February 21, 1789. Sir: Shortly after the breaking out of the war with Great Britain, Mr. Clinton received an appointment as brigadier-general, in which capacity he served until he was elected governor of this State, some time in the early part of the year 1777. In both these situations, from the condition of the State, which, during the greater part of the war, was its principal theatre, Mr. Clinton was frequently engaged in military duties. There is, however, no part of his character which has been more misrepresented than the military part of it. His panegyrists describe him to us as the "war-worn veteran"—the complete soldier—the consummate general. One would imagine from their stories of him that he had often, in the language of Sergeant Kite, "breakfasted upon ravelins, and picked his teeth with palisadoes,"—that he was the first of American generals—a Marius in courage—a Cæsar in skill—inferior in nothing to a Turenne or a Monticuculli, an Eugene or a Marlborough. But trust me, my dear sir, this is mere rant and romance. That Mr. Clinton is a man of courage, there is no reason to doubt. That he was upon most occasions active and vigorous, cannot be justly disputed. In his capacity of governor he was ever ready to promote the common cause, prompt in affording the aid of the militia when requisite, and scrupling not, when he thought his presence might be of use, to put himself at the head of them. But here his praise as a soldier ends. Beyond this he has no pretension to the wreath of military renown. No man can tell when or where he gave proofs of generalship, either in council or in the field. After diligent inquiry, I have not been able to learn that he was ever more than once in actual combat. This was at Fort Montgomery, where he commanded in person, and which, after a feeble and unskilful defence, was carried by storm. That post, strongly fortified by nature, almost inaccessible in itself, and sufficiently manned, was capable of being rendered a much more difficult morsel to the assailants than they found it to be. This, I own, was not the common idea at the time; but it is not the less true. To embellish military exploits, and varnish military disgraces, is no unusual policy. Besides, Governor Clinton was at the zenith of his popularity—a circumstance which disposed men's minds to take a great deal for granted. One particular in this affair deserves to be noticed. It is certain that the Governor made a well-timed retreat (I mean personally, for the greatest part of the garrison were captured), a thing which must have occasioned no small conflict in the breast of a commander nice in military punctilio. But squeamishness on this head had been illplaced. It was undoubtedly the duty of the Brigadier to provide in season for the safety of the Governor. Those who are best acquainted with the particulars of the burning of Esopus, in the fall of the year 1777, assert that his Excellency was culpably deficient in exertion on that occasion. The fact seems to have been that a large body of men remained unemployed in the vicinity, under his direction, while the descent of the enemy was made with little or no opposition. And there is room to suppose that, if a better countenance had been kept up, the evil might have been prevented. Very sincerely yours, H. G. |

Bethany Baptist Church
Saturday, March 08, 2014
Worshiping, Witnessing, Working...Together
Just for You...What We BelieveSchedule Directions |
Welcome to Bethany!Bethany Baptist Church was established in our neighborhood over fifty years ago. Our worship services emphasize the clear preaching of the Bible, biblically sound music, prayer, and loving fellowship. We believe that God sent His Son to die in the place of sinners and to offer forgiveness and eternal life to all who turn to Him and trust in Him. The New Testament calls that the Gospel – "Good News!" We believe the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and sufficient to address every issue of life with complete authority. We want to be a "Go & Tell Church," as we pursue the Great Commission. We strive to provide every member the opportunity to grow in God's grace through a better understanding of the Scripture and by reaching the world for Christ.

Poured from the firkin into a standard pint glass.
Appearance- Beer pours cloudy and copper with a very dark red-tan head. I've never seen anything like it. Head is a full finger high and lacing is big time clinging to the glass.
Smell- Kent Goldings a little overly strong on the snout with a solid malty backbone and some biscuity scents. Smells like a malty red ale.
Taste- Richer and maltier in flavor than on the sniffer. Malts are nicely biscuit ridden. Kent Goldings are pretty big on the flavor. Something about ESB's just don't scream "add extra hops to me" but this is OK.
Mouthfeel- Creamy, smooth, not astringent, medium-light bodied, and lowly carbonated.
Drinkability- Although over hopped, the beer is super drinkable and I would go for it again.

