Darien Public Schools are currently facing a deficit of $250,000, prompting administrators to propose reducing spending on materials that are not directly related to student instruction.
Superintendent Stephen Falcone shared this news at a Board of Education meeting on Tuesday night. The cause stems from out-of-district settlements exceeding expectations, a sharp increase in the number of special education students from last year to this year, and the likelihood of the state lowering its reimbursement rate on excess cost grants.
"In the category of no good deed goes unpunished, we are not getting as much money back on excess costs," Superintendent Stephen Falcone said.
The number of special education students increased from 562 on October 1, 2010, to 621 on Oct, 1, 2011. One reason for the increase of 59 students stems from pre-schoolers entering the district at age three. In forming the current budget, board members in 2010-2011 used 562 students as a basis for calculating expenses.
Falcone recommended the district save money by cutting spending by $110,000 on materials that do not relate directly to student instruction. School employees will be retiring within the next seven months, which will generate additional savings.
Additionally, Falcone proposed at least considering not filling oil tanks until next year.
About 20 people came to the meeting and sat in the audience. Susan Vogel asked Falcone to specify the materials that he envisions not buying in order to make up the shortfall. In response, Falcone mentioned poster papers, books on the Civil War, instructional materials, magazines, and expensive art program materials.
Board Chairman Elizabeth Hagerty-Ross described the projected shortfall as serious. Yet, she wants to prevent it from adversely impacting the students.
"We do not want to affect the quality of education at this point in time," Hagerty-Ross said.
Board member Clara Sartori expressed a similar sentiment.
"We will reduce spending on materials rather than cancel a program," she said. Toward this end, the district can delay the purchase of materials for the time being. Conversely, a cancelled program is unable to be uncancelled.
Connecticut reimbursed Darien in excess cost grants at a rate of 78 percent last fiscal year. Board members and administrators predicted the state would reimburse the town at a rate between 70 percent and 74 percent this fiscal year.
"The complexities of this grant are causing us heartburn," Richard Huot, the school district's director of finance, said. "The state is giving up on its obligations. They are passing the buck onto Darien taxpayers."

Borowitz Report: U.S. Nationalizes Illinois Senate Seat
Andy Borowitz writes…
In an unorthodox move certain to generate controversy, the United States today nationalized the Senate seat held by Roland Burris.
The White House quickly defended the measure, arguing that Burris' seat had become a "zombie seat" that was a drain on the rest of the Senate.
Minutes after the U.S. assumed control of Burris' seat, speculation centered on what it would do with what is widely regarded as a toxic asset.
Here is where I would write something clever if I thought that there was anything worthwhile to add.

Now it's official: Mission Viejo can keep $1.6 million earmarked for 22 affordable housing units near the Los Alisos Target.
A dispute between the city and state over the money was resolved with a phone call from the Department of Finance Friday, City Manager Dennis Wilberg said.
The agreement means the city will not go to court to defend their right to the money, Wilberg said, based on a Dec. 21 4-1 vote by the City Council. Then-mayor Frank Ury voted against the decision.
The money will be spent to build units on The Ridge, a 144-townhome development.
The $1.6 million now sits in the city's housing authority fund. The housing authority was created after the state dissolved redevelopment agencies near the beginning of 2012.
At the last special meeting of the city housing authority, it was unclear whether the state would allow the city to keep the money.
"In essence while (the state) agreed that the agreement we had with Lennar was a legitimate, enforceable obligation, they were only allowing the city to keep $232,000 to make good on that agreement," Wilberg said.
That would have been enough money for four housing units, he said. The city's original agreement with Lennar was to build 22 affordable units.
Two confusing letters from the state complicated matters, the city manager said.
"Back on the 21st we had two different letters," he said. "One said, 'This is an enforceable obligation,' the other said 'This is not an enforceable obligation.' Then we got another letter that further complicated things."
The money will be spent incrementally as units are sold, Wilberg said.

Tips for Leaving a Gang
Always remember: There is a way out and you can do it!
In many cases it is very difficult to leave a gang. Chances are the gang you belong to claims the neighborhood that you live in, so completely avoiding them may be hard to do. You should never tell your gang of your plans to leave because this could put you at risk for great physical harm. It is important to find someone who will believe in your efforts of leaving gang life behind and support you 100 percent. You should confide in a trusted adult like a parent, teacher, mentor, grandparent, other relative, anyone who is not gang affiliated.
Believe in yourself and know that you have the power to control your own life
Stop wearing "gang attire"
Stop using gang lingo (e.g. nicknames, hand signs, language, etc.)
Make excuses. Tell your gang friends you are busy with other things.
Start spending your time away from the gang. Get involved in sports, clubs, a legitimate job, etc.
Make new friends that are not gang affiliated
Cover up gang tattoos
Change your phone number
Seek programs in your community that can help through your local school or police department
For more information on how to get out of gangs go to:

Keighley hang on for crucial victory
Updated 8:51pm Sunday 26th January 2014 in Sport By Bob Swift
Pontefract 17, Keighley 20
Keighley narrowed the gap between themselves and SSE Yorkshire Division One relegation rivals Pontefract to seven points with a hard-fought victory in testing conditions.
They dominated the first half without taking full advantage of their opportunities and led 10-0 at the break after a penalty goal by Alex Brown and a try by second-rower James Walker, converted by Brown.
A try by flanker Shaun Minikin, again converted by Brown, early in the second half put Keighley seemingly in total control but Pontefract struck back with a try by wingman Richard Dedicoat before Brown replied with a well-taken penalty goal.
Home half-back Richard Bacon's try for Pontefract seemed more of an inconvenience than a threat to Keighley but a fine try by fly half Craig Fawcett, converted by Dedicoat, suddenly changed the pattern of the game.
Pontefract sensed victory and threatened the Keighley line, but the defence held out, despite the loss of prop Craig Spencer to the sin bin for the final eight minutes of play.

By dehydrating foods, you remove most of their moisture making the food less likely to spoil over time and reuse its volume so it takes up less space to store.
Currently I have nine tomato plants that survived the heat, humidity and rains of this summer and they're slowly ripening. What can be done with the weekly crop of tomatoes besides using them for salads, sandwiches and other usual recipes?
With a dehydrator you can make your own sun-dried tomatoes and it's quite simple!
- Simply get a fresh batch of Roma tomatoes from your garden. They're meatier and do very well when sun-dried.
- Cut them into quarters and remove the middle 'stem' part of the tomato. It's a bit tougher than the surrounding flesh. You can also remove the seeds if you like, but I never do since the ones at the store don't. Try to keep the pieces uniform in shape so they dry at the same rate.
- Place them on the screen of the dehydrator leaving room around them so the air circulates. I sprinkle them with a bit of sea salt and fresh basil from the garden.
- Start the dehydrator and wait for your kitchen to smell amazing. For me it took about eight hours for all of the pieces to completely dry. I did check after five hours because some of the pieces were smaller and I figured they would dry sooner.
- To store them you can keep them in a container in your pantry, the refrigerator or freezer. When you're ready to use them, simply let them soak in olive oil for 24 hours (keep the oil for use on pasta and salads) or soak them in boiling water for a half hour.
Zucchini's can grow to amazing proportions in home gardens and with a dehydrator you can make tasty and healthy zucchini chips. Simply cut them into thin slices, sprinkle with salt and dry.
There are quite a few different brands and styles of dehydrators available. and both sell the one that I own (less that $50) and included a jerky gun. Why pay all that money for beef jerky when you can make your own.
Green beans, onions and even mushrooms can be dried out and stored for later use. Simply rehydrate them and use in your family's meals. Let them soak in water for a half-hour or add them directly to soups and stews.
Peaches are in season at and and can be dried for use in kids' lunches. Apple chips are another nutritious treat. Dip the slices of apple in lemon juice to keep them from browining and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar for a healthy snack alternative. Either way, they'res a cheaper version of what you would find in stores and you know the ingredients going into them.
Some tips when it comes to dehydrating:
- Make sure the slices of food are the same size so that everything dries out evenly. Sometimes that's not possible (like when I dry out tomatoes) so as I check them every few hours I'll take out any pieces that are ready.
- Store the dehydrated foods in a dark, cool place in your home in air-tight jars or zip lock bags.
- The first few times you use a dehydrator you may be unsure so just check on the foods every half-hour to hour to see how they're progressing. Foods should be pliable like leather. If you're not comfortable with leaving the foods out at room temperature you can always keep the in the freezer. Dehydrators typically come with recipe books that have guidelines for drying times for various foods.
- Once you're comfortable with drying foods in your dehydrator you can set things up and go to bed. You'll wake up to the foods done (or almost done) and, depending upon what you're drying, a great smelling kitchen.
For more information on dehydrating food check out the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's College of Agriculture website as well as Pickyourown.org for more tips and recipes.

