NOAA / NWS's Meteorological Development Laboratory
Degrib (NDFD GRIB2 Decoder)
|NDFD Home
Subject: degrib version 0.90
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 13:04:41 -0500
From: "Arthur.Taylor"
Organization: DOC/NOAA/NWS - National Weather Service
To: Arthur Taylor
You all have the unique distinction of being registered on my degrib
mailing list (all 8 of us) (I'd like to welcome rdale, rwb, and Clark
Safford to the list). Since you are a member, you get this email...
Please let me know if you want to unregister.
I have just finished version "0.90" (last one was "0.85" on 11/20/2002)
New to this release:
1) Moved the web site from 22.214.171.124/degrib/ to
2) Fixed a number of minor bugs, including a correction for the naming
of "SNOW"
3) Introduced a -Unit option which allows one to output the data in F
instead of K. Use "-Unit english" for F, Knots, inches, "-Unit metric"
for C, m/s, m. Use "-Unit none" to get no unit conversion... (Useful if
the people who packed it didn't actually store a temperature in K like
they are supposed to). The default is now "-Unit english"
4) Handled a major bug with the Windows version... For second order
differencing the FORTRAN code needs an automatic array on the order of
2.8 megs. However the code on a PC was compiled with 2 megs of stack
space. It crashes (only on the PC). After some dead ends I finally
realized that I could use the option "-Wl,--stack,4000000" in my
makefile to get gcc to grab 4 megs of stack space. The code works now.
The following currently only affects the command line version:
5) Added a "-msg all" or "-msg 0" option to convert all the messages in
the file.
6) Added a "-namePath" option to allow one to use the -nameStyle but
store the files in a different directory.
7) Added a "-nameStyle 3" option (A new nameStyle to be compatible with
NDFD imageGen)
8) Added a "-P" option to allow one to probe a given lat/lon point in
all the messages in the file. It does this by linearly interpolating
the surrounding cells to that point. May want to do a nearest neighbor
instead. Also the -pntFile option is not working yet.
9) As always, tested on PC, Linux, HP-Unix, and AIX-Unix. Although I
may have missed something in my testing, it should at least compile, and
run for some of the test cases.
What this means to you... Your current tcldegrib should work fine. It
is, however, using one of the dead ends that I traversed, and you don't
have the -P option (command line only), so although it should function
fine, you might want the current release.
What this means to you... I again have compiled current versions in
~taylor/degrib/bin on rainbow (HP-GDP), in ~taylor/degrib/bin on bd10
(linux), and in /nfsuser/g06/we25at/degrib/bin on Suitland's IBM. So
again, you shouldn't need to download the code or compile it yourself.
Did my suggestions about ArcView help with regards to your "one solid
If you are using the MS-Windows version, then I would definitely
recommend .90 over any of the earlier releases, mainly because of item

When I gave birth to my third child in August 2010, I was determined to breastfeed. I had problems with my first child and we only lasted (part time) until he was four months old. With my second child, we had more success – but we only lasted until 7 months. One of my issues was flat nipples (not painful, I swear), so when I was about to give birth to my third child, I found Lansinoh's LatchAssist ($7 -$10) and it was such a lifesaver!
If you are breastfeeding and having some problems with flat or inverted nipples, Lansinoh's LatchAssist Nipple Everter is for you. Instead of hooking up your breast pump and using it to "get things going", the Latch Assist will do the same thing. Using this product enabled me to breastfeed him without nipple shields or pumping before a feed to get my breasts ready. Eventually we didn't need it as my body and milk supply did their work.
What I loved: No batteries required, just hold your breast, attach the Nipple Everter to your nipple and "pump" several times to draw the nipple out. Then nurse your baby. So simple, but will help moms that have flat or inverted nipples.
What to watch out for: It's little, so if it falls under your glider or bed, you may lose it. Also, if may not be discreet enough to use out in public (but does come with a protective case if you need to take it anywhere). You can use it one handed, especially if you're holding your baby, about to nurse — but I found it easier to hold my breast. Also, it's not a breast pump and you shouldn't feed your baby with any of the milk you may draw out of your breast.
Thumbs up or down? Thumbs up — for what it does and it's reasonable price, moms who need the assistance should have it on hand.
How much and where to buy: Around $11, widely available in big box baby stores.
So, what do you think? Would you use this if you were having the problem I did?
I was gifted with this product by Lansinoh Laboratories when my third child was born. The review and opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this post.

Poor Miley Cyrus Poses in a Wedding Dress She'll Probably Never Wear
See that right there, guys? That's Miley Cyrus, in a wedding dress, captured in a photo that she posted on Twitter. That's what that is. And yet, arriving right on the heels of even more breakup rumors, Liam Hemsworth showed up at her house last night, and his vehicle stayed parked there for multiple hours, eyewitnesses say.
So what's even happening here? Well, wait -- this is what's happening here: nobody knows, but it's like that old adage -- sh-- or get off the pot. It's obviously none of our business as to whether she and Liam are still trying to keep their crappy flame of love alive or not, and naturally, nobody owes us any explanation, but come on. Could things be more unclear at this point? This thing just needs to get resolved once and for all, man.
Back to the photo, though -- Miley posted it on Twitter. That's all we really know, and there are one of two scenarios happening here: Miley's either channeling her very best "Like a Virgin" for her new music, which is just so original, or she's sad and desperate and in need of attention and knows that she'll get it if she wears the one thing that she'll probably never wear with Liam.
Young love, guys. So complicated. So poignant. So ... annoying.

