Castle Recap 01/21/13 Season 5 Episode 12 “Death Gone Crazy”
This week on ABC’s Castle, as Kate and Rick investigated the murder of a naughty video tycoon, Esposito found himself quite interested in one person of interest. And Alexis started a vlog!
When Beau Randolph, the producer of a Girls Gone Wild-esque video franchise, is strangled with an expensive 36D bra, all eyes are on his stalker-y actress ex-girlfriend. But then Beau’s recently hired bodyguard, Scarlet, draws suspicion when the deceased’s office security cam catches her pinching an SD card from his safe post mortem. Once Scarlet is cleared of that mystery — she was hired by a children’s programming company to dig up dirt on Beau, a wannabe investor — Espo determined the tough gal ripe for asking out. And out they went, but just as things heated up, Beckett threw cold water on their date by brandishing new evidence against Scarlet. The bodyguard shook that rap, too, and after a brief detour that suggested the daughter of a Parents Television Council-type watchdog group had offered Beau to conceal their sex tape, the killer wound up being — as I predicted the instant we first met him, and for exactly the reason I thought — Beau’s cameraman, who wasn’t about to let the boss cash out just to be an upstanding dad. Yes, an obvious outcome, but I liked the case nonetheless. Interesting variety of suspects, and the Espo subplot was entertaining if fleeting.
For a second straight week, not much to work with here. There was again zero pick-up of the Meredith/”Rick doesn’t open up” thread, though there was some playful banter dealing with Beau’s busty babes-filled work climate (and Beckett’s own distraction by a rival’s scantily clad male talent). Also, there was a hint of a warm moment at the very end, when Kate visibly appreciated Rick’s observation, “A father would do anything for his daughter” — which also related to his concerns about grown-up Alexis’ new vlog.
What did you all think of this week’s episode?

Organized neurosurgery believes that prospective, systematic tracking of practice
patterns and patient outcomes will allow surgeons from multiple specialties to improve
the quality, efficiency and ultimately, the value of care. In support of this mission, the
AANS, in cooperation with a broad coalition of other neurosurgical societies including the
CNS, SNS and ABNS, created the NPA, a not-for-profit corporation, in 2008.
NPA coordinates a variety of national projects involving the acquisition, analysis and
reporting of clinical data from surgical practice. NPA is designed to meet the quality
care and health care research needs of individual surgeons and surgical practices,
national organizations, health care plans, biomedical industry and government
agencies. NPA is devoted to gathering, analyzing and publishing data on the science of
surgical practice, which is the habitual and systematic collection, analysis and feedback
of data, inseparable from practice, via its audited registries. NPA’s QOD is the largest
spine registry in the U.S.
NPA’s Board of Directors is comprised of representatives from the CNS, SNS, ABNS, AANS/
CNS Joint Section on Disorders of the Spine and Peripheral Nerves, the JNSPG and the
NREF. The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the NPA.

OTTAWA, January 17, 2012 — It was not so long ago that the notion of robots living and working among us was just an idea rooted in science fiction. However, uOttawa professor Emil Petriu is rapidly turning this idea into scientific fact through his development of technology that mimics the human hand’s tactile process.
Among many bits and pieces of automated wheelchairs, vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers in his lab, as well as a notably bright orange robot named Pumpkin, Professor Petriu keeps a classic model of a human skull. A reminder of what it is to be human? Maybe. But it’s definitely the perfect model for developing tactile sensors and perception mechanisms for robots, giving robots a skin with detailed faces and expressions, as well as a sense of touch.
“We are using biology as our source of inspiration. Human beings are most comfortable interacting with devices that move and respond the same way we do,” says Professor Petriu.
His research is developing a novel biology-inspired touch-sensitive artificial skin able to feel not only contact forces, but the profile, temperature and elasticity of object surfaces, ultimately raising the tactile sensitivity of robots to the human level.
Researchers in many top-level research laboratories around the world have sought to develop a multimodal artificial tactile sensing capability that mimics the human hand’s complex tactile process, but have not yet solved the many issues standing in the way.
Professor Petriu’s research will enable the advancement of a new generation of intelligent robots able to perform tasks where the sense of touch is of paramount importance, for example, in high-risk operations such as nuclear plant maintenance, explosive device disposal or telemedicine.
His work will also play a major role in an emerging society in which intelligent machines function autonomously engaging in all kinds of interactions and necessarily creating a “symbiotic” relationship with humans. With state of the art technology, Professor Petriu will attempt to design a mechanical yet highly lifelike face, capable of representing human expressions ranging from surprise to anger, as well as intricate prosthetic limbs and sensors that convey large amounts of information.
For more information on Professor Petriu’s research work with robots, read the article in Research Perspectives Magazine titled Robots and the rest of us and watch the video.

If you’re looking to ditch contracts and troublesome payment plans for phones, then you might want to consider something off-contract. Traditionally, off-contract devices have gotten pretty cheap, and they still relatively are in comparison to big-name contract phones. In fact, many high end off-contract devices can be gotten for a few hundred dollars less than, say, a Samsung Galaxy S8.
Oppo R11s vs OnePlus 5T
|ImgAmazon.com Link||Brand||ProductAmazon.com Link||Price on Amazon.com|
|OPPO Digital||OPPO R11s||324.99|
The story is no different with the Oppo R11S and the OnePlus 5T. Both are high-end affordable phones that’ll keep you far away from a contract. And, a huge positive to these devices is that you’ll be able to take them to almost any carrier, since they’ll be Unlocked, too.
Follow along below, and we’ll show you the scoop on the Oppo R11S and OnePlus 5T.
The Oppo R11S is a relatively large device. The screen comes in at a whopping 6.01-inches, but has a high resolution of 2,160 x 1,080 with a pixel density of 401ppi. You’re getting an AMOLED screen here, too, so colors are going to be deep and vibrant looking. Hardware wise, it has a Qualcomm 660 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage and a dual 16-megapixel camera. A large 3,200mAh battery ensures long battery life as well.
Overall, the Oppo R11S is an excellent phone. It’s fast, modern, lasts a long time, takes great photos and looks fantastic thanks to the bezel-less display. Many are already calling this phone Android’s cheaper iPhone X.
Connectivity, of course, is it’s biggest problem. It appears that it’ll work on a handful of carriers, such as AT&T and T-Mobile in the United States, but coverage might be spotty, as the R11S only supports 2 out of 4 of T-Mobile and AT&T’s LTE bands, so you might not get true LTE or even LTE at all; however, you’ll get 3G just fine. 3G is pretty slow though, so it’s hard to recommend the Oppo R11S to those in the United States.
Buy it now: Amazon
On the other hand, you have the OnePlus 5T. This phone will work on GSM carriers in the United States — you should get LTE on AT&T, T-Mobile and alternatives (Cricket Wireless, Ting, etc) just fine. It really is a step ahead of the Oppo R11S as far as connectivity goes. The downside is that this phone has trouble working on CDMA carriers, so Sprint and Verizon customers are out of luck here. But, it’s not too bad of an issue since you’ll be able to take the OnePlus 5T to any GSM carrier, and at a cheap cost as well, since you’re not leasing a phone.
The OnePlus 5T does have some great specs. In fact, OnePlus is calling it the fastest phone around. It’s got a 6.01-inch Optic AMOLED display with a resolution of 2,160 x 1,080. It has the same pixel density as the Oppo R11S — 401ppi. You get a beefier Snapdragon 835 processor, options for 128GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM or 64GB of internal storage and 6GB of RAM. You get a impressive dual 16-megapixel camera setup on the rear, and a super impressive 16-megapixel front-facing camera, which is something you rarely see in phones. It also has a large 3,300mAh battery, which may or may not last you a long time, as this phone is pulling some serious power.
It is, however, running off of USB-C connectivity with some fast-charging features built in, so you should be able to charge up your phone considerably in just a couple of minutes.
The OnePlus 5T will set you back around $500 for the 64GB/6GB RAM model. That’s straight from OnePlus (if you can snag one from their site), or you can get the 128GB/8GB for around $560. You’ll be looking at a little bit more on Amazon.
Check both out at the Amazon link below.
So, which one should you pick up? It’s hard to recommend the Oppo R11S to anyone, purely based on it’s compatibility with different networks. You’ll be hard pressed getting true LTE, if any LTE or 4G connectivity at all. We can easily hand this one to OnePlus based on that alone, but OnePlus does have a few advantages, too.
With the OnePlus 5T, you’ll get a beefier processor as well as a much better storage and RAM setup, which can exponentially speed up your phone. If you’re trying to make a choice between the two, it’s difficult to pass up the high end hardware, connectivity and great customer support of the OnePlus 5T.

Workshop 1 and 2 have the aim to identify the options and problems associated with the general challenges of provisioning the research infrastructures to deliver capabilities for supporting the generation and calculation of EBVs. The two workshops (Figure 1) will focus on the EBV class ‘Species populations’ (EBVs ‘Species distribution’ and ‘Population abundance’) for which the data, models and understanding are presently much better developed than for other EBV classes.
Workshop 1 will have integrated as well as parallel sessions with ecologists and biodiversity scientists (with special expertise in species distributions and abundance and its monitoring), biodiversity informaticians and infrastructure operators, and legal interoperability experts.
Workshop 2 will be a follow-up a few months later with a selected group of experts to guarantee the writing of a peerreviewed scientific paper and the dissemination of key results. The intended scientific paper follows up the Pereira et al. (2013) Science publication with the aim to respond to it in terms of the challenges of research infrastructures for supporting the implementation and calculation of EBVs.

But he is obliged to point out that the product is a dietary supplement, and no clinical claims can be made for it. These beneficial compounds include a range of phytocannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids that work together. The truth is that no one knows precisely what any of these molecules are doing to us. It is a case of finding the effects first and working backwards to understand the mechanisms.

This occurs when the anandamide in our bodies react with the THC in Cannabis. Recent studies, however, are showing that a different cannabinoid, known as CBD is also having a miraculous effect on panic suffers.
In , a study conducted by Esther M. Steenkamp, Jorge Manzanares, Charles R. Other studies have found an indirect connection to panic attacks through research on anxiety. In a small study of 40 people, CBD was found to reduce anxiety in people subjected to stressful situations.
In , it was found that pretreatment with CBD significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment and discomfort in their speech performance, and significantly decreased alert in their anticipatory speech helping them to deal with anxiety and panic attacks.
In a publication by de Mello Schier et al. This suggested that anxiolytic benefits were most likely achieved through binding to the 5-HT1A receptor. This indicated that CBD appeared efficacious as an anxiolytic. Please include the type of problem you have, the dosage you took and how effective it was for attenuating your panic attack on a scale of 1 to I had severe panic attacks 25 years ago and could barely function.
I tried 30 different compounds and drugs. I finally got relief with. I called it my magic pill. It has a cumulative effect and the longer you are on it the less you need. Eventually I felt so normal I went off 20 years ago and have not had a problem since. I had to have it compounded comes in mg capsules — will burn your throat if not in capsule. Please note if alcohol gives you panic when it wears off this drug is for you.
Weed did nothing for me. There is Light at the end of the tunnel!! I have never taken any medication for it as I am very scared to feel unlike myself. Nothing traumatic but now I am hesitant to try it again as it was not particularly pleasant. Is that a common reaction? After I have a panic attack I too feel out of it. It drains your energy. Actually I had a panic attack from anxiety the other evening and after about 20 mins of anxiety I took CBD drops under my tongue and within 5 min I felt relief… Idk if my body just calmed down or it was the oil but I had been having anxiety for a few hours and felt a panic attack potentially coming on.
I have suffered from severe panic attacks for the past 17 years. Along with anxiety phobias and ptsd. I took Zoloft in the past and hated it. Got off for many years and got back on in march. I know zoloft is just a bandaid so i quit cold turkey. I was on 50 mg for 3 months and my body is having a bad reaction to getting off Zoloft.
Im having mahor panic attacks. I tried the oil but was given a small dose and I didnt feel any relief. Any suggestions of a good dose to start on. I saw some questions in the comments about it that I wanted to address.
CBD Oil for Anxiety – The Story of a First Time User
I tried CBD oil to help with my anxiety and Insomnia. This isn't a paid post, I'm simply sharing my experience in case it helps anyone else. Using CBD oil for anxiety is an effective way to improve your life quality and relieve every single CBD study I could find, as well as hundreds of user experiences. . Would you please share the graphic as a Jpeg with me??. Share. My baseline level of anxiety is really high. I operate on what other Everyday Plus Hemp Oil (this was the first CBD I ever tried) because.

