This deeply researched and informative book traces the biographies of thirty "typical" perpetrators of the Holocaust—some well known, some obscure—who survived World War II. Donald M. McKale reveals the shocking reality that the perpetrators were only rarely, if ever, tried or punished for their crimes, and nearly all alleged their innocence in Germany's extermination of nearly six million European Jews during the war. He highlights the bitter contrasts between the comfortable postwar lives of many war criminals and the enduring suffering of their victims.The author shows how immediately after the war's end in 1945, Hitler's minions, whether the few placed on trial or the many living in freedom, carried on what amounted to a massive postwar ideological campaign against Jews. To be sure, the perpetrators didn't challenge the fact that the Holocaust happened. But in the face of exhaustive evidence showing their culpability, nearly all declared they had done nothing wrong, they had not known about the Jewish persecution until the war's end, and they had little or no responsibility or guilt for what had happened. In making these and other claims denying their involvement in the Holocaust, they defended the Nazi atrocities and anti-Semitism. Nearly every fabrication of these war criminals found its way into the mythology of postwar Holocaust deniers, who have used them, in one form or another, to buttress the deniers' biggest lie—that the Holocaust did not happen. The perpetrators, therefore, helped advance Holocaust denial without having denied the Holocaust happened.Written in a compelling narrative style, Nazis after Hitler is the first to provide an overview of the lives of Nazis who survived the war, the vast majority of whom escaped justice. McKale provides a unique and accessible synthesis of the extensive research on the Holocaust and Nazi war criminals that will be invaluable for all readers interested in World War II.

