Campus Paths - Part II
Tuesday, October 5
Talley Student, Blue Room
Caldwell Lounge
NCSU Transportation invites you to take part in helping to make decisions related to Wolfline services, bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, and traffic management on campus. This is your opportunity to tell us what you like or dislike about Wolfline, traffic, bicycling and walking on campus. Your participation will help determine the future direction of these critical transportation services.
We know you're busy so two dates have been scheduled to accommodate most schedules and locations. If you can't stay for the entire time, please feel free to drop in and take a look at the proposals and offer comments.
A brief overview of the five-year transit plan will be presented which includes three alternative approaches to meeting the transit needs of the community. Additionally, we'll be asking for feedback on suggested future deck locations, traffic operations and bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
After the presentation, participants will be invited to break into small groups to review transit, pedestrian, bicycle, traffic and parking proposals, maps, and offer comments and suggestions.
We strongly urge everyone to take this opportunity to be a proactive part of the decision-making process. Your comments will be taken into consideration as we formulate the final recommendations.

Thanks for posting ... with the information a lot more public, its now people's own damn fault if things get changed to something they don't like.
bbehe
yes because NCSU has never presented something to the students and then completly disregarded student opinion

things that will help like wider roads, more parking and bike lanes cost too much money, they won't do shit
Doc Rambo IV
dear wolfline,
please dont hit me when i am riding my bike.
Make Dan Allen a two-lane, one-way road pointing North.
Make Pullen a two-lane, one-way road pointing South.
All of those assfaces trying to turn left onto Pullen at 5:00 screw it up for the rest of us.
Of course, this would require that they rip out that roundabout they put in on Pullen, but that wouldn't hurt my feelings. Not that I don't like the idea of traffic circles, but I hate sitting in line behind some moron who doesn't understand the difference between a yield and a stop sign and hasn't got the balls to gun it whenever there's an opening.
what's with cent. shuttle not stopping but like 3 times now? it's a waste of bus-space.
"Make Dan Allen a two-lane, one-way road pointing North.
Make Pullen a two-lane, one-way road pointing South."
how about instead, leave Pullen alone, and make half of Dan Allen one way going north, and the other half one way going south?
forkgirl
NOt only widen Dan Allen..............make bus lanes so they do not back it up to Western...........

Tempus Fugitive
I want to know how transportation plans to handle all the increased travel to Centennial Campus next semester. It's only going to get more congested each semester. Get cracking on that people mover / monorail ASAP.
how about jetsons sidewalks? seriously?
Dude, I was thinking about that today. They need elevated sidewalks between Centennial and Main with those airport style walkways.
abugslife
This was actually proposed by a group of Transportation Engineering students 3 years ago who modeled this situation for a senior design project.
"Get cracking on that people mover / monorail ASAP."
Ha! This was a lot more likely a decade ago when the economy was booming and people had a couple extra million to spend. NC State proposed to a company making people movers that they wanted to be a test site for a "brand new" type and that it would go between main and centennial in the spirit that centennial was all about innovation and research etc. problem was...nc state wanted it for free! they thought that they would be doing this company a service enough just by advertising. so as it turns out this company got eaten up by Daimler-Chrysler and daimler was [wisely] like hellll no we aint doing that. SO...that pretty much ends the real part of the story. I did some research on it back when i was on the university standing committee on Physical Environment transportation committee and they said that if students wanted it we could pay for it...i calculated the least possible sum up...bond...etc...worked out to $100/student MIN...SO....more likely is possibly some bus rapid transit of some sort. um yeah. not as cool looking but that's how the cookie seems to always crumble. grrr.
I would be willing to fork over $100 for that. I'd much rather it go to something practical like better transportation than renovating Thompson Theater or increasing distribution of the Nubian Message or whatever else they waste large quantities of money on around here. It's still in the master plan, isn't it? It's not like it's going to help me anyway since I only have one more year, but it would be really cool.
ActOfGod
I'd be willing to pay $100-$200/year to put in a monorail - provided there's also a part going across campus (from belltower to bragaw direction I mean) kinda like Varsity loop. I'd love to see the whole busses-blocking-traffic-on-campus thing come to an end. Replace Varsity with the monorail, add a stop in front of Nelson Hall and another one on that little road that fronts Western between Dan Allen and Avent Ferry, and a third behind all the parking areas near the Admin building and just eliminate buses on the internal roads altogether - all that would be left would be the external roads and Pullen Rd. I could map it out pretty easily except I'm not that artistic so it'd be stick figgers. Unfortunately even if I paid for it there's no way it'd be done before I've graduated ...
There is a proposed $8 fee increase to add three more buses to the current Wolfline routes for Centennial Campus and Wolf Village apartments. Show up and discuss it.
They will need something soon though to facilitate better access between both campuses ... a catapult is kinda old fashioned, but would work if you did it right. Otherwise, the monorail (or something similar) is a very real possibility ... it'll be a necessity in 20 years when the student population reaches near 50,000. Somebody mentioned not seeing it until they graduate ... you'll probably see it by the time your kid is looking to attend college

