Hard copies of this paper are no longer available for purchase.
In the 1999 IEA Hayek Memorial Lecture, reprinted in Occasional Paper 111, Otmar Issing, the eminent monetary economist and one of Europe's most influential central bankers, discusses currency competition and European Monetary Union.
Professor Issing argues that choosing a '..Hayekian discovery process as a route to monetary union' would have been too risky. However, the introduction of the euro has triggered '..a kind of Hayekian discovery process' which gives more scope for the private sector to 'enhance the quality of the medium-of-exchange and store-of-value functions of money.'
This Occasional Paper also includes commentaries by two other distinguished economists - Professors Lawrence H. White and Roland Vaubel - who criticise Professor Issing's views. There is then an Afterword by Issing.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - A 10-run fifth inning was more than enough to send the Union baseball team to a 13-2 victory over visiting Campbellsville (Ky.) on Wednesday.
The victory is the Bulldogs' fourth in the last five games as they improve to 8-5 on the season. The Tigers drop to 8-2 overall.
Jared Tomany (Bryant, Wis.) drove in a team-high three RBIs in going 2-for-4. Nelson Price (Burkesville, Ky.) went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two driven in. Tyler Young (Manchester, Ky.) had an RBI and a run scored as he went 2-for-3 at the plate.
Vance Sullivan (Verona, Ky.) picked up the win, tossing 1 1/3 innings in relief. He allowed no runs or hits with one walk and one strikeout improving to 2-0 on the season.
Sean Bouthilette suffered the loss, giving up four earned runs on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings of work. He is now 1-2.
Turning Point
Campbellsville scored the game's first run in the top of the fourth before Union posting three runs in the bottom of the frame to take a 3-1 lead. The Bulldogs put the game out of reach with a 10-run fifth en route to the 13-2 decision.
Union sent 15 batters to the plate in the fifth, rapping out seven hits and taking advantage of two walks and three hit by pitches. Tomany had the big hit of the rally with a two-run single.
The Tigers scored a run in the sixth to make the final 13-2.
By the Numbers
* The 12 hits match the season high for the Bulldogs. Union also had 12 hits in a 10-9 win over Asbury (Ky.) on Feb. 12.
* The 13 runs is a season high for Union. Previously, the Bulldogs had only scored 10 runs in a game once.
* Union has 36 stolen bases on the season with LaVance Anderson (Bowling Green, Ky.) and Miguel Mendez (Lansing, Mich.) leading the way with nine apiece. Last season, Union only had 21 stolen bases through the first 13 games.
* Kyle Williams (Paducah, Ky.) pitched well in his Bulldog debut, throwing two innings of shutout ball with three hits and one walk. He was helped out by two double plays.
* As a team, Union boasts a .439 on-base percentage thanks to 79 walks and 25 hit by pitches
Up Next
Union will open Appalachian Athletic Conference play Friday and Saturday with a three-game set at Point (Ga.). Friday's twinbill is set for 2 p.m. with Saturday's nine-inning game slated for 1 p.m.

On the basis of the cultural project devised by the museum curation team, Chaix & Morel and Associates Architecture Studio won the architects' competition in May 1999. Work started in January 2001 and finished in June 2005.
On the basis of the cultural project devised by the museum curation team, Chaix & Morel and Associates Architecture Studio won the architects' competition in May 1999. Work started in January 2001 and finished in June 2005.
Restoring its original light to the Petit Palais
Faced with having to exhibit the works in daylight alone, in his day Charles Girault used a wide variety of tricks to bring the light in everywhere: glass roofs, large picture windows, peristyle opening onto the inner garden… This approach, which delighted Parisians in the early 20th century, finally turned out to be too modern for the resources that the curators disposed of for air-conditioning the spaces and filtering the light. The architectural agency's approach therefore consisted of solving these difficulties using the most advanced technologies while restoring the building's original beauty and modernity.
One museum, two spaces
To make full use of the capacity of the Petit Palais, two different parts have been created: one, located next to the Champs-Élysées, is devoted to the permanent collections; the other, on the Cours de la Reine side, is reserved for temporary exhibitions.
Large-scale operations have also been carried out to create new spaces such as the auditorium under the inner garden, and the two underground levels for the service areas and storerooms. Upstairs, an additional level has been created in the volume of the south gallery. The offices, the new graphic arts agency and the cultural action department are based there.
A hundred years after its construction, the renaissance of the Palais is a success that combines the complete restoration of the building with new museographic directions.
A new sense of purpose
The new ambition of the Petit Palais:
• To exhibit more permanent collections (the exhibition space is increasing from 3 000 to 5 000 m2).
• To organise a balanced route through time, from the art of 1900 to Antiquity, favouring connections between artistic techniques (paintings, sculptures and art objects) and major events in the history of Western art.
• Reinforcing our educational orientation (developing visitor services, publishing guides, information sheets etc.).
• Using an "exhibitions – collections" space (450 m2) to display the museum's collections on rotation, including the graphic arts collections, which are too fragile to be on display permanently.
• Organising international exhibitions on the first floor, in the western part of the building, on an 1800 m2 to 2200 m2 circuit.
• Making access easier for all visitors, especially disabled visitors.
• Creating new places for socialising and cultural action (renovated inner garden and creation of the café, book and gift shop, and an auditorium with 187 seats, including 5 reserved for disabled people).
Redevelopment of the gardens around the Petit Palais
Continuing on from the renovation work at the Petit Palais, Bertrand Delanoë also wanted to redevelop the Champs-Élysées gardens located around the building. This project was entrusted to the Directorate of Parks, Gardens and Green Spaces of the City.
The chosen approach takes account of the site's history and the Champs-Élysées redevelopment directives.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- A new study finds that tourism in the Rocky Mountains' big national parks has provided a boon as the region's economy struggles to recover from recession.
The study released by the National Park Service shows that more than 11 million visitors to Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, Grand Teton and Glacier national parks in 2010 spent $1 billion in surrounding communities.
Those visitors and their money supported 15,412 jobs.
The biggest beneficiaries were the towns in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho near Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Those parks drew 6.3 million visitors who spent $758 million in 2010.
Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash says the study shows just how much of an effect that tourists to the park have, with each visitor contributing more than $90 to the area's economy.

