Pica Chief Resigns
July 19, 1994
by Dave Davies, Daily News Staff Writer
Ronald G. Henry, executive director of the state board overseeing Philadelphia's finances, has resigned effective early next month. The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority was established by the state Legislature in 1991 in response to Philadelphia's financial crisis. It issues bonds on the city's behalf and regularly monitors its finances. "It's been three years, and I've largely accomplished what I set out to do," Henry said yesterday, "to help PICA get organized, to help the city get through its financial crisis, and set up a structure to promote fundamental institutional change.
'PICA': Judgment Day'
July 25, 2011
SOMEONE alert the academy! It's Our Money is making a summer blockbuster movie. It's called "PICA 2011: Judgment Day. " Here's our tagline: In a world of many fiscal dangers, one city budget fights to survive. The plot? Tomorrow, the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority, also known as PICA, will vote on whether to approve the city's five-year plan. PICA's job is to make sure the city has enough money to cover the spending it projects over the next five years.
Pica Has Queries On Plan
March 12, 1992
by Paul Maryniak, Daily News Staff Writer
Memo from the state fiscal oversight board to Mayor Rendell: Get out your pencils and calculator and do some more homework on your five- year plan. The response of the mayor and his financial advisers to the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority's first evaluation of his plan to make the city solvent? No problem. "I accept their assessment; they have legitimate questions," Rendell said. Those questions - contained in a five-page memo released by PICA yesterday - cover matters like the $400 million the administration wants PICA to borrow on the city's behalf and how the city will use some of it. The authority also wondered what calculations the city used to forecast its revenue and proposed labor and management savings over the next five years.
PICA chairman steps down
January 19, 2011
By Jeff Shields, Inquirer Staff Writer
James Eisenhower, Gov. Ed Rendell's appointee as chairman of the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority, stepped down Tuesday as Gov. Corbett was sworn in. PICA is the state-appointed board that oversees Philadelphia finances. It was created in the early 1990s during the city's fiscal crisis, and requires each mayor to submit a five-year budget plan for approval by the board. In his final meeting, Eisenhower said he was optimistic about the prospects for a comprehensive study of the city's firefighting needs - meaning the Nutter administration and the city firefighters union may be able to agree on its parameters.
Pica Picketed By Union
September 16, 1992
by Kathy Sheehan, Daily News Staff Writer
District Council 47 president Thomas Paine Cronin was briefly detained by city police yesterday after a lunchtime demonstration against the state panel overseeing the city's finances. Cronin and his union of white-collar city workers were protesting comments made last week by members of the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority. While dozens of picketers protested outside of PICA's offices on Walnut Street near Broad, Cronin and five other union members occupied the agency's suite of offices and refused to leave until board members apologized for the remarks.
Pica Questions Budget Figures
November 21, 1996
by Dave Davies, Daily News Staff Writer
So you think the city budget is balanced? Not so fast, says the state agency overseeing city finances. In a report yesterday, the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority said it would be "incorrect and dangerous" to believe that the city's "revenue structure is sufficient to maintain city services. " That despite the city's audited statement for the most recent fiscal year showing a $118 million surplus. PICA warned that when adjusted for inflation, the city's tax base has been shrinking since 1988, and that "budgetary balance at present expenditure levels cannot be maintained in a declining economy.
No Fond Farewell For Pica
December 12, 1991
by Paul Maryniak, Daily News Staff Writer
Empty pleasantries and a fond farewell were all the board overseeing city finances expected yesterday when it asked City Finance Director David Brenner to say a few words. Instead, Brenner delivered a bitter tongue lashing that left members of the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority speechless - until one of them bit back. "I have not enjoyed the experience," Brenner told the board at the last meeting he'll attend as an ex-officio, non-voting member. "From day one, you exhibited a lack of trust in me or anyone connected with the city.
Pica Report Tomorrow
December 8, 1992
by Paul Maryniak, Daily News Staff Writer
The state agency overseeing city finances is scheduled to give city officials their first report card tomorrow, and the grade apparently will be much better than the agency's staff originally planned. After protests by the Rendell administration, the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority is toning down a caustic draft report that blistered city officials' progress in making the city fiscally solvent. The draft of the PICA analysts' report - obtained by the Daily News - shows that the authority's staff wanted to give an "F" to the administration for its efforts to cut costs and improve worker productivity to balance the city's budget.
PICA responds to editorial on budget
June 29, 2009
I WANT TO correct a few inaccuracies in your June 23 editorial ("We Want the Bad News, Too"). Foremost is your assertion that "PICA ruled that the city didn't need to submit [Plan B], too. " In fact, as reported in your own paper, the board requested that the mayor submit a five-year plan for PICA's review by June 22. As in every year since 1992, PICA did not dictate what the city should submit, save that it be a plan the city believes meets the statutory requirement of a five-year balanced budget using reasonable assumptions.
Pica To Panel: Move It!
February 10, 1993
by Paul Maryniak, Daily News Staff Writer
A multimillion-dollar cloud hangs over the city's budget and it's making the special state agency overseeing city finances impatient. Members of the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority think an arbitration panel is taking all too long to decide on a new contract for city police. The firefighters' panel has suspended proceedings pending a decision on a police contact. "The silence is deafening," said PICA member John Egan, noting how no final budget can be decided until the city knows how much it will have to spend on police and fire protection.

