xG® Technology, Inc. Receives INTERNET TELEPHONY® Magazine's Twelfth Annual Product of the Year Award
xMax® Mobile VoIP & Broadband Technology Recognized for Outstanding Innovation
Sarasota, FL, (Feb. 24, 2010) — xG® Technology, Inc. ("xG") announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC®) INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine has named xMax® as a recipient of its 2009 Product of the Year Award. xMax is a new cellular infrastructure that employs smart radio technology to improve the utilization of the nation's airwaves—potentially saving consumers money by allowing the delivery of affordable mobile VoIP and broadband services across free spectrum.
"INTERNET TELEPHONY is proud to grant xG Technology a 2009 Product of the Year Award for their xMax Mobile VoIP. xG has proven its commitment to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "We're happy to recognize and honor xG for their development of IP communications technology. We look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future."
As demand for bandwidth-consuming services used by more and more people leads to clogged airwaves, some experts have begun to predict that demand for mobile services will surpass the spectrum available to meet it. This spectrum crunch has spurred innovation in advanced radio technology and renewed interest in reclaiming spectrum that was once considered too crowded and interference-prone to deliver in-demand service such as mobile broadband and VoIP.
xMax was built from the ground up to be all-IP. It is built to offer the reliability, scalability, and flexibility to deliver advanced voice and data services required today. xMax represents the first fully mobile VoIP infrastructure available to the market. It answers the need for a system to deliver high-QoS (quality of service) voice and mobile data services over an all-IP network. Other wireless technologies are primarily data-centric and were not developed with mobile VoIP in mind. Consequently they must be operated in conjunction with a circuit-switched 2G network to offer voice services. By contrast, xMax was designed to enable and prioritize high-quality voice and data transmissions across a single network with a view to saving operational costs.
Using cognitive radio technology, xG has designed the xMax platform to operate in the 902–928 MHz unlicensed band. Because xMax operates in free, unlicensed spectrum instead of extremely costly licensed spectrum, it can be deployed with significantly lower CAPEX costs than alternative systems. These lower costs can ultimately be realized by consumers.
For deployment partners seeking to provide advanced mobile voice and broadband Internet services, xMax offers very compelling economics to drive customer uptake, including low costs and a rapidly deployable infrastructure. These benefits make xMax an extremely efficient way to build and roll out broadband wireless networks.
"We are pleased to be recognized by TMC for our mobile VoIP and broadband technology," said Rick Mooers, Chairman and CEO of xG Technology. "This award further demonstrates that the numerous benefits and advantages provided by xMax will help usher in a new era of lower cost wireless services."
A complete list of Product of the Year winners is published in the February 2010 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine, (www.itmag.com). INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the authority in IP communication since 1998™.

Have you ever gone camping at a high elevation during the winter? If it's REALLY
cold and you have a choice of sitting in a cold tent or sitting in the sun, most
people will choose the sunlight for warmth. Dogs kept outside will, too. However,
if your car breaks down on Interstate 10 in July, you wouldn't sit in the car with
the windows rolled up. You would soon be driven from your vehicle to seek shade
some place where you could have exposure to a little breeze or at least a lower
temperature than inside your car.
It's the same principle with a dog house. Shelter in the form of a small, confined
area is great during the winter when a dog is trying to stay warm at night or get
in out of the rain. However, in our area where temperatures soar to over 115° during
the day, the idea of lying inside a small dog house and baking during the heat of
the day is not inviting. In fact, it's illegal.
Heat stroke KILLS animals just like people. Pets must have adequate ventilation
and temperature relief no matter where they are. Owners who do not provide adequate
shelter/shade or leave their pets in vehicles during our hot summers will be cited
for cruelty in Pinal County.
Even in a human home where ventilation and temperature should not be a problem there
can be other issues. One is overcrowding. How would you like to live in a small
cage with other animals, standing or lying on a wire grate? If you've ever spent
the day at a park and rested your elbows on the metal picnic table with those little
ridges in it, you know how sore that can make your skin.
Think about not being able to stand or lie down on anything but wire - EVER.
There are some things that animal control agencies across the country can and cannot
regulate. Puppy mills are one of the current hot topics. These dogs belonged to
a breeder in the Apache Junction area and had been bred to the point of damaging
their health.
Pregnant and nursing pets need more food by volume and nutrition than normal. Over-
breeding can cause serious immediate and long term health problems. When calcium
is drawn from the mother's own system, her bones become frail and tooth deterioration
begins. If the female is not spayed, she will continue to produce puppies every
six months until she suffers irreversable health problems which will ultimately
shorten her life.
