I publish below the introduction by Gilad Atzmon to a review of his book The Wandering Who by Norton Mezvinsky, the highly respected Jewish anti-Zionist professor and co-author (with the late Israel Shahak, the celebrated Israeli fighter for Arab rights) of Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel. The review is critical, and attempts to address various perceived problems with Atzmon's work, all of which helps advance the cause of rational political debate on the questions Atzmon raises about world politics and the Middle East. Indeed it could be regarded in some ways, not as a demolition of Atzmon's work by any means, but as a much more challenging criticism from a generally politically fraternal perspective than virtually any other progressive critique, including my own modest effort. Mezvinsky is not a Marxist, but on questions connected with Jews and Judaism he really knows of what he speaks. He is undoubtedly one of the most prominent authorities on this particular subject alive today

Lib-Dem and Labour Zionists purge Jenny Tonge
Jenny Tonge, the Liberal Democrat peer, has been driven out of the party for her outspoken defence of the Palestinians. She was effectively sacked after speaking at a meeting at Middlesex University, where she was quoted as saying the following:"Beware Israel. Israel is not going to be there for ever in its present form… Israel will lose support and then they will reap what they have sown."
She allegedly went on to say: "One day, the American people are going to say to the Israel lobby in the USA: enough is enough."
She was immediately denounced by Labour leader Ed Miliband in a tweet where he said: "No place in politics for people who question existence of state of Israel. Nick Clegg must condemn Jenny Tonge's remark and demand apology".
Clegg did just what Miliband demanded, but to her great credit she refused to apologise for her opinions. And so the Lib Dems, previously the least Zionist- influenced of the three main parties in British politics, ran up the white flag before the Zionist lobby by purging their most outspoken defender of Palestinian rights.
The Jewish Question and Racial Oppression today
One reason why the years-long controversy over Gilad Atzmon has generated such rancour, and why conflicts related to it such as the recent purge of 'anti-semites' from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign have been so bitter, is because they threaten to re-open the Jewish question. There was a time when the Jewish question was a matter of considerable debate and public controversy among those seeking greater democracy and social and economic equality. Witness Marx's celebrated essay The Jewish Question, among many others.
It was of course, also a subject of dispute among those with the opposite aims as well. But since WWII the Jewish question has not really been explored as previously. It is as if the Nazi genocide set a seal on it and made it one of those questions that had been 'decided', notwithstanding controversies around Israel which often involved major debates but which were ultimately considered to be something confined to the Middle East region. But now the decline of Israel's moral authority, and the threat it poses to 'world peace', and crucially the nature of its worldwide support, means the Jewish question must be addressed again.
Re-opening it is not something that can be done lightly; the nature of the Jewish people and its historical role is intertwined with some of the most tragic and barbaric events in human history. It contains a number of paradoxes and subtleties and is complex and not easy to analyse. It has also undergone major, arguably fundamental changes since the Second World War, that have mainly been so far analysed almost exclusively through the narrow prism of looking at Israel and Zionism.
PSC witch-hunt – a letter republished from the Weekly Worker
I am pleased to concur with comrade David Ellis' suggestion to publish this worthwhile contribution to the debate about the recent expulsions from PSC from Ruth Tenne of Camden PSC, not least because unfortunately WW does not have comments on its website. Therefore in the interests of the free exchange of ideas it appears here.
Tony Greenstein's piece, 'No room for anti-Semites' (Weekly WorkerJanuary 19), seems to have a lot in common with Tanya Gold's comments in The Guardian's 'Comment is free' ('LSE Nazi games in context, January 16). Gold claims that "Anti-Semitic discourse is now mainstream and to say it all comes from the crimes of the Jewish state feels disingenuous and a denial of the past. Anti-Semitism is too old to sprout anew from nothing."
Tony, a Palestine Solidarity Campaign member, will by Tania's definition be regarded as "one of the leftwing anti-Semites [who] despise Israel, but are vocal on the crime of other oppressive countries". Yet, Tony, like Ms Gold and the pro-Zionist camp, is bent on cleaning out PSC of any alleged holocaust deniers and anti-Semites. He claims: "It would be futile to deny that this has not caused major problems for PSC … Up and down the country, individual branches have experienced problems … In Camden, Gill Kaffash was forced to step down as PSC secretary after her holocaust denial sympathies became clear."
"An Essay by a Young Jew as to Why he has Rejected Zionism", or "The Wondering Jesse"
As I have noted previously, both sides of the acrimonious dispute between the left-wing Jewish trends personified by Gilad Atzmon and Tony Greenstein respectively, have a fundamentally anti-racist thrust. Despite the fact that they spend much of their time virulently slandering each other, they actually agree on a great deal. This is despite the incredibly acrimonious war of words between them whose thrust I will not recap here as there is plenty of material elsewhere that details what is involved.
But as I stated before,for this reason this blog is proud to link both to Gilad Atzmon's website, and to Tony Greenstein's blog, as representatives of two different anti-racist, anti-Zionist, Jewish trends.
One interesting, and symptomatic indicator of this is that they are competing to win over the same kind of people. Progressive Jews who are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. This recent case is emblematic of this.
On 18 January Gilad Atzmon published a posting titled 'The Wondering Jesse' praising a very moving and articulate essay by Jesse Lieberfeld, a young 11th Grade (year) Jewish-American student explaining his move away from Judaism and Zionism in solidarity with the Palestinians, and making very apposite comparisons between their struggle today and the struggle of Black Americans for basic human rights and equality in the civil rights movement a generation ago. Atzmon linked to the original, and recommended it to his readers. The essay jointly won the 2012 Martin Luther King Jr. prize for prose written by a young person – the obvious and powerful echoes and comparisons between such epic past struggles and those of those oppressed by Israel today make it particularly appropriate that he should win such an award for anti-racist writing.
Then on 30th January, the same essay was republished on Tony Greenstein's blog. What can you say except to welcome this, and say the more the merrier? In neither case is there anything out of place or incongruous about this essay being published, since much of the material published on both sites consists of fervent anti-racist criticism of Zionism and the crimes of Israel.
"Western-Centred Arrogance" and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign – a comment
The following extended comment was put on the Socialist Unity blog in response to their cross-posting an article by Tony Greenstein about the recent Palestine Solidarity Campaign conference, where a number of supporters of some of the kind of views expounded by Gilad Atzmon, were thrown out. Regular readers of this blog will be familiar with this subject matter, others who may not are encouraged to read earlier articles on this question, particularly my review of Gilad Atzmon's book 'The Wandering Who' from last year.
The problem is with this is that these people are not Nazis at all.
In fact most of them are Jewish themselves. And even when they are not, the people they look to for inspiration, are.
