Fourth Convection and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX 4):
15 August 26 September 2001
Project Managers: R. Stephen Hipskind, Michael S. Craig
CAMEX 4 was a large airborne field campaign sponsored by the Atmospheric Dynamics and Remote Sensing Program in NASAs Earth Science Enterprise. R. Kakar is the Headquarters Program Manager. The primary objective of the experiment was to better characterize and understand tropical cyclones to eventually improve our capability to predict their intensification and precipitation amounts. The prediction of Tropical Cyclones, especially their track and landfall location, has improved dramatically over the last three decades, especially with the advent of satellite based surveillance. Still, one of the largest uncertainties is in understanding the mechanisms by which some storms intensify into Category 5 monster hurricanes and some that are predicted to intensify actually fizzle. The other large scientific uncertainty is the amount of precipitation generated by these tropical storms. Some of the largest hurricanes drop relatively light rainfall amounts while other smaller storms may lead to copious precipitation and flooding.
CAMEX 4 assembled an array of platforms and instruments to make measurements from the Earths surface, space and everywhere in between (Figure 1). There were several research weather radars and a vertical radar wind profiler which were set up and operated in the Florida keys. There was a special radiosonde operation set up on Andros Island in the Bahamas. The heart of the project was the two NASA aircraft, the DC-8 and ER-2 as well as two NOAA P-3s. NOAA also flew the Gulfstream IV as part of their ongoing operational support of the National Hurricane Center as did the Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Wing with their C-130s. NASA also funded the Australian Aerosonde, an Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to make meteorological measurements in the lowest 1500 meters over the ocean. The NASA aircraft were based at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida and the Aerosonde was based at the Mayport Naval Base just east of Jacksonville.
CAMEX 4 was scheduled to coincide with the climatological period with the most frequent Tropical Cyclones in the Western Atlantic. There was a dearth of tropical storms during the experiment this year, but we were able to fly into three tropical storms, two of which were hurricanes. On the last three days of the project we conducted three flight missions into Hurricane Humberto from its genesis as a tropical depression to a tropical storm and finally its intensification into a hurricane. On one of those flight days we had six aircraft stacked from the Air Force C-130s at the low altitude to the ER-2 at 19 kilometer altitude. These flights returned unprecedented data sets from the storm and should lead to a better understanding of hurricane development. CAMEX 4 also accomplished several flights in support of the Keys Area Microphysics Project (KAMP) which was focused on cloud dynamics, microphysics and quantitative precipitation estimation.
CAMEX 4 was a close collaborative effort between NASA and the NOAA Hurricane Research Division. Unlike the previous CAMEX 3 mission in 1998, there was a much greater effort to coordinate the aircraft flight tracks so that the aircraft were in the same geographical area at the same times. This will greatly enhance the ability to analyze the data from the different platforms. In addition CAMEX 4 added a dropsonde capability to the ER-2 aircraft. This is the first time ever that complete soundings have been made from the stratosphere to the surface in the middle of a tropical storm.
CAMEX 4 was composed of 28 Principal Investigators from five NASA Centers, two other government agencies (NOAA and NSF), and 10 universities. Other collaborators were the Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Wing (the Hurricane Hunters) and the U.S. Navy at Jacksonville, Mayport and NAS Key West.

FSA Unwittingly Blames Itself in RBS Fiasco
The U.K. Financial Services Authority unwittingly pointed the finger of blame back at itself by concluding Thursday that Royal Bank of Scotland executives didn't break the rules in the lead-up to the bank's near collapse.
It said it found no regulatory breaches in the poorly-timed and massive acquisition of ABN Amro in 2007, the subsequent rights issue in 2008 to help cover loses at the Dutch bank, or in RBS' earlier decision to expand aggressively into the riskiest corners of investment banking.
That took former CEO Fred Goodwin and other members of the RBS board off the hook for any formal liability, though they were found guilty long ago in the court of public opinion and some shareholders are continuing to pursue compensation for their losses.
The business moves that contributed to RBS' weakened state when the crisis hit were described by the FSA Thursday as "bad decisons"–which sounds like something of an understatement in light of RBS' £28 billion 2008 net loss and transfer of 83% of its shares to the U.K. government in exchange for enough cash to survive.
Obviously, panicked markets and the lack of confidence in banks in the wake of Lehman Brothers' failure played a huge role in RBS' fall into majority state ownership. But the regulator's conclusion that no one within RBS was particularly to blame begs the question about its own role in the matter.
While Goodwin and his lieutenants were propelling the bank toward its near demise, the FSA was supposed to be making sure RBS was sound, and fulfilling its broader task of protecting the stability of the U.K.'s financial system. But just months after approving RBS' purchase of ABN Amro and determining it had enough capital to support it, it was signing off on the prospectus for RBS' £12 billion rights issue to help cover losses in the Dutch bank's rapidly-deteriorating credit portfolios.
Interestingly, FSA CEO Hector Sants just last week criticised the Bank of England for being slow in "fessing up" to mistakes made in the crisis. Perhaps it's a surprise then that the regulator has yet to study or acknowledge its role in two of the U.K.'s major banks falling into part state ownership.
It previously admitted that it didn't adequately supervise Northern Rock before its 2007 failure.

