Canonical Discusses Banshee Decision
Jason Warner, Ubuntu Desktop Manager for Canonical, discusses the 'whys' of the Banshee decision.
The intention for Banshee to become the default music player in the next release of Ubuntu was discussed at the last Ubuntu Developer Summit in Orlando, Florida (UDS_N), and it's now official - Banshee will replace Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 11.04, Natty Narwhal release.
Since the discussion at UDS-N, there have been many questions surrounding the Banshee decision. The Ask Ubuntu site offers many answers, but we asked Jason Warner, Ubuntu Desktop Manager for Canonical, to provide more details about the move.
Not long after beginning his role as the Ubuntu Desktop Manager, Warner started receiving user requests to include Banshee as the default music player. He says that Banshee has been the most-requested application for inclusion into Ubuntu.
"Banshee gives users a more consistent user interface," Warner says. "Banshee meets our users needs and gives them the most efficient experience."
Some users and developers have speculated that the Ubuntu and GNOME relationship has been strained since the decision to make Unity the default desktop in Natty. Does using Banshee as the default music player help strengthen Ubuntu's relationship with GNOME? "While that is an interesting take on the decision, it is a plus for the decision after the fact," Warner says. "While the Banshee association with GNOME is a bonus, giving the user the best experience possible was the real deciding factor in selecting Banshee," he adds.
Warner says that from the developers point of view, the criteria is very similar to that of the end user. "Banshee offers more in the area of extension libraries and has a vibrant community that allows for a better, more heavily maintained application, with a much richer ecosystem," he says. "Banshee continues to improve because users, many in the Ubuntu community, continue to test the application and give the developers feedback," he says.
Warner encourages users who want to help test Banshee to download and install the application and report feedback. "I hope the user experience is a positive one, and if it's not, we want to hear about it," he says.
Mono legally has been vettedRE: Mono legally has been vetted for by multiple lawyers, companies and Microsoft's own public statements. Legal threat: nill.
Really ? you might want to nip across to Groklaw and see if you still think that your comment is true.
UbuntuUbuntu has the courage to be innovative . . . albeit . . . the criticism!
Mono is MS poisonPlease no mono.
Mint Selecting Applications More Carefully?To the other commenter:
-Created new installer/updater instead contributing back to the upstream.
-Mint created a new menu because it thought the standard GNOME panel was not good enough.
-Mint selected Thunderbird instead of GNOME's Evolution.
-Mint ships Pidgin instead of Empathy.
-Mono legally has been vetted for by multiple lawyers, companies and Microsoft's own public statements. Legal threat: nill. Mint ships with proprietary codecs installed which is illegal in many countries. Legal threat: small but it is real.
-Mint is the third largest Linux distribution where are it's upstream contributions to GNOME?
This is not meant to be a criticism of Linux Mint I have in the past enjoyed using it and even donated to it. Yet, people do seem to be blaming everything on Ubuntu these days. It is time other Linux distributions (supporters) look themselves in the mirror and say "are we any doing better" before complaining about some else's choices.
Just my random thoughtsI've moved to Mint as well. I don't know about the latest version because I am no longer running Ubuntu. Mint seems to update faster. For instance Firefox releases a new version and Mint updates it within hours.
I applaud Ubuntu for trying to make improvements quickly but making extreme polarizing decisions when stuff isn't ready is not a good idea. Much of Linux is on the bleeding edge on many things but that shouldn't be the case in some areas.
Maybe there should be 2 version like Debian. One really unstable and one stable. You can keep Grub 2, Wayland, and Unity in the unstable camp.
Personally I think KDE should be the default for a desktop distro and let people run Gnome or LXDE on old hardware. Hardware is so cheap and powerful these days anything made in the last few years should be able to run KDE no problem. Even Gnome seems a bit bloaty these days. My parents old $400 laptop from 4 years was slow on Gnome but is quite fast on LXDE.
Also what is with the ugly colors in Ubuntu? Historically the awful brown now the not quite as bad purplish.
what about rhythmbox ?banshee runs on mono, i doubt that it is better integrated with gnome than rhythmbox.
which is default for gnome, and was in ubuntu.
i think that last ubuntu decisions will lead to more users migration to Linux Mint, which selects
default applications much more carefully.

The hurricane is expected to disrupt the lives of 50 million Americans along the Atlantic coast this week. Airlines have cancelled flights. Roads, tunnels and public transit have been shut down. And major cities have issued evacuation orders.
Though we'd rather she not, Hurricane Sandy offers an object lesson just in time for Election Day. The Tea Party and its favorite politicians dream of a federal government stripped down to next to nothing. They would slash the budget, meaning quick and efficient response to a multi-state natural disaster would be impossible. Grover Norquist, the anti-tax zealot Republicans must obey, sums up the logic better than we can: "My goal is to cut government in half in 25 years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."
For some, those are comforting words. At least they are until the flood waters and high winds have damaged your home, your family, your school, your ability to make a living and so on. Then that much-despised government can mean the difference in recovery time.
George W. Bush's disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina will linger as a warning for future presidents. No chief executive wants to look as unprepared and out of touch as President "Heckuva job, Brownie."
It's no surprise that President Barack Obama leapt into action in advance of Sandy. He declared emergencies in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His administration will "respond big and respond fast" to the anticipated damage, Obama said.
"My message to the governors as well as to the mayors is anything they need, we will be there, and we will cut through red tape," the AP quoted Obama saying. "We are not going to get bogged down with a lot of rules."
This is what we'd expect from any president, particularly one asking voters for a second term. However, there's a far larger point at play. Obama is but the latest caretaker of the federal government's ability to respond to its citizens in need following a disaster. The ideal of a government that doesn't leave it citizens adrift in times of crisis is a standard Americans would not forsake.