This poor mama had been left to survive on her own for far too long. Based on her
estimated age, she had probably delivered anywhere from 48 to 60 puppies in her
lifetime. The effects are obvious.
As a pet owner, it is not enough to simply give your pet a little food and water
and nothing more. Regular vet visits and spaying or neutering your pets is a must.

If for no other reason, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" deserves credit for providing the takeaway dialogue line of the year: "Nessie? You named my baby after the Loch Ness Monster?" Since the infant has been named Renesmee, what mother would so mistake her infant's nickname?
There are other laughs as this fifth and finally final installment grinds to a conclusion, but "Breaking Dawn, Part 2" must be one of the more serious entries in any major movie franchise. I suspect its audience, which takes these films very seriously indeed, will drink deeply of its blood. The sensational closing sequence cannot be accused of leaving a single loophole, not even some we didn't know were there.
This movie begins right after "Part 1" ended, and indeed director Bill Condon shot the films back to back. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) awakens after giving birth to little Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy), the half-human, half-vampire daughter who was fathered by — but let's not get into that. Having now been fully transformed into a vampire to prevent her death in childbirth, Bella also has been miraculously transformed into a much more interesting character, physically superb and emotionally uninhibited.
We see the new Bella in an entertaining sequence when her husband, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), takes her on a test drive, so to speak, as a vampire. She can run from place to place instantaneously, see details of nature in great and speeded-up detail, win in hand-to-paw combat with a mountain lion and has a taste for blood. That point is made in a scene when she and Edward see a mountain climber slip and dangle from his rope. In a flash, she's climbing the mountain barehanded, and my hopelessly idealistic assumption is that she was racing to save his life. Not precisely.
Edward shows Bella their new honeymoon cottage, which unlike most brides, she decides is "perfect" even before looking inside. When she does, it's stocked with wall to wall books, and you'll never guess which one she eventually takes down from its shelf. Never ever.
Edward and Bella spend a great deal of time posed around a living room with such as Jacob (Taylor Lautner), Emmett (Kellan Lutz), and a roll call of other major vampires (the movie ends with photo credits for every actor in the series). They exchange a great deal more dialogue than I required, but students of the Stephenie Meyer novels, who made this 700-page-plus volume a best-seller, really like that stuff, I guess.
The depiction of little Renesmee is rather curious. I learn that special effects were modeled on the actress to age her, and sometimes she looks a little curious to me. Also to her grandfather, Charlie Swan (Billy Burke), who observes, "My, how you've grown! You must be six inches taller!" And so she seems, although by my reckoning, it happened between Thanksgiving and Christmas. A human child like that, you take to see a specialist.
All leads up to a fraught climax between the Washington State vampires and the leaders, an Italian-based group named the Volturi, presented with some of the same trappings as an order of monks. They seem to be in charge of the vampire world, and are concerned that their secrets will get out now that a half-breed has been born among them. They're led by Aro (Michael Sheen), who even among top vampires, has an impressive presence. A few hundred Volturi square off against several dozen international vampires across a vast snowy plain, while one of the vampires says, "The redcoats are coming!" Well, he can be forgiven his mistake; he fought in earlier British invasions.
Look, the "Twilight" series is not my thing. As I wrote of "Twilight" (2008), "It's about a teenage boy trying to practice abstinence, and how, in the heat of the moment, it's really, really hard. And about a girl who wants to go all the way with him and doesn't care what might happen. He's so beautiful she would do anything for him. She is the embodiment of the sentiment, 'I'd die for you.' She is, like many adolescents, a thanatophile."
I have now seen something like 10 hours about these vampires as they progress through immortality, and I'd rather see either version of "Nosferatu" that many times. I must admit if you're going to bring the series to a close, "Part 2" does it about as well as it can be done. It must be hard for Summit Entertainment to drop the final curtain on a series that has grossed billions, but it bit the bullet, and I imagine fans will be pleased.

Mitt Romney's credibility gap calls into question his suitability to be President of the United States. Voters have no idea which Mitt would inhabit the White House. His stance on many major policies are ever changing according to the audience he wants to persuade.
It is simply not true, no matter how often Republican candidates declare, that the Obama health care law represents socialized medicine or that it took over one-sixth of the economy. Socialized medicine is a single-payer system, in which the government pays medical bills and controls costs (much like Medicare.). President Obama refused to commit to single-payer health care system,
against the wishes of Liberal Democrats. Instead, Obama's proposed law,hoping to draw the support of Republicans, was modeled closely on the law passed by
Romney when he was governor of Massachusetts; this is an inconvenient fact that
Romney tries hard to ignore. Both plans try to deal with the problem of the uninsured by requiring an individual mandate. Originally Romney, the Heritage
Foundation and conservatives over the past two decades felt that the mandate
encouraged individual responsibility. Now it's a government takeover.
