Former Red Alan Smith is currently still playing for MK Dons but harbours ambitions to further his coaching career. He took time out to speak to ManUtd.com..
How is your coaching career going?
I've got to finish my coaching badges off but I'm going over to Northern Ireland as you can do them there. I'm somewhere in the middle of everything but I'd like to do what Paul McGuinness and Warren Joyce do, get involved and try and progress the young lads and get them through. I've had that experience of the other side of the fence where you do have to get through and relate to people who maybe you don't remember playing. Hopefully, they will still remember me as a player and can relate to what I'm telling them. If the information youngsters are getting is coming from the likes of Ryan [Giggs], Phil [Neville] and Nicky [Butt], they're all doing similar jobs at United, then I think that's brilliant. People remember them playing not so long ago so the information they are putting across is taken on board straight away.
So does having that profile of being an ex-international earn greater respect from the youngsters?
At Newcastle, we did a lot of work with Willie Donachie and he told me that some of the lads didn't even remember him as a player so, to them, he was just an old man telling them what to do and not somebody who had played at the World Cup and for Celtic, Manchester City etc. The young lads coming through the Academy didn't have a clue about that. So it can be hard to get your points across but especially the lads at United will look up to Rio, Nicky etc having come through the academy and will have seen the development their careers have had. They will help them to try and listen and learn to develop players.
You took charge of the MK Dons Reserves last season. Is that something you want to do full-time?
I'm going to do that coaching again this year. We can't get in the Under-21 Premier League obviously so we've got a big void between lads playing in the Under-18s and making the step up to the first team from the youth team. There is

Will Oldham on Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Book Summary
The Americana-punk-indie musician describes his body of work over the past twenty-five years, as well as his travels and artistic influences in a series of conversations with a fellow musician, author, and friend.

Best Music Of 2012
Staff Picks: Our Favorite Music Books Of 2012
Friends who saw me carrying this book groaned at the title, assuming that what lay inside was some kind of self-hagiography. In fact, Will Oldham on Bonnie "Prince" Billy is an interview — the longest and most incisive ever done with the press-shy songwriter and actor. And if anything, the book makes a man, not a myth, of its subject, by putting him in conversation with a good friend who happens to also be a good journalist.

Comments about Get'm Get'm White Zebra Guitar Strap:
Having owned another Get'M Get'M strap (the Indochine) I was already impressed by the quality and the comfort. For a 2" wide strap (I usually prefer wider), they're very comfortable. The straps extend as long as even the tallest player will ever need. I'm 6'3" and there's at least a foot more length than I can ever use. The zebra design is personal preference, but I like the way it stands out equally well on a white shirt or a black shirt. And it matches everything. Nice. Rated a "4" for value because Get'M straps are not cheap.

Thoughts on the 58th Bomb Wing:
I can't separate my service between the 58th Wing and Hqtrs. 20th B.C. It is almost like they were one and the same. In the bomb groups I worked and flew with leaders like Col. Alva Harvey and Lt. Col. James Edmundson. In the 20th B.C. I had almost daily contact with Generals Wolf, Saunders and O'Donnell. Also the many Colonels in the Command. When General Kenney sent his Chief of Staff to Salina to check into the B-29's, I had the privilege of flying him on a special trip to Ft. Worth after which he requested my transfer to his Command. I refused the transfer. In the CBI, I was part of the chaos that took place in the early period.
Unfortunately, a serious injury and reoccurring malaria resulted in my return to the States in late August 1944. I returned to duty in the Spring of 1945 and immediately became an instructor B-29 Pilot at Davis-Monthan, Tucson, AZ. I am proud to have served in the original B-29 program.

"Firmware bugs really cripple the router."
on by mb822Pros Awesome hardware.
Cons Firmware. This firmware is so buggy, just go to the community support site at Cisco's website, you'll be pretty amazed at some of the simple, yet very crippling, bugs that made it through.
Summary The hardware specs of this router are awesome. However, the firmware cripples it. There are some pretty fundamental bugs that made it through, which still, after 100+ days since the last update, still affect the router. Go to the community support site and you'll see nothing but silly issues with the router. I've been fortunate that none of the bugs have been show-stoppers for me, but I wouldn't recommend this router with its current firmware (2.0.36 as of the time of this writing).
Cisco switched to a Marvell chipset on the v2, which means that you can't load any solid 3rd-party firmware to address the stock's shortfalls. With this, you would hope that more substantial firmware updates would come through, or at least more often. The routers of some of the others in this price range have undergone quite a few updates which have fixed many issues they experienced. Yet this router, as a flagship of the E-Series, still has a lot of problems.
My final point is that, for some unexplained reason, Cisco has removed functionality that was there in other flagship routers. I'm coming from a WRT610N to this, and I still can't understand how the parental controls are so much weaker than on my previous router. Also, the advanced wireless settings have been removed. In addition to fixing the bugs in the firmware, it's really getting hard to stick with firmware that doesn't feel like it offers any additional value, things like bandwidth monitoring and so forth.
If you're going to go with the e4200, definitely get your hands on the v1 so you can load decent firmware on it. If you get the v2, you'll have buggy firmware, and it doesn't seem like there will ever be a way to get around the lack of updates and fixes, due to the Marvell chipset. It's awesome on paper, and the hardware is there, but being stuck with sub-par firmware is really quite unfortunate. -
"Good speed and range... but don't expect anything more."
on by Renegade_RaulPros - Excellent data speeds (although I think the included speed test software exaggerates it)
- Nice looking
- Seemed pretty reliable (no dropped connections in my brief experience)
- Very good range even through several walls speed remained pretty goodCons - At this price range I was expecting more, my previous router cost me $50! and worked well.
- VERY few external hard drives are compatible! Make sure you google to see if your HD will work.
- Problematic setup.
- Tech Support wasn't very helpful.Summary I was leaning towards the Airport Extreme but this router had better reviews from cnet. Setup was problematic it just didn't go smoothly (Never had any problems with any previous routers). After all was said and done, the signal was strong and fast BUT I cant stand behind this price. Specially since I cant use it with my WD MyBook HD. At this price point everything should work spectacularly right out of the box! I didn't want to sound like an Apple Fanboy but I will be exchanging it for the Airport Extreme. Apple has always been straightforward, no caveats. And im sure it will work well with my Macbook and my HFS+ formatted external hard drive.
"USB NAS sounds better than it really is"
on by Reni PerezPros Easy setup off CD software
Good speed on both 2/5 Ghz bands
Fast USB with flash driveCons Pricey
USB NAS slows down or stops depending on drive size and number of files
Occasional drop outs in wireless signalSummary I wanted to upgrade from a G router since I now own an iPhone and iPad which use N-wireless plus was looking to connect a USB drive for use as a NAS drive. The setup was very easy using the included CD and the connections strength to all my devices is strong though I have experienced a couple of periods where there is no wireless activity and then it comes on after a while.
In addition, CNET gave the USB to NAS speed on the Linksys E4200 V2 great marks but in my trying to connect a Western Digital 2TB drive via a USB enclosure to the E4200V2 router, I found that it worked fine and fast when it had a few files on it but once I copied 1.5 GB of movies and music to the drive and tried it, Windows 7 gave me an error message on trying to access the drive. After a couple of hours with Cisco support, I learned that the USB connection is limited to 2TB and to the number of files and folders which I had exceeded. So one main reason for buying this router over a less expensive one, became pointless. I may return the router for a Netgear or ASUS and buy a separate NAS box. -
"Fantastic router!"
on by darrylxPros This router works great for me! Believe it or not, I have it housed in the basement under the stairs, and wi-fi reception is still incredibly strong two floors up. Set-up was easy and mobile app is useful and beneficial for network identification.
Cons The interface for the external option (ftp, networking,etc.)is somewhat confusing; but, I have to admit this is the first time I have tried to use such an option.
Summary Overall, it is an incredibly powerful router that would be a plus to have for common use or if one is proficient with networking to take advantage of all of the options.

