Organizers of an art show at the New Frontier Bank in Denver suburb Greeley, Colo., are questioning whether the display of a multimedia collage of gay art that includes real-life comments about gays and lesbians was too real and borderline homophobic. The artwork, titled Yes, showed photos of nationally known gays and lesbians, including Martina Navratilova, Ellen DeGeneres, Episcopal bishop V. Gene Robinson, and murdered college student Matthew Shepard. Next to the photos are pictures of people with disapproving faces and Scrabble letters spelling out the words shame, hate, scorn, fear, and other epithets. "I don't have the stomach to describe it to you," said Joe Tennessen, senior vice president for culture enhancement for New Frontier Bank, which hosted the 41st annual show. "It had every ugly word you could imagine to describe homosexuals. Our first impression was that it was antigay. We have every age group here looking at the exhibits, from teenagers to senior citizens. A huge percentage of them would have found the artwork repulsive. It wasn't the subject matter. We have no problem with a controversial subject. It was the way it was presented."
Artist Sharon McEachern of Denver said the piece was meant to show what it is like to be gay in America. "Ironically, the art piece in question portrays exactly what occurred at the National Greeley Art Exhibition and what, sadly, happens too often in this country, involving discrimination against gays." She also said the Greeley Art Association, which staged the exhibition, shouldn't hold such exhibitions in banks. "Artistic freedom is threatened when art is challenged because of its content message or viewpoint, rather than because of its aesthetic qualities or artistic merit," said McEachern.
Francis Denning, a Greeley artist and chairman of the committee that oversees the art show, said he has often championed the rights of gays. "I am not homophobic," he said. The exhibition ended May 1.

Jerry wants 'Peyton Manning-type time' from Romo
IRVING, Texas — Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones says Tony Romo is going to be spending more time around the team's Valley Ranch practice facility than he has in past years.
How much time?
"Peyton Manning-type time on the job," Jones said.
After a post-draft press conference Saturday night, Jones mentioned how Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett wants players to be involved as much as possible. Who better to set an example than the team's franchise quarterback who recently signed a six-year, $108 million contract extension?
Jones went on to say that the additional time will also lead to Romo being more involved in what the team does on offense.
"If Tony, for instance, would be here Monday through Saturday … from seven in the morning to six o'clock at night all over this place, then that's better than the way it's been," Jones said. "We'll have more success, and Jason believes that. It's certainly at quarterback but he believes it at the other positions.
"Tony is going to have more time, more presence, not only in the offseason but when the season starts, beginning Monday, assuming we played Sundays. He's going to have more time on the job. A part of what we agreed with was extra time on the job, beyond the norm. That doesn't mean that he didn't have a lot of time on the job, but extra time on the job, Peyton Manning-type time on the job."
Doesn't that imply that Romo wasn't doing enough before?
"No. It's a bonus," Jones said. "Anybody will tell you that Peyton Manning's involvement in what they do is a bonus as opposed to what the general commitment is of top quarterbacks in the NFL. That's a bonus. Again, because I haven't been in meetings with Peyton for a long time, but we're committed and [Romo's] committed to that type of in-season and off-season approach for these years under his contract."