Hard punches and soft-peddling by JSC in Con Court interviews
As interviews in the selection of a new Constitutional Court judge came to an end, Ray Zondo appeared to hold an advantage over his three rivals.
As interviews in the selection of a new Constitutional Court judge came to an end, Ray Zondo appeared to hold an advantage over his three rivals.
With only four candidates applying for a vacancy at the Constitutional Court, there are rumours that Ray Zondo will merely rubberstamp appointments.
Justice Minister Jeff Radebe's plans to make judges declare their financial interests have been sharply criticised by top members of the judiciary.
The Supreme Court of Appeal on Wednesday reserved judgement in the dispute between Thint and the national director of public prosecutions over the seizure of documents from the French arms company. State counsel Wim Trengove argued before the Bloemfontein court for the necessity of the search warrants.
A director of French arms company Thint always cooperated with investigators probing alleged corruption and fraud in South Africa's multibillion-rand arms deal, the Supreme Court of Appeal heard on Wednesday. "Mr [Pierre] Moynot has at all times offered the investigating team his kind and affable cooperation," said Thint lawyer Peter Hodes.
The Supreme Court of Appeal reserved judgement on Tuesday in the dispute between Jacob Zuma and the National Prosecuting Authority over warrants used to seize documents from the former deputy president. Zuma's lawyer, Kemp J Kemp, said the search warrants were "overbroad".

Is Google TV Just an Unprotected Desktop Running Chrome 5?
Posted on 10. Oct, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey. 1 Comments
A lot of hype has gone into the launch of Google TV, with a first glimpse of all sort of whiz-bang features coming during this year's Google I/O developer conference. In the time since we've seen various demos from Google's managers culminating in the release of a Logitech set top box for $299 and a $1899 Sony HDTV on DISH Network to start things off.
But what is Google TV other than a desktop computer? When the Logitech Revue box hit the FCC, the mobile computing blog Lilliputing remarked on how closely the internal components resembled that of a nettop, which is a basically a small form factor mobile desktop. Let's see: Intel Atom processor, extra USB ports and 4GB of RAM. All that's missing here is some Windows action.
And that's the difference. In Lance Ulanoff's PCMag piece "Google TV's Dark Side"; he expresses his concern about possible threats attacking the Google TV box, causing a user unconscionable havoc.
Video: Sony's Google-Powered HDTV
Posted on 06. Sep, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey. 0 Comments
AndroidandMe has video from IFA Berlin on the Sony HDTV that is powered by Google TV. It's a 46-inch model with some interesting design quirks such as an all-white rear panel and metal brackets that prop the TV up.
Expected to launch in the United States on DISH Network this fall, Google TV is going to wrap satellite services and online video all into one service powered by Android and Chrome. Sony taped up all the ports, and you couldn't actually use the Google TV functionality. Oh well.
Can Android be a Compliment to Chrome OS or Vice Versa?
Posted on 02. Aug, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey. 1 Comments
News out today that the adoption of Android is up over a staggering 886% from last year is leading me to wonder: what place will cloud devices that run Chrome OS have in a future world where a smartphone operating system is so prevalent? Can Chrome OS and Android work together, or are they rivals being pitted against each other by a single company?
Remote Devices
Phones and tablets that run Android are remote devices, something that, in theory can be put into your pocket and taken anywhere.
We've seen in a demo how Android will work with Google TV – it can be used as a remote device that can control the set-top box controlling your television. Remember that while Google TV will run Android, it will also have the Chrome browser as the main application running video. Here is an example filmed by Phandroid on how this will work.
While this demo shows an iPhone, it's clear that an Android phone will be able to do much more based on the open standards between devices such as the Chrome to Phone cloud platform.
Cloud versus Phone
People are still going to need devices that are bigger than what Android can provide, plus being able to offer a cloud interface where the web is a platform that everyone can develop on. Witness some of the games like Asteroid and collaborative drawing tools that are being made for the browser totally free for people to use in Chrome Experiments, a website that I admit I promote often here because of the potential it holds.
I'm fully convinced that Android can offer a cloud experience like Chrome OS can; there has to be a division between screens that are small and those that are larger. Perhaps Android running Chrome browser could bridge the gap, but that really goes against the convention of cloud computing at this point.
So where will these two operating systems fit in with each other? Perhaps it is best to think of Chrome OS as an experimental platform whereby the browser is all there is: a starting point, if you wish, on the future of computing.
Sergey Brin has already come out and said that webapps will replace native ones, but technological progress in speedy broadband technology is going to be required. Companies such as Clear, which is spending billions on a 4G rollout that Sprint is utilizing, will probably have a major role in this space as 2010 continues onward towards the holiday season.

Marion's median rent is inexpensive compared to a lot of cities – $605 a month. Can you believe that's the median rent? Yup, there are apartment rentals even less expensive than that, so let's start there.
You'll find inexpensive apartments all over town, and for as little as $375 a month you can snag a small, one bedroom, one bath apartment rental. The complex on Canby Court even has utilities included in this bare-minimum rent. Although they aren't dog-friendly apartments, they do allow cats.
If you need a two bedroom apartment rental, check out Heritage Apartments on Southland Parkway. Their two bedrooms will run you from $490 to $510 a month with security deposits ranging from $200 to $500. These are not pet-friendly apartments.
If you're looking for pet friendly apartments for rent, or more specifically, a place with dogs allowed, check out the Mallard Landing Apartments. They allow small and large dogs. Rents here are pretty reasonable, but be prepared to pay an extra deposit for the dog. Hey, pet-friendly only goes so far.
Mallard Landing also offers furnished apartments for rent, in their Corporate Apartment program. Here, you can sign up for a long or short term lease.
If you're planning on staying for the long haul, downtown living might be fun in Marion. You can walk to New Beginnings for a yummy breakfast, or catch a quick drink (or two, or three) after work at Shovel Sports without having to worry about driving home. Downtown lofts, like the ones in the old Huber Building, are typically larger and more open than apartments.
Finding studio apartments for rent in Marion may be a challenge. An alternative route could be scouring the local classifieds for "rooms for rent" advertised by local homeowners, or just driving around in search of FOR RENT signs. There are more than a handful of converted older homes that rent rooms, some of them even furnished.
Whether you need an apartment while you attend OSU, or you're just craving a more laid-back vibe than you'll find down south in Columbus, we are pretty sure you're going to find the apartment rental of your dreams in Marion.