Saison strain with more fruity ester production than with WLP565. Moderately phenolic, with a clove-like characteristic in finished beer flavor and aroma. Ferments faster than WLP565.

Feedback and experiences from previous customers. Want to leave a review of your own?
Every time I enter my Saison brewed with this yeast, I win a gold medal. I have used this for tripels as well and won gold medals.
For me, there is no other Saison yeast.
This yeast isn't fussy about temperature and doesn't stall out. Takes a few weeks for it to finish fermenting but it eats up all available sugar if you just give it time(FG 1.004-1.006). Lovely earthy and lemony aroma, phenolics are present but the clove doesn't take over the aroma or taste, just sits in the background. If you like Hennepin, this is the yeast to use to come close to a clone of that beer. Having tried some Saison yeasts in the past that haven't performed as I'd like, I'm not sure I can think of why I would use any other Saison yeast. Wonderful yeast!
The WLP566 fermented out nice and dry with great fruity esters. I started at 68 deg for 48 hours and then ramped to 80 after 6 days.
A favorite of mine. This year, with a proper water to grain ratio, proper pH & extended mash time this yeast fermented out to 89%. I love Saison d'Epeautre and this yeast seems to get me as close as I would like. Deliciously fruity with a earthly/spicy tone in the bottle conditioned beers that I truly love. I am just sorry that this yeast is only available at the end of summer. Maybe next year we can get it earlier so we can have Saison all summer instead of just the end of summer into fall. Thank you White Labs for this great strain.
White Labs hit it out of the park with this one! I made an abbey-style ale in September, that I have just bottled. Nice balance of mild fruitiness and phenolic characteristics with slight spiciness. Fermentation went well and I believe I got 84% fermentation from an original gravity of 1.076. The ale is very clear. This yeast gives an excellent smooth balanced flavor that is subtly complex. I will definitely use this again for a saison or a trappist-style beer and would love to try it in a blonde.
I love this yeast, it's my house strain and I use it year round. Very fast finisher, big fruity esters, no fusels even with high gravity beers fermented 80-90F. I use it for almost every batch I make, split fermenting 12 gal batches, with 1 carboy using this yeast. It is always better, or at least as good, as the classic strain for the style I'm brewing used to ferment the other carboy. From what I understand, it's origins are from Brasserie de Blaugies.
566 ferments clean with a lot of fruit and moderate phenolic esters. I don't use any spices or adjuncts in my Saisons and I get plenty of island fruit and moderate phenolics from 566. I've sampled many homebrewed & commercial Saisons and this yeast produces a far superior product. It can be a long or short finisher. First batch I pitched at 68F and fermented it at 70-72F with great results but it took 2.5 weeks to reach 81% att. The second and third batches I pitched at 68F and increased fermentation temperature to 80F over 48 hours which resulted in an astounding 89% att within 7 days. Note: I used yeast nutrient in 2nd and 3rd batches. I'm on the 4th generation with this yeast and getting consistent results. Don't be afraid to raise fermentation temp to 80F with this yeast also, mash in at 145-147 to get a typical 80-90% attenuation for a Saison.
A really excellent saison yeast. Will get excellent attenuation without much hassle. I try to keep a culture of this in the fridge all the time as I like to use it all summer. I wish you would release it a little earlier in the year as I like to start my saisons in May.
I've been using this yeast for 6+ generations and it always finished dry with no stuck fermentations. I usually build up a starter to make sure the yeast is healthy and ready to go. I've fermented it from 70 all the way up to 85 F. I've found it to be lower in ester than 565, slightly more phenolic and definitely less finicky. This is the yeast for my "house saison"
Wow, this yeast works fast! After hearing so many stories about saison yeast in general taking a long time to ferment I thought this would take a while. Went from 1.056 to 1.004 in a matter of days! Fermentation started within few hours of pitching. FYI used a 2000ml starter for a 5.25 gallon batch.
This yeast will not disappoint. Does not stall at 1030 like Saison I strain. Leaves a bit more fruitiness to beer (in my opinion). One of my favorite strains out there. Have won several comps with this yeast. Great for traditional saison recipes as well as more experimental saisons i.e catalyst saison. Very good yeast for warmer fermentation temps. (like my 78 degree basement) in the summer.
This yeasts makes great saisons. I brewed three saisons this summer with this yeast, and they have turned out great. I wish this yeast was available earlier in the year, because I want to be drinking my saisons in July, not waiting until July to begin brewing them. I made my own slants this year, so I won't have that problem next year.
This yeast can do both lower ABV Saisons and higher Tripels. Both have won awards using this strain. Just make sure you use a large starter for the Tripel.

