About three weeks ago I was involved in a collision that left my car unable to be driven. I was in Houston for the weekend, but I live in Austin. Luckily my car was covered under the manufacturer's warranty which included free towing. Upon arrival the tow truck driver recomm...moreended Expro Auto Collision and stated that I would be able to get a rental immediately. Since I had other business in Houston that required a vehicle, I decided to go with the recommendation. Upon arrival I was introduced to Sal, one of the managers, who assured me that I could in fact drive off in a rental later that day. Sal was very helpful and understanding of the situation as I was a bit panicked and scatterbrained at the moment. My last car accident was over 6 years ago and it was a horrifying accident that resulted in three cars being totaled out. Consequently I was definitely shell-shocked. Sal was extremely helpful in walking me through the claim process with my insurance company and I did in fact drive off in a rental. I had to return t Austin because I am a graduate student there, and throughout the entire process, Sal kept me updated on the status of my car. I was able to pick it up yesterday and it looks brand new. I drive a manual Mustang that has unique over the top stripes that are a dealer exclusive. My car had been previously dinged in a hit and run incident in a parking lot so there was surface damage on my rear bumper. They were able to fix this as well as an extremely reasonable cost compared to the estimates I had received from other shops. The also maintained the integrity of my stripes which extend to the lower rear bumper. In addition Mustangs have custom cores for their tires and my car had distinctive rims as well. Everything was replaced to look completely new and my car is as gorgeous as it was when I bought it. Overall I couldn't be happier with the service I received. I appreciated how the shop handled everything with the insurance company. I was even picked up from the bus stop by someone from the shop which is definitely above and beyond regular service. Throughout the entire process Sal kept me updated and even dealt with spam calling from my mom. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone. My car was freshly washed when I picked it up which is something NONE of the Ford Dealerships in the Houston area have done for me regardless of how long they've kept my car. Definitely the best experience I could have hoped for given the circumstances! view less
Hen Le Auto Shop is probably the best kept secret for low income and frugal Honda and Toyota owners. Hen Le specialist mechanic who only works on Honda and Toyota vehicles. His shop is a one man operation. He works alone. He is not the mechanic for all Honda and Toyota owner...mores for all mechanical and technical maintenance repair needs. Since he works alone, he sometimes has more customers and work than he can complete in a day. So, you might have to make an appointment to have him work on your vehicle. Depending on the problem of the vehicle the customer might have to leave it with him for more than a day. So, if you want to leave your vehicle with him to be worked on, you need to arrange a ride home for yourself and a ride back to pick it up when the work is done. The location is not near conventient bus stops. There is no customer waiting room, nor are there convenient shopping or restaurants near the shop. But if you can be without your Honda or Toyota for a while, if you have more patience than cash and have alternate transportation, and if you still want good work done on your Honda or Toyota vehicle at a lower price than you will find any where else then you might want to talk with Hen Le and make an appointment with him to work on your vehicle. Otherwise, if you can't be without your Honda for more than a day, if you want to wait in a cusomer's waiting room for your vehicle in a place that has more than one mechanic on duty and be near shopping and restaurants while you wait, and still want to save some money and have good maintenance and repair work done on your Honda, then take it to Burden's Honda care on FM 1960 in Northwest Houston. I'm a happy customer at both of these places. Think about what I have said above and about what your needs are. Then talk with the mechanics at both places before you take your Honda anywhere else. view less
My brand new car is currently with Joe at Royal Collision. The entire right side needs repair and re-paint. Right from the start, dealing with Joe has been a pleasure. I explained to him the situation and what was wrong with the car and he said bring it in. First thing h...moree did was take me into the shop to show me the work that he does. There were Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, you name it, back there! He showed me a few almost finished cars and told me what damage they fixed…You would have thought it came right off the dealer lot! Joe is extremely nice and professional. Insurance companies suck, and he knows that, so he deals with them for you. He found some damage to the quarter panel that the insurance estimator did not include in the original estimate. He called and told me he will submit a supplement so that he can get the job done right. I have not even seen my car yet, but I know it will be 100% right. If you have dealt with shops around the area, you know they may not always keep you in the loop. Joe will, like I said, he already called me to tell me he is submitting a supplement. Joe runs a fantastic shop and I am excited to get my car back good as new!!! Royal Collision may not be on your Insurance's select service shop list, but that doesn't matter. Insurance will try to tell you that you should take it to one of their shops because if you have any issues with the work done, they will help. HA! Yeah they will help after you spend weeks trying to get someone to agree with you. Well guess what, you won't have a need to do any of that if you go to Royal Collision! Go to Royal Collision even if you live far away...It will be worth your while! I will be updating this review when I get my car back, but like I said earlier, I know it will be right and that's all that matters! view less

Prosecutor Barry Steelman told a Criminal Court jury Wednesday that Tory Nelson Nocho should spend the rest of his life in prison for murdering two fellow workers at the Burger King on Highway 153.
