Romo completed 22-of-27 pass attempts for 303 yards without an interception for the Cowboys (6-6), who logged their third win in four games.
The Cowboys erased a 27-24 deficit with 5:35 left in the game when Romo capped a seven-play, 86-yard drive with a 6-yard TD pass to Bryant, putting Dallas ahead to stay.
Morris Claiborne ensured the victory with a 50-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown that gave the Cowboys enough of a cushion to hold off the Eagles, who got a 98-yard punt-return touchdown by Damris Johnson with 31 seconds left.
Bryant finished with two TDs on six catches for 98 yards. Jason Witten also made six grabs for 108 yards for Dallas.
Bryce Brown followed up 178-yard rushing performance last week with 169 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries Sunday for the reeling Eagles (3-9), who dropped their eighth straight.

English - B.A.
|The Bachelor of Arts in English allows students to focus on topics of personal interest while developing a broad background in English studies. All students take core classes, surveying English and American literatures and approaches to literary study. They also choose from a wide variety of elective courses in three areas (historical; writing and language studies; and genre, cultural studies and literary theory) and complete a capstone senior seminar. English majors can participate in the English Club and Sigma Tau Delta and earn various scholarships and awards.
|At the undergraduate level, our programs prepare students for careers in professional writing, editing, publishing, public relations, and teaching, as well as for graduate and professional studies in language, literature, education, law, and communications.
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Authors, writers and editors held about 281,300 jobs in 2008. Writers and authors held about 151,700 jobs and editors held about 129,600 jobs. About 70 percent of writers and authors were self-employed, while 12 percent of editors were self-employed.
Among the 30 percent of salaried writers and authors, about half work in the professional, scientific, and technical services and in publishing (except Internet) industries. These industries include advertising, public relations and related services and newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishers, respectively. Other salaried writers and authors work in broadcasting, professional and social organizations, and the motion picture and video industries.
While 51 percent of salaried editors worked in the publishing, except Internet industry (half of those for newspapers), a large number of editors were also employed in other industries. Business, professional and social organizations, information services, and educational institutions employed editors to work on their publications or Web content.
Jobs are somewhat concentrated in major media and entertainment markets—Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, DC—but improved communications and Internet capabilities allow writers to work from almost anywhere. Many prefer to work outside these cities and travel regularly to meet with publishers and clients and to do research or conduct interviews in person. As a result, job location is less of a requirement for many writing or editing positions than it once was.

Heyneke Meyer has reiterated his call for a central contracting system as a means of making the Springboks the strongest force in the game.
The success of Meyer's first season in charge has been compromised by a string of first-choice players going down injured, while there have also been a host of withdrawals of impact and fringe players. He will undertake the year-end tour without the services of Bismarck du Plessis, Bryan Habana, Frans Steyn and Andries Bekker, who are widely considered to be among the best in their positions in the game. They are all sidelined because of what Meyer has attributed to the destructive and cumulative effect of the longest season in their careers.
Meyer has voiced serious concerns about the well-being of the elite players in the recent past and has again suggested that something needs to change or risk their careers being cut by many years, in the process undermining any potential for the Springboks to become the world's pre-eminent side.
'My strength has always been to change flawed systems which I hope I can still do while in charge. New Zealand get it right from a player management point of view. We have to look at that as a way forward otherwise we will never be the top team in the world,' Meyer told keo.co.za. 'Our top players simply cannot play Currie Cup, Super Rugby and Test matches. Also their social and family life suffers because they are never at home. We are going to lose more players to overseas teams if this doesn't change. If we want to win consistently, not just one or two here and there, we have to look at the systems going forward.
'We're not in an ideal situation and I'm worried about all the injuries, particularly since there are some world-class players unavailable,' he continued. 'This tour was already a tough one and with the injuries it will be tougher. It is frustrating because I wanted to try new things and build on what we've done so far. But when you have new players coming into the group you have to go back to basics. If you consider that Fourie du Preez and Jaque Fourie weren't available, and Frans Steyn and Bryan Habana were injured recently, if I had all those players fit suddenly the backline is helluva experienced. Hopefully one day I can pick that backline.'
Team doctor Craig Roberts, however, eased some fears around the availability of players in the squad who are carrying knocks. Francois Louw's neck injury has responded well to treatment and he is expected to play for Bath on Sunday. Adriaan Strauss will participate fully in training this week after a knee injury, while captain Jean de Villiers (hamstring) has already started running and will be available for selection for the Ireland Test.
Meyer confirmed that he had settled on the 32nd player to tour but could not say who because details were still being discussed with his club. Locks Bakkies Botha (Toulon) and Marco Wentzel (London Wasps) are on standby. Meyer extolled Wentzel's lineout value (he has been the Premiership's most successful lineout receiver), while adding that he still held Botha in high regard. 'I'd love to have Bakkies involved because I think he has two or three years left in him at Test level,' he said. 'But he isn't going to start ahead of Eben and he isn't a bench player.'

A hedgerow in any sense or form is a living wall -- a beautiful, breathing structure that can rival steel in strength and stone in longevity. For centuries, hedgerows have been used to draw property lines, contain livestock, buffer wind and define and beautify the grounds of palaces and farming homesteads alike. Today, after many years as a horticultural relic, the hedgerow is making a comeback, not only in agriculture and through wildlife preservation efforts, but also in the suburban landscape, where a well-planned living wall can be the perfect privacy screen and much more.

Interface to LIN bus
- For rapid control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop simulation in a LIN environment
- LIN master and slave support
- 16 independent LIN channels
- Up to 16 LIN nodes per LIN channel
- Supports LIN 1.3 and 2.0 and 2.1
Application Areas in Rapid Control Prototyping
The DS4330 and the corresponding software can be used for developing and testing electronic control units (ECUs) which communicate with LIN actors and sensors. For rapid control prototyping purposes – laboratory-based or vehicle-based – real LIN slaves can be connected to the prototyping system that simulates the ECU under development as the master node.
Application Areas in Hardware-in-the-Loop-Simulation
Using dSPACE Simulator and a DS4330, you can test the LIN network features of an electronic control unit. The dSPACE system simulates the LIN nodes which are connected to the LIN bus. The simulated LIN nodes behave in exactly the same way as real bus members (restbus simulation).
Test Scenarios
The DS4330 can be used in many different ways. Several test scenarios are possible:
- Testing the transmission of message frames
- Testing communication timing constraints
- Testing against specification limits
- Testing diagnostic and failure conditions
- Testing energy-saving modes
Comprehensive Software Support
The DS4330 provides a LIN interface for the connection of dSPACE systems to LIN buses. You can set up and control these simulated LIN buses with the RTI LIN MultiMessage Blockset. The RTI LIN MultiMessage Blockset (supporting LIN standards 1.3, 2.0 and 2.1) is an extension for Real-Time Interface and can be used for combining dSPACE systems with LIN communication networks and for configuring these LIN networks. With the RTI LIN MultiMessage Blockset you can handle complex LIN setups, which lets you control and configure all unconditional and event-triggered LIN frames from one single Simulink block (configuration via database file).

