Today's Interviews:
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
Agency inspectors general are not immune from budget, personnel and technology challenges. But a new survey finds IGs are innovating during these tight budget times. David Zavada is a partner with Kearney & Co. He directed the survey on behalf of the Association of Government Accountants. He speaks with Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller.
Deputy Assistant to the Administrator
Federal agencies are trying to make it easier for the public to track how they spend. The U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department now are posting foreign aid spending data on an online dashboard. They're trying to correct the middling rankings the United States receives when compared to other countries on foreign aid transparency. Tony Pipa is deputy assistant to the administrator for USAID's Bureau of Policy, Planning and Learning.
Managing Partner
Tully Rinckey
Authorities say the Navy Yard shooter, Aaron Alexis, grappled with mental issues. He was paranoid. He told Rhode Island police he heard voices. He sought emergency help for insomnia from a VA health center. And yet he maintained his federal security clearance. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel now says there were a lot of red flags. For help understanding why someone like Alexis could get a security clearance, Tom and Emily talked to former Army Prosecutor Greg Rinckey, now the managing partner of Tully Rinckey.
DoD Reporter
Federal News Radio
This week's mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard bore a tragic resemblance to the 2009 rampage at Fort Hood, Texas. In both incidents, 13 people died when an insider with access to the base fired shots at colleagues. Nonetheless, defense officials say lessons learned from four years ago may have prevented an even worse outcome at the Navy Yard Monday. More from Federal News Radio's DoD reporter, Jared Serbu.
Grant Thornton
Performance Improvement Officers have one of the toughest tasks in government. Trying to get bureaucracies large and small to focus on getting better outcomes. But we have evidence their good intentions may not be making it far enough down the ranks. The Partnership for Public Service teamed with Grant Thornton to study performance and how PIOs are doing. Robert Shea, a principal at Grant Thornton, has more.

"To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power," Maya Angelou wrote in her 1969 memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Now, six memoirs later, Angelou takes us straight into the eye of the storm.
Mom & Me & Mom chronicles Angelou's relationship with her mother, Vivian Baxter, a woman who knocked down doors, literal and figurative, whether breaking into an apartment to rescue a beaten Angelou from an abusive boyfriend or becoming a seaman late in life to force the union to let in women of color.
Angelou was raised by her mother and father until she was 3, when, during a period of personal upheaval, they sent her and her older brother, Bailey, to live with their paternal grandparents in Stamps, Ark. The siblings stayed in Stamps until their grandparents realized they weren't equipped to raise teenagers, and sent Angelou, then 13, and Bailey to live with their mother in California.
The transition was difficult. Angelou and her mother often locked horns — one night, Angelou came home at 1 a.m. after eating tacos and tamales in San Francisco's Mission District with friends, and Baxter bloodied her face with a fistful of keys. But they eventually came to appreciate each other's strength, leading to a fierce bond of mutual support and love.
Angelou found herself pregnant at 17, after having sex with a neighbor to prove to herself she wasn't a lesbian; when she broke the news to her mother three weeks before giving birth, Baxter said, "We — you and I — and this family are going to have a wonderful baby. That's all there is to that."
When Angelou later decided to striptease at the Bonne Nuit Dance Club, Baxter helped her sew sequins, beads and feathers onto her bras and G-strings. On her mother's deathbed, Angelou told her, "You were a terrible mother of small children, but there has never been anyone greater than you as a mother of a young adult."
Whenever Baxter had something serious to discuss, she would tell her daughter, "Sit down, I have something to say." This book has a similar feel, as if Angelou is sitting the reader down at her kitchen table and sharing family stories. The book lacks some of the vivid and poetic detail of her earlier memoirs and feels somewhat hastily written. But it carries the power of oral storytelling — especially if you can conjure up Angelou's deep, resonant voice as you read — and contains some stunning tales, such as when Angelou, who had never driven before, had to maneuver her drunken father's car across the Mexican border.
Angelou leaves some surprising holes in the narrative — in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, she writes about living with her mother in St. Louis for several devastating months when she was 7, but in Mom & Me & Mom, it sounds as if Angelou didn't see her mother once between the ages of 3 and 13.
Perhaps Angelou is counting on the reader to have read her previous memoirs to fill in the blanks; a reader new to Angelou's work may find aspects of the book — such as the glossed-over evolution of her writing life — a bit unsatisfying. Die-hard fans, however, will be thrilled by this new offering from Angelou, ever her mother's daughter, a force of nature unto herself.
Gayle Brandeis reviewed this book for The San Francisco Chronicle.

The new Bentley Continental Supersports is priced at $272,000. But for the price you will only get the front seats. Now, if you plan to bring someone else with you, you might need an extra two seats in the rear. And you can get them for an extra $5000.
The only problem is that the Comfort Seat option will drop the Supersports-specific carbon-fiber–backed seats in favor of regular Continental chairs with power adjustment, heat, and massage.
The Continental Supersports is powered by a turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine that delivers a total of 621HP. With this amount of power the Supersports makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds, the 0 -100 mph in 8.9 seconds and can hit a top speed of 204 mph.

Engagement and Impact
Organising a Conference
1/2 day
There are likely to be various opportunities for you to organise academic events during your research career. These may be subject specific seminars within your School, or regional conferences for subject organisations. Alternatively, you may want to get together with researchers from other Schools to organise a cross-disciplinary event under a particular theme. Whatever the type of event, getting involved will help you to develop useful transferable skills (project and time management, committee experience, etc.) that can be used in a wide variety of career paths.
This workshop will explain the practicalities of event organisation including:
- setting up a steering committee;
- applying for funding/budgeting;
- determining the academic content of an event;
- identifying suitable venues (internal or external);
- catering, publicity and tips for general administration.

