A car hit a house late Monday night in Cincinnati's Mt. Airy neighborhood.
Police said the driver was traveling southbound on Colerain Avenue when the crash occurred.
According to Cincinnati police, the driver lost control, hit the curb and flipped his vehicle.
Police arrested the driver for suspicion of driving while under the influence.
Police have not released the suspect's name.
The Cincinnati building inspector was called to the scene to evaluate the home's structural damage.
No one was injured in the crash, police said.

A mobile home was destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning in Northern Kentucky.
Firefightrs were called to the Green Valley Mobile Home Park on Four Mile Road just after 3:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.
No one was in the home at the time of the fire, and no firefighters were injured while putting it out.
One mobile home was destroyed, and the two nearest it were damaged by the flames.
Firefighters have not determined the cause.
The man who lives in the home says he has been having problems with his furnace, and had someone work on the furnace Monday.
Fire investigators will also try to determine if this fire is related to a string of suspicious fires in the area earlier this month.

Georgia test scores show hundreds of local students are not ready to move on to the next grade level.
The CRCT shows whether students are ready to advance to the next grade level.
Students who did not pass will get a second chance at the end of the month, so hundreds are in summer school to prove they understand basic reading and math.
Steven Mooney is helping fifth grade students get back to basics.
The students work for hours straight on the practice test...and Mr. Mooney is very clear about the goal. It's written on the board: "I will pass the math CRCT."
Summer school principal Joe Moore says that encouragement is also important for reading.
The CRCT compares school systems across the state on both subjects.
"The students that are well-prepared and comfortable...they'll do well on the test," Moore says.
This is the first year that doing well determines whether eighth graders move to high school.
Dr. Carol Rountree with the Richmond County School Board says that pressure could explain why more than 1000 did not pass.
"They are much more concerned with what they're doing and how it's going to count," she says.
The same test already determined whether third and fifth graders advance.
Misty Gleason with the Sylvan Learning Center works with students outside the classroom. She says many need to learn how to take the test.
"You are testing their skills, and part of those skills are their attentional abilities to stay focused--and these are long tests," Gleason says.
It's summer school's goal to help the kids work through the long tests, lots of material, and the pressure to pass.
The next test is June 26. Students in the first through eighth grades take the CRCT to measure how well they understand core subjects. Students in third, fifth, and eighth grades have to pass the reading test to move up. Fifth and eighth graders also have to pass math.
In Richmond County, 616 third graders, 743 fifth graders, and 378 eighth graders did not meet standards in reading. In math, 486 fifth graders and 917 eighth graders did not get passing scores.
In Columbia County, 120 third graders, 128 fifth graders, and 76 eighth graders did not pass reading. 98 fifth graders and 212 eighth graders failed math.

I am have been using PS3 media server successfully for a couple of years now. Recently I have noticed the appearance of subtitles/captions during what appears to be chapter transitions. Not on every file and not every chapter. Just wondering if anyone has encountered something similar and if there is something I could do to fix it. And I am certainly only streaming the audio without subtitles choice when I select the movie via the transcode menus. I subscribe to the "if it ain't broke" school so been hanging onto 1.50.1. The last time I tried to upgrade the audio/video was out of sync so went back to 1.50.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated

An unusual discovery was made in Le Roy on Sunday.
Investigators say an SUV that was reported stolen from Pittsford three months ago was found submerged in a quarry.
According to our news partner, News10NBC, a worker at the Hanson Aggregates Quarry noticed the Jeep Wrangler partially submerged around 10 a.m. on Sunday and called police. Crews went down in boats, but they say they didn't find anyone inside.
Investigators say they traced the VIN number of the jeep and discovered it had been reported stolen out of Pittsford back in May.
The vehicle was between 70 to 75 feet down in the quarry.

Today, FoodFacts.com found more obesity insights in the news. There's so much research and information about the obesity crisis coming to light. And while there is hope on the horizon, not all of the news is uplifting all the time. Here at FoodFacts.com, however, we even consider the bad news to be helpful – illustrating for all of us that nutritional awareness and dedication to healthy lifestyle are of the utmost importance for the entire population.
Today we read new information that concludes that the way the stomach detects and tells our brains how full we are becomes damaged in obese people but does not return to normal once they lose weight. This is according to new research from the University of Adelaide.
Researchers believe this could be a key reason why most people who lose weight on a diet eventually put that weight back on.
In laboratory studies, University of Adelaide PhD student Stephen Kentish investigated the impact of a high-fat diet on the gut's ability to signal fullness, and whether those changes revert back to normal by losing weight.
The results, published in the International Journal of Obesity, show that the nerves in the stomach that signal fullness to the brain appear to be desensitized after long-term consumption of a high-fat diet.
"The stomach's nerve response does not return to normal upon return to a normal diet. This means you would need to eat more food before you felt the same degree of fullness as a healthy individual," says study leader Associate Professor Amanda Page from the University's Nerve-Gut Research Laboratory.
A hormone in the body, leptin, known to regulate food intake, can also change the sensitivity of the nerves in the stomach that signal fullness. In normal conditions, leptin acts to stop food intake. However, in the stomach in high-fat diet induced obesity, leptin further desensitizes the nerves that detect fullness.
"These two mechanisms combined mean that obese people need to eat more to feel full, which in turn continues their cycle of obesity."
Associate Professor Page says the results have "very strong implications for obese people, those trying to lose weight, and those who are trying to maintain their weight loss."
"Unfortunately, our results show that the nerves in the stomach remain desensitized to fullness after weight loss has been achieved," she says.
Associate Professor Page says they're not yet sure whether this effect is permanent or just long-lasting.
"We know that only about 5% of people on diets are able to maintain their weight loss, and that most people who've been on a diet put all of that weight back on within two years," she says.
"More research is needed to determine how long the effect lasts, and whether there is any way — chemical or otherwise — to trick the stomach into resetting itself to normal."
While FoodFacts.com understands that this isn't the best news for those suffering with obesity, or even those just trying to lose some weight and keep it off, we do think there's a tremendous message here. Healthy eating is a lifestyle. When we avoid high-fat, processed foods, and remain nutritionally aware, we avoid conditions and diseases that are preventable. We put ourselves in a better position to live longer, healthier lives.