BRENHAM, Texas – The Blinn College baseball team won both games of a Region XIV Conference double-header against the Wharton County Pioneers Saturday at Leroy Dreyer Field.
The Buccaneers defeated Wharton County 8-1 and 13-6 on "Turn Back the Clock Day," in which the Bucs wore uniforms replicating those worn by Blinn College teams in the 1920s and '30s. Proceeds from the event benefitted Adam's Angels Ministry, a non-profit organization that reaches out to families that have been affected by childhood cancer.
Blinn began hosting Turn Back the Clock Days in 2009 as a fundraiser for local charities. In previous years, the event has raised money for community organizations such as Boys & Girls Club of Washington County, the Brazos Valley Hospice and Washington County Little League.
The Buccaneers won the opening game behind a dominant performance from left-hander Wesley Wick, who allowed just three hits in a complete-game effort. Wick allowed one earned run while walking three and striking out three.
He got three runs of quick support from the Buccaneers in the opening inning, including an RBI single from Kevin Santana. Blinn broke the game open in the fifth as Taylor Cobb hit a two-run single and Cullen Gassaway added an RBI single in a five-run rally.
Cobb finished 2-for-2 and Scott Jones was 2-for-4.
Blinn fell behind 4-0 in the nightcap before rallying for five runs in the fifth. From there, the Bucs scored three in the sixth, two in the seventh and three more in the eighth. In all, nine different Buccaneers drove in runs.
Gassaway and Hayden Vesely each had three hits and a pair of RBIs on the day, and Tyler Coker was 2-for-5 with two RBIs. Colin Fry, Brandon Montalvo and Santana each went 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Jones was 2-for-5 with a run driven in.
Kyle Mueller pitched the first 2 1/3 innings for Blinn, allowing three runs – two earned – on five hits and two walks. He struck out two.
Robert Dickey earned the win in relief, throwing 3 2/3 innings. Dickey allowed three runs – one earned – on four hits while striking out seven. J.C. Neighbors threw the final three innings, holding Wharton County scoreless on three hits. He struck out three.
The Buccaneers host McLennan for a 3 p.m. double-header Tuesday at Leroy Dreyer Field.

I'm looking forward to read this interview as well. You may like Frank Caroll as a person or not, but he is one of the most successfull coaches for single skaters and always seemed to know how to "play the game" in terms of politicks, etc. So I'm sure it will be interesting to read!
Whoa ... by now I suppose you've turned into a quad, since quads quads and more quads and quad-mongering is all you seem to live for. Apparently, you've sold your soul to the quad and its feeding upon the empty shell that is one caseyedwards.
I don't think with Frank it has necessarily been all about "playing" the political game as much as it has been about passing down what he learned from Maribel Vinson Owen, as well as taking care of business in the best way he's known how. He's kinda cantankerous and sweet at the same time, but above all a gentle-spirited gentleman and no-nonsense taskmaster. When he says he believes in you, he does.
Right standards? According to whom? You? I really don't think your opinion on the right standards amounts to more than a hill of beans.
Why don't you just admit you are still pissed of, three years later, that your precious Plushenko did not win the gold? Everything you have said since Vancouver shows that you believe the quad is king. Well guess what, by that token you should be arguing that Timothy Goebel should have won Salt Lake. Doesn't matter how lights out, Alexei Yagudin skated, but your arguments Goebel should have won because he did three quads.
BTW, if you're going to argue the most complete skater should have won Vancouver, there is no way that skater should be Plushenko. Takahashi was the most complete skater in Vancouver.
'Life's hard. It's even harder when you're stupid.'--John Wayne
The isu rule changes made the strategy impossible. So the rule changes were all coincidental? Not by my standards but the isu rule changes. That layout can no longer even really be attempted as a win because the point possibilities arent there anymore. Short programs now have more quads than the 2010 Olympic free program!! If takahashi landed his quad the yes he should have won and then plushenko still with silver. I do not ever say most quads win but a quad must at least be attempted for the program to be up to men's standard of what's possible. Not any quadless nonsense. That can barely win Jrs now.
And along that same line, why were you agreeing with Plushenko's statement about Chan winning Worlds this season? I mean, Patrick did have 2 quads in the FS. According to your line of reasoning (quads being worth way more), Patrick should've won this hands-down no matter what else he did in the program. But yet, you were agreeing with Plushenko that Dennis Ten should've won. Just curious.

Carroll was the coach? He said the nonsense about "figure jumping." he tried to give Ten Lysaceks exact same technical layout but it became impossible to succeed with! Quads did not mean figure jumping but just being a part of the jumps like 3a needed to succeed.
You can still medal without the quad. If Ten had done another jump other than a quad in his fs at worlds, he still would have won the silver medal over Javier.
Jenny and Dave posted a teaser of their interview with Frank, and they're asking him some pretty pointed questions about Chanflation, Tiffany Chin's mom and Chris Bowman's drug addiction.
Heavy stuff. I'm so interested to hear his answers. Frank has always kept things relatively close to the vest, so I wonder how candid he'll be in this interview.
Interview goes up on April 14th!
Plushenko had wonky jump landings, no transitions leading into or out of his jumps in his free skate. He lost massive points that he could have had with better choreography. I also agree that Takahashi was the most complete skater, but his missing his quad lost him the five-ring gold. Lysack won because he did not screw up his planned programs, which included plenty of transitions, excellent footwork and outstanding choreography that served his skating style very well.
To piss and moan about him winning (regardless of what jumps he did or didn't do) this near to the next Olympics is like peeing in the wind. No one cares unless they get hit in the face by it. That's what you get off on imho. You love to bring your warped sense of what skating should be in your mind to bare on everyone else, thus spreading your unhappiness, and in the process you feel better about yourself. I think you need to get a life. That's my opinion. Take it or leave it as you wish!
There is nothing more captivating in this world than a woman's form gracing the ice in skating boots. It's simply sensational!
You're just wrong about the jump landings. There wasn't anything wrong With the landings. No step outs, two foots, urs, etc. Nothing wrong with the landings. Plushenko did Do things between his technical elements! His program was not empty of things between elements.
My "warped sense of what skating should be" is going on right now. At 2011, 2012 and 2013 worlds that's my view of what men's skating should be. All the medalists are doing everything. It's not warped it's the reality that was possible in Vancouver but extreme ultraconservatism because of the brutal quad rules and too many points available elsewhere made so many skaters play it safe and ruin the progress set in motion at the 1998 ; 2002 and 2006 Olympics and worlds from 1997 to 2007! Now everything is back to normal! And men's skating is exactly where it should be!! 2010 was awful garbage hurting takahashi the most! The men's discipline is not "complete" without quads and thinking they should matter is not figure jumping or a jump contest. It's what is going on right now!! "warped" no - reality now - yes!
And yet, you were very unhappy with the 2013 World Championships results.
Listen, I know you're unhappy with the way things went at the 2010 Olympics, but trolling various internet articles, posts, etc. that mention Lysaceck is certainly unhealthy. Lysaceck, like Chan in at this past Worlds, won with the rules that governed the competition. No amount of posts you make will change that.
I understand debating the results and talking about "what ifs" is a huge part of being a sports fan. A big chunk of many posters' time on this forum is dedicated to debate. However, there is a time where it becomes unhealthy (like when you have nothing but hate to spew). I think you'd be much happier if you just let it go.
Can't wait! I love Jenny and Dave's interviews, and Frank has always fascinated me. I went to the practice sessions at the LA Worlds and loved to watch his expressions at the boards. He is obviously a very complex person with a rich history in the figure skating world. This should be a great interview.
I agree about the 'what if' game? What would the 2010 Olympic results have been if Plushenko had done 12 jump elements instead of 11? Lysacek completed 12 jump elements, Plushenko did 11 jump elements. Plushenko lost by less than two points. Had Plushenko added one double jump, he could have made up the point deficit.