But defense attorney Christian Coder said someone else was involved in the brutal killings on the day after Christmas 2002.
Nocho earlier confessed to the murders of shift manager Lavonda Kay Holderby, 41, and her niece, Donna Holderby, 16, and pleaded guilty.
A jury in the courtroom of Judge Steve Bevil is hearing testimony and will decide whether he gets life without the possibility of parole or a life term in which he would be eligible for parole consideration after serving 51 years.
Leonard Holderby, who had been married to Kay Holderby for almost 21 years, said he went to the Burger King that morning after getting off a night shift at K-Mart on Highway 58. He said his wife and her niece were there along with Nocho, who was cooking.
He said nothing seemed out of the ordinary when he left between 7:30 and 8 a.m.
Mr. Holderby said he received a call from a detective that afternoon and was told he needed to come down because there had been "an accident." He said while driving to the fast food unit he heard on the radio there had been a double murder there.
"I knew it had to be them," he said.
Mr. Holderby said the family is still "very angry" over the murders. He said, "It's changed our entire lives. We hardly go anywhere anymore."
He said of his wife, "You couldn't ask for anybody sweeter." He said he met her after his mother invited her over for dinner on Easter. They later had their first date and got married a week later.
They did not have children, but he said Kay Holderby was "like a mother" to Donna, who was described as mentally challenged.
Barbara Higgins said she and two others went to the Burger King that morning, and Nocho and the two Holderbys were there.
She said Kay Holderby seemed upset, and she said she was looking for Donna. Mrs. Higgins said she looked in both bathrooms and out by the dumpster, but could not locate her.
She said she went back inside, and no one was around. She said, "I called 'Yoohoo.' She said Nocho came out and said she had been found "in the freezer."
Paula Williamson, manager of that unit, said Kay Holderby called her that morning to discuss ordering food. She said she did not indicate anything was wrong, except that one male worker had not shown up.
She said she got a call about 3 p.m. that afternoon from the assistant manager, Kim Bradley, who had gone to the store and found it dark and locked. Ms. Williamson said she told her to go back to the store and wait on police.
Ms. Williamson said she drove to the unit and found it roped off. She said she was told there was one person killed, then was advised it was two. "I almost fainted," she said.
She stated, "I kept saying, 'Where is Tory? Where is Tory?' The next thing they said to me, he did it."
She said she was shown photos of the bodies, but she was only able to identify them "because of the clothes and shapes of the bodies because they were so mutilated."
Prosecutor Steelman said Nocho hit Kay Holderby in the head with a hammer, and he said Donna then tried to get away. He said Nocho caught her and bashed her head against the wall of the freezer. He said Nocho left her, but returned to the freezer and cut her throat. She was left in the freezer and when her body was found "it was basically frozen."
He said Nocho took some money from the store before leaving in Kay Holderby's car.
He said a towel was found at Nocho's residence that had the blood of Kay Holderby on it.