Camping Season
Now that it's cool enough to enjoy a campfire, we should talk about where to pitch your tent. Let's skip the chatter about fall in Florida — everyone knows it's the best time of year — and jump right into this list.
Peace River Campground, 2998 State Road 70, Arcadia. peacerivercampground.com; 863-494-9693.#1 Peace River Campground
My favorite place to go — the place I recommend to friends, family and everyone else — is the Peace River Campground in Arcadia. It's a short drive from the Gulf Coast. It's got a separate camping area for tents. It's along the Peace River. You want to drive past all the RVs to a primitive camping area known as "The Wilderness." Look for a campsite on a bluff overlooking a bend in the river. Just typing this makes me want to pack my tent and drive to Arcadia. You can rent a canoe or bring your own. You can fish or barbecue. You can buy firewood and supplies at the campground store.
Floridastateparks.org/cayocosta; reserveamerica.com; 800-326-3521.#2. Cayo Costa State Park
Next up is Cayo Costa State Park south of Englewood. Not so convenient, but it's like a fantasy island for Florida campers. Catch the Pine Island ferry. Pitch your tent near the beach. Fall asleep listening to the surf. Wake up and walk along 9 miles of deserted beach. The ferry and a state park tram that will drop you and all your gear at the primitive camping area. If you're an experienced kayaker, you can paddle across Boca Grande Pass from Gasparilla Island, which is a classic Gulf Coast trip.
Fs.usda.gov/activity/ocala/; 877-444-6777.#3. Ocala National Forest
This is a road trip north of Orlando, but it's worth the drive. The best campsites are near springs — Alexander Spring, Juniper Spring, Salt Spring. Hiking, biking and paddling go along with the camping. So does a change in scenery and climate. If it's balmy in Sarasota, it's cooler in Ocala. If it's cooler in Sarasota, it's nippy in Ocala. If it's nippy in Sarasota, it's downright chilly in Ocala. Throw an extra log on the campfire.
Reserveamerica.com; 800-326-3521.#4. Bahia Hinda State Park
Another road trip, this one wayyy south into the Florida Keys. Waterfront campsites are booked months in advance, but sometimes you can get lucky with a cancellation. My daughter somehow snagged a prime spot for Dec. 14.
Turtle Beach Campground, 8862 Midnight Pass Road, Siesta Key. email@example.com; 941-349-3839.#5. Turtle Beach Campground
Not as nice as Bahia Honda, but this county park is a heckuva lot closer. It's really an RV park, but you can pitch a tent. A short walk drops you right on the beach. Busy in winter. Again, hope for a cancellation.
Floridastateparks.org/Highlandshammock; 863-386-6094.#6. Highlands Hammock State Park
This park south of Arcadia has a gorgeous loop road and boardwalk, along with a Civilian Conservation Corps Museum. The camping area isn't so spectacular, but it is nearby. Maybe I'm just being picky.
#7. Myakka River State Park
Great park, but not-so-great camping. The park cabins, though, are a fine deal for families.
8. Oscar Scherer State Park
Another local option at 1843 S. Tamiami Trail. Tenters mix with RVers, which isn't ideal, but the sites are woodsy and private.
Rye Preserve, 905 Rye Wilderness Trail, Parrish. 745-3723.#9. Rye Wilderness Preserve
Just a few tent sites along the upper end of the Manatee River, which is a good thing.
Myakka State Forest, 2000 S. River Rd., Englewood. 460-1333.#10. Myakka State Forest
This is recreational land that belongs to the Southwest Florida Water Management District. The best of these South County campsites are along the Myakka River.

The old graphic arts room:
This collection boasts some 12,000 engravings and more than 1,000 old drawings from the Dutuit bequest. Of the two donor brothers, the elder, Eugène, was the first to develop a very sure taste for bibliophily, prints and drawings by the masters covering the period from the 5th to the 18th century. With his brother Auguste, he firmly believed that an artist should be represented simultaneously by his paintings, drawings and engravings, the most striking example being Rembrandt, not forgetting masters such as Ruisdael, Fragonard and Hubert Robert.
The Northern schools dominate the field of engraving, with Schongauer's complete works, works by Dürer, Lucas de Leyde and in pride of place, Rembrandt. The Petit Palais holds more than 350 fine works in addition to a dozen drawings by this undisputed master of the etching. Artist-painters, draughtsman and engravers such as A. van de Velde, A. van Ostade, A. van Everdingen and N. Berchem, among others, represent the Dutch Golden Age.
In the 12th century field, the portraiture skills of the Flemish painter Van Dyck (The Iconography) can be admired both in the medium of engraving and drawing.
The Italian school offers a rare selection of 15th century niellos, some fine works by Mantegna and Pollaiolo and an almost complete collection of works by Stefano della Bella and Raimondi, "Raphael's engraver".
The French school of the 17th century is represented by a fine collection of works by Claude Gellée and some beautiful examples of engraved portraits by Nanteuil and Morin. The great names of French 18th century – Fragonard, Debucourt, Watteau, Gabriel de Saint-Aubin – are present in engravings and drawings.
These collections are kept in storage on account of their fragile condition. Temporary exhibitions are organised around these holdings, enabling the general public to admire their quality and richness. Researchers can enter the conservation area by appointment.

The Merchant of Venice
by William Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice Friendship Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Norton Shakespeare edition.
Quote #1
Well, tell me now what lady is the same
To whom you swore a secret pilgrimage,
That you today promised to tell me of? (1.1.126-128)
Bassanio's love life is the first thing Antonio brings up with Bassanio when they're alone together in the play. Maybe he's just one of those guys who likes to gossip, or maybe Bassanio has been on his mind. Bassanio's new courtship seems likely to be the source of Antonio's sadness, as it's at the forefront of his mind. Antonio clearly cares deeply about Bassanio as a friend, and he's facing the fact that he might lose him to this woman.
Quote #2
To you, Antonio,
I owe the most in money and in love,
And from your love I have a warranty
To unburden all my plots and purposes
How to get clear of all the debts I owe. (1.1.137-141)
Bassanio says he's sharing with Antonio because they're friends, but he makes explicit that he owes Antonio the most in "money and love." (It turns out that Antonio has been very generous with Bassanio, who has a hard time keeping his finances in order.) This is our first hint that friendship might mean a different thing for Bassanio than it does for Antonio. Bassanio might just be working on Antonio's affection in order to keep his purse strings open.
Quote #3
I pray you, good Bassanio, let me know it;
And if it stand, as you yourself still do,
Within the eye of honor, be assured
My purse, my person, my extremest means
Lie all unlocked to your occasions. (1.1.142-146)
Antonio is willing to do anything to help his friend, including loaning him the money to woo Portia. What's interesting is that Antonio says that it's not just his "purse" (wallet) that's "unlock'd" for Bassanio's use; he is also making his entire "person" available to his friend, which may suggest a sexual relationship.