They actually represent an important non-European, Middle Eastern, view on the Jewish question. These kind of views, even if false, are widely held in the Middle East and just hammering them at a conference in the UK won't do you much good.
The victory of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Egyptian elections, and the high vote the Salafists got also, mean such people are going to be anything but isolated.
It is particularly symptomatic that Harpal Brar and his organisation, who can hardly be accused of being soft on or sympathetic to Nazism (!!!), can see this. They are not often right, indeed they are often wacky third-worldists, but on this position their insights from a non-Eurocentric position stood them in good stead. Even a stopped clock is sometimes correct.
From a non-European perspective this looks like Western-centred arrogance. European Jews and Brits lecturing non-European Jews about not being soft on the Arabs and their terrible anti-Jewish prejudices.
The Atzmonites are not entirely wrong either. Insofar as they are sceptical about the Holocaust, which some are more than others, they are of course wrong as the Brarites also noted.
But some of the other things they say about the Israel lobby in the West are much closer to reality. Atzmon's division of Jews into different categories based on the embrace or otherwise of identity politics is not 'anti-semitic' at all, but almost exactly analogous to a pretty mainstream understanding of the (in some ways) similar phenonemon of political Islam. (See my article on Political Islam and 'Jewish Identity Politics')
Another point, being as these people are not fascists or Nazis, but mainly Jews and other sincere Palestinian supporters.
Is it only being badly wrong on the Jewish Holocaust that is grounds for chucking people out of the Palestine movement, or is it the same for other similar events as well? Like the Armenian genocide? Note that the French bourgeoisie is just in the process of banning denial of this event also.
Is anyone who supports the Turkish government's views on this to be chucked out and shunned? Or is the Jewish genocide 'special', despite the disclaimers?
Because if people take this to its logical conclusion, they are going to have rather a hard time not just with many Palestinians – particularly Hamas supporters – and some of their Jewish supporters. But a big problem with many other Arabs, not to mention Turks as well. Given as the Turkish government has quite a lot of authority among those oppressed by Israel at the moment, this is not smart.
Don't kid yourself that these people are 'isolated'. The Brarities are not stupid when it comes to non-European politics, their stance says otherwise. This is another example of the British left shooting itself in the foot.
Political Islam and 'Jewish identity politics' – a comparison
The controversy over Gilad Atzmon and his book The Wandering Who, which I recently reviewed on this blog, raises a lot of important questions about history and the politics of the last two centuries. I make no apology for writing about this question again because some of the issues he raises are of great importance to questions relating to war and peace, the nature of contemporary capitalism, national questions and the composition of major classes in society, particularly the capitalist class. All these questions are of central importance to anyone who wants to see capitalism superseded by socialism – they also touch intimately on questions intertwined with the causes of at least one world war in living memory, as well as other traumatic and world historic events including the currents wars and now revolutions shaking the Middle East and neighbouring regions and states. So its pretty important.
Atzmon is not a Marxist thinker, but an idiosyncratic left-wing liberal, born and raised in a racist ethnocracy. His own rejection of a racist upbringing and his privileged birthright as a Jew in a Jewish state, has generated some ferocious rhetoric and not a little incoherence and misunderstanding by friend and foe alike in some cases. But Atzmon's writings are significant: this is also acknowledged by his enemies, usually rabid Zionists though also a few semi-Bundist socialists who on most issues are on the opposite side of the barricades to the Netan-yahoos. My point here is not to dwell on that conflict, but to acknowledge the significance of his work on 'Jewish identity'. If it was just, as his enemies proclaim, reheated anti-semitism from the pre-WWII years, Atzmon would be unable to defend himself against a tidal wave of universal opprobrium.
United against Cultural Fascism – A Letter to Every Cultured Person in This Country
This open letter was cross posted from Gilad Atzmon's website. It deserves the support of all socialists, defenders of democratic rights and opponents of racism and imperialist war.
By Gilad Atzmon
There was a time when Jewish politics and culture were associated with liberalism, human rights, pluralism and freedom of expression. Those days are clearly over. Nowadays, it is pretty much the opposite.
Here in Britain, Jewish nationalist lobbies are engaged in several kinds of repressive behaviour. Their practices include: bullying and harassment, disinformation, and smear campaigns.
This kind of activity does not serve the Jewish community or its interests. In fact, it gives the Jewish community, as a whole, a thoroughly bad name.
Last week, American academic Norman Finkelstein and I were on the front of the Jewish Chronicle (JC). We were presented as Public Jewish Enemies Number One. We were branded together with BNP leader and a racist Nick Griffin. This was obviously a clear outburst of Zionist hysteria.
This week, in an embarrassingly crude attempt to stop my new book The Wandering Who, the JC now appear to be launching an attack on music. Together with the Board of Deputies of British Jews and other Jewish groups they attempted to pressure the British Arts Council to withdraw its funding from a music festival I am playing at.
To read the JC, click here.
What we see here is scarily similar to the experience of Jazz musicians in Germany during the Nazi era. Astonishingly enough, it is Jewish representative bodies such as the Board of Deputies that are actively engaging in trying to restrict artistic expression. Apparently, some people out there, really drew the wrong lesson from that disturbing era.
Needless to say, they didn't get far. The Arts Council, stood by its principles of freedom of expression and in a statement responding to the JC's demands, they suggested that The Arts Council shouldn't "restrict an artist from expressing their views." They stated that the council believes in funding events and artists that show "a diverse view of world society". Once again, their campaign had backfired.
Of course, the JC wasn't at all happy. It appears to want to transform the British music scene, cultural gatherings and festivals into Stalinist enterprises and demands the right to dictate its own political agenda to the British public. The JC even went as far as to openly call for its subservient lobby-funded politicians to impose an "immediate sanction". Reading the JC today, I wonder how long it will take before Hava Nagila becomes a compulsory part of our national musical curriculum.
This is the reality: The most radical exponents of the most vile form of Jewish racist and supremacist ideology are accusing me, an anti-racist campaigner, of being an anti-Semite. Considering that I lead one of the most ethnically varied musical ensembles on this planet – this accusation is absurd, amusing or sad and probably all three. But here's the good news. On every possible front they are failing. No matter how much these Zionist supremacists convince themselves that I am the ultimate Jew-hater, they have failed to convince anyone else.
By bullying British cultural institutions and harassing artists in the name of the Jewish community, Jewish organizations are achieving nothing but the defamation of the whole of British Jewry.
So, to the Jewish Chronicle and the Board of Deputies of British Jews: You are acting against openness, pluralism, freedom of expression and artistic freedom – probably the most precious values this country has. Perhaps it is worth bearing this in mind.
All the best