But Kester doesn't really have the luxury of guessing. Baskin-Robbins' trademark list of 31 flavors has expanded to almost 1,000 since the company was founded nearly 60 years ago. To keep that number growing, eight food technologists in the Burbank facility each come up with about 20 new flavor brainstorms a year; of all those, perhaps three or four make it to the big leagues. The shelves of canisters filled with Oreos, M&M's and other colorful inclusions that line the laboratory walls certainly keep the ideas flowing. So too does the dream of being the person who develops the next Pralines 'n Cream perhaps the most celebrated member of the company's flavor roster. "It's a fun job," says Kester. "I get to play with food every day."
Of course, play, as Kester is the first to admit, is only part of it. The food trade is a $500 billion industry in which uncounted new products jostle for space on overstocked shelves. Fully 25% of all meals are now consumed in restaurants, and of those eaten at home, two-thirds are either prepared entrees or restaurant takeout. With all that, Big Food has had to become Big Science. Companies that want to stay in the game can't afford to drift along with the same product line year after year until someone in R. and D. dreams up another Pop-Tarts or Pringles. Nor can they afford to have a good idea and then let it die from poor execution simply that the corn in the corn puff was the wrong texture or the cavity in the cupcake crowded the filling.
As a result, the food industry has become a place where product design is micromanaged as never before where flavors are built literally by the molecule, salt crystals are measured by the micron, manufacturers agonize over which side of a chip is the best place for the flavoring, and any new product under development must be focus-grouped and taste-tested down to its last scrap of fiber and last drop of corn syrup.
"The eating experience has so many different factors smell, texture, taste and different combinations of all of those," says Nicole Ifcher, a marketing manager at Nestle. "If the idea doesn't resonate with consumers, they won't buy it."
Complicating things further is the speed with which American food fashions change. No sooner do manufacturers devise the perfect product for the perfect niche than new categories open up. What's a U.S. food company to do when Latino consumers--13% of the U.S. population and growing begin clamoring for the aguas frescas and spicy tamarinds they grew up with? Where do foodmakers turn when kids who never met a food they wouldn't prefer sweeter, saltier, chewier or bluer create a whole new demand for so-called extreme flavors? And what do they do when all those new choices begin contributing to an exploding American obesity epidemic and the same people who have done all the consuming suddenly demand the foods they love in lower-fat formulations?
"I always look at what's missing in our portfolio," says Vida Leong, a food developer at Nestle's 3,400-sq.-ft. test kitchen in Glendale, Calif. "You have to ask, What are the hot buttons? And do we have a product that will fill that need?"
The Riddle of the McGriddle
Over the years, there is perhaps no company that has done a better job of pushing hot buttons than McDonald's nor any company that has been better at transforming vaguely defined culinary arts into sharply defined food science. Witness the tale of the McGriddle.
For all the power and ubiquity of the McDonald's brand, the company always had a weak spot when it came to breakfast. The Egg McMuffin has been successfully wooing the breakfast crowd since 1973, but salty, savory foods touch only part of the morning palate. "We found that there was a real demand for sweeter breakfast foods," says Gerald Tomlinson, the company's executive chef.
Tomlinson's answer? An egg, sausage or bacon sandwich with pancakes instead of a bun. For a company that lives and dies by the one-handed-eat-behind-the-wheel-and-don't-drip-on-your-clothes meal, however, that presented problems. Tomlinson tackled the pancake puzzle in 1999 and first considered a muffin-shaped product with sausage bits stirred into the batter. But would consumers recognize a pancake with so unfamiliar a figure? And how do you add the syrup, the source of that all-important sweetness?