PICA approves city financial plan, with reservations
October 16, 2014
By Claudia Vargas, Inquirer Staff Writer
The board that oversees Philadelphia's finances approved the latest version of the city's five-year plan Tuesday, while cautioning that the city should tighten its belt instead of slowing down wage-tax cuts. The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA) approved the amended plan unanimously. The fiscal road map, initially approved in July, had to be readjusted to reflect a $133 million contract settlement with the city's largest union, AFSCME District Council 33, and a recent $97.5 million Fraternal Order of Police arbitration award.
DC33 members overwhelmingly approve labor pact with city
September 11, 2014
By Claudia Vargas, Inquirer Staff Writer
Philadelphia's largest municipal union has agreed to a new contract that will give its 9,000 members immediate raises yet force them to pay a pinch more toward the city's underfunded pension system. A count Tuesday showed AFSCME District Council 33's rank-and-file overwhelmingly support the new pact - which is retroactive to July 1, 2009, and goes through June 30, 2016 - on a 4,492 to 213 vote. In addition to immediate 3.5 percent raises, DC33's blue-collar members will receive a $2,800 bonus within 30 days of ratification, and 2.5 percent bump in their paychecks in July.
PICA approves Nutter's 5-year plan
July 22, 2014
BY SEAN COLLINS WALSH, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-4172
THE CITY'S financial-oversight board yesterday approved Mayor Nutter's five-year plan in a 5-0 vote. The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority, which is made up of four appointees from the state General Assembly and one from the governor, voted unanimously to approve the plan, which it must pass for the city to continue receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in state aid. The board last year expressed concern about dangerously low...
PICA endorses sale of PGW
May 22, 2014
By Claudia Vargas, Inquirer Staff Writer
The state board that oversees the city's finances on Tuesday gave its stamp of approval on the pending sale of the Philadelphia Gas Works in a $1.9 billion deal with UIL Holdings Inc. Mayor Nutter wants to sell the 176-year-old utility to use the proceeds to reduce the city's underfunded pension obligations. The deal, which must still be approved by City Council and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, is opposed by the gas workers' union, low-income advocates, and opponents of private ownership, all of whom have been putting pressure on Council to say no. At Tuesday's meeting of the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA)
PICA gives a soft 'OK' to mayor's 5-year plan
March 20, 2014
BY JENNY DeHUFF, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-5218
THE CITY'S FISCAL overseer gave a preliminary nod to Mayor Nutter's five-year financial and strategic plan yesterday, while suggesting it needs more time to comb through the fine print. The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority's executive director, Harvey Rice, said that the mayor's plan looks OK with the "reasonable assumptions" in revenues anticipated through 2019. PICA officials said higher overall projected tax revenues are indicative of a brighter financial outlook for the coming years, although uncertainty remains over the unresolved contract agreement with one of the city's biggest labor unions.
Tears for a Philly comedian
March 18, 2014
ONE OF THE wonderful things about living your whole life in the same place (and in my case, 45 years in the same house) is the ability to mourn people you've never met. Those who move away from the old neighborhood - whether that be a four-block square or an entire ZIP code - clearly have memories and even make periodic returns like the Capistrano swallows. But the ones who stayed behind have a special gift for appreciating native things. In some ways, that's counterintuitive.
Katz quits PICA, maybe to open mayoral bid?
February 21, 2014
By Bob Warner, Inquirer Staff Writer
PHILADELPHIA When the legislature created a financial oversight board in 1991 to help Philadelphia through a budget crisis, some lawmakers fretted about the agency's becoming a springboard to elected office. So they added a provision that members of the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA) could not seek public office within a year of service on the board. Twenty-three years later, that restriction has hit home. By resigning Wednesday as PICA chairman, Sam Katz, the three-time mayoral candidate now making documentaries on Philadelphia history, opened the door to a possible run for mayor next year.
Katz for Mayor 4.0?
February 21, 2014
BY SEAN COLLINS WALSH, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-4172
THREE-TIME mayoral candidate Sam Katz has stepped down as chairman of the state board that oversees city finances, fueling speculation that he may make a fourth go in the 2015 mayoral race. Katz yesterday sent his resignation letter to fellow Republican Gov. Corbett, who appointed Katz in 2011. Under state law, former PICA board members cannot run for office for one year after they step down. February 2015 would be the time to step up to the plate if Katz is to run for mayor.
Lawmaker says city tax surplus can afford a tax break
February 7, 2014
BY JENNY DeHUFF, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-5218
WITH $50 million in revenue designated for nothing in particular, the city can save Philly residents $100 million over 10 years with a tax-reform bill, Councilman David Oh believes. Oh, who introduced just such a bill yesterday, said his goal is to reduce wage and net-profit taxes on residents without raising taxes elsewhere to offset the reduction. He envisions the wage tax for employees and net-profit tax for individuals to go from 3.92 percent in 2014 to 2.09 percent in 2025.
PICA promises closer looks at pensions, taxes
January 4, 2014
By Troy Graham, Inquirer Staff Writer
The authority that oversees the city's finances plans to have a greater say in the coming years on Philadelphia's most vexing challenges. The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA) said in its annual report, released this week, that it would seek to publish a series of studies on issues such as the underfunded pension system and tax enforcement, and hold forums to publicize the findings. In the process, PICA would "broaden its oversight" to discussions of whether the city's financial planning is adequately addressing those concerns.