Nothing Wash. Times says about Kagan's views on the First Amendment is true
Research ››› ››› ADAM SHAH
A Washington Times editorial advanced numerous falsehoods in order to paint Elena Kagan as anti-free speech, including the false claim that Kagan has argued that the government could ban pamphlets such as Thomas Paine's Common Sense.
Kagan has not argued that the government can ban pamphlets like Common Sense
Wash. Times falsely claims that Kagan's First Amendment work "suggests she might restrict Thomas Paine, circa 1776, from distributing his famous pamphlet." From a May 18 Washington Times editorial:
Would Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan outlaw "Common Sense"? Ms. Kagan's work on First Amendment free-speech issues suggests she might restrict Thomas Paine, circa 1776, from distributing his famous pamphlet. Solicitor General Kagan likewise might outlaw "The Federalist Papers" if Founding Fathers James Madison and Alexander Hamilton refused to say who paid to publish their essays. These views on the First Amendment are troubling enough to raise serious doubts as to whether the Senate should confirm her for the high court.
In her Supreme Court oral arguments in the corporate-speech case of Citizens United v. FEC, Ms. Kagan hedged on whether government could ban corporate-funded political books. But she did say that "a pamphlet would be different. A pamphlet is pretty classic electioneering," and thus subject to campaign restrictions. So sorry, Mr. Madison.
Kagan actually argued that the government could restrict corporate pamphlets that advocated for the election or defeat of a candidate. The statute at issue in Citizens United v. FEC banned corporations and labor unions from making "a contribution or expenditure in connection with any election at which presidential and vice presidential electors or a Senator or Representative in, or a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, Congress are to be voted for, or in connection with any primary election or political convention or caucus held to select candidates for any of the foregoing offices." It did not bar individuals from making any contributions or expenditures and, due to regulations passed by the Federal Election Commission in response to a prior Supreme Court ruling that Congress could not constitutionally limit expenditures that did not expressly advocate for the election or defeat of a statute, did not ban corporations from making contributions or expenditures unless, in the words of the regulation, "the communication is susceptible of no reasonable interpretation other than as an appeal to vote for or against a clearly identified Federal candidate."
Neither Common Sense nor the Federalist Papers argued for the election or defeat of a candidate. Common Sense argues in favor of the American Revolution, against the British monarchy, and in favor a new system of government for the newly-independent colonies. The Federalist Papers argue for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Neither argues for or against a candidate for electoral office.
As Wash. Times itself acknowledges, "it isn't always fair to ascribe personally to solicitors general the positions they argue."Pamela Harris, the head of Georgetown University's Supreme Court Institute, has said, "I don't think you can read almost anything" into the personal views of a solicitor general based on her representation of the United States. Lincoln Caplan, an expert on solicitors general, recently told The Washington Post, "It's a mistake to assume that every argument an SG makes on behalf of the government reflects her personal legal philosophy." Indeed, the Times editorial itself acknowledges that "it isn't always fair to ascribe personally to solicitors general the positions they argue in court on the government's behalf." However, the Times adds: "it is fair if the arguments they use in court echo ones they made in private practice," and then proceeds to distort Kagan's scholarly articles on the First Amendment.
The Supreme Court agrees with Kagan's statement that the government can restrict some categories of speech
Wash. Times suggests that Kagan's statement that categories of speech can be restricted is controversial. From the Times editorial:
In the government's brief in a case called United States v. Stevens, Ms. Kagan elaborated: "Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs." Whoa, Nellie, who -- pray tell -- does the balancing? Judges? Bureaucrats? The Almighty President?
In fact, the Supreme Court has long held that some categories of speech -- such as child pornography -- can be restricted orbanned because their potential for harm outweighs their societal value. In the brief the Times cites, Kagan notes that the Supreme Court has banned entire categories of speech -- including fighting words and child pornography. Indeed, in a case approving a statute banning child pornography, the Supreme Court majority stated: "[I]t is not rare that a content-based classification of speech has been accepted because it may be appropriately generalized that within the confines of the given classification, the evil to be restricted so overwhelmingly outweighs the expressive interests, if any, at stake, that no process of case-by-case adjudication is required." From Kagan's brief:
To determine whether a certain class of speech enjoys First Amendment protection, this Court has performed a categorical balancing analysis, comparing the expressive value of the speech with its societal costs. Where the First Amendment value of the speech is "clearly outweighed" by its societal costs, the speech may be prohibited based on its content. Chaplinsky, 315 U.S. at 572. Case-by-case adjudication is not required, because "it may be appropriately generalized that * * * the evil to be restricted so overwhelmingly outweighs the expressive interests, if any, at stake" that the entire category may be prohibited. Ferber, 458 U.S. at 763-764.
The Court first enunciated that approach in Chaplinsky, where it explained that "fighting words" may be regulated consistent with the First Amendment because they have no or minimal expressive value and "by their very utterance inflict injury." 315 U.S. at 572. Subsequently, in Roth, the Court relied on the Chaplinsky balancing test in determining that obscene speech does not enjoy First Amendment protection. The Court there explained that material which "deals with sex in a manner appealing to [the] prurient interest" utilizes a mode of expression that is "utterly without redeeming social importance." 354 U.S. at 484, 487; see Miller, 413 U.S. at 20-21, 34-35 (also relying on Chaplinsky). In Ferber, the Court conducted a similar analysis, explaining that child pornography lacks First Amendment protection because the "balance" of "the expressive interests, if any, at stake" and "the evil to be restricted" "is clearly struck" in favor of regulation. 458 U.S. at 763-764.
Kagan was not arguing that the First Amendment allows government to "redistribute" speech
Wash. Times falsely suggests that Kagan argued that government could "redistribute" or "unskew" speech. From the Times editorial:
While it isn't always fair to ascribe personally to solicitors general the positions they argue in court on the government's behalf, it is fair if the arguments they use in court echo ones they made in private practice. Ms. Kagan's record suggests her personal views match her solicitor arguments. In a 1996 University of Chicago Law Review article, she argued that speech restrictions are allowable if the government's "motive" is acceptably nonideological. In dense academic prose, Ms. Kagan openly mused about the merits of "redistribution of expression," of "neutral regulations of speech ... that are justified in terms of achieving diversity" and of "disfavoring [an] idea [to] 'unskew,' rather than skew, public discourse."
In fact, Kagan argued that courts are particularly suspicious about laws that are justified on diversity or redistributive grounds.In the article from which the Times quotes, Kagan notes that in Buckley v. Valeo, the Supreme Court stated: "the concept that government may restrict the speech of some elements of our society in order to enhance the relative voice of others is wholly foreign to the First Amendment." She later adds that "Buckley's antiredistribution principle has continuing importance: no Justice on the current Court would dispute the claim -- even if some Justices would dispute applications of it -- that the government may not restrict the speech of some to enhance the speech of others." Kagan later argues, however, that despite the language in Buckley, the case is best understood as establishing "an evidentiary tool designed to aid in the search for improper motive." And Kagan says that there is an "increased probability" that "laws directed at equalizing the realm of public expression" or achieve "diversity" have such an improper motive. From Kagan's article:
The question remains, however, why the Court should treat as especially suspicious content-neutral regulations of speech -- such as the regulations in Buckley -- that are justified in terms of achieving diversity. If the Buckley principle serves as a means for flushing out illicit motive, then the answer must relate to some special characteristic(s) of these regulations that affect the motive inquiry. And in fact, the nature of these regulations, as compared with other content-neutral regulations, creates two problems (similar to those posed by standardless licensing schemes): first, that governmental officials (here, legislators) more often will take account of improper factors, and second, that courts will have greater difficulty detecting the presence of such tainted deliberations.
The increased probability of taint arises, most fundamentally, from the very design of laws directed at equalizing the realm of public expression. Unlike most content-neutral regulations, these laws not only have, but are supposed to have, content-based effects; their raison d'etre is to alter the mix of ideas-or, at least, of speakers, who tend to be associated with ideas-in the speech market. Given this function, these laws will have not the diverse, diffuse, and crosscutting content-based effects usually associated with content-neutral laws, but a set of targeted and coherent effects on ideas and speakers. This set of focused effects renders a law directed at equalization nearly as likely as a facially content-based law, and much more likely than most facially content-neutral laws, to stem from improper motive. In considering such a law, a legislator's own views of the ideas (or speakers) that the equalization effort means to suppress or promote may well intrude, consciously or not, on her decision-making process. The law thus raises grounds for suspicion.