US-Israel Strategic Alliance – Genesis and Precursors.
Arthur Balfour, Joseph Stalin, Richard Nixon – partners of Zionism
As a post-script to the discussion on the Jewish question earlier, I said that I would comment on the link Israel Shamir posted to his article 'Prince Charming', on the three major alliances that Zionists made with more powerful forces in the 20th Century, with British imperialism (which gave birth to the Balfour Declaration), with Stalinist Russia (which armed the Zionist forces in Israel's 1948-9 War of Independence), and with US imperialism, the latter of course continuing to this day.
Israel Shamir's understanding of the reason for all three of these alliances is fundamentally the same: that clever Jewish ideologues exploited the anti-semitic beliefs and paranoia about Jewish power that were widespread among ruling circles in all three states. Because of this fear of the Jews and their legendary power, they were compelled to comply with the wishes of the Zionists. Shamir therefore extends the reasoning of Israeli revisionist historian Tom Segev, in his very fine book One Palestine Complete, that the fundamental reason the British colonial power granted the Balfour declaration was a superstitious belief in the power of the Jews, and a desire to ingratiate. Apparently Stalin had similar motives in his own short-lived alliance with the Zionists during the later stages of WWII, and it also apparently explains the preponderant influence of the Israeli-Jewish lobby in the US today.
"This belief is the most common one in the US, as well. American politicians support Israel because they share the opinion of Lloyd George and Herzl. They also respect the condition demanded by heirs of Jacob Schiff and never, but never mention the dreadful words, "Jewish power". In the world free of taboos, a new Henry Miller can't shock his readers referring to sex, but to the Jews and their unseen might. Is it only a perception? Perhaps. But the American traditional elites pay for it a real double price: they send their folks to fight a third war within the last hundred years for somebody's else perceived interests, and their positions at the top table disappear daily. This perception bleeds Iraq and Palestine, sends money to Israel, distorts the public discourse. Not in vain, Mark Twain used to say, a perception is almost as good as a real thing."
There is a real problem with this 'perception as reality' thesis, though. It assumes astounding ignorance and a superstitious inability to count the true relation of forces by groups of people who had the ruthlessness to conquer and maintain great empires. They did so by ruthlessly evaluting the strengths, weaknesses, relative power and potential resistance of numerous peoples around the world, in order to subdue them. It always was a fact that the Jews were a tiny minority of the world's population, and also a tiny minority of the populations of the advanced countries in Europe and the US.
It is simply a fact that the Jewish population world-wide is less than 20 million, in a world of approximately 7 billion people. That is, one Jew exists for every 350 non-Jews. Even before the Nazi genocide wiped out several million Jews in the second world war, the comparable populations were not that different. One assumes that the British colonial bourgeoisie, the Soviet bureaucracy of Stalin's day, and the US bourgeoisie today, were acquainted with these figures and can do elementary maths. Then it is simply incredibly naive to believe that they can be conned by a mere perception of power of a very thin layer of the population into doing its bidding.
It is equally impossible to believe that such ruthless ruling classes or layers, all of which have records of the most barbaric treatment of entire civilian populations, from the British Empire's crimes in Ireland and India, to Stalin's deportation to labour camps of millions and exiling of the entire Chechen and Tatar peoples, to the US' atrocities against populations ranging from Native Americans to blacks to Vietnamese, could be guilt-tripped into acting against their own interests by stories of past Jewish suffering. They really don't give a damn about anyone's suffering and never have. So why should they suddenly make an exception when Jews are involved? It does not make any sense; this too is a naive illusion (not particularly Shamir's, but a variant on the same idea that others hold to).
No, the only explanation for the tolerance of the Israel-Jewish lobby in the US is that a majority of the ruling capitalist establishment considers them to be playing a useful role in American interests. A strategy that aims to change the mind of the US bourgeoisie in this regard could eventually succeed, for the simple reason that no configuration of forces lasts forever and nothing is more sacred to the bourgeoisie than the 'national interest'. But only a major shift in world politics and world relations of forces would be likely to produce such a change of mind.
The British considered a Zionist outpost to be a useful possibility in the days of Balfour; as Ronald Storrs, the British Governor of Palestine, stated in the 1920s, they were looking for a 'loyal little Jewish Ulster' in the Middle East, modelled on the original one in the North of Ireland. On this they were naive, their naivety undoubtedly a product of their greed however, not realising that as the Zionist movement grew in influence and numbers in Palestine it would rapidly outgrow the 'Ulster' role the British ruling class had marked out for it and come into conflict with the British themselves.
Stalin's alliance with the Zionists was a classic Stalinist zig-zag, of the type his regime became renowned for in the 1930s as it went from the Stalin-Laval pact (France) of 1934 to the Stalin-Hitler pact of 1939-41 to the 'Big Three' (Roosevelt-Churchill-Stalin) alliance of 1941-45. With the hostile turn of the British and Americans to the USSR signalled with Churchill's Fulton, Missouri speech in 1946 ("an Iron Curtain has descended over Europe"), Stalin desperately cast around for possible allies to put pressure on the allies to be more reasonable. The Zionists, with their sometime 'socialist' rhetoric seemed a reasonable bet to the Stalinists at that point, as did many other nationalists before and since. No one ever accused Stalin of being strategically far-sighted!
And as to the US, they were originally quite suspicious of Israel precisely because of its Soviet connections. That began to change in 1956, with the Suez war when Israel allied itself with Britain and France in an act of armed aggression against Egypt that the US regarded as an outrageous act of the old colonial British and French against US hegemony. Israel got itself noticed in 1956 and showed both its military power and that it had broken from its initial Soviet support, as the US and USSR united to denounce the three-power attack in the UN. This gave birth to a period of friendly, but cautious relations between the US and Israel, as the two prospective strategic partners sounded each other out for reliability and the sustainability of an allliance.
The strategic alliance between the US and Israel was not fully sealed until after Israel 'proved itself' in 1967, humiliating Arab states that were by then sufficiently acting as Soviet-armed 'client states' for the war to be seen by the US ruling class as a kind of proxy war with the USSR, which Israel won hands down. In 1967 Israel's weaponry was mainly French, acquired during the previous period, but after 1967 it got everything it wanted and more from the United States. The Nixon administration from 1968 onwards was the prime architect of this new alliance.
It is that seminal event that sealed an alliance between Israel and the US that is just as important to the US bourgeoisie as its alliance with its NATO partners in Europe. Israel is seen as dependable, militarily reliable, and ultimately in a world war scenario among its most reliable allies. It is an advanced capitalist country, the only one in its region, albeit one that because of its geographical position needs a large subsidy.
It also by its very existence on stolen land acts as a lightning rod for Arab discontent and helps keep the Arabs divided and therefore helps in an indirect way in maintaining US domination over the oil-rich Arab regions. True, in some intra-regional conflicts its peculiarities make it less than useful because of Arab antipathy to its military forces when some finesse is needed, but that is seen by the US as a necessary price to pay for its other advantages.
Ultimately if US interests came to involve the need to blow up the Middle East to stop other forces getting their hands on it to the detriment of US interests, Israel would be willing to do it for Uncle Sam. Israel alone could be trusted to do it even if it mean sacrificing itself in a thermonuclear Masada. Fundamentally this is an alliance at the level of world war, which is why Israel has hundreds of nukes and the blessing of Uncle Sam for that.
That strategic imperative is what is behind the US/Israel relationship, which gives Israel a degree of power and its supporters in the US a great deal of latitude in dealing with Israel's opponents and critics. Israel Shamir's idea that it is in some way a result of bourgeois belief in myths or 'perceptions' about the power of Jews in the world is child-like and naive. The capitalists are not stupid enough to believe nonsense like that, that is only for the masses to believe along with the bogeyman and the tooth-fairy!
From Atzmon to Dreyfus: a reply to communalists and Stalinists
Tony Greenstein's extended comment criticising my review of Gilad Atzmon's new book The Wandering Who is indicative of a political method that can only lead to a 'dialogue of the deaf'. It is a characteristic flaw of the fragmented far left that in political disputes someone is quoted out of context in such a way as to distort the meaning of their views, and a whole extended narrative is concocted to attack the falsified or caricatured version. This is not a good method, it not only actually leaves one's interlocutor's real views untouched, but it also makes the exchange impossible to follow to the uninitiated layperson.
Such practices make the left a laughing stock. In this case, however, there is an additional element of communalism in that Atzmon is being 'punished' by left-wing members of his own Jewish community not merely for being right or wrong about something, but also for speaking 'against' his own people. The peculiar ferocity of the attack not only on Atzmon, but also on anyone who disagrees with these people's most extreme characterisations, is shown by the contribution of another Jewish leftist, Evildoer, who baldly admits he does not seek a rational discussion at all with leftists who disagree with him about Atzmon.

