OTTAWA - Health Minister Rona Ambrose is denying that the federal government's proposed marijuana awareness campaign is aimed at Justin Trudeau.
"Telling kids to not smoke pot is not a partisan attack on Justin Trudeau by Health Canada," Ambrose told a news conference Monday on the sidelines of the annual Canadian Medical Association meeting.
"It is a sound public health policy backed by science. Whether pot is legal or illegal, the health risks of marijuana to youth remain the same, and we should all be concerned about them."
It was Trudeau who "made this a political issue," Ambrose said, noting the CMA itself had asked for a marijuana awareness campaign, and Ottawa simply responded to that call.
The Liberal leader lashed out at Conservatives last week over reports that Health Canada has approached three doctors' groups to sign onto an anti-pot advertising campaign directed at youth.
All three — the CMA, the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada — have declined to participate, saying the campaign has become a "political football."
It's not the first Health Canada marijuana awareness campaign aimed at young Canadians. The so-called Drugs Not 4 Me campaign launched in December 2007 and wrapped up in 2012.
Trudeau, however, has suggested the Health Canada move was meant as an attack on his support for legalizing marijuana. The proposed campaign came on the heels of several Conservative cabinet ministers, including Peter MacKay and Julian Fantino, publicly maligning Trudeau's stance.
"We know that Canadian taxpayers are getting extremely frustrated with the fact this government tends to use public money for ads that do more for its partisan aims than for actual public service," Trudeau said.
The health minister also weighed in Monday on the heated debate over medical marijuana, saying Canada's doctors should not feel pressured into prescribing it.
"Health Canada does not endorse the use of marijuana, nor is it an approved drug in this country, nor has it gone through any of the clinical trials that other pharmaceutical products that are approved in this country have gone through," she said.
"The majority of the physician community do not want to prescribe it; they don't want to be put in a situation where they're pressured to prescribe it and I encourage them to not prescribe it if they're not comfortable with it."
The CMA has said Canadian doctors are in a "untenable" position on medical marijuana. Louis Hugo Francescutti, the organization's outgoing president, suggested recently that many people seeking medical weed are simply looking to get legally high.
On Monday, Francescutti said marijuana has not been subjected to the same type of clinical trials that every other drug has. That's a state of affairs that makes doctors uncomfortable, he added.
"Any physician worth their salt wants to know that if they're prescribing 81 milligrams of aspirin, they're getting 81 milligrams of aspirin ... and we know the benefits and we know the side effects," he said, calling for accelerated studies into medical marijuana.
"We're nowhere near that with marijuana."
Elsewhere on the painkiller front, Ambrose announced that the federal government is putting stronger warning labels on extended-release painkillers like OxyContin in an effort to prevent the abuse of opioids.
"Too many people are abusing prescription drugs," Ambrose said in a speech to the conference earlier Monday. "Too many people are suffering and dying as a result."
The new labels emphasize the risks and safety concerns associated with the drugs. They also remove reference to "moderate" pain to clarify opioids should only be used to manage severe pain.
Canada is the second-largest per capita consumer of prescription opioids in the world, behind the United States.
A 2012 study suggests that close to a million young Canadians between the ages of 15 and 24 reported using prescription drugs in the previous 12 months.
The Canadian Alcohol and Drug Use Monitoring Survey also found that 410,000 Canadians said they'd abused prescription drugs like opioid pain relievers, including Demorol and OxyContin; stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall; and tranquilizers and sedatives that include Valium, Ativan and Xanax.
A year ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced safety labelling changes for all extended-release and long-acting opioids intended to treat pain.
David Juurlink, a medical toxicologist at the University of Toronto, said it's "hard to argue" with label changes but added OxyContin and related drugs should have been restricted to patients in severe pain as soon as they came onto the market.
"It's not likely to change how doctors prescribe opioids," he said in an interview. "That horse has bolted."
Ottawa needs to go much further, Juurlink added.
"What we really need are federal initiatives to quantify the toll of opioid misuse, to properly educate doctors about the risk/benefit profile of opioids and perhaps even federal support for an investigation into how these drugs were marketed in Canada," he said.
"That's happening in the United States, and for good reason. Why it's not happening here, I don't know."
Ambrose denied the measures lacked clout.
"Yes, we have work to do with the prescribing community," she said. "Maybe it won't stop a doctor from prescribing an opioid, but perhaps someone might read that label and think: 'Well I don't have severe pain, why am I being prescribed this?'"

KNOXVILLE, TN (Catholic Online) - Just about the time that the demonstrations over the infamous video clip about the prophet Muhammad seem to be dying down, I am reminded of the degradation that Christians suffer in Muslim countries and the hypocrisy of it all.
Ever since the attack on our embassy in Benghazi, Libya and the murder of four Americans on September 11, the news has been flooded with pictures of mobs burning American flags and effigies of President Obama throughout the Muslim world in protest of a video, which we are told hurts the feelings of the Muslim people.
Days after the "Love the Prophet Day" demonstrations in Pakistan, where the largest, most violent, week-long demonstrations occurred, I read a headline article in Asia News that says, "The wave of anti-Christian violence has not stopped in Pakistan. Abuses continue to be perpetrated in the name of the blasphemy law and acts of sexual violence are carried out against underage girls from religious minorities. . . ."
Allah Rakhi is 10 years old. She is from a poor Christian family in Yousafabad, Madina Town, Faisalabad in Pakistan. In late August she went to a store to sell some things. It was there she met Muhammad Nazir. He lured the trusting 10 year old to his house under the pretense that he was interested in buying her things, but the money was at his house. When Allah's father found her, she was unconscious on the floor, naked and bleeding. A porno movie was playing on the television.
The vicar general of the Diocese of Faisalabad, Father Khalid Rashid Asi, said, "The lack of justice in Pakistan means that the rich and powerful think that they can commit such acts and get away with it." If a Muslim girl had been raped, he went on to say, "It is likely that all the Christian homes in the area would have been torched."
According to another Asia News article, about 11:00 A.M. on September 20, 16-year-old Shumaila Masih was walking through the streets of Faisalabad when the Christian girl encountered three young Muslim men: Iftikhar Hussain, Shahid Munir and Muhammad Imran. They tried to get her to go with them but she refused, so they forced her. She cried for help as they dragged her through the streets, but no one helped her. Once they got her to Hussain's house, they took turns raping her until her father and cousins found her hours later and rescued her.