Somehow this felt like an appropriate day for Steven Jackson to achieve a great career landmark. On Sunday the St Louis Rams running back became just the 27th player in NFL history to rush for 10,000 yards, reaching that figure on a well-executed draw play late in the third quarter. Even the Rams' opponents, the Minnesota Vikings, paused to congratulate him on the achievement.
By that stage the Rams were losing, 33-14. A team which entered the game harbouring dreams of a late playoff push, had seen those effectively obliterated by a combination of inopportune penalties, critical turnovers and the breathtaking brilliance of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Jackson himself had played extremely well – he finished with 73 yards on 13 carries and eight catches for a further 73 – but ultimately it all felt like an exercise in futility.
Sadly, some would say the same of his career to date. Over the last seven years, Jackson has been one of the most consistent performers in the entire league – rushing for over 1,000 yards on each occasion. Only once in his career has he failed to reach that figure: back in his rookie season, 2004, when he was serving as the back-up to Marshall Faulk.
That, though, was also the only time in his career that Jackson has reached the playoffs. A powerful, violent, runner, Jackson has always relied on his ability to blast through defenders more than to dance around them. He has sacrificed his body year-after-year in losing efforts, maintaining his own personal high standards even when the same could not be said of all of his team-mates.
So it was on Sunday, Jackson crossing the 10,000-yard threshold just at the point when the Rams' playoff hopes for 2012 were finally fading away. St Louis had entered this game at 6-6-1, knowing that they would need to win all of their last three games and get some help from elsewhere to make the postseason. But after winning their previous three, that no longer felt quite so improbable. Momentum was building. Confidence was growing.
Minnesota wasted no time in puncturing such self-belief. The Rams had talked all week about the importance of slowing down Peterson, and began brilliantly in that regard. On Minnesota's opening possession, Peterson ran the ball five times for a total of -3 yards. Only once did he even succeed in crossing the line of scrimmage. And yet the drive still ended with a Vikings touchdown, quarterback Christian Ponder scrambling into the end zone from five yards out.
St Louis did respond, pulling level at 7-7 on a Brian Quick touchdown reception early in the second quarter, but on the very first play of the Vikings' next drive, Peterson finally broke free – racing away for an 82-yard touchdown. By half-time it was 30-7, and the game was effectively over. Likewise the Rams' playoff hopes. Although technically still alive in the NFC wildcard race, their chances, in the words of St Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Jim Thomas, "reside somewhere near the intersection of slim and none."
The challenge now for this team is to do what Jackson has done all through his career: to dust themselves off and continue playing through the last two, meaningless, games just as hard as they have to this point. "Do we want to mope around as a result of a loss to the Vikings and be that team?" asked head coach Jeff Fisher on Monday. "Or do we want to be the team that's won three out of the last four games that's going to go out and try to win another one?"
Neither of the Rams' two remaining games will be straightforward, St Louis playing on the road against Tampa Bay then Seattle. And even if they were to lose both, this would still have to be considered a positive season – the team's six wins and one tie representing a considerable improvement on last year's 2-14 debacle.
But if the Rams needed inspiration to keep fighting through these last two weeks, the need look no further than No39. "I've been blessed," said Jackson after Sunday's game. "I never forget that I was a young guy just dreaming to be a part of the NFL. When you hope and wish, you never know if it's going to come true, but I've consistently been able to just show up. Show up and be a blue-nosed, hard-working kind of guy."
Doing that might not have earned Jackson a trip to the postseason. But it has certainly won him the respect of his peers.
In the news …

Brian Burwell of the St Louis Post-Dispatch argues that the real measure of this season will be whether or not the coaching staff can turn it into a building block, rather than another false dawn.

Five-minute interview: Rams punter Johnny Hekker
You came into the league this year as an undrafted rookie punter, but as well as doing that job you've already thrown three passes including one that went for a touchdown against Seattle? Pretty much what you expected from your NFL career?
Coach Fisher told us that your ability to throw the ball was one of the qualities that persuaded him to give you the job. Were you aware of that?
I did not know that; all I knew was that on pro day their coach had me throw a little bit. I knew I brought a little bit of athleticism to the table for a punter – that was part of my skillset – but I didn't know that was anything he was ever looking for.
Did you play quarterback in high school?
I did, I was a high school quarterback, a three-sport athlete, then I just punted in college.
Did you ever think about trying to play quarterback in college?
I had a little bit of belief in myself when I first went to Oregon State, I thought maybe I'd start practicing with the team, see how we went. But I realised that my earliest way to get on the field and start for the team was going to be to punt, so I just stuck with that and put all my cards in that basket … or whatever that saying is!
Were you thinking about what would give you the best-chance to go pro?
Well my first thought was that I was a walk-on at Oregon State, I didn't have a scholarship, so I needed to get on the field and cement myself in a starting position to earn one of those. Punting was my fastest way to do that, but then over time it turned into something I loved and became passionate about.
Do you ever watch a missed throw from the sideline and think 'damn, I could have made that pass'?
No! Never. Never, never, never. These guys – the defences are so dang fast at this level. Even in college. I'm in no position to be criticising anybody.
Was there any other position you would like to have played?
Maybe if teams had a niche for a slow, tall, white wide receiver I might try and do that. I think I have somewhat decent hands for a punter. Like to get out there and catch a couple of passes, but I'm sure the first big hit I'd take from a defensive back I'd change my mind pretty quick.
You went to London earlier this year, how did you find that trip?
That was awesome. It was a great experience to go there with this team. We would have liked to come back with a win, that put a dampener on the whole experience, but the way we ran things over there was a great joy. To go see some of the big landmarks – Big Ben, the crown jewels, the tower, Buckingham Palace, all this stuff… A lot of people I know have never seen that stuff, so it was really a big blessing for me and this team.
Had you ever been to Europe before?
Never. That was my first trip. I took German in high school, I'd like to go to Germany some time – maybe in the next couple of years if I get some good time off in the offseason I'd go there. I'd definitely like to return.
What was your favourite thing about the UK?
Probably going to the Arsenal game. Going there and sitting with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He's a really cool dude. I didn't really know he was that much of a star over in England until afterwards – but just to meet him, and for him to be such a nice young man was a great experience.
What didn't you like about the UK?
The weather was a little tough. I'm from Seattle, so it's a little easier for me to deal with. It was just grey, a little cold. But aside from that it was all beautiful.
Why should fans in the UK get behind the Rams?
Fans in the UK should get behind the Rams because we're a passionate young team that is going to do good things here in the future. And we've got a punter who throws touchdown passes!