how bout a subway system from main to centennial and around to some spots on campus? some people don't like the aesthetic appeal of superstructure such as a bridge deck or a monorail system. a monorail would also impose many noise issues for the surrounding businesses, especially the businesses that it is passing right over.
something has got to be done to accomodate the projected students that will be using centennial campus in the future. i believe that dan allen and pullen both need to be 4-laned and that is a real possibility, it could be funded i'm sure. i mean, the university got funding for that 'beautificaton project' for that branch beside bragaw, which has turned out to be a total waste of money.
anyways, my proposed subway system would run from near the intersection of avent ferry and western across mission valley and into centennial campus. completely take out mission valley and rebuild afterwards, put in a stop for mission valley. this wouldn't be an old train style subway, but the bullet type monorail, just underground. also, run the subway through pullen park to get to hillsborough street and run directly under hillsborough street, and put in stops along the way. the park could be reinstalled with no problem, and hillsborough could get a face lift along the way. so now, anyone wanted to go to cent. campus would just have to walk to hillsborough.
trust me, i just had this idea and will probably be shot down pretty hard, but it is just a thought. the monorail would be cheaper, i'm sure.
^^I only discuss things on TWW.

SC to hear arguments on sentencing in contempt plea against Vijay Mallya today
New Delhi [India], November 30 (ANI): Supreme Court will hear arguments on the quantum of sentence in a contempt case against fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya at 2 pm today.
A Bench headed by Justice UU Lalit observed today that since Mallya's counsel has been appearing before it during every hearing, it will hear arguments on the quantum of sentence today only.
The Centre had earlier informed the Supreme Court that legal complexities in the United Kingdom are preventing the extradition of Mallya, but the government is making all efforts and doing its best to extradite him.
Supreme Court was informed by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) that some legal proceedings are still pending in the United Kingdom which is delaying the extradition and under UK law, extradition can't take place till legal issues are resolved.
In the earlier hearing, the Ministry of External Affairs had told the top court that extradition of Mallya was ordered by the highest court of the United Kingdom but it has not been put into effect.
The Supreme Court had earlier directed for Mallya's presence before it after dismissing his review petition against his contempt conviction.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had dismissed a plea filed by Mallya seeking a review of its May 2017 order holding him guilty of contempt for transferring USD 40 million to his children in violation of the court's order, and sought his presence before it on October 5, last year. It had directed Ministry of Home Affairs to ensure his presence in the courtroom on that day.
Mallya is an accused in a bank loan default case of over Rs 9,000 crore involving his defunct Kingfisher Airlines and is presently in the United Kingdom.
The Supreme Court had issued its May 9, 2017, order on a plea by a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India (SBI), claiming he had allegedly transferred USD 40 million received from British firm Diageo to his children in "flagrant violation" of various judicial orders.
Earlier, the apex court had asked Mallya about the "truthfulness" of his disclosure of assets and the transfer of money to his children.
At that time, the top court was dealing with pleas of lending banks seeking contempt action and a direction to Mallya to deposit USD 40 million received from offshore firm Diageo to the banks respectively.
The banks had then accused Mallya of concealing the facts and diverting the money to his son Siddharth Mallya and daughters Leanna Mallya and Tanya Mallya in flagrant violation of the orders passed by the Karnataka High Court. (ANI)

Happy Valley cast's previous roles - where you recognise the stars of BBC show from
The cast of Happy Valley - which is nearing the end of its third and final series - may be familiar to viewers of the BBC crime drama, so here's a look at where you may know them from ahead of the finale
Sanjeeta BainsFeatures Writer
Updated 08:27, 25 JAN 2023
Emmerdale spoilers, news and interviews sent straight to your inbox for free
Sarah Lancashire is the face of Happy Valley as Catherine Cawood but who can forget her early days as Corrie's Raquel?
And she isn't the only person fans have found looks familiar in the BBC drama. For starters, it features two of the stars of classic 1987 comedy Rita, Sue and Bob Too.
Siobhan Finneran was 20 when she shot the film with George Costigan - and the pair went on to play Clare Cartwright and Nevison Gallagher in Happy Valley.
Siobhan, 56, has also been in Corrie, Benidorm, Clocking Off, Unforgiven and Downton Abbey.
But even the lesser-known faces in Happy Valley have impressive CVs - so to help fans solve the mystery of exactly where they know them from, we did some sleuthing …
George Costigan (Nevison Gallagher)
George Costigan previously appeared in Rita, Sue and Bob Too (Image: BBC)
George Costigan plays businessman Nevison Gallagher, whose daughter Ann was abducted and raped by Tommy Lee Royce.
A mainstay of British drama, it seems there's hardly a popular series George hasn't been in.
Now 75, he came to fame playing adulterous businessman Bob in Rita, Sue and Bob Too with co-star Siobhan. In the 90s he played a detective in sci-fi horror Chimera and lived with a ghost in sitcom So Haunt Me.
George later appeared as DI Jack Carter in City Central and turned up in Emmerdale as conman Charlie Haynes who tries to scam Diane Sugden out of her savings.
More recently, the actor appeared as corrupt DCI Patrick Fairbank in Line of Duty and as coal steward James Holt in Gentleman Jack.
His further film credits include 1989 rom-com Shirley Valentine and 2010 drama Hereafter, directed by Clint Eastwood.
Charlie Murphy (PC Ann Gallagher)
Charlie Murphy was previously in Peaky Blinders (Image: BBC)
Charlie, 34, plays Nevison Gallagher's daughter, who has just been seconded to CID and is in a happy relationship with Catherine's son Daniel.
However, she is still haunted by her past trauma.
Irish actress Charlie is best known for her depiction of trade unionist Jessie Eden in Peaky Blinders. She also starred as Siobhán Delaney in RTÉ drama Love/Hate, a role which led to her being named Best TV Actress at the 2013 Irish Film and Television Awards.
Karl Davies (Daniel Cawood)