Father Bonnie Mendes, the former Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Justice and Peace for the Church in Pakistan, said she has not gotten justice because of her poverty. Echoing similar sentiments, Father Khalid Rashid noted that "religious minorities and marginalized groups are easy targets for wealthy landowners in rural areas." But Shumaila is not just another statistic to him: "I personally know the victim because I was pastor in that area. They are a very poor family, but rich in the Catholic faith. They deserve justice."
These are not isolated instances. The Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child has documented numerous attacks against children in Faisalabad, Pakistan for the first five months of 2012. The breakdown for some of their statistics is as follows: at least 40 sexual assaults, 14 murders, 22 kidnappings, and six forced marriages.
In addition, when a woman is raped in Pakistan, she can be put in jail for "unlawful sex." Furthermore, her release from jail is contingent upon her agreeing to marry her rapist. To further complicate matters, according to sharia law, it is not lawful for a Muslim to marry a Christian. Therefore, if the victimized woman is a Christian, she must not only be willing to marry her rapist, she must also renounce her faith and convert to Islam.
Christian women and children do not live in peace in Pakistan; they live in fear. Their world is truly a "culture of death." When I read about the rapes of 10-year-old Allah Rakhi and 16-year-old Shumaila Masih at a time when Muslims are demonstrating and attacking American embassies because they claim their feelings have been hurt by a video, I see the height of hypocrisy, and it is evil!
As a Catholic, I believe that God created all people. I also believe that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for our sake. Because of this belief, I see all human beings (born and unborn, rich and poor, Muslim and Christian, as well as disabled, dying and comatose) as having incomparable dignity and worth. All persons have a capacity to receive the gift of eternal life and love.
Thus, I do not hold ill will for the Muslim people. But I can not and will not ignore the hypocrisy and the evil that has been laid bare for all the world to see. I do not believe any decent person can ignore this evil without sacrificing part of their own humanity and their capacity for that which is divine and eternal.
Consequently, I am deeply concerned with the way President Obama has responded to the attacks on our embassies and the demonstrations. Many people have been concerned that by blaming the Libyan-embassy attack on the video and excessively condemning the video in relation to the attack, the President inadvertently helped Islamists use the video as an excuse to cause unrest throughout much of the Muslim world. In the process, the hidden evil associated with persecution and the rape of Christian girls was trivialized.
To make matters worse, according to articles by The Daily Beast and the Associated Press, the American embassy in Libya had been bombed prior to the anniversary of 9-11, and our people asked the State Department for increased security. It was refused. Yet the President repeatedly said the attack on the embassy that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans was caused by the video. It was not. It was almost certainly a premeditated attack by al Qaeda.
Some people are now suggesting that the attack on our embassy in Libya made President Obama's Middle-East policies look bad, so he lied about the attack to provide political cover while campaigning for re-election. When President Obama attacked Libya in order to unseat Muammar Gaddafi, he enabled Islamists to gain a foothold in parts of Libya, including al Qaeda. And it is believed that he either armed some Islamists or allowed them to hijack stockpiles of Gaddafi's armaments. It has even been suggested that these weapons may have been used in the attack on the embassy.
I do not expect the President of the United States to view the world through Catholic eyes, but I do expect him to act within the parameters of objective reality and common decency, and not to put politics or ambition above the lives of innocent children like Allah Rakhi and Shumaila Masih.
As Catholic Americans, we cannot turn our eyes from the hypocrisy and the evil that has been laid bare for us to see. Our brothers and sisters in Christ need our help. And we can give them that help by raising our voices in prayer and by making our voices heard when we vote in November.
Michael Terheyden was born into a Catholic family, but that is not why he is a Catholic. He is a Catholic because he believes that truth is real, that it is beautiful and good, and that the fullness of truth is in the Catholic Church. However, he knows that God's grace operating throughout his life is the main reason he is a Catholic. He is greatly blessed to share his faith and his life with his beautiful wife, Dorothy. They have four grown children and three grandchildren.

void AddElementToList(List thisList , Element toAdd);
and the create user function and the user definition:
typedef struct FacebookUser_t* User;
User CreateUser(char* const lineToSplit);
that's how i call the function:
AddElementToList(thisServer->UsersList , (Element)CreateUser(line));
while debugging the create user function doing good and values assigned to it, just after it return it seems that the object become empty and then at the add element it crushes. that's the return :
return toAdd;
'toAdd' it's User type. What am I doing wrong?

Cute, clean, well-located
This is a very cute, clean and comfortable place in a very handy location. The Adams Morgan neighborhood is so much fun, and a restaurant row with all varieties of coffee houses, foods and prices starts at the corner. Zoo is not far. Buses are at the corner. We had no difficulties, but the owners were very available just in case. We stayed two weeks and loved it.
Chez Amy
Great location, perfect accomodations, I would not hesitate to stay there again. The owners are efficient and organized, all details thought out. Thank you Amy for a wonderful stay! Karin, and daughter Elisa Morro Bay, CA

That I'm not the only person who goes hungry to Costco and accidentally leaves with a 2 lb block of cheese and an extremely large bag of popcorn? Make me feel better — what have you impulse bought there lately? lol
Please tell me…
Under $10 shopping
I was more successful shopping today at CVS and ALDI — can't pass up a $.69 avocado week! At CVS, I did the Blue Diamond almonds deal. They were BOGO at $4.79 at my store, so net $2.37 for both after coupon, tax, and cash back. At ALDI I spent $7.34 on 8 avocados and a 3 lb bag of apples, with $.25 back from Checkout 51 for apples.
Coffee and salad — Ultra Foods shopping of champions
Stopped at Ultra Foods today because we do like this Lavazza coffee. So:
2 Lavazza coffee, $11.98. Used two $3.00/1 coupons from the 3/22 SS.
Minute Maid Pure Squeezed OJ, $3.00. Used $.75/1 printable (no longer available).
2 Fresh Express salad blends, $3.33. Used two exp. $1.00/1 from the Feb. Big Book of Savings from Jewel.
Challenge spreadable butter, $3.00. Used $.75/1 printable coupon (ZIP 27520).
5 lb Idaho potatoes, free with coupon that came in the mail + $25 purchase.
