Councilmen Theodore Lounsbury and Alfred Field spoke about a slim likelihood of natural-gas drilling in town, the wearied process of evaluating the issue, and the state's long-awaited regulations.
Walking along the bridge next to a recently demolished building in the Berne hamlet, one can see the contrasting faces of stone walls from two different eras.
BERNE — A woman was questioned by police as she mourned in a cemetery in the early morning hours of July 13. A breath sample at the police station, according to her arrest report, registered .01, well below the legal limit of .08 for driving. Meanwhile, her SUV had been towed from the cemetery and she had to pay $265 to get it back.
KNOX — The questions were big — what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to living in Knox? — but the crowd was not. In this rural town of 2,700, about 18 men and women sat in small groups to discuss issues that would shape how the Knox comprehensive plan would be modified.
BERNE — The town's process of spending money got an approving look from the state comptroller's office this month.
Loneliness and depression are realities for some elderly people, and caregivers can be strained for others. A church hall in Berne is planned as a place where people who need help can go for social interaction and care.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State's Seath Lauer and Wesley Graham led Sunday's winning charge to the Seminole Intercollegiate tournament championship in a suspense-filled finish at Southwood Golf Course.
The Seminoles won their third tournament of the school year, slipping past South Carolina by a one-stroke margin after top-ranked golfer Brooks Koepka was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard, negating what would have been a nine-shot victory.
Florida State had already secured the team title - its second Seminole Intercollegiate in three seasons - when South Carolina's Paul Woodbury outlasted Lauer with on the fourth playoff hole. Lauer, the Seminoles' senior captain, shared low-stroke honors with Woodbury at 1-under, 212 after 54 holes. Woodbury won with a par on the 427-yard 18th hole; the fourth time the duo traversed the par-four finishing hole.
In total, the three-day affair hosted by Southwood for the first time in the tournament's lengthy history, was a wild ride of emotions for FSU coach Trey Jones and the Seminoles.
"I saw a seven-shot lead go to one and just a tough day on the golf course (Saturday)," Jones said. "I challenged the guys last night and all I told them was, `You can't play defense in this sport. Make somebody beat you tomorrow. Don't let anybody walk out of this town with our trophy just because we didn't come ready to play.'
"I can't say how happy I am with how they came out today from the start and they played all the way through."
The Seminoles opened the final round precariously clinging to a one-shot lead over ninth-ranked South Carolina, which trailed FSU by 10 strokes after the opening round but mounted a charge during Saturday's blustery second round conditions. Despite an individual medalist Woodbury, the Gamecocks could not cut into the Seminoles' lead over the final 18 holes.
Lauer had a lot to do with that, posting a final-round, 1-under 70 for his first career finish atop the leaderboard after 54 holes.
"I played the final four holes (of regulation) like I knew I had a chance, which I did," said Lauer, who matched his best career finish following the playoff setback. "It's a good learning experience. A four-hole playoff is not the most fun thing to do, but to put myself in position to win again is a good feeling. I didn't feel really good about my golf game going in but I got really motivated the day before (the tournament) and I came in with a better mindset."
So did sophomore Wesley Graham, who got off to a stunning eagle-birdie-birdie start, on the way to a final-round 68 that tied him for the low round of the day and was worth a share of third place.
"I was kind of in the zone the whole day," Graham said. "The first three holes I didn't hit a bad golf shot - perfect shots, perfect putts - and everything was going in. It was a pretty amazing start."
Koepka was on pace to join his teammates at the top of the leaderboard until his ill-fated scoring error, but the Seminoles were able to overcome the mistake as Drew Kittleson recovered from three bogeys over the first four holes to shoot 73 and tie for 20th. Kittleson played the final 14 holes at 1-under par.
Freshman Michael Hebert carded a 78 on Sunday and factored into the scoring, finished tied for 38th in the 75-player field.
"The team played great," said Lauer. "I really feel good about that, especially for the future.
"This is just a strong group. We wanted to win this golf tournament. We didn't want to win it by a small margin. This is our home golf course and we wanted to show it's our home golf course. I think (Saturday) was a little slap in the face to our whole team and it kind of made us wake up a little bit. Everybody's composure looked really good, especially at the start of the day. I could just tell we were going to play well."
So did Jones, who likes the trend his team is developing, with another strong final round finish.
"When the guys are around the lead, they know what to do," said Jones. "Golf is a sport you don't get to win as much. If you get two wins in a year on the PGA Tour, that's a great year."
To get their third win of the year - under testy conditions, in the face of adversity, against a solid field and at their home course - in early March, has the Seminoles pointing in a special direction.