It's that time of the year again; time for that dreaded loss of that precious hour of sleep. The time when everyone ends up being late for something. No matter how predictable this occurrence might be, everyone seems to get a little bit confused and behind schedule during this change.
For a lot of folks, this time switch might seem a little pointless and annoying, but Day Light Savings in-fact has a great purpose to our lives.
The idea of Day Light Savings was first proposed by George Vernon Hudson in 1895, and it was not enforced until World War I. Hudson first conjured up the idea of saving daylight while employed as a shift-worker in New Zealand. His leisurely job gave him time to collect insects and he began to deeply value daylight. He presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society, in 1895 that proposed a saving of daylight by a two hour delay of the clocks. This proposal was greatly considered and was later adopted in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Although Hudson was the original, many news publications haphazardly gave the credit to a prominent English man, by the name of William Willet. Willet also conceived the idea of daylight savings in 1905 when he noticed how so many of his fellow Londoners slept through an enormous part of the summer day. His love for golf also played a large part in this idea, because he hated to cut his round short at dusk. Willet's solution was to advance the clock during the summer. This idea was set in a proposal and taken up by a member of Parliament named Robert Pearce.
Pearce first introduced this new Daylight Savings Bill to the House of Commons on February 12, 1908. A small committee was put in charge of examining and passing or rejecting the bill. Unfortunately the bill did not become law, and several other bills failed in following years. Willet lobbied for Day Light Savings to be passed, in the UK, for many, many years until his life came to an end in 1915.
It was not until April 30, 1916 that Day Light Savings was first used. It was during World War I that Germany and its allies wanted to find a way to conserve coal during wartime. Britain, its allies, and many European countries followed suit. Some more strong-willed countries found it useful and followed suit the year after. The United States adopted Day Light Savings in 1918. Ever since then, the world's countries have been enacting, adjusting, and repealing this idea of Saving Daylight.
No matter the history of the act, if you live in the U.S., then today you will be, or already have, set your clocks forward an hour. Some people, like myself, have trouble remembering when to set clocks and whether its forward or backwards.
Thanks to Google and my ingenious search of "Day Light Savings Time" in the search bar, I have found this handy dandy saying that anyone can remember. "Spring Forward, Fall Back"—it easily informs that in the spring time (March, 11 at 2:00 a.m.) you set your clocks forward an hour, and in the fall (November 4 at 2:00 a.m.) you fall back an hour.

MC Hammer arrested at Hacienda Crossings Shopping Center

So let's see if I understand this correctly. There he is, sitting in his car minding his own business and doing absolutely nothing wrong. And this pig walks over and without any cause whatsoever starts interrogating him. And because many of us still remember when probable cause meant something, he finds the jerks unjustified advances humorous, gets arrested and taken to jail. The unchecked authority and mind set of the law has done nothing but turn the citizenry against them. [removed]
I started checking up on this years new laws after a friend of mine told me of being arrested for "illegal weapons" (a baton cut in half by his policeman son) while on the way to church. The cops have their way with our legislators getting the most abserd laws passed, while no one seems to care or pay any attention. There are more than 800 new laws gone into effect this year in California alone, many creating new exemptions and authoritarian judgement calls for police. Thomas Jefferson was right, and it's time to take our nation back.
on Feb 24, 2013 at 12:12 pm
I am not sure why the first words out of the cops mouth needs to be "are you on parole or probation", this shows immediate discrimination. If the car had expired tags, and because he was sitting in it, not driving it (ie it wasnt moving) the cop could tap on the window, Explain why he is tapping on window, ask for license and registration. Run the license, verify if in fact driver is on parole or probation. The cop needs to exlain why they are singling you out. This is America, we are not a police state. As it turns out the car was not Hammers, and he may not have even known the registration was expired, if in fact it was. Could be the tags were expired but registration had been paid. Also, the cop shouldnt need to reach into the car. Did he ask Hammer to step out of car? it is actions like that make people hate the police.
on Feb 24, 2013 at 1:19 pm
So here we have a Navy veteran, over 50 years old, an entertainer who has been married about 30 years (now an IT consultant) who has never been in trouble with the law in his life all of a sudden while sitting in a car is harassed and roughed up by some nitwit cop in Dublin.
No wonder the local police have such horrible reputations for overstepping their bounds.
When is the press going to publish the police officer's name?

Would a '52 cub come with a '53 and up snow plow?