text: The skater who came 5th in the short program in Lake Placid behind Lenz was Dagmar Lurz who is a poor free skater with very weak "skating skills". She did a harder combo than Poetzsch but she also didnt do a triple combo. Sandy Lenz is the only one who came lower who probably should have been placed higher, but she was the 3rd American and nobody had ever heard of her, so it wasnt ever going to happen realistically. Watanabe had a major error in her program.

5 Disturbing Movie Disappearances!!!
Mama, the Guillermo del Toro-produced horror thriller, hits theaters on Friday, January 18th. The film deals with two missing girls who return to society after five years of living in the wilderness.
Keeping the central conceit of Mama in mind, I decided to compile a list of movies that featured interesting disappearances (and, in most cases, reappearances). Originally I wanted to make this about "real life people who disappeared and then came back." Whoops! In real life, if you go missing you're probably dead. So we're going with the movie version! Always better!

What the "Experts" Are Getting Wrong
"A-Rod is old and getting worse, but Pablo Sandoval has no right to go ahead of him in drafts. You've got a guy with the anti-midus touch and a guy with the Nutty Professor touch off the field, but disregard that for a sec. Kung Fu Panda has never driven in more than 90 runs, hit more than 25 home runs, or scored more than 80 runs in a season. A-Rod did it for 12 years in a row before last year. CBS, ESPN, Yahoo all seem to think that Sandoval is better anyway. Look, I know he's old, you don't like him, and you don't want him on your team. All I'm saying is don't pick Kung Fu Panda over him."

Loading... Fallenby Lauren Kate
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. It was Stephanie Meyer meets Nicholas Sparks. It was full of cliches and cheesy lines but overall it was okay. Too much love for me that it just doesn't make sense. Luce is such a desperate girl. She doesn't even give guys a hard time, she's so EASY! Why do women authors have lousy women characters? They're always desperate, dependent and stupid. There are so many questions unanswered thus you have to read "Torment". I probably read the next one. If you want a very easy, non-substantial read then read this one. Not exaaaactly looking forward to this, but doing it just for the comparison. I need to know if it's as bad as Twilight. Fallen Series by Lauren Kate I read this series over a weekend. It consists of four novels in this order: Fallen, Torment, Passion, and Rapture. We have them on Overdrive. Luce went out with a guy one night and he somehow ended up dead, so Luce has to attend a school for kids who are in trouble. She meets some interesting teens here and is drawn to two of them: Daniel and Cam. Cam is very friendly and seems to go out of his way to help her while Daniel scowls at her. The other teens are all very different. Luce and Daniel are drawn to each other, almost supernaturally. She finally figures out that he is an angel who fell from Heaven but he didn't choose Lucifer. Luce is part of a curse passed down for many millennia. She and Daniel fall in love every 17 years and then she dies, only to be reborn to fall in love with him again and die. The series follows this final love as she doesn't die. What is different from the last 7000 years? Can they break the curse? The novels eventually encompass the time from the fall of the angels to the present. I liked the first book a lot and found it to be a page-turner. As the series progressed, I was less enthralled. I don't usually like books about angels who choose man and earth over God and Heaven. One could also look at the book as an homage to free will and love that was given to angels and mankind. It's an interesting argument that may pique your interest. This book would have earned 4 stars but for the ending, which was not an ending at all, but rather a build-up to the next book in the series. The ending didn't answer the questions that had been building throughout the book, but instead, dumped more on, leaving me ultimately unsatisfied. Not unsatisfied in the manner of "Wow, I want to know what happens next" but rather "Really? You call that an ending?" Other than that, the book was an enjoyable read, which made the ending even more disappointing. If the ending had wrapped up some threads, I probably would have continued on to the next book. As it is, I won't be reading the rest of the series, since I wouldn't want to have a repeat of this frustration at the end of the next book.
Many elements are not resolved, such as the cause of the fire and why angels are at this school. Still, fans of supernatural romance will be lining up for this book despite its flaws, and begging for a sequel. Is contained inIs abridged in
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (3)Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385739133, Paperback)There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move. Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce--and goes out of his way to make that very clear--she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her. Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen is a page turning thriller and the ultimate love story. From the Hardcover edition. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:18:35 -0400) Suspected in the death of her boyfriend, seventeen-year-old Luce is sent to a Savannah, Georgia, reform school where she meets two intriguing boys and learns the truth about the strange shadows that have always haunted her. |