You might have read our article about the Windows 7 Tech Guarantee Program back in November which basically stated that Windows Vista users might receive a free Windows 7 upgrade depending on the time of their purchase. Some new information came to light that have not been confirmed yet by Microsoft.
Techarp, a technology website, has listed the requirements for receiving a free Windows 7 upgrade. They do mention that the program is optional meaning that not all OEMs might participate.
A new PC has to be purchased between July 1, 2009 and a date that has not been announced yet. A pre-installed version of either Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate has to be supplied with the PC that must have a valid Certificate of Authenticity (COA) attached.
The upgrade paths are straightforward:
- Windows Vista Home Premium -> Windows 7 Home Premium
- Windows Vista Business -> Windows 7 Professional
- Windows Vista Ultimate -> Windows 7 Ultimate

University side Tigres have 16 points from six matches in the Clausura standings, one point ahead of America and three in front of Tijuana and Atlas who beat Atlante 2-1 on Saturday.
Toluca, who visit Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires in their opening match of the South American Libertadores Cup group phase on Wednesday, are 15th with five points.
Tigres, who won the Apertura title in 2011, scored through Brazilian Juninho, Argentines Lucas Lobos and Emanuel Villa, the first division's top scorer with six goals, and Luis Garcia.
Edgar Duenas pulled a goal back for Toluca.
America, down to nine men from the 38th minute, went in front with a penalty from Paraguayan midfielder Osvaldo Martinez in the 12th minute at Tijuana's Caliente stadium.
The Eagles then had Argentine midfielder Rubens Sambueza sent off in the 21st minute for a second booking and Colombian defender Aquivaldo Mosquera was shown a red card in the 38th for a tackle from behind on goal-bound Fernando Arce.
"(The dismissals) happened to us because we were silly, we need to be more aware," America coach Miguel Herrera told reporters.
"The team showed the same determination we have all tournament, we played against a major team who are the champions and we were almost perfect."
America put up strong resistance in the second half and increased their lead from a 54th-minute counter attack when Paul Aguilar scored with a powerful long-range shot.
Tijuana pulled one back in the 76th minute when Paraguay defender Pablo Aguilar converted Raul Enriquez's cross.
"The defeat hurts. We couldn't manage to score and were well beaten. We had to lose one day," said Tijuana's Argentine coach Antonio Mohamed.
Guadalajara won for the first time in the championship, beating Monterrey 1-0 away on Saturday with Mexico striker Rafael Marquez Lugo's 100th first division goal.
The Chivas are in mid-table with seven points from six matches.
Queretaro's new coach Ignacio Ambriz, who took over in midweek from the sacked Sergio Bueno, marked his first match in charge with a 1-1 draw at home to bottom team Chiapas on Saturday.

SEBRING — Situated in a wooden box near a lake, fiction, fantasy, fact and fortitude can be found.
And the words of wisdom, vice, emotions and intellect are free for the taking, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Since July 16, Highlands County's Little Free Library (LFL) has been a successful source of literature for residents, visitors and just folks passing through town on U.S. 27.
At the Lake Glenada Park boat ramp stands the first of what will eventually be at least six LFL book boxes, 12-inches deep, two feet wide and two feet tall, weatherproof wooden kiosks that contain donated books. The idea is anyone visiting a LFL box can take a book out and eventually return it. The books are donated through the Heartland Library Cooperative serving Highlands, Okeechobee, DeSoto and Hardee counties and the Highlands County Library System.
The system is sponsored by the Wisconsin-based LFL and is a free way to get books into the hands of anyone with an urge to read. The only cost is a $35 registration fee with LFL, which adds a box to the nationwide system. Locally, the LFL is managed by the Highlands County Parks and Natural Resources Department in partnership with the Highlands County Library System.
Since the box library was officially "opened" at Lake Glenada, it's been in steady use, said Mary Myers, director of the Highlands County Library System. She said it has been so successful, most of the 50 books and puzzles originally donated were gone within the first two weeks and have to be regularly restocked.
"The idea is the communities will want to keep the library going by bringing some of their books in to donate when they take books," Myers said.
Myers, in her 26th year with the Heartland Library Cooperative, said the box is restocked once a month using books donated to the Sebring Public Library, 319 W. Center Ave.
"What's good is people can put books they recommend in and it's a good way for people to share books they recommend and love with other people," she said.
Those books and puzzles could be left without restrictions, Myers added. She said there is no censorship of what is donated but that people should "just use good common sense" on what is or isn't appropriate to leave. She said if something objectionable is deposited it can be taken out by whomever and that "community standards will prevail."
"The idea is the community will want to keep the library going by bringing some of their books whenever they take books," she said.
Another cost-effective feature about the LFL is that they are built for free. They are generally made of used wood or materials scrapped by community building or utilities departments. The Lake Glenada LFL was built by Steven Becker, a Highlands County finish carpenter with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service and is maintained by Ron McClure, Highlands County building maintenance supervisor and a certified general contractor.
During a check on the LFL Wednesday, McClure said visitors have been using the box regularly, with fiction and Spanish-language books seeming to be the most popular. He said he hoped to have six boxes up around Highlands County within the next two or three weeks and they're especially important for communities located far from a library branch.
"Some people may not go to the library, but they'll come here to get a book," he said. "People traveling through can stop, get a book and drop it off in the next community that has one."
Currently, the nearest official LFL box to Lake Glenada's is about a half-hour west in Zolfo Springs in Hardee County. There, a box is located in the Cracker Trail Museum in Pioneer Park. The LFL there, in place since February, has an average of 25 books and magazines stocked, said Judith George, museum curator.
"People like it here; they think it's a great idea and a great program and should work well there (Highlands County)," she said.
Although not an official LFL box, the Sebring community of Golf Hammock has had a "give-take" book box on its premises for about a year, said Sandy Todd, homeowners' association president. She said the box is in front of a private home, has an average of about 20 books within and is available to community residents and visitors only.
As for Highlands County, Myers and McClure said there are several locations where LFLs may be built and set up. Other places include county-owned facilities at the Lake Olivia walking trail, the Bert J. Harris Jr. Agricultural Civic Center on George Boulevard, Istokpoga Park, Windy Point Park, the Lorida schoolhouse and Martin Luther King Park at Carver Park in Lake Placid.
The LFLs began in 2009, when Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisc., built a model of a one room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother, a former school teacher who loved reading. He put books in it and placed it on a post in his front yard. With enthusiastic response from family and friends he built more and gave each away with a sign that read "FREE BOOKS."

