Hi everyone this is Nicki with DesignLike a Pro and in this episode I'm going to show you how to design a program nowthis is basically a multi-page booklet that we're going to design and it's areally popular type of project to be working on an InDesign because it coversso many different industries from dance recitals to church bulletins or programsbasically any type of event or situation where you need to design multiple pageswithin a booklet this is for you now this tutorial is a beginner tutorialthere's a few advanced techniques in here but if you are just starting outwith InDesign this is a perfect tutorial for you because we are gonna go overimporting photos editing and placing text working with character styles andtabs that are really ideal for this type of a program and then also we're goingto save out this program in two different formats which I do have veryspecific tutorials here on design like a pro that I will link for you below butthis is going to go through both options regardless of whether you have a PC or aMac so you should be covered if you're going to be printing professionally orif you're gonna print in-house which let's face it when we're test asdesigners to do recital booklets for example in programs we really don't havea lot of time and we may be making something very simple that we are goingto print in-house so this is going to cover all of those scenarios for you solet's go ahead and dive in I am using the latest version of InDesign but asalways my tutorials here are really friendly to any version that you mayhave available so let's go ahead and fire up and design and get started okayso what we have here is the starting screen that we are going to work withand we're going to create our document size so I'm working with inches you guysthe latest versions of InDesign really make this easy to switch between unitshere so that you can pick what works for you and we are going to create a fiveand a half by eight-and-a-half booklet this is basically half of a letter sizewhich is ideal for many booklets this allows you to print this in-houseyou have a copy machine that's gonna do double-sided printing for you this isgonna allow you to do that on just a regular sheet of paper which is aperfect situation so we're gonna change this to five and a half by eight and ahalf and you can see below here we can see that effect taking so we can seeexactly what the page size is gonna be so there's a few more settings that weare going to leave checked here facing pages because this is a booklet we aregoing to leave facing pages checked if you don't nothing really horrible isgoing to happen but this is just going to flow more like a booklet if we keepthese checked instead of having the pages stacked individually if you knowhow many pages you're going to have you can definitely add that amount here justkeep in mind that in order to have a complete booklet you do have to have theright amount of pages and as I've stated in previous lessons regarding multiplepage booklets an easy standard to go by is something that is divisible by 4because booklets are going to at minimum be four pages to front to back right soas long as you're increasing your page count by four you should be good to goand have a complete booklet meaning that you're not going to have any blank pagesthat you have to deal with so our booklet is just going to be a basic fourpages in this case it's going to be a front and a back you can mark here ifyou want your page to start on a number other than one but in this case we dowant to just start with one and the only other thing that we are gonna add hereis a bleed even if you're printing in-house it's a really good habit tojust automatically apply a bleed here because then you're really thinkingabout items that may go off the page if you're gonna print in house and you'renot dealing with a bleed you don't need this extra feature but like I said I'min the habit of doing this because you just never know and it's a lot easier tohave this from the beginning than to have to go back and add it so these areall of the settings we're going to go ahead and create this and you can seehere that we have our four pages and then it is going to create a completebooklet ie our front and back and then the inside pages if we wanted to addmore we could but like I said you have to add at leastfour pages to make it a complete book so four is the minimum but we could haveeight pages then we need to go up to twelve pages and so on so just keep inmind that if you want to have a complete book you have to go up at least four weare just going to stick to four pages here for the ease of this tutorial solet's go ahead and get started I like to work from the cover down if I have allof the content with me I am very familiar though with having to wait forcontent and not always having everything you need right when you need it so ifthat's the case design for what you have but we're just gonna start with thecover first so I've created a scenario that's very common in the design worldwhere you're given limited information but you just need to work with what youhave so I have three images that I'm going to use here and need to place themstrategically and I have decided to use this because we do have a dance recitalso we're going to use this photo for the cover but we just want to createsomething really neat for the cover you could just drop this photo in here andit's done but I'm just gonna show you a quick little technique to make this alittle bit nicer and this is definitely gonna work very nicely if you're goingto have this professionally printed but it is also friendly to print in-house ifyou need to so I'm dropping this photo in and then I'm going to hold down ctrlor command shift to scale this all the way down so it fills the frame now wordof note here you need to have a high-resolution image meaning that thisis at least 300 out of your camera so that it fills this nicely and it's notpixelated so just make sure that you're not using a web resolution photo thatyou are using a print resolution photo good rule of thumb is anything that's atleast 5 inches by 7 inches is a good place to start you can scale that up anddown pretty nicely without losing any quality for print so now we have thatfilling our page here I'm not going to worry about this going all the way downand you'll see why in a second because I want to place some things on top of hereI want to add a gradient fade to white which is gonnabe really friendly for printing this in-house if we want to but it's justgonna create a neat effect as well I'm gonna move this up just a little bit togive even more white space down here and this is a fun technique so just rightclicking on the photo going to effects and then gradient feather is going tocreate this really cool effect so here is my dialogue box I'm making sure thatpreview is checked so I can see what I'm doing and I want this to start from thebottom and work up now you can see that a couple of things I'm getting someweird lines here this is just an effect of InDesign previewing this