Mop-up of the day – video killed the internet star
Anyone know how to stop Cricinfo videos from automatically playing?
In our line of work, we read an awful lot of cricket stories. This sometimes involves opening tens of tabs at a time and we then have to play 'hunt the video' when we hear that one or more has started playing automatically. More often than not, a Cricinfo page is the guilty party.
We hate this burgeoning love of video. To be clear, we enjoy the same YouTube rubbish as everyone else and we like video being used correctly where something is added. What we hate – and we mean truly, truly loathe – is the video-instead-of-an-article video where it's just someone talking to camera.
Videos take too long. You can't scan them and see what lies ahead. You just have to sit there like a bleeding numbnuts patiently enduring something that may or may not prove to be of interest with no knowledge of what might turn up 12 minutes in. Yeah, you can fast forward, but then you still have to sit and watch for a few seconds to work out what's going on. We don't have a few seconds to spare when there's a whole internet of information accessible to us.
On each of Cricinfo's videos there is an option to switch autoplay off and then if you click the little sprocket to the right, a 'save' option appears. For us at least, this appears to do nothing. As soon as we reload the page – or any other featuring a video – it starts to play.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
Also at Cricinfo
And just to underline the fact that we've just slagged off one of our employers, our latest piece has just gone up on Page 2. It's about county cricket monopolising the back pages and smothering other sports.
KP Confidentiel – les secrets de Kevin Pietersen
Kevin Pietersen's book is out next week. If you know anything about cycling, you'll be struck that the book has been written by David Walsh, the journalist who hounded Lance Armstrong for so many years.
Walsh is a pretty driven individual himself and some of his interviewees have said they felt that he exploited them to pursue his own agenda. That approach shouldn't really be relevant in this instance, but it's worth noting that this is the man KP has in his corner.24 Appeals
County Championship second division in 2014 – all you need to know
Jesse Ryder took 44 wickets at 18.09 for Essex. To put that in context, Ryder has taken 99 first-class wickets in his entire career.
This season, he took four five-fors and had one ten-wicket match. These were added to the no five-fors he'd previously taken to give him a career tally of four five-fors and one ten-wicket match.9 Appeals
Sunil Narine taken out to the Pine Barrens
Do you get the feeling that there are a number of dead men walking at the minute? It's like one mob family has ordered a series of hits on a rival family and now capos and crew members are being picked off as they go about their daily business.
Sunil Narine is the latest to be visited by Paulie Walnuts, but he's only been wounded, not killed. He's been reported for his action when bowling his quicker ball, but unlike Saeed Ajmal, he's not been suspended.
An uber-cynical prediction would involve him playing the rest of the Champions League for his IPL side before somehow being banned ahead of the World Cup.6 Appeals
Sam's wedding cricket match report
Sam writes:
They say organising a wedding is one of the most stressful things in life. Whoever they are, they have obviously never tried to stage a cricket match the following day.
Having completed the marital formalities and danced Saturday night into Sunday morning, friends and family gathered at my village club for a cobbled-together 15-over thrash. Fiercely competitive as ever, bride and groom acted as captains.
At 2pm we had about 18 players between us, some willing and some cajoled, of all ages from 7 to 82. There were four 'proper' cricketers who we hoped might hold things together if it all threatened to go a bit Wirrall CC.
Following a refreshments emergency – in the flurry of confetti and champagne the clotted cream had been left in the marital fridge – my wife won the toss and chose to bowl. I sent best man Oliver in to open with wicketkeeper Martin, as they were our only two batsmen of note. I could tell because they both had full kitbags. They even had helmets – not strictly necessary given the plastic ball.
Such was the inexperience of most other players, we agreed that the umpires would turn a blind eye to wides and no-balls. A good thing too – if strict league rules had been enforced we might still be out there now. Despite the bowlers exploring what was later generously described as "an unplayable line", we made a good start before Ollie was stumped, fishing for one which rolled down the corridor of uncertainty on the adjoining strip.
Young Billy went in at three. Billy never said a word to me all day, but did everything I asked of him without complaining. Think Jimmy Anderson in an oversized helmet and without the sulky attitude. The young man's unerring commitment to the cause was soon to prove his undoing.
Fancying a bit of a hit myself, I took the captain's prerogative and called Martin in on 39. Personal milestones have no place when victory is as stake, as my hero Michael Atherton will tell you. Graeme Hick might disagree.
I managed to connect with a few agricultural hoiks, wary of my double-jointed brother's spitting cobras and careful to keep my back foot planted with my dad ready to pounce behind the stumps. Keeping the family tradition alive, Billy drove a ball straight back to his mum Alice. Keen to get the strike, I yelled 'yes!', quickly followed by 'no!' and a lunge back to safety. But Billy had dutifully set off on the first call and we were now face to face. The perplexed lad was told he had to go, done up like a kipper by his skipper. Memories of Strauss v Hussain at Lord's flooded back. Maybe it will be the making of the kid.
The missing clotted cream had arrived and been correctly placed between jam and scones.
A more welcome sight was that of club stalwarts Zac and Tom strolling up for an afternoon net. I seized on them to bolster the line-ups for the second innings, a decision which would come back to haunt me.
Our ringers were no doubt perplexed by this motley crew of odd characters. My number five batsman Kate was dressed as a dog (I still don't know why), and several small children wandered around the square throughout, either putting themselves in funky field placings or trying to find their way back to the pavilion. Billy's little brother Joseph fielded for a few overs before stomping off with the words 'I don't even like cricket!' We all knew exactly how he felt.
Tom opened the run chase with my wife's uncle Kev, child-sized pads strapped to his hulking frame. He was soon trudging back, caught and bowled by Ollie. My dad, who played a good standard of club cricket once upon a time but now turns out just once a year, took the game away from us in a second-wicket stand with Tom.
Another family anecdote was forged as I bowled a rank long hop and dad pulled it hard straight to my octogenarian grandad at backward square leg. Luckily grandma had already left, but the thought of what she would say if he returned home with a nice round bruise on his bonce awoke his reflexes. He ducked and watched the missile race away for four.
I eventually got my old man, another short ball scooped to safe hands Zac on the boundary. My brother followed, caught close in, and suddenly we had a chance. I went on the attack, placing Ollie at slip. An edge went straight to him. He dropped it. I was fuming. Luckily the wedding had already happened, or I might have been looking for a new best man.
They say the first rule of marriage is learning how to lose. We had been man and wife for about 24 hours, but the post-match handshake and trophy presentation felt like a sign of things to come. I'm already plotting anniversary revenge.