There are some seed companies, including Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (rareseeds.com), who test their seeds each year to screen for GMOs. Usually if the company is selling organic seed, it is a point of pride to offer non-GMO types and they'll advertise that fact. That said, Baker Creek noted this year they are having a harder and harder time getting pure, non-GMO seed - here in the Midwest a lot of the fields are filled w/ GMO crops, which will very easily cross-contaminate even the most pristine organic fields. So if you are adamant about avoiding GMOs you might want to go with a company that tests for them. Baker Creek is fantastic, truly one of the best out there. Sand Hill Preservation is another good seed source that is careful about what they offer. High Mowing, Johnny's and Seed Savers Exchange are good too. Another good source is to find a group of seed savers in your area and swap with them!

PS, just saw "biodegradable plastic" in the earlier post, my apologies. That is a much better solution. Still, better to try to train people out of using extra packaging when possible. Thanks for the thought provoking post.
Plastic Packaging Is Good for the Earth? | Apartment Therapy Re-Nest
I agree that we need to question our assumptions and be flexible and not puritanical, but in this case it is just a matter of common sense -- as acbuiten pointed out, it's the fact that organic matter rots back into the earth; plastic does not. And plastic has a whole range of negative effects on the environment which far outweigh having to produce three times the cucumbers, hormone disruption being only one of those factors. I think the earlier suggestion of reusing plastic bags is a good solution. And I'm just sort of perplexed by this whole thing - why start doing this now? Extra packaging *is* a problem, especially when it doesn't biodegrade very well and/or introduces a host of life-unfriendly materials into the water and soil? Also, I think there's the whole issue of the deep dysfunction that runs through the whole industrial food system. Not that we have a handy replacement at the moment, but I think it is imperative for people to start thinking about how to NOT eat in these sorts of ways. Of course you have to respond to the environment you find yourself in, but why not push for a better solution than this? What we have in place right now is a bunch of strung together solutions like this one that take the place of true, systemic change for the better in our food system.
Plastic Packaging Is Good for the Earth? | Apartment Therapy Re-Nest
The great oceanic garbage patch = smackdown on this argument. "Off" fruits and vegetables can be composted. Even if you end up with moldy cucumbers in your fridge, it doesn't take that much energy, once you get a composting system set up, to turn that dead cuke into humus. Plastic is forever. It's true that not everyone has a backyard for composting but there are very often garden groups who are actively looking for compostable waste. Busy is a lame argument for not switching gears; any habit change is hard, but once you have a system in place as far as better shopping, cooking and eating habits it's not all that hard. I vote not to let American consumers off the hook on this one, this is exactly the opposite of the direction we need to go.

Colwyn Bay police officers last week took to the Bay View shopping centre to conduct 'Balance your Bobbies' surveys.
Several people assisted with the survey, which is an interactive scheme whereby people can indicate which issues they would like the police to concentrate on in their area.
Neighbourhood issues vary from area to area. They can be anything from graffiti, alcohol related antisocial behaviour, car crime to speeding drivers and may include other higher profile crimes, such as drug dealing or violence.
Pleased at the public response, Inspector Essi Ahari said: It's all about engagement – getting people to tell us what they want. The more feed back we get the better it is."
"This is not replacing community meetings, it is another avenue for people to talk to us – it's quick, very simple and its ward specific."
Teresa Carnall, Chair of the Colwyn Bay and District Chamber of Trade added: "This is a fantastic idea as long as everything is noted and implemented, because it's giving people the opportunity to have their say."
There are a number of means for the public to make the police aware of these issues through regular local public meetings, Police Authority Community Forums, Force wide surveys, and feedback through Police Authority members, and others.
The Balance your Bobbies interactive project was launched at the National Eisteddfod in Bala in August 2009. The web based version of Balance your Bobbies was launched online in November 2009.

