The foundations of Vajrayana practice are laid out with eloquence and precision here by one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters of our age. His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche's commentary on the preliminary practices (ngöndro) is informed by his profound realization and wide-ranging scholarship, and illuminated with an array of quotations from the Vinaya, Sutra, and Tantra traditions. In addition to the commentary on the outer and inner preliminary practices, he provides other invaluable instructions on the correct view, conduct, and activity of a practitioner. Dudjom Rinpoche taught that the realization of the teachings of the Great Perfection depends entirely on the practice of these preliminary practices, thus his compassionate exposition of them here makes this book a particularly precious resource for anyone who seeks to remove the obstacles between themselves and the total freedom of enlightenment.News & Reviews

John J. Morasco, 92, a retired antiques dealer who had shops in Chestnut Hill and Center City, died May 7 at his home in Oreland.
Mr. Morasco had operated an antiques shop in the 8100 block of Germantown Avenue from 1955 to 1964, then moved his business to "Antiques Row" at 10th and Pine streets in Philadelphia.
Earlier, he had worked for the Filippi Brothers iron-working firm in Chestnut Hill and for a time had his own welding and iron-working shop in the 7900 block of Germantown Avenue. Here he constructed metal gates for the Bethlehem Steel Company.
Mr. Morasco served in World War II with the Army Engineer Corps in England and Germany. He was an active member of Chestnut Hill's VFW Post 5205.
Born and raised in Chestnut Hill, he was one of eight children of Giachino and Filomena Chioda Morasco.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, the former Evelyn Hayter; a daughter, Joan Parsons; six grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. A son, John L. Morasco, and seven siblings preceded him in death.
Funeral services were private. – WF

NASL Signed Cards
Hi - My name is Ian Morris, and for many years I have collected the autographs of ex-NASL players, and have been asked so many times to show them off in their entirety. So, this is my collection of signed NASL teams cards. I will be adding new cards as I receive them, but the post dates will not change.
If there are any former NASL players that come across this, and want to be a part of my collection, please could you email me at:
Please click on the team's name in the "Blog Archive" section to see that team's collection.

About Me
TB Rowdie
I grew up supporting Chelsea, my favourite player was John Boyle, a rough Scottish player, as a defender he would follow the forwards he was marking all over the pitch. Giving them a kick every now and again, to let them know he was around. He also had a bit of flair, not like the superstars of today. Later in his career, when he left Chelsea for Leyton Orient, it broke my heart. But, I continued to follow his career. Then he went to the States to play for the newly formed Tampa Bay Rowdies in 1975. With thanks to a then penpal, I continued to follow his career from afar. Because of this, I became a big fan of the Rowdies, which has continued to this very day. A team that is still sadly missed, but are to return in 2010. I was once asked which football/soccer player would I most like to meet, I thought of the likes of Pele, Cruyff, Rep, Rivelino but there is only one for me and that is Rodney Marsh. I was also a big fan of the North American Soccer League.

Minnesota Hunters Take 45 Bull Moose in 2012
VIRGINIA (AP) - Preliminary figures show hunters registered 45 bull moose during northeastern Minnesota's 2012 moose season.
The Department of Natural Resources issued 87 permits for the bulls-only season, down from 96 in 2011. Wildlife managers say 52 percent of parties were successful, compared with 58 percent last year when state-licensed hunters took 53 moose. The sport season ran Sept. 29-Oct. 14, while a separate tribal season runs through Dec. 31.
This year's harvest was five below the 50 the DNR projected last spring when it decided to proceed despite a sharp decline in the state's moose population. It was estimated last winter at 4,230, down 14 percent from 2011 and less than half the 2006 estimate. Wildlife managers say the main reasons likely include parasites, diseases and warmer weather, rather than hunting.