Gold was steady on Tuesday, consolidating near a one and a half month high, with investors holding onto the safe haven asset due to fears that the euro zone debt crisis might engulf Italy.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi faces a crucial vote on public finances later this session, with his government liable to sink after failing to adopt reforms aimed at defusing the debt crisis.
Spooking investors and helping gold, ten-year Italian bonds were yielding more than 6.7 percent earlier, closing in on the 7 percent level that prompted Ireland and Portugal to seek bailouts.
Spot gold edged down 0.09 percent to $1,793.19 an ounce by 1036 GMT, after soaring more than 2 percent in the previous session. U.S. gold GCcv1 edged up 0.23 percent to $1,795.20
"Gold is consolidating, nothing goes up in a straight line (though) it's all safe have driven, its all Berlusconi trading. You can't let Italy fail but it's too big to rescue," said Calyon analyst Robin Bhar.
He added the outlook for gold is positive: "We see positioning on the long side on Comex, ETF (exchange traded fund) inflows are coming in every day, physical buying out of India, China retail buying etc."
Technical analysis suggested spot gold could target the $1,823 to $1,829 range during the day, said Reuters market analyst Wang Tao.
Spot gold prices have rallied nearly 5 percent so far this month, as mounting doubts over the euro zone's ability to tackle its two-year-old debt crisis drove investors to safe-haven assets, and decoupled gold from other commodities which it had followed through much of the past two months.
Underlining investor interest in gold, the world's biggest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, SPDR Gold Trust, said its holdings rose 0.85 percent from the previous session to 1,255.66 tonnes by Nov. 7, the highest in more than two months.
"For the moment the market is worried there is still further liquidation to come, but we believe that is going to come to an end," said Michael Jansen, commodities analyst with JPMorgan.
"There has been a very observable transfer of gold ounces in terms of investment capital from hedge funds, wholesale funds, bullion banks, towards the retail community, and that has put a floor in the price."
Jansen forecast an average $1,869 for gold prices in 2012.
In Asia, the physical market was muted, with investors in Singapore reluctant to sell and market players in India shying away from buying the precious metal at current elevated levels.
"The sellers are not eager to cash out before prices hit $1,800," said a Singapore-based dealer, "People are basically watching what is going to happen in Europe."
In other precious metals traded, silver was down 0.29 percent at $34.76 and ounce, platinum rose 0.07 percent to $1,656.74, while palladium gained 1.82 percent to $670.50.
"Silver is still expensive relative to its price history," said UBS analyst Edel Tully.
"There have been indications of intentions not only to reduce, but eliminate the use of silver in some industrial applications. This may have considerable negative implications on investor appetite." (Additional reporting by David Stanway in BEIJING; Editing by Anthony Barker)

