Bennington woman accused of embezzlementFebruary 12,2013Woman accused of stealing
BENNINGTON A Gage Street teenager pleaded innocent on Monday to a felony charge of embezzlement after police said they believed she tried to take about $37 in clothing from a store on her second day working there.
Kayla Vosburgh, 19, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on the felony charge and a misdemeanor charge of petit larceny. She was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Officer David Dutcher, of the Bennington Police Department, said he went to the Label Shopper in Bennington on Jan. 23 to meet with the store manager, Barbara Barber.
Dutcher said Barber told him Vosburgh was a trainee in her second day at the store on Jan. 22 when Barber saw her coming out of a dressing room. Barber said she then checked Vosburghs bag because the store has a policy to check all employees bags at the end of the day.
According to Barber, she found about $37 in clothing in the bag. She said Vosburgh told her that her mother had bought the clothes for her.
Dutcher said when he spoke to Vosburgh later, she said she had been a frequent shopper at the store before working there and bought the clothes that were allegedly found in her bag but Barber told Dutcher she never saw Vosburgh in the store before she started working there.
Dutcher said he also took a phone call from Vosburghs mother who called about her daughters charges. The mother denied buying the clothes for Vosburgh, Dutcher said.MORE IN This Just In

- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9, call 415-744-1305
7. What is a 100 Year Storm?
- To understand how a 100-year storm event is calculated, you need to first understand the concept of a watershed. A watershed is an area in which water drains to one location or point of accumulation. On land, water that does not evaporate or soak into the soil usually drains into ditches, streams, washes or lakes. The land area from which the water drains is called a watershed. When you were a small child, you may have had a favorite mud puddle in which you liked to play. The part of the yard from which the water drained into the puddle was its watershed.
- For a 100-year storm to occur, all portions of a watershed must receive 3.4 inches of rainfall within 6 hours.
- In central Arizona, there are generally two times each year when heavy rainstorms occur. The summer monsoon seasons are typically stronger and can produce large amounts of rainfall in short periods of time. The summer monsoons are smaller storm systems but could produce 100-year storm events within watersheds of 1 to 10 square miles. The winter storms, on the other hand, are larger in area and longer in duration. If enough rainfall occurred, these winter storms could produce 100-year storm events within larger watersheds.
8. Where can I obtain sandbags for flood proofing?
To obtain sandbags for containing stormwater, call 312-5620 during normal business hours 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. If an emergency situation, call the Police Department after hours number 312-5000.
Sandbags are usually available filled, however, citizens can obtain bags and sand and fill bags themselves.
Go to the Corporation Yard, turn south near the Guard House at 9191 E. San Salvador. Major cross streets are Via Linda and 91st Street.

Mike Newberry
Decent glove but spendy
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Bought these to replace some Fox gloves I've had forever. The gloves are very comfortable/supple/breathable with good 'grip-tion' on the index/middle finger and padding on the palm. One con (other than the cost) is the wrist enclosure...not tight enough around my wrist for my liking but I'll deal.

