Some common parasomnias include night terrors, nightmares, confusional arousals, and sleepwalking (somnambulism). Teeth grinding, sleep groaning, sleep talking, and bedwetting can occur during any sleep period. Must Read Articles Related to Sleep and Sleep Disorders in Children

I have loved this scent from the very first time I smelled it, and I still love it to this day! I was the first in my circle to wear it, and I STILL get compliments, every time I spritz it on!

I bought this fragrance on a whim, pretty inexpensive, pretty cool bottle. I owund up ranking this as one of my top two favorite fragrances of all time. It's described as oriental, which, yes, it has that bent, but to me it fits more in the woodsy category. It definitely has a nose, but is not overpowering. FYI I am someone who cannot wear floral fragrances, they clash with my chemistry. If you are one like me who likes more woodsy (remember Halston?) you will enjoy this fragrance.

HHS' AIDS.gov to Use Blogs, Virtual Worlds, and Social Networks to Deliver HIV Information for World AIDS Day 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Contact: OPHS Press Office |
The HHS Office of HIV/AIDS Policy's AIDS.gov will recognize the 20th annual World AIDS Day on Dec. 1 with a special focus on reducing HIV/AIDS-related stigma and promoting HIV testing through blogs, virtual worlds, and social networks. This World AIDS Day will also mark the second anniversary of AIDS.gov, an online gateway to all federal domestic HIV /AIDS information and resources.
AIDS.gov is partnering with the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Blog Catalog, a social network for bloggers, to host "Bloggers Unite on World AIDS Day", a blogging call to action. On Dec. 1, bloggers from across the United States and around the world will write about HIV/AIDS. To learn more about this event, visit: http://unite.blogcatalog.com/
AIDS.gov will give an online presentation about HIV/AIDS in Second Life, a computer-based, 3-D virtual world. The National Library of Medicine, people living with HIV/AIDS, and others are organizing this event along with several other Second Life World AIDS Day events. Activities will include presentations, displays, virtual red ribbons, candle lighting memorial ceremonies, and more. To learn more about these events, visit: http://www.karunasl.info/WorldAIDSDaySL
AIDS.gov will link people to HIV testing information, a critical component to curbing this epidemic, across all of their World AIDS Day activities and as part of their ongoing efforts. To find local HIV testing locations, people can send a text message with their ZIP code to "KNOWIT" (566948) or can visit http://www.hivtest.org. More than 33 million people worldwide are estimated to be living with HIV, including 1 million in the United States. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control Prevention's latest national data, about 56,300 new HIV infections occurred in 2006, an increase from the previous estimate of 40,000 annual new HIV infections.
"Stigma continues to be one of the biggest obstacles to tackling this epidemic--many people still aren't willing to talk about HIV or take an HIV test," said Miguel Gomez, director of AIDS.gov. In response, AIDS.gov developed the "Facing AIDS for World AIDS Day 2008" campaign. The campaign encourages online social network members to upload pictures of themselves wearing red ribbons, the symbol of AIDS, and to post these photos and HIV testing information on their social network profiles on World AIDS Day. The campaign aims to reduce stigma and to promote HIV testing by showing the faces of real people who care about HIV/AIDS and are willing to share the message with their friends and family. To learn more about the campaign visit: http://www.aids.gov/world_aids_day.html