Centrella milk, $1.49 with coupon that came in the mail + $25 purchase.
Strawberries, $.99.
Paid $14.75.
Sure Schick Shopping
I had all sorts of shaving coupons from the magic machine and it's been a long time since we've seen a good Schick Hydro 5 deal, soooo….
Schick Hydro 5 razor, $11.99. Used $3.00/1 from the 2/22 SS.
Schick Hydro 5 refill, $15.99 (tagged $14.99, but hey). Used $3.00/1 from the 2/22 SS and $3.00/1 from the magic machine.
Sure deodorant, $2.00. Used $1.00/1 from the 3/22 SS. (Tried to use a 30% off deodorant CVS coupon, but apparently it was only for regular price even though it didn't say so. I should have assumed, lol.)
Used $4/$25 shaving stuff coupon from the magic machine and $14 in ECB. Paid $4.12 and got back $11 in ECB ($1.00 for Sure and $10 for Schick) for a net cost of $7.12.
Jewel shopping + Boursin price
Stopped by Jewel to pick up my free Redbox. The Boursin cheese dip is priced at $4.99, so two for $3.49 after this coupon stack. I passed.
But while I was there anyway, bought:
2 Streit's macaroons, $5.00. Used $1.50/2 in the March big book of savings.
Goldfish, $.99.
3 clearance Wild Harvest organic beans, $2.22.
Grapes, $1.91.
Ginger, $.19.
Spinach, $.99.
Sugar snap peas, $2.99.
Paid $13.04. Realized I forgot to print the Wild Harvest beans coupon and it's no longer available, oops.
What's the $4.11 at Ultra shopping
Boy do I miss the self checkouts at Ultra. Even though they seem less busy than they used to be, every time I go they have like three lanes open and they are all out into the aisles… well… bread, given that this is the weird Ultra layout.
So anyway, I was driving by Ultra and decided to stop in and check their Redbox since I have a free code. Nothing there for us (and my beautiful dairy clearance section seems to have completely disappeared?), but I did get two bananas ($.40), two bottles Mott's juice ($1.00 each after exp. $1.00/1 in the 1/11 SS2) and two clearance packs of thick cut Farmland pork chops ($1.46 after attached store coupons and $3.00/2 manufacturer tearpad). That's $4.11, all together.
More CVS hair color shopping — Sorry, colOUR!
Also stopped by CVS today — they sent me a daylight savings time $6/$30 coupon in email, so how can you pass up the chance to use that? Plus, we needed milk!
2 Halls cough drops, $3.00. Used $1.00/2 from the 2/8 SS, and will get back $1.00 from Checkout 51.
Dean's milk, $2.99. Used $.50/1 from the magic machine (price scanner) and already got back $.25 on Ibotta.
York peppermint pattie, $1.19. Will get $1.19 back on SavingStar.
Physicians Formula mascara, $9.99. Used $3.00/1 from the magic machine.
2 John Frieda hair colour, $24.00. Used $3.00/2 from the 3/1 SS.
Used the $6/$30 email coupon and $25.87 in ECB. Paid $3.94 and got back $14 in ECB ($1.00 milk, $1.00 cough drops, $7.00 Physicians Formula, $5.00 hair color) for a net cost of $15.81. Will get back another $1.00 from Checkout 51, $.25 from Ibotta, and $1.19 from SavingStar, making my final net cost $13.37.
$10 at ALDI shopping
Did you ever have one of those mornings where everything takes 10x longer than it should? The ALDI portion of mine was at least mercifully quick, though. The above came to $9.99 — I have another one of those pork roasts from when they were cheap at Jewel a couple of weeks ago, so am thinking I'll make another batch of carnitas because they were soooo good the first time around.
Did you hit the Big Lots friends & family 20% off sale today?
Did you stop by the Big Lots 20% off sale today? I forgot til about 4:30 today — stopped by looking for gluten free pancake mix (gone!), but here are a few gluten free highlights from my trip:
- Glutino hazelnut wafers, $.80.
- Snyder's gluten free mini pretzels, $2.20.
- Goldbaum crisbites sea salt crackers, $1.60.
- Black quinoa, $2.80.
- Enjoy Life crunchy flax cereal, $1.04.
Pick up anything good at yours?
Money making CVS shopping and free toothpaste for all
I got a $3/$10 toothpaste coupon from the magic machine, so decided to head back to CVS and play with this week's Colgate deals. Here's one that is great even if you don't have the $3/$10:
- Spend $10 on these Colgate products get $5 ECB limit 2. Colgate Optic White paste 3-3.5 oz, rinse 8 oz, brush 1 ct, $3.99. Colgate sensitive 6 oz, Enamel Health paste 4-5.5 oz, Total paste, rinse, Floss-Tip, or Enamel Health brush 1 ct (excludes multipacks).
This sale turns out to include the new Colgate Optic White Express White 3 oz tubes and the Colgate Optic White Platinum 3.4 oz tubes. So:
- Buy five for $19.95.
- Use five $2.00/1 from the 2/22 SS and $2.00/1 printable on Coupons.com. Note: The insert coupon includes both Express White and Platinum, while the printable is only for Express White. Both are limit four "like" coupons per day, so mix/match to get up to five with "unlike" printables + insert qs.
- Pay $9.95 with $10 ECB back for a net cost of free for five tubes of fancy paste.
If you can't get five coupons:
- Buy three for $11.97.
- Use three $2.00/1 coupons = $5.97.
- Get back $5.00 ECB for a net cost of $.97 for all three, or $.32 each.
My trip with my $3/$10 CVS coupon.
Five Colgate Optic White, $19.95. Used five $2.00/1 coupons and the $3.00/$10.00 CVS store coupon.
Reese's Egg, $.87.
