Editor's Note: The author, Fort Lee native Ann Piccirillo, is currently the editor of New Milford Patch.
For most people, the 4th of July conjures images of fireworks exploding from the ground, showering the night sky with a stunning array of sparkling colors. For this editor, the Fourth conjures up explosive images of a different sort. The kind that pushes both your children, and your marriage, into therapy.
The particular Fourth that I have in mind included a spectacular pyrotechnical display of emotional catharsis. Allegedly. It did result in the neighbors wanting little to do with me, but for some closet introverts, that might fall under the category of unintended benefits.
It all began a week before the Fourth of July when my mother's cable box kicked. For argument sake, let's call this cable company Time Warner. This wasn't the first time that her cable box broke, but this time she was told that a repairman could not get to her house for five days.
Do you know the hell life becomes when one's septuagenarian Italian mother with little patience is without cable for one hour, let alone five days? I told the customer service rep that I was deducting one month from my cable bill for each day that my mother went without cable so that I could pay for the therapy that my brother and I needed after having to deal with a Lifetime Movie Network-less Italian mother for five days!
I wanted to "out" the cable of every Time Warner executive's mother and then lock them together into a room for five days. With that stench lingering in the air, my son asked if some of his friends and their parents could come over for a Fourth of July party at our house. I'm going on record to say that when eight-year olds gather they multiply and morph into an uncontrollable mob. Fast forward to the third time someone left the door open and Bad Dog escaped. Strings of spit spewed from my mouth as threats were hurled at children causing them to scatter in search of beloved Bad Dog.
Retreating with a full bottle of wine to the sanctuary of the guest bathroom (read: converted pantry that makes an airplane bathroom palatial) I heard the muffled voices of the miniature mob victoriously declaring the capture of Bad Dog followed by my husband's proclamation, "Ann! The kids got sprayed by a skunk!" followed by my desire to nail myself shut inside the coffin of the guest bathroom. But it's a funny thing about spouses--there's no hiding from them.
Reluctantly, I walked to the back yard. After nasally examining each child like a bomb-sniffing K-9, I determined they had not been sprayed. However, Bad Dog was. Immediately, I became a trained Shakespearean actor practicing vocal exercises and enthralling my audience with a series of perfectly pitched scales of nuclear F-Bombs.
Before undertaking the de-skunking task, my husband and I decided to change our clothes. After all, you don't want to ruin your Target best. I commandeered a pair of size 6x leggings from my daughter's "old clothes pile" while my husband put on a pair of old sweats that had a huge hole in a spot no hole, huge or otherwise, should ever be.
"What?" he said as I stared at him from across the expanse of our bed.
"You're wearing them?"
"Think of the mileage you'll get out of writing about this," he said. "You'll have all of south Bergen in stitches!"
"Don't talk to me about writing about this," I seethed. "There's nothing funny about this!"
This is where you need a recorder (or, maybe not) because the conversation went from disbelief that we had to de-skunk the dog to me questioning our entire marriage. Why not put wings on a bad situation and just let it fly. At that point, what's there to lose?
Outside we trudged, my husband confidently walking the catwalk of our deck in his torn sweats and me sashaying like Morticia Adams in my size 6x leggings. While his left hand held the unsightly tear of his crotch together, my right hand was tugging at the waistband that seemed to have disappeared into the remote nether-regions of my abdomen.
As I crouched holding the dog, our neighbor expertly snapped my petite yellow rubber dishwashing gloves onto my husband's massive hands causing him to wince as the rubber ripped patches of hair from his arms. He swallowed his cries of pain to avoid shattering his manly appearance in front of the assembled crowd of eight-year olds and a stinky dog.
Bad Dog, feeling sorry for us, actually complied as we massaged a mixture of Arm & Hammer, hydrogen peroxide, and Dawn dishwashing detergent into her skunked fur as expertly as any environmentalist cleansing the oil-stained animals down at the Gulf. As I knelt holding the dog, face-to-face with the tear in my husband's sweats, I thought, "If I quickly lunge and bite him, he'll think it's the dog." But there were too many witnesses, so I refrained and decided to save my biting for sarcasm and not genitalia.
That's when my mother came strolling into the backyard announcing that she was moving in with us until the her cable was restored. "At least another three days," she declared.
Standing there, holding a bucket of skunk stink in my hand, husband glaring, children snaring, Bad Dog staring, mother swearing...all I could think on our nation's birthday was,

"With all of this bickering going on, the economy is slowing down," Greenspan said. "You can see it in all the data. I don't see a double-dip, but I do see it slowing down."
Europe, which buys a quarter of U.S. exports and. houses the operations of many American companies, would determine the course of the U.S. economy's recovery, Greenspan said.
Greenspan said despite the S&P downgrade, U.S. Treasury bonds, unlike Italian bonds, were still a safe investment.
"This is not an issue of credit rating. The United States can pay any debt it has because it can always print money to do that. There's zero probability of default," he said. "What I think the S&P (downgrade) did was to hit a nerve. ... It's hit the self-esteem of the United States, the psyche. And it's having a much profounder effect than I conceived could happen."

Pumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein SupplementPumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein SupplementOur protein supplement guide will help you excel on the court, in the gym, or on the roadIf you take your workouts seriously, nutrition should be top of mind too. Protein is a great place to start, and focusing on getting the right types of protein, in the right amounts, and at the right times is key. Our protein supplement guide will help you meet your wellness goals, potentially improving your performance on the court, in the gym, or on the road.
What type?
Whey protein is quick to digest and provides all of the protein building blocks - the amino acids. Our bodies cannot make some amino acids, and whey is ideal for meeting essential amino acid needs. Whey also supplies branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), and some research supports that they aid muscle recovery after hard workouts.
Compared with whey, casein is slower to digest, and results in a lower, yet more prolonged rise in blood amino acid levels, which may provide a particular advantage for body builders. At least one study supports that casein outshines whey in terms of promoting strength and lean body mass gains in people following a structured weight-training plan.
Rice protein is less likely to create allergic reactions than other proteins, and it comes from a plant, making it appropriate for vegetarians. Another potential advantage is that rice protein contains a high proportion of arginine, an amino acid that can dilate blood vessels, possibly enhancing blood flow to muscles. Rice is not a "complete" protein however; it doesn't supply all of the essential amino acids. Some products combine rice protein with proteins from sources like soy or milk to make it complete.
Egg protein is ideal for people who are looking to build new muscle. It has a very high protein efficiency ratio (PER), which is one measure of how well our bodies can use any particular form of protein. The higher the PER, the more efficiently our bodies can use that protein when we eat it. Egg is off the charts in terms of PER. Egg protein also is a complete protein, and is a good source of essential and branched chain amino acids. Egg protein powder is made from egg whites, and comes in a convenient, pasteurized powder form.
Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein that provides all essential amino acids, making it a good option for vegetarians. For the body to best utilize soy protein, vegetarians should also eat grain or dairy within a few days. Soy protein comes in two basic forms: soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate. Soy protein isolate is the most highly purified form, and has a minimum protein content of 90%. Soy protein concentrate contains more carbohydrates, and has a protein content of approximately 70%. Concentrates tend to cost a little less, but if you find soy protein concentrate doesn't agree with you, try isolate, which is easier for some people to digest.
How much?
With protein, as with many nutrients, more is not always better. According to Dr. Doug Paddon-Jones, Associate Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Director of Exercise Studies, "30 grams of protein appears to stimulate maximum muscle synthesis. For athletes, each meal and snack is a chance to hit the 30 gram mark, giving your body several opportunities each day to maximize muscle growth and repair."
Another reason to spread protein evenly through the day is simple efficiency. "Given that your body won't use much beyond 30 grams of protein at a time, it doesn't make sense to load up with more than this," says Paddon-Jones.

She has delivered over 150 invited lectures to health professionals and consumers and is the creator of a nutrition website acclaimed by the New York Times and Time magazine. Suzanne received her training in epidemiology and nutrition at the University of Michigan, School of Public Health at Ann Arbor.
- Breakfast-To support muscle building first thing in the morning, try trading traditional carb-heavy breakfast foods for more protein-rich options, such as a powder protein supplement mixed with milk and cereal.
- If you're heading into a long strength-training session-Sipping a casein-based protein supplement prior to and during your workout will give muscles sustained access to amino acids. If taken in the evening, casein can provide a steady supply of amino acids while you're sleeping.
- Immediately pre- or post-workout-Especially if your workout includes aerobic or circuit training, protein manufacturers recommend a whey protein-based liquid or powder supplement.