The scheduler in BENW isn't nearly as good as its Windows counterpart.
You can schedule a job to run on the last day of the month, but if you
want to exclude weekends, you either have to re/schedule the job
manually, or set weekend dates to be holidays. But you can't designate
a date as a holiday for just one/some jobs. It's all or none.

"A hoped-for export bonanza has failed to materialise a year after a deal to lift international sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme, a German industry association [stated]... 'Despite increased foreign trade, there is a certain disillusionment,' Volker Treier, chief economist at the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), said. German exports to Iran had increased 11 percent in the first four months of 2016 to 890 million euros ($985 million), and likely stood at over one billion euros in the first six months, Treier said. That leaves a lot of ground to make up if firms are to match DIHK forecasts of 5.0 billion euros of exports annually within three years of the deal, mounting to 10 billion euros within five years... German carmakers and machine-tool builders were among the firms most avid to leap into the new market, where their products had been sought-after rarities until the deal came into force in January. 'Of course the expectations were high that trade with Iran would return to where it was in the old days,' Treier said, but 'we're far removed from that.' With many Western banks still reluctant to issue loans for deals involving Iran -- fearing to fall foul of continuing US sanctions against Tehran's financial sector -- cash to fuel the business is hard to find, the DIHK said. But some German household names are already making inroads into Iran's economy, with Daimler planning a factory to build Mercedes-Benz cars with two local partners, while Siemens has licensed gas turbines and power station generators to Iran's Mapna." (AFP, "German exports say yet to see big payday from Iran trade," 8/8/2016).
"Daimler on Monday said its trucks division had signed letters of intent with joint venture partners in Iran as part of the German truck maker's re-entry into the Iranian market following the lifting of international sanctions... Daimler said it would cooperate with Iran Khodro Diesel (IKD) and Iran's Mammut Group, establishing a joint venture for local production of Mercedes-Benz trucks and powertrain components, plus the establishment of a sales company for Mercedes-Benz trucks. Furthermore, there are plans for Daimler to return as a shareholder in the former engine joint venture Iranian Diesel Engine Manufacturing Co. (IDEM). Daimler Trucks intends to open a representative office in Tehran during the first quarter of 2016, the Stuttgart, Germany-based company said. The first Mercedes-Benz Actros and Axor trucks could be supplied to the country in the form of CKD (completely knocked down) kits - or fully disassembled - before the end of the year, Daimler said. In addition to the plans for Mercedes-Benz trucks, Daimler Trucks also sees great opportunities for its Mitsubishi FUSO brand – especially in the light-duty truck segment. To open up this market, Daimler and Mammut have signed a distribution agreement for the FUSO brand. Daimler can build on a long and successful history in Iran: The company has been present in the market with Mercedes-Benz trucks and passenger cars since 1953, interrupted only by the sanctions phase between 2010 and 2016. Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles are still present there and remain very visible on Iran's roads. Previously, Daimler sold up to 10,000 vehicles per year in Iran, most of them commercial vehicles. A spokeswoman for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars said the luxury auto maker was preparing to re-enter Iran's market, but said it was too early to provide details about how this would happen." (Reuters, "Truck maker Daimler signs agreement to return to Iran," 1/18/2016)
Mercedes-Benz is a division of Daimler AG, its parent company.
"Iran Khodro may sign a deal with the German maker of commercial vehicles and luxury cars as soon as three months from now, Chief Executive Officer Hashem Yeke Zare said to reporters in Tehran on Tuesday. Daimler may open an office in Iran within two to three months, the Iranian CEO said. 'Mercedes-Benz is an old partner for Iran Khodro, and it has announced to us its interest and readiness to work with us,' Yeke Zare said. He declined to comment on the financial scope of any partnership with Mercedes parent Daimler." (Bloomberg, "Daimler Pushes Ahead With Talks to Return to Iran Truck Market," 7/28/15)
"Engineering CEO of Iran Khodro Diesel Reza Hosseini said that Iran is likely to produce Mercedes-Benz sedans in the future. Speaking at a ceremony to unveil the first Iranian –produced minibus, Hosseini said that a model of Mercedes-Benz sedans used to be produced in Iran in the past, ISNA news agency reported May 24. In a contract previously signed with Mercedes-Benz, besides producing an E-class sedan, the production of C-class sedans is also envisioned, he said. Therefore, there is the chance in the future for some Mercedes-Benz sedans to be produced in Iran, he concluded. Iran Khodro Diesel CEO Qolamreza Razazi also attending the ceremony told reporters that the Accor Mercedes truck is currently produced by the Iranian company and added that a model of Mercedes ambulance is also going to be produced in Iran." (Trend, "Iran says likely to produce Mercedes-Benz sedan", 5/25/15)
"Iranian car manufacturing company Saipa is in talks with France's PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault, Germany's Mercedes-Benz, and Sweden's Volvo to finalize deals on joint production of cars in Iran, Saipa officials announced on Tuesday. Saipa CEO Saeid Madani announced that the company is in negotiations with PSA Peugeot Citroen to sign a deal, but at the same time noted that any deal would depend on the ongoing talks between Tehran and world powers over the country's peaceful nuclear energy program…CEO of Saipa Diesel Za'far Tanhapour, who was also attending the ceremony, announced that the company has started talks with Germany's Mercedes-Benz, and expressed the hope that the talks would be finalized by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (mid-March). Mercedes-Benz can be a good partner for Saipa Diesel, Tanhapour stressed, adding that joint projects for the development of products are high on Saipa's agenda." (Tasnim, "Iran's Saipa Negotiating with European Automakers," 5/12/15)