Karl, 40, is best known as Robert Sugden in Emmerdale from 2001 to 2009 before the role was taken over by Ryan Hawley.
One of Karl's most famous storylines on the soap involved an affair with Patsy Kensit's Sadie King.
He later appeared in Kingdom, The Syndicate and as the ill-fated Alton Lannister in Game of Thrones season two. Karl also had a supporting role in TV series Chernobyl.
Con O' Neill (Neil Ackroyd)
Con O'Neill previously was in the sitcom Uncle (Image: BBC)
Neil is Clare's partner and a fellow recovering addict. He first appeared in season two, winning over Catherine's trust and is now very close to his step-nephew Ryan.
Con's TV roles include Val in British sitcom Uncle and plant director Viktor Bryukhanov in Chernobyl, alongside Karl Davies. Most recently, he put on a US accent as Gotham City Police Chief Mackenzie Bock in The Batman opposite Robert Pattinson.
Rick Warden (Insp Mike Taylor)

Away from Calder Valley where the show is set, actor Rick Warden, 51, is best known as Lt Harry Welsh in the acclaimed Steven Spielberg-produced Band of Brothers. He also appeared as Quintus Pompey in Rome.
Mark Stanley (Rob Hepworth)

Mark was last seen as the son of John and Anne Darwin in The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe.
He appeared in Game of Thrones as Night's Watch ranger Grenn, and as the widowed husband of Sheila Caffell nee Bamber in true-life crime drama White House Farm.
Mollie Winnard (Joanna Hepworth)
Mollie Winnard was in Coronation Street previously (Image: BBC/ITV)
Rob's desperate wife is played by Mollie, 25, who is best known as twisted waitress Kayla Clifton in Coronation Street in 2018.
Her character arrived in Weatherfield hell-bent on revenge after policeman dad Neil was jailed for grooming and raping Bethany Platt. She also played Maggie in All Creatures Great and Small.
Derek Riddell (Richard Cawood)
Derek Riddell may be recognisable to fans of Gentleman Jack (Image: BBC)
Journalist Richard is the ex-husband of Catherine, father of Daniel and grandfather of Ryan, who disappeared after their daughter's suicide.

Vincent Franklin (DCI Andy Shepherd)
Vincent Franklin was among the cast of The Thick of It (Image: BBC)
Vincent's character has ridden on Catherine's coattails in the show. But the 56-year-old has made his own mark in real life, appearing in Mike Leigh films including Vera Drake.
He also broke into Hollywood, starring with Edward Norton in The Illusionist and Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity. And The Thick of It fans know him as PR guru Stewart Pearson.

Few days back a news flashed in Information Security circles that KMART one of the top brick and mortar retailers in America had a data breach i.e. they lost customer's personal information and credit card/ debit card information due to a malware on their POS terminal (POS is point of sale terminal where we get our shopping billed at retail stores). This is not one odd incident as few days back HomeDepot lost 56 million customer records from date range Apr-14 to Sep-14 and then the list goes on from Dairy Queen to Supervalu and Jimmy John's etc. The news catches me surprised every time since Target (another US retailer) breach, the US retailers have become much more stringent and cautious in handling customer data post Target data breach case and hired/purchased high quality Information Security resources to ensure such incident doesn't repeat. No doubt the destructors are thinking a step ahead of the constructors here and that is always the case. The defenses are as good till the human brain ignores to breach through and as bad as one thoughtful geek sitting at the other side on the Internet to just slick through it. Americans are paranoid about their privacy unlike Indians hence any company where such breach happens has to be ready for class action suit of millions of dollars every time such a breach happen which is not good for any business across the world. So, what is happening in US is concerning not only for US citizens but for the rest of world as well, perhaps due to them being the most equipped ones with their laws and technology to defend such attacks but alas that couldn't mitigate such breaches.
Why I'm talking about the US retail breaches? Few days back while shopping at More Superstore, the Aditya Birla company I got to see the operating system that they are using on their PoS terminal. No guesses required, it was Windows XP installed over the computer. Just to give you a bit of background to it, Windows XP was released 14 years back by Microsoft and is one of the most successful operating system Microsoft ever made, but the support to the operating system ended on Apr 4th 2014, which means Microsoft have stopped releasing the security patches for the operating system and hence it's the most vulnerable operating system in the world for hackers to barge in. As the shelling was increasing at Jammu and Kashmir border the Pakistani hackers hacked multiple websites like Kerala superstar Mohanlal's website, Chennai Medical College Hospital's website and other few just to pass on their message. The thought of a similar attack over the aged More Supermarket systems and Big Bazaar systems sends the shiver down my spine as it may turn out to be one of the worst cyber security breaches in the history of world. We are and had been a lousy lot around our privacy and information security, we are willing to share every bit detail about our personal lives for a free 'glass lemon set' to anyone over the phone but any of such breaches won't end at losing a glass lemon set only. India is world's second big population and hence the data breaches may not just end in 2 digit millions in case the breach happened. Then why the companies are lousy in implementing the security of highest standards may be a question we should ask them. We in India have the privilege of getting the matured technologies and tested formulaes to apply in almost all the fields of scientific, engineering, telecom or manufacturing, however the big organizations are still not serious around importing the similar knowledge around Information Security and bolstering their defenses to ably fight any such attacks if it does happen in our system. Gone are the days when closing the eyes meant that we are hidden from the world, the employees at the retail stores need to be made aware about Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability factors of their work alongwith the maintenance of their and customers' privacy. We need to wake up before we are woken up with a shock as government has been doing its bit in terms of IT Act 2000 and the amendments in 2008. There's a lot that can improve with the time, but then those responsible needs to stand up for their own cause without government reprimanding them to do the same.