Our acclaimed designer lighting aesthetic merges metal pipe fittings with the highest-quality crystal -- creating industrial style chandeliers and other modern lighting ideal for applications in home, hospitality, and business. We also custom-make and fabricate beautiful chandeliers, pendants, sconces, or other modern lighting fixtures for any home or commercial space large or small.
Modern Lighting with Limitless Applications
We use raw industrial components like black steel gas pipes, brass fittings, plumbing parts, and taut steel cables to craft artistic and intuitive structures. We then drench these forms with spectacular high-quality crystal to create new and unique industrial chandeliers and other unique modern lighting.
Whether it's a large linear chandelier for over a dining room table, a cute industrial pendant, or a custom chandelier for a bar, lounge, hotel or restaurant, we've taken care to get the mix between industrial and glamorous, masculine and feminine, raw and refined, exactly right.
In addition to our collections of industrial chic crystal chandeliers and modern lighting, Michael McHale Designs can custom-make or fabricate any fixture according to your project specifications.
Our unique lights have been featured in The New York Times (twice!), New York Magazine, Dwell, CoolHunting, Apartment Therapy, and many other magazines and blogs.

Major League Baseball suspended umpire Fieldin Culbreth for two games because he was in charge of the crew that allowed Houston Astros manager Bo Porter to improperly switch relievers in the middle of an inning.
Culbreth and the rest of his crew — Brian O'Nora, Bill Welke and Adrian Johnson — were also fined an undisclosed amount after MLB admitted its umps goofed for the second day. Culbreth and his crew worked the Padres-Rays game in Tampa, Fla., on Friday.
The problem in Houston came a day after Angel Hernandez and his crew in Cleveland failed to reverse a clear-cut home run after looking at a video review. MLB executive vice president Joe Torre said the umpires made an "improper call."
Swings and misses
Some of the San Diego Padres called it a split-finger fastball, others called it a changeup. Whatever it was that Tampa Bay's Alex Cobb was throwing, the Padres were swinging and missing.
Cobb struck out 13 in fewer than five innings and Ryan Roberts and Ben Zobrist drove in two runs apiece to help the Rays rally for a 6-3 victory Friday night.
Cobb became the first pitcher in major-league history to strike out that many batters and fail to make it through the fifth inning. The right-hander faced 23 batters and left after throwing 117 pitches in 4⅔ innings.
On the sidelines
Boston Red Sox closer Joel Hanrahan will have surgery on his right forearm next week and require a recovery time of six to nine months. ... Washington Nationals left fielder Bryce Harper was out of the lineup after having an ingrown toenail removed, while right fielder Jayson Werth went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. The team recalled outfielder Eury Perez from Triple-A Syracuse. ... Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Rajai Davis was put on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained oblique muscle in his left side. ... Colorado Rockies outfielder Michael Cuddyer expects to undergo an MRI exam Monday for neck stiffness. ... Florida Marlins infielder Chris Valaika had two pins inserted in his left wrist in Miami. He's expected to be out six to eight weeks. ... The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred right-hander Chad Billingsley to the 60-day disabled list. He had Tommy John elbow surgery April 24.