Rochester Police had a busy halloween night. Officers responded to two different shootings just minutes apart from each other.
The first happened just after 1:30 Friday morning on Chili Avenue near Thurston Road.
Police tell us two men were found on the street with multiple gunshot wounds to their lower bodies. They were taken to Strong Hospital with what police say appears to be non-life threatening injuries.
Police believe the shooting was a result of a fight that started inside the nearby Obsessions bar and then spilled out to the street.
"We are currently trying to find both witnesses and video evidence at the scene to help with the investigation. We do have witnesses who saw the shooting itself and are trying to put it all together to determine what in fact took place," said Captain John Corbelli of the Rochester Police Department.
No arrests have been made in the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Harry Potter Articles
Best of 2011: Neville Got Hot
Wenn, Splash, Getty
The blooming of Neville, or, more accurately, should we say metamorphosis?, was a wonderful distraction from the sadness of The End. Neville got hot!And not just in pictures. In person, Neville was super, super cute. And wore his suit very, very well. I've not seen much from Matthew Lewis since summer. Full Story
Best of 2011: Alan Rickman's letter
As it appeared in EMPIRE: I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time. On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma, and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. Full Story
The End: behind the scenes
Some stories are meant to be saved for a Friday...On 11.11.11 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will be available on DVD. The 4 disc Blu-ray version comes with several extra, extra special features including a 48 minute documentary with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from production. A trailer for the documentary is being passed around online in advance of the release date. Full Story
Ron, Cedric, Draco - Accio 2005!
A reader called Tina just sent me a photo of a little Harry Potter reunion that happened at the Teen Choice Awards last night. I opened the message to find Rupert Grint, Robert Pattinson, and Tom Felton gathered backstage. Cute, right? (Lorella - check the slope.) Anyway, then I started wondering when a picture like this last happened. Full Story
Why is it always Neville?
"Greatest Harry Potter Moments" was trending a while ago Twitter. I'm guessing because ITV aired a Top 50 Harry Potter moments special last night? Thanks @swedishgirlies! Am attaching a short video of Neville describing a few of his experiences. "Why is it always me?" Since there are no new photos of Neville/Matthew Lewis, I thought I'd include some older ones – these are from April 2011 – of Neville with Tonks and Luna and just Luna promoting the DVD release of HP7A in London. Full Story
Neville around the world
Who's getting the biggest career bump from the success of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2? It's STILL surprising to me that it's Neville. That Neville, the new "heartthrob" might be, like, some kind of action star one day. Neville! After trips to Toronto, Washington, and Chicago last week to promote the movie, here's Matthew Lewis in Australia today at the preview for the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. Full Story
Neville has chest hair
Everyone is talking about Neville. Everyone is jizzing over Neville's transformation. Wouldn't be it be CRAZY if in another 10 years, it's Neville, I mean Matthew Lewis, who's, like, on the list of Sexiest Men Alive or something? Never mind. It could totally happen this year. Hilarious. Full Story
Michael Sheen and all his girls
I meant to write about this yesterday but the agency only made these photos available today. At least for blogs. Michael Sheen is in Toronto as his daughter Lily is here with her mother Kate Beckinsale. On Tuesday, Michael and Kate took Lily to the Canadian premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Full Story
Three days with Neville
I interviewed him at the junket in New York on Sunday and I told him I'd be in his face the next three days because on Monday there was the NYC premiere and then on Tuesday he'd be in Toronto to promote the film and etalk had exclusive access at the after party. He was really sweet about it. Full Story
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Please note the following review is SPOILER HEAVY. You've read the reviews by now. It's getting very, very good reviews. And that's great. Those reviews have been written, mostly, by people who weren't into the books, who see movies for a living and judge them on their merit as an art form. Full Story
Together again for the last time
So here they are, on a carpet for Harry Potter for the very last time, in the sweltering heat of a New York City afternoon. Rupert's head was totally wet by the time he went into the theatre. Daniel's too. Emma, stayed remarkably dry. Makes such a difference having bare shoulders out there. Full Story
Don't hide Snape in the back!
Check out these group shots of the members of the Harry Potter family who were in attendance last night at Lincoln Square for the FINAL FINAL FINAL carpet of the film franchise. Alan Rickman's at the back! Don't stick Snape in the back! Come to think of though, he probably wanted to stand in the back. Full Story
Snape & Jo! And ... they all say goodbye
Massive premiere in London today – the final, final, FINAL carpet for the Harry Potter series in the motherland. There will be a premiere in New York on Monday but ... Harry is English, England is the heart of it. And here they almost all are to say goodbye and thank you. No, thank YOU. F-ck me I am crying again. Full Story
I will never be ready
Two weeks ago tomorrow I went to an advance screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and almost had to be carried out of the theatre. Laura, who was sitting next to me, said that at one point, she looked over and saw me in the fetal position. The next day I flew to New York to interview Daniel Radcliffe for the very last time, after five years of seeing him every year, sometimes twice. Full Story

Tiger OS Machine cannot connect to Windows Server?
I have a Mac Mini just upgraded to Tiger 10.4. This MAC machine is running with MS Windows Network. It was okay to connect the MS Windows 2000 Server (File Server). However, I cannot connect to the MS Windows 2000 Server after upgraded to Tiger. I tried to reinstall the Tiger OS, but it's not work too. One of the supplier told me that Tiger cannot connect to MS Windows Server (both 2000 and 2003) which is running Active Directory. Is it ture? If yes, what should I do to connect this Mac to our server?
i think that its the secure authentication thats the problem if memory serves me correct, you need to turn that option off and it should sort your problem. also makin sure that windows sharing is enabled in the firewall settings
i believe that this is the exact post with the info HERE