for me thisis not going to print like this and you'll see that in the final PDF that itis not going to print like this so I'm seeing this you actually may not seethis it is just an error in the way that it's previewing but we also don't wantthis white to be all the way up here I kind of want to keep it right around thebottom of the ballet shoe and in order to do that we can adjust how thisgradient flows by moving these sliders up here so this kind of cuts it a littlebit shorter the idea is that we don't see a harsh line so I can move the blackup a little bit I can move this a little bit closer to it to get a little morewhite you can even scale this in a little bit to get a little more white sothe idea is just to find a nice compromise without getting too harsh ofa white line and so you can adjust this based on your photo to accomplish thatand when you get something that you like go ahead and hit OK and if you want topreview what you're doing really quick just hit W and I can see now that Idon't have a harsh line there and it's gonna look really nicely when we laysomething on top of it if you want to see this in a high quality just go aheadand change that to high quality it helps a little bit it gets rid of thepixelation of the photo and I can now see it in a in a higher quality and youcan see that those lines are changing as I move around here so those again arenot going to print it's just an error in the way that this is displaying so thenext step is to add some content on top if this is a programtypically it's probably going to be the name of the program or event right solet's go ahead and drop some text in here I'm just going to start typing 2018and it's gonna be a spring recital and it's for a dance school all right nowwe've dropped in some text let's go ahead and style that I want to Centeralign it and I want to do some different fonts here so let's find something herewant something scripty really soft it's a ballet right so we want something alittle bit more soft not too edgy or modern and we're going to bring this upquite a bit and you can see that the air is coming into the 2018 so I'm going toincrease the spacing between that and then bringing dance school down as welland I want to make dance school a nice clean sans-serif and then I'm going tomake it all caps as well bump up the size a little bit and one tip I havewhenever you're making anything all caps it's much easier to read when you addsome decent space between your letters so I would always advise a minimum of 50spacing here between your tracking so I'm up a little bit more because I likeit to be even more space between there but it is a really nice way to go and itmakes it again it makes it a lot easier to read okay so now we have somethinglike this I can go ahead now and move on but I'm gonna take it to the next leveland just add a little bit of color here and a box to separate it from thebackground again you can just leave it just as it is but why not go anotherstep so I'm gonna come over here and grab my rectangle tool and just dry itout and let's go ahead and fill that with a grey colorI'm gonna create a new swatch because we do not have a grey color and I want itto be about 80% on the black so we're going to add it and you can see now thatI have that swatch to use in the future problem is it's covering up myso I need to right click arrange and we're gonna send backward one and thenthat allows me to see my text and then I'm going to hold down shift and clickthe text box so the rectangle and the text box is selected come over here andI just want to make sure that everything is Center aligned with my text box andthe black is a little bit hard to read on that dark grey so I'm going to selectthe text box come over here and hit the T and that's going to change it to thefont color instead of a fill color so we're gonna change it to a differentcolor here and let's go with white and now you can see that that contrast is alot nicer okay and then there's only one other thing we're gonna do and we'regonna add some color to this box by creating a stroke around it so let'scome up here to stroke and create a nice size about five and we want that to be adashed line and then I'm gonna come back over here to swatches select the strokeit'll bring it to the front and I want to add a nice pink color one tip I haveis always to pull colors from the images that you're using it's a great way totie your color palettes together and it gives you some color ideas if you'recompletely stuck on what to do so we are going to create a nice pink color andyou can do this just by dragging around here and finding something that issimilar you can also use the eyedropper tool over here if you would like but Iwant I don't want as light of pink as the ballet shoe I just want somethingthat is close to it all right we'll try something like that and now you can seethat we have a nice pink stroke and it looks like it goes with this photo sothat just dressed things up a little bit for you and now it's time to move on toour interior pages so I'm going to zoom out here so you can see we now have aleft and a right page so typically what is good on these pages is it's going tobe the program itself we're confine this to two pages just to showyou some examples of formatting text for a program but you can continue thisprogram as many pages as you need to so my trick is always to work from the backforward meaning I place images first which is then going to allow me tounderstand where I can place text so it's time for our next ballet image andwe've got this cute little image of these girls so we're going to place thisnow here's a tip for you again I'm gonna hold down command or control shift tosize this if you are going to print this in-house I would strongly advise thatyou keep all of your content within these pink margins just to ensure thatwhen you print you don't have an issue with things being really close to theedge and then you'll have a nice border around everything that's uniform acrossall of your pages so the same would be true for this cover image you may wantto bring this guy in to this margin line and that way if you were to print thisin house you're not gonna have issues you're gonna have this white border herebut again it's gonna look nice and even for all situations if you're going tohave this professionally printed then definitely maximize bleeds because itlooks nicer to go all the way across but that's one very quick way to accommodatewhether you're going to be printing in-house or not so in this case we arejust going to take it all the way to the edge because we are not going to beprinting this in-house so I'm going to position this though so that these girlsare a little bit up so that I have some space down here basically moving that upso we're just kind of chopping them off a little bit but I will say when itcomes to dance photos you always want to show the feet if anything so it is a petpeeve of mine when people cut the feet off of dancers okay so this gives us alittle bit of space down here and down here we are going to put