Question: I've been a fan of Elementary, and I really liked the story arc last season with Rhys Ifans playing Mycroft. His involvement with Watson, moving to New York, opening the restaurant, concealing from everyone that he was MI6: The whole season seemed to give a fresh twist to the Sherlock history and move it forward. This season, however, with Kitty (Ophelia Lovibond), I'm not getting what the writers are doing. I think she's beyond boring, probably because she has no real reason to be there, and she's splintering the energy I used to feel between Sherlock and Watson, and each of them to Bell and Gregson. None of the episodes this year has grabbed me. Is it just me? Do they have a story arc buried in there someplace I can't see? I'd rather they go back to a crime-of-the-week if they can't do better than this. I love your column, by the way! I can't believe how long it took me to find it, but now I never miss it. — Kay

Santa Claus is coming to town in this year's Doctor Who Christmas special.
To know Olive Kitteridge is not easy. Many would likely argue it's not worth the risk of being exposed to her harsh, judgmental New Englander's scorn. Suffer fools gladly? Not this curmudgeonly math teacher who, when her husband insists she's not depressed, snaps back, "Yes, I am. Happy to have it. Comes with being smart." Prompting her long-suffering son to wonder, "Is that why you're so mean all the time?"And yet, in HBO's oddly moving and melancholy-shrouded two-night adaptation of Elizabeth Strout's Pulitzer-winning novel Olive Kitteridge (Sunday-Monday, 9/8c), a remarkable Frances McDormand makes Olive a fascinating, tragicomic study in human stubbornness, contrariness and contradiction....

Our top moments of the week:
11. Best Explanation: Remember when Gwen Stefani Adele Dazeem-ed Stephen Colbert's name at the Emmys? According to Adam Levine, Stefani was super-nervous backstage, even after he offered a helpful mnemonic device. "We're going up there, and the whole time she's like, 'I can't pronounce Colbert. I can't pronounce it,'" Levine says on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. "I was like, 'If he wins, think: cold bear.'" Of course, Stefani went with...

13. Best Response: In case you were living under a rock, or, you know, watching something else on TV Monday night, Gwen Stefani took a page from John Travolta's book and totally mispronounced Stephen Colbert's last name when she presented at the Emmys. Even though Colbert had already pre-taped his Tuesday show last week, the host still gets in a small jab at the much-discussed gaffe in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it opening credits, in which "Colbore" comes across the screen next to other descriptive words like "honorable," "star-spangled" and...

Putin's Russia: What I saw as an election observer
A volunteer election observer for Russia's presidential election, which Putin won, shares her insights on ballot-stuffing, absentee ballots, and civic-minded citizens.
Alexei Druzhinin/Government Press Service/RIA Novosti/AP
Nizhneye Myachkovo, Russia
Moscow-based journalist Anna Arutunyan was a volunteer election observer for Russia's March 4 presidential election. This is her account of the events at a polling station in the town of Nizhneye Myachkovo.
It was past midnight on election night in a snow-covered village polling station 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) southeast of Moscow, and five local officials were trying to ignore the protests of five election observers as the officials tallied up the ballots for Russia's paramount leader of 12 years, Vladimir Putin.
The complaint was minor: The officials weren't letting the observers see each ballot they counted. But combined with the other violations noticed at this polling station, the process left observers with a sense that the very legitimacy of the vote had been compromised.
Anton Dugin, a tall, young local official who was in charge of the polling station, called for a vote among the poll workers: Should they change the way they were counting the ballots at the observers' insistence they follow the law?
"We will work just as we have worked in the past," election official Yelena Kiselyova replied, and resumed counting. She has worked in polling stations for 20 years, and in the past, before observers got in the way, people voted "correctly," she said over tea hours later.
Observers had repeatedly demanded to see the lists of registered voters to ensure that the number of ballots handed out did not exceed the number of people who came to vote. But after the observers exposed at least one incident of ballot stuffing, Dugin was done cooperating with them – even though federal law stipulates that he had to show observers how the lists were tallied up.

Recent media attention has increased interest in behavioral, mental health, and academic correlates of involvement in bullying. Yet, there has not been much interest in investigating the co-occurrence of other health-risk behaviors, such as gang membership, weapon carrying, and substance use. The potential influence of contextual factors, such as youth ethnicity, urbanicity, and school characteristics, also has been overlooked in previous research. The current study examined different subtypes of involvement in bullying—as primarily a victim, as primarily a bully, as both a victim and bully, and no involvement—and the association with significant health-risk behaviors, including engaging in violence and substance use, as well as academic problems. The analyses use self-report data from 16,302 adolescents (50.3 % female, 62.2 % Caucasian, 37.8 % African American) enrolled in 52 high schools. A series of three-level HLM analyses revealed that bullies and bully/victims were generally at greatest of risk of being involved in violence, engaging in multiple types of substance use, and having academic problems. These findings extend prior research by emphasizing a potential link between involvement in bullying and multiple health-risk behaviors, particularly among urban and African American high school youth.

3.5 x 2.3 x 1.8 cm. Cronstedtite is a rare iron silicate of the serpentine group. This very rich and showy little specimen is festooned with lustrous, black, trigonal crystals to 3 mm on a 3-dimensional crust of matrix. It is a rare occurrence to have such a rich coverage of cronstedtite, and this specimen displays very well. This is a classic rarity from the famous Herja Mine of Romania.

as you get a second link for download from anyone at Autodesk ask that person if he can try the unpackaging? I think it's needed for you to verify if it's the sourcefile or your download.
When the source-file at Autodesk is OK you have to get the file downloaded from another workstation/using another internet-provider.
If you send me the link (and no login-data) I also can try if I get it downloaded with or without CRC-error.
Good luck, - alfred -
ok, I got your links via PM and downloaded them (I think that are the default links for downloading it as trial-version).
I copied the downloaded files into a folder C:\TEMP on a fresh Win7x64SP1 virtual machine and started the EXE with right-click and option "start as administrator".
All went fine, all installed, AutoCAD was startable without any issue.
I recorded the full session as video, if you like to see it (the file has some MB), I upload it anywhere.
So the result is: you need a clean Win7 installation,
One thought, just to make sure: if you download the files multiple times you get different filenames like filex(1).exe and file(2).exe .... so if you did a new download without deleting the files downloaded previously the unpackager may unpack the wrong file (and so you can download and download and download, it's always the same "first file" that may be used for installation).
Sorry not to have a final solution, - alfred -
ok download and extraction went fine, now getting this on installation;
2012/12/28:12:16:22 James JAMES-PC Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86): C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Design_Suite_Standard_2012_En
2012/12/28:12:16:25 James JAMES-PC Install Microso
do you really have enough rights to install?
When I read this message:
Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603
... I would try to do the installation of VCREDIST/start this exe directly and see what happens:
... or I would look into the log file that is reported to be saved here:
- alfred -
I get this trying to install direct as an administrator
and this
2012/12/28:13:10:19 James JAMES-PC Installing Autodesk® Material Library 2012: ADSK_EULA_STATUS=#1 ADSK_SOURCE_ROOT="C:\Autodesk\Autodesk_Design_Suit
2012/12/28:13:10:59 James JAMES-PC Install Autode
then remove the newer installation of VCREDIST (within Windows control panel ==> software) and start the installation of AutoCAD again.

>> the video would be great

yes big thank you to guys and girls at task it unfortunantley i couldn't make it yesterday but sounds like good time was had by all...
Well, what can I say ....
A big thank you to Geoff and team for laying on a day full of information, and free of charge too.
It was good to see so many in attendance to the point of running out of chairs. People came some distance too, from Ipswich and Nottingham and even as far as Warrington (thank you to John Wordsworth from the SSAT who came down on a day off so that he can report back on the day ... and I think I can say he was as hooked on a lot of it as we were.)
I am starting this thread for those who attended to leave their thoughts of the day, anything they found particularily handy, anything they would have preferred to see or done.
If anyone want to put a message in anonymously you can PM me and I will enter it into the thread.
Stephen (aka Spot) has written up some notes and they will appear tomorrow, including several links to software for people to look at.

An excellent day indeed. Can I just echo Tony and Russ's thanks to all involved in setting up such an informative and inspiring day.
I found Task-IT to be extremely welcoming and professional, and was particularly impressed with their approach. I have been to similar events where the aim of those running it was clearly to sell something, but Task-IT had no element of that. They simply wanted to show what was possible, inform us all and let us make our own decisions. I didn't feel at any point that I was on the receiving end of a sales pitch and that was refreshing.
Once again a big thank you to all involved and I look forward to similar events in the future. (Bit closer to the South Coast would be nice if possible at some point !!!)
It was a good day and well worth the journey. Plenty of food for thought and the tummy. Could do with more of the same.
We are currently working provding some more so watch this spaceOriginally Posted by yeoman
Ok ... here are abridge notes from the day by Stephen ...
[align=center]Learning Network Manager[/align]
⢠Flow chart available from support pages of the Task-IT web site, http://www.task-it.co.uk
⢠LNM is a set of tools that genuinely sit on top of native Windows 2003 Server. It does not make changes to any system files. However, it does create GPOsâ and changes security permissions such that an existing domain may not work as expected (or at all!)
⢠The primary purpose of LNM is to ease the installation and management of Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP Desktop. It allows relatively non-technical staff to manage the day to day running of a network e.g. adding and managing users, deploying workstation images etc.
⢠ITWorx originally created the LNM software for Microsoft. The case study for the project is available at: http://www.itworx.com/Showcase/Case+...opment_LNM.htm
⢠LNM has default installation scripts that must be modified before use â it is essential that should you wish to use the product it is trialled in a test environment first!
⢠It is possible to create a set up DVD that contains the LNM information, Windows 2003 SP1 set up files and Windows XP SP2 set up files.
⢠The default scripts set the C drive partition to 10GB and any other space on the primary hard disk is formatted as D, but this can be changed
⢠The preferred set up is the first option below, but LNM can be used to either set up
o a completely new internal domain
o integrate into an existing internal domain
o integrate into a LEA (or similar) forest
⢠If using IP addresses other than the defaults, you must use âleading zerosâ, i.e.
o 172.016.001.001 not 172.16.1.1
⢠To set up LNM you must have volume licence keys and set up disks for Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Windows XP SP2, not previous versions
⢠If you do choose to set up into an existing domain, you must run DCPROMO manually after set up has finished to make the server a domain controller. Be extremely cautious about setting up into an existing domain
⢠Managing LNM is achieved through a web based interface
⢠LNM uses Remote Installation Services (RIS) to distribute workstation images. RIS has some advantages over other distribution software in that it does not duplicate files that already have already be uploaded â this can obviously lead to a dramatic decrease in the space required for images
⢠LNM includes the ability to PXE boot either to perform a remote install or to boot the PC as a thin client â LNM installs Terminal Services that can be used with the requisite licensing
[align=center]Sharepoint Services[/align]
⢠Allows the creation of intranet sites that, once the initial design as been completed, can be easily updated by relatively non-technical staff using Internet Explorer (6.5 / 7) and without requiring knowledge of website design
⢠The requirements for SharePoint Services are:
o Windows 2003 Server
o ASP.net
o IIS6 â Common Files, SMTP and WWW components need to be installed
o A version of SQL Server 2000 or 2005. The SQL Server 2000 MSDE / WDSE versions have a limit of 5 concurrent connections. SQL Server 2005 Express has a 150 concurrent connections limit and 4GB database size.
⢠Backing up and restoring can be a major issue, especially of a large number of resources are saved in the database. Although several backup applications will backup a SQL Server database, most can only restore the entire database, not an individual record. Veritas NetBackup 6 does allow you to do this
⢠SharePoint services can invoke an anti virus scan once a document is uploaded (so as not to affect upload speed)
Microsoft Learning Gateway
£20000 approx?
Alternatives; Moodle, FirstClass
Basis of many commercial offerings (EMPC) - hosted services ie off-site, likely to include all data potentially
⢠Windows Server 2003
⢠SQL Server 2005 (all user data instead of using folders) need to know what it does, works, sizing etc. AuditISX, InventoryISX (freebie) - play with in Express edition to play with - can pull into web pages
⢠.net Application Framework 1.1
⢠Windows Share Point Services - for individual sites for individual users need to move to share point portal server
⢠ISA Server 2004 to allow access from external sources (includes full reverse proxy, single sign on)
⢠Class Server 4.0 - extension to SharePoint to allow teachers to prepare and assign work for students - automates much of the assignment process - optional component
⢠Exchange Server 2003 - optional again - but useful - eg willget calendar information from all sources - ie personal, group, assignments etc - Public folders will be dropped and put into SharePoint services in the next version
⢠Custom Components
⢠Live Communication Server - comms and messaging platform that interconnects services - contains Messenger - but this is configurable to allow, for example, students to only allow comms with teachers. Can configure LCS to display green/red 'man' when user(s) are online
⢠Potentially very expensive to allow external access
⢠Get an online sharepoint trial from Microsoft (30 day trial)
[align=center]Network Management - Using SNMP[/align]
Six key points in looking at managing your network infrstructure and what goes on with it.
Step 1 - Visualise the network - machines and cabling - useful to know what is up / down - document all the switch and cab information!
Step 2 - Alerting mechanism - you can only use managed equipment for finding this information - major events, eg disk space being low - can configure SNMP trigger to e-mail
⢠Could run SNMP on VLAN or different IP range (security issue) especially when using SNMP on the servers (be careful on sending text messages! for alerts .. you could end up with hundreds!)
Step 3 - ability to use data to collect historics information (baselining) to compare usage reports, trends - set up for WAPs! Monitor bandwidth, disk space, usage of resources at particular times - QCA Tests!
Step 4 - set up threshold monitoring - being alerted when bandwidth is tight
Step 5 - real time graphing - SolarWinds Enhanced Ping, Network Monitor
Step 6 - stay alert! Keep an eye on what's going on - act on the messages/reports generated
⢠Advent OpManager better graphing tools/history - www.opmanager.com approx £400 - wireless manager too
⢠SolarWinds Engineers Edition (£800 approx) - IP Network Browser
⢠SolarWinds more real time analysis
⢠Nagios (?) free monitoring thing
More information can be found on the Task IT website in the support section ...
If anyone wants to add to these, again feel free to contact me.
"Microsoft Learning Gateway
£20000 approx?"
is that a mis-type, or the correct price?
Thats about right but its comparable to similar commercial VLEs in terms of cost. Most of the others we've looked at have been £8k-10k p/a. At least with MS its a one off cost.
Yep ... that's about the right price ...
After you have taken into account all the bits shown here you can see why.
It is a big and powerful beastie ... taking in everything from content management, various methods of communication (usenet, email, forums, IM), document management, learning objects of a variety of formats, not to mention the scope for assessment for learning ...
But it takes a chunk of time and effort to set up ... and ideally needs to be tailored for your school. That is why M$ recommend you use a partner ... or at least someone with the know-how at your school gets training on it from an M$ partner (and at ths point both M$ and their partners politely tell the teachers to step to one side and let the geeks at it!).
It is a single fee that, when you look at the TCO, you could consider to spread over the life of the system ... say 4 years before the next major build.
But ... the session last week was also there to explain the difference between sharepoint services and Sharepoint Portal / Learning Gateway ... and advising us all to relish in the fact that sharepoint services is free!
@Grumbledook: If you already have ISA, Exchange, SQL or any of the other components I would assume that the price would begin to drop significantly. Is this correct?
Yep .. that is the case ... the £20k is a total sum for everything ... not as a single "buy this product as a job lot" price ....
You buy the components and stick it all together ... and persuade your software reseller to give you a discount for buying it all ... or you pay a company to bring the kit in with everything on ...
From talking with a few different partners now (sorry Geoff ... I have been unfaithful) it seems that some view having bits already in place as a good thing as it can help give structure to what you want to do ... others seem to view it as a hinderance as you may be set in your ways and not use all the functionality.
Personally I am going to stick to Exchange and Sharepoint Services for the time being ... a little bit at a time ... and also wait to hear back about the direction that Learning Platforms are going too.
@GrumbleDook: Does that mean that you would not necessarily need all the components - e.g. if you didn't want instant messaging you could leave out Live Communications Server?
Yep ... exactly that ...