The prosecutor said, "Because of what he did, he deserves nothing less than to go to prison and stay there forever."
Attorney Coder, of the public defender's office, told the jury that Nocho had involvement in the slayings, but "somebody else killed these people."
He said authorities zeroed in on Nocho, "and they didn't look any further."
He said Nocho's mother lived with several different men, including some who abused Nocho and his brother, Jamey Nocho. He said Nocho only met his real father once after he had entered the Tennessee Baptist Children's Home, where he lived from 1990-1995.
Nocho was 23 when the slayings occurred.

Two Manawatu schools have been red-flagged in government audits for failing to file their financial accounts on time, with one saying it is due to book-keeping blunders caused by bureaucracy.
Feilding High School and Hato Paora College were both highlighted in a recently-released auditor-general's report for not having completed their 2012 audits by the due date of February 28 this year.
They were two of 30 schools noted from the 2480 New Zealand schools and subsidiaries audited.
Feilding High School said no funds had been misused or misappropriated, rather historical record keeping was under dispute.
Hato Paora College said the school had been extra vigilant after problems in its audit last year, which may have caused delays.
Schools prepare their financial statements annually, and they are due on December 31. They are expected to send drafts to the auditor by March 31 the following year, as well as audited statements to the Ministry of Education by May 31.
Feilding High School failed to meet the deadlines because of ownership queries surrounding the school's hostel and teaching farms, which led to unaccounted-for funds, principal Roger Menzies said.
"There was quite a significant amount of money that should be on our books, if it's owned by us, and there was conjecture around that."
There were question marks surrounding who owned the land of the co-educational boarding school's hostel buildings and two teaching farms - an 81-hectare sheep and cattle farm in the hill country near Feilding, and a 16ha dairy farm adjacent to the school on Churcher St in Feilding.
Menzies said this led to a "standoff", with the Ministry of Education asking the school to prove its possession, and the school asking the ministry to do the same.
The confusion was due to difficulties in locating records from central government, property depreciation and concerns about cyclical maintenance, Menzies said. "There have been major issues around ownership - it's a bit of a bureaucratic mess," he said. "We've got plenty of money to run the school and that's the important thing . . . we're just talking book entries."
The school's report had since been filed and issues with the auditor-general's office had been ironed out.
"I don't know how we get to the bottom of who owns what, but we've come to an arrangement with the auditor to submit our reports," Menzies said. He could not state the exact figure of how much in land value was being disputed but said: "We're talking millions".
The ministry's head of education infrastructure services, Kim Shannon, said there had been discussion about what should appear on the school's balance sheet or the Crown's.
The ministry had passed "beneficial ownership" of the hostel over to the school but the school mentioned some land may have been "gifted" by a community member, Shannon said.
"We are not disputing the school's claim but our records indicate the site is ministry-owned and we would be happy to see any records the school might have that indicate otherwise."
An auditor-general's office spokeswoman said adjustments were made to the school's financial statements to allow the audit to be completed based on the inclusion of the hostel buildings on the school's balance sheet.
Hato Paora board chairman Peter Douglas said that after the school was last year labelled in breach of the Education Act for board mismanagement, it was very particular about this year's audit.
The integrated school took the unusual step of combining its constitutionally-separate boards last year, joining the trustees' work with that of the proprietors, bringing together about 20 people, but there had been issues around record keeping and conflicts of interest.
The school had since taken measures to separate the two governing bodies and to ensure the book work was accurate.
"We had a more thorough audit than normal because we were making sure the measures we'd taken were adequate," he said.
"It's debilitating getting a tag on your audit . . . I hope we've done a sufficient amount to satisfy them, because our intent is right."

The invention relates to a field device for automation systems of the type of the main claim.