KATHMANDU: Tibetan refugees living in Nepal face tighter curbs on freedom of expression and assembly as the tiny Himalayan nation succumbs to pressure from neighbour China, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said yesterday.
Nepal is home to more than 20,000 Tibetans — for many from as far back as 1959, when their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, fled to India after a failed uprising against China.
In its report, HRW said Tibetans in Nepal faced a "de facto ban" on political protests against China and curbs on public activities promoting their culture and religion. Tibetans interviewed by the rights body accused Nepali security forces of abuses such as excessive use of force, arbitrary detention, intimidation and intrusive surveillance.
"The situation for the Tibetan refugee community in Nepal has markedly deteriorated since China's violent crackdown on protests in Tibet in 2008," said HRW's Asia director, Brad Adams.
"While good relations with China are important, restricting basic rights crosses a red line," Adams said in a statement.
Nepali officials dismissed the report, denying the accusations of mistreatment. REUTERS

MHI forecasts growth of material handling equipment orders of 5% to 6% for 2013
May 24, 2013 - MMH Editorial
Material handling equipment new orders grew 7.2% in 2012 and are forecasted to grow 5.0% to 6.0% in 2013 and 10.0% or more in 2014, according to the latest Material Handling Equipment Manufacturing Forecast (MHEM) released by MHI.
"As the current US economic expansion shifts from capital expenditure driven to consumer-led, we anticipate modest, positive MHEM growth for 2013. Housing, automotive rebounds and expansion in industrial, warehouse and commercial buildings (over 69% 2014 - 2018) will contribute substantially to improved MHEM growth for 2014 and beyond," says Hal Vandiver, MHI executive consultant.
In addition, material handling equipment shipments grew 9.8% in 2012 and are forecasted to grow 3.5% in 2013 and 9.1% in 2014. Domestic demand (shipments plus imports less exports) grew an 10.9% in 2012 and is estimated to grow 3.4% in 2013 and just over 9.5% in 2014.
MHEM Trade growth slowed by more than 50.0% in 2012 reflecting reduced US demand and serious problems in foreign markets. Import growth in 2012 was 17.9%, down from 37.7% in 2011. Export growth was 11.2% in 2012, down from 26.2% in 2011. MHEM Imports and Exports are expected to slow dramatically in 2013 and rebound modestly beginning mid-2014.
The MHEM forecast of material handling equipment manufacturing is released each quarter by MHIA and looks 12 to 18 months forward to anticipate changes in the material handling and logistics marketplace.

Bosnians went to the polls on October 3 to vote in general elections dominated by issues of nationalism and ethnicity.Official results of the vote show a candidate described as a moderate heading for victory in the election to become the Muslim member of the national tripartite presidency.
The results show Bakir Izetbegovic, the son of Bosnia's wartime Muslim leader Alija Izetbegovic, winning about 34 percent -- on track to oust incumbent nationalist Haris Silajdzic.
Speaking as the result was becoming clear, Izetbegovic pledged to cooperate with other ethnic groups to encourage the country's economic development.
The results show the incumbent Croat member of the presidency, Zeljko Komsic, who also favors a peaceful multi-ethnic Bosnia, headed for reelection.
Serbian incumbent Nebojsa Radmanovic, who backs Bosnian Serb separation, was leading in the vote for the Serbian presidential member.
However, election officials said 13 percent of ballots had been ruled void in the Serbian voting, and the possibility of electoral fraud would be investigated.
Turnout in the vote -- the sixth general elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina since the end of the 1992-1995 war -- was some 56 percent, the highest since 2002.More than 8,000 candidates from 39 political parties and 11 coalitions are competing for seats in the central parliament and the central presidency, which rotates among three representatives of the country's main ethnic groups: Croats, Serbs, and Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims).Voters will also elect deputies for the parliaments of its two semiautonomous entities, the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska and the Muslim-Croat Federation, and choose Republika Srpska's own regional president.Nationalist RhetoricRepublika Srpska and the Muslim-Croat Federation are two separate entities within Bosnia that were established by the 1995 Dayton peace accord following the 1992-1995 Bosnian war.Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks still remain entrenched in their own communities. Political leaders have been trying to mobilize their own ethnic vote through nationalist rhetoric.

SAN CARLOS — In the not too distant future, a sign that says "Palin for President 2012" could pop up along Highway 101.
That's because a federal judge last week ordered San Carlos to stop enforcing part of its sign ordinance in response to a lawsuit that contends the law violates free speech rights.
The lawsuit was filed last month by Nevada resident Jeffrey Herson, who applied to erect a large sign near Highway 101 with the Sarah Palin message on one side and a "No on Measure C, November 4, 2012" message on the other side.
Herson's suit alleges that in denying his application Sept. 4, the city essentially offered greater protection to commercial speech than political speech in violation of the First and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
The sign ordinance restricts the size of political signs to 32 square feet or smaller unless the city's Architectural Review Committee approves a larger size. Herson proposed building a pole sign with a face 14 feet high and 48 feet across.
The ordinance also says political signs cannot be erected sooner than 60 days before an election and must be taken down seven days after the election.
The lawsuit, which also lists California-based East Bay Outdoor Inc. as a plaintiff, points out that other types of signs, including those indicating the location or direction of a place and "community activity signs," do not have size or time limitations.
"San Carlos treats political speech differently than other speech," said Alan Herson, the plaintiff's father and the attorney representing him in the case. "It has it backwards. Political speech is the most protected speech under the First Amendment."
In a temporary restraining order issued Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel said the lawsuit is likely to succeed on the claim that the city's ordinance "singles out political speech for special treatment and appears to place greater burdens on it than on commercial speech and nonpolitical noncommercial speech."
Patel also said the city appears to grant government officials "unfettered discretion to determine who may or may not speak by failing to impose sufficient objective standards and by allowing for an unlimited time for the city's review."
The judge ordered the city to stop enforcing restrictions on the size or timing of political signs and to accept Jeffrey Herson's application. He submitted a second application last week, and the city is reviewing it, said David Rosenbaum, an attorney for the city.
Rosenbaum said the lawsuit attempts to "confuse the issue of medium and content." He said the city requires permits for large signs to make sure they are built properly, but it is not interested in regulating the message.
"What we're saying is, no, you need to have a building permit process, to make sure your pole sign is adequately safe," Rosenbaum said. "And frankly, if you want to put your political speech on it, we don't care."
Staff on Monday will ask the City Council to declare an emergency 45-day ban of new signs until the constitutional issues can be worked out.
"In lieu of winding up in further battles with others, let's stop, take a deep breath, figure out what's right and wrong," Rosenbaum said. "If we've made a mistake, we don't want to make more mistakes, so we need to stop things now."
Rosenbaum declined to say whether the temporary ban would prevent Jeffrey Herson from building his sign.
Alan Herson said the city is insisting the latest application be heard by its Planning Commission, which doesn't meet again until Nov. 2, the day before the local election. He said the city is "ignoring" the judge's order and filed a motion Wednesday asking the judge to hold it in contempt of court.
Asked about the moratorium the council will consider Monday, Alan Herson said, "I think some of those council members better consult with an attorney first or they're going to be in jail."
Alan Herson has argued against sign ordinances in other jurisdictions, including Oakland and Richmond and several cities in Oregon. He refused to say why his son wants to erect a sign supporting former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin or why he chose San Carlos.
"He wants to put up a sign in San Carlos," Alan Herson said. "Everything else is irrelevant."

