Some Bills fans might see this as a fitting conclusion to a good draft. Tom Modrak has been relieved of his duties. It seems a bit ironic, doesn't it? Modrak ran the college scouting operation for a near-decade of failure and somehow remained in Ralph Wilson's good graces. Then last weekend, the Bills have a draft that's widely praised in NFL circles and Modrak loses his job.
This move isn't a great surprise. Teams often wait until after the draft if they're going to make changes in the front office. But a skeptic might have wondered if Modrak had a job for life under Wilson. What other college scouting chief could have survived the selections of Mike Williams, Donte Whitner, John McCargo, Aaron Maybin, J.P. Losman, James Hardy and Marshawn Lynch? Have I left anyone out?
Of course, it was fashionable to suggest that Modrak wasn't the one making the final call. It was always convenient to say his hands were tied, that he was overruled and couldn't be held responsible for all the team's blunders. But I feel the same way I do about the Sabres' Darcy Regier. If it was so difficult for him to do his job, if he was inhibited by ownership, he should have resigned with dignity.
Instead, Modrak continued to collect a paycheck from Wilson while living in Jacksonville. He could have been GM after Tom Donahoe was fired, but he got a much cushier gig. Don't cry for Tom Modrak. He did just fine for himself. He'll get paid the remainder of his contract. He understood the value of deferring to Wilson and not making too much noise when his opinions were overruled. Modrak was a perfect companion to dysfunction, a smiling accomplice to Wilson's bad management.
He was a smart, shrewd man. Too bad it didn't translate to the place it mattered most: The draft room.

[ Update: Since this post was originally published, Facebook has responded to Boing Boing with further clarification on their existing ad policies. A Facebook rep tells us the ad in dispute crossed the line because it contained an image of a pot leaf, which current policy prohibits. ]
The people behind the "Just Say Now" marijuana legalization campaign (oft-Boinged Salon contributor Glenn Greenwald is one of many political thinkers on their board) want Facebook to back off its decision to pull their ads from the social networking service.
Advisory board member Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake tells Boing Boing,
In a nutshell, they allowed us to serve our ads for 10 days (38 million impressions) then suddenly reversed their approval and told us we could no longer show the image of a marijuana leaf. They said they decided to reclassify it as similar to tobacco, but we said we weren't trying to encourage people to smoke marijuana, we were supporting a change in US drug policy.They report that Facebook's communications rep Adam Noyes said, when asked for Facebook's decision in writing:
It would be fine to note that you were informed by Facebook that the image in question was no long acceptable for use in Facebook ads. The image of a pot leaf is classified with all smoking products and therefore is not acceptable under our policies. Let me know if you need anything further.
But the group points out that Facebook's ad policy doesn't ban "smoking products," just "tobacco products." Also, Facebook does permit alcohol ads, even ads featuring images of alcohol products and packaging, though alcohol ads that make alcohol consumption "fashionable," "promote intoxication" or that "encourage excessive consumption" are banned. Just Say Now calls Facebook's action censorship.
They're running the ads on political blogs both right and left starting today, and Google has told the campaign they'll accept the ad. As with every pressing social issue of our time, yes, there is a Facebook group for this controversy.
Why bother with all of this? Here's their mission statement:
Our nation's prohibition about marijuana has cost the country billions, resulted in a massive increase in incarceration rates, funded criminal syndicates, yet failed to stop people from using marijuana. It is a failed costly and misguided policy that must end now. We are a group of all individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and political leans that share the simple conviction that the marijuana prohibition must end. That is why we are promoting the legalization and sensible regulation of marijuana through grassroots organizing and direct democratic action.More about the Facebook ad controversy here at Firedoglake.

Exactly like it's prohibited (at least in most European countries, dunno about the US) to grow tobacco without a permit or to sell it to anyone but an agreed tobacco-product manufacturer.
Still, it means we have a clean, less-expensive than-weed, permanent supply of tobacco products. I would be rather happy if it was the same for MJ (especially now that I've stopped smoking tobacco).
coffeemoon says:
promote intoxication" or that "encourage excessive consumption" are banned.
Ah, but ads for "girlfriends" are still allowed for all males registered on facebook who's relationship setting is set to "single", yes? Because alcohol and tobacco are bad but running ads that treat women like a commodity are not? That makes total moral sense, hypocrites!