Kagan also did not argue that government regulations are justified if they seek to "unskew" speech. In her article, Kagan was arguing that the Supreme Court has usually based its decisions about government regulation of speech on the government's motives rather than on the consequences of the regulation. In the specific portion of the article that the Times distorted, Kagan was not endorsing government attempts to "redistribut[e]" or "unskew" public discourse in order to amplify or diminish certain opinions. Rather, Kagan was discussing the 1992 case R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, which invalidated an anti-hate speech law enacted in St. Paul, Minnesota. Kagan argued that the R.A.V. decision was based on St. Paul's "illegitimate, censorial motives" in passing the law -- not on the ways in which the law might have impermissibly "skewed" public debate. Kagan wrote:
Finally, the notion of a skewing effect, as an explanation of R.A.V. or any other case, rests on a set of problematic foundations. The argument assumes that "distortion" of the realm of ideas arises from -- and only from -- direct governmental restrictions on the content of speech. But distortion of public discourse might arise also (or instead) from the many rules of property and other law that, without focusing or intending to focus on any particular speech, determine who has access to expressive opportunities. If there is an "overabundance" of an idea in the absence of direct governmental action -- which there well might be when compared with some ideal state of public debate -- then action disfavoring that idea might "unskew," rather than skew, public discourse. Suppose, for example, that racists control a disproportionate share of the available means of communication; then, a law like St. Paul's might provide a corrective.
A court well might -- as the R.A.V. Court did -- refuse the government the power to provide this corrective, but to do so, the court must discard a rationale focused purely on effects and adopt a rationale focused on motive.
The worry in a case like R.A.V. is not with skewing effects per se; the fear of skewing effects depends upon, and becomes meaningless without, the fear that impermissible considerations -- call them for now "censorial" or "ideological" considerations -- intruded on the decision to restrict expression.
The R.A.V. Court made this concern about illegitimate, censorial motives unusually evident in its opinion, all but proclaiming that sources, not consequences, forced the decision. [Kagan, "Private Speech, Public Purpose," 1996, Pages 420-421]
Kagan did not say that free speech law should be concerned exclusively with governmental motivation, rather she was providing a "primarily ... descriptive theory" of First Amendment doctrine. From Kagan's article:
I am not about to craft (yet another) all-encompassing -- which almost necessarily means reductionist -- theory of the First Amendment. First, what follows is primarily a descriptive theory; although I discuss its normative underpinnings, I make no claim that a sensible system of free speech should be concerned exclusively with governmental motivation.
Kagan: A First Amendment doctrine based on searching for improper motive is not "self-evidently correct." Kagan concluded her article by saying:
The presence of this underlying principle, explaining and rationalizing First Amendment doctrine, does not make the doctrine self-evidently correct. We may believe that the doctrine cares too much about motive or that it cares too little about other things. But the principle does make the doctrine internally consistent and coherent. If the current doctrinal formulations are wrong, they are largely wrong as a whole and for the same reasons. And those reasons would relate-as most of the law relates -- to the decision to treat the question of governmental motive as the preeminent inquiry of the First Amendment.
Kagan did not say government can regulate speech because it creates wealth
Wash. Times falsely suggested that Kagan said government creates wealth and therefore can regulate speech. From the Times editorial.
Ms. Kagan's First Amendment work repeatedly promotes the idea that speech rights are granted by government rather than inherent in the God-given nature of man.
These government-favoring ideas on speech mirror a government-centric view of ... well, of everything. In a footnote in that 1996 essay, Ms. Kagan wrote that restrictions on corporate speech were based "on the ground that corporate wealth derives from privileges bestowed on corporations by the government. But this argument fails, because individual wealth also derives from government action. ... The question in every case is whether the government may use direct regulation of speech to redress prior imbalances."
The simple answer to that question is no. Individuals, not governments, create wealth - and individuals acting in a free market of ideas can use speech to try to redress any perceived imbalances. Ms. Kagan's apparent view to the contrary is disturbing and should be disqualifying.
Kagan was not saying that, because government creates wealth, it can regulate speech. In the comments the Times quotes, Kagan was actually arguing against one potential rationale for limiting corporate spending on campaigns, the argument that government created corporations and therefore can completely regulate their speech. Kagan stated:
The Court tried to distinguish Austin from Buckley, principally on the ground that corporate wealth derives from privileges bestowed on corporations by the government. But this argument fails, because individual wealth also derives from governmental action. What the Court recognized in Austin is only what is true in every case: direct regulation of speech occurs against a backdrop of law that, while not referring to speech, goes far toward structuring the sphere of public expression. The question in every case is whether the government may use direct regulation of speech to redress prior imbalances. [citation omitted]
Clarence Thomas said "I don't see a role for the use of natural law in constitutional adjudication." The Washington Timesattacked Kagan for promoting "the idea that speech rights are granted by government rather than inherent in the God-given nature of man." But even Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has rejected the idea of using "natural law in constitutional adjudication." From Thomas' hearing:
As I indicated, I believe, or attempted to allude to in my confirmation to the Court of Appeals, I don't see a role for the use of natural law in constitutional adjudication. My interest in exploring natural law and natural rights was purely in the context of political theory. I was interested in that. There were debates that I had with individuals, and I pursued that on a part-time basis. I was an agency chairman.
Kagan's First Amendment views are mainstream and "generally pretty speech-protective"
First Amendment scholar Volokh predicts that -- like Justice Ginsburg -- Kagan will likely be "generally pretty speech-protective." Conservative media have repeatedly distorted Kagan's statements to suggest that she is anti-free speech. However,libertarian law professor and First Amendment expert Eugene Volokh examined Kagan's scholarship on the First Amendment and concluded that "the likeliest bet" is that Kagan would be "generally speech-protective, but probably with some exceptions in those areas where the liberal Justices on the Court have taken a more speech-restrictive view." Volokh wrote:
On then to my own evaluation of the First Amendment articles: I think they're excellent. I disagree with them in significant ways (this article, for instance, reaches results that differ quite a bit from those suggested by Kagan's Private Speech, Public Purpose article, see, e.g., PDF pp. 8-9). But I like them a lot.
My guess is that the likeliest bet would be to say that a Justice Kagan would be roughly where Justice Ginsburg is -- generally pretty speech-protective, but probably with some exceptions in those areas where the liberal Justices on the Court have taken a more speech-restrictive view, chiefly expensive speech related to campaigns and religious speech in generally available government subsidies. Not perfect from my perspective, but not bad, and no worse than Justice Stevens, with whom Justice Ginsburg largely agreed on such matters.
Former Chicago Law School Dean Stone: Kagan approached First Amendment issues "without even a hint of predisposition."Geoffrey R. Stone, a law professor at the University of Chicago who was dean when Kagan was hired there, wrote in a May 10 article:
In her formative years as a scholar, Kagan wrote a series of illuminating articles about freedom of speech. They were illuminating not only because they shed interesting light on the First Amendment, but also because they reveal a lot about Kagan. In an area rife with ideology, her articles addressed complex and weighty legal questions without even a hint of predisposition.
In one early essay, she addressed the provocative issue of hate speech. After examining the question in a rigorous, lawyerlike manner, she came out in full support of a highly controversial 5-4 decision authored by none other than conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, which held that the government cannot constitutionally ban hate speech. Kagan reached this result even though it was clearly contrary to the liberal orthodoxy at the time.
Even Fox News' Megyn Kelly says Kagan "seems pretty middle of the road" on "free speech matters." From the May 11 edition of The O'Reilly Factor (retrieved from Nexis):
KELLY: Well, I have to say on free speech, Elena Kagan, so far this is something she's written a lot about, seems pretty middle of the road. I don't expect her to be a far left liberal on free speech matters.
NY Times reports there are indications Kagan's "views on government regulation of speech were closer to the Supreme Court's more conservative justices, like Antonin Scalia." The New York Times reported in a May 14 article:
In her early years as a law professor, Elena Kagan wrote almost exclusively on the First Amendment. There are indications in those writings that her views on government regulation of speech were closer to the Supreme Court's more conservative justices, like Antonin Scalia, than to Justice John Paul Stevens, whom she hopes to replace.