City of Derry hosted the first Womens Rugby Inter Provincial Championship game to be played at their Judges Road Grounds on Saturday last. Leinster ladies completed outclassed their northern opponents in every facet of the game and in the process played some scintillating rugby that did credit to the sport. Their handling, running, set piece play and structured moves would have put many men's teams in their shadow. Leinster came into the game on the back of two victories against Munster and Connacht whereby Ulster had suffered a heavy defeat against Munster and were beaten narrowly by Connacht.
City of Derry Womens Team were well represented in the Ulster Squad with ten players that included the Captain and No 8 Diane Nixon. Leinster showed their intent early with well organised driving mauls from line outs that Ulster found hard to counter. With ten minutes gone quick ruck ball had the excellent Leinster Scrum half Tania Rosser pulling the strings and the ball was moves quickly along the backs for centre Amy Davis to score a try from a well worked move, Nora Stapelton added the conversion for a seven point lead.
Ulster got a foothold in the game and Diane Nixon lead by example she tackled and carried well and covered a lot of ground, she was ably supported by Grainne Crabtree and Lizzie Ballantine. It took Leinster twenty minutes to score their next try and it came from a scrum Rosser moved the ball along the back line and full back Jackie Shields came into the line to score a try wide out. This was followed by a try from a great break by out half Shannon Houston which Stapelton converted.
Leinster scored another two trys before half time the first came from the star of the game Leinster No 8 Orla Brennan cousin of former Irish International Trevor Brennan. Brennan's try came from a five meter scrum and Stapelton converted. The final try of the half came with the last play, winger Gill Nolan showed her blistering pace to get on the end of a great back move with Stapelton adding the extras for a thirty three point lead at half time.
The game was over as a contest at half time but Ulster to their credit raised their game and good tackling by their backs Eliza Downey, Alana McCaffrey and Harriet Gibson snuffed out any promising Leinster moves. Laura Day came more into the game and had many good carries of the ball and with Diane Nixon the best Ulster player on the pitch, Leinster were frustrated for a long period.
Finally Ulster ran out of steam and Leinster upped their game and Orla Brennan scored a try in the corner and then the move of the game saw Nora Stapelton score wide out. The final score of the game came from the ubiquitous Orla Brennan who completed her hat trick with another try in the corner for a convincing 48pts to Nil victory.
Leinster Coach Philip Doyle said after the game "I was delighted with our performance today and I thought our backs were exceptional, their handling and movement were a product of the hard work they have put in. We now look forward to a rematch in Donnybrook on Sunday week against Munster when we hope to avenge our narrow loss 9pts to 6ptts in desperate conditions in Crosshaven earlier in the campaign". Ulster plays Connacht also in Donnybrook on Sunday week prior to the Munster V Leinster game in their final match of the season.

Also is it possible to only show a subset of the video? Using like a start and end parameter?

The Holocaust: Origins, Implementation, Aftermath offers a critical and important study of the Holocaust. Complete with an introduction that summarizes the state of the field, this book contains major reinterpretations by leading Holocaust authors (including Levi, Burleigh and Goldhagen, among others) along with key texts on testimony, memory and justice after the catastrophe.
The book challenges conventional interpretations and truths of the Holocaust, whether it has to do with the centrality of anti-Semitism, the importance of economic calculations or the timing of the decision on the "Final Solution."
Three powerful texts provide readers with a close look at the psychology of a perpetrator, the attitude of the bystanders and the fate of the victims. Finally, there is an analysis of survivor's oral testimonies, a deeply revealing discussion on the limits of transmitting the experience of the camps to posterity and a powerful plea for the prosecution of crimes against humanity.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- The Society of Singers, a Los Angeles-based non-profit that helps professional singers cope with financial, medical, family or other crises, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the release of a benefit CD featuring performances by such top singers as Tony Bennett, Celine Dion, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.
The organization was founded in 1984 by Ginny Mancini, a singer who was married to the legendary movie composer Henry Mancini, and Gilda Maiken Anderson, lead singer of The Skylarks. The organization's president and chief executive officer, Jerry Sharell, told United Press International Mancini and Anderson put the Society of Singers together because they knew from personal observation that it was necessary.
"Ginny being an ex-big-band singer and Gilda being a band singer and studio singer, they were discovering all these friends of theirs who had similar backgrounds who were pretty busted, pretty broke," he said.
SOS -- as the organization refers to itself -- defines a singer as someone who has earned a living being a singer for at least five years.
"He or she could have been doing backups for Bette Midler or Ray Charles," said Sharell, "or continuously employed at the local Holiday Inn."
Sharell said SOS provides emergency financial aid to about 250 professional singers each year and provides vocal scholarships for young, aspiring singers to an array of institutions including the University of Southern California and the University of California-Los Angeles. The group's annual budget is approximately $900,000.
Funds are mainly raised through memberships, which are open to singers and non-singers alike. Membership packages range from $50 for the basic, no-frills deal -- what SOS calls the "Sixteenth Note" -- to $10,000 for the top of the line "A Capella" membership.
The new CD, entitled "Society of Singers Presents: Great Voices/Great Songs," is a 20-song collection that Sharell produced with Shawn Amos, a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter-producer who doubles as a vice president of artists and repertoire at the Los Angeles-based Shout! Factory record label.
It features performances by Fitzgerald ("Miss Otis Regrets"), Sinatra ("Sweet Lorraine"), Rosemary Clooney ("Thanks for the Memory") and Mel Tormé ("Blue Moon"). It also has songs by Aretha Franklin ("God Bless the Child"), Etta James ("Stormy Weather") and a duet by Bennett and k.d. lang ("What a Wonderful World").
Given America's rich history of pop recordings, Sharell said cutting the list down to 20 performances was challenging.
"The two of us would be in a room, or on the phone, going through various reasons why or why not certain people should be on this," he said. "We didn't want to make it all retro."
As a result, the disc features performances by relatively newer artists -- including Diana Krall ("Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You"), Peter Cincotti ("Ain't Misbehavin'") and Jane Monheit ("If").
Some of the tracks feature arrangements by artists not normally associated with Tin Pan Alley standards.
"Some of the Rickie Lee Jones fans may never have heard her do 'Someone to Watch Over Me,'" said Sharell. "It's a great fit."
Six of the artists in the set -- Fitzgerald, Sinatra, Bennett, Clooney, Peggy Lee and Barry Manilow -- are past recipients of the organization's annual Ella Award, named for Fitzgerald. Dion -- who will be the 13th recipient of the award at ceremonies in Las Vegas in October -- also has a song in the collection, "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered."
SOS does not have a projection in mind for sales of "Society of Singers Presents: Great Voices/Great Songs," but officials said they would like to outdo the performance of the two fundraiser CDs they released in 1999. Those two discs sold more than 500,000 units combined.
Sharell said he hoped the CD would also raise awareness about the organization, particularly for professional singers who may not know what it does for people in their field.
"I would ask them to take a look at us, some of the people they knew in their careers who aren't around anymore -- or who are around and can't really make a go of it," he said. "When you look at our other friends in the foundation business, their coverage is very generous and they do great work. So is ours, but ours is guaranteed to only be directed at singers."
The SOS Web site, singers.org, provides links to other assistance programs, including the Musicians Assistance Program and the Recording Academy's charitable arm, MusiCares.