Everyone keeps telling me that Revel will improve on the already-impressive entertainment scene in Atlantic City.
And if the bands that I hear are coming to Revel actually get announced, those people are correct.
Sources tell me that the Black Keys, the Ohio-based rock band led by Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney will be the first band to take the stage at Revel after the megaresort opens April 2.
Since debuting in 2002, the Black Keys have progressively built a large fanbase, elevating itself from garage band that played underground clubs to a large festival favorite to Grammy winner. They won three Grammys in 2011, including Best Rock Performance, Best Alternative Music Album and Best Recording Package.
Even bigger will be the debut of Coldplay, which is rumored to play not one - but two - shows at the new 5,000-plus-seat theater, which may end up being the smallest venue Coldplay hits in the country on their current world tour. One of the biggest bands on the planet, the seven-time Grammy-winning British band is touring in support of its latest album, "Mylo Xyloto."
Two other major bands are also expected to be announced, including Journey with singer Arnel Pineda, and Maroon 5, which has received a renaissance of sorts thanks to lead singer Adam Levine's presence on the No. 1 show in America, "The Voice."
Revel would not confirm any of the dates, but that sounds like a strong beginning for the upstart resort.
Celebrity sightings
Tony Orlando, a legendary performer known for his songs "Candida" and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree," was in town last weekend. He was honored at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa with the Seven Seals Award from the Department of Defense, which is the highest level Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve award given to civilians. The state of New Jersey recognized Orlando, who travels around America and overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain troops. Brigadier Gen. James J. Grant, New Jersey Armed National Guard Chief of the Joint Staff, presented the award with Don Tretola, Department of Defense State Vice Chair.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Albert Young was at the Chelsea last weekend to help launch the Athletes for Vets program and to also celebrate his birthday. The nonprofit organization offers individuals an opportunity to pay tribute to U.S. military service men and women through service, scholarship and awareness. He had some company, particularly at C5, where they partied in VIP booths, danced all night and drank everything from Moet Rose to Grey Goose. The weekend was hosted by Dereck Faulkner, former Philadelphia eagles wide receiver, and other participants included former Minnesota Vikings running back Sean James and New York Jets running back Shonn Greene.
Pat "Deep Dish" Bertoletti continued his reign as king cake eating champion at Showboat Casino-Hotel's Fat Tuesday event. Devouring 10½ king cakes, winning $2,000 in the process. He took on some serious professional competitive eaters, including Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas, who came in second with 8¾ cakes.
America's Next Top Dog?
Showboat, the only casino in town that allows a maximum of two dogs up to 50 pounds per room to stay at the hotel, presents its first "America's Next Top Dog Model" competition 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 3. Six canine contestants will participate for the coveted crown and become the face of Showboat's Pet Stay program.
The event, which is free to the public, will take place in the Harlem Ballroom, and dogs will be judged in three categories, including an obstacle course, talent and costume. Jakes Dog House will be on hand supplying a special Doggie Buffet for the contestants.
Each finalist received a two-night stay at Showboat, complimentary breakfast at the Mansion, $100 food credit at Scarduzio's Steak, Sushi, Lounge and more. The winner will receive five overnight stays in a Pet Stay room, $250 fodo and beverage credit, two tickets to any HOB show and a year subscription to Fido Friendly Magazine. Plus, the dog will become the official "spokes-dog."
Maxwell Awards this weekend
One of the biggest sports events of the year returns Friday, March 2, as the Maxwell Football Club Awards will be held at Harrah's Resort.
The 75th annual event will feature a who's-who of sports figures, but the main honoree is Stanford University Quarterback Andrew Luck, who is expected to be the No. 1 pick in this year's NFL draft.
The Maxwell Football Club is the oldest football club of its kind and has honored everyone from Roger Staubach to Peyton Manning. Aside from the main award, other award-winners expected to attend include Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy, legend Archie Manning, ESPN's Mike Tirico and more.
A free, open-to-the-public press conference will be held 11:30 a.m. Friday in the Concert Venue.
For the dinner, tickets are $300 or $3,500 for a table of 12, and can be purchased at www.maxwellfootballclub.org or call 215-643-3833.
Dance for a cause
The Alcove Center for Grieving Children and Families and KOOL 98.3-FM are partnering 6:30 to 10 p.m. Friday, March 2, for "The Alcove A GoGo," a retro dance party at the Club Harlem Ballroom at Showboat.
The event will be broadcast live, and the event will also feature local radio personalities, menu tastings from Scarduzio's, the Foundation Room, Luke Palladino's, Doc's Place, Formica Bros. Caf�, and the Mays Landing Golf & Country Club.
There will also be an auction of autographed memorabilia, and partygoers are encouraged to dress in their finest '60s garb.
Tickets, priced at $75, include one free beverage and are priced at $75, four for $240 and 10 for $500. Call 609-484-1133. Proceeds benefit The Alcove.
Old Homestead
honored by Zagat
The Old Homestead Steak House, which I think is one of the best steakhouses in the city, was named Atlantic City's "Top Restaurant" by Zagat's 2012 America's Top Restaurants Guide. Congrats to Executive Chef Romeo DiBona, his staff, the servers and the Sherry brothers.
New attractions open at Trop
You now have two new reasons to go to the Tropicana.
For starters, the Talk of the Walk opened a location inside The Quarter recently. Owned and operated by the Lovitz family for three generations, Talk of the Walk opened its doors on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in 1951 and has been offering fine women's fashion ever since.
Also, the Family Fun Station recently debuted in the North Tower of the Tropicana to offer families and alternative to the adult choices at the Trop. The Family Fun Station is an arcade filled with videogames, pinball, skeeball and other games.
"We're excited to offer our guests these new entertainment and shopping options to furtsays Tony Rodio, president and chief executive officer, in a press release. "Talk of the Walk and the Family Fun Station are just the beginning of the exciting new offerings Tropicana has in the works. Look for more announcements coming soon."
Sheraton earns high environmental rating
The Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center achieved a 3 Green Key rating through the Green Key Eco-Rating Program, a rating earned by hotels that take significant steps to protect the environment, such as strong environmental programs, management practices, training programs and engineering solutions.
According to Sheraton representatives, the Atlantic City location has proactively sought out new ways to implement green initiatives, including single-stream recycling as well as new menu items featuring locally grown, Jersey Fresh selections produced by sustainable farming growers.
Sheraton and Starwood Hotels across the country also do other things, such as: installation of separate recycling trash bins in guestrooms; electronic thermostats in each guestroom to conserve energy; recycling of building materials; kitchen fryer oil sent for recycling; rain sensor irrigation systems; LED lighting in exit signs and elevator call buttons; and more.
For three years Sheraton Atlantic City participated in Earth Hour, a global initiative in which towns and cities across the world turn off their lights for one hour.
"As the health of our planet and energy consumption continues to emerge as one of the great challenges for modern society, it has become clear that the way we view our business needs to change," says Jeffrey Albrecht, general manager of Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel, in a statement. "We have taken the lead in our community embracing initiatives that are environmentally responsible, while improving the way we run our daily operations."
At The Shore Art Show report
I want to thank everyone who came and enjoyed another success At The Shore Art Show & Wine Tasting that was held at the beautiful Atlantic City Country Club in Northfield.
The benefit by the Greater Atlantic City Concierge Association and the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority raised enough money to provide up to six scholarships for hospitality education. They will awarded to students majoring in hospitality management at Richard Stockton College, Atlantic Cape Community College and Fairleigh Dickinson University on May 12 at the ACCVA Foundation's annual Host Awards at Baordwalk Hall.