According to a new survey, Ryan Gosling is the guy people would most like to see in a sex tape. He was followed by Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey and Johnny Depp. Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are the COUPLE people would most like to see getting it on.
LINDSAY LOHAN left rehab yesterday as scheduled, but she's not rejoining society just yet. She plans to spend a few days living with a SOBER COACH, because she wanted some kind of transition from rehab to the real world. By the way, Lindsay is guest-hosting "Chelsea Lately" this coming Monday
KRISTEN STEWART went off on a paparazzi scumbag the other day, telling him, quote, "You're a piece of [crap] and you don't deserve to breathe the same air I do."
RadarOnline.com reports that the "Today" show's ratings are declining so much that staff members are starting to get laid off. Supposedly, nine people have been canned already . . . and those jobs COULD'VE been saved if MATT LAUER agreed to lose 1% of his $25 MILLION salary, but he refused.

How does JOHN STAMOS stay so MANTASTIC? Well, Pilates help . . . although he takes a lot of ribbing at those classes. He says, quote, "I go in and it's all women except for me. I'm the only guy there, and I know they make up these exercises like 'come over here, John, and do the penguin.' And then it looks like I'm getting a pap smear. They do it to make me look silly, but it keeps me in shape."
LEA MICHELE has spoken out for the first time about the death of her boyfriend and "Glee" co-star CORY MONTEITH. She Tweeted a picture of the two of them together, along with this message . . . quote, "Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support. Cory will forever be in my heart."
Forbes.com has dropped its annual list of the Highest-Paid Actresses . . . and ANGELINA JOLIE tops it with $33 million. JENNIFER LAWRENCE was second with $26 million, and KRISTEN STEWART pulled down $22 million for a third-place finish.
MILEY CYRUS prefers weed to booze. She says, quote, "When I smoke, I don't get the sick feeling I get when I drink, or that anger rising up. There's a reason Bob Marley was like some kind of musical Rasta Mother Teresa!" She also says her "We Can't Stop" video is tamer than a lot of what kids are watching online already.

As far as we know, SELENA GOMEZ and JUSTIN BIEBER are OFF at the moment. But on "Good Morning America" Friday, Selena said, quote, "He and I have had such a history together. I'll always care about him and protect him if anyone tries to be mean." --Then on Saturday, Selena celebrated her 21st birthday at a club with several friends . . . including Justin. He showed up with JADEN SMITH, and brought Selena a single red rose. Then Selena and Justin left TOGETHER at about 2:00 A.M.
Rapper DJ KHALED proposed to NICKI MINAJ in a video that aired on "MTV News". He also flashed a supposed $500,000, 10-carat ring. There's no word how Nicki feels about this. There are some reports that she actually filed a restraining order against him.
The petition AMANDA BYNES' parents filed for a conservatorship was released Friday. They say Amanda is paranoid, obsessed with body image . . . and she's burned through $1.2 million in a really short period of time. They said, quote, "We believe that a substantial amount of this money is being used to pay for marijuana and other illegal substances, and possibly for plastic surgery."
REESE WITHERSPOON reportedly treated herself to a $1,500 haircut on Saturday. She went to a high-end salon in Beverly Hills where they, quote, "treat each strand [of hair] in its own way, in order to achieve the most natural effect. ANGELINA JOLIE and SALMA HAYEK are also fans of the procedure.
Jennifer Aniston says she's in no rush to marry boyfriend Justin Theroux -- because they "already feel married." Jen says she'll walk down the aisle, quote, "when it's perfect."

Friday, July 26, 2013
Here's the latest on AMANDA BYNES, in a nutshell: Amanda's doctors are extending her hospital stay for TWO WEEKS, saying they need that much time to properly diagnose her. TMZ says doctors believe she's suffering from SEVERE mental illness, and they've even noticed schizophrenic tendencies. They say she can go through long periods of lucidity, but she can also slip right back into CRAZY. But on the plus side, she tested NEGATIVE for all drugs, except marijuana. However, RadarOnline.com says Amanda has been taking Adderall for years. It's supposedly for ADHD, but the REAL reason she takes it is for weight loss . . . and it's doing nothing but adding to her paranoia. She's been asking for it in the hospital, but doctors won't give it to her. Yesterday, Amanda's parents filed for a conservatorship.
In the past few months, JUSTIN BIEBER has been accused of spitting on both his neighbor and a club DJ. And now Justin's saliva is back in the news. Yesterday in Toronto, Justin was hanging out on a hotel balcony with friends . . . and spitting over it. It's not clear who or what was below him at the time he was spitting, but it seems like there were fans hanging out down there all day.
O.J. SIMPSON went before a parole board yesterday to ask for leniency. He said he's been a model prisoner, and added that the difference between his crime and that of the other inmates is that, quote, "They were trying to steal other people's money. My crime was trying to retrieve for my family my own property."
MILEY CYRUS may have to grow her hair long again just to be different, because she claims everyone's been COPYING her since she cut it. She says, quote, "I just always want to be different. Everyone else has cut their hair to look just like me, so now I got to do something different. I don't like when you walk in and you see a bunch of other yous."
OPRAH WINFREY has announced that her post-rehab interview with LINDSAY LOHAN will air on Sunday, August 18th. It'll be an episode in her "Oprah's Next Chapter" series on her cable network, OWN.