Lancashire are still not quite relegated
Scan the homepage of this website and you could easily reach some incorrect conclusions. The post about Alastair Cook has attracted 50-odd comments, so presumably that's a hot topic, right? Not really. The vast majority are about Lancashire v Middlesex, a relegation dogfight (involving different breeds) which seems to be capturing the imagination.
Humans are prone to perceiving events as if they're stories and from that perspective the 110th over of Lancashire's first innings would seem to have been crucial to the narrative. With seven runs needed off it to preserve first division status for at least another day, the mighty Glen Chapple slogged a six and then wangled three more off the next ball.
It was the moment when the protagonist is down and almost out and the fact that our hero lived to fight another day surely means the story must now culminate in triumph. Except that's not really the case. Like one of those foreign language films about a goat herder that you record on the basis that it's supposed to be really good, but never actually watch because it also seems massively depressing, this final chapter of the 2014 season could just as easily end up describing a very slow demise.46 Appeals
Alastair Cook's sticking around for another brandy
"Oh, you're still here. I, er, thought everyone had gone home. Are you going to, er…? No, you're not. You're going to stick around for a bit longer, you say. You're going to stick around and have another brandy, even though everyone else has gone home and I was clearly just about to go to bed."
As we understand it, at least one of the selectors wanted shot of Alastair Cook as one-day captain, but Peter Moores didn't so they just sort of went with that.
Unlike everyone else who writes about cricket, we're not actually against this. We're not in favour either, but we don't really buy the argument that if England were bold and radical, they'd have a far better chance of winning the World Cup. As such, we think it's fine to stick with Cook because if England do somehow do okay, at least it'll be funny watching everyone backtrack.
We know you're supposed to be positive about and say 'at least if we gamble, we'll have a chance'. It's just that we don't really believe it. We've seen enough England World Cup campaigns to know that bright ideas six months out tend to result in a bunch of new players who bottle it in big games, having never actually played in one before.
At least Cook's used to everyone calling him an ineffectual bumcock and won't be taken aback by the hostility directed his way when his side collapses against New Zealand.60 Appeals
The tallest order
Lancashire started their must-win-by-a-mile match quite well, but James Harris and Ravi Patel secured a batting bonus point for Middlesex which means we now have a clearer idea of exactly what each team needs to do to survive.
Lancashire need to either score 350, or declare with fewer than eight wickets down for a score of over 300 thus denying Middlesex a bowling point. All Middlesex need to do is bowl at Lancashire until they're inevitably all out for under 300 because they can't bat.
In theory, Lancashire could also declare for a score of between 250 and 299 with fewer than five wickets down, but that would be picked up by the ECB's declaration monitor who has been dispatched to the ground for precisely this reason.
Genuinely. We're not making that up. You can't declare with the intention of denying the opposition bonus points, even if it might help you avoid relegation. Bonus points are mental.28 Appeals
Relegation's what you need
You know what we're doing with that headline, right? That's your theme for the week. Every time your mind idles, hopefully that'll be what rises to fill the void. You're welcome.
There's basically just one thing left to play for in the first division of the County Championship and that's 'being in the first division of the County Championship'. Lancashire and Middlesex are the two teams involved in this unseemly squabble and they're playing each other.
It's not a 'winner takes all' scenario though. The winner might still get relegated. Lancashire need to absolutely hammer Middlesex to stay up. Captain, coach and opening bowler, Glen Chapple, gave a sense of the likelihood of success with this rabble-rousing speech:
"It's a chance for us to escape, I suppose."
Lancashire's chances are further diminished by player availability. If James Anderson's absence is matched by Steven Finn's, they will also miss Tom Smith, their top wicket-taker and third-highest run-scorer. Usman Khawaja is also missing and if they've been able to draft in Junaid Khan to replace him then bowling isn't exactly the problem at Old Trafford.
We feel like we've been writing about Lancashire's batting for most of the season, but it's actually worse than that. Here's something we wrote in 2008, the last time Lancashire were relegated.
To sum up that piece: Paul Horton, Steven Croft and papering over the cracks with overseas players and imports. Now here are Lancashire's first-class centurions in 2014:
- Ashwell Prince – three
- Paul Horton – two
- Steven Croft – two
- Usman Khawaja – one
- Jos Buttler – one
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, as they say in Bolton.14 Appeals
Durham do the dishes and then take out the recycling
The final of the domestic 50-over competition is an odd thing. It took place yesterday, in late September – a fortnight after the semi-finals, three weeks after the quarter finals and a month after the main bit of the tournament. You can see why it works that way, but with the days shortening, it feels a bit like it fizzles out rather than building to a climax.
Durham won and for all the talk of modern scoring rates, it was another low-scoring affair. A party can't always be dancing and laughter. Sometimes, if it's your party, it's more about doing an awful lot of laborious housework. Or, if it's our party, it's an oud bruin and a high quality motion picture starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. (Has he ever starred in a substandard film? Not to our knowledge.) Not sure what our parties translate to in this analogy. Probably something Duckworth-Lewis affected.
Yesterday, Ben Stokes drew most of the headlines for taking a couple of wickets and making 38 not out, but it's been Paul Collingwood who's been the star of Durham's campaign. He finishes the competition among the top ten run-scorers and the top ten wicket-takers. He scored 427 runs at 53.37 at over a run-a-ball and took 14 wickets at 22.85 at less than four-an-over. We'll resist the temptation to write another 5,000 words on him, but suffice to say he's still underrated and always will be.10 Appeals
The worst first-class county cricket team
We rarely feel moved by events in the second division, but it's hard not to feel a twinge of excitement at the prospect of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire playing out a draw next season to extend their respective winless streaks.
We've reported on both of these clubs in our latest Shire Horse column for All Out Cricket – plus some other stuff.10 Appeals