Definición de pole lathe en inglés:
pole latheSaltos de línea: pole lathe
An ancient form of lathe operated by a treadle, in which the work is turned by a cord passing round it and rotated back by the action of a springy pole or sapling attached to the top end.
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- A beetle and froe were used for cleaving the sawn pieces, then a hatchet and drawshave were needed to roughly shape the lengths of wood; finally a pole lathe and various turning chisels finished off the work.
- Some finds of worked wood from York have suggested that the pole lathe was the most likely way that they made turned items such as cups.
- When we were finished in the rotunda, we went outside to a tent under which two treadle lathes were set up-a pole lathe and a bow lathe-both reproductions made by fellow member Mike Podmaniczky from those in the Dominy shop.

By now, your baby is approximately 15-16 inches long to (35 cm) and weighs about 2 pounds 4 ounces (1,100g) - just a tad over 1 kilo! You can see changes in your baby from head to toe. At this time, the baby's brain is developing more fully. Hair on your baby's head is growing more and more and your baby is truly looking like a baby now!
If you're carrying a boy, his testicles are on the move, making their way down from the kidneys via the groin en route to the scrotum. In a girl, you can make out the clitoris, but the labia aren't yet big enough to cover it.
Welcome to the third trimester, which goes from week 28 to 40 -- or until you give birth. By now, you may be feeling a mixture of excitement and apprehension as you approach the end of your pregnancy. Some women sail through the whole nine months symptom-free, while others watch their bodies grow and change in ways they never thought possible. On the other hand, some women may have some discomforts that may creep up during this trimester. Some of those discomforts may include:
To top it off, you may have a 10-mile long to-do list that includes finding a pediatrician, buying baby gear, preparing a birth plan, registering at the hospital and packing your bag, among others. No matter how you feel, however, remember this is a special time for you and your partner. So try to enjoy as you begin the final countdown and wait for the day when you and your baby finally meet face-to-face!
Around the 35-week mark, your health care provider will test you for Group B streptococcus, which is a type of bacteria in the vagina that may be carried by pregnant women. To learn more about Group B streptococcus and how you can treat it, click here.
Depending on how much weight you're carrying and how flexible you are, you might be feeling like you just can't lean down anymore. Some moms we know recommend wearing strapless shoes - for example, mules, clogs or thongs - so you can slip your feet in and out without having to bend over your belly all the time. Whatever shoes you wear, make sure that they have good support.

Subject: Marcie Macari in Toronto is our hero!
GSG Apprentice Coaches to the rescue!
We built this cool little feature on the GSG site recently. It's a place for people who love radically effective ESSENTIAL OILS, like I do, to tell their stories about ways they used natural plant substances to solve problems. Check it out.
I'm pretty proud of it, and am enjoying hearing from people about how it gave them great ideas about how to get away from chemical solutions and find better ones that DO NO HARM.
My coaches are helping people solve problems that most of the Western world has been looking to harmful chemical drugs to "solve." (All drugs have side effects. None are recognized by the body as anything but a foreign invader. Most or all build up residual effects in organs and tissues that can cause problems later.)
Natural plant substances from all over the planet are gathered together in essential oils. Essential oils are 50 times more potent than dried herbs.
They have changed my family's life. I have a short video tell about Essential Oils.
I love telling people about them. Whipping them out to help someone on the plane next to me, someone at a ball game, friends of my children who are hanging out at my house—-everyone I meet. A day does not go by that I don't use my essential oils. I broke my pinkie toe a few weeks ago, and AromaTouch, and lemongrass, and Deep Blue saved me, controlling swelling and bruising.
MARCIE MACARI in Toronto posted 75 awesome stories in June, when I told our coaches and apprentice coaches about this new tool! Check out her stories, and others, HERE. I got SO EXCITED reading and approving 600 stories, in June, learning so many new things to do with my essential oils kit. Canadians should get one from Marcie at firstname.lastname@example.com. Consult her about what you want, and she'll hook you up at wholesale cost, and earn free product points. Come tell us your own stories after you've used your kit for a while.
It's a chemistry set no home should be without.
Essential oils flavor food and stimulate the senses. They soothe skin problems. They affect our emotions (calming, energizing, and more) through our limbic system in the brain that is stimulated only by aromas. They do a thousand things. The reason we teach classes in it, is that it's a missing piece of the puzzle. That is, NUTRITION / DIET IS KING!……but we also need to empower people with PLANTS AS MEDICINE. Like people did, meticulously with the knowledge they had, for thousands of years before Big Pharma came along and slowly enslaved us all.
Back to Marcie. She's become quite the essential oils guru! Anyone in Canada wanting to learn from her, or get wholesale pricing on essential oils and accumulate points toward free products, write her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
She's mom to four children ages 17 to 2, and author of the book She Births: A Modern Woman's Guidebook for an Ancient Rite of Passage. She was diagnosed 12 years ago with a devastating balance (vertigo) problem called labrynthitis. She was told it would last a few weeks, but it lasted years.
She couldn't hold her baby unsupervised or get to the bathroom unassisted! A young mother, she was terrified and stressed and developed an anxiety disorder in reaction to this, which of course her doctor drugged and sent her out the door. Vertigo disorders mystify the medical profession, which has no answers and no idea what causes or solves them.
The side effects of the drugs were terrible, and Marcie couldn't hold down a job, enjoy her life, or fully function as the gifted and vibrant woman she is.
Marcie told me she was sometimes suicidal. Specialists told her she was the "healthiest sick person" they'd ever seen. They patted her knee and told her she was "doing too much" or that it was all in her head. In Marcie's words, "It's one thing to feel off balance. It's another thing altogether to feel like you're in a centrifuge, with the room spinning so hard that you can't even sit up!"
Marcie went through a research and experimentation journey, learning about nutrition and a low-toxicity environment for her cells to heal. She explored her lifestyle choices and her biological endowments coming from a family where most members struggle with chemical addictions, mental illness, and/or major physical problems.
Marcie still occasionally deals with her vertigo issues that are much, much better. But she also has graduated as a orthomolecular health practitioner and holistic nutritionist. She's a health coach and editor of The Natural Health Gazette. www.naturalhealthgazette.com.
Marcie's web site is leapingwillow.com, and you can reach her at email@example.com. Also, here's a fun 2.5 minute video on what Marcie offers in her practice in Toronto, with an emphasis on healing with essential oils. It's a fun cartoon vid, and it contains Marcie's phone number. Canadians can learn from Marcie how to empower yourself with great solutions at your fingertips.
I asked Marcie what her favorite oils are, and why. This is what she said:
1) Frankincense: I use this for my balance disorder and it helps immensely. I dab it on the back of my neck or drop a drop or two under my tongue, and it's wonderful for helping oxygenate everything, and stop any "spins" from happening!
2) Lavender: I have a high-needs baby, and she was still nursing every 90 mins. all night at the age of 18 months. To say I was exhausted would be an understatement. I had used Lavender from one company since she was very small, and it didn't help much. However, after becoming acquainted with a new brand of essential oils, I gave Lavender a try and the first night, after rubbing it on the bottoms of her feet, she slept for 4 hours straight! It may not sound like much, but when you're sleep deprived, this is a HUGE blessing! Her sleep has continually improved, and I use Lavendar anytime she is having a difficult time settling down.
3) Citrus: Even though my vertigo is much, much better than it used to be, the resulting anxiety is still sometimes a challenge. I have found that diffusing Citrus, and dabbing it on like perfume is an excellent way to help center and focus fearful or overwhelming thoughts. It is by far my favorite smelling essential oil.

