Your Home Workout
Buying secondhand equipment
By Ginny Frizzi
Known as Dre the Trainer, fitness expert Andre Farnell, owner of Better Body Expert L.L.C., recommends exercise equipment for his in-home clients. His suggestions for purchasing secondhand exercise equipment include doing your homework, especially if you're looking at a specific piece, to become aware of any recalls. He recommends finding out the manufacturer of the equipment because the best brands of new equipment generally make for the best secondhand equipment.
"Make sure that all of the parts are present and accounted for," he says. "Many people have things sitting in the garage, and over the years bolts and accessories tend to get lost. Offer to pick up any large pieces. You can really negotiate free or low-fee (equipment) on Craigslist or at yard sales."
For Joshua Margolis, founder of Mind Over Matter Health & Fitness, purchasing secondhand exercise equipment is a matter of real value versus cost. If you're not accustomed to a particular piece of equipment, don't get it, he advises. "Try it out first at a gym or health club. Exercise is not about an inanimate object; it's about you. It's all about whether you like the equipment and would use it."
A treadmill is probably the No. 1 piece of exercise equipment bought for home use because "it doesn't take much to walk," Margolis says. Bikes for home use are now being made small and compact enough to fit into a bedroom in a small apartment and elliptical are gaining in popularity as companies design them for home use, he adds. When it comes to secondhand equipment, the fewer moving parts there are the better, he says. "There is less of a chance of it breaking, and it will be easier to get fixed."
Farrell sees purchasing secondhand exercise equipment as usually a "buyer beware" situation and offers additional tips for being an informed consumer. The first is to determine whether the equipment was used often, moderately or at all. "You will want to purchase things in the way of treadmills, elliptical and weight-training machines that were moderately used and still have a manufacturer's warranty," Farnell says. "Equipment that has sat for many years of disuse tends to have issues, for example, dry rot. Avidly used equipment is also a good purchase, but make sure that it is not on its last legs when it becomes yours."
The best purchases are commercial-grade equipment, Farnell notes. "These are the best to snatch up at privately owned neighborhood gyms. Also, small-gym equipment suppliers usually have floor models for sale at heavy discount," he says.
Margolis agrees. "Most gyms lease equipment and trade it in for new equipment every year and a half or so. You can often buy this returned equipment from the supplier," he says. "Be sure to check it out, because it is used equipment, although buying from a supplier or manufacturer is better than Craigslist." It is also important to check the size of equipment to make sure it will fit into your house or apartment.
The American College of Sports Medicine produces a series of free brochures written by experts designed to help the public safely enjoy physical activity and exercise. To download them, go to www.acsm.org. Click on "Access Public Information" and then "Brochures & Fact Sheets." The "Selecting and Effectively Using . . ." series provides guidance on choosing and using equipment such as treadmills, stationary bicycles, and stair machines. There is also information on yoga, walking, exercise and blood pressure, exercise and asthma, and more.
"One of my favorite resources for the public is the ACSM Fit Society Page, which is a quarterly e-newsletter. The fall 2010 issue focuses on healthy aging. Each issue has articles on a range of health and fitness topics," says Dan Henkel, ACSM's senior director of communication and advocacy.
Beata Aldridge of Betterfly suggests an online resource for checking into the price of used equipment: "Something I find handy when trying to buy/sell used items is Worth Monkey, which tells you how much used items are worth. It indexes eBay, Craigslist, depreciation rates and other factors. It only focuses on one aspect and can't tell you too much about the quality of the machine, but it does help to keep you from overspending or to recognize when you're getting a deal," Aldridge says. "It's also good for sellers to keep from pricing themselves out of the market."

And Then Santorum Came To An End: Why The Pennsylvania Senator Withdrew Before His Home State Primary
The only call a politician hates more comes just before a concession speech. And yet, in recent weeks, some current and former Pennsylvania colleagues of Rick Santorum began making the second most-uncomfortable call: they would be supporting Mitt Romney over him.
"It was a very, very difficult discussion to have with Rick. I've supported him in a number of campaigns, and he's supported me with mine," admits Rep. Bill Shuster, who announced his support for Romney last month. "When you have somebody you consider yourself close to, it's very, very difficult to let him know that 'Hey I'm going in another direction.' It's not about friendship, or being from the same state. It's about what I believe is best for America."
Rick Santorum's candidacy always seemed like a pipe dream to everyone but his natural allies, and it was in Pennsylvania, his home state, where Santorum finally came around to the truth. What Shuster believed was best for America was a candidate with ecutive experience, he said, and that's what he explained to Santorum. But, just as important, Shuster and the other Pennsylvania Republicans wanted someone they believed could compete with Barack Obama in battleground states like Pennsylvania and Ohio. And after Santorum's catastrophic 18 point loss in 2006, many in the state's Republican party thought it couldn't be him.
In 2006 Santorum became an avatar, not only for everything Democrats hated about Bush, but also for a kind of religious intolerance that Democrats, and especially young people, would no longer tolerate from someone in national politics. He was hammered for his support of the Iraq War, for No Child Left Behind, for telling the Associated Press "I have no problem with homosexuality, I have a problem with homosexual acts" and his infamous "man on dog" comment. I'm from western Pennsylvania and was a college student at the University of Pittsburgh during the 2006 race, and the indelible images of that race are, for me, these posters of Rick Santorum by the Partisan Project, plastered all over campus: One showed a composite image of Rick Santorum's face with Mullah Omar's beard; another depicted the Pennsylvania Senator with his pants around his ankles, screwing the state of Pennsylvania. They were nasty, and vitriolic, and the message was unsubtle: the state would not be putting up with his buffoonish remarks any longer.
And they didn't. It was a tough year for Republicans nationally, but Pennsylvania Republicans felt that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee did such a good job tying Santorum to down-ticket candidates that it cost many of them points—and a few their reelection.
"Unfortunately he clearly did," drag members of Congress down with him, says former Rep. Phil English, a college friend of Santorum's who also decided to endorse Romney. "I don't know that he's acknowledged this, but back in 2006 two Republicans lost in very close races in Pennsylvania, Mike Fitzpatrick and Melissa Hart. And both were closely tied by the Democrats to Rick Santorum." (Both Hart and Fitzpatrick, who has since been reelected and endorsed Romney, declined to comment on the role Santorum played in their 2006 losses.)
"I think that most of us recognize that Santorum was taking bullets and bleeding on national Republican," English told me, adding that his undertow particularly relevant "because Rick Santorum has made an argument that he's more electable than Romney, and when you look at it from a Pennsylvania perspective that doesn't survive the laugh test."
In the last week, it became clearer that Pennsylvania Republicans were thinking the same thing. Polls showed his lead in the state starting to slide, conservative leaders and strategists began vocalizing their desire to see him get out rather than risk another embarrassing loss.
"I don't think he was happy with my decision," says former Pennsylvania Rep. Phil English, "but he's been a great gentleman throughout. I will leave it to others to qualify the extent to which he has been surprised by a lack of automatic support in a state that he represented for two terms in the Senate."
It was always pretty baffling for Pennsylvania Democrats to see their once-vanquished bogeyman suddenly held up as the nice-guy alternative to Mitt Romney. But in his concession speech just now, Rick went out on all the right notes. He thanked the Duggars. He fondly recalled the sweater vest craze. He shouted out the "Game On" girls, and genuinely seemed to be in wonder of it all, which was really the appropriate way to get out of the race. This was an incredible political reinvention for him, from asshole senator who suffered the worst defeat of an incumbent in Pennsylvania's history to a guy running competitively for the nation's highest office. And if he goes on to be thought of as a well-liked voice for the social conservative movement, a Mike Huckabee type, then his unlikely run for president was a huge success.