A: Had this beer on tap as cask-conditioned ale from the British hand pump and as a standard pour. This review is the cask-conditioned ale. It poured a murky amber color with a nice rocky head that gave a great curtain of lace. I drank it out of their house pint glass.
S: The smell is rich and a bit hoppy. I can already tell this is going to be smoother than the standard pour of their ESB
T: Wow! This is much better than the tap version. It is much smoother and richer of flavor. The conditioning moves the hops further back within the taste and gives it a wonderful balance. It still has that hoppy ESB finish but more controlled. It has honey notes to it as well as the hops and floral aspects.
M: Mouthfeel was medium and creamy.
D: One of the best ESBs that I have ever had. Refill!

Another winner by Barley's. Stageringly similar to their APA. A little darker copper in color than an APA with a similar head and CO2. Smells a bit more malty and toasty. Throw in some caramel, toffee, and nuttiness. Hoppiness is out of character for the style, but still good beer. Some of the extra bittering comes from the cask conditioning, which also adds smoothness and creaminess--I had the last pint from the cask, lucky me. I do recommend, the next time arround.

Many of the beers of Barley's on cask impart a different flavor that even the firkin style can't compete with. This beer was a dark amber color and had little carbonation. It had a small white bubbly head that left only trace lace. The aroma was of malt and hops with a slightly floral aspect. The flavor was of malt, hops and some caramel was present. The finish was light and slightly bitter. A nice beer on cask.

Pours a solid copper color into a pint glass. There was a pretty standard head on the beer with decent retention.
The beer smells incredible for an ESB in my opinion. I was instantly reminded of DFH 90 minute. There's strong apricot hoppiness and some minor caramel malt notes. It's a pretty strong scent which travels quite a ways from the glass.
Taste and Mouthfeel:
The smell was pretty decieving given that the beer tasted like a mixture of goldings and fuggles hops. I'm generally not a fan of either but the balance of crisp caramel malts gave them a helping hand. There's mild carbonation and a nice fruity finish.
Totally drinkable. It's nice, mild, and refreshing. It was 4.50 for a pint though...
Bottom Line:
I don't know that it was a very true version of the style but I really liked it.

Served as a sample at Barley's #1. The color was amber, with no head. The smell was a nice balance of hop and malt. The taste featured a nice malt sweetness up front, with a nice hop aftertaste. Mouthfeel was smooth. Drinkability-wise, could have a few of these.
Another fine beer from Barley's. Though not my favorite, with so many good ones, I feel more and more need to return, and have some of these beers again!

I have yet to taste a bad beer at Barley's and I doubt I ever will. Deep auburn with a nice long lasting head. Caramely sweet but with a bitter finish this was a fine drink, enjoying last drop. Mouthfeel was a bit thin but felt silky smooth with every drink. I will order this again if I get the chance.

I tasted this for the first time as I talked with the man what made it and for whom it is named, J. Scott Francis. This is an exceptionally fine ale that looks good and tastes great. It is an amber body, clear, with a nice just off-white head. Plenty of nice lace effect from this beer. The flavor follows the nose, being a nice caramel malt with plenty of hops for balance. The hops are very well integrated and do not dominate, but rather modulate the malt content. This is a very tasty beer that seemed a tad bit thin in the body.

Color was dark amber with a lasting head. Good lacing all the way through the pint. Somewhat floral/perfumey aroma (fuggles?) and a nice complex sweet flavor that lingers. Nicely balanced and very enjoyable.
Overall impression: A bit too sweet and low on the arome hops for my taste but still is very good and within the style guidelines. I wouldn't hesitate to order it again.

Tasted at Barley's 4th Annual Robert Burns Dinner & Robert Burns Scottish Export Ale Tapping Jan 25th. Named after the brewmaster at Barley's Smokehouse, you have to be pretty sure of the quality of something to name it after yourself. This is a very good ESB. Dark orangish-brown with a medium off-white head and some lacing. Aroma of floral hops with a little sweet malt thrown in for balance. Flavor is nicely bitter with a great sweet touch at the end. I'm sorry I went so long without trying this.