The Vikings' Brandon Fusco and Phil Loadholt are not prepared to take all of the credit for Adrian Peterson's MVP season a year ago, but they're willing to take the blame for some of it.
Fusco, a right guard, and Loadholt, a right tackle, paved the way for a large chunk of Peterson's 2,000-plus rushing yards in 2013. Now, after a full year of competing next to each other on the offensive line, the duo is looking to play even better.
Offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave saw both Fusco and Loadholt take a large step forward last season.
"The strides that took place with Phil being in the system for the second year and also the emergence of Brandon Fusco (was significant)," Musgrave said. "Those guys on the right side are very physical and that is what we want to be on offense; that is our identity."
It's not much of a surprise that the 6-foot-7, 332-pound Loadholt is playing well. He was selected in the second round, 54th overall, of the 2009 draft and was penciled in as a starter almost from Day 1.
Fusco's emergence is a bit more unexpected. He wasn't taken until the sixth round of the 2011 draft from Division II Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. A strong performance in the Senior Bowl and a good showing at the NFL combine helped convince the Vikings to pick him.
Fusco played in just three games as a rookie but fended off the challenge of five-year veteran Geoff Schwartz last season to win the starting right guard spot. He played all 17 games in 2013.
"I learned a lot last year," Fusco said. "The coaches taught me a lot of things.
"I've always been a physical run blocker but my pass blocking needed to get better and that's one of the things we worked on a lot. I picked up the different techniques and the veterans helped me out and I'm still out here working hard trying to become a better player."

Rain chances and cooler temperatures
POSTED: 09:43 PM CDT Jul 21, 2013
We have a chance of showers and t-storms nearly every day this week as northwesterly winds aloft carry areas of low pressure through the state. Isolated storms are possible Monday afternoon due to the daytime heating. As an upper level disturbance approaches, t-storm chances will increase Monday night through early Tuesday. There continues to be the possibility of a few storms late in the day Tuesday and overnight as a cold front moves through. This front will cool us into the 80s from Wednesday and through the work week. Another cold front is forecast to move through by early Saturday bringing another chance of t-storms Friday and early Saturday and cool our daytime temperatures to the lower 80s for the weekend.

How the COUNTIFS Function Works
Related Tutorial: Text only version - Excel COUNTIFS Function
Excel's COUNTIFS function can be used to count up the number of data records in a selected range that match specific criteria.
COUNTIFS extends the usefulness of the COUNTIF function by allowing you to specify from 2 to 127 criteria rather than just one as in COUNTIF.
Normally, COUNTIFS works with rows of data called records. In a record, the data in each cell or field in the row is related - such as a company's name, address and phone number.
COUNTIFS looks for specific criteria in two or more fields in the record and only if it finds a match for each field specified is the record counted.
COUNTIFS Function Step by Step Tutorial
In the COUNTIF step by step tutorial we matched the single criterion of sales agents who had sold more than 250 orders in a year.
In this tutorial we will set a second condition using COUNTIFS - that of sales agents in the East sales region who made more than 250 sales in the past year.
Setting additional conditions is done by specifying additional Criteria_range and Criteria arguments for COUNTIFS.Following the steps in the tutorial topics below walks you through creating and using the COUNTIFS function seen in the image above.

The welcome video is a tradition here at Patch.
Scratch that, it's a requirement. But it's meant to be part of a site's launch, and mine, well, mine just wasn't ready. It was a matter of scheduling, and of having only a couple of weeks to get ready for launch, but also, I wanted to make sure I could do something interesting. Well, interesting to me, at least.
So I got a little extra time, and I got together with my friend Kevin Trudo, musician extraordinaire. And this is the goofy thing we came up with. We filmed this around town last Monday, in the bitter cold and freezing rain, and we can't thank our StudioNow videographer and editor Diana Gurley enough for running with this, and shooting it under ridiculous conditions.
I know many of you have been waiting for this for a while. I hope it was worth it. And now, about three weeks late, I finally get to say this: welcome to Montgomery Patch.

Local thespians ready to take to the stage, here is your chance to prepare for auditions being held in late March.
The Village Theatre Guild is holding open auditions on March 24 and 25 for Next Fall by Geoffrey Nauffts. The play will run from May 24 through June 15 at the Village Theatre Guild in Glen Ellyn.
The theater is casting for six parts. The parts are as follows: Adam (early to mid 40s), Luke (mid to late 20s), Holly (mid 30s), Brandon (early to mid 30s), Arlene (early 50s) and Butch (mid 50s).
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and will be held at 7 p.m. March 24 and 25, according to the theater. Prepared monologues will be heard, but are not required.
The play is described as: "A witty and provocative look at faith, commitment, and unconditional love. The story revolves around the 5-year relationship between Adam and Luke. When a tragic accident occurs, the characters must examine their morals, their values, what it means to "believe," and what it might cost them not to."
Learn more about the play and auditions.
Copies of the script are available by contacting director Jim Liesz at 630-534-4828.