Paid with $3.00 ECB and $6.29. Got back $10.87 ECB ($10 for Colgate and $.87 for candy) for a net cost of: Up $1.58 this transaction. The way I figure, I'll give away most of the paste and just keep whittling away at the net cost of the hair colour — which is what I really wanted today. Check your magic machine coupons to see if you can make this a money maker too, since they print oral care ones pretty often.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! If you're planning to buy one of Google's signature Nexus 7 tablets, you might want to hold off for a while. Various reports are circulating that many retail stores now have the 32GB Nexus 7 in stock, but were instructed not to sell them until Oct. 29. At least a few people have, however, been able to snag the device. As The Verge pointed out yesterday, Staples sold a 32GB Nexus 7 to one lucky customer. The 32GB Nexus 7 will sell for $250 while the 16GB model will drop to $200. Essentially, customers are getting an upgrade on storage without any additional cost. My guess is that the 8GB will eventually be phased out. The move to upgrade the devices was likely done to keep the Nexus 7 competitive going into the holiday season. Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire HD 16GB and 32GB models also retail at the same prices. Photo via Jennifer Van Grove/VentureBeat VentureBeat is studying email marketing.

Ball jars in the freezer
Is it safe to use Ball wide mouth, quart jars in the freezer? I called their their 1-800 # and was told that the jars that work best in the freezer are the ones with the straight sides...ie:120z jelly jars. I am trying to use up my overflow of tomatoes by making both sun dried tomatoes and pasta sauce. I plan to get into the whole canning process next season. But, for now, as far as the sauce goes, I hope to freeze what I have. Have any of you had problems with breakage when using Ball jars in the freezer? Thank you
There is no problem using the wide mouth jars in the freezer. If the contents expands it will spill over the top of the jar. I leave 1-1/2 inch head-space for expansion. If you were to use standard mouth the contents would not make it over the shoulder and the jar may break. I like to use plastic wrap and a rubber band at least until it is frozen solid. Then replace with a regular top. Walmart sells the replaceable plastic top which work great.
Hi Shirley, thank you for responding to my question. The wide mouth quart jars that I have do have a slight shoulder to them. Do you think it would help to avoid the expansion/breaking issue by freezing them on a slight slant? I hope to freeze each jar with about 3 1/2 cups of sauce. That will allow enough head room and be well below the shoulders of the jar. I had not thought of using plastic wrap with a rubber band trick...very good idea, thanks. I'll also look for the plastic tops at Walmart.
Thanks again.
I was thinking of the wide mouth pint jars. They are totally straight sided, maybe even a slight outward slant. The wide mouth quarts do have the shoulder. Try the 3/4ths full. I'm sure it will work. The sauce will be solid but not as solid as plain water would be if you were to freeze it. If you do the rubber-band thing, you won't have to place a lid on top. I freeze things in plastic tubs that have no lids and do the rubber-band thing. It works.
Sooey, I have used a quart size narrow mouth to freeze orange juice (I have a couple of juice orange trees). I only used one since I want them out for canning, and I was using recycled Gatorade bottles for the orange juice. So from and experiment of one, it worked great.
For tomatoes I freeze directly without peeling and using zip lock bags. I have also made tomato sauce using the seasonings I wanted (italian style, mexican salsa, indian tomato curry) and putting the sauce in zip lock bags (both quarts and gallon0 after waiting for the sauce to cool down.
I've also used the ball wide mouth jars and occasionally a regular sized quart jar to freeze home pressed apple cider. I had one break last year, but I've been doing it for years. Most of the old boxes of jars say "canning and freezing" right on them.
I do leave a couple of inches of headspace, incidentally.
Last year I froze a bunch of chicken soup in 12-ounce standard-mouth jars. Even though they had a definite shoulder and the soup was fairly thick, there was no problem with breakage because of expansion at the neck.
But I DID lose a couple of jars to thermal shock---the bottoms freezing faster than the tops. They were in my deep freeze, sitting on one of the shelves that has cooling tubes in it, and two of them had their bottoms + about an inch shorn off quite neatly when I took 'em out.
So I've gone back to plastic containers for the deep freeze.
Have occasionally frozen a jar or two of stuff in the ordinary fridge freezer and not had a problem.
Hope this helps!
I broke some jars of Shirley's veg cocktail in the freezer. I had already bought stuff to make it when I realized I had never bought the weights to convert my dial gauge canner, so I decided to freeze it for a week. Sad lesson.
Do you guys think it would be safe to keep the juice from the broken jars? They seem to have clean cracks, they're not shattered, but since the juice is a little pulpy I don't want to filter it. What would you do?
If you'd keep it, would it be safer/easier to get it out of the glass before or after thawing? I think I could remove the glass from the outside while they're still frozen, if it's cracked enough.
I was wondering how it would have room to expand once it had already started hardening under the shoulders, but I just assumed you could freeze in any container with the right headspace. Duh.
I freeze only in glass. The wide mouth quarts have given me trouble even when I leave quite a bit of head space. I have given up on the wide mouth quarts.
The wide mouth pints are not a problem.
For larger quantities I use the Pyrex 6 and 11 cup rectangular glass storage containers. They are space efficient in the freezer because of their shape.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pyrex 11 cup freezer safe glass
i have a freezer full of ball pint and quart jars. , both wide and regular mouth. always leave plenty of headroom. the regular pint jars are for milk, filled to the top of the gripper lines. semi-solids like roasted tomatoes aren't a problem. for tomato juice i freeze in wide mouth qts.,half full, then add more cold juice. i also freeze everything cold from the fridge, then to the fridge freezer, which is not as cold as the chest freezer. then i thaw stepwise in reverse. all this may help reduce breakage. sometimes i'll thaw jars in a container of water filled to equal the jar's contents, in the fridge, or at room temp if i need it that day. what are disappointing are the new wide mouth 24 oz. jars, which the ball website does not label as freezer safe !
dear canology, interesting moniker, since this reply is about the study of plastics, and it doesn't look good !
first,excuse me for injecting some heaviness into a fairly lighthearted post.
i'll agree that plastic containers are more convenient. but that is not the whole picture. there are several or more studies that point in a frightening direction. i won't be surprised if it's learned that the obesity epidemic is caused not just by diet and lack of exercise, but by what our parents and grandparents used in daily life. there's no hiding from all the "un-natural" thousands of compounds made, but i choose not to put my food in them, or microwave or cook with them . of course, how glass is made is probably not the same as 100 years ago. but that's digging too deeply even for me !
here's one paper to refer to. plastic or glass ? your choice.

Nebraska raids Ohio for defensive end
Posted by Bryan Fischer
As soon as Nebraska's move to the Big Ten was announced, many thought that the Huskers would begin to recruit the state of Ohio heavily as they distanced themselves from the Big 12 and their pipeline from the state of Texas. While the program will still try to maintain ties to the South, with a weakened Ohio State and head coach Bo Pelini's ties to Ohio, it appears that Nebraska might end up making a dent in the state sooner rather than later.
