by Monty Python's Flying Circus
Publisher:Methuen Publishing Ltd
Python had such a strong visual component it might be thought that just reading the scripts would be a denuded sort of experience, even with a 12-page insert of photos in the middle. But, in fact, the reverse is true: Going straight through this volume, quite apart from being actively hilarious, also reminds you just how well- written many of these sketches are. The 1970s was a period of a great deal of self-important dramatic and theatrical writing in this country but how many playwrights from that period, and how many plays, have created scenes and written dialogue that have entered into universal popular consciousness the way the Python team have managed? Pinter , Stoppar d and Bond have nothing as penetrating as "its not pining, its passed on, this parrot is no more" or "nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition."
This volume includes scripts from the whole of the first series and most of the second and includes some of Python's most famous moments, not just the aforementioned parrot and the Inquisition, but the Pirhana brothers, the Lumberjack Song, the Minehead bye- election ("not much fun in Stalingrad, no"), the Ministry of Silly Walks, and a delicious range of others. Part a joyous prompt to memory, partly a wholly new experience, finishing this volume has you reaching automatically for Monty Python's Flying Circus: Jus tThe Words, Vol 2. --Adam Roberts

Work Hard. Play Hard. Have Fun!
My profile and story is probably one of the more unique ones on this site and I realize it isn't for many of you but hey what the heck. In October of 2012 I was involved in a freak accident that left me paralyzed and in a wheelchair. I was actually out with friends celebrating a few of our career accomplishments when a few of us decided to ride the mechanical bull at the bar where we were at. I flipped off backwards, landed on my neck and at that instance my old life ended and my new life began. Anyways I just wanted to get that out of the way before going forward to be totally up front. I'm not sure I would have ever thought of dating a paralyzed person before my accident and I realize that it isn't for everyone. And It doesn't make a person shallow by any means. But the one thing I have noticed in the last year is that there are many women out there that see the person before the chair so here I am! In my free time I enjoy taking in all of life that I can. I'm a big sports fan so twins, Vikings, and gopher games either in person or on TV are at the top of my list. And it's always fun to incorporate something else within the games like this lays year my friends and I would get together for Monday Night Football and cook a dinner that represents the home team (ie if new Orleans is playing we'll cook up some gumbo). Like most I'm a big music fan as well and am into most genres but by far and away my favorite artist is Tom Petty. Most of all I just like hanging out with my friends and family. I have a great group of friends and my family is my rock. I especially enjoy being around my niece and nephew and hearing all of their fun stories. Lastly I love being outdoors. Ya I can't quite do everything I used to, but I try not to let that limit me. More often than not, where there's a will there's a way. Right now I'm busy with a lot of things as I relearn life so to speak. I'm taking part in cutting edge rehab 3 days a week, returning to work as a retail business analyst, and just trying to do a little more each and every day. I'm involved in quad rugby and am looking forward to getting a hand cycle to help fuel my competitive side. I'm not big on talking about myself despite my unique story so here's what I have to offer. I'm a great listener, will definitely make you laugh, loyal, family-orientated, and really do try and live every day as if it's the last. Lastly I love to write. My 3 goals in life are to get married, hand cycle across the US to raise money for charity, and write a book about my experiences.
Camping , Cooking , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Watching sports
Bowling, Cycling, Football, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
Don't have one of my own but someday.
Middle of the Road
Beaches and Parks with Volleyball Courts
Music-wise I like anything with a good beat. I love Country, Rock, and anything Tom Petty. Mexican and Greek food are my favorites but I'll eat pretty much anything. Favorite TV show right now is CSI LA
Twins, Gophers, Hanging out with Friends/Family

Opening in late August, the El Dorado Incubator Environment (EDIE) will be a retail business accelerator that provides the framework and support for a student-run business and accompanying retail space for the student business, recent Operation Jump Start graduates, and other AWBC clients throughout Arkansas.