I hate phone cases. When I bought my Nexus One back in March of 2010, the first thing I did with my very first smartphone was head over to Amazon and start searching for a cool and convenient way to protect it. So I bought some leather ordeal with a flip cover and all sorts of gimmickry, and I hated it. I used it for 2 days, and since then, it has occupied my box of unwanted electronics and related accessories.
The Keyboard App Shootout is back! In today's crosshairs: Swiftkey X.
Swiftkey's driving theory is that, with enough information about you, it can predict what you want to type. Seriously. They even use the phrase "mind-reading" on their website. How do they expect to get to "mind-reading" levels? Well, they basically want to scan everything you've ever written. Swiftkey can mine your text messages, Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, and even your blog's RRS feed for sweet, sweet data about your typing habits.
The same developers who brought the kitsch hit Farm Frenzy to Android have recently released what they're calling their best game ever: Musaic Box - a game that successfully combines the hidden object and puzzle genres, and adds some truly unique twists that make for a dynamic, interesting experience.
At A Glance
The very first thing I noticed about Musaic Box was the stunning visual style. The environments are clearly polished, with an astonishing level of detail, and almost everything you'd expect to be interactive actually is.
From developer DWP, DW Contacts & Phone & Dialer (hereafter referred to as DW Contacts) makes our fifth entry in the hunt for the best dialer, combining a slew of features into one versatile (if a little clumsy) interface.
At A Glance
The first thing I notice about most apps is their visual design. DW Contacts was no different in this regard, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. DW doesn't offer anything really new in the design department, except for the ability to change the colors, transparency, and font size of pretty much any element of the app.
When we first saw ShadowGun back in May, we were immediately struck by what was at the time a platform demonstration for NVIDIA's Kal-El quad mobile processor. Character textures were the best we'd seen on any Android game, and the environments looked rich and well-crafted.
Now the developer, MadFinger games, has given us (and a number of other sites - no one has the full version yet, and I mean no one) a pre-release version of the game to try out - optimized for Tegra 2 processors (a Kal-El optimized version will be released later).
When we first saw ASUS' Eee Pad Slider at CES, we very nearly dismissed it at once. It was thick, tablets with physical keyboards showed no sign of gaining popularity, and Honeycomb had yet to come out of the woodwork. Besides, ASUS' own cheaper, slimmer Transformer had already caught our hearts. Our confidence was not raised by the long period of silence that followed - in fact, the only Slider-related posts we've written since January are an unofficial hands-on by a Romanian blog and the announcement of the slate's pricing.
Modern smartphones and tablets are, without a doubt, multifunctional devices made to replace those that serve only a single purpose --gaming devices, mp3 players, and, in some cases, even laptops are all covered under the smartphone/tablet umbrella. As such, it's no surprise that I spend almost as much time playing games on my Tab 10.1 as I do other, more productive things.
However, one of my biggest complaints about gaming on a touch-only device is the controls.
Every once in a while, an app comes along that revolutionizes the Android experience in an unimaginable way. More often, though, we get apps that simply regurgitate the same thing we've seen a thousand times before but with a different colored title bar or some such minor adjustment. A happy medium between the two, however, is necessary to the advancement of the platform. Perhaps the most important type of app is one that provides the functionality that we've been using the whole time but solidly improves how it is done.
The days where penetration testers carry around laptops with them to test the security of networks seem to be numbered, with Zimperium's 'Anti' bringing a lot of those tools over from the PC to Android smartphones.
It's been a long time coming, but Anti is now available to download to your phone for free from the Zimperium website. For some strange reason, you will have to install 'AntiCredit' from the Android Market in order to actually use the application effectively by buying credits, meaning that you will have two apps which, essentially, perform the same function.
I already know what you're thinking: Are they really reviewing a stylus? Aren't all styluses (or styli, if you prefer) the same? Here's the short answer to the latter: No, they're not.
I have a few different styluses, and I can definitely confirm that using each of them is a different experience. Each one has a different feel, texture, and -- what really sets them apart from one another -- weight.