And so on day one Mitt Romney will try to reverse Obamacare and in so doing would deny access to health care to 40,000,000 Americans
On foreign policy, the President has done everything that Republicans said was important:
- Kept us safe from attacks at home
- Eliminated Osama bin Laden
- Got our troops out of Iraq
- Decimated Al Qaeda, not by going starting an unnecessary war in Iraq where Al Qaeda didn't exist but by going after them in Pakistan and Afghanistan where they actually were
And yet Romney paints the President as weak on foreign policy. At the same time, in the third debate, Romney said that he agreed with the President's foreign policy.
On the issue of a two-state solution in Palestine, Romney said in a private recorded conversation that because the Palestinians only want to see the destruction of Israel, the problem will remain unresolved. He said "and we
kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will
happen and resolve it". And yet, in his foreign policy speech, Gov. Romney said— "Finally, I will recommit America to the goal of a democratic, prosperous Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with the Jewish state of Israel. On this vital issue, the President has failed".
In a period of a month, Romney's position on Libya evolved into distinct
contradictory ones. In March of 2011, Romney criticized the Obama Administration for being weak and too slow to get
involved. When the U.S. and our NATO allies enforced a no-fly zone to help rebels oust Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, Romney refused to answer reporter's questions on his own position. Then in April Romney posted and op-ed at
Nationalreview.com in which he said that he agreed with President Obama's
"specific, limited mission" but then criticized Obama for getting further
involved in what Romney termed "mission creep".
First the President is too weak and slow and then he didn't go far enough. We have no idea what Romney feels on the issue. He is too erratic and inconsistent. Is this the person we want running our country's foreign policy?
As far as job creation, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas said during the Republican Primary debates, "Well, Governor Romney left the private sector, and he did a great job of creating jobs in the private sector all around the world. But the fact is, when he moved that experience to government, he had one of the lowest job creation rates in the country. So the fact is, while he had a good private sector record, his public sector record did not match that."
Perhaps that was true because Bain Capital did not create jobs. It created wealth for its investors. In fact in January of this year, Republican candidate Newt Gingrich called the Romney's former private equity firm "exploitive." The Bain model has meant "leverage the game, borrow the money, leave the debt behind and walk off with all the profits."
Romney refuses to acknowledge the facts of the Great Recession that President Obama inherited. And he offers no concrete alternatives to job creation. In January of 2009, when Obama took office, this country lost 700,000 jobs. The recession killed off 7.9 million jobs, many of which may never come back. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that the recession, which began in December 2007, officially ended in June 2009. Job recovery has been slow but the huge
monthly losses were stopped and reversed by the President. What single man could have completely reversed the job losses in this short period of time? Had Congress done its job and passed some of the American Jobs Act, progress surely would have been faster. Economists today say that no matter who becomes president in 2012, over 12 million jobs will be added in the coming decade
due to policies that were put in place during the past 4 years.
On the issue of women's rights, I've seen claims on this website that there is no Republican war on women. However, the facts contradict this. Since the day the Republicans took control of the House in January, 2011 they have attempted to pass legislation that affects our health. As an example, House bill H.R. 358 or the "Protect Life Act" would have amended the part of the 2010 health care that deals with abortion coverage. It would allow hospitals that receive federal funds but are opposed to abortions to turn away women in need of emergency pregnancy termination to save their lives.
Mitt Romney supports the Personhood Amendment that several states have tried to pass into law. In fact, this embryo personhood concept is included in the Republican platform. This amendment to state constitutions would have changed the definition of when life begins. It states that a human being, with all its rights and privileges, exists at the point that an egg is fertilized by a sperm. Besides
outlawing all abortions, with no exceptions for rape or incest or when a woman's life is in danger, this law would affect a woman's (and her husband's) family planning. That is because it would outlaw many forms of birth control including the pill and IUDs since it would ban any contraception that may prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, including birth control pills and the IUD. There are implications of the law that include preventing embryonic cell research and closing fertility clinics.
Other evidence of a war on women include:
- Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really
be home with the kids, not out working.
- Congressvoted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country
- Republicans have introduced over twenty bills seeking to mandate that a woman obtain an ultrasound procedure before having an abortion. Of these,
seven states are trying vaginal probe type.
Moreover, no one single vote demonstrates to me the Republican legislators' and Romney's opinion of women more than their unwillingness to endorse the Lily Ledbetter Act. This Act, passed by Democrats in 2008, guarantees equal pay for equal work for women.