This low cost, low risk endeavor will give start-up businesses a safe, efficient, and effective way to "test the waters" for their products. EDIE's Village will work in conjunction with existing entrepreneurship programs as a means to enhance Arkansas's entrepreneurial climate. Your contribution to the AWBC allows us to continue to make dreams of business ownership a reality for women in Arkansas. Women across the state learn skills and tools to make their business venture a success.
This past week Brazil was in the spotlight around the world with the visit of Pope Francis on his first international pilgrimage. Rio de Janeiro's most famous postcard, the statue of Christ the Redeemer, with arms open wide embracing the beauty of nature and the city below, was a perfect backdrop for the papal trip.
The iconic art deco statue was more than religiously symbolic for the visit of the man who took his papal name from St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of the environment: The statue sits atop Corcovado Mountain in the middle of the lush and vibrant Tijuca National Forest, the largest urban rainforest in the world.
The Tijuca Forest is not native. Over one hundred and fifty years ago - three centuries after Portuguese colonization - the forests surrounding Rio were cleared to make way for vast coffee plantations, impacting the city's water supply and climate. At the order of the Emperor Dom Pedro II in 1845, the area of over 12 square miles was replanted as forest, and in 1961 was declared a National Park. Today, the Tijuca National Forest is home to spring-fed waterfalls, ponds, peaks and hundreds of species of flora and fauna found only in the Atlantic Forest and threatened with extinction.
While the destruction of the Atlantic Forest and of the Amazon is a legacy of the country's colonization and economic growth, the exuberant recuperation of the Tijuca National Forest stands as a shining successful example of the result of placing a value on nature. And despite substantial progress in recent years in curbing Brazilian deforestation, industries including agriculture, logging and ranching remain responsible for deforestation and degradation of an annual area equivalent to over nine million soccer fields, of which only 3% is reforested annually across the country.
Nike seeks to bring together a committed and visionary team of partners in the Mata o Peito Initiative to raise funding and awareness for the strength of join actions to protect and replant forests throughout Brazil. To date over $35,000 has been raised through the generous contributions of individuals and corporations via retirement of carbon credits to offset their carbon footprints. All funds will be pooled to seed the Mata no Peito Fund, which will provide investments in selected innovative forestry projects throughout Brazil that demonstrate scalability, economic sustainability, community engagement and enhanced livelihoods.
As eyes turn to Brazil as the host of the approaching 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic games, we hope to replicate Dom Pedro II's legacy reforestation project throughout the country as an example to the world. We remain eager to confirm additional Mata no Peito coalition partners to help raise awareness of the importance of forests to address climate change, sustainable livelihoods and biodiversity.
The first year of the Dowswell Scholarship Fund was one of fundraising and program preparation. Because of the support by the Dowswell family and numerous other donors, Winrock was able to raise more than USD 55,000 for scholarships for female agricultural extension agents. These scholarships will be advertized, awarded, and mentored in collaboration with the Sasakawa Fund for Extension Education Program (SAFE). One of the strategies ofSAFE is to ensure that agricultural faculties and colleges broaden their admission criteria to provide opportunities to female candidates with backgrounds in non-agricultural production fields, such as home economics, nutrition, food science and development studies. SAFE aims at addressing faculty gender imbalances in agricultural extension education. By targeting female candidate students the Dowswell Scholarship Fund will help improving the gender balance in rural advisory services.
During the next SAFE staff retreat in June, the specifics of scholarship such as distribution, selection, duration, and size, will be finalized in order to be able to make the first awards before the next academic year, i.e. September 2013. The scholarships will be awarded in the three countries, Ethiopia, Mali, and Nigeria. Collaborating institutions are Haramaya University, Hawassa University, Bahir Dar University, and Mekele University in Ethiopia; Rural Polytechnic Institute, and Samanko College in Mali; Ahmadu Bello University, Bayero University, Adamawa State University, and Ilorin University in Nigeria.