During Thursday's meeting, Mayor-elect Rick Freeman readied the four new council members and three returning members for the swearing-in ceremony, to take place Monday at 6 p.m. at the Clyde H. Pike Civic Center. (The meeting was originally planned to take place at the Piedmont High School cafeteria, but was later moved to the Civic Center.)
Mixed in with talk of recruiting business and about changes to the city's abatement code, Freeman tried to set the tone for the next four years.
"I feel like we've got a great bunch," Freeman said during the meeting. "And we've got some big decisions ahead of us."
One of those big decisions is to finalize the city budget, already partially completed by City Clerk Michelle Franklin. Mayor Brian Young chose to allow the new administration to have a say in the city's finances for the coming fiscal year. The council will be discussing the budget in upcoming meetings, Freeman said, and he's asked for input from each council member.
Reactivating dormant city boards is another topic likely to arise in the weeks to come. Freeman has asked that the abatement board be staffed with two persons from each of the city's seven districts. The board is currently mixed with several from just a few districts. Other boards — like the Water and Gas Board and the Cemetery Board — haven't met in many months, said Franklin.
With winter fast approaching, Freeman stressed the need to ready the city for possibly devastating weather events. A list will soon be made, Freeman said, of every piece of city-owned equipment, so that the information can be given to the Emergency Management Agency where it is kept in a database in case other local communities find themselves in need during an emergency. The list will also highlight Piedmont's needs as well, Freeman said.
"We need to start getting ready for winter now," Freeman said. "Not when a storm hits."
The council's Monday organizational meeting will include the administering of oaths to mayor and council by Piedmont Municipal Judge Bud Turner, and the elections of the mayor pro-tem and city clerk.

Notice I said built, not completed. My husband and I are doing all the finish work ourselves — painting, shelving, etc. The kitchen's getting even more attention, as the walls had to be patched in some places, so there's been lots of sanding and cutting and cursing — and dust. But it's all coming together. The new cabinets give us twice as much storage as the old ones, and to take full advantage of the extra space, organization is key. I have utensil holders for most of our items, but when it came to the drawer in my baking station — yes, there's now enough room to dedicate a little corner just to baking — things were a mess.
I've turned to Pinterest for my decorating and organization ideas, and it hasn't let me down. Yes, I could probably buy an organizer, but I needed one that would fit around my measuring cups and spoons, cookie cutters, candy thermometer and other baking and cooking tools.
Speaking of Pinterest, check out our new Pinterest page at www.pinterest.com/starfeatures. There are boards for every category of food (i.e. breakfast, lunch, entrees, slow cooker, vegetarian), decorating and organization ideas. And, of course, a couple of boards for craft and DIY ideas, as well as some gardening, too. I'm telling you, if you need inspiration for any project, look on Pinterest.
Now back to organization. All it took to get my baking drawer in order were a couple of yardsticks. That's why this project is great. It's easy, requires no special tools (just a utility knife or box cutter) and it's pretty inexpensive — wooden yardsticks are less than $1 at Lowe's. Sure, Lowe's gets free advertising every time someone opens your drawers, but that's a small price to pay for organization.
There are just three steps to this project: Measure, cut and fit. Measure your drawer and determine how you want the contents of the drawer to fit. One of my priorities was to reign in my rolling pin, which had a tendency roll back and forth in the drawer, slamming into the back and front every time it was opened and closed. I ended up leaving most of the stuff in the drawer and working around it, to make sure everything had a home.
Once you determine how long your piece of yardstick needs to be, score a line on the yardstick at that measurement on both sides. Keep scoring several deep lines on either side of the yardstick, then line the scored edge up on the edge of a table and snap it at the mark (the table edge helps make a clean break). Use the utility knife to clean up any rough edges.
Quick note: If you're handy with a power saw, this project can be completed even faster. I wanted to watch the latest episode of "Downton Abbey" while I worked, and it was naptime for the kids, so I opted for the quieter, indoor-friendly utility knife. And I was still done well before Lady Mary said her goodbyes to Sir Gillingham.
To make the organizer fit in the drawer, the original method calls for setting up the sticks on a work surface in the pattern you want in the drawer, gluing all the pieces together, letting it dry and then inserting the whole organizer into the drawer. My method was simpler — the pieces I cut were a very snug fit, so the pressure of the different pieces pushing on each other (and the tight fit on the edges) holds the whole thing in place, no glue needed. And since they aren't set with glue, I can add, remove or rearrange the pieces however I need them. This also makes the project renter-friendly, since nothing is permanent.
I used two yardsticks for my drawer, with a 13-inch piece leftover (small pieces of yardstick make good paint stirrers, so I'll be holding on to that). You can find the original project and tutorial at www.ladygoats.com.