- No top 5s, no worries: On VoxEU John Gibson summarizes some of his new research which looks at the relationship between top 5 journal publications and salaries in the UC system "Even among tenured full professors, one in six have never published in the top-five journals; these without-top-five economists are found in eight of the nine University of California economics departments….Turning to the effect on salary, conditional on overall research output, there is no statistically significant penalty for economists lacking an article in top-five journals."
- 3ie has released the first of its papers replicating an existing study – a paper replicating Jensen and Oster's QJE paper on the effects of cable television on women's status in rural India. Jensen and Oster respond "We recognize the scientific merit of replication and fully support such efforts. We also appreciate the willingness of the authors to take on this (often contentious, and thankless) process, as well as the considerable amount of effort the authors have put into their study. However, we disagree with the content and conclusions of their replication…It should also be emphasized to replicating authors that the goal of a replication is not to overturn the results of a previous paper.". The last section of their detailed reply has recommendations on how to improve the replication process.
- Cyrus Samii on the limits of meta-analysis and "best evidence synthesis" as an alternative: "in very few cases will we have enough high quality and truly comparable studies for meta-analytic methods to be applied in a way that makes sense…we end up with reviews that compromise either on study quality standards or comparability standards so as to obtain a large enough set of studies to fulfill the sample size needs for conducting a meta analysis! These compromises are masked by the use of generic effect size metrics. This is the ultimate in the tail wagging the dog, and the result is a lot of crappy evidence synthesis"
- Microcredit and poverty alleviation – the Economist's Free Exchange blog on the Morocco microfinance RCT
- Please do not teach this woman to fish – Foreign Policy on the limits to small-scale entrepreneurship in developing countries.
- Poverty under the microscope – The Chronicle of Higher Education discusses the to and fro about RCTs and development with quotes from many of the usual suspects.
- On the LSE Impact of social sciences blog, Orianna Bandiera discusses her research in Zambia testing the importance of emphasizing social motivations versus career motivations in recruiting health workers. Emphasizing career motivations attracts higher quality workers.

On (internal) replications, 2
On (internal) replications, 2 questions / thoughts. (1) At what point does the peer review process start involving replication, so that "kinks" (when they are there and that is what they are) can be addressed before publication and, perhaps more consequentially, before giving policy advice? (2) Would it be better or worse (or neither) to fund 2 replications at the same time, so that the exercise doesn't just result in one set of new results against the original but rather something that could maybe be a conversation, rather than a fight, starter.
The main problem with these
The main problem with these 3ie replications is that they are meant to be massive exercises on data mining, as Jensen and Oster clearly point out. What other purpose a replicator could pursue other than to be able to claim that the original results were not robust. We know that already! Nothing is robust 100% robust. If you estimate 100 different specifications, you will find that in at least 5% of them, one effect vanishes, and possible that will happen many more times. However, many, if not most of those 100 alternative specifications are not necessarily better than the ones reported in the paper nor even right. Thus, publish a report at the 3ie website disputing a paper is nothing more than just that.
Thanks for highlighting the
Thanks for highlighting the publication of our first 3ie-funded replication study. This first pilot study was a few years in the making and was commissioned before we established the policies for 3ie's replication programme. As Jensen and Oster mention in their comment, the policies and procedures we now have in place address some of their suggestions. Our notification and communication policy for replication research ensures original authors are informed beforehand of any public discussions of the replication study. It also outlines the replication plans we now require our researchers to publish before conducting their study (created partially to avoid "kitchen sink" replication studies). We believe there are many incentives to conduct (internal) replication studies beyond catching "mistakes". Good evidence-based policy making often requires better understanding of the robustness of research, an exploration of possible heterogeneous impacts of the findings, or confirmation of the intervention's causal chain.

|Mexican Chicken Wings
|Tulum Ruins in Cozumel Our Vacation Cruise Trip
The staples of Mexican cuisine are typically corn and beans. Corn, traditionally Mexico's staple grain, is eaten fresh, on the cob, and as a component of a number of dishes. Most corn, however, is used to make masa, a dough for tamales , tortillas , and many other corn-based foods. Squash and peppers also play important roles in Mexican cuisine. The most important and frequently used spices in Mexican cuisine are chili powder, cumin, oregano, cilantro, epazote, cinnamon, and cocoa. Chipotle, a smoke-dried jalapeño chili, is also common in Mexican cuisine. Many Mexican dishes also contain garlic and onions.
Next to corn, rice is the most common grain in Mexican cuisine. According to food writer Karen Hursh Graber, the initial introduction of rice to Spain from North Africa in the 4th Century led to the Spanish introduction of rice into Mexico at the port of Veracruz in the 1520s. This, Graber says, created one of the earliest instances of the world's greatest fusion cuisines. For More info click here MEXICO.