Who Cares About Debit Reward Cards?
Financial institutions offer checking account features that few consumers care about. All people really want is mobile banking and free ATMs.
Direct Banks Are Winning Mobile-Centric Consumers
Because online/direct banks don't have any branches, consumers assume they must have better mobile banking.
Why Consumers Choose and Use Reloadable Debit Cards
Reloadable debit cards are an alternative for those consumers who don't write checks.
Young Consumers Need Bank Branches
Adults under 30 are less likely avoid bank branches than older consumers, and aren't as interested in opening accounts online.
Women Switching Banks Need Branches More Than Men
One in four women over the age of 50 say branches are their primary concern when switching banks. How should financial marketers respond?

Jagger 'to be knighted'
Mick Jagger is to receive a knighthood for services to music in the Queen's Birthday Honours next weekend, according to newspaper reports.
Earlier this year, the Rolling Stones singer claimed Prince Charles was shocked he had not even received an MBE while Paul McCartney, Elton John, Cliff Richard and Bob Geldof had already been knighted.
But the 58-year-old was put forward for the honour by Tony Blair, says the News of the World.
The prime minister covered the Stones' Honky Tonk Woman and Brown Sugar with his group the Ugly Rumours as a student at Oxford.
Jagger, an old friend of Princess Margaret, was asked to play at last weekend's Buckingham Palace Jubilee concert but declined because of tour commitments.
A 12-month Stones world tour starts in September this year and will consist of 32 dates in the United States and Canada, before heading to Europe, Australia, Mexico and the Far East in 2003.
The band, who last toured in 1999, are also hoping to play their first ever concert in China.
A retrospective CD of their greatest hits from 1963 to the present day will be released to coincide with the tour.
The name of the tour will be revealed with the name of the new album.
Tour promoter Michael Cohl has said the shows will be "a spectacular music event" and described the tour as "the most ambitious undertaking the Stones have ever taken upon themselves".

Workers should be getting W-2 forms in the mail, the official statement that verifies wages and taxes for the year. Employers were supposed to send them out by the end of January, but what if yours is late?
The Internal Revenue Service advises first contacting your employer to make sure the document has been mailed and that it was sent to your current mailing address.
If the form still doesn't come, the next step would be to call the IRS at 800-829-1040. The agency will want your name, address, Social Security number and phone number, along with your employer's name, address and phone number; your employment dates; and your estimated wages in 2012, information you can find on your final pay stub.
Even if you don't have a W-2 in hand, you should still file your tax return by April 15 or request an extension.
For more information, check out www.IRS.gov or call 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676). -

Drop Shots
Weary of reading about five-set thrillers on Armstrong Stadium, or another crushing victory by Rafael Nadal? Here are the non-tennis headlines I've been following this US Open.
Serena's Absence: Foot Surgery, or Nose Job?
Serena Williams withdrew from the US Open, and from several tournaments leading up to it, because she allegedly suffered deep cuts to her feet after she stepped on glass at a restaurant in Munich on July 7. But some in the British press thinks her July 15 operation was really for plastic surgery. Serena has been less than clear on the circumstances involving the mysterious injury, as Bleacher Report details. Serena certainly looks different. Could a new eyebrow brush do all that?
Venus Williams Needs to Give Up Clothing Design.
Really. Venus says her sparkly dress draws its inspiration from fireworks and celebration. But after watching her tug at her creeping hemline after every point, I think she was more inspired by the wedgie. Read what theroot.com had to say.
Trick Shots.
Roger Federer first showed off his stunning, between-the-legs shots against Novak Djokovic at last year's US Open semifinals. He gave a repeat performance this year, in the first round, against poor Brian Dabul. Some argue that the tweener France's Michael Llodra hit against Germany's Tommy Haas at Indian Wells in 2007 was more difficult. On the women's side, Francesca Schiavone, the French Open champion, showed Federer and Llodra are not alone. Of the shot, Schiavone said, "Is just instinct. Is art." Yes, indeed.
The Mardy Fish Diet.
I'd try it, if i thought I could survive. He talks about it here: it's made a difference in his confidence, his movement on the court, and his ranking. But one guy thinks too much is being made of Fish's transformation: Sam Querry. "I honestly think everyone's kind of rough on him," he said at a news conference earlier this week. "They [the media] make him sound like he was just FAT before this year and that they're surprised he could play. I mean, the guy used to be 17 in the world. It's definitely helped him, but, I mean, it's not like, he's not like a different player."

When Les D'Arcy starts talking, stopping him becomes a challenge. He's 91 and lives where he was born, in Wakefield in West Yorkshire. "When I'd achieved what I wanted to in table tennis - my first world title - I decided I'd have a go in weightlifting," he says. "When I was 84 and I'd become European champion, I decided to go into athletics."
He continues: "Last year I was competing in the US in the shot, discus, hammer, weights and the Fosbury flop, or high jump. I had the pleasure of meeting Dick Fosbury. I asked for his advice about the Fosbury flop. He said I shouldn't do that. Why not? Oh, he says, that's for young people, he says, with flexible backs."
Then D'Arcy breathes, displaying none of the symptoms of the chest problems he says have forced him to slow down, at least a bit. After several lifetimes in sport, in defiance of various doubters, the nonagenarian athlete is now revelling in minor fame and the opportunity to tell his story. He's one of the stars of Ping Pong, a new documentary that follows eight pensioners as they compete in the over 80s category at the 2010 table tennis World Veterans Championships in China. The youngest is Terry Donlon, from Stockport. He's 83 and has nearly died at the ping pong table. The oldest, an Australian called Dorothy DeLow, is 101, or about as old as table tennis itself.
Hugh and Anson Hartford, brothers in their early thirties based in London, are touring Britain this summer to present their first feature documentary in what is a big year for sport - and sport on film. Chariots of Fire, perhaps the greatest sports movie of all, has been digitally restored for a new cinema release from 13 July, more than 30 years after the British drama won four Oscars. Its run has also been timed to build excitement for the Olympics, which has already inspired several new films.
Ping Pong is in cinemas now after well-received screenings at the Hot Docs film festival in Toronto in April and, last month, at the Sheffield Documentary Festival. The film played there alongside Glory Road, about the Olympic dreams of three young boxers from Liverpool.
The subjects of Ping Pong are slower on their feet and considerably longer in the tooth than those athletes who will be bringing their Olympic ambition to London in the next few weeks, but the Hartfords' film shows they lack nothing in competitive or sporting spirit. When Dorothy, the centenarian, comes up against Lisa Modlich, 86, a waspish Texan and former Austrian aristocrat, Modlich cattily notes her greater chance of winning, observing of Dorothy: "She can't move!"
Anson Hartford says he found inspiration for Ping Pong in the triumph-over-adversity narrative of Rocky, Sylvester Stallone's 1976 boxing masterpiece. "It's so ultimately Hollywood, with the perfect three-part narrative and payoff. We were also quite quickly taken by the idea that the best sports movies have very little sport. You need the right drama first."
The Hartfords wanted their film to be "a sports movie about getting old." Anson's brother, Hugh, first heard about the veteran championships in an in-flight magazine feature about Dorothy, then only 97. "The image of her wearing national strip made you question what kind of person would be doing that," Anson recalls from the London office of his production company, Banyak Films. "They had to be interesting."
He adds: "There was a line about Dorothy arriving at the table in a wheelchair and the opponent thinking it would be a walkover. But Dorothy got up and beat her. She was being quite playful about her old age and our preconceptions about ageing."
Dorothy's mischievous streak is evident in the film. "Why are you participating in this competition?" a booming Chinese TV reporter asks her. "You're SO old." Dorothy, now sitting again, thinks for a second. "I'm not old!" she replies.
Ping Pong's Rocky is Terry Donlon, the other British player among those who the Hartfords follow from their hometowns in England, China, Australia, Sweden and Germany, to the biennial championships in Mongolia. We see him in the opening sequences in hospital. His prostate cancer has returned. "He won't be able to play like he used to," says his partner, Sylvia.
Rewind six months and we see Terry gasping for breath in a nail-biting clash with a lesser player. He's survived kidney cancer, too, as well as failing lungs. But as he explains before a match, "I don't want to grow old and sit in a chair and watch television and just die."
Ping Pong delivers a Rocky-esque dénouement that won't be spoiled here, but rest assured that Terry, like Les D'Arcy, is alive and well. Both men were planning to compete this month in the world championships in Sweden. "I don't like giving in or giving anything away," Donlon says by phone last week, after a day on the bowls lawn. He still plays tabletennis at the Stockport club he helps to run. "Last night I couldn't play for love nor money because I couldn't get my breath. My doctors say carry on, just carry on. What else is there to do but sit down, mope and think about the wrong things you've done in life?"
As well as challenging preconceptions about ageing, the Hartfords want their film to inspire older people to take up tabletennis. The night before its more glossy screening at Sheffield, Ping Pong played to an audience at a retirement home in the city as part of a programme of events run in partnership with Age UK and the English Table Tennis Association.
"It was fairly surreal to play the film to a purely octogenarian audience," Anson Hartford says. "People laughed at different moments than at other screenings but the response was great and the room seemed to be full of excited energy at the end."
The project also includes ping pong packages containing bats, nets and a how-to DVD. "The owner of the retirement village also turned up and was so taken by the film and the package that he bought one for each of the homes he runs," Hartford says.
Donlon has seen the effect the film can have on older viewers. "I showed it to one of my friends, who's also 83, and she just sat down for 75 minutes and never took her eyes off the screen," he says. "Then she turned around and said, 'what have I done with my life?'"
Donlon adds: "I told her she could come to my club and learn to play. I said tabletennis keeps your mind young and your body fit. I said I'm 83 but feel 31. She said she might give it a try."Reuse content