10 Ways to Lose 5 Pounds by This Weekend
Sure, a months-long healthy diet is the real key to lasting weight loss. But you can lose weight quickly and safely. Here's how
First up, fiber. While the recommended intake is 25 mg per day for women, Reardon suggests eating 35 to 40 g of both soluble and insoluble fiber to lighten your weight and look like you've lost 5 pounds. Both types of fiber are equally important for health, digestion, and preventing conditions like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and constipation.
When making a food choice, however, don't worry about choosing one form of fiber or the other. Just know that soluble fibers are found in the plants you eat -- they're the parts that pass through your system undigested, delay the emptying of your stomach, and make you feel full, which helps control the munchies. This type of fiber is found in foods like oats, legumes, barley, apples, pears, and flaxseed.
On the other hand, insoluble fibers have a laxative effect and add bulk to your diet; they pass through the GI tract relatively intact, and speed up the passage of food and waste through your gut. This fiber is found mostly in grains and vegetables, including whole wheat, whole grains like barley and brown rice, zucchini, broccoli, carrots, dark leafy vegetables, and grapes.
Supplements, broken into doses throughout the day, can also help -- namely digestive enzymes taken 30 minutes before a meal to aid digestion and probiotics taken 30 minutes after a meal to help regulate bowels, says Reardon. Chelated magnesium, taken before bed, also helps with regularity.
Finally, a cup of hot water with lemon, in the morning or as a nightcap, can also get things moving. "This drink lowers the PH in your belly, which helps preserve natural probiotics and helps activate digestive enzymes," she notes. As a health bonus, all this excretion will help rid your body of toxins, excess estrogen, and lower your cholesterol levels as well.

Fantastic! The more often you eat (smaller portions and healthy foods), the more you do rev up your metabolism. Not enough can be said about movement. I started at a new school (a huge building) a few years ago and had to run the stairs to make sure I made it to classes on time. I started to lose weight and couldn't stop. Water, water, water--absolutely necessary to fill you up, help you lose weight, and keep your skin plumped and glowing!

Should We Celebrate a Decline in Global Poverty?
March 16, 2012
Adam Parsons – Originally published by Share The World's Resources
The World Bank's latest data suggests a decline in global poverty throughout every region of the developing world, as well as the fulfillment of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) on halving poverty well ahead of schedule. But is this really the 'good news' that we are led to believe?
You may be forgiven for missing the good news recently reported by the World Bank: that the number of people living in extreme poverty has declined in almost every region of the developing world. According to the latest global poverty estimates, both the percentage of people living on less than $1.25 a day and the number of poor declined between 2005 and 2008, the first time that an across-the-board reduction has been reported since the World Bank began monitoring poverty. Not only that, but preliminary estimates indicate that the share of people living in extreme poverty declined between 2008 and 2010, even despite the global financial crises and surging food prices. By 2010, it appears that the $1.25 a day poverty rate fell to less than half the 1990 rate, which means that the United Nation's first Millennium Development Goal (MDG) for cutting extreme poverty in half has already been achieved, five years ahead of schedule. This is surely a cause for celebration – or is it?
To answer this question, we first have to understand why the World Bank's poverty statistics are so important, which is not only for what they tell us about the number of poor people in the world. The World Bank is the monopoly provider of global poverty figures, and it is no secret that they are often used to support the view that liberalisation and globalisation have helped to reduce poverty worldwide. In other words, a reduction in global poverty can usefully defend the Bank's neoliberal policies that favour economic growth and free markets as the overruling means to combating poverty. Since around 2000 when the Millennium Development Goals were first conceived, the World Bank has consistently painted an upbeat picture of the global poverty situation. This is not a conspiracy, as some people might suggest, but simply an ideological justification for the current arrangements of the global economy and the status quo. So long as the MDGs remain in sight and global poverty is on a downward trend, then the Bank's continued defence of neoliberal policies can be vindicated.

Having had all sorts of problems withQCAD 2.2 Prof when used with Ubuntu 12.04 so decided to download ver 3.0.
Can't get it to install or run so tried to follow advice given variously in this foru, especially by hungerberg et al.
The 'equivs-build --arch i386 qcad3-deps.txt' bit seemed to go OK but when I tried 'sudo dpkg -i qcad3-deps_1.0_i386.deb' I got this:-
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~$ sudo dpkg -i qcad3-deps_1.0_i386.deb
dpkg: error processing qcad3-deps_1.0_i386.deb (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
Then tried to use the .rar file suggested in hungerberg's post results below:-

I'm now lost, where do I go from here to run and use QCAD 3? Would be most grateful for any help, I want to stick with QCAD, having tried Librecad which I don't find as good as QCAD (when it's going well!).

In which your inner fashionista learns to rock her wardrobe with savvy combos, pops of color, and oh yes, major attitude.
by Guest Blogger Kelsey Bradshaw / all collages made by Kelsey
In the middle of the summer, with pool parties every night and flip-flop tan lines growing more distinct by the day, the coming of school in the fall seems like a long way off. But with each sun-drenched day, the beginning of the school year creeps closer and closer. Even though this means that dealing with homework and overeager frat boys is also edging closer, there's one thing I'm super-excited about: back-to-school shopping. The stores in the mall fill up with new clothes, sales start popping up, I realize how much I miss wearing sweaters – it almost makes up for the fact that you have to wear these new clothes to, you know, class. Plus, everyone needs an excuse for a new pair of shoes.
If, like me, you're feeling kind of bummed about summer's end and going back to class, there's no better remedy than a little back-to-campus retail therapy. And if you'll follow a few simple steps, you can shop your way straight to the head of the class.
Step 1: Buy things that you like and that express your personality. You can't go wrong if you stick with what you know works for you. Instead of stocking up on [ever-changing, quick-passing] trends, though, pay attention to the classics, too. You'll be able to wear your new clothes for years to come, not just for a season. Casual or classic, change things up by adding new accessories to old outfits.
Step 2: Mix it up with creative, edgy fashion combos. If your inner fashionista just won't quit with her demands for something that really rocks, there are lots of ways to have fun with trends this fall. The good news: This year the most popular trends include pieces that are easy to mix with clothes already in your closet to create classic, more timeless looks.
First, try wearing a monochromatic outfit, or wearing one color all the way down. This can range from wearing different shades of bright yellow from head to toe to layering tank tops from the same color family. This trend is an easy one to shop for, since you probably already have different shades of one color in your closet. Keep an eye out for clothes and accessories in colors or patterns that complement what you already have in your closet, or grab a new spectrum of color to layer and have fun with.
Step 3: Master the art of the monochromatic – with a pop of color, of course. Take a neutral, monochromatic outfit and infuse a pop of neon. In fact, the outfit doesn't even have to be monochromatic, as long as the neutrals don't overpower the neon. Wearing this look calls for some major attitude, but no problem there, right?
Step 4: Get back to the future. To make sure you get an 'A' in back-to-school fashion, invest in some high-waisted shorts. Whether you go for the vintage, 70's I-just-stole-these-out-of-my-mom's-closet look or the more preppy style, they're sure to earn you major fashion points.
Remember, as cute and fashion-forward as you'll look wearing your new duds, be sure to make them your own and let your natural fabulous style shine through. If you're comfortable in what you're wearing, you'll look fantastic no matter what.