The Future for 'Zorro' Is Post-Apocalyptic
In Development By Scott Beggs on April 27, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat do you call it when you take a character and remove him from the environment that made him who he is? The new Zorro Reborn project. Set to be directed by pre-viz artist Rpin Suwannath, this new story would take Zorro away from the desert of the southwest during a time where phones and clean water don't exist and place him in a post-apocalyptic future desert during a time where phones and clean water don't exist.
Zorro will just never get to know the pleasure of watching Golden Girls in an air conditioned room.
I'm no purist, but taking a character from the environment that made him is always a dangerous prospect. Then again, that very type of What If? game gave the world "Superman: Red Son" so it can't be all bad. On the plus side, it might be thrilling to see a masked desperado taking on the likes of irradiated mutants, starving madmen and selfish hoarders in a barren wasteland.
On the other, the success of Batman Begins seems to have locked in our fate for reboots of this bleak kind. It's our fate to see characters thrown into far darker circumstances than we remember them in. On that note, be on the lookout for the announcement that Howdy Doody will soon be rebooted as a vampire hunter stalking the noir-ish streets of 1920s Chicago. [24 Frames]

The last Hurrah in Athens
We take our last drive into Athens today! It is a little
frantic, but we make it ok. The car is returned and we walk across the road to
the New Acropolis Museum and go in for a look. A few hours are spent here and
it is really quite good the way the whole thing is set up. The top floor is the
same outside diameter of the …
The end of the drive
We leave the pretty seaside city of Nauplion. It was very nice here. We fight our way out of the city and then into the countryside and make our first stop near a Mycenaean bridge. It is a beauty and made of the biggest stones! Then off towards the theatre of Epidaurus. This is a stop Nan put us onto when we started to look at coming to Greece …
Made it to Athens
Finally made it to Athens after 16 hours of flying and 8 hours in stop overs. We were all exhausted, so we go to the hotel, had dinner and went to sleep for 12 hours.
Today is Wednesday and we spent the day shopping in the Port of Pireaus. Now we are about to board a ferry for a 5 hour ride, to take us to the Island of Serifos.

In San Diego and Imperial Counties
By Rachel Newman
It's official. I am once again a far cry from my original budget for this holiday season. It's only December 1st and I am already wrapping, online shopping and in a non-stop brainstorm to bring the best gifts to my family this year. I can't help it. I'm a bit of a fanatic; a fanatic that tells her family affectionately each year that she is "bringing it, so be prepared."
I don't think I am alone though. The holidays are a time that we can all go a little crazy, and over-extend ourselves all in the name of jolly generosity. For those who don't know, generosity, much like food eaten off a toothpick, is guilt-free. This generous spirit that most of us embody in the final months of the year can be taken advantage of though.
Each year, your Better Business Bureau is flooded in November and December with calls and emails asking about the legitimacy of charities. The holidays are the perfect time of year for scammers to come out of the woodwork pretending to be soliciting for a good cause. We all want to give back and, much of the time, we have the inclination to give back to the charity that is easiest and provides the most immediate service.
Your BBB asks you to fight this urge. Here are a view tell-tale signs you may be dealing with a scam charity, and some tips to keep your money in your hands or the hands of a deserving charity.
Don't let the charity choose you. It may seem perfectly convenient to give to a charity that knocks on your door, calls your phone or approaches you while you're out and about, but this is exactly the sentiment that scammers prey upon. Choose to whom you give your money. It may take a little more time and effort, but giving feels better when you know your money is in the hands of someone who will use it for good deeds.
Beware of lookalike charities. Many scammers will develop a fake name for their charity that sounds remarkably like a legitimate charity. Always do your research before giving money, and you won't be duped.
Beware of contribution collectors. If a charity representative offers to pick up a donation from your home, or from under the mat on your front porch, that is a red-flag. Don't leave money out for a random person to pick up.
Don't get pressured. Legitimate charities will still want your money tomorrow. Any time you are in a high pressure situation with a charity, who is reasoning that they need your money today, just repeat those words to yourself. High-pressure sales tactics, charity and otherwise, are usually a strong indicator that the salesman or solicitor may not be on the up-and-up.
Go against your instincts and be a skeptic. It's difficult during the holiday season, but you should enter into conversations with charities with a healthy amount of skepticism. Ask questions like: "How much of my contribution goes directly to those in-need?"
Keep ahold of your heart strings. Don't get sweet-talked (or in this case sad-talked). There are a lot of sad stories in the world, but just because someone feeds you a line about necessity doesn't mean it's the right charity for you to donate to. Follow your head, not your heart.
For more information about charities, contact your BBB. For information about how to give wisely this holiday season, consult the BBB's Wise Giving Guide. It's a one-stop-shop for all of your charity questions.