Abortion protesters, proponents reflect on decades of Fargo clinic struggles as nation marks 40 years of Roe v. WadeFARGO - The light tan building with glass block windows looks like any other building in downtown Fargo.
By: Robin Huebner, INFORUM
FARGO - The light tan building with glass block windows looks like any other building in downtown Fargo.
But every Wednesday, it draws a small crowd of people praying or holding signs, intermixed with others wearing bright green vests who quietly usher young women into the front entrance.
Wednesday is the day abortions are performed at North Dakota's only abortion facility, the Red River Women's Clinic at 512 1st Ave. N.
The clinic offers surgical and medical abortions and terminates more than 1,200 pregnancies a year.
Watching the quiet proceedings outside the clinic, a newcomer to Fargo may think the city has an uneventful history related to abortion.
But that couldn't be further from the truth.
As the nation on Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme court ruling that legalized abortion, The Forum looks back on the clinics in our area and the key players in the struggle.
The face of abortion
Perhaps the woman most synonymous with abortion rights in Fargo is Jane Bovard. She is part-owner of the Red River Women's Clinic and the building in which it's located, along with retired abortion doctor George Miks, of Chisholm, Minn., and a third, silent partner, who also is a physician.
Bovard helped start the city's first abortion clinic, the Fargo Women's Health Organization, or Fargo WHO.
Bovard was approached about opening that first clinic while she was head of the North Dakota chapter of the National Abortion & Reproductive Rights Action League in the late 1970s.
It took several years to get the right people and details lined up, and in October 1981, Fargo WHO opened in the only building they could find to rent – a two-story house built in 1908 at 11 14th St. S.
Over the next 10 years, clinic workers would have sporadic protests and court battles to deal with, but nothing like what began in the early 1990s.
"It was a living hell," said Bovard.
During that time, the clinic was the target of break-ins, contentious protests and firebombings. Bovard was threatened, robbed at gunpoint, and her north Fargo home was repeatedly picketed.
"It was horrible. So stressful," said the 69-year-old Bovard, speaking by phone last week from her winter home in Phoenix.
"It became really hard to do my job running the clinic. We were constantly on edge that someone was going to do something we hadn't thought of," she said.
Bovard found a staunch ally early on in Jon Lindgren, Fargo mayor from 1978 to 1994.
"It was a time of intensity," Lindgren recalls.
Lindgren, now 74, was behind efforts to keep abortion protesters from picketing neighborhoods, specifically around Bovard's home.
He also stood firm in making sure police officers were able to do their jobs and keep protesters from blocking streets or sidewalks.
"Even very pro-life police officers told me, 'We can't allow them to take over the city,' " said Lindgren.
New level of protest
One of the first tactics used that caught the city and clinic workers off-guard involved two dozen protesters who broke into the clinic in March 1991 and locked themselves together at the neck with Kryptonite bike locks.
Two months later, a group called Lambs of Christ, which had been targeting several Midwestern cities, descended on Fargo to take abortion protests a step further.
"They invaded our clinic carrying (200-pound) metal boxes. They put their hands and feet into them, like an octopus, and locked themselves inside," Bovard said.
"Police had to drill through the metal to get them out," she said.
It was the first of almost a dozen similar protests that year resulting in the arrests of almost 200 Lambs, who ultimately would stretch city and county resources to the limit.
Their method once arrested: refuse to give their names or to walk, which the Lambs said symbolized the plight of the unborn.
It resulted in cumbersome court proceedings and the Lambs being jailed far longer than anyone thought, prompting many to be transferred to other county jails.
The burden was heavy. According to news reports at the time, the taxpayer tab in Cass County for housing and prosecuting the Lambs totaled $250,000.
"Their strategy was to make the disruption so extensive that we would close the clinic," said Lindgren.
"We resolved that we wouldn't let them succeed."
Protesters then and now
Martin Wishnatsky was one of the Lambs of Christ members who came to Fargo in 1991, intending to be a thorn in the side of the city, county and Bovard.
The now 68-year-old traveled to Fargo with a group from New York that was involved in anti-abortion work there.
Quiet and reserved, the Harvard grad with a doctorate in political science wasn't comfortable being a "sidewalk counselor" like many of the Lambs.
But he wasn't afraid to sit squarely in front of the clinic entrance, to serve as a barrier between it and arriving patients.
"We were willing to be arrested for peaceful intervention between the child scheduled for execution and the doctor assigned to do it," Wishnatsky said in a recent phone interview from Montgomery, Ala.
Along with other out-of-state protesters, Wishnatsky often was joined outside the clinic by local pro-life supporters, including Kathy Kirkeby, now 65 and living in West Fargo.
Forty years after the legalization of abortion, both Kirkeby and Wishnatsky remain deeply saddened.
"It's become accepted," said Kirkeby. "It's very, very sad for our country, our mothers and fathers."
"Abortion is a terrible tragedy, and probably the greatest disgrace in American history," said Wishnatsky.
He now has turned to a different method of educating people about the pro-life movement.
Wishnatsky received a degree from Liberty University School of Law in Lynchburg, Va., last year, and just last week began a clerkship in Montgomery with the Alabama Supreme Court, serving under Chief Justice Roy Moore.
According to the university's website, Wishnatsky and the other clerks "will assist in research and writing opinions, having significant influence in the court."
When asked if he might somehow be able to make a pro-life impact in Alabama, a state he says has abortion laws similar to North Dakota's, Wishnatsky paused for a time before answering.
"The chief justice makes his own decisions," he said, in a flat, matter-of-fact tone.
During their time as protesters, both Wishnatsky and Kirkeby were arrested. As a result, Wishnatsky served time in jail and in the state's minimum security prison in Bismarck. Kirkeby was acquitted on one charge, while a later charge was dropped.
Would they change what they did, and do they think their personal sacrifices made a difference?
"No regrets. No regrets at all," said Wishnatsky.
"There are always babies saved by what we do," said Kirkeby.
As far as Bovard is concerned, the protests didn't bring the results the anti-abortion activists wanted.
In fact, she said, her clinic patient load went up because of all the attention.
Through it all, has Bovard ever questioned the work she does?
"Nope. In fact, the more someone tried to stop me, the more I pushed back."
Bovard decided to leave Fargo WHO in 1997, after not liking the direction it was heading.
"The clinic had been sold, and the new owners weren't paying their bills," Bovard said.
"I felt my reputation was on the line and decided I didn't need the hassle."
When Fargo WHO abortion doctor George Miks approached her about opening their own clinic, Bovard reluctantly agreed.
"The biggest hurdle was finding a building," she said. "Nobody wanted to sell or rent to us."
They eventually secured the building on First Avenue North, and opened Red River Women's Clinic in July 1998, giving Fargo a second facility offering abortions.
In 2001, Fargo WHO closed, citing business and financial reasons, leaving Fargo again with one abortion provider.
Changing of the guard
From her home in Arizona, Bovard still keeps in touch daily with Tammi Kromenaker, the newest public face of abortion rights in Fargo, and director of the Red River Women's Clinic since it opened.
Though Bovard has some involvement in the clinic finances, Kromenaker runs the show.
The two worked together for years at the other clinic, so Bovard says it was natural for her to choose Kromenaker as director.
"She and I are a lot alike, very detail-oriented, so it works well," said Bovard.
Both women say the biggest threat to North Dakota abortion rights comes from the state Legislature, which continues to pass laws making it more difficult to get an abortion.
Just last week, a bill was introduced calling for restrictions on abortions relating to genetic anomalies and gender selection.
And the clinic currently is in the middle of a lawsuit against the state over a bill passed in the last session, which bans a widely accepted use of a medication that induces abortion.
Kromenaker says new studies are showing positive results for that medication, which is less expensive for the patient.
"We want to be able to offer that regimen," said Kromenaker. "It just makes sense to offer what's most up-to-date."
The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in April.
Still cautious
Though the atmosphere around the abortion clinic today may be less tense than in years past, there are still plenty of reasons for employees to keep their guard up.
"There's always a personal risk," said Kromenaker.
"Abortion is fraught with people who will go to the ultimate extreme of murder," she said
In the United States, at least eight people, including four doctors, have been killed in attacks against abortion providers.
One security feature now in place at the Red River Women's Clinic doesn't allow both front doors to be open at the same time. A patient comes through the first door, gets approval via video screen, and is buzzed into the clinic through the second door.
Bovard recalls an incident that happened before that system was installed.
She says abortion protester Wishnatsky was able to slide into the clinic, right behind a patient.
According to Bovard, Kromenaker yelled at him to leave.
"She grabbed a Taser and said 'Do you want me to use this?' He turned around and left," Bovard said.
Kromenaker also uses clinic escorts on a regular basis, something she says they never used to have or need.
The volunteer escorts were brought in after the inaugural 40 Days for Life vigil in 2007, put on in part by the Catholic Diocese of Fargo.
With the huge crowd on hand, "That was the first time we felt we needed help," said Kromenaker.
She has since put one clinic escort on the payroll "to be my eyes and ears," she said.
Fighting with prayer
The 40 Days for Life event is an important one for the Fargo Diocese.
"We have documented 55 babies saved from abortion at the Fargo abortion facility since we started keeping track in the fall of 2007," said Rachelle Sauvageau, director of the Respect Life office at the diocese.
How did they arrive at that number?
Sauvageau says it's based on women who've come out of the abortion clinic and either told a sidewalk counselor or prayer volunteer that they have chosen to give life to their unborn child, or because they have gone to FirstChoice Clinic in Fargo for support.
The diocese also holds annual prayer events in front of the abortion clinic, Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, along with Respect Life Sunday and Walk with Christ for Life in October.
One of the most recent moves by the Diocese is designed to meet abortion head-on, with the help of proximity.
It opened a chapel in the next-door building to the east, a stone's throw from the abortion clinic.
Catholic Mass is held in the chapel every Wednesday, the day abortions are performed.
Clinic's future
Bovard said the Red River Women's clinic makes a decent profit "but nothing out of this world."
The primary goal, she says, has always been to provide the service.
Abortion is important to her on a professional and personal level.
In 1974, Bovard had an abortion when she was pregnant with her fifth child.
"We were heavily in debt with my husband in graduate school, and we just needed to be able to take care of the four kids we had," she said.
Bovard said she wants to be thought of as someone very committed to safe, quality abortions for women who chose to have one.
She said she's proud of an abortion complication rate at the clinic that's close to zero, and that they routinely send women away who are unsure of their decision.
Kromenaker reminds people that just because the clinic exists doesn't make women choose abortions.
"If women don't want to be pregnant, they will do whatever it takes to not be," she said.
North Dakota is one of four states, including South Dakota, Wyoming and Mississippi, that has a single abortion provider.
"The antis want more than anything to be able to shut them down," said Kromenaker.
Former mayor Lindgren says several times during the tumultuous early '90s, national anti-abortion leaders came to Fargo to say they were going to close the abortion clinic.
"They don't say that kind of thing anymore," said Lindgren.
"In general," he adds, "abortion is here to stay."