Amanda Bynes
Amanda Bynes has gone from being called a young Gilda Radner/Carol Burnett to a cautionary tale. The dentist's daughter started taking comedy classes at 7. At 9, while studying at the Laugh Factory, she interviewed with producers of Nickelodeon's kid-improv series All That. She was hired, immediately became the breakout funny everygirl a nd got her own self-titled show to headline by 1999. Bynes, who dated her Amanda Show costar Taran Killam, made the move to the big screen (Big Fat Liar) and primetime (CW's What I Like About You opposite Jennie Garth) in 2002. She picked up a costar boyfriend, Nick Zano, on that series as well. She left TV for movies full-time, having starred in a string of teen hits like What A Girl Wants, She's The Man, and Hairspray. She debuted a clothing line called Dear by Amanda in 2007 and had a super-short dalliance with Doug Reinhardt in 2008. She had an even shorter love affair with retirement in 2010 when she announced on Twitter she was quitting acting. Weeks later she posted that she'd "unretired," adding a link to the trailer for her new film with Emma Stone, Easy A. Things haven't been quite so sunny for the California girl since. Work has been sparse, rumors of partying quite the opposite. In 2012, she got two DUIs in three months, was charged by the L.A. City Attorney's office with two counts of hit-and-run related to separate incidents and could be facing jail time.

Yes, we covered the app last week, but remember that painfully slow reservation system we mentioned? Having just reinstalled the app, our reservation is number 813,196. Last week, they completed 150,000 reservations.
If waiting for a month for an app to be useful is your thing, then get cracking on this one.

The glut of university-backed apps continues, but where fun was had at last week's example, this week's is an initiative that is worthy of praise.
Did you know the number of your university's emergency contacts when you were a wee student? Well, now there's an app for that.

Why does the Windows Marketplace experience grate so much? Look no further than this app.
On the surface, it looks like the Aussie startup has doubled its app selection and moved into iOS and Windows Phone apps. But look at the actual site of the company (scroll down after it loads to see more than a search box), and where is this app mentioned?
If this were an official app, I would expect it to be promoted on the company's website somewhere.
And this is one of the gentler applications present in Windows Masquerade-place. There's nothing wrong with the app's functionality, but it should not be named the same as an API, website, and service that is fairly well-known.
Do yourself a favour and download the official app instead.

Pregnant Photo Finish: Melanie Brown & Bridget Moynahanby Free Britney at . Comments
We know, we know. This one's no contest in terms of scarinessor cuteness, but both of these beautiful baby bumps carry with them a little controversy. See below.
At left, an eight-months pregnant Melanie Brown steps out in Beverly Hills Tuesday, proudly showing off her big belly. The ex-Spice Girl, known simply as Scary Spice to dozens of adoring fans, recently celebrated a festive baby shower.
She says the baby's daddy is Eddie Murphy. He denies it, is demanding a paternity test be conducted and seems to enjoy dating Tracey Edmonds. So it goes.
At right, a four-months pregnant Bridget Moynahan waves to photographers at LAX airport. There's no doubt who knocked up this actress - Tom Brady - but what's scandalous is the fact that he recently broke up with her and that his new squeeze, Brazillian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, may also be pregnant.
No one's criticizing the Patriots QB's taste in women, but may need a better role model than Kevin Federline. Fool apparently doesn't believe in using protection.
Which baby bump's better? Leave a comment and let us know.
p.s. talk about scary...
I hope, for Eddie's sake, that he is NOT the father. Have a look see...
TRAPPED. Plain, simple, and evident.
I agree with Fran. Brady bought a new apartment in Sept. so he could be close to Bridget while she filmed her show. Flash ahead to Dec. and Giselle makes a public statement(she could have used text message) about Tom being "not to shabby" and good looking, but that "he has a girlfriend, so he's gay to me." Message to Tom from giselle...break up with your steady, I'd like to have sex with you. Pronto, Tom breaks it off with an already pregnant Bridget. NOONE has ever denied that Tom KNEW that B was pregnant before her announcement. He was just p***ed that she did it while he was on a love(gag me) tour with G in Europe. Did he really think noone would notice B's baby bump? He kept forcing her to wait, but when she saw the pics of his joyous holiday, she smartened up and made it public. He IS NOT a good role model for anyone's son!
Whose to say he was trapped. Contraception is not 100% garanteed. seems to me he broke with Bridget & took up with Giseele after her comments that he was cute.
Where have you been? Gisele is NOT pregnant! and Tom Brady was trapped. He is still a good role model! He has sex - WOW, Shocking!
I guess Bridget is a fool also. She did not use protection either. Unless she hit her goal trying to trap Brady. I go with the second. I am glad Brady did not go back to her. Can not stand her.