Newt Gingrich himself weighed in on the question of Romney's truthfulness in May 2012, on CNN's The Situation Room. Host Wolf Blitzer asked Gingrich if Romney is a liar. Gingrich said "I still believe that the
Romney campaign said things that weren't true,"
Not only has the candidate Romney changed his policy stance on many major issues but he has also misrepresented the truth about President Obama's record during his administration.
I challenge the readers, no indeed I expect, them to find any errors in this blog. But the caveat is that you must at the very least point to facts from a reputable source that discredit the statements I have made. I will not respond to any comments that do not site a source for the information or that attack other participants on this blog.

Good evening folks, may I join you in a smoke? About six months back, I was looking at a photo of me taken about a dozen years prior and wistfully reflected that my former 54' chest and 30' waist had all but reversed (ok, not quite, but you get the idea). What were once rock hard pecs were now certifiable 'moobs', and the closest thing I possessed to a six-pack resided in my fridge. Not being delusional (well, not completely), I knew that a better diet, and an exercise program that didn't solely consist of '37 gram briar curls', could reverse a good deal of this decline. Having said, rather than introducing healthy new habits, I found myself taking a bit of perverse comfort in noting that a good deal of the South Carolina populace wasn't all that far behind me, started wearing all-black clothing (great, a 55 year old 'Goth') and, following the sage advice of the late Rodney Dangerfield; "If you want to look thinner, hang out with fat... ", renewed my vow to only smoke huge pipes, such as Ardor Giants and Ashton Magnums in public. Then I rejoined Smokingpipes.com and my well-seasoned sense of complacency began to crack at the foundation...
Back in 'the good ol' days' at SPC, with the exception of Sykes who was already starting to lose weight faster than the protagonist of Stephen King's "Thinner", I was just another member of the 'male chub club'. Today, (insert maniacal cackle), pretty much every guy in the place can boast either a body fat that could convince most male models to throw in the towel, well developed muscles, or (worse) a combination of both (nobody likes a curve buster, Brandon!). The final straw for me took place when I looked at the pictures from the SPC pipe club meeting; "Hey, there's John! Adam, Jonathan, Ted, Chris... but who's the oinker in the red t-shirt? Ohdeargodthatsme!!!"
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not slagging anyone who is heavy and happy, and my motivation isn't strictly a vanity issue (four heart operations might be nature's way of telling me to lay off lard & crackers for a while). Having fit co-workers is an inspiration, I can now set firm goals/timetables for my personal physical development. Within a month I will be able to climb to the top of my 6' Craftsman ladder. I will enter and complete a 50 meter 'fun run' (I think a local pre-school sponsors one). I will also rededicate myself to observing a healthy diet... just as soon as my OX-Fam relief-sized boxes of Fritos, pretzels, and Snickers bars run out. After all, they are paid for and why waste money? Now if you will please excuse me, a new life of vigor and vitality is calling. Time to do my 157 gram curls with my 'Ardor barbell' (feel the burn, YEAH BABY!).
Here at Smokingpipes, we have big updates, and then we have really big updates. And tonight's presentation (with a total of 236 fresh offerings) definitely qualifies as the latter (that made no sense whatsoever... maybe they won't notice). Last night the spotlights fell on the Luciano and Radice lines. Luciano just unveiled four breathtakingly innovative new series, all of which feature top-tier Mediterranean plateau briar which was hand selected and seasoned by Luca di Piazza himself, as well as elegantly elongated shapes, beautiful bamboo work and a shaping aesthetic which was heretofore unknown (en masse) from Italy. These beauties come with handsome zip-up bags, posh sleeves and the information about your specific pipe inscribed on a parchment. At prices that start at a pretty modest base-line, these Lucianos can't miss. Radice just unveiled their 2013 Christmas pipes with matching tampers. In addition, for a limited time, you will receive a very gnarly tamper with each Radice pipe that you purchase. Does that mean if you purchase their Christmas pipe you will get two tampers? Yes indeed.
Tonight we headline with nine superb pipes from the legendary Tom Eltang and, while all are tempting, you really must see the one of the most impressive Horns that you are likely to encounter in your lifetime. Michal Novak, Rattray's, Ser Jacopo, Mastro de Paja and Ardor are up tonight, and the latter includes a Urano Giant Apple of Herculean proportions. Neerup, Nording, Brigham, Savinelli and Peterson also came on board in a big way, and the Irish lads even include the highly popular 'Darwin' series. Toss in (well, not literally) seventy-two fresh estates and this is one massive update. We hope you will enjoy!

