Zoho Office for Microsoft SharePoint is now available, the company announced this week. It's the latest online productivity suite offering from Boston- and Pleasanton, CA-based software-as-a-service provider Zoho.
Zoho's solution provides Office-like applications via the Internet cloud, with application programming interface (API) hooks into Microsoft's SharePoint Server product. Users can store documents and collaborate in real time through SharePoint. The app saves money that otherwise might be spent on Microsoft Office licensing, according to a Zoho company statement.
The offering suggests potential turmoil for Microsoft as competition heats up in a "Software plus Services" world. Software plus Services is Microsoft's term for describing IT's use of both hosted and installed software.
Big money is on the line, too, according to Guy Creese, vice president and research director at the Burton Group.
"Enterprise businesses are spending huge amounts on Microsoft Office licensing and document sharing in general," Creese said. "Online collaboration using Office-like applications represents a major change in the software business model. The big question is, Will Microsoft adjust to this with a more economic suite of online Office applications in Office 2010?"
Office 2010 is scheduled for release to manufacturing in the first half of next year. Microsoft is projecting some sort of licensing change as well.
"We will announce new delivery and licensing models to help reduce costs and improve deployment and management options for IT professionals, including on-premise or cloud deployment options," a recent Microsoft blog post explained regarding Office 2010.
Zoho Office for Microsoft SharePoint sits atop SharePoint Server as an add-on, and requires no client software other than a browser. Access to Microsoft's API documentation may be making this sort of integration possible.
Microsoft released documentation for many of its APIs last year after years of government antitrust oversight. A number of software-as-a-service providers -- such as Alfresco, Think Free and even Google -- have since leveraged those APIs to integrate with Microsoft's software.
Customers get better integrated solutions as a result, but Microsoft could lose some market share.
"Office has been the gold standard for business computing and SharePoint is a very successful product for Microsoft," Creese said. "The gaining popularity of offerings such as Zoho's, that work with Microsoft systems, probably means better sales for SharePoint, but will Microsoft be happy with just a slice of the pie as opposed to the whole pie?"
Creese said it was the superior functionality and widespread acceptance of Microsoft Office that made the difference with SharePoint. He noted that today, businesses are taking a hard look at the bottom line for IT. Alternatives that offer an open platform and less functionality are becoming more popular.
"It's a very different world," he said. "Four years ago, if you would have stood up in a room and said Microsoft Office will be replaced, people would have thought you were crazy. That's no longer true."

Women's Vitamin D Needs Don't Vary By Race, Study Finds
TUESDAY, Feb. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Older black women who need vitamin D supplements don't need more to take more than white women, a new study concludes.
Although black women produce less vitamin D in their skin with sun exposure, researchers found that black and white women absorb and metabolize the vitamin at the same rate.
The study will be published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
"African-American women don't have to worry about taking larger doses of vitamin D to compensate," said study lead author Dr. J. Chris Gallagher, of Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, in a journal news release. "They should follow the current medical guidelines for vitamin D supplementation suggested recently by the Institute of Medicine."
In conducting the double-blind study, the researchers gave older black and white women of similar body types various doses of vitamin D. Although women with darker skin tend to have lower levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D or 25OHD, an indicator used to measure vitamin D levels, black and white women had similar responses to their supplements.
The researchers concluded that black women struggling with a vitamin D deficiency should received the same dose as white women to treat their condition.
The body's primary source of vitamin D is sunlight -- not food, the release noted. People who are deficient in vitamin D can develop abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus and bone metabolism. Children suffering from a lack of vitamin D could develop rickets or a bone-softening condition called osteomalacia. Adults with a vitamin D deficiency may experience muscle weakness.

In a speech delivered to the Aero Club of Washington, D.C., Wednesday, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said that "Today the American aviation industry is strong, and it's getting stronger. More people are flying, and more cargo is being shipped around the world."
LaHood (pictured) said that the aviation industry has seen a remarkable turnaround from where it was just a few years ago. "In 2008, U.S. airlines were in the red. Today, they're making money," LaHood said. "This progress is in large part a result of the people in this room. And I thank you for doing your part. The future looks bright—opportunities for American aviation are growing."
LaHood said that NextGen is no longer on the horizon, it's "happening now. As part of our Metroplex initiative, flights approaching the Washington DC area started using satellite routes in August and immediately began saving fuel and emissions. The new routes will save $2.3 million in fuel costs in the first year of operation.
"Today our new air traffic management system is used by air traffic controllers in more than 50 percent of the country. Four years ago, we had a lot of work ahead of us to make this happen—but now it's a reality.
"And today, we have made significant progress installing the ground based infrastructure that is critical to NextGen.
"By the end of this year, we plan to have more than 90 percent of the ground radio stations in place that will receive satellite information. This will improve the safety and efficiency of how we control aircraft."
LaHood also expressed confidence in "Boeing's ability to create a safe aircraft," but said the issues with the batteries will have to be resolved before the Dreamliner can be put back into service. "We are working diligently with Boeing to figure out the problem and to find a solution," the Secretary said. "Our goal is to get this done as quickly as possible, but we must be confident that the problems are corrected before we can move forward.
"Our job at DOT is to ensure the safety of the flying public, and that's exactly what we're doing," he said.

A little planning cuts dishwashing chores
Kris's hack inspired me to put a bit of thought into my own dish-and-silverware habits. It's amazing how much work one can avoid with a little planning.
If you're like me you hate doing dishes. I usually find myself 10:00 at night half asleep and grumpy loading and unloading the dishwasher wondering how on earth we were able to cover every inch of counter space with dirty dishes. So, I've been working on how to reduce the dirty dishes in my house in an environmentally-friendly way (which means no paper or plastic dishware). I came up with the idea of only using one set of silverware per day for preparing food. I put a glass cup by the sink and each time I use the fork/knife/spoon I rinse it off and put it back in the jar ready to use the next time. My rule is no getting extra silverware out of the drawer until the next day. I also use this rule for plates/cups and bowls. I just rinse them off after each use and let them dry on the dish rack. I do one load of dishes in the dishwasher every other night instead of every night.

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) -- Battle of Franklin Trust officials say they have discovered 30 previously unknown, turn-of-the-century photographs.
The trust's Eric Jacobson said the photos are of the Franklin battlefield, the Carter House and the Confederate Cemetery. Most were taken in 1904, but several are from 1899.
The Tennessean reports the photos were discovered in a house in Ohio years ago but were stored away.
A few of the images have been posted already on the Carter House Facebook page. The Battle of Franklin Trust is planning a public forum to allow the rest to be viewed in early 2013.

I have a 21-week-old son. I have just started to exercise again and I find that after exercise, and after sex, I tend to have some very light brownish-pink spotting. I am wondering if this is related to my fairly recent birth. I have had a pap smear at six weeks postpartum and it was negative. The obstetrician said that everything looked good. I did a pregnancy test (I am exclusively breastfeeding) and it was negative. Any ideas on the cause of this bleeding.Question:

This bleeding may very well be related to your last pregnancy. Just the physical manipulation of the cervix, which is still healing, or orgasm that makes the uterus contract can cause light spotting.
I am assuming that you have had no menses yet. This could also be related to hormonal fluctuations but you are correct to think about pregnancy. Spotting can also be related to the use of a diaphragm or birth control pills if you happen to be using either of these.
Certain infections, such as chlamydia, can cause spotting after sex. If it continues, call your care provider and have it checked out.

MHFU is (imho) a much much better game than Tri. It can be more difficult at times, but it's also a much more rewarding experience. There's far more content (weapon types/enemies) so you have a lot more "Freedom" to play more to your style.
If you even slightly licked MHTri, you should give Freedom United a shot as it's a stronger title in the series. Either that or pray MH3rdP (the best in the series) releases outside Japan.
Well good cause I just downloaded it before I read this I do wish there was a new MH game on vita or PS3 for that matter, but this should last me until then.

Georges Wolinski was born in 1934 in Tunisia. In 1946, his family moved to France, where he attended grammar and high school. In 1952, he went to Paris to study architecture, but he didn't finish his studies, and in 1960, he started contributing cartoons, illustrations and a series of comic strips to the satirical monthly Hara-Kiri. These comic strips were based on political or erotic themes: 'Ils Ne Pensent Qu' à Ça' ('They Only Think of One Thing'), 'Histoires Inventées' ('Invented Stories') and 'Hit-Parades'.
During the May 1968 student revolt, Wolinski co-founded one of the most mordant satirical magazines, L'Enragé (the Enraged). He also expressed his philosophy in the comic strip series 'Je Ne Veux Pas Mourir Idiot' (I Don't Want to Die an Idiot'). and 'Pas Que la Politique Dans la Vie' ('There is More to Life than Politics'). In 1977, Wolinski became an editorial cartoonist of the Communist daily L'Humanité. Wolinski's drawings can be found in the daily Libération, the weekly Paris-Match, L'Écho des Savanes and Charlie Hebdo.

BDPA creates the IT Corps
Largo, MD � Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA) is going global with the creation of an IT Corps much like the highly successful Peace Corps. The idea went public at the June 2008 Leon H. Sullivan Summit, an economic development conference held in Arusha, Tanzania.
BDPA�s IT Corps plans to send teams of young adults on technology-based community service missions in the U.S. and around the world, starting with Africa. The idea is for IT Corps members and local students to review existing civic priorities and devise appropriate technology-based solutions.
�This is our response to a rapidly globalizing world, and we are taking our place in it,� remarks Norman R. Mays, the first executive director of the IT Corps. Mays is an entrepreneur and past national president of BDPA.
The Sullivan Summit addressed socioeconomic development in Africa through direct foreign investment. An area of specific interest to BDPA is the summit�s objective to advance IT through regional economic community discussions. BDPA�s IT Corps student teams will do just that, sharing the skills they learned in BDPA�s mentoring, student competitions and technology education initiatives with their peers in Africa and around the world, and applying these skills to real-world problems.
The first student teams are expected to deploy in summer 2009. For more information visit see www.bdpa.org.
Our readers write:Dr Lo and the NRAO
We at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) greatly enjoyed your October/November article about our observatory and Dr. Fred K. Y. Lo, our director.
We thought your readers might be interested to read some additional information about the NRAO telescopes in the photos that accompanied the article, and the amazing science that these telescopes enable.

Astronomy Observatory
Charlottesville, VA
The NRAO Very Large Array (VLA) consists of twenty-seven individual antennas that together comprise a single powerful telescope system. Scientists have used the VLA, for example, to understand the physics of proto-planetary disks forming around young stars in our galaxy, to probe the environment of the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way�s center, and to detect radio waves emitted from galaxies located billions of light years from Earth. In a few years, new state-of-the-art electronics and software will transform the VLA into an even more capable research tool that will push the frontiers of science for decades to come.
The image above includes two telescopes in the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA) superimposed on the radio and optical radiation from a distant galaxy, as seen by the VLA and NASA�s Hubble Space Telescope, respectively. The radio-wave jets at the top of the image span a distance of nearly one million light years and indicate the presence of a supermassive black hole at the galaxy�s center.

George Nolen, Siemens Corp CEO, notes that the three honorees �are actively involved in Siemens diversity initiatives and are outspoken advocates for diversity within their industries.�
Affuso adds that �The diversity of our people is critical. Through our community service initiatives, university grants and training programs we�re able to reach people from all walks of life that bring a special depth to our company.�

SHPE president receives WTS diversity leadership award
Sacramento, CA � Diana Gomez, SHPE national president, has received the 2008 diversity leadership award from the Sacramento chapter of WTS, the national organization to advance women in transportation. The award recognizes organizations, companies and individuals that are broadening their multi-cultural initiatives, changing corporate cultures and philosophies.
The awards are intended to honor people and organizations for bold support and promotion of diversity, inclusiveness and multi-cultural awareness, either in their own organizations, the transportation industry, or activities that support the WTS diversity goals and mission.
Gomez, who will finish her third term as SHPE national president in 2009, is an engineer with Caltrans, California�s transportation department.
Wayne State receives alum gift to build engineering lab
Detroit, MI � Two Wayne State engineering alumni have pledged a quarter of a million dollars to build an infrastructure research lab specially designed for the college�s department of civil and environmental engineering.
The lab will be housed in the new Marvin I. Danto Engineering Development Center. It will support hands-on exploration in the department�s areas of specialization: structural, environmental, geotechnical and transportation engineering.
The donors are Andrew Haliw III and Avinash Rachmale. Halwi came to the U.S. as a displaced person after World War II, and earned a 1968 BSEE and a 1982 law degree at Wayne State. Rachmale came to the U.S. from India to further his education. In the early 1990s he received an MSCE and a certificate in hazardous waste management from the Wayne State College of Engineering.
Rachmale is founder, president and CEO of Detroit-based Lakeshore Engineering Services. �I am proud to be a Wayne State graduate and feel very fortunate to be able to provide this gift,� Rachmale says. �Because of the outstanding education I received I was able to build a world-renowned construction firm right here in Detroit.
�Now I am in a position to give back to my school and support its commitment to the inner city as well as provide opportunities for a wonderfully diverse student body.�
HENAAC recognizes 2008 Luminaries

Google and DuPont fund new STEM initiative
Philadelphia, PA � Google and DuPont have funded the first Summer Engineering Institutes (SEI) of the Leadership Education and Development program (LEAD) for academically strong high school students of color. In the summer of 2008 the inaugural SEI at Georgia Tech hosted thirty students for a three-week residency. A second SEI was held at the University of California-Berkeley.
For nearly thirty years LEAD has facilitated collaborations among minority high school students, corporations and universities at LEAD institutes held at business schools. The move to engineering support was inspired by a 2005 study by the National Academy of Engineering committee on diversity in the engineering workforce, which predicted severe problems to come if the U.S. does not boost science, technology, engineering and math performance.
�Despite efforts to improve the public�s understanding of engineering, studies show that K-12 students generally do not have a clear understanding of what engineers do,� says Don P. Giddens, dean of Georgia Tech�s College of Engineering. �Exposing high school students to exciting and innovative experiences through programs like the LEAD SEI will inspire young people and attract them to future careers in engineering.�
SEI curriculum focuses on electrical, mechanical, computer and civil engineering as well as associated fields like chemistry, biotech, biomolecular studies, materials science, aerospace, polymer textile/fiber research and technological systems. For more information, visit www.leadprogram.org.
Musical computer game lets visually impaired and sighted
play together
Cambridge, MA � AudiOdyssey is a new computer game developed by students from MIT and the Singapore/ MIT Gambit game lab. It lets visually impaired gamers play with their sighted friends.
The game simulates a disk jockey trying to build up a catchy tune to get people dancing. By swinging a Nintendo Wii remote the player sets the rhythm and lays down one musical track after another, building up a richer musical sound.
Eitan Glinert, a grad student in CS at the Gambit game lab, realized there were no computer games that the visually impaired and the fully-sighted could play together as equal competitors. Alicia Verlager, a recent MIT grad who is blind, helped with the development of the game.
�The element I most envy about gamers is the way they hang out together and share doing something fun,� Verlager says. �It was the social aspects of Guitar Hero and World of Warcraft that I really wanted to try myself. Hanging out with other gamers playing AudiOdyssey is really fun.�
AudiOdyssey is available for free download (Windows only) at gambit.mit.edu/loadgame/audiodyssey.php.
NOBCChE announces 2008 award winners

Shown below are the official state seals of Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming, in that order.
A state seal is an official emblem whose features are supposed to symbolize the state it represents. Ohio's seal, for instance, features the Scioto River separating cultivated fields from Mount Logan. A sheaf of wheat in the foreground represents agriculture. A bundle of 17 arrows symbolizes Ohio as the 17th state to join the Union.
Some states have more than one seal. These pages show each state's most recently approved state seal.
Pictured to your right is the official seal of the United States.
Fields of wheat, Scotia River, Mount Logan and the rising sun.
A five-pointed star, each point representing one of five Indian Nations - The Chickasaw Nation, the Choctaw Nation, Seminole Nation, the Creek Nation and the Cherokee Nation.
An American bald eagle, with wings outstretched, above a shield with symbols of ships and covered wagons.
A ship, a plow and three sheaves of wheat.
This state seal features a maritime motif with a ship's anchor as the centerpiece.
Palmetto Trees and a woman (symbolizing hope) walking on a battle-torn shore.
A background of sky, hills and river, with symbols representing the mining and farming industries.
Symbols or agriculture and commerce.
A five-pointed star flanked by two branches - an olive branch and a live oak.
An eagle, a beehive and two crossed arrows, flanked by U.S. flags.
Wavy lines suggesting sky and water. Four sheaves of wheat. A cow, rolling hills and forests.
The Roman goddess Virtus stands over a defeated opponent. She represents heroism, righteousness, freedom, and valor.
Picture of George Washington seems an obvious choice for the design of this state's official seal.
A large boulder in the center, symbolizing strength. Two rifles crossed in front of the boulder, draped with the Liberty Cap. A farmer with his ax and plow stands before a cornstalk. A miner lugs his pickax, and behind him an anvil and sledge hammer.
State symbols shown here include a miner, a badger, a cornucopia, a plow and an anchor.
Central female figure pays tribute to Wyoming's early advocacy of equal rights for women.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

A Butte man has died of injuries suffered when he fell from the bucket of an aerial lift.
Butte-Silver Bow County Coroner Lee LaBreche tells The Montana Standard that 46-year-old Jay F. Bickford died Friday at a Missoula hospital.
Sheriff Ed Lester says workers were transporting the lift on a flatbed truck and had stopped to adjust the machinery when Bickford and another man fell from the bucket. Bickford was taken to the Butte hospital then flown to a Missoula hospital, where he died Friday night.
The second man who fell suffered minor injuries.

"I was living at the business library here in San Francisco. I practically camped out there and used every imaginable resource," says Suzanne George, 34, who launched her made-to-order footwear business in the summer of 1995.
Much of George's library research was geared toward discovering the demographic and psychographic characteristics of her likely clients. "I was trying to define who my customer was, as far as socioeconomic status and lifestyle preferences," she says. "I found the people at the business library to be so helpful and knowledgeable. They directed me to tons of marketing guides and statistical information that I found really useful, pertaining to the nation as well as areas within San Francisco. I also read microfiche articles and every kind of shoe-industry journal I could get my hands on."
George also conducted a series of focus groups in her home. A focus group is a group interview, typically with eight to 12 individuals who are representative of the target market, led by a moderator who directs a discussion about a particular topic. She began each session by asking participants to complete anonymous questionnaires, then launched into a group discussion about purchasing habits and perceptions of custom-made goods.
"I really wanted to learn more about why people buy what they do --how people prioritize buying, how they make selections, and what kinds of behaviors surround that--so I did three focus groups with about 10 to 12 people in each," George explains. "These were people whom I already knew, but it was interesting to see how much the groups differed in their views. For example, people in the second group were people who didn't necessarily have as much money as those in the first group, but they were really into the idea that they wanted to have fewer, but better quality, things, and that they would support this kind of business. The people in the first group, who had more money, were like, `Suzanne, look, it's business. You've got to have good materials, but the bottom line is competition.' They were really much more hard-and-fast about getting quality goods at competitive prices."
As a result of her market research, George concluded there were three main target populations for her product: people in higher economic brackets who already purchase custom-made items; people in the special-event category, such as a woman getting married or a man needing a special pair of shoes for a black-tie event; and people with fewer economic resources who appreciate the value of handmade items and quality products and would be willing to pay a little bit more for custom-designed footwear.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

I am looking to discuss BYOD setups - could anyone direct me to the appropriate forum?
There is no specific forum for it, but you can find threads about it in various parts of the forum, the search function will help you highlight these threads.
I am am wondering why this is. I would have thought that BYOD was massively interesting and challenging in equal measures. Is it in fact such a well established technology that it's hardly worth mentioning, or so on the fringe that there is a general unawareness, or is it so well known to be problematic that nobody's touching it with the proverbial stick? I am finding it really hard to get a feel for this - quite stressful as I would like to implement BYOD but can't find a supplier capable of even returning an email never mind explaining what's involved!
This is the difinitive answer from @Dos_Box in another thread
BYOD includes subjects which already have sections on here. Filtering and firewalling, networking and wireless, VLE's etc.
People who can offer advice on the subject generally find the threads through searching and 'latest posts'.
[edit] sorry I seem to have been posting at the same time.

Also "BYOD" means different things to different people. If you define exactly what your expectations are you can usually quickly see what you need (or at least get more useful help from suppliers); there's a big difference between going to a supplier and saying "I want to BYOD ALL THE THINGS" and "I need a price to implement the following Aruba Clearpass modules, in a nice joined up manner, to onboard the personal devices of my users".
Thanks Roberto. All I would want is for staff and visitors to connect to the internet. Is this BYOD or just a 'hotspot' or both? For students I'm not so sure, because questions will be asked with regards to how we ensure safe usage. In simple terms, they could log into google apps and get on with the usual collaborative work we already do in our computer suite. Our impero would be no use here though. And they could happily download all sorts of nasties using dodgy proxy servers. Is this why an extra layer of technology is required? I suppose I really need to move forum, but you seem knowledgable!
Well there's a number of different issues here:
"Onboarding": the fancy name for enrolling guest devices. You need to have a mechanism in place that allows you to associate a user with their device to stop random people just connecting to an unprotected guest network.
Ideally you want this to involve actually enrolling their device (e.g. using something like a device profile with an authentication certificate) and if the students are old enough to make this a useful exercise, making sure they agree to an additional AUP before they sign up, which means you can't really just set up a wireless hotspot or two with a shared passwords, as students will just share passwords with their friends.
You might of course decide that actually you're happy to let this happen because you don't need anything fancier than a simple wireless hotspot, and that's fine, but its good to know that its a choice you can make. In any case, I would suggest this is a part of safeguarding - being able to see who has accessed dangerous material is obviously better than just knowing someone has.
Safeguarding/Security: You would probably want internet access to be filtered. We use a sonicwall system here to filter all our users, both wired & wireless devices we own and guest devices, but there are plenty of other alternatives out there. Smoothwall is one example that's well supported on Edugeek.
There's also the question of what the devices can see on your LAN. If you're just plugging wireless access points into your current network on an ad-hoc basis then you need to think about if you want the students using personal devices to be able to see what's on your internal LAN, or if you want to keep guest wireless traffic separate from your LAN and only route traffic out onto the web so they can only access your external services, google apps and the like.
It goes without saying of course that the cost of a project will start to skyrocket if you need to buy in a lot of new devices and consultancy. I work for a college where we budget quite a lot of money for delivery of wireless services and I'm still not entirely happy with what we've got at the moment.

Our specific setup at the moment as we are using Aruba equipment through our existing AD system, it operates a Guest and a "Proper" network.
Guest network is an open unsecured wifi that any user can connect to in the school areas covered by our 4 wifi APs, on connection it takes them to a "Capture Portal" page where they must log in with some further AD credentials to get any further (we have a Guest user account that we lend out to people needing the web who come into the school) for staff and students, it is set to filter the internet at the appropriate level then for their access. It took a long time to get this system working and right, but its stable now for us with few issues, one of the few we found is that every so often the team will basically delete 5,000 devices off our controller, where the kids have tried to take their phones/ipods online and connect once or its failed to connect. When machines are authed onto the guest network, they have internet access and that is it, they do not have any further connectivity to our systems internally.
The "Proper" network is secured and has an SSID and will only allow machines already placed in our networking ADs to connect to that (we have a couple of windows laptops we use for this purpose) when the devices are setup on this, they function the same as any other machine on the network and have full (albeit slower because wifi is 100mb whereas wired network is largely 1gb across the board) access to the network and all the servers and normal functions same as any particular curriculum/admin network machine.
Thanks Rich, could a member of staff use the guest internet access on their iphone/ipad, or just windows OS? It sounds just what we need; would this type of guest access be difficult or expensive to set up? We already have a good wired and wifi AD network. In the first instance I just want staff to use their own devices as a precursor to trying it with students. Also, what can be monitored on guest devices in the way of preventing/detecting breaches of network acceptable usage policies? Sorry for the shameless stream I questions - any answers appreciated if and when you get the time!
If you already have the hardware, you'll find various threads dedicated to it dotted about the forum, if you're looking to discuss options and opinions the networking and hardware forums are probably your best bet.
Does you site have anyone technical you can put these queries by? It really does make me sigh when I see thread like this, I really do think you should seek professional assistance / site survey to establish what you have and what you require to facilitate these requests.
We currently allow BYOD.
All on a separate hotspot which has no access to anything else across our system, even some of the smarter Students have tried (especially those really clued up).
They still need an account to access our internet though which is filtered. Pretty much covered site wide for wireless APs and everything is configured by our network guy who does know his stuff.
If it helps there is a whole 'Technical forum' thread on Wireless technology - you might find that to be a helpful place to start?
If you want to separate the Guest network from your main network traffic, then you start getting into more technicial territory with setting up Virtual LAN's (vLans) on your network switches and having the Guest network on a different vLan ID. How expensive this is depends on your current infrastructure.

I tried Photogenic at a friend's house and loved it. I tried it the next day thinking it was just a fluke, foundations never please me. This is Bisque mixed with Ivoire (I will get matched when I buy this for myself!) and the tone was near perfect. I set it with a little silica powder and then a light dusting of Dual Finish in Matte Bisque -something number. It was perfect and I have had it on for the second day for 2 hours now...admittedly not long but yesterdays's application without any primer or powder lasted in PA heat and humidity until I took it off late at night. Wow. Don't like the pump as it will inevitably waste product and it is really pricey for me, but I am going to buy my own perfect shade. NB: I used Lancome blush in Miel Glace with it and the shades are perfect for my NC20-25 dry, older (48) skin with some slight discolorations. This covered perfeclty and looked like skin. My skin is unlined and I stay out of the sun, so the SPF 15 while great isn't top priority for me as I use sunscreen daily anyway. I heartily recommend this for older skins in need of some dewiness, medium to full coverage, although my friend sheers it out really well with a damp sponge. It feels like it's doing calming, moisturizing things for the skin and covers so lightly it feels like almost nothing. Did not oxidize, a problem for me with other foundations. Was using Colorstay liquid in Nude, which is still very good, but can look maskllike. I'll save that for really hot and stressful days! Right now I'm going out to buy Photogenic Luminessence in my perfect shade! 4 out of 5 lipples because of packaging.

I use this foundation for almost a year. It offers a medium coverage and after applying powder foundation (clinique) it looks perfect. beige diaphane 3 looks very good and fits perfect on my tan-olive skin. It also photographs well. The problem is that after 2-3- hours i need to apply powder over my t zone in order to control the oiliness and have a shine-free t zone.. This foundation is appropriate for dry skins. This is the only reason i wont buy this product again.

My favorite foundation of all time :) It glides on my face so beautifully and the light to medium buildable coverage doesn't make my face look like I'm wearing makeup. It enhances my skin and makes it feel so velvety smooth even after I have washed it off. I would highly recommend this to anyone that has really dry skin or normal and sensitive skin. It does have a dewy finish so oily skin people should steer away from it unless you don't mind blotting a couple times a day.
This foundation has Diazolidinyl Urea in it. This ingredient is formaldehyde. This means you are literally putting formaldehyde in your skin when you wear this foundation. I will not touch this stuff!
More reviews by 2012makeuplover
This product looks great when u first put on. It doesn't stay after couple hours. If u have combination skin like me, this is just not the right product for us, especially during summer time. It made my pores around nose area looks bigger after couple weeks of usage. This product is for dry skin IMO
While thus foundation is beautiful, it does not stay that way after 1 hour of wear. After an hour it looks greasy, splotchy, and just wears horribly.

This is my second Lancome foundation that I've tried. The first one was the Teint Miracle, which I love as well. I decided to try this one, because my Teint Miracle was a little too dark, more of a summer shade, and I just wanted to try something new. I can't tell which formula I love more...they're both amazing! This foundation says it's for dry to normal skin. I have combination oily skin, and this works well! I do have to blot once during the day, but that's nothing. It gives a nice flawless finish, and does look well in pictures!
I was running out of my foundation and though that I would try something new. I went to my local department store to get color matched and went home with a sample. Im fair and its hard to find foundations that dont look orange or yellow on me. Honestly this is one of the best color matches Ive found so far! Im in shade Ivoire 02. At first I didnt like this foundation much at all. It didnt look like it wanted to blend into my skin. But I found that if I just let it sit for a bit it looked beautiful with a natural finish. After using the sample for a week, in all weather conditions and situations, Ive decided to give it a 3. For about 2 hours it looks beautiful once settled into your skin and the color match is amazing for me. It just didnt last on my combination skin. By the end the day my T zone was shiny and the foundation just kind of wore off. This is with a primer and setting it with a light powder. I wanted to love it!! I still use the sample right now because I love the color but it just isnt for me.
This foundation is lovely if you are looking for a light-medium coverage, and a dewy, natural finish. For me, this is a great every-day foundation. It never looks too powdery or matte, just looks like great skin. I also have a hard time finding a color match for my naturally tan Hispanic skin, and Bisque 6W is just perfect. (See my pic if you want to see my level of brownness :) In cooler weather, this works fine alone, but warmer weather, you might want to use a primer like MAC Prep+Prime or Smashbox Primer to keep it from melting off. The pump design is also very hygienic. I will definitely buy this one again.

I kinda love this foundation. It feels light and lovely... the only thing I don't like is that I feel as if it doesn't last quite long enough... but sometimes I just dot a small amount of some other foundation over it. I've bought this foundation 3 times now and I will continue to do so, because it feels so nice on the skin. Also it definitely doesn't look cakey and doesn't make my skin look even drier. Summer is coming up and this is the foundation I know I'll want to wear. It makes me feel fresh... I think the bottle is lovely and there's no parfumey smell.