Exciting new partnership with the American Alpine Club
What started out small, in a basement with 40 or 50 people has steadily grown over the past few years. Last year our attendance was just over 200, our audience ranged from high school students to weathered winter veterans from all around the country. Each year we grow and that growth seems to move toward the right place at the right time. This year we are excited to announce that ESAW will be funding a new grant in partnership with The American Alpine Club and their Live your Dream Grant program. From the beginning ESAW has been about sharing information and educating those of us that get out into the back-country during the winter. This partnership is a giant step in making that education and funding more visible and accessible. We'll be talking more about it on November 7th and 8th and look forward to see where this partnership will lead to next. Here's a bit more details on the grant.
NEW FOR WINTER 2014-2015, thanks to a generous gift there is additional funding for one or more Live your Dream Grant – the Eastern Snow and Avalanche Workshop (ESAW) Award. This additional funding for the next 3 years is for applicants whose dream involves the passion to experience mountain and alpine climbing endeavors, but who require additional competency training in avalanche awareness and recognition. The ESAW Award is designed to support hands-on education or training preceding the applicant's trip. Applicants should include details on the specific instruction or competency needed that includes the school, course or guide details that uses avalanche curriculum established by the American Avalanche Association (AAA), the American Avalanche Institute (AAI), the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE) , or the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA) to help attain their dream climb along with contents of the Live Your Dream application. There will also be annual ESAW attendance seats awards each year for 2015, 2016, and 2017.
Thank you American Alpine Club and thank you to everyone that has attended or will attend ESAW!

A taste of last years workshop
If you're on the fence about registering for the 2013 Eastern Snow and Avalanche Workshop here's an article written for TAR. ESAW 2012 article.
Scholarship available for local students
Principles, Superintendents, Coaches, Directors, Deans, Educators, and Staff,
Two years ago the White Mountain Avalanche Education Fund was established by the White Mountain National Forest's Mount Washington Avalanche Center to educate kids in the Northeast about avalanches. (See the link below for a full description.) In this vein we are giving 15 scholarships to High School aged kids to this year's Eastern Snow and Avalanche Workshop (ESAW) on November 10th. We are focusing the awards towards students in the general White Mountain Region. In particular, students of yours who have aspirations to take their sport into avalanche terrain in the upcoming years. It is proven that getting to kids young, prevents avalanche accidents in the future.
The Eastern Snow and Avalanche Workshop was started not to be an avalanche class, but a higher level one day symposium that encompasses new science, useful practical skills for the field, and interesting presentations about avalanche problems around eastern North America. High school students will not be bored, but a motivated individual eager to learn is the best candidate. Based on response from the different schools we would like to spread out the opportunities across the region. We may also be able to offer more scholarships depending on the normal registration numbers.
Please let me know if your school is interested in participating and how many scholarships you have interest in, up to 5 slots. You know your students, their history, their motivations and desires best so we are leaving the selections for scholarship slots to your school and staff. Once you let me know how many slots you are interested in (1-5) I will respond with how many are available for you. To help perk their interests we will have some gear give-aways through the day and a number of commercial vendor booths in the evening. See the general ESAW announcement below, our website www.esaw.org and the avalanche fund specifics at http://www.mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org/about/white-mountain-avalanche-education-fund/
I look forward to meeting your kids!
Christopher P. Joosen
Forest Safety Manager
Lead Snow Ranger/Director-Mount Washington Avalanche Center
White Mountain National Forest
603-466-2713 ext. 215
Location Finalized!
The final paperwork is complete. Grab your book bags and pencil boxed, this years 2012 ESAW event will be held at the John Fuller Elementary School. Plenty of parking, just around the corner from IME, and last years venue, the Mount Washington Observatory and Science Center. Directions are updated here. Spread the word, we've got more room this year, but space is filling up fast.
Thank you sponsors!
As we get closer and closer to November 10th, more and more folks are registering and more sponsors are coming forward to get behind us. We just added a page for our sponsors . There is going to be a silent auction at the end of the event and the list of gear being donated by these guys is impressive. Once the learning is over, we will be moving over to International Mountain Equipment. Like last year you'll be able to enjoy a cold beverage and get to see, close up, some of the new gear out there from BD, Viole, Ortovox and the rest of our sponsors. More to come about the silent auction and the goodies to be had.
Lining up speakers each day!
We just added Dr. Karl Birkeland to the list of presenters. It's shaping up to be a good one this year! If for some strange reason you're not familiar with Dr. Birkeland and his work you can read a bit about him here. http://www.montana.edu/wwwes/facstaff/birkeland.htm Dr.Karl Birkeland is the Director of the Forest Service National Avalanche Center, currently based in Montana, and has over 30 years of experience as a ski patroller, backcountry avalanche forecaster, avalanche researcher, and avalanche educator.