Freddie Freeman hit two home runs, Michael Bourn also connected and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 7-5 Tuesday in a matchup of teams that will meet next week on opening day. Both clubs rolled out pitchers who are not expected to make the starting rotation when the season begins. Freeman homered in the seventh inning and again in the ninth, giving him five homers in exhibition play. Bourn hit a three-run homer drive off Mets starter Chris Schwinden. Lucas Duda homered for the Mets and David Wright, in the lineup for a second straight day after making his spring debut Monday, had a sacrifice fly. Braves starter Buddy Carlyle gave up two runs and three hits in four innings.

City Museum Plants Forest on Third Floor

We're all too aware of the fact that bagel preparations and preferences in the Midwest aren't kosher, literally or figuratively. How we like 'em -- with a softer, more cakelike inside, and disguised as desserts like chocolate chip and cinnamon crunch -- is downright blasphemous to purists. We prefer to pat ourselves on the back for thinking outside the bagel hole. But to give the devil his due, St. Louis Bread Company is paradise. Available in about a dozen different flavors daily (including dutch apple-and raisin, French toast and specials like mochachip swirl), Bread Co. bagels probably contribute heavily to St. Louis' bottom-of-the-gutter ranking in all those nationwide health polls. But considering how unorthodox our bagels are, God's going to smite us anyway, right?

How Google translates without understanding
Rules, yes, but self-adapting rules, and not rules in the form of what most people would consider as "grammar". Language operates at a much deeper level, as you can see from the fact that good translations hardly ever reproduce the most apparent grammatical structures of the original text.
On the UN producing "expert" translation, I wouldn't count on it. Most UN and EU translations better machine translation in degree only, but not in essence. They are by and large atrociously overliteral, and have little in common with natural language.
If language is algorithmic at all (and I don't think it is), it can only be so at a degree of complexity that defies reverse engineering along the lines of an electronic translator. Nobody has ever come close to writing a full grammar of any language, and I suspect the very nature of language (total open-ended versatility) is such that no such grammar can exist. This is because meaning is not encapsulated in the words of the speaker but revealed solely in the response of the listener. Words only mean what people take them to mean.
That is the first insurmountable problem for electronic translation. The second is that meaning is distributed across huge expanses of discourse. In the case of spoken language, it is distributed beyond phonetics into prosody, then beyond prosody into gesture. Written language uses a whole panoply of devices to simulate the effects of prosody and even gesture, and I don't see how an algorithmic approach could possibly allow for this.
Well done! Sensible articles on translation are exceedingly rare, and even more so in technical publications.
A friend of mine (another translator) thinks (seriously) this is because humans are hard-wired not to understand how language really works. Because language is the main mechanism of social interaction, an understanding of how it works would undermine its efficacy for fulfilling its intended purpose. And it's true: nothing seems to be as misunderstood as language. The few of us who do understand (your author evidently included) must consider ourselves mutants.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Despite the lower rating I LOVED this school. I had an amazing experience with my sons kindergarten teacher and the principal and asst principal were awesome. The one and only issue I had (with the lunch staff) was address VERY quickly and to my satisfaction. We are moving and my son will be going to a different school and I am very sad about it. We love Harvest Ridge.
My twin daughters started kindergarten at Harvest Ridge this year. I was suspicious at the beginning because of the ratings but it turned out that it is a great school. Two teachers that we dealt with are very organized, caring and knowledgeable. They have always worked for the best interest of our daughters. They have been easy to communicate and collaborate. I especially like the school's principles "caring, respect, responsibility and perseverance. I am not rating it five because of the overall test scores the students of Harvest Ridge is getting since I still expect it to be higher.
One of the best principals around. We didn't know anything about the school when we moved here, but we are so happy with the teachers, the administration, and the school district!
I have been more than satisfied with every aspect of Harvest Ridge. My child's teachers have all been caring, well-organized, and excellent instructors. The principals are involved; and the office staff knows - literally - every student by name. Even the cafeteria staff is loving and patient during what must be the most chaotic time of the school day! There are family-friendly activities planned year-round, and parent involvement is welcomed. I feel our entire family has been blessed to be a part of the Harvest Ridge family!
Great school, great teacher to student ratio, clean, great academics
We love everything about Harvest Ridge Elementary. The Prinicpals are wonderful. The Teachers are very caring and patient. We love all of them from the office staff to the lunch ladies, to the janitors. Our son has learned so much in the two years he has been attending. He is learning about self respect and repecting others. We all could learn or relearn that ourselves. Thank You to everyone at Harvest Ridge for helping our son to be the best he can be.
I have two sons who have gone to this school and both have maintained honor roll status. I have found teachers to be responsive to all my concerns and the grounds are well maintained and safe. Their are family activities planned throughout the year which are great fun. The principle has been great and my kids have flourished since their first days. I would recomend this school.
My son (4th grade) and daughter (preschool program) attend this school. This is a great school to send your children. It's very safe, located in a great neighborhood subdivision, and has a resource police officer on site. It is a year round program and has just added an early childhood class to the school this year. The school district offers an excellent onsite before/after school care and care during cycle breaks. The national scores are somewhat deceiving because this district tests the students at the beginning of the school year verses the standard at the end of the school year. I believe this school is above average in its overall delivery of educational services and quality of teachers. I wish it had more extracurricular activities. No complaints about this school.

- Cooking Time:
- Servings:
- Preparation Time:
- Crust
- 2 x large egg whites
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut, medium shred
- Mousse
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 cup mango pulp (about ½ large mango)
- Garnish
- 1 x ripe passion fruit, pulp scooped out and reserved
- 1 x mango, sliced
- 1 x star fruit, sliced
- 1 x kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 dragon fruit, peeled and cut into slender wedges
- 1 x small papaya, peeled and sliced
- To prepare crust, preheat oven to 275 F. Stir together egg whites, sugar and vanilla until sugar has half dissolved. Stir in coconut until evenly coated with egg mixture. Grease a 10-x-4-inch rectangular tart tin and spoon coconut mixture into it. Press filling into pan, pressing into bottom and up sides of each cup (dip your fingers in a cup of cool water while doing this to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers). Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Shells will be a rich golden brown around edges. Allow to cool in pan then remove.
- To prepare mousse, cream mascarpone gently with sugar to soften. Add lime zest, lime juice and mango pulp and stir until evenly blended (switch to a whisk if you wish, but be careful not to over beat). If mousse is too soft, chill for 20 minutes to firm up. Pipe or spoon mousse into coconut tart shell and chill until ready to serve.
- Garnish with a selection of tropical fruits immediately before serving. The tropical fruits can be sliced ahead of time, and stored under a damp cloth until ready to garnish.

Automotive News reports Nissan will turn to Magna Steyr to build a new Infiniti compact car in 2014. The Austrian manufacturer will assemble the vehicle as part of the luxury brand's efforts to grow in western Europe and other global markets.
So far, Nissan and Infiniti have been tight-lipped about what the vehicle will bring to the table, but earlier reports have hinted the model will be designed to compete directly with the likes of the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Speaking of Mercedes-Benz, the new Infiniti will likely ride on the same underpinnings as the current A and B-Class models.
The report says Nissan is set to use a number of Daimler components in the new compact, including Mercedes-Benz four and six-cylinder engines. Expect to see both gasoline and diesel variants as well. Magna Steyr is expected to produce between 50,000 and 60,000 Infiniti units per year. The two companies are currently finalizing the details of the agreement.

Error unzipping PeopleSoft Images October 4, 2014Posted by Tipster in TW.

The new PUM images are a boon for anyone wanting to get a PeopleSoft instance up and running quickly. Once you've downloaded the zip archives however, you might find that the delivered zip file doesn't work by default for everyone.
The line:
unzip HCM-920-UPD-008_OVA_2of11.zip
gives me the following error:
'unzip' is not recognized as an internal or external command
I'm not sure where the unzip utility is supposed to be from, but it's not delivered as part of Windows 8.1. I typically use the excellent 7zip utility for my zip/archiving needs, so I need to amend the script slightly.
I add the following line near the top:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
so that I can reference the extraction tool with just the filename, then I change each archive line to use 7zip instead, thus:
7z e HCM-920-UPD-008_OVA_2of11.zip
PeopleSoft and Shellshock September 29, 2014Posted by Tipster in Security, TW.

As many will have no doubt heard, there's a new vulnerability that has been spotted, and there are already exploits for it in the wild.
The vulnerable systems are those running Bash – so Windows machines are safe, it's just Unix/Linux and MacOSX.
Security Researcher Kasper Lindegaard from Secunia rates this as a bigger issue than the Heartbleed exploit discovered in April this year. "Heartbleed only enabled hackers to extract information, Bash enables hackers to execute commands to take over your servers and systems."
The US government has rated this 10 out of 10 from severity point of view.
Oracle have been quick to react to this threat, and have issued a security alert here. It includes this chilling text:
This vulnerability may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e. it may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password. A remote user can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on systems that are running affected versions of Bash.
PeopleSoft and Web Browsers – The Guide September 22, 2014Posted by Tipster in Browsers, PeopleTools 8.53, PeopleTools 8.54, TW.