This introduction to the new Australian film industry explores prominent directors and stars, themes, styles, and evolving genres in an analysis of key films. The evolution of genres peculiar to Australia and adaptations of conventional Hollywood forms such as the musical and the road movie are examined through readings of landmark films, including "Picnic at Hanging Rock, Mad Max" trilogy, and "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." The key issue of the revival--the definition, representation, and propagation of a national image--is woven through the analysis.

Bucharest (Jan. 9)
Jewish youths in the military classes of 1935 to 1940 were ordered today to report for induction. They must enroll by January 15.
They will constitute the first large group of Jews taken into the Rumanian armed forces since the introduction of anti-Jewish measures by the Antonescu regime. Under that government Jews were used only in forced labor battalions and were forced to pay a tax in lieu of military service.
The Ministry of Agriculture has announced that Jewish boys and girls who plan to emigrate to Palestine will be enabled to secure preparatory training at state farms.

Amlin Challenge Cup preview: Toulouse v Perpignan
Toulouse are without several key players for Friday's Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final against Perpignan.
Last Updated: 05/04/13 7:41pm
Thierry Dusautoir, Yannick Nyanga, Louis Picamoles and Luke McAlister are all missing for the visitors at Stade Aime Giral, while prop Census Johnston is another unavailable for selection.
Vasil Kakovin gets a game up front in the absence of Johnston and Gillian Galan, Sylvain Nicolas and Grégory Lamboley all start in the back row.
Luke Burgess and Lionel Beauxis are the half-back combination as Toulouse, who currently sit third in their domestic league, look to triumph on their travels.
To do so they will have to tame a strong Perpignan side; with work to do to reach the play-offs in league action, the hosts have decided to field their strongest line-up in Europe's second tier competition.
Wales international James Hook starts in the No 10 jersey but it is up front where USAP will look to dominate.
Henry Tuilagi, Alasdair Strokosch and Dan Leo are named in the back row behind lock combination Romain Taofifenua and Sebastien Vahaamahina.
The front-row sees Nicolas Mas, Guilhem Guirado and Sebastien Taofifenua pack down as starters, with loosehead prop Sona Taumalolo on the bench.
Perpignan: 15 Gavin Hume, 14 Farid Sid, 13 Lifeimi Mafi, 12 Sione Piukala, 11 Adrien Plante, 10 James Hook, 9 Florian Cazenave, 8 Henry Tuilagi, 7 Alasdair Strokosch, 6 Dan Leo, 5 Romain Taofifenua, 4 Sebastien Vahaamahina, 3 Nicolas Mas, 2 Guilhem Guirado, 1 Sebastien Taofifenua.

Based in Pensacola, Florida, the sorority's Delta Iota Omega Chapter launched its EYL program during the summer of 2011, under the leadership of past President Dr. Angela McCorvey. Sorority member Dr. Joyce Hopson served as program chair and initiated program activities. Nearly 30 girls, ranging from sixth to eighth grades, along with their parents and mentors, met at Pensacola State College for an interest meeting on
June 28, 2011.
"I really love being in this group for so many reasons," said Kendall Boyce a 2014 EYL participant.

HARTLEY Wintney kept themselves in the promotion places in Southern League Division Two, after 20-run victory over visiting Paultons on Saturday.
Having elected to bat the village side were soon in trouble at 20-3, but thanks to opener Jack Hersh (72) and evergreen Matt Digweed (66) they got the team back on track with a fourth wicket stand worth 105 runs.
Captain Jamie Teale (32) and Digweed added 56 runs for the next partnership, as Hartley were all out for 245 on the last ball of their innings.
Opener Stewart Magee (62) kept Paultons in the hunt, but two wickets each for Ari Karvelas and Mark Teale removed the top order and then Chris Jolley (4-29) did the same with the tail, as the visitors were all out for 225.
Hartley are on their travels this week to OTs and Romsey who are fighting to avoid relegation and could again included Hampshire star Chris Wood in their line-up.