Hi Folks,
My daily driver, 02 WRX with cat back done by the dealer, longer before I bought the car in 05. Now about 104 K miles, with timing belt at 96K.
The last 2 times that I have driven in heavy rains I received a P1008 CEL,
for Tumble generator valve #1 (RH) position sensor circuit low input.
As much as I have researched and looked under the hood, I can't find
this part to better protect it from the rain, which is the obvious problem,
I suppose.
Last night, coming home from Philly last night (after seeing my 2nd Grandson!) in periods of heavy (gully washer) downpours, and my wife said that water was dripping like a "leaky faucet" on her feet. I did have the defrosters on,
but that shouldn't cause a leak in the car as well. All help is greatly appreciated.

Newcastle can still boast the best defense of any team in the football league at the moment, having conceded just four goals in the league this season, in their seven games.
Steven Taylor – it's all about team spirit
And part of that is due to the form of 25 year-old Steven Taylor, who is forging a massive partnership with captain Fabricio Coloccini at the heart of the Newcastle defense.
But the news at Newcastle these days, is that the team has some fantastic team spirit, and that's another big reason for Newcastle's solid start to the season, at least so far.
Steven was asked what the reason was for Newcastle's fine start to the season, and he told Sky Sports News:
"It is just team spirit and determination. The gaffer has built up a winning mentality with the lads."
"In pre-season in America we all sat down and knew what our targets were, but for the time being we are taking it a game at a time and it is working for us."
"It is fantastic playing with Coloccini. He leads by example and I think his performances have been fantastic this season," "Also Tim Krul some of the saves he has made – that's why he is in the Holland squad."
"His confidence has gone straight through the roof and that has gone all the way to the strikers. Leon Best, Demba Ba, SholaAmeobi and Peter Lovenkrands are scoring goals and it gives the gaffer a headache and I think that's what you need."
The pre-season tour of America was not that successful, with Ben Arfa being injured in that very first game after only 30 minutes, but if course the lads were also just getting to know each other.
But the team has looked very good so far this season, and while we doubt we can keep in 4th place for too much longer, if the lads can get in a top eight position by next May, it will have been a very good season for Newcastle.
And who knows, with just a little bit of luck, we may even be able to qualify for Europe next season, and finishing high up in the league will let us do that, and of course there's always the Carling Cup.
That's how a poor Birmingham side qualified last season, and the club is now in Europe, even though they are in the English second division, the Championship, under new manager Chris Hughton.
There's also the FA Cup, but the top clubs tend to play their first teams in that competition, and that makes it that much more difficult to win – spoilsports.
Comments welcome.

The UN envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, today announced that the Syrian government had agreed to a ceasefire during the four-day Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha.
The Syrian opposition also reportedly told him they would reciprocate a government truce over the festival, which starts tomorrow.

Got home and fully cleaned the gun by removing all the lubrication from the factory (Gun Scrubber). Applied Break Free and in some places grease. Continued the break in with another 200 rounds. No issues. Got a little spoiled with just being able to take a Glock out of the box and shoot with no issues.

Scotland Yard has issued a warning about the use of clubbing drugs such as GHB after the deaths of two men in a gay sauna.
The two men, aged 39 and 46, died after collapsing at the Pleasuredrome sauna near Waterloo station at the weekend.
Post mortems have failed to establish the cause of death but police suspect they are drug-related.
An inquest earlier this month heard how waiter Januario Da Costa Ribiero, 33, died at the Sweatbox Sauna in Soho in June after taking a cocktail of substances including the former legal high mephedrone and the clubbing drug gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), which is popular on the gay scene.
Now the Met has circulated warnings to the gay community saying : "GHB and GBL can result in death and are particularly dangerous when taken with alcohol or other depressants or sedatives such as sleeping tablets."
Further toxicology tests are being carried out on the bodies of the two men to establish a cause of death.
One man was pronounced dead at the scene and another died after being taken to hospital. A third man was also treated in hospital but later discharged.
The Pleasuredrome sauna describes itself as "the ultimate gay sauna London has to offer".
In the warning police say that drugs are responsible for between 1,300 and 1,600 deaths a year in the UK, and destroy thousands of relationships, families and careers.
It also states that drugs such as GHB (gammahydroxybutyrate) and GBL (gammabutyrolactone) are used recreationally but are illegal and anyone found in possession could face two years imprisonment plus a fine. People convicted of supplying the drug could face fourteen years in jail.
Detectives are appealing for a man seen entering the sauna with the 39-year-old to come forward as they are concerned for his welfare.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police in Lambeth have launched an appeal for information following the death of two men after they collapsed in a sauna.
"At approximately 8.15am on Saturday 27 October police were called by the London Ambulance Service to Pleasuredrome sauna in Cornwall Road, following reports of three men collapsed.
"One of the men, aged 39, was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man, aged 46, was taken to hospital but died on Monday 29 October. A third man, aged 34, was taken to hospital for treatment and discharged on Monday evening."