January 7th 2011The US economy has shaken off the fears of a double-dip recession that haunted it for much of 2010, helped by renewed government stimulus and aggressive policies by the Fed. In 2011 we expect the economy finally to start creating enough jobs to bring down the unemployment rate, which will boost the standing of the president, Barack Obama, as he heads into the 2012 election year. But it will not be smooth sailing for Mr Obama. Congress will be more difficult to win over now that Republicans have control of the House of Representatives. It will be especially difficult for him to guide the government towards an agreement to put the public finances in order. Although 2011 should be a year in which the US continues to heal, plenty of stumbling blocks lie ahead.
* Job creation. Economies recovering from recessions usually grow faster than their trend rate as idle workers and capital are put back to work. This has not happened yet in the US. Economic growth was only marginally above trend in 2010 (at around 2.8%), and the unemployment rate was an alarming 9.8% in November. The fact that there is plenty of spare capacity left in the US economy—industry is operating at around 75% of capacity compared with more than 80% before the recession started—suggests there is scope for it to grow faster in 2011 without inviting inflationary pressure, and we expect to see job growth accelerate. Firms are sitting on record levels of cash and have been making strong profits in recent quarters. If they wish to expand, the funds are available. Businesses have probably also reached the end of the road in terms of how much extra productivity they can squeeze out of their existing workforce. Our forecast is that unemployment will fall below 9% by the end of 2011. However, the reluctance of firms to hire so far has been, in large part, a reflection of their lack of confidence in future demand prospects. And, of course, the lack of jobs is a big factor in the unwillingness of US consumers to spend. If this stalemate is not broken, then the malaise in the US economy will be drawn out longer.
* Long-term fiscal sustainability. In December Congress agreed on a much-needed second round of fiscal stimulus that will keep the economic recovery from stuttering in 2011. However, there has been no progress in addressing the longer-term fiscal position, which is clearly unsustainable. The bipartisan fiscal commission set up by Mr Obama made some useful recommendations on how to narrow the deficit, advocating across-the-board spending cuts, but its members failed to agree on a final draft. When Congress tries to tackle the problem, the reluctance of Republicans to accept tax increases and the unwillingness of Democrats to accept big spending cuts, particularly in the area of entitlements, will be major sticking points. Although government finances are not an immediate concern, investors could get jittery if Congress can't agree on measures to narrow the deficit in 2011, especially if sovereign defaults occur in the euro zone. US long-term Treasury yields have risen sharply in recent months, but this largely reflects improved confidence in the economy, which has reduced demand for US Treasuries as a safe haven. A rise in bond yields driven by concerns over fiscal sustainability would be more threatening to the recovery.
* The new Congress. The mid-term elections held in November handed control of the House of Representatives to the Republicans and reduced the Democrats' majority in the Senate. As a result, Mr Obama will find it much more difficult to guide the policy agenda in the second half of his first term; just how difficult will depend on the stance taken by House Republicans. Incoming Republicans are decidedly conservative: 55 of 63 have signed the Tea Party-linked "Contract from America", which calls for repealing healthcare reform, adding a balanced-budget amendment to the constitution and capping federal spending. However, bipartisanship was in evidence in the pre-Christmas lame-duck session as Congress passed a new fiscal stimulus, the new START arms treaty with Russia and a repeal of the ban on gays in the military. Particularly encouraging was the role played by the incoming speaker of the House, John Boehner, in reaching these agreements. However, it would be wrong to expect this to be a sign of things to come, since he will undoubtedly be under fierce pressure from the more conservative Republican House members to take a firmer line. There is every chance that bipartisanship will be abandoned in a bid to undermine the president ahead of the 2012 elections.
* Monetary policy. The Fed came under attack for implementing a second round of quantitative easing (QE) in 2010. This so-called QE2 is due to run until mid-2011 and is sure to come under further scrutiny, especially if economic indicators continue to improve. Some analysts worry the Fed won't withdraw its ultra-loose stance in time to avoid spurring inflation. Others, mainly conservative Republicans, have been indignant about the Fed "debasing the dollar" and monetising the government's debt. The most prominent of these latter critics, Ron Paul, author of a book titled End the Fed, has recently been appointed chairman of the House sub-committee on domestic monetary policy and technology. Mr Paul's power is, however, limited. For example, the chance that he will succeed in his goal of returning the US to the gold standard is non-existent. But he can organise hearings that will make life harder for the chairman of the Fed, Ben Bernanke. He can also promote debate on whether the Fed's so-called dual mandate should be revised so that it focuses solely on inflation, dropping the requirement that it also target full employment. Such a change in policy would not, in practice, make much difference to the Fed's actions, but there is an important issue over the political independence of the Fed underlying the ongoing debate over its actions.
* The housing market. House prices were down by around 30% on their 2006 peak in the third quarter of 2010. Many households are still holding back on spending because of the damage done to their balance sheets by this collapse. Home sales are rising but remain well down on their levels of a few years ago, as potential buyers are deterred by tight credit conditions and job uncertainty. Future prospects also look grim, given the supply glut. The inventory of unsold housing is around 3.7m, equivalent to 9.5 months of demand and much higher than what would be expected in a normal housing market. Moreover, the inventory of mortgages going through the foreclosure process is around 7.7 times its historical average. Many of these homes will eventually be added to supply inventory. Residential construction has, understandably, been moribund amid this level of excess supply. But while a sharp rebound in property prices looks unlikely, so does a further collapse. This is reflected in real house prices, the correction in which appears to be complete. Although this does not rule out further price declines (the level of excess supply is certainly a worry), it does provide some reassurance. In our view there will be a tepid recovery in the housing market in 2011, but if we are wrong, one way or the other, it will have important implications for economic growth.
* US dollar. In 2011 the US dollar may appreciate more strongly than we expect for two reasons—one negative and one positive. Under our core scenario, we expect the crisis in the euro zone to continue in 2011, pushing up the relative value of the US dollar. But if events in the euro zone take a more sinister turn than we currently expect, with, for example, Spain being forced to request a bailout from the IMF/EU financial stability fund, investors would flee to the safety of US Treasuries, pushing up the value of the US dollar even further. The US economy would then be hit both by a loss of competitiveness for US exporters and a fall in external demand (mainly from Europe). Alternatively, the US economy could outperform our expectations, attracting capital back into the country and pushing up the value of the dollar. Under this scenario, currency appreciation would take some steam out of the economy, but not in the unwelcome way that a euro zone crisis would.

Q: Object Oriented PHP Array - Create "locations" list from OO PHP data I'm using FedEx's API to find "dropoff" locations for their stores that I then will be displaying using a map API (Google).
The API is working however I am having trouble as I am unfamiliar with the Object Oriented array.
I'd like to store values in the array as unique variables so I can pass them to my map API.
I'm trying to accomplish something LIKE the below:
<?php

// MY "IDEAL" solution - any other ideas welcome
// (yes, reading up on Object Oriented PHP is on the to-do list...)

$response = $client ->fedExLocator($request);

if ($response -> HighestSeverity != 'FAILURE' && $response -> HighestSeverity != 'ERROR')
{
    $response -> BusinessAddress -> StreetLines[0] = $location_0;
    $response -> BusinessAddress -> StreetLines[1] = $location_1;
    $response -> BusinessAddress -> StreetLines[2] = $location_2;
}

?>

Working FedEx Code Sample:
<?php

$response = $client ->fedExLocator($request);

if ($response -> HighestSeverity != 'FAILURE' && $response -> HighestSeverity != 'ERROR')
{
    echo 'Dropoff Locations
';
    echo '

Streetline	City	State	Postal Code	Distance
';
    foreach ($response -> DropoffLocations as $location)
    {
        if(is_array($response -> DropoffLocations))
        {
            echo '
';
            echo ''.$location -> BusinessAddress -> StreetLines. '	';
            echo ''.$location -> BusinessAddress -> PostalCode. '	';
            echo '
';
        }
        else
        {
            echo $location . Newline;
        }
    }
    echo '
';
}

?>

A: OK, from what I can tell, the $response object has two members: $response->HighestSeverity, which is a string, and $response->DropoffLocations, which is an array. $response->DropoffLocations is just an array, nothing fancy about it on its face. You can refer to its entries with square brackets (e.g. $response->DropoffLocations[0] etc), or, as they have done, walk through it with foreach.
The only thing "object oriented" about the array, other than the fact that it is a member of an object, is that its entries are objects, rather than simple values.
As a result, you're putting your indexing in the wrong place (and missing DropoffLocations altogether). Instead of, for example, this:
$response -> BusinessAddress -> StreetLines[0] = $location_0;

You should be indexing $response->DropoffLocations itself, and then pulling the member variables from each entry, like this:
$response -> DropoffLocations[0] -> BusinessAddress -> StreetLines = $location_0;

Do note @PeterGluck's comment, though. It's very unlikely that you want to set that value to anything.