< Return To Hearing
Thomas L. GowenMay 19, 2009
IMPROVING ACCESS TO JUSTICE WHEN IMPORTED PRODUCTS CAUSE HARM IN THE UNITED STATES My name is Thomas L. Gowen. I am an attorney with the Locks Law Firm in Philadelphia. I am a graduate of Haverford College and Villanova University School of Law. In the course of my 30 years in practice, representing people in various contexts in the legal system, a recurring problem has arisen which I would like to address for your consideration this morning. The problem of dangerous and defective products imported into the United States has raised sufficient concern that President Bush appointed an Interagency Working Group on Import Safety which reported to the President in November of 2007. The Committee, chaired by Secretary Leavitt recognized the magnitude of the problem and recommended that "all actors involved in the production, distribution and sale of imports must be held accountable for meeting their obligations to ensure that imported products meet safety standards in the United States." Background As the American economy has increasingly become a service, finance and retail oriented economy, the quantity of manufactured goods that we import has increased exponentially. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States imported $2.6 trillion worth of goods in 2006. Forty percent of all consumer products imported into the United States or about $200 billion worth in 2006 came from China. Whether these imports are items like automobiles, electronic products, tools, tires, bicycles, recreational products, toys, food, medical devices, fireworks, cosmetics or drugs, they have the potential to cause harm to American consumers as a result of negligent design, manufacture, marketing or sale. Many have already caused harm in this country. Chinese fireworks were responsible for the deaths of three young men in South Carolina and the serious injury of a Pennsylvania man running the fireworks show in Annapolis Maryland and defective tires have caused injury and death in multiple states. During the past two years we have become aware of the sale in the American market of dangerous toys like , "Aqua Dots," a children's toy that was coated with a chemical similar to the date rape drug GHB, trains painted with lead paint, defectively designed or manufactured heparin, defective wall board, de-treading automobile tires and toothpaste containing an ingredient of antifreeze. What all of these products have had in common is that they were made by foreign manufacturers and sold in the American market in numerous states. Serious injuries and deaths have occurred in the United States as a result of the use of these and other products which were purchased from American retailers. This phenomenon has captured the attention of the news media on a regular basis recently, but it is hardly new. What also is not new is that foreign manufacturers enthusiastically seek access to the American market but assiduously seek to avoid responsibility and accountability in American courts for injuries caused by their products. At the same time, some American retailers claim that they should be protected from liability because the defective design or manufacture was the fault of a foreign company, despite the fact that this foreign company may not be identifiable or reachable by the injured American consumer. The Problem: Identification, Service of Process, Personal Jurisdiction and Collection The same manufacturers who enthusiastically enter contracts to sell their goods, often through distributors or large retailers, resist accountability in our courts. Their ability to do so arises in several contexts. Initially, they take advantage of the rules regarding the service of process. Approximately 70 countries in the world, including the United States, have signed the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extra Judicial Documents in Civil and Commercial Matters. Many others have not. For those that have, the process of bringing them to answer in a federal or state court where their product has caused injury is cumbersome, expensive and slow. A complaint must be translated into the foreign language, transmitted to the Central Authority in the foreign country, and then delivered according to the rules of service in the home country of the defendant. In a case that I handled recently, it took approximately three months to obtain service on a large corporation in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after the complaint was directed to the central authority there for service after compliance with all of the requirements of the Hague Convention. A significant problem arises in the import of products in that even the retailer or distributor is often not able to identify the company that manufactured the product once it has determined the country of origin. That was a problem in two foreign product cases that I handled and I understand that it is also a problem with the Chinese wall board that the next witness will address. The exercise device I describe below said, "Made in China" on it but the retailer was not able to trace it farther back than the importer in the United States. When a company can be identified and service is obtained, the foreign company will further delay and encumber the process by filing a response by special appearance asking the court to dismiss the claim on the grounds that the company has not established sufficient minimum contacts with the forum state by placing its product in the stream of commerce such that it reached the state in question. The defendant claims that it has not acted purposefully toward the forum state despite the fact that it has derived significant profits from sales in that state and others. The availability of this defense amply demonstrates that our system of justice has not changed to match the vast changes in our system of commerce. Unfortunately, the plurality opinion in the Asahi Metal Industry case from the Supreme Court has been used to create cumbersome and expensive litigation to avoid the day of reckoning in an American courtroom for the manufacturers of dangerous foreign products. The Supreme Court has established the minimum contacts test through a series of cases familiar to most lawyers from first year civil procedure. International Shoe, Hanson v. Denckla, Worldwide Volkswagen and Burger King v. Rudzewicz, established various tests for the minimum contacts necessary to establish personal jurisdiction in the federal courts consistent with the Due Process clause such that, in the language of the Court, maintenance of the suit will not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. These decisions have generally been followed by state long arm statutes establishing jurisdiction as far as constitutionally permissible. In 1987 the Supreme Court decided the Asahi Metal case with plurality opinions having distinctly different approaches by Justice O'Connor and Justice Brennan. It is important to note that this case involved a claim for indemnity between a Japanese tire manufacturer and a Taiwanese valve manufacturer after the product liability case on behalf of the California residents had been settled. Thus, California no longer had a strong interest in providing a forum for one of its citizens and the remaining claim was between two foreign nationals. Nevertheless, Justice O'Connor wrote that the placement of a product in the stream of commerce, without more, is not an act of the defendant purposefully directed toward the forum State. She wrote, "Additional conduct of the defendant may indicate an intent or purpose to serve the market in the forum State, for example, designing the product for the market in the forum State, advertising in the forum State, establishing channels for providing regular advice to customers in the forum State, or marketing the product through a distributor who has agreed to serve as the sales agent in the forum State." On the other hand, Justice Brennan wrote, "The stream of commerce refers not to unpredictable currents or eddies, but to the regular and anticipated flow of products from manufacturer to distribution to retail sale. As long as the participant in this process is aware that the final product is being marketed in the forum State, the possibility of a lawsuit there cannot come as a surprise." Important for the matters under consideration today, Justice O'Connor's opinion did note that the Court in Asahi had no occasion in that case "to determine whether Congress could, consistent with the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment authorize federal court personal jurisdiction over alien defendants based on the aggregate of national contacts rather than on the contacts between the defendant and the State where the federal court sits." Specific Examples I have dealt with this problem recently in the case of an experienced Maryland auto mechanic who was installing new tires on a pick-up truck for one of his customers when one of the tires exploded and shattered his arm, among other injuries. Expert analysis revealed that the tire had not been properly inspected and had a defective bead which rendered the tire unable to hold even normal tire pressure. The tire bore the markings of Fate S.A.I.C.I. and had been purchased through a major tire wholesaler and retailer in Maryland. Internet research revealed that Fate S.A.I.C.I. was the largest tire manufacturer in Argentina. Its official website stated that exports accounted for two thirds of total production and are destined for markets in Europe and the United States. Further research revealed that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had assigned a plant code to Fate's San Fernando, Argentina, plant which allowed it to carry the DOT code on its sidewall. An affidavit attached to the motion to dismiss the complaint admitted that Fate had shipped 8,684 tires from Argentina through the Port of Baltimore as of the date of the injury and that Fate had received $194, 204 for tires shipped through Baltimore. Baltimore was not the only port into which Fate shipped tires with 806,756 tires worth $19 million dollars being shipped into the US through east coast ports, in particular Miami and Jacksonville, Florida. Fate raised all of the arguments that foreign companies do, that it was not incorporated in Maryland, that it had no office there, that it did not make tires specifically for the Maryland market and therefore it claimed that it did not purposely avail itself of the Maryland market. It contended that a mere 8,684 tires imported through the Port of Baltimore should not be sufficient to establish minimum contacts with that state even though it created the likelihood that between 2,000 and 4,000 cars or light trucks would be driving in the State of Maryland on these tires. The same claims are currently being raised by the Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Company, Ltd. in a death case in court in Pennsylvania even though it was required to recall 450,000 tires after numerous tires detreaded, causing serious personal injury and death. Hangzhou, through its chairman's affidavit, asserts that it does not make tires for the Pennsylvania market, that it does not conduct business in the state, that it does not have offices there, it is not registered to do business there, and that it does not directly market or sell tires in Pennsylvania. However, it does acknowledge that it has a contract with a large distributor, Foreign Tire Services, an American company, as its exclusive distributor in the United States. The defendant claims that it would be unfair to apply American law to cases involving harm caused by its products because it claims that merely placing products into the stream of commerce without more is not sufficient for jurisdiction to attach. Presently it is arguing on appeal in the Pennsylvania Superior Court that it should not be compelled to answer discovery requests that would address the issue of the amount of contact it had with the Commonwealth on the grounds that this information is confidential. The Supreme Court of New Jersey is presently considering a case in which a British manufacturer of large scrap shears for use in the scrap industry is claiming that it intended only to sell its products in the United States --not in New Jersey. Every time we allow this argument we allow these manufacturers to foist a fiction upon our courts. A company cannot design, manufacturer or sell a product into the American market without selling it into one of the fifty states or the District of Columbia. In the New Jersey case the foreign manufacturer attended industry trade shows in Las Vegas and had an exclusive national distributor located in Ohio but is resisting jurisdiction of the New Jersey courts where its product caused serious injury based on the fiction that it was selling only to the American market not to the market in one of the states. Justice Brennan more accurately understood the nature of commerce in foreign products in this country when he said that the stream of commerce refers not to unpredictable eddies but to the regular and anticipated flow of product from manufacturer to consumer in any of the fifty states when it is sold into the American market. I represented a young boy who was riding a "Free Spirit" bicycle when the front tire came off, causing him to fall over the handlebars onto the macadam roadway onto his face. The product had no markings that would identify its manufacturer. The young man's father knew that he had purchased it at Sears and investigation determined that "Free Spirit" was a Sears brand name for multiple lines of bicycles which were made by Link CBC in Hong Kong for Sears. The director of product safety for Sears was deposed in the case and he testified that Sears did not inspect or test these bicycles although they sold millions of them under the "Free Spirit" name. He testified that Sears relied on the manufacturer for the design, specifications and testing. Sears assumed that the manufacturer would comply with any applicable governmental standards, but had none of its own. In this case, the plaintiff was dependent upon Sears to join the manufacturer in the case or, at a minimum, to timely provide sufficient information to enable the plaintiff to join, and serve the manufacturer, assuming that the statute of limitations had not run by the time such information was provided and leave of court to amend a complaint was obtained. Then the plaintiff would have to deal with the inevitable claim that the manufacturer did not have sufficient contacts with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania such that it should be haled into court in Pennsylvania to answer for the harm caused by its product. It is important to note that the exposure of American companies to tort judgments in product liability cases would be reduced by reforming the system to make it easier to serve, litigate with, and collect judgments from the foreign manufacturers whose defective products gave rise to cases such as these. Doing so would also give foreign companies greater incentives to achieve higher standards of safety in the design and manufacture of their products destined for sale in this country. I also represented a woman who saw an advertisement in the Norristown Times Herald in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, that had been placed by Hanover House, a large mail order marketer, which offered an "Easy Pull Stomach Trimmer" (See attached copy of ad). The ad portrayed a woman doing sit-ups with the device which consisted of a heavy spring extended between foot pedals at the bottom in which to place the feet, and a handle at the top. My client, a 44 year old woman, purchased the "Easy Pull Stomach Trimmer" by responding to this ad, in order to tone and tighten her abdominal muscles in anticipation of wearing a bathing suit during the summer season. The ad promised a "slimmer, younger look in 2 weeks... guaranteed." She had had some prior back pain and would not have used any device that would stress the back. After she did 100 sit-ups with it for several days, she felt a pop and severe pain in the lower back. She had ruptured a disc at L5-S1 and damaged the disc at L4-L5, requiring surgical excision of the disc and 10 epidural nerve blocks. Upon submission of the device to an expert in exercise physiology it was learned that the "Easy Pull Stomach Trimmer" did nothing whatsoever to stress or tone the muscles of the abdomen but rather heavily loaded the erector spinae muscles and spinal ligaments while placing excessive loads on the lumbar discs in the course of performing the exercises portrayed in the package insert. This device was marketed to the American public by Hanover House which purchased 1,985,000 of these units from seven different distributors who purchased them from an unnamed manufacturer in China. There were numerous claims involving lower back injuries and of injuries to the face when the pedals slipped off the feet of the users while the spring was extended. In this case it was essential to hold the retailer and appropriate wholesaler in the case, as the manufacturer could not be more clearly identified than one of several Chinese companies, based on the "Made in China" designation on the pedal. Again, the retailer replied in discovery that it relied on the manufacturer for safety analysis of the product and neither the retailer nor its advertising agency did anything to verify the claims made for the usefulness of the product. Needless to say no one created warnings that would have alerted people with any concern for their lower back that they should never use this product. In this case it was necessary to hold the retailer responsible for the sale of a defective product as even it could not identify the manufacturer of the product. The culpable manufacturer was able to escape responsibility. Fireworks have been the source of severe injury and death in the United States. Chinese manufactured fireworks killed three young warehouse men in South Carolina and seriously injured a Pennsylvania man setting up the fireworks show in Annapolis. In the case brought in Pennsylvania the manufacturer ignored the jurisdiction of the court and has continued to ignore the entry of a $4 million judgment against it, even raising the defense of sovereign immunity on the ground that the parent company is partially owned by the Chinese government. Solution This testimony has described the problems with joinder of foreign manufacturers in several contexts--first in which the foreign manufacturer can be identified by product name, second, in which the manufacturer cannot be identified by product name but could be identified by the retailer and a third category where even the retailer could not identify the exporter of the product which was sold in the US by various resellers. All products caused injury to American citizens who purchased the products through retailers in their respective states. All foreign defendants, except the unidentified ones, required that the plaintiffs clear multiple hurdles to obtain service and then sought dismissal of the case on grounds that they did not have sufficient contacts with the forum state. No doubt they would have contended that they did not have sufficient contacts with any of the fifty states on the same basis had alternative jurisdictions been sought. The problem with increasing the necessary accountability of foreign manufacturers through our justice system and at the same leveling the playing field for American business has several components. The identification of the manufacturer, the efficient service of process on the company, the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts, the reasonable conduct of the litigation in the United States, and the collectability of judgments rendered by our courts. In practical terms, I suggest for the consideration of this Committee and the Congress that establishing an import license for all foreign manufacturers and sellers who seek to sell their products in the United States could address all of these problems. The license should require the name. address, product lines and brand names made by the company. It should require the exporter to the US to have an agent for service of process in all states in which the product is to be sold. It should require a seller, in order to avail itself of the privilege of accessing American markets, to consent to the jurisdiction of the American courts in the states where there products cause injury. Finally, the import license should require that the foreign company have adequate product liability insurance in the United States to cover foreseeable claims. The information contained on the license should be reportable to the Consumer Product Safety Commission and posted on a searchable website maintained by the Commission. Finally, any foreign company that defaults on a judgment from an American Court should lose its license to sell in this country until such judgment is satisfied. By providing a means to encourage the payment of judgments The Interagency Working Group on Import Safety issued a report to the President in November of 2007 recommending a strategic framework for dealing with dangerous and defective foreign products based upon the principles of prevention, intervention and response. It recommended the creation and strengthening of existing safety standards and that product safety become an important principle of our diplomatic relationships with foreign countries. The Commission recommended the adoption of import certification with strong penalties for bad actors. The civil justice system is an important and available tool for protecting and compensating our citizens as well as for improving safety. A system of certification through an import license carrying the requirements recommended above would strengthen our response system through our courts and provide considerable incentive to foreign manufacturers to improve their design and manufacturing practices so that their products do not become the source of serious injury and death among the American public. Making the licensing information publicly available through an official website would help to connect the manufacturers to the products in questions and assure that they could be held accountable for harm caused in this country. It would also serve to put foreign companies on equal footing with American companies and even enable American companies to shift the appropriate share of economic damage caused by defective products to their foreign manufacturers. I thank the Committee for its attention to this matter which is of great importance to many Americans. Adoption of a licensing system such as that described above would help to bring accountability to foreign manufacturers and to level the playing field for American companies who already must answer for defective products they make without the benefit of the numerous procedural hurdles raised by foreign defendants who are supplying an increasingly large and rapidly growing percentage of the consumer goods purchased in this country.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Scientists and the fishing industry know the deep sea is teeming with life and are slowly discovering ecosystems that are extraordinary in nature, often hosting species found nowhere else on the planet. Scientists have speculated that more than 10 million species may inhabit the deep sea; biodiversity comparable to the world's richest tropical rainforests.
Recent advances in bottom trawl technology make it possible to fish the deep sea's rugged floors, mountain peaks and canyons. Stronger engines, bigger nets, more precise mapping and advanced navigational and fish-finding electronics have enabled fishing vessels to drag fishing gear across the ocean's floor as far as 1.2 miles (two kilometers) deep. As a result, fragile deep-sea habitats, which have taken centuries to grow and thrive, are destroyed in hours.
The deep sea of the North Atlantic is the most heavily bottom trawled area of the high seas in the world, exploited mainly by the fishing fleets of the European Union (EU). Pew, a member of the global Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, is calling on the EU and other nations fishing the North Atlantic to protect the unknown worlds of the deep sea or stop deep sea bottom fishing altogether.
Nov 20, 2013 - In this report, we investigate an area of growing concern for these birds: how declines in populations of forage fish in Florida's coastal waters could exacerbate declines of seabirds, wading birds, and other fish-eating birds, particularly species of conservation concern such as Least Terns and Black Skimmers.

Pioneer ACOs Seen Defecting to MSSP Program
At least four of the 32 Pioneer ACOs are in the process of notifying their providers that they intend to shift to the Medicare Shared Savings Program, and up to five more could follow. "They've learned that they probably won't be successful, so they want to move into a no-risk environment," says one observer.
Map of Pioneer ACO models |
At least four accountable care organizations are in the process of notifying their providers that they intend to move out of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Pioneer ACO program and into the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
As many as nine of the 32 Pioneer ACOs may eventually shift, but only four are known to be actively pursuing a change now. They have until July 15 to notify CMS of their intentions.
CMS declined to identify the departing Pioneer ACOs, but released this statement: "Each of these organizations made its decision based on its particular business priorities and concerns. We're encouraged that these systems want to continue in these programs that promote better care at lower costs. We fully anticipated that as these programs get up and running, some systems would shift between models."
The Pioneer program was developed as an alternative to the MSSP after organizations experienced with coordinating patient care and managing risk complained that the MSSP program was too stringent in its design.
The initial commitment to the Pioneer program is three years. The program is in its second year. By design, the first two years of the Pioneer model are a shared savings payment arrangement. In the third year, according to the CMS program description, "those organizations that have shown a certain minimum amount of savings over the first two years will be eligible to make a transition away from fee-for-service payment to population-based payment and full risk arrangements."