About Houlgate College Football Rankings
"Out of the huddle and into the sack!"
That was the title of my late brother Deke III's article describing our grandfather's college football ranking system. Unfortunately, I cannot find the article he wrote in 1996 or I would put it up here instead of mine. Still, I wish to give my beloved brother the credit where credit is due.
My grandfather, Carroll Everard (Deke) Houlgate formulated a ranking system for College Football teams. It started in the 1930s and continued until his death in 1959, a couple of weeks before my first birthday. Deke was a nationally recognized football writer and statistician, who loved the college game. In his time, there was no BCS, although there were bowl games and several ranking systems floating around. The Houlgate ranking system was based on your won-loss record, who you played and their won-loss record. The system was meant to reward teams according to their success against other successful teams. Two factors played into his scheme 1) A letter grade based based on your team's won-loss record and 2) Points added or subtracted depending on whether you win or lose.
To go into more detail, it goes like this:
An undefeated team is an A team. A one-loss team is a B team. A two-loss team is a C team and so on to the letter H for a team with seven or more losses.
Points are awarded or taken away, depending on the letter grade of your team's opponent. When your team wins, the letter grade of your opponent downgrades to the next letter. For example if Michigan State beats previously unbeaten Iowa, Iowa's grade as an A team changes to B and Michigan State earns the points allotted for beating a B team. If Michigan State loses to Iowa, Iowa's grade remains unchanged, Michigan State's grade changes to the next lower grade. It loses one point, but this is the least amount of points because of losing to an A team. If Iowa was a B or C team, Michigan State would lose more points because of Iowa's lower grade.
Here's how teams are graded and points allotted and taken away:
If your team: | |
is undefeated | |
loses 1 game | |
loses 2 games | |
loses 3 games | |
loses 4 games | |
loses 5 games | |
loses 6 games | |
loses 7 games or more |
If your team: | ||
Opponent's Grade: | Wins, add: | Loses, subtract: |
* Opponent downgrades to B or the next letter grades and then the points for defeating a team with that grade applies. |
This point system only applies to Division I (Football Bowl System - FBS) teams. Some Division I teams play Division II (Football Championship System - FCS) and other teams outside of Division I. For scoring purposes, all non-Division I teams are regarded as H teams no matter what their records are. This is intended to close the loop and keep the system exclusive to Division I.
So there it is. It may seem very simplistic and archaic when compared to the computer generated rankings, yet anyone with enough time on their hands and mathematical aptitude (a computer with spreadsheet software helps, too) can use this system to compare and rank the teams. One flaw in the system is that some teams will tie because they score the same number of points. The letter grade may serve as a tie-breaker because one team may have a better won-loss record, but that rule cannot apply if both teams have the same letter grade.
Also note that as the season progresses, teams change letter grades and this changes the points retroactively. For example: Let's say BYU beats Colorado at the beginning of the season and earns 7 points for beating a B team. If Colorado loses again, it downgrades to a C team. The 7 points BYU earned from beating Colorado are downgraded to 6 points. In the Houlgate ranking system, the strength of schedule really depends on your opponents' won-loss records. Ideally, you want all of your opponents to be A teams until they play your team and hopefully finish out the season as B teams, thus giving your team the maximum points for the whole season. As you might guess, this is highly improbable, but this is supposed to reflect the strength of schedule element in the system.
In the years before the current tie-breaker rule was instated, the Houlgate System included way to score ranking points in the event of a tie game. In such cases, both teams would be downgraded to the next letter grade and then awarded half of the points they would have normally receive from defeating their opponent with that letter grade. For example if Michigan State, an A team, tied Iowa, also an A team, both teams would be downgraded to B teams and then you would add 3.5 points to each team's ranking score.