For the concept of "very soon take place" compare Rev. 1:3; 2:16; 3:11; 22:7,10,12,20. This may be an OT allusion to Dan. 2:28, 29, and 45. John never quoted the OT but made many allusions to it. Of 404 verses, possibly 275 have OT backgrounds. Translators have been divided in the interpretation of this phrase because of their theological presuppositions about the purpose of the book of the Revelation:
1. suddenly
2. once begun will swiftly occur
3. soon to begin
4. will certainly happen
5. imminently
Usage of this term in Rev. 22:7, 12, 20 shows that John expected these events to occur quickly during his lifetime (see full note at Rev. 10:6; 22:3). Since there is a 2000 year gap between the writing of this book and our day, many say that John was wrong. However, the use of an immediate time frame seems to be typical of the prophetic literature from the Old Testament which asserted that current events foreshadowed end-time events. John used first century Rome to depict the eschaton (last days) as Isaiah and Ezekiel used a restored (post-exilic) Judah, and as Daniel had used Antiochus Epiphanes IV. The coming of the new age of righteousness is a hope and encouragement for every generation of believers.
Also see D. Brent Sandy, Plowshares and Pruning Hooks, pp. 101-102, for the term as a prophetic symbol of severity and unexpectedness, pp. 173-175

Tilton man arrested, pleads guilty to burglaries
James Welcome 30, of 61 High St., was arrested July 3 and plead guilty to two counts of burglary and criminal mischief on July 11, said Police Chief Robert Cormier.
During the month of June, Tilton police responded to two commercial burglaries, both of which occurred during overnight hours, said Cormier.
The first was on June 19 at Lakes Region Cupcakes at 285 Main St. Sometime during the night someone smashed in the glass door, went inside and removed all the cash from the register, Cormier said.
On June 27 at 4:30 a.m., police responded to a burglary alarm on the east side of town at 622 Laconia Road at the Tilton Shop Express. They found that the store had been burglarized, he said.
"Viewing the store video, a suspect wearing a hood and mask was observed forcing his way into the store and then removing all the cash and assorted other items," Cormier said in a press release.

Hi there! I'm Thorny Sterling and this is my website :)
Real quick, I'm genderfluid but usually identify as male, I'm married to a wonderful and sexy man ;) , and in addition to blogging about my life I also write m/m romance fiction — I just published a novel called SPLINTERS! :D — and paint both digitally and in acrylics. So, if you're cool with all that, feel free to look around, join in the conversations, and definitely say "hi" wherever you find me.
Read My Blog
Some people like to read from the beginning because they say it's like a really good book–which is very awesome, I think. Others love my little "many adventures of Thorny" posts because I write about something I've done (that usually got me in trouble) like it was a story. My husband Jazz writes posts sometimes, and I share videos of songs I like too. And some of you are devoted to my blogmate and brother-in-law Alec, who shares his experiences in Recovery. (Your first comment will be moderated.)
My Stories
Anything fictional that I've written will be on this page. All the SPLINTERS buy links and info are linked from here, as well as links to downloadable or posted stories. (I wrote a book! Can you believe it?! :) )
The Sunshine Shop
By popular demand ;) I created a CafePress shop where you can purchase items with my sunshine avatar on them. I also have items with some of my paintings on them too.

It was early in from education critic to public schools advocate that a superintendent invited him to spend a day in her district.
She had Vollmer, then a business executive, do bus duty and work as an aide to a third-grade teacher in the morning. After a 20-minute lunch break, the superintendent took off the kid gloves.
"She put me in an eighth-grade classroom on a warm afternoon," Vollmer recalls. "I've since referred to that as the nuclear option."
Trying to engage, control and teach a class of adolescents gave him a new respect for what teachers face every day.
"Many of these kids are victims of a culture that has assaulted their physiology [from medications they take], fractured their attention span and given them and their parents a dangerously over-developed sense of entitlement," Vollmer said.
Many of the people who are critical of public schools haven't spent time in a classroom since graduating and have a serious case of what Vollmer calls "nostesia" -- a cross between "nostalgia" and "amnesia." They think they got a good education but that schools since have gone to the dogs.
On his website, Vollmer offers a Los Angeles Times quote from a Professor Theodore M. Greene of Princeton University: "I know of no college or university in the country that doesn't have to offer most or all of its freshmen courses in remedial English, beginning mathematics, beginning science and beginning foreign languages. Consequently, we give two or three years of college [courses] and the rest is high school work."
Before you start nodding your head, you should know that Greene made his statement in March 1946. Complaining about the caliber of students is one of our national pastimes, but as our population ages fewer Americans have any direct involvement with schools.
"The most troubling statistic in my head is less than 25 percent of the American taxpayers have children in school; in Pennsylvania it's less than 20 percent," Vollmer said. "Many of [those who don't] are highly susceptible to people on the radio telling them really wrong stuff" about what's going on in schools.
Vollmer said educators have to do a better job of making their case to the community about the challenges schools face.
I've seen how it can work. Several years ago I sat in an auditorium listening to school administrators talk about the requirements of the No Child Left Behind law. They passed out math problems that appeared on the eighth- and 11th- grade Pennsylvania System of School Assessment and asked those in the audience to take a crack at them. There were a lot of stumped faces – mine included – and a new respect for the math standards schools were being asked to meet.
Students "need to know everything you and I learned and then everything that's happened since, and we have not added a minute to the school calendar in six decades," Vollmer said.
When I complained that too few people making education policy have skin in the game, he agreed that many of the decision makers were too far removed from the day-to-day workings of schools.
But he added that everyone has a stake in good public schools because communities around such schools see property values rise and crime rates and teen pregnancy rates decline. When a teenager drops out or graduates unprepared for life and work, that teen becomes everyone's problem.
"They will either take care of that kid for the rest of his life or they will live in fear of that kid for the rest of their lives," Vollmer said. "Everybody's got skin in the game."

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Quality/price ratio is clearly bad compared to many others Hotels in Israel, and there is no transparency regarding the final price you have to pay. The main reason is probably that there are not really other "cheap" places to stay.
Hopefully, it's well situated in Akko old city

As the weather warms up and the spring season approaches, more and more people are taking to the outdoors. People take their dogs for more walks, joggers come out to enjoy the cool and sunny weather and others may be dusting off their bikes for a ride around the neighborhood.
And if you need some help getting that bike into tip-top shape, if you're looking for a new bike or even just a rental, is one local solution.
Owned by Rancho Cordova resident and fishing enthusiast (the shop once also sold fish equipment and bait) Ron Oxyer, American River Bicycle has been a community staple for about 35 years.
Oxyer had worked in the construction industry for 16 years, traveling around the country working on high rises, nuclear power plants and cooling towers.
"My oldest boy was turning 5, they were shutting down the nuclear power plants," Oxyer said. "I came back here and was working at the state building and just got bored with watching television on the weekends."
Remembering a New Jersey company that rented bicycles, Oxyer thought a bicycle and bait and tackle shop would fit perfectly in the river city. As the shop grew, Oxyer ditched the bait and tackle business to focus solely on his full-service bike shop. He began doing safety programs with the California Highway Patrol and the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department's Rancho Cordova station, going to different schools and teaching about the importance of helmets and bicycle safety.
"That was our main form of advertisement, going out into the community and putting on bicycle rodeos and safety classes," Oxyer said.
Later, Oxyer focused his safety classes on local organizations, giving safety tune-ups to the Latter Day Saints and a local church. He gives safety classes to the Boy and Girl Scouts. Through all this, he gained a loyal following of bicycle enthusiasts—about 70 percent of the people that come to American River Bicycle are regulars. And love for the bike shop has passed from one generation to another.
"Their kids are actually coming in and buying bikes for their kids," Oxyer said of his customers. "It's amazing sometimes when people come in and they start talking and find out you sold them a bike when they were only 12 years old and now they're back buying a bike for their kid."
But bikes are for more than recreation these days. Oxyer explained that the price of gas has become a big factor in the amount of bicycles being sold. With gas prices expected to soar this year, Oxyer is preparing for a lot more business in the coming months.
"It happened a few years ago and the bikes completely sold out before October," he said. "It was the best year the bicycle companies had."
With more people turning to more environmentally (and pocket) friendly ways of getting around, Oxyer says he and his employees will give every customer their full attention.
"You have to do more for the customer than just get them in and kick them out," he said.
American River Bicycle is located at 9203 Folsom Blvd., in the shopping center on the corner of Folsom Boulevard and La Riviera Drive. The shop is open from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

According to reports, at approximately 9 p.m. Wednesday, police officers were dispatched to Palestine Regional Medical Center concerning a victim with a single gunshot wound to the right side.
During the initial stages of the investigation the victim, identified as 31-year-old Edgar Torres of Palestine, reported that he was in the 400 block of Cherokee Street when the incident occurred.
"(He) informed officers that he was looking at a handgun that he was going to purchase," Sgt. James Muniz reported. "The victim indicated that he caused the gun to accidentally discharge and he was hit in the side. He was not able to give the names of any other person that was there at the time of the incident."
Based on information obtained from the victim, it was determined that Torres was in Green's Park at the time of the incident. Officers went to the park, however, no evidence of a shooting was found.
The victim was reported in stable condition at Palestine Regional Medical Center. His injuries were not considered to be life threatening.
Detectives from the Palestine Police Department also spoke with the victim and gained no additional information. The case is still under investigation.

Congratulations on the release of the novella collection Seattle Cinderella. Please tell us a bit about this set and how it came to be.
This is a story that has been in my heart for a long time, and when Barbour announced that they were launching the Romancing America line, I felt this was a story that would fit. I've also wondered what became of Cinderella's evil step-sisters… did they reform? Well, in this set, I've continued the saga beyond where the fairy tale ends, and told the stories of the two step-sisters (yes, they reformed!). For the fourth story in the anthology set, I've also included the fairy godmother, except in a Christian story, there won't be fairies, so therefore instead of the Fairy Godmother, she's Farrah the godmother.
Is this your first/only release? If not, what has released recently or about to be released that our readers would like to know about?
I've had over 30 books and/or novellas out. After this one, I'm in a new series called the Bloomfield Series – which is about a bunch of quirky but loveable people who base their association in the Bloomfield Garden Club in the small town of Bloomfield. The set doesn't involve much gardening, but this is the place where they meet and greet each other, including those who don't know much about gardening – they just love being a part of the club and all the events surrounding it and the band of quirky people that belong.
What special something do you try to bring to every story you write?
First, I want to provide a place where the reader can escape their busy lives, sit and smile for a while, and enjoy a wholesome tale with a happily-ever-after ending. That one special theme or concept that I try to show in every story is that most Christians aren't religious fanatics, but live a normal life in a normal world. Just we know where we'll end up when it's over.
Have you ever been to the setting of your novella? Do you have photos and a little story you'd like to share?
I've been to Seattle many times. It's a busy and beautiful city, and of course they have a fantastic airport. Since it's so much cheaper to fly from Seattle than Vancouver, BC, most of the time when I travel I drive to Seattle and fly from there.
If I'm going to tell a story, it's probably the last time my friend Dawn Kinzer and I went to the Pike Place Market. It's such a fun place, busy, and with so much to see and do. When I travel, I very much look and act like a tacky tourist, and this was no exception. I embarrassed her often, making her pose and taking photos of her in action, and inaction. I personify the phrase "tack tourist", and I'm proud of it.
Provide a photo of your workspace and explain why it works for you.
I can't do this on the grounds of embarrassment. It's a disaster, piled with papers, computer paraphernalia, extra mouses (mice?), and more paper. However, my writing computer is in a room in the basement that is reserved for an office space, and it has the one important thing as described in Stephen King's book On Writing – it has a door that I can shut, and I do.
How do you deal with the stress of being an author?
I make my family do the housework.
What's the best part about writing for you? The hardest?
The best part is that my family does the housework.
The hardest is definitely juggling time. It takes much more time than people think to write a book, and that time involves a lot of thinking. For me, that thinking is best done in quiet, and in today's lifestyles, that's not always possible. But my family respects that, and I appreciate everything they do. I couldn't be where I am in my writing career without their help and support.
What do you to do keep going when you want to give up?
I sit back and read a book written by someone else who has written far more books than I have. And then I think, if they can do it, then so can I.
Where or how do you like to connect with your readers?
I've recently updated my personal website but I've also got a website just for Seattle Cinderella, which I plan to keep changing and updating as time goes on, including a little surprise concerning the hero of the 3rd story in the set.
Thanks so much for introducing yourself to our readers, Gail!
TODAY is the last day to enter for the giveaway of Seattle Cinderella. Every comment on every Seattle Cinderella post qualifies! Draw made Saturday.