In 1962, James Meredith became a civil rights hero when he enrolled as the first African American student at the University of Mississippi. Four years later, he would make the news again when he reentered Mississippi, on foot. His plan was to walk from Memphis to Jackson, leading a "March Against Fear" that would promote black voter registration and defy the entrenched racism of the region. But on the march's second day, he was shot by a mysterious gunman, a moment captured in a harrowing and now iconic photograph. What followed was one of the central dramas of the civil rights era. With Meredith in the hospital, the leading figures of the civil rights movement flew to Mississippi to carry on his effort. They quickly found themselves confronting southern law enforcement officials, local activists, and one another. In the span of only three weeks, Martin Luther King, Jr., narrowly escaped a vicious mob attack; protesters were teargassed by state police; Lyndon Johnson refused to intervene; and the charismatic young activist Stokely Carmichael first led the chant that would define a new kind of civil rights movement: Black Power. Aram Goudsouzian's Down to the Crossroads is the story of the last great march of the King era, and the first great showdown of the turbulent years that followed. Depicting rural demonstrators' courage and the impassioned debates among movement leaders, Goudsouzian reveals the legacy of an event that would both integrate African Americans into the political system and inspire even bolder protests against it. Full of drama and contemporary resonances, this book is civil rights history at its best.

When you're making kombucha, it is essential that you sanitize your brewing and fermentation equipment. If you don't sanitize your equipment, you can introduce harmful bacteria into the mix and end up making yourself and/or others sick. *
There are several ways you can sanitize your equipment.
For cloth (such as the tea towel / dish rag and the optional cheesecloth), a regular machine washing with hot water should suffice, but you can also use bleach if you'd like.
For your glass fermentation vessel, storage bottles or jars, and spoon, you can sanitize with pure apple cider vinegar, a bleach solution (made of one gallon water and one tablespoon bleach) or a commercial sanitizer (such as quaternary sanitizer or a barware / beer brewing sanitizer).
If you're using apple cider vinegar to sanitize your equipment, be sure to expose all of the brewing / fermentation surfaces to the sanitizer and then allow them to air-dry before you use them.
If you're using a bleach solution to sanitize your equipment, soak each item in the bleach solution for two minutes, then rinse and air dry.
If you're using a commercial sanitizer, follow the sanitation instructions provided.
* Wait to sanitize your storage bottles until after the kombucha has fermented. Just be sure not to forget! Also, be sure to wash your hands well before you work on your kombucha, and sanitize your hands with apple cider vinegar each time you plan to handle the SCOBY.

EVANSVILLE — Some construction projects planned for the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. may need to be postponed due to a shortfall of money received in its capital projects fund.
The EVSC had budgeted for nearly $23.5 million in the fund but received an approved budget of a little more than $20.7 million.
According to the EVSC Office of Business Affairs, the capital projects fund is rate driven, and the rate is established by the state. For the 2013 plan, about 24 percent of the capital projects fund is for construction and improvements, and about 11.5 percent is for future projects. The majority of utilities cost will continue to be paid from this fund, per state statute.
However, capital projects funds are property tax supported, and the property tax caps have reduced the amount the district receives by about $1 million, EVSC spokeswoman Marsha Jackson said.
In response to not receiving what was requested for the capital projects fund, Jackson said the district will eliminate saving for a future project that was in the original budget request that the district was "working proactively to put money aside for." And renovation and maintenance plans at various schools will also be postponed.
"We will need to prioritize our work in our buildings," Jackson said. "Doing only what is absolutely necessary at this time."
The Perry Heights Middle School gymnasium is still in the budget, Jackson assured, but the district may have to pay for it over two years. Perry Heights is the only EVSC middle school without a competition gymnasium, which were built at Cedar Hall, Glenwood, Lincoln and Lodge when those schools switched to K-8 arrangement.
The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. School Board voted and adopted its nearly $226 million proposed 2013 budget Sept. 24, 2012.
It included a $150 million general fund, nearly all of which is for salaries and benefits. Also adopted at that meeting was the 2013-15 capital projects fund.
The budget plan assumes no change in this year's overall assessed value of property in Vanderburgh County, about $6.7 billion. The 2012 tax rate was 66 cents per $100 assessed value. It was anticipated by school officials at that meeting the 2013 rate will be "going up a little bit" but by far less than the rate of more than $2 to be shown in the budget's legal advertisement
because that figure traditionally is overinflated.

Watch MGHers perform Don't Stop Your Giving!
More than 20,000 children in Massachusetts will experience homelessness this year. Just a few years ago, Altia Taylor's children were part of that statistic. Altia faced a financial crisis when her mother, father and brother all passed away in a short timeframe. Struggling to pay for their funeral costs, Altia found herself unable to pay her rent.
Soon, she and her two young children were without a home, relying on emergency shelters and temporary housing. When Altia connected with United Way-funded agency Homes for Families, she was able to obtain permanent housing for her family. Today, Altia continues to use resources such as United Way's 2-1-1 helpline to connect her with programs that give her family the tools to thrive.
Please watch this video to hear how United Way is helping families like Altia's obtain shelter, food and financial stability and how your giving helps to provide resources for those most in need.