The video game industry is in an uncertain place. No one knows what the future will look like, as consoles look like dinosaurs compared to platforms on Facebook and iPad that draw growing audiences.
In times like this, everyone looks to Nintendo for guidance. The Japanese company has long been one of the industry's innovators. It's the trendsetter. When Nintendo released the Wii, Sony and Microsoft followed suit with their own motion controls -- the Move controller and Kinect, respectively. When Nintendo launched fitness games, dozens of copycats followed suit.
So what will the next generation of consoles look like? Well, if Nintendo's new system, the Wii U, is any indication, the future will be a combination of controller and touch-screen. It's a design that tries to appeal to core crowds used to playing "Call of Duty" and casual gamers who are fans of "Angry Birds."
Used in conjunction with a high-definition TV, the Wii U and its GamePad open up new forms of asynchronous gameplay. That's when two players in the same game have different experiences. That's shown off in the minigames of "Nintendo Land," where four players can go against one person in games like hide and seek. The player using the GamePad uses her personal touch-screen to hide, while the other four look on the TV and use the Wii remotes to search for her.
Launching pad
Elsewhere, it extends the control scheme in single-player games, transforming the touch-screen to a launching pad for shooting stars. The GamePad also can be used to move Mii characters via balloons.
These are new forms of play that previously were impossible on consoles, and they have a way of redefining on-the-couch multiplayer -- something that's been neglected in an age when most play competitively over the Internet. But there's a magic to playing with friends in person. It's more visceral, more euphoric. It's the difference between listening to a record and hearing a band live.
But building a social console nowadays means more than reinventing local play. It requires something on the software side; with a recent update, the Wii U adds Miiverse, which is essentially a Twitter-like service that players use to talk about games. They can share screenshots or touch-screen doodles. They can even ask for hints if they're stuck.
If 100 characters isn't enough to get a tip across, they can always video chat with friends. There's an excellent camera built into the Wii U GamePad that allows players to talk to each other from their living rooms. Unfortunately, both players have to set up the call. It's not as casual as calling someone during a gameplay sessions. But this is the social glue that binds everything together.
Room to improve
Despite some visionary ideas, the Wii U has some limitations and problems. In terms of power, it's comparable to current generation systems, so it won't impress gamers with visuals. But the bigger problem is the Wii U's small hard drive. As more games go digital, consoles need the space to store them, but Wii U's two models -- 8GB and 32GB -- are not enough.
Furthermore, if Nintendo wants to make sure its system is built for the future, it has to be a box at the center of the living room. It should be able to stream movies and TV shows and also go on the Web. It can partly do that with Netflix and its own browser, but players will have to wait on the more impressive feature called Nintendo TVii.
That's supposed to be the one-stop place for players to access video content. Users will be able to search for shows such as "Modern Family" on services such as Hulu Plus or ABC's website. Wii U is also supposed to be able to add a social function so that players can tweet or add their own commentary to content such as live sports. Unfortunately, that functionality isn't in the system yet. Nintendo says it will add it in December.
That makes the Wii U a solid but incomplete console at the moment. Like all modern consoles, Nintendo's system will evolve and change over time. The Wii U isn't static. It's malleable and has the chance to improve.

SARASOTA - A woman was flown to the hospital with critical injuries, after being hit by a car as she walked across North Tamiami Trail near 18th Street around 8 p.m.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the accident was a hit-and-run.
A southbound car struck Dorothy M. McMahon, 55, of Sarasota as she crossed U.S. 41 from east to west.
She was flown to Blake Medical Center in Bradenton, where she is currently in critical condition.
The driver had not been cited for the crash.
The southbound lanes of the Trail were closed for two hours while the police traffic unit investigated.
Sarasota Police are asking anyone with information about the crash to contact Officer Travis Forrister at (941) 539-4721.

One wintry day in Beaver Creek, a curious young boy wandered away from his family, toward a frozen fountain. As he leaned over the stone wall to study the frozen water, he saw a quick burst of blue light beneath the ice. He waited for what seemed like forever for the flash to happen again, and when it didn't, he figured he had imagined the light. But just as he decided to find his family - whoosh - the light appeared again.
He began to tap, then pound on the ice, and the blue light responded, making him laugh so hard he lost his balance and fell into the fountain. Suddenly, the blue light danced around him. Ultimately, he lost his balance and crashed down upon the ice, cracking it wide open. And then he saw something - something magical, something almost unimaginable: Between the cracks, he saw a tiny nose, a little mouth and two sparkling eyes looking back at him. Just then, his mom yelled for him and he obeyed, but as he walked away from the fountain, he caught a glimpse of two elfish characters emerging from the ice.
And so begins the story of Winterfest, a magical holiday Beaver Creek tradition, which debuted last year. Every year, during the last couple weeks of December, the friendly creatures that live underground, in Winterlund, crawl through a portal, which leads from Winterlund to Beaver Creek. There, they saunter along the plaza, playing with kids and families, and generally bringing the magic of winter alive.
Old Man Winter helps kids' dreams come true, as they tie a ribbon around his walking staff and make a wish. The Snow Princess glides along, reminding little girls of their beauty. Scurry and Snowflake, the elves who originally found their way from beneath the ice, frolic about, along with other characters, like Bombar and the Snow Dragon.
"The kids want to believe in magic," said Cooter Overcash, who transforms into Old Man Winter during the festival. "It's the families' chance to have fun in winter."
A fun-for-all
The two-week festival, which kicks off today and runs through Jan. 5, includes events for all kinds of young folks - from toddlers to teens, said producer Brian Hall.
Santa hosts special workshops; the ice rink turns into a disco, complete with costumed skaters, a mirrored ball, lights and sounds of the '70s; visitors join in on drum circles, with about 50 drums to borrow; jugglers mesmerize onlookers with their flying fire torches; the Denver Zoo brings up eagles, falcons, owls and more to educate people about native birds; and figure-skating shows dazzle crowds.
Beaver Creek's Got Talent blends local kids with visitors who have sent in an online video to audition. The first day of the competition features the top 12 entrants, and on day two, the six best kids go head-to-head.
Every afternoon, at 4 p.m., the Snow Princess leads kids in a Wonder Parade, which starts at the Covered Bridge. Kids bang drums and sound instruments as they merrily march through the plaza.
"The overall intention is to create lifelong memories and experiences and to interact with the characters and environment in a way they wouldn't be able to at any other ski resort," said Tim Baker, the resort's executive director.
Winterlund characters hang out with kids from 3:30 to 7 p.m. every day, spinning their tales and enchanting children throughout the village. The Snow Princess often indulges in "princess moments," as Old Man Winter - or "Winny" - as she calls him, tells it. She'll get down on her knees to take pictures with kids, but when it's time to rise onto her feet, she'll often shout, "Winny," and that's his cue to help her up, in the royal manner in which she's accustomed. And the girls just eat it up.
"It's like they're in Disneyland," Hall said. "They're all around our Snow Princess."
"So many people can identify with her," Overcash said. "She's just so much fun."
Co-created by the kids
Hall wrote the storyline for Winterfest, which brings "more substance to hold onto and have fun with," he said. "It really is a story-based festival."
He uses lighting and props, like 6-foot-in-diameter hanging stars to stage the festival.
"We use the elements of theater to bring this special time to life. You are actually in the set of Winterfest," he said. "You feel like you're wrapped and enveloped in this really cool setting."
In fact, the kids unwittingly contribute to the characters' development. Old Man's wish staff came about when one kid, during last winter's sparse snow, said, "I wish it would snow." Overcash happened to have a few ribbons in his satchel, so he gave it to the child and said, "Here, make a wish, and tie it around my walking stick."
Needless to say, Winny needed a lot more magic ribbons. By the end of the festival, colorful ribbons coated his 5-foot-7-inch staff. Now, it's one of the most fun things he does.
"What's really exciting is that the kids are developing the story, and when they have ownership of the story, it's just really fun," Overcash said.
Last year's wish staff will stand near the fountain, where the story first began. And this year, wishes begin anew.
Shape-shifty type creatures also emerge from Winterlund and frolic about. Old Man Winter doesn't like to label the creatures; rather, he leaves it to the kids to define.
"It goes back to the imagination and what they see," Overcash said, "When they give us an idea of what they see, we try to elaborate on that to fulfill their dreams ... last year, it was so gratifying to have a bunch of people say, 'We did it' (when it finally snowed.)"
Last year also featured rows of about 35 to 40 ice sculptures along the main stage. Plus, a plethora of penguins created a theme within the theme: five penguins remained hidden throughout the resort, so Winterlund characters gave clues to help the kids uncover them. Michele Huyke of Rimini played along by creating "penguin food," a candy for the kids, but the kids didn't restrict their sweet delights to just themselves.
"We had kids walking around with chocolates, trying to feed our penguin sculptures," Hall said.
The characters also act as guides, encouraging kids to try winter activities, like skating, that they might otherwise be too scared to do.
As Overcash says:
"It's all about believing there's a real magic to winter."