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — When Ron Artest first came to town I ignored him, wanting nothing to do with a wacko.
"A lot of people do that," Artest says.
I thought he was just a thug.
"I tell people who call me a thug you're calling the right person a thug," he says. "I was raised to be a thug."
Others insist he's a sweetheart, although Ron Artest and sweetheart don't really seem to go together.
But here we are in a Detroit suburb, the wacko thug more sensitive, insightful and sweet than advertised. Metta World Peace is now nine years removed from the Malice at the Palace.
"The brawl," as Artest calls it, the day he flipped out and went storming into the stands looking for the fan who hit him with a drink.
We agree to meet over lunch along with John Green, the fan with the great aim who threw a cup of Diet Coke at Artest and won a $50 bet and 30 days in jail for doing so.
We can't meet Sunday when the Lakers play the Pistons because Green is still banned from attending events at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
There was a time when Artest would have welcomed such a ban, admitting now, "Nobody knew it at the time, but I could never ever go back to Detroit so I asked Indiana to trade me."
The Pacers were befuddled by the request, but Artest knew the Pacers were going to be regular visitors to Detroit.
"I almost had a nervous breakdown," he says. His stay in Indiana ended in controversy and Artest decided he would not play basketball again.
He put on 25 pounds, sank further into depression and was shipped to Sacramento. Timbuktu does not have a team.
The first time Sacramento was scheduled to play in Detroit, "I found a reason not to go," he says, while admitting he cried at one point.
"For two minutes," he says, probably coming as a shock to the guys who used to get out of his way in the 'hood.
Late word arrives about lunch. The cup-throwing fan wants to be paid $2,500 to talk, and while Artest says he might have been willing to pay Green if notified earlier, I'm telling him the newspaper would end the interview even before it starts.
Artest still wants to help the guy who almost cost Artest everything, meaning he really is a wacko. The thrown cup begins a chain of events costing Artest around $7 million in salary and endorsements and a year in his prime.
"I was so bitter," he says, and bothered by being bitter.
So Artest posts a picture of Green on Twitter and if anyone produces Green's number he'll take them to lunch.
He gets the number and goes to lunch as promised.