Policy & Law
Human Rights Watch this week released a new report calling for the world to abandon fully autonomous weapons "before it's too late." Jointly published by HRW and the Harvard Law School International Human Rights Clinic, the 50-page report acknowledges that fully autonomous weapons are not yet a reality, but warns that contemporary trends are definitely pushing us in that direction. According to HRW, the implications could be devastating, since such mechanized weaponry would, by definition, lack the human controls "that provide legal and non-legal checks on the killing of civilians."
HRW says its report, "Losing Humanity: The Case Against Killer Robots," is the first major publication of its kind from a non-governmental organization. In it, the group also calls upon governments to implement an international treaty that would ban development and production of fully autonomous weapons, before the tide of momentum becomes too great. "It is essential to stop the development of killer robots before they show up in national arsenals," said Steve Goose, HRW's Arms Division director. "As countries become more invested in this technology, it will become harder to persuade them to give it up."

Stuart, FL — Philip D. Belanger, 63, of Evening Shade, Arkansas and previously of Litchfield, New Hampshire, passed away suddenly on March 11, 2013. Philip was with his wife Carol vacationing and visiting his father, Roland, in Hobe Sound, Florida.
Philip was born on August 10, 1949, in Lawrence, Mass., to D. Roland and Barbara K. (Berry) Belanger. He was preceded in death by his mother on September 11, 2011, and sister, Debra Ann Daily. He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Carol A. (Walker) Belanger. Philip was the devoted father of two sons, Brian Philip Belanger of Milford, N.H., and Kevin James Belanger of Manchester, N.H., and his daughter, Megan Marie Belanger of Evening Shade, Ark.
Philip graduated from Pinkerton Academy in Derry, N.H., where he was very active in sports. He graduated from Plymouth State College in 1971 with a Bachelors degree in Physical Education. Upon graduation he joined his parents at Belanger Pool Center, Inc. in Londonderry, N.H. Philip took over the company after his parents retired to Florida and worked with his sons up until his passing. During this time, he developed many friendships with customers and an impeccable reputation for this small family business. Philip was also active in the local sports community while in Litchfield. He loved coaching basketball and was adored and revered by every player he helped over the years. He volunteered with the recreation programs until he was hired as the Litchfield Middle School boys basketball coach. He coached there many years and also assisted the girls Campbell Cougars basketball team when his daughter played. He was a respected and loved man in the Litchfield community, always attending and volunteering the local sporting events. When he moved to Arkansas he continued his gift for helping where he volunteered his time again, coaching his nieces and nephews play basketball for the local school.

"Not the old Genentech"
Pros – Having worked in operations for eight years in Vacaville, South San Francisco and Oceanside, South San Francisco is by far the best location and still has a strong Genentech culture, Outside of San Francisco the culture is less noticeable, but in general People are nice, benefits are good not great. Ho-Ho's are nice , work can be challenging, co-workers are supportive
Cons – Working in Vacaville or Oceanside pay is low, stock options are almost non existent, weak culture, poor management, management shoots from the hip with no clear plan or strategies. Managers are not leaders but "yes" men and women. Nearly impossible to advance to a new position unless you are part of the "in crowd". If you want the five star rating work in South San Francisco, Vacaville and Oceanside are disappointments.
Advice to Senior Management – Make an effort to strengthen the culture at Vacaville and Oceanside, allow internal applicants to advance their careers, improve contractor workers work conditions, fire managers that do not understand metrics and who manage their departments by threatening employees.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

"If you dont fit the clique, you are ousted...no matter how hard you work"
Pros – Big Company with stability and future growth since they became Roche.
Cons – Contractors are alienated. Also, be ready to get on the lemmings train...conform....or goodbye
to you. The funny thing is, they try to push outside the box thinking....but shun you when you speak up.
And this coming from MULTIPLE people ( more ex employees as well) = Way too much Politics and drama in Oceanside.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't try to manage every aspect of every person. Some people are good at certain things and not so much at others. Don't use tactics like upgrading a system to relieve yourself from people that are less fortunate.
Also, Introverts are not bad people. Some of the greatest minds ever were that way.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