In automation systems, field devices are used which serve for example to record process parameters and/or to influence regulation parameters and which are connected via one or more interfaces to other field devices or to higher planes of the automation system. Generally the field device comprises a unit for internal data organisation, one or more communication interfaces (1-n), one or more process interfaces (1-n), (0-n) man-machine interfaces, elements for signal processing and (0-n) persistent memories, the interfaces, the elements for signal processing and the persistent memory having access to data in the unit for internal data organisation. The expressions in brackets give the number of the respective elements, but obviously a field device can contain other constituent parts, such as power supply, mechanical elements and the like.
The unit for internal data organisation as well as the persistent memory contain the process image with process variables, configuration parameters for communication, the program or programs to be used, stored fixed values of the parameters used in the process image or the like. The process interfaces record the measured variables or respectively give the regulation parameters for the automation process; the elements for signal processing, which are configured for example as functional components, process the measured variables and/or regulation parameters, and the communication interfaces, which can be configured for bus systems, serve to communicate with other devices. The man-machine interfaces are realised for example by a local control display or a local input unit or by switches. The unit for internal data organisation and the persistent memory are formed by a microprocessor system. All the data-processing components of the field device, i.e. all the interfaces, and the signal processing work on the internal data organisation, i.e. they read and write the data stock there.
Field devices are used in all the fields of automation, e.g. process industries, such as the chemical industry, power stations or in manufacturing industries, such as vehicle construction. These devices are for example sensors (pressure, temperature, filling level, . . . ), actuators (valves, converters, motors, . . . ) and more.
As an example of a simple field device can be quoted a sensor for measuring concentrations which comprises a vibrating quartz crystal, an oscillator, a microprocessor system having memories and timing circuits and the like, as well as a serial interface and a power supply for all the elements. Here the vibrating quartz crystal represents the process interface; it detects additions of mass by the alteration of an oscillation frequency and converts it into an electrical signal. The signal processing is carried out via the oscillator and the microprocessor system, the latter also representing the internal data organisation and the persistent memory as well as, together with the serial interface, the communication interface. In the described example there is no man-machine interface. The vibrating quartz crystal detects the addition of mass and the concentration is determined, the concentration value being capable of being transmitted via the serial interface to other components of the automation system, or regulation parameters can be calculated in the concentration sensor itself and these parameters can be transmitted to actuators via the interface.
In principle, the data and functions of field devices in automation systems are used by other field devices or other automation components; these are e.g. installation tools, tools for service/maintenance, control systems, stored program controls, other field devices, ERP systems, MES systems and more (ERP—Enterprise Resource Planning; MES—Manufacturing Execution System).
When field devices are used there are a number of problems which are described below, the problems arising both through external users, i.e. through other components of the automation system, and through internal users. A user has access via the constituent parts of the field device to its internal data organisation. Internal users are the described constituent parts of the field device. External users are automation components or their constituent parts or other field devices or their constituent parts or constituent parts of the process in an automation system which are connected to the field device via the communication, process or man-machine interfaces. User access can be triggered by the automation system itself, by people using it or by the process to be automated.
Inconsistencies due to simultaneous reading/writing of a datum of the internal data organisation by a plurality of users, e.g.
Inconsistency due to reading/writing of logically associated data of the internal data organisation by one user in a plurality of steps (e.g. measured value plus status or lower and upper limit values or measured value and unit or set of parameters), e.g.
Lack of the possibility of producing a defined original state in carrying out a plurality of writing/reading operations in sequence, when the user requires this, e.g.:
Lack of consistency of the internal data organisation of a field device with
When practical automation tasks are solved with the aid of field devices, the above-mentioned problems occur in any combinations. The solution for the described problems therefore becomes more urgent since field devices are no longer used only in isolation or connected for communication 1:1, but to an increasing extent permit communication with a plurality of users. The increasing integration into higher planes of automation technique (e.g. for asset management) contributes to this.
The object underlying the invention, therefore, is to create a field device for automation systems, with which device conflicts in simultaneous parallel access to the internal data organisation are avoided.