The royal baby has been named GEORGE ALEXANDER LOUIS. Officially, he'll be known as Prince George of Cambridge. The "George" may come from KING GEORGE THE THIRD, who was PRINCE CHARLES' favorite monarch . . . or from KING GEORGE THE SIXTH, the subject of the movie "The King's Speech".
AMANDA BYNES had her Pomeranian with her when she lit that driveway fire on Monday night. And the poor dog ended up COVERED IN GASOLINE. After that happened, Amanda ran to a nearby liquor store and tried to wash it off. In surveillance video from the store, you can see Amanda come in with the dog and bring it into an area designated for employees only. When the cashier goes back there, she leaves. A source says the guy smelled gasoline, so he went to see what was happening. He found Amanda trying to wash the dog off in a sink. But she, quote, "freaked out" when she saw him. The dog is fine, by the way. Amanda's parents have it.
Meanwhile, Amanda Bynes won't be charged for setting fire to that old woman's driveway in Thousand Oaks, California. Sources say prosecutors will not charge Bynes with trespass, arson or any other criminal offense in connection with Monday's fire. The sources say cops and prosecutors view her conduct as non-criminal and caused by mental illness… and that she needs professional help not punishment.
The British tabloids say KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST spent about $767,000 on four GOLD-PLATED TOILETS for their new mansion. They also spent $444,000 on six beds and $325,000 on kitchen appliances. They also bought a refrigerator encrusted with Swarovski crystals. There's no word how much that cost.

In May 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific and quickly sank, leaving behind only two survivors bobbing helplessly in the restless seas. One of them was Louis Zamperini, a 26-year-old airman who had overcome a troubled past to become an Olympic athlete. After 47 perilous days adrift on a raft, Zamperini and his companion survivor were rescued by the Japanese navy. He remained a prisoner of war until the end of hostilities. This riveting narrative by the author of Seabiscuit is the story of one plucky man. Now ninety-three, Louis Zamperini lives on.

Victor Matfield will decide this week whether to return to the Bulls or stay with French second division club Toulon.
Matfield, widely regarded as the world's best lock, joined big spending Toulon in December 2007 on a multi-million rand deal. He does, however, have a clause in his contract that allows him to reassess his position after six months.
In a recent interview with SA Rugby magazine Matfield hinted strongly that he would like to return to play for the Bulls, but said his earning potential and being able to spend more time with his family was the appealing thing about staying in the southern French city.
"Two or three seasons here would set me up for life financially and being able to see [his wife] Monja and [daughter] Jaime everyday is something I'm loving," he said.
"[But] I think I made the move to France two years to early. The decision to come here was based on the fact that I believed I had two years of international rugby left in me. In my mind the Lions tour in 2009 was going to be my final series, so I decided that it would be good to finish by experiencing a different rugby culture and be paid handsomely for it in the process. Then, after the World Cup, I felt great, and at this stage I want to play for another four years, with the World Cup in New Zealand the obvious target. If I want to realise that goal I need to be playing my rugby in South Africa.
Asked whether the incessant pressure he was under in South Africa wouldn't deter him from coming home Matfield said: "You'd think that I grew tired of it, but I really miss the pressure for some strange reason.
"To test yourself against the world's best players weekly is a privilege, and something that I miss terribly. Toulon is a great club and I'm still dead set on playing my part in getting us into the Top 14. They've been very good to me, and for that I'll be eternally grateful. But the Bulls have a special place in my heart. I miss what we've built up over the last eight years. The majority of that squad went through hell in the early 2000s in the (then) Super 12. We came through that together, and won the competition last year. So there's a strong bond between the guys.
"If I can get stuff sorted out with Toulon and back in South Africa I'll probably be coming home."
Last year, South Africa lost a host of World Cup winning Springboks to lucrative contracts with European clubs and there are currently 93 other South Africans playing in the Premiership, French Top 14 and Frennch Pro 2 Division. Matfield said players who sign to play in Europe have to be clear in their motivation.
"If they're coming here for the retirement package and more time with their families, there really isn't a better place than France, Toulon in particular. But if they still have ambitions to achieve something in South Africa, those "what if" questions will always be there. Those questions have haunted me a lot since I've been here."
Toulon are known to be very reluctant to release their star signing, hoping that he will be their trump card if they gain promotion to the Top 14 – which now looks likely with them seven points clear at the top of the table with six rounds remaining. It would not be surprising if millionaire club president Mourad Boudjellal offered to improve Matfield's current deal to retain his services.
Boudjellal told SA Rugby Magazine that he envisages creating a team of stars who are able to compete for the title in their first year in the Top 14. Toulon, who are coached by Tana Umaga, already boast players of the calibre of George Gregan, Anton Oliver and Andrew Mehrtens. Last year they attempted to sign Schalk Burger and Jerry Collins but were rejected, while an approach was made to Bulls Super 14 winning coach Heyneke Meyer. Most recently they've been linked with Dan Carter, although French giants Toulouse look favourites to land the All Black flyhalf.
Matfield's Springbok lock partner Bakkies Botha recently expressed his desire to move join Matfield at Toulon. Boudjellal told keo.co.za that he had signed a pre-contract agreement, committing himself to the club from 1 April 2008. However, the Bulls refused to release Botha, who last year signed a four year extension to his existing Bulls contract.

ARY—Louann Little had never been late for work without calling in.
"She'll call and tell you if she's going to be a minute late," longtime friend Jeffrey Wayne Smith said.
When Glenna Chaney, who works at Chaney's Restaurant in the Ary community of Perry County, did not get a call from Little nearly 10 minutes after her 10 a.m. shift started, she began to worry.
"I called her husband and asked where she was. He asked if she was at work and I said no, you better go make sure she's all right," Chaney said, adding that Little, who lived on Balls Fork, had been at Chaney's for nearly two decades. "She just lives about 10 minutes away, so we knew something was wrong."
Just after 10 a.m. Thursday morning, Perry County EMS responded to a call that a vehicle was overturned about a mile up Balls Fork Road, Perry County Deputy Chris Combs said. Upon arrival, EMS found a maroon Ford Explorer driven by 49-year-old Little on its top in the middle of the road.
"When I seen the ambulances come up Ball and she was late for work, I knowed something was wrong," Smith said.
Combs said Little was the only person in the vehicle and no other cars were involved in the incident.
"The paramedic on scene determined that she was deceased and the coroner was called," Combs said.
Combs added that the cause of the accident was due to weather conditions.
"It was slick," Combs said, noting the curvy, wet road led to Little losing control of her vehicle and hitting the embankment, which caused her to flip.
Many on Balls Fork who knew Little were at the scene comforting family members. Smith said losing Little will be something everyone in the community feels because everyone knew her.
"I knowed her all my life. I was raised up with her around here."
Chaney said the news still has staff at the restaurant in shock since it was so sudden and seemingly out of nowhere.
"She was like family," she said. "I mean, we just found out this morning. It's going to be real hard."