"Great place to work"
Pros – Excellent benefits
High-performance culture
Company cares about its employees and patients
Promotes diversity and inclusion more than any employer I have ever worked for
Cons – A lot of unneccessary bureaucracy especially when dealing with corporate functions
Less altruistic since Roche took over
Difficult to move up from within.
Advice to Senior Management – Change HR practices that make it difficult for people to move up as quickly from within. So many people leave and then come back, getting hired at a salary and level they would have had to wait years to achieve from within.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Actinic Keratosis
Is there a simple solution to its elimination?
Who can I contact in reference to this?
Approximately one million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed annually in the United States. Among these, 16% are squamous cell carcinoma. The incidence of skin cancer has been going up slowly in the past few years. Please check the website of the American Academy of Dermatology for details.
Actinic keratoses are precancerous lesions of atypical keratinocytes. They appear as red, ill-defined erythematous macules and papules with yellow-brown adherent scales in sun-damaged skin. They are almost always multiple lesions. They are most commonly seen in light-skinned persons in the fourth or fifth decades. Actinic keratoses are important lesions to recognize since approximately 20% to 25% of them eventually transform into carcinoma in situ and finally into invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Any lesion suspected of being a squamous cell cancer should be biopsied. Excision is the treatment of choice. Actinic keratoses are generally treated with cryosurgery, using liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy the abnormal epidermis or, if numerous, with topical 5-fluorouracil applied as 1 or 5% cream or solution over 2 to 4-week period.
Prevention of actinic keratoses can be achieved by avoiding excessive sun exposure by using protective clothing and sunscreens. You should contact a dermatologist for further information and evaluation of a specific skin lesion.

The Federal government granted Wisconsin a waiver from meeting requirements set by the No Child Left Behind Law after state officials proposed their own state-wide improvement plans.
The OK on Wisconsin's application for a waiver from certain requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind law equates relief from what many characterized as punitive system for judging school performance over the past decade, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Under the exemption, the state is released from meeting a 2014 deadline under the law requiring 100 percent of students be proficient in reading and math.
But the waiver also means the state will be setting additional expectations, which school districts will need to meet.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan lauded the waivers, but still called for bipartisan support for the passage of the federal education law, which has been up for reauthorization from Congress since 2007.
"It is a remarkable milestone that in only five months, more than half of the states in the country have adopted state-developed, next-generation education reforms to improve student learning and classroom instruction, while ensuring that resources are targeted to the students that need them most," Duncan said. "A strong, bipartisan reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act remains the best path forward in education reform, but as 26 states have now demonstrated, our kids can't wait any longer for Congress to act."
Governor Scott Walker said in a statement Friday for the past year and a half the state has worked with Democrats, Republicans, and a wide variety of education stakeholders to develop systems to help our schools and teachers improve.
"This waiver puts more power in the hands of Wisconsin's parents, educators, and elected officials to determine what is best for students in each community," Walker said. "I am hopeful that Congress will continue to work toward a more permanent refining of the federal government's role in education.
"In the meantime, we must continue to develop a fair and transparent system for evaluating and improving our state's public, choice, and charter schools. Together we will replicate successful schools while finding ways to improve schools that are not achieving results," Walker continued.
Earlier this year, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction presented Wisconsin's Elementary and Secondary Education Act Flexibility Request, which would propose state legislation that would require high school students to take more math and science classes, and red flag schools with high levels of absenteeism and low graduation rates.
"Wisconsin's NCLB waiver is an ambitious education reform package. We are setting higher expectations for students, educators, and schools with a clear focus on our graduates being college and career ready," according to State Superintendent Tony Evers.
Wisconsin joins 25 other states in being granted the federal waiver.

publisher abuse
Be aware that this music arrives in an unusable format. For twenty dollars, the publisher has not bothered to provide a seperate cello book. The cello part is permanently attached to the piano art and pages must be copied for use. Given the light-weight paper and heavy inking, this can be an ugly mess due to ghosting. I recommend passing on this unless Lorenz republishes this in a competent fashion. ... (See Full Review)

Report: Big Star Being Groomed to Take Over Fallon's NBC Late-Night Slot NY Post
With news that Jay Leno might be leaving NBC's "The Tonight Show" to make room for Jimmy Fallon, the network is reportedly grooming a replacement for Fallon's time slot, according to The New York Post.
That replacement is reportedly shock jock Howard Stern, who is also currently a judge on "America's Got Talent."
"Howard has been trying to show TV suits for years that he's the whole package. ... He's shown -- on 'AGT,' one of the most popular family shows on TV -- that he can act like a grown-up and play well with others, if the money's right," the story reports.
Stern's previous stints in late-night TV had mixed results, the piece adds. He made pilots in 1987 in an attempt to replace Joan Rivers on "The Late Show," but a program didn't make it to air, the story says. His Saturday night program "The Howard Stern Radio Show" aired on CBS stations, which started dropping the show because of its risque content, the piece adds.

Barāki - inv. 2116
Iran, early 16th century
Barāki (head armour for a horse)
early 16th century
615 mm, 1012 g
1879 bequest Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli
Inv. 2116
It is one of the most important surviving examples of head armour for a horse from the Islamic East. The middle of the forehead is decorated with a lion, behind which rises a raying sun with a human face, features which clearly indicate its Persian origin. At the top of the armour appears the "tamga" (stamp) of the Ottoman arsenal, suggesting it may have been part of the plunder carried off by the Sultan Ottoman Selim I who defeated the Persians in 1514.

Dorm Room 101: Your last minute checklist
When going to college, nobody ever forgets the big ticket items.
You've got to have a computer if you're going to do homework and surf Facebook, right? Everyone remembers the mini fridge. Frankly, college is the only time anyone ever has a mini fridge anyway. And, at least one roommate will ask, 'who's bringing the speakers.'
Then, there's all the standard books, school supplies, clothes, sheets, and etc.
Yet, there are quite a few items an incoming college student may forget. They may not be as luxurious as a TV and Xbox, but these products are absolutely essential to maintaining sanity.
Noise Canceling Headphones
These are so essential, let us repeat this like a mantra: bring noise canceling headphones.
Hey, I don't blame you for not thinking of it. For 18 years before college, you've probably had a room all to yourself. Even if you shared a room, you could always scream at your brother or sister to shut up.
That's not an option in college.
You have a roommate who sleeps mere feet from where you lay your head. That's a roommate that could snore; that's a roommate who could listen to heavy metal late at night; that's a roommate who could have nocturnal guests.
Get a pair of noise canceling headphones. It's not just a question of sleeping at night. Roommates can be annoying during the day as well. With a pair of noise canceling headphones, not only can you enjoy your audio in peace, you can also get a little freedom from the surrounding noise of college life.
Surge Protector
Yeah, its got about as little glamour as possible, but this is a key item to enjoying life in the dorms.
Think about it: technology is advancing at exponential rates, while dorms are remodeled at a snails pace. The wiring is old. The wall sockets are far and few between. Trust us, you don't want to start life off fighting over who gets to plug in their computer. Tack on the mini fridge, sound system, TV, gaming station, etc and you've got a full on dorm debacle.
The solution is simple. Get a surge protector. With it, you'll be able to protect your new college gear from faulty wiring as well as have plenty of space to juice your electronics.
Sure; you've got a mini fridge.
That's swell if you only want cold drinks, baby carrots, and popsicles.
But, you want to know what gets a college student through dorm life? The answer: top ramen, frozen burritos, and hot chocolate. And, you know what these need? A microwave.
Nobody thinks to bring one to school, but they're quite crucial. They're inexpensive, fit on top of the mini fridge, and guarantee you'll have the option to munch on something warm. Plus, if you start getting tired of ramen, there's a whole world of cooking you could explore with just your microwave.
Flash Drive
Sure, there's gmail and college servers to save all your homework for printing. But, you've only got to spend one all nighter, toting your laptop on and off campus trying to meet a deadline, to wish you had a USB flash drive. It's not exactly an overpriced luxury item either — USB drives are considerably inexpensive and extremely mobile.
Flips Flops
It doesn't matter where you're going to school, you don't want to be walking around dorm's bathroom in bare feet. You can buy a pair of cheap flip flops for a dollar, but even if flip flops cost hundreds of dollars, it would still be worth it.
You DO NOT want to expose your feet to myriad of microscopic forms, living and dead, on the bathroom floor of the dorm.
What last minute back to school items did we forget on this list? Add your wisdom to the comments!

High dynamic range photography is a popular way to bypass cameras' weaknesses in capturing bright and dark scenes, and Dolby hopes its technology will help.
The Firefox developer releases a tool called mozjpeg that cuts image file sizes by about 10 percent through judicious optimization. The goal: a faster Web.
Instead of having to manually alter the HDR setting before every photo, use auto-HDR and let your iPhone 5S do the work for you.
Two new options expand what's possible with online photo editing on Google+. You can check focus with 100 percent zoom and give photos an HDR look.
Built-in image stabilization and high bitrate recording make this Sony's best Action Cam yet, but there are still a few usability quirks remaining.
At a special sneak preview, a few of us journo types got to see upcoming High Dynamic Range technology from Dolby. And it might just improve all TVs.
The musician-friendly Sony HDR-MV1 records 1080p video and packs a pair of stereo mics that can record uncompressed linear PCM audio.
Along with seven updated models, Sony's 2014 lineup includes a very nice-sounding top-of-the-line HD camcorder.
The only thing the Sony Handycam HDR-CX220 seems to have going for it is the low price, but "you get what you pay for" has never rung truer.
We take a closer look at the HTC One's camera technology and see how it stacks up against its rivals.