essentially thenames of our dancers that's that's a good place for this before we do thatthough I'm going to dress this up a little bit by grabbing the linetool I'm just gonna hold down shift and drag this to the end come over here backto stroke and add a nice thick pink line to this something like that and the pinkis already selected from what we were previously doing on the cover if it'snot you can go ahead and select that and that just gives us a little dressy linethat kind of breaks up our photo from our text so now we're going to add inthe names of our students and I just have some filler text here you wouldobviously use content that you have but I am playing this off like we have aname of a character that maybe our dancer is performing and then theiractual name so in this case I'm just writing this out and then I am going toadd a tab one tab here and then we're going to style the tab so if you'venever played with tabs this is a great opportunity to learn how to do them andin this case it's a programs or great use of tabs and tabs basically in theway that we're using this is to have those dots that go all the way acrossseparating two items of content and then you would continue that down the list soit's really great for names in this situation so we're going to come up hereto type tabs and a little box pops up that allows us to style this so wealready have our tab placed so we can see this in action as we're doing itwhich is really helpful we want a right justified tab meaning that it's going toend on the right side of our text box and then we want a period here or a dotas the leader so this is what's going to be duplicated across the entire spacefor our tabs and if I drag out here you can see now that I am placing where Iwant this tab to end and right now I want something like that and if theperiod disappeared just go ahead and put it back and hit enter and now you cansee we have our tab filled in with dots and this will basically continue for aslong as you want it to once you've styled it in my case I am just going toduplicate this down so that we essentially havewhat we want here but you would be typing in the names as you have them butagain this is a really great way to create a justified and even namingsequence for our program so when you're done there I'm going to zoom in herebecause now we're going to do a few things we're gonna style this a littlecleaner notice that I have this a little bit outside of the margin so I'm justgoing to Center that up a little bit better that way we're not too close tothe edge so from here I want to style this first and last so that there's avisual difference between the two things so we've got our character name and ourfirst and last name I want the first and last name to be stat a little differentfirst of all I would like it to be all caps and I am going to change the entirefont here too so let's say Adobe Castellon Pro all right now I'm stylingthis right here because I want to show you a really quick way to stylesomething and then use it again and again and again for similar items so inthis case we want this to be all caps and we're gonna add about eightytracking and we want this to be bold so you can see that that helps that area ofcontent stand out from the other area of content but I want to apply it toeverything below and in this case we're going to highlight this and come overhere to character Styles if you do not see character Styles it's available inStyles character Styles under the window tab and so from here we click the littlehamburger drop-down and create a new character style and the dialog box comesup and let's give it a name let's call it dancer name for reference and you cansee that the styles are being captured here the way that we styled it and if wego ahead and hit OK we now have a character style saved based on this textright here so now if I select all the other ones I can quickly style all of myother names to match making sure that I'm just selecting thetexts that I would like to be styled in this manner okay so you now quickly Ihave been able to style all of this different than the character name overhere and if you find that you want to make further changes a beautiful thingabout character Styles is that if you double click and come back into ourbasic character format we can do some other things here we can say that maybewe want it to be italicized and you can see that any case that's been appliedthe character style and our first one wasn't so we need to go back and fixthat but anytime that we've used that character style it's going toautomatically change for us so it changes all cases of that characterstyle which is a really awesome thing and saves so much time so let's go backand make sure that our example our first example is also labeled dancer name thatway it's good to go the only other thing I'm gonna do here is just add a littlebit more spacing to fill it out you would accommodate this based on how manynames you have here but that just fills out our naming a little bit better sonow we've got something like this okay so in that way you learned how to how touse tabs and then how to maximize using character styles to save a lot of timeand effort when styling a lot of the same text on this next page in programland it's very useful to use this page as your actual program right so in thiscase I have again some examples to save us some timeso I'm going to just copy that over here in the case that I just copied this overa lot of times you may be getting information from another resource whichit may be in a Word document so you can just copy that text over here and ctrlor command C and then ctrl or command V will paste it as a text box so if you'regetting it from an email whatever you may be getting this text from if you'renot typing out yourself that is how you bring it over again I'm gonna Centeralign this and now this is ready to styleand we're going to use different sizes and different fonts to get this stylethat we want this is a really good tip because a lot of times you just get textlike this it's fine but there's no visual hierarchy here so in this case wewould like to have some visual hierarchy so doing so via different fonts and alsodifferent sizes is the way to do that now keep in mind when I say differentfonts I do not mean going crazy with your fonts I still like to keep my fontchoices to three or less but it's how you use them that makes it stand out sofor example the title act 1 let's give that a nice script font and we're gonnamake this a lot larger so that we can read it ok so that softens it up it goeswith our ballet dance theme that we already have going on for the rest ofour text I'm going to keep in line with the same font that we used over here forour names so that was Adobe Castle on pro I'm gonna set that and then tofurther enhance this I'm just going to italicize the song name so again you cancreate a character style out of this if you would like to to quickly change thesong name going forward so that it's italicized so I have that and so let'sgo over here and just quickly create