Vested interest in maintaining an ubiquitous source of easy busts for quick conversion into elevated arrest statistics and Promotions All 'Round! will always impede the impetus for societal evolution.

Green Hit Shirts says:
This story gets even better by the time it gets to Reddit. Reddit, being young and spry wanted to take money for the Just say Now marijuana ad in support of Prop 19 to regulate, tax, and control cannabis in 2010 in California, and then run the ad, of course. Conde Nast, old fuddy duddy parent company of Reddit tried to stand in the way, siting a policy of not taking money for ads for illegal drugs. Reddit, being young and clever decided to comply with Conde Nast's exact request by running the marijuana ad but not taking any money for doing so. :) The people are done with willful ignorance, the media have nearly all hopped on board with medical marijuana at least, and many now support Prop 19 as well, and L.E.A.P. Law Enforcement Against Prohibition is proving that cops can lead the United States out of our drug problem not by arresting drug users, but by supporting an end to prohibition altogether. End the drug war yesterday.

Can the issue of the leaf logo and the call for legalisation be separated perhaps? I think FB are within their rights to ban a logo that could (at a stretch) be interpreted as encouraging consumption, but are 100% in the wrong if their position is that they will not countenance any for of advert which advocates a change in the law.

mdh says:

Jer says:
And, interestingly enough, the tobacco industry is well-positioned to diversify and dominate the pot market when/if marijuana legalization happens. They've already got the infrastructure in place to mass market, and if anyone thinks there won't be a mass market for pot in a legalized world I've got a bridge for sale somewhere. Not that that's a good argument against legalization. Just that some of the supporters of legalization don't think about what the end results of their campaign will mean, and like to act like small growers will be the beneficiaries of a policy shift, when we don't have policy shifts in this country that don't, inevitably, benefit entrenched corporations.
As far as this goes – if Facebook wanted to give the "Just Say Now" campaign free advertising at Facebook's expense then "Mission Accomplished". This will give the campaign some free advertising for a couple of days, and I imagine there will be a resubmission without the pot leaf logo when the free advertising dies down. And if Facebook rejects that then it's another round of free advertising as people talk about why Facebook is rejecting the new ad.
pixleshifter says:
"and like to act like small growers will be the beneficiaries of a policy shift".
In a large sense this is true. Cannabis, unlike tobacco requires no special curing. People will grow their own supply, buy from friends or even apply for licence to supply retailers if they have a green thumb and some space. It could become a serious home industry.
As for the FB argument against smoking, their claim might stand if cannabis were harmful, which it's not, it's just illegal. The image of it however, is not.
Anonymous says:
"Cannabis, unlike tobacco requires no special curing" – That is simply not true.
pixleshifter says:
Tobacco curing requires accurate, regulated temperature and humidity control for an extended period of time if you want something even vaguely smoke-able.
Cannabis buds are best aired lightly until slightly crisp, then bottled in glass jars and aired and turned every day or three.
Curing tobacco requires equipment. Curing pot requires jars.
Ito Kagehisa says:
Well, that may be a slight overstatement. Traditional tobacco barns regulate neither temperature nor humidity with any great accuracy.
But, decades ago I met an ancient farmer in West Virginia who had switched over to hemp from tobacco (his traditional livelihood having been regulated out of existence) and he agreed with you that pot is far easier to grow and to cure. He claimed anyone who could grow mediocre tobacco could grow outstanding cannabis. He said tobacco required continual crop maintenance (topping, slashing, spearing, bug control, etc.) during the growing season that hemp simply didn't need… he'd just pull the male plants as they occurred and that was it. And he talked about "the green tobacco shakes" which I think are nictotine overdoses from tobacco sap. Interestingly enough, he smoked neither weed – but he did chew his home-grown plug tobacco.
allen says:
True, tobacco companies would benefit.
But the basic goals of stopping needless mass incarceration, wasting large amounts of money on at least the marijuana portion of the war on drugs would be accomplished. The net effect to the economy that comes from stopping incarcerations and prosecutions is worth thinking about, probably a lot more worth thinking about than the tax revenues.
There are a lot of benefits, and I suspect concern with the small pot farmer is probably the province of the small pot farmer, and the people that give them custom. It's a shame, but the viability of black market small business isn't really the biggest issue in the debate for me.
dw_funk says:
I wish I didn't have a dentist's appointment, because I'd dig up the comment thread from last year sometime where we hashed out the very issue of tobacco companies taking over marijuana production. I'm inclined to believe that marijuana would be much more like the microbrewery movement. Sure, there'd be major producers, but I find it hard to believe that anyone could get a major crop up that would be of sufficient quality. Like wine or beer, people will want a wide selection of fine buds of different flavors and styles. Not to mention that growing weed is fairly easy (as I've heard; I've never tried), and would only be easier after legalization.
But I'm not optimistic that that's going to happen any time soon. In the meantime, I think Facebook's decision is a little silly, but only if the ads were targeted to people over the age of 18. I don't know that this ad would cause kids to go out and smoke pot, but it doesn't do anybody any good if mom happens to be looking over your shoulder and there's a pot leaf on your Facebook wall.
Niklas says:
True. My gripe was more with the argument that defended the ad than the ad itself. Jane uses the same rhetoric as the tobacco industry while claiming to be different. The ad I have no major gripes about.
Owen says:
The problem with that comparison is that the tobacco companies were lying, and everyone knew it. They were, and to an extent still are, advertising and selling tobacco to kids, because it made them money.
The Just Say Now group, on the other hand, is not selling weed to people via facebook, nor do they directly profit from people smoking weed. There's no reason that I see to believe that their goals are anything other than policy change.
When a group makes an argument insincerely, one should become more suspicious of the group rather than the argument itself. Someone else can make the same argument sincerely.