Going out for your 21st birthday was never this wild
At 16, you can drive a car. At 18, you can join the army. At 21, you can drink alcohol – and do a lot of ridiculous and humorous things that are often associated with that.
Turning 21 is a big deal, especially for straight-A student Jeff Chang (Justin Chon) who is hoping to go to medical school. Even though his birthday is the day before an important medical school interview, Jeff still wanted to have a laid-back celebration with his two best friends (Skylar Austin and Miles Teller). But a planned chill evening turned into a wild and crazy night full of humiliation, overindulgence, and stories that will be told for years and years to come.
Want to have a better night than Jeff Chang? Come to the Moviehouse & Eatery for 21 and Over and enjoy some good, clean fun. Compliment your classy movie-watching evening with some of our wine and fried cheese, a fun take on a classy pairing.

July 29, 2014
Authorities say a 14-year-old Northern California girl who died during a sleepover last summer overdosed on a chemical found in so-called "date rape" drugs, but it's unclear how she got the drug.
Sonoma County Sheriff's Lt. Dennis O'Leary says Tuesday that Takeimi Rao died in July from drinking a fatal dose of Gamma-Hydroxybutyric or GHB.
Investigators are still trying to determine whether the Santa Rosa teen ingested the drug intentionally or accidentally.
GHB is found in some industrial cleaning solvents.
Authorities initially believed the teenager may have died of alcohol poisoning or choked on her vomit after drinking vodka with three friends.
The test results were released almost seven months after Rao was found dead in her bedroom.
She had recently graduated from Rincon Valley Middle School in Santa Rosa.

Globe Columnist
JOPLIN, Mo. —
"Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less From Each Other," by Sherry Turkle, is a significant book examining the impact of the Internet on human relationships.
The author is pro-technology and truly appreciates its advantages. She reminds us that this technology is in its infancy and we are learning how to handle it. Only five years ago this past week did Steve Jobs introduce Apple's App Store!
The title of the book also names a growing problem resulting from mismanagement of the technology.
We know that human beings are communal. We need quality relationships in order to grow and be healthy. Relationships need time and attention, undivided attention.
Our constant connectedness brings into sharp focus the problem of being alone together. The more we are connected to tech, the more our attention is divided, even when being with a spouse, a friend, a son or a daughter. I was attending an opera (when one is married to one whose masters degree is vocal performance, one learns to attend operas). As the lights shone announcing the intermission, smart phones immediately lit up all-around me. There were Facebook statuses, email, tweets and text messages to check. Alone together!
The blame is not to be placed upon the technology. In and of themselves, the Internet, computers and smart phones are socially neutral.
Depending upon how they are used, they may enhance or inhibit important relationships. We have always had difficulty giving undivided attention: Dad reading the paper at the breakfast table, little Johnny drawing out the game of battleship to be secretly played later that day in school.
Our new technology makes undivided attention less easy and divided attention more tempting than ever before. Reach for the phone, push a button or two, and all this good stuff just pops right up, and away we go.
Does this concept of "alone together" come into play when we think about relating with God? It certainly does.
Two Biblical accounts come to mind. In I Kings 19, Elijah is fraught with fear and hiding in a cave. He needs a word from God. He listens within the mighty wind, the terrible earthquake and the burning forest fire, but only hears God in "the sound of sheer silence."
In the 46th Psalm we read "the nations rage and kingdoms totter." In both accounts, there is loud noise and much activity, constant movement.
In both accounts, there is also the sound of silence and quietness. And God comes only in those times.
In Elijahs story, we overhear the meaning of the story as we read. In the Psalm, the Psalmist looks us in the eye and straight-forwardly says, "Be still, and know."
Then and now, life is busy and noisy. Sometimes, it roars. We want a word from God, but to hear, we must withdraw from all distraction. God does not shout over the noise of our lives, but communes with us amidst the sound of silence and quietness.
Just as important as it is to put the phone down, to not pick it up, to spend time with a loved one in undivided attention, so is it with us and God. In the story of the beginnings, God comes calling for the couple in the cool of the evening, when life is hushed. By seeking quiet and stillness, we recreate the cool evening atmosphere. Then we listen for God.
Jesus is our example. He often withdrew from the crowd and its noise in order to be quiet and reflective. You might say he disconnected and gave the Father His undivided attention.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) –A Marine stationed in Albany is back home safely after a middle east deployment.
Lieutenant Colonel Don Mills touched down in Albany Wednesday evening after almost a year in Kuwait.
His primary mission was to retrograde equipment and gear used in Iraq. Mills was greeted by fellow Marines as well as his wife, daughter and brother.
"I missed my family the most, most definitely. So I'm very happy to be back. It's great. It's been a long time, about 11 1/2 months in Kuwait," said Mills.
This was Lieutenant Colonel Mills' third tour in Kuwait.