Cadbury 'race season' by Fallon
AgencyFallon London
SectorFood and Drink and Confectionery
Cadbury is promotes its sponsorship of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, and its new wafer chocolate bar with the latest instalment of its 'Spot 'n' Stripes initiative.
The campaign, 'Race Season', is launching with 60- and 10-second TV spots, which will run for seven weeks.
Created by Fallon, the 'Race Season' sets nine challenges that prompt people to complete everyday tasks at a quicker than normal pace, and offers competitors the chance to set a world record.
The £6.5m campaign marketing spend, part of an overall £50 million invested by Cadbury in the 'Spots v Stripes' initiative, is split between TV advertising, digital, events, community programmes, PR and outdoor advertising. Digital activity includes online games, Facebook ads, VoD, and SEO, alongside a national outdoor advertising campaign.

Okay, by now FR 39, aka the Wallowa Mountain Loop Road, or the center section of the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway–the connecting road between Joseph Oregon and the Hells Canyon area of Oxbow on the way to Halfway Oregon and Baker City–has been open about three weeks for the 2011 season. And it looks like it'll stick–the road hasn't washed out (yet).
The next popular question: Is the road open to Hat Point Lookout at Hells Canyon? The answer to that is yes and no. Last I checked with Dave Tanzey at the venerable Imnaha Store and Tavern, the road was open past 5 Mile Lookout (looking into the Imnaha River drainage & to the Wallowa Mountains), but not quite open as far as Granny Overlook (still looking into the Imnaha River drainage). He said there'd been crews up there cutting back trees that had fallen over the road. And, the road all the way to Hat Point was still snowed in.
Take heart! We've had some fairly decent weather, so Hat Point should be opening up soon. It's quite the view into Hells Canyon from over 8,000′ and the wildflowers are fabulous (see the photo taken in July 2009).
If you really need to know right away about the road, give the Imnaha Store & Tavern a call at 541-577-3111. Better yet, drive on down and meet Dave yourself over one of his famous sandwiches and a Terminal Gravity beer.
And when you're looking for Hells Canyon lodging, look for us in Joseph Oregon. We'll do the checking for you and make sure you're well equipped with maps and binoculars (we'd like to see you return for the evening!).