For most people travel is about getting to their destination. That's when the fun begins.
Yes there are road trips, and they are wonderful. Yes there is train travel, and it is romantic and historical. And, of course, there are cruises, and there is something therapeutic about vast, open expanses of water.
But for hundreds of millions of people every year the transportation of choice — and often the only practical mode of transportation — is an airliner. The jet age has brought us transcontinental travel in a single day. It has also compiled an astounding safety record. Still, the airline industry is not without its frustrations for travelers. That is a situation not lost on the U.S. Travel Association, (nor on The Rose Hotel, which is why we try to make the check-in experience at our front desk as pleasing and relaxing as possible).
The Travel Association did some airline research and found some very positive trends as well as some concerns. To the good, the number of people traveling by air increased for the fifth consecutive year, and airlines posted record profits of $12.7 billion during 2013. To the bad, 89 percent of air travelers surveyed say the air travel process had become more of a hassle, and fees charged by most airlines for checked baggage is irksome. The overall cost of flying, driven higher in part by stubbornly high fuel prices, was also a source of irritation, as was flight delays and cancellations — though, in fairness to the airlines, that was often the result of inclement or even violent weather, which even Southwest Airlines has not yet figured out how to control.
Here's the good news: Travelers said they would fly more often if the air travel system was improved and made more efficient, which the airlines are acutely aware of and are taking measures to remedy. Like any business, air carriers are always looking to improve their brand image and boost profits. For its part, the U.S. Travel Association is proposing a comprehensive aviation agenda that includes policies aimed at modernizing airports and alleviating travel hassles. That would increase travel demand and benefit all industry stakeholders, the organization says. Specifically, it is proposing:
Consider that aviation hassles caused Americans to avoid more than 38 million air trips during a 12-month period (from February 2013 through February 2014), according to the U.S. Travel Association. This cost the U.S. economy $27.2 billion in travel spending, including the loss of $9.5 billion in airfares, $5.8 billion in hotels, $3.4 billion in restaurant and food services, $2.8 billion in other transportation such as taxis, car rentals, and $5.7 billion spending on other travel goods and services such as amusement and recreation activities.
So there is much to be gained by improving air travel performance and passenger experience. In the final analysis, people who are traveling by air want to get to their destinations fast. For that reason, we can expect air travel to continue gaining altitude, though it will do so more quickly with some aggressive action by the
Federal Aviation Administration and the airlines it regulates.

Mozipedia: The Encyclopedia of Morrissey and the Smiths
Ebury, 2009 - Rock musicians - 532 pages
Steven Patrick Morrissey is one of the most original and controversial voices in the history of popular music. With The Smiths, he led the most influential British guitar group of the 1980s, his enigmatic wit and style defining a generation. As a solo artist, he has continued to broach subjects no other singer would dare.
Worshipped by some, vilified by others, Morrissey is a unique rock and roll creation. The 300,000 words ofMozipediamake this the most intimate and in-depth biographical portrait of the man and his music yet. Bringing together every song, album, collaborator, key location, every hero, book, film and record to have influenced his art, it is the summation of years of meticulous research. Morrissey authority Simon Goddard has interviewed almost everybody of any importance, makingMozipediathe last word on Morrissey and The Smiths.

I made this from a gourd and all sorts of things. If you look at it, it sort of looks like the Salt Sucker from Star Trek. hahaha.