The Independent
When Ashland Inc. moved its corporate headquarters from Russell to Covington in the late 1990s, some thought it would greatly curtail area fund-raising activities at the annual United Way campaign. But the United Way of Northeast Kentucky not only has survived the departure of its largest employer from this community, it has thrived.
At Thursday night's annual recognition dinner for the United Way of Northeast Kentucky, it was announced that the annual fund-raising campaign of the United Way in Boyd, Greenup, Carter, Lawrence and Elliott counties had surpassed its goal for the 15th consecutive year by raising more than $750,000. When one considers the economy of this region since the Great Recession began in 2008, that's an impressive string of success and yet another indication of what a giving community this is.
To be sure, the departure of Ashland Inc. and all of its employees who were so active in the life of this community was difficult to overcome. After all, Ashland Inc. contributed more than $200,000 a year to the United Way with half of it coming from the company and half coming from employees. Fortunately, Ashland Inc. continued to give smaller amounts to the local United Way after moving to Covington to lessen the impact on this community. At the same time, local employers like King's Daughters Medical Center, Marathon Oil, AK Steel and Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital met the challenge and increased their giving to the United Way. So did dozens of smaller employers in the five counties. Carter, Lawrence and Elliott counties also joined Boyd and Greenup counties to form the United Way of Northeast Kentucky. The United Way now involves far more companies and their workers than it ever did when most of the giving came from four or five large employers.
Executive Director Steve Towler also deserves much of the praise for the success of the local United Way. Towler returned to his home town after 20 years as an award-winning school superintendent. He became the first full time director of the local United Way 14 years ago, and quickly developed a passion for the United Way. Not only did the United Way achieve its fundraising goal every year Towler was the executive director, it also branched out into new areas that have little to do with fundraising. It became a catalyst in the creation of The Neighborhood, the former Johnson's Dairy building that now is home to five non-profit agencies. It developed a volunteer center and the BankOn program that is helping unbanked residents learn to take advantage of banks. With most federal checks, including Social Security, going to direct deposit payments beginning March1, the timing of the program could not be better.
Towler announced Thursday that he is stepping down as executive director. He certainly will be missed, but he is leaving an organization that is in excellent shape. He has paved the way for what should be an easy transition in leadership.

Go ahead and compare HBO's new drama The Leftovers to Lost. Just go on and get it out of you system.On the surface, the two shows undoubtedly share some DNA. Both were co-created by Damon Lindelof. Both explore the struggle between science and faith. And both feature a large cast of characters trying to move on from a life-altering event. But the thing that sets the two shows apart is crucial: While Lost was derided by many for the answers it provided to the show's once-celebrated head-scratchers, The Leftovers has absolutely zero interest in explaining its central mystery.Summer TV: Check out all the must-see new showsBased on Tom Perrotta's 2011 novel of the same name, The Leftovers kicks off with the sudden disappearance of 2 percent of the Earth's population...

"Everybody's ready to feel better," says the mayor of a suburban Anytown that acts as a microcosm of a shattered world in HBO's existentially bleak The Leftovers (Sunday, 10/9c). And chances are you'll require your own pick-me-up after sampling the darkest and most problematic of a new wave of end-times summer series that includes TNT's gung-ho hit The Last Ship and FX's upcoming vampire-virus horror-show The Strain (July 13).

South Pole Success – Antony becomes the 12th Briton to have ever skied to both the Geographic North and South Poles. Invite him into your classroom or company
Antony successfully completed the challenging 730 mile expedition in 46 days on his own, arriving on the 16th January which enabled him to stand at the Geographic South Pole on the 17th January, the 102nd anniversary of his hero Captain Scott arriving there in 1912. By completing this expedition Antony became one of only 12 Britons to accomplish successful full-length expeditions to both the North and South poles.
This interactive expedition involved 63 schools who followed and engaged with Antony and his panel of experts online via www.ETETeachers.org. Over 8000 pupils took part in activities both online and during workshops building up to the expedition and whilst Antony was away on the ice. This figure is increasing as Antony aims to visit more schools, promoting his achievements and knowledge of the polar environment.
Antony has now completed 16 expeditions to both the Arctic and Antarctica which has enabled him to build up a range of knowledge on polar related topics including; wildlife, Inuit culture, climate change, geography and of course expedition skills.
In 2010 Antony founded Education Through Expeditions (ETE) a non profit organisation aimed at raising aspirations of young people and developing initiative online teaching through the web platform ETE Teachers.
If you would like to arrange for Antony to visit your school, business, event or organisation then please do get in touch via the contact page.

Rhys Darby – Edinburgh Festival review
Gah! I just want Rhys Darby to own the room. There are some fantastic routines in This Way To Spaceship, and he's got them absolutely nailed, you just don't know he's, erm, present.
He's got the room at his mercy – people buy a Rhys Darby ticket to see Rhys Darby, not because it's the only one left to be sold out. He doesn't need to win them over. Plus it's Saturday night, people are up for a laugh. THIS IS AN OPEN GOAL. And don't get me wrong, the room does enjoy it, but it should fly and it doesn't. The guy next to me was drifting in and out of sleep for literally half the show. Nod, nod, nod, jerk up, sink down, sink down, nod, nod, nod, and so on. He's not representative of the audience, clearly, but I can see how it happens.
Darby just doesn't dominate the room in the way that the cavernous Pleasance Grand needs dominating. The exception being the rock n roll, rabble-rousing opening and the big ending to indicate to everyone that they've had a night out – but Darby wouldn't need such a big ending if the rest of the show did the heavy lifting. It might all just hinge on projection and natural stage presence.
This Way To Spaceship is considerably funnier than the last show of Darby's I saw (2006's Based On Actual Events). His routines still veer between the surreal and the observational, with the sort of playful imagination that reminds of Eddie Izzard, but the material is simply a lot stronger. His trademark physical humour and vocal mimicry are as impressive as ever, elevating potentially unoriginal material (Olympics, incompetence with women, social awkwardness) into brilliant set pieces, and, commendably he doesn't overuse his prodigious abilities. His impression of a horse performing dressage truly sticks in the brain.
As for the title, that's the show's context, whereby there has been armageddon on earth and only a handful of people have made it away in tact. It allows Darby to indulge his sci-fi geek side like an endearingly big kid, and gives him the room to simply tell his life story. Essentially this an autobiographical show masquerading as a high-concept one, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I doubt Darby's many fans leave particularly disappointed, but I suspect nor will it be the Fringe showstopper they were after. I keep returning to my original gripe. Ultimately, I bet no one ever nodded off during a Jim Carrey show.
3.5 stars
Rhys Darby: This Way To Spaceship is on at 8pm at the Pleasance Courtyard