Scriptom is an optional Groovy module originally developed by Guillaume Laforge. It combines the elegant "syntactical sugar" of Groovy with the power of the Jacob library (Java COM Bridge). Scriptom lets you use ActiveX or COM Windows components from Groovy. The result is something that looks eerily similar to VBScript - only groovier.
You can use Scriptom to automate Word or Excel documents, control Internet Explorer, make your PC talk using the Microsoft Speech API, monitor processes with WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), or browse the Windows Registry using WShell - and much more. Scriptom also provides an easy way to talk to custom VB6 or Microsoft.NET libraries.
Of course, Scriptom can be used only on Microsoft Windows.
Scriptom is included as an option in the Windows Installer, and Scriptom can be downloaded from this page (see below). The Scriptom codebase is stable and feature-complete. The Jacob project - Scriptom's foundation - was started in 1999 and is being used in countless production Java applications worldwide. Scriptom is now in wide use as well, and has proven to be stable and mature.
Scriptom gives you all the COM-scripting power of Jacob, only it is a lot easier. See Getting Started with COM for some tips to get you started.
The following are required to run Scriptom:
- Groovy 1.5 or 1.6
- Java 1.5 or later
- Windows and Java for x86 or x64 (AMD64) architectures. Itanium (IA-64) is not supported.
Maven-Generated Documentation
Maven-generated documentation is available at http://groovy.codehaus.org/scriptom-generated/. This contains useful information from the build, including JavaDoc for all projects.
Scriptom is part of the Windows Installer. If you are running Groovy scripts on Windows, you are all set.
"Just the (Arti)facts, Ma'am."
If you aren't using Maven or Grape, and you just need the pre-packaged JAR files and associated binaries, you've come to the right place.
- Scriptom 1.6.0 (4/8/2009) - No new features or bug fixes. The code base is identical to the 1.5.4-12 release. Project has been repackaged into multiple JARs, making it possible to have a small distribution (the core Scriptom JAR is 37KB). File/folder structure is set up for the Windows Installer. Source code and documentation are removed from the distribution.
- scriptom-1.5.4.zip Build 12 (12/26/2008) - Scriptom JAR file, Scriptom-1.5.4bX-32.dll, Scriptom-1.5.4bX-64.dll, Java source code, ANT build script, examples, tests, utilities, and documentation. Groovy 1.5 and 1.6.
Adding Scriptom to a Maven Project
You can add Scriptom to a Maven project. Because there is JNI involved, it isn't quite as simple as adding a dependency, but it is doable. Need to come up with an example of creating an assembly with GMaven.
- Add the Scriptom dependency to your Maven project.
- Add the Jacob JAR dependency. This JAR must be loaded only once, so if you are working in a server application like Tomcat or GlassFish, you need to ensure that Jacob's JAR is only loaded by the system classloader. Need more explicit instructions on this...
- Jacob requires a DLL. It's a JNI project, after all. But Jacob actually supports two versions of the DLL it needs, one for 32-bit x86 systems, and one for the AMD x64 architecture (works with 64-bit Intel chips too). The easiest way to get this to work is to put both DLLs somewhere on the system path. Jacob will automatically pick the one it needs. Need to detail the other ways to specify the Jacob DLL.
Need to detail the TLB projects, constants, etc.
The Old Way to Install (deprecated)...
Download the project archive and extract the files.
- scriptom-1.5.4.zip Build 12 (12/26/2008) - Scriptom JAR file, Scriptom-1.5.4bX-32.dll, Scriptom-1.5.4bX-64.dll, Java source code, ANT build script, examples, tests, utilities, and documentation.
Install the jar file and DLL file(s) into your project, and optionally install an update from Microsoft:
- Add the Scriptom jar file (scriptom-1.5.4bX-XX.jar) into your Java classpath. It contains both Scriptom and Jacob class files, so you must not include jacob.jar.
- Copy both Scriptom-1.5.4bX-XX.dll files to somewhere on your java.library.path. (usually somewhere on the system 'PATH').
- To avoid the dreaded java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError, download and install one of the following updates from Microsoft: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)or Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64). Scriptom doesn't support the IA-64 (Itanium) architecture at this time, mainly due to lack of interest. If you are wondering about the different processor architectures, check out the x86-64 wiki. It is usually necessary to install these updates on Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000, and we've found that it may also be necessary for Windows XP and even Vista.
Scriptom 1.5 is not supported for Groovy 1.0 and earlier (Scriptom 1.2 is still available).
Building from Source
The project source is managed by Subversion. The projects are already set up to work with Eclipse, but it isn't hard to get them working with other IDEs, and you can get by with Notepad. The project trunk is located at http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/modules/scriptom/trunk. This is a Maven build. Because the tests are dependent on Windows technologies, there are some rather strange software requirements:
- Windows XP or later.
- Visual C# Express 2008 or Visual Studio 2008
- Java 1.5.x or later. Java 1.6.x recommended.
- Maven 2.0.9 or better.
- A Subversion client. I recommend you get one or both of:
- Tortoise
- SlikSVN
To build, use the following command line:
The latest build requires Groovy 1.5 or better.
Scriptom includes source files and compiled DLLs (Windows libraries compiled from C++) from Jacob version 1.14. You don't need to download sources and binaries from the Jacob project on SourceForge.net, though you can do so if you need to build the entire project yourself.
To build the project on Windows, run project/build/make.bat. Since Scriptom is a Windows-specific module, there isn't a shell script for building on other operating systems.
The build process requires Java 1.5 or higher (Java 1.6 recommended) and ANT 1.6.5 or better.
Changes from Scriptom 1.2
Scriptom 1.5 is a substantial upgrade to previous versions of Scriptom, and is not backward compatible. We hope you will agree that it is worth a little code rework to get all these great new features! Scriptom 1.2 is the version that is documented in Groovy in Action.
- Provides simplified helper methods for dealing with COM apartment threading models.
- ActiveXProxy name changed to ActiveXObject to match WSH convention.
- VariantProxy no longer exists (the functionality was refactored into ActiveXObject).
- Variant values are converted to and from the equivalent Java type; no more calling .value on everything!
- Supports COM event callbacks using closures (this is still a work in progress, but usable as is).
- Supports indexed properties, including multiple indexes.
- Supports typed, multi-dimensional SafeArrays.
- Supports pass-byref (in/out) values, both in method calls and event handler callbacks.
- Supports COM enumerable types (so you can use .each, for example).
- Supports missing arguments (for optional parameters) in method/property calls and events.
- Includes constant definitions for several popular Windows applications, derived from these type libraries (see JavaDoc):
- Microsoft Office 2003 (works with other versions as well)
- Word 2003
- Excel 2003
- Outlook 2003
- Access 2003
- PowerPoint 2003
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (works with other versions as well)
- Microsoft Scripting (i.e., FileSystemObject)
- Microsoft Speech API
- Windows Scripting Host (WSH)
- WbemScripting (WMI - Windows Management Instrumentation)
- Microsoft Office 2003 (works with other versions as well)
- Supports the latest features from Jacob 1.14, including new support for the Decimal data type and 64-bit integers.
Migrating from Previous Versions of Scriptom
Scriptom 1.5 is not backward compatible with previous versions of Scriptom. To get your scripts running again, do this:
- Change all references to ActiveXProxy into ActiveXObject.
- Wrap any code that references an ActiveXObject in Scriptom.inApartment { ... }, which replaces the way Scriptom previously handled COM threading.
- Remove all references to .value property references.
- Remove any statically typed references to VariantProxy.
- Support for COM events is greatly improved in this version - and also greatly changed. Refer to the Events section below for more information.
Quick Start
Let's say you want an application that talks. Pure Java implementations aside (this is, after all, a Groovy/COM tutorial), and ignoring the fact that the default voice on pre-Vista machines sounds like Dr. Zoidberg with a sinus infection, you could use the Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) to get the job done.
You start by creating an ActiveXObject with the prog-id for SpVoice. Now you can call any of the methods it supports. By default, SpVoice will block until it is done speaking, but we're also going to have it speak asynchronously and wait until it is done.
If you have scripted COM before, you are probably used to using "magic numbers" throughout your code in place of COM constants. In this code sample, we're using fully-qualified constants instead.
Scriptom includes fully JavaDoc'd constant and interface definitions from a number of commonly used type-libraries, and you can even create your own. The source code for generating COM type library definitions for Groovy is written in Groovy , and it's included in the project. It may not seem like a big deal to replace a couple of numbers, but it will be a lot easier in 10 years to find relevant information on SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync than on the number 1 (Google returns a little more than 9 billion hits for the number '1', and about 1,000 for 'SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync,' including hits on this paragraph). And besides, the code reads better.
Speaking of interfaces, it turns out that SpVoice supports several. You can test an ActiveXObject to see if it supports a given interface using .supportsInterface, and you can cast an ActiveXObject to a given interface using .toInterface.
This next example displays the COM interfaces that SpVoice supports (within the SAPI library only):