On behalf of Winrock, the Dowswell family and our partners in the SAFE program, we thank donors for their generous support.
Stay tuned for more updates!

DEFINITION of 'Exchange Control'
Types of controls that governments put in place to ban or restrict the amount of foreign currency or local currency that is allowed to be traded or purchased. Common exchange controls include banning the use of foreign currency and restricting the amount of domestic currency that can be exchanged within the country.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Exchange Control'
Typically, countries that employ exchange controls are those with weaker economies. These controls allow countries a greater degree of economic stability by limiting the amount of exchange rate volatility due to currency inflows/outflows.

I'm learning Java EE 6. I've seen how much progress it has achieved in this release of the umbrella specification. EJBs 3.1 are far easier and more lightweight than previous versions, and CDI is amazing.
I'm not familiar with Spring, but I often read that it offered some neat features that the Java EE stack didn't. Yet I also read now that Java EE has caught up, and can now fully compete with Spring.
I know that choosing from both depends on many factors, but if we only focus on features, say the latest trends etc. Which one has the leading edge? Can Spring 3 offer some assets The Java EE 6 stack can't?
Also, what about Seam framework? From what I read it's like Java EE 6 but with some additions?

African-American Empowerment Network Sets Course for Change
Check out my new cover story in The Reader about Omaha's African American Empowerment Network. It's the first installment in a two-part cover series on this nonprofit, grassroots, community initiative to raise the educational, economic, quality of life prospects for a segment of the population that, on average, lags behind the majority population and other ethnic minority groups.
I will soon be adding the story to this blog site, but for now you can find it at The Reader-
Also, I will be using the two-parter as a case study for how I go about doing what I do. That look inside my process will be featured on my Notes from a Working Journalist
Squidoo lens page. Look for an announcement here about it. If you haven't visited that site yet, you can access it at-
Notes from a Working Journalist
Another facet of my online presence is the new Squidoo lens page I have formed. I call it:
Notes from a Working Journalist.
It is meant to be a kind of diary or journal of my writing life by sharing insights into the process behind creating the projects that pay my bills and feed my soul. Every now and then I will use the page to talk about what's happening with various projects I am engaged in, providing notes into their genesis, their development, their research, their writing-editing phase, and, finally, their publication. I hope these insights prove an interesting glimpse at what goes into my process as a working journalist.
You can access my Squidoo lens page at:
Author-journalist-blogger Leo Adam Biga resides in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. He writes newspaper-magazine stories about people, their passions, and their magnificent obsessions. He's the author of the books "Alexander Payne: His Journey in Film – A Reporter's Perspective 1998-2012," a compilation of his journalism about the acclaimed filmmaker, and "Open Wide" a biograpy of Mark Manhart. Biga co-edited "Memories of the Jewish Midwest: Mom and Pop Grocery Stores." His popular blog, leoadambiga.wordpress.com, is an online gallery of his work.

'Sign Painters' is a New York Times coffee table-book pick
Milwaukee gallery owner Faythe Levine and filmmaker Sam Macon traveled across the country to find and interview people who have apprenticed and perfected the craft of painting signs by hand, whether to promote the price of grapes at a local grocer or to create art.
Their book, "Sign Painters," from Princeton Architectural Press, has just been named one of the "heavyweights" of coffee table books for the gift-giving season by the New York Times. »Read Full Blog Post

Milwaukee Rep makes spirit of 'Christmas Carol' burn bright
In the cast biography he wrote for the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's 38th edition of "A Christmas Carol,"Jim Pickering catalogs the numerous roles he has played in his 26 Rep "Carols," before naming each of the adapters as well as set and costume designers who made them possible.
It's a beautifully rendered tribute that also channels the core message in what Pickering rightly calls "the greatest secular fable of human redemption ever written": our ability to change and grow, playing many roles and living multiple lives, if we can but open our hearts to the love and dedication of those many people challenging us to be our best selves. »Read Full Article

However, bad eyesight and the expense of student loans led her in a different direction. Halfway through college, she shifted gears and began pursuing an airport planning degree. Soon after completing an internship at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, she was offered a job.