Listen: That Kanye West/Raekwon/Justin Bieber Remix
By Ryan Dombal on August 30, 2010 at 11:15 a.m.
The Twitter-born remix of Justin Bieber's "Runaway Love" featuring Raekwon and Kanye West is here-- listen to it at Hip Hop Connection. (Read about how this unlikely group got together here.)
The redo is basically Bieber's "Runaway Love" vocals over Wu-Tang's "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothing ta Fuck Wit", along with new verses from Rae and Kanye. On it, Kanye raps, "Listen to Wu-Tang, tryin' suits on, accouterments is Grey Poupon." The Internet is an interesting place.
Watch the classic video for the original "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothing ta Fuck Wit" below:
The Kanye West/Raekwon/Justin Bieber Remix Is Actually Happening
By Tom Breihan on August 19, 2010 at 11:10 a.m.
Twitter is an amazing thing. Kanye West only joined the microblogging service a few weeks ago, but he's already figured out a way to use it for maximum brain-melting potential. For example: over just a few days, Kanye has taken a perfectly ridiculous half-baked idea-- doing a song with mop-topped teen idol Justin Bieber and Wu-Tang mic slayer Raekwon-- and turned it into a reality. Apparently, at the moment, Kanye and Raekwon are actually at work on a remix of Bieber's "Runaway Love".