Summerslam Predictions: Grudge Matches
We continue this year's Summerslam predictions with "grudge matches," i.e. matches that are based on personal issues and not titles. We've actually got a couple of pretty good ones this year, including a match that's been in the making for the better part of a decade.
Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin
Well, here we are again. I can't say I was dying to see this one again. They obviously don't see Finn Balor as a big priority right now. But the silver lining here is that he at least made the show. Unless the move this one to the pre-show. Which, come to think of it, is a real possibility.
I thought Finn would take the match at Extreme Rules, and that obviously didn't happen. So I'm hoping he takes this one. It's a far cry from becoming the first Universal Champion. But it's better than nothing…
PREDICTION: Finn Balor
STIPULATION MATCH:
Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens
Winner keeps the Money in the Bank briefcase.
This is one of those instances where, for my money, a feud gets downgraded from one pay per view to another. At Extreme Rules, these two had a cage match. Here, they're in a regular match. Granted, it's got a hell of a stipulation attached to it. But it feels like this should have at least been a no-DQ match.
I wouldn't have a problem with Owens taking the Money in the Bank contract away from Braun. He'd actually be a hell of a briefcase holder. But I really don't think Braun should be losing a big match like this. Especially given the trouble he's been having on TV lately with Jinder Mahal. God forbid his next pay per view match ends up being with Jinder…
Whoever wins this match is going to have eyes on them during the Brock Lesnar/Roman Reigns match. I've heard a few online pundits say a cash-in has to happen if that match is going to be even the least bit palatable. It may actually be the best chance they have, as I don't see the Brooklyn crowd being happy about either Lesnar or Reigns walking out with the belt.
Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz
This is a big one. It feels oddly rushed, considering how many years it's been in the making. I suppose that's just me wishing they'd have teased us a little more, and really built it to its boiling point.
The elephant in the room on this one is Daniel Bryan's contract. It expires next month, and allegedly he hasn't resigned. One would think then, that Miz takes this one. They could always swerve us and have Bryan take it, only to have Miz win a big match on television. But I'm thinking they want to give Miz a big win here. And frankly, he deserves it. I'd love to see this program catapult him into the WWE Title picture.
PREDICTION: The Miz

******************
Fusion file system
******************

Introduction
=============

Fusion is a distributed virtual file system for cloud-native data pipeline and optimised for Nextflow workloads.

It bridges the gap between cloud-native storage and data analysis workflow by implementing a thin client
that allows any existing application to access object storage using the standard POSIX interface, thus simplifying
and speeding up most operations. Currently it supports AWS S3.

.. warning:: This is an incubating feature. It may change in future Nextflow releases.

Getting started
===============

Requirements
-------------

Fusion file system is designed to work with containerised workloads, therefore it requires the use of a container
engine such as Docker or a container native platform for the execution of your pipeline e.g. AWS Batch or Kubernetes.

It also requires the use of :ref:`Wave containers<wave-page>` and Nextflow version ``22.10.0`` or later.

AWS S3 configuration
--------------------

The AWS S3 bucket should be configured with the following IAM permissions::

    {
        "Version": "2012-10-17",
        "Statement": [
            {
                "Effect": "Allow",
                "Action": [
                    "s3:ListBucket"
                ],
                "Resource": [
                    "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR-BUCKET-NAME"
                ]
            },
            {
                "Action": [
                    "s3:GetObject",
                    "s3:PutObject",
                    "s3:PutObjectTagging",
                    "s3:DeleteObject"
                ],
                "Resource": [
                    "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR-BUCKET-NAME/*"
                ],
                "Effect": "Allow"
            }
        ]
    }

Use cases
=========

Local execution with S3 bucket as work directory
------------------------------------------------

Fusion file system allows the use of an S3 bucket as a pipeline work directory with the Nextflow local executor. This
configuration requires the use of Docker (or similar container engine) for the execution of your pipeline tasks.

The AWS S3 bucket credentials should be made accessible via standard ``AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`` and ``AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY``
environment variables.

The following configuration should be added in your Nextflow configuration file::

    docker {
      enabled = true
    }

    fusion {
      enabled = true
      exportAwsAccessKeys = true
    }

    wave {
        enabled = true
    }

Then you can run your pipeline using the following command::

    nextflow run <YOUR PIPELINE> -work-dir s3://<YOUR BUCKET>/scratch

Replace ``<YOUR PIPELINE>`` and ``<YOUR BUCKET>`` with a pipeline script and bucket or your choice, for example::

    nextflow run https://github.com/nextflow-io/rnaseq-nf -work-dir s3://nextflow-ci/scratch

AWS Batch execution with S3 bucket as work directory
----------------------------------------------------

Fusion file system allows the use of an S3 bucket as a pipeline work directory with the AWS Batch executor. The use
of Fusion makes obsolete the need to create and configure a custom AMI that includes the `aws` command line tool, when
setting up the AWS Batch compute environment.