"I thought I was only staying there for two years, but I got addicted to this place," says Quigley. "It was growing really quickly, so I was getting exposed to projects that people would spend their whole careers looking for."
She helped plan and acquire grant money for the building of the airport's newest D gates. They are a collection of 25 gates connected to the main terminal through an underground transportation system, altogether amassing about one million square feet of facility.
In 2005, after 15 years at McCarran Airport, an unexpected job opportunity came Quigley's way. Her former boss, Jacob Snow, who was recently recruited to be GM of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), wanted her as deputy GM.
"Although I loved the airport, I just really enjoyed Jacob Snow's leadership style," said Quigley. "He has a strong sense of vision but lets you do your job."
Quigley said yes, and in this position helped launch two bus rapid transit projects and four express routes. She also assisted with the building of three park-and-ride facilities, a state-of-the-art transit facility, a traffic management facility and a bus maintenance facility.
The RTC of Southern Nevada, a designated metropolitan planning organization (MPO), is one of the few agencies in the country that's responsible for street and highway planning and funding, freeway and arterial traffic management, and public transportation. But, the initial job transition was made simple for Quigley by the foundational crossovers of her duties at the RTC and her previous line of work.
"Like the airport, RTC is also transportation so a lot of the processes, studies and data, and the way you manage you system is very similar," Quigley says. "We're talking about passengers, federal processes and grants."
In April of this year, Quigley was promoted to GM. Facing a tough economic climate, her largest goal is to focus on building a strong foundation for Las Vegas. She's currently overseeing the ongoing Complete Street program, which promotes streets and sidewalks cohesively designed for alternative modes of transportation in addition to pedestrians and public transit. They feature wider sidewalks, bike lanes, fewer automobile lanes and more landscaping.
Quigley's also working toward solutions for better workforce mobility. RTC plans to reach out to major employers in the district to learn about the commuting characteristics of their employees. "Our next priority is going to be growing our express system of transportation, and there are specific major corridors we're studying right now," says Quigley.
She's also proud of the agency's electric bike program. A grant funded 25 electric bikes that RTC shares with other local governments in the area. Instead of driving to meetings, employees ride these electric bikes.
Under Quigley's leadership, the National Transit Database named the RTC one of the most efficient transit providers in the nation, according to Angela Torres of RTC's government affairs and media relations.
When she's not at the RTC, Quigley is utilizing her private pilot license, spending time with her family, and attending meetings for the United Way Women's Leadership Council and the Clark County Credit Union Audit Committee.
The Flatiron Flyer buses, which were supplied by MCI and can carry 57 passengers each, are specially branded with a unique blue-and-sunrise-orange paint scheme designed by RTD and a U.S. 36 corridor stakeholder group.
The Hadley mirror business will remain in Elkhart, Ind., but will relocate from the Hadley site to its own production facility over the next few months. The management, engineering, customer service, administrative and production personnel of the Hadley mirror business will remain with the business and transition to Safe Fleet.
Each year, more and more people look forward to BusCon as a chance to network, learn about new trends and technology, and gain the tools that are necessary to revitalize the way they tackle their own operations.
The countdown clocks were developed in part to address concerns about the overall accessibility of MTA's Bus Time system, which sends wait-time information to riders via text message, a QR code scan, or over a web site.
The report argues that the city should be pushing for the "gold standard" of BRT. That would include a control station that monitors buses and ensures they come at well-spaced intervals and enclosed stops that shelter customers.

Very easy to make, and went over huge at a Halloween party. I made them in cupcake cups and used cheesecake-flavored pudding. If you use the cupcake papers though, only use a little bit of brownie batter in each one, no more than a third full. Also, you might want to consider doubling the pudding because it wasn't enough to cover them all.