Malpractice, Scene #01
Malpractice, Scene #01
Hot House Video
- 9.5/10
Trenton Ducati can't remember much from last night's party; all he knows is that his dick is rock hard and his ass is on fire. Dr. Dean Flynn orders the muscular stud to open his hole and pulls out a bullet-shaped metal butt-plug. That explains his burning ass; but now what to do with that giant boner? Dr. Dean is on it - literally. He swallows Trenton's massive cock to the base then flips him over to eat out his ass. This unconventional treatment drives Trenton wild as he demands that the Doctor fuck him. Dean shoves his big cock in Trenton's ass and fucks him hard. The dirty doctor pulls out and shoves his dick in his patient's mouth. Trenton sucks a load out of Dean then jacks off and shoots a healthy stream of cum all over the exam room floor.

Southern-style Banana Cream Pie with Peanut Brittle Crust and Warm Bourbon Caramel Sauce
Yield: Makes one 9-inch pie
These ingredients are:
Vegetarian Soy-free
There are numerous variations on the theme of good ol' banana cream pie. You certainly can use a prebaked pastry crust, perhaps sprinkled with crushed brittle or chopped peanuts, or your favorite cookie-crumb-style crust. You can make the filling from scratch or use an excellent vanilla pudding mix. The key is to create a decadent, cool, silky environment for really great organic bananas.
This recipe from my grandmother's ever-bountiful kitchen really ups the wow factor with the addition of peanut brittle or roasted peanuts in the crust and as a garnish, and a smoky bourbon caramel sauce for drizzling each slice. Yum!
For the Pastry Cream Filling
- 4 egg yolks Add to list
- 1/2 cup sugar Add to list
- 2 tablespoons flour Add to list
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch Add to list
- 3/4 teaspoon salt Add to list
- 2 cups milk or half and half Add to list
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped Add to list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste Add to list
- 1 tablespoon bourbon (optional) Add to list
For the pie
- 1/2 cup of your favorite caramel sauce Add to list
- 2 tablespoons bourbon Add to list
- 2 large or 3 medium-size organic bananas, thinly sliced on the diagonal Add to list
- Pastry cream filling Add to list
- Peanut Brittle Pie Crust Add to list
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream Add to list
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar Add to list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste Add to list
- Chopped peanut brittle or finely chopped peanuts Add to list
To make the Pastry Cream Filling
In a medium bowl, beat together the egg yolks, sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt. Heat the milk or half and half until it is just starting to simmer. Add the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly until blended. Pour the mixture back in the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it bubbles and thickens (about 3 to 4 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla and bourbon (if you are using it).
Allow to cool completely. You can make this mixture a day ahead and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
To make the pie
Combine the caramel sauce and the bourbon in a small pot and allow to simmer for 1 minute to dissipate some of the alcohol.
Layer the bananas and pastry cream filling into the crust, finishing the top with the pastry cream. Beat the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla and mound over the top. Sprinkle with chopped peanut brittle or peanuts and serve with warm bourbon sauce.
PCC sells wonderful organic vanilla pudding mix, which, although not quite as decadent, would be great in this recipe in place of the pie filling. A 3.8-ounce package makes 2 cups of pudding, just right for the pie. I like to add a touch of vanilla bean paste scraped from the inside of a vanilla bean or perhaps a splash of bourbon to the finished pudding!

