The 2012 Trans-Am Series was the 44th season of the Sports Car Club of America's Trans American Road Racing Championship.

New management
From 2012 onward, Trans-Am Race Company, LLC, has managed the series. They will manage the series until at least 2016. They are looking to "bring the series back to its glory years". Their plan is to get away from the new, three-class format and return to the pony cars that made the series famous.

The series also established a media partner, GoRacingTV. Select markets would also be able to view Trans Am races on MAVTV. GoRacingTV was a website providing highlights of various racing events.

News

It was announced on November 17, 2011, that a new Ford Mustang was in the works for entry into the series during the 2012 season. The car will use the 302 cubic inch (5 liter) engine from the production model.

Highlights

Though he won only one race, Chuck Cassaro would go on to overcome Tim Gray's four victories and win the GGT Championship by a comfortable 36 points, giving (American manufacturer) Panoz its first ever Trans Am title. With a GGT win at Mid Ohio, courtesy of Belgian driver Jan Heylen, Dodge garnered its first Trans Am victory since 2001.

The United States Senate election of 1972 in Massachusetts was held on November 7, 1972.  Incumbent Republican Senator Edward Brooke defeated Democratic nominee John Droney in a landslide. , this remains the last time that a Republican has Massachusetts’s Class 2 Senate seat and the last time a Republican has been elected to either Senate seat for a full term. This was also the last time until 2010 that a Republican would win any U.S. Senate election in the state.

Republican primary

Candidates
 Edward Brooke, incumbent Senator since 1967

Senator Edward Brooke was unopposed for re-nomination. At the state convention on June 24, he was renominated by acclamation.

Democratic primary

Candidates
 John J. Droney, Middlesex County District Attorney
 Gerald O'Leary, Boston City Councilor
 John P. Lynch, Hampden County Register of Deeds

Eliminated at the convention
George Burke, Norfolk County district attorney (endorsed Droney)

Declined
 John Kenneth Galbraith, economist and former U.S. Ambassador to India

Campaign
John Droney won the party endorsement at the June 11 convention on the sixth ballot. The party platform endorsed legalized marijuana and an end to the Vietnam War. Droney himself did not oppose the war, stating that there was no right or wrong stand on Vietnam. He received the support of state attorney general Robert H. Quinn, Boston Mayor Kevin White and state legislative leadership. After losing at the convention, Norfolk County district attorney George Burke dropped out of the race and backed Droney. However Boston City Councilor Gerald O'Leary, who was seen as the most liberal candidate, and Hampden County Register of Deeds John Pierce Lynch chose to stay in the race and face Droney in the Democratic primary.

Results

General election

Candidates
 Edward Brooke, incumbent Senator since 1967 (Republican)
 John J. Droney, Middlesex County District Attorney (Democratic)
 Donald Gurewitz, anti-war activist (Socialist Workers)

Campaign
Brooke centered his campaign on experience and his sponsorship of an amendment to end the Vietnam War. Droney ran on a law and order platform supporting Richard Nixon's conservative nominees to the United States Supreme Court and questioning the value of the Fifth Amendment. He also supported some of the president's foreign policy initiatives and did not come out against the Vietnam War. He chose to focus his attacks on Brooke's record as Massachusetts Attorney General, an office Brooke held from 1963 to 1966, rather than on his record in the senate. Droney criticized Brooke for files that had allegedly disappeared during his administration (an investigative panel could not determine if the files went missing under Brooke's watch or that of his successor Elliot Richardson) as well for his handling of the Boston Strangler case.

Brooke held a large lead throughout the campaign. He led Droney 72% to 18% in an October poll conducted by Becker Research and 66% to 23% in a poll conducted by the same firm shortly before election day.

Sophus Magdalon Buck Kahrs (28 March 1918 – 18 November 1986) was a Norwegian commander in the German SS during the Nazi era. Following the war, he was convicted for treason.

SS career
Kahrs was born in Bergen, Norway in 1918 into a family of German origins. He joined the Nasjonal Samling in 1934. And around the same time he also joined the party's paramilitary wing, the Hird, and from 1936 the NS Battle Organization. After the outbreak of World War II, he volunteered for service in the Norwegian Legion of the Waffen-SS. In the summer of 1944 made acting battalion commander of the SS Ski Jäger Battalion "Norwegen".