This object is accomplished according to the invention by the characterising features of the main claim in conjunction with the features of the preamble.
Because a transaction manager unit, which manages blockings, transactions and/or other users, is provided in the field device to control the access by the means for recording process parameters and/or for outputting regulation parameters and the means for signal processing and by the at least one communication interface to the data of the unit for internal data organisation, between the means as well as the at least one communication interface and the unit for internal data organisation, many problems in the access to the data can be prevented, in particular access can be made without any problem to data which is changed in parallel, which is not released, which is inconsistent. Furthermore losing the changes is avoided, and it is made possible to ensure consistent states, or respectively to return to same.
Through the measures quoted in the subordinate claims, advantageous development and improvements are possible. It is particularly advantageous that the transaction manager unit comprises a transaction/service entity, which uses and makes available at least one transaction protocol, through which the propagation of transactions with other transaction managers is rendered possible and thus distributed transactions are permitted.
An embodiment of the invention is represented in the drawing and is explained in greater detail in the following description. The figures show:
The field device 1 represented in
Both internal users, which can be the constituent parts 4 to 7 of the field device, and external users, which can communicate via the indicated double-headed arrows 9 of the communication interface 3, of the man-machine interface 5 and of the process interface 4, have recourse to the transaction manager unit 8.
The transaction manager unit 8 has a plurality of management functions, which are deposited for example in table form or the like in a microprocessor system. These management functions include the management of users, the management of blockings and the management of transactions. The management of users includes the introduction and removal of users, the allocation of rights for the individual users and ensuring the rights are maintained. Naturally further user-specific management processes which are not listed are possible.
Under the management of blockings falls for example the requesting and release of blockings, the allocation of blockings to data or objects of the internal data organisation, the definition of the blockings e.g. exclusive blockings, for example for reading and writing, or divided blockings, for example for reading, as well as ensuring the maintenance of blockings.
The transactions managed by the transaction manager unit relate to transactions which are based on blockings, initiation, breaking-off, i.e. the rejection of the results, terminating, i.e. the confirmation of the results, the allocation of blockings, access to objects of the internal data organisation, ensuring at least two-phase transactions and other synchronisation mechanisms, e.g. its versioning of objects, time stamp. A transaction ensures the consistency of the internal data organisation via a non-interruptible sequence of access to its objects.
The functions which are mapped on the communication protocols used in each case are made available by suitable services/protocols to external users which have access via the communication interface(s) 3.
The transaction service entity 13 is provided to render possible the coordination with other transaction managers via a transaction protocol. This transaction protocol, which is for example the Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP), is stored in the transaction manager 8 or respectively in the microprocessor system, the transaction service entity transforming or mapping the data arriving and leaving, as indicated by the double-headed arrow 16, according to the rules of the transaction protocol. The transaction protocol will be mapped for communication with other transaction managers onto the communication protocol or protocols used. Through the possible coordination, distributed transactions can be realised, and the propagation of transactions with other transaction managers is rendered possible.
In this example according to
Due to the request according to step 101, a blocking is produced and its blocking ID is passed back to the user according to step 102. In the management of blockings 11, an attempt is made to block the object according to the requested rights and this process is repeated until it is successful. If it has been possible to block the object, which can take some time depending on blockings for other users, the user is informed about this according to step 103, i.e. a confirmation "blocking", issued in conjunction with the blocking ID, is supplied to the user. Thereafter access by the user to the object is possible by the user and the name of the object or respectively the data is supplied to the management of blockings 11 according to step 104, which checks the rights and if they do not agree possibly rejects them. Then the object access according to step 105 is passed on to the internal data organisation 2, which supplies the data via step 106 to the management of blockings 11, which in turn passes the data on to the user with step 107. The actual object access, which is indicated by box 108, can be repeated several times. On conclusion of the access to the object, the user releases the blocking, according to step 109.