"[T]he auto sanctions were lifted earlier this year after an interim nuclear agreement was reached between Iran and world powers and a final accord is still on the horizon, raising the prospect of better times for the industry. That will draw international suitors to Tehran on Monday for the second consecutive Iran Auto Show. Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Renault, Peugeot, Kia and Toyota have confirmed [they will attend]." (Agence France-Presse, "Foreign automakers find Iranian market has gone local," 11/30/14)
"Last week, Qorbani announced that Benz, Volkswagen, Volvo, Fiat, Rover, Skoda, Renault, Peugeot, Kia and Toyota would take part in the Iranian auto expo, adding that the US car-manufacturers would also join the event. 'In case of desirable conditions, General Motors and Ford companies will also attend the event.' He continued that some leading car parts makers, including Siemens, FORD Mendo, Busch, FRW and ACI would attend the gathering. The event will start work on December 10." (Fars News, "55 Giant Int'l Carmakers, Part-Makers to Participate in Iranian Auto Expo," 11/2/14)
Iran Khodro Company (IKCO) will start cooperation with Germany's Mercedes-Benz Company once the sanctions on Iran's car industry are completely lifted, the Managing Director of IKCO Hashem Yekke Zareh said on December 1. 'We will start negotiations with French Peugeot Company in the coming days in order to restart the two companies' cooperation,' the Mehr News Agency quoted Yekke Zareh as saying. (Trend, Iran Khodro Co. seeks cooperation with Germany's Mercedes-Benz, 12/1/2014)
"The nuclear deal struck by Iran and six world powers will put more rubber on the road in the Islamic Republic. The country's major carmakers stand ready to start receiving parts again from French firms PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault when the sanctions ease. That could see Iran's stalled car production again take off, proving a boon to local automakers and potentially draw in more foreign investment from other manufacturers hoping to break into the market…Iran Khodro's manager, Hashem Yekeh Zare, said his company is considering a joint project with Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz, but didn't elaborate. Zare said his company is seeking greater self-sufficiency and is interested in importing auto parts and licenses for joint production." (Washington Post, "Iran nuclear deal hits gas pedal for carmakers," 11/30/13)
The Setare Iran Company is currently negotiating with Mercedes-Benz to reopen the German company's production line in Iran, the Managing Director of Setare Iran Company Seyyed Reza Hosseini said on Friday. 'The Iranian Top Khodro Company previously used to manufacture Mercedes-Benz sedan cars in Iran, but the production line is now at a halt. In the event of the negotiations succeeding and sanctions lifted, we can open the line,' the Fars News Agency quoted Hosseini as saying. 'Iran Khodro Diesel was also active in the production of Mercedes-Benz models, especially the E-Class series in Iran,' he said, adding that Iran is still the exclusive base for production of the German company's model in the Middle East. (Trend, Iranian firm negotiates to reopen Mercedes-Benz production line in Tehran, 10/25/14)
"The Trade Promotion Organization of Iran has announced the list of cars which are allowed to be imported in the current Iranian year, but renowned brands such as Porsche, Benz, BMW, Maserati, and Nissan are not in the list, ISNA news agency reported." (Azer News, "Iran bans imports of renowned car brands," 5/27/2013)
Setareh Iran lists itself as the exclusive distrbutor of Mercedes-Benz in Iran.
"Daimler AG's Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche said Wednesday the German auto maker will divest its 30% stake in Iranian Diesel Engine Manufacturing as part of a wider review of its business relationships with the country. 'In view of the current political situation we have...extensively reassessed this business relationship,' Mr. Zetsche told shareholders at Daimler's annual general meeting." (The Wall Street Journal, "Daimler Downgrades Ties to Iran," 4/14/10)
"Daimler has maintained a partnership with Iran car maker Iran Khodro since the 1960s, according to a company spokesperson, and it owns a 30 percent stake in an engine manufacturer owned by Iran Khodro. The company still ships cars to Iran, but new German export laws prohibit the sale of large trucks, and the spokesperson said that the sales are a small portion of worldwide revenue. Daimler and its subsidiaries have won contracts to supply cars and trucks to the U.S. government." The company received $4.2 billion from the US government for their business investments in Iran during 2000-2009. Their activities in Iran are currently active. (The New York Times, "Profiting from Iran, and the US," 3/6/2010)
Germany's trade ties to Iran stretch back to the Middle Ages, and many of the companies currently there have been active in Iran for decades. Some 85 German companies have operations in Iran, from chemical maker BASF AG to Deutsche Lufthansa AG and Bayer AG, and others such as Linde AG and Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler AG are active there, according to the Hamburg-based German-Iranian Chamber of Commerce. More than 7,000 companies conduct business there through local representatives. Germany has become such a big trading partner for Iran because so many of its companies provide the machinery and engineering prowess Iran needs to improve its infrastructure.(The Wall Street Journal, "German Firms Feel Pressure Over Tehran Trade," 10/3/09)
Several renowned German companies are involved in major Iranian infrastructure projects, especially in the petrochemical sector, like Linde, BASF, Lurgi, Krupp, Siemens, ZF Friedrichshafen, Mercedes, Volkswagen and MAN. (Payvand News, "Iranian exports to Germany rose 50% last year," 12/8/08)