Oracle Developer Diversity Realized
How to Get Started in a Career in Tech
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on Mar 20, 2014
Oracle takes very seriously the pursuit of creating a diverse group of people who work in technology. We have the Oracle Women's Leadership (OWL) and Women in Technology programs, for example. Externally, the Oracle user group community has Women in IT (WIT) initiatives, such as the ones run by RMOUG and UKOUG.
I'm always on the look out for smart people, of all types, ages, cultures, and experiences, who are shining examples of how a diversity of people working together in tech means we all win.
Oracle is committed to diversity. Oracle Product Management VP Jeff Caldwell with Sarahi Mireles at a Building Great-Looking Usable Apps workshop in Mexico City, D.F.
After reading a great online conversation about women in tech, I checked out Rails Girls, Black Girls Code, and Girls Who Code. I wanted to know how young women start to pursue a career in tech. So I chatted with Sarahi Mireles (@sarahimireles) in the UX team who shared her experiences.
Sarahi is a front-end developer based in the Mexico Development Center in Guadalajara, working on the Usable Apps website. Sarahi is a key part of communicating our UX messages and enablement to Oracle ADF developers, partners, and customers, worldwide.
Sarahi knows about the importance of role models as examples and getting people talking together about diversity. "Talking about my work and interest in tech helps change the way coworkers and others see women in tech and clears up misconceptions. The conversation encourages other women to become interested in IT, too."
What does Sarahi recommend to others like her who are interested in technology?
"Technology is awesome! It lets you be creative, it's a great challenge for the mind, and it encourages you to explore new areas. I would recommend a tech path that takes you into the visual and practical areas first, like animations and photo and video editing. Checking out a simple course on robotics can be incredible fun, too. Then, if you think you've got a good feel for tech and what you can do with it, develop that interest with programming, math, and science study options in school."
What kinds of interests do you need to have to work in tech?
"There are lots of other skills that lead to jobs in tech: design, arts, music, video, photography, as well as web development and mobile app development. If you're into solving problems or have crazy thoughts about apps for your phone that will be useful for your daily tasks, well there's an opportunity to turn those ideas into a great career in technology, too. What you need is already in your head."
So what got Sarahi started on the path to her career in tech?
"I got interested in tech when I was in elementary school, trying to record songs in Windows '95 with a friend. I then discovered web design through Myspace; it came with lots of possibilities for personalizing the way your pages looked by using HTML and CSS. By the time I was ready for high school, I knew I was heading for the tech world, so I chose a science and math-focused school."
What tech impresses and inspires Sarahi?
"I'm very impressed by apps I can use everyday to help me to save time or get something done quickly. Mobile apps like Waze, for example, let me get somewhere faster, whether I'm here in Guadalajara or in San Francisco."
Sarahi is interested in wearable tech. Seen here with Ultan O'Broin (@ultan) getting ready for a wearables design jam.
"I like apps like Dollarbird to track monthly expenses, WhatsApp to stay connected, and Foursquare to find a place to hang out–it works just great in Mexico. I'm interested how wearable tech makes life easier too, such as how Google Glass translates text automatically by looking at it or takes pictures or videos of what's right in front of you."
"For exercising, a combination of MapMyRide and PowerTap is great for cycling. I like VocalizeU because I can use my iPhone to warm up my vocal cords for singing class. And then I can use recipe apps like Epicurious to discover how to make tasty stuff from what I have left in the fridge."
Thanks Sarahi! What an inspiration to others! You've given others some great ideas for getting started on the path to a career in tech. What a a great example of diversity in action in the technology industry.
Watch out for more information about WIT and OWL, and catch up with Sarahi and the rest of the UX team at outreach events by following @usableapps on Twitter and checking in regularly on the Usable Apps blogs and website.

About the Book
"A wickedly wonderful storyteller."
—Jocelynn Drake
"A brilliant new voice in paranormal romance."
—Christina Dodd
Author Karina Cooper enthralls with her stunning new series, The St. Croix Chronicles. Cooper, whose haunting Dark Mission novels set a new standard for paranormal romance, carries readers into the shadows of a very different Victorian London, where science skirts the line between magic and mechanics. A magnificent talent writing in the vein of such paranormal and urban fantasy superstars as J.R. Ward, Jeaniene Frost, Gail Carriger, and Meljean Brook, Cooper introduces readers to a truly remarkable heroine: Cherry St. Croix. Debutante by day and bounty hunter by night, Cherry makes a truly smashing debut in Tarnished, as she trawls the seedy underbelly of an alternate London in search of a killer…and finds herself at odds with the dangerous—and dangerously handsome—criminal kingpin, Micajah Hawke, ruler of the Midnight Menagerie.
My name is Cherry St. Croix. Society would claim that I am a well-heeled miss with an unfortunate familial reputation. They've no idea of the truth of it. In my secret world, I hunt down vagrants, thieves . . . and now, a murderer. For a monster stalks London's streets, leaving a trail of mystery and murder below the fog.
Eager for coin to fuel my infatuations, I must decide where my attentions will turn: to my daylight world, where my scientific mind sets me apart from respectable Society, or to the compelling domain of London below. Each has a man who has claimed my time as his—for good or for ill. Though as the corpses pile, and the treacherous waters of Society gossip churn, I am learning that each also has its dangers. One choice will see me cast from polite company . . . the other might just see me dead.

Hey everyone, new around here... I have a new tank going up and I'm looking for a little advice for my stocking options. I have a juve diodon holocanthus in a 55 gallon QT until I'm done playing rock sculptor and plumber.
The tank is a 220 gallon, the sump (making a custom plywood one so I can get my skimmer cup out) looks like it'll come out to just over 80 gallons (it will be long and wide under the stand), I will be seeding the tank out of my 150 gallon reef.
Anyways, I have two small triggers (Niger and blue throat) in my reef that will be moving into the 220 with the puffer, I've had them over a year without incident, also a pair of fire clowns. I have done a great deal of reading and realize that adding another puffer of any kind will most likely lead to problems, but I was curious what peoples opinions and experiences were with this situation in a tank of similar size. I realize this idea is a calculated risk, just a matter of time, varies depending on temperament, etc. (I bang my head against the wall too when people talk about the 10 puffs they have in their 125 g) I just need to indulge the little devil on my shoulder telling me I can sneak another puffer in there with relative safety.

Hundreds of residents raced to the coast line at Batemans Bay yesterday afternoon when a waterspout whirled through waters for about 20 minutes.
It is believed the spout was 2km in width and ventured close to Observation Point in Batehaven before it dispersed.
The mini tornado on water is usually caused by a combination of rotating updraught, warm water and thunderstorms.

sadly doesn´t work for me either and always closes on me :(
doesn't work for me as well
I can login but I can't upload can't refresh can't make folders.... well... I keep waiting for a human-friendly solution for macfusion
- This used to work like a champ... until sometime around August. What a bummer. I have emailed the developer (or the guy whose name is on the site listed as the developer)-- inquiring about a fix-- have not heard anything.
--the code is available though for anyone who is versed enough in programming... maybe one of you could fix it?
Haven't used it in a while but it was working fine before- slightly easier than doing it via the gmail web interface. If I can get GmailFS running under MacFUSE I might dump gDisk for good.
Works just dandy for me. Really cool to use if on the go and trying to save HDD space. Well, as long you have web access.
There is a recent version available on the developers website. 0.6.1
I didn't have any problems with it.
Similar to Firefox gSpace. Maybe now I can uninstall it from Firefox
I'd use this if it worked, but for now I use the gspace firefox plugin. No 10 mb limit, and usually works bug-free. Too bad this one doesn't work, though, because gspace is about the only reason I ever use firefox on the mac anymore.
It doesn't work for me, as soon as it logs onto gmail it closes.
the previous release works better for me than the 9-11 release, which i can't even get to start up.
It works fine for me... does what it says on the tin...

The top-ranked Cal men's golf team broke the modern-era NCAA single-season win record Saturday when the Bears closed out the NCAA Pullman Regional (Wash.) for their 11th title in 13 tournaments this season.
Michael Weaver shot a 2-under 70 and became Cal's first regional individual medalist at 14-under 202, tied with USC's Sam Smith (76). There was no playoff.
The Bears advanced to the 30-team field at the NCAA Championship on May 28-June 2 in Alpharetta, Ga. Cal finished at 43-under 821 after a final-round 280 at Palouse Ridge. Saint Mary's (285-842) also advanced, along with runner-up TCU (841), USC (844) and Ball State (856).
Cal's Joël Stalter (73-206) and Brandon Hagy (69-208) were third and fifth, respectively, and Max Homa (68-211) and Michael Kim (74-211) tied for 11th.
"It surreal to have the most wins in history of the modern-era of NCAA golf," said Homa, a senior who missed his graduation ceremony at Cal.
The Gaels' Mac McClung (Irvington High) closed with a 72 and took fourth at 207, and teammate Jonathan De Los Reyes (De La Salle High) tied for sixth at 209 after a final-round 69.
After closing with a 14-over 298, Stanford placed seventh at the NCAA regional at Ohio State's Scarlet Course and failed to advance. New Mexico won with an 18-over 870 total. The Cardinal finished at 884. USF was 11th at 893. Stanford's Patrick Rodgers (76) tied for 18th at 7-over 220. The Lobos' James Erkenbeck (68) was medalist at 210, and the Dons' Cory McElyea (72) tied for 13th at 218.
San Jose State freshman Cody Blick (San Ramon Valley High) closed with a 1-over 71 and tied for 50th place at an NCAA regional in Tempe, Ariz. Blick, playing as an individual, had a 9-over 219 total. UCF's Greg Eason was medalist at 12-under 198 at Karsten Golf Course. UCLA won the team title at 30-under 810.
Teagan Gerhart (21-12) pitched a four-hitter, and Stanford (39-20) remained alive in the NCAA Lincoln Regional (Neb.) with a 4-1 win over Northern Iowa. Kayla Bonstrom, the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, had two hits and two RBIs for the Cardinal, which will play Nebraska (42-13) on Sunday. Earlier in the day, Stanford lost 7-1 to the Cornhuskers. Leah White's RBI single in the second provided the Cardinal's sole run.
Markesha Collins and Jessica Garcia hit solo homers, but San Jose State (42-17) lost 5-2 to San Diego State (36-19) in a loser's bracket game in the NCAA Tempe Regional (Ariz.).
The Spartans are now 0-6 in postseason play. Patrice Jackson, the Mountain West Player of the Year, hit a grand slam in the fifth inning to give the Aztecs a 5-1 lead. WAC Pitcher of the Year Amanda Pridmore (29-11) took the loss.
Danny Diekroeger's two-run single keyed a three-run first inning, and Stanford (28-21, 13-13 Pac-12) went on to a 9-4 victory at Cal (22-30, 10-19). Brian Ragira and Alex Blandino also had two RBIs for Stanford. Mitchell Kranson had a homer for Cal.
The San Rafael Pacifics traveled to San Quentin to begin their spring training schedule and came away with a 17-3 rout of the prison's all-star team. Price Kendall, Darrick Hale, Chase Fontaine and Kyle Dhanani hit homers. Ke' Lam went 2 for 4 for the all-stars.

Firehouse Subs donates equipment to first responders
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 7:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 7:58 p.m.
Local first responders received some much-needed lifesaving equipment on Wednesday.
Omar Ghorbani, owner of the Spartanburg franchise for Firehouse Subs, presented officials of the Reidville Fire Department and Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office with 11 automated external defibrillators.
The devices, purchased through the national restaurant chain's Public Safety Foundation, were unveiled during a ceremony at Ghorbani's newly-expanded west-side restaurant at the Dorman Centre.
Four of them will go to Reidville Fire Department and the other seven to SCSO. Ghorbani said the AEDs ensure that both departments will be prepared to provide assistance in the case of cardiac arrest.
"We're very pleased to be able to do this," said Ghorbani, who owns four Firehouse Subs restaurants in Spartanburg County and one in Greenville County near Taylors. "We are truly serving subs and saving lives… You hope this equipment never has to be used, but you always want (first responders) to be prepared."
Last February, Ghorbani donated more than $25,000 in equipment to fire houses in Una, Woodruff and Hickory Tavern.
He gave the North Spartanburg Fire Department a $10,000 grant for the purchase of a specially equipped Polaris Ranger ATV in November 2011.
Two months earlier, the franchisee donated more than $8,000 worth of lifesaving equipment to the Croft Fire Department, including four gas monitors and two automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
He donated $13,500 to the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office in 2009 for the purchase of state-of-the-art diving equipment, including five new Guardian Full Face Masks made by Ocean Technology Systems and five Pinnacle Evolution 2 Drysuits.
A year earlier, Ghorbani gave $14,500 to the Boiling Springs Fire Department for the purchase of an all-terrain vehicle.
"This partnership with Firehouse Subs has been a huge resource for local first responders during a time of budget constraints," said Capt. Tim Metz, with the Sheriff's Office. "These will be the first of these devices we will have… It is a huge benefit for us."
During the ceremony, Ghorbani was given a special award for his service from the Reidville Fire Department named after its former chief Kenneth DeYoung.
Doug Bryson, coordinator of the Spartanburg County Office of Emergency Management, said the new AEDs will help save lives in rural parts of the county, where medical assistance was previously several minutes away.
"This is a tremendous relationship we've been able to have with Firehouse Subs," Bryson said. "It's a very admirable effort and it goes to show how dedicated they are to our first responders and our community as a whole.
In 2005, Firehouse Subs created its Public Safety Foundation with the mission of providing funding, life-saving equipment, and educational opportunities to first-responders. Through the non-profit 501the company has given $5.7 million to hometown heroes in 36 states and Puerto Rico, including more than $612,800 in South Carolina.
Each restaurant recycles leftover, five-gallon pickle buckets and sells them to guests for $2. Donation canisters on register counters explain the foundation's mission and collect spare change, while the Round Up Program allows guests to "round up" their bill to the nearest dollar. All funds raised benefit the foundation.
Firehouse Subs is currently running a program where it donates $1 to the foundation for every photo of a pickle bucket posted to Instagram, the Firehouse Subs Facebook page, Twitter, or Pinterest with #BucketsSaveLives. The program runs until February 10.

Okay, I've read all of the threads complaining about blank printouts, and I'm aware of the sequence you are supposed to use, as well as the possibility that the lines are too thin to print.
Here's my setup and what I do (steps to reproduce):
I want to print to 12" x 18" paper.
I use Puppy Linux, and Turboprint. Printer is an HP 1127C. Turboprint has a defined custom page size of 12"x18"
The drawing is an imported dxf -- originally in mm. My application preferences are inches.
Drawing preferences are set to:
Paper Format "Custom"
Paper width "457"
Paper length "305"
Portrait and Landscape options are grayed out (landscape is the grayed default) and cannot be selected by the user (why?)
Units = Millimeter
First method:
Click Print Preview
Click center to page and adjust things. Looks good (see first screenshot)
Click Print -- print dialog opens
Click Print button
Page prints partially -- only a letter sized portion of the image -- 8-1/2" x 11" is printed on the 12" x 18" paper. The rest is unprinted (cropped).
Second Method:
Click Print Preview
Click center to page and adjust things. Looks good
Click Print -- print dialog opens
Click Printer Properties
This always shows US Letter size (why?) (see second screenshot attachment)
Change that to "Custom" and change the paper dimensions to 12 x 18
Click Close
Click Print button
Page is drawn into printer, passes through it without the printhead doing anything, and passes back out of the printer. Nothing printed.
QCad indicates "Printing Complete"

If I change the paper to Custom and 12 x 18 again and close the properties dialog, then reopen the properties again, it has reverted to letter again.

text: 02 March 2012 archive See all show photos IF only, if only our 10th birthday had been like a Lanvin 10th birthday. Firstly, there were at least five tiered birthday cakes on arrival, then there were finger sandwiches, and then there was Champagne, and then there were the lights – and then, and then, there were the clothes. After a suitable amount of party time pre-show – Dita Von Teese and Jade Jagger being snapped front row, another glass of Champagne if you please, a toast, "chink", "cheers" – the show finally got started. And to many whoops and cheers. It felt special and it felt like a festival – everyone with their phones poised to snap the first Lanvin look and commemorate Alber Elbaz's tenth year helming the brand which he has well and truly worked his magic on. "It was Alber's greatest hits. It was so fantastic and emotional. He's a designer who commands and has earned that respect. It was incredibly touching and what a wonderful evening for him," said Vogue's Lucinda Chambers after the show – which Alber himself closed by getting up on stage and singing, yes singing, Que Sera Sera. And whatever would be would be for Elbaz, was a very good fashion future at Lanvin, and one that is set to last forever given the applause and excitement erupting from both the show and the clothes on its catwalk. So back to the clothes. It began with a Lanvin rainbow – first a green and then a purple jewel-hued peplum dress, followed by one in yellow that fell into a rapture of ruffles at the back, then one in red that rippled, another in red – strapless this time – and then one in cobalt with folds at its back. It was a technicolour Lanvin dream which then made way for black fur and leather jackets and dresses that had a much tougher edge than those that had launched us into this best hits collection. Furry peaked caps came with skater shapes of skirt beneath, one worn with a ribbed knit effect leather jacket up top. There were rippling hems on coats that you'd have no qualms about wearing as dresses if the occasion did so suit, so glamorous were they. And then we got a bit glitzy and glamorous – as well you should when you're celebrating your birthday. There was gold and black brocade and silver and jewels exploding over a black shift with peaked shoulders – it was like being given special birthday jewels. Party dresses were suitably pretty special with double skirts of pouf and puff, before cocktail dresses, in water colour and lace and sassily strapless with a magenta or orange fur slung across the shoulders, stole the limelight. More jewels garnished more necks and elbow-length gloves gave a sense of elegant nonchalance. More claps and cheers and we thought the whole thing was over. But then after the Lanvin birthday brigade took their final catwalk twirls, curtains drew back, fairy lights flickered on and there was the man himself Mr Alber Elbaz. He told us he wasn't a very good singer but that really didn't matter as he, microphone in hand, took to the stage and began to sing his choice of birthday song Que Sera Sera. And we, Mr Elbaz, are very glad of the outcome of que sera sera when it comes to Lanvin. SEE THE LANVIN SHOW ARCHIVE Jessica Bumpus Continue reading Back to top

I have registered in order to ask this question (by the way great piece of software, thank you).
I have spent the whole day in order to make FLAC playback to work. But it's a big no go. All FLAC show up as "unsupported" data, and I cannot play it.
I have the latest version of PMS 1.90.1. I have also installed CCCP. There is no Mplayer in the audio engines, my main one is FFmpeg.
I have read all around the forums where people have the same issue, but there is no solution whatsoever. I have even installed Tversity media server, and there it works, but it doesn't stream Dolby. I like PMS more so I am trying to make this work.
Are there any solutions for this? It seems that it's completely ignored...
Thank you in advance!

The new, tougher schedule of the Tri-County Athletic League's Rock Division hasn't slowed down the Salesian High boys basketball team.
The defending state champion Pride remained unbeaten in league play with a 56-43 win over host St. Joseph Notre Dame on Wednesday.
The creation of the TCAL has the Pride (14-3, 4-0 TCAL-Rock) facing nothing but teams that will likely be in the playoffs.
"Because of our tough league schedule, I feel like going into the playoffs, we'll be well-prepared," said Jabari Bird, Salesian's Cal-bound star, who finished with 21 points, six rebounds and four assists.
St. Joseph's 2-3 zone defense kept the ball out of Bird's hands early, but the Pride eventually found ways to get it to him.
His first points came with 3:22 left in the first quarter on an alley-oop layup off a pass from Markel Leonard. He turned that into a three-point play. Bird's 3-pointer made it 17-10 for Salesian.
Bird added an alley-oop dunk in the second quarter and finished the half with 13 points as Salesian took a 33-18 lead. Jermaine Edmonds made three 3-pointers in the half.
The Pilots (12-7, 2-2) moved into a man defense in the second half, and the Pride built a 22-point lead that it took into the fourth quarter.
After having several tough games with St. Joseph in recent years, Salesian relished the chance to earn a relatively comfortable win.
"It was a focus for us to try to jump on them from the start," Pride coach Bill Mellis said. "Because the last few years, they've played us so tough that down the stretch of the game, it could go either way. We didn't want to be in a position where it was a one- or two-point game."
Marc Voisenat paced St. Joseph with 12 points.
Newark Memorial 66, James Logan 44: Visiting Newark Memorial utilized key runs at crucial points and took advantage of 19 turnovers by James Logan -- including eight in the third quarter -- to claim a Mission Valley Athletic League win.
Newark (9-6, 4-0 MVAL) opened the second quarter with an 8-2 run and closed with an 8-3 run that gave it a 28-15 halftime lead.
Newark's Joey Frenchwood scored 12 points and teammate Jo Jo Zamora added 11. Damien Banford was held to just six points but grabbed 10 rebounds and had a trio of assists.
The Cougars took command of the game with a 9-3 spurt in the third quarter to take a 45-27 lead.
Logan (11-5, 3-1) made just one field goal in the second quarter and scored a mere five points. Logan's Clarence Kaye had 15 points and five rebounds.

Ohlone 84, Las Positas 57: Four players scored in double figures for the host Renegades, who beat the Hawks in a Coast Conference-North game. Fredrik Boehn scored 15 points, all on three-pointers, to lead Ohlone (14-5, 2-1 CCN). Henry McCarthy, Warren Wright and Chris Read each added 14 points.

|Liam Doran speaks to the media
at Croke Park last Thursday.
Viewing the sequester controversy in the U.S. from this side of the Atlantic last week was a reminder of how much we have in common with you guys over there.
The financial crisis in Europe, in the wake of the global downturn, has been caused largely by governments (like in Ireland) that can't balance their spending with their revenue and that run massive, unsustainable budget deficits. And it's the same in the U.S.
You don't have to be Bill O'Reilly to see that America is in deep financial trouble, and that Uncle Sam's national debt simply cannot go on increasing at its present rate. It's got to the stage now where another trillion dollars hardly causes a raised eyebrow!
Just like here, the answer will be found in a balanced program of increased taxes and cutbacks in spending. President Obama wants more of the former and less of the latter, the Republicans vice versa.
There is certainly plenty of room for higher taxation at the upper end in the U.S., and that is something better off Americans are going to have to live with (unless they want to leave the debt problem to their children and grandchildren). Equally, there is a need for a major reduction in government spending in the U.S., and so far there is little evidence that Obama is willing to do that on the scale that is required.
But America is running out of road. Just like in Ireland, and in other European countries like Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and even France and Great Britain, a major re-balancing of the state finances is needed urgently in the U.S.
In some European countries, like Ireland and Greece, the day of reckoning has already arrived. Corrective action was forced on us by the IMF and the EU in return for enough bailout money to enable the country to function until we can get our finances back in balance. It was either that or turn into Argentina.
But the day of reckoning is also approaching in the U.S., probably faster than many people over there realize.
In Ireland, we've been though several years of so-called "austerity budgets" which cut spending and raised taxes and charges. And it's going to continue for at least another two years as we try to reduce the budget deficit down to a sustainable level of around three percent of GDP.
Getting the books to balance again has been made far harder for us by the mountain of private bank debt which was added to our national debt, something that was completely unjust and which was imposed on the Irish people to save European banks and the euro. At least in the U.S. you don't have that problem.
But there are many similarities in the situations on the two sides of the Atlantic. There are two big components in state spending, one being welfare programs or "entitlements" as O'Reilly calls them over there (that's when he's not ranting about it as "stuff for the folks").
There has to be major reform in that area both in the U.S. and even more so here. If Bill knew what goes on in Ireland with "entitlements" he'd have a seizure! That's something we'll be coming back to in this column in the weeks ahead.
This week, however, we want to look at the other huge part of state spending, which is state payroll. In the U.S., much of it is decided at individual state level. Here it's obviously decided at national level.
One of our problems is that in the past workers on the state payroll here have tended to see the state as a bottomless money pit.
In the private sector, market pressure dictates pay rates and efficiency levels. In the boom years pay in many industries (construction being the best example) shot up.
Since the downturn it has come down again just as quickly. Workers at all levels in companies under stress have accepted pay cuts, higher output demands and longer working hours so that their companies could show a profit and they could keep their jobs.
In spite of this, hundreds of companies have not survived and tens of thousands of workers in the private sector have lost their jobs.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Dan Uggla hit an RBI single in the 10th inning soon after a suspended game resumed, and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 7-5 Saturday for their seventh straight win.
Friday night's game was halted because of rain after eight innings with the score 5-all.
The game picked up right where it left off, at the start of the ninth inning. There was no national anthem, fans were scattered in the stands and it was cloudy and windy with temperatures in the low 50s.
The Mets lost their fourth in a row. Atlanta and New York were originally scheduled to play Saturday at 7:10 p.m. The resumption ended about 20 minutes before that start time, and the first pitch was pushed back 15 minutes.

Convicted fraudster and mother-looter Anthony Marshall was caught attempting to scam party-goers celebrating the building of the Titanic II. Marshall tried to hawk a century-old Astor family heirloom—one that he said was worn by his grandfather John Jacob Astor IV when he died aboard the Titanic in 1912. Turns out, the watch that Marshall was trying to sell never boarded the Titanic.
The real Titanic timepiece was purchased by a West Coast developer in 1997, who collects "luxury ocean-liner memorabilia." The provenance of the real watch begins when John Jacob Astor's belongings were shipped from the wreck to Nova Scotia where his grieving son Vincent picked them up. Vincent wore the watch for years, then gave it to his grandson, whose wife eventually sold the timepiece in an auction. Marshall disputes this, of course.
The 88-year-old fraudster is temporarily free while he appeals his one-to-three-year prison sentence for trying to steal $60 million from his mother, Brooke Astor. He attended the black-tie gala celebrating the Titanic II cruise ship last month. At the party thrown by Australian billionaire Clive Palmer, Marshall boasted that he could sell the watch for $1 million or the price of having no shame.

To spare you time, I'll run through the Must-Hears of this show.
Bathtub Gin - Don't be fooled, folks. This one ain't like the rest. I would say this is perhaps the darkest Gin of 3.0. The song builds in typical Gin fashion, but Mike and Fish lead the charge into some frantic dark thump-space. Trey catches wind and feeds right into it, soloing with purpose that could only be described as fitting for what the foundation called for. Listen to this one.
JJLC - Great setlist call, and it happens to be on the rare side lately. Everyone shines, but Page and Trey the most. Great to see them channel some blues now and then.
Light - Here's where things get OUT THERE. The standard on/off key noodling by Trey into an on key landing pad carries the "type 1" segment of the jam. This goes on for a bit, but then out of the depths, a groove develops. It's like a slowed down plinko jam with hints of calypso but dominated by atmospheric space. It speaks right to the soul. This segment is absolutely beautiful. Then, with about a minute left in the jam, Trey has this soaring effect that reaffirms his touch with the Cosmic days of 1999, 2000-2004. A lot of love is given to the Lights from Berkeley and Manchester (fairly, I might add), but this Light, to me, has a stronger core and a better groove than the other two. It feels much more natural in its progression. But that's just one man's opinion. Either way, it deserves to be considered among the best. It flows seamlessly into...
TYL - not only do I love this song, but this is definitely the best version they've played. This includes an added jam segment that is, again, dark and soulful. It hints at the songs true jamming potential, some of it realized in this particular take. You'll just need to listen for yourself. Then, out of the jam comes...
FEFY - love it or hate it, this had absolutely perfect placement and, for me, caps off one of the best jamming sequences of not only the fall tour, but 2009 and 2010 combined. Light though FEFY is a Cosmic journey into the darker side of Phish that is so hard to come by for more than a song or two a night. And that's FOUR songs to this point, And we're not done. This FEFY features Trey with some very emotional soloing. Stunning.
And, finally, the Must-Hear of the Must-Hears of 10/19/10:
REBA - This IS the best version of 3.0 and perhaps the best since the Reba from IT 8 years ago. The composition is nailed (in the encore slot!!!), and the jam starts out in typical uplifting Reba fashion. But this wouldn't last. Page signals the turn and the band follows suit, into another dark and unexplored realm that Phish seemed to open many doors to this night. This is the band at their improvisational best. The whole thing is mesmerizing, and Fishman's Manteca quotes add a new layer to the already deep Reba cake that was being baked in front of our eyes (this is also the beginning of the band's teases of Manteca throughout the fall and NYE). If you haven't heard this yet, shame on you. Do it. Now! I said NOW!
Lots of people write this night off because of what happened the next night - but don't. Augusta and Utica are two of the best performances of 3.0. I will stand by that until the day I die. But they also can hold their own individually. Augusta doesn't mess around - and neither should you.

Doctors believe people with an immune deficiency can lead active and full lives. The goal is to help people regain or maintain control of their lives. Common goals for people with an immune deficiency include:
Participating in work, school, family, and social activities.
Decreasing the number and severity of infections.
Having few, if any, side effects from medications and other treatments.
Feeling good about themselves and their treatment program.
Your doctor may prescribe medications or other treatments to make you feel better and to protect you from foreign invaders. Medications and treatments must be chosen for your individual needs. They may need to be adjusted when your needs change. Medications and treatments for immune deficiencies include:
Antibiotics to fight and prevent infection;
Antibody (IVIG) replacement;
And other treatments (e.g. interferon).
Antibiotics are medications that fight bacterial infection. They are used when signs of infection are present. Your doctor may take a sample of secretions from the infected area to determine what antibiotic is the best choice. Antibiotics may also be used to prevent infection. Talk with your doctor about the possible side effects of antibiotics.
Individuals who are unable to produce adequate amounts of immunoglobulins or antibodies may benefit from replacement therapy with intravenous gammaglobulin.
Specific immune deficiencies that may benefit from antibody replacement may include:
Common variable immunodeficiency;
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome;
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia;
Bone marrow transplant;
And human immunodeficiency virus (HIV is the virus that causes AIDS).
Antibody replacement with gamma globulin replaces IgG in the blood. Gammaglobulin given through a needle into a vein is called intravenous immune globulin (IVIG). This treatment is used for several types of immune deficiencies and helps the body fight infection.
Gamma globulin is made of antibodies from the blood of healthy people. Antibodies from at least 1,000 donors in each treatment provide protection against a wide variety of foreign invaders. The blood is carefully tested, and discarded if there is evidence of contagious diseases such as hepatitis or HIV. Talk with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
Because IVIG does not contain IgA or IgM, their protective functions are not replaced. People with immune deficiencies may continue to have trouble with respiratory infections. However, treatment with IVIG and early treatment of infections help many people with immune deficiencies lead active and full lives.
Other treatments are available for some types of immune deficiencies. Bone marrow transplants and gamma interferon are examples of these other treatments. Researchers in immunology are experimenting with gene therapy and other treatments that will be available in the future.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Augusta State junior Ryan Weems came off the bench to again lead the Jaguars in scoring Wednesday night with a career-high 22 points as ASU outlasted Benedict 82-71 in Christenberry Fieldhouse.
Two days after he dropped a then-career high 20 points on Coastal Georgia. Weems canned three 3-pointers and netted 14 points in the second half. Sophomore D'Angelo Boyce posted his second career double-double and a career-high in scoring with 19 points and 10 assists. Sophomore Devon Wright-Nelson garnered 18 points and team-best seven rebounds and Devonte Thomas managed 15 points, all in the second half.
The victory lifted the Jags to 3-0 on the young season, while the setback was the first for the Tigers (2-1).
The first half was a back-and-forth affair as the lead changed three times and the scored tied twice. There was 48 fouls called in the game between the two teams and ASU took advantage of the charity stripe, shooting 80 percent from the free throw line.
"We made some positive free throws, but we have to do a better job on ball screens," said ASU head coach Dip Metress said. "(Benedict) attacks you, but it helps us prepare for the Peach Belt Conference. We've got a lot to learn from this game. "The guys were in foul trouble, but I'm pleased to pull out a win. Now to prove ourselves, we have to win on the road."
Tied at 22-22 with 5:26 left in the first half, the score never saw a deficit above four points, as the teams entered the locker room with a 31-27 score. Boyce led ASU in the first half with nine points, hitting 4-of-6 from the field.
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Unbeaten they were and unbeaten they remain, as the Augusta State Lady Jaguars rolled to a 5-0 record for the first time in 10 years Wednesday night when ASU pounced Benedict 61-47 in Christenberry Fieldhouse.
The Lady Jaguars shot 42 percent from the floor and outrebounded the Tigers 51-40 in ASU's last game before Peach Belt Conference play begins.
"We're handling business and doing what we're supposed to do," ASU head coach Nate Teymer said.
ASU senior Taylor Ayers came off the bench to posted a game-high 13 points and nine rebounds. Junior point guard Tanchelle Hollingsworth booked 10 points, seven rebounds and five assists and senior Tiffany Jaecks pitched in nine points and five rebounds. Senior guard Brittany White, who entered the game leading the PBC in steals, added to her league-leading total with six more in the contest.
Alexus Jones led the Lady Tigers (2-3) with 13 points and London Richardson added 10.
Junior Jemimah Ashby's inside pass to senior Laci Schreiber pushed ASU out to a 10-0 advantage early in the first half, after White's first of three steals in the half led to a double-figure Jaguar lead. The Jags forced three turnovers on the first three Benedict possessions and capitalized, scoring 15 points off of BC turnovers in the first half.

