GREEN BAY — Who`s going to replace John Jefferson, the other half of the Green Bay Packers` once-celebrated wide receiving tandem that also featured the remarkable James Lofton?
Well, how about Walter Stanley, a 5-foot-9-inch graduate of Chicago South Shore High School, who hasn`t played a football game since 1981? Despite his recent inactivity, Stanley has the kind of moves that Packer coaches believe may enable him to challenge world-class sprinter Phillip Epps for the job that Jefferson--now a free agent--walked away from after last season.

Egypt invests US$9 million to protect High Dam
An Egyptian newspaper reported on Tuesday that the government is building a security bunker in front of the High Dam on the Nile River to protect it from any attempts to destroy it. The Dam is located near the city of Aswan. The newspaper quoted an official at the Ministry of water resources and irrigation as saying that the works to lay the line of steel fortifications began recently in order to prevent any attempt to dispatch explosives across the river to blow up the dam, which is considered the most important facility in Egypt.
The official pointed out that the ministry will complete the construction of the fortifications next year.
He did not give further details but said the project, which cost about 40 million pounds (some US$ 9 million) will not affect the stability of the dam.
It should be mentioned that the High Dam was constructed between 1960 and 1970.

Bauhaus star Peter Murphy has been placed on three years probation after pleading guilty to methamphetamine possession.
The She's in Parties singer was arrested for his part in a hit-and-run accident in Glendale, California in March (13), when police reportedly found methamphetamine inside the patrol car in which Murphy was detained.
The goth rocker previously pleaded not guilty to three charges, but in a Los Angeles court, he agreed to change his plea after striking a deal with prosecutors, who agreed to drop a misdemeanour charge of driving under the influence of drugs in return.
Murphy's drug charge will be axed and completely removed from his criminal record if he successfully completes 45 days of Narcotics Anonymous meetings. He also agreed to three random drug tests.
Murphy, who lives in Turkey, was ordered to return to court in May (14) to prove he has completed the programme.
He must also complete 10 days of community service for the hit-and-run charge.
Murphy is currently touring to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Bauhaus.

British Airways worker from Bangladesh guilty of plane terror plot
Karim was plotting to blow up a plane after conspiring with Anwar al-Awlaki.
London: A Bangladeshi Islamic militant working for British Airways was found guilty on Monday of plotting to blow up a plane after conspiring with radical US-Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
Rajib Karim, 31, was "committed to an extreme jihadist and religious cause" and was "determined to seek martyrdom", jurors at Woolwich Crown Court in London were told.
The jury convicted Karim of four counts of preparing terror attacks.
The IT worker, who moved with his wife and son to Newcastle in 2006, had admitted being involved in the production of a terrorist group`s video, fundraising and volunteering for terror abroad.
Karim, a privately-educated member of a middle-class family in Dhaka, was lured into becoming a staunch supporter of a radical organisation called Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh by his younger brother, Tehzeeb.
The trial heard that he had attempted to move from his IT role within the airline to become a member of cabin crew.
Colin Gibbs, a counter-terrorism lawyer for the Crown Prosecution Service, described Karim`s determination to plan an attack as "frightening".
"The most chilling element of this case is probably the fact that Karim tried to enrol as cabin crew and anyone can imagine how horrific the consequences of this could have been, had he succeeded," Gibbs said.
The jury found Karim guilty of plotting to blow up an aircraft, sharing information of use to Awlaki, offering to help financial or disruptive attacks on BA and gaining a job in Britain to exploit terrorist purposes.
The bearded Karim, who showed no emotion as the jury delivered their verdict, had argued that he only moved to Britain to seek treatment for his son whom he feared had bowel cancer.
He will be sentenced on March 18.
The prosecution said Karim started to communicate in late 2009 with Awlaki, who is believed to have been hiding in a remote area of Yemen since 2007.
Karim is the latest in a line of young men inspired to militancy by Awlaki`s endorsement of violence as a religious duty.
A top US official recently described US-born Awlaki as "probably the most significant risk" to the United States.
Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, told US lawmakers on February 9 that he posed a danger because of his influence both within and outside the United States.
Awlaki is suspected of being a leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and of instigating a string of attacks against the United States.