Different predictions have been made for the European economy in 2013. Recently, the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, declared the euro crisis to be over (1). Similarly, the European Central Bank Vice-President, Vitor Constancio, has predicted that European economies will begin to recover by mid-2013 (2). However, many others do not share this optimism. A report by Ernst and Young stated that the heaviest impact of the crisis will hit Europe this year (3).
These economic dynamics are profoundly troubling for the pharmaceutical industry. The ongoing crisis has led to renewed cuts in public services and accelerated cost-containment policies in healthcare, such as imposed price cuts. Unfortunately, there is a general impression among politicians, the public and the media that the pharmaceutical industry is a "rich" sector that can afford to bear the brunt of these policies. For example, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) says that its member companies spend €27.5 billion on research and development and generate an EU-trade balance surplus of €48.3 billion (4). The scale of such figures may reinforce the illusion that the pharma industry has plenty of money and will not be as hard hit by the crisis as other sectors.The industry strikes back
This belief that the industry is not being affected by the economic crisis has caused great anger among pharma companies of all sizes. Recently, leaders in the pharmaceutical industry have focused on publicly challenging cost-cutting measures that they consider unfair and highlighting examples of how the economic crisis is distorting the pharmaceutical market. In June 2012, Sir Andrew Witty, President of EFPIA, issued an open letter to European Heads of States and Governments. In a familiar message, he pointed out the vital economic role that the pharmaceutical industry played in the region and that pricing and reimbursement policies were threatening its competitiveness and contribution to healthcare (4). However, on this occasion, the letter heavily emphasised how flexible the pharmaceutical industry had been in trying to assist European governments in coping with the financial crisis. According to the letter, in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain alone, the pharmaceutical industry had contributed, through price cuts and discounts, more than €7 billion in 2010 and 2011. As this figure represents more than 8% of the industry's turnover in those markets on a yearly basis, it was clear that EFPIA wanted government recognition for its cooperation rather than being used as scapegoat for further cuts.
The major concern for European pharma companies is that accepting price cuts in certain countries could lead to major financial blows throughout the region because many European governments observe costs in other countries when calculating national pharmaceutical prices. The pharma industry has been seeking recognition for the fact that reduced pharmaceutical prices in certain countries are part of efforts to help nations cope with the economic crisis rather than "normal" prices. However, governments are instead using the low prices seen elsewhere in Europe as a way of cutting costs in their own countries.
In Greece, pharmaceutical companies have had to bear considerable price cuts as part of the country's austerity measures, but the impact has been widespread. EFPIA contends that a 10% price cut in Greece cost the industry €299 million in the national market, €799 million in Europe and more than €2 billion worldwide because of the rereferencing of Greek prices through formal and informal links (4).

Once again, Silicon Valley royalty will join first lady Michelle Obama to watch her husband deliver his State of the Union address Tuesday.
Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook will sit in the first lady's box, a White House official said. He will be joined by military families, those championing immigration reform and those whose lives have been touched by gun violence.
Cook, the official said, heads a company that underscores America's innovation economy and has said it plans to manufacture some Macintosh computers in the United States. Increasing manufacturing jobs in America is one of President Barack Obama's economic goals.
Last year, Michelle Obama's guests included Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and Mike Krieger, co-founder of photography app Instagram.
Obama will deliver the 2013 State of the Union address at 6 p.m. Tuesday before a joint session of Congress.
The first lady also invited Bobak Ferdowsi, known as the NASA "Mohawk Guy," a member of the Mars Curiosity rover team at NASA and Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
President Obama singled out Ferdowsi for his haircut when he called to congratulate the team after the successful landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars in August. The car-sized robot is equipped with a laser, chemistry set and drill for assessing whether Mars ever had an environment able to support small life forms.
Rep. Mike Honda, D-San Jose, has invited South San Francisco-based Counsyl CEO and co-founder Ramji Srinivasan. The startup, founded in a dorm at Stanford University, developed an inexpensive test for parents planning to start a family that can identify more than 100 recessive genetic conditions, many of which result in severe birth defects, chronic disease, intellectual disabilities and early mortality.
The 6-year-old Counsyl is backed by the likes of Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and Google (GOOG) Chief Legal Officer David Drummond.
"We started the company out of a dorm room not long ago, drinking Red Bull -- to be invited to this is quite an honor," Srinivasan said. "I am personally thrilled."