So it's OK that we jail more of our own people than does any other nation — and mostly for drugs charges? But EEEEEK! Jane Hamsher and a tobacco exec might both have shared an idea once! How AWFUL!!!!

Who are you arguing with? No one here has advocated sending people to jail over it or creating new laws. What they are saying is that Facebook sucks. Facebook is free to act like assholes, and I am free to call them out for acting like assholes.
Freedom of speech includes the right to be an asshole about your speech. It however also gives you the right to other people out as assholes when you don't like their speech.

There is no valid reason for marijuana to be illegal. There are huge negatives associated with it being illegal: crime, too many Americans in jail, paying for those jails with my tax dollars, denying student loans to anyone with a drug conviction, denying employment to those who test positive…
The war on drugs is a war on the American people. End the war.
djfatsostupid says:
Trying to argue that Facebook's official policy only bans advertising of "tobacco products" not "smoking products" to say that they have no right to ban the ads is ridiculous. If the problem with the ad is the image of the leaf then make an ad without that image. First of all, Facebook does not owe free speech rights to anyone. Second, it could be argued that refusing to print ads that promote smoking and drinking is a *good* thing for them to do. Third, I know smoking pot and smoking tobacco are different, but does it make sense for a site that doesn't want to print ads that encourage drinking or smoking to be fine with printing ads that encourage weed? Whether or not the ad *intended* to encourage use of the drug is totally irrelevant.
Anonymous says:
Uhhhhhh there's one obvious problem with this. I've smoked pounds of marijuana in my life but neither I nor anyone I've met has smoked a pot leaf… I don't get it. If it were a picture of buds they might have a basis but this is in no way similar to showing alcohol or tobacco consumption as the leaves are plant matter that is nothing but waste unless you happen to be putting in the time and effort to make hash by extracting the insignificant thc levels out of them. What a joke. This is like facebook saying an image of a leaf from a hops plant would violate terms of use for alcohol. I'm betting nobody would care or even notice
Suburbancowboy says:
Is the Pot Leaf really that big of a deal.
Penn Station is literally covered in ads for the show Weeds which has a pot leaf on it. Next to it are ads for Laura Linney's new show which has the slogan "Grab life by the balls". I actually think that the slogan on that ad is a little bit more offensive than the pot leaves.
Daedalus says:
But those Penn Station adds have hot chicks on them being sexy!. The message is clear. If Just Say Now removed the image of a pot leaf, and put an image of Christina Hendrix's cleavage in its place, it would be just fine (and certainly no worse than those ads for dating websites).
Re: making big Tobacco more money….you're right, but I really don't care who makes money off of it or how. The point for me is the ending of a prohibition, not to "stick it to the man."
hassenpfeffer says:
I've always thought that the Ohio State Buckeye flag looked like it had an MJ leaf on it. (I did not go to OSU, but did go to college in Central Ohio, where OSU athletics are a religion.) I should've complained to have that design pulled.
notalemming says:
Aren't there more important issues like jobs and education that this group can mobilize young people around? Getting high on drugs doesn't seem to be a noble cause or a solution for CA problems. MJ is already virtually legal in CA for anyone over 18 with a card; if you don't have one, possession of less than an ounce is a $100 fine, no jail time, so where is the big deal? Also, the prop doesn't create taxes for the state or regulate–it leaves it up to cities. So the adults will have to fix the chaos the kids voted for.
Anonymous says:
You're forgetting that we spend billions on enforcing this crazy law, meanwhile, tens of billions are going to crime syndicates, cartels, mobs, instead of going to legitimate taxpaying businesses. Just by fixing this ongoing injustice, would generate vast amounts of revenue. It would create millions of jobs, not only in producing the drug, but let's not forget that hemp is currently illegal. Instead of billions of dollars going out of the country to fund criminals in other countries, an enormous local industry would be created. Not only the growers, trimmers, exporters, distributors, and retail storefronts would benefit, but paper mills, biofuel producers, plastic composite industries, cosmetics plants, and dozens of other industries would make use of hemp.
Sure, you can say that it's de-facto legal in California, and the penalties aren't all that bad, but if you think it's bad to lock a cat in a trash bin for 15 hours, you've got to find something's fucked up that you'd lock an innocent farmer in a jail cell for 15 years, give them $100,000′s in fines, and a permanent criminal record. A marijuana conviction is no laughing matter, it will ruin your life. You will lose your job, your home, your family, your right to vote, your right to leave the country, your right to carry a weapon, your ability to get a job in the future. It's a horrible injustice that millions of people are locked up and their lives ruined over something that's less intoxicating than alcohol, and less unhealthy than tobacco.
As far as your argument that "telling people to get high to solve their problems" won't fix anything, I have to ask, since alcohol is legal, are we encouraging people to drink to fix the economy? Guns aren't a noble cause to solve our problems either, but they're legal too. Just because something is legal doesn't mean we're encouraging people to do it. In the grand scope of things, encouraging people to smoke weed instead of drink alcohol would have a huge benefit to society… Alcohol is a hard drug, no question. It's physically addictive, it has nasty withdrawal symptoms, it's acutely toxic, it can kill you from alcohol poisoning, it can impair your reflexes to the point where you can't stop yourself from falling into a ditch and choking on your own vomit. It's neurotoxic and hepatoxic, it causes all sorts of brain damage and liver damage. It causes rowdiness and violent behavior. Weed on the other hand is not addictive, it's completely nontoxic, it can never kill you, it does no damage to the brain, and only mild damage to the lungs. It causes people to be friendly and laid back. If encouraging people to smoke weed would get them to cut down on drinking alcohol, then yes, maybe it is a noble cause and solution for our existing social problems. Either way though, it's not about promoting cannabis or encouraging its use, it's about putting an end to a nearly century old injustice that's needlessly destroyed the lives of millions of people. When they put an end to slavery, it wasn't about improving the economy, it was about liberty and justice and doing the right thing.
danfan says:
Couldn't they just remove the pot leaf?
Surely spreading the message is more important than having the leaf on there.
Anonymous says:
Marijuana use is not merely about smoking leaves. It's a health issue for people who use it to control pain, counter the effects of chemotherapy, treat glaucoma, and so on.
Capsules and extracts are often used in addition to smoking. Facebook might take a more humanitarian approach to this issue.
Will Facebook next refuse images of the foxglove flower and willow trees? These are the original bases of digitalis and aspirin, respectively.
Banning the leaf image says more about personal politics at Facebook than it does about the issues at hand.

Sr. Mary Michael Hill, OSF
Sr. Mary Michael Hill, OSF, (Margaret Mary Hill), of Stella Niagara, NY, passed away on Tuesday May, 21 2013, in Mt. St. Mary's Hospital, Lewiston, NY. She was born in Niagara Falls, NY on February 16, 1931, the daughter of the late John R. and Helen (Edwards) Hill.

Joe is a good-looking man. He possesses a nice muscular build which he proudly shows off. He flexes his big guns, then eager to show us what he's got, he undoes his belt, unbuttons his pants and shucks them off. He pulls his cock out of his white briefs and begins to stroke himself. His body is nicely proportioned, his crotch has been neatly manscaped, and his puckered asshole is unbelievably fuckable. He likes performing and each movement is slow and measured. He rubs his chest and pinches his nipples as he continues to masturbate. Then he shouts to the Lord as he finally cums, annointing his torso with splashes of his manjuice.