Bruce Springsteen Documentary to Air on HBO
The making of the most recent album by Bruce Springsteen will be the subject of a new documentary. 'Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes' will air on HBO on April 4 at 9:30PM, the network announced today.
The making of the most recent album by Bruce Springsteen will be the subject of a new documentary. 'Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes' will air on HBO on April 4 at 9:30PM, the network announced today.
We're collecting videos of every cover song performed by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on the 'High Hopes' tour.
Bruce Springsteen closed out the Australian segment of his 'High Hopes' tour in Brisbane today (Feb. 26) with a show that confounded even the most devoted of his setlist followers. Springsteen revisited his past in unprecedented fashion and shocked everyone with a cover of the Bee Gees' 'Stayin' Alive.' Here it is for your viewing enjoyment:
A new infographic illustrates the top-selling musicians in America by state of birth, with a number of familiar classic rock greats among those featured.
In support of his new album, 'High Hopes,' Bruce Springsteen has revealed a five-week tour of the United States. Springsteen is currently touring Australia and New Zealand through March 2...
Seasoned performer that he is, Bruce Springsteen knows that there is no better way of ingratiating yourself to an audience than by playing a song by one of their local heroes...
Bruce Springsteen paid tribute to Pete Seeger, who passed away on Monday at the age of 94, at a concert in Cape Town, South Africa, yesterday. He gave a moving speech and performed 'We Shall Overcome,' which Seeger helped turn into a global anthem for human rights.
A week after announcing that he would begin offering fans the opportunity to download concerts from his upcoming 'High Hopes' tour, Bruce Springsteen has made a significant addition to the plan. The new model both reduces the price and does away with its most confusing aspect, the USB wristband.
Bruce Springsteen's new album 'High Hopes' has received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. However, fans all over the world have raved about his appearance last week on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,' where he sang a parody of 'Born to Run' about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's traffic scandal.
Last week's news that Bruce Springsteen was considering offering official downloads of every concert on his tour in support of 'High Hopes' is now a reality. The singer made the announcement today (Jan. 17).
Given the glut of tribute records released over the past couple of decades, it seems impossible that Jackson Browne hasn't gotten one yet -- but that oversight will be corrected on April 1, when an all-star assemblage of musicians comes together for the double-disc set 'Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne.'
Bruce Springsteen, Robert Plant and Eric Clapton are among the headliners for the 2014 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The annual music fest will take place over two three-day weekends from April 25 through May 4.

High Anxiety
05 June 2012
Charlie was crying as he got dressed this morning. I was in the kitchen getting his lunchboxes ready and I saw that the bus had arrived and opened the door to signal we knew it was there.
Charlie came crying down the stairs, screamed and ran out the door, Jim after him. Charlie threw himself on the house of the yard across the street (the blue one seen often in my photos) and banged his head on the trunk of a tan car parked by the grass.
Charlie and Jim came inside and Charlie sat in his brown chair for 20 minutes and ate apple slices.
(Based on years of banging and biting, I've thought he has a need for deep pressure at these times and used to think, if only he could bite into an apple instead of the back of our hands. He doesn't understand biting into an apple (which would give a bigger 'sensory input') but the slices can be handed one by one and they provide just enough materiem to chomp down on.)
Charlie was ok and we all got in the car, with his iPad and a grey pair of sneakers that belong to my mom that he keeps beside him in the car, and drove him to school.
We exchanged nods with the other parents dropping off kids. Charlie went in peacefully.
Outside in the parking lot, a dad was telling a mom about his child running fast and can't-catch-him, as indicated by a motion he made with his arm.
After Jim and I drove home, I knocked on the neighbor's door. They're getting an estimate for what is another butterscotch car.

It Takes A Family To Make A Home
If you've ever built a home with interior designers, you'll know the relationship between the two professions can be adversarial. Construction and esthetics don't always come together seamlessly. But for 23 years, Tom Andrews, Bonnie Walters and Al Black, have delivered stunning homes for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Dream Home Lottery. With their teams and their arsenal of friends, vendors and partners – who often gave up more lucrative jobs and charged only their cost for materials in order … Continue reading

In the music video for single 'I Wanna Touch You', Colby O'Donis is a broken-hearted man when he finds that the girl he loves is no longer single.
In support of his single "I Wanna Touch You" from his forthcoming sophomore set, Colby O'Donis brings forward a music video for the track. He is narrated as a man who falls for a woman who already has a steady relationship with her boyfriend.
No working title and release date have been confirmed for Colby's new album. But, it has been promised to bring lots of "eclectic sounds." Beside having "I Wanna Touch You", the record is also likely to feature such tracks as "Never Fall In Love Again", "Ooh Ahh", "I'm In Love", and "Shake Your Body", all of which have been leaked for quite some time.
Colby O'Donis is a 20-year-old singer, dancer, songwriter and producer who has worked with the likes of Lady GaGa and Akon. He joins forces with GaGa in Grammy Award-nominated single "Just Dance" and teams up with Akon in a song called "Beautiful" which peaked at number 3 on iTunes Most Downloaded Songs chart.
Aside from crafting his new album, Colby has also made a guest appearance in Brooke Hogan's reality TV series "Brooke Knows Best". On top of that, he will also be joining the songstress/TV personality on a European tour.