From MSN:
Vatican no fan of 'deviant' Twilight
"The Vatican has spoken out against the new Twilight movie that is sweeping the globe, slamming it as a deviant moral vacuum. Twilight Saga: New Moon, starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, has had sensational box office takings since opening in France and Spain ahead of its US release on Friday.
Monsignor Franco Perazzolo, of the Pontifical Council of Culture, said: "Men and women are transformed with horrible masks and it is once again that age-old trick or ideal formula of using extremes to make an impact at the box office."
Vampires are not traditionally the creatures of God, and their popularity among the young disturbs the Catholic Church. Perazzolo continued: "This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such should be of concern."
For the rest of this article, click here.
I would like to post the original review by Msgr. Perazzolo when I can get it.

Each month, as you crack the spine of a fresh Parks & Recreation Magazine, we hope the experience is both exciting and familiar. Exciting in that you're delving into a cache of brand-new stories and updates from around our industry, and familiar in the way those items are presented, section by section.
This month, you may notice one of the first sections in our magazine has been rebranded — Front Page, which gives a first glimpse of notable park and recreation news, will now be known as Community Center.
Over the years, we've seen a few evolutions of the title of this section of the magazine, but we felt Community Center hit the sweet spot of both welcoming you to the issue and speaking to the nature of the section's content. Within Community Center, we'll continue to highlight the parks, people and programs that demand attention, whether it's April's examination of an NFL Play 60 Kidzone Park in North Carolina, May's hat tip to an innovative Zombie Survival Camp in Iowa, or any of the smaller items contained in our Briefly Noted section.
Parks & Recreation Magazine's new Community Center section this month
Of course, we welcome your feedback about this new change and anything else that catches your eye in Parks & Recreation Magazine. Comment on any of our articles or email Associate Editor Samantha Bartram with letters or questions. As always, we thank you for your loyal readership and look forward to "seeing you" at the Community Center!
Samantha Bartram is the Associate Editor of Parks & Recreation Magazine.

The idea for immunofluorescence originated with Albert H. Coons and his collaborators, who were the first to conjugate a fluorescent dye to an antibody and use it identify a tissue antigen with fluorescence microscopy. The dye used in the original conjugation reaction was fluorescein isocyanate, but this species has now largely been replaced with the isothiocyanate derivative (fluorescein isothiocyanate, FITC), which forms a more stable conjugate. In most cases, when fluorescein is conjugated to an antibody or antibody fragment, the molecule fluoresces with a bright apple-green color after absorbing blue light in the region of 490 nanometers. A wide spectrum of alternative chromophores with fluorescent colors covering the entire visible and near-infrared spectrum are now commercially available as antibody conjugates, including the Alexa Fluor dyes, cyanine dyes (Cy2, Cy3, Cy5, etc.), and many rhodamine derivatives.
An adherent culture of closely packed pig kidney epithelial cells, illustrated in the digital image presented above, was immunofluorescently stained with mouse anti-alpha-tubulin primary antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to the cyanine dye, Cy3. The filamentous actin network was revealed by including Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin with the secondary antibody solution, and the nuclei were subsequently counterstained with DAPI. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