Paul Gaines, Jr., a UConn MSW student with a concentration in Administration, chose the UConn School of Social Work because this program in particular will place him in a more favorable position to continue his work with Active Duty and Prior Service military personnel.
Bachelor's Degree: Bridgewater State College, Communication Arts & Sciences, Radio and Television Production and Operation
I selected the University of Connecticut School of Social Work (SSW) because this program in particular will place me in a more favorable position to continue my work with Active Duty and Prior Service military personnel. For those that seek it, the support of the faculty and your advisor are readily available. Their guidance will help you to successfully navigate a challenging but rewarding first year.
I chose to participate in Building Bridges as an incoming student. As a result, my experience in Building Bridges was helpful in terms of receiving feedback regarding course load, summer classes, and general transition issues that all new students face at some point during their first year. I recommend Building Bridges to any new student. I rarely saw my Building Bridges Ambassador, but she was readily available by phone or email whenever I had a question or sought feedback.
My field placement during the 2011-2012 academic year was at the UConn Storrs Veterans Resources Department. In addition to maintaining the office, I managed the Student Veterans Oasis, coordinated programs and services for Student Veterans, as well as represented the university at regional meetings and events. I was in direct contact and collaborated with service providers, state politicians, and our CT Veteran population. That internship offered me extensive experience with each of the five concentrations offered through the School of Social Work. Most importantly, working there has enhanced my cultural competency with our Veteran population, and will better position me to maximize service delivery outcomes of my future employer with regard to Veterans.
I have been active in the school community and currently serve as Co-Chair of the Student Veterans and Supporters Alliance. I am also an advisor to the UConn (Storrs) Veteran Students Organization and UConn (Storrs) Skydive Team. Additionally, I serve as a committee member for the Military Initiative Group and OEF/OIF Task Force (Federal Department of Veterans Affairs).
Be prepared to work hard. The first year is extremely demanding, and I strongly suggest that new students begin to work on midterm assignments early in the semester. I also encourage new students to strike a balance between work and maintaining physical and emotional health. Get involved in the myriad of sub-organizations available at the SSW, and use what little free time you have to network with fellow students. I heeded the advice of those who came before me, and it has served me well.

Keegan nets Spiderman
Argentina international Jonas Gutierrez has signed for Newcastle on a five-year deal.
Last Updated: 02/07/08 11:30am
Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan has made his first signing of the summer with the acquisition of Argentina international Jonas Gutierrez.
The right-side forward arrives at St James' Park on a five-year deal after Newcastle concurred on an undisclosed fee with Real Mallorca.
Nicknamed 'Spiderman' for his elaborate goal celebrations, Gutierrez had previously been linked with a move to Portsmouth.
Keegan is confident Gutierrez, who turns 25 on Saturday, will quickly establish himself as a favourite in the North East.
"Jonas is a wonderful signing for us," he told the club's official website.
"I know a lot of other clubs have been interested in him. He'll be a terrific addition to the squad.
"He's an exciting player and I'm sure our fans will enjoy watching him."
Exciting prospect
Gutierrez admits he had no doubts about making the move to England once Newcastle made their interest known.
"I cannot tell you how excited I am to be joining Newcastle United.
"The Premier League is a great place to play and I cannot wait to meet my new team-mates and prove myself to the Newcastle United fans."
Gutierrez's signing could well heighten speculation that reported Liverpool and Aston Villa target James Milner will be allowed to leave the club.

Try to look at the ports you'll be stopping at and go ahead and try to pick the excursions you'd like to do. At least look at them and narrow down your choices so that you'll have an idea what to pick once you get on the ship. We spend a lot of time worrying about what we were going to do, it would have been easier if we picked before we went. Looks like the only destination on your cruise that I went to was Cozumel. That's good, because it was the best stop we made. The shopping there is good, plenty of shops and the stuff is cheap. We had several that did the island tour on Cozumel, and they all enjoyed it. But if you're planning on shopping, Cozumel is a good choice. Don't know much about your other destinations.
On the ship most everything will be taken care of. More food than you can imagine, 24 hours a day. Tea and water, and some juice, (apple and fruit punch for us) is also available for free 24 hours, but everything else cost money. If you drink a lot of soft drinks then the way to go is a "drink card". You pay for the card then all the drinks afterward are free with the card. I just stuck with the free stuff.
Room service in nice, I ordered that everyday just to get a snack before going to breakfast. The fridge in your room will have a few cokes and drinks in it, but they cost money. You can have them come and take them out, then put whatever you want in the fridge. I just kept some juice and food from the buffet in the fridge for whenever I wanted a snack. Worked out pretty good.
Take a power strip or extension cord with you for sure. Something you can plug into the wall, then plug several things into it. There is usually only one outlet in the room. If you have a hair dryer, curling iron, cell phone charger, alarm clock, etc., one outlet fills up pretty quick. And it gets old plugging and unplugging stuff all the time. This was the best thing I took on the trip. Oh, yea, and if you need an alarm clock, you'd better take that too.
They have plenty of towels and stuff in the bathroom, don't bother taking anything like that. They had plenty of soap, shampoo, etc. also, so you can leave that at home if you're trying to pack light.
And pack light if you can. I took too many clothes, it's easy to do. We did the dress dinner every night, and I enjoyed it. But that was where the majority of my clothes went. It's hard to wear the same dressy clothes every night. But the rest of the time was mostly shorts and T-Shirts. There are some shows and stuff at night to go to, everyone wears whatever they want. Shorts and T-Shirts to suites, and everything in between.