Iran 'Can Supply Gas to Europe', Says Industry Minister
Iran could be a "reliable, secure and long-term" gas supplier to Europe, the country's Industry Minister Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh said in an Interview.
Nematzadeh asserted that Iran did not "want to compete with Russia," but knew that Europe's demand for gas was increasing and "would like a share of this".
Speaking to the German business daily Handelsblatt, the Iranian minister was firm that, "as far as Russia is concerned, this is a decision for Europe".
The offer comes at a time when Europe is exploring options of reducing its energy dependence on Russia, amid a crisis in Ukraine that might disrupt supplies to EU countries or trigger sanctions against Moscow.
Iran has long seemed an unlikely partner for gas supplies to Europe, despite ranking among the world's biggest energy exporters.
Tehran was subject to international (and additional US) sanctions due to its controversial nuclear program, even though world powers seem to be making progress in negotiations with the Islamic Republic aimed at curbing nuclear activity.
The election of Hassan Rouhani as Iran's President has also led to smoothing out some points of controversy.

My 5 favorite Pebble Watchfaces
Since Pebble only gives you space for up to 8 watchfaces and apps, it's important to find a few favorites and just stick to those. If I could have 20+ installed, I would. But on the plus side, it means I don't have anything on my Pebble Steel that I don't really like. Here are the 5 third party watchfaces I've loaded on to my smartwatch, and why I like them.
1. Taller by mereed
My reasons for liking this watchface are few. I like it because it looks good. The thin, sharp-angled digits stretch across the screen from top to bottom, with the mins and hours separated by the day and date in the middle. It's not customizable and doesn't have a settings menu. You either have it, or you don't. I love it.
2. Revolution by Douwe Maan
Another one I picked for its design. The digits are large, chunky and rounded. Hours are on the top with minutes underneath. Seconds do tick away in the very bottom right corner, sitting alongside the date in a small section on the bottom of the display. What I really like is the animation when the time changes. The minutes – for instance – fall off the bottom while the "new" minutes ticking in, creep in from the side.
3. Casio-WV-58DE by Jack T.
If you ever had a digital Casio watch as a kid, there's a good chance that the watchface above looks very familiar. It's styled to replicate a particular casio watch with its LCD digits. All sorts of settings can be changed, including inverting colors and changing the date format and dividers. A small icon in the bottom right looks like a satellite, but tells you the watch is connected to your iPhone, while a small battery icon to the right of the time tells you how much charge you have left on your watch.
4. LCARS v2 by slayer1551
If you're a Star Trek fan, you can't have a Pebble without having this watchface. Its design is based on the LCARS computer system from Star Trek, while the digits below the time show the UNIX time stamp. What pleased my really nerdy side was that each minute has 100 "seconds" and not 60.
5. Fuzzy Text International by Jesse Hallet
Last on my list, but not my least favorite by any means, is Fuzzy Text International. Unlike the standard Fuzzy watchface, it doesn't spell out the time literally. For instance, instead of reading "two five" for 2:05, it reads "five past two", which I love. Purely because that's how we tell the time.
Have you invested in a Pebble? If so, what are your favorite watchfaces?

Education has been an integral part of the mission of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra. Every year the orchestra has introduced over 3000 southern Wisconsin schoolchildren to classical music through our Youth Concerts. To enhance the school music curriculum we partner with school teachers and provide educational school visits to all schools attending our Youth Concerts. The visits support what the school music teachers teach and along with Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra musicians, we educate students on what they will experience at the Youth Concerts.
The Young Artist Concerto Competition provides Wisconsin high school music students the opportunity to perform with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra at our Youth Concerts and also at one of our summer Concerts on the Square®. Throughout the season we partner with local southern Wisconsin high schools and have world-class artists performing with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra meet and work with high school age students. At our Concerts on the Square®, we feature local Dane County arts groups and artists to provide wonderful arts activities for children in the summer months.
The vision of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra is to enable people of all ages in Southern Wisconsin to learn, create and become inspired through orchestral music. We look forward to serving as your partner in music education in the 2014-15 school year.