Notes from Fridays damp practice:
Wideout Bobo Beathard (Haymarket, Va./Battlefield) continued his impressive fall camp by making a spectacular touchdown catch in 11-on-11 drills for the second-straight day. On his latest highlight-reel-worthy play, the junior leaped high over a defender at the end of a fly route to haul in a 40-yard touchdown pass from Kameron Bryant (Cary, N.C./Panther Creek).
In the period following Beathards catch, Appalachian States defense got the best of the offense in 7-on-7 passing drills. Interceptions by true freshmen A.J. Howard (Hamilton, Ga./Harris County) and Devan Stringer (Gainesville, Ga./Gainesville) and sophomore Alex Gray (Suwanee, Ga./Peachtree Ridge) headlined the defensive effort.
In an 11-on-11 period that featured third-down-and-two plays, redshirt freshman running back Terrence Upshaw (Duluth, Ga./Northview), Bryant and fellow quarterback Taylor Lamb (Calhoun, Ga./Calhoun) had nifty runs to pick up first downs and more. Upshaw followed stout blocking on the left side of the offensive line for a 30-yard gain, Bryant made a great fake en route to an eight-yard pickup on a quarterback draw and Lamb kept the ball on an option and followed terrific downfield blocking all the way to the end zone for a 35-yard touchdown.
The afternoon closed with two series simulating the following late-game situation: offenses ball on its own 49 yard line with 41 seconds to go in the game, down by two points with one timeout remaining. In the first series, pitting the first-team offense against the first-team defense, the offense drove to the edge of field-goal range but with less than 20 seconds remaining and no timeouts left, defensive end Olawale Dada (Columbus, Ga./Shaw) came off the left edge to sack Bryant and the defense came away with the win. On the final series, which matched up the second-team offensive and defensive units, inside linebacker D.J. Ward (Elizabeth City, N.C./Northeastern) picked off a pass by Lamb and raced 60 yards for a would-be victory-sealing touchdown with two seconds left on the clock.
Fridays practice was the last of eight that were open to the general public during the first week of Appalachian States 2014 fall camp. Practices will be closed going forward as the Mountaineers begin to install their gameplan for the Aug. 30 opener at Michigan. However, appstatesports.com will continue to have recaps and video reports from the practice field for the duration of fall camp, leading up to Appalachian States first day of class on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

Rivlin Plans to Bar MKs for Serious Ethical Violations
Knesset Speaker-designate Reuven Rivlin (Likud) plans to enact legislation to enable Knesset members to be suspended for serious ethical violations and will set up a high-level public commission to examine ways to improve the Knesset's poor image.
He also intends to introduce a British-style "Question Time" for ministers.
Rivlin has already begun consulting former Knesset speakers and Supreme Court presidents about the public commission, but has not yet decided who should chair it or who its members should be. He has also asked the Knesset's research center to begin researching steps other parliaments have taken to counteract similar image problems.
The Israel Democracy Institute's annual Democracy Index found that only 29 percent of Israelis had faith in the Knesset in 2008, down from 52 percent in 2003. This puts the Knesset far below the president (47 percent), the Supreme Court (49 percent) and the Israel Defense Forces (71 percent), though above the prime minister (17 percent) and the political parties (15 percent).
Rivlin believes that some MKs' poor ethical behavior, along with the Knesset's lack of an effective response, are part of the problem. "A large part of the public views us as a rabble of miscreants," he said. "We must cleanse the camp."
During his last term as speaker, in the 16th Knesset (2003-06), Rivlin therefore appointed a public commission, chaired by former Supreme Court justice Yitzhak Zamir, to draft a new code of ethics for Knesset members. However, the Zamir Commission submitted its conclusions only about two years ago, during the 17th Knesset, and the MKs never ratified its conclusions.
Rivlin said he intends to implement all of Zamir's recommendations - "even if the MKs don't want a code of ethics, and it has to be forced on the Knesset" - with one exception: appointment of an "ethics advisor" for the Knesset. That is the proposal that aroused most opposition from the MKs, and Rivlin deems it unnecessary.
The recommendations he does intend to implement include strict rules to prevent conflicts of interest. "There are politicians who are for sale for the price of a meal in a restaurant," he once told a seminar on Knesset ethics.
Rivlin also intends to amend the Basic Law on the Knesset to enable MKs to be suspended for serious ethical violations. Currently, an MK can be temporarily barred from certain types of parliamentary activity, but this does not deprive him of his pay. Full suspension, which is currently impossible, would include loss of pay while the suspension is in force.
A suspended MK would be replaced temporarily by the next available person on the party's list.
Research conducted by the Knesset's research center in 2005 found that most Western democracies do permit suspensions of legislators who commit serious violations. However, this sanction is very rarely used, and even then the suspension is usually brief. Britain, for instance, has never suspended a member of parliament for more than a month, while France has never suspended a legislator at all.

Microbiological contamination of dried and lyophilized garlic as a potential source of food spoilage
Garlic is valued more for its flavoring and used in a wide variety of foods. In food technology, fresh garlic is not used, but instead its processed forms, most often dried and lyophilized, are utilized. The quality and safety of the final product largely depends on their microbiological quality. This research has provided information about effect of garlic fixation methods and provided information about effect of microbiological contamination of garlic used as a spice for quality of garlic mayonnaise sauce. The authors decided to undertake studies following a report from one of the manufacturers of garlic sauces on product defects which originated in dried garlic used in the production process. Samples of garlic (n = 26) were examinated using standard cultural methods (counts of fungi, lactic acid bacteria–LAB, spore-producing Bacillus sp. and the presence of anaerobic saccharolytic and proteolytic clostridia), automated system TEMPO (total viable count, Enterobacteriaceae), immunoenzymatic method using VIDAS tests (occurrence of Salmonella sp. and Listeria monocytogenes). The number of total viable count was ranged from 3.51 to 6.85 log CFU/g. Enterobacteriaceae were detected only in one sample. Comparably low values were recorded for fungi (1.30 to 3.47 log CFU/g). The number of LAB was ranged from 2.34 to 5.49 log CFU/g. Clostridium sp. were detected in 22 samples. Salmonella sp. and Listeria monocytogenes were not detected. It was found that garlic, regardless of th preservation procedure, might be a source of contamination of garlic mayonnaise sauce especially with lactic acid bacteria and Clostridium sp. spores.