|how not to crash the JVM or lock your process
|supported types and conversions in Java, VB6, and VB.NET
|calling COM methods and properties from Groovy
|how to let methods change the value of passed-in arguments
|support for COM events
Here is a simple example that uses the Microsoft ScriptControl to evaluate a JScript expression. This is a very indirect way to add 2 and 2.
There are many, many potential uses for Scriptom - far to many to try to maintain as part of this documentation. So we've included a whole slew of meaty examples in the project archive for you to play with. We'd like to encourage you to go look at those examples, run them, and modify them. And if you come up with an especially interesting example, let us know about it. We may even include it in a future release!
Some additional examples included with Scriptom:
- Automated writing to and reading from Excel spreadsheets. Includes COM events example.
- Navigation in Internet Explorer. Includes COM events example.
- Gathering information about processes and Windows NT services using WMI.
- Parsing a *.msg file with Microsoft Outlook.
Consuming Visual Basic 6 (VB6) and Visual Basic.NET COM-enabled DLLs.

Post Scriptom
All known (unresolved) issues and feature requests are listed in the Scriptom Jira database.
Changes to each build are summarized in the Change Log.
Recent builds of Scriptom can be found here. Older versions are archived:
Build 10. Bundled with the Groovy 1.5 Windows Installer. Requires Groovy 1.5 and Java 5 or better.
(also Scriptom 1.1 and Scriptom 1.0) Original version, and the one that is documented in Groovy in Action. Requires Groovy 1.0 or better and Java 1.4 or better.
Scriptom uses late binding. Visual Basic and VBA uses early binding by default, but they also support late binding (with CreateObject). If you are translating working Visual Basic code and if your Scriptom code fails at the point where you've got your call
(or whatever your object is) with an error message
then the chances are the progid "Sage...." that you are using is the wrong one.
So you need to go and look in the registry to find what it might be. One way to do this is with Microsoft's new Powershell cmd utility which you can download from the ms web site. Install this and run the command line
It will produce a ream of different progids which you can sort and search for one that looks a likely candidate. In my case it was SDOEngine.14
Alternatively if you have used the scriptom utility ExtractTlbInfo.groovy to generate name maps for the com object you could read the source code for the (in my case SageDateObject140.java) class and you might find some code and/or comment like this:
Additionally, you can use the Object Browser included with Visual Basic (I recommend the one with VBA) to figure out possible progids and then search the registry. This is a good way to associate interfaces (and their methods) with a particular progid. If there are VBScript or JScript examples available, they will include the correct progids, since these languages are always late-bound.
If all else fails, hit the Groovy mailing lists. There are lots of people out there with COM experience who can point you in the right direction.

Dirty Optics
The second problem most people have with garage door sensors is plain old dirt. Dust and grime can obstruct the lenses of the garage door sensor enough to prevent it from operating properly. As part of your periodic checkup looking for loose bolts and such, a simple lens cleaning can keep things running smoothly. A little rubbing alcohol and some cotton swabs will make short work of this job.