a song named character style and do thesame thing for our axe because we're going to have more than one come throughhere and then this is going to be our act title basically and ok so now wehave our act styled and essentially what this is is the dancers over here wouldbe listed under the song name when you actually had content so we are going tomove all of this up slightly just to maximize our space and we have two moreacts that we need to fit in here I am just duplicating what I already have inthe interest of time you would then continue on with your actual content sothis is going to allow us to our character styles that we justcreated to quickly style our content okayand this needs to be act 2 alright and then I want to go ahead andmake these dots pink just to get a little bit of color in here and in thiscase we've got say 2 X you can continue on with your ax as long as you need tobut in this case we're gonna stop here just in the interest of time so if youhad more keep going with this but now we just have 2 X it's a short recital andwe're ready to design the back page so the back page is completely up to youthere's so many options for designing the back of a program I tend to use theback of the program as a contact mechanism or an ad so in this case we'rejust going to do a very quick add learning parents to next year'sregistration of classes and a website to sign up so I have a photo that we aregoing to use it's this adorable horizontal photo I actually want this tobe a vertical photo though so I am going to extend the frame and right-click onthis go to fitting Phil frame proportionately gives us a verticalphoto now since we had enough room and I'm just gonna move her in here and I'messentially holding this over the circle so that I get the hand icon and you cansee that I'm dragging the photo within the frame so I can align this exactlyhow I want to and then a quick W to preview that shows us that she's nowwithin that and we basically got a vertical photo out of a horizontal photoand we have space now above her head for some text content so we are just goingto use a similar format and do not create the recreate the wheel guys justcopy what you already have in this case we are going to copy this text and weare going to paste it over here and drop it over between our marginlines here we're gonna change this to 2019 all right 2019 and this is just gonnasay class registration and then I'm going to delete dance school for rightnow because we're gonna do something different all right and we can leavethis white if we want to it's very easy to read but I want to make it that nicepink color that we've been using just to tie into her dress her little tutu alittle bit butter right and the only other thing I'm going to add in here isa website I want to style this differently so I'm using a differenttext box here and it's just gonna be the website comm and we're going to centerthat up we are going to make this white just so that it contrasts nicely withthe pink we're gonna bring up the size not that much or can bring up the sizeof that to about 20 and then let's bring in a nice bold sans-serif font I alwayslike to capitalize the website it is just something that I do to make itstand out a little more okay and you can leave it like this but I'm gonna goanother step forward and kind of tie in the rectangle that we did at thebeginning of our cover and I want that to be a pink one and we just kind ofwant a stroked rectangle here I'm just eyeballing the placement but that justsort of ties it in nicely and gives it a nice little look okay so there you haveit now we have our complete four-page program ready to go so now what do we dowell we need to save this we need to save all of our hard work so let's saveas I already have one here so I'm just gonna save this as number two this issaving the InDesign document by the way and here we gonow we are going to save this file out for our printer this is if we are goingto professionally print this document and send it off to our printer so inthis case all we need to do is go to I'll export and save our document as aprint PDF and go ahead and save and then we get some options hereI have presets that I already have available in here that I am usingfrequently so I save those out and these in this case we want to have our bleedchecked because we are sending this to print output no color conversion if youneed to export out your PDF and change everything to CMYKthen you would convert to destination preserve numbers and then you would pickwhatever you need to pick for your country and your printing situation inmy case it would be a working CMYK web coded because I do print a lot most ofmy programs I will print uncoated paper advanced I have high-res outlines thisis a PDF preset that I use and I do have a tutorial on setting that up and theneverything else is default so we are hitting OK and then it's going to saveout our PDF and you can see here that this is what that looks like printed andagain you don't see the lines in the actual PDF and you can see thateverything looks okay we have the bleeds checked for printing so we're gonna getsome crossover from our other document and this is ready to send to print sothe only other situation is if you were printing in-house you don't want thepages to be individually stacked you actually want them to show up soregardless of whether you're on a PC or a Mac you would be using the print tobooklet feature it's just a matter of how the printer that you're going to useyou're going to use a postscript for your Mac and then run it through thedistiller which I have a tutorial on that shows you exactly how to do that ifyou're on a PC and you can print to PDF then you can use that feature as well soyou would pick your preset like you normally do if you need to and thesesettings are fine this is a 2 up settle stitch that's what we're going to bedoing because we're essentially printing this in-house and folding it in half ourpreview here shows our four pages as they should if this is wrong or you'vegot a little error here usually the problem is in your printsettings you need to make sure that your paper size says custom that way theactual page size of your document comes through here that's really important tomake sure that this says custom and not letter by default or another option andthen that makes sure that you've got everything fitting as it should and thenI typically just like to keep everything centered on the page but it is going toscale to a hundred percent so it should fit as you want it to again if you havethe option you can print directly to a PDF or you can print to a postscriptfile if you're on a Mac and then run it through the distiller to create yourfinal PDF and that will allow you to print it at your copy machine orwhatever is gonna allow you to print double-sided in this case you're notgoing to need a bleed you don't want it to print bleed that will actually throwyou off a little bit if you don't have the option to print larger thaneight-and-a-half by eleven for example so go ahead and turn that