Authorities say a 24-year-old Schenectady man has been charged with second-degree murder for opening fire at a family gathering last month, killing a man and wounding the victim's brother.
Police in Schenectady say Emmanuel Martinez was captured Wednesday in Brooklyn by U.S. Marshals. He had been sought since the night of Aug. 30, when 24-year-old Jose ``Mickey'' Torres was fatally shot and his brother, 31-year-old Luis Gomez, was wounded.
Other charges filed against Martinez include attempted murder and assault. He was scheduled to be arraigned in Schenectady City Court Thursday morning.
Police aren't saying yet what prompted the shooting, which occurred during a backyard family party at the start of Labor Day weekend.

I was lucky enough to be in the Paddock Club and the private Williams-BMW suite at the Canadian Gran Prix recently. I had conversations with Mark Webber,Hans Stuck, and Mario Thiessen.
(1) None of them had any enthusiasm for the standard shift.
(2) Dr Thiessen did not seem to be too sure about a manual being ultimately available although he is purely on the F1 side.
(3) Mark Webber said that the car is staggeringly fast and very much likes the SMG. He did day it was a bit clunky in traffic at low speeds, but was clearly very enthusiastic about SMG. He also said that you have to be very careful with it becase the car is going faster than you think at times ,and you have to be alert. He has an M5 on order.
(4) Hans Stuck was one of the greatest BMW sports car drivers ever in his day, and had extensively driven the M6 on the Nordschleife.He felt that he could have won Le Mans in this car had it been available ten years ago. He loves the M6.
Its interesting that three people who are in the know and who could doubtlessly drive rings around somebody of my competent but not competitive ability were so clearly behind the SMG option.
It changed my opinion. I am going SMG.

Fighting crime is a full-time job and Batman NEVER takes a vacation.
That is until he finally agrees to let Batgirl and Nightwing take him on a long overdue trip - leaving Gotham City under the watchful eye of the Justice League in LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout. When Batgirl and Nightwing take Batman on a trip down memory lane - literally - to visit one of the key mentors from his formative years, it's up to the Justice League to keep Gotham City crime-free. But neither situation proves to be a "vacation" as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It's a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League - with some help from a few Teen Titans - fends off an assault by many of Batman's infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City's safety. Although way too cartoony, goofy and dumb this Lego Justice League is still entertaining some jokes are pretty good and the action is pretty nice if you don't like this kind of humor just show it on your kids they will love it.

[Tariq Jahan, has declared his intention to pursue a civil case against some of the men acquitted of killing his son in the 2011 riots]
By Alishbah Khaliq
The riots of 2011 began in Tottenham amid controversy about the shooting of 29-year-old Mark Duggan by a police officer. People initially took to the streets to protest for justice, but the incident later escalated into nationwide riots. Two years on, the case of three young men – Haroon Jahan, 21, and brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31 – killed during the riots in the Winson Green area of Birmingham has culminated into yet another controversy involving a police inspector; and for their families the seeking of justice continues.
Tariq Jahan, father of Haroon Jahan, has declared his intention to pursue a civil case against some of the men acquitted of killing his son and the two brothers. All eight men accused of murder were discharged by the jury in July last year, after a police inspector's failure to reveal to the prosecution counsel that witnesses had at first been offered protection from prosecution before it was withdrawn.
Detective Chief Inspector Anthony Tagg was judged by Lord Justice Flaux to have lied during the trial when he declared that this information had been made available to the prosecutors. The prosecution team however, refused that they had been informed. While cross-examining, defence counsel were also not aware of the witnesses' apprehension about being prosecuted. Due to this the jury were asked by Justice Flaux to disregard a lot of the evidence involved in the case when making their decision.
Although investigations for alleged perjury were made by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) against Inspector Tagg and another police officer, Detective Inspector Khalid Kiyani, neither was prosecuted by the Crown Prosecution Service. While Inspector Kiyani has retired, whether Inspector Tagg will face any proceedings on the basis of misconduct will be decided by West Midlands Police upon receiving the IPCC report.
Jahan said, "We may never find out for sure who was to blame for the collapse of the case – the police officers or the justice system" but added that he and the families of the deceased will "carry on with the fight" for justice.
Jahan's appeal for calm helped to quench further potential violence in the aftermath of the hit-and-run incident which took the lives of his son and the two brothers in August 2011. Jahan said then that it was his "religion" and "belief in Allah" which helped him "to cope" with such a tremendous loss.
His composure and display of magnanimity at the time won a Prize of Britain award along with unanimous praise from the police, local councillors and Prime Minister, David Cameron, amongst others. However, while uninsured property-owners incurring damages during that August two years ago were promised compensation under the Riot Damages Act, a father who lost his son still awaits a fitting recompense for his loss.

Greg Rutherford insists there is "definitely room for improvement" despite demolishing the British long jump record by 16cm with a leap of 8.51m in Chula, San Diego.
Rutherford, the 2012 Olympic champion, did not expect to make such a staggering statement in only his second meeting of the season but, after soaring over the record that he shared with Chris Tomlinson, the 27-year-old believes he can jump further in 2014 and add more gold medals to his collection.
"It's a great feeling," Rutherford said. "A lot of people had a level of expectation of when it was going to happen, so it's nice to finally put it to bed and hopefully now build on it. That's the big thing for me – it's all well and good doing it this early in the season but it's all about jumping further and winning some more titles."
Rutherford, who became only the third man to jump over 8.50m since 2010, started with two fouls before jumping 8.18m on his third attempt. Everything came together on his fourth jump. Yet while he was delighted to break the record and beat the US indoor champion Tyron Stewart and the London 2012 bronze medallist Will Claye, Rutherford also spotted a few errors, which leads him to believe he can go even further.
"I did not expect the 8.51m but I caught a few angles and positions and a decent distance came," he said. "Will Claye's coach said that there's definitely room for improvement and from what I've seen from the video, there is as well."
Rutherford struggled for much of 2013 and failed to qualify for the final of the world championships in Moscow after struggling to fully recover from a ruptured hamstring. He has been revitalised since moving to a new coach, Jonas Tawiah-Dodoo, under whom he has focused on sprinting alongside the European under-23 100m silver medallist, Deji Tobais, and the European junior 100m champion, Chijindu Ujah. He has felt faster in training. Even so, he was unsure what to expect from his first outdoor event of 2014.
"I haven't had many competitions this year so I knew it was going to be tough," he said. "I was struggling with the run-up but once I got it right in the third round [8.18m] I knew there was something half good there."
Rutherford will return to Britain in the next fortnight to compete in the Great City Games in Manchester on 17 May and has also signed up for the Glasgow Grand Prix at Hampden Park on 11-12 July but his major aims this year are to win gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the European championships in Zurich.
"It's all about doing it in a big scenario and competition," he said. "Hopefully I can get multiple distances out there and re-establish myself as one of the best jumpers in the world. We'll see how the summer goes and hopefully there'll be some bigger distances."

I am set on buying an ATS 2.0 or 3.6, have not decided just yet on which one, but I want to wait until the 2014 model comes out so I can negotiate a better price on a 2013. I have searched but found no information on the 2014 sedan. There is some information on the coupe, but nothing on the Sedan. Any news or ideas on when the 2014 model Sedan will be released this year? Thanks.

canon 10-22mm vs. sigma 10-20mm
canon 10-22mm vs. sigma 10-20mm
has anyone had to decide between these two lenses?
also.. the sigma has a 10-20mm f3.5 and a 10-20mm f4-5.6 ...
not sure how that works
Did you see what I said about this in the pic of the day thread?
Romeo, there are pleanty of reviews on line about these lenses... It all depends on how much you will use the lens and if you have the budget for Canon. If you won't be using much and just need the wide angle from time to time, go with sigma. It will save you about $300. If you do plan to use it frequently, go with canon, it will perform a little better in general. Don't forget about the Tokina 12-24 f4, Id say its better then sigma and very similar price.
If you don't know what the "f3.5 and f4-5.6" means, I suggest you buy a photography book or start learning online, its the basics.
My pick of the two is the Canon, I had one and loved it but never used it so it's now at a better home. If budget doesn't allow for the Canon, I guess this question has answered itself.
Tokina 11-16mm f2.8
Faster, nicer, cheaper.
^ that's a nice lens, but its down side is a short length. 12-24 or 10-20 is perfect for walk around city during the day.
I used mostly 16-24 on my last trip.
Sent from my SGH-I727R using Bimmer App
^ not sure what you mean by that... the lens is limited with length... some people need more then 16mm. Your lens will not do that.
If you need something for low light situations, then yes, its a better lens and only up to 16mm.
For a regular day use, if we are talking about quality, canon is a winner.
comes down to $ and need of the individual.
Sent from my SGH-I727R using Bimmer App
Big difference between 16mm and 20mm when you are zooming? Nah.
Try 12mm at f4.0 and tell me the Canon is better.
The only reason I am comparing the two is because the sigma is much cheaper
I've handled the canon 10-22 and took a few shots but never had that chance with the sigma
Trying to gauge whether the sigma f3.5 is worth the extra money over the f4-5.6 ...
But the sigma 10-20 f3.5 is almost as expensive as the canon 10-22 so I'd probably go with the canon in that case
I am looking at used lenses and at worst case, I can resell the canon without losing any money
So I am leaning toward the canon
I know what f3.5 and f4-5.6 means
I meant I dunno if one lens is necessarily better because of the fixed aperture
Or if there is something else better about the 3.5 version that makes it more expensive, other than the lower f stop
If you're willing to fork out $600-700 for one or the other, go with canon. that half a stop won't do much.. use a flash when indoors ;)
Sent from my SGH-I727R using Bimmer App
Prices for the 50mm
f/1.8 $110
f/1.4 $359
f/1.2 $1439
found a local seller
$500 for a used canon 10-22mm
may grab it ... will sleep on it before deciding
great deal
Sent from my SGH-I727R using Bimmer App
yeah.. i'm going to do it. just messaged the guy
hopefully i can meet up with him in the next day or two and get it done
Yeah I'd be all over it for that price.
I'd almost buy for that price and resell for a profit...
I was hoping for $450. I think if I had time, I could find it. But not when I have just days.
There is one for sale on POTN for $475 shipped right now
From ny
The seller says glass is fine, just some scratches on the body
Posted some pics
Meeting my seller later today
Going to stick the lens on my camera and snap some shots, make sure the focusing and zooming works without issue
And of course inspect for physical damage
Anything else I should do?

I'm never happy having to write a bad review on a product. Especially when the product is from a company that has such a great track record with amazing products- but unfortunately, a few misses are to be expected from every company.
I recently used some really heavily scented skin care products that broke me out horribly. So I was excited to get my hands on a stick of Murad's foray into the world of cosmetics– especially considering it's an Allure "Best of Beauty" winner.
The concealer is incredibly thick and pigmented and is infused with 2% Salicylic Acid, so one would think that it would be fantastic blemish cover. Unfortunately, I didn't think it was. The problems I had were that the product is chalky (I suspect it's the Salicylic Acid) and refuses to blend. Also there are only 2 colors, and both pull heavily on the orange side. I have very cool toned skin, so this product causes a jaundiced Dalmatian effect when I try to make it work.
Le sigh… I'm sorry Dr. Murad- I'm just not that into this one.
*Product provided for consideration.