SANTA CLARA -- Punter Andy Lee makes a living booting the ball with his right foot. Even so, his success is tied to the health of his hands.
Performing as well as he has the past three games counts as even more remarkable, then, considering he has played with a broken right thumb.
"Whoever said kickers aren't tough, punters aren't tough, they don't know what they're talking about," 49ers special teams regular Darcel McBath said. "David (Akers, kicker) and Andy are as tough as they get. To have a broken hand and know that it's going to hurt every time you catch the ball, and you still have to do your job, that's a testament to his mentality."
Lee suffered his injury in the regular-season opener against the Green Bay Packers. He wears a brace during games, which helps lessen the pain while fielding snaps as a punter and holder on extra-point and field-goal attempts.
Akers calls Lee's injury "significant," especially considering the importance of the right hand on punts.
"About 85 to 90 percent of your punt is your drop," Akers said. "When you make all things equal with guys' legs, the consistency of the drop is (a huge difference)."
One would be hard-pressed to know Lee has been playing at less than full strength.
His second punt against the New York Jets on Sunday pinned the Jets at their own 3-yard line. Midway through the third quarter, another one of his punts was downed at the Jets 2.
The 49ers scored touchdowns on their ensuing possessions, thanks to favorable field position.
"He flips the field," Akers said. "Not only does he flip the field, but he's real good at pinning the opponent inside, not necessarily the 20, the 10. ... It's like he's worked on his 60-degree wedge in golf."
In typical Lee fashion, he downplays his effort.
"Catching the ball, holding the ball, it's huge, especially with your thumb," Lee said. "It's been challenging here and there, but I came through it pretty well."
Once again, Lee is enjoying another fine season. Eight of his 15 punts have pinned the opponent inside its 20-yard line, with only one touchback.
Lee is fresh from an All-Pro season in which he averaged 50.9 yards and netted 44 yards, both league bests. The latter mark broke the NFL record.
It's getting to the point where it's news when Lee doesn't square up a punt. Maybe so, but his teammates don't take him for granted.
"It's one of those things where you don't know what you got until it's gone," McBath said. "And we have him. He's probably spoiled us a little bit, but we definitely appreciate him."
"I'm ready to play," Jacobs said, with sweat running down his face.
Jacobs ran a series of 60-yard dashes Tuesday, without holding back on a left knee that was injured Aug. 18 in an exhibition game against the Houston Texans.
"I ran them as hard as I can run," Jacobs said. "I feel good. I feel good about my explosion."
The 49ers signed Jacobs during the offseason. He has been inactive the first four games.
Jacobs said it has been difficult watching his teammates play from the sideline and that he's ready to join the party.
"This is what I do," Jacobs said. "I play ball for my career. This is my livelihood, and me sitting on the sideline, watching my team win and play well, especially being part of a new organization and a new team, I want to get out there and really be a part of it."
The next step for Jacobs is to take part in practice Wednesday. He is eager to show what he can do.
"I want to get hit," Jacobs said. "I definitely want to get out and get hit because once you get out and get that first nice hit, you feel like you're ready to go."
Jacobs missed only 12 games during his seven-year run with the New York Giants from 2005-11.

CARSON -- An hour after their loss in the Division III state football championship game, Sacred Heart Prep players slowly emerged from their locker room at the StubHub Center on Saturday.
Time to reflect on the journey could wait.
The pain of coming so close to a state championship, only to fall short, was too fresh.
"There aren't words to describe how much this meant to me," star linebacker/running back Ben Burr-Kirven said after the Gators' 27-15 loss to Corona del Mar. "This is going to be in my mind forever. I will never forget this as long as I live. They will always be flashing through my head, what happened in this game."
What happened Saturday was not how Sacred Heart Prep drew it up, from the 21-point first-quarter deficit to the three second-half fumbles.
The Gators crept to within six points at halftime on Andrew Robinson's 37-yard interception return for a touchdown and Burr-Kirven's highlight-reel 47-yard run in which the junior evaded several defenders before coasting into the end zone.
But Sacred Heart Prep fumbled on its first series of the second half, which led to a short field goal, then continued to give away the ball as it threatened to pull closer.
The crusher came after senior Andrew Segre, the team's leading rusher this season, reinjured a shoulder that had bothered him all season.
After being checked out by the training staff, Segre re-entered for a second-and-4 play at the Corona del Mar 15. As he received the handoff, the shoulder popped back out of the socket and the ball tumbled to the grass.
Corona del Mar recovered.
"That was really frustrating," said Segre, who finished with 54 yards in 16 carries.
But coach Pete Lavorato applauded the gritty effort from the running back who ran for 351 yards and scored six touchdowns in a Central Coast Section final two weeks earlier against Pacific Grove.
"What a warrior he is, playing like that all year," Lavorato said.
Sacred Heart Prep played a nearly flawless game to reach the state final, routing heavily favored El Cerrito 42-7 in the Northern California Division III championship game.
But the Gators were far from perfect against an opponent seeking to complete a perfect season.
Corona del Mar (16-0) received the opening kickoff and went 75 yards in 11 plays for the first score. The Sea Kings converted three third-down plays on the drive, including a 5-yard pass from Luke Napolitano to Bo St. Geme for the touchdown.
Sacred Heart Prep then went three-and-out, and a bad snap on the punt gave Corona del Mar the ball just 29 yards from the end zone. Napolitano's 5-yard pass to Connor Sage made it 14-0.
After Sacred Heart Prep (13-2) crossed midfield for the first time, Corona del Mar's Barrett Barbato returned an interception 58 yards for a touchdown that stretched the Sea Kings' lead to 21-0 with 11 seconds left in the first quarter.
"That's always difficult," Lavorato said of the huge early deficit. "But we didn't give up, and we kept coming back."
One play after Sacred Heart Prep dropped an interception that probably would have gone for a score, Robinson snagged a pass that deflected off the intended receiver, and he dashed 37 yards for a touchdown.
Sacred Heart Prep got the two-point conversion as Burr-Kirven barreled into the end zone to make it 21-8.
Later in the quarter, Burr-Kirven, who had 16 tackles and 77 rushing yards, showed why Lavorato calls him the best high school football player he has coached or seen.
From the Corona del Mar 47, he wove through the defense before breaking free to pull the Gators to within 21-15.
But they would get no closer.
When it ended, Lavorato gathered his players in the end zone and left them a message.
"They are a good football team, there is no doubt about it," Lavorato said of Corona del Mar. "They deserved to win this game. However, you guys played exceptionally. I know I and the rest of the coaches are tremendously proud of what you have done this year and what you did today.
"But sometimes it doesn't always go your way in life."