That's the only one I have right now. Kind of a cluttered pic, with an improper glass. Oh well...
As to the details of what I'm doing, most of the Sharpie/ceramic projects I've seen use them for writing, but that is not my plan. What I will do is buy four plain white ceramic mugs, create four different mustache stencils, and stencil mustaches at the rim of each cup so that when she is drinking from them, it will look like she has a 'stache. I'm thinking trucker 'stache, waxed handlebar with curled ends, classic chevron (Magnum PI), and ... I don't know. Not a pornstache. Maybe a Fu Manchu with a soul patch? I'm taking suggestions.
That's very cool, for real! One of these days I'm going to make my own root beer from scratch. It's on my list.
No porn stache? What's she supposed to drink from when the pizza delivery guy shows up?
There is a pretty cool site called Pinstrosity where they try out the pins and see if they work out.
I made a ball-jointed Weeping Angel. I sculpted the body parts from paper clay. I used paints and stone spray, I made the dress and painted and sprayed it.
Options for you:
Todash, I love those sugar bowl tags you made. Those are very pretty.
Movember? The month previously known as November. Men grow a Mo (moustache) to raise awareness and money for men's health issues (specifically prostate cancer and mental health issues). A lot of girls are getting in on the action too, adding a Mo to their profile pictures on Facebook, and even wearing stick-on Mo's.I meant explain the mustache thing!!! Oops. But I appreciate you typing all that.

I brought him back to my house after his shift. His rules were simple; I was allowed to jerk his cock but could not do anything else to him. I happily accepted the ground rules as I had wanted to see more of Kiko for over a year and now was my chance. He jumped into the bed with his clothes still on. I imagine that Kiko wanted to pretend I was a girl because he didn't open his eyes. I did not think anything more of it and started lifting his shirt. In the summer he works without his shirt on, but this was the first time I was able to touch him.

NORTHBRIDGE, Mass. – Volunteers, prizes, raffle donations and hole sponsors are needed for a best ball tournament planned to benefit the Michael J. Paulhus Memorial Scholarship Fund.
It's been 15 years since the death of Michael Paulhus. "Mike was an outstanding athlete at Northbridge High School, graduating in 1980. He excelled in football and baseball .He attended Westfield State University where he continued to play football. He had great carpentry skills that he put to use as a general contractor," said Marnie Newton Havalotti, one of the organizers.
For several years following his death, the scholarship was paid for with an ice fishing event and dinner at the Manchaug Legion Hall, but fundraising ended about seven years ago.
His mother wanted to recognize the 15th anniversary of his death so a committee was formed.
The scholarship committee consists of Michael's friends and classmates, Paul Hathaway, John Susienka, Havalotti and Dave Hetu.
A scholarship is awarded to deserving students from Northbridge High School and neighboring schools. The scholarship is awarded based on financial need, essays and input from each school's guidance office, along with his family and friends.
The tournament will be May 18 at Blackstone National Golf Course, 227 Putnam Hill Road, Sutton. The $130 player fee includes golf, cart, prizes, cookout and entertainment. The cost for dinner only is $25. Hole sponsorship is $100.
To register, send checks to Marnie Newton Havalotti, 173 Martin Road, Douglas, MA 01516. For more information, call 774-280-0462 or email email@example.com

A method or apparatus for managing monitoring of packet data traffic of a packet switched telephony trunk connection, such as an IP trunk, wherein the data packets identify ports but monitoring is based on extension lines and the like. A mapping unit is used for obtaining mapping data that relates ports to respective individual connections or extension lines. A packet duplication unit copies data traffic from the trunk, and an associative access unit either stores or allows direct use of the data via the mapping information.
1. A method for voice recording and monitoring telephony calls carried on an Internet Protocol (IP) trunk coupled to a private automatic branch exchange (PABX) device, the method comprising:
obtaining, externally to the PABX device from a computer telephony integration (CTI) link, mapping data of the IP trunk, said mapping data associating PABX ports to connections, wherein each PABX port is associated with a respective extension line of the PABX device and each connection is associated with a respective pair of IP data ports, a first IP data port at a first end of the IP trunk connected to the PABX device and a second IP data port at a second end of the IP trunk, wherein each connection carries voice data of at least one of the telephony calls;
receiving from the CTI link a real-time indication that a selected connection to be recorded has been set up, including an identification of the first IP data port associated with the connection;
duplicating based on the real-time indication, externally to the PABX device, packets of voice data of at least a portion of a telephone call carried by the selected connection, wherein each of the packets includes a header that identifies the first IP data port associated with the connection;
associating, externally to the PABX device using the mapping data, between the packets of voice data associating to the connection and an extension line participating in the telephone call; and
providing at least a portion of the packets associated with the CTI indication to a voice recording device located externally to the PABX device.