requirement, and we try to make sure that we achieve it, but we don't have any tests for it. does anyone have any great ideas (and perhaps energy to implement) about how to do some nice tests? it would be nice to do it is a very low maintenance/automatic way. ben +

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Mar 01, 2005
As the baby boomers near retirement, defects in the nation's private pension system are becoming obvious. Only about half of workers contribute to an employer-sponsored pension plan in any given year, and Individual Retirement Account (IRA) participation rates are substantially lower. Among workers with tax-preferred retirement saving plans, few make the maximum allowable contribution. And despite the many private savings incentives, many households approach retirement with meager funds.
American workers need savings plans that will adequately fund their retirement. We recommend changes in the current system that provide flexibility, versatility and expanded investment opportunities. These are keys to encouraging workers at all income levels to invest in their future retirement, today.
Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information visit the Retirement Security Project on PewHealth.org.

Elvis..............way, way in front of anyone else
I only occasionally listen to other artists..................I just don't get bored of listening to him
Hi, everybody! It's safe to say that we all love Elvis and his music. Now I would like to ask all of you to list your top five artists. I think it would be fun to find out if we have other artists in common other than Mr. Presley. So, grab your keyboards and join in!
My top five artists:
1. The Beatles (1957-1970) The golden "Boys" from Liverpool were the best and most consistent musical act of all time.
2. Bob Dylan (1959- ) "Mr. Tambourine Man" is as great a songwriter as he's a powerful singer.
3. Elvis Presley (1953-1977) Our man was THE "Big Boss Man" of rock & roll. Nobody can take that away from him.
4. Marvin Gaye (1958-1984) "That Stubborn Kinda Fellow" was one of the most visionary and gifted artists of all time.
5. The Rolling Stones (1962- ) These "Wild Horses" define hard rock.
Trust me, I have many more. Feel free to list more than five if you like.
Elvis..............way, way in front of anyone else
I only occasionally listen to other artists..................I just don't get bored of listening to him
"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger
1. Elvis - THE greatest ever.
2. Sam Cooke - Such a smooth voice, such a soulful voice, such a wonderful songwriter.
3. Neil Diamond - Like Elvis, Neil really is a genre of his own I believe.
4. Johnny Mathis - His voice...just...so crisp and clear, it's unreal. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in January and it was AMAZING
5. The Beach Boys - Brian Wilson is a genius and I love their harmony.
Don't strongly care about anyone else to be honest...
top five in no particular order....

I recently downloaded Windows 8. Below, I have listed 8 pros, and 8 cons from my experience thus far with Windows 8.
Your experience with Windows 8 will be different of course. I hope that you don't have as many installation problems as I did.
8 Pros for 8
- New! New! I love new things…
- It is at a great price of $39.99, compared to previous versions of Windows (Windows 7 costed over $100).
- Pro/Con: Your Microsoft Account is merged with Windows (for myself, this is a con).
- Speed… I'm finding Windows 8 to be much faster!
- Microsoft Office 2013 (Get the Preview for free) is awesome!
- The Start Screen just looks cool, maybe it's a fad… maybe not.
- The boot is incredibly fast, clocking in at 5 seconds.
- The apps are great for the most part, all enjoying the new 'metro' design language.
8 Cons for 8
- I had so many installation problems with Windows 8. I spent hours on Twitter with their support account, and hours more on their phone support. In the end it worked.
- This is a massive file. 2GB. If you have a slow internet connection, DO NOT buy the digital download.
- Once Microsoft Office 2013 is available, it will cost $99/year. I am not looking forward to that.
- The Charms features are difficult to figure out at first.
- Is it just me, or are some pre-installed apps taking a really long time to load? Windows Store, for example.
- Setting everything up again. Trying to remember all of your passwords (You are using different passwords, right?) is not fun.
- Apps are far and few between. The ones that exist are great, but it is a limited selection.
- Internet Explorer is still the default browser and is still horrible.
What do you think of Windows 8? Leave your review in the comments.
Kyle Stewart will be publishing his final review before next Tuesday, on Magnae Famae.