DENVER -- After the Warriors' 116-105 loss Sunday night, backup guard Jarrett Jack sat at his locker with his head buried in his hands. Even when answering questions, he refused to look up.
"I feel more personally responsible than anybody," Jack said. "I know everybody is going to say it's a team situation or you can't point to one or two plays. But I do."
Jack had a starring role in a noteworthy collapse Sunday. The Warriors entered the fourth quarter leading by eight points after a surge to close the third quarter. Fast forward to the 1:59 mark of the fourth quarter, and Warriors coach Mark Jackson was waving the white flag.
In between was a snowball of ugliness. By the time Jackson emptied his bench -- a 10-minute span -- the Warriors had turned the ball over six times, leading to 12 points for Denver. They had missed 9 of 15 shots, 11 of those attempts being jump shots, and were outscored 37-16.
The Nuggets turned up the defensive pressure, and the Warriors folded. It was quick and ugly.
"It's just a tough way to lose," Warriors point guard Stephen Curry said after posting a game-high 29 points to go with seven assists. "First five minutes, we gave up 18 points. You're not going to win many games doing that."
Golden State (23-13), which has two days off before playing host to Miami, has lost three of its last four games.
The Warriors are now 10-11 against Western Conference teams and sit just 11/2 games ahead of Denver for the No. 5 spot in the West. Golden State finished the season 1-3 against Denver (23-16), which means the Nuggets own the tiebreaker if the teams finish tied.
"This is a game we should have won," said forward David Lee, who finished with 23 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. "Turnovers killed us."
The Warriors have had a problem maintaining leads this season, but usually they pull it out. That pattern didn't continue at Denver.
Golden State took control of the game with a surge to end the third quarter. The game was tied at 75 with 3:34 left in the quarter. Curry got it started with a pull-up jumper and, after a defensive stop, rookie Harrison Barnes converted a fast-break dunk to put the Warriors ahead by four.
Three more stops led to six more points, all produced by Jack. He hit a pull-up jumper and two free throws and set up a Carl Landry jumper. Just like that, the Warriors were up 85-75. They led by eight entering the fourth quarter.
"We were feeling good," Jackson said. "We were taking care of the basketball, getting quality looks on the offensive end. We knew what we had to do going into the fourth. We gave them life, and they capitalized on it."
Golden State began turning the ball over, settling for jumpers on offense, losing focus on defense and getting lazy on the boards. The result was a sudden and convincing shift from a possible good road win to a loss.
Guard Klay Thompson started the fourth quarter with a bad pass, leading to an Andre Miller layup. Moments later, Jack turned it over on back-to-back possessions, the latter leading to a Miller layup that cut the Warriors' lead to one with 9:28 left.
Before you knew it, Denver's run was up to 19-2 with more than seven minutes to play.
Curry found Lee for a jumper to stop the run. Then Curry hit back-to-back 3-pointers to cut Golden State's deficit to 100-97 with 6:10 left. It looked as if the Warriors had gotten their bearings.
But the Nuggets responded with another run to finish the knockout.
Corey Brewer, who with Miller and Andre Iguodala, spearheaded the Nuggets' pressure defense, answered Curry's 3-pointer with one of his own. After Curry's driving layup didn't fall, Denver's Danilo Gallinari dunked home a putback.
The Warriors turned it over again with an offensive foul, and Gallinari put the Nuggets up 108-97 after nailing a wide-open 3-pointer. Denver's Kenneth Faried finished the Warriors off by turning a turnover into an emphatic dunk.
"We had our opportunities," Jack said. "We felt we had this game in hand. We should've been able to walk out of here with a victory."
He got up and limped to the other end. Golden State called a timeout, and Curry was looked at by the trainer. He returned to the game without issue. After the game, his right knee was covered in ice.
"I just had to keep moving to keep it from getting stiff," he said. "It shouldn't be a problem."

I will be coaching some high school basketball players soon at a talent showcase event. ESPN and Slam Magazine will be represented there. Do you guys know any tips, tricks, and advice I could give to nervous players?
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
- Kevin Durant
you could say positive things to motivate the players like''these guys are no were near as good as you''.
Do pregame routines that help you relax.
Keep the mood up. I know from experience as a player, when my coach kept the mood up and high, it relaxed me and my teammates more. This is because we felt like he believed in us. Also, do plenty of warm-ups (not too many) so that the players feel comfortable, prepared and ready for the game. Lastly, suggest a pre-game routine for them like listening to music they like to get them in the mood. Hope this helped!
"Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better, and your better is best." ~Tim Duncan
* "Dare to be great." *
"Hard work, a positive attitude, confidence, and a smile are the keys to success."
Basketball is life....#14
I find that putting it all in perspective helps a lot. What I mean by that is, each and every player on the team has more to offer the world than what he does on the court for 2 hours. The only reason this showcase is such a big deal is because we MAKE it a big deal. Life continues and goes on after the dust settles, so go and have fun.

Your bread does look perfect. The shape has almost an S-shape. I think that stands for sexy. So I think it's alright for your husband to take it to a movie and then dinner. In fact in should take along a nice gourmet butter, then they can have a three-some.

muCommander is a lightweight, cross-platform file manager featuring a Norton Commander style interface and running on any operating system with Java support (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux...). Some key features are: Virtual filesystem with FTP, SFTP, SMB and HTTP/HTTPS support; quickly copy, move, rename files, create directories, email files; browse, create and uncompress ZIP, TAR and GZip archives; universal bookmarks.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: file , manager , ftp , finder , commander , management , filemanagement
8 Opinions
muCommander tormented me for the long time its slow Java, nonresponsive, ugly and buggy UI.
So I decided to create real OS X, native file manager, especially for users coming from Windows: FastCommander.
However, I wish you could add files to the transfer queue... Currently if you want to copy/move other files, you have to babysit the transfer, and wait for it to finish. :(
Useful for big file transfers: shows current speed (MB/s), file and total remaining time, can pause transfer, limit speed.
Long time user (still am) of Total Commander.
I've tried a myriad of other versions for Mac, and µCommander comes the closest.
In response to "jitf, 2008-01-16" :
µCommander does had a very good multi-rename built in. For my purposes it it nearly just as good as Total Cmdr's.
I'm a big fan of dual-pane file managers, and for many years used FreeCommander on XP. I tried various things out when I moved to the Mac, and muCommander is without doubt the best I've found so far!
If you are used to using programs such as Total Commander, Midnight Commander, Krusader, etc. you will definitely want this program on your Mac - it may lack just a few of the "extras" of some of those other programs (e.g. the built-in multi-file batch renamer of Total Commander) but there is other free Mac software that will perform such functions, and muCommander contains everything you really need in this type of program. Minor nit: I do wish they'd come up with a nicer icon - the one they have in this version would be more at home on an Apple II or Commodore 64 (of course that is easy enough to replace with an icon of your choosing).
Feature wish: automatically calculate folder sizes (like total commander), to be able to browse folders while having them sorted by sizes.
muCommander is a good and promising app! :)
Very simple and straight forward, gets the job done. I use it for ftp and browsing hidden folders on my hdd.

OK, this time it's for real. If you're wondering "hey, didn't Ewing Athletics already re-launch?," it's probably because you live in the New York/New Jersey area, where the brand did re-launch on a small scale early this month. The for-real, nationwide launch happens this Saturday at these 33 stores, again with the initial two colorways (red suede and white leather), with blue suede and black leather to follow. We spoke to David Goldberg—an avid Ewing collector who has been working closely with Patrick himself on the re-launch—and David Falk, legendary superagent who has worked with Patrick for more than a quarter-century, and essentially invented the concept of the signature line in basketball. In addition, David Goldberg was kind enough to bring by a portion of his OG collection as well as the retros to show how close the retros are to the originals. Go ahead and click through all the photos first, then see what the Davids had to say.

Britain's Victorian "Doomsday Book" released online by Familyrelatives.com
The first ever complete collection of fully searchable Landowner returns is published online for England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
A record of who owned land in Britain and Ireland was created over a hundred years ago by the Victorians as a response to the great outcry about what was described as the monopoly of land. The wildest and most reckless exaggerations and mis-statements of fact were uttered about the number of individuals who were actual owners of the soil.
In the House of Lords it had been said that according to the Census of 1861 in the United Kingdom, there were no more than 30,000 landowners and although this estimate arose from a misreading of the figures, its accuracy had never been disputed, the true status was a matter of conjecture but it was believed to have been nearer 300,000 landowners.
In these circumstances a comprehensive "Return" was called for and termed the "Doomsday Book". It was published in 1873 almost a thousand years after William the Conqueror commissioned the original Domesday Book in 1086.
These fascinating Returns provide the name and address of every Owner and their holding in acres, rods and poles, with the estimated yearly rental valuation of all holdings over 1 acre. Interestingly lease holders at the commencement of their term were considered as owners also, however those at the end of their term were not so considered.
As a result over 320,000 landowners of one acre or more can be searched online representing 1% of the entire population of the United Kingdom. The number of owners with less than one acre was nearly 850,000. London the "Great Metropolis" was excluded from the Returns as was waste land if it yielded no profit.
Among the landowning aristocracy were the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry who owned 432,373 acres in the Scottish Highlands and the Duke of Norfolk with 44,638 acres mostly around Arundel Castle in Sussex. The Prince of Wales' estate at Sandringham is listed with 6,724 acres, as are Charles Dickens and Alfred Tennyson with more modest holdings.
The Victorians with their conviction for detail and orderliness even counted asylums, hospitals, colleges, school trustees, railway companies, navigation companies, sewer commissioners, War department, water works and river commissioners as a vital part of their record keeping.
Kate Williams wil be speaking at the forthcoming conference on Young Victoria, the first Royal Rebel as well as John Hanson who will be discussing the census, two related subjects to the Domesday project. There will also be speakers on medieval genealogy including well known historian Nick Barratt.
At just £369 including accommodation, meals and refreshments for a four day conference there has never been a better time (or better price) to attend a genealogy conference that is supported by many sponsors including Hague-Lambert Solicitors and the Society of Genealogists.

I have a low resting heart rate, but when I run (which is 5-6 times a week) my heart rate exceeds the limits on my Polar heart rate monitor. I can't seem to run slow enough to stay within the limits (143-159 or so) for more than 30% or my run. What's going on?
What is your resting heart rate (RHR)? how and when do you measure it?
Thanks for replying to me. I have measured it by checking my pulse for 10 seconds and then multiplying by 6 and came up with HR 60. This is when I am sitting down. My Polar HRM will measure it a few clicks higher when I am walking around in the morning prior to my run.
How do you feel when exercising? do you feel like you are working out too hard? I personally do not monitor my HR I go by how I feel.
basically like this:
Can I talk easily? speak complete sentences? - If yes, i am going too easy.
Can I talk in short bursts (a few words a a time) - In zone
Hardly talk - too hard - only keep up for short times while doing speedwork
Thanks for Benson's chart. I feel like it is way too easy. I could run at the pace forever (and my HR is still "out of zone").
Are you using a treadmill?? Before I got a HRM I was only able to run 8-15minutes, but I was running at an 8min/mil pace. I couldnt imagine going much slower than I was, I felt like it would be useless, like i was not even working out.
I stuck with it though, and with the help of a treadmill keeping me at that target pace and HR, you become much more comfortable running at slow speeds. First time I tried longer range running with my HRM I doubled my 'comfortable' running distance. I was once running a mile, at an 8min pace, now I run 2.5miles at a 10min pace.
So from my experience (everyones diff obviously), just stick with it, the speeds may seem awkward at first if your used to running faster, but you will burn way more calories and feel a whole lot better if you can just set that treadmill and forget about it.
Brett, I have a similar problem, except that my HR is almost ALWAYS too high whether I'm resting or exercising (I take medication to slow it down). The various HR calculator are therefore of limited value to me since I'm usually over the "limits." I agree with run4fun and I just go by how I feel. I do wear a HRM but that's more for keeping an eye on my HR to make sure it doesn't get TOO high. I once participated in a pretty vigorous workout and my HR got up to 203. That was a little too scary for me, so now I keep a better eye on it.
run4fun, I also thank you for the Benson chart. It will come in very handy.
just my 2 cents. I am new to endurance racing and had never monitored my hr before. However, I was scared to death when I realized it stayed between 175-195 bpm during almost all of my runs and bikes. My brother is a cardiologist and I called him in a panic. I am not suggesting this advice is for everyone - but his advise was do not worry about it if you are breathing ok and having no pain or discomfort. He even laughed and said he gets this question alot. I only monitor my rate now to not overexert at the start of my runs. If I stayed at 70% of my max HR I would walk all of my triathalons.
I find that going by "Perceived Exertion" works pretty well for me. I do use a Polar Heart Rate Monitor when I train, but not all the time. When I do use my heart rate monitor I end up following it too closely, and that can be a distraction to actaully having a good work out. Lately my heart rate has been higher than I'd like, so I just go by how i feel. If I feel good and I know my HR is a litle higher than it should be, I just keep going and not worry about it.
I love RPE, especially for fit or experienced runners. You may get better results because it makes you more present during your workouts. Another great thing is the workout log. Log your speed, distance, intensity (RPE and Hr), and how it felt to you. Journals will help you to truly see what kinds of things you are doing to your body and why, which will help you weed out any problems. Good Luck!