>Gears and Wears>windows 8 won't recognize USB ant stick
I installed the Garmin Ant Agent on a new Windows 8 Surface Pro computer and cannot get it to recognize the USB ant stick. Has anyone successfully installed on Windows 8? So far Garmin tech support has not been helpful.
"Any idiot can run a marathon. It takes a special kind of idiot to run an ultramarathon." - Alan Cabelly
I didn't have any trouble using the Garmin Ant Agent with Windows 8. I'm afraid I can't be of much more help, as I hated Windows 8 and am now using a Mac.

It turned out the problem is USB 3.0 rather than Windows 8. Garmin is working towards a solution.

Romania has formally agreed to take specific steps toward compensation for Jewish property seized during World War II, said Elan Steinberg, executive director of the World Jewish Congress.
The agreement was signed last week by the Romanian government, the World Jewish Restitution Organization and the Federation of Romanian Jewish Communities, he said.
"It's a significant breakthrough," Steinberg said of the Sept. 7 signing. "It will set the pattern for Eastern and Central Europe."
He added that the agreement was similar to one recently made with Hungary.
Points agreed upon include the following: * Within a year, the Romanian government will submit draft legislation to Parliament on the compensation of seized Jewish property. * An executive order will be issued to open relevant archives and files. * In two months, the WJRO will submit a preliminary list of property seized.
The Jewish population of Romania was 600,000 before World War II.
During the 1940-1944 rule of the pro-Nazi Ion Antonescu, more than 250,000 Jews died in territories controlled by Romania.
Some 15,000 Jews, many of whom are elderly, now live in Romania.
Another 400,000 have emigrated to Israel since the end of World War II.

Semi-Subsistence Farming Situation And Policy €" The Example Of Hungary
In Hungary small farms have played very important role since collectivization (1959-61). Up to radical changes small households have received strong support from coops in the field of providing inputs on one side and, marketing their products on the other. The latter was disrupted by radical reforms and small farms started struggling with survival under market conditions. Government took measures to provide a development path for those having a chance to become competitive after five years development. Three calls (2004, 205 and 2006) were released. In Hungary SSF from three regions were more interested in getting the grant as North Great Plain, South Transdanubia and South Great Plain. All three regions are agriculture dominated ones. The policy with the call has reached a very moderate number of SSFs and, on the other side small farms, either because not meeting the criteria of the call or not wanted to take the additional costs of being registered and monitored for such a small amount of support decided not to apply. The paper ends with policy lessons.

The upper features a bright tone of orange with a white midsole and speckled blue Air unit and translucent outsole. Surely a Hardwood Classic inspired colorway, these would've been a big hit had they released.

Berkeley rallies to beat Bluffton in OT
Bluffton coach Brett Macy has said all season that Region 7-AAA is going to be competitive, and his team is going to have to be ready to play every night.
That proved true again on Tuesday in Bluffton, when the Bobcats blew a 15-point lead and lost in overtime to Berkeley, 58-53. It was the second time the Bobcats have played overtime in three region games, and all three have been decided by five points or less.
"You definitely feel like one slipped away," Macy said afterwards. "But as I told our guys, it's going to be wild."
Berkeley's bus got two flat tires on the way to Bluffton, adding another hour or more to an already long trip. After Stags guard D.C. Cunningham opened up the game with a three-pointer, they couldn't keep up with the Bobcats for the next seven minutes. Bluffton forced seven turnovers and ended the first quarter on an 18-2 run.
"That's the tempo we want to play," said junior point guard Anthony Smith, who finished with 12 points. "We want to get stops on defense and get the ball out and go."
But Berkeley finally woke up in the second quarter and began to slowly cut into the lead with a renewed intensity and strong offensive rebounding. Even though Bluffton's Brandon Rivers scored the last four points, the lead at the half was just seven.
The Stags opened the second half on a 6-0 run and finally took the lead on Cunningham's basket with just under a minute left in the second quarter. The game stayed close through the fourth quarter, setting up a heroic moment for Smith with about 20 seconds left.
"As I came I looked at the clock and saw we were down 3, so I said I'm going to shoot no matter what," Smith said.
When no one came out to meet him, he pulled up from about 23 feet and fired a high-arcing three that found all net. Cunningham's last-second shot to prevent overtime 16 seconds later wasn't even close.
But Berkeley's standout guard — who finished with 23 points and gave Bluffton problems all night with his quickness and ability to get to the rim — scored all seven of his team's points in overtime. The Bobcats made just one of four shots and committed four turnovers.
"We drove in there, I thought we could have got bumped a couple times," Macy said. "But we just didn't finish. Whether it was a bump or not, it wasn't a big bump."
In overtime and throughout the game, Rivers had no problem getting past his man, even though he wasn't always able to finish. The senior guard finished with a season-high 19 points and made all seven of his free throws.
Close games are nothing new for Bluffton, and Macy said his team's improved maturity and focus would be crucial moving forward in region play. The Bobcats have lost two straight five-point games, after winning their first four this season that were decided by five points or less.
With the loss, the 8-7 Bobcats fell to 2-1 in region play, where they sit in a four-way tie for first with Lake Marion, Cane Bay, and Battery Creek, who will visit Bluffton on Friday.
Berkeley 5 16 14 16 7 58

Bluffton — Smith 12, Frazier 9, Rivers 19, Grant 3, Bell 4, Smalls 5, Hill 1. 53.