The University of Mary Washington men's lacrosse team dropped an 11-5 decision at Goucher College on Wednesday afternoon in Towson, Md. The Eagles fall to 4-4 on the season.
The Gophers jumped ahead with the first two goals of the game, but the Eagles cut the deficit to 2-1 with 2:51 remaining in the first quarter on Sean Dacey (Round Hill, Va., Loudoun Valley) 's unassisted score. Goucher netted the game's next two goals, before junior Harry Snyder (Charlottesville, Va., St. Anne's-Belfield) scored the first of his team-high three goals with 9:20 left in the second quarter. The Gophers led, 5-2, at halftime.
The Gophers scored the first two goals of the second half to up the lead to 7-2 and put the game away. Snyder, Dacey, and Evan Weiss (Oakton, Va., Madison) all scored second-half goals for the Eagles. Goucher outshot the Eagles, 31-20, and had 34 ground balls to 29 for UMW. Ryan Montgomery (Chapel Hill, N.C., Chapel Hill) had four saves for the Eagles.
Mary Washington will host St. Mary's College in Capital Athletic Conference action on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

So, let me ask you something. Do YOU think the ATF is worth 1.1 BILLION taxpayer dollars per year? They do.
Jack Booted Thug Central, or, as "Mad Bob" of the Dogtown Rangers calls it, "The Concrete Asshole of the Universe." The new ATF headquarters in DC.
A tip of the boonie hat and my thanks to BPWZ for forwarding this link to the ATF's Congressional Budget Submission for Fiscal Year 2010. Dated May 2009, it asks for a total of $1,120,772,000.00, of which $1,114,772,000.00 is "Direct Salaries and Expenses." Well paid jbt's, ain't they?
They also ask for $616,000.00 as part of Operation Gunrunner "to purchase armored vehicles and tracking devices to ensure the safety of ATF personnel."
Supposedly this is to protect their roidal asses when they cross over the border into Mexico. For the money, this is probably just for up-armored Suburbans, and hey, in a billion-plus dollar budget, what's a mere $616,000.00? Chump change. At least they don't have an Air Force of their own anymore.
Of course with ACORN going around to everybody's houses and plugging in their GPS coordinates (as happened to my mother recently in Marion, Ohio)as an alleged part of "the Census," there's no need for direct personal confrontation any more. Just program a cruise missile or Predator, right? (Pity Herod didn't have that technology at his fingertips when he decided to kill all the new-born babies in his kingdom, huh?)
Note: Be sure and get the name, the complete name, from his/her driver's license, of all ACORN volunteers before you refuse to answer their questions. That way, you have as much information on them as, or more, as they are likely to have on you.
Anyway, enjoy perusing the budget request and justifications of the National Bureau of Jack Booted Thugs. After all, it is your tax dollars at work.

Quite a strategically-made building and surrounding fortifications. Those sorts of things don't exist where people are free.

Damn, there's more fortification on that than there was on army barracks and cop shops in northern Ireland.
Infact, there's more fortifications than Ive seen on African dictators' palaces.
What did Machiavelli say about castles?
Something about "when a Prince has the love of his people, he is better off not building castles, because if he is invaded, he will have the difficulty of re taking them".
There must be some sense of not being loved there

It's typical JBT commander thinking, that a fortress will keep them safe and comfortable.
Truck bomb is so sloppy "-nineties", but the building is designed as anti-truckbomb standoff architecture with a little Romanesque Late Empire thrown in for the rubes.
The "dragons teeth" and Hardened Homes & Gardens planter boxes really invite the public in, don't they? It's almost as charming to the Republic as a chain link fence in front of the lawn at 1600 Pennsylvania.
I'm guessing that the maze around that building contains a multi-array of sensors to detect almost anything as it walks or rolls up. That adds plenty to build and maintenance cost.
Are they going to camp out in there forever? MRE's start to suck after about the 3rd one, even with heater packs. Got water?
I don't think so. There is no-where "safe enough" or far enough away when there are so few friends and new enemies daily.
Don't they know that the future of mass-murder (or "appropriate killing", depending on ones' position on these things) in buildings is using N-B-C's done as an inside job?
The building will be a museum/monument to FedGov excesses in the Nine Nations of North America to come, assuming that there will be anything more than one rock piled on another in DC after the Chinese are done with it.
ps: verification word "bedbang"

Like the J Edgar Hoover Building (FBI HQ), the new F Troop headquarters is defensive design vs. civil disorder.
Don't forget about the ATF Laboratory in Beltsville MD.

The ATF HQ also includes a memorial for the four agents killed at Waco. Contrast that with the humble memorial left by survivors at Mt Carmel (I think their original memorial was eventually dug up). I think there were even memorials for the ATF agents there at Mt Carmel too.

If I only knew it was F Troops I could have put a nice 'Kiss my Ass' in the concrete while it was still wet.

All of this for a government agency that shouldn't even exist.

has there ever been a black head of ATF? Obama could set some more precedent here, but it's about power not racial justice for the DNC, as evidenced by this..apparently AG eric holder is sufficient for now..
note the glass palace and memorial for a few agents but none for their genocide victims at Waco, primarily children.

On April 5, 15 local businesses and organizations provided information about employment opportunities to 130 students at Fusion Charter's first career fair. Attendees also heard from three guest speakers who shared information on what employers are looking for from job candidates to what type of experience they can include on a first resume.
As a college student studying homelessness in the last 2 months, I have concluded that more efforts have to be exerted to help put an end to the issue of homelessness and help those in need. Despite efforts by various programs and shelters to try and help the homeless people, many of them have not received proper funding by the state, leaving several citizens in need of help. Many people throughout the community are aware of the growing epidemic of homelessness throughout Stanislaus County. According to Stanislaus Housing & Support Services Collaborative, in 2015 there were approximately 1,400 homeless men ...
I wish that, when presented with a street closure request by Mr. Cipponeri who sought to completely supplant our non-profit, volunteer Turlock Certified Farmers' Market-time, place, and location-that the Turlock City Council had simply accepted the permit for review and turned it down.
I have been following the controversy in regards to the farmers market, I read where Mr. Cipponeri and his father in-law had contributed to then-candidate now Mayor Gary Soiseth. I am surprised nobody has made a bigger issue of this.
Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
A city is made up of roads, sidewalks, parks, schools, and stores. Most importantly, a city is a community of various individuals living their lives. Different cities have different characteristics and atmospheres. They carry in them different experiences and histories. They mean different things to different people. However, in what seems to be this simple question, one finds that the complexities of life are demonstrated in the social fabric of modern civilization, the city.
It became clear during the Turlock City Council meeting of Feb. 20 that the debate over the future of the city's farmers' market is in large part a debate over the future and character of Turlock.
As committed downtown business owners, we have enjoyed contributing to the revitalization of Main Street over the past few years. We have been delighted to see the Farmers' Market evolve and bring so much life to our downtown. However, the success of the market has not come without sacrifices being made on our parts, most specifically related to a portion of Main Street being closed each week.
Turlock is a great city with a lot to be proud of, from our college campus to our fairgrounds to our downtown. We are just as fortunate to have an institution like the Carnegie Arts Center in our own backyard. The unique events they offer to all residents– including world-class art exhibits, free family activities, classes, concerts, lectures, dance, poetry and theater programs – make our city and region a more enriching and exciting place to live. They even play host to the Sunshine Strummers, a local ukulele group that I've been known to frequent from time to time!
It makes us incredibly sad as current members of the Turlock Certified Farmers' Market when we read the Turlock City Council is still considering who will get the upcoming market. It's hard to understand what there is to consider when the town already has a good market, a market that has proven itself year after year. Derek Griffin has done an amazing job as the acting manager, bringing in vendors and adding special events to offer a market for all of the community. Young or old, there is something for everyone.
Over the past few weeks, I've read many letters supporting a market in downtown Turlock. I too am a supporter of a market in downtown Turlock. Unfortunately, the current management of the market (Turlock Certified Farmers' Market or TCFM) failed to apply for a street closure permit for the 2016 season before another party (Golden State Farmers Market Association or GSFMA) applied. Based on past practices, street closure permits are processed by City staff to the first party to apply; in this case, it was GSFMA.
We are aware that establishing a place in the community takes trust and is accomplished through years of hard work. The Modesto Certified Farmers Market has been operating for the last 37 years in the same location as a result of said trust. We feel we have a loyal customer and vendor base because of this stability. Establishing that base has taken years of constantly tailoring the market to the needs of the community and customer base.
This letter is written in support of the Turlock Certified Farmers' Market. The Greenery sincerely appreciates the hard work by volunteers to develop the market over the past several years. As a local business, we understand the dedication and hard work it takes to create and grow an event like the farmers' market, as well as rally local support year after year. We feel that TCFM is composed of hard-working individuals that have worked hard merely for the cause of the market.
I want to express the experience I had with the Turlock farmers' market of 2015. It was my first year as a vendor and it was a wonderful and fun event! It was extremely organized, stress-free and supportive, and a happy place to be. I looked forward to each Saturday with excitement and gratitude. The community was brought closer together and folks from surrounding towns fell in love with our market, and therefore our town! It was a win for vendors, customers, businesses and the town as a whole.
When I told my grandmother, a lifelong resident of Turlock, I'm running for the YCCD Board against the incumbent of twenty years, she became ...
I'm writing to encourage Turlock voters in District 4 to re-elect Amy Bublak to Turlock's City Council. In all the conversations I've ...

There Is No Dog
by Meg Rosoff
There Is No Dog Theme of Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
Every time Apple gets ready to announce the new iPhone, we remember why people are filled with hope for the future. But when we look outside our bubble—at famine, war, ethnic cleansing, drought, floods, you name it—things stop looking so hot. In There Is No Dog, Earth teeters on the edge of hope and hopelessness. Throughout the novel, the characters struggle with finding hope in a world that seems hopelessly damaged by a terrible God. In the end, somehow, they manage to find a little bit of hope in all the muck—and it's not even branded by Apple.
Questions About Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
- There are a few scenes in the novel that inspire hope in the characters. What are they? Why do they make them hopeful?
- There Is No Dog is full of hopes, dreams, and plans. Who are the biggest dreamers? Which hopes come true? Which ones don't?
- For most of the novel Earth is described as a hopeless place. What qualities make this true? Which qualities make this false?
Chew on This
In There Is No Dog, Earth and its inhabitants are hopeless. There is no point to all the suffering, and Rosoff suggests humans would be better off just giving up.
Even though life is difficult and God is capricious, humans in There Is No Dog never give up hope.

In my experience, the more you pay for a hoodie, the better the quality, and so far with all of the NHL team hoodies that I've bought in the past online,both expensive and not expensive, this has proven to be true. The more expensive one's have been thicker and more durable with better logo work, whereas the less expensive hoodies have been thinner and not as durable, and have mediocre stitching around the front pockets that come apart easily, and after going through the washing machine a few times, the logo's on the less expensive hoodies, seems to split and fade faster, even when washed on a warm gentle cycle and dried the same way. It would be really nice if the team logo was also on the back of the hoodies too. Sure it would cost more, but it would be worth it. Overall I'm happy with the hoodies that I've bought, and I've bought a lot, I think the prices should be less and it would be nice to be able to get a better close up of the hoodie before you add it to your cart. You get what you pay for in this case.

Daria: Just the Beginning
An expressive singer with a clear, crisp voice and excellent range, Daria is at her best when she keeps things simple, as on a stripped down version of Ellington and Strayhorn's "Daydream," with the vocals backed only by Bill Douglass' bass and Sheldon Brown's bass clarinet. She shows an affinity for breezy, tropical sounds on a solid reading of Jobim's "Double Rainbow" (with words by author/lyricist Gene Lees). She also does well on a more slickly produced pop-jazz original, "Japanese Love Affair."
Daria is less successful on the opening number, the beautiful standard "Angel Eyes," which is marred by her rather overwrought unaccompanied scatting. Readers should note that this CD clocks in at just around thirty minutes.