Charlie Petrizzo is an amazing man. By the age of 16 almost died twice. Through all of the pain he suffered, a pet Labrador Retriever actually helped him heal. Charlie made it his life's mission to help children with special needs, by providing them with a companion dog.
Project 2 Heal was created so that puppies could be given to service organizations or by directly donating companion dogs to children with special needs and disabilities. There's never a charge to the family for the new addition to their family.
This morning on Larry's Look, Charlie Petrizzo gave us a tour of the facility at Project 2 Heal and introduced us to some of the Labrador Retrievers being trained to become a special service dog. We also met one of the little kids who'll have his own dog in a few months. Branson is almost five and is very much looking forward to having Zeke come home and stay with him. Even though Branson calls him "Geek", the two have already bonded and love each other's companionship.

- In response to a public health emergency more than 100 years ago, engineers reversed the Chicago River and built the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to carry wastewater away from Lake Michigan, the city's source of drinking water. The canal also provides a shipping link between the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes, opening navigation not only to recreational boats and commercial barges, but also to invasive species, and it diverts massive amounts of water from Lake Michigan. The unfolding Asian carp crisis reveals more than just the challenges faced by local, state, and federal agencies in stopping invasive species from entering the Great Lakes. It also exposes critical infrastructure deficiencies in the region's wastewater, stormwater, and transportation systems.Get document in pdf.
- Clearing the Waters
From the Chesapeake to California, NRDC is fighting to restore America's threatened waterways
- The United States has made significant progress cleaning up the nation's waterways since Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, but much more remains to be done. Although some of the most obvious signs of contamination have disappeared, other sources of pollution persist, and water resources are frequently overtaxed, particularly in the West.
- Fish Out of Water
How Water Management in the Bay-Delta Threatens the Future of California's Salmon Fishery
Issue Paper
- This July 2008 issue paper examines the operation of water management projects in California as one of the most significant -- and reversible -- causes of fishery collapse and provides comprehensive policy recommendations for restoring and sustaining this treasured resource.
- Restoring the San Joaquin River
Following an 18-year legal battle, a great California river once given up for dead is on the verge of a comeback.
- In the 1940s, a giant dam nearly killed California's San Joaquin River and its legendary salmon run. A court ruling could bring the river back to life, restoring the salmon fishery, providing clean irrigation water for farms and improving drinking water quality for millions of Californians.

Muskogee seems to be a city willing to study, but never take the test.
When city officials spend thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to study an issue, taxpayers should be able to expect their money's worth.
The city spent $75,000 on a study for the use of Love-Hatbox Sports Complex.
The results have been met with a lot of skepticism from some of those who have been privy to the full report.
The report made suggestions that don't quite seem to fit our city.
Among the report's suggestions:
• Build a pond and charge people to fish; and
• Build lacrosse fields.
Both ideas have flaws that should make the city skeptical of the full report.
We live in an area where it is difficult to cast a line without hitting a body of water where fishing is free.
While lacrosse comes from a Native American game, the idea of building lacrosse fields is, at best, filling a niche.
We're concerned the city will put this study in the same spot where so many seem to have gone before — in the circular file.
The city should make the full study available to the general public and allow for comment before deciding what to do next.
The City Council should not waste tens of thousands of dollars on studies it won't trust.
Studies are like advice from a friend. The more you trust that friend, the more you will pay heed to that friend's advice.
Not every word in every study is a gem, either. And not every friend's advice is worth heeding.
Studies are only as valuable as our willingness to listen.
If we can't take an objective look at studies, then we are wasting time and money.

In the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims, early settlers of Plymouth Colony, held a three-day feast to celebrate a bountiful harvest, an event many regard as the nation's first Thanksgiving.
Today, we're still feasting. Here are some facts about the holiday from the U.S. Census Bureau.
13.3 pounds
The quantity of turkey consumed by the typical American in 2009, with no doubt a hearty helping devoured at Thanksgiving time. Per capita sweet potato consumption was 5.3 pounds.
248 million
The number of turkeys expected to be raised in the United States in 2011. That's up 2 percent from the number raised during 2010. The turkeys produced in 2010 together weighed 7.11 billion pounds and were valued at $ 4.37 billion.
1.1 billion pounds
Total production of pumpkins in the major pumpkin-producing states in 2010. Illinois led the country by producing 427 million pounds of the vined orange gourd. Pumpkin patches in California, New York and Ohio also provided lots of pumpkins: Each state produced at least 100 million pounds. The value of all pumpkins produced by major pumpkin-producing states was $117 million.