The configuration for this deployment scenario looks like the following::

    fusion {
      enabled = true
    }

    wave {
      enabled = true
    }

    process {
      executor = 'awsbatch'
      queue = '<YOUR BATCH QUEUE>'
    }

    aws {
      region = '<YOUR AWS REGION>'
    }

Then you can run your pipeline using the following command::

    nextflow run <YOUR PIPELINE> -work-dir s3://<YOUR BUCKET>/scratch

Kubernetes execution with S3 bucket as work directory
-----------------------------------------------------

Fusion file system allows the use of an S3 bucket as a pipeline work directory with the Kubernetes executor.

The use of Fusion makes obsolete the need to create and manage and separate persistent volume and shared file system
in the Kubernetes cluster.

The configuration for this deployment scenario looks like the following::

    wave {
      enabled = true
    }

    fusion {
      enabled = true
    }

    process {
      executor = 'k8s'
    }

    k8s {
      context = '<YOUR K8S CONFIGURATION CONTEXT>'
      namespace = '<YOUR K8S NAMESPACE>'
      serviceAccount = '<YOUR K8S SERVICE ACCOUNT>'
    }

The ``k8s.context`` represents the Kubernetes configuration context to be used for the pipeline execution. This
setting can be omitted if Nextflow itself is run as a pod in the Kubernetes clusters.

The ``k8s.namespace`` represents the Kubernetes namespace where the jobs submitted by the pipeline execution should
be executed.

The ``k8s.serviceAccount`` represents the Kubernetes service account that should be used to grant the execution
permission to jobs launched by Nextflow. You can find more details how to configure it as the `following link <https://github.com/seqeralabs/wave-showcase/tree/master/example8>`_.

Having the above configuration in place, you can run your pipeline using the following command::

    nextflow run <YOUR PIPELINE> -work-dir s3://<YOUR BUCKET>/scratch

Fusion file system.

CHICAGO — Filipino American theater organization Circa Pintig will hold a fundraising show and dinner on April 29 for its 2018–19 season.
Titled "Healing and Justice" the fundraiser will be held at Drury Lane Theatre (where a production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical "South Pacific," directed by Filipino American Victor Maog, is running until June 7).
"Now on its 27th year, Circa Pintig renews its vows to cultural work," says executive director Angela Mascarenas.
"We believe in the critical role of community arts in promoting social justice. Through theater performances and workshops, we tell stories and create dialogue from our own interpretation of history and culture.
"Circa Pintig could not have endured the many challenges that came its way without the support of its volunteers, audiences, donors, funding agencies and community partners.
One of the fundraiser's goals is to raise seed money for the group's summer workshops that will be open to the community from June to August.
During the dinner, excerpts of the plays "Alamat (Legends)," by Filipino playwright Rodolfo "Rody" Vera and "The Perfect American," by Conrad Panganiban, will be performed.
The group will then stage a work-in-progress production of "The Perfect American" in the first week of May, to be helmed by the group's current artistic director, Louie Pascasio.
The comedy is about Beverly, a strong-willed Filipino entrepreneur whose mission in life is to teach new immigrants how to become the "perfect" American.
She pushes this dream further by landing an audition with a cable TV executive but must contend with a meddling grocery store clerk from Kyrgyzstan and a mysterious person from her past.
"We are very excited to have a chance to share this play," says Ginger Leopoldo, who plays Beverly.
The rest of the cast is rounded out by Kim Fortner, Brian Kung and Ryan Viloria.
Born in Quezon City, Leopoldo moved to Chicago when she was five years old. She received her undergraduate and master's degrees in theater from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
An educator, actor, director, and community organizer, Leopoldo is a founding member of the group and is currently its program director.
"I work on artistic and educational programming and community outreach and collaborations," she explains.
In addition to acting for Circa Pintig, her acting credits include other groups in the Chicago area such as Old World Theatre, COR Theatre, Prologue Theatre and A-Squared Theatre.
Panganiban's recent credits include "Welga," a play about Filipino American labor leader Larry Itliong, which was staged by Bindlestiff Studio in San Francisco last year.
Circa Pintig's upcoming productions for its 2018–19 season includes "A Game of Trolls: Reimagined," an adaptation Filipino playwright Liza Magtoto's play, scheduled for September to October.
"This reimagined version looks into the internal mindset of the millennial generation and how social media conversations in the age of trolling obscure critical dialogue on politics and history," says Mascarenas.
From February to March 2019, the group is planning to stage Giovanni Ortega's "Criers for Hire," a comedy about Filipino American women who are hired to cry at funerals. Problems arise when their newest member has the opposite effect on people, making them laugh instead.
"Criers for Hire" was premiered by East West Players in Los Angeles in 2016. Circa Pintig's planned production in 2019 will be in partnership with Halcyon Theater.
Circa Pintig fundraiser show and dinner is on April 29 at Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace, Chicago. To donate, visit CircaPintig.com/donateor contact +1-773-480-4824.
"The Perfect American" runs May 4 and 6 at Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago. Visit Fb.com/CircaPintig.