I made these brownies and followed the recipe exactly. It stated to whisk pudding for 2 min. I followed this instruction, and my pudding thickend. There was no pudding in the holes that were poked int the brownies. Not very good. Will not make these again

I used butterscotch flavor pudding instead of coloring vanilla pudding, and they turned out great.
I didn't care for these. They are probably ok for kids or a just a kids party, but they are pretty odd looking and people didn't find them too appetizing. Took them to a October potluck bday party.
Easy and quite good!
I agree with Betsy. I followed the directions to the recipe, I did get the holes filled with pudding, but the pudding was to messy. I put a cover on it and a lot of the pudding came off on the plastic. I'm glad I tried it before the party or there would have been a lot of messes!

Price of postage goes up
0 votedvotevote
The price of a U.S. postage stamp goes up Monday. It will now cost 44 cents to mail a first class letter. That's a two cent increase.
Since January 2001, rates for first-class stamps have gone up 10 cents.
The stamps came out on Saturday, but the official start date is May 11th. People will still be able to use their "forever stamps", which are stamps that are bought at current prices, but can be used regardless of future price changes.
Other mailing prices also went up. For a complete list of price changes, click here.

This policy is an understanding between the industry and the Government of Alberta, represented by the Chief Provincial Veterinarian. This Policy is applied under the Alberta Animal Health Act and is intended to provide direction to all stakeholders. If you would like to receive a copy of the draft policy please contact the Board office at (780) 434-8414. 2 ILT Vaccine With the recent incidents of ILT in the province, producers have asked about ILT vaccination options. Dr. Jennie Fricke from Poultry Health Services, Airdrie has provided a summary enclosed in this circular. Each producer is advised to contact their hatchery and veterinarian to discuss costs as well as the program that will best suit their facilities. Managing the Modern Males on Your Farm Workshop Wanted: Hard working, dedicated hatching egg producer seeks quality males with strong legs, lean physiques and unquenchable desire to contribute to the next generation. If only it were as easy as a notice in the newspaper to get quality breeding males needed for successful breeder flock performance. Recognizing that male broiler breeder management is very complex and always changing, 75% of Alberta's hatching egg farms were represented at a workshop focusing on these complexities. Hatchery, government and feed company personnel were also in attendance. The Managing the Modern Broiler Breeder Male was held in Edmonton and Airdrie this past February and featured Dr. Jeanna Wilson sharing her practical on-farm experience and expertise about today's modern strains. Jeanna has worked extensively with broiler breeder males over the last 25 years at the University of Georgia, USA in her roles as a researcher, professor and extension agent. Participants spent the day learning from Dr. Wilson and each other. The day started with a brief summary of some of the top things to consider for successful male management and moved into a discussion period covering Alberta farm specific questions ranging from brooding to spiking and everything in between. Some of the hot topics included: 1- How important is the weight ratio between males and females? What should it be? a. Answer: This ratio is extremely important. If males are too heavy their breeding success will be limited because hens will avoid them and when heavy males do attempt to mate they will often slide too far forward and will be unable to complete the mating. Aim to have males around 25% heavier than females and never the same or lighter than the females. 2- What should the male to female ratio be? a. Answer: The correct male to female ratio depends on the age of the flock. When the flock is young a ratio of 7 to 8 males/100 females is adequate. As the flock ages that ratio could increase to 10 males males/100 females. 3- What indicators determine a good male or poor male when culling? a. Answer: Characteristics to look for would include: i. Posture – a tall upright posture is desirable. Roosters with flat back postures are likely carrying a lot of breast muscle making mating more difficult. A depressed posture with tails slumping could also be an indicator of regressing condition. 3 ii. Fleshing – too little or too much breast muscle is not good. Bodyweight only tells part of the story and should be combined with fleshing to accurately assess male condition. On a fleshing scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being a very pronounced keel bone and 5 being a broad, flat breast (possibly even with a dimpled appearance) the aim should be a 2 or 3 V- shaped breast. iii. Feather wear and vent condition – If the feathers around the vent are fluffy and do not appear to have any breakage the male is likely not mating. If the vent also has a closed, dry appearance frequent mating is also unlikely. iv. Feet – once a male has sores or swelling in his feet or legs the likelihood of successful mating declines. This is a common area of loss in rooster performance. Litter condition should be closely monitored and managed. v. Behavior – Roosters found in the nest box are likely never to be good for mating. Most often they are in the nest because they are injured or sick and are regressing in their condition. vi. Color– Comb and eye color are not very good indicators of breeding success. Comb color may become duller if a bird is unhealthy. However, there is quite a delay from the time that an unhealthy male stops mating to when his comb loses color. He probably has not been working for quite a while. The blue color in combs can change throughout a day and is not related to breeding condition. Color around the eyes cannot consistently be related to breeding performance. Using this method you have equal probability of removing a good male with pale color and leaving a dud with good color. 4- Should you leave a "bad" male in when putting in spikers? (in order to keep the male female ratio). No – if they are not working they should be removed. They will be eating feed that you don't need to waste. They do not serve a purpose in terms of being the lowest one in the pecking order. Often the older males are heavier than the spikers and will keep the new young roosters away from the hens. This workshop was brought to the Alberta Hatching Egg industry by the Working Together project team of Valerie Carney (ARD), Brenda Schneider (ARD), Frank Robinson ( U of A), Rob Renema (U of A), Martin Zuidhof (U of A), Nancy Robinson (AHEP), Alex McCready (Maple Leaf) and Vern Crawford. Special thanks to Drs. Tom Inglis, Darko Mitevski and Jenny Fricke and the Poultry Health Services staff for their assistance with the labs and birds. Thank you also to Erik Veldhuizen and Laurens Van der Rijt for contributing roosters for the session. This project was sponsored in part by Growing Forward. For further information on programs offered by Growing Forward please visit www.growingforward.alberta.ca 4 CHEP Update Review of National Allocation Advisory members CFC, CPEPC, Ag Canada, FPAC, EICB, and CPHEPA all provided input with respect to adjustment to Canadian Volumes and recommended that the chicken allocation be adjusted for 2011 to 1,039,000,000 kg a 1.7% increase over 2010's estimate. For 2012 the recommendation was for 1,052,000,000 kg 1.3% over 2011. These numbers will be used by CHEP to allocate production to member provinces. FPA Update: Draft FPA was discusses and will be forwarded to the member provinces respective board offices for review and consideration. Manitoba's legal concerns will be attached for member province review and comment. Compensation On March 23rd, Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced that compensation to producers with long lived birds such as breeders would move to a maximum $60.00 per head, in the case of depopulation matters. This change is the result of extensive lobbying and the current government's vote of non confidence. Prior to this, compensation to our industry by CFIA was initially pegged at $8.00, then $18.00 followed by $24.00 maximum. This is indeed positive for our industry in a case of depopulation of a federally reportable disease. Canadian Poultry Farmers Applaud Compensation Changes - 25 March 2011 11:28:46 GMT Chicken Farmers of Canada, Turkey Farmers of Canada, Egg Farmers of Canada and the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers together applaud new updates to the schedule of maximum amounts payable for compensation to owners of birds ordered destroyed for disease control purposes, announced yesterday by Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz at a reception organized by the poultry groups. The newly enhanced compensation program will help lessen the economic and social impact on poultry farmers in the event their flocks must be destroyed and represents the culmination of extensive consultation between industry stakeholders and government. "Canadian poultry farmers appreciate the work the government has completed in support of their interests and livelihoods," says Peter Clarke, Chair of Egg Farmers of Canada. "The new compensation figures better reflect the different market values of an egg-laying hen, a breeder bird and a meat bird." Adequate compensation is considered a critical component in both effective disease surveillance and