I finally got around to having the WJ serviced with 35,935 on the odometer. My friend's dealership totally fixed the leather and electrical problems which I'm happpy with, but I also asked them to look into an occasional transmission clunk on downshift. The bummer is that I forgot to tell the dealer NOT to flash the PCM (which Brett kindly reminded me of today, AFTER the fact ). Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! They flashed me with the TCM 05019701AC and the PCM 56044684AI. What exactly do these do? I haven't had the chance to drive the WJ yet cause I couldn't pick it up (wife is still at the hospital), but I'm kinda bummed cause I have to pull the PCM and hopefully have it flashed again by Nick's buddies. Another week of downtime!

About the Center
What is the Center for Vocational Ministry (CVM)?
At the Center for Vocational Ministry, we believe that every follower of Christ is called to minister, regardless of their vocation. Some, however, are called to ministry as their vocation.
The center assists students who are sensing God leading them to vocational pastoral ministry by helping them clarify their calling and qualify their giftedness. We serve students by:
- Linking them with a pastor-mentor who will walk with them as they prepare.
- Assisting them to refine their giftedness within the Body of Christ.
- Helping them better understand their own story so they can minister more effectively.
- Placing them in beneficial intern experiences where they can serve, learn, and grow.
Why is it Important?
As many seminary attendees are second-career men and women entering ministry at an older age, Christian churches are experiencing an alarmingly low number of pastors under the age of 35. The hope is that the number of second-career pastors will compensate for the lack of younger ministers. Unfortunately, reports show they will not be able to replace the number of pastors who will retire over the next ten to fifteen years.
As an evangelical university with a rich Christian heritage, Azusa Pacific University exists in part to serve the Church, and places a high priority on training Christian leaders. APUis committed to implementing solutions at the undergraduate level that will address the need for more pastors.
We look forward to helping students impact their communities by fulfilling God's call to vocational ministry.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
by Mark Haddon
Language and Communication Quotes in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #10
And I said, "Thank you for supper," because that is being polite. (149.45)
This is a perfect example of the way Christopher has learned to interact through rote memorization of social customs. We can just imagine the lesson: "And then when someone cooks you dinner, you should say, 'Thank you for dinner.'" "Why should I say that?" "Because that is being polite."
Quote #11
I wonder if you can understand any of this. I know it will be very difficult for you. But I hope you can understand a little. (157.15)
This line appears in one of Christopher's mother's letters – the one in which she explains why she left him and his father. After going on at length, with heart-wrenching explanations and recollections, she writes that she realizes Christopher might not be able to understand any of the letter at all, suggesting that she's writing this letter as much for herself (as a release valve, as a way to express her own grief and guilt) as she is to apologize to Christopher.

Water scarcity continues at Nilackal
By Express News Service - SABARIMALA
Published: 19th November 2013 11:28 AM
Last Updated: 19th November 2013 11:28 AM
Water scarcity continued for the second day on Monday at the Nilackal pilgrim transit camp, with thousands of pilgrims struggling to get water even for meeting their primary needs.
The absence of potable water in public taps, closure of toilets owing to water scarcity and failure of the Kerala Water Authority to supply water through tanker lorries have put the pilgrims in deep crisis. In addition, the hotels at Nilackal are in the construction stage owing to the late auctioning by the Devaswom authorities. As a result, potable water was out of reach for pilgrims throughout the day.
Meanwhile, the vendors on the roadside are taking advantage of the situation by levying upto double the rate of bottled water.

SIKESTON -- The Sikeston Bulldogs football team will take to the road again this week as they travel to West Plains to take on the 1-6 Zizzers this Friday.
Although West Plains is 1-6, Sikeston head coach Kent Gibbs is quick to point out that this is not a true representation of the kind of team they are.
"West Plains is 1-6, and that's the first thing everyone is going to notice," Gibbs said. "But, that record is very deceiving. There are a couple of things you need to think about when you look at the 1-6 record. First, they (West Plains) were 2-5 going into district play last year and won the district. Second, they play in a predominantly 5A conference against very good teams. Also, they beat Wanyesville, who is the defending 5A state champion, last week to get their first win."
Gibbs also notes that the Zizzers have star running back Tommy Meyor returning from injury.
"Their running back, Tommy Meyor, is returning from injury," he said."So they will have him back in the mix. He was able to run all over us last year, so that will be someone we have to find a way to contain."
Limiting big plays will be a primary focus of the Bulldogs defense Friday night. The sibling combination of Meyor and his brother Joey (wide receiver) will be especially dangerous.
"What we are going to have to be able to do is prevent Tommy and Joey Meyor from making big plays on us," Gibbs said. "That is a major theme for us."
The Bulldogs (4-3) should bring plenty of momentum with them after knocking off previously undefeated Kennett on the road last week.
Gibbs looks to bring a lot of the things his team did well last week with them to West Plains.
"We played very good defense last week in Kennett," he said. "The other thing we were working on last week was playing a 'full' game, not just one half, and we did that. We blocked very consistently as well. We did a good job of hustling. I was pleased overall with last week's performance. Those are the kind of things we need to do every week."
The cornerstone of the Sikeston offense will again be junior running back Eli Jackson, who has complied 1,000 yards and 16 touchdowns on 120 carries so far this year.
However, questions still remain as to who will take the opening snap at quarterback for the Bulldogs this Friday as senior and primary starter Charlie Bohannon continues to battle back from injury.
Sam Erwin and Jordan Williams will both be able to start if Bohannon is unable to play, but Gibbs says no matter who starts, his team will have to throw the ball to win.
"Charlie Bohannon starting the game for us is about a 50 percent chance at this time," Gibbs said during Wednesdays interview. "Now, if Charlie can't go, we will make a call today or tomorrow on whether Sam Erwin or Jordan Williams will start for us.We have to throw the ball more than we did last week. We will throw the ball no matter who we have a quarterback."
Gibbs says his offense will need to be potent and control the ball Friday to keep up with West Plains.
"We have to score a lot of points to have a good shot at winning this game," he said."We have to try and control the clock and the tempo of the game as we did last week. We can not allow West Plains to be on the field for long periods of times."
Sikeston's defense will have to play solid and efficient football to limit West Plains offensive attack.
"This week is different than the Kennett game in the fact that with Kennett we were able to focus on stopping the pass," Gibbs said. "West Plains has a double threat in that they can run and throw the ball. They (West Plains) run a lot of jailbreak screens and counter options, and those will present challenges to us. We have to really work to limit their big plays. We have to play sharp assignment football Friday."
Gibbs also points our execution of tackles as a "must" for his defense Friday.
"Another thing we must do defensively is execute our tackles," he said. "We have to swarm the ball and get a lot of helmets on the ball carrier. But more importantly, when we do hit them we have to wrap them up. We did a good job of playing more physical last week, we just need to continue that trend of improving in that regard."
The Bulldogs desire to win and improve is one of their strong suits.
"Our 'want to' is definitely there to win this game and be competitive in districts," Gibbs said. "We are excited about what we have accomplished so far this year. But, we realize that we still have a long way to go. What this all boils down to is our execution of the fundamentals of football. We have to execute to be successful. We have been working to keep our practices consistently good and to improve in every way we can."
Gibbs feels that the district competition is up for grabs.
"Our district could be wide open," he said. "There is really no way to tell what could happen. West Plains, Farmington, and Poplar Bluff are all tough teams. But, it will really depend on who shows up to these games ready to play. I don't think anyone will go through district play without losing, its going to be a tough challenge."
Gibbs says that although winning districts would be an "uphill battle", its something his team will work toward.
"I hope we can show up ready to play and represent ourselves well this Friday. We haven't been in the mix for a district title since our last title in 1995. We just have to play our best and hardest. We have to take these games one at a time and see what happens."
The game will kick off at 7 p.m. in West Plains.


text: I know the game because I've been playing for a long time. It should be reported to NASDAQ because your not really allowed to artificially damage a stock in the closing ticks. Its a form of manipulation. Its relatively easy on a thin stock to knock down the price at the end of the day and make it look weak going into the next day.