9. The computer telephony system of
Description The invention relates to network routing in a Computer-Telephony Integration (CTI) system where users, for example, users at multiple locations, are enabled to share and transfer a CTI session. Companies are deploying mobile employees and multiple shifts of employees. Mobile employees usually have laptops and/or handheld devices as their workstations and may also have a dedicated desk at the office. However, there are occasions where these employees will be at another company location and will plug into the network, using an available teleset. Employees are given the freedom to move about within the facilities and chose a desk to work from. At each desk are a network connection and a teleset. Some desks may have workstations for use. Other companies are deploying multiple shifts of employee that use the same physical workstations and telesets as the other shifts. These employees are usually assigned a workspace for their shift or they may select any open workspace. To enable these different types of deployments, a clear need exists for a CTI (computer telephony integration) system that can support non-secure CTI enabled telesets for all of the call center agents independently of physical location and that can also support CTI users to share enabled telesets and to transparently pass a caller or issue from one to another agent. The invention described herein relates to a system and method for CTI implemented �hotelling.� Hotelling is the functionality of sharing CTI enabled telesets among multiple users. Users may be assigned to the telesets, or they may be sharing the same teleset, or the teleset may not be assigned to a particular person. Specifically, the invention provides a method and system where each agent or user has a unique login ID and password to access the CTI features from any known CTI enabled teleset. This enables a CTI user or agent to log in at any workstation in a network and utilize the system with the CTI enabled teleset, and also to transfer a CTI transaction or interaction to another CTI user or agent. The method and system of the invention utilizes a computer telephony integration (CTI) system with a plurality of CTI-enabled telesets, each connected to an ACD or telephony switch which is connected to a CTI middleware server, and a plurality of workstations connected to the server. The system is configured so that each workstation and each teleset is identified to the server by a unique ID. This allows a user to log into the system with a user ID from any workstation and thereafter utilize computer telephony integration with a CTI enabled teleset. Additionally, a user can transfer a call, including the workstation screen information associated with the call, to another user at another workstation. The CTI hotelling functionality also enables an agent to use any host (using their unique agent id) to login to the configuration. It also enables an administrator to use an administration tool to enable hotelling for a specific machine. If the machine is enabled for hotelling, the program will use the �hostname� to get the CTI configuration. If the machine is not enabled for hotelling, the program will use the agent default teleset to get the CTI configuration. The invention is shown and illustrated by the FIGURE appended hereto. FIG. 1 shows a hotelling enabled server with two two hotelling enabled clients, one non-enabled client, a database server, application servers, a CTI middleware server, an ACD/telephony switch, and customers connected through the public switched telephone network. Hotelling is a powerful CTI tool that permits sharing of physical resources by multiple users. Users can log into the server from any enabled workstation and utilize the CTI system with the correct teleset. The teleset ID is determined by the machine name. Moreover, hotelling allows transferring calls to the right teleset by checking runtime information. The capability that the method and system of the invention provides to a mobile user is illustrated by multiple examples. In one scenario, a call center agents works at a single call center, using a different computer, workspace and teleset each day. In a second scenario, a travelling consultant is moving to different locations, using different computers in each location. In still a third scenario, the Consultant is using the same computer (e.g. a laptop computer) and logging in from different locations on different days or times of day. In all three scenarios, the employee has a teleset and extension assigned for inbound calls at his permanent office workspace. While at his desk the employee touches base with his contacts for one of the many projects that he is involved with. Consultant achieves this by either (1) plugging his laptop into the corporate network, or (2) using the workstation and CTI teleset at the hotelling location, and logging on to his company's CTI enabled Server. He navigates to the �My Contacts� view of the �Contacts� screen. From this view, he drills down on the hyperlink of the Name of the project in which he is interested. This will bring the employee to the Contacts view and he right mouse-clicks on the person he would like to contact. The floating right mouse window is presented and employee selects Make Call from the window. The CTI method and system of the invention initiates the call to the contact for the employee. The employee picks up his telephone handset or talks in his hands-free headset when the phone is answered by his contact. During his conversation, employee has navigated to areas of interest within the hotelling enabled application, and especially a CTI customer relationship management application. The conversation reaches a point where employee needs to conference in another employee, so he selects the Conference Transfer