Hostages was a big ratings disappointment for CBS. They're hoping that their new Intelligence series will perform much better. Will it be cancelled or become a hit? Stay tuned!
On Intelligence, Gabriel Vaughn (Josh Holloway) is a high-tech intelligence operative who's been enhanced with a super-computer microchip in his brain. It allows him to be connected directly into the global information grid. Other castmembers include Marg Helgenberger, Meghan Ory, Michael Rady, John Billingsley, P. J. Byrne, Tomas Arana, Lance Reddick, and Peter Coyote.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
How are your shows doing? Check the season rankings: ABC | CBS | The CW |FOX | NBC
5/10 update: Intelligence has been cancelled by CBS after 13 episodes and one season.
Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.85 million total viewers.
Note: If you're not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an "*"). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Intelligence TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

Great Quality for Budget-Minded Brides
The magnet turned out just as nice as it looked online. It's not as flexible in colors (for obvious reasons) as many other magnets I considered, but that's what made this particular design a perfect choice: no need to select a variety of colors, fonts, etc. It's the Save the Date of choice for anyone looking for a quick and easy design without all the crazy decision making. Going through the ordering process (from pre-approval to checkout) was such a cinch. I even used a coupon code which was easily accepted. The magnets came a day earlier than anticipated - in a GORGEOUS large keepsake box. I only order 25 magnets and the box that it came in was much larger and very pretty (a Tiffany colored box in which I now use for my guest list, contacts, vendors, etc.). The magnets themselves are sturdy and the envelopes are the perfect size - with lovely silver lining inside, which I did not expect at all. At first I thought the envelopes were going to be too small, but thankfully, I was wrong. The guests will enjoy opening their little envelope when it arrives in the mail. This is my second (and last) wedding, so I was looking for simplicity, budget-friendly, super easy designs and options. Carved in Love was the perfect design for my outdoor wedding theme. Oh, and I don't want to forget to mention that I'll be using the 25% off coupon for the invitations that came as a little bonus in the package!
Very impressed!
We ordered the rectangle invite, RSVP card, Guest Info Card, mailing labels, and envelopes. As my fiance and I were pulling each item of the box we couldn't believe how gorgeous everything had turned out. The paper quality was incredible and had a great feel in your hands. The print was crisp and looked perfect. We've agreed that these are some of the most beautiful invites we've ever seen. I'd highly recommend the Carved in Love invites! :)
No Picture.... Good Option
I really wanted a picture of us on our save the dates but just couldn't find one that worked. The Carved in Love magnets turned out to be a great option! We purchased the return address labels and put our pictures on the label (so I was still able to get a picture in). The wording is clear and the original colors work great together. We did add "Save the Date" at the top of the magnet, it fit well and looks good. Delivery takes about 2weeks. The customer service and art department were amazingly helpful!
Very pleased!
Very easy to design magnets just how I wanted them. I love the whole "Carved in Love" theme, and have decided to use it for my invitations as well, especially once I saw the magnets in person. The magnets seem to be of good quality - very thin, so there will be no issues with the shipping. Envelopes are much larger than the magnets, so I plan on including a personalized note in some of them since I will be mailing out at Christmas time. Production and shipping time was as promised. My only complaint, and a very small one, is the updates online regarding the status of my order - very vague.
Simply Perfect
I love the "Carved in Love" mini magnet save the dates! They set the tone for our wedding and are a prefect fit to our venue; a New England fall wedding in a rustic apple orchard.

Using Less Concrete
Even with recycled content, concrete production still requires resources and energy. To minimize the amount of resources used in construction, you should find ways to use less concrete for equally solid construction.
Autoclaved cellular concrete is a type of preformed concrete block with aerated concrete. It is lighter than traditional concrete, yet it's just as strong and offers better insulation. Insulated concrete forms are another option. They are light foam blocks that hold poured concrete, then remain in the walls and foundation, reducing the amount of concrete required and, again, improving insulation.
You also can save concrete in construction by excavating a shallower foundation or using lightweight pre-cast concrete. Consult local building codes, but in most areas, a 16-inch foundation is adequate. Such a foundation can also be more energy efficient by making better use of natural subsurface insulation.

If you want some of the freshest produce around, you'll find it at a local farmer's market.The reasoning is simple. There is no "jet lag" involved. While most of the produce that hits the supermarket shelves is trucked in, local produce has traveled less than a day to get to market, making it as garden fresh as possible.
Grill enthusiasts who depend on barbecue sauces and marinades to awaken meats may be missing the boat.Nothing can add character and a kick to beef and pork like a good rub.A rub is simple, dry powder usually made of spices, salts and sugars that's applied to meat before it's grilled.It not only boosts the flavor, but also forms a tasty crust by clinging to the meat.According to the Web site www.fiery–foods.com, rubs work well because they "open up" the meat.

It's not in the shopping mall; it's cupcakes made fresh from the kitchen cabinet.
We're talking flour, sugar, baking soda and butter, blended with the love that every mother appreciates.
When Stephen Wright decided to enter the Tabernacle United Methodist Church Chili Cook-off on April 12 to benefit the 2008 Relay for Life, he had a plan.It wasn't much of a plan, but it was a plan."I told 'em, I'd probably be better off to go by Wendys, buy a bunch of chili, put it in a pot and try to fake out everybody," he said, laughing.
The Lancaster faith community is encouraged to attend the Fifth Annual Lancaster Community Prayer Luncheon on May 1 at Covenant Baptist Church, 165 Craig Manor Road.
This year's keynote speaker is Kelly McCorkle Parkison, who served as Miss South Carolina 2002 and participated in the television reality show, "Amazing Race."
In addition to McCorkle Parkison, the service will include prayers offered to God for our families, churches, our government leaders, military and civil servants and our nation said Dr. Bert Welch, Covenant senior pastor.
There's a shiny, new cast-iron skillet above the refrigerator in our kitchen. But that's about to change; I'm ready to knock that sheen off by seasoning it and putting it to good use.
To me, the pride of every southern kitchen is still a cast-iron skillet.
In a day when stainless, copper-coated cookware is the rage, that old dark skillet has lost its appeal to many.
I'm not really sure, considering that it can be used for a wide array of roasting, frying, sauteing and baking.
When Scots-Irish settlers migrated to the Carolinas in the 18th century, they brought familiar names like Lancaster, Chester and York with them.
They also brought what they had learned from cooking in the open hearths of their homes in Ireland and the Pennsylvania settlements.
Those attending the annual Andrew Jackson Birthday Celebration on Saturday at Andrew Jackson State Park will get a brief glimpse of colonial cooking from demonstrations by the Cooking Guild of the Catawba Valley.
No one knows when or where the idea for Scripture Cake came from, but its ingredients are rooted in Bible verses.
The late Charlemae Hill Rollins believed it was so significant in her own life that she included the recipe for it in her book, "Christmas Gif': An Anthology of Christmas Poems, Songs and Stories, Written by and about Negroes."
Disappointed that there were so few written resources about the Christmas traditions she learned as a child in Yazoo City, Miss., Rollins wrote the anthology in 1963 to pass along what she had learned from her grandmother, a slave.
The two month wait is over. A shipment of more than 35,000 boxes of Caramel deLites, Cinna-Spins, Lemonades, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Shortbread, Thanks-A-Lot and Thin Mints arrived here late Saturday.
Eager local Girl Scouts from 25 troops and their leaders met a tractor trailer stacked high with some of America's favorite cookies at St. Luke United Methodist Church to unload them.
Nobody around town is happier about that than J.R. Snipes. For Snipes, it's cookie time.