off in thisversion everything else is a okay the way that it is and then we go ahead andhit OK and then you can go ahead and print that PostScript file or print thePDF I just remove that dot INDD save it wherever you need to and now it's goingto create a postscript file for me that I can then create a PDF off of and if wecome over here you can see this postscript file right here and I can goahead and open this in distiller now I'm showing you this option because it isthe version that most of you are going to run into is needing to deal with thisPostScript and it's the one that has the most issues that can come up so ifyou're printing to a PDF just like you did the PostScript file you would justhave a PDF and you're done ready to send that to the printer but in thePostScript opportunity here this is the dialog box that comes up and we need tomake some choices again I have some presets in here so I want to make surethat I'm using those presets the PostScript file doesn't have any ofthose settings applied to it like you would if you were saving a PDF so weneed to go ahead set this and then the other thing thatyou need to double-check is the paper size this again is where a lot of peoplewill have issues so I'm gonna go ahead and run the PostScript file through hereand we'll see what we get but if you do have issues with alignment it usuallylies in your page size not matching up with the document and in this case I cantell you it's not because it's coming up as a portrait with the width it actuallyneeds to be the other way around because our double pages we're thinkingdouble pages now we designed a five and a half by eight-and-a-half booklet butthe pages are side by side so it's actually 11 by eight and a half right sowe just need to make sure that that page size reflects what we're actuallycreating so that when we print it out we print out our eight and half by elevenand fold that in half then we end up with our five and a half by eight and ahalf so you just have to be aware of that when you're doing this and if itdoesn't look right it's usually the paper size that is the issue so I'mgonna go ahead and drop that in there and then we're gonna go ahead and savethis out as a PDF and you can see that it's running through and it created aPDF now the moment of truth is to open this guy up and see what we get okay andhere we have our PDF and you can see that our pages are side by side exactlyhow we wanted side by side right so this is our front in our back and this is ourinside pages so from here I can go ahead and print this on any printer that Ihave access to that is going to allow me to print double-sided so I don'tactually have that in this case but you can now print this double-sided knowthat because you don't have these images in that you may have some issues soagain like I said earlier in the tutorial make sure that you've got whitespace around here to look a lot better but the technique is the same and youcan see the difference between saving this out for a professional printerwhere all of your pages are stacked and they can now take this and put thistogether versus the booklet version which allows you to print this in-housedouble-sided you can send this to your printer by the wayit's just that they typically prefer it like this in all my years of printingprinters prefer it this way where this is very handy if you're printing thisin-house because you don't have to worry about the pages being side by side sothat is two ways that you can save out your final document running it throughthe distiller and again if you have any issues with the way that it looks it ismost of the time related to your PDF settings and it is the page size as theissue as I noted if this was reversed by default we would have had an issuebecause it would have printed out our booklet in portrait mode instead oflandscape mode and we would have had an issue so that was fixing it to match thepage size originally thank you guys so much for watching I know this was apretty detailed tutorial but again this is a project that so many of you haverequested and a lot of us are tasked with doing pretty much on the fly whenyou're

me an email which islisted down below check out the other tutorials if you're stuck on anythingthat I have way more detail on especially the last step where you'resaving out the PDF I actually have a

COLUMBUS — The Columbus Crew today issued the following statement in regard to media reports about the organization's status within the Hunt Sports Group:
With respect to recent media reports and commentary relating to the future of the Columbus Crew, the Hunt family is firmly committed to the Crew organization in Columbus. In June 2010, Hunt Sports Group announced it would pursue additional investors in the Crew to strengthen the current local investor group that has been part of the club since its inception. HSG also stated that any new investors must align with the Hunts' long-term vision for Major League Soccer in Columbus.
"The City of Columbus, the Crew and Crew Stadium are extremely important to our family, and that hasn't changed," said Clark Hunt, Chairman of Hunt Sports Group. "We continue to believe that additional local investment only serves to strengthen the Crew's standing in Columbus and Major League Soccer, and over the past two years, we have openly explored the possibility of bringing in minority investors to the club. In an attempt to emphasize the importance of identifying additional investors in the Crew, Commissioner Garber's recent comments overstated this objective. He has since clarified his statement through a league spokesperson.
As we have said previously, adding local investors, reaching our goal of 10,000 season ticket holders, securing a naming rights partner for Crew Stadium and boosting support from the business community are all critical factors in the long-term success of the Crew in Columbus. From our family's perspective, our objectives have not changed since we made this original announcement."

|Assistant village leader gunned down in southern Thailand
|An assistant village leader was gunned down in Pattani's Mayo district on Thursday afternoon.
The Mayo police chief, Pol Col Kong-ath Suwankham, said the attack occurred about 1 p.m. as Muhamad Sukin Yaye was sitting alone on a bamboo bed on the ground floor of his home. Two men arrived on a motorcycle and one of them opened fire at him with a .38 pistol, instantly killing him.
Police are checking security camera footage from near the spot to identify the attackers.
PM calls for investigation of brazen school attack
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has ordered an investigation into the brazen shooting of a Muslim teacher in the far South, as security authorities defended their approach to school security.
The lunchtime shooting on Wednesday of Chonlathee Charoenchol, a teacher in Narathiwat province, shocked the government and security officials for its cold-blooded nature. Chonlathee was shot at lunchtime in front of 292 students and 15 other teachers in the school's cafeteria.