"I committed to Nebraska," Akron (Ohio) defensive end Greg McMullen told HuskersIllustrated.com Thursday night. "I actually did it a few days ago, but I try to stay out of the media.
"I talked to the defensive coordinator and the defensive line coach. I'm going to call Coach Pelini tonight."

Kalis decommits from Ohio St., others to follow?
Posted by Bryan Fischer
Ohio State recruitniks have been bracing for bad news ever since the resignation of coach Jim Tressel and lingering questions about the school's NCAA infractions case continued to surface. Things might have gone from bad to worse Tuesday night as Kyle Kalis, the only Top 100 member in the Buckeyes' 2012 class, decommitted and re-opened his recruitment.
"I did speak to (interim coach) Luke Fickell minutes ago, and I told him I was de-committing from Ohio State," Kalis told Scout. "I want to keep all my options open, and will consider several programs going forward, including Ohio State. That's really all I want to say about my recruitment at this time."The 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman holds scholarship offers form Alabama, Iowa, LSU, Notre Dame and Wisconsin among others. He is planning a visit to Michigan this week and, given that the Wolverines have been cleaning up on the recruiting trail lately, that has to make some of the Buckeye faithful a little uneasy.
Kalis is friends with defensive end and Michigan commit Tom Strobel, and he'll likely be in Kalis' ear about what to do while he's in Ann Arbor (like, say, committing to the Maize and Blue). With the decommitment, Ohio State currently sits at eight verbal commitments.
But Kalis isn't the only Ohio State commitment thinking about decommitting. Canton (Ohio) running back Bri'onte Dunn has been on shaky ground ever since Tressel's resignation was announced, and his comments have not been reassuring for Ohio State coaches.
Although some players in the recruiting class seem to be on solid footing with the program, they will no doubt be receiving plenty of attention from opposing coaches. With even Michigan State jumping in on some good Ohio talent this recruiting class, it could be a long road to Signing Day for the Buckeyes.

Washington Nike Camp Notebook
Posted by Bryan Fischer
SEATTLE – The 13th and final stop on the annual Nike Training Camp schedule made it's way back to the Northwest, and plenty of elite talent came out to Husky Stadium to compete. While these events are typically a time for the skill-position players to impress, the offensive linemen were actually the ones who stole the show.
Puyallup (Wash.) offensive tackle Joshua Garnett showed why he was a Top 100 prospect by flat-out dominating the opposition.
"I'm just happy to be out here, glad to get the MVP today," Garnett said. "Definitely glad I didn't lose any one-on-ones, the only lineman that didn't lose any. Went over to the defensive side of the ball and won three of the four reps on defensive line, felt pretty good about that. Definitely showed my athleticism on both sides of the ball."
Garnett wasn't the only top offensive lineman in attendance. One of his good friends, Top 100 tackle Zach Banner, also participated. While the two play the same position and therefore didn't really go head-to-head, Garnett had no problem mentioning that he won the MVP award.
"Oh yeah, it felt good," Garnett said. "He likes to talk a lot, he's a little louder than I am if you guys didn't notice. I'm definitely a little more calm, more mellow. I think it's good to come out and show people my talent. Just because I'm not 6-9, 350, I can still play and do the same exact stuff.
"When we go out in public, people say, 'Jeez, is that Zach Banner?' then we'll come out here in the drills and they'll see my athleticism. I'm not saying he's not, but he did allow some guys to go inside. Definitely I think it's good to come out here and show the difference."
The pair are so close that as recruiting has taken off, they've been able to talk and bounce ideas off each other. One idea many observers have floated is that the two are a package deal, and Garnett does not shy away from the fact that the two might end up at the same school.
"We're definitely going to be looking at the same schools, we're good friends," he said. "We're going to look at the same schools just because of that chemistry we have together.
"Looking at Zach's list, there's going to be a couple schools that aren't going to be on (my list), probably about three or four of them. Me and Zach have different goals going to college. I'm really big into the football, don't get me wrong I want to play football, but I'm going to be looking into medical school and looking more at a pre-med program than I am a football power. I know I can can go to Florida or Miami or any SEC school, but I want to look at my life past if I played in the NFL."
The 6-foot-5, 300-pounder is ranked 43rd in the country for the class of 2012 by MaxPreps. The four-star prospect is focused on life off the field as much as he is on it when it comes to recruiting. The biggest thing he's looking for is a program that allows him to succeed on the field while also preparing him for a career in medicine. Coincidentally, there was a top school across the street from where he was performing Sunday.
"U-Dub, obviously they have a great medical school," Garnett said. "No. 1 medical school in the nation, so I'll definitely talk to some of the biology teachers and stuff. I'm definitely looking at U-Dub hard, and it helps them an awful lot having this medical school right next to it.
"Next week me and my dad are planning on going down to Stanford and Cal. My uncle lives close to Pasadena, in Upland, so we're going to go to UCLA and 'SC just to see those schools."
Garnett holds more than 30 scholarship offers from powerhouses across the country, but at least two West Coast programs are sticking out as recruiting him the hardest.
"SC is coming after me hard, and so is Cal-Berkley, probably the hardest," Garnett said.
Banner narrows list, impresses at Nike Camp
While Garnett is the athletic tackle that coaches look for, Lakewood (Wash.) offensive tackle Zach Banner is the mammoth left tackle prototype that has coaches drooling over his 6-foot-8, 320-pound frame. He performed well Sunday and left no doubts that he was an elite college recruit.
"I feel like I did good, I came out here and worked my tail off," Banner said. "I got invited to The Opening and it's all a blessing. Me and Josh are going to go down there together. We've been working our tails off this whole spring and summer, and it's paying off for us. I know it's paying off for me, and coaches are seeing it."
Like his good friend Garnett, Banner enjoys some healthy competition and felt the camp setting brought out the best in the both of them, even if he wasn't the one taking home the MVP award.
"Definitely. Even though we play the same position, we both come out to prove that we're the best," Banner said. "It's always friendly competition, and we'll go back and laugh at it."