I am doing the research on our Bergman side of the family. My cousin sent me this information:
I just found out there is a big Bergman group in the Adelaide area of Paso Robles. There is a whole cemetery dedicated to "Bergman's". Apparently they were all Mennonites.
Would you know about this cemetery?
Thank you,

Hi Mary and Ron,
I was reading your bio as I have a grandfather located in the Paso Robbles Cemetery and noticed that you did a photo of another relative there, Glen Burbidge. I was hoping that I might be able to impose upon you to photo this grave site for me? I am also anxious to see whom might be beside him.
Thank you so much for the work you are doing!

Hi Mary,
I am the Project & Publications Chair for the San Luis Obispo County Genealogical Society and as such have been working on indexing and photographing all of the Cemeteries in the County.
Since you and your husband have done Willow Creek, there is no need for us to repeat the process.
I am curious as to where you got your information for interments which have no headstone. I have an existing database that was done in 2003, so am adding interments which have existing headstones.
I am also finding that we indicate the presence of markers, but they do not appear to have been photographed.

Hello Mary and Ron,
I was so happy to see my families stones on line. I was able to connect the ones I had put on earlier, to each other via the family link button, but not all of them. My family is most of the Tuckers Hopper, and Drake. Tucker and Hopper Canyon, near Shandon, are named after these two families that are related to each other. Would it be possible for me to add some pics/relationships? Again thank you,

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy announced on Friday afternoon that they have waived defender Bryan Gaul ahead of the 2014 MLS season.
Gaul, who enjoyed a strong rookie season in 2012, struggled mightily in 2013 as he split time between the Galaxy, Ft. Lauderdale Strikers and the Carolina Railhawks. The 24-year-old was used primarily as a reserve this preseason for the Galaxy after failing to make a first team appearance last season.
Thoughts on Gaul?

In the four installment of Road to Morocco, the LA Galaxy and Club Tijuana discuss the importance of winning the CONCACAF Champions League.
Check out the latest video below.
Watch the previous editions here:
Episode 1: Visiting Club Tijuana
Episode 2: Battle for San Diego
Episode 3: L.A. vs. Tijuana: Taco challenge
U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann named his 24-man training camp roster for the March 5 match against Ukraine and left off the list were Galaxy stalwarts Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez.
The roster is predominantly European-based players with just two selections from MLS (Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey) but also includes Club Tijuana left back Edgar Castillo. The inclusion of Castillo is quite notable for Galaxy fans as the Xolos defender will log heavy mileage in the coming weeks with potential appearances in Tijuana's March 1 match against Veracruz, the U.S. friendly four days later, Tijuana's March 7 game against Chivas de Guadalajara, and finally the CONCACAF Champions League first leg against the LA at StubHub Center on March 12.
Also called up to the training squad is Florida-born Bayern Munich wunderkind Julian Green who is not yet eligible to appear for the U.S. due to his appearances in the German national youth set up.
The match which was moved away from Ukraine earlier in the week due to political unrest in that country will take place in Cyprus at Antonis Papadopoulous Stadium in the city of Larnica.
Check out the full roster below.
GOALKEEPERS: Cody Cropper (Southampton), Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton)
DEFENDERS: John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Alfredo Morales (Ingolstadt), Oguchi Onyewu (Sheffield Wednesday), Will Packwood (Birmingham City), Tim Ream (Bolton Wanderers)
MIDFIELDERS: Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Jermaine Jones (Besiktas), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Brek Shea (Barnsley), Danny Williams (Reading)
FORWARDS: Juan Agudelo (Utrecht), Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Terrence Boyd (Rapid Vienna), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Julian Green (Bayern Munich), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar)
The MLS season opener is fast approaching and on Thursday, the LA Galaxy unveiled their latest television spot titled "We are the LA Galaxy."
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy II won their second match on Wednesday with a 2-1 victory over NASL club Minnesota United FC in a closed door scrimmage.
Jack McBean scored once in both halves and former UC Irvine attacker Miguel Ibarra scored for Minnesota.
Minnesota United take on the Galaxy first team on Saturday in a closed-door scrimmage at StubHub Center.
Minnesota provided highlights to the match which can be seen below.
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy II will reportedly be adding yet another player to their roster in the coming weeks.
Sources close to the club tell LA Galaxy Insider that the USL PRO side is close to a deal with 22-year-old French defensive midfielder André Auras.
The French-Senegalese midfielder made 11 appearances for Stade Brestois 29 during the 2013 season. The French second division club announced on Wednesday that the former French youth international had declined his contact in order to sign a deal with the Galaxy.
On Wednesday, Galaxy II defeated NASL side Minnesota United 2-1 at the StubHub Center's Track and Field Stadium. LA Homegrown Player Jack McBean scored two goals in the victory.
The MLS Regular Season is upon us and before the start of the season, I'll be offering readers of LA Galaxy Insider, the chance to "Beat the Insider" in MLS Fantasy.
The rules of the game are simple as fans will simply need to make an entry in MLSsoccer.com's MLS Fantasy game and set their favorite team to Los Angeles Galaxy. By joining, you'll be entered into the club's supporters league and have a chance at a $200 dollar prize and as the season goes on, LAGalaxy.com will be providing additional prizes (think: jerseys, scarves and game tickets). Now, I'm a relative neophyte to Fantasy MLS, but I'll be taking this season seriously and will be providing fantasy MLS coverage throughout the 2014 season.
My team for the first week of the season is below.
Think that you've got what it takes to "Beat the Insider"? Be sure to join now.
The LA Galaxy's primary jersey will be unveiled on March 3 and on Wednesday, we take a second look at the club's new primary kit on LA Galaxy Insider.
Earlier in the week, we looked at the the Galaxy emblem on the back collar, now we take a look at the team's crest which is emblazoned with quasars. This effect means that the team's three jerseys will each have their own interpretation of the Galaxy crest with the second kit (and the training jersey) providing the classic blue and gold logo while the 1996-inspired third jersey depicts the logo in greyscale. The front of the jersey's collar can also be seen with the same gold and blue pattern that was seen on the back.
Remember, these jerseys can already be preordered on MLSGear.com.
Below is a video from the league that provides an initial glance at the new kits of 19 MLS teams.
Check it out.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's season opener is fast approaching and it appears that the team is rounding into fitness.
Goalkeeper Jaime Penedo (broken finger and abductor injury) and defender Todd Dunivant (hamstring injury) have returned to full training while Robbie Rogers (ankle injury) has begun running and according to head coach Bruce Arena will "be ready to go soon."
Penedo had been dealing with a broken pinky finger prior to the team's trip to Mexico, but during the team's trip to face Pumas UNAM, the Panamanian goalkeeper suffered an abductor injury that caused him to miss the club's next three preseason matches. However, the goalkeeper is bullish that he'll be ready to suit up once the March 8 season opener against Real Salt Lake rolls around and possibly as soon as Saturday's closed-door scrimmage against Minnesota United.
"I've been training in the gym [after the injury] but now I'm back with the team in training," said Penedo. "The opener is the goal and we're working for that, but we'll see what happens this weekend."
Another player who has returned to action is midfielder Stefan Ishizaki who has overcame a stomach illness that kept him bedridden for two days last week. Now with the season opener less than two weeks away, the Swede is hitting the gym to make up for lost time.
"Last week, it wasn't that good; I ate something bad and had to stay in bed for two days. I couldn't train so that set me back. This week, I've done a lot of extra work and I'm feeling better," said Ishizaki. "[The season opener] is almost two weeks away and I know that I can get a lot of extra work in during that time."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy added a new defender to their roster on Tuesday with the addition of veteran right back James Riley.
Following Tuesday's training session, head coach Bruce Arena stated that it was "safe to say" that Riley would be staying with the Galaxy after an impressive preseason, but the veteran defender went a step further stating that he put pen to paper just before heading out to training.
For the nine-year MLS veteran, the move to the Galaxy left him overjoyed.
"I'm ecstatic . It's been a work in progress, but I came with that goal in mind and I put pen to paper [Tuesday] morning," said Riley. "But I need to continue to work and earn the trust of my teammates, the club, the coaches and the fans. That's my objective."
This preseason, Riley has made five preseason appearances, playing almost entirely at left back due a hamstring injury to first team regular Todd Dunivant.
"He's having a good preseason with us. He's made a good impression and it's safe to say that we're going to keep him," said Arena. "He's a veteran player who can play both sides of the field and I think that he'll be a valuable player for us during the season."
The Galaxy still have yet to make a decision with their other outside back trialist Dan Gargan, who remains with the club and is likely to sign if LA can fit his contract under the league's salary cap.
"Still evaluating him," said Arena. 'He's another player that is experienced. He's had a few knocks over the last few weeks and we want to make sure that his fitness is good. We always have an exercise with the salary cap so we have to make sure that we can offer him a contract that keeps us compliant with the cap."
Thoughts on the signing of Riley? Think LA will keep Gargan?