The topic of PeopleSoft/PeopleTools versions and web browsers is often a complicated one, yet it's an issue that every client will face when they either upgrade PeopleTools or move to a new Application version that contains a Tools increase.
Cedar have recently been asked by a client for some assistance to get a definitive answer to the important questions and we thought it would be useful to share this information. We've put together a white paper that shows you the relevant browser versions for PeopleTools 8.54 and PeopleTools 8.53 (i.e. the versions that customers are likely to be upgrading to over the next year or so):

We hope that it saves you some time during your next upgrade.
Help Please! The UKOUG Partner of the Year awards July 31, 2014Posted by Tipster in TW.

We'd really appreciate your help. But first, a bit of background:
The Partner of the Year awards is an annual awards ceremony held by the UK Oracle User Group. It allows customers to show appreciation for partners that have provided a service to them over the previous 12 months. As you would imagine, being voted a winner (for the categories that you operate in) is a wonderful accolade as it's the end-users that have spoken.
Cedar Consulting has a long history of success in the competition, reflecting our long standing relationships with our clients. I wasn't going to ask for votes this year, however I notice that many of our competitors are filling Twitter and LinkedIn with pleas so I feel that I should also ask for your vote.
If you're an existing Cedar client site we'd love your vote. Also, if you are a recipient of any other Cedar service – and I guess here I'm talking about the free PeopleSoft and Fusion Weekly newsletters that we send out – we'd be very grateful if you gave 3 minutes of your time to vote for us.
What we'd like you to do:
1) Go to: http://pya.ukoug.org/index.php
2) Fill in your company name, first name and surname. Then click Next.
3) Enter your email address in both fields, then click Next.
4) Select any checkboxes if you want 'follow-up communications' from the UKOUG, or leave all blank, and click Next.
5) Select Cedar Consulting from the drop-down, and click Next.
6) On the PeopleSoft page, select the Gold radio button on the Cedar Consulting row (note, it's the 3rd column!), then click Next.
7) Repeat by selecting the Gold radio button on the Cedar Consulting row of the Fusion page, then click Next.
8) Click Submit.
And you're done. Thank you very much. If you want some gratitude for your 3 minutes of effort drop me an email and I'll thank you personally!
An Introduction to PeopleTools 8.54 (part 2) July 31, 2014Posted by Tipster in PeopleTools 8.54.
comments closed
1. Introduction
The recently launched version of PeopleTools 8.54 contains a broad range of enhancements. Although we've had the GA (General Availability) release we can't upgrade existing environments until the 8.54.02 patch, so now is a good time to perform a fresh sandbox install to investigate the details and highlight the areas that are of most interest.
As in the first part of this series, there is a lot of content to cover so I've spread it over several entries. This first part looked at the back-end, infrastructure and System Admin changes, whereas this post moves up the software stack with integration and reporting, and the final entry will finish with the Fluid UI.
2. Developer UI Enhancements
There have been a number of improvements to the User Interface – we're not talking about Fluid, this is in the Classic UI too although these changes may also benefit Fluid pages).
a. Charting Enhancements
The development team have introduced some new charting types to the toolset. We were already able to select from quite a few options, however we've now got Gauges, the LED lights, Status Meters and Funnel charts.
b. Long Edit Box Character Counter
The result on-screen is like this:
Note: this functionality doesn't actually limit the text entry and if the user exceeds the limit it will show a negative number.
c. Pivot Grids
Pivot Grids have been enhanced in a lot of ways – there are almost 30 improvements listed in the Release Notes. Just picking a few, they now include the ability to restrict the number of rows shown in a Pivot Grid, PS Query drilling URLs and Bubble and Scatter charts are now available as Pivot Chart types.
3. Reporting
a. BI Publisher
As of PeopleTools 8.54, BI Publisher now includes support for PCL (Printer Control Language) code in RTF templates. This allows for printing PDF with Secure Fonts, essential for the secure printing of cheques.
Also newly supported are digital signatures – which can be used to verify the sender and to ensure that it the output hasn't been amended in transit, and updatable PDFs.
b. PS Query
PS Query now supports defaults for prompts:
There have been workarounds to achieve a similar result before, but it's now built into the configuration pages so we don't need to search online for the workaround each time we want to use it.
Also new with PS Query is the option to include image fields in your output. There are a number of display alternatives with image fields, either Image Data (in which case PS Query will display the image inline with the rest of the HTML result set), or a Base64 encoded data string representing the image with any output other than HTML, or – when the property is set to Image Hyperlink – a URL to the image will be returned instead of the image itself. When the URL is clicked, the image will be displayed in a new browser window.
Additionally, all PS Queries can be exposed as REST services, and Microsoft Excel 2007 and above is supported thereby increasing the amount of rows you can download from a Query result set into Excel above the previous limit of 64 thousand.
Finally, PeopleTools 8.54 introduces a new Query type, the Composite Query. Composite Queries are a superset of Connected Queries (which have been in PeopleTools for a couple of releases). Composite Queries allow users to connect queries together and have the output presented as a flat result set (instead of the hierarchical data sets which were output from Connected Queries).
4. Batch Processing
One very visible improvement to the Process Scheduler is a new status window that slides in from the lower right corner to give updates on processing progress. This is a nice touch that I'm sure end-users will appreciate:
Secondly, Activity Guides can improve batch processes as steps – which is important if there's something a bit more process intensive that's needed as part of a sequence of steps.
Finally, App Engine program trace allows you to specify which sections to appear in the trace, rather than having to wade through the trace for an entire program. This needs to be enabled in the Process Scheduler config, in Configuration Manager, and then in the App Engine itself:
5. Other Enhancements
Other enhancements included in this version of PeopleTools are:
- There's a WorkCenter to make the setting up of new Activity Guides easier, plus a cloning function which will be useful when similar – but slightly different – guides are needed.
- SES facets now include numerical and date ranges. Results can include images and report repository content.
- Change Assistant has now been decoupled from the PeopleSoft Image, enabling packages to be moved to subsequent environments without also needing to connect to the PeopleSoft Image (this was quite restricting in Tools 8.53). It also has a fresh new UI and can be scripting/configured via the command line
- Data Migration Workbench has received improvements to Application Data Sets (and define relationships between groups), plus merging, support for managed objects and an improved UI.
- PeopleSoft Test Framework now allows you to perform mass updates (updating a set of tests in one change), interaction with App Designer projects and some usability enhancements.
6. Conclusion
The next version of PeopleTools is bringing many improvements. Much is being made of the new User Interface – and rightly so – however there are other improvements that we will improve our workflow by making it both simpler and more efficient.