Police yesterday provided a list of four suspects for the shooting, as 20 schools in the area stayed shut for a second day after teachers expressed concerns.
The four men named by police as suspects in the attack were identified as Isma-ael, Arhama, Sorkumin and Marorsor. Mr Isma-ael is believed to be the man who shot the teacher, Deputy Narathiwat police chief Kritsada Kaewjandee said. The gun used in the killing belonged to Pol Sgt Arzeesal Hemna, who was attached to Khok Khian police station in Narathiwat before being gunned down last year, he said.

The Chicago Jazz Orchestra's homage to Benny Goodman and his remarkably fine band was perfect in every way—even in ways one wouldn't, couldn't possibly expect.
So, let's get your motor running so you're better able to take in the experience. Here's a link to Sing, Sing, Sing, the 1938 performance of one of Goodman's signature pieces (and the "bring the house down" number that ended the first half––(yes! they weren't done yet!)––of the concert:
Got your toes tappin' and fingers snappin'? Did you get up to dance? Then you have an idea what the evening was like––captivating.
But I need to paint a fuller, more complete picture for you:
Jeff Lindberg, Artistic Director and Conductor of the CJO, orchestrated (sorry, the pun was too tempting!) a 1938 envelope for us. Not only was the music right there but, in front of the stage, The Windy City Jazz Dancers amazed and delighted us with every step, flip, kick and twirl of their lindy hop, or whatever it's called. Their youthful exuberance was delightful to watch! For me, they became visual representation of the music, almost like dancing musical notes. Believe me when I say I will not try any of these steps at home, but I did kick up my heels a bit…
But that's not all!
Three virtuoso clarinetists:
- Winner of the Multi-Reedist of the Year Award in 2012, Israeli Anat Cohen, made her debut at Ravinia with this concert and brings a wild klezmer accent to her thrilling music.
- Larry Combs, a now-retired (2008) principal clarinetist of the CSO and Chicago Chamber Musicians began fulfilling his lifelong his lifelong interest in jazz in the 1999 Jazz Festival and still is going strong. Tonight marks Larry Coombs 19th season as a featured soloist at Ravinia.
- Chicago clarinetist Eric Schneider has been playing the clarinet since his tenth birthday. Shortly after college graduation with a degree in advertising, he began playing with best of them, starting with a four–year world tour with Earl "Fatha" Hines.
Two knockout vocalists
- Cyrille Aimée grew up with Gypsy music, studied in Paris and the Dominican Republic, traveled the world, sang at Lincoln Center and won the Thelonius Monk Competition and recorded he major-label debut album It's a Good Day, due out later this year. This is her Ravinia debut.
- Two-time Grammy Award winner Sylvia McNair was promising violinist who applied her skills to singing and recording over 70 albums ranging from arias to cabaret. The impressive breadth of her experience includes an honorary doctorate from Westminster Choir College (1997). She made her Ravinia debut in 2002 and returns for her ninth season.
And one gracious, glamorous, gorgeous host
Pamela Tyus of WVON gave us context. She kept us aware of the historic connection between then and now—75 years have past since Benny Goodman's band made its indelible, game-changing impression on Ravinia, that stalwart temple of classical music and lily-white America. Benny saw black and white keys on the piano, not people. He only saw musicians.
Historically and musically, this was an outstanding evening of sensational music.
Want to hear more?
- See the CJO at the Jazz Showcase in June. Sets will be at 8 and 10 pm.
- Appearing:

The Mac mini has always sat in a bit of an unusual position in Apple's lineup. Given the price and power it provided, the MacBook always seemed like the better choice. The 2011 model, however, has the power of an Intel Sandy Bridge processor inside, and with the basic MacBook currently retired, the Mac mini holds onto its position as the most affordable route to Mac ownership.
At £529 for the entry-level model, which ships with a decent enough i5 processor, it's possible that the Mac mini has also become a viable alternative to the iMac, which now starts at £999, although offers a much higher run of spec options. So is the Mac mini a decent affordable entry into the world of the Mac? Or is it too wimpy in the power department to put up a fight against its bigger brothers?
No one can argue that Apple doesn't make beautiful products, its all-brushed aluminium lineup being about as good as it gets when it comes to design. The Mac mini maintains the company's signature minimalist approach, stripping back everything until you are left with what is essentially a smooth aluminium box with an Apple logo on top.
On the front is nothing more than a sleep/wake light and an IR receiver. It means that the Mac mini is totally unobtrusive, sitting very happily in a living room and drawing just the right amount of attention to itself. It is particularly rewarding when someone who hasn't seen one before asks: "what is that little box with an Apple logo on?" and you explain it is a PC and they refuse to believe you.
The black back is crammed with ports: you get 4 USB 2.0 to play with (Apple eschewing the faster USB 3.0), HDMI out, Thunderbolt, Ethernet, SD card reader and finally the FireWire 800 port. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also included for wireless connections. Plenty then, even if the SD card slot is in a position impossible to get to if you've installed the Mac mini under your TV. We love slick design, but we'd also like to be able to easily access that slot when inserting the card from a camera.