Logitech's Story: Using Informatica to Overcome Three Salesforce Data Challenges
In recent blogs I've shared our customers' stories from Dreamforce. In particular, how they are building a trusted customer information foundation for salesforce.com to achieve their business objectives.
- Interstate Batteries' Story: How Can You Be #1 Without Trusted Customer Information?
- OppenheimerFunds' Story: Lay a Foundation of Trusted and Complete Customer Information for Salesforce
In this blog, I'll cover the presentation delivered by Logitech's Senior Manager, Data Engineering, Doctor of Business Administration, Steven Perelli-Minetti.
Logitech is a $2.32B global company providing consumer electronics to consumers and businesses in 100 countries. Their diverse but focused portfolio of products is sold via direct and indirect sales channels.
Steve explained that Logitech is an Oracle shop. They use Oracle e-Business Suite and Oracle BI. They were using Oracle OWB for data integration until they tried Informatica PowerCenter and realized it was a better fit for their data warehouse support and management.
1. Salesforce Challenge: Integrating Trade Promotion Data into an EDW
Logitech needed to support the business' need for trade promotion analytics and reporting as well as IT's need to keep the data safe and secure. They chose Informatica Cloud to replicate data from a custom trade promotion management (TPM) application on Force.com (PaaS), bring it into the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), and combine it with the Soft Dollar Accruals data from Oracle e-Business Suite and POS data.
Steven said the results have been pretty good. They went live in one month. There is little maintenance. It's subscription-based, which makes it cost effective. Unlike other offerings, they can scale the solution across any other systems.
2. Salesforce Challenge: Integrating Sales Data into an EDW
It's critical for Logitech to understand what's going on in their China business, which is an important emerging market. They use Informatica Cloud to integrate China's Salesforce data with the EDW so management can gain insight into market share at the store level for example.
3. Salesforce Challenge: Managing Trusted Product and Customer Data
Logitech needed to manage a single trusted version of product and customer data across on-premise systems, cloud applications and third party data providers. Now they use Informatica Data Quality and Informatica MDM to consolidate and manage business-critical data on an ongoing basis, which is used by on-premise systems and cloud applications such as Salesforce.
Join us for a live webinar on December 5: Logitech MDM Case Study: Seven Lessons for Mastering Product and Customer Data. Severin Stoll, Senior Business Engagement Manager of Global IT Solutions at Logitech will share seven lessons learned from their global master data management (MDM) implementation.
- Product data: Logitech uses Informatica MDM to consolidate product data (images, descriptions, features, dimensions) from various sources. With this trusted product data foundation, Logitech can ensure consistency of product information across websites managed by third party vendors in various languages across the globe, resulting in efficiencies for the marketing team.
- Customer data: Logitech uses Informatica MDM to consolidate customer data from POS systems via thousands of data providers in many variations, languages and character sets. With this trusted customer data foundation, Logitech has a clearer picture of how products flow through channel partners to end-consumers.