TORONTO - The Raptors' backcourt rotation continues to take shape.
A day after taking a chance on the inexperienced Dwight Buycks, Toronto has reached an agreement with veteran point guard D.J. Augustin, inking him to a one-year, $1.26 million deal according to Yahoo Sports.
Augustin, 25, is coming off a rough year with the Pacers after spending his first four NBA seasons as a member of the Charlotte Bobcats. In just 16 minutes per game, Augustin averaged a career-low 4.7 points and 2.2 assists, shooting just 35 per cent from the field while appearing in 76 regular-season games and 19 playoff contests for the Pacers in 2012-13.
The former Texas Longhorns guard was drafted ninth overall by the Bobcats in 2008. He scored a career-best 14.4 points to go along with 6.1 assists for Charlotte in 2010-11 before a series of knee injuries slowed him the following season. Augustin signed with Indiana as a free agent last summer.
Augustin figures to become the primary back up to starting point guard Kyle Lowry, although the newly signed Buycks will also be in the mix for playing time at the position.
A low-risk signing, the hope is that Augustin can bounce back following a poor season and rediscover the success he experienced as a starter in Charlotte. A career 37 per cent three-point shooter, Augustin addresses a need for the Raptors and could provide a much-needed offensive spark off the bench while complementing the less experienced Buycks.
Toronto was able to free up space under the salary cap after using the amnesty provision on Linas Kleiza Tuesday evening. By avoiding the NBA's luxury tax, and the steep financial penalties that go with it, the Raptors can now use a portion of their mid-level exception to sign Augustin, if they so choose. The non-taxpayer mid level is valued at $5.15 million, up from the $3.18 million exception for taxpaying teams, however most of that has already been allocated towards the contract of another former Pacer, Tyler Hansbrough.
Camby's homecoming is cut short
The Raptors also came to terms on a buyout agreement with veteran centre Marcus Camby who was placed on waivers, the team announced Wednesday.
Camby, 39, was originally drafted by Toronto with the second overall pick in 1996 but expressed his reluctance on returning to the Raptors after being acquired from the Knicks last week. Camby was a part of the deal that netted the Raptors Steve Novak, Quentin Richardson and three draft picks in exchange for Andrea Bargnani.
The 17-year vet was due to make $3.38 million this coming season and $4.18 million in 2014-15, although the second year was not fully guaranteed. Details of the buyout are not known but the agreement should allow the team to utilize the veteran's minimum (roughly $1.35 million) on another player, if they choose to do so.
The Raptors' roster would stand at 14 following the signing of Augustin. That includes the contract of Richardson, whose status with the team remains uncertain at this time.
Canadian point guard Kevin Pangos has been proving doubters wrong during his time at Gonzaga University and he hopes to continue to do so at the next level. More...

Eastern Henrico FISH Provides Assistance
Eastern Henrico FISH depends on the help of local churches and charitable organizations to get members in the community back on their feet. The non-profit serves Henrico residents east and south of Mechanicsville Turnpike including Highland Springs, Varina, and Sandston providing clothes, food, and financial assistance for people with short term emergencies. "We strive for FISH's presence to help strengthen Eastern Henrico through the organizations and community that supports us," said Vickie Martin, director of FISH. Martin has been with FISH since 2002 and got involved with the organization through her church, New Bridge Baptist, and has worked as a volunteer and staff member before becoming director. FISH, which is a nationwide organization, has been in Metro Richmond for 38 years and since 2001 has served clients and donors out of Village Presbyterian Church with a clothes closet, food pantry, information and referral services. "We moved to the church to be more accessible to clients and to make it easier for donors to drop things off," said Martin. The organization helps victims in all kinds of situations that have put them at a disadvantage. FISH covers portions of rent, a mortgage, car repair, or utilities for those that qualify. FISH has established criteria to help the people in the community who are desperately in need of financial aid or other items and takes time to consider circumstances in each household. Last year, it served 400 households, or about 1,100 individuals. "We look at what the need is, we see them through that emergency, and are there to help them get through that bump in the road," said Martin. All of the items such as clothes and food are donated by the community or from members of the 26 churches that are involved with FISH. The group partners with these churches, civic groups, businesses, social services and other government agencies and non-profits to better serve their clients. "We rely on churches in the community for support," said Martin. Fundraisers are held by the non-profit to spread awareness and help to aid their mission. An annual benefit concert is held to bring everyone involved in the organization together and take up donations. It's usually the organization's largest event and is held at different venues each year. The most recent concert was held at Sandston Baptist Church. Eastern Henrico FISH has an average of 50 volunteers, with several coming in each week to assist families and individuals over the phone and work in the clothes closet and food pantry rooms. In 2009, volunteers gave 3,000 hours of their to help clients of FISH. "Without the support of our volunteers we couldn't maintain," said Martin. Eutanaha Fluker has volunteered for FISH for over 20 years and has seen the positive effect the organization has on the community. "FISH does a good job of determining what a person's real needs are and referring them to churches," said Fluker. Like Martin, Fluker is a member of New Bridge Baptist and got involved after word spread about the growing needs of the non-profit. "It's really important for churches to work together to do what we do for FISH," Fluker said. Fluker has served as a church representative for the group in the past, worked the phone taking calls from clients and spent hours in the food pantry and clothes closet. Around this time of year, FISH receives a good amount of food donations for its food pantry but is in serious need of financial donations. It's also seeking other churches that are interested in joining the cause. "We're always looking to add churches to support our mission," said Martin. FISH is available to people in the Eastern Henrico area Monday- Friday from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. Families or individuals needing assistance from FISH, or people who wish to make a contribution, can reach the organization at 222-5564. |