The inclusion of the new Thunderbolt port does mean that you not only get access to really fast data transfer speeds (with a compatible device), but you can stick the Mac mini into the brand new Apple Thunderbolt display. This, however, will add another £899 to your bill and you'd probably be better off looking at an iMac instead. The real joy behind the Mac mini is that you can stick whatever accessories you have into it. We used an old wireless USB keyboard and mouse and plugged the box straight into our TV via HDMI.
The box itself is tiny at just 3.6 x 19.7 x 19.7cm and weighs only 1.22kg. Given the amount of power it can turn out it is staggeringly lightweight. Not a lot else can be said about the Mac mini's design. It is a silver box, it looks great, it is everything you expect from an Apple product. We noticed that the plug and back of the unit did tend to heat up a bit after lengthy use, but never to a worryingly high level.
The Mac mini on review here is one of the higher-spec 2.5GHz i5 offerings with 4GB of RAM. Just to compare, that is about the same spec as the recently released entry-level MacBook Air. At £699 you are getting a powerful enough desktop PC, but don't expect it to handle all your high performance tasks.
OS X Lion does a great job of getting through daily browsing and basic computing tasks easily on any processor speed, so if you are picking up the mini just to use for office work and nothing too graphically intensive, it could be the perfect choice. This higher-spec model benefits from the inclusion of AMD Radeon HD 6630M; a mid-range graphics card normally found in laptops. This gives it greater capability over the entry-level Mac mini with its integrated Intel Graphics HD 3000 offering, but it won't necessarily have the power to cope with hardcore gaming or heavy video editing, for example.
We gave Portal 2 a run on the mini and whilst it got on with things, it wasn't happy frame rate-wise on the top end of the graphical scale. Similarly Photoshop and Lightroom, whilst they would run, often encountered speed problems when set alongside the performance you'd expect from a similarly priced PC unit; although admittedly, some third party applications don't run as smoothly on OS X Lion as we'd expect them too.
Connected up to our sitting room television with a wireless keyboard and trackpad sitting in front of us, the Mac mini becomes the perfect internet browser, Twitter updater and video playback box, packing in the power it needs to perform as a media centre. Less intensive apps like Spotify and iPhoto can run in the background offering a more comprehensive experience than you might get from some connected media boxes.
Playing high definition downloads from iTunes was totally lag free, with the mini keeping quiet even after lengthy periods of 1080p playback - no need to worry about noisy cooling fans spoiling those tense movie moments.
Personally we would opt for the 4GB (minimum) offering just because having that extra bit of RAM takes the edge off multitasking. The Mac mini can be configured with 8GB at the point of ordering if you want to take it a step higher, along with faster HDD or SSD options, at extra cost.
On the big screen
One of the major plus points of picking up the new Mac mini is that it ships straight to you with OS X Lion included, so you get the latest Apple operating system and the speediest user experience yet. We have covered the features of OS X Lion in depth in our review, so we are not going to go over it again here. We will say, however, that the new OS is perfectly at home on the Mac mini, with things like Launchpad running very smoothly and looking great on the big screen.
To get the best experience from OS X Lion you'll probably want to pick up a Magic Trackpad (£59) as it is a particularly gesture-heavy operating system. The ability to switch between full screen apps using a four finger swipe and the forward and back Safari browsing looks especially slick on the screen of your big TV, tidier than having to use menus, docks or taskbars to navigate the OS.
This is where the mini really begins to shine. That simplicity and "just works" approach that Apple takes to its operating system is perfectly suited to the Mac mini; when you turn it into an entertainment centre, it packs in the power, sophistication and performance in a second-PC role. The HDMI will carry audio along with video, so can play through your display's speakers or through your AV receiver; whilst the internal speaker is adequate for system sounds, it won't really do justice to music or movies.
With the Mac mini occupying the slot as the most affordable route to Mac ownership, it may well appeal to anyone who is looking for value for money. Being able to pair it with existing peripherals may appeal, but its price may also tempt those who want a compact and capable PC for entertainment in the living room, with the HDMI demonstrating that Apple also has this in mind.
Of course there is enough power on offer here to let the Mac mini function as your only desktop computer, although bear in mind that the performance is more akin to a notebook than a traditional desktop.
While we feel that many will be tempted by the portable and now powerful MacBook Air, for those looking to fill that little corner of computing life, it's an elegant and reasonably affordable option.

Next-generation enterprises looking to drive efficiency and innovation have recently been able to tap into online communities to offload work. For the first time since outsourcing became prevalent in the 90s -- making it easier to move tasks out to partners that could do something better or more cheaply than you could -- businesses now have a new, potent, and often far cheaper option thanks to the Web.
Frequently referred to as crowdsourcing, and a darling of the Web 2.0 industry, it has recently come of age as the tools and marketplaces for on-demand work capacity on the network have expanded far beyond the early volunteer communities that originally proved out the concepts. These pioneers, which include the world of open source software and online services such as YouTube and Threadless, get most of their value from a large group of people or community through the simple use of an open invitation.