9:07 AM CDT, May 18, 2013
Four years ago, Chicago drummer Dana Hall made a stunning recording debut as bandleader, earning wide critical acclaim for his album "Into the Light" (Origin Records). Though jazz listeners already knew that Hall was a powerhouse drummer with intellect to match, "Into the Light" surprised even Hall's admirers with the ingenuity of his compositions and the taut sonic focus of his quintet.
So perhaps it was just a matter of time before Hall would reconvene that hard-driving ensemble for a weekend of performances at the Green Mill Jazz Club, to be followed by two marathon days of recording sessions. On Friday night, Hall and his band offered listeners a first hearing of the new music he has composed for the follow-up recording, and the compositions proved fascinating to hear and surely challenging to play.
There was no question that Hall and friends were at the start of the process of understanding these scores and determining exactly what to do with them. Even in this first performance, however, these musicians showed the depth and potential of Hall's compositions, as well as the work ahead in preparing to record them.
The most intriguing piece of the first set, Hall's "Cetshwayo," came at the finale and – like all the compositions Hall has penned for this project – reflected his engagement with the music, culture and history of Africa. Inspired by the story of the Zulu king for which it's named, the composition is built on a theme of considerable complexity and daring. It changes direction, tone and meter in abrupt ways, the tune itself a multi-part structure that starts, stops, rushes ahead, slows back down.
Even during this first public performance of "Cetshwayo," Hall and the quintet took it quite a distance, the musicians developing particular segments of the tune, sometimes burrowing in on a two-note motif, other times focusing on the theme's more ornate, complex phrases. Reedist Tim Warfield Jr. turned to soprano saxophone here, producing a brilliant solo fueled by running lines and quickly gathering rhythmic momentum, with Hall's dynamic rhythms constantly rumbling underneath. Trumpeter Terell Stafford brought a blues undercurrent to an expressive solo, the performance enhanced by Bruce Barth's streaked-with-dissonance chords and Rodney Whitaker's rolling, relentless bass lines.
Hall offered much more than mere volume and force during his grand solo in "Cetshwayo," the drummer building layers of ideas on the two-note theme. In effect, Hall, who teaches at DePaul University, reminded listeners that there's more to his virtuosity than just power: alacrity and control are integral to his playing, as well.
Each of the other Hall originals the quintet explored during this set ventured into intriguingly different musical directions, and each will benefit from further performance and study. For the most part, these first readings relied heavily on extended solos, and with soloists of this caliber, there was no dramatic slack. But these compositions were so rich in content that at least one listener yearned to hear the ensemble as a whole develop these works.
Hall's "Umoya," which opened the evening, translates from an African language as "Air" or "Life Force," and its surging, onward-to-victory passages set the heroic tone for much of the music yet to come. The incantatory quality of Hall's "Cush" gave this set a kind of spiritual center, as well as profound two-horn passages from Stafford and Warfield that merit more time and space. And the melodic beauty of Hall's "Imani," which translates from Swahili as "Faith," conveyed a subtle melancholy unlike anything else in this set.
If Hall and colleagues can create cohesive ensemble treatments of these compositions, this quintet's second recording could be a worthy sequel to "Into the Light," a formidable task well within these musicians' reach.
The Dana Hall Quintet plays at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Green Mill Jazz Club, 4802 N. Broadway; $15; 773-878-5552 or greenmilljazz.com.

The One Drum Festival delights listeners with percussion circles and performances capturing the rhythms of the Middle East, West Africa, Brazil, and Japan. This one-day, family-friendly event bottles a swirling storm of meter and movement including interactive workshops where drummers, singers, and dancers of all skills levels can share their creative influences. Todd Roach will lead budding bangers in Middle Eastern hand-drum techniques from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. before Stuart Paton demonstrates the taiko drum, a Japanese instrument played with two wooden sticks or two sausage links carved into wooden sticks. Other events on the schedule hypnotize crowds throughout the day, including a concert at 6 p.m. featuring workshop instructors and special guests and community drum circles. Visitors can bring their own drum or borrow one of the many instruments on hand to tap Jimmy Carter's memoirs in Morse code.
Film buffs across six states stare wide-eyed at large cinema screens, losing themselves in first-run Hollywood movies and the smell of fresh, buttery kernels within Your Neighborhood Theatre's 17 locations. Though all theaters prioritize comfortable seating, old-fashioned friendly service, and high-stakes preshow trivia slideshows, each location encompasses its own distinct charm, be it through arthouse décor, 3-D screens, or Rhode Island's vintage 1950's drive-in setting.
Mount Sunapee, hosting snow bunnies for more than 60 years, sprawls before gliding greenhorns as professional instructors lead ski or snowboard newbies toward downhill proficiency with a full schedule of daily lessons. During two-hour beginners' sessions, students strap into provided gear, including skis or specially designed learning boards that are easier to handle than traditional snowboards made of live, rabid huskies. Groups then trudge out to the slopes, where instructors demonstrate introductory techniques and help snow-pounding protégés cultivate a well-balanced understanding of the fundamentals of their chosen downhill medium.
You can't talk about Eastman Golf Links without mentioning the scenery. Situated amidst 3,700 acres of environmentally protected woodlands, the 18-hole course tunnels through thick groves of trees and around six ponds. Its hilly terrain offers both elevated views of the unspoiled landscape as well as a safe place to look out for charging tribes of territorial sand trap rakes. The picturesque par-71 plays to 6,731 yards from the farthest tees—presenting a formidable challenge for experienced golfers—but shrinks to 5,499 yards when played from the shortest of four tee options.
Though the course is Eastman Golf Links centerpiece, guests can consider it a one-stop resource for all their golfing needs. A trio of experienced instructors lends their fairway-splitting savvy during private lessons, and also offers club-fitting services using FlightScope Launch Monitors. A driving range with both grass and turf hitting bays fosters practice sessions as does a practice green and a 9-hole short course. Guests can sample a collection of 150 demo clubs to find the one that best suits their game or scratches the parts of their back that are hardest to reach.
Course at a Glance:
On an airplane, there are windows, roaring engines, and strangers trying to make small talk. But imagine if all that was gone. Imagine if it was just you, the wind, and the miracle of flight. That's the experience afforded by Green Mountain Ballooning, which floats passengers high above Vermont's rolling hillsides, sparkling rivers, and sleepy towns. Some days, when conditions are right, rides soar to thousands of feet in the air. They also dip low enough for passengers to converse with people on the ground, or snag a package from their mailman. Eventually, flights drift back to earth, where a celebratory champagne toast awaits.
Most sports require specialized gear, and rock climbing is no exception. In addition to climbing shoes, rock climbers wear a harness attached to a rope. At Green Mountain Rock Climbing Center, belay classes show first-timers that this rope is a safety feature and not meant for playing double dutch with a giant. Once climbers have these skills under their belts, they may challenge themselves by ascending walls up to 40 feet tall or venturing inside a bouldering cave, though not before making sure it's free of hermit trolls.

