SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- August 27, 2007 -- On August 31, Springfield College will open up its athletic season as host to a trio of tournaments over Labor Day Weekend. The women's volleyball, women's soccer, and field hockey squads will all welcome some of the top teams from around the region in the opening weekend of collegiate athletics for the Pride.
The women's soccer team welcomes Elms College, Western New England College, and Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts to the Irv Schmid Complex on September 1-2. The Invitational will open with WNEC and Elms squaring off at 5:00 p.m. before the Pride will take on MCLA at 7:30 on Saturday evening. On Sunday, WNEC and MCLA will play at 5:00 p.m. before Elms and Springfield play in the nightcap on Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m.
With several talented returning players Head Coach John Gibson's squad looks to duplicate its success it had in 2006, going 14-6 and qualifying for the ECAC Tournament. Heading the way will be the anchor of the Pride defense, junior Kayla Thibeault. A First Team All-NEWMAC selection, First Team D3kicks.com All-New England, NCAA Division III All-New England second team and All-New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA) second team selection in 2006, Thibeault started all 20 games for the Pride and will lead the way in 2007.
When the Springfield College women's volleyball team takes the court on Friday evening, Aug. 31, as host of the Springfield Invitational, there will be plenty of new faces on the floor for Head Coach Joel Dearing. Dearing's squad will play host to Colby-Sawyer, University of New England, and Rhode Island College beginning on Friday evening. The Pride return just seven players from last season's squad that went 27-8, and just one that appeared in all 35 matches. However, Dearing is very excited about a corps of newcomers to the program who he anticipates will make an immediate impact for the Pride.
A pair of seniors embarks on their final season at Springfield as Lindsay Marone and Alyssa Muething look to lead the Pride in 2007 while five returning juniors will provide the leadership to the youthful Pride. Aylene Ilkson returns with the most experience on the squad while incoming two-time All-Western Mass selection Bethany Stosz looks to turn heads in her first season in Blake Arena.
As Head Coach Melissa Rogers enters her fourth year at the helm of the Springfield College women's field hockey team, the Pride look to defend their 2006 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) title and return to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. Boasting a national preseason ranking of 15th according to the Preseason STX/NFHCA Division III Coaches Poll, the Pride are led by a group of student-athletes that understand what it takes to make it to the NCAA Tournament.
The Pride will open up the 2007 season on September 1 in the Zenaty Invitational. The Invitational will be the inaugural event held on Stagg Field, formerly known as Benedum Field, as Western New England College, Worcester State, and RPI and the Pride will all play on the brand new FieldTurf surface that was installed over the summer. Springfield and RPI open up action at 11:00 a.m. Saturday morning before WNEC and Worcester State play at 1:00 p.m. On Sunday afternoon, the third place game of the Invitational will occur at 11:00 a.m. with the championship game beginning at 1:00 p.m.
Springfield will once again be led by senior Brittany Veazie
, an NFHCA All-American and the 2006 NEWMAC Player of the Year. Veazie netted 18 goals and 7 assists for a total of 43 points a year ago and has registered 94 career points to date. The Pride, who had the 26th best scoring offense in the country last season, will also return junior Jane Kelleher, a NFHCA All-America Second Team selection last season after leading the team with 23 goals last season.

Our Mission
All students will have the attitudes, skills and knowledge
to be productive and responsible citizens.
Math is Cool!
Post Falls High School fall sports registration will be August 5th, 6th & 7th from 8:00am to noon each day.
Registration site has been changed to the foyer of the gym entrance, west side of high school.
Please park in the student parking lot and enter the building through the west doors by the Arena.
Heritage Health will have a mobile clinic for physicals on Tuesday August 5th from 9am to noon. Parent consent required.
Please bring the sport packet completed and signed to registration; sport packets are available at registration.
We will also be setup to take student/athletic fees.
Post Falls School District has been awarded two $50,000 Khan Academy Grants funded by the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation. One grant will outfit three Post Falls High School classrooms with Chromebook computers that are used to give students access to advanced math practice lessons via the Khan Academy. The second grant will provide Chromebooks for three Post Falls Middle School classrooms to allow middle school students access to the Khan Academy math materials. PFHS received a $50,000 grant last year to pilot the program. The PFHS staff members that were involved in the project were recognized for their exceptional work by the foundation during a ceremony in May. These teachers were then invited to apply for the additional grants for this upcoming school year.
The Board of Trustees recently honored Century Publishing for their ongoing contribution to school district activities. Specifically, Century Publishing is the main sponsor for the district's annual spring food drive. David Risdon, CEO, was present to receive the recognition during the regular July Board Meeting. He and his company, provide all the prizes and incentives to the schools for collecting the food destined for the Post Falls Food Bank. Over 16,000 pounds of food was collected this year. Century Publishing supports many other district activities including the Reverse Job Fair. A big thank you goes out to Century Publishing. They are one of the district's fantastic business partners.
Mullan Trail Elementary School and Ponderosa Elementary Schools have been awarded grants through the Idaho Technology Pilot Program. Mullan Trail will receive $204,000 and Ponderosa will receive $250,000. The money will be used to fund innovative technology projects in both schools that if successful can be replicated in other schools around the state. The Idaho State Legislature set aside $3,000,000 for this project and 99 grants were submitted for consideration from across Idaho, totaling over $26,000,000. A total of 15 grants were ultimately funded out of the 99 requests and two came from Post Falls School District.
To be eligible, a pilot project had to be a full integration model and designed to improve student academic growth and financial efficiencies throughout the entire school. The project had to be scalable to other schools and demonstrate sustainability statewide after the technology pilot period ends. The 15 grant awards were selected by a committee of education stakeholders in a "blind" process.
Mullan Trail Elementary wants to become Idaho's first "Google School." The goal of this "Google School" is to assist teachers in improving student achievement and engagement by utilizing technology to deliver unique, authentic and challenging lessons specific to their students' interests, learning styles and abilities. Mullan Trail will purchase and implement Chromebooks, tablets and management systems, Chromecast and other Google accessories to improve student achievement by providing individualized instruction based on real time data. Mullan Trail also intends to use some of the pilot grant funding to install and enhance Wi-Fi and network infrastructure to ensure sustainability. In addition to the technology purchases, Mullan Trail is also making a significant investment in professional development for their teachers and staff.
The Ponderosa Elementary pilot project entitled "G.A.M.E.ON!", for Going Another Mile to Educate, intends to capitalize on today's students' familiarity with digital games and game mechanics. This will help to ignite enthusiasm in the individual student's desire to "show what they know" and "level up" to more advanced material at their own rate. The intent is to "Gamefy" aspects of education challenging students to master skills and concepts, move on to more challenging levels and be recognized for their achievements. Using a $249,909.60 grant award, the school will purchase Chromebooks and accessories, and utilize Open Educational Resources, Mozilla Open Badges, and personalized content. Students will practice and master reading, writing and mathematics while creating and accessing new, personalized educational content. If a student is struggling with a subject, they can utilize approved, online content such as Khan Academy to progress at their own pace. Advanced students will be able to move on at their own pace as well. Learners will earn digital badges for mastering content based on Idaho Core Standards and will be able to "level up" to new, more challenging content as they demonstrate mastery.
The Post Falls High School Class of 2014 has been offered nearly $3,000,000 in college scholarships. The awards were recently announced as part of the Senior Awards Night activity held at the school. The following are just a few of the scholarships offered to our outstanding senior class:

After ApplyingYyou may be contacted by phone or mail for more information. You will not not need to come into the office for an interview. The worker has up to 30 days to process your application. A written notice will be sent telling you of the decision reached. If found eligible, you will receive a notice of eligibility and payment amounts.
Before a decision is reached on your application, you must take the CCAP Rate and Availability Verification form for each child in need of care to your child care provider to complete. It will be your responsibility to return the form completed by your provider and any additional information requested by the due date given. If determined eligible, all payments are made directly to eligible providers.
You may choose care in:
- A licensed Class A Day Care Center
- A Family Child Day Care Home that meets registration requirements and cares for no more than six children
- A school program
- Your own home (provider cannot live at the same residence)
- A licensed child care center determined by the Department of Defense
The amount that is paid is based on household size and income, the number of hours you and any other adults/parents work or attend an educational or training program, the number of hours your child is in care, and the applicable maximum rate. You will be responsible for paying the provider the difference between the total amount charged and the amount the program pays.
Providing false information, withholding information, or failing to report changes is subject to penalty under the law. If providing false information or withholding information causes an overpayment for child care, you may be required to repay to the Office of Family Support the amount of ineligible benefits that you received. If you purposely fail to report any information that causes you to receive benefits you are not eligible for, you may have fraud charges brought against you and you may be disqualified from participating in the program. If intentional program violation is established, penalties are as follows: (1) twelve months for the first violation, (2) twenty-four months for the second violation, and (3) permanently for the third violation.
What is the Louisiana Quality Rating System?
It is a quality rating system (QRS) for child care. The goal of QRS is to increase the quality of child care and early learning for all children throughout Louisiana, and to give parents and consumers the ability to understand, assess and demand higher quality.

in the event of an Emergency
In the event that a hurricane or other disaster occurs and produces widespread evacuation and extensive property damage, action may need to be taken to help ensure the safety of all children being cared for by licensed, registered, or certified providers. If a disaster occurs and you are in one of the AFFECTED PARISHES, it may be necessary to suspend your license, provider registration, or certification WITHOUT NOTICE until your facility or home can be verified as safe to provide child care. This may be accomplished by a required State Fire Marshall inspection, State Health inspection, on-site Licensing inspection and/or other agency-mandated procedure to ensure the safety of children in care. Your license, provider registration, or certification would remain suspended until your facility is verified as safe.
If such a disaster occurs, check the DCFS website to determine if your facility or home is located in an affected parish and for additional information and instructions in the procedures for re-instatement of your license, registration, or certification. In addition, licensed child care providers should contact the Licensing Section at (225) 342-9905 as soon as possible once the hurricane or event has passed if instructions on how to reinstate your license is not available on the website. All other child care providers should contact the DCFS Provider Directory at 1-888-LAHELP-U (1-888-524-3578) for instructions on how to reinstate Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) eligibility.
If you do not follow the necessary procedures to reinstate your license and eligibility for CCAP, it may result in a break in your licensure status, closure of your licensing file and/or a break in or loss of CCAP payments.

If you own a house and have kids, you've undoubtedly had weekends like the one I just had. We started the weekend by doing some overdue housework on Saturday morning, ran a bunch of errands, and...

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Friday, June 23, 2012
A shooting shut down the intersection of Oliver and Mt. Vernon in southeast Wichita Friday evening. The shooting was reported at about 8:35 p.m.
Officers on scene said an argument started between occupants of two vehicles, a car and a truck, at the intersection. Several shots were fired out of one vehicle at the other.
"We happened to have an officer right at the intersection when it happened. Right now, we have two male victims in their 20's that were hit," Wichita Police Lt. Jose Salcido.
The officer on scene stayed to help the victims rather than chasing the suspect vehicle. One man suffered two gunshots wounds to the buttock region, and the other was hit multiple times in the leg. One victim ventured to a nearby gas station for help.
Salcido says, "He actually went to the gas station...sought assistance; they helped him out until we got here."
Both were reported in critical condition.
But police are looking for a flatbed truck, possibly white with a towing company logo on the door. No arrests have been made.
No other information has been released. Updates will be provided as soon as they become available.

I recently came across a book...Posted March 8, 2013
I recently came across a book for which I had been looking for about fifteen years. I didn't know what the name of the book was, or who had written it! all I knew was that there just had to be a book out there that was organized as a design handbook for those who basically know how to work wood, but want to build their own custom furniture from their own plans. It would have solutions to problems such as different ways to fit drawers into a case, and different ways to construct any style of case or cabinet, from traditional to contemporary methods. Over the last fifteen years, every furniture design book I've seen covers a few esoteric concepts such as the golden rectangle and then degenerates into a few fragmented studies of how to make particular furniture components, completely missing important details like how a tall chest is constructed, for example. At long last, from the author of Woodworking With The Router, and Bill Hylton's Power-Tool Joinery comes the definitive treatment of how to design any kind of casework! In Illustrated Cabinetmaking, Bill Hylton has compiled a very worthy design notebook, and like the quote from Woodworking Magazine says, this is the Gray's Anatomy of woodworking. The book begins with basic furniture anatomy and a brief summary of traditional furniture styles from medieval times to the early 20th century, with bullet-pointed hallmarks of each style. Then Hylton progresses to construction details and solutions, from basic joinery and how to cope with wood movement, to different alternatives for constructing doors and drawers and incorporating them into cabinetry, to the fundamentals of designing or selecting moldings to be used on upright cabinets, and everything in between. The remaining 242 pages are taken up with type studies of nearly every sort of furniture piece, including all different types of tables, desks, chests, cabinets, and beds. No measured shop drawings here! each type study includes an exploded drawing of a typical example of the type, joinery and construction notes, classic design elements, stylistic variations, and typical dimensions where necessary, all designed to assist in developing your own project plans. Also included with each type study is information on where to obtain published plans of similar projects, for those who do not wish to design their own piece from scratch. In a nutshell, this book is a must-have for those who have an interest in building furniture, whether from plans made completely from scratch or from published plans {possibly with a few customizations}. The author assumes that the reader already knows the basics of how to work the wood, and focuses on how to design furniture that actually works, looks great and is built to last.

Each Monday, Patch takes a peek at some of the more surprising, shocking, stunning and occasionally silly police-related incidents reported throughout New Jersey for "OMGs from NJ PDs." Here are a couple of the reports:
Burned: A call to Kinnelon police by a homeowner complaining of a strange, possibly burning, odor , police said. Firefighters even used an infrared camera to locate the possible fire — which led them to the alleged pot.
Young at Heart: Never let it be said that irresponsibility is only the domain of the young. The Boomers can take on grossly foolish tasks, too. Such was the case, West Deptford police said, with a 60-year-old driver when his 2002 Pontiac Firebird went off the road, plowed through a landscaped berm and smacked into the side of a building. The driver was treated at a local hospital, but stable, and faced a number of citations when he got out.
Oh, Baby: It seems either three young women have expensive taste in booze, or their infants do; police were banking on the former. after reportedly finding high-end vodka hidden in portable baby seats. All three were too young to have liquor (whether purchased or stolen), so they faced charges for that, as well.
What Was He Aiming For? A Hackensack man is facing charges after, police say, . The man now faces a criminal mischief charge in addition to the ones that got him to court in the first place. So he'll be back to the courthouse—hopefully with an empty bladder.

The Journal Express
---- — A Call To Serve (ACTS) Ministries of Iowa will hold its annual Service Surge in multiple communities tomorrow, May 11, from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. (The rain date is scheduled for June 1, 2013.) As of Tuesday afternoon, over 280 participants have already registered to take part in the event. They will gather at a rally point, to be determined by each community, to check in that morning before splitting into work project groups for the day. Celebrate Church will be the rally point in Knoxville. This will be ACTS seventh Service Surge in the last five years.
"ACTS is excited to partner with six communities this year for a day of service", said board member Joel Bennett. Those communities include Knoxville, Pella, Melcher-Dallas, Ottumwa and Oskaloosa.
The Service Surge hosted by ACTS last year was located in Knoxville and engaged over 200 volunteers.
"It is a small time commitment with a huge impact on the community," said Service Coordinator, Breanne Patel.
Most of the projects will be focused around painting, clean-up, landscaping, and other home repair items. All volunteers are welcome regardless of age, skill level, or faith background. General labor, hospitality, photo/videographer, and prayer roles are available.
Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. For more information about the event, go to www.actsofiowa.org.

He's heard it before.
Too small to play defense, which the ex-Muskogee High standout wound up doing.
Too small to be a Division I receiver, but he led the Southeastern Conference of Division II in receiving, earning All-America honors.
Too small to be an NFL receiver — you won't find him on any NFL mock drafts.
Don't be too quick to count Shjuan Richardson out again.
The 5-foot-8, 172-pounder will be at Cowboys Stadium for the NFL's Super Regional combine next Sunday and Monday, having qualified from among 240 players at the NFL regional combine in Houston in mid-February.
In 2012, more than 25 percent of Super Regional participants earned NFL contracts.
Like his Twitter ID suggests, why can't it be ShjuanTime?
"Wherever I go, I believe I can play with people," he said.
Confidence is one thing. Skill is another, and he has made his statements in that department as well.
Richardson had 84 catches for 1,375 yards as a senior at Emporia State. He ranked third in the nation in total receiving yards, sixth in receiving yards per game and 18th in catches. He ended his Hornet career ranked second in school career receiving yards with 2,842 and career touchdown receptions with 28, and fifth in career catches with 169.
Richardson ran a 4.42 40-yard dash at Houston.
"That made me mad," he said. "I've run 4.32 last summer at Emporia. I can't be sure as to the specific reason, but I know they had us wear these big shirts we had to tuck in as opposed to doing it in tights (which is what he did at Emporia). I wasn't comfortable."
Strength is another factor. "I want to get my bench (press) up from Houston," he said. "Instead of 9 to 10 reps at 225, I want 12 or 13 next week."
His route-running, he felt, was good.
But will it be enough in Arlington?
"In my mind, 4.4 is fast enough for any league," said Coleman Hughes, his former receivers coach at Muskogee. "He's always had a knack for catching and making people miss. He's deceptively fast."
Hughes recalled a time in Summer Pride going into Richardson's freshman season where the take on him on the defensive side of the ball was he was too small to play there.
"When I heard that I was like, 'that's fine. I'll take him.'" Hughes said. "I knew his family, knew his background and I knew he would work. There's a certain intangible in some kids in that regard and he has it."
Playing as part of a receiving corps that included Oklahoma signee Jameel Owens, the 2007 All-Phoenix MVP, Richardson made the team his senior season with 49 catches for 692 yards and eight TDs as the Roughers advanced to the Class 6A semifinals.
Over the course of his MHS career, he eventually showed a physical side and became a starter on defense.
"Late junior, early senior year they found out he wasn't afraid to take a hit," Hughes said. "I knew it. And having that as a background playing on offense, he can read coverage be it cover 2, cover 4, cover 8, whatever.
"He can get off the line of scrimmage with quick feet, He's got soft hands that can catch anything. Sure, if he was 6-2, he's already be noticed, but you can't put guys in a box because when you do, you'll have one break out of it and make you look stupid."
And Richardson, Hughes said, need only look within his own state to know that.
"Wes Welker (former Heritage Hall standout) wasn't in that prototypical mold and look what he's done at New England," Hughes said. The 5-9, 187-pounder who went undrafted out of college has been selected to the Pro Bowl, the All-Pro Team, or both, in every season of his Patriots career.
Richardson initially signed out of college with Texas Southern, a Football Championship Subdivision (1-AA) school, but left before classes began his freshmen year and met up with Emporia State coach Garin Higgins.
"It was a good Division II and it made me realize that I still had a shot at doing what I wanted with my career provided I worked my butt off," Richardson said.
And he's prepared to do what he has to next weekend when the number of NFL scouts intensify from the scant few at the regional combine.
"All he has to do there is impress one person who is willing to take a chance, one person who says he can fit in his system," Hughes said.
The event is set to be broadcast on the NFL Network.

Wonder what it was. Is that a boy with cowboy hat in the window?ReplyDelete
I think the gift was a hat, scarf, apron or perhaps a set of kitchen towels.ReplyDelete
It's interesting to see what wrapping paper looked like back then.ReplyDelete
I wish the picture was in color. I would love to know if the paper is red or green or another color.Delete

Springfield, Mass. - October 5, 2010 - Jackie Moscardelli scored the game's only goal in the 66th minute to lift the Springfield College women's soccer team past visiting Smith College, 1-0, in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) contest on Tuesday evening.
The win lifts Springfield to 7-4 on the season, including a 3-1 record in conference play. Smith falls to 1-7-1, 0-3-1.
The Pride dominated the match as it tallied 18 shots in the victory and held Smith without a shot for the entire game. Springfield also took 12 corner kicks, while the Pioneers earned one for themselves. Erin Greenstein was not tested as she earned the shutout victory in goal. Her counterpart, Lindsey Gregor, totaled 10 saves in 90 minutes of action.
Springfield had a pair of quality chances in the first half, but Suzanne Silva and Erica Donnelly each had their shots just miss the back of the net as they clanged off the post.
Moscardelli finally broke through for Springfield at the 65:59 mark as she took a feed from Jenelle Jahoda and carried the ball into the 18-yard box before powering a tremendous shot into the left corner for the game's only marker.
This season, Moscardelli has tallied three goals for the Pride, all of which have been game-winning strikes.
The Pride return to the pitch on Saturday afternoon when it travels for a conference game at WPI.

CNN's Larry King on the Left
His new autobiography gives away his political leanings.
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
Interviewer Larry King's on-camera politics are inscrutable. But the CNN host comes clean about his lefty views in his autobiography, My Remarkable Journey, which landed in bookstores this week. King worries the disclosures might affect his objective image. "I talked to officials at CNN about it," he says. "But if you're writing an autobiography, you'd be comatose not to have opinions on certain things. You hit a certain age and if you don't have opinions, people think there's something the matter." King says his left-of-center politics—anti-Iraq war, against the death penalty, and for a sturdy social safety net—grew out of his childhood in Depression Brooklyn. "Policies for the poor helped me," says King, 75. "New York City bought me my first pair of glasses." Still, Lefty Larry isn't an Obamatron—yet. "He's so new upon the scene," King says. "The No. 1 thing he has that you can't invent, teach, or buy is likability. But where's the elements? Where's the fill down? We don't know yet."

Linux Means Business to the City of Garden Grove
The City of Garden Grove has been a Pick shop since implementing a Microdata Reality in the late 1970s. The original system supported 24 users. In 1984 the Reality was replaced by a Honeywell/Ultimate machine with over 100 serial ports for terminals and printers. In 1990, the City needed a larger system, so it replaced the Ultimate with a 512 user Data General running DGUX /Advanced Pick. At the same time, the City was beginning to use personal computers (PCs) in the workplace, leading to the need for a PC network. A consultant was hired in 1993, but his equipment recommendation was declined due to budget constraints.
Still needing a network, the Information Systems department needed to develop a phase-in plan, so under the direction of the IS manager, Robert Shingledecker, in June 1993 a mini-lab was set up to evaluate different network solutions for a multi-server environment in. The first network chosen for testing was Novell 4.0, which promised seamless integration of multiple servers. Two Novell network engineers took three weeks to set up the first server and then an additional three weeks to set up a second one. Even then, the integration was not as promised.
Disillusioned with Novell, Bob decided to go out and purchase the newly released Windows NT. The IS staff took only 3 days to get NT up and running. Unfortunately, at that time NT's speed was unimpressive, Netbeui (the only available protocol) was not routeable, and NT was unable to share printers with the existing Unix system.
Since the City was already using Unix, Unix was the next system considered for networking. After researching Unix networking on the Internet, the decision was made to try out a NFS network. Unfortunately, four different commercial NFS clients failed to work with Microsoft's newly released Word 6.0. The first NFS product to solve the Word problem was XFS, a shareware NFS client from Germany, available on the Internet. The Internet soon became an invaluable source of both information and software. The City installed its first production network in July 1994, in the Public Services Department, using an SCO Unix 486 File Server and 16 XFS/Windows 3.1 clients. The PCs had dual connections—Ethernet connections to the local SCO server and serial/mux connections to DGUX/Pick.
In September 1994, IS learned that the City would be moving to a new building, and that our network project would have to be accelerated. The computer systems for each campus building, especially that of the Police Department, would have to be able to "stand alone and be fully functional." XFS did not run on Windows 3.11 at that time, so we continued to search the Internet for a network solution. That's when we discovered Samba. Samba emulates SMB networks (LanManager, WFW, Windows NT) on Unix, and provides an even easier solution for networking since no additional non-Microsoft software had to be loaded on the clients. The next production network was installed in December of 1994 in the Housing Department, using an SCO Pentium File server and 20 Windows for Work groups (WFW) clients. The Samba network proved faster than any network previously tested, and in addition, it was much easier to maintain. The server was also running a 16 user license of Advanced Pick (AP), so now the clients had only one connection to the server—Ethernet. Immediately following this success, we set up another Samba network for the Police Department that included a 48 user license of AP running on an SCO Pentium file server with 100 WFW clients.
In February 1995, having taken care of all the satellite buildings, we prepared to move City Hall, connect all local buildings via Fiber and plan a Wide Area Network (WAN) including a T1 connection to the Public Services Department. Meanwhile, the discovery of Samba led to the discovery of the Unix Platform it was developed on, Linux. Linux had everything SCO had—plus much, much more including Internet tools. Testing then began on the use of Linux. Linux is amazingly simple compared to SCO, its setup and performance is better than SCO and it's free. In April 1995, the Public Services Network was converted from SCO/XFS to Linux/Samba with noticeable performance improvements. In June 1995, discussion began on what to do with the Data General (DG), as the City planned to move into its new building in November.
Pick systems released a Beta copy of AP/Linux and the City started testing it in September 1995. After discussions with Pick Systems regarding support of AP/Linux, it was decided to leave the DG behind and run the City with the successful Intel/Linux/Samba/Pick network. The City also established a presence on the Internet in September by setting up a web page (http://www.ci.garden-grove.ca.us) hosted by Deltanet Internet Services, with future plans to bring it in house.
In November, the DG was abandoned, and the new City Hall is now run by two Linux Pentium File servers. One runs Samba and serves the PC network, and the other runs the Advanced Pick database. Together the servers handle 150 WFW clients. Housing's SCO/AP/Samba server was changed over to Linux followed by the conversion of the Police server from SCO to Linux in March. Concurrently, the Fiber backbone was installed throughout the Campus buildings. IS was now prepared to set up an intranet. By this time the network consisted of 8 servers (5 production Linux servers, 2 lab [test] Linux servers and 1 Sun server for imaging). The City Hall Samba Server was now running NCSA's web Server and the City's intranet was born.
The IS staff then began to work with HTML, Perl and Python to create CGI applications on the Web. Next, we decided to get the Pick Server involved. The first web page to extract data from the Pick Server did so with HTML, CGI and Perl. It was done by having the Perl script call a Pick application which wrote to a temporary file in Unix that was then read by the calling Perl script. This method worked, but proved to be slow. Because of the networking features of Linux and AP, we decided that the speed could be improved if the two servers communicated over sockets. The new speed was incredible. Almost instantaneously, the data requested by the web page was returned by the Pick server. The City's intranet was undergoing a growth spurt, and a GUI solution for Pick applications had been found.
In June of 1996, the City added a T1 speed Frame Relay connection to Intelenet Internet Services, adding yet another Linux Server that acts as a firewall between the new Frame Relay line and the City's network. IS is currently in the process of bringing the City's WWW page in house. We can now write applications to make information on the Pick Server available to the world via the World Wide Web. IS is also creating an imaging system based on the WAIS server—so development continues.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