Middletown — A 22-year-old Deep River man who police say admitted using a fire poker and pocket knife to kill his mother on Thursday was ordered held in lieu of a $1 million bond Friday at his arraignment in court.
Robert O. Rankin, of 131 Rattling Valley Road, is charged with murder for allegedly killing his mother "because she is pretty much responsible for everything that has gone wrong in my life," according to a probable cause report submitted to the court. Police identified the mother as 45-year-old Margaret Rohner.
Rankin, at the time of his arrest Thursday afternoon, not only admitted to the killing but described how he had woken up Thursday morning "and developed a plan to snap his mother's neck," acording to the report.
After trying to choke her, police said Rankin grabbed a fire poker and stabbed her in the neck. During a violent struggle, he stabbed her with a knife in the stomach. Rankin told police he left her lifeless body on the floor, cleaned up and took his dog for a walk.
"I just want you to know she put up a damn good fight," Rankin told police, according to the police report.
The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has ruled the death a homicide caused by multiple stab wounds.
Police were called to the home Thursday after Rankin's father, Robert Rankin Jr., called police to tell them he thought his son was responsible for his ex-wife's death. Both men were waiting outside the Rattling Valley Road home when police arrived. Robert O. Rankin was handcuffed and taken into custody without a struggle.
Inside the home, state police detectives described a gruesome crime scene.
Rankin was ordered held under a suicide watch and is expected to return to Middletown Superior Court on Feb. 4.

IONIA, MI (WTVB) - WOOD TV-8 in Grand Rapids is reporting that court documents have revealed that Michael Elliot's escape from the Ionia Correctional Facility Sunday was caught on video tape, but it's not clear if anyone was actually watching the live security monitors. It came in testimony from a State Trooper who was seeking warrants for the alleged car-jacking and abduction of a woman after Elliot left the prison.
The trooper testified that Elliot began his escape at 6 p.m. and did not actually slip under the second fence to freedom until 53 minutes later. They were able to set the precise timeline because it was on video.
It all took place at the same time that Denver was falling behind Seattle in the first half of the Super Bowl.

The heat of autumn
is different from the heat of summer.
One ripens apples, the other turns them to cider.
One is a dock you walk out on,
the other the spine of a thin swimming horse
and the river each day a full measure colder.
With the help of Flora Coker, the Poetry Foundation created an animated reading of Jane Hirshfield's "The Heat of Autumn."

As of Friday, October 5, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
SYLVESTER, Ga: One person has died and another been taken to Augusta for treatment of fire-related injuries after a home in Worth County caught fire this morning, officials say.
Worth County Coroner John Johnson says that first reports of the fire on Fortune Street came in around 6 a.m.
"They called me about 6:30 and put me on standby because they said there might be a handicapped person that was trapped inside in the house," Johnson said. "That appears to be what happened and that person is now deceased."
Glenn Allen from the Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner's Office said that 48 year-old Gregory Fulghum died in the Friday morning fire. A woman living in the home with Fulghum, 64-year-old Betty Booth, sustained burns and smoke inhalation and was flown to Doctor's Hospital in Augusta for treatment.
Allen said that preliminary indications are that the fire appeared to be electrical in nature.

Drive-by shooting
A drive-by shooting (or drive-by) is a form of hit-and-run tactic, a personal attack carried out by an individual or individuals from a moving vehicle, often without use of headlights to avoid being noticed. It often results in bystanders being shot instead of, or as well as, the intended target. The objective is to overwhelm the target by a sudden, massive amount of firepower without attention to accuracy. Two of the most famous drive-by shootings were the murders of rappers Tupac Shakur on September 7, 1996 (although Tupac died six days later on September 13, 1996), and The Notorious B.I.G. on March 9, 1997.
The tactic of drive-by shooting originated when assailants would ride up to their targets on horseback, shoot them with wheellock pistols and then ride off before they could be apprehended. Some of the first gun control laws were developed to combat these shootings.[1]
Military use[edit]
The British military (especially the Special Air Service) used this form of drive-by shooting in its campaigns in North Africa and France during the Second World War. Columns of heavily armed jeeps, bristling with machine guns, would drive past and sometimes through enemy positions, usually airfields and supply depots, shooting at military targets.[2]
In the first decade of the 21st century, drive-by shootings were used by militants in Iraq, including the assassinations of Waldemar Milewicz[3] and Hatem Kamil.[4]
The Islamic State always uses drive-by shootings to eliminate and to cut off retreating Iraqi Army soldiers and to assassinate several non-allied rebel group leaders and their members.
Drive-by-shootings are common in the Philippines by Islamic separtist groups in Mindanao.[5]
Gangland murders[edit]
In the United States, drive-by shootings have been used in organized crime since the Prohibition era of the 1920s. Originally used mostly to disrupt distribution of alcohol by rivals, they are now used to commit revenge killings. Drive-bys can be an efficient means of taking out rivals, as they allow the perpetrators to not only flee from the police but also escape rival territory quickly. Probably the most famous gangland drive-by-shooting happened when members of the North Side Gang attempted to shoot Al Capone at a coffee shop in September 1926, less than a month before the assassination of North Side leader Earl "Hymie" Weiss. In recent decades, drive-by shootings have become common homicide tactics associated with violent California street gangs all over the state. A 2006 study concluded that a full half of all reported drive-by shootings in the United States for that year occurred in California. [6]
Political assassinations[edit]
Drive-by assassinations of political leaders have been common in some regions and eras. It was one of the tactics used by groups such as the Red Army Faction, the Red Brigades and November 17. The 2000 assassination of Brigadier Stephen Saunders was carried out by assassins on motorcycle who approached the vehicle while it was stopped at a traffic light and shot him dead before speeding off.
For a time in the 1970s, the German special operations unit GSG 9 trained some of its operators in the "art" of the drive-by shooting so as to be able to better protect those in its charge.
Drive-by shootings, particularly from motorcycles, are a favourite method of Boko Haram. [7]
In the Israeli—Palestinian conflict[edit]
Palestinian militants have conducted drive-by shootings, examples include the Killing of Rabbi Meir Hai, the August 2010 West Bank shooting, the September 2010 West Bank shooting and other incidents during 2010.
Palestinians have claimed that the Israeli military have killed Palestinian activists in drive-by shootings.[8]

An update on in the investigation into two fires last week.
Authorities now say that an electrical appliance was the cause of a fire in the 1500 block of Spruce Street.
That fire damaged a house next door.
A man that lived in the house escaped unharmed.
Another fire that started a short time later on North 15th is now being considered arson.
Authorities say that the fire could have been accidental.
Since the house was vacant is could have been a homeless person trying to stay warm or it could have been intentionally set.
Meanwhile, fire investigators say that they are also investigating a fire that damaged a bathroom in Demming Park Thursday morning.

Monitor your surroundings with these sensors
It wasn't long ago that sensors and personal tracking seemed like pure nerdery. In the early stages of graduate school — before smartphones were popular or even widely available — I played around with sensors that had finicky battery life and Internet connectivity, the software was buggy, and the hardware looked clunky.
New tracking devices pop up regularly these days. They're built and designed for a wider audience, and sometimes to my surprise, the devices are embraced by the target audience. It started with personal trackers that are fitness and health-related, but people are branching out now to monitoring their surroundings.
Two showed up on my radar this past week: CubeSensors and Thermodo.
CubeSensors (shown above) are available this summer and promise to "continuously measure temperature, humidity, noise, light, air quality and barometric pressure for every room." They're pretty, network-connected cubes that are almost as much decoration as they are tool.
Thermodo is a project currently on Kickstarter (that is well above its goal and still has 21 days to go), and it's a small thermometer that plugs into the headphone jack of your iPhone. It comes with an app, is slick, and pretty cheap at only 25 dollars.
So the technology and audience are there, and the former will keep getting better, but I wonder about the latter. Is it just a fad, or will people grow more data hungry and want to track more things and buy fancier devices?
I think the key is finding usefulness in the long-term. In the short-term, it's fun to measure the temperature to see if your furnace and thermostat work or to measure noise pollution and light levels in an office. But once the novelty of the devices has worn off, you just want to feel comfortable. You put on a sweater if you're cold and take it off if you're hot, and it doesn't matter what the actual temperature is. If it's too loud, you close the window or put on headphones, and it doesn't matter how many decibels are measured.
The data comes easy now. Essentially, the challenge is making use of the new feed of data past current status.
4 Comments
My long-term sensor value bets are on health and time and dollars saved. Obviously, overlap exists among the three, but distinct value propositions also occur. For example, early-warning body sensors will save health-care dollars, but a brain spared a stroke is beyond financial calculation.
Many human activities/technologies still lack sensor monitoring. Electrical appliance monitoring in the home is not wide-spread. Household water conservation through soil monitors. Real-time insulin monitors. The potential list is long for value instead of trivia. Examine expensive or time-sensitive problems, and look for ways to leverage sensors.
Heck, I still don't have a personal dashboard app of my activities across all computing devices; PC, tablet, phone, etc. I don't want to intervene, just monitor and give me stats when I want them. And no, Google, you can't leverage it for ad dollars.
In the same vein, there's also the Air Quality Egg, which is neat: http://airqualityegg.com/ I saw it demoed at green event in NYC last year.
For the layperson, this is interesting data to have around to monitor your own surroundings. As a meteorologist, this has the potential to be very exciting. More observation data can lead to more accurate forecasts, but only if the underlying data is accurate. It will be interesting to see if/how weather authorities treat these devices in the future.
As a personal use fad I think these devices will fade. As the article suggests we have outstanding human senses fully integrated. However, these new devices would be priceless if we wanted fully integrated senses for our personal computers to make decisions. Without data to make those decisions they can only make bad guesses.

Would love to see BBC America HD. It's available on most other large providers.
Joe, Top Gear fan here!!!!!
When you say its in the queue, are we saying a month or two or more than that? Just curious and thanks for the feedback that this is coming.
Top Gear
We don't get to do dates here unfortunately. The press release folks give the dates... Top Gear looks sweet. Setting it to record on my DVR.
I hear Top Gear America is coming down the pike soon. I don't see how it can compare. Half the reason I enjoy Top Gear as much as I do is the British Humor. Hopefully the America version will be just as much fun!!!!
you would think they could add offer BBC hd.considering some of the other hd channels. that i'm sure no one watch
I also would like to see BBC America in HD
Seriously, do we really need to see food of any kind in HD? Make some room and add BBC America HD already!
(No offense to those people that really love seeing food of any kind in HD...)
I find myself watching BBCA more and more. We need it in HD! Top Gear, Dr. Who, Star Trek TNG, Graham Norton...
I'd love to watch the Dr. Who xmas special in HD.
BTW, the American Top Gear has been disappointing, but that was expected.
I have been asking for BBC America HD for over a year. Seems as though this Q ain't going anywhere. I too watch many shows and can't wait to see them in HD.

Comments, questions, opinions...this is your chance to speak out regarding anything and everything reported on U.S. Farm Report. Viewer feedback updated regularly.
My wife and I farm in Vermont and are great fans of your show. Two weeks ago while watching your announcement of Lindsay untimely death it hit us as if she was part of our family. Although she was new to your family we felt as though she had been there forever. This week while watching, my wife said she still could not get over how her passing had affected her then John gave his remembrance and the tears came back. I felt compelled in some way to do something to ease the hurt and did not know what until John brought up the memorial fund. What a wonderful tribute to her. So this morning I am sending in a donation and I already feel better in a small way. Our condolences to her family. Carl & Lucy DeBisschop - Weybridge, Vermont

Its really just a matter of using a metal cutting wheel on an angle grinder, cut all the stuck bolts out, replace with new parts, torque to spec. Not fun but it wasn't hard either if you are used to working on cars. If you do order lower rear control arms, Tousley Ford has great prices and service.
I would start with:
-New lower rear control arms, inside camber bolts and outside bolts
-inspect rear-front lower control arm bushings
-inspect upper rear control arm bushings
-inspect sway bar bushings
-inspect wheel bearings
-replace front and rear sway bar end links
-replace shocks, struts, and strut mounts

Went to the a trusted tire shop ( according to a friend who's been using this guy / shop for 20+ years).
I didn't get a print out, so let my try to remember what he showed me on the alignment computer screen....
The front axle was pretty well within specs, with only very minor adjustments needed.
The rear axle was a little messed up. I don't remember which was which, but one measurement, I think toe, was .015, or .15. well under 1 anyway, not zero, but close. He said a toe of zero and the car would handle like crap. I think the camber was 1.3 on the passenger side, and 2.3 on the drivers side. 2.3 is Ford's limit on normal within spec. So a shim to bring that one wheel in to at least what the passenger wheel is.
The technician said he recommended a shim for the drivers rear, and then a full alignment, but he'll have to order the part, and we scheduled another appointment for later this week.
The bushings, he said looked fine. He also said he hadn't heard of Focus' wearing out tires real fast, and i mentioned the 2005 and up class action suit. But he has seen Focus SVT's wear out tires, because those have a different camber setting, for handling. Oddly, the SVT's that aren't driven hard seem to wear out faster, that SVT's that _are_ driven hard...
I figure I'll get the alignment, and then keep an eye on them, and rotate often.

I had a problem similar to this about a year ago. I was headed to a concert in the pouring rain on the highway and I started to fishtail. I knew before then that I needed new tires since my rears were almost bald. My front tires were brand new. Apparently the people that put them on for me didn't know what they were doing because they put the good tires on the front and at the time, I didn't know any better either. If I went over 55mph in that rain I would fishtail. So I had to drive about 50mph on a 70mph highway while trying to make it to a concert on time.
Focus Fanatic
Nope. If the same bald tires were on the front I guarantee you wouldn't have been able to go 35 mph in same circumstance. The jerking there is much more violent and more likely to lead you into accident.
You need at least some semblance of good tire on front OR back, not having it (running bald) is a driver competence issue. But only the unlearned put the new tires on the back on FWD, if I need back ones, the new go on front and old go to back. That is after experimenting with both end priorities many years ago. The same evidence is supported on 2 Tempos, a Topaz, a Contour and 2 Focus, they ALL like the 2 new tires FAR better on front. If you are sliding out the rear you are going too fast or need FOUR new tires, not just two new on back, handicapping the front on FWD car is a serious mistake showing you know nothing about cars.
Focus Fanatic
also set the front out to to the minimum allowed ( i like 1/16" to 1/8" out)
also "On spec" can still mean a crap alignment. you need to have him align to our custom specs.
Dont waste your money on a generic " on spec" alignment, where you'll need to replace tires again. if he wont do a custom alignment, find another shop.
good luck.

You realize of course if you set rear at dead zero static then it will be slightly toe out when car moving from rubber bushing and other part deflection right? A slight toe out like that could easily make the car do what OP complained of. I'd be looking for ever so slight toe in that would neutral out to zero while moving. Even a bit of toe in there acceptable, it makes the rear stay better on a set line.
Focus Addict
Anyway, here's my fishtail story: as some of you might recall, I had my rear suspension rebuilt a few months ago. Couldn't get an alignment until a few days later, during which time I had the pleasure of driving with rear toe way over a degree on newish Eagle GT's. After a light rain a few blocks from home, I took an EASY corner on good pavement at about 25mph...and wiped out. Did a 180 on a busy 4-lane road and only by the grace of God did not get clobbered (although, I did manage to stop traffic and everyone stared at me). I've done my share of deliberate 180's in FWD & RWD cars (dry, rain, snow, ice), but this one just felt wrong - a complete and total lack of control. It was probably the only 180 I've ever done where I yelled "WTF?!".
"I'm jealous of girls because they get to wear dresses." (Todd Flanders)
Berndt - I'll have to see where the specs. are hiding over in the wheels tires & brakes section - Geezer is the member who listed the best reference numbers, and you can find a good write-up on "toe" by him in the general stickies there (including some specs.)
Alignment threads were more current & easier to find when I did mine, but years pass fast!
There's a simple backyard method to check toe - you just need fishing line, a mechanic's ruler, and a couple jack stands or equivalent to tie the line to.
(Mechanic's Ruler is inexpensive, it's just flat metal 6" rule with a slide marker/pocket clip)
Set the fishing line on it's holders next to the center of the wheels vertically, and close to equidistant from the wheels horizontally.
Adjust the distance of the line from the wheel centers so it's 5/32 further out in the rear (I used a 2 5/32" setting on the rule for the rear, and set the front at 2'' so it was easy to see) The reason for this is that the rear wheelbase is SLIGHTLY narrower than the front, and you want the line parallel to the car.
Then measure & record the distance to the front & rear of each wheel to the line. (just measuring the front distance is adequate, both will give you the "big picture" the first time)
Repeat the process on the other side of the car.
THEN you get to compare numbers, and it should be apparent just where the wheels are pointing!
I was never "lucky" enough to stop with the front wheels exactly straight for example, but with one side toed in 1/32", and the other OUT 1/32" - I could be pretty sure they were approx. at 0 in/out if they HAD been straight.
In the rear I found MY issue, the left was 2/32" in while the right was 4/32" in - a bit excessive "in" at that right rear corner.
Fighting with frozen adjuster for a couple weeks (letting the penetrant work for a bit helped) I eventually got the right rear to move to 1/32" IN, and called it a day.
Car tracked right, steering straightened up, and the "feathering" I'd noticed starting on the rear tires didn't reappear (tires got rotated, new rears wore normally)
NOT a perfect job, but certainly adequate as it's held OK for 3 years now.
Just got back to town this aft. & saw your question, so I thought I'd elaborate a bit!