This present application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/661,908, filed on Mar. 16, 2005, the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the recording of data as a third party to a data transfer wherein the data is transferred using the IP protocol and, more particularly, but not exclusively to such recording wherein numerous such transfers are carried out within the framework of an IP-based trunk connection.
Data transfers of all kinds are carried out over telephone networks, from straightforward speech data to complex and high speed transfers of data that may be compressed or encrypted.
Organizations often wish to monitor the data that is being transferred in and out of their networks, for numerous reasons. A financial securities company that receives buy and sell instructions over the telephone may wish to monitor orders in case of dispute. A customer service unit may want to monitor the performance of its telephone operators. An organization carrying confidential information may wish to be made aware when apparently confidential information is being routed outside the organization.
In the earliest telephone call monitoring systems, the calls are not actually recorded. Instead, data are typically collected on each incoming call to the system. This data consists of a log of events occurring in the system over time for an incoming call. Typical logged data elements are receipt of call, call offered to an application, call presented to an agent or an agent group, call handled or abandoned and length of call. The data representing these data elements are then processed to generate reports for use by management or supervisory personnel. The data may be organized in any number of ways, such as by agent, telephone trunk, agent groups and the like. Based on this information, management and supervisory personnel are able to evaluate an agent's telephone call activity and take corrective action where an agent's performance falls below acceptable norms.
Unfortunately, such prior art telephone call monitoring systems firstly do not actually record the calls, and secondly, are limited in their ability to discriminate between different telephone calls and agents based on criteria other than simple scheduling imperatives. At the end of the day, they rely almost entirely on human intervention to evaluate the quality of service provided by an agent.
There were thus developed prior art telephone call monitoring systems that provide for telephone call recording. However these systems typically record either all telephone calls received by an agent or record telephone calls according to a schedule.
In order to record traffic of telephone exchanges in a more efficient manner, monitoring systems were developed that use the properties of time division multiple access (TDMA), a system often used on trunk routes. Typically, an office or like organization uses a private automatic branch exchange (PABX) to connect its own numerous extension lines to each other and to the outside world. The connection to the outside world is typically a trunk connection that uses some form of multiplexing of individual connections, typically TDMA. The PABX may additionally have dedicated trunk routes or tie lines to other PABX's of the same or related organizations.
The monitoring systems make use of the time slots in TDMA. TDMA makes use of multiplexing arrangements such as T1 or E1 which define the number of slots available on the trunk. Thus E1 may define 30 time slots for example. In what is known as static allocation, a given time slot in TDMA may represent a given extension line. Thus extension 304 may always use time slot 16. The monitoring system knows this and is able to look for extension 304 as required.
In an alternative system, known as dynamic allocation, a particular extension is allocated the next available time slot as required. In this case there is provided an allocation matrix which allows the monitoring system to look up the extension required and find the necessary time slot.
TDMA was generally considered the most cost effective way of trunking prior to use of the Internet protocol. As described above, it is possible to tap into the time slots. Then from the time slots themselves it is possible to receive all the data of the call. It is also possible to record an entire trunk or a selection from a group of trunks, and in all cases it is possible to search the recording and find the connection or conversation of interest, because the association between connection and time slot is always available.
Recording of an individual connection entails identifying the time slot, obtaining the signal and demodulating. The demodulated signal can then be recorded.
As a further development, matrices for mapping conversations and trunks have been used in TDMA. The PABX as sold to a client is often not fully populated. That is to say the PABX might use a standard E1 trunk which takes 30 channels, but the customer only wants and pays for 16, so the remaining channels are unused. It is therefore possible to use a matrix to map different connections from different trunks so that a single recording channel is able to select from conversations from different trunks. The system sniffs for the relevant data.
Recently, the TDMA system has been superseded by trunking based on IP, the so-called IP trunk. IP or Internet Protocol uses data packets rather than time slots or any other form of multiplexing. What happens is that the data is digitized and placed in packets. Voice data is simply processed into the voice over IP protocol (VoIP). The packets are then provided with headers. The headers generally indicate a sequence position of the individual packet, the protocols being used, and source and destination ports of the packet.
IP trunks are regarded as more effective in terms of bandwidth efficiency and thus new PABXs are provided as IP trunks, and telephone providers (Telcos) are encouraging their subscribers to upgrade legacy systems to IP. Aside from bandwidth efficiency, the IP trunk is regarded as more effective for voice transmission since it uses the digital Voice over IP protocol. Likewise it is regarded as effective in supporting signaling of all kinds. Signaling protocols supported include Session initiation protocol (SIP) and its variation QSIP, often implemented in proprietary fashion between exchanges belonging to the same vendor.
A consequence of changing to IP trunks is however that time slots are no longer available and therefore the existing methods of monitoring that include identification of the individual connections are now rendered obsolete. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that some of the features relied upon to date to determine mapping between connections and time slots, the PABX reporting features, are not being updated by the Telcos along with the PABX itself, and so the reporting features are still based on time slots. Whilst this is insignificant in terms of most reporting needs, as the usage of the individual extensions is still correctly reported, it is problematic if using the reporting features for call monitoring, as there is no way to relate individual extensions to the ports appearing in the packet headers.
There is thus a widely recognized need for, and it would be highly advantageous to have, a third party monitoring and recording system devoid of the above limitations that is able to be effective in the IP trunk environment.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for monitoring telephony calls on a packet switched trunk connection using packet data traffic, said trunk connecting PABX units, each trunk unit comprising a plurality of individual connections associated with individual PABX ports, said connections being grouped together using packet switching, each connection being between a data port at a first end of the trunk and another data port paired thereto at a second end of the trunk, each packet comprising a header identifying data ports of the respective connection, the method comprising:
obtaining mapping data of the connecting trunk, said mapping data relating PABX ports to individual connections; and
obtaining traffic data of at least one individual connection from said trunk and providing traffic data to a monitoring system
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a mapping unit for monitoring telephony calls on a packet switched trunk connection using packet data traffic, said packet-switched trunk connecting PABX units, each trunk unit comprising a plurality of individual connections associated with individual PABX ports, said connections being grouped together using packet switching, each connection being between a data port at a first end of the trunk and another data port paired thereto at a second end of the trunk, each packet comprising a header identifying data ports of the respective connection, the method comprising:
a mapping unit for obtaining mapping data of the connecting trunk, said mapping data relating PABX ports to individual connections; and
a connection monitoring unit for obtaining traffic data of at least one individual connection from said trunk and providing traffic data to a monitoring system.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The materials, methods, and examples provided herein are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.