Generating a custom Org Chart in PeopleSoft July 8, 2014Posted by Tipster in TW.
comments closed
This week we have a second guest-post from Richard Yip. Richard is a PeopleSoft HCM & Payroll Technical Consultant at Santander Bank here in the UK. He is a long-term PeopleSoft techie and a regular at the UKOUG conferences. I'm delighted to be able to give him a conduit through which to share some of his good work.
Richard's previous post can be found here.
Custom Organisation Charts in PeopleSoft
In the PS_EMPLOYEES table, there is a custom field called SUPERVISOR_ID. This is used to connect the employee to the supervisor or line manager. This is similar to the REPORTS_TO field in PS_JOB.
I developed this after toying with the GOOGLE API Organisation Chart. Generating the boxes was straight forward enough, so the trick was to understand how to generate the connecting lines.
I also included some Javascript to make the images appear when the box is clicked and disappear when it is double-clicked. The images are from the PS_EMPL_PHOTO, so a data URI with Base64 encoding is used.
Richard has kindly shared all the code required to get this working. See Generate a custom Organisation chart from ps_employees for the listings.

I try to keep the content on here focused on the products and implementation tips however I hope you'll indulge me with one personal post.
After six and a half enjoyable years I have left Succeed Consultancy. I'm leaving behind a lot of talented colleagues and great friends, however for reasons that I don't want to bore you with it's time to move on.
As of yesterday I've started work for Cedar Consulting. One of the largest the 'tier 2′ PeopleSoft consultancies in EMEA.
Cedar have been running – in one form or other – for nearly 20 years and have an impressive list of PeopleSoft implementations, upgrades and support/hosting clients. There are few UK PeopleSoft clients who haven't engaged Cedar at one point or other. As well as their large team of UK consultants they have a number of offices spread globally and a solution centre in India.
Importantly for me, Cedar also have a strong focus on Fusion and already have both a live Fusion client under their belt and the UKOUG Fusion Partner of the Year gold award.
This career move also means that the branding of the PeopleSoft and Fusion Weeklies will change. I'd to thank Succeed for sponsoring the newsletters up to this point and I'm grateful to Cedar for agreeing to sponsor it going forwards. You should notice a rebrand in this week's editions.

Sterling Highway Driver Nearly Causes Crashes in DUI Case
Updated On: Apr 16 2014 08:19:39 PM AKDT
A Sterling man has been arrested on DUI and assault charges, after Alaska State Troopers say he drove under the influence of drugs and placed drivers near the town in peril Wednesday morning.
According to an AST dispatch Wednesday night, shortly before 9:30 a.m. dispatchers received multiple Report Every Dangerous Driver Immediately 911 calls from Sterling regarding a vehicle headed north.
Troopers subsequently stopped the driver -- 27-year-old Teddy Wise -- near Mile 73 of the Sterling Highway.
"Investigation showed Wise had almost caused several crashes and run multiple vehicles off the road and was impaired," troopers wrote.
Wise was arrested on one drug-based DUI count, as well as four counts of third-degree assault. He was remanded to the Wildwood Pretrial Facility.