While Internet startups have had considerable success with crowdsourcing over the last few years, including with its more serious cousin peer production, it's only recently that they've focused on creating the tools and communities that can be readily consumed by enterprises. One of my favorites is Crowdspring, an online design service. I've submitted work there in the past and was amazed at the number of community responses I received (well over 40 for a single design request) for the smallest fraction of what it would cost using traditional services. LG recently designed one of its new phones this way for a paltry $20k (details and submissions here). The economics and results of crowdsourcing are thus often compelling.
Related: Crowdsourcing is one of 18 key topics for IT and business leaders this year.
Now we're beginning to see a more complete picture emerge as various providers begin filling in the blanks in terms of the type of work that can be done. I've been tracking early providers such as Amazon's excellent Mechanical Turk and Innocentive for years, but there now both more specialized providers across more aspects of what we do in business. This includes idea generation, design work, execution of business processes, testing services, and even customer support. All of these can now be connected, often programmatically, directly to a company's supply chain.
While some companies, notably Netflix (the just renewed the Netflix Prize) and Emporis (real estate data), have built their own crowdsourcing capabilities internally, this is not something most companies are experienced with or prepared to do themselves. It also often doesn't make sense to build a crowdsourcing environment in-house unless the work to be done is strategic to the business. For these organizations there are now commercial services available which have all the necessary ingredients to begin using them right away to crowdsource. These including configurable architectures of participation, legal constructs, customer support, as well as communities of users ready to contribute. Depending on the kind of work required, organizations that use crowdsourcing typically pay by the unit of work (such as a successfully completed task) or for a successful solution to a problem, usually in the form of a prize.
The reasons that a business would use crowdsourcing is varied. They include ability to offload peak demand, access to cheaper business inputs, generating better results, and tackling problems that would have been too difficult to do otherwise. Often the challenge is that the contributions from the community can be large. This richness and variety is wonderful to have but sometimes requires considerable review to find the best one. Such a swamping of inputs led to early problems, such as when Amazon's Mechanical Turk was used to try to find Steve Fosset's plane using an army of 50,000 volunteers a few years ago. Newer more mature crowdsourcing services now have filters and controls, such as Kluster's ability to more readily tune the "relative influence" of various types of participants.
Five Functional Business Areas Suitable for Crowdsourcing
A number of crowdsourcing services have become available over the last few years. Some of these are well-known players but there are also many interesting new entrants. What is clear now is that most companies have ready access to crowdsourcing across a wide set of functional areas, to the extent that it's often the easiest thing for them to try before going the more expensive outsourcing route. This has implications for business agility as well that can't be ignored and with opportunity costs so low, I expect more and more busineses will be experimenting with these tools over the next year to find out what they can do.
Here is how the major types of crowdsourcing break down today with examples of some of the providers operating currently for business use:
- Problem Solving. The leading service in the area of open innovation is almost certainly Innocentive, which has over 180,000 contributors that can work on problems in science, manufacturing, biotech, medicine and many other fields. They offer rewards ranging from $5,000 up to $1 million for solutions to submitted problems. Does this model really work better for solving difficult business challenges? A new article in The Economist says it does, reporting up to a 74% ROI for crowdsourcing over central production methods. Other options include GuruStorms, Philoptima and PlanetEureka.
- Design. Today crowdsourced design often means Web design and leading offerings like Crowdspring provide marketplaces to crowdsource Web designs cheaply and quickly. That doesn't mean that's all there is and some marketplaces, like Denook, offer design for other things as well, such as apparel. BootB, for example, will help you crowdsource marketing and creative work, and general purpose tools like Kluster can help you strategically farm specific design decisions across your own private or public community. More traditional services such as Elance also provide on-demand design work, but are less structured to create multiple competing inputs.
- Work. For many kinds of simple tasks, particulary if they are small, there have emerged highly granular on-demand work marketplaces. While Mechanical Turk is one of the top solutions in this space, there are others including the new CrowdFlower. You can't outsource complex tasks to these platforms, they're primarily designed for simple things. A good example of a service built on top of these types of crowdsourcing tools is CastingWords, one of the best audio transacription services on the Web. It breaks up recordings into tiny pieces and distributes them across the world to Mechanical Turk workers for conversion to text. For IT shops there is even crowdsourcing for software development from TopCoder, the "world's largest competitive software development community with 220,326 developers representing over 200 countries."
- Testing. "Users as testers" has been a growing meme for assuring user input from customers is broadbased and thorough. However services such as the popular uTest are bringing crowdsourcing to testing of software and other services.
- Support. Online customer communities have been a steadily growing source of crowdsourced customer service and support for companies that understand how to grow and nurture them. For everyone else, there are services such as Fixya, which crowdsource customer support to get the answers you need, often much better and more accurate than what you can get from the companies that make the products themselves. Other options include the terrific GetSatisfaction and CrossLoop.
Like many aspects of digital business, crowdsourcing is a strange and foreign creature to most non-Internet businesses. While it's very early days for this approach, the evidence is beginning to show there can indeed be significant operational and sometimes direct competitive advantage to using them. Successful next-generation enterprises will carefully pilot crowdsourcing approaches and technologies, cultivate competencies in the techniques, and begin applying them edge to center in their organizations whenever it makes sense.