Local TV – Intro
By the Project for Excellence in Journalism
After several difficult years, there are some positive signs heading into 2005 for local television news, the most pervasive source of news for Americans, if not always the most respected.
The economy appears to have stabilized and begun a recovery. Advertising revenues, boosted by political advertising, grew in 2004, though slowly. Ratings, dropping for years, appeared finally to be leveling off. And while newsroom investments are still below where they were a few years ago and the pressure to deliver high profit margins is unabated, data show newsrooms overall added resources this past year.
One new area of concern for local TV news, however, is evidence that the public is worried about the medium's believability, with fewer people giving it high ratings for being trustworthy and more people rating it poorly.
In recent years, three trends converged to create an almost perfect storm that battered local broadcasting.
- Concentration of ownership and the costs concentration entails led to increasing debt service, much of it taken out of station budgets.
- Audience declines accelerated.
- Finally, in 2000, the economy peaked, the stock market bubble burst, and a recession followed.
As these events consumed the attention of industry managers, local TV news in many ways languished. Efficiency not only dictated how newsrooms worked; it became the driving force in determining what was news and how it should be covered.
Now, the regulatory environment appears to be changing in response to public concerns about the concentration of media ownership. The shift follows several high-profile incidents of supposed obscenity or "indecency" on radio and TV, sloppy journalism, and accusations of overt political bias. There appears to be a growing perception among regulators and the general public that an imbalance has developed between the commercial and public-service responsibilities of local broadcasters.
The decade-long decline in viewership of evening and late news appears to be stabilizing, at least for the time being. In addition, the loss of local TV news viewers during traditional time periods has been accompanied by increasing news audiences in other time slots, particularly mornings. As one researcher describes the local TV news audience, "It's just not when it used to be, and it's not when TV stations want it."1
Local managers may be coming to grips with the evolution of local TV news from a mass-market product to a niche product. The addition of more news programming with more targeted content seen in new late-afternoon and early-morning newscasts is an example of how stations have reacted to the trend.
As corporations and managers better understand the changes that have taken place in the media marketplace and are better able to project viewership and advertising trends, investment in the news product may increase. More stations are providing local news than ever before, according to industry surveys, and 2003 saw a majority of stations increasing news budgets for the first time in years. (See News Investment.) Nexstar, a company that owns 46 TV stations, has recently set out to increase its investment in news programming for pragmatic reasons. "If we are asking the community to invest their ad dollars with us…then we must invest in public affairs," company president Perry Sook explained in an interview with a trade magazine.2
The nature of this investment will be important. In recent years, newsroom staffs did not grow in proportion to the increased amount of news programming local stations added. Moreover, the additional hiring that did occur was often in the infrastructure of production (producers, anchors, directors) rather than in newsgathering (reporters, photographers, editors).
The result was more local news on the air than ever before, but with thinner content. This is illustrated in the decline of on-air reporting, the increased coverage of events that are easy to find and report, and an increase in the use of material from outside sources.
News directors are also complaining about the cost of switching to digital and the impact that's having on station budgets. A number of stations changed hands, according to some observers, because some small companies couldn't afford the costly switch to digital.
The expansion of people meters to measure audiences will also provide newsrooms with even more research about audience preferences. This may lead to further attempts to target specific kinds of news to certain time periods or audience demographics. Or it may convince managers that the best technique to retain or build audience is to increase enterprise.
Some in the industry now believe that the success of local stations may rest less on their ability to be all things to all people (the mass-market model) and more on establishing an intensely local identity based on distinctive characteristics of a market. If this perception is accurate, it suggests that the large corporations that own local stations should de-emphasize central control, encourage stations to establish unique brands and personalities, and encourage risk and innovation. News managers may now be positioned to put proportionally fewer investment dollars into the technology used to deliver news and more dollars into newsgathering for its broadcasts.
Even the consultants seem to recognize that to survive, local TV news must move beyond just presenting the news well. The news itself must become more relevant and more substantive.

1950 Allard J2 news, pictures, specifications, and information
Chassis Num:
English Chassis, American Power
Sydney Allard an avid automobile racer and Ford dealer in London, produced 1,900 cars from 1946 to 1959. Most of these were family cars for the domestic market, but he also produced fewer than 200 J-series Allards, intended for competition. A majority of the J-series cars were exported, without engines, mostly to the United States where modern American V-8s were installed.
The J2 was an evolution from a long line of sports racers produced by racing enthusiasts Sydney Allard. He won the 1952 Monte Carlo rally and his lightweight race cars became popular in the United States.
Several engines were available, including a Ford 239 cubic-inch V-8, a Cadillac 331 cubic-inch V-8 and a Chrysler 331 cubic-inch Hemi V-8, which is installed in this car.
J2 Allards were built during 1950 and 1951. The combination of a light car and powerful engine resulted in a potent performance, and they dominated the racing scene for this brief period. Mostly Cadillac engines were installed, but Ford and Chrysler engines were sometimes fitted. (The factory would install the requested engine mounts before shipping the engineless car.) Only 89 J2 Allards were built and perhaps a couple dozen have survived.
The J2 Allard displayed was shipped to the US in the summer of 1950 less engine, transmission, wheels, instruments and electrics. The car was shipped in a crate to Los Angeles in August of 1950. The buyer, Col. Charles Steinmetz, installed a Mercury Ardun engine and raced it at Pebble Beach in 1951. No further history of the car is known, other than that it was sold later in 1951. The present owner purchased it in 1963, with the present 1951 Chrysler engine installed. He raced it for several years in vintage car racing, and had the car professionally restored in 2003.