On a strong year for West Coast linemen, Banner stands out literally and figuratively. Ranked 12th overall in the class of 2012, he has no problem answering who is the top offensive lineman in the state, much less the country.
"Yes, yes I do," he said, confirming he was the state's top dog. "You think about it, me and Josh, we're best friends. If they were a defensive end or someone who played across from me, then it would be pure battle. Not only do we play the same position, but we work out together, we're good friends, we're getting recruited by the same person.
"We care about getting better, and I know, for sure, both of us got better today."
On the recruiting front, Banner holds offers from just about every school in the country and has started the process of narrowing things down.
"I gave out my top nine earlier this week and in no particular order, it's U-Dub, Oregon, Notre Dame, Michigan, Alabama, USC, LSU, Florida State and Oklahoma," he said. "I'm just narrowing it down as we go. I'm about to go into my senior year, so you have to do it sooner rather than later and I just felt like the nine, I'm not cutting anybody off.
"I'm going to narrow it down to a top five in December. I'll take all five of my official visits. No unofficials scheduled, but I do have two officials scheduled ... Michigan on Sept. 10 for the Notre Dame game and I'll be there all weekend for those two days. Then Notre Dame on Oct. 21 and 22 for the USC game. They're both good, and Michigan's game is the first night game there ever and the Notre Dame game will be the first night game in like 25 years. "
Husky commits have friendly competition
Banner and Garnett were not the only players who had a healthy competition going. The two quarterbacks committed to the University of Washington, Denver signal caller Cyler Miles and Mercer Island (Wash.) quarterback Jeff Lindquist, both threw well this weekend as a preview of what's to come over the next four or five years for the Huskies.
"A little bit I guess," Miles said when asked about the competition. "He's a cool guy, and I've got a lot of respect for him. He's a great quarterback, and I like him a lot. It's going to be fun. We're going to make each other better and wherever you go, there's going to be quarterbacks so it will be a good competition."
"I met him today, so it was nice to get that relationship started," Lindquist said. "In terms of competition, it was more of a friendly competition and trying to make each other better. There was no dirty mouthing or anything like that."
The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Miles enjoyed meeting Lindquist and several other future Washington teammates, who he ended up throwing to on a few occasions once he was warmed up.
"I felt I did all right, I was a little rusty at first," he said. "It was good to interact with all the guys, a couple of whom have already committed just like me, so it was good to just hang with them. It was nice to see where I'm going to be at the next four years."
The overcast skies forced the organizers to turn on the lights at Husky Stadium which was fine by Miles. The experience of playing on the turf and throwing into the end zone with big Washington lettering was a nice experience for him.
"It was nice, big old stadium with about 75,000 ...," Miles trailed off, thinking about playing on the field in a few years. "It's great, though, to picture myself here next year and the year after that. It's exciting and something to look forward too."
Miles pulled the trigger on a commitment to Washington just a few weeks ago in large part because of the relationship he developed with the coaching staff there.
"I just love the relationships the coaches have with the players," he said. "It's a good fit for me because of the offense. I love the Pac-12 and the coaches, they were the ones most sincere with me, my mom and dad. I just felt like this fit me best."
With two quarterbacks in the fold for 2012, both are continuing to spread the gospel about the Pac-12 program and trying to recruit a few others for the upcoming class.
"I'm trying to get Garrnett and Banner," Miles said. "I'm just talking to them a little bit, at the end it's their choice. I'd love for all of them to come here and help build this program as it's rising up."
"We'll probably get that coordinated," Lindquist said of the two tackles. "We'll chip in here and there. I don't want to annoy them, but we'll get in a word here and there."
Neal impresses once again
Scottsdale (Ariz.) athlete Davonte Neal is no stranger to the camp circuit. He's performed at both the LA and Stanford Nike Camps among others, and he surprisingly showed up in Seattle, hungry to improve his game.
"I felt I did good, but there's still some things I could work on," Neal said. "I'm never satisfied, I'm always hungry and try and stay humble and keep working."
Neal's father, who handles all of his recruiting, showed up to watch his son in a UCLA sweatshirt on the chilly day. The younger Neal made sure to remind everybody that his dad was just trying to adjust to the weather, which was just a little bit different from the triple-digit heat at home.
"No, no, no, no indication at all, it's just to keep warm, that's all," he said. "That's why he's wearing that and I'm wearing it and I have a Nike sweater on."
The 5-foot-9, 170-pound athlete showed off his athleticism all day and played at a high level at both receiver and corner. Schools are recruiting him at both, but Neal has no preference where he'll play at the next level.
"I feel comfortable at both positions," he said. "If they want to put me at receiver, I'll play receiver; if they put me at corner, I'll play corner. It doesn't matter, I just want to get on the field. Either/or, it doesn't matter to me. They're recruiting me as both. Some as receiver, some as corner. It just depends on where they want me to play."
Neal holds offers from more than 25 schools but plans on pushing all his official visits and a decision until after the football season.
"There is no list," he said. "There's only undecided. A lot of people are recruiting me heavily. They're all really pushing hard, but I just let my dad handle the recruiting and I just play football.
"I'm just relaxing until after my senior season. ... I'll take all five officials, but I'm just going to do them all after the season when I have a lot of free time."
Led by quarterback and Texas commit Connor Brewer, Neal is focused on helping Chaparral High, ranked No. 24 in the country by Maxpreps, to success yet again in his senior season.
"We're going to be good. Hopefully we'll get that three-peat," Neal said. "That's going to be on our shirts."
-- One of the players who Neal frequently battled against -- on both sides of the ball -- was Lakewood (Wash.) athlete Cedric Dozier. The two would have one rep where Neal was the receiver and Dozier playing the press corner, and then they'd flip around. Their match-up was pretty even, and Dozier felt it helped him improve his all-around game.
"I did all right for the most part," Dozier said. "I competed with a lot of good players from all over, and it really forced me to step up. There's competition and you've got to play. I didn't come here just to play no nobodies. You've got to come out here to play. There's people from all over that's really good, and that means you have to step up."
Dozier said he's completely open as to what school he'll attend, but Cal and Washington are recruiting him the hardest. He'll likely make a decision after the season.
-- Washington commit Michael Rector made his pledge public just a few days before the camp and, it turns out, there was a reason for making a commitment earlier than he had originally planned.