pre-emptive cull programs; the ultimate goal is to contain a disease before it spreads and save all partners - governments, the public and industry - the cost of managing a full disease outbreak. "Poultry farmers and processors have shared in the responsibility and cost of risk prevention through on-farm food safety programs, biosecurity initiatives and the 5 development and implementation of the pre-emptive cull protocol in the unlikely event that there is a suspicion of avian influenza," says Turkey Farmers of Canada Chair, Mark Davies. "Compensation values that reflect the true market value of a bird are a logical next step in this process." The Canadian Food Inspection Agency provides compensation to owners of animals ordered destroyed under the authority of the Health of Animals Act. The newly revised maximum compensation amounts are effective immediately and will be published in Canada Gazette II on March 30, 2011. Trade update The process is still moving forward, some modalities will be completed by mid April. If there are no modalities the talks will break down. If there is no progress by the end of 2011 as a result of US elections little will go forward until 2014. There doesn't seem to be any appetite on the part of the Americans to go quickly. Market access is still the main stumbling block and as a result of Bilateral trade: EU, Trans Pacific...supply management is off the table at this time. National animal health and welfare group Working group is examining the Farm Animal Codes of Practice in animal welfare legislation in Canada relative to the status of provincial regulations concerning animal welfare. Pathogen Reduction Initiative for Meat and Poultry Information Session To begin discussions on pathogen reduction in meat and poultry in Canada ��Public health overview ��Consumer perspective ��Industry experiences and challenges ��USDA approaches and programs ��Initiatives of key trading partners ��Baseline surveys This is a broiler study but can impact our industry. Canadian Farm Animal Issues Roundtable Strategy Session A discussion on Farm Animal Issues was held and generated questions in the areas of: What has changed with animal rights activities overtime? Why should we as industry care? Who are our prime audiences? What are our messages? What is the mechanism to reach our audiences? How do we coordinate our approach?, Who should lead? Main findings were as follows: - A national approach would be preferable that involves stakeholders along the supply chain 6 - In the future we should continue to stay vigilant for future issues that may affect the industry with respect to issues concerning Farm Animals and their care. Traceability Update The main concern identified was with the lack of traceability in the non commercial poultry sector (NCP). For reasons of resources and the work poultry has already done, it is not expected that we will be approached as a priority species for regulatory amendment. Poultry will not be a priority by CFIA who recognises that the current system is reasonably sufficient. Update: Avian Influenza Response in Manitoba February 25, 2011: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has lifted the quarantine from the infected premises involved in an avian influenza outbreak that occurred in Manitoba in November 2010. Testing will continue on Canadian farms by CFIA. Changes to Health of Animals Regulations, Part XII – Transportation of Animals CFIA's work to date in this area as animal welfare continues to be a top priority for the poultry industry. Transportation regulations are imperative to ensure the continued welfare of our birds. Poultry transport in particular differs in many ways from transporting other livestock, and it is important that these differences are addressed appropriately. Having up-to-date regulations in place that reflect current scientific knowledge and accepted production practices is important to address animal welfare and is also in the best interest of Canadians, who care about animal welfare. (Excerpt of letter sent to CFIA) Animal Cruelty Industry in contact with CHEP staff at CFHS (Humane society) to make sure that the cruelty code did not provide opportunity for frivolous charges against producers National Food Strategy The CFA-led National Food Strategy is unique in that it is developed by industry itself through grassroots consultations across the whole food chain. The National Food Strategy presents a tremendous opportunity for Canada to establish a comprehensive plan that will guide effective food policy and secure food for current and future generations, to guard our environment and to boost our economy. Salmonella Enteritidis The Canadian Salmonella Enteritidis Control Symposium and Workshop were held on December 1 and 2, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia. The