OTA Stocks to Watch in 2013
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Online Travel companies have had a good run last year with Expedia's (NASDAQ: EXPE) stock doubling and Priceline (NASDAQ: PCLN) giving 30% plus return. The future looks bright for these companies as there are many opportunities from the international markets for the online travel business. Europe and the emerging markets, such as the Asia-Pacific and Latin America, are still under penetrated. Additionally, the transition of bookings from offline to online offers substantial room for growth. I believe both Expedia and Priceline are likely to see continued momentum in 2013. However, I am slightly more bullish on Priceline given its international exposure (international bookings for Priceline accounts for 80% of total bookings). Here's a look at some of its important growth drivers.
Priceline Growth Drivers
Priceline has several factors working in its favor both from the OTA industry and company specific perspective. The acquisition of Booking.com has been most profitable for the company placing it in a dominant position in the European market. It has helped the company to evolve from once being a mere North American air-centric business into an International hotel-centric business.
Highlighting the Kayak deal, it also brings several growth avenues for Priceline. The growing traffic share of Kayak in the United States, profitability and value to consumers will account for Priceline's extension in the near term.
Priceline vs Expedia
Coming onto the competitive landscape, Expedia's brands are leading in the US market in the category of most used and best liked hotels. Expedia is getting more aggressive with customer acquisition with its mobile app. The increasing trend of smartphones has forced every online site to be compatible with the mobile platforms. Looking at this Expedia has launched apps for iPhone and Android users. Through the Expedia App, it allows users to choose from a wide variety of flights and hotel options. The app is now expanded for Windows 8 users also where they can access to 140,000 hotels and mobile deals up to 60% off. But, Priceline's hotel inventory has significantly grown from 20K in 2005 to 245k as of Q3 2012 and is further expected to reach 255K by the year end while Expedia's Venere.com has only 52K hotels in 2011. Booking.com signs up hotels into its platform under the agency model that is more preferred by the hotel operators due to its flexibility. Also, Priceline has a more experienced sales team contributing to the increase in hotel count.
Growth in Booking.com
A major driver of growth for Priceline's revenue and market share has been Booking.com. In the last two years, Priceline has had tremendous growth in its hotel count through its Booking.com. It has added ~7500 hotels bringing the total count to 252K till date. And by 4Q 2012, it will have 255K hotels with a year over year growth of ~40%. Also, what impresses more about Booking.com is that there is no heavy marketing behind it. The growth is also aided by online bookings. It has grown more than seven folds and is expected to continue this going forward. The total hotel room nights booked in 2006 was 18.7 million which has increased to 141.6 million in 2011 marking a year over year growth of 52%.
Priceline has a dominant position in the European market that is still unsaturated offering more growth years. The first nine months growth for 2012 is ~60% which indicates that Priceline has sold 12% of all European nights this year. When compared with the US market the entire OTA channel is only 12-13% of total stayed room nights. So the figure weighs heavy on Priceline's exposure which is under construction in Europe.
Exposure to Airline Industry
Priceline has a low risk factor due to its much smaller exposure to airlines. Its total bookings from air are ~5% only, therefore any breakdown in the airline industry whether it is bankruptcy or lower booking commissions would least affect the OTA. Conversely, this lower exposure would result in higher margins as compared with other OTA's having higher greater exposures. There is much lower commission in air bookings i.e. only $5 on an average ticket price of $250 for domestic and $1950 for international flights whereas hotel commissions run in double digits.
As opposed to the airlines, Priceline finds more growth in its rental cars segment which has seen healthy growth since its acquisition in 2010. The segment represents a very small portion of the business offering a room for growth in Europe. The rental car rates are parallel to the hotel rates, so fundamentally and financially more beneficial from the air business.
Google's Entry in Online Travel
Priceline and other OTA's can face stiff competition with the entry of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) into the online travel segment. Following the acquisition of ITA, a flight search software maker, Google is testing out its Flight Explorer service allowing travelers to search for more travel options. It also let travelers search for cheaper flights and look for on flight features available. Google has also launched a meta-search service for hotel bookings called Hotel Finder. In addition, its Google+ Local offers users to discover and share places. With Google+ Local, users can also post images and share reviews of locations directly to the page. Furthermore, Google has integrated Zagat reviews and ratings to the Google+ Local. Though Google+ Local is very useful for small businesses, but these services are not running at a pace like the search engine is doing. It will still take time for a perfect take off but then also, OTA have to be prepared to combat with the upcoming threat.
In conclusion, Priceline and Expedia are the US market leaders and will continue to gain the market share. Priceline brands and Expedia brands have grown their OTA traffic share from Google travel search by 269bp and 118bp. On the other hand Google is moving deeper into the vertical travel search and investing aggressively to make a foothold. But Priceline's scale in the global online market is not easy to replicate with its significant presence through the successful acquisitions (Booking.com, Agoda, Carrentals.com) and also through its organic growth. Also, Expedia brands have high recognition in hotel search and hotel booking. Therefore, investors have less to worry about the growth potential in Priceline and Expedia.

Edward Snowden: Man without a country, in limbo
The case of surveillance leaker Edward Snowden appears to be getting stranger and stranger.
He has apparently sought political asylum in a host of countries. (India is the latest to turn him down.)
Ecuador seemingly became more unlikely after Joe Biden placed a call to Ecuador's president over the weekend.
Russian President Vladimir Putin - while resisting U.S. requests to turn over Snowden - said something strange that Snowden should stop leaking U.S. secrets if he wanted possible asylum in Russia.
In surveillance-averse Germany, stung by new revelations of U.S. electronic snooping, sentiment seems to be growing to offer Snowden asylum in Deutschland.
Question: Have your views of Edward Snowden and revelations about the breadth of U.S. surveillance changed since this story first broke?
From the English version of Der Spiegel on line...

Allan Loudell: The CBC reported this morning that Biden is pressuring countries NOT to give Snowden amnesty.
Once again, Biden the long-time bought and paid-for tool of the banking industry shows himself to be a political hack (and gets another free pass from the Delaware MSM).
It will be a messed-up world when Snowdon, a bona fide hero, is in jail, and Biden goes free.
Allan Loudell
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 9:19am
Not just the CBC. But it's interesting that Ecuador caved.
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 1:50pm
I caught the last 30-45 minutes of the Bourne Ultimatum on TV over the weekend... great series of movies, I always have to watch them whenever they're on. But I was struck by something Snowden-esque. Towards the end, a government agent (Pamela Landy) helps the fugitive Jason Bourne in his attempts to unveil the truth about the program that made him. Bourne stole confidential documents (clearly labeled "Top Secret") and gives them to Landy, who promptly faxes them somewhere, one assumes to the media. She is seen as a hero for working with Bourne to leak these classified documents, while the people who created and perpetuated the corrupt government program are indicted and jailed.
Apparently art no longer imitates life (or vice-versa).
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 2:19pm
Bona Fide Hero Indeed??? Have our standards for heroism dropped this low? Curious as to why you used the term "Caved" Ecuador has not shown great interest from the beginning. Overall the world is enjoying our discomfort, but in the end, they are themselves not guiltless. For a country to harbor Snowden would bring upon it a great deal of unwelcomed media scrutiny.
Allan Loudell
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 3:37pm
To Tonyi---
I will answer your question about why I said Ecuador had apparently "caved".
Remember, Ecuador's embassy in London continues to offer sanctuatary to Wikileaks' Julian Assange.
Furthermore, Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa - a leftist - likes to make common cause (often against the U.S., despite Ecuador's use of the U.S. Dollar and U.S. retirees who have settled in Ecuador!) with other leftist governments in the Americas, notably Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, and of late, El Salvador.
Correa actually wrote a dissertation (at my alma mater, the University of Illinois) against the so-called, Washington Consensus. His philosophical underpinnings appear to be the old Catholic Left, liberation theology.
Doubtless, Joe Biden read Correa the riot act on things like trade.
Allan Loudell
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 6:00pm
I'd sure like to read Joe Biden the riot act and send him back to Greenville!
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 6:21pm
Maybe the Wikileaks community can get some real dirt on old Joe and then spread it around. Maybe get him impeached and removed. Long overdue.