Q: Grails DetachedCriteria loads too many records Situation:
In our data model one AbstractResource  has many Availability. We want to find Availabilities which match a few conditions and belong to a set of AbstractResources. InternalResourceand ExternalResource both extend AbstractResource.
We search for the set of resources for which we are interested in Availabilities. This is done with the first two DetachedCriteria.
InternalResource and ExternalResource need to be filtered differently. This implies that we can not merge the first two criterias into the last one using a JOIN.
Problem:
When we execute this we expect to get only availabilities with a resource that is in resources. Unfortunately this is not always the case. From time to time it works. But sometimes it contains availabilities with other resources.
We did a quick test using Hibernates Criteria. When we tested this, it worked well.
Are there known restrictions for the usage of DetachedCriteria as they are not linked to a specific hibernate session?
DetachedCriteria<InternalResource> intResourceCriteria = new DetachedCriteria<>(InternalResource)
intIesourceCriteria.build {
    ...
}
def resources = intResourceCriteria.list()

DetachedCriteria<ExternalResource> extResourceCriteria = new DetachedCriteria<>(ExternalResource)
resourceCriteria.build {
    ...
}
resources.addAll(extResourceCriteria.list())

DetachedCriteria<Availability> availabilityCriteria = new DetachedCriteria<>(Availability)
availabilityCriteria.build {
    'in'('resource', resources)
    ...
}
def availabilities = availabilityCriteria.list()

We use the following versions:

*

*Hibernate 4.3.6.1

*Grails 2.4.4

In my previous post it was all just dry theory and nothing to show (apart from a great food picture). Today the post will only be about presenting the "cool stuff", and for that, just for you guys, my buddy Arnau filmed my horrendous face showing you what I have been working on.
I've been really busy the last couple of weeks developing the web application, and I am glad to say that most of the heavy lifting is done. The web app I developed somehow works (sometimes even I wonder how that is possible).
I used the modern approach to building it. This means that the front-end runs on your browser and it only requests data from the server via a REST API and WebSockets. This methods has its ups and downs but let's say for this kind of webapp it is the best solution.
Charts are used for a viewing historical data in a timeline based fashion. This way you can see if the cluster behaves normally as it should or if there are some problems like huge raises in temperature. What you see below is a part of the public overview. These charts and big numbers use very aggregated dataset to show a meaningful information in a fast and easy way.
And now comes the most super cool awesome part of all. The 3D model of the Galileo supercomputer. You can see it in action in the video on top (and if you didn't see it, now is the right time to watch it). I took a Blender model which the good guys from CINECA prepared for me, did some small changes to it, converted it to a Blend4Web project, extracted the source files and integrated it into the webapp. Sounds easy, right? It uses WebSockets and MQTT to get the latest data and color-codes them so you can easily see what is happening with the cluster.
To sum it up, things are looking good and promising but there is still a lot of work to do. I didn't even show another part of the job that displays the running jobs on Galileo and accompanying data to them.

I've been crabbing for about 3 years now. Thisll be my first year crabbing from a kayak. I'm mostly in small creeks in eastern ct. Plan was to run hand lines wrapped around pool noodles with a slit cut to set the depth. And then a pole to anchor when pulling the line in.
Generally I tie my lines to the dock, I'm curious how much weight everyone uses to keep lines in place? I'd rather use more than I need in some place than have to change weights everytime I switch locations.
I don't think you need much. I think it's ok if it moves a little - a feeding crab will stay on the bait. I'd be more worried about spooking the crab planting your anchor pole.
Just enough weight to get the bait to the bottom. Been a long time since I hand lined, mostly from a anchored rowboat. The crabs gave themselves away by pulling the bait as they ate. Telltale sign I had a crab on the line.
You using floating lines should be interesting. So if the noodle is moving, guess you'll have to catch up to it. Please report how it goes.
When I was a kid I remember an old guy that caught turtles that way. He'd cut saplings and stick them in the muddy bottom with a line with one baited hook to each stake. His boat kinda looked like Troy Landrie's boat (Swamp People) with all those sticks in it..
I have done it a few times. I use 2oz weights. I try to put them in 2 lines and run a row one way then run another one coming back. I would toss about 20 to 30 out. I would try to make sure the kayak is down current of the line or your kayak will float over the line. Or at least next to the line so my kayak does not run over the line. But that does not work as planned all the time. You can move the line around your kayak or try to keep the line as far away while pulling up the line. I never anchored my kayak. To busy trying to get to the next hardline. Also when a line goes rogue I call it a runner. Meaning a crab has run off with the line. It's fun but you need to get used to it. Make sure you have a short net. The crabs will be coming up right next to you so if you have a long net it will make it difficult. Have fun and be safe.
If you are out in a kayak anyway, have you considered ring traps?
There's no place like roam!
When handlining from my kayak I find it much easier to anchor in one spot. I run 4 lines at a time. When the crabs stop biting I move and anchor again. It's a lot of paddling trying to get to the lines on floats. I like to take it easy, but give it a shot.
I crab eastern CT with handlines and stick anchor my twin troller boat and have no problems scaring crabs. I use only 2 handlines. If the crabs are biting , you can hardly keep up with them. I crab from a kayak also and do the same thing. I buy the pre-weighted crab lines. They work great! Ebay has them as well as sporting and bait shops . Good luck this year! I think the crabs MIGHT be out earlier that last year. We will know May first!!