Number of places in the United States named after the holiday's traditional main course. Turkey Creek, La., was the most populous in 2010, with 441 residents, followed by Turkey, Texas (421), Turkey Creek, Ariz. (294), and Turkey, N.C. (292). There are also 11 townships around the country with Turkey in their names, including three in Kansas.

- Safety and style come together in these BPA-free childproofing accessories
Doctor recommended. BPA and Phthalate free. Non-Allergenic. Latex-free. Manufactured in Sweden, in accordance with the European Union Environmental regulations and is registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Children under the age of 3 cannot blow their own nose. A child's congestion interferes with their ability to breathe, eat and sleep. Nosefrida, or the snot sucker, was developed by Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialists and pediatricians in Sweden.
Nosefrida is designed to be placed against the nostril, forming a seal, rather than interesting into the nostril like the bulb aspirators.
Nosefrida features a 15" clear plastic tube that extends from a nasal nozzle, allowing the parent to use their own suction to draw mucus out of the child's nose. A filter in the nasal nozzle prevents any exchange of mucus between child and parent. Easy to clean.

Why Christine O'Donnell Can Win the Delaware Senate Race
Something profound is going on, something into which Delaware's Christine O'Donnell has clearly tapped.
The "smart people" have apparently decided that no one is going to vote for Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell in November. This is a bit of a stretch considering that a) lots of people have already voted for her--which is how she won Tuesday's GOP primary, and b) the earliest post-election polls show her trailing her opponent, Democrat Chris Coons, by only 10 points in a race that has, thus far, only focused on O'Donnell.
Her victory has certainly resonated with someone, as evidenced by reports that she raised more than half a million dollars over the Internet in just one day after winning the primary. Something profound is going on, something into which O'Donnell has clearly tapped.
[See a slide show of 11 hot races in November.]
O'Donnell won on Tuesday by tying successfully in the minds of Republican primary voters her opponent--liberal Republican Rep. Mike Castle--to President Barack Obama. It should be abundantly clear by now that Obama's agenda is not popular with the American people, many of whom have concluded that the only way to register their disapproval with what he wants to do is by voting for whatever Republican happens to be handy. The same was true for Jimmy Carter, who not only lost his bid for re-election in 1980 but created an environment in which the Republicans were able to pick up a net of 12 U.S. Senate seats, costing the Democrats control of the chamber for the first time in a generation.
The Democrats understand, in my judgment correctly, that their continued control of the Senate is in jeopardy. With that in mind they have opened up the "scorched Earth" campaign playbook in order to brand every GOP Senate candidate they can as an extremist. How else does one explain the sudden respect, affection, and admiration that Democrats and liberal commentators are showing for defeated Senate candidates, not just in Delaware but in Alaska, Colorado, Nevada, Kentucky, and Utah? As if they would ever have voted for any of them anyway?
It is also interesting to note that some of the same people who have tied their intestines into anguished knots over the unfairness of anyone questioning President Obama's religious convictions are now making sport of those held by O'Donnell. The irony is lost on them, probably due to the overwhelming scent of desperation that fills the air.
When writing about politics and elections it is all too easy to fall victim to the temptation to conclude that since you might not vote for a particular candidate that no one else will either. This idea is best expressed in the observation attributed to the New Yorker's Pauline Kael that she could not understand how Richard Nixon had won a second term in the White House--carrying 49 of the 50 states as he did so--because no one she knew had voted for him.
The race in Delaware will close. O'Donnell may still not win but the race is not, for the moment anyway, the sure thing blowout that many commentators are gleefully suggesting.

So you find yourself in the ER or sitting in front of your Primary Care Physician {PCP} because you are experiencing some intense physicalsymptoms such as tingling in your arms, tightness in your chest, light-headedness, heart palpitations and an overall feeling of weakness. You may have felt this before and it passed, but here it is again.You felt that alarm go off in your head, a sense of dread, fear that it could be a heart attack.
Well, first, you are smart for taking action. But then your doctor checks you out, and says that all your vitals are good. He thinks it is anxiety, but wants you to have more testing. He makes the referral and you go to the hospital for further tests, just to make sure.
After all tests are done, again you are told it is anxiety, and that you are having panic attacks. You are at first relieved it is not something critical to your health, but then think, these panic attacks are horrible and you ask the doctor for medications.
The most knowledgeable physicians will instruct you to treat these anxiety symptoms with both medications and counseling. On the other hand, you may just be given meds and be sent home with a reminder to see your PCP for a follow-up appointment.
This is where it gets tricky !