Would a '52 cub come with a '53 and up snow plow?
Well, I just found a cub up the road, and brought it home 24 hours later. Yeah! It is an all-original 1952 as far as I can tell. The snow plow on it has the big spring on the 'lifting arm' that my 1949 plow doesn't have. According to TM parts pages, the plow is a 1953 and up plow. Is it 'correct' on the 1952? The owner states it was bought that way 'way back'. I have an earlier plow that I could swap, but this one seems like it would be more forgiving if it hit something hard. I want to do some landscaping around the place, and am wondering what setup I should keep. I'll try to post a pick of my new love. Thanks for any feedback. Harold in CT

ESPN'S Chris Low says "Keep in mind that the loser of that Georgia-South Carolina game has never played for the SEC championship." No kidding, Sherlock! USCe has only played for the SEC championship ONCE! Last year! On the rare occasion that they beat us! Low's statistic is as meaningless as would be "The loser of the Georgia-Ohio State game has never played for the SEC championship." Low is correct, however, that those first two games of this season set the tone for the rest of the season. Beating South Carolina is statistically more important for Georgia than beating Boise State. But unless we play hard enough to beat the Broncos in Atlanta, we won't be ready to play true SEC-style football the following week. Simply put, the Boise State game will show us whether things have changed in Athens sufficiently for us to compete for an SEC east title. Consequently, beating Boise State is as critical to us as beating us is to them. We'd better arrive at the Georgia Dome ready to kick some horse tail, or else we will lose. If we do lose to Boise State, there'll be no confidence we'll be able to stop Lattimore and Jeffrey the next week. The Boise State game is critical!
Legendary Georgia Bulldog and Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker (1-0) returns to MMA action when he faces veteran Scott Carson (4-1) at Strikeforce: Diaz vs Cyborg, live from the HP Pavilion in San Jose and airing on Showtime. The Goal Line Stalker was originally scheduled to face Carson earlier this month in St. Louis, but was forced off the card after suffering a deep facial laceration in training with 2008 US Olympic wrestling captain Daniel Cormier. Walker won his professional debut last January. Headlining the event are a pair of championship bouts, setting this up as one of the biggest MMA cards for the first half of 2011.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney declared victory after several news reports projected him to win the straw poll in Saturday's Washington State Caucus.
Romney got a lead in early results, with more than 35 percent of the vote, and he held onto that lead as bigger counties started reporting their straw poll results.
Challengers Ron Paul and Rick Santorum were running nearly even behind him.
While the straw poll results were not binding, they indicate the preferences of the participants in the caucus, and "it would be fair" to expect that the numbers reflect how the delegates will vote in the upcoming district, county and state caucuses, said Washington State Republican Chairman Kirby Wilbur.
In a prepared statement, Romney signaled that he is looking forward to the campaign in the fall.
"The voters of Washington have sent a signal that they do not want a Washington insider in the White House. They want a conservative businessman who understands the private sector and knows how to get the federal government out of the way so that the economy can once again grow vigorously."
Read his .
Romney's state party co-chairman, former State Sen. Dino Rossi, said before the final results were released that the campaign was pleased with Washington's results.
"I think a lot of people are saying, 'We're running a race against Barack Obama, and let's get on with it,'" Rossi said.
He said that Romney's supporters in were able to make the case to those who were not strongly in favor of the former Massachusetts governor, by touting his business experience and executive office experience.
"By the time we were done, we were 12 votes for Romney, and none for anyone else," Rossi said.
Rossi said that support for Romney in this state was strong, with Thursday night's fundraiser at Meydenbauer Center drawing three times the expected donations, and more than the expected number of RSVPs.
Though final numbers were not in, state Republicans were expecting a turnout of about 50,000 participants in the caucus, Wilbur said.
According to Wilbur, the turnout for the caucus heavily exceeded 2008 numbers, which brought in just under 14,000 participants, which he said bodes well for Republicans in the fall – and doesn't bode well for Democrats.
"Give me 50,000 volunteers anytime," he said.
Republicans gathered in community centers and schools all over the state Saturday morning for the precinct caucuses, which had people lining up out the doors at some locations with much higher turnout than in previous years. The Puget Sound Patch sites covered the caucuses live, .
In the Leota/Wellington precincts, a caucus hosted by former city council candidate, Al Taylor drew four times the number of people from previous years. "Our neighborhoods seem to be firmly committed to the goal of replacing Pres. Obama in November and to my personal amazement were already overwhelmingly committed to one GOP candidate in the polling," Taylor posted on Woodinville Patch.
At a caucus on Avondale, newly elected Cottage Lake delegate Greg Warner said more than 60 people showed up, representing eight precincts. More than 140 people showed up at Frost Elementary in Kirkland where eight Kirkland precincts and three Woodinville precincts gathered (Kirkland Patch Editor Greg Johnston covered that event, ).
More attention has been put on the Washington state caucus than in past years, because of the hotly contested GOP presidential nomination process. Though Romney has been widely considered to be the front-runner, Santorum has won four of the 11 state contests so far, with Romney taking six states and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich taking one state.
Washington also is the only state that held a caucus on Saturday, and the results give a boost to the winner leading up to next week's Super Tuesday, when Republicans in 10 states will decide which candidate to back in the election against President Obama.
Wilbur said that Romney's win in the state, despite variable polling and different results nationwide, was an indicator that Republicans had been undecided about Romney.
"They were waiting for Mitt Romney to make the sale," Wilbur said.
Wilbur said that Washington state's news on Saturday can only be good news for Romney.
"It appears to be four in a row. Nobody's made four in a row yet," Wilbur said.

Elkhart County deputies are searching for a robbery suspect after a man was robbed in his garage. The robbery happened in the Karington Kove neighborhood near CR-13 and CR-18 around 4:45pm on Tuesday.
Authorities say an armed man demanded money and hurt the victim during a short struggle.
Police have not released a description of the suspect, but do say they are looking for a dark-colored passenger car that have been involved in the robbery.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department Detective Bureau at 574-891-2300.

Crews began pouring concrete Wednesday to replace failed panels at a Central Arizona Project breach site near Bouse.
CAP employees have been around the clock with contract help to get the system back into operation, said CAP spokesman Bob Barrett.
The problem was initially noticed last month, when water operators monitoring the water deliveries noticed a drop of about one foot in that section of the system. State Route 72 was closed for a time in the wake of the breach so crews could clear dirt and rocks fro the highway.
All pumping from the Colorado River was stopped.
CAP continued to make normal deliveries to its customers from water it has stored in Lake Pleasant, Barrett said.
The current projection is that all concrete work will be completed this weekend, Barrett said. The concrete will cure for three days and then about 2.5 feet of water will be let into Pool 1 on Oct. 19. The schedule calls for increasing the depth over a two-week period.
CAP will be able to resume deliveries on day three, Oct. 22, when the depth of the water is 5 1/2 feet. By Nov. 1, the water will be the normal 16 1/2 feet deep and the flow will be 3,000 cubic feet per second, according to Barrett.