FORT PIERCE -- The fall season is one stuffed with tradition, and the Manatee Hurricanes are carving out another tradition of their own.
Regional titles.
Friday night's 51-0 win over Fort Pierce Central netted the Hurricanes their fourth consecutive Region 3 championship, which means none of the current players clad in Manatee colors know what it means to not play in a state semifinal.
That's where Manatee (13-0) is headed Friday -- a final-four clash with another program that knows a thing or two about rich tradition, six-time state champion Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas.
The Raiders (11-2) won the Region 4 title Friday with a 38-24 win over Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson and hosts Manatee 7:30 p.m. Friday at Brian Piccolo Stadium.
Yet this recent title, Manatee's 14th overall, may have felt a little more gratifying than most. Few teams entered a season facing as many expectations as these Hurricanes, who began the year ranked No. 1 in the nation by MaxPreps after winning the 7A state championship last fall.
And as the season grew longer, so did the accolades -- Manatee has climbed to the top of national polls conducted by ESPN and USA Today, as well.
"This year, to be expect
ed to win and come out and play like we have, I'm really proud of our guys," said senior quarterback Cord Sandberg. "I'm hoping we just can keep it going for two more games."
Standing in their way are the Raiders, who have won eight straight games and defeated Manatee in the state semifinals in 2005, '06 and '10. They are ranked No. 7 in the state prep poll.
Aquinas is the lone Florida school to beat Manatee since Sandberg became the team's starting quarterback two years ago. The Raiders routed Manatee 31-7 in Fort Lauderdale that season.
Friday's winner plays either Tallahassee Lincoln or Kissimmee Osecola for the state championship at 7:07 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14, at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
"They're good," Sandberg said before the Raiders closed out Friday's win. "If they're able to win and that situation presents itself ... we're going to try and beat them this time."
The tables have turned on this burgeoning rivalry - the Raiders came into Hawkins Stadium in 2009 riding a 37-game winning streak and the nation's top ranking before they were stopped by Manatee.
This time, it's the Hurricanes, winners of 25 straight, who will probably be considered the favorite.
And they'll try to do something they have never done -- win a game at Brian Piccolo Stadium. The Hurricanes also lost the '06 state semifinal there in double overtime.
"Aquinas has a great tradition," said coach Joe Kinnan, "and we have not done well in their stadium."
Now it's time to see which team will get a crack at playing for another state championship.
"We're in the final four, and that's where you want to be," Raiders coach Rocco Casullo told the Miami Herald on Friday. "Aquinas and Manatee has become a nice rivalry over the years. We're looking forward to a fun night. It's going to be great for high school football."