With eight out of nine members present, Boonville's Planning and Zoning Commission met quorum requirements at Tuesday night's meeting. Voting member, Noah Heaton, who is a City Council member, was not present.
Though Planning and Zoning meetings are normally a monthly event, both the May and June gatherings were cancelled. Following minute approval of the April 17 meeting, William and Cheryl Whitehurse of Whitehurse Minor Subdivision, along with their surveyor, Mark Robertson, spoke to the commission concerning approval of the minor subdivision inside a commercial zone. The request involves the division of 13.2 acres into two lots.
The first, which maintains a house and shed on .39 acres, is under contract for sale by the Whitehurses. The couple plans to retain the remaining 12.8 acres which border the Lake Farrell Estates subdivision to the south and Ashley Road to the west. The request was forwarded by the Commission to City Council for further review.
Boonville City Building Inspector, Steve Hage, addressed and gave an update on city permit applications. Permits for new homes are in decline, but permits for remodeling and additions to pre-existing structures are seeing an increase.
"If you look at my permits now, I'm still selling as many, if not more permits, than I had in the past. But, everybody is going back to maintaining and taking care of what they've got – small editions, remodels, updates to kitchens and bathrooms. That part of permitting is very strong right now – new homes aren't. There's lots of new activity, it's just not for new construction," Hage said.
Boonville City Planner, Megan McGuire, gave an annexation planning update.
"We've been working on two annexation issues. One we know about is the Hail Ridge [Golf Course] annexation. We've been working with City Council to try and put together an involuntary annexation plan for Highway 87. We're working through that and are in the very early stages of it," McGuire said.
"The other piece that we're working on – we've been approached by the Oswald property, which is 152 acres directly east of the Super Wal Mart. That property is held in a trust and they are currently working with a realtor from St. Louis. They are looking at and evaluating the pros and cons of annexing it to the city prior to the sale of the property," she said.
The Planning and Zoning Commission are due to meet next month on August 14.

Intel Teams With 50 Cent, 'Melo on Biometric Earbuds
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich wants to play a major role in wearable devices. But the chip giant can use some help on the style front, so it is turning to a company with celebrity connections.
That would be SMS Audio, the company launched by rapper 50 Cent that has basketball star Carmelo Anthony as an investor. It is announcing plans to launch a new line of fitness-oriented earbuds based on a concept that Krzanich demonstrated in January in a keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show.
The earbuds are designed to work with a smartphone app to measure the wearer's heart rate, using an optical sensor. The biometric data is sent over the same wire that sends music to the listener's ears, which simultaneously helps charge the device, the companies say.
Not that there is any shortage of biometric monitoring gadgets on the market, including smartwatches and other wrist-worn fitness bands. But one of Krzanich's key messages is that people often don't want an extra device–they want more functions in devices they have already.
"A lot of people who exercise are wearing earbuds anyhow," said Mike Bell, who is point person for the wearables push as vice president in charge of Intel's new devices group.
"The ear provides a great platform for doing this kind of measurement," he added. "It's not moving around a lot."
There's no Intel chips inside, Bell said. But the company helped design some of the key circuitry and software.
SMS seems to draw on the fame of its backers in ways reminiscent of Beats Audio, the company led by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine that was recently purchased by Apple.
SMS President Brian Nohe said the product line formally called SMS Audio BioSport In-Ear Headphones powered by Intel will be available in the fourth quarter. The Florida-based company is not disclosing pricing yet.
"The price point will be acceptable by consumers," Nohe said. "It's not a crazy price point."
SMS earbuds now sell for $79 to $399.

James was one of the favored three who had the privilege of witnessing the Transfiguration, the raising to life of the daughter of Jairus and the agony in Gethsemani.
Two incidents in the Gospels describe the temperament of this man and his brother. St. Matthew tells that their mother came (Mark says it was the brothers themselves) to ask that they have the seats of honor (one on the right, one on the left of Jesus) in the kingdom. "Jesus said in reply, 'You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?' They said to him, 'We can'" (Matthew 20:22). Jesus then told them they would indeed drink the cup and share his baptism of pain and death, but that sitting at his right hand or left was not his to give—it "is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father" (Matthew 20:23b). It remained to be seen how long it would take to realize the implications of their confident "We can!"
The other disciples became indignant at the ambition of James and John. Then Jesus taught them all the lesson of humble service: The purpose of authority is to serve. They are not to impose their will on others, or lord it over them. This is the position of Jesus himself. He was the servant of all; the service imposed on him was the supreme sacrifice of his own life.
On another occasion, James and John gave evidence that the nickname Jesus gave them—"sons of thunder"—was an apt one. The Samaritans would not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to hated Jerusalem. "When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, 'Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?' Jesus turned and rebuked them..." (Luke 9:54-55).
James was apparently the first of the apostles to be martyred. "About that time King Herod laid hands upon some members of the church to harm them. He had James, the brother of John, killed by the sword, and when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he proceeded to arrest Peter also" (Acts 12:1-3a).
This James, sometimes called James the Greater, is not to be confused with James the Lesser (May 3) or with the author of the Letter of James and the leader of the Jerusalem community.