Canon EF 200-400mm F4L IS USM Extender 1.4x
A great sensation for the optical world, this super telephoto full-frame stabilised zoom lens opens a new era for professional optics. The Canon EF 200-400mm F4L IS USM Extender 1.4x has a built-in teleconverter, that allows the photographer to switch to extended focal lengths in just a second. As the teleconverter is integrated into the design of the lens it can be activated safely in harsh conditions without exposing the camera's mirror and sensor. With the converter in place the lens becomes a 280-560mm F5.6, but for those who need even greater reach this optic is compatible with Canon's Extender EF 2x III. Although for the enthusiast this is an extremely expensive lens, its ultimate optical quality guarantees uncompromised results for sport and wildlife photography.

Sarah and Chris got married in their family greenhouse in Milton. It was a photographers dream.
Not only did the greenhouse act as a giant soft box that made everything look amazing. But Sarah and Chris had paid so much attention to detail that it made my head spin!
From the flowers to the favors and the basket of flip flops for guests………it was perfect.
I'll let the photo's do the talking!
There were so many amazing details……. I made a collage!

JEFFERSONVILLE — After nearly four days of eluding police, a man wanted for shooting his wife in their Jeffersonville home last week surrendered to authorities Monday morning.
Fredrick W. Miller, 41, turned himself in at the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex about 7:45 a.m. Jail officials contacted Jeffersonville police who took Miller into custody and questioned him for nearly two hours.
Before he was returned and booked into the jail, Miller was preliminarily charged with A felony attempted murder.
Jeffersonville police Detective Todd Hollis said that Miller admitted to shooting his wife.
"He gave some different explanations as to why he shot his wife," Hollis said. "I would consider what he told us a partial confession."
Authorities responded to the Miller household about 1 a.m. Feb. 21 at 813 Colonial Park Drive and found Miller's wife with two bullet wounds in one of her legs. Police have said his wife is expected to survive.
Police previously reported the woman was holding the couple's 1-year-old child as Miller fired at his wife. Their 2- and 3-year-old children were also in the immediate area when the shooting occurred, police said.
Hollis said police had received information over the weekend that Miller had plans to turn himself in to authorities.
"We had information going back two days that he intended to turn himself in, but we continued to look for him," he said. "People will often say they plan to turn themselves in, but never do. We don't take anyone at their word."
Hollis declined to say who provided police the information.
Miller told police during the interview that he had been in the area, mostly in Louisville, since the domestic incident.
Before Miller was booked into the jail, "[Miller] said that he was hoping to see his children soon," Hollis said.
According to his arrest warrant, Miller also faces preliminarily charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, a class B felony, criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, a class C felony, two counts of neglect of a dependent, a class D felony, and interference with reporting of a crime, a class A misdemeanor.

DANVILLE — Mass transit and reforms for both criminal code and education took center stage at a legislative breakfast, held Monday morning at the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds and Conference Complex.
Sen. Pete Miller and Republican Representatives Bob Behning, Jeff Thompson, and Greg Steuerwald attended to give insight into what's on the table at the statehouse, as well as to field questions from the audience.
About 200 citizens attended the breakfast hosted by Hendricks Power Cooperative, Hendricks County Farm Bureau, and North Salem State Bank. This was the second in a series of four Legislative Breakfasts being held here.
"I think we have a great county that's interested in the people," Steuerwald said.
Miller also applauded the turnout, saying he tells other senators about the large attendance for the events.
"I like to get a sense for what constituents' opinions are," Miller said.
Shortly after the breakfast, the House officially passed a mass transit bill by a 56-39 vote that would provide a $1.3 billion expansion to increase bus service to downtown Indianapolis to be placed on the ballot for voters in Marion and Hamilton counties to consider. That bill was one of the hot topics at the breakfast. Miller said he doesn't think a similar mass transit referendum will be hitting Hendricks County anytime soon.
"I don't think Hendricks County will be involved anytime soon, maybe a decade before we're involved in that sense," he said. "There was an amendment to the bill to allow townships themselves as contiguous to the area as to not involve the whole county. There's no need for residents of North Salem to be subsidizing transit to Plainfield."
Aside from mass transit, education reform and costs took center stage. Behning said the onus is on providing good early childhood education options.
"Our goal is to create high quality education for children in poverty," he said.