"At first my parents and I wanted to wait until July or after school," he said. "With a new receiver (Dwayne Washington) committing too, they were only going to take two, so we thought about it the day before school was out and thought it wasn't too soon to make the decision."
Rector tried to hook up with the two Husky quarterbacks as much as he could while at the camp in order to start developing timing before any of them even stepped on campus for college.
"It was fun," he said. "We got together whenever we could and ran routes and stuff. We like it a lot, and we're looking forward to it."
The most impressive quarterback at the event was not the pair of commitments to Washington but rising junior Max Browne. He impressed earlier this year at the Stanford Elite 11 and recently picked up an offer from Clemson. He grabbed the MVP award and displayed a very strong arm, fluid motion and was able to make all the throws. Lefty Matt Morin, also a regular on the camp circuit, also impressed.
-- Everett (Wash.) running back Keivarae Russell took home running back MVP honors and showed the ability to get into and out of breaks very quickly. Seattle cornerback Jayshawn Jordan won the defensive back award and performed well, playing his man and the ball closely.

Pittman makes Father's Day pledge to Michigan St.
Posted by Bryan Fischer
Things are just a little different in Midwest recruiting for the class of 2012. One Big Ten power, Michigan, has a new head coach who hasn't coached a game in Ann Arbor and another, Ohio State, faces the very real possiblity of NCAA sanctions thanks to a still-developing case.
While it has mostly been the Wolverines who have been able to build up some momentum on the recruiting trail, their in-state rival Michigan State is picking up steam as well and building a very good class. The Spartans added to it with a major verbal pledge Sunday afternoon in Canton (Ohio) defensive end Se'Von Pittman, who made a surprising Father's Day commitment.
"It was great getting the decision out of the way because now I can focus on other things, like my senior season," Pittman told SpartanMag.com. "What made me commit to Michigan State was Coach (Pat) Narduzzi and Coach (Mark) Dantonio. They're great coaches and I wanted to be a part of something like that, and just the fact that I wanted to be different. I wanted to go there and make my own name and be Se'Von Pittman at Michigan State."
Ranked 63rd overall in the class of 2012 by MaxPreps, Pittman is planning on enrolling early in school and going through spring drills. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder is also planning on being a leader from the moment he steps on campus as the Spartans look to build off their best season in decades in 2011.
"I really think the program is a big thing," he said. "I really think with me being there, we can really get a Big Ten Championship, maybe even a BCS. Right now we got the coaches, we just need more players."
Michigan State was the choice for Pittman over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State among others. The four-star player is the first defensive lineman in the program's class of 2012, which currently sits at six commitments.
As a junior last year, Pittman had roughly 100 tackles and six sacks.

SEC changes tune, says no more oversigning
Posted by Bryan Fischer
Oversigning. Roster Management. Initial counters. Transfers. Those were some of the buzz words as the SEC wrapped up their annual spring meetings this week in Destin, Florida (CBSSports.com colleague Brett McMurphy has been covering the meetings on his blog). Oversigning, a topic that has been debated at length in the media coming into the meetings, was expected to be one of the things the league actually took action on and that they did Friday afternoon.
The SEC presidents voted to approve several proposals that will be adopted league-wide immediately, with several expected to be forwarded for possible adoption by the NCAA. The most noteworthy of the proposals was reducing the annual cap on signees from 28 to 25. Several schools, such as Florida and Georgia, had already been abiding by the lower limit.
Current NCAA rules permit schools to take 25 "initial counters" per year (high school players who enroll at a school for the first time are considered an initial counter) but schools can sign up to 28 players to a letter of intent to take into account players who do not qualify academically.
Several SEC coaches developed a reputation of being notorious oversigners. Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt signed 38 players in 2009 (though fewer than 25 actually enrolled in school), prompting the currrent limit of 28 signees that commonly became known as 'The Houston Nutt Rule.' All 12 of the league's coaches were also at the meetings this week and voted to keep the limit at 28 but were overturned by the presidents, who voted 12-0 in favor of the new rule.
The 25 signee limit is just one of several that will change the way the SEC (and possibly others in the future) recruits. Other new rules were adopted to address the number of signees, how players are counted when they enroll and having the league office oversee all medical scholarship exemptions. The conference also eliminated an exception allowing graduate students to transfer and not have to sit out a year. This rule will not start until October, allowing transfers considering SEC schools to still enroll without a penalty, such as former N.C. State quarterback Russell Wilson.
"You should stay at our institutions long enough to have the type of academic experience that you expect student-athletes to have," Slive said. "You shouldn't solely transfer in for an athletic experience."
All of the talk and actual change that came about in Destin this week is a remarkable turnaround for the conference. Last year the conference pushed through legislation related to how to count incoming players that essentially created a loophole to the 28 man limit and other changes related to counting financial aid. It was just two years ago that the SEC submitted the 28 signees limit to the NCAA membership, which was subsequently accepted and made a national rule.

Recruits stick with Ohio State despite Tressel
By MaxPreps' Jarrod Ulrey
Among the members of the 2012 recruiting class who already have made verbal commitments to play football for Ohio State, there seemed to be one overriding characteristic to their feelings in the days that have followed Jim Tressel's resignation May 30: Ohio State is still Ohio State.
That was among the comments Upper Arlington (Columbus, Ohio) junior wide receiver Frank Epitropulous made on his Facebook page on Memorial Day afternoon, a little longer than a month after he first committed.
His father, John Epitropoulos, who played for the Buckeyes during the late 1970s, said May 31 that his son had no other comment than his statement on Facebook which read: "Thanks Coach Tressel for giving me the opportunity to play at OSU. You will be missed. Ohio State is still Ohio State and I'm still a Buckeye. Go Bucks!"
Similar sentiments rang from many of the other eight members of Ohio State's 2012 recruiting class.
Just two days after the Columbus Dispatch reported that sources encouraged Tressel to resign amid the mounting pressure, a pending NCAA disciplinary hearing and new revelations about the culture of the program, the Buckeyes nailed down a new recruit.
Tyvis Powell of Bedford told various news outlets June 1 that he had chosen to play for Ohio State over Michigan State, West Virginia and Syracuse. He announced the commitment on the front steps of his high school.