For the past year, Will Magid has regularly ruled the dance floor at Café Du Nord, turning the venerable venue into San Francisco's most cosmopolitan nightspot.
Now the Palo Alto-raised trumpeter is introducing his World Wide Dance Party to his old stomping grounds with his first South Bay foray, headlining an interlaced triple bill Friday at Club Fox in Redwood City featuring the Will Magid Trio, the great Nigerian bassist Babá Ken Okulolo and the roots reggae combo Rafa.
Magid's trio, his primary musical vehicle, features keyboardist Kevin Wong, a compatriot since their days in the Gunn High School jazz band, and Afrolicious drummer Paul Oliphant. With Magid adding an array of samplers, loops and vocals to his trumpet work and Wong playing left-hand bass on organ and right-hand melodic lines on Moog, the trio delivers the punch of a band twice its size.
"The trio is an exploration into blurring the elements between live and electronic dance music," says Magid, 26, who notes that the evening is sponsored by Amnesty International USA to raise awareness about protecting children from the global arms trade. "We'll play with some dance tracks, and sometimes we'll play acoustic, and sometimes we'll toggle between the two and play with the textures."
More impressive than the size of its sound is the breadth of the trio's aesthetic vision, which encompasses Afro-Cuban grooves, Balkan brass flurries, jazz improvisation, and Afrobeat blasts, mixed liberally with electronica textures. Magid's music reflects his global array of influences and his training as an ethnomusicologist at UCLA.
"I've always been looking to connect different dots, and UCLA was very effective at focusing on connections between West African music and blues, rock and jazz," Magid says. "These currents are so deep, it gives you so much freedom to explore."
Magid traces his fascination with connectivity to a childhood immersed in cutting-edge technology. The son of noted high-tech journalist Larry Magid, he grew up surrounded by innovators and their gear.
"There were always different technologies in our house," he recalls. "I was a total gamer, and I was always testing different gadgets and electronics and games my dad brought home. The music was often really interesting, and I paid attention to how you could get a sense of telling a story with music and sound."
He started playing trumpet in fifth grade at Palo Verde Elementary School, and his interest in the horn really took off when a cousin bought him a copy of the epochal Miles Davis album "Kind of Blue." By high school, his passion for jazz had expanded to funk and ska, while Mark Farina's "Mushroom Jazz" compilations opened his ears to acid jazz's blend of new-school beats and old-school boogaloo.
Heading off to UCLA in 2004, Magid followed his passion for music to Ghana, where he spent six months soaking up information. He even toured with the Ramblers International Dance Band, a pioneering high-life ensemble from the 1960s that was still led by founder Jerry Hansen.
He credits Babá Ken Okulolo with opening doors to the West African scene. They connected through Okulolo's son, who also was studying ethnomusicology at UCLA.
A versatile master who has collaborated with Nigerian giants such as Afrobeat patriarch Fela Anikulapo Kuti, highlife star King Sunny Ade, seminal drummer Tony Allen and the influential Afro-rock group Monomono, Okulolo has been a force on the Bay Area scene since settling in the East Bay in 1985. He saw a kindred spirit in Magid and has played a central role in making the World Wide Dance Party such a success.
"He's very open minded, and that drive has taken him to countries where his interests run deep," Okulolo says of Magid. "Very few musicians of his age group are interested in really going to the roots. If you listen to his stuff, you can identify where he's coming from and where he's going.
"That's my kind of person, who I am as well. I like to approach music from all different angles."
After graduating from UCLA, Magid spent time leading a 15-piece Afrobeat band in Southern California, an endeavor that quickly sapped his limited funds. Hitting the road as a keyboardist with the Boston indie rock band Mount Auburn, Magid ended up moving to San Francisco, drawn to the city's burgeoning dance music scene.
Magid continues to make new connections. On March 21, his trio opens for the great New Orleans trumpeter Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ Swingers at Oakland's New Parish. And he recently launched TuneAtlas with Adam Bernstein, an interactive website designed to introduce children to music from around the world. Magid's doing pretty much the same thing at his World Wide Dance Party, though the events are geared more for adults than kids.
"In the course of a night, I might sample a song by Cab Calloway or Boban Markovic from Serbia, a Dave Guetta drum beat or a tune by Mulatu Astatke from Ethiopia," Magid says. "One thing I picked up early from electronic dance music is that when you have people dancing, and there's a vibe that makes them feel good and sexy, their bodies and minds are open."

December 07, 2012
Business groups and financial firms have been responding to the announcements made by Chancellor George Osborne on Wednesday in his Autumn Statement.
In what was widely seen as a mini-budget, the Statement was dominated by sobering news about the UK's slow recovery. However, some of Osborne's announcements took business commentators by surprise and many were welcomed – including the increase in the annual investment allowance and the scrapping of the fuel tax increase.
Phil Orford of the Forum of Private Business (FPB) described it as "a good budget for small businesses" and Graeme Leach, chief economist at the Institute of Directors dubbed it "a tricky job, well done".
On the increase in the annual investment allowance
Ruby Parmar, head of private business, PwC: "Perhaps the key positive for small businesses … this should support growth and encourage capital investment."
Paul Belsman, national head of tax, RSM Tenon: "Good news for SMEs and [it] should mean that most of their capital expenditure gets 100% relief. It is a clear sign that Government is supporting businesses investing in their businesses."
Phil Orford, chief executive, FPB: "There are big savings to be had here for firms who've been waiting for the right time to invest and upgrade equipment."
Matt Taylor, managing partner, Rockpool Investments: "The tenfold increase in the investment allowance equates to a £40,000 grant to any business that wants to grow by investing in new equipment."
On cancelling the planned increase in fuel duty
Phil Orford, FPB: "We had urged the Treasury to commit to the concept of a fuel duty stabiliser by the end of the current Parliament, so what we have here is temporary relief instead of a serious policy change with real lasting benefits."
John Walker, national chairman, Federation of Small Businesses (FSB): "We note small firms will face an increase in fuel duty in September 2013. Government needs to take the politics out of fuel prices once and for all and look at ways of raising revenue that gives road users greater certainty as to what their overheads will be from one Budget to the next."
On the reduction in Corporation Tax
Richard Baron, head of taxation, Institute of Directors (IoD): "The surprise reduction in Corporation Tax is a very welcome boost to the UK's competitiveness at a critical time. Reducing the tax burden for all businesses is the most straightforward way to help them expand and take on more staff."
On the economic forecast
Graeme Leach, chief economist, IoD: "Our key concern is that the OBR's growth forecasts will yet again prove too optimistic."
On the extension to the rate relief scheme
Richard Baron, head of taxation, IoD: "350,000 businesses will now not pay any business rates until 2014, a very helpful move when budgets are tight."
On tackling tax avoidance
Phil Orford, FPB: "Tackling tax avoidance is of course a sensible measure. HMRC have in the past focused too much on the SME end of the spectrum, so we see this as a healthy rebalance."
Could do better?
Nigel Stanford, partner at law firm Cripps Harries Hall: "Many SMEs would have been looking for something more radical to give them a boost – for example, a holiday from business rates."
Gary Wilkinson, CEO at Cambridge & Counties Bank: "While the Funding for Lending scheme, the new British Business Bank and today's announcement of a cut in corporation tax show that the Government is being proactive in the SME space, there needs to be better co-ordination of such initiatives."
John Walker, FSB: "We are disappointed that the Chancellor has not extended the current regional National Insurance Contributions holiday to all small firms across the UK. Our research shows that if it were extended to all UK-wide micro firms it would create 45,000 jobs and add £1.3 billion to UK GDP. We hope this is something the Chancellor looks at for Budget 2013."