Khumba-ya? Not quite
But animated South African film has its moments
You might have seen something called Khumba while clicking through a Redbox recently (or perhaps it was nestled in some hidden corner of a DVD sale shelf). And chances are, you passed it by without much of a thought. Makes sense; that goggle-eyed cartoon zebra on the cover (a zebra that's dangerously close to becoming Madagascar copyright infringement) doesn't inspire much confidence.
But when Khumba starts up, it looks nothing like you'd expect. The camera gazes across the savannah and the soundtrack swells with triumphant South African vocals. > Read more.

Verint Launches Industry's First "5th-Generation" Enterprise Workforce Optimization Solution
Verint Software Sets New Standards for Real-Time Enterprise Collaboration, Navigation and Ease of Use, Total Cost of Ownership, System Administration, and Depth of Functionality
Company's Impact 360 Suite Features WFO Market-First Single, Consolidated Server for Complete Solution
MELVILLE, N.Y., May 2, 2011 — Verint® Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNT) today announced the availability of the enterprise workforce optimization (WFO) market's first and only "fifth-generation" suite. The latest version of the Impact 360® Workforce Optimization™ software from Verint Witness Actionable Solutions® became generally available in Q1 2011.
With Impact 360, organizations can benefit from a solution set that is truly unified across the full range of WFO capabilities—enabling them to capture, analyze and act on customer, business and market intelligence; gain a singular and complete view of individual customer interactions, experiences and histories; maximize information and workflow across functions; and take a customer experience management approach that's Real Time at the Right Time™. By mastering the balance between efficiency and effectiveness, organizations can drive customer loyalty, top-line revenue, customer service operating margins and compliance through continuous performance improvement.
The fifth-generation Impact 360 Workforce Optimization solution represents a strategic architectural release that sets new standards in the market for unified, enterprise WFO—including real-time enterprise collaboration, navigation and ease of use, total cost of ownership, simplified system administration and depth of functionality. This latest version of Impact 360 will integrate with the company's new Voice of the Customer Analytics platform that combines all sources of customer interaction data into a single holistic platform for cross-channel analysis and individual customer tracking capabilities.
"Our fifth-generation enterprise workforce optimization solution sets a new standard for WFO and what it can bring to organizations in the way of acquiring voice of the customer and other key business insight, and then putting that intelligence into action through the most mature WFO platform in the market," says Nancy Treaster, senior vice president and general manager, Verint Witness Actionable Solutions.
According to analyst firm Gartner, "Interest in contact center workforce optimization (WFO) is increasing as organizations are drawn to the associated value proposition (cost of ownership, single-vendor relationship, cross-function workflow)."1 Notes Gartner Research Director Jim Davies, "If there is one word customer service organizations need to try to avoid it's the word 'siloed.' Whether talking about voice of the customer technology or any of the solutions that comprise workforce optimization, all should be viewed from a broader unified suite perspective, rather than a collection of siloed applications." Adds Davies, "Voice of the Customer Analytics as part of a broader enterprise workforce optimization suite represents a dynamic area that's really super-charging WFO."
Verint Workforce Optimization in Action
"As a national nonprofit credit counseling agency, we answer calls from people in financial distress across the country 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," says Dan Brown, Chief Information Officer for CredAbility. "We needed help building daily work schedules for our contact center representatives, and the Impact 360 Workforce Optimization solution from Verint has allowed us to meet demand from people in financial distress, such as those trying to avoid foreclosure, yet meet our scheduling needs. Our goal was to deploy a solution that would further enhance our clients' experiences, while also improving our ability to forecast and schedule our agents' flexibility, and accurately and more routinely track and manage adherence. Each day is different for us, and call volumes vary throughout the day, but this solution helps us meet our contact center goals while best serving our clients."
Since 1964, CredAbility has been helping people in financial distress move from crisis to control by providing compassionate service with innovative, yet practical solutions. CredAbility provides counseling and education 24/7, in both English and Spanish, online (www.CredAbility.org) and by telephone. It also offers in-person counseling at 25 offices located across the southeastern U.S.
According to Brown, the feature-rich fifth-generation solution, as well as the thorough implementation process, were key to deploying the Impact 360 solution from Verint. "Our staff was particularly impressed with the final optimization step in Verint's five-step implementation process, seeing it as key to the success of our deployment," adds Brown.
Setting New Standards; Raising Usability and End Benefits with Enterprise WFO
Verint's fifth-generation Impact 360 solution can bring significant usability, efficiency and productivity gains to businesses with all WFO solutions and capabilities on the single, unified Verint platform. Benefits include having a single point of access to all WFO functions, locations and data; single system administration; a single agent database; a single security model; and a single graphical user interface (GUI) for easy navigation across WFO applications.
With fifth-generation Impact 360 come a host of advances across the software's architecture and core functionality including:
- Real Time at the Right Time Enterprise Collaboration
Impact 360 presents organizations with data that is Real Time at the Right Time to support rapid, informed decision making. It also provides visibility and intelligence to employees across roles, levels and functions—from agents and off-phone/back-office staff, supervisors and managers; to analysts and system administrators; to coaches, training and development personnel; to marketing and business unit leaders. With such views come greater insight, a look into the big picture, and the ability to simplify information sharing across functions and departments.
