards' employer to identify her working hours and it transpired her hours had increased from 126 to 200 hours a month and as a result, her wages had also gone up.
That meant she was getting more benefits than she was entitled to.
When questioned, Edwards admitted she had failed to admit that she was earning more money and it was a "genuine mistake".
Ceri Lewis, defending, said her client was "extremely remorseful and stressed out by the whole procedure".
She added Edwards had been entitled to claim when she initially received benefits in 2011 and she was currently paying back the money owed.
As a result, chairman of the magistrates' bench Ian Bellingham deemed a two year conditional discharge was a sufficient penalty, saying he thought it was unlikely she would be seen in court ever again.
Edwards was also told to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £15.

Recently I was asked to speak to a student assembly at my high school alma mater, St. Cloud Technical High School in St. Cloud Minnesota. Go Tigers! Although I lecture to college students everyday, I suddenly was fearful I had nothing of worth to say to high school students. I decided to tell them what I wish I would of known in high school. So here are 5 things I came up with:
1. High school is not the "best time of your life", this is a marketing gimmick used to sell class rings. High school for some can be a painful time of puberty, hazing, bullying, isolation, identity crisis, friendship and romantic relationship turmoil, mental health issues, and trying on new ideas to name a few. The best days of your life are ahead!
2. Follow your passion. Listen to yourself and follow your instincts to do what you love. Life is too short to do something, whether it be a sport, job, or relationship, you are not happy doing. Follow your positive energy. A book I'm excited to read over winter break is The Energy Bus. One idea in this book is to think about is be your own CEO–Chief Energy Officer. Think "I get to do…" rather than "I have to do." Many things we do in our lives, it is a privilege, but we often start to feel negative or obligated. Reframe your thinking to "I get to" and see if it doesn't make a difference in how you feel.
3. Learn from everyone you encounter. Take the best from that person and make it your own …or remember what you don't like and promise never to do or be THAT person.
4. When things get tough,hard, sad, scary or frustrating–and they will–remember that this too shall pass.
5. Use your passion and energy to create change, do good and make a difference. One person CAN make a difference. Be THAT person.
What would you tell high school students?