button on the CTI Toolbar and is presented with a Begin Conference pop-up box. Employee types in the name of the person he wants to conference, performs the search and selects the Call button to initiate the conference call. The CTI method and system initiates the conference call by placing the current call on hold, dialing the number, and forwards Employee existing view to the fellow consultant to be conferenced. The view is forwarded so that the person joining the conference has the appropriate information to participate in the call. When the person joining the call accepts the call from the CTI Toolbar, the voice connection between the parties is established, and the view from Employee is presented to the recipient. After making a round of calls from his desk with his CTI enabled application, Employee heads to another location for a meeting and to continue making his calls. He arrives at the other location and finds an empty workspace with a connection to the corporate network and a phone that has been CTI enabled for the method and system of the invention. Again Employee plugs his laptop into the corporate network or uses a workstation already installed, and logs on to his hotelling enabled application and the company's CTI Server and continues, as if he was at his permanent desk, to make calls to his contacts with CTI. In these two scenarios, Employee goes to a different location and (1) uses the same computer, but logs in from a different location, and (2) uses a different computer. While Employee is in the office, he is able to accept inbound calls from his workspace with the CTI toolbar, menu items, or shortcuts. This is true whether he is at his permanent desk or at a desk with a CTI enabled teleset in another office. The method and system of the invention is also useful to roaming CTI users. Consider a Corporation, that has sales offices throughout the world. Many of their sales staff visit their sales offices as needed. Therefore they do not have assigned workspaces at their sales offices. Each workspace in the sales office is equipped with a PC workstation and a CTI enabled teleset. The sales team members do not have dedicated telesets and extensions for inbound calls but are dependent on the workspace they are using at a specific time. The sales team members are assigned an extension. Calls to sales team members are usually directed to their voicemail boxes, unless they are in the office and logged into the server, in which case, calls are directed to the appropriate CTI enabled teleset. When members of the sales team visit their sales office, they would select a vacant workspace. The sales team members are not tied to a specific workspace and are free to select and use any available workspace in the office. Consider a sales team member who comes into the office to make follow up calls to contacts associated with his accounts. He logs on, with his own unique ID and password, to the company's CTI enabled server, navigates to the Accounts, screen and clicks on the hyperlink of the account of interest. He then selects contacts from the Account Contact view that he wants to follow up with. Once the individual is selected, he clicks the right mouse button on the contact and selects the Make Call option from the pop up menu. The CTI Server dials the contact and the sales team member picks up the telephone handset when the phone is ringing. While the sales team member is in the office, he is able to accept inbound calls from his workspace with the CTI toolbar, menu items, and/or shortcuts. Shared telesets and workstations among CTI users is another aspect of the invention. Consider a Corporation that provides a 24/7 customer contact center to service their customers. The days are partitioned into three eight-hour shifts of three hundred agents per shift. At each of the three hundred workspaces is a PC workstation and a CTI enabled teleset. For each shift, agents are assigned to specific workspaces. Thus, three different agents throughout a 24-hour period share each workspace. These three agents also share the same permanent telesets for inbound non-ACD calls. Agents log in to the server with their own unique ID and password at their assigned workspace. The agents automatically log into their ACD queues at start up and perform telephony controls from the CTI toolbar, the CTI Menu, and the right mouse menus. Current views are also transferred when calls are transferred to another CTI user. While the agents are at their workspace, they may accept inbound calls on their non-ACD line with the CTI toolbar, menu items, and shortcuts. It is seen that the method and system of the invention provide the user with a high degree of CTI connectivity and a high degree of CTI flexibility. The following defined terms are used in this document. Automated Call Distributor (ACD)�An Automated Call Distributor may be a component of a telephony switch or it may be an external server. ACDs are features that route an inbound call from the telephony switch's point of view. Agents, groups/queues and routing steps are defined within the ACD for call routing purposes. This is usually confined to one telephony switch. Whereas, CTI can enable the routing of calls and data to multiple switches. Call Center Agents�Users of the system who receive and make calls, and track responses/opportunities pertaining to campaigns Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)�Integration of telephony networks and data networks to allow integrated and seamless telephony control from a desktop application Hotelling�The functionality of sharing CTI enabled telesets among multiple users. Users may be assigned to the telesets, or they may be sharing the same teleset, or the teleset may not be assigned to a particular person. Teleset�An augmented telephone with CTI buttons and features, connected to and