What do you do when one of your best selling products, your cash cow, your go-to, has decreasing sales revenue and can no longer be counted on to save the sales figures? Worse, what if most of the ones being sold are quickly returned? The call center has the answers, and they lie within the call logging and coding data, and the metrics from social customer service. Companies can mine their 'big data' by using text analytics and uncover the root issue of this terrible trend.
The company Twitter feed and Facebook page supports the discovery that customers perceive the product to not be as fast as the competition, and lacks some additional functions they know are possible now. When the CRM records are analyzed the hypothesis is confirmed, as each return highlights the product speed as the main reason for the return.
While the problem may not be a quick fix, the answer was found significantly faster through text analytics than waiting until the Annual Report or The Street, reports the loss of earnings. The business intelligence through text analytics can lead to the creation of a new process for the product development group, a new product roll out, and before you know it that cash cow product is back on top in the market place.
We've talked recently about the power of mining big data properly and how that can elevate customer experience. While exploring the new buzz techniques, don't get distracted. Remember the basics like text analytics to add the 'why?' behind the numbers. By simply analyzing the text feedback, text analytics uncovers not only hidden issues and customer desires, but identifies that path on the road map to your future products and services.
These below customer comments led us to ultimately recommend a product upgrade to our client:
"I run my own business and need a product that can keep up with me. I found this product too complicated to install and once it was installed it never worked as it was supposed to. It kept jamming and honestly I spent more time troubleshooting the issues that actually using it."
"I bought your product because the price was right but what I found is that I lacked some features that I really needed. Company xyz makes a product like yours that has the features I need."
"If I had read the reviews of this product online I would have seen that other people found it to be very slow just like I did. I would have never bought it in the first place."
"While your product quality is very good and your brand is recognized as a leader, I returned this in the end because it was just too slow for my business needs. Otherwise it was great!"

When the Los Angels Angels opened the MLB season in 2010, hopes were high in Anaheim. Even though they had lost John Lackey, Vladimir Guerrero and Chone Figgins to free agency, the Angels management team honestly thought they had done enough to put a quality product on the field, and expected once again to contend for the American League West title.
The addition of RHP Joel Pineiro, to replace Lackey in the starting rotation, coupled with a full season with LHP Scott Kazmir, gave the Angels a strong feeling that their deep, experienced staff would be one of the better rotations in the American League.
The addition of DH/LF Hideki Matsui, the emergence of young SS/3B Brandon Wood, and the continued development/maturation of 1B Kendry Morales also gave the Angels a high level of expectation regarding their position players.
Finally, their bench and bullpen were also considered strengths, giving them the depth needed to push through a long 162 game schedule.
So, what happened? The wheels simply fell off the wagon. Kazmir lost his velocity and his location, Morales celebrated a walk-off homer all the way to the DL and beyond, and the bullpen stopped leaks about as effectively as a band-aid on a sliced carotid artery.
As the Angels played themselves out of contention in the AL West, management was left to ponder, and to look ahead to next season in early September, something they have not been used to doing.
Here is a breakdown of the Angels' roster: How they contributed to the demise of the 2010 season, what to look forward to next year, and we'll include a possible list of candidates available for the Angels in 2011.

Judge: There's 'shame' in Michigan's judge's game
DETROIT (AP) – A married judge who once bragged there was "no shame" in his "game" about a shirtless photo he sent to a married court deputy lied about his handling of a child support case, according to a report submitted to the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission.
The commission will use the report to recommend to the state Supreme Court possible sanctions for suspended Wayne County Circuit Judge Wade McCree.
Retired Jackson County Judge Charles Nelson submitted his Master's Report Sunday to the commission. Nelson presided last month over a hearing in which the commission accused McCree of misconduct and making a false felony report.
McCree met Geniene LaShay Mott when a child support case involving Robert King, her daughter's father, came before his court in March 2012. McCree and Mott eventually started an affair that included the two of them having sex in the judge's chambers.
The judge failed to immediately recuse himself from the case and ordered King to wear an electronic tether until the child support was paid.
The Supreme Court suspended McCree without pay in February.
McCree testified at last month's hearing that failing to move the child support case from his courtroom was an oversight. McCree's doctor also testified that he diagnosed the judge last year with a mental condition called "hypomania," which causes him to make abnormal, overly confident public statements.
Nelson wrote that McCree's testimony was not credible and that McCree lied to the tenure commission which investigated his actions.
"He had a hot young lady who was in his words `eye candy' and a way to keep her interested was to keep her case and be of assistance in the collection of money," Nelson wrote. " … it should have DAWNED on him that he should not even by hearing the matter."
As his relationship with Mott soured and she demanded that McCree divorce his wife, McCree told a prosecutor that he was being stalked.
Mott also testified last month that she was pregnant but declined to say whether McCree is the father.
"Whether Mott is pregnant or not and who is the baby's father are not of concern," Nelson wrote, "we leave that for the Jerry Springer show. But the events … show a pattern of lies and deception by McCree in his dealings with Mott."
McCree's attorney, Brian Einhorn, told The Associated Press Monday that he was disappointed by portions of Nelson's report.
"He felt Wade McCree not recusing himself was a bad act and a bad move _ a statement we agreed with," Einhorn said.
But Nelson questioned McCree's credibility with his claims that Mott was stalking him, Einhorn added.
"Which was disappointing because Judge McCree was being candid," he said.
McCree is a member of a prominent Detroit family. His late father, Wade McCree Jr., was a federal judge who also argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court as solicitor general under President Jimmy Carter.
In a different ethics case, the Michigan Supreme Court reprimanded McCree last year after he sent a shirtless photo of himself to a female court employee.
At the time, McCree told TV station WJBK: "No shame to my game."
Nelson disagreed.
"In final summary there is shame in the McCree game: shame to the good name of McCree and shame brought upon the judiciary of the state of Michigan," he wrote.
Einhorn suspects the tenure commission will seek McCree's removal from the bench as a sanction.
"I don't think that's appropriate," he said.

By Chuck Johnson, USA TODAY
The ties that bind a father and son can sometimes unravel between the ropes.
Roy Jones Jr., Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. each have been regarded at different times as boxing's No. 1 pound-for-pound champion. But there's another common denominator. All learned to box from their fathers and yet, for whatever reason, made the call to fire them as trainers.
Jones, who returns to the ring after a 10-month absence Saturday in Boise against Prince Badi Ajamu, didn't pull any punches at a recent breakfast interview with boxing writers. Asked about his loss in October to Antonio Tarver, Jones laid the blame on the return of his former trainer, Roy Jones Sr.
A former middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight world champion, Jones, 37, says he fought a losing battle not because of what Tarver did to gain a unanimous decision, but because he was distracted by the chaos in his corner caused by his father trying to take control from co-trainer Alton Merkerson.
"At the time I didn't see it like that. But if I win the fight, everybody would have given the glory to Roy Jones Sr.," he says. "That's all anybody would have talked about. No glory would have gone to God or myself or the guy (Merkerson) that got me there. Would that have been right?"
Jones says the agreement was for his father to have his say between rounds and then for Merkerson to offer his advice.
"If he sticks to the plan, it works for everybody, but my father didn't stick to the plan," Jones says. "He had his assistant up in the ring trying to push Merk out the way, and I'm seeing all this and still trying to do what I have to do.
"Don't get me wrong, having him was good but it was more bad than good. He's the smartest dude I know as far as boxing skills. Nobody can teach me what he taught me, but it's the other things that come along with it, like the situation with Merk."
Jones (49-4-0, 38 knockouts) will be trying to break a three-fight losing streak — two by knockout — Saturday at Boise's Qwest Arena, where he will challenge Ajamu (25-2-1, 14 KOs) in a 12-round light heavyweight bout (PPV, $24.95, 9 p.m. ET).
A loss to the Camden, N.J., fighter Ajamu would almost certainly end Jones' career, which some feel should have ended in 2004 after back-to-back KOs by Tarver and Glen Johnson.
"I've really got nothing to prove, just to myself," Jones says. "I want to prove I can come back and be the world light heavyweight champion again."
Jones says "everything is back to normal" with Merkerson in his corner and his father out of the picture again.
That differs from Mosley, who attributed his sixth-round TKO victory against Fernando Vargas earlier this month to being reunited with his father. Jack Mosley is back as his son's trainer, apparently for good. Both say their two-year professional split never diminished their bond, although Jack Mosley, who trained Shane since he was 8, can see how a close kinship can be torn apart.
"A lot of times, fathers do not allow their sons to grow," he says. "They want to live their lives through their sons. Then you have people in the fighter's ear and the father's ear trying to manage and manipulate. People are envious and jealous. They want the money."
The Mosleys' happy reunion stands in stark contrast to the Mayweathers. Floyd Sr. and Floyd Jr. seem irreparably separated and could be on a collision course to a bout from opposing corners.
As the trainer for Oscar De La Hoya, the elder Mayweather initially was flatly opposed to a fight between his unbeaten son and the Golden Boy. While De La Hoya has not decided whether he wants that fight, which could generate record profits, Floyd Sr. says his son has disrespected him to the point that he now welcomes the chance to help De La Hoya beat him.
"I'll beat Oscar to the corner if that fight happens," Floyd Sr. says. "I'm just fed up with all the bull. I've been a good father to my son, and I spent a lot of time with my son. If I hadn't, he wouldn't be able to fight the way he knows how to fight. But my son is a little monster. Since he's got money, he's changed. I did all the work, and everybody else is reaping the benefits."
Floyd Jr. (36-0) doesn't address the feud with his father but has said in the past that nothing he did ever seemed good enough to please his dad. Having won world titles in four weight classes, he says his camp has never run more smoothly than during the seven years he's been trained by his uncle, Roger Mayweather, Floyd Sr.'s brother.
"Me and Roger have got the best chemistry," Floyd Jr. says. "We don't argue. We've never had a disagreement. That's the best thing about Team Mayweather. All we do is come here and give 100%."
Jack Mosley says no amount of money could make him train someone to fight Shane. Mayweather Sr. obviously feels differently about facing off against his son, saying the last straw was when Floyd Jr. didn't acknowledge his presence during a recent visit to his mother's house in Michigan. "That SOB found out I was there and went back and got in his truck," he says.
As for Jones, Mayweather Sr. thinks he's also off base for blaming his dad for the loss to Tarver.
"He became champ and won all those belts because of his daddy, so he shouldn't start blaming his father when he loses," Mayweather Sr. says. "I think sometimes the bloodlines are too strong that a father and son can't get along. But sometimes these guys — like my son — get money and get big-headed. That's got a lot to do with it."
Jones says he believes Mayweather would win hands-down if a Mayweather-De La Hoya fight ever comes about.
"Take it from somebody who knows. Any fighter my dad would have brought to me, he would have gotten him killed," Jones says. "I would have died first before I lost to him, and the same with Floyd. Oscar will never beat Floyd Mayweather in 100 years. If Floyd has to run 100 miles to beat Oscar, that's what he'll do, just because his daddy is over there. It's got nothing to do with Oscar. He's a wonderful fighter, but he ain't got a chance."
Saturday's fight won't be a test of whether Jones can win without his dad in his corner, but a gauge of whether the fighter himself still belongs in the ring.

Horse Quotes and Sayings
Every girl should find that one horse that teaches her what love is. Teaches her what a relationship really is, teaches her trust, how to love unconditionally, and most importantly, to teach her to cherish every moment spent with that horse because there is going to come a time when her best friend is gone. And her heart will be broken. That is what love is.
People say there is no heaven on earth, they've clearly never been on a horse.
Show me your horse and I'll tell you who you are.
As much as we may believe that man is free, and that we have dominated all species, our spirits could never be as free as that of a horse.
Courage, strength and loyalty is taught from the heart of a horse.
Raw fingers, sore joints, head up, heels down. It's not just a sport, it's a way of living.
When I walk into the barn in the morning I hear my horse whining and that puts a smile on my face every time. <3
If horse riding was easy, we would call it football! :)
If you have never felt real pain, try squatting with your spurs on, you'll have a sudden wake up call.
If you don't love your horse at his worse, then you don't deserve him at his best.
Feeling down? Saddle up!
Just give me a horse… And I'll figure the rest out sooner or later.
If you've never ridden a horse then you've never felt freedom.
When asked if I can imagine my life without horses, promptly I reply: "Well for me, that would not be a life at all."
– Tshepo Moime
My guardian angel has hooves. <3
In the saddle you feel good. Over a fence you feel free.

Ricky Hatton's comeback has created massive interest in the United Kingdom, selling 18,000 tickets without an opponent named. (Photo by Paul Thomas/Getty Images)
Ricky Hatton has reportedly sold 18,000 tickets for his November 24 comeback in Manchester, for a fight that has 19,000 tickets available. All of this without an opponent named sort of frames just how big of an event Ricky Hatton returning to the ring is in his home country -- even though many don't think it's the right idea.
Hatton, 33, says he's humbled by the and the response to the fight:
"It's incredible how quickly the tickets have been selling and I want to say a huge thanks to everyone who has supported my return to the ring, whether that's by buying tickets or by the lovely messages of support I've received. For so many people, to come out and support me like this, especially in these hard financial times, is absolutely amazing and I'm truly humbled. We all need someone to believe in and hopefully I can be that person."

Google Chrome in 64-bit Linux Version
Linux users can now get a 64-bit version of Google Chrome.
Even though the Google browser is not yet in an official, stable Linux version, the free operating system has moved ahead with 64-bit development. Chrome developer Dean McNamee wrote on the mailing list that he now has a 64-bit version running for the last few weeks "after a handful of changes on the Chromium side." The build instructions are on the project page.
Ubuntu users can get a native 64-bit build in Launchpad via a personal package archive (PPA). Windows users will have to be patient, as Chrome developer Mads Sig Ager indicates in a reply on the list: "We have focused on making the 64-bit version of V8 work on Linux and Mac at first." Having it compile on Windows is the next step, which they hope to accomplish "soon."

I plan to holiday in Agii Apostoli, to the west of Chania, for 7 days in September. I do not have a car.
What is the situation with public transportation (eg buses) if we want to travel along that coastline to the west of Chania? Is it for example reliable and frequent? And are the local taxis expensive?
In addition, if we want to go on day excursions to Agria Gramvousa Island and to Elafonissi Beach and Island, from Agii Apostoli, what is the best way?

Many thanks
anybody know where in the town the bus to the airport leaves from.im arriving by ferry

best car rental
Stopping in Kotor, Montenegro and in Greece will be stopping in Argostoli, Athens, Corfu and Mykonos
Any suggestions on what to do for the day in each? or what are the must dos?
are excursions recommended or would catching a bus or cab to the attractions be good enough?
which places are easily accessible from the port(walking distance and enough do with out going on a tour or bus or cab)
TIA for your help :)
Hi there,
Hoping for your opinions on which area to stay in Corfu!
We have 4 nights in Corfu (July 9th - July 13th 2017).
We have 5 adults and 2 children (6 and 8 years old).
I have done lots of research but can't work which area to stay - it looks like there are many beautiful palces!!
What we would like:
- close to a beach
- close to tavernas
- 3-4 bedroom villa with private pool
We would also like to have a little explore of Corfu old town.
We don't need to be close to night clubs or late night bars.
Which town / area would be best, in your opinion for a group of 7 with a nice beach and nice village / tavernas?
I am wondering after a LOT of reading about Kassiopi...?
Hi guys!
We need to get to the airport early in the morning tomorrow (gotta be there by 6), and I was wondering if we can catch a bus to the airport from the Firostefani bus stop? Do they run that early?
I have 8-9 days to spend on the Greek islands and I have narrowed it down to Naxos, Santorini and Mykonos. Any comments on how many days you would spend on each? Also, what order would you recommend to do them in according to ferry schedule?
We will visit chania in November during our cruise (Souda port). Where is the tourist information center to get maps and information?
thank you
I arrive at the Athens airport around 10 am and I see that a lot of the ferries leave at 7 am for the islands. There are others that sail around 2 pm for Santorini but would get into destination port late at night which I would prefer to avoid. I therefore figured that I would stay the first night in Athens and then take the 7 am ferry the next day. My question is, can I purchase ferry tickets at the airport or can they only be purchased at Piraeus? I thought I saw on the website that you may be able to purchase online but you still need to have the tickets printed off at the port. True?
Hello I've just joined VT im holidaying in Parga last week sept,first oct looking for trip advice and what to see near by
Hi there. Will I be able to find walking sticks, such as tree branches, at the top of the gorge in Omalos, before I start the hike down to the sea? I really do not want to carry around expensive aluminum "ski poles" all over Europe. If not, should I take the "lazy hike" (going Up the Samaria to the narrow point, then returning down) the day before the downhill hike, so I can certainly find discarded tree branches?! And any advice re hiking is appreciated. I'm in my late 50s, and I consider myself an advanced beginner with good lower body strength. Thanks!

Pros: Looks cool, nice shiny disc tray front, lots of capabilities (like lightscribe and dual layer writing).
Cons: After about a year, it started writing dvds that would skip in all of my dvd players. I first thought it was just a bad copy, but I decided to write the same dvd with this drive and my other asus burner and the asus-burned disc was just fine. It never gave any errors, just wrote dvds that sucked.
Also about a month before this, the disc tray wouldn't open the first time I hit the button, like it was getting jammed. But I could press the open button again and it would open right up. And I never closed it just by shoving it in, I always used the button or eject function in programs.
Other Thoughts: Still works just fine as a cd/dvd reader, but I won't be buying Plextor anymore. My Asus driver is over 2 years old and still works.READ FULL REVIEW

Amazing how quickly things move on……
You'll have read all about my inner turmoil yesterday, being tempted by the new Mac Pro and the realisation that my plans for a new development machine based on a new Mac mini had to be put on hold whilst I considered using an iMac as an alternative.
I'm fortunate to already have a Mac Pro, one of the 8 cores introduced in Jan 2008, which is my main desktop machine and video production workstation. I wanted a second Mac to both act as a Snow Leopard test bed and also as a potential dedicated screencapture workstation.
I'd figured on getting a Mac mini for this, but the price differential between the maxed out Mac mini and the iMac was a mere £350 to get a much more capable machine plus a 24″ glossy screen.
Well, I was happily working away yesterday afternoon, with one eye on my Twitter feed as normal, when I spotted a tweet from @leanda with the news that she'd just had a great offer on the now "end of line" Mac Pro from her local Apple store. A significant discount off the usual price of a Xeon Quad Core 2.8Ghz Mac Pro – £400 off in fact!
Hmm, now that's a development machine.
Curious, I rang my local Apple store and lo and behold, they also had a couple of the same machines with the same discount (for business customers).
The bottom line was that could get a Xeon Quad Core 2.8Ghz Mac Pro with 2GB RAM for just under the price of a new 24″ iMac. In all honesty, I didn't really need the display on the iMac, and with the Mac Pro, I'd have the ultimate in flexibility and more than enough raw computing power for a long time to come. Besides which, if I had a second 8 core Mac Pro, I could combine both machines at encoding time using Virtual Clusters in Compressor and all 16 cores should be utilised to the max, reducing my current video encoding times by half.
Now my current Mac Pro is currently configured with 10GB RAM and potential "other' Mac Pro has only 2GB. Apple memory is out of the question but a quick search at OWC showed I could upgrade both machines to 16GB RAM for approx £400 including shipping. A quick trawl at ebuyer showed 4 x 1TB drives would set me back another £280.
So in effect, I'd be getting an Xeon Quad Core 2.8Ghz Mac Pro with 16GB RAM and 4TB disk (and upgrading my current Mac Pro to 16GB RAM in the process) for approximately £600 less than buying a base model of the new Mac Pro.
So yes, I scuttled off to my local Apple store and did the dirty deed!
So now I'm the owner of two "End of LIne" Mac Pros with more horsepower that I ever dreamed possible. I've not set up the other beast yet as I'm waiting on the other bits to arrive.
One thing I'm going to test out is "teaming" the dual gigabit ethernet ports on each machine using link aggregation
Link aggregation allows you to aggregate or combine multiple physical links that connect your Mac to a link aggregation device (a switch or another Mac) into a single logical link. The result is a fault-tolerant link with a bandwidth equal to the sum of the bandwidths of the physical links.
In effect, this would give each machine a huge fat fast pipe between each other which again, should speed up the video encoding and enable me to pass the huge video files I create between each machine with ease. I need to do some more research on this as I think you need a special type of gigabit switch, but I'll keep you informed!
I'm also seriously considering setting one of the machines up as just a dedicated video production machine, optimised for video production and not to be fiddled with or experimented with.
So that's the end of my
justification to myself reasoning behind what some people may think as crazyness (looking at you Allison) but it really is a business tool. I spend countless hours in front of my rig editing and encoding, so it's an investment in technology to help smooth out the process and also another learning experience to share.
With GrandCentral in Snow Leopard, I'm fully expecting more and more applications to become multi processor aware, so over time it's not just the video encoding side that will benefit.
Finally, it's always good to remember when investing in Mac kit, just how long the kit both lasts and is supported. I fully expect these machines to be earning their keep for many years, not just for me. The resale value of Macs is significant, so when the time does come to upgrade to the next level, both machines should still attract a pretty decent price, recouping a significant amount of the initial investment.
If I can ever bring myself to part with them!

Towards the end he said something like Sony is showing you the future instead of (Microsoft) asking you to imagine it... BUT that's exactly what Sony did! They showed a series of tech demos and said imagine what we can do with this one day, and Microsoft showed us the beginning of a fully realized product that appeared to have tons of software already out for it. It almost seemed like Natal was just about ready to roll out.
I will admit that the coveted lightsaber game seems much more plausible with Sony's controller's 1:1 motion, but Microsoft is ahead here by leaps and bounds. It doesn't look like Sony is even prepared to treat this like anything more than an add-on with little support.
And as for Nintendo.... They just dropped the ball completely. Both Sony and Microsoft have shown us what the Wii could have been.

Gulfstream Park: Recent maiden winners meet in Wednesday allowance
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – A pair of recent maiden winners, Tapicat and Dancing for Glory, along with the graded-stakes-tested Fly Again top a field of seven 3-year-old fillies entered to go a mile on the grass in Wednesday's $54,500 allowance feature at Gulfstream Park.
Tapicat, a $725,000 yearling purchase trained by Bill Mott, won his turf debut going 1 1/16 miles here Dec. 2, while Dancing for Glory followed suit at a mile on the grass 12 days later. Fly Again finished fourth in the Grade 3 Miss Grillo Stakes at Belmont in her second start at 2.
◗ Newdad and Nikki's Sandcastle topped Monday's work tab at Gulfstream. Newsdad, going in company, breezed five furlongs in 1:00.47, while Nikki's Sandcastle went a very easy half-mile in 49.40 seconds under jockey Corey Lanerie. Both turf specialists worked over the main track.

Once again, welcome to our meetup group!
For those of you who are new to this group or even may have recently officially joined our Jaycees chapter, please consider attending this short 30-minute info session right before our next monthly meeting on March 12th.
The purpose of this session is to give an overview of our chapter, our main procedures and processes, projects, budget, and roles & responsibilities of board positions. Often we don't get the chance to cover all the background details during the monthly meetings themselves, so this session will help you better understand and participate and give you the opportunity to meet each other. Even if you have already attended a previous orientation, you are still welcome to attend! :)
Feel free to stay for the regular monthly meeting afterwards, so that you can get an even better idea what we are all about! Or, if you only have time for the info session, that is fine too, you are not required to stay for both.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Vanessa.

Like many other holiday films, 'Scrooged' is a modern-day update of the classic Charles Dickens' tale 'A Christmas Carol.' What sets this dark comedy apart? Two words: Bill Murray.
Murray takes the Ebenezer Scrooge role, this time portrayed as a cruel and angry television executive who bah humbug's anything Christmas-related. (If that wasn't bad enough, he also mixes his vodka with Tab.)

Woman answers to theft; stolen goods chargesJune 19,2013Woman answers to theft charges
A Rutland woman denied this week that she shoplifted or was found in possession of more than $1,000 worth of stolen goods from stores in Rutland and Manchester.
Rebecca L. Lambert, 32, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court Monday to misdemeanor charges of retail theft, possessing stolen property and operating a motor vehicle without a license. She was released after her arraignment on court ordered conditions.
The charges against Lambert stem from two separate incidents in late April and May.
She was first arrested and cited to appear in court on April 28 after store security at Walmart in Rutland told police Lambert had been seen stealing $84 worth of beauty products and clothing, according to court records.
On May 17, a Vermont State Police trooper arrested Lambert after a search of her car, found by police pulled off to the side of Route 7 in Wallingford, uncovered $1,005 worth of clothing reported stolen from the Orvis and Orvis Outlet stores in Manchester, police said.
If convicted of all three charges, Lambert faces a maximum penalty of up to 3 1/2 years in jail.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday to...