Basketball Teams to Host UNC Pembroke Thursday Evening
Contact: David Beall, firstname.lastname@example.com
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia men's and women's basketball teams are set to host their first conference games of the calendar year on Thursday evening when UNC Pembroke comes to town for a Peach Belt Conference showdown in Memorial Hall.
The Peach Belt Conference doubleheader is slated to tip off at 5:30 p.m. with the women's game followed by the men's game at 7:30 p.m.
What to Expect in the Women's Game | 5:30 PM | Live Stats | Live Video
The Braves ended a four game losing streak last time out when they upended conference foe Montevallo 58-49. UNC Pembroke has struggled early in the year, winning back-to-back games only once so far. The all-time series is tied 5-5, but the Braves have dominated of late, winning two straight contests and four of the last six from the Lady Saints. UNC Pembroke hasn't finished above .500 in conference play since the 2006-07 season when they went 10-6 in PBC play and finished second in the North Division.
The Lady Saints are coming off their first conference road win after taking down Augusta State 57-45 on Saturday afternoon. The Lady Saints are looking for their first 3-1 start in conference play since the 2005-06 season, (their first year in the PBC) when they started 17-0 and captured the regular season championship. In the 10 matchups between the two teams, six of those have been decided by single digits.
What to Expect in the Men's Game | 7:30 PM | Live Stats | Live Video
North Georgia has seen plenty of success against the Braves in recent history, holding an 8-2 mark in the all-time series. Since dropping both contests to UNC Pembroke in 2007, the Saints have reeled off six straight wins against the black and gold, with three of those coming by just two points.
Both clubs are looking to bounce back from their first conference losses of the year, as the Saints suffered a miserable offensive second half in a 19-point loss at Augusta State. The Braves found themselves in a shootout with Montevallo but came out on the short end of a 74-69 decision.
UNC Pembroke has won four of their last five games but will have to break a five-year drought against the Saints to get back on track and continue a quest towards just their second season over the .500 mark in Peach Belt Conference action since entering the league in 1992.
Fans can follow live in-game statistics of all the action at SaintsSports.com, along with a live video broadcast of both games courtesy of the Saints Broadcast Network. Joey Daniels and Mike Davenport will have the call.

Co-sleeping, sleep-sharing, the family bed: Whatever you call it, it means regularly sharing a bed with your child instead of sleeping separately.
It turns out that many families sleep together all over the world. While it's hard to tell exactly how many parents in the United States co-sleep, there's no doubt it's a growing trend: According to one national survey, about 13 percent of parents practice sleep-sharing, a number that's more than doubled in recent years. Though many parents may not subscribe to the idea of a family bed, they may allow a child to co-sleep on occasion when they feel it's necessary.
The decision to establish a family bed is a personal one: What works for other families may not work for yours.
Other important considerations:
If you bottle-feed, you can have a prepared bottle in the refrigerator to give your child when she wakes up, then go back to sleep as soon as she's settled.
Others say the proximity causes their baby to wake up more often to feed. And co-sleeping can make it harder to wean your baby from waking up at night to nurse or take a bottle. Breastfeeding babies, in particular, smell their mothers' milk, and many develop the habit of waking repeatedly at night to feed long after they have a physical need to do so.
If you share a bed with your child, you may need to plan for time alone with your partner instead of waiting for it to happen spontaneously. Depending on your point of view and how you're feeling, planning for intimacy could be a drag – or a fun new adventure.
Choosing to sleep-share should be a family decision. So before you start, make sure your partner is comfortable with the arrangement. You run the risk of damaging your relationship if you decide independently that this is what you're going to do or pressure a reluctant partner to agree.
Talk the issue over together and consider the pros and cons. Consult friends who sleep-share and find out how it's working for them.
Brainstorm with your partner about ways to make private time for yourselves. Let your partner discuss his reservations, if any, and listen to what he has to say. Talk openly about your own feelings.
If either of you still has doubts, one strategy is to agree to a trial period of two weeks or so and check in with each other when that period is over. As with all parenting decisions, it's important to consider each other's feelings and point of view before making a decision.

When iPad was introduced, there was nothing quite like it. And there still isn't. Today millions of people are using iPad and iPad mini to do just about anything you can imagine. Here are a few reasons why they're loving every minute of it.
People love using iPad. We know because they've said so. In a study by J.D. Power and Associates, Apple ranked "Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Tablets in the US" for the second time in a row.1 And because people love iPad so much, they're doing more with it — at home, at work and in schools around the world.
With more than 375,000 apps made just for iPad, there's almost no end to what you can do.2 These aren't merely scaled-up versions of phone apps that lack features designed for a larger screen. They're powerful apps tailor-made to take full advantage of everything iPad has to offer. And because iPad and iPad mini are so thoughtfully designed, virtually every app works on both devices.
Made from high-quality materials like aluminium and glass, iPad and iPad mini are exquisitely designed. You can tell just by looking. But from the very first touch, you'll realise there's much more to them than meets the eye. That's because Apple designers and engineers worked together to create a device that's as remarkable on the inside as it is on the outside. With powerful Apple-designed chips and fast graphics, the true beauty of iPad may just be how astonishingly capable it is.
iPad comes in two sizes. Each with a display that's beautiful in its own right. The iPad with Retina display packs 3.1 million pixels into a mere 9.7 inches of screen. Which means your eye can't distinguish individual pixels, and everything you see looks incredibly crisp and lifelike. While the iPad mini display is bright and vivid, and a perfect canvas for all the apps made for iPad.
iPad not only lets you do more, it lets you do more for longer. Even with its slim design and incredible performance, iPad has an astounding 10-hour battery life.3 Since iPad was first introduced, great battery life has been one of the things that makes an iPad an iPad. And — even as we've made it faster and more powerful — that continues to be true today.
The iSight camera on the back of iPad lets you shoot beautiful 5-megapixel still images and record HD video in full 1080p. And the front-facing FaceTime HD camera lets you shoot 720p video and make video calls on the big, beautiful iPad screen. But even more remarkable is what happens after you've got the shot. That's when you can edit your photos with a touch or cut your video into a cinematic classic — all on the same device you shot it with.
With advanced dual-band Wi-Fi built into every iPad, you can browse, download and stream content at remarkable speeds. If you want to stay connected in more places, Wi-Fi + Cellular models can make ultra-fast mobile network connections.4 With support for mobile networks all over the world, iPad is fast no matter where you are.
The more apps, music, films and books you download to your iPad, the better it gets. With iPad, all that content is available from one source: Apple. The iTunes Store is the world's largest and most trusted entertainment store. And the App Store is home to over 375,000 iPad apps — all reviewed by Apple to guard against malware. Other mobile platforms have a myriad of fragmented store options, resulting in availability issues, developer frustration and security risks.
The innovative features and built-in apps in iOS 6 make iPad not only easy to use but also incredibly fun. Right from the start, you can say "hi" over email or wave hello with video calling. Every iOS software update downloads straight to iPad, so the latest iOS version is just a tap away. And because Apple makes both the hardware and the software, iOS features are designed to work perfectly with iPad features like the display, gyro and accelerometer.
iCloud takes the experience of using iPad that much further. It stores your content — your music, photos, apps, mail, contacts, calendars, documents and more — and wirelessly pushes it to all your devices. And with Photo Stream, pictures taken on one iOS device automatically appear on all your devices, including your Mac or PC. iCloud is seamlessly integrated into your apps, and it all just works. So you're up to date everywhere you go. All you have to do is nothing.