NBC Universal Presents Bravo Reality Series "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist"
Series host China Chow (L) and series mentor Simon de Pury (R) participate in a presentation for Bravo series "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" during the NBC Universal sessions at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena, California. REUTERS/Phil McCarten.
's latest stroke on the reality canvas brings Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Sarah Jessica Parker and her production company, Pretty Matches, together with the Emmy-nominated Magical Elves ("Top Chef," "Project Runway") and Eli Holzman, to produce "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, an hour-long creative competition series among contemporary artists. "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist will bring together 14 aspiring artists to compete for a solo show at a nationally recognized museum and a generous cash prize.
Hosting this colorful new series is art enthusiast China Chow, alongside world-renowned art auctioneer, Simon de Pury. Joining them on the judging panel are experts Bill Powers, a New York Gallery owner and literary art contributor, Jerry Saltz, current art critic for New York Magazine, and Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, esteemed curator and owner of Salon94 gallery.
In each episode, contestants are faced with the challenge of creating unique pieces in a variety of media such as painting, sculpture, photography, collage and industrial design. The weekly assignments are exciting, original and will challenge the artists to push the limits of their technical skills and creative boundaries. Completed works of art will be appraised by the panel of top art world figures alongside a new celebrated guest judge every week. Through a gallery showing at the end of each challenge, the industry luminaries dictate which artists have successfully mastered the subject matter and creation of their piece, as well as whose concept leaves the greatest impact.
"Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" is produced by Pretty Matches and Magical Elves for Bravo. Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Alison Benson and Eli Holzman serve as executive producers.
China Chow
Host/Judge, "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist"
China Chow was first introduced to the art world by her parents, restauranteur and art connoisseur Michael Chow and style icon Tina Chow. Born in London, Chow moved to New York at age five. As Mr. Chow became a mecca to the art world that ruled Manhattan in the eighties, China was fortunate enough to grow up around some of the most prominent artists of the time, including Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Julian Schnabel and Francesco Clemente.
Chow has fond memories of learning to draw elephants with their family friend, renowned artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Having spent most of her Saturdays at museums with her parents, it was inevitable that she would become an avid art enthusiast. Art is one of the most authentic ways for a person to express themselves, Chow believes. Clothing has to be functional, food has to taste good but art is the purest form of expression, existing without set boundaries.
As the host of Bravos new creative competition series, Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, Chow will serve as the perfect tour guide through the often foreign-seeming art world. Her irrepressible passion for art and tremendous appreciation for beauty is contagious as she works to access the talents of aspiring artist throughout the course of the series.
Chows acting debut was alongside Mark Walhberg in the action-comedy The Big Hit. She has also starred in the film Head Over Heels, as well as on hit television series including Burn Notice and That 70s Show.
After earning a psychology degree from Scripps College, Chow spent several years successfully working as a model for Shiseido cosmetics, Tommy Hilfiger, the GAP, and Lane Crawford . As one of Harpers Bazaar and Vogues Best Dressed Women in the World, she is routinely found splashed across the pages of fashion magazines.
Chow currently resides in Los Angeles.
Bill Powers
Judge, "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist"
Bill Powers, a self-proclaimed "art fan, " is the co-owner of Half Gallery in New York and the editor-at-large for Purple Fashion magazine.
Powers' colorful path in contemporary art first manifested itself in 1997 when he became the editor-in chief of Blackbook magazine. Until 2005, Powers remained with Blackbook, while writing about art and culture for other prominent titles including the New York Times, W, Paper, Vanity Fair and Details, to name a few. Through his extensive editorial work, Powers has interviewed some of today's preeminent contemporary artists from around the world, including Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Kara Walker, Ed Ruscha and John Currin.
Powers' written work extends beyond his contributions to press. His foray into the field of publishing led him to issue art books for the promising German multi-media artist, Jonathan Meese, as well as for American painter Rachel Feinstein. Powers published his own first novel, "Tall Island," in July 2004. The satire following the entangled lives of three downtown New Yorkers was called a "must read" by Harper's Bazaar, and a "clever comedic romp" by the Los Angeles Times.
In addition, Powers is an ardent art collector, with an impressive collection of works by Richard Prince, Elizabeth Peyton, Tom Sachs, Irving Penn and Dana Schutz, among others. The first piece of art that he ever bought was a photograph of ToeJam the Clown by Terry Richardson in 1998.
Powers is currently on the board of the non-profit RxArt, an organization that places contemporary art in hospitals and healing environments.
Powers currently resides in New York with his wife, fashion designer Cynthia Rowley, and their two daughters.
Simon De Pury
Mentor, "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist"
Simon de Pury is one of the art world's leading figures, renowned for his legendary performance on the auction podium and for his deep and longstanding knowledge of the global marketplace.
De Pury is Chairman and Chief Auctioneer of Phillips de Pury & Company, the leading global auction house for Contemporary Art, Design and Photography, and still owns a significant share in the business after selling the majority in October 2008 to the Mercury Group, Russia's largest luxury retail company.
De Pury joined Phillips in 2001 when his art advisory firm the Geneva-based de Pury & Luxembourg Art, which he had started in 1997 with Daniella Luxembourg merged with them.
A spirited and highly successful career at Sotheby's preceded this chapter. de Pury was appointed Chairman of Sotheby's Switzerland in 1986 and later became Chairman of Sotheby's Europe. This function, which he performed with his inimitable zeal and enthusiasm -- coupled with sharp business acumen -- saw him conduct important sales all over the world. These included the Thurn und Taxis sales in Geneva and Regensburg, the Margrave of Baden sales in Baden-Baden, the Palazzo Corsini sales in Florence, part of the Jacqueline Onassis Kennedy sales in New York, and all major Impressionist and Modern Art evening sales in both New York and London since 1994. He was also the initiator and auctioneer for the historical and first international auction to be held in 1988 by Sotheby's in Moscow.
From 1979-86, de Pury was curator of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection and organized numerous exhibitions not only in the Villa Favorita in Lugano, Switzerland, but also in major museums around the world. He was also responsible for the coordination of four key exchanges between Baron H.H. Thyssen-Bornemisza then the most important collector of his time and the State Hermitage, the Pushkin Museum, the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery and the Kremlin Museum in Russia. Prior to this, de Pury had started his career at Sotheby's in 1974 and was active in their London and Monte Carlo offices before opening the Sotheby's office and auction venue in Geneva.
De Pury studied the Japanese painting techniques of "Sumie" and "Nihonga" at the Tokyo Academy of Arts. He was born in Basel, Switzerland, and is the father of four grown-up children. He lives between London and New York.