This car left the London docks on March 2, 1950, bound for the Bell Auto Parts speed shop in Bell, California. the car was imported and owned by Mr. Roy Richter, who owned the Bell Auto Parts Company. It came with a Ford Mercury Flathead engine in it, which was soon replaced with a Cadillac OHV 331 cubic inches. The car was painted silver with red leather upholstery, as you see it now.
This car was extensively raced in Southern California by Roy, most notably at Torrey Pines, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, Willow Springs and Santa Ana. Its most significant race was at Tustin, California where it won the first Santa Ana Road Race, just beating out the future World Champion, Phil Hill, in a Jaguar XK 120 Lightweight.
Upon Roy's death, Mrs. Richter sold the J2 to Kenny McLaughlin, who stored the car for ten years. The car was then sold to Duncan Emmons, who restored it.
The car is currently owned and raced by Bernard Dervieux of Palm Desert, California.

Sydney Allard was an ingenious and competitive specials builder in the U.K. after World War II. Driving his own cars he won the British Hillclimb Championship, led at LeMans, and in 1952 won the Monte Carlo Rally outright, narrowly beating Stirling Moss.
The cars of Sydney Allard, Britain's premier competitor and builder just before and after World War II, had established such a reputation that orders came from throughout the free world for cars built by his works of about 250 employees.
About 1900 Allards of all types were built between 1946 and the mid-fifties with the J2 and J2X perhaps being the most well-known models. With the Cadillac engine fitted as an option, these two models became formidable competitors on the post-war U.S. sports car circuits.
During 1949, the J2 was announced, a handsome two-seat sports roadster that was both a road and competition car. Differing from the earlier Leslie Ballamy-designed split-axle, swing-arm front suspension, the J2 came with coil springs up front and a DeDion-type rear assembly replacing the previous live axle, giving the new line remarkable handling for the time.
Engines of J2s for the British market ranged from 85 horsepower Ford 'flathead' V8s to a Mercury 'flathead' V8 of 152 horsepower. J2s were often shipped to United States buyers without engines and gearboxes, and were usually fitted with overhead valve American V8s made by Cadillac, Oldsmobile or, during late 1951, Chrysler's new 180 horsepower Hemi.
Any American V8 made an Allard a formidable performer - the 427 Cobra of its time. Sydney's works built cars to order, and this car is a one-off example of custom body work.
This Allard, J2 1733, was purchased by its current owner in 1986, having spent its previous 22 years in an open-sided shed. Removing it from this shed required jacking up the center of the car because the frame rails were rusted in half. Upon disassembly, finding an identification tag from the Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio, led to the discovery that it had been used as a test bed vehicle for a top secret sports car development project underwritten by the Murray Body Company.
Additionally, it was learned that this was the only J2 Allard produced with full front wings, as opposed to the standard cycle fenders.
With 89 J2 Allards built, almost all with cycle fenders, the order specified all-enclosing front bodywork that was judged to be too expensive to replicate as a regular model. During restoration, this Allard was discovered to have been the development test-bed of a sports car for the Murray Body Company.