University of Maine Cooperative Extension is offering FAMACHA workshops this spring for sheep and goat producers interested in learning more about an internal parasite of small ruminants. The practical workshops will show producers how to determine the degree of infection from the barber pole worm (Haemonchus contorutus) by observing the blood color of the capillaries around the eyes of sheep or goats.
The workshops will be presented by two members of UMaine Extension's sheep research team: Thomas Settlemire and Richard Brzozowski. Participants will receive an information packet and record sheets. The workshop fee is $20 per farm.
The two-hour workshops are offered three times:
- Sunday, May 19, 10 a.m.-noon, at Northeast Livestock Expo on the Windsor Fairgrounds, Windsor, Maine
- Saturday, June 1, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Maine Fiber Frolic on the Windsor Fairgrounds, Windsor, Maine
- Saturday, June 15, 2013, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., MOFGA Farm & Homestead Day, Unity, Maine
Settlemire and Brzozowski are experienced in sheep production and applied research in breeding natural resistance to the barber pole worm. When sheep and goat producers learn the FAMACHA technique and apply it to their livestock, they are apt to have a more productive herd. They also save on deworming because of this targeted approach and select those animals for breeding that are resistant.
For more information or to request disability accommodations, call 207.781.6099 or 1.800.287.1471 (in Maine only).

For a while now there has been mentions of a BlackBerry 9620 coming soon, yet there was very little information on it aside from the required UAProf listed on RIM's servers. That UAProf was listed long ago and showed that it's an OS 7.1 QWERTY device but now know what it looks like, what the full specs are, and for sure that it's headed Nextel Mexico as they've listed it on their site.
The image above is of course, the full spec sheet and as expected it's meant to be a cost-effective device for those looking to get into a BlackBerry smartphone. Pricing and actual release date have not been announced but Nextel Mexico has it pegged for release in December and is inviting those interested in purchasing one to sign up to be notified of availability. It's no BlackBerry 10 device but hey, it'll serve its intended purpose just fine! Thanks, Bloxter!
Wouldn't the 9790 be pretty much the same thing??? I suppose this is the cdma version.
The Me Nov 26, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Non-touch screen version making it cheaper.
Ahh good point. Better battery life as well.
ajst222 Nov 28, 2012 at 4:59 pm
And this has a better processor
kupfernigk Nov 27, 2012 at 10:24 am
I wonder if RIM is repositioning all the BB 7 devices to be non-touch once BB 10 launches? It would make sense and reduce costs.
visiterfromcrackberry Nov 27, 2012 at 4:41 pm
It says "GSM" on the spec sheet, so its not CDMA, which is odd, Nextel here in the States is run on Sprint's network, which is CDMA... Interesting..
Jake Storm Nov 26, 2012 at 8:14 pm
Love the gold!
Geeoff Nov 26, 2012 at 8:56 pm
I wish this was available in Canada. It would be perfect for my dad who is retired and just needs a simple cell phone. I would even consider purchasing it for myself if I needed to save some money!
The Me Nov 26, 2012 at 8:58 pm
9320 man. 150-200$.
WTangoFoxtrot Nov 26, 2012 at 9:00 pm
would recommend the 9320 instead, great work horse, tough as a brick and battery can last half a week !
WTangoFoxtrot Nov 26, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Qualcom PPT ? Its a push to talk phone !
Hey, look, it's the same phone again!
doesn't look like any blackberry ive seen before... you scrape off the logos to any random 10 droids i would have no idea who made that phone. blackberry devices serve a purpose to a specific kind of person and each of these people who buy one have a limit to how much they can spend on a cell phone.
Hey, look, another BB fan in denial!
You must be kidding me saying that it doesn't look like any BB done before. It looks like a Curve 9360 mixed with a Bold 97xx.
And please, there's also Android phones for lower price points.
You guys will do anything to defend RIM but face it, it's a shit company and they will die soon enough because BB10 is nothing spectacular. At least, you didn't mark BlackBerry By Choice at the end of your post. That thing is absolutely ridiculous and another invention of the CrackBerry Cult of Denial.
If only RIM could innovate again.
Masahiro Nov 26, 2012 at 10:08 pm
Arrggh! I'm angry!!!
You should! Because BlackBerry is crap!
Rootbrian Nov 28, 2012 at 3:45 pm
You are crappworld! Trolling with intent is bad!! SHAME on you!
k-fos Nov 26, 2012 at 10:31 pm
RIM a shit company? pfff. stfu.
I have more respect for this company and it's founders than you'll ever be able to understand. maybe you have no idea what kind of contributions RIM has made to Canada, especially in waterloo. If you did, maybe you'd show a little respect.
btw, this shit company has made me over 4 grand in the last 30 days. Apple just tells me the 6month old imac is a pile of crap now and google just tries to sell me ads. My BlackBerry wants to make me money. I gave up on MS years ago - such a waste of time.
Thanks RIM. Keep up the good work - in and outside of the phone business.
RIM has become a shit company in regards to the products they put out. I know they made great things for Waterloo and Canada.
In any case, tell me how you couldn't have done that 4 grand otherwise?
It is just best not to respond to KQ17. If you haven't figured it out, the android section of the smart phone world is getting a bit nervous these days. With the exception of Samsung who is willing to put massive amounts of resources into making this mediocre piece of software work, everyone else can't make a plug nickel. It doesn't matter what market your competing in. Let's face it, RIM is the competition and they don't like it. Just tell KQ17 that they are great, everything is OK and of course they are right. It makes them happy and they will die a slow death as a result their own arrogance.
Exactly. 'Droid fans love their 'open' malware with all their customization and falshing ROMs or whatever it is they do. They have zero business sense and don't realise their fav OS is only popular becuase its 'free'. But its not sustainable. So its great they get all those apps and widgets but it really means nothing and could disappear on them overnight and they would never even know why or what happened. I'll be laughing thats for sure, not cause I like to see others upset but like you said, their own arrogance and the irony of it all.
Thanks for assuming I'm a fan of Android just because I mentioned their presence at lower price points. Anyway, it's fun you speak about money since it's been a while RIM has made money LOL
"they are great, everything is OK and of course they are right. It makes them happy and they will die a slow death as a result their own arrogance."
Just about what will happen to RIM.
So, you are saying I should just ignore your previous posts and now pretend your a BB owner. OK, got it.
FlashFlare11 Nov 27, 2012 at 1:17 am
What exactly are you doing here on CrackBerry, may I ask? And who exactly did you expect to find here? Fandroids?
RIM is the first company I've ever gained a level of respect for. I've never admired a company and people from a company such as RIM before, but they truly deserve it. They stood in front of the world, took the ridicule and criticism, and are not, in any way, ready to fold. It's a company that has always acted and conducted its businesses in an ethical manner, which is more than I can say for Apple or Google. And that's only part of the reason why I want to see RIM succeed.
Let's talk in a year about who's innovating. RIM is doing things no one else in the industry is undertaking. That's called innovation, and soon, they'll show the world.
well put Flashfare11. I agree completely.
Well said. There are few technology companies that can pull off what RIM has done. It takes alot of guts to look yourself in the mirror and make the changes required to elevate your competitiveness. It all comes down to good management and RIM has this in spades. I have said it before but Thor is the best CEOs in the industry.
I'm here because I used to have a Bold 9000 and have a PlayBook.
And no, I don't give a shit about Fandroids or else, I would be on Android Central.
The task is too big for RIM. They will fail. Nobody gives a shit about BlackBerry nowadays, even here in Canada. R.I.P. RIM.
OK, I believe you President Obama.
--TommesJay-- Nov 27, 2012 at 3:42 am
"...because BB10 is nothing spectacular."
Hey, look, another Fandroid who thinks Android-manufacturers can simply copy BB10-Features with a skin because he doesn't understand them at all.
You have to understand that we BlackBerry enthusiasts have a different definition of "spectacular", because we're not dumb like you. To catch the attention of a Fandroid is simple, just:
1. Buy the latest specs hardware and build a slate out of it that looks good.
2. Build a 'spectacular' skin on top of Android. The more ressource-wasting graphics effects it has, the better. 3D homescreens do real magic here.
I'll just name a few things BB10 is capable of that Android can't copy:
- the engine behind the keyboard, it's patented
- QNX, which brings
- realtime multitasking
- power efficiency
- the BlackBerry Hub
- highest stability and reliability
- BlackBerry Balance for BYOD and enterprise
To the table.
The biggest thing you can't copy with a skin is the Invocation Framework. I don't think you heard anything about this, because it's something invisible to date that's working under the hood of BB10, but this will make things happen, nobody ever experienced on a mobile device before.
And now, grab a Droid DNA with 8-10 hrs battery life and a laggy homescreen and browser scrolling although it has a quad core Snapdragon (thanks to that ridiculous 5" 1080p screen) and play with it. With a wall charger plugged in.
Hey look, you don't know what I am but you assume I'm an Frandroid based on nothing or maybe because I said there's Android phones at the same price point?
-The engine behind the keyboard is SwiftKey and has been available on Android for a while now.
-Realtime Multitasking is a real advantage.
-Power efficiency is good on WPhones and pretty decent on most -iPhones(the 5 seems to have some issues apparently).
-BlackBerry Hub? There's the Notification Bar in Android, Notification Center in iOS and the Start Screen is pretty decent, although you can expect some changes next year. BBHub is cool because everything is integrated there but in the end, it won't take more time for someone on other platforms to get stuff done.
-iOS is mostly stable as is WP. Android is... depends on the model. But I have a PB and if it's anything like the PB... it's not that stable. Lots of crashes and not exactly reliable.
-BBBalance is cool. Only similar stuff would be Kid's Corner on WP8 in the sense that you have a "parallel world" on your phone but it's much more limited.
And I don't give a shit about the Droid DNA. That's assuming I'm American, which I'm not and assuming I prefer Android, which is wrong. The DNA is a beauty screen with nothing else to support it. A waste of a phone hidden behind that screen. Hilariously enough, idiots will buy it just because of the 1080p screen while the BBs will stay in their boxes. :)
Now, f*** off will ya?
shootsscores Nov 27, 2012 at 1:06 pm
I've rarely had my PB crash on me and that's after over 18 months of being powered up 24/7. Excellent little mobile computing powerhouse that when bridged to my 9650 is unmatched by anything on the market. Can't wait for BB10.
WTangoFoxtrot Nov 26, 2012 at 9:21 pm
not sure what your looking at but PPT is a completely different technology. This phone looks like a successor to the 8330i push-to-talk phone
i overlooked this - even more to my point - blackberry continues to release devices that suit specific industries, lifestyles, professions and budgets.
nice. this looks like a badass bastard child of a 9790 and a 9320. i like this. probably would have bought it if it was available when i got my 9790. i was really leaning towards the 9320 except i couldn't get past the limited ram/storage of the 9320. This would have fit perfect into my needs/budget for a smartphone... and the 1.2ghz processor - beats the 1.0 in the 9790. the glossy swoosh on the side looks good. green highlights would better suit my company colours.
Jimcmf Nov 26, 2012 at 9:38 pm
Bring on the 9620 !!!!
Go RIM Go. !
--TommesJay-- Nov 27, 2012 at 3:49 am
You're just an ignorant american kid who doesn't know anything about the world beyond north american borders, do you? Ever imagined there are emerging markets out there where still is a lot of demand for phones like this? Who the fuck has made it a law that a good company only manufactures top notch phones?
I'm not American (not that there's anything wrong with being one). Where do you see that you fucking moron? What do you know about me to make such ridiculous assumptions?
I know there's emerging markets. It's not a reason to ship them the same phone over and over again.
And the other company who relied on emerging markets, Nokia, is also in a difficult situation. The good thing is that they actually innovate.