Ledyard receives briefings on new police station, middle school projects
Ledyard - The Town Council heard presentations on the proposed construction of a new police station and major renovations to Ledyard Middle School last week as it prepares to decide whether to send the two projects to a referendum vote in May.
Architect Brian Humes of Jacunski Humes Architects of Berlin presented near-identical 12,130 square-foot, two-story police station plans for two possible locations - the transfer station on J. Alfred Clark Way and the site of the old Ledyard Fire House next to Town Hall. The Municipal Building Committee had initially considered six locations.
Several council members expressed their enthusiasm for building the police station next to Town Hall in Ledyard Center, though this site - because it is situated among existing infrastructure - could prove more costly.
"I really think it's important to have a visible police presence," said council member Bill Saums. "People know the police are there," he said of the old station on Lorenz Parkway, "but they don't see it."
"People tend to slow down in front of police stations," he added.
Council member Mike France and Mayor John Rodolico said the central location could be a boon for sorely needed economic development in the area.
"We have to look at price, but there are intangibles that go along with each site," Rodolico said.
Humes, who said he has designed more than 60 police stations throughout New England, said the old police station, parts of which have been standing for more than a century, is a "woefully inadequate" space with tight quarters and security issues.
"We never find a good situation when we come into a community," he said.
Rodolico said the current building is also saddled with costly maintenance issues, and the town would need to spend about $256,000 next year to bring it up to "some level of adequacy."
"We just do not want to put the amount of money into it that's required," he said.
Last May, the town council authorized $20,000 for architectural services; in June, the council assigned the project to the Municipal Building Committee, and in July, the committee hired Jacunski Humes.
Superintendent of Schools Mike Graner gave the second presentation on plans for the middle school.
One major objective of the renovation would be to move the district's sixth-graders up to the middle school in order to consolidate the class from the three elementary schools. The plans include building brand-new wing for the sixth-graders - tacking on about another half of the existing school's size - reconfiguring the middle section of the school to add a courtyard and close off the open-cluster classrooms, and renovating the section with the school's entrance to include a kitchen.
The addition of the kitchen - along with the installation of an emergency generator - would make the school eligible to be an emergency shelter. And closing off the open classrooms would eliminate a major security flaw in the school's setup, which leaves the majority of students in the clustered, open classroom space vulnerable in the event of a lockdown.
"The joke at the middle school is if there's an intruder, you just pray you're in a science classroom," Graner told the council. "If you're in the right space, you can be relatively well secured. But God forbid there's an intruder, that intruder would have access to 80 percent of the school very quickly, because there are no walls."
"This plan brings us to a far greater level of security," he said.
Another benefit of the completed renovation would be the ability to close Ledyard Center School. At 63 years old, the elementary school is the district's oldest facility, plagued with expensive plumbing and electrical problems that Graner called a "continuing saga." Five preschool classrooms would be constructed in the new middle school, moving the program from the Gallup Hill School to make room for the influx of Ledyard Center students.
Council member Sharon Wadecki said based on the experience her children had attending Ledyard Middle School - and particularly with the open-cluster classroom setup - she would love to see it renovated.
"Those two years that the boys went there, oh my," she said. "It's very disruptive to our kids."
A cost estimate is expected at tonight's school board facilities committee meeting. In order for the renovation to obtain state funding next spring, voters would have to approve it by the end of June. Graner said he can also petition the state to expedite the process. The new middle school could be open by the fall of 2017.
Graner said the Board of Education will vote on the final proposal Wednesday and then send it to the Town Council for approval on March 13.