---- — HAVERHILL — A distressed and long vacant building in the city's Mount Washington neighborhood may soon spring back to life as a renovated apartment complex for as many as seven families.
Paul Arsenault, who is listed on the proposal as the building's co-owner and contractor, is seeking permission from City Council to convert the building at 12-13 High St. to seven rental apartments. It was formerly a dual-use building with a retail store on the first floor and apartments above, but has been vacant for at least five years, city officials said.
According to city tax records, the property is assessed for $283,000 and is owned by 13 High Street Realty Trust, Kerri Fonduto trustee. City Assessor Stephen Gullo said the property will be reassessed after it is renovated.
Economic Development Director William Pillsbury said the project has the potential to have a positive impact on a impoverished section of the city that is near downtown.
"We see this proposal as an investment in one of our target neighborhoods that's going to upgrade a very visible property," Pillsbury said. "When a private investor wants to fix up a vacant building and bring it back to life, we try to assist them."
Arsenault's proposal says he is open to reserving some of the apartments to low-income renters, but that he hopes to retain the option of converting the units to for-sale condominiums in the future.
According to the proposal, the renovated building will retain its "family-style look" on the front and consist of three, 3-bedroom units and four, 2-bedroom units. It is to include a laundry and storage areas for tenants.
"Please consider our proposal and allow us to make this building an example on how to improve the neighborhood," Arsenault wrote on his application to the council for a special permit. "We would like to continue making Haverhill a great place to live."
The Planning Board has scheduled a public hearing on the plan Oct. 9 and the council is scheduled to consider Nov. 9. Council approval is required for all multi-unit housing projects.

Repaving work for Ferry and Walnut avenues will go to bid in June, the state Department of Transportation said late last week.
The project, slated to cover the roadways from Main Street to Packard Road, will include the repair of about 200 drainage inlets and the installation of signal loop detection at various intersections.
The roads were originally constructed in the 1960s, agency spokeswoman Susan Surdej said, with a 2-inch asphalt overlay added in 1987, with another resurfacing done in 1999.
The grade of the road at several manhole covers will be changed, and the agency notified the Niagara Falls Water Board of the work in case it wanted to buy new manhole covers or make any other repairs to the manholes, Surdej said.

6 'Psycho' Movie Characters We'd Like To See On 'Bates Motel'
I don't know about you guys, but I am beyond stoked for the return of 'Bates Motel' on A&E, which kicks off its 2nd Season on March 3rd. As a die-hard Psycho fanatic (hell, I made a documentary about the entire original franchise), the funnest part of the show for me has been seeing what direction they take this new version of the story. By setting it in modern day and changing a few key aspects from the original movie, they've already created a unique new mythology and universe for these characters to flourish in. And because of that, anything goes!

Wow, I can't believe how good and super easy this was! I've never tried Lawry's marinades until now, but I've always used their seasoned salt in recipes. The marinade makes the chicken so moist when it's cooked on the grill. To save even more time, I had a jar of queso cheese dip in the fridge and all I had to do was warm some of it up in the microwave. Ben doesn't like cheese sauce on top of anything so that was really nice and I could just portion whatever of that I needed to use. The cheese sauce on top of the orzo and chicken almost made me think I was eating some kind of nacho pasta. So delicious. I will definitely make this again, and now I want to try more of Lawry's marinades.
Thank you Plain Chicken, this was an awesome recipe.
Queso Smothered Chicken
- 1 bottle Lawry's Baja Chipotle Marinade
- 4 boneless chicken breasts (without skin or bone i)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons chili powder or Southwestern Seasoning
- 8oz velveeta cheese
- 1 can rotel tomatoes
- 1 cup orzo
|Step 1
|Pour Baja Chipotle Marinade over chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or overnight. When ready, grill chicken until done (165 degrees).
|Step 2
|While the chicken is grilling prepare the orzo.
|Step 3
|Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add orzo. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Stir in Southwestern Seasoning or chili powder, tomato paste and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
|Step 4
|Combine Ro-tel and Velveeta in a medium bowl. Heat on HIGH in the microwave in 30 second intervals until cheese is melted.
|Step 5
|To assemble the Queso Smothered Chicken - place 1/4 of the orzo on a plate, top with grilled chicken. Pour 3-4 Tbsp cheese dip over chicken and orzo.