A further example of a sequence chart is shown in
In this example, a transaction is started by a user, which corresponds to step 111 between the user or respectively the user management and the management of transactions. Step 112 represents the response. The steps 115 to 121 represented in box 113 correspond substantially to steps 101 to 107 of
In variant A, the user decides to break off the transaction. Thus the local data copies (123, 124) are removed and all the blockings are released. The user is informed about the outcome that its data access has been rejected (131).
According to variant B, the user decides to hand over the transactions (step 125). Thus the local data copies in the unit for managing transactions are stored in the internal data organisation device 2 via the unit for managing blockings, and removed locally (128) as well as, according to step 129, all the blockings being released. Step 130 notifies the removal of the blockings back to the user.
An automation component fulfils tasks such as serving, observing, regulation, control, archiving, asset management and many other tasks. A typical example is a PC or work station-based process control system in the control room.
An automation component is connected via communication systems to other automation components and field devices.
Automation components 21 and field devices 22, 24 here have a transaction manager 8.
Automation component 20 uses the functions of the transaction manager 8 of the field device 22 (blockings, transactions, users). Automation component 21 uses the transaction protocol in order to synchronise its internal transaction manager 8 with that of the field device 22 (distributed transactions), the transaction protocol being mapped for this purpose onto the communication protocol.
Field device 23 uses the functions of the transaction manager of field device 22 (blockings, transactions, users). Field device 24 uses the transaction protocol in order to synchronise its internal transaction manager 8 with that of field device 22 (distributed transactions).
Automation components and field devices can be in an m:n relationship to one another. Different versions can occur together in one automation system.
Due to the introduction of the transaction manager and of the transaction protocol in field devices, the problems which were described initially can be solved. Inter alia, the following causes of faults are prevented:

iPhone 4 survives 13,500-foot fall from skydiver's pocketAfter slipping out of a skydiver's pocket, one of Apple's iPhone 4 units survived a 13,500-foot drop and can still make and receive calls.
Jarrod McKinney said he was in such a rush to "get out the door" of the plane on a recent skydiving trip that he forgot to secure his iPhone 4, CNN reports. "I just knew it was gone. Falling from that height? (What are) the chances of you finding something like that or even knowing where to look?" he said.
But, after touching down, McKinney used a "GPS tracking app" to locate the device, which had landed on the roof of a building roughly a half-mile away.
Skydiving instructor Joe Johnson called the phone as a joke and was surprised when the call actually went through. The device, which had been cracked once before after a tumble off a bathroom shelf, is still able to make and receive calls, despite the fact that its front and back glass surfaces had shattered. The handset had been protected by a Incipio-branded case that was broken on impact.
McKinney plans to fix the screen, but, for now, uses the BlueTooth connection in his truck to make calls.
Jarrod McKinney's iPhone 4 survived a 13,500-foot fall
Johnson was impressed by the iPhone's durability and said he plans to purchase one for himself. "It goes to show you if I crash land and need an ambulance, they can still track me down with the GPS," he said.
When contacted for the report, Consumer Reports editor Mike Gikas quipped that McKinney had found a way to resolve the phone's reception problems, which caused a firestorm of controversy last year. Dropping the smartphone from a plane is "the proved method for fixing the antenna problem," Gikas joked.
Last year, the consumer-focused publication ranked the iPhone 4 the best smartphone available, but it rescinded its recommendation after in-house testing showed the device was susceptible to signal-loss when gripped a certain way.

Last Updated: Monday, January 21, 2013 - 15:13
London: Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez was spotted enjoying a break from her hectic schedule with her four-year-old twins in Miami.
The twins were clicked playing in a Miami swimming pool when they were hanging out with their mother and a few family members, reported Daily Mail.
The 43-year-old singer looked on as her son Max hugged his sister and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Wearing a white jumpsuit and a colourful headscarf, Lopez chatted with the adults nearby and played with her cell phone.

Iran has launched a live monkey into space, seeking to show off missile systems that have alarmed the West because the technology could potentially be used to deliver a nuclear warhead.