T.I., Raekwon Release New Mixtapes
By Tom Breihan on May 28, 2010 at 01:10 p.m.
Big day for mixtapes on the internet. First, there's the adorably titled Fuck a Mixtape, the new effort from Atlanta rap monarch T.I., who came home from prison just a few months ago. Tip did this one with longtime collaborator DJ Drama and DJ MLK and it includes production from big names like Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, and DJ Toomp, as well as collaborations with Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Keri Hilson, and Killer Mike. Get it from Nah Right; tracklist below.
T.I. also recently posted two new studio tracks on his website: "Got Your Back" featuring Keri Hilson and "Yeah Ya Know (Takers)".
Raekwon also released his Cocainism Vol. 2 tape. It's got production from the Alchemist and features from Mobb Deep and N.O.R.E. There's also a song called "Piss in the Shark Tank", and if that doesn't sell you, I don't know what will. That one's also available from Nah Right, and the tracklist is also below.
Take Cover: Method Man/Ghostface Killah/Raekwon: Wu-Massacre
By Tom Breihan on April 12, 2010 at 12:00 a.m.
Notable album covers catch the eye, dribble it around a little, and then snap it back into place, forever skewed. They can be funny, gross, shocking, stunning, or just plain wrong. They can define artists. With Take Cover, we aim to track down the most striking new album covers taking up web space and vinyl bins and get the story behind them.
In this installment, we check in with comic book artist Chris Bachalo (Sandman, Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man) and Def Jam designer Alex Haldi. Bachalo and Haldi are the two men responsible for the comic book-style artwork for the Method Man/Ghostface Killah/Raekwon collaborative album Wu-Massacre. The album cover is comprised of pieces of three variant covers, one for each rapper. Bachalo and Haldi imagined the three Wu-Tang Clan members as hyper-violent comic book anti-heroes, each with his own backstory and superpowers. We dork out with Bachalo and Haldi below.
Video: Raekwon/Ghostface Killah/Method Man: "Our Dreams"
By Tom Breihan on March 23, 2010 at 01:10 p.m.
The Raekwon/Ghostface Killah/Method Man collaborative track "Our Dreams" (from the Wu-Tang all-star trio's Wu-Massacre album, out next week) is a sweet, striving mid-tempo jam with a Michael Jackson sample that must've been expensive.
For whatever reason, director Rik Cordero gave the song a video that's halfway between Se7en and a fifth-rate 70s cop movie. And the three MCs never appear onscreen together. Weird choices, Rik Cordero!

Ghostface/Raekwon/Method Man Album Actually Coming Out
By Tom Breihan on February 22, 2010 at 01:50 p.m.
UPDATE: The folks responsible for that awesome cover are veteran comic book artist Chris Bachalo and art designer and director Alex Haldi.
Wu-Massacre, the collaborative album between Wu-Tang Clan members Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Method Man, has seen its release date pushed back a ton of times since last year, and it was starting to seem like we'd never get to hear the thing, especially with Meth facing tax-evasion charges.But hey, looks like this thing is really coming out now! Wu-Massacre now has a firm release date, a tentative tracklist, and some ridiculously awesome comic-book-inspired cover art, as you can see above.
The album is set for a March 30 release from Def Jam. Wu guys RZA and Mathematics contribute production. Wu-Tang members Inspectah Deck and Cappadonna make appearances, as do associates like Streetlife, Solomon Childs, Trife, and Sun God. The live band Rhythm Roots Allstars plays on a few tracks, and Ghostface buddy Tracy Morgan shows up on a skit.
Check below for the tentative tracklist, and click here and here for our reviews of album tracks "Mef vs. Chef" and "Our Dreams", respectively. Click here to hear "Our Dreams".
New Raekwon/Ghostface/Method Man: "Our Dreams"
By Tom Breihan on January 21, 2010 at 09:35 a.m.
Raekwon is such a nice guy! When someone leaks one of his songs, he doesn't get mad. Instead, he links to the leak on his Twitter. Or, in any case, that's what happened yesterday. A blog called the Best of Both Worlds posted the new Raekwon/Method Man/Ghostface track "Our Dreams", and Rae linked the track on his Twitter. Go here to hear it.

Summary of G and PG Movies | FactMonster.comThe Legend of Rita (Die Stille nach dem Schuß)
Description: The story opens in the early 1970s, at the height of the Cold War, as West German revolutionaries-in-love rob banks, hop continents on the lam, and try to reconcile their left-wing ideals with the less glamorous realities of their daily lives. Rita ends up in the East German equivalent of a witness protection program living out her "legend" (false identity) as a typical socialist worker. Now the year is 1989. The Berlin Wall is about to fall. Will Rita's world fall too?