Don't Be Confused About Sunscreen
When I'm planning to be outside for an extended period of time I've learned the hard way not to leave the house without sunscreen.
It's been almost 14 years now that I was first diagnosed with skin cancer. Any form of cancer is hard to digest and it's a gut-punch when the doctor tells you those words. For me, just a couple of spots at first.
Then over the years more would come off. And then the worst of all, PDT, Photodynamic Therapy. Yes, it did help greatly. But the procedure was pure hell!
ABC New reporter Jennifer Goldstein recently published an article, 15 Confusing Sunscreen Questions Answered. I urge you to read this to see if you are making the right choices.
One important question I asked my dermatologist, when handing her a bottle of the sunscreen I use was, "would this be a good choice for me." She looked at the ingredients and told me it had all the right stuff. And, don't ever go out in the sun without it.
Below is what she was really impressed with.
So, instead of sizzling take my advice, and that of the American Cancer Society:
Slip! Slop! Slap! …and Wrap! Slip on a shirt; slop on the sunscreen; slap on a hat and wrap on the sunglasses.

Told documentary style, The Devil Inside features some chills and scares, but the exorcism-based film isn't all that compelling. Despite this, the movie had a blockbuster opening during its first week in theaters before steeply declining.
Home Theater Forum's Neil Middlemiss reviewed the Blu-ray release and had these thoughts:
The look of this film is a product of the locations and lighting chosen where, for the most part, it appears natural light was used as primary source.
Dialogue is heavily focused in the center channel and, without issues to speak of; the audio is as to be expected.

Carl Kasell
|Carl Kasell
Carl Kasell with a stuffed duck after a broadcast of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
April 2, 1934
Goldsboro, North Carolina, U.S.A.
|Washington, D.C.[1]
|United States
|Radio Newscaster
|Mary Ann Kasell
Carl Kasell (/ˈkæsəl/; born April 2, 1934) is an American radio personality, most widely known as a newscaster for National Public Radio (now NPR) and as the official judge and scorekeeper of the weekly news quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!.
Early life[edit]
In an interview with Renée Montagne, just before his final broadcast on NPR's Morning Edition, Kasell reveals that he knew he would be in radio at a young age. He talks about how he hid behind the radio to fool passers-by into thinking they were listening to the radio when they in fact were hearing the young Kasell.[2]
A native of Goldsboro, North Carolina, Kasell was a student of drama in high school, where one of his mentors was Andy Griffith, then a high school drama instructor. Although Griffith urged Kasell to pursue a career in theatre, Kasell took to radio more. During his time at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he helped launch local radio station WUNC with fellow student Charles Kuralt.
He worked as an announcer and DJ at a radio station in Goldsboro before moving to the Washington, DC area in 1965. He advanced to the position of news director at WAVA in Arlington, Virginia. As news director in Virginia, he hired Katie Couric as an intern one summer. He joined National Public Radio's staff as a news announcer for Weekend All Things Considered in 1975. He was the news announcer for NPR's Morning Edition from its inception in 1979 through 2009.
NPR launched its weekly news quiz Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! in 1998, with Kasell as official judge and scorekeeper. The prize that Wait Wait... offers to its listener contestants is a recording of Kasell's voice for their personal telephone's answering machine or voice mail. Because this prize has been such a long standing tradition for the show, more than 2,000 people have had Carl Kasell's voice on their home answering machine.[2]
He is a member of the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame. In 1999, Kasell shared in the George Foster Peabody Award given to Morning Edition.
On November 23, 2009, NPR announced that Kasell would retire from newscasting at the end of 2009. Kasell's final newscast aired on December 30, 2009.[3] Kasell continued to appear as the official scorer of Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! He also continued to work for NPR through fundraising and visits to member stations.[2]
During the August 7, 2010 broadcast of Wait Wait..., host Peter Sagal announced that Kasell had been voted into the National Radio Hall of Fame.[4][5][6]
For many years, Kasell has been the announcer for the annual Kennedy Center Honors broadcast on CBS.
In March 2013, Kasell was named "North Carolinian of the Year" by the North Carolina Press Association.
On March 4, 2014, NPR announced that Kasell would be stepping down from his "Wait Wait" duties.[7]
On the morning of March 4, 2014 Radio World magazine sent an email to its subscribers in which it reported that Kasell had passed away. A correction and an apology to Mr. Kasell and his fans was sent almost immediately.