In 2013 Norwegian daily Dagbladet's then correspondent in Germany said that "The Norwegian company commander failed—and fled the combat zone, while many were killed or captured". Kahrs disappeared early in the battle—later reappearing uninjured in the rear echelons, where he in his own report put himself in a positive light; thus avoiding court martial. Later he was put in charge of Vidkun Quisling's bodyguard detail, known as the Førergarde.

Criminal conviction
After the war, Kahrs was arrested and charged with treason. He was convicted and sentenced to 10 years of hard labour. He escaped on 3 July 1947, along with three other inmates, from Espeland concentration camp. They soon joined up with three other former SS members and sailed on the boat Solbris to Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was joined by his wife and son.  He found work as an electrician, and later as a foreman at an American car company, until his death on 18 November 1986. His son returned to Bergen in 2005, a year later, he died.

Gail Grainger is an English actress best remembered for her role as Moira Plunkett, a travel courier, in the 1972 comedy film Carry On Abroad.

Background
Gail Grainger took up dancing at the age of six and studied at a theatrical school. She had television roles in her teens in the BBC's production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Iolanthe and in ATV's soap opera Crossroads.

Carry on Abroad

In Carry On Abroad (1972), Gail played Miss Moira Plunkett, an assistant to tour courier Stuart Farquhar (Kenneth Williams), a character type often played by Valerie Leon in earlier Carry On films. The couriers led a party that included Sid James, Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Connor, June Whitfield, Sally Geeson, Carol Hawkins and Bernard Bresslaw on a weekend trip to the Spanish holiday resort of Elsbels. Her phlegmatic and slightly bemused approach to a series of disastrous situations culminated in her extricating the party from a foreign jail by making advances to the local police chief. In some ways this was a stereotypical Carry On part: a young woman in a uniform who, from time to time, was reduced to a state of semi-undress, as, for example, when the touring party consumed an elixir with pronounced aphrodisiacal qualities.

Other roles
On stage, Gail played three parts - a fantasy maid, a nurse and a member of a female gang led by Kate O'Mara as Madame Gerda – in a 1971 play entitled Dead Duck produced by Leslie Phillips, based on the television series The Avengers. This was first performed in Birmingham and later at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. She subsequently appeared with Leslie Phillips, and under his direction, in Joyce Rayburn's comedy The Man Most Likely To ..., both at the Duke of York's Theatre in London and on a world tour. The Man Most Likely To ... opened initially at the Vaudeville Theatre on 4 July 1968, and ran for over 1,000 performances in London.

She also appeared in episodes of a number of television series, including Casanova '73 (also with Leslie Phillips, 1973), Warship (as Heather Gardiner in the episode "The Man from the Sea", 1974), The Sweeney (as Carter's girlfriend Jill in the episode "Sweet Smell of Succession", 1976), Butterflies (1979) and Rings on Their Fingers (1980). Her last film role to date was as Consuela in the Joe Lewis action film Jaguar Lives! (1979).

Sir William Willcocks  (27 September 1852 in India – 28 July 1932 in Cairo, Egypt) was a British civil engineer during the high point of the British Empire. He was an irrigation engineer who proposed and built the first Aswan Dam, the scale of which had never been attempted previously. He later undertook other major irrigation projects in South Africa and in Arab regions of the dying Ottoman Empire.

Biography
Willcocks was one of four sons of a British Engineer posted in Roorkee for Ganges canal works.  He graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 1872, and joined the Indian Public Works Department the same year. Following the British invasion and occupation of Egypt, he began work with the long-established Egyptian Public Works Department in 1883. He was serving as director general of reservoirs for Egypt when he completed his studies and plans in 1896 to construct the Aswan Low Dam, the first true storage reservoir on the river. He supervised its construction from 1898 to its completion in 1902. He also designed and constructed another dam on the Nile, the Assiut Barrage, also completed in 1902. For his service to these projects he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in December 1902. He later became chairman of the Cairo Water Works Company, and was also president of the Anglo-Egyptian Land Allotments Company which was instrumental for the urbanization of Zamalek district (then known as Gezireh) early in the 20th century. One of the streets of Zamalek was named 'Willcocks' after him. He left his position in Egypt by 1897 and four years later he was invited to South Africa. With the end of the Anglo-Boer War he was asked to look into the possibility of irrigation projects in the Transvaal and Orange River Colony.

He later became head of irrigation for the Ottoman Turkish government, for what was then the greater area of Turkish Arabia. He drew up the first accurate maps of the region, which were subsequently a great help to British expeditionary forces in 1914 and again in 1915. In 1911 he proposed to have the water brought to the ancient area of Chaldea in Southern Mesopotamia. The Hindiya Barrage was consequently built on the River Euphrates near ancient Babylon, bringing  under irrigation. He worked on irrigation projects in Romania shortly before the outbreak of World War I, and again as late as 1928 in Bengal, where he had received some his early training.

In January 1921 he was put on trial before the Supreme Consular Court of Egypt on a charge of sedition and criminal libel, on account of statements made by him impugning the trustworthiness of the data concerning the Nile irrigation published by Murdoch Macdonald, adviser of the Egyptian Ministry of Public Works. He was found guilty 11 March, and on 16 April he was bound over to be of good behaviour for one year.

He died at the Anglo-American Hospital in Cairo.

Alexander Basil Crawford (24 May 1891 – 10 May 1916) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Warwickshire in the Championship-winning side of 1911 and for Nottinghamshire in 1912. He was born at Coleshill, Warwickshire and died in the fighting of the First World War at Laventie and Richebourg, France.

Cricket career
Crawford was a tall lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler. He played second eleven cricket for Nottinghamshire in 1909 and 1910, he was picked for Warwickshire, for whom he had a birth qualification, for the match against the Indians in 1911 and, having made an unbeaten 24 in his only innings, batting at No 10, he took six second-innings wickets for just 36 runs, which proved to be the best bowling return of his brief career. He then appeared in six further Championship matches, four of them won by Warwickshire on their way to their first Championship title, in which he contributed no outstanding figures, but useful runs and wickets, though he bowled a lot of no-balls as well.

In 1912, instead of playing for Warwickshire, Crawford turned out instead in around half of Nottinghamshire's games – he was qualified for the county through residence. Regarded by his new county less as a bowler and more as a batsman, he had one day of success, making 51 against the Australians in a game won by the county. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack noted that "Crawford hit with great power"; in its Nottinghamshire notes for the season, however, Wisden was rather dismissive of Crawford, saying that he was "just a hard hitter and nothing more". He did not play any further county cricket after 1912.

Outside cricket
Crawford's father was a former army medical doctor who settled at Skegby, Nottinghamshire. Crawford went to school at Oundle School and then qualified as a solicitor; he practised at Boston, Lincolnshire. On the outbreak of war in 1914, he joined the Lincolnshire Regiment as a private, accepting a commission with the Sherwood Foresters six months later and then transferring to the West Yorkshire Regiment, where he was a captain at the time of his death. His obituary states that he was 6 ft 4in tall and was also a rugby player for Nottingham Rugby Club.

False Evidence, originally titled Madelon of the Redwoods, is a 1919 American silent drama film that was directed by Edwin Carewe. It stars Viola Dana, Wheeler Oakman, and Joseph King, and was released on April 21, 1919.

Cast
 Viola Dana as Madelon MacTavish
 Wheeler Oakman as Burr Gordon
 Joseph King as Lot Gordon
 Edward J. Connelly as Sandy MacTavish
 J. Patrick O'Malley as Richard MacTavish
 Peggy Pearce as Dorothy Fair
 Virginia Ross as Samanthy Brown

Production
The movie was originally titled Madelon of the Redwoods, but was renamed False Evidence in April 1919. The film was the first adaptation of any sort of one of Mary E. Wilkins Freeman novels.  On March 17, 1919, the Santa Cruz Evening News reported that Viola Dana and Wheeler Oakman, for Metro Pictures, had finished filming on location at Hopkins' Big Trees in Felton and were headed south to film the interior segments of Madelon of the Redwoods. According to Derek Whaley, Metro repurposed defunct buildings in a part of the park called Welch Grove to serve as a "pioneer town" for the film.

Reception
Exhibitor's Herald, while they found the storyline dark and grim, praised the performances of Oakman and King, and while they felt it was far from Dana's best performance, they felt she did it "faithfully and effectively".  They felt the picture was done very realistically.  The Tampa Sunday Tribune gave the film a good review, calling it "a gripping romance of the redwoods, giving Viola Dana a role that reflects all her vivid personality and dramatic powers."  The Nashville Banner also gave the film a good review, highlighting the performances of both Dana, and her supporting cast.  The Sacramento Star enjoyed the film as well, "a radiant story becauase Viola Dana takes the stellar role, which is one of laughter and pathos."