The Defence Ministry announced the launch as world powers sought to agree a date and venue with Iran for resuming talks to resolve a standoff with the West over Tehran's contested nuclear program before it degenerates into a new Middle East war.
Efforts to nail down a new meeting have failed repeatedly and the powers fear Iran is exploiting the diplomatic vacuum to hone the means to produce nuclear weapons.
The Islamic Republic denies seeking weapons capability and says it seeks only electricity from its uranium enrichment so it can export more of its considerable oil wealth.
The powers have proposed new talks in February, a spokesman for the European Union's foreign policy chief said hours after Russia urged all concerned to "stop behaving like children" and commit to a meeting.
Iran earlier in the day denied media reports of a major explosion at one of its most sensitive, underground enrichment plants, describing them as Western propaganda designed to influence the nuclear talks.
The Defence Ministry said the space launch of the monkey coincided "with the days of" the Prophet Mohammad's birthday, which was last week, but gave no date, according to a statement carried by the official news agency IRNA.
The launch was "another giant step" in space technology and biological research "which is the monopoly of a few countries", the statement said.
The small grey monkey was pictured strapped into a padded seat and being loaded into the Kavoshgar rocket dubbed Pishgam (Pioneer) which state media said reached a height of more than 120km.
"This shipment returned safely to Earth with the anticipated speed along with the live organism," Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi told the semi-official Fars news agency.
"The launch of Kavoshgar and its retrieval is the first step towards sending humans into space in the next phase."
There was no independent confirmation of the launch.
The West worries that long-range ballistic technology used to propel Iranian satellites into orbit could be put to use dispatching nuclear warheads to a target.
Bruno Gruselle of France's Foundation for Strategic Research said that if the monkey launch report were true it would suggest a "quite significant" engineering feat by Iran.
"If you can show that you are able to protect a vehicle of this sort from re-entry, then you can probably protect a military warhead and make it survive the high temperatures and high pressures of re-entering," Gruselle said.
The monkey launch would be similar to sending up a satellite weighing about 2,000kg, he said. Success would suggest a capacity to deploy a surface-to-surface missile with a range of a few thousand kilometres.
Michael Elleman, a missile expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies think-tank, said Iran had demonstrated "no new military or strategic capability" with the launch.
"Nonetheless, Iran has an ambitious space exploration program that includes the goal of placing a human in space in the next five or so years and a human-inhabited orbital capsule by the end of the decade," Elleman said.
"Today's achievement is one step toward the goal, albeit a small one."
The Islamic Republic announced plans in 2011 to send a monkey into space, but that attempt was reported to have failed.
Nuclear-weapons capability requires three components - enough fissile material such as highly enriched uranium, a reliable weapons device miniaturised to fit into a missile cone, and an effective delivery system, such as a ballistic missile that can grow out of a space launch program.
Iran's efforts to develop and test ballistic missiles and build a space launch capability have contributed to Israeli calls for pre-emptive strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and billions of dollars of U.S. ballistic missile defence spending.
A spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the powers had offered a February meeting to Iran, after a proposal to meet at the end of January was refused.
"Iran did not accept our offer to go to Istanbul on January 28 and 29 and so we have offered new dates in February. We have continued to offer dates since December. We are disappointed the Iranians have not yet agreed," Michael Mann reporters.
He said Iranian negotiators had imposed new conditions for resuming talks and that EU powers were concerned this might be a stalling tactic. The last in a sporadic series of fruitless talks was held last June.
Iranian officials deny blame for the delays and say Western countries squandered opportunities for meetings by waiting until after the US presidential election in November.
"We have always said that we are ready to negotiate until a result is reached and we have never broken off discussions," IRNA quoted Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi as saying.
Salehi has suggested holding the next round in Cairo but said the powers wanted another venue. He also said that Sweden, Kazakhstan and Switzerland had offered to host the talks.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a news conference: "We are ready to meet at any location as soon as possible. We believe the essence of our talks is far more important (than the site), and we hope that common sense will prevail and we will stop behaving like little children."