With specific reference now to the drawings in detail, it is stressed that the particulars shown are by way of example and for purposes of illustrative discussion of the preferred embodiments of the present invention only, and are presented in order to provide what is believed to be the most useful and readily understood description of the principles and conceptual aspects of the invention. In this regard, no attempt is made to show structural details of the invention in more detail than is necessary for a fundamental understanding of the invention, the description taken with the drawings making apparent to those skilled in the art how the several forms of the invention may be embodied in practice.
In the drawings:
The present embodiments comprise an apparatus, system or method that associates between the header data in packets on a telephony trunk and the physical sources and terminations of the connections, that is to say extension numbers and physical lines. The association may then be used to navigate through the trunk data to enable effective monitoring of the trunk.
The principles and operation of an associating system according to the present invention may be better understood with reference to the drawings and accompanying description.
Before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments or of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
Reference is now made to
PABX 10 is generally located at a user's premises, say an office, and supports a number of extension lines 12, at the premises. Outwardly from the PABX are a series of input/output ports 14, each having a logical address and each able to support a single connection over trunk 16. Trunk 16 connects the PABX 10 to an external switch 18 that typically belongs to the Telco and has input/output ports 20 that are also able to support single connections over the trunk. The trunk itself is simply a multiple capacity telephone connection, able to support large numbers of individual connections. In the case of E1 switching, the trunk can support thirty separate lines at a time, or multiples thereof.
The skilled person will be aware that a data packet, such as packet 22 illustrated, is a unit of data that is sent independently over a connection or series of connections. Data packet 22 comprises a header section 24 that includes addressing information, protocol information and like data, and also a body or content section 26 that includes the information being communicated. In the case of a voice telephone conversation the data in the body is voice data, and is managed according to the dictates of the voice over IP (VoIP) protocol.
In use a connection is initiated either from within or from without the organization, but nevertheless involves one of the lines within the organization. A handshake procedure between PABX 10 and external switch 18 allows one port at the extension 18 and one port at the PABX to be designated for the call. Subsequently, data packets that belong to the connection are addressed to these data ports and thus contain the data ports in their headers. The PABX comprises internal logic that ensures that all data from packets arriving from the trunk at the designated port is directed to the corresponding extension line in the appropriate format. Typically voice data passes over the extension line as an analog signal and so the PABX is required to carry out conversion between digital and analog signals and packetization. Data intended for a computer passes over the extension line in packet form and so the task of the PABX is to add the appropriate port addresses to the headers of outgoing packets and then send them to the trunk. Incoming packets are simply sent to the extension line currently associated with the incoming port.
As explained in the background it is desired to monitor traffic on trunk 16 in accordance with the individual connections. However, the extension line information is not generally available on the trunk and therefore it is not possible to be specific about what is being monitored, or to store the monitored information in such a way as to enable useful retrieval.
Reference is now made to
As will be explained below, there are several possible sources for the mapping data, each having its specific advantages. One source is signaling information that is present on the trunk at the handshake stage when ports are assigned to the connection. Another source is the usage database that is invariably provided with the PABX to show line usage information to the user. As will be explained, in the default case usage data is only available after the call is completed, and furthermore the currently available usage databases map the extension lines onto the multiplexing channels of the pre-IP systems and do not include port information. The mapping unit thus requires additional logic to map between multiplexing channels and data ports.
Device 30 further comprises a packet duplication unit 34 which copies the data traffic of the trunk. As will be explained below, the unit may tap the trunk directly, or it may tap the PABX connection to the trunk. Again, in some embodiments it may copy all of the packets, allowing mapping to be carried out later. Alternatively, in a discriminative copying embodiment, it may obtain mapping information from the mapping unit and copy only those packets containing the data ports of connections it is desired to monitor.
Device 30 further comprises an associative access unit 36 which allows for access of the data monitored from the trunk according to the extension line, or any other way of defining the connection at the organization. The access unit is typically a storage device which allows the user to select an extension number and obtain the relevant traffic. Additionally or alternatively, associative access unit 36 may give real time access to passing data. Either way, monitoring is with reference to the connection itself.
As shown in
One of the ways in which the apparatus of
Reference is now made to
Now there are two ways of allocating data ports, static and dynamic. In the static case, the same data port at the PABX is always used for the same extension line. In such a case a fixed extension line—data port lookup table is used. The other way is dynamic.
In the dynamic case, the data port information is preferably obtained in one of two ways. Reference is now made to
In a second embodiment, which will be described in greater detail hereinbelow with respect to
Having determined the extension numbers it is then possible to use the CDR to obtain further information, for example about the remote party, that is to say the party calling in to the organization from outside. The CDR is able to store information in association with individual telephone numbers. It is possible to use the CDR to identify particular numbers of interest and monitor the calls based on the remote party. Thus for example a particular organization may have high level, say gold, customers, and it may wish to record all conversations with gold customers to ensure that they are receiving an adequate level of service.