Enhances Performance; Reduces Mounting Area
IRVINE, Calif., April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced a new small package size, high-current (3.3A max.) photorelay – the TLP3107. Housed in a small 2.54SOP6 package, the low on-state resistance and high permissible on-state current of the TLP3107 make it suited to testing applications, including power-line switching, feedback resistance switching and measuring-line switching.
Photorelays provide design engineers with fast switching speed, high reliability, lower power consumption, and noise-free operation in a space-saving package, making them an alternative to mechanical relays. Consisting of a photo MOSFET optically coupled to an infrared light emitting diode, the new photorelay utilizes the latest generation trench MOSFET to realize an approximately 1.4 times higher on-state current than Toshiba's existing product, the TLP3103. This performance, combined with a 3.3A (max.) output, will accelerate the replacement of mechanical relays in applications that require high density assembly. Replacing a 3A-capable DIP package with the 2.54SOP6 package reduces the assembly area by 40 percent, and the overall product height by half.

Home loan @ 2.99%: Will UAE banks fight over interest rate in 2013?
Home loans in the UAE are set to get cheaper this year as banks will compete on the interest front since the UAE Central Bank has already capped mortgages to 50 per cent of the home value for expats.
A local Islamic bank has already raised the bar by introducing a special mortgage profit rate of 2.99 per cent.
"This is a limited offer and the profit rate is fixed for year. The 2.99 per cent rate is available only to people who transfer their salaries to our bank. If you don't transfer your salary, the rate will be 3.99 per cent," a call centre executive of Ajman Bank told Emirates 24/7.
In 2011, banks in the UAE were offering between 70 and 75 per cent finance on ready properties, the limit however went to up to 90 per cent in 2012. Number of banks went ahead and reduced interest/profit rates to attract customers with offers of 3.99 per cent fixed for three years or 4.99 per cent fixed for five years.
Asked if interest rates in the UAE were high compared to other countries, Sam Wani, General Manager, Independent Finance, told Emirates 24/7: "Average rates now are less than five per cent. These are low compared to other merging economies where rates are 8-12 per cent, but compared to rates in developed economies these are higher."
Tim Searle, Chief Executive Officer, Global Eye, agreed that interest rates had come down over the years and consumers were to benefit as the market becomes more competitive.
"With interest rates worldwide at a historical low, it could be said that now is an attractive time to purchase property through finance. However, lest we forget that rates can and will rise so the consumer should consider whether they can afford their finance should this happen."

Another GOPGate?
A letter writer to UT's Daily Beacon alleges college Repubs abused the campus e-mail system.
SKBubba has more.
The behavior is the last thing we need at this time. It is a shame to see this mentality replicated at UT. Of course since there was no recourse against the Ragsdale administration for the same behavior I guess it is now accepted that the ends justify the means in local politics.
Is this one of the reasons people refuse to vote?
Ironically retarding the voting percentage favors incumbents. An election is supposed to be a level playing field but it has become a race to see who can raise the most money by what ever means and get access to email lists by what ever means.
This combined with less debate and less local television and radio coverage equals incumbent insurance. I am opposed to term limits but I am beginning to see that with an unlevel playing field in local elections that term limits may be required.
What do you think?
Is there less coverage of local elections on local television and radio because less people vote? Or does the reduction in local television and radio coverage of local elections contribute to less voter turnout?