Taking Real Time at the Right Time further, capabilities—such as those included in Impact 360 Desktop and Process Analytics™—can help front-line agents and back-office staff with guidance during customer interactions and/or back-office transactions. Pop-up suggestions and alerts recommend best next steps based on desktop screen events and sequences. The result is an accurate, practical, IT-light, real-time guidance solution. - Enhanced Navigation and Ease of Ease
Impact 360 is now even simpler to view and use through a new unified dashboard. It features a single entry point that allows users to move from one WFO function to the next with ease using a central navigation bar that provides cascading solution drop-downs and a centralized view across all applications. Where most WFO solutions in the market require users to open multiple point solutions and jump from one to the next to get to the information they need, Verint's fifth-generation WFO provides easy navigation across functions, making it efficient to use and resulting in a shorter learning curve. As the suite grows to include new functionality, customers benefit from familiar user interfaces and administration, simplifying the ability for agents, training and management, as well as customer experience executives, to operate it with ease and confidence. - Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Impact 360 delivers a robust, enhanced enterprise architecture featuring new levels of scalability; an advanced technology stack, including support for the Windows 2008 operating system; virtualization; resiliency; redundancy; a single consolidated server; simplified installation and maintenance; and a clear path to add new applications as organizations' needs change and grow.
Impact 360 provides a structure that enables its customers to benefit from easier installation and implementation, reduced learning curves and training expenses, a structured upgrade path and single support organization, and lower maintenance and software expenses—all of which translate into lower total cost of ownership and a faster return on investment. It also enables customers to add additional Verint workforce optimization modules to those they already use by simply activating a license key, eliminating the need for subsequent installation logistics and costs. Further, the company provides a host of professional services and programs specifically designed to help drive a holistic view of customer service performance, maximize investments and ensure ongoing success. - Simplified Administration
With simplified administration has come the ability to manage users through a single organizational hierarchy with role-based security, centralized enterprise management, and archiving that is rules-based, distributed and features scheduled data transfers. As a result, organizations benefit from a faster and more consistent way to administer their user and system components, and a flexible archival system that can match the demands of both centralized and distributed infrastructures. - Industry-Leading Depth of Functionality and Application Convergence
The latest version of Impact 360 more tightly unifies WFO, in particular with Quality Monitoring (QM) and Recording, Voice of the Customer Analytics, Workforce Management (WFM), Performance Management, Coaching and eLearning. For QM/Recording, the converged technology features triple the recording capacity, unified recording management and centralized administration, and reporting across TDM, IP and mixed telephony environments. Coaching functionality, being synergistic to QM, now comes standard as part of the company's QM packaged solution, and eLearning now features question-level tracking and lesson analysis. Performance management scorecards offer greater flexibility, more granularity and an added dimension to performance data.
Building on the success of its unique Impact 360 business integrations across WFO functions and processes, the software features new screen pop-up alerts, additional alert rules, and notification capabilities that further strengthen the industry's most comprehensive and configurable workflow, alerts and notification solution for intra-day management within WFM and across the company's full WFO suite.
From an enterprise WFM perspective, the solution features advancements to front-office contact center, branch and back-office operations staff scheduling. Back-office enhancements include further analytical capabilities, enabling users to model a broader range of back-office environments and requirements based on rich industry expertise and feedback. Enhancements include "cell or pod"-based scheduling to support smaller teams in back offices that work as a group in a mini manufacturing assembly line fashion; analytics that identify and alert employees and managers about individual work items at risk of missing service level agreements (SLAs); and an extensible key performance indicator (KPI) dimension for more detailed queue-level information, and for managing and analyzing performance in different ways using additional productivity reports. Contact center and general WFM enhancements include an even richer Time Off Manager module with time off pools for greater flexibility in allocating time off, additional rules to control and improve shift swaps, more shift assignment rules and several usability enhancements.
Verint's Voice of the Customer Analytics platform will deliver a new addition to the Impact 360 suite, and together, bring customers a broader unified framework for customer experience management. The offering combines all sources of customer interaction data into one holistic platform for cross-channel analysis and single customer experience and history tracking. Applications included in the platform are Speech Analytics, Text Analytics and Customer Feedback Surveys, as well as the ability to integrate data from web analytics, social media channels and other customer interaction points.
Pricing and Availability
With Verint's fifth-generation Impact 360 solution, customers can deploy a complete unified, analytics-driven WFO solution on a single, consolidated server for up to 250 agent seats—and benefit from attractive pricing that provides the ability to achieve a rapid return on their investment. Customers with existing maintenance agreements receive like-for-like software, including new features and functions that have evolved the solution based on customer ideas and requests, all at no additional license cost.