This 1950 J-2 Allard was raced by the company founder, Sydney Allard and his co-driver Tommy Cole, in the 1950 LeMans endurance race. It finished an impressive third overall and first in class, averaging nearly 88 MPH, for the full 24 hours. This accomplishment is compound by the fact that the car had only top gear for the last 11 hours. This was the first attempt by Allard at LeMans and was the highest finish ever of any factory Allard.
The Allard arrived stateside after Le Mans and was raced from 1950-53 at Watkins Glen, Bridgehampton, Sebring, Torrey Pines, Santa Barbara and other tracks. Its career ended with a cockpit fire in 1954 while at Santa Barbara. Joe Landaker (a noted mechanic for Parravano, Edgar, and Von Neumann) purchased the car in 1955. He placed it into storage. It was purchased by the present owners in 1988, completing their multi-year search for the 'lost Le Mans Allard.'
The car was restored to its 1950 Le Mans livery in Australia in 2001. It has been actively campaigned in historic races in both Australia and the western United States.
In 1936, Sydney Allard founded the Allard Motor Company in England. He was a racer who got into commercial auto production as a way to provide support for his sports pursuits. In total, the company produced 1,900 cars before closing in 1959.
After the close of World War II, Allard saw the potential of the United States market and proceeded to build 12 J2s in 1946 followed by 90 starting in 1950. Many of the cars were shipped to the United States without engines and then fitted with powerplants to the customer's specifications. Most were given a Ford flat-head V8, but some were also built with Cadillac and Chrysler engines. The car rode on a 100 inch wheelbase and weighed in at 1700 pounds. J2X production finished the series in 1954. Allard J2 and J2Xs dominated American sports car racing in the early 1950s.
A major feature of the Allard was the deDion rear end fabricated from light steel tubing and a Ford 'banjo' center section. This gave the Allards a form of independent rear suspension years ahead of the competition.
This example was raced in the United States and Argentina as the 'Bar Leak Special.' The current owner purchased the car over five decades ago.
The Allard was once described on the pages of Road & track magazine as 'the most consistently successful hot rod of all time.' The car was the creation of Sydney Allard.
The J-2 was the most famous of all Allards built. Only 90 are believed to have been built, but sorting out the question of which cars had which engine poses an ongoing challenge for Allard enthusiasts to this day. The car were extensively raced, wrecked, repaired and rebuilt.
The motors that made the Allard J-2's reputation were Chrysler and Cadillac motors, both displacing 331 cubic-inches. They were rated from the factory at 180 and 160 horsepower, respectively - but were easily pushed beyond that.
The cars were raced throughout the United States as well as in Europe and South America.
The car was brought to the United States in the mid-1970s, having a previous race history in the United Kingdom. This car features several modifications which make it especially roadworthy, including a Borg-Warner T10 gearbox.
The restoration of this car was completed in March of 2011.
This Allard Model J2 was driven to victory at the 1950 Watkins Glen Grand Prix by Erwin Goldschmidt. This was the type of car that could be driven during the week by its owner - and raced on the weekend.
In 1929 Sydney Herbert Allard began working in the Adlards Motors garage, an official Ford dealer, preparing racers for international motor racing. His Allard Specials quickly proved their potential and Allards reputation began to build. After racing motorcycles and three-wheeled Morgan's, he began racing four-wheeled vehicles. During World War II, the Allard Motor Company repaired military vehicles. Though their duties kept them very busy, Allard still found time to design and build sports cars.
In 1936 the first Allard Special, commonly referred to as the CLK5 because of its registration number, had been created using Ford products. It sat atop a Ford 40 chassis, outfitted with a Ford flat-head V8 engine, and given a Bugatti Type 51 body. The cockpit was pushed back as far as possible with much of the weight resting on the rear wheels. The lightweight construction and ample ground clearance made the Allard Special a formidable opponent on the racing circuit. This success translated to increased interest in a production version of the Special. Prior to World War II, a few Specials were created that were powered by the Ford V8 or a Lincoln V12. The flat-head engine and its manifold design was its Achilles heal, which often overheated at high speeds. Nevertheless, the Specials continued to be highly competitive, though produced in limited numbers.
After World War II, Allard introduced the J1. Under the hood was a 3.6 liter Ford V8 engine matted to a three-speed manual gearbox. The engine continued to suffer from overheating problems and was criticized as being underpowered. The front suspension was a split axle with a live axle in the rear. Transverse leaf springs were also used in the front and rear. The J1 carried a full body with removable wings which could be replaced with cycle fenders, leaving the J1 prepared for road and track. In total there were twelve examples of the J1 produced.
The J1 was quickly followed by the K1, a two-seater sports car. Produced in larger quantities, the K1 was profitable and provided means in which to continue their race car creations.
The next iteration of the Allard race cars was the J2, introduced in 1950 and designed similar to its J1 sibling. The transverse leaf springs of the J1 were replaced with coils and the live axle was changed in favor of a De Dion setup. The engine was moved even further back putting extra weight on the rear tires, a design Allard continued to favor. The Ford side-valve V8 was the engine of choice however a variety of engines were used including Cadillac's pushrod V8 and Chrysler's HEMI.
A year later the J2X was introduced which was nearly identical to the J2 but had its engine moved forward providing more cockpit room. The J2X Le Mans and JR were enclosed bodies and the final iteration of the J2 racer.
Sydney Allards greatest appearance at a sporting event came in 1950 when he and Tom Cole drove a J2, powered by a Cadillac engine, to a first in class victory and third overall finish at the prestigious 24 hours of Le Mans race. This was truly an impressive accomplishment and a testament to the abilities of the automobile. The Allard J1, J2, and J2X racers have dominated racing on many continents and continue to provide stiff competition in modern Historic sporting events.
In 1959 Allard was forced to cease production due to financial difficult and rising competition from other marques. A total of 1908 Allards had been constructed.

Every year, the Hollywood machine churns out more than 70 drama and comedy pilots, the crop from which television network executives hope to skim the cream.
Australian actors have a track record of doing well in the US pilot season - the period between February and March when most US pilots are cast - but few are as lucky as 26-year-old Sisters of War actress Sarah Snook.
Snook is, in some ways, still an emerging star in her own country. But, in the US for her first pilot season, she secured a lead in the new series Clementine.
The pilot is for the US's ABC - whose schedule includes Modern Family and Revenge - and in it Snook will play psychic Clementine Ross, whose life shifts unexpectedly when she ''decides to stop running from her past''.
She joins almost a dozen Australian actors in the US who have secured roles in this year's pilot crop so far. They include INXS mini-series star Damon Herriman, Offspring's Don Hany, Home and Away's Indiana Evans and The Glades' Matt Passmore.
Not every pilot gets the green light to a series, though it is increasingly common for US networks to order at least 13 episodes in some cases. Under The Dome and the US remake of Secrets and Lies, for example, were given ''full series'' orders.
Herriman, recently in Australia playing the role of band manager Chris Murphy in the miniseries INXS: Never Tear Us Apart, has secured a role in one of the most anticipated new US projects, Battle Creek, from the creator of Breaking Bad, writer-producer Vince Gilligan. It is being produced by Sony Pictures Television for CBS.
Former McLeod's Daughters star Matt Passmore has been cast in a new pilot from Nip/Tuck and Suits producer Sean Jablonski which will be filmed in Atlanta.
Another major casting puts former Offspring hunk Don Hany in new medical drama pilot Warriors. Hany, who secured the role before even getting a US agent, also starred in the ABC and HBO co-production Serangoon Road. He will play a trauma surgeon in the series, which is set in a fictional version of the US military hospital, Walter Reed Military Medical Centre.
Former Home and Away star Indiana Evans has secured a role in the US remake of Secrets and Lies, an Australian murder mystery screening on the Ten Network. That role puts Evans in an enviable position, starring alongside US film actors Juliette Lewis and Ryan Philippe.
Former Rush star Ashley Zukerman has landed a role in Manhattan. It tells the story of the assembly of the world's first atomic bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Isabelle Cornish, meanwhile, will star in the US remake of the Dutch series Vuurzee, which is titled Sea of Fire. And NIDA graduate Natasha Bassett, from TV series Rake, has secured a role in the Fox pilot Here's Your Damn Family.
Australians dominated last year's pilot season, with roles going to Luke Mitchell, Bob Morley, Chris Egan, Lincoln Lewis and Luke Bracey, among others.