Tue, Jul 2, 2013 6:39pm
La Paz, Bolivia (AP): Bolivian minister: President Evo Morales' plane rerouted to Austria on suspicion Snowden on board.
(But the Bolivian foreign minister denied that report, saying they didn't know who would invent such a lie! Further, France & Portugal had closed their airspace to the Bolivian Presidential aircraft on the basis of this falsehood, and THAT forced the rerouting to Austria.)
Loudell comment: Snowden going to Bolivia would make sense. Bolivia is not as susceptible to U.S. pressure as Ecuador. The indigenous President Morales marches to his own drum.
The denial by the foreign minister might provide cover while Snowden is en route, but who knows? The next few hours will tell... Of course, an unscheduled stop in Austria - for completely different reasons - might have planted the seeds for a false report. But what information did the Portuguese and the French receive?
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 7:48pm
Snowden if that is his real name, has done himself a disservice. In his defense, it is not one he could have foreseen, but his detention in Moscow has lead headlines around the world, usually as the lead. Case in point, his name was in the first breathless line at noon and at 4 o'clock with Mr.Loudell's entrance itself.
All this attention has removed the shock and subsequent discussion over whether this spying though legal, was constitutional... There is nary a comment. The good he tried to do, is being undone by his own story which has become the media's focus.
I really couldn't care about Snowden... If he would pay rent I'd let him stay in one of my properties. But I do care that spying on every American was done in complete violation of what America is supposed to stand for. We tell Burma to step back, yet was are actually worse than they.
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 7:52pm
You don't need Wikileaks for dirt on Joe... The real scoop was that he did not get rich as a Senator; he had the lowest net worth of all Senators while serving. He does not kow-tow to special interests but takes governing for the people seriously; it is they who factor in all his decisions, and family is the most important thing to him...
That's as dirty as it gets.
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 7:57pm
Good to know Billsmith and I agree on Biden.
Tue, Jul 2, 2013 8:00pm
Kavips: This from the guy who says Obama is the greatest president in our lifetimes. Forget about Biden and the banks. Biden and the chemical companies. Biden and Amtrak. He doesn't need net worth with all those sweetheart deals. Of course, you can't be blamed completely for not knowing about it. The Delaware media never mention any of it.
Wed, Jul 3, 2013 12:01am
The Delaware media are closer on point to Biden than any of the national media. Read how the Washington Post tried to frame his statement about inner-city schools into a racist gaffe.... It wasn't one, but they reported it as such anyhow. One can't trust any newspaper source with corporate sponsors and a corporate agenda. If you want the truth, get it from CBC... Can you find any links up there that don't praise him? From personal on-the-street conversations, they kind of think both current number-one and number-two occupants are the best we've ever had too... Like me, they see things objectively.
Wed, Jul 3, 2013 12:02am
I should say that was before the leak we spied on them. I'm sure they are pissed now.
Wed, Jul 3, 2013 1:48am
Kavips: It's said love and hate are not opposites but twins. Starting to think the same applies to you and Pizza.
Wed, Jul 3, 2013 7:33am
The U.S. shows itself to be the great international bully yet again. Biden and Company pressured the E.U. countries to force down a plane carrying the president of Bolivia because of a (false) report Snowden was on board. Bolivia's U.N. ambassador says it he will complain to the U.N. about this violation of international law.
And some of you wonder why the world hates this country.
I wonder what would happen if some other country grounded Air Force One.
Wed, Jul 3, 2013 11:44am
Every time I see the headline, I picture Snowden in the Moscow airport. Two guys are holding a bar between them and Snowden has to dance under it.
I guess Snowden is not Catholic, since they did away with Limbo.
Thu, Jul 4, 2013 10:04pm
I too have been a "man without a country" since January 20th, 2009.
Fri, Jul 5, 2013 2:36pm
Pizza/Kavips: But you're still here?
Sat, Jul 6, 2013 2:00pm
Yep. The tea party and I are working on taking it back.
Sun, Jul 7, 2013 7:05am
Pizza/Kavips: Most of the public has had enough of both of you. The Republican leadership is moving to purge you. Wackos are like cicadas. They pop up every so often and make a lot of noise. Then disappear again. Strom Thurmond. George Wallace. Ross Perot. Tea Nuts today. Somebody else should be along in the 30s with pretty much the same spiel.
Sun, Jul 7, 2013 2:57pm
billsmith: Just curious. How do you figure me and Kavips are the same person? Kavips' political views are totally 90 degrees opposite, and in fact, his party affiliation is Democrat while mine is Republican?
I do share your view about him being crazy though. But then, so are you.
Sun, Jul 7, 2013 4:51pm
Speaking of crazy...
Sun, Jul 7, 2013 4:55pm
Great clip, Kavips. I LOVE those old Lawrence Welk shows!