Down & Dirty
Purple Carrots
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.
Today: Carrots of a different color, plus how to use them, where to find them -- and how to store them once you do.
Carrots are an underrated bunch. In all likelihood, there's a mostly full package of them languishing in the crisper drawer of your fridge right now. We get it: you bought a bagful for a mirepoix and then neglected the rest, so they were left to wither away.
That wouldn't have happened if they were purple.
Purple carrots not only add a splash of color to your plate, they also provide a healthy dose of anthocyanins, color pigments that boast powerful antioxidant compounds (like you find in blueberries). Carrots, even vibrantly colored ones, won't really help you see in the dark, but we bet you'll get starry-eyed over varieties like cosmic purple and purple sun. Purple sun carrots are deep purple from skin to core; cosmic purple carrots have purple skin too, but have an intense orange or yellow core visible when you cut into them.
What to Do With a Purple Carrot
To maximize their striking hues, enjoy them raw. If you take a cue from Amanda's kids' lunch, they'll be the star of your crudité platter -- or let them shine in a salad. Try juicing the purple suns (perhaps adding the juice to a cocktail?) or roasting the cosmic purples. Be warned: boiling varieties like the cosmic purple will reduce their purple exterior, and putting purple sun carrots in a soup or a cake could produce a dish in an unappetizing shade of grey.
Carrots are members of the parsley family (it's a large family, but other well-known siblings include celery, coriander, dill, and parsnips), so it's no surprise that carrot tops have a fresh, earthy, and mildly bitter flavor. Yes, there is some debate over whether or not they are edible, but food science writer Harold McGee says they are okay. (And that's enough for us.) If you're willing to risk it, there's no need to relegate the lush bushy greens to the stock pot. Try them in pesto or gremolata, as a garnish, or as the main component of an Asian-inspired salad.
Where to Get Them
If you're inspired by color, keep your eye out for other celestial beauties like lunar white, atomic red, and solar yellow carrots (or pick up a pack of seeds and grow your own!). Colorful carrots can sometimes be found in stores, but your best bet will be to visit a nearby farmers market and start asking farmers what varieties they grow.
What to Look For
For the tastiest carrots, choose firm, richly colored ones with their green leafy tops still attached. Pass on any carrot that's dully colored, limp, or rubbery. You'll also want to avoid carrots with sad, wilty leaves or green shoulders (the top part of the carrot that sticks out of the ground when it's growing), as the latter could be a sign that the carrot got a "sunburn," and the flavor could be affected. (However, there are heirloom varieties of carrots with green shoulders, so when in doubt, talk to your farmer.)
How to Store and Prep Them
Your vibrant beauties will probably be consumed quickly, but just like other carrots, they store well in the refrigerator. You'll want to store the roots and the greens separately, so the greens don't steal the moisture from the root. Cut the tops off of the carrots, and store them as you would any other green. The root part of your carrots can easily last for weeks kept in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer, but make sure to wait to wash the carrots until you're going to use them, as excess moisture in the bag can make them spoil faster.
Fresh young carrots aren't likely to have bitter skin, so leave the peeler in the drawer and just give them a good scrub to get the dirt off before cooking. This is especially true with varieties like the cosmic purple, since peeling them would remove their unique purple skin, and you'd be left with a regular, run-of-the-mill orange carrot. (And who wants that, when you can have its wilder, crazy cousin?)
How will you use colorful carrots this week?

How does the color hold up to roasting or pan sautéing? Also, hoe does one prevent buying carrots that have an unpleasant carrot flavor?

You'll definitely lose some of the color when roasting, though not as much as boiling. I haven't compared with pan sautéing (or steaming). Carrots that don't have the perfect balance of sugars and terpenoids can end up with a soapy or bitter taste. As far as I know though, there isn't any sure visual cue to avoid stumbling upon an unpleasant tasting one. Both would be good questions to ask the Hotline!

I say use them with purple potatoes, beets, and cabbage in a vinaigrette (Russian) or slaw. Maybe throw some silkie chicken meat into the former.

Thanks for the article. Portland, Oregon Saturday winter farmers market has had incredible carrots this year: orange, purple, yellow, and more. Purple have been especially good. My favorite prep (just had it again tonight) is to peel and chunk the carrots; toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper; put on baking sheet; and roast in 375 (convection) or 400 (standard) oven for 30 minutes or so. Sweet perfection.
about 1 year ago Panfusine
Love these, find them to be sweeter than the standard orange ones. Prefer to slice them into salads, the purple color bleeds into an unpalatable shade when cooked.
about 1 year ago Diana Pappas
Gorgeous carrot photos - generally I love growing purple-hued varieties: purple artichokes, purple-sprouting broccoli, purple mustards, purple string beans, etc. I've got to give purple carrots another try in the garden this year. I agree that they are best raw, and you certainly don't want to peel them (with the peel goes the gorgeous color)!

I love purple carrots! Though a tale of caution, once at work; for an event, I tried making a purple carrot cake thinking it would look beautiful! After it was baked, I cut into it and it was a dreary grey colour. So disappointing and not appetizing at all! Stick to orange carrots for any carrot cake endeavors. ;)

Charlotte beats Northeastern to win Great Alaska Shootout title
Nov 25, 2012, 11:23 AM EDT
How late did you stay up last night? Was it late enough to catch a 12:30 a.m. ET tip-off?
If you didn't, we don't blame you, but you missed Charlotte's 67-59 victory over Northeastern to win the Great Alaska Shootout title in Anchorage.
"Just an honor. For this tournament being 35 years old," Charlotte coach Alan Major said on winning the championship. "I'm really happy for JT Thompson. Last time he was here, he lost to Butler in OT. He said before the game, 'How many chances in life do you get to go back and finish something?' So I'm happy for him, but it's just an honor to have a banner in here among some pretty elite company."
The Great Alaska Shootout might not be the tournament that it used to be, eclipsed by the Maui Invitational and, more recently, what looks to be a perennially strong field in Atlantis, but Charlotte defeated Texas State, Oral Roberts, and Northeastern to win the title.
Charlotte had three stand-outs in the tournament, with Pierria Henry being named tournament MVP and Chris Braswell and Terrence Williams named to the All-Tournament team.
The 49ers improve to 6-0 on the season and return home to take on East Carolina on Dec. 1.