Dear Friends,
During the past winter we have been sharing special winter fruits with our little ones; cherimoyas, pomegranates, papayas, mandarins, and of course, prickly (cactus) pears. In the following 1-minute video my grandson Nic shows how to prepare and enjoy this nutritious fruit.
I feel so happy about how my two grandchildren make healthy food choices in their everyday lives. Yesterday, on the way from a swimming lesson, when I handed 5-year-old Lily her snack, she opened it and said with a smile, "Ah, prickly pears!"
If served in the right manner and at the right moment, healthy snacks become helpful in developing your children's health. I wish I had the knowledge I have now from the very beginning of my parenting years. To help others, I put all of my acquired tips in my new e-book "Healthy Snacks & Fun School Lunches for Children."

Open lunch is a privilege enjoyed by most juniors and seniors at Marietta High School-a time when many of those students hop into cars and head for their favorite eateries. But driving safely to lunch and getting back on campus within the time allotted can be a challenge.
Open lunch in Washington County is currently only available at Marietta High School, but Belpre High School students are also about to have the option starting next month, and other area schools have previously let students leave campus to eat.
"We get about 42 minutes, and that's usually not enough time," MHS senior Hailey Carman said as she and friend Courtney Clark grabbed a quick bite at Huck's Farm Market Thursday.
Article Photos
SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Marietta High School seniors Courtney Clark, left, and Hailey Carman drove to Huck's Farm Market on Muskingum Drive during their open lunch period Thursday.
Fellow senior Sarah Rauch agreed.
"Sometimes you get a little rushed, but if you go someplace close like this it's not too bad," she said. "It takes about five minutes to get here from school, depending on traffic."
Marietta High School has traditionally had an open lunch policy, but went to closed lunch for the 2011-2012 school year, partly due to safety concerns stemming from students involved in traffic accidents during the lunch hour.
Fact Box
Ohio teen
drivers in 2011:
There were a total 64,975 vehicle crashes involving drivers between the ages of 16 and 20.
In 43,649 of those crashes the driver was in error, the highest number among all age groups.
34,356 of the drivers were male and 30,362 were female.
161 of the total number of wrecks were fatalities.
17,739 of the crashes involved injuries.
47,075 of the total number of wrecks included property damage.
Source: Ohio Department of Public Safety.
Just last week four MHS students on their lunch hour were transported to Marietta Memorial Hospital after a teen driver pulled into the path of an oncoming pickup truck at the intersection of Academy and Colegate drives.
Two more MHS teens, who were also on their lunch break, narrowly escaped serious injury Nov. 26, 2012, when their vehicle ran off Colegate Drive, knocking over a utility pole that flattened the car and draped an oncoming vehicle with live power lines. One youth was transported to the hospital from that crash.
In October, 2010, three students were in a lunchtime crash when they pulled into the path of a Smitty's Pizza truck on Camp Avenue. All three were treated and released for minor injuries.
And on Aug. 29, 2009, five MHS students were involved in a two-vehicle accident along Glendale Road while on their lunch hour. Police reported two of those teens were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
Last year the school re-opened the lunch hour for juniors and seniors who meet certain standards, defined as an "AAA Club" policy based on attendance, academics and attitude.
"They must have no 'F' grades, have a 95 percent attendance rate, and no out of school suspensions to be eligible," said assistant principal Chad Rinard.
He said the school administration tracks in-school detention and out of school suspensions on every student.
Students who don't meet those criteria are not allowed to participate in open lunch activities, which include being able to drive off campus during their 50-minute lunch hour.
"But not all students drive to lunch, many walk down the hill to Wendy's for lunch," Rinard noted. "But AAA is essentially a reward system to help students develop more responsibility during their last two years of school."
MHS senior Caleb Hall and his friend, Troy Smithberger, a junior, drove to the Dairy Queen on Pike Street for lunch on Tuesday.
"Open lunch does give us time to eat, but we could use a little more time," Hall said, adding that he doesn't have to exceed the posted speed limit to get lunch.
Fellow senior Patrick Fankell also drives off campus at lunchtime.
"It gives me enough time to go home for lunch in Devola, and I can even watch a little TV before returning to school," he said.
Senior Tylee Newbrough said lunchtime traffic from the school often backs up at the Academy Drive intersection with Colegate Drive, which can cut the lunch break short.
"And it depends on where you're going for lunch. The Wendy's (on Muskingum Drive) is close to school, but a lot of kids go there," she said. "And we like to go inside and sit down for lunch."
Her friend, senior Caitlin Harrison, agreed.
"Traffic can really get backed up, and it basically becomes a mad rush to lunch," she said. "We usually have just enough time."
Many students grab a sandwich at Huck's Farm Market on Muskingum Drive, which is about a five-minute drive from the school.
Proprietor Mike Huck said it's great for business.
"When they had closed lunch a couple of years ago it really had an impact on our business, and we miss it when school lets out for summer," he said.
Belpre High School currently has a closed lunch policy, but Belpre City Schools Superintendent Tony Dunn said that's about to change.
"The high school has traditionally had open lunch for juniors and seniors," he said. "The biggest reason we closed lunch this year was for student safety."
Dunn said the students had open lunch, but safety became an issue as they had only a short time to drive to a local restaurant and return to school.
"Some kids were also coming back late or buying their food and bringing it back to class," he said.
But Dunn said Principal Dennis Eichinger are currently working with the senior class to re-open lunch at Belpre High, with some stipulations, similar to the AAA program at Marietta High School.
"Hopefully we'll be able to open lunch again by Oct. 1," Dunn said. "But there will be conditions. They can't be tardy. If they're late for classes they lose the open lunch privilege. The second condition is academics. If they are not pulling the grades they can't go to open lunch."
He said the final condition is that students must pass all phases of the Ohio Graduation Test.
"The open lunch will begin with seniors first, and if it works out we'll be looking at including juniors later in the year," Dunn said.
Other area schools, like Waterford High, maintain a closed lunch policy.
Principal Randy Shrider said Waterford students aren't allowed to drive off campus during lunch, although some students who live within a well-defined area near the school are permitted to walk home for lunch each day.
"But our lunch period is about 42 minutes long, so we only have six students who walk home during that time," he said. "Essentially it's a closed lunch policy that's been in effect since I came here."
Warren High School Principal Ben Cunningham said open lunch is not observed at that facility, and that is also the case at Williamstown High School in West Virginia, although Williamstown High has had open lunch hours in the past.
Teen drivers heading off campus for lunch isn't particularly favored by some local law enforcement.
"I'd be absolutely opposed to open lunch at school. You send your kids to school knowing they'll be safe all day, but the next thing you know there's a phone call that the kid has been in a wreck during his lunch hour," said Sgt. Rod Hupp with the Marietta Police Department.
Troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol say allowing open lunch is a decision left to individual schools and parents.
"It's obviously up to each school to set the policy, but anytime anyone is driving on the roadways, regardless of age, they need to obey the traffic laws and watch out for other drivers," said Sgt. Michael Seabolt with the Ohio State Highway Patrol's Marietta post.
Post commander Lt. Carlos Smith agreed.
"We recommend if a school allows students to drive during lunch hour that those teens stay within the policies set by the school district," he said.