Ashton is overseeing diplomatic contacts on behalf of the powers hoping to persuade Tehran to stop higher-grade uranium enrichment and accept stricter UN inspections in return for civilian nuclear cooperation and relief from UN sanctions.

Yahoo gets in World Cup mood with themed toolbar
Toolbars, some people love 'em and some people hate 'em. If you're in the love camp, and you're also looking forward to the action getting underway in South Africa then Yahoo's World Cup toolbar could be just the ticket.
At the moment it will keep you updated with all of the news from the tournament and once the matches begin on 11 June, it will also keep you updated with all of the live scores. From the score update there will also be links to Yahoo's excellent matchcasts. Plus, there's a button that links directly to Yahoo's fantasy football competition so you can check how well your team is doing.
You can also skin your toolbar with the colours and flag of any of the 32 nations that will be competing for the famous trophy.
David Ko, Yahoo's senior VP of audience and mobile said: "The World Cup evokes more passion than any other sporting event in existence, and as the historic 2010 event in South Africa approaches, Yahoo is rolling out its first global initiative to deliver the most captivating, engaging experience to soccer fans around the world.
"By delivering uninterrupted access to soccer coverage, scores, games, events, and athletes to fans around the world and in their own language, Yahoo continues to execute on its vision to be the centre of people's online lives".
Strong words indeed for what is basically a news ticker. But if you like toolbars, and you like football it makes sense to grab yourself the Yahoo World Cup toolbar. It's free, and it works on IE or Firefox. Get it here.

Speaking on camera for the first time since she was shot in the head in January, US Representative Gabrielle Giffords said she feels "pretty good," in an excerpt of an ABC interview shown Thursday (local time).
Asked how she felt, Giffords answered, "pretty good."
"It's difficult," she responded when journalist Diane Sawyer asked whether rehabilitation had been painful or hard.
Giffords spoke clearly and smiled broadly in the preview of a TV special to be broadcast Monday.
She was wearing a yellow top with gold buttons and dark eyeglasses. Her brown hair has grown out since it was shaved after the shooting.
Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, was shot at a public event for constituents in Tucson. Jared Lee Loughner has been charged in the shooting spree that killed six people and wounded 12.
Giffords has been in rehabilitation in Houston and had made few public appearances in the 10 months since she was wounded.
At a ceremony in Washington last month, Giffords awarded her husband, Navy Captain Mark Kelly, two medals to honor his 25 years of service with the Navy and Nasa.
ABC said its special presentation will be broadcast in conjunction with the release on November 15 of a memoir by the couple titled, "Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope."

Sharp Galapagos ebook tablets priced and dated
Sharp has announced that the Galapagos ebook-based tablet will go on sale in Japan on 10 December.
The tablet will be available in two sizes and run via Android (version unconfirmed, although we've heard conflicting reports mentioning 2.1 or 2.2), although it sits more in line with traditional ebook readers.
First up is a mobile 5.5-inch LCD device, that has a 1024 x 600 resolution and has a track-ball for turning pages. It comes in two colours: silver or red.
The bigger, 10.8-inch, HD (1366 x 800) LCD screen version supports a two-page, magazine spread format and is available only in black.
Both devices are XMDF compatible and have 802.11b/g Wi-Fi on board. They feature "Automatic Scheduled Delivery Service" for periodical publications - meaning you can get your favourite newspapers or magazines auto-downloaded if you pay the relevant fees.
They come with a web browser and social networking apps pre-installed and "PC data", which means that docs and maps can be converted to XMDF format and viewed on the device.
The 5.5-incher is priced up at 39,800 yen (about £303) and the 10.8-inch one will cost 54,800 yen (£417). As mentioned, both are set to hit Japanese stores on 10 December, and we've still heard nothing official regarding a UK launch.