In addition, the Rutgers product became the first WNBA player since 1997 to score 30 points in three straight games.
"I have been excited to play for the Chicago Sky since the day I was drafted and couldn't think of a better place to continue my career," Prince said. "I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that Pokey and Michael Alter have given me. Having such a great organization, coaching staff and teammates makes me eager to get this season started. I look forward to playing in front of great fans and bringing this city a championship."
The Sky's fourth overall pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft, Prince has averaged 13.5 points, 2.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 94 career games (54 starts).
Prince will miss seven Sky regular season games between June 4 and June 30 to compete in the EuroBasket Women 2013 Championships in fulfillment of her contract obligation to the Russian national team.

K&B Auto Complex
2690 Crater Lake Hwy
2012 Ford
Focus 4dr Sdn S
2.0-liter inline-4 160 horsepower @
6,500 rpm 146 lb-ft of torque @ 4,450 rpm
EPA City/highway fuel economy: 26/36 mpg (manual), 28/38 mpg
(automatic), 27/37 mpg (SelectShift automatic), 28/40 (SFE trim, automatic) CLICK
The 2012 Ford Focus
gets a clean-sheet recasting that brings a new look, enhanced quality, more
features, and upgraded options in a slightly larger but far more dynamic
package. Based on Ford's global C-platform, this compact front-driver features
an international design pedigree and introduces numerous class-exclusive
technologies, including a host of premium-level creature comforts. Available as
a 4-door sedan and a new 5-door hatchback, the 2012 Focus is also offered as a
pure battery-electric vehicle with a 76-mile range and an impressive 110
miles-per-gallon-equivalent (MPGe) city rating. While the new Chevrolet Cruze
and Honda Civic are its key rivals, formidable challenges will also come from
the Mazda3, Nissan Sentra and Toyota Corolla as well as newly redesigned and
very impressive Hyundai Elantra and its Kia Forte cousin.
You'll Like This Car
Buyers seeking a
compact vehicle with class-leading character and technology – from MyFord Touch
infotainment and Active Park Assist to corner-taming torque-vectoring control
and a PowerShift dual-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission – will find plenty
to admire in the 2012 Ford Focus line.
What's New for 2012
A comprehensive
makeover raises an already popular player in its segment to a position of
prominence and possible dominance thanks to the addition of a new hatchback
body style, greatly-expanded/upgraded feature set and a range-topping Titanium
trim level. And while the 2012 Ford Focus Electric marks the Blue Oval's first
crack at a mainstream electric car, they succeeded in producing a relatively
affordable gas-free vehicle that drives, feels and looks like a conventional
Driving It
Driving Impressions
Built around a
stiffer, stronger unit body structure underpinned by a comprehensively retuned
and Euro-flavored suspension that brings better damping and roll control plus
quick, well-weighted electrically assisted power steering the 2012 Ford Focus
feels comfortable, confident and impressively responsive to driver inputs under
virtually all conditions. Although stepping up in trim level and the
accompanying wheel/tire enhancements does impact ride compliance – particularly
with the 18-inch rims and 40-series tires available on Titanium models – Ford
has done an excellent job of bringing out the best in this component set
regardless of configuration. When the going gets twisty, the new Focus bolsters
its standard AdvanceTrak stability control with a new torque vectoring control
system that acts like a limited-slip differential and helps the car accelerate
out of corners more adroitly. Despite a soft-ish pedal, the well-modulated
anti-lock brakes (disc/drum in S/SE, disc/disc in SLE/Titanium) deliver solid,
drama-free stops.
Favorite Features
Optional on Focus SEL models and standard on Titanium trim levels, Ford's
top-line infotainment/telematics package is based on an even more advanced and
expansive application of the automaker's acclaimed SYNC voice-command system
and includes a premium 10-speaker Sony sound system, with HD Radio, media hub,
in-car Wi-Fi access and more.
Available on autoshifted SE models, the SFE Package includes auto-articulated,
aero-optimizing grille shutters – an unseen mileage-enhancing element also
found on most other Focus models fitted with the PowerShift transmission – as