integrated with a CTI enabled server through an ACD (or switch) for use in call centers. The interconnections and architecture of these various elements is illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 1 shows a hotelling enabled client-server system with a database server, 21, serving three clients, 11, 12, and 13. Each client has a teleset and a workstation. Two of the clients, 11, and 13, are hotelling enabled, and one client, 12, is not hotelling enabled. The client workstations are connected to the database server, 21, the application servers, 31, and the CTI middleware server, 51, through a LAN. The telesets are connected to the CTI middleware server, 51, through an ACD/Telephony Switch, 41, to the CTI middleware server, 51. The customers, 101, are connected to the system through a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), 111, and the ACD/Telephony Switch, 41. Hotelling is a powerful CTI tool that permits sharing of physical resources by multiple users. Users can log into the server from any enabled workstation and utilize the CTI system with the correct teleset. The teleset ID is determined by the machine name. Moreover, hotelling allows transferring calls to the right teleset by checking runtime information. The CTI method and system of the invention provides computer telephony integration to support a broad variety of Automated Call Distributors (ACD) and telephony switches to allow rapid deployments of call center technology. FIG. 1 shows a hotelling enabled CTI system with a hotelling enabled CTI server 21, three CTI terminals, 11, 12, 13, and CTI and hotelling enabled telesets. Hotelling The CTI method and system of the invention supports hotelling and multi-shift call center deployments by providing the ability for employees to share workspaces while providing universal access to the server application with the associated teleset enabled via CTI. As a result, call centers can successfully implement 24�7 inbound and outbound call center operations while leveraging shared hardware technology and resources. In addition, the CTI method and system of the invention allows call centers to implement flexible staffing strategies by allowing agents to rotate workspaces based on work schedules and workspace availability. CTI hotelling features include support for multiple users to share the same CTI enabled teleset, support for any agent to use a single login to access Siebel CTI from any hotel-enabled teleset, and reduced CTI administration by not requiring association of every employee for hotelling-enabled telesets If a workstation is hotelling enabled, the application will use the hostname to find the teleset, and the configuration. In the prior CTI architectures, there is no link between teleset and hostname. However, in the method and system of the present invention a HOST field is created the in All Teleset applet or database fields, to create the link between the teleset and the hostname. When the CTI enabled application starts up, it checks that the agent is a valid CTI agent, that is, a valid entry in the appropriate field of the All Teleset applet or database. If there is not a valid CTI agent in this field, CTI will normally be disabled. If there is the valid agent, the application will use the local hostname to find the teleset from a system configuration table, such as a S_C_TELESET table. However, when data is found, hotelling is enabled for this workstation, and the application will use this teleset data to find the configuration. Since the hotelling feature creates runtime data, a user does not have a static link with any specific teleset. Therefore the CTI method and system of the invention creates the mapping between hostname and agent for providing dynamic information. The system stores the hostname to a database table, as the S_CTI_USER table in Siebel. When the application starts up successfully, it stores the hostname to S_CTI_USER table by username. When the application is shutting down, it removes the hostname from the database. When an administrator enables the hotelling feature for a machine, the administrator specifies the hostname for a teleset in the All Telesets applet in the All Telesets view. The Administrator can also use Agents View to monitor/modify the agent-host runtime relationship. Algorithms and procedures The following pseudo code describes procedures on the driver manager. Startup. During startup the system checks for a valid user while marking a hotelling flag �false.� If no valid user is found, the system updates the hostname field for tracking and hostname. If a valid user is found, the hotelling flag is set to �true� and hotelling is enabled. The following pseudo code is illustrative: Check that employee is a valid CTI user. Mark the hotelling flag to be false. Use hostname to check the S_CTI_TELESET table to find valid hotelling teleset. If found, this machine supports hotelling and is open to every agent. Set hotelling flag to �true �. Update the hostname field in S_CTI_USER for tracking agent/hostname. If not found, update the hostname field in S_CTI_USER. Use the default teleset for the valid CTI user. Shutdown: Remove hostname from S_CTI_USER table. When calling or transferring to an employee using a hotelling enabled teleset, the system searches for the hostname in the S_CTI_USER table, database, or applet, by user name. If an entry is not found, the work phone number is used. If found, this extension is used with the hostname in the application. Find the hostname from S_CTI_USER table by user name. If not found, use work phone in Employee. If found, get the extension by hostname. While the invention has been described with respect to certain preferred embodiments and exemplifies, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention thereby, but solely by the claims appended hereto.