There is an artist represented by Gagosian that I find very intriguing, mainly because he is a ceramist. His name is Edmund de Waal and had his first solo show at that mega-galleryearlier this year. There, in those large white Madison Avenue spaces, De Waal introduced hundreds of his monochrome porcelain vessels, grouped in vitrines or arranged in on girders and brackets. Entitled 'Atemwende' or'breathturn', the show takes its name from Paul Celan's 1967 poetry collection and declaration in a related essay, that 'poetry is perhaps this: an Atemwende, a turning of our breath'.
In relation to De Waal's installation, it points to the creative process whereby the single bvessel becomes, when used like a musical note or single word as part of a larger pattern, expressive of meaning that relate as much to music and art, to modernist architecture and to modern poetry,as to the history of ceramic. As De Waal explains in the catalogue for the show: 'I've been thinking about new ways to make pauses, spaces and silences, where breath is held inside and between each vessel, between the objects and the vitrines, the vitrines and the room'.
De Waal, originally from Lincoln learned pottery with Geoffrey Whiting who was a disciple of Bernard Leach, who introduced De Waal to the oriental tradition, skewed as Leach's view was towards the pots of Japan and Korea. Then, when visiting the Victoria and Albert in London he encountered Chinese porcelain: 'Not just the celadons and the fluted bowls and the bottles with their vivid gestural cuts through white slip, but the late austere porcelains from the 18th century with their almost clinical profiles'. He spent so much time looking at the objects that 'I can see one specific bowl next to its neighbour'.
Then he went to Japan where he apprenticed with a friend of Bernard Leach's, Shōji Hamada and then back in England he held true to the Anglo-Japanese pot making: 'It was all about modesty. Not a lack of ambition, but modesty of intento, to make pots for a s many people as possible, of real beauty, austerity and function. Everything was brought back to its core belief'. But he went back to Japan and wrote the groundbreaking and controversial book called 'Bernard Leach' (1997) where he dismantled Leach's authority, exposing his limited understanding of Japanese culture. Then he researched the 'fiercely white' functional porcelain designed by Henry Cole in Victorian England, and the old Korean celadons so prized in Japan.
It is like this that De Waal brought porcelain in conversation with all other things he valued, 'Looking in some depth at what porcelain has meant to me, of course, to cargoes; took me into Kunstkammers, and then to the Porcelain Rooms and then to the revelation that porcelain wasn't an adornment, that actually it was architectural. How you used porcelain wasn't an added extra; it was the imperative behind how you walked through spaces, how you changed the environment, and it was porcelain in quantity of course -not just the single object'. There too in the porcelain tradition he found 'a kinship with the language of serial music or minimalist painting or modernist architecture. Party this is because Chinese porcelain pots are made in series and are meant to be seen in series'.
Thus in 2008 he devised and created his magisterial homage to ceramic history, Signs and Wonders, the circular crown like permanent installation int he dome of the V&A, high above the new Contemporary Ceramics Room and now his installation at Gagosian. I have to say that the installation do not convince me visually but the logic behind is revealing. This is one of those cases that I like him more as a researcher than as an artist or, let me put it this way, it is in his artistic intent (Gagosian, for example) where his whole thing loses specificity but I love his gentlemanly connoisseurship. Just a thought.

A Beginners C++
A Beginners C++ is primarily intended for introductory Computer Science courses that use C++ as an implementation language. However, the book should be equally suited to an individual who wants to learn how to program their own personal computer. This book assumes that you are a computer literate. You are required to have experience with word processing packages, and possibly other packages like spreadsheets and data bases. Although most schools do provide a limited introduction to programming (usually in Pascal or possibly a dialect of Basic), this book does not rely on such past experience. It is expected that you will use one of the modern Integrated Development Environments (IDE) on a personal computer. Examples of such environments include the Borland environment for Intel PCs and the Symantec environment for Macintosh/PowerPC machines.Visit publisher site: A Beginners C++

Paper from the Rofstad group highlighted in Cancer Research
The paper by Tord Hompland et al entitled Interstitial Fluid Pressure and Associated Lymph Node Metastasis Revealed in Tumors by Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI was published and highlighted in the October 1 issue of Cancer Research (journal impact factor 7.856). The cover of the issue shows an illustration from the study, and the paper was highlighted further by a Press Release from the American Association for Cancer Research.
Many malignant solid tumors develop a higher interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) than normal tissues. High IFP in tumors may cause reduced uptake of chemotherapeutic agents, resistance to radiation therapy, and promote metastatic spread. However, measurement of the IFP of tumors poses a challenge because of a paucity of noninvasive imaging strategies. The study by Hompland et al reports the development of a novel method for non-invasive assessment of the IFP of tumors.
Findings were confirmed in cervical cancer patients, where the fluid flow velocity at the tumor surface was higher in patients with pelvic lymph node metastases than in patients without lymph node involvement.
Squamous cell carcinomas of the uterine cervix were subjected to dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging by using gadolinium diethylene-triamine penta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA) as contrast agent and an axial T1-weighted spoiled gradient recalled sequence for imaging. The T1-weighted images showed a high-signal-intensity rim in the tumor periphery immediately after the contrast administration, and this rim moved outward with time. The velocity of the rim movement at the tumor surface was associated with tumor interstitial fluid pressure and incidence of lymph node metastases, and may serve as a novel general biomarker of interstitial hypertension-induced tumor aggressiveness.
For details, see article by Hompland and colleagues on page 4899.

I have always been a tough competitor and as a sponsor I am diligent about protecting my opportunities. However, I would not want to create adversaries along the way.
In Orange County there is a marketing personality that is quite aggressive about managing his sponsorships. So much so that at times he is quite impossible to deal with. There are frequent calls to organizers demanding oversight, multiple references to being a high-ranked sponsor, requests to review every detail, and an attitude of power because of money spent. The net result is that so many people can only talk about how difficult it is to have his firm as a sponsor.
Do not ever forget that the brand of your firm includes your personal interactions. If you are uncompromising and difficult your actions carry over to what the community believes about your firm.

McFadden set for surgery
By Alex Dunn
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
James McFadden is to undergo surgery on Friday after breaking his foot.
Everton forward James McFadden is to undergo surgery on Friday after breaking his foot.
The Scotland international broke the fifth metatarsal of his left foot during a training session on Wednesday, with the injury set to sideline him for the next two months.
Everton physio Mick Rathbone has confirmed that a steel pin is to be inserted into the player's foot, in a bid to pull the bone together.
"James has fractured a bone in his foot," Rathbone told the club's official website.
"He is going to have an operation to have a steel pin down the shaft of the bone to pull it together.
"Normally with that kind of procedure players are out for about eight weeks."
Toffees boss David Moyes admits he is bitterly disappointed to lose his player at such a crucial stage in the season, especially given the manner in which the injury was sustained.
"We are very disappointed for Faddy," said Moyes.
"It's so frustrating. He was playing head tennis with the other boys and it was a completely freak accident.
"He just fell over. It will probably keep him out for between six and eight weeks."

The Addy & Gabe Show: Episode 71Tuesday, April 29th, 2008
Nothing like porn to get an internet radio show started right. There was no show last week because Addy and Gabe were in the Bahamas and Tomnick was having his penis replaced with a gaping hole of evil. Tom gets technical about his fictional atlas. The guys help a wayward teen with his problems. Underage people should not declare their sexuality. At 16, we know nothing. At 30 we still know nothing, but we know it. Hence the drinking. Gabe says gay is a choice. Addy says lesbians are never depressing. (Gabe thinks his Rob was calling in, but it was not me.) Technical issues anger Addy. Techpepsi won't hang up. After the break, a question is posed: Why do people think Addy and Tomnick are gay? Some possible reasons: the hand holding, actually listening to what women say, singing to each other, the butt sex and ass-less chaps. Time for a break. Brian the Dog yells at a woman. Firefox is bloated crap. AOL used to fit on a floppy. As an IT guy, Gabe responds well to oral bribery. Addy tells a sad but non-gay story about almost getting laid. Shaggy calls in to discuss marrying a much older woman and the dangers of younger women. Another break. Gabe demonstrates how to clean his pipe. The always droll Damonbot shows up to finish off the show.

It was 12:30 A.M. before I got to bed. What a great game to watch. The guys were wore out at the second O.T. and they had to just keep gutting it out. Syracues had a great little guard that reminded me a little bit of Tinsley. Looked for Wes Johnson, but didn't see him. Also a fun USC and Stanford game. Really enjoy watching Tim Floyd coached teams. I love March Madness.:yes:

DENVER Jonathan Sanchez walked two and threw a wild pitchin a two-run first inning, but he might have fared the best among the Rockiespitchers to take the mound in Fridays 16-4 loss to the Giants.
The only batter he faced that was a 2010 World Seriesteammate was Buster Posey, and even the two of them did not work together forvery long.
Poseys impressions?
I guess you always wonder when you catch a guy what itd belike to face him, said Posey, who walked and singled against Sanchez. And youknow, his stuffs still pretty good. Hes struggling with command a little bit,but the stuff looks pretty good.
Sanchez hasnt fared well in any of his three starts sincethe pitching-poor Rockies picked him up from the Kansas City Royals. But hesbeen a cool customer with the reporters.
Nothing was wrong, Sanchez said. I just need to be moreaggressive.
It's hard to believe, since 2010 wasn't that long ago. But the other starters in the Giants lineup were all new to Sanchez. Angel Pagan was with the Mets in 2010, Ryan Theriot was with the Cubs and Dodgers, Melky Cabrera was with the Braves, Hunter Pence was with the Astros, Marco Scutaro was with the Red Sox and Brett Pill was a non-roster guy at Triple-A Fresno. That leaves Joaquin Arias, who was in Frisco -- and I know better than to make that reference to the City by the Bay. Arias was actually in Frisco, Texas, rehabbing his elbow for the Texas Rangers' Double-A affiliate.
It never ceases to amaze me how paths diverge and intersect in this game.
I asked Posey about swinging at a 3-0 pitch when the Giantsheld a six-run lead in the eighth inning. (He fouled it off, and stroked athree-run homer on the next offering.)
Some enforcers of baseballs unwritten rules would say thatPosey committed a faux pas. Then again, those rules dont usually apply atCoors Field.
I dont think so, Posey said. You see how they scoredfour runs quickly the previous inning.
You cant blame Posey for swinging at anything that looksgood. Hes hitting .463 with five home runs and 22 RBIs since the All-Starbreak.
Ryan Vogelsong said his time on the bases didnt tire himout in the seventh inning, when his one-hit shutout quickly vanished amid thatfour-run outburst.
But Vogelsong was rocksteady yet again. His quality-startsstreak ended at 16 but hes now 20-for-20 completing six innings. Theres nominimizing how important that is to the Giants, particularly in the first gameof a three-game series at Coors Field.
Its a tough place to pitch, Vogelsong said. The balldoesnt always do what you want it to do. I was just trying to keep them offthe board as long as I could. Just start strong, hold strong and not make ourguys play catch-up.
Vogelsong said he adjusted for his curveball at altitude bytaking something off it and trying to throw it down in the zone. Some pitcherswould just scrap the curve. Vogelsong kept mixing as best he could.
His biggest pitch of the night was the bases-loaded,double-play grounder he got from Jordan Pacheco to end the fourth inning.
What was the pitch?
Curveball, he said.
And right there, you begin to understand why Vogelsong has found a way to compete. Every single time he's taken the mound.
Hey, what about Vogelsongs first extra-base hit of theseason?
Every squirrel finds a nut, he said, smirking.
This squirrel was a shortstop at Kutztown University, sobelieve me, he was not happy about that .056 average he dragged into the game.
Hunter Pence got his first hit as a Giant out of the way,which must be a relief. Its also no small relief for the team to win in anoffensive hailstorm. Its hard enough when youre on the schneid with your newteam. Its even harder when nobody else is hitting around you. So this resultshould help Pence settle in, Id imagine.
Melky Cabrera really hit the ground hard on his slide intothird base in the seventh inning. He was replaced shortly after that. But Bochysaid Cabrera was fine, and should be ready to go Saturday.
I am not sure if I feel sympathy or empathy for Rockiesmanager Jim Tracy. What the hell, why not go with both?
The Rockies have to find a way to play two months ofbaseball with almost no starting pitching. Theyd already gone to a four-manrotation out of desperation, holding their starters to 75-pitch limits. Thatsa recipe to destroy a bullpen if Ive ever heard one.
Now theres bad news concerning their starter for Sunday, ChristianFriedrich. He tried to throw in the bullpen on Friday and couldnt. An MRIshowed a stress fracture in his back. Hes done for the year.
The Rockies have no idea who will start on Sunday. If theyschedule an open tryout, Ill be sure to let you know.
Congratulations to Chinas Dong Dong, who won the Gold medalin Trampoline. Its only been pointed out to me about 100 times today. Thanks.All you Dong fans are so helpful.
Former Giant Kevin Frandsen expressed outrage on Twitterthat trampoline is a medal sport while neither baseball nor softball aresanctioned any longer. Kevin, I am with you, brother.

Updated Land Use Plans Are Official
- Details
- Published on Friday, 26 May 2017 14:57
- Hits: 415
It is Official.
Ontario has released four updated land use plans to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Greenbelt Plan, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Niagara Escarpment Plan are the latest step in the government's reform of Ontario's land use planning system.
In a media presentation held on May 18, Municipal Affairs Minister, Bill Mauro announced the release of the Four Land Use Plans.
Quick Facts
The Greater Golden Horseshoe is forecasted to grow by approximately 4 million people over the next 25 years and will be home to more than 13.5 million people, working in 6.3 million jobs by 2041.
The updated plans are the result of almost two years of consultation and study.
The updated plans build on the Provincial Policy Statement to establish a unique land-use planning framework for the GGH that supports complete communities, a thriving economy, a clean and healthy environment and social equity.
Other reforms to the land use planning system include releasing an updated 2014 Provincial Policy Statement, reforming the Planning Act and Development Charges Act through the Smart Growth for Our Communities Act and proposed reforms to the Ontario Municipal Board.
You may have some questions such as:
What do these land use plans do?
When will the updated plans take effect?
Won't the updated plans place a greater burdern on municipalities?
Without the OMB how do you expect to implement these plans?
Answers to these questions and more.

Ontario Announces New Proposed Changes to the Land Use Planning and Appeal System
Concern about Food Supply a Global Issue
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 05 April 2017 18:15
- Hits: 555
Our food system has served us well until now but land use pressures and climate change will make it harder in future.
Cyclone Debbie, which lashed the Queensland coast a week ago, has hit farmers hard in the area around Bowen – a crucial supplier of vegetables to Sydney, Melbourne and much of eastern Australia.
With the Queensland Farmers' Federation estimating the damage at more than $100m and winter crop losses at 20%, the event looks set to affect the cost and availability of fresh food for millions of Australians. Growers are reportedly forecasting a price spike in May, when the damaged crops were scheduled to have arrived on shelves.
Fresh food for growing cities
Australia's cities are growing rapidly, along with those of many other countries. The United Nations has predicted that, by 2050, 87% of the world's population will live in cities. This urban expansion is putting ever more pressure on peri-urban food bowls.
Food production is also under pressure from climate change, raising the risk of future food shocks and price spikes after disasters such as cyclones. Meanwhile, the desire for semi-rural lifestyles is also conflicting with the use of land for farming (see Sydney's Food Futures and Foodprint Melbourne for more).
These pressures mean that Australia's cities need to make their food systems more resilient, so that they can withstand food shocks more easily and recover more quickly.
Who should own Canadian farmland? And how can we best protect it?
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 15 February 2017 17:09
- Hits: 743
On February 9, 2017, Bonnefield (who purchased proposed mega-quarry land from The Highland Companies) appeared before the Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture & Forestry. The Committee is undertaking a "Study on the acquisition of farmland in Canada and its potential impact on the farming sector"
Exerpts of the presentation:
So our prime reason for meeting with you today is to ask this Committee to advocate for responsible, evidence-based regulations that protect our farmland, while ensuring that farmers have ample access to the capital they need to operate their businesses profitably – including institutional capital.
I would now like to turn to five key points we would like the Senate Committee to consider in its ongoing study.
POINT 1: Farmers, not investors, determine the price of farmland in Canada.
POINT 2: Recent increases in Farmland prices across Canada have, with very few exceptions, been driven by increases in farm profits and are in line with increased profit levels.
POINT 3: Farming is a capital-intensive business, and Canadian farmers need access to a broad range of capital sources – including institutional investors - to finance their businesses and to remain internationally competitive.
POINT 4: The biggest threat to Canadian farmland is not who owns it. The biggest threats are urbanization and re-zoning and the conversion of farmland for real estate development, quarries and industrial uses.
POINT 5: Foreign ownership of farmland is not a widespread problem in Canada
My bigger concern is not who owns Canadian farmland, but who farms Canadian farmland. We believe that Canadian farmers should farm Canadian farmland.

Proposed Minor Changes to Greenbelt Boundary
To Co-ordinated Review stakeholders from Minister Mauro
I am writing to let you know that today the government opened a public consultation on proposed minor changes to the Greenbelt's boundary, as set out in O. Reg. 59/05 and the Greenbelt Plan and is interested in hearing input on this proposal.
The proposed boundary changes are shown on these maps.
The proposed changes are based on a review of requests for boundary changes submitted since the creation of the Greenbelt, including during the almost-two-year consultation period for the Co-ordinated Land Use Planning Review, and a review of related technical information, as well as further information provided by municipalities, conservation authorities and land owners.
The government received over 700 site-specific requests related to the Greenbelt Plans. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs reviewed those requests that fall within the Greenbelt Plan Area and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area.
In undertaking this review, the government was guided by a number of overarching considerations, including:
- avoiding boundary changes that would fragment farmland, including prime agricultural lands
- maintaining a robust Natural Heritage System that can be supported despite urbanization occurring in proximity and downstream to the Greenbelt
- respecting the functional connections in the Natural Heritage System
- valuing the overall objectives of the Greenbelt as a landscape
- avoiding a minimalist approach to defining the Natural Heritage System and
- being responsive to landowner requests to evaluate site-specific situations.
Requests related to the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area were not considered as part of this exercise because those requests are subject to a separate review process led by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
The consultation runs from January 11 to February 27, 2017. Any boundary changes are expected to be finalized early this year as part of the completion of the Co-ordinated Land Use Planning Review.
Thank you for your continued interest and engagement in the Greenbelt Plan.