Once the call has been set up, data exchange occurs over the trunk. The monitoring system needs to map between ports and the connection details. As discussed above it may obtain this from static mapping, a particular extension always uses a given port, and therefore a static allocation table may be used. Alternatively the allocation may be dynamic, in which case the information may be obtained by decoding the signaling, or by programming the PABX to send the information to the recording device, or the entire trunk may be copied. If the entire trunk is copied using a dedicated monitoring trunk, the port-extension information may be included in the packet headers in the copy, since the dedicated trunk is entirely internal.
The monitoring system may also need to know which ports to copy. The extension numbers that need copying can be defined by programming and additionally use information available to the CDR or CTI databases. As mentioned, unless these databases are specially modified they do not include port information, so they must be combined with mapping.
The monitoring system may then make the monitored information available to the requesting user by extension number or by any other way as appropriate, so that targeted monitoring is possible.
It is expected that during the life of this patent many relevant trunking systems and recording devices and systems will be developed and the scope of the corresponding terms herein, is intended to include all such new technologies a priori.
It is appreciated that certain features of the invention, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention, which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, may also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.
Although the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims. All publications, patents and patent applications mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference into the specification, to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated herein by reference. In addition, citation or identification of any reference in this application shall not be construed as an admission that such reference is available as prior art to the present invention.