Apparently, QCAD 3 converts some coordinates to different value. All my drawings are in millimeter drawing and paper units and I usually specify coordinates with integer values in Q2, like Start Point : X=300 Y = 200 and End Point : X=300 Y =3110.
Now this same line, unmodified, gets the following coordinates in Q3 : Start Point : X=299.999936 Y = 200 and End Point : X=299.999936 Y =3110.000006.
Is it possible to avoid these unexpected differences.

Berlin NH July 29, 2011—A series of twenty-four 4'x8′ mural panels depicting scenes that capture elements of Berlin's scientific and cultural history were unveiled this week as part of a trio of events celebrating the restoration of the Brown Company Research & Development Building. An article in the Berlin Daily Sun tells the story in greater detail. Click here to read more!
The mural project idea was fostered by a conversation between Jim Wagner (Northern Forest Heritage Park and Brown Company Research and Development Building Rehabilitation Project) and Keith DuBois (NH Department of Environmental Services) about the ongoing destruction to the West Wing of the R&D building resulting from twenty-four damaged windows on the street-facing side. DuBois suggested the idea of having them covered with student art and Wagner, who has worked with the Center for Rural Partnerships on other projects, contacted us right away. PSU Art department faculty member, Tom Driscoll, was enthusiastic about the project and created a course in public mural art for the Spring 2011 semester.
From there, the project grew to include substantial support from community businesses and an array of funding sources. Wagner and Linda Upham-Bornstein provided cultural and historical expertise to guide the students in their design process. PSU student, Kaleb Hart (2011), documented the process and installation in photographs and video.
The panels will protect the building during its restoration and then move indoors to become a permanent exhibit.
Public feedback is overwhelmingly positive. At the unveiling, people volunteered that they altered their routes to come and see the panels and that the images make them feel proud.
The students involved in the project include: Michelle Boudreau, Tara Krebiel, Kristin Sarette, Olivia Benish, Katie Cotoir, Nathan Cote, Sam Smart, Craig Maines, Elizabeth Dalp, Nicole Copple, Meredith Gourley, and Brittany Connors.

J-Zone's "Root for the Villain" = a great read
"Root for the Villain" is a self-published book, 198 pages in length, written by one of indie-hop's most interesting, hilarious and polarizing characters; J-Zone. Each book comes SIGNED by J-Zone along with a handwritten quote and a J-Zone CD of his choice.
Many people I came up with in hiphop tinkered with the idea of releasing a proper book. It's kind of crazy to me that J-Zone is the one who finally got it done, and I'm so glad he did. He is smart, funny, weird, and most importantly INTERESTING. I dare say this book is Bukowski-ish. Not in writing style but in spirit. In his own words:
"I was on the hip-hop come-up, then I came down - hard. Splat. Some critical success, incessant praise from pop stars and hip-hop legends alike, and then...abysmal commercial failure. I did tours on Greyhound buses filled with wide-bodied, Jheri curled women and knife-wielding gang members. I witnessed my life-long passion for music dissolve in 12 hours and my final album sell a whopping 47 copies in its first month for sale. I left my little-known spot in a small, niche quadrant of the hip-hop world and joined my fellow overqualified stiffs with useless college degrees in the world of dead end jobs. For some sick reason, I find all of the above hilarious and have made an omelette out of any egg that wound up on my face. I pin my cross-hairs on everyday bullsh*t just as accurately as I do the dysfunctional ways of the music biz."
This book explores in detail:
1. A musical journey.
2. An ode to a hip-hop vixen.
3. The impact of forgotten rap albums.
4. Diggin' in the crates and cassette tape appreciation.
5. What happens when rappers get day jobs? (The plight of Generation "X").
6. What is a Gadget Ho?
7. A funny, honest, and self-deprecating look at the life of a struggling musician.
8. A playground for adults. Who would've thought?
9. If you try to figure out the opposite sex, you've already lost...
10. Are men the new women (What the fuck)?
11. You're not a New Yorker. You bought "Empire State of Mind" on iTunes and live in an old Brooklyn factory.
12. I live with my grandmother and she farts a lot...
13. The war on bullshit begins! Root for the Villain.

it's my birthday next week and this is on my wishlist.. anyone: feel free to buy it for me. otherwise, i'll get it myself for christmas.
even though i never really checked for him after 'pimps don't pay taxes' (which, after reading that book blurb, makes me feel slightly guilty), i've always got time for a bit of j-zone.. i've still got a copy of 'music for tu madre' somewhere. but, the writer j-zone has taken over from the rapper/producer j-zone for me.

FREMONT -- Food trucks will set up shop near City Hall on Friday evening, kicking off the mobile meals' new location and injecting life -- city officials hope -- into the proposed downtown area.
The Food Truck Mafia, in partnership with the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, will serve gourmet dishes from 10 trucks parked along Capitol Avenue, between State and Liberty streets. The event, called Fremont Street Eats, is scheduled to run from 4:30 to 9 p.m., offering Indian, Mexican, Thai and Hong Kong-style cuisine, as well as gourmet versions of pizza, Philly cheesesteaks and desserts.
The inaugural event will include a "first bite" ceremony, in lieu of a traditional ribbon cutting, and will feature games for kids and a live performance by Jukebox Heroes, a local rock band.
Fremont Street Eats will be held at its new location each Friday evening, said April Bibbins, Food Truck Mafia's event coordinator.
The weekly gatherings previously were held next to the Mission Valley ROP campus, two miles west of City Hall. But city and chamber officials asked the Fremont-based food truck company to move downtown, with the goal of getting people in the habit of going there, Bibbins said.
"We want to help any way we can to help Fremont create new things," she said.
The proposed downtown is a 110-acre area near the Fremont BART station. City Hall stands in the middle of the zone, which will be situated between Fremont Boulevard and Paseo Padre Parkway, and between Mowry and Walnut avenues.
Physical changes to the area have begun, including last year's opening of Sprouts Farmers Market, a health grocery store. Construction of Paragon at Downtown, offering 300 apartments and retail, soon will be completed between Walnut and Beacon avenues and Liberty and California streets. Construction of Whole Foods Market at the intersection of Paseo Padre Parkway and Mowry Avenue is expected to finish by early autumn.
City officials expect those new developments to attract Tri-City residents, altering their shopping habits. Changing their perceptions might be more challenging -- hence, the food trucks.
"We've talked about holding more events to get more people down there because we've heard people say they don't think of it as a place for dining and entertainment," said Cindy Bonior, the Fremont Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. "So it's about re-educating people about the area."
Contact Chris De Benedetti at 510-353-7011. Follow him at Twitter.com/cdebenedetti.
WHAT: Fremont Street Eats food trucks
WHEN: 4:30 to 9 p.m. Fridays, through Oct. 25
WHERE: Capitol Avenue, between State and Liberty streets, Fremont

Description and History
NPL Listing History
NPL Status: Final
Proposed Date: 12/30/82
Final Date: 09/08/83
Deleted Date:
The 18-acre Selma Treating Company site (Site) includes a 3 to 4 acre wood treatment facility and 14 acres of an adjacent vineyard that were used for site drainage. The facilities on-site have been used by a series of owners to treat lumber products almost continuously since 1936. Historically, at least two methods of wood preservation have been used on-site. Before 1965, lumber was dipped into a mixture of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and oil, and then was dried on open racks, letting the excess liquid drip off. In 1965, the Site converted to a pressure-treating process, which consisted of two basic steps: conditioning the wood to reduce moisture content and to increase permeability, and impregnating the wood with chemical preservatives.
From 1936 to 1971, chemical wastes from the treatment plant were disposed of on-site in percolation ditches, dry wells, an unlined pond, and a sludge pit. Chemical preservatives also were released to the ground, particularly in the wood treatment area, as a result of spillage, dripping, and leaking. Waste fluids were discharged through pipelines that ran along the boundaries of the vineyard into off-site drainage areas and ditches.
In 1971, after the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) determined that the discharges posed a serious threat, the Selma Treating Company was required to install an effluent recovery system.
In 1981, the Selma Treating Company filed for bankruptcy. In 1982, Sawmill Properties, Inc. acquired the facility with the stipulation that Selma Leasing Company continue to accept responsibility for Site cleanup.
The groundwater aquifers beneath the Site provide the only source of potable water in the area. The Town of Selma has a population of approximately 23,000 people.
Contaminants and Risks
Contaminated Media
- Groundwater
- Soil and Sludges
Former wood treatment facility. Site groundwater is contaminated with chromium. Site soils are contaminated with PCP, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and heavy metals, such as chromium, arsenic, and copper. If contaminants reach irrigation wells, crops may become contaminated. People who accidentally ingest or come into direct contact with contaminated groundwater or soils may be at risk; however, no contamination has been found in any public or private drinking water wells.
Soil cleanup has been completed.
Who is Involved
This Site is being addressed through Federal and State actions. On October 1, 2009, the State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) became the lead regulatory agency for the Site .
Investigation and Cleanup Activities
Site cleanup is being addressed in two stages: initial actions and a long-term remedial phase focusing on the cleanup of the entire Site.
Initial Actions
Initial Actions: In 1982, Sawmill Properties installed concrete drip drying pads and run-off containment
berms, and instituted operational controls to prevent further soil and groundwater contamination.
Remedy Selected
Soil Remedy: The selected soils remedy in the 1988 Record of Decision (ROD) included:
- Excavation of contaminated soil exceeding cleanup goals (13,000 cubic yards);
- Mixing soils with a fixative agent to solidify and stabilize contaminated soil;
- Placement of the soils into an impoundment cell on-site;
- Placement of a RCRA Cap on top of the fixed soils to provide additional protection from surface disturbance and water infiltration; and
- Abandonment of six dry wells.
Cleanup Complete
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), under an Interagency Agreement (IAG) with EPA, performed this remediation work between 1991 and 1993. Contaminated soils were excavated from an on-site unlined pond, sludge pit, percolation ditches, and dry wells used to drain surface run-off from the treated wood storage areas of the Site. Additionally, off-site soil areas affected by Site contaminants were excavated and stabilized on-site.
Based on data collected for remedial design during the soil remedial action, EPA determined that additional soil remediation work was needed beyond that done under the 1988 ROD, and an explanation of significant differences (ESD) for more excavation and more stringent cleanup standards was completed in 1993. The ESD for the soil remedy included a more stringent cleanup standard for arsenic (25 ppm), a cleanup standard for pentachlorophenol in soils (17 ppm), additional areas of soil contamination requiring cleanup, and documentation of compliance with RCRA Land Disposal Restrictions.
Work under this ESD was performed in 1999 by USACE and included excavation of an additional 5,000 cubic yards of soil from areas within and just outside the plant property where drainage and spillage from treatment operations had deposited Site contaminants on public right of ways and adjacent properties. The excavated soil was stockpiled on-site and the excavation area was backfilled with clean soil.
In 1997, EPA entered into another IAG with the USACE Rapid Response Program, to install a perimeter fence to provide Site security and perform demolition of portions of the on-site wood treatment facility.
Final Soil Remedy Construction Activities in accordance with the September 2003 ROD Amendment:
The Final Soil Remedy Construction included the following tasks:
- Uncovering and removing overburden soils from the existing on-site RCRA soil
impoundment cell to prepare it to receive additional contaminated soil;
- Placing the previously stockpiled 5,000 cubic yards of soil into the soil
impoundment ;
- Excavating up to 5 feet of surface and subsurface soils (total
volume removed was approximately 25,000 cubic yards) and backfilling and grading the excavated areas with clean soil;
- Installing a RCRA geo-composite clay liner and soil/vegetative cap on the soil
impoundment ;
- Installing a 5.4 acre Asphalt RCRA Cap on the east end of the plant property to
cover the excavated area and contain the contaminated soils below five feet; and
- Operating and maintaining the RCRA Caps for a period of one year.
The excavation, backfill, and reinstallation of the RCRA Cap on the soil impoundment cell was completed in November 2003 and the Asphalt RCRA Cap was completed in May 2004. The final construction inspection by EPA and the State was conducted on June 10, 2004.
Land use restrictions placed on portions of the Site covered by the Asphalt Cap and RCRA Cap. A land use covenant dated June 2006 between Selma Pressure Treating, the current owner, and DTSC is in place.
Cleanup Ongoing
Groundwater Remedy: The selected groundwater remedy in the 1988 ROD included:
In the 1988 ROD, the selected remedy for chromium in groundwater consisted of constructing and operating a groundwater extraction and treatment system to convert hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium, the disposal of treated and tested groundwater by re-injection into the aquifer, and the disposal of sludge generated by the treatment process.
In 1997 an ESD was completed for the use of percolation ponds in lieu of re-injection. The groundwater extraction and treatment system including eight extraction wells was installed from May-August 1998, and the post construction inspections and operational tests were conducted in September 1998. The treatment system began full operation at 200 gallons per minute (gpm) in late September 1998. The RA report, documenting completed construction activities for the groundwater remedial action, was completed in September 2000. Additional, ongoing groundwater system optimization is occurring at the Site as part of the Long Term Remedial Action (LTRA) activities.
Bench-scale tests concluded in early 2005 yielded results that supported the use of molasses, a food-grade substrate, to increase the metabolism of naturally occurring microorganisms to produce a biologically enhanced, chemically reducing environment. Use of microorganisms in-situ, or in-situ bioremediation (ISB), is a cost-effective remedial technology at the Site and will result in a large cost savings over time. An ESD in 2005 adopted full-scale use of ISB to optimize groundwater remediation at the Site.
In 2005, an ISB Pilot Test (Phase 1) was conducted within the relatively shallow chromium contamination source area at the Site. The Pilot Test used direct injection methods and ISB groundwater treatment was expanded to other portions of the chromium-contaminated plume.
After further delineation efforts, Phase 1A ISB was expanded in 2005-2006 to encompass areas immediately surrounding the Phase 1 Pilot Study area. Phase 2 ISB was also divided into two sub-phases with Phase 2A being delineated, designed and implemented in early-2006. The depth of the chromium plume within the Phase 2A area was the limit of the capability of using the direct push, direct injection methodology at this Site.
Phase 2B ISB, which began operations mid-2006, was utilizing a recirculation methodology to introduce the ISB substrate into the chromium plume. ISB recirculation methods are longer term by nature and are more effective on deeper plume areas. An additional substrate, sodium lactate, which was also bench-tested in 2005 concurrently with molasses, was used successfully during Phase 2B. Lactate lasts longer and was added to the process to enhance reduction of residual (hexavalent) chromium entrenched within zones of lower hydraulic conductivity. Phase 3 began operation in October 2007 to treat the hexavalent chromium plume under Highway 99 and is ongoing.
The use of ISB technology in the source and downgradient plume areas has been successful in reducing chromium concentrations on-site. The earlier extraction wells which were installed connected to the conventional groundwater treatment plant in 1998 have been disconnected and re-routed and connected to the ISB treatment system.
Cleanup Results to Date
Soil cleanup is completed. DTSC has 100% responsibility for on-going operations and maintenance. Groundwater treatment is being optimized. Use of molasses injection to enhance in-situ remediation of hexavalent chromium contamination in groundwater is in its final stages and has been successful in speeding up the time needed to restore the groundwater.