Noted historian pens biography of Ferry Farm—George Washington's boyhood home—and its three centuries of American history
In 2002, Philip Levy arrived on the banks of Rappahannock River in Virginia to begin an archeological excavation of Ferry Farm, the eight hundred acre plot of land that George Washington called home from age six until early adulthood. Six years later, Levy and his team announced their remarkable findings to the world: They had found more than Washington family objects like wig curlers, wine bottles and a tea set. They found objects that told deeper stories about family life: a pipe with Masonic markings, a carefully placed set of oyster shells suggesting that someone in the household was practicing folk magic. More importantly, they had identified Washington's home itself—a modest structure in line with lower gentry taste that was neither as grand as some had believed nor as rustic as nineteenth century art depicted it.Levy now tells the farm's story in Where the Cherry Tree Grew. The land, a farmstead before Washington lived there, gave him an education in the fragility of life as death came to Ferry Farm repeatedly. Levy then chronicles the farm's role as a Civil War battleground, the heated later battles over its preservation and, finally, an unsuccessful attempt by Wal-Mart to transform the last vestiges Ferry Farm into a vast shopping plaza.

Basically, encryption encodes your information. To steal your information from the Internet, someone must first find your encrypted information packet (which is flying across the Internet at light speed) - then crack the code. Nobody has ever claimed that this has been done. Indeed, if it were possible, the most sensitive information in the world would be available to them - not just your credit card number.
Look at it this way: you probably already transmit your credit card number electronically every day. When you swipe your credit card at the local store, your card information is encrypted and transmitted over a phone network. Using your card on a secure online Web site is very similar - your information is encrypted and then transmitted over a high-speed network line.

TRAVERSE CITY -- The statistics tell a traumatic story.
A U.S. military veteran commits suicide every 65 minutes on the average and about 22 veterans committed suicide each day in 2010, according to federal studies.
Nearly 30 percent of the veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan have post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Fifty percent of those with PTSD do not seek treatment.
Six years ago retired Lt. Col. Linda Fletcher, a local, 22-year Army Nurse Corps veteran, decided to take a deeper look at post-traumatic stress disorder and possible remedies for the increasing number of cases.

There's a point in the preseason where you're just about out of questions.
That point has arrived.
OK, "out of questions" isn't quite right. But "out of new questions about the upcoming season" isn't too far off. Which is why it's good there's an exhibition game in College Park tomorrow.
At that point, it'll be possible to draw some conclusions. For now, the evidence that exists is drawn from intrasquad scrimmages and the team's own comments.
But those have some relevance at this stage.
And so here was today's reaching-for-straws question – whose game is more different now than at the end of last season?
Two guys mentioned by both Eric Hayes and Greivis Vasquez were a pair of juniors, guard Adrian Bowie and forward Dino Gregory.
"Dino's been playing pretty well," Hayes said. "He's been scoring more on the block. he's got a lot more post moves than he did last year. Adrian's been shooting the ball a lot better. He's been making 3s and that's going to make it tougher on the other guys. I don't know how many guys are going to look completely different from their games last year."
Added Vasquez: "I think Sean [Mosley] is playing different, I think Adrian, Eric. I think a lot of us – Dino. Now he can really shoot the middle-range jumper. Two new guys we never had before. I think a lot of things are different."
The Bowie-can-shoot-better storyline will be worth watching this season, since he fared reasonably well the first half of last season before fading.
As for Gregory, some offensive improvement would clearly make him a different – and much more dangerous – player.
"I felt at the end of the year, rebounding-wise [and] defensively, he was as good as we played against in those last three, four games where we played well," coach Gary Williams said. "Offensively, probably he wasn't as good as some of the guys he played against. Now, I hope he can pick up that part of his game where he's reaching that level."

News about Rosneft, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
Reference Material on RosneftRosneft, the state oil company worth an estimated $60 billion, is a beneficiary of the trend toward state control in the industry. Rosneft's largest production asset, Yuganskneftegaz, was taken from Yukos. Rosneft, headquartered in a palace across the Moscow River from the Kremlin, is poised to become the face of Russian oil in large deals going forward, analysts say. The company is entering the Chinese downstream market with a planned network of gas stations. Igor I. Sechin, a loyalist to President Vladimir V. Putin and member of a hard-line faction in the Kremlin known as the siloviki - or men with ties to the secret police or military - is chairman of Rosneft. In spite of the cloak-and-dagger board chairman, chief executive Sergei Bogdanchikov has promised the company will hold an initial public offering in July. ANDREW E. KRAMER (NYT)