Posted: 12:00 a.m. Monday, Dec. 31, 2012
By Jackie Borchardt
2013 at the Statehouse
Next year will be a busy year in state government as Gov. John Kasich and legislators work on a budget for 2014-15. Also, in 2013 candidates will start emerging for the 2014 races for governor and other statewide offices. Here's a look at some of the issues state leaders will deal with in 2013:
State budget
Ohio's checkbook is in a much better place now than two years ago in part because of reductions in state spending and staffing. The state finished the 2012 fiscal year with a surplus, adding $235 million to the rainy day fund. Democrats say the next budget should add back some support to education, law enforcement and local government budgets slashed in 2011.
K-12 school funding
Ohio has more than 600 school districts and in the 2012 election, more than 160 districts had tax issues on the ballot. Kasich hasn't offered many specifics yet, but is clear that school funding will be a major challenge for him in 2013. "I want a child, no matter where they live, no matter what the wealth is in their district, to be able to compete effectively with a child in every other district."
Kasich wants to raise taxes on fracking and oil companies and give Ohioans a cut on income taxes. In a rare case of disagreeing with Kasich, the Republican-controlled General Assembly kept his plan from getting through in 2012, but he's likely to try it again. Kasich says Ohio's 5.9% income tax is 'too darn high' and a 'more-friendly business climate' would be created if it was lowered.

Families signing-up for previous volunteer fairs. (KidsMatter, Handout) |
If it weren't for volunteers, most of the helpful nonprofit community organizations would not be able to deliver their services to the needy.
Thanks to KidsMatter, a volunteer fair will help bring together those organizations and hundreds of Naperville children, teenagers and adults who want to help.
The event was scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the lower level of the Naperville Municipal Center, 400 South Eagle St.
"It's a big event," said Bridget Hatch of KidsMatter. "We're hopeful that we'll get 700 or 800 people, like last year."
Twenty-six nonprofits will have representatives at the free event to explain what would be entailed by volunteering at their organization. Teenagers as well as children and families may then sign up to help a group.
Some of the nonprofits include the Salvation Army, Little Friends, DuPage Habitat for Humanity and Bridge Communities.
"It's not easy for kids to find ways to become community contributors," Hatch said. "You don't always know the time commitment, if there's an age requirement or whether there's travel involved. At this event, when the teens and the families are there together, they get a really good opportunity to get a feel for the nonprofit they're talking with and to understand how it would fit with their own schedule and their desired career path."
Hatch said some volunteer opportunities are intended for entire families, as with Feed My Starving Children and DuPage PADS.
"Some have age restrictions, like age 14 for Habitat for Humanity," Hatch said. "But there are others where younger kids in grade school can help package food that would be sent to Haiti and beyond."
The idea for KidsMatter started with a 1998 initiative by Edward Hospital to combat at-risk behavior by developing a program to reward good behavior. The Naperville Youth Development Coalition later evolved to the organization that today has six part-time employees, dozens of volunteers and an annual budget of nearly $300,000.
"Even though we're small, people are amazed at how much we do," said IdaLynn Wenhold, executive director. "Most of the donations and grants come from the City of Naperville, but there also are local organizations like the Rotary and Exchange clubs and other wonderful groups. Our largest corporate benefactor always wishes to be anonymous because they don't want the recognition."
Hatch said the Rotary Club has been a helpful partner that provides a grant to pay for costs involved with the volunteer fair. Aurelio's is donating pizza for the nonprofit exhibitors.
"It's important to do this, and some kids have a necessity to do volunteer hours, whether it's for church or Scouts or service requirements at school," Hatch said. "Also, when kids see that they can make a difference, I really believe it turns them away from making destructive choices. It sounds cliche, but they see that they can use their power for good, to help in the community and be recognized for the contribution."
The other nonprofits involved with the volunteer fair include 360 Youth Services, American Cancer Society, Community Access Naperville, DuPage Children's Museum, Easter Seals, Will County Forest Preserves, Giant Steps, GiGi's Playhouse, Loaves and Fishes, Nickel A Day Films, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Naper Settlement, NaperBridge, Naperville Park District, Naperville Public Library, Ray Graham Association, Teen Parent Connection, Turning Pointe, Western DuPage Special Recreation and the YMCA.
"Serving others is probably the most exciting and worthwhile thing that you can do in your life," Wenhold said. "So come on out, get involved, explore the hundreds of different opportunities that will be available and take advantage of them.
"In so doing, you'll not only make a difference in other people's lives, but most importantly, you're going to make a difference in your own and your children's lives by sharing the value of serving others."

I just bought an Audix I5 and recorded some guitar leads with it today. So far I like it better than the SM57, which I have always used in the past. The I5 seems more natural sounding and less compressed and squashed. Both the SM57 and this sound much better than the Sennheiser E609 in my opinion, and I find the I5 the best of the three so far. This is an awesome mic.

Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
This mic is awesome! When I first recorded with it, I noticed excessive snare rattle heard. After moving the mic 100 times, I settled on top head 2" above 1" in pointed center. In the end, I tuned my snare, adjust a few things and THIS THING SOUNDS GREAT!! I dont even have to make editting adjustments abouve flat... Coupled with a 7pc p-cad kit, my 8 pc sounds better than ever. Affordability, smackability and quality! Buy this thing, its the real deal. Just be prepared... it aint light!
Best Uses
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
This mic, in fewest words, is... Quality, Durable, and Versatile.
My main use for this mic is used on snare drums. It gives a very clear
and solid sound, with a nice crack on the snare.
It's not too fat, not too thin sounding. Comfortably in the middle, which is
nice, and allows you to shape your own preferred sound, depending on your genre.
This mic is BETTER than my SM57 and 58.
When compared, the Shure sounds slightly muddy, and far too common.
The i5 allows your tracks to shine through a bit, which is nice, keeping your snare and guitar tracks clear and audible, in a busy song mix.
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
Best snare mics I have ever purchased, i also use its brother mic the Audix f5 under my snare and blend the two. Make sure your buy high quality cables like Mogami cables. Cables make a huge difference, also another option is to custom make cables which I am in the procces of with my Drum riser. Just buy bulk mic cable off of www.partsexpress.com and high quality male and female XLR's. I have all Audix and never thought about any other brand. I currently use all the fusion mics on my rack toms and their famous kick mics on bass drum and floor toms. What a diffrence Audix really makes. The i5 and f5 really brings out my DW Collectors Series Snare.
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
Ive had this mic for 3 weeks (LOVE IT!) now, wanted to put it to the test on as much as possible before reviewing. all i can say is that it reproduces exactly whats being heard. my snare sounds like my snare. my egnater rebel 30 cab sounds like what it sound like. this shows that the mic will reproduce with fidelity what its placed in front of. That being said i would have to say this beats a shure sm57 because of the fast that it does not modify the sound.
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
I had tried various methods of recording my guitar and had no luck with any. I bought an RP1000 and tried to use the USB direct recording and hated it. I couldn't get a good tone out of the thing unless I was plugged into an amp. I then bought a Toneport UX2 to use podfarm to record and didn't like that either... I just couldn't find anything I was happy with. I then proceeded to buy a single microphone cable to try out my amps direct output and hated the sound! It was way too muddy and dry. I finally bit my lip and ordered a mic. I looked into quite a few and settled on this one. I had never used a microphone to record before and this mic made it easy! I have no more problems with getting good recording tones and I feel relieved that I can plug in my guitar, hit record on reaper and am good to go!
This microphone captures everything I want it to and nothing else thanks to the design. I use it to mic my Spider Valve 212 and it only picks up the amp. When I play I typically have a really loud backing track or music to play along with and needed something that would ignore the excess noise from the background and this mic does just that!
This microphone is built tough! I don't have a lot of room in my guitar area so I am constantly moving everything around and the mic doesn't show any signs of damage or use. I have dropped it a couple times, it has rolled off of my desk and I stepped on it once even... still works brand new!
This microphone does everything I need it to and I don't regret buying it at all. At first I was a little hesitant due to the price tag, but figured I'd get what I paid for. This microphone lives well past my expectations and I look forward to using it for years.
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
This mic sounds amazing on snares and guitar cabs. I picked one up the day before a show and put it on my snare during sound check and I was blown away at how much better it sounded than the 57.
We record our shows from FOH on a Zoom Q3HD recorder and the snare cuts through the mix with minimal EQ and no effects necessary, with ghost notes and cross-sticks coming through cleanly. I later purchased an Audix kitSound goes in one end and out the other. No other features needed.
Solid, built like a tank. I have no fears of damaging this mic with a random stick hit.
For the price it's the best you can spend, period.
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
A lot of presence for a strong nice snare mic without a lot of bleed. I love it on guitar cabs.
This mic is great for a lot of different jobs.
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
I have one of these at home and i honestly it has a very well rounded sound. It seems to capture all the subtle details of whatever sounds its picking up. I have only used for vocals and its a perfect match for my voice. I sound very balanced capturing the highs and lows of my voice nicely. I can't say for sure but i'm pretty sure it would do a better job than an sm57 when it comes to snare. It seems to be bit more low end heavy but if ask me it captures a pretty good amount of highs as well so its a good mic for guitar as well. I think that when it comes to instruments microphones. This is your best be it is the most balanced one and its built like tank. Its quailty that is built to last.
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
I have been using a sennheiser 906 for several years and have never been totally satisfied with my amp sound thru the mains. My rig is a Marshall jvm 410 with mesa recitfier cabs. I picked up the i5 and wow, couldn't believe how much better, more punchy, and less shrill my front of house sound was.
Comments about Audix I-5 Instrument Microphone:
I got this mic to primarily record guitar cabs, but I've found this mic to work phenomenally on snare, bass cabs and viola! It sounds extremely nice, and I'm now looking into getting another for stereo guitar miking, and for top/bottom snare miking. This is definitely a great buy, I'd suggest it to anyone who is looking for a great priced, great sounding mic.