WASHINGTON, March 17 (UPI) -- Many U.S. governors are being forced to shelve plans to boost healthcare programs amid a tepid economy and lagging state revenues, a report said Monday.
Stateline.org reported the national economy is making it difficult for states to follow the lead of Massachusetts, which last year became the first state to require that nearly all residents have health coverage.
The Web site reported that before the economy began to sour, governors in California, Illinois and Pennsylvania sought universal healthcare initiatives.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said federal policies could undermine the Bay State's effort to become the first to establish universal health coverage.
"Our success depends on the stability and reliability of the commitments the federal government has made to us. Any retreat in those commitments could have devastating effects on our progress," Patrick told a congressional panel Feb. 26.
Eighteen states must cut a total of $14 billion to keep this year's budgets in balance, and 18 states already know they face being a total of $32 billion short in the 2009 fiscal year, according to the National Governors Association.

Tim Leiweke on state of the Maple Leafs: 'October was not a fluke'
Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment president and CEO Tim Leiweke appeared on the Fan 590's Tim and Sid program on Monday and addressed the state of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Currently in a playoff spot, the team has slipped in recent weeks; after going 10-4-0 in October, they've posted a record of 12-16-5 since, and sit 30th in the league with an astounding 36.4 shots against per game (generally considered to be the opposite of a recipe for success).
Their overall win total has also been boosted by a league-high eight shootout wins, including their past two victories which occurred Sunday against the New Jersey Devils and at the Winter Classic on Jan. 1.
Despite all that, Leiweke appears ready to stay the course, believing the team that racked up the wins to start to the season is its true incarnation.
More specifically, he addressed whether the club is considering a coaching change and/or the jettisoning of young players for proven talent.
"We won't do that anymore," Leiweke said. "We're not going to knee-jerk... and give away a kid like [defenceman Morgan] Reilly."
Leiweke added the Leafs will not sacrifice the future for a quick fix: "Patience is important, and prospects and draft picks will be held tight to the vest."
Here's perhaps the most telling of Leiweke's view of the team: "The issue is not the coach. This issue is, October was not a fluke. We got to get back to playing the way we were then."
Toronto's next three games are against divisional opponents (Boston, Buffalo and Montreal), serving as an opportunity to prove that October's performance indeed was no fluke.

It's enough to make you reach for a bowl of ice cream. For years researchers have said that maintaining a diet that's high in fiber--found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains--should lower your risk of developing colon cancer. Now comes word that a study of nearly 89,000 women, published in last week's New England Journal of Medicine, has found that fiber makes no difference. A smaller study of men in 1997 arrived at a similar conclusion. This is the sort of neck-snapping nutritional news that drives consumers crazy. First something is good for you; then it's not. Who knows what it...
Still High on Fiber
Eating fruits and vegetables may not protect against colon cancer, but it's good for your heart

Q-Tip Announces "Low End Theory" Reissue & Upcoming Album
The Abstract drops gems for Tribe fans.
The Low End Theory is arguably A Tribe Called Quest's best album. From the amazing jazz samples used to Phife and Tip's witty lyricism, the project is flawless; a testament to what solidified their place in hip hop history.
In a recent profile and interview with BBC Radio, Q-Tip announced there will be a reissue of the album in celebration of its 25th anniversary. The reissue will feature the original cover concept and unreleased tracks. This is definitely great news for Tribe fans considering they performed for the last time as a group last year on the NYC Yeezus tour stops. Q-Tip also revealed plans about his upcoming album, The Last Zulu, which he says will be "an evil twin to Tribe." That should be interesting.
Check out the full interview here, as Q-Tip talks the early days of Tribe, how he initially got into music, and working with J Dilla, Nas, and Mobb Deep.