well as low-rolling resistance tires, wind-cheating wheel covers and a tasteful
rear spoiler that collectively bring the car's projected EPA highway figure up
to 40 mpg.
Vehicle Details
Slightly roomier but
with a far more upscale look and feel than its predecessor, the 2012 Focus
cabin sets off a decidedly premium flavor with loads of soft-touch surfaces and
an abundance of effectively integrated sound-attenuation materials. Legible
instrumentation and well positioned controls in all versions are complemented
by an 8.0-inch full-color touch screen that replaces the normal multifunction
display on SEL/Titanium models fitted with the primo MyFord Touch
infotainment/navigation system. The rear seat is scaled for 2 mid-sized adults
but decently padded for three kids. Folding the standard/optional 60/40 rear
seatbacks to a semi-flat position adds utility to the Sedan's 13.2 cubic feet
conventional trunk and raises capacity of the Hatchback's rear bay from 23.8 to
44.8 cubic feet.
Both the Focus Sedan
and Hatchback display the latest evolution of Ford's "kinetic design"
language that is both more aggressive and more aerodynamic. While their overall
footprints remains similar to the 2011 Sedan, a slightly lower roofline, longer
wheelbase and substantially wider front/rear track dimensions give the 2012
Focus lineup a more planted appearance. Effectively accenting the new look are
stylized headlight/taillight treatments, with the Focus EV sharing most styling
cues with its gasoline-dependent counterpart, apart from the charge port
prominently mounted on the driver's side front fender. Wheel selections range
from 15-inch steel wheels on the Focus S Sedan to 17-inch aluminum rims on
Titanium and Electric variants – and the availability of an 18-inch upgrade
that also brings 235/40 performance tires and a sport-tuned suspension.
Notable Standard
Even the base Focus S
Sedan gets an impressive complement of power assists, air conditioning, a
tilt/telescoping steering column, keyless remote entry, 4-speaker radio,
AdvanceTrac stability control, front disc/rear drum brakes and six airbags. Key
SE-level gains include power rear windows, a trip computer, programmable MyKey,
foglamps and 16-inch wheel/tires while the SEL adds the 6-speed PowerShift
automatic transmission, dual-zone climate control, SYNC, upgraded audio, cruise
control, LED ambient lighting, 60/40 folding rear seatbacks, 4-wheel disc
brakes and 16-inch alloy wheels. The range-topping Titanium also nets
push-button starting, MyFord Touch with 10-speaker Sony HD sound system, Sirius
Satellite Radio (with six months free), sport seats, sport suspension, 17-inch
wheel/tire package and more.
Notable Optional
The new Focus offers a
wide selection of upgrades linked to the model hierarchy. At S level, the
6-speed dual-clutch autoshifter and remote starting dominate an intentionally
modest list, but the SE Sedan offers that plus a power moonroof,
voice-activated navigation, Super Fuel Economy/Interior/Winter/Sport Packages –
all but the SFE also available on SE hatches – a MyFord Driver Connect
technology/SYNC Package, leather upholstery and more. Extras for the SEL and
Titanium versions include leather as well as voice-activated navigation and the
Technology Package (Active Park Assist, front/rear sensors, rearview camera),
plus the premium MyFord Touch telematics/infotainment system – a Titanium
standard. Going Titanium also permits a dedicated sport suspension with 18-inch
wheels with performance tires. To help simplify the ordering process, leather
seating is the sole option on the Focus Electric's menu.
Under the Hood
All 2012 Focus models
are fitted with a new, naturally aspirated 2.0-liter in-line four that features
gasoline direct fuel-injection and Ford's twin-independent variable camshaft
timing (Ti-VCT). This smooth free-revver makes 160 horsepower and 146
pound-feet of torque – 20 more horsepower and 10 additional torque than its
2011 predecessor – and can be paired with a 5-speed manual or a new 6-speed
dual-clutch automatic. On SE with Sport Package/SEL/Titanium models, the
automated-manual cog changer adds SelectShift capability via a rocker switch on
the shift lever. Formal EPA figures are pending, but Ford anticipates about 10
percent better overall fuel economy and autoshifted SE Sedans fitted with the
mileage-maxing SFE Package are projected to net 40 mpg on the highway. Motivating
the Focus Electric is a 143-horsepower permanent magnet motor powered by a 23
kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which returns a remarkable 105 mpg equivalency