Asus Transformer Book TX300CA Review and Ratings

- What We Liked…
- Large, sharp, bright screen
- Excellent battery life in laptop mode
- Fast performance when plugged in
- Detachable design
- Lots of storage
- What We Didn't…
- Heavy for its class in laptop mode
- Performance drops significantly running on battery
- Memory isn't upgradable
Asus Transformer Book TX300CA Review
By June 21, 2013reviewed
Table of Contents
Introduction & Design
To keep the keyboard or lose it? Some hybrids convert from laptop to tablet mode by folding, spinning, or sliding the screen over the keyboard. Others, like HP's Envy x2 and Acer's Iconia W510, split into two pieces, letting you leave the detachable keyboard behind and carry the screen as a pure tablet. Such designs are less awkward in tablet form, since you're not holding the weight of an extraneous keyboard when using the touch screen.
This is a category that Asus knows well, having created a number of Android convertibles in its Transformer line, such as the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700. Now the company has applied that experience to a Windows convertible, the Transformer Book TX300CA. While many Windows 8 detachables, such as the Envy x2, are based on power-efficient but performance-challenged Intel Atom processors, the Transformer Book is a powerhouse in comparison.
The Transformer Book (full model name TX300CA-DH71) takes the typical specs for a convertible laptop and kicks them up to 11. It's powered by a speedy Core i7 CPU, boasts a 13.3-inch 1080p screen, and pairs its 128GB solid-state drive with a roomy 500GB hard drive in the keyboard base. In standalone tablet mode, it's bigger and more powerful than most of its competitors. In full-blown notebook mode, it boasts above-average battery life and lots of storage and expansion, albeit in a package that's heavier than similarly spec'd ultrabooks like Asus' own Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DB71.
The TX300CA was announced back in 2012, but didn't start shipping in the U.S. until May of 2013, just before Intel's power-sipping fourth-generation Core chips arrived. That's unfortunate, because some shoppers today may hesitate to buy a premium ($1,449) notebook with an older "Ivy Bridge" Core i7 processor that lacks the power savings and faster graphics of Intel's new "Haswell" silicon. We think, however, the Transformer Book's unique combination of flexibility and performance makes it compelling, even if its core processor has been superseded.
The Transformer Book both looks and feels like a solid, well-built device. Its aluminum shell has excellent build quality, with no flex in either the tablet or keyboard components. When detached from the keyboard, the 13.3-inch tablet portion is attractive, with edge-to-edge glass covering its bright 1080p IPS screen and illuminated Windows button. When snapped onto the keyboard, the unit's rear hinge and slightly above-average thickness are the only giveaways that it's not your standard MacBook Air-mimicking ultrabook.
Well, that and the weight. The dual-purpose design of this convertible makes for a device that's heavier than comparable one-piece ultrabooks. The keyboard and the tablet portions weigh in at 2.1 pounds apiece, for an assembled total of 4.2 pounds that's significantly heavier than comparable 13-inch ultrabooks.
Lenovo's convertible IdeaPad Yoga 13, for example, tips the scales at 3.4 pounds, while numerous non-convertible ultrabooks weigh 3.0 pounds or less. The Transformer Book is, however, lighter than HP's recently announced Split x2, a 13.3-inch detachable that weighs 4.9 pounds despite its lower-resolution 1,366x768 display.

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawns early light, what so proudly he flailed ..."
Imagine, if you will, such an opening statement by Francis Scott Key, defense attorney for Sam Houston in an assault case in 1832 in Washington, D.C.
The man who wrote The Star Spangled Banner had a way with words, and that's probably why Sam, after beating the tar out of a congressman with his hickory cane, picked him as his defense attorney.
Congressman William Stanbery of Ohio had enraged Houston with ugly remarks about him in a speech before the House of Representatives. He accused Houston, a former congressman from Tennessee, of fraud and corruption in connection with a rations program for Indians.
The remarks particularly hit a sore spot with Houston, an honorary Cherokee who had the Indians' best interest at heart and, in fact, paraded around in full Indian regalia.
The day after the infamous speech, Houston had to be restrained by Congressman James Polk from charging into the House to confront Stanbery. Houston
then wrote a note to Stanbery demanding that the congressman explain his accusations or prepare to defend his honor. When Stanbery did not respond, Houston grew madder by the minute.
The newspaper, the Telegraph, added more fuel to the fire, printing Stanbery's speech and agreeing with the speech-maker.
Aptly, on a Friday the 13th in April, 1832, Houston was strolling down a street with friends when he spotted Stanbery. He yelled at him, demanding an explanation for the slanderous comments, and when Stanbery looked the other way, trying to ignore him, Houston came after him.
Wielding his hickory cane, Houston proceeded to hit him over and over.
He nearly killed the poor guy and nearly got killed himself. Knowing he was on Houston's hit list, Stanbery carried a pistol and during the attack he fumbled for the weapon, finally found it, and it misfired.
The gun made Houston even more furious. "Damn rascal!" he kept yelling, hitting his victim. He continued to flail away until his friends managed to pull him off the poor guy.
Stanbery then requested that Houston be charged with assault and tried by the House of Representatives. He said he had been waylaid by the giant Tennessean who severely bruised and wounded him.
For the first time ever, the House had a private citizen arrested for attacking one of its members for words spoken before Congress. The trial dragged on, day after day, wtih attorney Key declaring he was proud to stand by such a man in such a cause and saying that Houston was not a man of violence but was a patriot who had given his right arm for his country at Horsehoe Bend. Stanbery, armed and ready, was the violent one, claimed Key. The defense attorney also argued that the House members should not be conducting the trial in the first place, that they were violating the separation of powers guaranteed by the Constitution. Sam, always the ham, insisted on starring in the final scene, making his own closing statements. "I'll take over, now. Thank you, Francis. "
Francis Scott Key himself could not have made a more star-spangled, flag-waving, super patriot speech than that of his client. Sams mesmerized audience responded with a standing ovation. He didn't get off Francis Scott Key-free, however. The House found him guilty but his punishment was a mere reprimand.
It's not over yet. Stanbery pursued the case in the city court which also found him guilty and slapped him with a $500 fine. It's still not over.
In the twilight's last gleaming, President Andrew Jackson pardoned Sam and he never paid a cent. Thanks to Wanda Orten in "Texas Escapes"
Oakhurst is located in San Jacinto County, Texas, on Highway 190 15 miles east of Huntsville. Take FM 946 south from 190 and drive 2.4 miles. Look for a sign on the left pointing to Raven Hill Cemetery. Exit to the right to Raven Hill Road, but keep to the left and go straight ahead on Jenkins Road, resisting the urge to go right on Raven Hill. You will drive about 0.4 miles to Raven Hill Cemetery Road, turn right and drive a short distance to Raven Hill Cemetery on the right.
To the box:
Enter the gate and go to the back left corner of the chain link fence and look under leaves and pieces of concrete. This cemetery lies on or very close to Sam Houston's plantation, Raven Hill. There is an historical monument nearby, but it is remote and on private property and, therefore, inaccessible.

Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using sorafenib safely.
Do not have immunizations/vaccinations without the consent of your doctor, and avoid contact with people who have recently received oral polio vaccine or flu vaccine inhaled through the nose.
To lower the chance of getting cut, bruised or injured, use caution with sharp objects like safety razors and nail cutters, and avoid activities such as contact sports.
If you need to have a surgical or dental procedure, tell your doctor or dentist that you are using sorafenib.
Wash your hands well to prevent the spread of infections.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially QT prolongation (see above).
Since this drug can be absorbed through the skin and lungs and may harm an unborn baby, women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle this medication or breathe the dust from the tablets.
This medication is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It may harm an unborn baby. To avoid pregnancy, both males and females using sorafenib must use reliable form(s) of birth control during treatment and for at least 2 weeks after stopping this drug. Consult your doctor for more details.
It is not known whether this drug passes into breast milk. Because of the possible risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Carlton Valentine was busy working out Wednesday at the Michigan Athletic Club with a high school basketball player from Haslett. The Sexton High boys coach is busy working with many players during the summer months, but his world changes early Thursday. Valentine flies to Washington D. C. where he is one of eight high school coaches taking part in the NIKE elite camp.
The U. S. Olympic team will also be on hand and it's three days of basketball fun. Valentine is from Washington D. C. where he starred in high school at DeMatha. He gets to go to the White House for a visit on Sunday night with the rest of the NIKE group, where he has visited only once previously.
Valentine has become the premier coach in the area at least in notoriety because of Sexton's two consecutive class B state titles. The hits just keep on coming in post season honors and he thinks if his next team puts some chemistry together it can contend for another state title. Even though three division one players graduated last month.

Kim Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Would it be possible to tell Kim's story without the lama's quest for the River of the Arrow? What would Kim's coming-of-age narrative look like without his elderly mentor and friend helping him along?
- We have mentioned that Kim is totally filled with subtle signs of Kipling's pro-imperialist worldview. What would this book like if it were written today? Would it be possible to portray Kim's adventures without a colonialist backdrop? Can you imagine a character like Kim in today's British Secret Service?
- How would Kim be different if the Kim in the title were actually short for Kimberly? In other words, what if Kim were a girl? Could girl-Kim have the same kinds of adventures that boy-Kim has at the turn of the twentieth century? What kinds of extra restrictions might girl-Kim face on her quest for adventure?
- While reading this novel, we often ask ourselves: how much do you think the lama either knows or wants to know about Kim's chosen job of secret agent? Do you think the lama is completely oblivious to Kim's side missions, or do you think he turns a blind eye to the worldly activities of his disciple? How do you think Kim appears to the lama, ethically speaking?
- Why do you think the novel stops just before Kim becomes an official British Indian Secret Service agent? We know that Kim is set on his career path by the end of the book, but we don't actually see Creighton officially telling him, yes, you are now a full-time, full-pay spy. Would you read the adventures of grown-up Kim? Why might Kipling not be as interested in writing Kim's life as an adult spy?
- A lot of adventure novels that focus on coming-of-age include groups of friends facing the challenges of growing up together. So, in Harry Potter, we have Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and in The Hunger Games, we have Katniss, Peeta, and Gale. Why doesn't Kim really seem to have friends of his own age? How would Kim be different if it were about a group of young would-be British Indian spies?