goals of these events were to bring together stakeholders to: 1) share information on the epidemiology of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in Canada, existing industry programs and the regulatory framework; 2) identify and prioritize the challenges related to SE surveillance and control in humans, food and animals; and 3) generate ideas and actions for addressing SE with a national coordinated approach. Experts from federal, provincial and local government agencies, industry and academia participated. Finally, cost- effective measures to control SE in Canada need to be identified and implemented. This work 7 would be undertaken by industry stakeholders, PHAC, CFIA, and provincial public health and animal health agencies. Note: Focus is on reduction and baseline studies need to be conducted and then response policies need to be developed. CFIA will be looking to move forward on SE, concerns for hatching eggs BC is looking to use a kill vaccine along with the live to attempt to reduce SE even further We need a national policy. National insurance policy in collaboration with hatcheries? Hatchery supply flock working group No draft policy developed as of yet, looking at NPIP policy, looking economic impact for producers. Canadian Livestock Transport (CLT) Certification Program Update The CLT Certification Program aims to provide a national training course for transporters of livestock and poultry. As you know, the CFIA is considering changes to Part XII of the Health of Animals Regulations regarding animal transportation. The recommended changes would include training requirements for commercial carriers engaged in the transportation of livestock, poultry and other animals. Call for Coherence Declaration Update Work is ongoing on mobilizing and planning for the public launch of the Call for Coherence Declaration, the exact timing of which is still to be determined, hopefully in Paris or Brussels CHEP 2011 Summer Meeting This year Alberta will be hosting the CHEP summer meeting in Canmore, Alberta July 11 – 15, 2011. Producers are welcome to attend the opening banquet on Monday, July 11, 2011. Please contact the AHEP office for details. AHEP Fowl/Non-settable Egg Strategy Nancy Robinson along with a few producers met at the Leduc Centre with Alberta Rural Development to further discuss the potential of creating value added pet treats for the Alberta industry. A facilitator was present at the session which helped the process. Producers in attendance provided very meaningful solutions. Poultry Research Centre – Research Priorities U of A Research Priorities Meeting was held on February 3. The goal of the Research and Development Forum is to identify strategic R & D industry priorities for 2012-2017. The 8 meeting was also attended by Maple Leaf and Lilydale.

text: Middle East Middle East Kristin Deasy on Dec 10, 2012 @ 7:11 PMDec 10, 2012 @ 7:11 PM Published'The Innocent Prophet,' new anti-Islam film, set for Friday debutPakistani Muslim demonstrators prepare to torch a US flag near burning police vehicles during a protest against an anti-Islam film in Karachi on September 21, 2012. At least 19 people died in Pakistan during violent protests on Friday condemning a US-made film insulting Islam, officials said.Lights, camera, and ... probably more insult than action with the Friday release of a new anti-Islam film, which reportedly mocks the religion in the manner of the 14-minute "Innocence of Muslims" trailer that enraged Islamic communities worldwide in September, according to Australia's News Network. More from GlobalPost: An Islamic Egypt not so inevitable anymore?Called "The Innocent Prophet: Life of Muhammad from the Point of View of an Ex-Muslim," the film has reportedly prompted Belgium to preemptively issue a terror alert, said the National Turk, while Australian troops are gearing up for heightened protest activity in Afghanistan, reported Australia's News Network.The new film's documentary-style trailer, which has been viewed on YouTube more than 82,000 times, can be seen in several languages here. "The Innocent Prophet" is a collaborative work by a former Muslim from Pakistan now living in Spain, Imran Firasat of Mundo sin Islam (World without Islam), and the virulently anti-Muslim US Christian pastor Terry Jones, according to Newser.Jones, known for his Koran-burning activities, announced the film's release while wearing an "Islam Is A Bully" T-shirt. He said the project is aimed at presenting "a picture of Mohammad that has possibly not been revealed in the past."It is not likely to be a positive portrayal, with Firasat saying in the film's trailer: "We must go deep into the life of Muhammad to find out whether he was a genuine prophet sent by God or was he simply a child molester, assassin and a self-proclaimed prophet."