A militant Islamist group has claimed for the first time that it was behind the abduction of more than 200 Nigerian students, saying in a video obtained by the AFP news agency that it planned to "sell" the girls.The students, teenaged girls who were in class for a physics exam, were seized April 14 from their school in Chibok, in northern Nigeria. The mass kidnapping - and the Nigerian government's false claims about a rescue and other missteps in the case -- triggered protests in Nigeria and outrage around the world. Social media activists created the hashtags #BringBackOurGirls and #BringBackOurDaughters to raise awareness and pressure the government in Lagos.Boko Haram, an al Qaida-style extremist group behind previous student attacks including the killing of 59 schoolboys, was suspected of carrying out the abduction, though confirmation was elusive until Monday's AFPreport
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau vowed to sell hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped in northern Nigeria three weeks ago, in a new video obtained on Monday by AFP.
"I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah," he said, after reports that some of the 223 girls still missing may have been sold as brides across Nigeria's border with Chad and Cameroon for as little as $12.
Shekau added that the abduction had caused outrage "because we are holding people (as) slaves".

Boko Haram has killed thousands since 2009. The State Department last year designated the group as a foreign terrorist organization and in fiscal year 2012 provided more than $20 million in security assistance to help the Nigerian government's counterterrorism and military efforts.

Tayvallich is a small fishing village on the shores of Loch Sween, on the West coast of Scotland, in Argyll, enjoys spectacular scenery and has a vibrant community. Our climate is governed by the Gulf Stream, and even palm trees flourish.
A vital element of village life is tourism. The village is an ideal centre for your holiday, vacation or weekend break.
Find out about Tayvallich and places of interest nearby including many prehistoric standing stones.
Find out about the Village's award winning Seafood Pub and Restaurant, or plan your visit around one of our Village events.
There are many forestry walks in and around the peninsula, and the Taynish Nature Reserve is only one place of many where you can observe our local wildlife.
Tayvallich comes from the Gaelic Tigh a'Bhealaich which translates as "the house of the pass". A settlement is known to have existed at Tayvallich from at least the 1750s when this would have been a resting place on the track that ran the length of the peninsula to the Jura ferry at Keillmore.
Thomas Telford turned up everywhere in Scotland in the early 1800s, and his passing is still marked by a variety of bridges an other stone structures. He built piers at Keills, Tayvallich & Carsaig Bay, a few hundred yards away on the west side of the peninsula. On the Loch Sween side a fishing settlement grew, focused on its pier, on its inn and on the North Knapdale Parish Church.
The western pier became the focus of what is now Carsaig. Today, Carsaig remains a tiny settlement wrapped around a shingle bay, sandy when the tide is out, with views across to the north end of Jura.
Tayvallich is rather larger, though still only with a population of about 190. Of our housing stock about 65% is residential, 27% second homes & 8% holiday homes. A line of cottages strings around a remarkably sheltered bay: so sheltered, in fact it is almost cut off by spits prejecting into the main loch.
Also in Tayvallich is a small collection of services and a range of accommodation including a lochside caravan park. This is an ideal location for yachting enthusiasts, as is obvious from a glance at what is floating in the bay, or for those who really do want to get away from it all.
And if Tayvallich isn't far enough away from the hustle and bustle of 21st century life, it is worth making the extra effort to cover the remaining seven miles of single track road to Keillmore. This is home to the Chapel of the Keills, but the main reason to come here is simply to experience the isolation. Single track roads in Scotland are still fairly common. Single track roads with strips of grass this luxuriant growing down the centre are rather rarer. Not many people come this way.
The roads from Bellanoch to Tayvallich and then to Keillmore are single track. For more information about Scotland's single track roads and how to drive them, visit our feature page on driving single track roads.