Squash belongs to the cucurbit family. Squash are separated into two categories, winter squash and summer squashes. Popular summer squash includes zucchini and yellow squash, whereas pumpkin and buttercup squash are popular winter ones.
Due to the seeds that accompany the food, squash are technically fruits. However, as they are rarely consumed raw, they are eaten like vegetables.
The difference between summer and winter squash is the texture and the time frame they are harvested. Despite their differences, both categories of squash are very healthy and are great way to replace some of those high calorie non-nutrient dense foods
Squash Benefit #1: Diabetes Management
Diabetes affects thousands of people around the world. Squash is a great option for diabetics because, though known as a starchy vegetable, it is very low in carbohydrates. Winter squash tends to be higher in carbohydrates then summer squash. For instance, 1 cup of cooked pumpkin contains 9 g of carbohydrates, whereas a zucchini only contains 3 grams.
Studies have also traced the vegetable to decreased blood sugar levels. In one human study, individuals with type 2 diabetes took an extract of winter squash. After 5 hours, their blood glucose was measured, and the levels were lower than expected.

Toyota 2000 GT
If you or your father has one of those James Bond box sets, and you‘ve watched all the old Bond movies, then you may have caught a glimpse of one of the rarest cars Toyota ever built, the 2000 GT in the movie You only live twice.
The world got its first look at the 2000 GT in 1965, at the Tokyo Motor Show. Production began in 1967, but only 342 cars were ever sold, of which 86 were exported.
Despite the 2000 GT’s good looks and equally good performance, it was more expensive than the superbly styled E-Type Jaguar and Porsche’s 911, but without the cachet of those brands.
Powered by a Yamaha enhanced 2.0-litre inline-6, the 2000GT had a top speed of 206km/h and a 0-60mph-sprint time of 10 seconds.
The car was designed by Japanese designer Satoru Nozaki and was the first double overhead camshaft (DOHC) that the Toyota had ever employed.
There is no doubt that the E-Type Jaguar and Lotus Elan influenced Satoru’s design, but the overall shape was original and well regarded in Europe and the United States.
But given its substantial price of US$6,800, the 2000 GT was impossible to market outside of Japan, where it didn’t sell that well either, as the Japanese were not yet interested in sports cars. They soon would be though.
In 1970, Toyota stopped producing the 2000 GT and put its faith in the more affordable Celica model, while Datsun came out with the iconic 240 Z sports car, which took the world by storm with its affordability, looks and high performance.
There’s no denying that this exotic sports car from Toyota is a great looking machine. If you want one, then be prepared to shell out over AUD$270,000 for a reasonable example.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates 57.5 per cent of ballot papers in the same-sex marriage postal survey have been returned so far.
More than 16 million ballot papers have been mailed to Australian voters.
The survey is asking Australians whether they believe the law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry.
Both sides of the debate about whether to change the marriage laws are using the figures to urge people to return their survey forms.
No campaign spokesman Lyle Shelton said the ABS estimate showed nearly half of all Australians have not yet sent back their survey.
"We want to make sure everyone has their say," he said.
But he added the high turnout "demonstrates the Australian public understands the gravity of the decision before us and that they know it has consequences for everyone".
Anna Brown from the Yes campaign also urged those who have not sent their forms back to act.
"Whether it is in the gym bag or on the kitchen table, people simply need to get their ballots in as soon as possible," she said.
Greens senator Janet Rice said it was heartening that 57.5 per cent of votes had been returned.
"It is a good sign… It just goes to show that Australians care deeply about this issue," Senator Rice said.
Federal Cabinet Minister Darren Chester said the result so far is "a complete vindication of the government's position, that the Australian people did want to have their say".
"They have voted early and they have made their opinions known and I think that is a good result," Mr Chester said.
"I am strongly of the view that right across Australia there will be a resounding Yes vote.
"I think some of my colleagues will be surprised… I think every electorate in Australia is going to vote Yes and I think some people will be surprised by that in their own electorates,
"I could be wrong but that is my view."
The result will be announced on November 15.

The history of tritium releases to the groundwater from buried waste was reconstructed through dendrochronology. Wood from dated tree rings was sectioned from a cross-section of a tree that was thought to tap the groundwater. Cellulose was chemically separated from the wood. The cellulose was combusted and the water of combustion collected for liquid scintillation counting. The tritium concentration in the rings rose rapidly after 1972 which was prior to the first measurements made in this area. Trends in the tritium concentration of water outcropping to the surface are similar to the trends in tritium concentration in tree rings.

Volunteers, who are now working under the name Chippewa Valley Makers, provide the university with the 3D printed visors. From there plastic shields are attached by UW-EC volunteers, and then the finished shields are bagged up and made available to local healthcare facilities.
"The face shield covers the entire face, from the forehead down past the chin," says Ben Holmen, founder of Chippewa Valley Makers. "The importance of that is droplet control, it keeps droplets off the healthcare workers face. Not only does it protect their face, but it protects their N95 masks, since those are in short supply. So if a nurse is using their mask for a week, we can keep that mask cleaner."
The volunteers have been so impressed with the use of the 3D printers, they may even use them to help the community after the pandemic is over.
"What I've learned through this whole process is that when you're using the N95 masks, the fit is really what's important. How it fits to the face," says Dr. Doug Dunham, Director of Materials Science and Engineering Center at UW-Eau Claire. "Where 3D printing can come in is actually individually print the masks so it fits really well. Hopefully going forward in the next six months, after the pandemic is over, there will be time to address that issue."

Oogie Oogie Wa Wa
McMurray's California Thumpers
Feat. Loren McMurray
Recorded in New York City on September 4th 1922 featuring Phil Napoleon cornet, Miff Mole trombone, Loren McMurray alto sax, John Cali banjo, Frank Signorelli piano, and Jack Roth drums.
*"Oogie Oogie Wa Wa (Won't You Be My Little Eskimo)" was composed by Archie Gottler, with words by Grant Clarke and Edgar Leslie.
The "California Thumpers", originally a contingent of the "Eddie Elkins' Orchestra" led by Loren McMurray, were replaced by a studio band for this session.
This novelty tune, recorded on September 9th 1922 was the last of the four recordings with members of the Eddie Elkins' band to appear under Loren McMurray's name. He would pass away less than a month after this record was made on October 29th; just ten days after his 25th birthday.
At the time of his death Loren McMuray's recordings as a leader had attracted the attention of Victor Records' executive Eddie King who had big plans for the young saxophonist. -Sadly it was not to be.

This story has been updated throughout.
A Dallas salon owner who was found in criminal contempt of court was released from jail Thursday afternoon after an order from the Supreme Court of Texas.
The state's highest court granted an emergency request for relief. But the court has yet to rule on whether she was improperly jailed. That will come later.
The court's announcement came shortly after Gov. Greg Abbott said Texans can't be jailed for violating statewide executive orders as some businesses are allowed to reopen.
Around 2 p.m. Thursday, Luther walked out of the Dallas County jail to a crowd of supporters chanting "Shelley's free! Shelley's free!"
"Thank you guys so much. I’m a little overwhelmed," she said. "I’m OK. I just want to thank all of you who I just barely met and now you’re all my friends."
While every salon and barbershop in the state was shut down to stop the spread of the coronavirus, Luther reopened her salon, defying city, county and state orders.
Abbott issued a variation of a stay-at-home order March 31 that expired on April 30. Non-essential businesses were closed and gatherings were limited.
The governor announced a phased reopening plan that began May 1, but he amended those plans Tuesday, allowing salons and barbershops to reopen Friday.
But Luther reopened even before the statewide stay-at-home order was lifted.
She was issued a citation and then sent a cease and desist letter by Dallas County officials. The salon remained open.
The City of Dallas sought a temporary restraining order forcing the salon to close, which a state district judge granted.
But Luther's salon remained open against that temporary restraining order.
In a hearing Tuesday afternoon, State District Judge Eric Moyé found Luther to be in criminal contempt of court. He ordered her to pay thousands in fines and sentenced her to seven days in jail.
But many politicians criticized the judge, and on Thursday morning, Abbott said he was modifying his executive orders, eliminating jail as a punishment for anyone who violates his rule.
Luther's attorney, Warren Norred, said he did not believe Abbott's announcement directly impacted the Supreme Court's decision to order Luther's release.
He said he appealed to the state's highest court on the grounds that Luther should have been eligible to bond out.
Luther paid no money and was released on a personal recognizance bond while her case works its way through the court system.
In his Tuesday morning announcement, the governor also referenced two women arrested in Laredo who allegedly violated the community's emergency management plan for offering beauty and cosmetic services from home.
Ana Isabel Castro-Garcia and Brenda Stephanie Mata were arrested on misdemeanor charges, according to The Texas Tribune.
“Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen,” Abbott said in a statement Thursday.
But Council Member Omar Narvaez said the City of Dallas was just doing its job by enforcing the governor's orders.
"We here in the City of Dallas were doing exactly what we were told to do by the governor of Texas, which was to make sure that the salons and barbershops and at time restaurants and bars and all of that that they stayed closed," the councilman said.
He said allowing some groups to break the rules sends a mixed message to others. Many people want to go back to work, he said.
"Why do they have to follow the rules but this one person doesn’t have to?" Narvaez asked.
Tom Melsheimer, a managing partner at Winston and Strawn law firm, said the City and Luther were following the normal legal process.
A judge ruled, found Luther in contempt, decided a punishment and she took that to the Supreme Court of Texas.
"It's very unfortunate to see the interference here from the executive branch," Melsheimer said of the tweets and public statements from state leaders, including the governor.
He said the case isn't about the governor's orders or Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins' local executive orders.
"It was about Judge Moyé's court order which she litigated and she decided not to follow it," Melsheimer said.

New Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection and Shell Rotella T5 10W-30 Synthetic Blend have been developed to meet the new API CK-4 service category for diesel engine oil.
Nearly a decade has passed since the last diesel engine oil category, CJ-4, was developed and the standard has lasted well beyond the life of the typical engine oil category. The American Petroleum Institute (API), working with engine manufacturers and oil makers, has completely redesigned heavy-duty engine oil specifications to meet the needs of current and next-generation engines. This has resulted in two new categories — API CK-4 and API FA-4.
“Shell Lubricants has been a leader in the development and testing of next-generation engine oils that will meet the new API specifications without compromising oil life or wear protection,” said Dan Arcy, Global OEM technical manager for Shell Lubricants. “We have conducted more than 40 million miles of real-world testing to demonstrate the performance of our next-generation Shell Rotella engine oils to meet the CK-4 and FA-4 specifications.”
CK-4 oils will replace current CJ-4 oils and will be completely backwards compatible with all current engines. They will be designed with improved oxidation resistance, shear stability and aeration control. FA-4 oils include lower viscosity grades designed for next-generation diesel engines to help maximize fuel economy without sacrificing engine protection. Some older engines were not designed to operate with lower viscosity oils, so backwards compatibility is limited.
Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection and Shell Rotella T5 10W-30 Synthetic Blend meet numerous specifications and with approvals from many of the world’s leading engine makers, both are an excellent choice for on-highway fleets, general haul, construction, agriculture, public-transport operators, diesel pickup trucks, including high-power vehicles where resistance to increased heat and stress is required.
Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection, which will be available in SAE 15W-40 and SAE 10W-30 viscosities, is designed to provide hard working protection that adapts to driving conditions by providing enhanced protection against oxidation and better wear protection along with improved deposit control/cleanliness. The oil also sustains emission control system durability in diesel particulate filters and after-treatment systems.
Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection has demonstrated the following:
- Significantly improved resistance to oil breakdown under high temperatures.
- Resistance to oxidation up to 50 percent longer than the previous generation of Shell Rotella T Triple Protection.
- Engine protection that helps keep engines running long, clean and operating efficiently
- The most technically advanced Shell Rotella formulation ever.
Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection is designed to effectively sustain emissions control system durability where diesel particulate filters and after-treatment systems are used. It provides enhanced protection against viscosity loss due to shear and improved oil aeration. The exclusive low-ash formulation helps protect the exhaust catalysts and diesel particulate filters found on the latest low-emission vehicles. The oil is suitable for virtually all modern low-emission heavy-duty engines and older hard working diesel engines. A fuel economy benefit may be realized from Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection 10W30.
In API industry wear tests, Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection 15W-40 didn’t just meet CK-4 specifications; it delivered an average 50 percent more wear protection than required. It also provided strong wear protection in CK-4 engine tests including the Cummins ISM and ISB. That’s protection where it matters most – on the road.
New Shell Rotella T5 10W-30 Synthetic Blend will deliver all the benefits of a low-viscosity synthetic blend oil including improved fuel economy and low temperature flow . The new oil has been enhanced with synthetic base oils, plus advanced additive technology to provide Triple Protection Plus technology that adapts to driving conditions. Shell Rotella T5 10W-30 Synthetic Blend delivers excellent wear protection and deposit control/cleanliness. It also provides protection against oil breakdown and sustains emission control system durability in particulate filters and after-treatment systems.
Shell Rotella T5 10W-30 Synthetic Blend works even harder than new CK-4 specifications require and is proven to provide excellent performance across API CK-4 wear tests, delivering an average of 56 percent above minimum wear requirements.
Multiple tests demonstrate that Shell Rotella T5 10W-30 Synthetic Blend provides excellent piston cleanliness, exceeding Mercedes-Benz and Volvo limits for piston cleanliness. The oil also demonstrates excellent wear protection in the field, and comparable wear protection to Rotella T4 Triple Protection 15W-40 and improved wear protection verses CJ-4 Shell Rotella T5 10W-30.