Hint: Easy kill ratings:
Go to the first mission in Carthage, Michigan (Quarantine
Zone). Equip yourself with: knife, air pistol (if available),
C8 (or other scoped rifle), and a sidearm of your choice. Begin
the mission and save the CHA agent. Go up the ladder and shoot
the CHA agent with the air pistol to get the keypad code. If you
do not have the air pistol, simply shoot the keypad to the door,
but you will have to run from the CHA agent with the keycode.
Run outside and down the ladder then begin using your knife to
kill the terrorists. Do not take the water sample. After all the
terrorists are dead and done respawning, go downstairs into the
mall and die. This will put you back at the beginning of the level,
where all of the terrorists (about ten of them) will have respawned.
Kill them with the knife again. Repeat as desired and exit the
mission when satisfied.
John Liberto.
Alternately, for easy sniper ratings, equip a scoped rifle, EDT
or EPDD, and the auxiliary and sidearm of your choice. Stun the
CHA agent, take the keycode, and get the bio-data gear. Go out
to the balcony to the right of the CHA agent you stunned and begin
sniping. When all of the terrorists are dead, go to the mall and
die. It is imperative that you do not take any samples anywhere,
as this will reset your starting point to the last water sample
you took. Repeat as desired and exit the mission when satisfied.
John Liberto.
Note: For the first two knife ratings, each kill is worth 2% of
the rating (i.e., 50 knife kills equals 100% Intermediate Combat
Knife Specialist). The sniper ratings are a measure of the number
of headshots you get while using the scope to hit terrorists.
You need 750 headshots with a scope to complete all of the sniper
John Liberto.
In the Minsk, International University mission, there is a very
useful way to gain headshot kills and knife kills, as well as
grenade kills (limited by the amount of the grenades that you
have), and normal kills to gain the bonuses that are associated
with the four groups. This occurs when you are walking down the
stairs from the warehouse after disposing the guards. You must
be wearing the worker uniform to perform this trick. If the alarm
is going off, just kill everyone directly below the stairs down
from the warehouse and continue back up the stairs to stop the
upstairs alarm. Do not worry about the downstairs alarm. Run towards
the left from the bottom of the stairs to where you should have
killed three guards dressed in workers outfits, that look like
yourself. To the left of the stairs is the entrance to a small
tunnel that leads to another set of stairs. It looks like a cave.
Run to the bottom of this set of stairs, but do not go up. Instead,
turn around and run back into the room you just came form. The
three guards in workers outfits should now be here, shouting things
at you but not attacking you. Kill them, then run back to the
bottom of the "cave" stairs. Repeat this as many times
as desired. As long as the upstairs alarm is not going off, and
you are wearing the worker outfit, this trick should work.
Do the training repeatedly and use your E.P.D.D. You will get
non-lethal for it as long as you do not burn the man. If you kill
everyone, you will find that you will gain patches quickly. You
can also substitute the E.P.D.D. for a knife, gun, sniper, or
grenade. If you do this for a long time, you can get Elite in
the first four categories. For Team, you must go online.
For an easy sniper rating, go to the second stage equipped with
the firearm of your choice. Make your way to the big open room
in the sewers containing the last bio-terrorist. Kill everyone
in this room -- the enemies in the pipes will respawn seven times
each. It is easy to get 100 headshots within eight minutes. When
available, equip the AUG Mod R for easier sniping.
Hint: Carthage 1:
Go to the end of the mall (follow the C4 trigger man).
Then, go out of the mall. Go to the CHA tent that does not have
the keypad. Go in the tent and get one of the CHA suits. They
now will not shoot you , and the man where the gear is will open
the door for you.
Hint: Carthage 3: Doing Team (rescuing
injured SWAT team members) solo:
To do the team objective at the third level at the
mall, its best you bring the following weapons: Sniper (back),
Air pistol (auxiliary), Stun Jack (melee), Jerico (side arm),
and Smoke Grenade(grenades). Equip the smoke grenades immediately
at the weapon menu before you start the mission. When the mission
begins, quickly run to the first mall entrance which is just a
few feet ahead. Lob a smoke grenade at the door and lock it. Then,
run up on the stairs and go to the bridge with the bomb on it.
Do not bother disarming it. Pick up the injured SWAT officer and
keep walking forward until you see the next pair of stairs. Go
down and head for the safe zone. Drop the officer in the safe
zone and throw two to four smoke grenades at the entrance at the
safe zone. The sniper will not get you when you rescue the next
officer. Go to the next officer and bring him to the safe zone.
Run straight ahead and throw a smoke grenade at the door again
and lock it. Before going up the stairs, equip your stun jack
or air pistol. Do not bother with the enemies. Just keep running
toward the bridge with the bomb on it. Once you are across the
bridge, go right for the third door and lock it. You will not
be fired upon here. Cross the bridge again to the left, then go
straight (in the opposite direction from which you took the first
officer to). If you are lucky, you can lock down the door and
complete the objective easily, However, there is a SWAT officer
who comes in from the door before you can reach it. If he is killed,
you will fail the objective. Knock out the officer (do not kill
him), then lock the door. The mission will then be completed.
Ahmed Enaitalla.
Hint: Murakawa Tower mission: Security
If you get to the security level (level 5) in Murakawa
Tower and the guards trigger the alarm, you do not need a team
member to access the other half of the building. The elevators
from the lobby will take you to one side that is completely shut
off when the alarm is sounded. If this happens, you can still
access the other side of the level, which you need to get to Murakawa's
office (there are more elevators on this side). Go back to level
4 and to the janitor's closet near the back of the floor. Inside
here is a vent which will take you to the other side. When there,
you can kill the guard, activate the elevators, and turn off the
alarm at his security panel.
Hint: Never die:
If you have low health and no armor but have Dormagen
Gas Grenades, throw one at yourself. You will not die but will
restart at the last checkpoint.
Mateo Martinez.
Glitch: Carthage 2: Ultra-rare weapon:
At the equipment screen, select the FAMAS as your back
weapon and choose the other equipment as desired. Press Square
to start the mission. When you get out of the dark tunnel, turn
to the left. Reach the stairs on the left side. At the bottom
of the stairs, select your FAMAS. Go up the stairs to use the
weapon box. You will see that the box is empty. Put your FAMAS
into the box and go back. Then, return to the box and get your
new weapon. That new weapon can be a SG 8, MGL, ACR, M4 or better.
If you are lucky, you will obtain the "(null)" weapon.
That is the OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon). It shoots
three bullets with each trigger press. Note: If you select the
combat shotgun, use the box at the left wall down in the stairs.

Hi all,
i have XML to XML scenario. i have put xi_input.xml in my system and made delete mode in sender communication channel. but its not picking and deleting the data, its giving error in FTP serve as "permission denied" and in runtime work bench error is "Failed to delete file 'xi_input.txt' after processing. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Permission denied'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.". please help me
thanks and regards
Check your FTP folder have read,write and delete rights.
File/Folder is read-only. Make them read/writable.
Hi Pawan,
That means the user id that you have used to login to the ftp folder doesn't have the read/write permissions.
Contact your FTP admin to provide the read/write permissions to the user id you are using in your ftp comm channel .
thanks all of u... but again m getting error "Error: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.transaction.api.TxManagerException: Unable to commit transaction: The transaction has been rolled back: com.sap.engine.services.ts.transaction.TxRollbackException" in RUN TIME WORKBENCH. help me
thanks in advance
So this means: Your "permission denied" problem is fixed now and now you have a new problem, correct?
Please try your without deletion mode. Does it work then?
Anyway: Please check file defaultTrace.trc for more detailed error information.
hi all
those problems got fixed now i have new problem.
i m getting output XML file in my system.but i tried with directly one to one mapping in message mapping, now i did some modification in Message mapping like i concatenate name by X in message mapping and in description i passed ZSUBHODIP as constant then in output i am not getting concatenateed value and constant ZSUBHODIP in name and description.
so can u please tell me where i am wrong and what i need to do
thanks in advance..
I do not exactly understand what you mean. But maybe the parent node of the target fields you are trying to fill is optional and not instantiated.
Did you perform mapping tests in message mapping and were they successful?
And please try to explain your problem a little bit more clearly ...
hi Volker Kolberg
yes i did testing
like i said there is one node "name" and "Description" in source and target in both places.
i am having name in SOURCE XML as "COPC_C03" but i want to change this name to "XCOPC_C03" and in description i have something in source but i want to pass constant value "ZSUBHODIP".i did mapping in message mapping, and when i did the testing in message mapping then in target in message mapping
i got "XCOPC_C03" and "ZSUBHODIP" but when it takes the XML file which is in my system then in output XML name value "XCOPC_C03" and description "ZSUBHODIP" is not coming.
please tell me what to do
yes i activated it too
Please compare the structure and content of your XML file and the XML file used by the message mapping test tool. I think there are some differences.