If you were offered medications, such as an anti-anxiety med [ Xanax,or Ativan , etc. ] and /or an SSRI med like Zoloft or Paxil, you might feel some relief of your symptoms, at least for a while. Part of that relief might be psychological [placebo effect], but certainly some is a physical reaction to the drugs you have ingested. However, the meds are not a cure. You may go for weeks without any symptoms and you so earnestly try to convince yourself that it was just a fluke. Then the symptoms return, maybe even more intense. You call your PCP and he suggests that you increase your medications. You readily do so, but maybe some voice in your head says I need to know WHY this is happening, maybe not.
Hopefully, now your PCP suggests you see a therapist who specializes in treating Anxiety Disorders such as panic attacks, phobias, obsessive worry and compulsive behaviors.
Now, if you find the right therapist who seems knowledgable and experienced, you are finally on the right track. However, now you have more serious decisions to make. Are you going to be truly open with your therapist, let down your guard, and really explore issues and conflicts that may be triggers for your anxiety ? Are you going to be willing to take steps that are laid out between you and the therapist that so often can be uncomfortable at first ? Are you ready to make the needed changes in your life ?
Therapy works, especially when dealing with Anxiety Disorders, if you are ready to face what needs to be done to help you feel more in control of your life, because that is a KEY issue. There are most likely, and most often conflicts going on that you have repressed that are causing you to feel inner turmoil. When you avoid those issues, as you most likely have in the past, they just fester and come to the surface in the form of anxiety symptoms, a temper tantrum, or an anger outburst that just makes you feel more out of control. It is a vicious cycle that must be broken.
A reminder ! The medications may be helping, but in most cases as I have said previously, they do not actually cure the anxiety. The temptation to just take more and more meds is a real problem. You need to look at meds as a step in treatment, offering you enough temporary relief that you are in a better state of mind to identify and DEAL with issues and make changes.
This is just my experience with clients, but I have seen all too many on higher and higher doses of meds, often with the blessings of their physician or psychiatrist. My greatest concern is that at these higher dosages I also see clients experiencing side effects that actually create more anxiety, cause one to not be able to focus or concentrate, and possibly not be able to feel much of anything. These side effects can exacerbate the feelings of being out of control. Make sure to work with your therapist and PCP [or psychiatrist], and check often that they are communicating over your care.
Just a Thought !

CLINTON — Tired of absorbing the costs of solid waste customers who cancel their solid waste service and later have the cart returned, the city is looking into a solid waste cart redelivery fee.
The City Services Committee on Wednesday discussed the fee because the city has a number of customers that cancel their service only to have it restarted months later. Many of these customers are people who travel to warmer areas for the winter and don't want to be charged the $5.25 monthly solid waste fee while they are away.
"We've come into the situation where we have snow birds in town where they have it and then they return it and then they want it back and then they return it. That's a little bit of a pressure on our staff to go ahead and redeliver," City Administrator Jessica Kinser said.
She explained the cost for the city to pay two people for one hour of work to redeliver the carts costs the city $75. That figure does not account for overhead costs such as fuel.
According to city staff that fields the calls from people canceling and restarting solid waste service, around 50 people ask for carts to be redelivered a year.
Kinser told committee members it was up to them to decide if the redelivery is part of the customer service associated with the solid waste program or if they want to implement a redelivery fee.
Ward 3 Councilwoman Bev Hermann pushed for the latter.
"I think there should be an additional fee. It's not part of the service. The service is to pick up the solid waste and we got the cart to them in the first place and they have it there to use," Hermann said.
At-Large Councilman John Rowland disagreed, citing the city's potential exit from the solid waste business once the city receives proposals for providing the services.
"I'm not interested in doing anything on this because I fervently hope the quicker we got out of the garbage business, the better," Rowland said. "I'm very hopeful that in six months we'll be out of the garbage business."
The committee didn't decide on a cost for the redelivery fee, but did move the item to the next Committee of the Whole meeting for all council members to discuss.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
New Fox, NBC shows; Local comings, goings
Wake up! Don't push that snooze button on the alarm.
I didn't. Couldn't find it anyway.
I did find these freshly baked tidbits, though. Have some.
Fox announced a fall schedule that includes a new series from J.J. Abrams, with Jorge Garcia of "Lost," and a "Bones" spinoff. It cancels "The Chicago Code," "Lie to Me" and the twenty-something ensemble comedy "Traffic Light," which I thought was ... OK.
Meanwhile, here's a report that says NBC has renewed "Harry's Law" and added "Wonder Woman."
WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) reporter Lauren Leamanczyk is leaving the station at the end of May. And Tom Durian is the new WDJT-TV (Channel 58) morning anchor.