Mods don't like people like you. Lol.
TheBlackberryUser33 Nov 26, 2012 at 10:29 pm
R.I.P. Troll.
Denial is bad, m'kay?!
The eloquence of your detailed argument has swayed me. RIM bad and Android good. Now go to sleep little one. Everything will be the same in the morning.
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Nov 27, 2012 at 2:53 am
I'm on this site everyday but without looking it up I really don't know how many curves there are
I wish other companies cared about communication like RIM did. They are bringing people together and making the world a smaller place which is a good thing. That phone looks like it packs a punch. BB7s got a lof of life left in it. Best communication devices on the market.
togardergrosse Nov 27, 2012 at 6:44 am
Even I was surprised that they released the BBM Voice Chat functions.
BBOS will be here to stay.. at least until a couple more years.
Yes, the BlackBerry world is an increasingly smaller place.
rustiphicles Nov 27, 2012 at 7:10 am
Anyone who gets excited over this must have some sort of special needs...
Dude, the curve is the workhorse of the BlackBerry line. It is a price point phone that performs basic core functions. It has great battery life and is highly reliable. Best of all you can beat the crap out of this device and it keeps on ticking. Believe it or not, these are attributes that most of world considers desirable. Run along.
rustiphicles Nov 27, 2012 at 10:10 am
Using cheap materials to construct a cheaply made phone is no excuse for any company. There ain't no fanboying for any lobby for me, I'm using a bold 9900 to write this and I use an ipod touch for the funner things in mobile. I'm just saying enough with the crap phones and simplify the product lines. How many curves have come out since the 3g and how many of them look exactly the same as the last one...
Boom. Well said.
The curve is a basic, highly modifiable smartphone. It can be plugged into a variety of carrier networks whose specification vary. Apple as we speak is apparently building an equally cheap (price point) and tunable phone. It is suppossed to be released in Spring. But I guess when they do it, its revolutionary.
rustiphicles Nov 27, 2012 at 3:12 pm
It will somewhat be revolutionary in the fact that it'll look and feel a million times better in your hands and will force rim to innovate it's low end phone lines to not feel like they melted plastic tonka trucks to make it. You do realize that if apple gets into the low end market with a decent phone at a decent price point rim is done. Do you think africans would pick up yet another curve that hasn't changed appearances or done anything special to the line over angry birds and the sexiness of apple. Get your head out of thorstein's butt there buddy.
beau326 Nov 27, 2012 at 4:22 pm
rustiphicles Nov 27, 2012 at 4:41 pm
I think they prefer to be called special needs... That was awfully rude of you
Not only it is rude but it's insanely hilarious how people on this website react when facing the truth hahahahaha
Did I hurt your feelings?! LOL RIM SUCKS!
rustiphicles Nov 27, 2012 at 7:33 pm
I actually want to see rim succeed. They definately won't be number 1 any time soon but as a canadian I'd love to see them thrive. I do like their higher end devices, ie I use a bold 9900 and love the machine, I just don't see them succeeding with crap phones like that. Just think of it like this, rim does a lot of good things but those successes keep getting overshadowed by crap like this. And the fanboys you see here are no different than apple or android bitches... They're just flowing in the golden shower of those OS' dominance.
Agreed. I actually think BB10 phones will be good. I just don't know if it's gonna be enough. There's nothing really revolutionary.
lobitomalo Nov 28, 2012 at 1:34 pm
sorry guys, but the blackberry worst I've had in my life was nextel, and believe me, the most expensive too, not only the service was bad, if the smartphone was obsolete as soon finalize my contract ran out, nextel is a lousy carrier, and the phone will be frowned upon entry, for the simple fact of not being a BB10
AroundGadget Nov 28, 2012 at 1:37 pm
This may be a breakthrough from blackberry to compete in the market http://www.aroundgadget.com/2012/11/spec-blackberry-9620-patagonia.html
Rootbrian Nov 28, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Now THAT is a beefed up curve!! Never seen one THAT good in specs. :D