Nairobi Travel Guide
Nairobi National Park © Kenya Tourist Office
Nairobi is best characterised by its variety of locally-given descriptive names, representative of the city's contrasting images of wealthy spacious suburbs, charming flower-lined streets and a refreshing climate, alongside crime, corruption, filth and poverty: names like 'Green City in the Sun', 'City of Flowers' and the Masai name 'Place of Cool Waters' attempt to overshadow the all too real version of 'Nairobbery' that stands as a warning to newly arrived tourists.
Nairobi is one of Africa's largest and most interesting cities. It is a place of enormous energy, a tireless and thriving bustle of people, and a city of differences. Assorted races, tribes and origins are all a part of its make-up. Rural immigrants and refugees are drawn by the hope of wealth and opportunity, international businessmen are attracted by profitable business prospects, and tourists are promised the makings of the perfect safari. The city centre buzzes with the energy, aspirations and opportunism of moneychangers, safari touts, would-be thieves, food vendors, trinket sellers, prostitutes, shoppers, security guards, and sharp-eyed shoe shiners assessing the footwear of the hurried throngs. Among them are the disillusioned faces of the unemployed, the beggars and the destitute.
Kenyatta Avenue is the city's favourite tourist image, a broad avenue fringed by trees and flowers that was originally designed to allow a twelve-oxen team to make a full turn. There are several museums and places of interest in the centre, including the National Museum and Snake Park. There are numerous markets selling traditional crafts, especially the appealing Masai market. Just outside of the centre is the Nairobi National Park, and the nearby Bomas of Kenya host performances of traditional dancing and singing. The Langata Giraffe Centre offers visitors the chance to hand-feed the Rothschild giraffes that inhabit the area.
Nairobi is also the safari capital of Africa and a good base for travel in Kenya. From here excursions and safaris can be arranged to any of the national parks or reserves in the country.

10,000 CG iPhone 5's used as dominoes to demonstrate NFC concept technology
Aatma Studio has created a pretty amazing video to demonstrate what NFC technology could do in the iPhone. We aren't talking your typical boring concept video, we're talking 10,000 computer-generated iPhone 5's with a hypothetical NFC chip installed that are knocked over like dominoes passing information from one screen to another.
It's a pretty cool concept, even if it doesn't happen anytime soon. Make sure you watch through until the very end as that's arguably the coolest part of the entire video. The folks at Aatma Studio have been playing around with CG iPhones for years now, including a morphing iPhone/iPad video that was just too cool. These 10,000 iPhone 5's are purely CG, but Aatma has certainly put a lot of thought and effort into the concept and the video. Maybe someday Apple will hope on the NFC bandwagon and they can try it again in real life...

Can't view this on my iphone?
I know. For some reason, the video is stretched out over all the text in the iMore app.
I don't get it, but cool to see it turn to a monitor at the end. I wonder what software they used to make that happen ?
that was cool
I knew from the get-go that it was most definitely some sort of computer graphics. But at the same time, I really wanted to be real!!!! Could you imagine having millions of dollars worth of iPhone 5's at your disposal?!!!!!!
The article states "CG iPhones"
The text displayed before clicking on the article does not state that.
I suspect other readers, like me, read that teaser text to decide whether to click for the full article. If they do click, they skip the text they already read and start "after the jump."
I'm surprised to see that the text was different (at the time I'm posting this, anyway).
Now, I don't see the point, either.
There are some problems to be able to see this through the iphone, but i finally saw it and this is just awesome, by the way, how they got 10,000 iphones?
It's not real. They're cgi'd. The imore teaser text failed to mention this (as of this comment time).
interesting indian name
Nice case, but I prefer the Pong Research  iPhone case . I read that the cell phones emit radiofrequency energy, a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, which can be absorbed by tissues closest to where the phone is held. That's why I investigated ways to cell phone radiation protection. I read about Pong Research cases, Pong technology is custom-designed for each mobile device and works to redirect radiation away from your head and body. I hesitated about it, anyway, I bought a case Pong because is the only technology proven in FCC-certified laboratories to reduce the exposure to mobile device radiation by up to 95% below the FCC limit without compromising the device's ability to communicate.
That was so cool! Now I just want NFC. iPhone 5s anyone? I can't wait for iOS 7, too! If anyone else is looking to get iOS 7 beta, they can from http://udidreg.com. I bought from them, and they let you download iOS 7 beta, before it's released to the public!