Providing technical support for Information Technology (IT) or Software products world-wide is challenging enough; supporting call center software that controls and drives contact center operations is even more demanding. These operations are perceived as mission critical and demand immediate problem resolutions, often skewing the normal work-flow plans. Unlike normal software and IT systems, voice telephony based contact center solutions are more visible and attract significantly more attention from the stake-holders when things are perceived to be not functioning in the expected manner. In today's business culture of wanting everything as a commodity, it is a difficult task to convince the upper management for the required investments up-front, like setting up fully redundant systems, doing proper trial runs and planning the production runs thoroughly. This is also largely in part due to the commercial success of excellent open source telephony platforms like Asterisk, forcing the contact center domain to become more commodity driven.
At Indosoft, when we introduced Q-Suite as a multi-channel ACD, our Director of support services wanted it deployed internally to manage customer support for our contact center software. We provide remote technical support and sometimes are the first line of IT support for many contact centers world-wide. These support operations are manned directly by our highly trained technical staff, who do other technical work like installation and training as well. They are not on the phone all the time like a contact center employee. A conventional contact center is operated on the basis of standardized metrics whereas our technical support help desk supports live contact centers acting more like the customer's IT support with the additional responsibility of supporting VoIP telephony. We had to plan the deployment of the call center ACD in such a way that it allowed the staff to be a skilled technical worker who can deliver effective contact center support to the end customer.
Taking advantage of the multi-channel capability of the contact center ACD within Q-Suite, our help desk support line was integrated to handle phone support, email support and web based trouble-ticket support. We use a powerful web based trouble ticket system that is accessible to our customers for creating and updating their information on the support issues. For every new request, the system generates an auto-email that provides acknowledgement to the customer. Every new issue gets a unique ticket number. When new trouble tickets are created or existing trouble tickets are updated, an email is also sent to the contact center ACD.
The heart of the contact center software is the multi-channel ACD. It can queue phone calls, emails, and web generated trouble tickets in queues. Any number of queues can be setup, with each queue having an assigned priority and a set of skills required to handle it. The ability to push phone calls, emails and web requests into any particular queue is controlled using the Visual Call Flow Builder tool. Skills based routing in conjunction with queue priority is used by the contact center ACD to route calls to the most appropriately skilled employee available at the time to handle the Help Desk.
One interesting routing tool available within the Visual Call Flow Builder is the Inbound Call Router which has a unique and powerful call routing decision making mechanism essential for Help Desk support management. Using the input value obtained either from the call (like a DID or callerID) or from the caller through an IVR, this tool can compare the value to a list of values and determine where the call should be routed. The list of values can be in the database or uploaded from a file. For example, a list of postal code might determine how the calls should be routed. The destination could be a queue, an extension or even an external DID.
The Q-Suite has a powerful daemon that watches for events happening within the call center ACD and provide notifications. This event notification can be used to generate visible or audible alerts for certain events. If the technicians are busy with existing work, they may not be taking new calls. Should a call be flagged as a high priority call either by the event daemon, this alert will be seen by all the staff. The inbound Call Router can also be programmed from the Visual Call Flow Builder to pick-up key variables/parameters associated with the call so that the Help Desk technician will have the right pop-up information for the phone call.
We have been able to effectively combine the multi-channel ACD functionality within the call center software to provide an integrated Help Desk solution where the technical staff can engage in phone, email and web support integrated to a trouble ticket system. Q-Suite based solution with its powerful call center ACD can scale to multiple Asterisk servers and provide effective customer support for phone, email and web-driven Help Desk operations.