Ben Stiller
With parents as funny as Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, Ben Stiller was destined to make a career. He made his acting debut on a Broadway stage after dropping out of UCLA and his first film, Hot Pursuit, which starred his real-life pops, in 1987. He left a writing gig at Saturday Night Live after only five weeks, but his disillusionment motivated him to create his own sketch show. The short-lived Ben Stiller Show introduced the world to Stiller, Bob Odenkirk, David Cross and Janeane Garofalo and won a writing Emmy after it was cancelled by FOX. He splits his time between acting (Flirting With Disaster, Dodgeball, Greenberg), directing (Reality Bites, Cable Guy, Zoolander), doing charity work for Project A.L.S. and Haiti relief, and raising two kids, Ella and Quinlin, with his wife, actress Christine Taylor. While his most memorable projects like There's Something About Mary and Tropic Thunder tend to go for raunchy, self-deprecating and edgy laughs, Stiller has made quite a name for himself in the family-friendly arena with the Fockers, Madagascar and Night At the Museum franchises. He received the 26th American Cinematheque award for career achievement in 2012.

TAZEWELL (WVVA) - One person was airlifted with serious injuries and two others transported to a nearby hospital after a single-vehicle crash on Route 460 in Tazewell County Sunday evening.
According to the Tazewell County Sheriff's Department, the crash occurred when the vehicle lost control and slid several hundred feet before striking a snow bank.
Black ice may have been a factor in the crash.
Two people inside the vehicle were transported to Carilion Tazewell Community Hospital. A third victim had to be extricated from the vehicle and was airlifted to a Tennessee hospital.
The extent of the victims' injuries is unknown at this time.
There were no other vehicles involved. The crash remains under investigation.

|Command line arguments for Stitcher
Tim Brown
Posted: Jun 1, 2012Total Posts: 54
Can someone post a list of available command line arguments for the Stitcher. In particular a list of the commands to use the 'timestitch' feature for aligning time-series gigapans would be great.
Paul Heckbert
Posted: Aug 23, 2012Total Posts: 33
Re command line arguments for Stitch, see the Technical Manual:
Re time lapse gigapans, read on:
My colleague Paul Dille (a different Paul) now has software so that you can create your own zoomable time lapse videos for modest-sized image sets. (If you have many thousands of frames then this tool might not be practical – it might require too many days or weeks of computer time – but you could still give it a try on a smaller test).
If you have followup questions, I suggest you contact Paul Dille at the address below.
-Paul Heckbert
From: Paul Dille <firstname.lastname@example.com>
The Time Machine Creator software is now out the door and released to the general public. Feel free to share with your friends and blog about it.
This release is a good 2x faster than the previous one, so creating fairly large time machines should be feasible on normal PCs.
If you have feedback or suggestions, feel free to post on the Time Machine Creator google group, https://sites.google.com/a/gigapan.org/timelaps…

Prevent Kidney Disease
Learn more to reduce your risk of kidney disease and take the pledge to #preventkidneydisease.
New York, NY
January 11, 2007
Most Americans know that heart disease and cancer can be silent killers and understand that monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol and having regular mammograms are critical to protecting their health. Too few adults—and not enough doctors—realize, however, that Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is another common, life-threatening illness that often goes undetected until very advanced when it could be diagnosed early through simple tests.
Twenty million Americans (1 in 9 adults) suffer from CKD and another 20 million are at risk. Worse, today's epidemics of diabetes and obesity could contribute to even higher rates of CKD in the future. Undiagnosed and untreated, CKD can lead to serious health problems including kidney failure (end-stage renal disease). Caught early, it can often be managed, and kidney damage can be slowed or stopped. That's why early testing for people at risk is so important.
In preparation for National Kidney Month (March 2007) and World Kidney Day (March 8), the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) offers this 6-step primer for protecting health
Most people with early CKD have no symptoms, which is why early testing is critical. By the time symptoms appear, CKD may be advanced, and symptoms can be misleading. Pay attention to these:
If you or a loved one belong to a high-risk group, ask your primary-care physician about these tests—and be especially insistent about the last one. Your doctor may want to perform other tests as well.
4 Simple, Life-Saving Tests:
What: Blood Pressure
Why: High blood pressure can damage small blood vessels (glomeruli) in the kidneys. It is the second-leading cause of kidney failure after diabetes.
Good Score: Below 140/90 is good for most people. Below 130/80 is better if you have chronic kidney disease. Below 120/80 is best.
What: Protein in Urine
Why: Traces of a type of protein, albumin in urine (albuminuria) is an early sign of CKD. Persistent amounts of albumin and other proteins in the urine (proteinuria) indicate kidney damage.
Good Score: Less than 30 mg of albumin per gram of urinary creatinine (a normal waste product)
What: Creatinine in Blood (Serum Creatinine)
Why: Healthy kidneys filter creatinine (a waste product from muscle activity) out of the blood. When kidney function is reduced, creatinine levels rise.
Good Score: 0.6 to 1.2 mg per deciliter of blood, depending on other variables
What: Glomular Filtration Rate (GFR)
Why: This is the most sensitive and accurate gauge of kidney function. Doctors measure blood creatinine levels and perform a calculation based on age, race, and gender.
Good Score: Over 90 is good. 60-89 should be monitored. Less than 60 for 3 months indicates CKD.