Meanwhile, WTMJ-TV hires a new investigative reporter. Rob Koebel joins the station from the Journal Broadcast Group station in Ft. Meyers. According to his bio from the station, Koebel's two-decade career has included "scoops" involving Mike Tyson, Dan Quayle, Barry Goldwater and Mark Fuhrman. He has "tracked one of the FBI's most-wanted killers," "exposed corruption, "and busted a nationwide sports memorabilia company."
Remember that iconic photo of President Obama and Hilary Clinton in the situation room watching the raid on Osama bin Laden's residence in Pakistan? One paper edited Hilary out of the photo. Here's why.
How did Sarah Silverman end up on "The Good Wife" last night? The show's creators explain.
Warren Buffett makes a cameo appearance on "The Office," as an applicant for Michael Scott's job. This is apparently payback for when the show's cast filmed a comedy skit for Buffett's shareholders.
And I'm taking suggestions for a place to take a college grad to dinner in Minneapolis. Must be a fun and rowdy place where we can have the loudest table. Thanks.
See you this afternoon.

What is Spot UV and How Can It Make My Card Fantastic?
Spot UV illuminates select words or designs so that they reflect and gleam in the light, giving the card a multi-textured look and feel. We only provide our Spot UV services for our business cards, and the most premium ones! The cards are super thick (16pt) and sturdy, and have a smooth semi gloss texture without shine. Spot UV is applied only onto the most selective and important surface areas of the card, illuminating icons such as your logo, business name, signature design, or contact info. The radiant Spot UV shines in the light subtly, reflecting and pronouncing these areas. You choose what parts you would like glossed, and we will use as much or as little Spot UV as you like - on one or both sides of the card!
Emboss your Spot UV Business Card!
Did you want to take your card to the next level? Go for the Spot UV with blind emobossing. Call us today for a custom quote.
Helpful Ideas for an Effective Spot UV Business Card
The Spot UV coating is subtle and elegant so don't be afraid to be creative. The bigger the Spot UV graphic the bigger the impact! Spot UV tends to be most effective when your background is solid black and the Spot UV layer is a watermark of unique shapes and patterns.
The "Susanne Hassler Photography" card (below) is a great example of effective use of Spot UV on matte laminate cards. Here, the floral pattern is prominently placed throughout the card and bleeds off the edges. This high ratio of Spot UV and laminate contrast will create the greatest impact. The "Modera Construction" card is nicely designed with the effect of a wooden grain acting as the Spot UV gloss. The design is simple yet very effective.
With the right artwork, a watermark that is registered on top of a logo can also be effective. This has a subtle effect and will be more arresting on a dark background. We try to dissuade exactly registering the Spot UV gloss above small text. The impact is much less effective and it will require turning the card in the light to see the UV gloss.. If you have any questions or need guidance building your file please email us or call us toll free: 888 667 0067.
How to add Spot UV to your business card file?
You would need to supply a second file indicating what elements or objects you want the Spot UV applied to. The Spot UV file needs to be solid black and submitted as a separate file (see below). For best results please submit your Spot UV file as a Vector PDF format. This can be achieved in either Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Indesign. Please note if your business card is double sided and you want Spot UV applied to both sides you would need to supply us 4 separate files. Please review our naming convention below to simplify the ordering process.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Morimo Excellent wraps The wraps serve their purpose. Good product! The padding on the wraps make them comfortable for lifting. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by mrmumpow Better Comfort These straps are much better then the cheaper unpadded straps you can buy at most other retailers. Don't get me wrong, it never feels wonderful with 300+ on a bar digging into your wrists. This product will lessen that feeling of the straps cutting into your wrists on heavier weight. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by user good straps Decent straps. I have no complaints. Real thick material so they will last a long time. July 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Rabs good product The straps are a good buy for there price. They are durable and comfortable. I would suggest anyone who lifts to but this product. July 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Dolivo78 Starter straps The straps are great for people just beginning to work out. I ripped off the pad in it bc it can get alot tighter around the bar. They do wear if you use it for alot if work outs so plan to buy again if you lift heavy. July 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by wtmatador98 New & Improved These are the durable straps like back in the day, but with the improved comfort of a neoprene pad for your wrist. VERY helpful! June 24, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by rheana lifting straps! excellent product, my boyfriend loves these! uses them everyday at the gym! June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Pacman17 A must for heavy dead lifts I love these straps. I've owned 3 differnt brands as well as lifting hooks and these are by far the best. The others either bent or became frayed while these continue to hold up well. Picking up 400lbs on the dead lift these are great. They provide great support so I can concentrate on the full body exercise instead of being limited by my hand strength. I hope this helps anyone who's getting into dead lifts, I love them.