Eax, documentation and morePosted Friday, 1 February, 2008 - 15:49 by Inertia in
Since you don't join IRC anymore, I'll just ask here:
-did you spend any time on the Eax->Efx reverb conversion?
-the AudioContext class should probably expose the Alut.CreateBuffer* functions, else you will break all OpenAL samples that require loading a .wav from disk.
-i really think the naming should be consistent, either Audio (latin: "i hear") and Video (latin: "i see"), or use the english terms. not a mix inbetween. (the latin is from wikipedia :p )
-i've edited the geometry pages in the book to use 0.9.0 enums, should the part about GL.VertexPointer() get it's own page? (it's a bit hidden behind all the GL.MapBuffer() explanation)
-isn't it too early to show the russian translation in the menu already? there's very little translated so far, and noone has proofread it.
-attached is the SM 3.0+ julia set fragment shader, untested ofc. might crash&burn. It *might* work with higher MAXIteration values, if you set the 1D texture filter to linear in the app.
I'd love to join IRC, but my internet access is down and my wireless proxy cuts the necesssary port.
You can always contact me on my email s_t_ap|ostol_@|g_mail.|com (remove the _ and | characters).
On the rest:
[Eax->Efx] and [.wav loaders]
Will do these during the weekend.
[Graphics vs Video]
Personally, video brings to mind "motion picture" while graphics brings "rendered picture". A namespace like OpenTK.Video.OpenGL (== Open Graphics Library) would look a little funny. Another solution would be to change Audio to Sound, but OpenTK.Sound.OpenAL sounds a little strange too (although I'd prefer that over OpenTK.Video).
Or we could just follow the conventions laid down by OpenGL and OpenAL and have Graphics and Audio.
The VBO page is growing a little long, it might be nice to split it up.
[Julia S&M, err SM3]
Is it just me, but doesn't SM look a little *too* close to S&M? Will test & add, thanks.
Edit: Tested, and it only displays a black screen. It compiles fine though, so I must be missing something obvious, I'll try to debug it. Btw, Ati's GPU ShaderAnalyzer is a great tool!
I know the address, but most of these topics might have gotten a 3rd opinion on IRC, or maybe here. If someone from russia proofreads the translation, my objection becomes obsolete.
If you could link the .lib into a .dll i'll do the conversion bit (found some EAX lowpass filter presets too i'd like to test out and include). I've tried doing this with Mingw and tcc, but with no success. It might be related to the .lib being compiled in VS6.0?
It would also be good if the Extension encapsulation is looked at from a different perspective too, with the AudioContext class it might be reasonable to instantiate them by default. The way they currently work was solely determined by easy development.
[Graphics vs Video]
I don't really want to argue about this, just wanted to point out that Graphics&Sound or Video&Audio would be more consistent. You're right, the latin is used in a more abstract sense. Maybe do it like the Pros and flip a coin? :p
Indeed, but I lack a better word to describe this hardware detail without citing GL_TOKENS
It may not work inside a Shader IDE due to the projection matrix setup, or maybe there's a link error? I've read that ATi hardware isn't very forgiving if you declare uniforms only in the FS, but not the VS - that could be an issue too. My remote debug skills aren't that far developed to figure this out, but functionality of the SM2 and SM3 fragment shaders should be identical from the GLSL logic.
Edit: Most likely it's the missing " #version 120 " at the top of the shader. The uniforms are probably not the problem, as they work in the SM2 shader. Don't spend too much time on this unless you do enjoy debugging shaders, I can still add the 2nd shader when my new rig arrives and the SM2 one does the job just fine for now, but I admit: the SM3 shader is alot less confusing because the loop isn't unrolled.
The shaderanalyzer looks very cool on the screenshot (especially the asm output), but crashes when I try to load the shader.
It probably needs an Ati card (although I just updated to the latest version, and it crashes here too).

Joffrey climbing up to the Iron Throne as Queen Cersei watches. Interestingly, it looks like there are workmen and scaffolds and the like in the throne room. This isn't anything from the novels, but may be in keeping with giving Joffrey more direct involvement in his rule.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.