Rundle Mall Management Authority joins event entrepreneurs to stage a new winter festival
- From: Sunday Mail (SA)
- March 09, 2014
SNOW machines turn the Myer Centre atrium into a winter wonderland, while hundreds of diners feast at long tables in Rundle Mall with street performers buzzing around them.
Fire twirlers recharge their sticks from braziers along the Torrens riverbank, where thousands have gathered to watch a laser light show over the new footbridge and eat and drink in an undercover version of Lola’s Pergola.
Hundreds more are lining up at food trucks in Victoria Square, anticipating a stellar line-up of bands to hit the stage.
These are the visions of some of Adelaide’s brightest young event entrepreneurs and the Rundle Mall Management Authority for a new winter festival.
Stuart Duckworth, part of the team behind the Royal Croquet Club in Victoria Square, said now was the time for bold new ventures such as a winter festival because Adelaideans were becoming “a lot more responsive to creative ideas” and seeking entertainment that “tests the boundaries”.
Mr Duckworth said he would be interested in being part of a broad-based festival, potentially centred on a riverbank hub and feeding off big football crowds at Adelaide Oval.
TELL US: Do you support this idea?
“A winter festival could really work. I think Adelaide would embrace it,” he said. “It would have to encapsulate a lot of different things to attract the masses.
“Having some sort of impressive (riverbank) light display could be a way of making that area more inviting.”
Rundle Mall Management Authority chief executive Ian Darbyshire said Adelaide was “not really cold and usually fairly dry” in winter so there was no excuse not to recreate the Mad March vibe.
He said he would lobby his board for a festival next year that could include artistic lighting of buildings along the revamped mall — like the Northern Lights along North Tce from previous Adelaide Festivals — long table winter feasts, a street theatre program and audio trails using the speakers embedded in new tree pits.
“You could have a big round circus tent in (the Gawler Place intersection) and have that as the focal point of a fabulous festival. It would be like a magnet,” he said.
Stev Plos, who co-founded the Tiki Tai cinema and bar on the Adelaide Central Bus Station rooftop, also saw the potential for a winter festival.
“People need to take a risk and do something different and see how Adelaide takes to it. We’ll sit down and talk to anybody about it,” he said.
Hobart has the successful Dark Mofo winter festival that will be expanding to Launceston this year.
Adelaide’s event calendar includes the Cabaret Festival in June, the International Guitar Festival in July and the South Australian Living Artists Festival in August.
Festivals Adelaide executive officer Christie Anthony said there was a need for more events to run alongside and fill the gaps between those festivals.
“I think a winter event is not that far off,” she said.
“When we work together and cluster things together, that’s when there’s a festival feeling across the whole city. Having more things based around like-minded events can make for something bigger than the sum of its parts.”
Lord Mayor Stephen Yarwood said ice skating rinks, winter markets and light shows were among options for a new festival and Adelaide City Council would happily work with entrepreneurs to make it happen.
“I genuinely think there is an appetite to do these things,” Mr Yarwood said.
Adelaide Festival director David Sefton said he would like to see more temporary eateries in the cooler months in “elaborate enclosed spaces” such as tents near the riverbank, but warned Adelaide was already “a little bit festival obsessed”. “I’d be all for more things happening through the year but I don’t think we need more festivals,” he said.
SA Tourism Minister Leon Bignell said the South Australian Tourism Commission was working on a winter calendar of artistic and cultural events across the state to complement the Cabaret Festival, and would meet with a range of organisations later this month to discuss new proposals.


Venator-class Star Destroyer (VEN)
|Max speed (space):||
3.6 × 1024 W
|[ Source ]|
The Venator-class Star Destroyer was originally designed during the Clone Wars and came less than a year after the Victory-class Star Destroyer. At the end of the Clone Wars, it had outclassed the Acclamator-class assault ship and the Victory I-class Star Destroyer to become the primary capital ship of the Republic. Venator-class Star Destroyers are 1,137 meters long, making them some of the largest capital ships capable of atmospheric operations, landing on planets to load and unload troops and vehicles. It was designed for the purpose of serving as a medium-sized, versatile multi-role warship ranging in roles ranged from a starfighter carrier, a military transport, and a fighting ship. As the Galactic Empire rose to power, the Venator was gradually phased out as the Empire wanted bigger, stronger ships. Many Venator ships fell into the hands of pirate groups and other organizations.
The Venator-class Star Destroyer was awarded to Clan Taldryan for a victory in the Seventh Great Jedi War. The Venator brought much more fighter support to the Clan and a powerful battleship as well. After being refit and put in action during extensive Clan exercises, the Katarn was turned into the Clan Flagship following the loss of the Dark Prophet in the initial attacks of the Vong Invasion. After suffering extensive damage during the Battle of Antei, the Katarn was decommissioned and sold for parts rather than having it fully repaired.

Late lead slips away as Rams fall in overtime
WINDSOR, Ont. - After leading on three different occasions, the No. 8 ranked Ryerson Rams women's hockey team couldn't hold onto a late 3-2 advantage, falling 4-3 in overtime to the Windsor Lancers on Friday night.
The Rams, who entered weekend action atop the OUA standings, saw a quick start to their 2019 portion of their schedule as Lauren Nicholson scored just 29 seconds into the game. That goal stood as the only marker of the first period and Ryerson led 1-0 at the intermission.
Windsor carried much of the play in the first, outshooting Ryerson 14-5, and that momentum played out to start the second. The Lancers got on the board five minutes into the second period to tie the game at 1-1. Ryerson's Laura Ball responded with her first goal of the season to restore the Rams' lead midway through the frame, but the lead wouldn't hold as Windsor's Jaclyn Kouleas tied the game again at 2-2 before the end of the period.
In the third it was Ryerson's Camryn Tait who broke the deadlock with eight minutes to play, but a late effort from Windsor's Reagan Kaufman tied the game with two minutes to go to force overtime.
The extra frame didn't last long as Windsor's Meredith Goldhawk scored 43 seconds into overtime to give the Lancers their only lead of the game, but the only one that mattered.
Ryerson goaltender Rachel Seeley was back in action for the first time since October 25, turning aside 29 of 33 shots that came her way.
The Rams will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they visit the No. 9 ranked Western Mustangs. Puck drop in London is set for 2:30 p.m. and will be available live on OUA.tv

Columbia University Morningside Campus William and June Warren Hall Room 101
Who would be targeted in a new International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC)? What can a future IACC learn from the International Criminal Court (ICC), and what definition of corruption would the IACC use? Is an IACC truly necessary if corrupt leaders are brought to justice by their own societies? These questions, among many others, were the topic of debate at a roundtable discussion on the proposal for an international court on anti-corruption, hosted by the Center on Global Economic Governance (CGEG) at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) and the Center for the Advancement of Public Integrity (CAPI) at Columbia Law School on Monday, March 30th, 2015.
The discussions centered around three key areas of focus related to the establishment and feasibility of an IACC. These touched on the specifics of the court, including issues of jurisdiction and general functions of an IACC; the complementary or discordant nature an IACC would present vis-à-vis the ICC; and the implementation process in establishing the court.
In opening the panel discussion, Paul Lagunes, Assistant Professor at SIPA, contextualized the main reasons for creating an IACC and urged the panelists to engage in questions related to state sovereignty, prosecution of private companies, and consensus-building with states who have generally been opposed to the creation of the ICC.
The lead advocate in heralding the creation of an IACC, Judge Mark L. Wolf, Senior United States District Judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, presented his arguments to the panel stating that the reasons for the creation of the court were clear, “Grand corruption is costly. Indignation of corruption is destabilizing countries around the world and is a threat to national security.” The court, he argued, would be complementary to the activities undertaken by the ICC and would provide national governments with a fallback option in aiding states to prosecute criminals.
Bentley Macleod, Professor at Columbia University, moderated the panel and presented the first topic on the specifics of the court, opening a fruitful discussion among leading legal experts in the field on anti-fraud and corruption. Neil V. Getnick of Getnick & Getnick LLP and Rose Gill Hearn of Bloomberg Associates both acknowledged the viability and importance of the court’s creation, but raised questions as to who the IACC would effectively target, and what powers the IACC would need to have in order to seek restitution and forfeiture in cases that it covers.
The second area of discussion provided an opportunity for discussants to debate what an IACC could learn from the ICC, providing some structural guidance on moving forward. James Goldston, of Open Society Justice Initiative, posited that the IACC could complement the ICC by creating a less time consuming pre-trial period for the ICC. Jennifer Rodgers, Executive Director of CAPI, highlighted some roadblocks the court may face in subpoena and arrest powers, while Daniel Richman of Columbia Law School advocated for going after the seizure of assets, rather than corrupt officials themselves, as a deterrence to continuing corrupt practices.
Advocacy and implementation of an IACC, the last topic of discussion, allowed speakers to highlight some of the remaining questions regarding the agenda and appeal in establishing the court. Ken Hurwitz of the Open Society Justice Initiative emphasized that it would be difficult to garner the political will to prosecute CEOs of major multinational corporations, and even more difficult to track financial flows through the shadow banking system. Jenik Radon, of Columbia University, emphasized the importance of a holistic approach to the cultural and political aspects of corruption and the need to address legalized forms of corruption in the U.S., including lobbying and taxation. Roey Rosenblith of Not In My Country (NIMC) and Kristina Miggiani of Harvard Law School stressed that the IACC would be an important creation as it would be a viable alternative to revolution and political instability born out of corrupt governance.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the first Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, concluded the panel discussions by sharing some of his own experiences in prosecuting some of the largest and well-known corrupt officials in the world. Ocampo addressed the panel in calling on real leadership to gather political consensus and create a legal framework whereby states can better share information on corrupt activities. In closing the discussion, Judge Wolf remarked that what he proposes is not naïve, nor idealistic, quoting the late Vaclav Havel in proclaiming that, “Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.”

I assume you want to implement most if this in Perl. In designing the interface
I suggest to restrict the C part to be as small as possible like it is now, just
extending it with the functionality which can not be implemented in Perl. This
includes connection management. My current implementation calls the method
connection_init on the config-object which then can return a new object each time,
pool the objects or return always the same object for each connection like it is
in the current backend. If you want connection pooling I recommend writing it
in perl on top of the barebone backend.

I go with you in making the C structures available in Perl. However I don't
think converting all data is wise because 1) not all data is relevant in Perl
and following pointers to additional structures would impose additional work
2) converting the connection data takes some time as the structure is quite
Therefore I prefer tieing a hashref with magic to the C structures. For an
example of how this can be done see

Ok, I already did unbind and extended, abandon can be added easily.

The main point is the decision if the method with the OpenLDAP backend
are more like the C API or the Perl NetLDAP API. Both ways are possible.
As opposed to my first posting I think it would be best to implement the
"raw" API as close to the C structures as possible and put a Perl
class framework (like the one you suggested) on top of this. You can
then have the best of both worlds: all information available in the C API
and an interface which can easily be used by pure Perl programmers.

Have you made a design for this? I currently work on a backend tailoring
adressbook-like LDAP access to a Postgres database. A toolkit for this
kind of work would be nice. Or did you mean something different?
You can look at the backend modifications I have already done by

Reporting from Sacramento — San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will announce Friday that he is running for California lieutenant governor, according to people who were contacted by him.
Newsom, a Democrat, has been lining up support and collecting donations for the statewide run. Sources say he will unveil a list of endorsements that includes many of the state's top Democratic leaders. The sources requested anonymity to allow Newsom to make the announcement.
On Wednesday, Newsom took out papers to run for the office from the San Francisco County elections department and paid a $2,600 fee. Asked if Newsom would announce his candidacy Friday, spokesman Jason Kinney said, "You'll just have to wait until tomorrow."
Newsom has formed a fundraising committee, and the first checks were reported Thursday. He received $6,500 each from Mark and Susie Buell, owners of the Esprit clothing company and longtime backers. He also reported $4,950 from Peter Ragone, his former press secretary.
The mayor dropped out of the race for governor last year in the face of weak poll numbers and low funds.

Nixed e-waste recycling program poses problems
York County Solid Waste Authority has canceled its electronics recycling program, citing complications from a state law.
Only two weeks has passed since York County nixed its electronics recycling program, and already the junk is piling up.
Unfortunately for Troy Combs, some if it is being illegally dumped in his business's parking lot.
Combs, the general manager of Best Buy in Springettsbury Township, said he's never seen anything like it. Best Buy has always accepted certain recycled goods, he said. However, he emphasized, people need to bring their items into the building to be processed.
"People should not dump stuff behind the building," Combs said.
The pile of abandoned televisions in his back lot is only the tip of the junk iceberg for Best Buy. Combs said his employees are hauling up to three times more electronic waste per day than they did prior to the county's suspension of the e-waste recycling program. That amounts to a truckload of old televisions, computers and other electronics almost every day, Combs said.
"We're footing the bill for the labor," Combs said. "York County is not helping us here."
Best Buy's junk buildup is just one of many unintended consequences of a poorly designed state law, said Ellen O'Connor, community services division manager at York County Solid Waste Authority.
The authority has blamed a 2010 state law, Act 108, for killing the recycling program. The law, called "The Covered Device Recycling Act of 2010," sets requirements for the recycling of computers and related items, according to a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection fact sheet.
"Act 108 has created an imbalance of supply and demand which makes it economically prohibitive for electronics recycling vendors to operate in Pennsylvania," the York County Solid Waste Authority said in a news release.
In York County, the main recycling vendor, ECOVanta, was no longer able to remain profitable after the state law caused the market to be flooded with e-waste, O'Connor said.
"ECOVanta kind of gave us a heads-up last summer that because of the market and the volume we were generating that they couldn't service us," O'Connor said. ECOVanta wasn't available for comment.
DEP press secretary Neil Shader said the law, which required manufacturers and retailers to help with recycling efforts, was well-intended, but resulted in some unplanned results.
"We know the act needs to be fixed," Shader said. "That's something we're trying to work with the legislature to fix."
Shader said he doesn't know when changes to Act 108 might occur, nor what will happen in the meantime.
The law is causing problems statewide, O'Connor said. Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Delaware, Franklin, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties have canceled recycling programs in recent years, she said.
Another concern is that the scrapped laptops and TVs could end up dumped along roads or in forested areas, where hazardous components such as leaded glass or mercury could leech into the ecosystem, Shader said.
"You're talking about stuff that really shouldn't end up in landfills," he said.
It also shouldn't end up in the Best Buy parking lot, though Combs said dealing with local recycling issues goes with being part of the community.
"We hold ourselves to high responsibility," Combs said. "It's adding additional workload to employees at the store, but we've always been committed to our community."
Combs asked the public to bring recyclable items inside, limit themselves to three items per visit, and to try to bring the items on a Monday or a Tuesday. As a general rule, Best Buy only accepts the type of products that it would sell. It does not accept items such as microwaves or refrigerators. In addition, the retailer can only take TVs 32 inches or smaller.


See a video of Jonathan Jones' solo.
The Meadows Wind Ensemble, conducted by Jack Delaney, Algur H. Meadows Distinguished Teaching Professor, received a standing ovation after its performance of “Blue Shades” during SMU’s Commencement ceremony on May 19, 2007.
The captivating clarinet solo that helped bring the crowd to its feet was performed by Jonathan Jones, a third-year student pursuing degrees in music education and performance at SMU. Jones serves as principal clarinet in the Living Opera and the Las Colinas, Garland and Arlington Symphony Orchestras, and performs in the East Texas Symphony Orchestra. His recent honors include first place in the 2007 SMU General Concerto Competition, and he is preparing for a debut recital in Italy this summer.
“Blue Shades” was composed by SMU alum Frank Ticheli, who earned a degree in composition in 1980. A nationally recognized symphonic composer, Ticheli is professor of composition at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music.
The Meadows Wind Ensemble has performed throughout the United States and Europe, and its performances have been broadcast by numerous national radio networks around the world, including the BBC in London. The Ensemble has recorded four CDs on the Gasparo label, including The Drums of Summer, which won First Prize in an international recording competition in Austria.

Travelers may encounter heavy rain and possibly some roadway flooding in thunderstorms Friday night, the Capital Weather Gang says, but the sun will shine on the D.C. area for the rest of the weekend. This should be a quiet one, with many people already on vacation or on a getaway route. But there are a few travel obstacles to watch.
Metro weekend delays
Track maintenance this weekend will lead to delays on the Red, Blue and Yellow lines Friday night through Sunday.
Red Line: From 9:30 p.m. Friday through the midnight closing on Sunday, trains will share a track between Grosvenor and Twinbrook stations. Crews will be working on the platforms at White Flint and Twinbrook. Trains also will share a track between Takoma and Forest Glen, as workers upgrade train control rooms and install new emergency phones.
Trains will leave the ends of the line at Shady Grove and Glenmont about every 24 minutes, Metro said. Between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, there will be additional service in the middle of the line, between Grosvenor and Fort Totten. In that section, trains will arrive at the platforms about every 12 minutes.
Blue/Yellow lines: From 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday’s closing, Blue Line trains will share a track between Stadium-Armory and Addison Road. Workers will be repairing the slabs underneath the rails.
Blue and Yellow Line trains will share a track between Braddock Road and the Van Dorn Street and Huntington stations while workers install new rail and make other fixes.
Blue Line trains will leave the ends of the line at Franconia-Springfield and Largo Town Center about every 24 minutes. Yellow Line trains will operate only between Huntington and Mount Vernon Square. Trains will arrive at the platforms about every 24 minutes.
I’ve received only positive reports from drivers about the I-95 toll plaza at Newark, Del., since the opening of the four new highway-speed E-ZPass lanes. They say the traditional bottleneck has opened up significantly. But the Delaware Department of Transportation warns that motorists still could encounter congestion at peak periods. Stay left to use the new E-ZPass lanes.
Best times to use the Chesapeake Bay Bridge for a weekend getaway: Friday before 10 a.m. and after 10 p.m., Saturday before 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m., Sunday before 11 a.m. and after 10 p.m.
To the Outer Banks: The Virginia Department of Transportation encourages drivers to use I-664 and the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel to save time. From I-664 south, take I-64 west to exit 292, Chesapeake Expressway/I-464/Route 17. Keep left to continue to the Chesapeake Expressway (Route 168), and take Nags Head/Great Bridge exit 291B to the Outer Banks.
I-95/395 reversible lanes: Many drivers planning summer getaways ask about the hours of operation on the special lanes south of the District. During weekday rush hours, the lanes are reserved for vehicles that meet the HOV-3 rules. They are closed to all traffic weekdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from midnight to 2 a.m. On Saturdays, they are closed from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
They are open to all traffic northbound from 9 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 6 a.m. weekdays, as well as from 4 p.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Monday. They are open to all traffic southbound from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight weekdays, as well as from 6 p.m. Friday to 2 p.m. Saturday.
Capital Beltway/Telegraph Road
From 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday night, one THRU lane of the Capital Beltway’s inner loop (I-95/495 South) will be closed from just west of Route 1 to the Telegraph Road interchange.
The other THRU lane and one LOCAL lane will remain open at all times. Drivers heading for the inner loop from Route 1 will be routed onto the LOCAL lane.
This road work zone, part of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge project, is likely to cause significant delays on the inner loop.
Detour near Fair Lakes Mall
Attention weekend shoppers: The Virginia Department of Transportation is detouring traffic on Fair Lakes Parkway near its busy junction with the Fairfax County Parkway, just east of the Fair Lakes Mall. VDOT is rebuilding the area into an interchange to improve traffic flow. The project is scheduled to be done in 2013.
The first phase of the detour prohibits through-traffic on the Fair Lakes Parkway at Fairfax County Parkway. Drivers will be directed from Fair Lakes Parkway south to Fair Lakes Circle and then back to Fair Lakes Parkway.
This phase, scheduled to last through the fall, will add five to 10 minutes to a trip through the area, VDOT estimates. The speed limit on Fair Lakes Parkway will be reduced from 45 mph to 35 mph. This does not block access to the Fair Lakes Mall, and the Fairfax County Parkway will remain open.
Maryland bridge inspection
From 4:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, the Maryland State Highway Administration plans to conduct a routine bridge inspection at Route 121 over Interstate 270 in Montgomery County. That will close the two left lanes and the two right lanes on southbound I-270 at various times during those hours.
Branch Avenue/Pennsylvania Avenue
The temporary closing of Branch Avenue SE on either side of Pennsylvania Avenue SE is scheduled to continue through the weekend, ending by 5 a.m. Monday.
The District Department of Transportation is rebuilding the roadway for the Pennsylvania Avenue Great Streets Project. The department says this major road junction is so busy that the reconstruction can’t go on while Branch Avenue is open.
Drivers who normally use Branch Avenue in this area might consider these detours: At Randle Circle, turn onto Massachusetts Avenue SE heading east, then go right onto Alabama Avenue SE, then make a left onto Branch Avenue.
Northbound drivers on Branch Avenue in Maryland could turn right on Southern Avenue at the D.C. line and then make a left on Pennsylvania Avenue, or they could make a left on Massachusetts Avenue and go to Randle Circle.
Metro parking changes
This weekend, the reserved parking spaces in the Vienna South lot will be closed while workers install sensors as part of a pilot program to indicate when the lot is full. (In another part of the pilot program, drivers are now about to check by Web or mobile device on the availability of the meter parking spaces at Fort Totten.)
During the sensor installation at Vienna this weekend, plenty of parking will be available in the South Garage, North Garage and North Surface lot.
Meanwhile, public-private development projects along the Red Line have reduced parking at the Twinbrook and White Flint stations.
At Twinbrook, 53 spaces and part of the sidewalk adjacent to the west parking lot will be closed indefinitely for construction of the 424-space Metro West Garage.
Alternative Metro parking will be available at the Twinbrook east parking lot and the White Flint Metro parking garage. Pedestrians entering the area between Halpine Road and the station entrance will be routed to the west sidewalk along Chapman Avenue.
At White Flint, the north sidewalk along Marinelli Road will be closed intermittently for about seven months by office building construction. Pedestrians between the Metro parking garage and station entrance will be routed to the south sidewalk along Marinelli Road. The bus stops for Metrobus Route C8 and Ride-On Bus Route 81 will be relocated to the far side of northbound Rockville Pike and westbound Marinelli Road.
Meeting on Circulator bus expansion
The District Department of Transportation has scheduled a public meeting to discuss alternative proposals for a new D.C. Circulator bus route linking Union Station and the Navy Yard and extending east of the Anacostia River via the 11th Street Bridge.
The session is set for 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Southeast Neighborhood Library, 403 Seventh Street SE. The library can be reached via the Blue or Orange Line to Eastern Market or by Metrobuses 32, 34, 36, 39, 90, 92, 93, 96, 97, A42, A46, A48, V7 and V9.