The daughter of a Checotah man knows how an explosion, crash, gunshot, sickness or emotional trauma can push a military service member to a place of unfamiliarity — the sidelines. And through the healing process, Paralympic sport gives many survivors the chance to prove anyone can overcome disability.
Retired Army Staff Sgt. Chanda Gaeth, daughter of Paul Gaeth of Checotah, competed for the Army team during the 2013 Warrior Games last month at the U.S. Olympic Training Center and at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Throughout the seven-day event, wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans from the Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard, as well as some from Special Operations Command and a team from the British military, competed in track and field, shooting, swimming, cycling, archery, wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball makeup the events.
Gaeth won eight medals in track and field and swimming. Her impressive haul included gold medals in Women's 50 Meter Freestyle (Spinal Cord Injury) and Women's 50 Meter Backstroke (Spinal Cord Injury); silver medals in Women's 100 Meter Freestyle (Spinal Cord Injury), Women's 100 Meters (Wheelchair), Women's 200 Meters (Wheelchair) and Women's 1,500 Meters (Wheelchair); and bronze medals in Women's Shot Put (Wheelchair/Other Combined) and Women's Discus (Wheelchair/Other Combined).
Last year, Gaeth brought home medals in all of her events. She trained three times a week before this year's competition.
She said being a part of the Army Warrior Games team is like being with family.
"Coming from a long line of military family members, competing with Team Army is my way to stay connected," Gaeth said in a media release. "I want to make the Army, my country and my family proud of me."
Gaeth's military journey began when she signed up for the Wisconsin National Guard at 17. During her military career, she served in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm as well as in missions in Somalia and the Republic of South Korea.
She was medically discharged from the Army in 2006 for having a traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury and for a having cognitive disorder. Gaeth, who must use a wheelchair, said training for the Warrior Games improved her strength, cognitive abilities and her speed and range of motion.
"The Warrior Games keep me involved and active," Gaeth said in the release. "The sports have made me stronger and better able to handle my disability. Plus, I've made lifelong friends."
Gaeth has two sons; one of them serves in the Army.
At Warrior Games, disabled veterans get a chance to shine

Led by Most Valuable Player Zoe Zeiter and all-tourney selection DaLynn Martin, Belleville West won all five of its matches Saturday and knocked off host Quincy in the championship round of the Quincy Early Bird Volleyball Invitational.
West (6-0) knocked off Quincy 26-24, 25-22 in the championship match for its fifth straight win on the day. Zeiter had a match-high 12 kills in the title match while Sarah Owens had six kills and Kayla Juenger had five.
Quincy got eight kills from Monica Bumbry.
The Maroons used better balance and an edge in offensive firepower to upend Quincy.
"We're so balanced," West coach Austin Betz said. "Zoe is our best hitter but we can go to any one of our hitters, and they can put the ball away. It's great, because our setters do a great job of spreading it out. It makes it tough on the other team."
The Maroons lost only one game Saturday, taken to three games by Pekin before beating the Dragons 25-18, 17-25, 15-10. West also rolled through Galesburg (25-19, 25-16), Springfield Lanphier (25-20, 25-11) and (East Moline) United Township (25-16, 25-16) before beating Quincy for the title.

- How Well Do You Know Your Boss? Can you name at least two or three things you boss enjoys doing in their spare time outside the office? If not, your relationship is more on the professional side and it is not likely that your boss will notice or care much if you do not give him/her a gift.
- Can You Really Afford It? Is your desire to give a gift based on the fear you cannot afford to not give your boss a gift? If your job security really is dependent upon giving your boss a gift, it is time to find a new boss. If it really is about the money think "downloads." A $10 iTunes card or Amazon card will get you ten "tunes" or ten books on Kindel.
Not Giving A Gift is Better Than Giving a Cheap Gift
There are not many too meaningful gifts that you can buy these days for $5.00 and a cheap gift will usually appear just that - cheap, insincere, or like a "token" gift.
Cheap gifts send the message that you are only offering a gift because you felt that you had to, or were too lazy to put any thought into the gift.
If you really do not have cash to spend, that's okay -- write a note card wishing your boss a happy birthday or happy holiday and jot a quick note about how much you appreciate them.
Gifts Should Convey the Right Message, Not a Price Tag
Giving extravagant gifts to get something in return, or outshine co-workers is never a good idea. Extravagant gifts do not make you look good and usually make the recipient feel uncomfortable.
Expensive gifts at work almost always seem out of proportion to any occasion, especially when compared to simple, less expensive gifts other workers are giving. The message you send is not how generous you are, but that you are a gift show off.
Before selecting a gift, ask yourself what message does the gift -- and the reason for giving the gift -- convey about you? The right gift should show that you cared enough to give an appropriate and thoughtful gift out of appreciation and respect.
Guidelines for gift giving in the workplace are simple: There are no "mandatory" holiday gift giving rules -- everything is discretionary based. Even the unwritten guidelines for exactly how little and how much you can safely spend on your boss depend upon your salary and position with the company:
