the chicken.
“It’s a bit different from any salmonel
la in that it can actually colonize the
ovarian tissue of hens,” said Michael
Doyle, professor of food microbiology
and director of the center for food safety.
The salmonella in question caused the
recall of 380 million eggs from several
farms in the Midwest so Georgia is not
affected.
“I believe the ones in Georgia were
caught before they went out to the con
suming public,” said Scott Russell, pro
fessor of poultry processing and products
microbiology. “Right now

a half billion.”
So fear not, students

eggs are safe.
“The recalled egg issue
has not affected UGA
Food Services since we do
not purchase eggs from
the supplier that issued
FLOYD the recall,” said J. Michael
Floyd, executive director
of Food Services.
Jeanne Fry, director of Food Services,
said every time the Food and Drug
Administration or United States
Department of Agriculture issue a recall,
the University is alerted via e-mail, and
Food Services immediately pulls any
affected product from the shelves.
Floyd said Food Services’ eggs come
from the Gainesville area, which is why
they are not affected by the recall.
“In most cases, food suppliers will pull
a product that’s safe,” he said, adding in
this case, most of the eggs recalled prob
ably did not actually have S. enteritidis,
but instead were pulled to err on the side
of caution.
Russell said the recalled eggs were
produced in May, which meant they were

Scrimmage helps fine tune passing game

The Juices were flowing for
Georgia quarterback Aaron
Murray Wednesday. So much so
that he felt “the Jitters” and
made more than a few over
throws in warm-ups prior to the
Bulldogs' third scrimmage of the
fall.
When asked how many people
were In the Sanford Stadium
stands, he laughed. “I don’t know,
40 maybe?” Murray said as senior
receiver Kris Durham quipped,
“15,10,” in his quarterback’s ear.
“All I know Is that there were
about 92,700 less than there will
be in a few weeks,” Murray said.
Georgia head coach Marie
Rlcht wanted to set up a realistic
game situation for his team, and
Wednesday’s scrimmage served
as the perfect dress rehearsal.

Dogs ditch
shelter for
runway
Show helps find
homes for pups
By MICHAEL PROCHASKA
The Red & Black
Athens’ dogs would have
made Tyra proud last night, as
several shelter dogs took to the
runway in a bid for adoption.
Hosted by Hotel Indigo and
put on by BLVD Magazine, dog
lovers all over the city came for
a special night of “Canines and
Cocktails" in hopes of adopting
a fUrry, slobbery, but loyal com
panion from True Love Canine
Rescue.
“I had to go around and get
bowties for cute little dogs,” said
Andrea Paton-ash, a senior pub
lic relations major and intern for
BLVD.
The formal pooch attire,
donated by several local venders
such as Bacon Homemade
Neckwear, were some of the
many raffle prizes owners could
slip in their doggy bags.
The real award, however, was
watching the various breeds of
man’s best friend unleashed, out
of control, and on all fours, pos
ing adorably for cameras with
short attention spans and their
vanity fair.
“It's a really good production
for a good cause, and it’s a cre
ative idea,” said BLVD photog
rapher and junior international
affairs major Hannah Gary.
The idea stemmed from for
mer BLVD director, Kristen
Rachels, and her collaborations
with the magazine.
“I just came up with it like
that,” she said. “It Just seemed
like a really fun thing to do,”

“He stepped up and he did a
good Job,” Durham said. “His
passes were on the money and
high praises to him. I would say
that we are a little ahead of
where we usually are and Aaron
is getting everything and step
ping into a leadership role. He
took command and he was get
ting the formations correct and
he was signaling the plays and
that’s Just a signal of his hard
work.”
Murray himself said that he
could see improvement in his
game from earlier scrimmages.
“There are still a few rookie mis
takes I made, but the main thing
is I’m feeling better and I’m feel
ing more comfortable and I feel
like I took a step forward,”
Murray said.