- 4. - Key terms in SharePoint 2013
Industry surveys show that large numbers of SharePoint users underestimate the long-term management costs of deployments. Users often overlook sound design practices that reduce SharePoint maintenance costs in the rush to rapid deployment.
Designers can keep long-term costs of SharePoint management under control by considering important aspects of collaborative applications, including support for multiple use cases, support for policy-based management and improved search and browsing.
Whether you are grappling with how to realign an existing SharePoint knowledge repository suffering from burdensome, debilitating sprawl or blue-skying -- that is, starting from scratch with a new repository project with a broad scope, reflect on your organization's needs and the suitability of a repository to meet those needs. These five design tips will help you as you shape your organization's SharePoint maintenance practices.
1. Make liberal use of metadata. New metadata management features of SharePoint allow you to define key terms and concepts in formal organizations (taxonomies) and in less structured methods (folksonomies and social tagging). More formal metadata plans require more time and planning, but they can provide consistent term sets. Folksonomies and social tagging allow users to define metadata terms and increase the likelihood of having a sufficient set of terms to cover existing and future content. However, they can run the risk of duplication, overlap and ambiguity in the terms used. Choosing between the two is a matter of balancing your need for fixed, well-defined terms against cost, time and the difficulty of updating a taxonomy. In some SharePoint maintenance practices, organizations choose to begin with a folksonomy with the intention of moving to a formal taxonomy at a later date.
2. Understand user navigation. Some may use SharePoint as an ad hoc search tool, but others may follow a more structured workflow. Determine how the SharePoint repository will be used -- in many cases, there will be multiple navigation requirements. Using metadata attributes and keyword searching can improve browsing and the overall search.
3. Support multiple use cases. Your organization's business structure may need to support multiple use cases. Two reasons organizations embrace and thrive with a SharePoint service is because they are motivated by a desire to facilitate new collaborations and because they act on unrecognized opportunities. Once the SharePoint service is aligned with the organization's needs, take some time to look at the future and entertain the notion for new collaboration. This can be done by identifying patterns across existing workflows and reusing those patterns in new workflows. By leveraging patterns, you take advantage of work already invested in search, metadata and other design elements.
4. Plan to retire content. Anyone trying to organize an already sprawling SharePoint application knows the importance of document retention policies. Content is easily created, but once in the repository, it can be difficult to discern unnecessary content from essential content. If you are considering blue-skying a prospective SharePoint hub, a retention policy may seem unnecessary. But forming one at the outset of a project can mitigate the risk of storing and maintaining obsolete content. In addition, pruning content during SharePoint maintenance could make navigation and search more efficient. For example, users will be less likely to have to decide which version of a document has the latest or most accurate content for a particular subject. Administrative metadata on content can support automated methods to archive or purge content that no longer needs to be online.
5. Analyze the structure of your content network. The relationship between documents tells users something about the importance of those documents. For example, if many documents link to one target document, then that target document is important in multiple contexts or workflows. Highly referenced documents should be easily accessible through navigation and include a full set of metadata terms to increase the likelihood they will be found. Documents with few links leading to them should be reviewed; if they contain valuable content, make sure they have appropriate metadata tags to help users find them.
Creating a useful knowledge repository is a challenge. To keep SharePoint costs within the set budget, it's essential for IT professionals to plan and consult with their organizational stakeholders. Consider how users will interact with the system and provide sufficient search and navigation support, especially with metadata. Take content lifecycles into consideration to reduce the risk of content sprawl, and use information about the linked structure of content to identify important content within the repository. A well-planned knowledge repository should provide rich rewards for its users and administrators in identifiable and unanticipated workflows.

Today is a pretty neat day to be an Iowan.
Earlier this morning the Iowa Supreme Court upheld a Polk County judge's 2007 ruling that marriage should not be limited to one man and one woman. This ruling will mean that starting April 24, Iowa will be one of only 3 states where gay couples can legally marry and the first midwestern state to do so.
The gay rights legal group, Lambda Legal, helped bring the challenge to court and represented six couples who challenged Iowa's ban on gay marriage, including long time Decorah residents Otter Dreaming and Bill Musser. The unanimous decision, read by Supreme Court Justice Mark Cady points out the Iowa Supreme court's decisions as far back as 1839 which struck down slavery laws 17 years before the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right of a slaves. Cady wrote that the ban "is unconstitutional, because the county has been unable to identify a constitutionally adequate justification for excluding plaintiffs from the institution of civil marriage."
There will be a celebration rally on the Winneshiek County Courthouse steps Saturday, April 4 at 10AM sponsored by the Waukon/Decorah chapter of PFLAG. For more information on the rally contact Amalia Vagts at 563-382-6277.