Since early December, the only other recruits Ohio State has added have been Epitropoulos and St. Ignatius (Cleveland) tight end Blake Thomas, who verbally committed May 17. Twelve other Ohio residents, meanwhile, have committed to play for schools in the Big Ten or SEC since that time.
"I knew eight years ago I wanted to play for Ohio State," Powell said. "I'm not going to take my talents out of state. I'm going to play for coach (Luke) Fickell."

Facebook Denies Disputed Page To Both Mercks 210
from the virulent-pox-on-both-your-houses dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Fantastic, so now Facebook has the right of determining valid trademarks, on top of all the personal data it collects
It's is Facebook's namespace (and you can have on too, right now, if you want). They get to decide whether or not trademarks are even relevant within this namespace, let alone top priority at the expense of all other concerns. Why would it be anyone else's decision?
Just because some random arbitrary private namespace out there happens to get popular, doesn't mean the rest of society needs to "officially" recognize it, legitimize it, adopt it, regulate it, or take it seriously. It's just a pathname component in someone's website, and it's their site, just like a hypothetical "Apple" directory on my computer which contains a file called "Disney" is my file in my directory on my computer, and no one else deserves
When today's fools finally learn this, then they won't be afraid of new TLDs, BTW.
And what would you do, then? It's not like it can magically decide which of the two companies you want to see when you input the URL.
I'd do what Wikipedia does, turn it into a disambiguation page, listing all relevant pages.
Neither of the Merck companies bought it, so it belongs to FaceBook. And the terms&conditions when registering the name includes provisions for not infringing others trademarks, and for Facebook to take back the URL for breaching the T&Cs.
Facebook is doing the sensible thing here. The company names are distinguishable - Merck KGaA and Merck and Co. Given that neither is called just "Merck", it makes sense to make them use distinguishable pages, probably with their full company name.
Better yet is if Facebook could put a page at FaceBook/Merck with links to both companies new vanity URLs.
An optimist believes we live in the best world possible; a pessimist fears this is true.

At the end of April 2013, the Rev Rachel Mann, author of Dazzling Darkness: Gender, sexuality, illness and God, gave the 5th Annual St Anselm Lecture, on the topic of social media and faith, at St Anselm Hall, University of Manchester.
Asserting that "We are in danger of losing what the ecumenical spirit is all about," historical theologian and longtime British ecumenical activist, the Rev Dr Keith Clements, has argued that people and churches need to rediscover the essential "ecumenical dynamic" at the heart of the movement.
"Media, Faith and State post-Leveson" is the theme of a panel discussion on Tuesday 19 March 2003 in the Martin Hall, Edinburgh University School of Divinity, New College, Mound Place, Edinburgh, EH1 2LX.
A live performance, followed by a discussion, on the Life and Work of John Donne will take place at 4.15pm, Thursday 14 March 2013. Martin Hall, New College, the University of Edinburgh, EH1 2LX. The show is entitled 'The Monarch of Wit: a celebration of the life and mind of John Donne'.
A senior Christian theologian of religious plurality, Dr S. Wesley Ariarajah, has elaborated on central assertions of his new book 'Your God, My God, Our God' in a conversation facilitated at the Ecumenical Centre, Geneva.
As in previous years, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI), the official ecumenical body for the churches in England, Scotland, Wales and both jurisdications in Ireland, is encouraging local study groups to meet and share their stories. Simon Barrow reports.
Jill Segger reviews Rachel Mann's account of her journey through gender dysphoria, sexuality and chronic illness from "a false self and a false God" towards wholeness.
At least once a year, many Christians become aware of the great diversity of ways of honouring God. Hearts are touched, and people realize that their neighbours' ways are not so strange - says the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches.
While over half of Americans claim to be Christian, the number of the unaffiliated has increased from 14 million in 1990 to 34 million in 2008. A new book explores the boundaries between belief and unbelief in a changing culture.
Bernadette Meaden reviews the book that many radical Christians have been waiting for. It shows, she says, how spirituality can be a unifying, liberating force, and how looking at the world from a Jesus perspective can be joyful and life-enhancing.

Replace Bermuda with Fescue
I live accross the street to a golf course with Bermuda fairways. My lawn is Fescue however I have some small patches of Bermuda. Do I need to kill the Bermuda or could I overseed these areas with Fescue this fall or what should I do?
You need to kill the Bermuda. If it is not to big you can dig it out. If you dig you will need to go 8-12 down to get it all. I just dug up a few areas to about six inches and the Bermuda is coming back. Very little but some. If you miss just a tiny root with a node it will come back.
The easiest way is Glyphosate (RoundUp). First put some fertilizer on it to get it healthy and then spray it with the Glyphosate. Once it's dead keep the area watered so that anything that wasn't completely dead will green up and spray that again. Getting it good and healthy before spraying the weed killer allows the bermuda to pull the weed killer down into the roots. The only way to get rid of bermuda is to kill the roots.
After the first round up treatment and the bermuda is completely dead mow it as low as the mower will go and bag if possible. Then begin watering to see if anything greens up. If it does, spray it again. I would do the first treatment a month before you reseed.
The best time to plant fescue depends on where you are in NC. Mountains would be mid August, central NC would be late August to early September and the coast is mid to late September. Once the daytime temps start cooling off is ideal.
Actually, you're in a no win situation. Bermuda is a stubbornly aggressive grass and will eventually take over, regardless of your efforts. Fescue doesn't stand a chance, especially with a golf course in the neighborhood.
Surrender and acceptance will save you plenty of time, money, and frustration in the end.
Or you can fight it forever...your choice.
You want to fertilize it before you spray it with weed killer. Give the fertilizer 2 to 3 weeks to really kick in and then water the bermuda really good a day or two before spraying the weed killer. If done right the bermuda should be completely dead in about a week or so. That's when you scalp it and then begin watering it often. Anything that wasn't completely dead from the first treatment should start greening up within 2 weeks.
A couple tips on the glyphosate, buy either the Eliminator brand at Walmart or the GroundWorks brand at Tractor Supply. Both of these are cheaper and IMO work better than Round Up. Round Up has something in it that kills the grass quick which you don't want. The two brands I listed don't have it which will allow the bermuda to pull it into the roots. Sure, you won't see results in a day but you will get a better kill. Also, add some dish detergent in with it to help it stick to the grass blades. This really makes a huge difference in how well it works.