The French are coming. Well, at least the ones from Bordeaux, the city of wine. And they're bearing tons of it: some 20,000 bottles to be tasted, tout de suite!
When the Bordeaux wine festival opens today at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center for an unprecedented visit to North America, there will be an exuberance of promotion, an abundance of networking and a surfeit of traditional swirling, and, yes, spitting.
But the question among some wine mavens is: can the show, which many argue is the world's most prominent, find happiness in the New York area -- the leading consumer of imports in America -- despite the economic downturn and an overabundance of production?
The three-day paradise of wine -- called Vinexpo Americas International Wine and Spirits Exhibition -- is a trade show, barred to the public, open only to more than 10,000 expected industry professionals. But a frenzy of ancillary Francophilic events will be open to the general public right through the weekend, including tastings, auctions, art and antiques shows and special menus at top French restaurants celebrating Bordeaux, the capital of the French region of Aquitaine.
Beyond this, the show is expected to enrich the city's coffers by at least $30 million, according to a Vinexpo study that estimates spending on hotels and restaurants, as well as payments to truckers, exhibition carpenters and party suppliers for all the blowout socializing.Continue reading the main story
Some think the show represents a high-profile effort by the French to pursue the American market. In fact, the kickoff ceremony today will feature Alain Juppé, the former prime minister of France, who just happens to be the mayor of Bordeaux. He said, before leaving for New York: ''We are here to do business.''
There have been wine conventions before in New York, but most have been open to consumers as well as the trade, and have confined their wares to wines already in distribution. ''But at Vinexpo the trade meets the trade, offering new things that are not distributed in the United States,'' said Daniel Boulud, the Manhattan chef who is offering cuisine from Bordeaux in two of his restaurants, Daniel and Cafe Boulud. ''There will be a huge concentration of winemakers here.''
More than 5,000 different wines will be poured by the smiling cadres of 600 exhibitors from 28 countries in 204,000 square feet of Javits space. Tasting their way from booth to booth will be distributors, wholesalers, importers, retailers, restaurateurs, sommeliers and auction devotees.
François Janoueix, one of the growers who were uncrating their wares yesterday, expressed high hopes ''that we can find new importers for our products,'' as he unpacked eight cases of wines.
''It's our first time in America,'' he said.
His and other booths will offer a torrent of wines for tasting from the world's 10 top-producing wine countries (Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the United States and South Africa). There will be tastings of the 2000 grands crus from Bordeaux, and new offerings including Clos Poggiale, a Corsican wine, and Fresita, a sparkling Chilean wine with strawberry pulp.
''Vinexpo has the international reputation of being the most important trade show in the world,'' said Jon Fredrikson, a wine analyst who is president of Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates, industry consultants in Woodside, Calif. ''Now they are trying to market to the vast trade audience that doesn't go to Bordeaux.''
Despite threats of war and gyrating markets -- or possibly because of them -- United States imports of table wine are projected to be up 12 percent to 52 million cases over last year, out of the total of 214 million cases expected to be sold in 2002, according to Mr. Fredrikson.
Many in the city's wine trade are pleased that Vinexpo has come to town. ''I applaud them in bringing the show to New York, which really needs the convention business,'' said Richard Genova, president of House of Burgundy, a Manhattan wine importer. ''New York deserves to have a pre-eminent wine trade fair.''
But he added: ''Whether this show is organized to be that pre-eminent show is another question. The jury will be out until next week.''
The organizers hope that Vinexpo will be a United Nations of wine, said Robert Beynat, chief executive of Vinexpo, that will ''help develop the North American market.'' But Mr. Fredrikson said the economic downturn ''has negatively affected the consumption of wine in high-end restaurants.'' He added that the timing of the show could be ''inopportune,'' since the industry has already booked all its imports for the holiday season.
Mr. Fredrikson said that Vinexpo has arrived at a time in the business cycle of the $19 billion United States wine market ''where there are large supplies of wine available right now, and so it's a very competitive situation.''
The wine glut, he added, ''may make it difficult for the sellers to get the attention of retailers.''
This is more than a theoretical consideration. Admission to the trade show is free to preregistered professionals (and $40 to latecomers). But exhibitors pay an average of $13,000 to sell their wares. Given all the incidentals, including promotional parties and dinners, Mr. Genova said, ''the cost is at least $25,000 to exhibitors.''
But Mr. Beynat of Vinexpo said that the trade show ''is not here just for this year's market; it is a multiyear investment for the future.'' Planning for the show, which started 18 months ago, only intensified after the terrorist attack at the World Trade Center ''because we very much wanted to show our support for New York City,'' he said.
Organizers of the host of related events are hoping for high visibility in the fall Manhattan social swirl. Aside from the catered galas, tasting dinners and auctions, there is the Bordeaux and Aquitaine Grape Harvest Festival, a selection of food and wine from the region at 15 Manhattan restaurants, including Alain Ducasse, Le Bernardin and Lespinasse.
Mr. Boulud, for example, will be presenting a country-style cabbage soup -- garbure au canard et foie gras -- at Cafe Boulud. The dish is on the menu of La Tupina, a revered restaurant in Bordeaux whose owner and chef, Jean-Pierre Xiradakis, will attend Vinexpo.
In addition, a show at a town house called the Embassy, on East 67th Street in Manhattan, will display art and antiques from Aquitaine chateaus, imported to New York by French dealers. A listing of events can be found at www.vinexpo.com.
Vinexpo, founded 21 years ago in Bordeaux, has raised its ensign every two years since, drawing ever-increasing hordes of thirsty wine professionals to its turf among the world's greatest vineyards.
Last year the show drew more than 2,000 exhibitors from 40 countries and 54,000 visitors. The New York show is its first North American satellite.
''It's all about networking; floating, tasting, seeing, looking for what's new,'' said F. Paul Pacult, editor of Spirit Journal, a quarterly with 12,000 subscribers that is published in Ulster County, N.Y.
Although offerings were predominantly French in the early years, now 40 percent of the exhibits are of non-French wines from around the world.
The event in New York ''is long overdue,'' said Mr. Pacult, who added that ''this is the first time that the French are actually looking at North America as a market that they must capture.''
Some are looking to buyer inquisitiveness for success. ''No two bottles of wine are the same, and wine people are always curious,'' Mr. Genova said. ''We're always willing to fall in love again.''Continue reading the main story
