Magic Bus' work in Majri, Masal, Pirli communities of Chandrapur district is made possible with the support of our donor, Dorothy & Nikhil Wagle. This report is a representative of the impact in the Magic Bus Programme in Chandrapur district, where the above communities are located.
Thank You, Dorothy & Nikhil!
Chandrapur is a remote district in Maharashtra, and closely borders Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The local language spoken here is Gondi and there is a population of 2.2 million people, with only 35% of the area being urbanized. The overall literacy rate of the region is 81.4% with male literacy at 88.7% while for female it's much lower at 73.7%, exhibiting a difference of 15% in the male female literacy ratio.
Magic Bus has been conducting sessions and events in the villages of Chandrapur over the past one year, the following figures give details about the impact of the same.
Magic Bus works with some of the world's poorest children and young people, taking them from a childhood full of challenges to a life with meaningful livelihoods. We equip young people with the skills and knowledge they need to grow up and move out of poverty.
Children on the Magic Bus Programme complete school, and go on to enroll in vocational institutes or colleges. They successfully fend off destabilizers such as child marriage and child labour and become first-generation salary earners. Our participants complete their education and have secure careers.
The below report is a representative of the impact in the Magic Bus Programme in Chandrapur, where the communities are located.
Magic Bus conducts one of the largest programmes in Chandrapur district, reaching out to 15088 children across several villages. Weekly sessions and events were conducted with over 500 groups of children on various domains covering rapport building, education, gender, socio-emotional learning, health, right to play and other needs-based issues, by over 450 Community Youth Leaders (CYLs) with an average of 950 sessions per month. The Magic Bus childhood to livelihood programme ensures that the children are engaged in a 7 year journey, and this multiyear engagement is necessary in breaking the poverty cycle.
Almost all the children in the Magic Bus programme are enrolled in school as observed in figure below, while 91.47% of them attend school regularly, this is significantly higher than the national average of 71.0%.
A total of 94.08% of all the children in the Magic Bus Programme believe that girls should pursue their higher education. According to the figure below, none of the girls in the Magic Bus programme are married below the legal age.
Sessions are held weekly and are divided into 3 parts:
Salman Sheikh never knew he could have friends who understood him or invited him to play. But that was before he had the opportunity to come for a Magic Bus session.
Salman studies in the seventh standard of a government school in his village, Gudgaon in Chandrapur district. His father runs a roadside stall on a cart, selling bangles and earrings. His mother is a homemaker. The family income is around Rs 5000 ($75) per month. There are 7 members in his family.
He was born with an uneven foot. As a result he was never invited to participate in games. His peers made fun of him and excluded him from any group activity. Salman is an attentive learner and is quite popular among teachers. But he didn't have friends.
In 2014, during a community mobilisation event, Salman signed up for a Magic Bus session. He was hesitant to join. He was afraid of being humiliated. In the first few sessions, he did not participate at all. But when the facilitator tried including him, he felt encouraged. He joined in.
With each session, he started opening up. He faced his insecurities and found his peers share similar fears. Before long, he made friends and won respect for his energy and determination to give his best to any opportunity that comes his way.
Salman is confident. He studies, plays, participates in group activities, and engages with the messages at the end of the session. He shares his opinions with less hesitation and fear.
Shrutika studies in the seventh standard of a government school in Chichpalli village, Chandrapur district, Maharashtra. Both her parents are college drop-outs. Her father is a daily wage earner. In fact, daily wage work is one of the prominent livelihood options of residents of her village. This, along with traditional crafts like weaving bamboo baskets is some of the ways people employ themselves. Her mother is a homemaker but also does a bit of tailoring work. Shrutika has two siblings and all of them attend school.
With the coming of digitized flexes her father's main source of income took a major blow. He used to get a fair pay for his painting work during elections. But slowly this started reducing forcing him to take up odd jobs with uncertain pay. As the income decreased, Shrutika's mother also took up wage work to make ends meet.
In 2013, Shrutika joined Magic Bus. Initially, she saw it as a recreation –a break from studies and home. As she continued coming, she realised that her behaviour and thought process was changing. She was becoming more open and less fearful. She also started participating actively in extracurricular activities. She was motivated to do well in whatever she took up whether it was painting, music or lessons.
Shrutika looks up to her mentor as a role model. She wants to be a mentor too. Her ambition is to become a software engineer.

Could Porcupine Quills Help Us Design the Next Hypodermic Needle?
Could Porcupine Quills Help Us Design the Next Hypodermic Needle?
If you've ever had a violent encounter with a porcupine, it probably didn't end well. The large rodents are most well-known for the coat of some 30,000 barbed quills that cover their backs, an evolutionary adaptation to protect against predators. Although they appear thin—even flimsy—once quills lodge in your flesh, they're remarkably difficult and painful to get out.
Recently, a group of scientists led by Jeffrey Karp of Harvard decided to closely investigate just what makes these quills so effective. As they report in an article published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, their analysis revealed a specialized microscopic barbed structure that enables the quills to slide into tissue extremely easily but cling to it stubbornly once it's in place.

I recently got to go to Bootsy's on a Saturday night with some friends and I was soooo excited! I'm a fan of his music and I love obnoxious colors! Prepare yourself - this review has lots of pictures!!! That's what happens with a tapas menu...it's basically like a big menu of appetizer sized portions - so you can order 4-5 tapas for 2 people and have PLENTY of food!
Those are the seat back cushions - random thing to take a picture of but they're so cute! The atmosphere is bright and colorful and not quite the stimulus overload I was expecting. It's a classy obnoxious...which is definitely fun!
We arrived for a 715 reservation and had to wait about 30 minutes - not a great way to start but understandable - it's brand new and really busy.
Most of our party decided on ordering a variety of tapas and we were very excited for them to come out! We asked the waitress for her thoughts - she basically read the whole menu - not exactly what we were looking for but we had our own thoughts anyway. I don't remember who ordered what but we all tried everything so I'll post photos and then comments (click and get the pic larger - sorry if some are a little fuzzy when enlarged):
Columbia Salad - Ham, Emmenthal Swiss, Tomato, Olives, Iceberg, Garlic Vinaigrette - 8
Kinda wish this had something other than iceberg but we were really pleasantly surprised. It was dressed very well and was like a chef's salad. Also very easy to split between 2-3 people if enjoyed with tapas.Ropa Viejá - Pulled Cuban Short Ribs, Arepa Cake, Queso Fresco - 9
I loved it...friend thought it was a little too salty (I love salt). This was probably my favorite of the tapas. The meat melted in your mouth and the sauce was delicious - the cheese added some "cool" and the arepa cake was a nice balance to the salty taste of the meat.Fish Tacos - Corn Tortillas, Cilantro, Spanish Onions, House Sauce - 9
I didn't get to taste these but John said they were pretty good but he didn't seem to be overwhelmed.Braised Pork Belly - Ulmo Honey, Onion Marmalade, Tostones - 11
I had a bite and it was the best Pork Belly I'd had before - I've heard it can be wonderful if cooked right. John was pleased as well...Beef Short Ribs - Grilled Arepa, Queso Fresco, Rioja Red Sauce - 22
Judi enjoyed the short ribs very much - she had the grilled arepa - we weren't exactly sure what it was. I had it in the Ropa Vieja as well - sort of a solid cake of polenta maybe? I'd almost like to try the ropa, pork belly and short ribs all together and see how different they taste - it's hard to tell from just one bite.Pappardelle - Spanish Fennel Sausage, Rapini, Chick Peas, Roma Tomatos - 11 Half
Excellent - such a nice flavor - very light and a lot of great flavor.Gratineed Aged Goat's Cheese - Tomato Fondue, Grilled Cuban Bread - 7
Skip it - marinara is uninspired, goat cheese wasn't that good (and I love goat cheese), bread was fine but no real flavor.Duck Tacos - Fresh Corn Tortillas, Queso Fresco, Apricot-Mango Salsa - 9
Loved them - Scott just thought they were okay but I thought they were almost as good as the pork tacos from Nada. Didn't realize there was apricot/mango salsa on it until just now!I honestly don't remember which sushi we got but whatever it was - I didn't care for it. I think I'd rather just stick with sushi at all my thai places.
So overall - the food was definitely a positive! We all enjoyed the experience and I personally can't wait to go back. FYI - they even have a suckling pig you can order 72 hours in advance - they normally bring it out on a big cart, etc... There are also a couple of chef's menus...but we didn't feel like springing for the extra bucks that night.
Without drinks - if you order 4-5 tapas at an average of $10/each - you can get out of there for $25+tip - which I think is a great deal for the food, ambiance and variety!
Also - just make sure you check out the bathrooms...they're awesome! Pink Pink Pink! I love that attention to detail!
We left around 945 and by that time the bar area was PACKED PACKED PACKED!!!!! So - make sure and get your reservations made on OpenTable: Cincinnati Restaurants so you have a seat!

The ingredients for snowmaking are water, air and cold. The diagram below shows how compressed air and cold water must be combined to break up the water into tiny particles that turn to ice and then snow as they come into contact with cold air. The combination of air and water depends on the outside temperature; the colder the air temperature, the less compressed air needed and vice versa.
In 2007 Efficiency Vermont hired Sno-matic Controls and Engineering to conduct a controlled test of Bolton's snowmaking operations. Because of this study we purchased 20 new HKD snow guns. HKD snowguns are more efficient than regular snow guns because more water pressure is used in the system, which means that less compressed air needs to be used. We positioned the HKDs low on the mountain to maximize their water pressure and therefore, efficiency. The tower design of the HKDs allows water to be expelled 10-30 feet higher than the standard snowgun so less compressed air is needed to diffuse the water because it has more airtime to fall and crystallize.
The same year, we also rebuilt both of the pumps at the Timberline snowmaking pump house that pump water to the snow guns and purchased a new electric Atlas air compressor. This compressor runs constantly during snowmaking and two back-up diesel
compressors are rented to provide the rest of the compressed air needed during peak snowmaking times.
In 2008 we continued to improve based on Sno-matic's findings. Increasing the size of a mile of our snowmaking water pipe from 4 to 6 inches increased our pumping capacity to 1000 gallons per minute. We purchased 2 SMI Super Polecat fan guns to replace the less efficient Ratnik snow guns in the terrain parks. These two snowguns are permanent but we also have two portable SMIs. SMI snowmakers are more efficient because they use fans to throw the snow up to 150 feet into the air. Their electronic on-board compressor does not need to be connected to the main compressed air line, it can simply be plugged into a 480 volt electrical socket.
In 2009 we retrofitted 12 of our Ratnik snow guns with efficient heads. This retrofit resulted in significant electric and fuel savings as well as a noticeable improvement in the quality of snow production during poor snowmaking conditions. The success of the 2009 retrofit encouraged us to retrofit the remaining 10 Ratnik snow guns in 2011 and now almost all of our snowguns are high efficiency.
The savings from these improvements have already paid for themselves and more. Not to mention the environmental savings of 176,291 kWh and 171 tons of CO2 per year! The increased efficiency of our snowmaking operation now allows us to run more guns at once because each one now requires less compressed air. More available air mean means that there is more air to pump water and more snow can be made, which is a good thing for everyone!

Williams strong enough to win again - Maldonado
- Drivers:
- Pastor Maldonado
- Teams:
- Williams
Pastor Maldonado thinks Williams has the ability to win more races this year after he took his debut victory with the team in 2012.
Maldonado won the Spanish Grand Prix last year but was caught up in a number of incidents throughout the rest of the season that meant he missed out on potential returns to the podium. However, he is confident Williams will be strong enough in 2013 for him to win again this season.
"We are fighting with mega teams and maybe we don't have everything to be winning the championships, but I think we are going to win some races and we can be very competitive," he told ESPN in an exclusive interview. "I don't know if we can be at a very high level all through the year, but we are doing our best with the tools we have in the factory to do a good car."
Asked whether the uncertainty over this year's tyres, which struggled to operate properly in the cold conditions during pre-season testing, could help Williams fight against the big teams, he said: "We have some problems with the tyres but we look around and the other teams are having some problems and everyone is complaining about the tyres. But that's the tyre we have and we have to race with that.
"We are trying to gain a deep understanding of the situation and I have a great feeling. We did a race simulation, and yes there was big degradation, but not too bad. For sure it can make even easier for us the situation in the championship."

Story highlights
- Alex Rodriguez withdraws federal lawsuits seeking to overturn doping suspension
- Notices of dismissal were filed Friday
- The Yankees slugger received a record 162-game suspension for alleged steroid use
New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, who received a 162-game doping suspension, Friday withdrew his lawsuits against Major League Baseball, Commissioner Bud Selig and the players' union.
In the lawsuits, Rodriguez had sought to get a Manhattan federal court to throw out the record-setting penalty.
Notices of dismissal in the lawsuits were filed Friday in Manhattan, meaning the player will accept the suspension and sit out the 2014 season.
There was no immediate comment from Rodriguez's attorneys or his spokesman, Ron Berkowitz.
In a statement, Major League Baseball said: "We have been informed that Alex Rodriguez has reached the prudent decision to end all of the litigation related to the Biogenesis matter. We believe that Mr. Rodriguez's actions show his desire to return the focus to the play of our great game on the field and to all of the positive attributes and actions of his fellow Major League Players. We share that desire."
The Major League Baseball Players Association said in a statement: "Alex Rodriguez has done the right thing by withdrawing his lawsuit. His decision to move forward is in everyone's best interest."
In one of the lawsuits, filed in October, Rodriguez had alleged that MLB and Selig "engaged in tortious and egregious conduct with one and only one goal ... to destroy the reputation and career of Alex Rodriguez."
The lawsuit had claimed that in its investigation of Anthony Bosch and his Biogenesis anti-aging clinic in Miami, MLB engaged in vigilante justice to prove that Rodriguez was using performance enhancing drugs.
Rodriguez has said that the investigation, which was supposed to stay private, has permanently harmed his reputation and ensured that he will never again secure any endorsement contracts.
The lawsuit included had claimed that MLB went around collective bargain agreements to make an example of Rodriguez and to "gloss over Selig's past inaction and tacit approval of the use of performance enhancing substances in baseball and to secure his legacy as the savior of America's pastime."
Major League Baseball arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last month upheld most of Rodriguez's 211-game doping suspension, keeping him out of the 2014 regular season and the postseason. It was the most severe punishment in baseball history for doping and a highlight of baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's recent high-profile crackdown on performance-enhancing drugs.
The suspension will not only cost Rodriguez $25 million in salary, but it also further clouds the groundbreaking career of a player who'll turn 40 in the 2015 season.
Rodriguez, one of 14 players suspended in the Biogenesis scandal, was the only one who appealed his suspension. Though he was suspended in August, Rodriguez played out the 2013 season because of the appeal.

Q: Why do you think so many adults recommend Katherines more so than your other books?
To be frank with you, I think it appeals to teachers and librarians because it is the way to teach and share my work that involves the least sex.
What kind of question would you like answered?
To be frank with you, I think it appeals to teachers and librarians because it is the way to teach and share my work that involves the least sex.
I never re-read my books. (I re-read both Katherines and Paper Towns years ago for movie things, but I would never re-read them for fun.) There are several reasons for this:
1. The world contains a lot of books—far more than I can ever read—and to read my own books seems weird and narcissistic.
2. It's not a pleasant experience for me, because I'm always thinking of all the things I could've done differently and better, and wanting to go back and change things.
3. When a book comes out, I really truly feel done with it. Like, I'm very happy to talk about it with people, and I'm definitely interested in people's reactions to it, and I want to do everything I can to help the book find its widest possible audience. But by that point, I've read the thing hundreds of times. That's enough. :)
I like Katherines! I do! I do not think of it as less good than my other books; I just think it's very different. It's a comic novel, and a zany one, but I'm just as proud of it as I am of my other books. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of any of my books. I always feel very conscious of the times I ran up against the limit of my talent, or failed to make something clear, or might've made a better joke, or could've been more emotionally honest, or whatever. That's just the nature of the enterprise, I think.
I never tried to anagram the title. There are a lot of little anagram easter eggs in the book, but I never thought of doing that with the title, because this book—unlike all my others—had a title from the moment I began writing it.
It is the worst-selling of my books (by a fair bit), but the people who like it seem to REALLY like it, which is cool. Also, the current cover (designed by nerdfighter Sarah Turbin) seems to have given the book fresh life, so it may be too soon to judge.
There's a lot at play here. I do think the fact that the book involves a lot of abstract mathematics (even though you don't have to know anything about math to read the story) is intimidating to some people. Also, Colin isn't a very easy person to like, especially at first. And I think for some readers the book feels more like an exercise in cleverness or somehow less emotionally grounded than my other books. (My favorite professor from college, who God bless him cannot tell a lie, said, "I liked your first book. Your second one, schticky.")
All that noted, Katherines has still had a great life, and I'm really pleased that so many people have responded to it so generously over the years.
No, I'm not very good at anagramming at all. Nor was I in any way a child prodigy. (I was not a good student in high school.) I do, however, enjoy anagramming, which made the countless hours I spent on anagram web sites entertaining. The best anagram site by far is I, Rearrangement Servant (that is, Internet Anagram Server), which you can find here.
Well, I'm just very fond of Hassan. I don't even really understand why. But I still think about him a lot and imagine him making jokes. So if someone put a gun to my head or something and told me to write a sequel to one of my books, it would probably involve Hassan in some way, because he's the only character I still think about a lot.
Well, if Islam forbids premarital kissing, I am unaware of it.
That said, drinking alcohol is unambiguously haram, and by having him drink, I wanted to point out that religious faith and practice exists on a continuum: Many Muslims don't pray five times a day. Many Muslims drink alcohol. Many Jews don't keep kosher.
These narrow definitions of religiosity don't hold up, at least not to Hassan.
Lindsey's life feels very performed and she feels this distance between how she thinks of herself and how she acts.
I can't speak for everyone, but at least among people I've talked to, this feeling is damn near universal. I still feel it, actually: I feel like a total imposter as a writer and as a person, and I often feel like any minute someone will notice that I am a total phony and everyone will stop reading my books, etc.
But the process of trying to live an authentic life is complicated, as Lindsey discovers. I think you hit at something important in your question, though, by linking worry and authenticity. Colin is super-annoying in a lot of ways, but one thing he can't help but be is himself, and that is really attractive to Lindsey.
And when you acknowledge that there is nothing repulsive or unforgivable or shameful about yourself, it becomes easier to be that authentic person and feel like you're living a less performed life.
I can't imagine the story outside the text of the story. Like, I can't see further into the future and know if he and Lindsey get married, or if Hassan graduates from college, or if Colin ever becomes a genius.
All that stuff is for you to imagine, if you wish to.
There are many child prodigies who grow up to lead very ordinary lives; there are others who are paralyzed by their prodigious childhoods and never find their way in adulthood. And then there are prodigies like Norbert Weiner, who enjoy exceptionally productive adulthoods and get rooms at MIT named after them.
But I think by the end of the novel, Colin is measuring success a little differently than just seeking genius.
I'm a novelist, not a doctor, so I won't attempt to diagnose any of my characters. But I was conscious of the way people on the autistic spectrum struggle to read certain social cues, and the way their brains process and store information.
Well he counts people he only held hands with, which to many of us would not constitute a full-fledged boyfriend-girlfriend type romantic relationship.
I was conscious of all the people who are or feel gutshot when writing Katherines, yes. (I think a lot of us, when we are heartbroken or stricken with grief feel pain in our guts. That pain is as real as any other pain, as the narrator takes pain to point out.)
Gutshot is a mixture of places I visited growing up. Both my mother's parents are from small towns in Tennessee, and so the architecture and industry of those towns was pretty familiar to me.
Gutshot is most directly inspired by my grandmother's tiny hometown of Skullbone, Tennessee, which—aside from lacking a textile mill—is geographically very similar to Skullbone.
Quick Skullbone story: Once I visited Skullbone with a girl I was dating at the time, and we stopped at the bridge that leads into town and we were just looking at the river. Suddenly a minivan pulls up and a guy gets out of the car. He's a big guy with a thick brown beard, and he's wearing (apparently) nothing but very dirty overalls and brand new sneakers.
Of course, I feel nervous: I'm this scrawny college kid clearly Not From Around Here, and this man has pulled to the side of the road on a bridge, and I'm worried that I'm going to have to protect my girlfriend or something, which is not exactly my specialty.
But the guy doesn't even seem to look at us. He just goes to the back of the minivan, opens it up, pulls out a very old pair of tennis shoes, walks to the edge of the bridge, stares into the water for a moment, and tosses the shoes into the river.
Only then does he look up at us, standing maybe ten feet away from him. "I moved to Nashville 20 years ago," he says. "Every year I come back here and toss last year's shoes into the river, so that they can walk the country even though I can't anymore."
Then he gets back in the minivan and drives away.
True story.
Yeah, no, the formula is crazy. It's the work of a deluded madman desperate to find some intellectual path out of a mostly non-intellectual problem.
He wrote the formula after the first draft but before the huge revisions (more than 75% of the story was deleted) that accompanied the last year or so of the writing process.
Daniel's math helped a lot with the writing. I needed Daniel to help me understand what variables Colin would care about most. Also, in the process of writing the formula, we came up with lots of jokes (some mathematical and some not) that ended up in the book.
It was really great fun. Mathematicians get a bad rap. All the ones I've met are brilliantly funny, Daniel included. (He is now, of course, not so much a mathematician as a politician.)
No it means you calculated the dumpee/dumper differential as 0, which Colin believes is literally impossible.
Yeah, Daniel and I messed around with it a lot to make it as funny and accurate as possible. (My favorite joke is that the formula fails if the dumper/dumpee ratio is 0, as if it has never occurred to Colin that people could come into a relationship on equal dumper/dumpee footing.)
No. For one thing, the formula is designed overwhelmingly to bias past relationship history as a determining factor in who ends a romantic relationship. I happen to think one's history actually is a pretty good determining factor, but certainly Daniel and I overemphasized it as a little joke to all the hardcore math nerds reading the book. Furthermore, it's totally impossible to write a mathematical formula that will reliably predict such a complicated equation as love–not because love is essentially nonmathematic or irrational (I think it is in many ways both rational and mathematic), but because the variables are too numerous. There has been some interesting research in the field, however.
That's such a good observation.
Was I conscious of this? I don't think so (although I might've been; it was written a long time ago).
But of course intent is mostly irrelevant. It's a good metaphor, and a useful one: It helps us to understand the importance of the cave to Lindsay (and to Colin!) and it also works well with the (very phallic) obelisk monument of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
In a sense, their romantic journey is a journey away from the (phallic) obelisk and toward the (sapphic) cave, and in the end only in the place associated with femininity is Colin able to become authentically himself with someone else. (That's who you really like: the people you can think out loud in front of, etc.)
I don't think that was intentional (although again, it might've been), but it's very interesting regardless. Does it reveal something about Colin, or about the author, and if so is that something misogynistic or feminist? I don't know. I will have to think more about it. But it is really fugging interesting.

Sprucing up the site a bit. I noticed some new people visiting and wanted to upload this slideshow of Lost Squad covers.
Artwork by Alan Robinson.
Here's the pitch -- It's the DIRTY DOZEN by way of the X-FILES - weird war tales created for a new audience! When a mission is too weird for the U.S. Army the brass calls in the Lost Squad. It's 1942 and the seemingly unstoppable Wehrmacht is on the march. AS the Nazis swallow more and more of Europe, Hitler's scientists perfect a mechanism that could guarantee his ultimate victory!
Reviews: 4 out of 5 stars - INDYCOMICREVIEW.COM
"The Lost Squad is three parts high adventure and one part humor" - COMICREADERS.COM
"This series has a lot of character" - SEQUENTIALTART.COM
"An interesting tale, one a bit off the beaten path." - BROKENFRONTIER.COM

God, the world and us
What was Jesus really like?
Through the centuries Jesus has been described in many different ways. They can't all be correct.
Jesus scholars have been looking at all the evidence to puzzle out the truth.
This series of talks will describe the latest research.
Sundays at St Brides, Percy St, Liverpool L8 7LT.
10.0 am, within the context of a church service. All welcome.
4th August: Jesus and the crises of 1st century Galilee
11th August: What Jesus taught
18th August: How Jesus healed
25th August: Why they crucified Jesus
Christian basics from a liberal and progressive perspective
Drawing on liberal and progressive insights from the Christian tradition and the best of modern knowledge. The aim is that participants will be helped to develop an understanding of Christianity which they find both credible and helpful, without being told what to believe.
We are planning eight sessions spread over September, October and November. Because we think there is much need for courses like this, we hope for constructive feedback which will help us develop the course for use by others.
Each session is to last about 30 minutes. It will begin at 11.15 am in the Church Hall at St Michael in the City, Upper Pitt Street, L1 5DB. We aim to include time for participants to reflect on their own questions and experiences; a short video or talk; and a sharing of thoughts. It will then be followed by a service in the church. You will be welcome at any or all of them.
8 September: How do we know? Our questions asked.
15 September: God
22 September: Jesus.
13 October: The Holy Spirit
20 October: Praying
27 October: The Bible
17 November: The Church
24 November: How then should we live?

Your Mark-Zuckerberg-Is-A-Robot Tale of the Day
When tech titans meet, sparks fly! Sparks from a blazing bonfire of social missteps. This weekend, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone told NPR the excruciating tale of the time he met Mark Zuckerberg.
According to Stone, "I had a meeting once with Zuckerberg, and every joke I said landed like a dead fish on the ground." But were they good jokes? Something tells us they were not very good jokes. (Vegans are not exactly known for their senses of humor.)
Then this bit, with Stone, Zuckerberg and Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, reads like a scene deleted from The Social Network:
Evan and I walked into the room. He walked in first, sat in a chair. There was a loveseat left. It was a small room. I walked in next, sat on one side of the loveseat. Ev walked in third and Ev said, oh, do you want me to close the door or leave it open? And Zuckerberg said, "yes."
So Ev said, oh, well I guess I'll just close it this much.
But then Zuck terns the tables when he refuses to skip the line at the cafeteria with Biz and and Ev because it's not the Facebook Way. New York says, "Suddenly, the story is one about a jerk mocking a nerd." Eh, we'd say it's one jerk mocking another jerk.

Mining industry numbers reveal that by allowing coal mining in the untapped Galilee Basin in Queensland,
Australia could create more carbon pollution than the entire United Kingdom or Canada.
The numbers, revealed in a new Greenpeace report, Cooking the Climate and Wrecking the Reef, are
the first time the full greenhouse impact of the proposed mines has been quantified.
These mines will also exact a terrible cost on farms, water supplies and coastal communities and would
also put one of the world's greatest natural treasures – Australia's Great Barrier Reef – under very serious
threat as it becomes the world's great coal superhighway.

F_ebruary 12, 2040_. My thirtieth birthday. G. gave me this little spiral-bound notebook and a Biro. It's a good present, hardly any rust on the spiral and no water damage to the paper. I'm going to start a diary. I'll keep my handwriting tiny to make the paper go further.
February 15th. G. is really getting me down. He's in his element. They should carve it on his tombstone: "I Was Right."
February 23rd. Glad we don't live in London. The Hatchwells have got cousins staying with them—they trekked up from Peckham (three days). Went round this afternoon and the cousins were saying the thing that finally drove them out was the sewage system—when the drains backed up, it overflowed everywhere. They said the smell was unbelievable. The pavements were swimming in it, and of course the hospitals are down, so there's nothing to be done about the cholera. Didn't get too close to them in case they were carrying it. They lost their two sons like that last year.
"You see," G. said to me on the way home, "capitalism cared more about its children as accessories and demonstrations of earning power than for their future."
"Oh, shut up," I said.
March 2nd. Can't sleep. I'm writing this instead of staring at the ceiling. There's a mosquito in the room, I can hear it whining close to my ear. Very humid, air like filthy soup, plus we're supposed to wear our face masks in bed, too, but I was running with sweat, so I ripped mine off just now. Got up and looked at myself in the mirror on the landing—ribs like a fence, hair in greasy rats' tails. Yesterday the rats in the kitchen were busy gnawing away at the bread bin, they didn't even look up when I came in.
March 6th. Another quarrel with G. O.K., yes, he was right, but why crow about it? That's what you get when you marry your tutor from Uni—wall-to-wall pontificating from an older man. "I saw it coming, any fool could see it coming, especially after the Big Melt," he brags. "Thresholds crossed, cascade effect, hopelessly optimistic to assume we had till 2060, blahdy blahdy blah, the plutonomy as lemming, democracy's massive own goal." No wonder we haven't got any friends.
He cheered when rationing came in. He's the one who volunteered first as car-share warden for our road; one piddling little Peugeot for the entire road. He gets a real kick out of the camaraderie round the standpipe.
—I'll swap my big tin of chickpeas for your little tin of sardines.
—No, no, my sardines are protein.
—Chickpeas are protein, too, plus they fill you up more. Anyway, I thought you still had some tuna.
—No, I swapped that with Violet Huggins for a tin of tomato soup.
Really sick of bartering, but hard to know how to earn money since the Internet went down. "Also, money's no use unless you've got shedloads of it," as I said to him in bed last night. "The top layer hanging on inside their plastic bubbles of filtered air while the rest of us shuffle about with goiters and tumors and bits of old sheet tied over our mouths. Plus, we're soaking wet the whole time. We've given up on umbrellas, we just go round permanently drenched." I stopped ranting only when I heard a snore and clocked that he was asleep.
April 8th. Boring morning washing out rags. No wood for hot water, so had to use ashes and lye again. Hands very sore, even though I put plastic bags over them. Did the face masks first, then the rags from my period. Took forever. At least I haven't got to do nappies, like Lexi or Esmé—that would send me right over the edge.
April 27th. Just back from Maia's. Seven months. She's very frightened. I don't blame her. She tried to make me promise I'd take care of the baby if anything happens to her. I havered (mostly at the thought of coming between her and that throwback Martin—she had a new black eye, I didn't ask). I suppose there's no harm in promising if it makes her feel better. After all, it wouldn't exactly be taking on a responsibility—I give a new baby three months max in these conditions. Diarrhea, basically.
May 14th. Can't sleep. Bites itching, trying not to scratch. Heavy thumps and squeaks just above, in the ceiling. Think of something nice. Soap and hot water. Fresh air. Condoms! Sick of being permanently on knife edge re pregnancy.
Start again. Wandering round a supermarket—warm, gorgeously lit—corridors of open fridges full of tiger prawns and fillet steak. Gliding off down the fast lane in a sports car, stopping to fill up with thirty litres of petrol. Online, booking tickets for "The Mousetrap," click, ordering a crate of wine, click, a vacation home, click, a pair of patent-leather boots, click, a gap year, click. I go to iTunes and download "The Marriage of Figaro," then I chat face to face in real time with G.'s parents in Sydney. No, don't think about what happened to them. Horrible. Go to sleep.
May 21st. Another row with G. He blew my second candle out, he said one was enough. It wasn't, though. I couldn't see to read anymore. He drives me mad—it's like living with a policeman. It always was, even before the Collapse. "The earth has enough for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed" was his favorite. Nobody likes being labelled greedy. I called him Killjoy and he didn't like that. "Every one of us takes about twenty-five thousand breaths a day," he told me. "Each breath removes oxygen from the atmosphere and replaces it with carbon dioxide." Well, pardon me for breathing! What was I supposed to do—turn into a tree?
June 6th. Went round to the Lumleys' for the news last night. Whole road there squashed into front room, straining to listen to radio—batteries very low (no new ones in the last government delivery). Big news, though: compulsory billeting imminent. The Shorthouses were up in arms, Kai shouting and red in the face, Lexi in tears. "You work all your life," etc., etc. What planet is he on? None of us too keen, but nothing to be done about it. When we got back, G. checked our stash of tins under the bedroom floorboards. A big rat shot out and I screamed my head off. G. held me till I stopped crying, then we had sex. Woke in the night and prayed not to be pregnant, though God knows who I was praying to.
June 12th. Visited Maia this afternoon. She was in bed, her legs have swollen up like balloons. On at me again to promise about the baby, and this time I said yes. She said Violet Huggins was going to help her when it started—Violet was a nurse once, apparently, not really the hands-on sort but better than nothing. Nobody else on the road will have a clue what to do now that we can't Google it. "All I remember from old films is that you're supposed to boil a kettle," I said. We started to laugh, we got a bit hysterical. Knuckle-dragger Martin put his head round the door and growled at us to shut up.
July 1st. First billet arrived today by Army truck. We've got a Spanish group of eight, including one old lady, her daughter, and twin toddler grandsons (all pretty feral), plus four unsmiling men of fighting age. A bit much, since we have only two bedrooms. G. and I tried to show them round but they ignored us. The grandmother bagged our bedroom straight off. We're under the kitchen table tonight. I might try to sleep on top of it because of the rats. We couldn't think of anything to say—the only Spanish we could remember was "Muchas gracias," and, as G. snapped, we're certainly not saying that.
July 2nd. Fell off the table in my sleep. Bashed my elbow. Covered in bruises.
July 3rd. G. depressed. The four Spaniards are bigger than him, and he's worried that the biggest one, Miguel, has his eye on me (with reason, I have to say).
July 4th. G. depressed. The grandmother found our tins under the floorboards and all but danced a flamenco. Miguel punched G. when he tried to reclaim a tin of sardines and since then his nose won't stop bleeding.
July 6th. Last night under the table G. came up with a plan. He thinks we should head north. Now that this lot are in the flat and a new group from Tehran promised next week, we might as well cut and run. Scotland's heaving—everyone else has already had the same idea—so he thinks we should get on one of the ferries to Stavanger, then aim for Russia.
"I don't know," I said. "Where would we stay?"
"I've got the pop-up tent packed in a rucksack behind the shed," he said. "Plus our sleeping bags and my windup radio."
"Camping in the mud," I said.
"Look on the bright side," he said. "We have a huge mortgage and we're just going to walk away from it."
"Oh, shut up," I said.
July 17th. Maia died yesterday. It was horrible. The baby got stuck two weeks ago, it died inside her. Violet Huggins was useless, she didn't have a clue. Martin started waving his Swiss Army knife around on the second day and yelling about a Cesarean—he had to be dragged off her. He's round at ours now drinking the last of our precious brandy with the Spaniards. That's it. We've got to go. Now, says G. Yes.
August 1st. Somewhere in Shropshire, or possibly Cheshire. We're staying off the beaten track. Heavy rain. This notebook's pages have gone all wavy. At least Biro doesn't run. I'm lying inside the tent now. G. is out foraging. We got away in the middle of the night. G. slung our two rucksacks across the bike. We took turns wheeling it, then on the fourth morning we woke up and looked outside the tent flap and it was gone, even though we'd covered it with leaves the night before.
"Could be worse," G. said. "We could have had our throats cut while we slept."
"Oh, shut up," I said.
August 3rd. Rivers and streams all toxic—fertilizers, typhoid, etc. So we're following G.'s D.I.Y. system. Dip billycan into stream or river. Add three drops of bleach. Boil up on camping stove with T-shirt stretched over billycan. Only moisture squeezed from the T-shirt is safe to drink; nothing else. "You're joking," I said, when G. first showed me how to do this. But no.
August 9th. Radio news in muddy sleeping bags—skeleton government obviously struggling, they keep playing the "Enigma Variations." Last night they announced the end of fuel for civilian use and the compulsory disabling of all remaining civilian cars. From now on we must all stay at home, they said, and not travel without permission. There's talk of martial law. We're going cross-country as much as possible—less chance of being arrested or mugged—trying to cover ten miles a day, but the weather slows us down. Torrential rain, often horizontal in gusting winds.
August 16th. Rare dry afternoon. Black lace clouds over yellow sky. Brown grass, frowsty gray mold, fungal frills. Dead trees come crashing down without warning—one nearly got us today, it made us jump. G. was hoping we'd find stuff growing in the fields, but all the farmland round here is surrounded by razor wire and armed guards. He says he knows how to grow vegetables from his gardening days, but so what. They take too long. We're hungry now—we can't wait till March for some old carrots to get ripe.
August 22nd. G. broke a front crown cracking a beechnut, there's a black hole and he whistles when he talks. "Damsons, blackberries, young green nettles for soup," he said at the start of all this, smacking his lips. He's not so keen now. No damsons or blackberries, of course—only chickweed and ivy.
He's just caught a lame squirrel, so I suppose I'll have to do something with it. No creatures left except squirrels, rats, and pigeons, unless you count the insects. The news says they're full of protein—you're meant to grind them into a paste—but so far we haven't been able to face that.
August 24th. We met a pig this morning. It was a bit thin for a pig, and it didn't look well. G. said, "Quick! We've got to kill it."
"Why?" I said. "How?"
"With a knife," he said. "Bacon. Sausages."
I pointed out that even if we managed to stab it to death with our old kitchen knife, which seemed unlikely, we wouldn't be able just to open it up and find bacon and sausages inside.
"Milk, then!" G. said wildly. "It's a mammal, isn't it?"
Meanwhile, the pig walked off.
August 25th. Ravenous. We've both got streaming colds. Jumping with fleas, itching like crazy. Weeping sores on hands and faces—unfortunate side effects from cloud seeding, the news says. What with all this and his toothache (back molar, swollen jaw) and the malaria, G. is in a bad way.
August 27th. Found a dead hedgehog. Tried to peel off its spines and barbecue it over the last briquette. Disgusting. Both sick as dogs. Why did I moan about the barter system? Foraging is MUCH MUCH worse.
August 29th. Dreamed of Maia and the Swiss Army knife and woke up crying. G. held me in his shaky arms and talked about Russia, how it's the new land of milk and honey since the Big Melt. "Some really good farming opportunities opening up in Siberia," he said through chattering teeth. "We're like in 'Three Sisters,' " I said. " 'If only we could get to Moscow.' Do you remember that production at the National? We walked by the river afterward, we stood and listened to Big Ben chime midnight." Hugged each other and carried on like this until sleep came.
August 31st. G. woke up crying. I held him and hushed him and asked what was the matter. "I wish I had a gun," he said.
September 15th. Can't believe this notebook was still at the bottom of the rucksack. And the Biro. Murderer wasn't interested in them. He's turned everything else inside out (including me). G. didn't have a gun. This one has a gun.
September 19th. M. speaks another language. Norwegian? Dutch? Croatian? We can't talk, so he hits me instead. He smells like an abandoned fridge, his breath stinks of rot. What he does to me is horrible. I don't want to think about it. I won't think about it. There's a tent and cooking stuff on the ground, but half the time we're up a tree with the gun. There's a big plank platform and a tarpaulin roped to the branches above. At night he pulls the rope ladder up after us. It's quite high—you can see for miles. He uses the platform for storing stuff he brings back from his mugging expeditions. I'm surrounded by tins of baked beans.
October 3rd. M. can't seem to get through the day without at least two blow jobs. I'm always sick afterward (sometimes during).
October 8th. M. beat me up yesterday. I'd tried to escape. I shan't do that again, he's too fast.
October 14th. If we run out of beans I think he might kill me for food. There were warnings about it on the news a while back. This one wouldn't think twice. I'm just meat on legs to him. He bit me all over last night, hard. I'm covered in bite marks. I was literally licking my wounds afterward when I remembered how nice the taste of blood is, how I miss it. Strength. Calves' liver for iron. How I haven't had a period for ages. When that thought popped out I missed a beat. Then my blood ran cold.
October 15th. Wasn't it juniper berries they used to use? As in gin? Even if it was, I wouldn't know what they looked like—I remember only mint and basil. I can't be pregnant. I won't be pregnant.
October 17th. Very sick after drinking rank juice off random stewed herbs. Nothing else, though, worse luck.
October 20th. Can't sleep. Dreamed of G. I was moving against him, it started to go up a little way, so I thought he wasn't really dead. Dreadful waking to find M. there instead.
October 23rd. Can't sleep. Very bruised and scratched after today. They used to throw themselves downstairs to get rid of it. The trouble is the gravel pit just wasn't deep enough, plus the bramble bushes kept breaking my fall. There was some sort of body down there, too, seething with white vermin. Maybe it was a goat or a pig or something, but I don't think it was. I keep thinking it might have been G.
October 31st. This baby will be the death of me. Would have been. Let's make that a subjunctive. "Would have been," not "will."
November 7th. It's all over. I'm still here. Too tired to
November 8th. Slept for hours. Stronger. I've got all the food and drink, and the gun. There's still some shouting from down there but it's weaker now. I think he's almost finished.
November 9th. Slept for hours. Fever gone. Baked beans for breakfast. More groans started up just now. Never mind. I can wait.
November 10th. It's over. I got stuck into his bottle of vodka—it was the demon drink that saved me. He was out mugging—left me up the tree as usual—I drank just enough to raise my courage. Nothing else had worked, so I thought I'd get him to beat me up. When he came back and saw me waving the bottle he was beside himself. I pretended to be drunker than I was and I lay down on the wooden platform with my arms round my head while he got the boot in. It worked. Not right away but that night.
Meanwhile, M. decided he fancied a drink himself, and very soon he'd polished off the rest of it—more than three-quarters of a bottle. He was singing and sobbing and carrying on, out of his tree with alcohol, and then, when he was standing pissing off the side of the platform, I crept along and gave him a gigantic shove and he really was out of his tree. Crash.
November 13th. I've wrapped your remains in my good blue shirt; sorry I couldn't let you stay on board, but there's no future now for any baby aboveground. I'm the end of the line!
This is the last page of my thirtieth-birthday present. When I've finished it I'll wrap the notebook up in six plastic bags, sealing each one with duct tape against the rain, then I'll bury it in a hole on top of the blue shirt. I don't know why, as I'm not mad enough to think anybody will ever read it. After that I'm going to buckle on this rucksack of provisions and head north with my gun. Wish me luck. Last line: Good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck. ♦

Tens of Syrian civilians were allegedly killed in a town north of Damascus by fighters belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah militant group and Syrian government forces, local activists reported on Friday.
The civilians were murdered when Hezbollah militias and Syrian troops stormed Deir Attiyeh in the town of Qalamoun near Damascus, according to Sham, the Syrian opposition activist news network.
The Syrian army recaptured Deir Attiyeh on Thursday, only six days after rebel fighters seized the town on the strategic highway between Damascus and the central city of Homs.
"Our heroic army has taken total control of the town of Deir Attiyeh in Damascus province after it crushed the terrorists' last enclaves there," Syrian state TV said, citing a military source.
On Friday last week, hundreds of jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and al-Nusra Front took control of Deir Attiyeh, according to a monitoring group and the opposition.Most of the rebel fighters who had taken up positions in Deir Attiyeh were "crushed," the security official said, adding that the town had been "cleansed."
Home to around 10,000 people, Deir Attiyeh is located in the Qalamoun region north of Damascus and along the Lebanese border.

I'm not new to juice cleanses; I did one last summer before my summer holidays (2 weeks in a bikini in St Lucia) and found having a goal in mind made the whole thing a lot easier.
This time, I didn't have a particular goal other than to give my digestive system a rest. As I suffer from IBS I'm very careful what I eat (no sugar, gluten or dairy) but still felt like I'd overindulged during the festive season.
To ease myself into a period of no chewing, I opted for the Plenish Cleanse Level 1: Harmony. The website describes it as being "designed for those who know their diet and lifestyle are in major need of an overhaul. This cleanse is a gentle detox for those who have little experience with cleansing as it's the easiest to stick to." Their words not mine!
Every day you consume the following:
1 x Sweet Sexy Green
1 x Pineapple²
1 x Mind Body Green
1 x Spicy Limonade
1 x Beet Box
1 x Cashew Milk
You might think you'll be hungry but to be honest, I found it really hard to get through all six 500ml bottles in one day. You're allowed as much herbal tea and water as you like so prepare to do a lot of visiting to the loo! The green juices are the hardest to swallow; the others taste more like regular juice/squash.
A three day cleanse costs £240 which you might think is a lot of money but when you consider that a good juicer costs at least £150 and all the organic fruit and veg is at least another £50, the time and effort saved and the fact there's no washing of the juicer, it's worthwhile. Besides, how often are you going to use that juicer really? After my cleanse last year, mine is gathering dust in a cupboard somewhere. The Plenish Cleanse system is really easy; just reach for a juice, consume and recycle the bottle.
Before the juice arrives you are sent an email with instructions on how best to ease yourself into it, details of support available during your cleanse and advice on how to break the cleanse on the last day.
The first day of any diet/new eating regime is always the hardest but once you know you can do it for one day, you know you can do it for the other two. I had a couple of mild headaches on day 1 but I'm putting that down to the toxins leaving my body.
Although weight loss wasn't my primary reason for doing the cleanse, it was a pleasant side effect! Over the three days I lost 4 pounds. I felt lighter, cleaner and my skin, hair and tongue (surprisingly) felt and looked much better too.
If you've got a big event coming up (wedding/summer holiday) or you just want to give your system an overhaul, I would recommend doing the Plenish Cleanse for the 5 days to get the maximum benefits.

Politics & Government
Time running out for McCleary family to benefit from their own case
When his parents sued the state, Carter McCleary was a 7-year-old second grader.
Today, he's driving.
His sister Kelsey was 13 and in seventh grade. Now, she's halfway through college.
One is running out of time to see much effect from the landmark case that bears his family's name. The other missed out entirely.
"I feel like I did the best I could with the education I got," said Kelsey McCleary, 20, who recently declared a kinesiology major at Western Washington University and is thinking about training as a dental hygienist. "I feel like it could be increased and be way better. We should be more prepared for college."
The Washington State Supreme Court ruled in 2012 in McCleary v. State of Washington that the state has unconstitutionally underfunded schools.
The McClearys didn't initiate the case, but when the Chimacum School District joined other districts and unions in suing the state, Stephanie McCleary said she decided she wanted to help. McCleary is the personnel director for the school district and does other clerical work there.
"She came home one day and said, 'Now, don't be upset with me, but we're suing the state,'" husband Matthew McCleary recalls.
He won top billing in the case, although a typo dropped a T and he was immortalized in Washington case law as Mathew McCleary.
Another couple with two children, Robert and Patty Venema, joined in the lawsuit. The families and a coalition known as the Network for Excellence in Washington Schools filed the lawsuit on Jan. 11, 2007.
At issue was how to fulfill the state constitution's promise: "It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children." The plaintiffs alleged that the state provision was far from ample and school districts were either falling short or being forced to lean on local taxpayers.
An uncomfortable role
The plaintiffs' lawyer, Tom Ahearne, said the district told Stephanie McCleary at first she would have a minimal public role. But it was vital to put faces on the numbers, Ahearne said. McCleary agreed to get past her fear of public speaking.
"I'm really kind of a shy person," she said. Waiting to testify the first day of the 2009 trial before King County Superior Court Judge John Erlick, she said, "My heart's just racing the whole time."
She had to wait for the second day to take the stand. It lasted a couple hours but seemed like 24. The state's lawyers peppered her with questions. "It was the hardest thing I've ever done, I think," she said.
She had a panic attack, she said. Even once it was over, coping was proving difficult. So she and the kids went to look at puppies.
The legacy of that hearing is Brewster, a Yorkshire terrier and poodle mix and one of two family dogs.
Ahearne said hearing directly from someone who was affected was important in the argument to Erlick, whose ruling became the foundation of the state Supreme Court's decision.
State funding takes a hit
Soon after the McClearys filed the lawsuit, a recession battered the state budget. The state share of school funding actually shrank between that school year and 2012-2013, according to the most recent data in a legislative report issued this year, which puts the state's portion at two-thirds of total school spending.
Lawmakers made up some ground more recently, responding to the court's 2012 decision by adding about $1 billion in last summer's two-year budget. The full tab could run to $4.5 billion or as high as $6.8 billion. Some have suggested higher amounts.
If they follow their own studies and their own promises, lawmakers will add money for textbooks, supplies and other operations costs, smaller classes, all-day kindergarten, and likely also school employees' pay.
They have tackled pieces of that list, and added money for school buses, but they will have to speed up the pace to meet a deadline of the 2017-2018 school year. Both parties point to next year as a critical moment.
The big debate in the Legislature is over whether to find the money eliminating tax exemptions or adding new taxes, or simply by moving a larger, perhaps dedicated share of existing revenue to schools.
Stephanie McCleary says it's a matter of making education the first thing the budget pays for.
Running out of time
Next year's state budget will be the last two-year budget with a chance of affecting the school experience of Carter McCleary, 15. He is the last of the two families' four kids still in the public schools and is due to graduate from Chimacum High School in 2017.
In her 2009 testimony before Erlick, Stephanie McCleary talked about the funding problems she saw when the family briefly took Kelsey out of the Chimacum district and enrolled her at Port Townsend High School. Books were falling apart, so fragile they couldn't be taken home.
A handmade, spiral-bound sheath of paper stands out in Kelsey's mind. "Science is one of the most important subjects," she said, "and I was using a textbook that my teacher made for us."
Carter, his mom told the court, was enlisted along with classmates to make crafts to be sold. He made bracelets, ornaments, calendars.
"Stephanie talked about how a lot of the class time," Ahearne said, "instead of learning things in class, they were doing fundraising."
Carter says now: "Our school does a good job, but I feel like with more funding they could do even better, with more resources and materials for the art and band programs."
An impatient court
On a recent Monday morning, the dogs sprawled out and the family cats batted at each other atop a scratching post. Carter dribbled a soccer ball in the McCleary living room. Friends sleeping over stayed upstairs while he came to talk to a reporter. Stephanie, 49, and Matt, 57, talked about who would take their son to soccer practice and his last driver's training session.
On the fridge, a picture of the sailboat they built. Out the window, a beautiful view of the Puget Sound. Signs of a comfortable life, but the couple says they could never afford to live on the water if they were buying today. They got a deal on the house years ago and now they have college costs. Wine salesman Matt says his income is down due to the state's liquor-privatization law, and it's been a while since a cost-of-living increase for Stephanie at the district office.
A left outside midfielder for WestSound FC, Carter hopes to become a professional soccer player. Failing that, sports medicine or athletic training may be in his future.
His memories of the case include skipping school — an educational field trip, his parents clarify — to see their lawyer.
Earlier this year, an impatient state Supreme Court ordered the state to submit a plan for how the money would be phased in. When lawmakers couldn't agree on a plan, the Supreme Court justices told lawyers to be in court Sept. 3 to explain why the state shouldn't be held in contempt of court. The McClearys expect to attend.
"I think it's exciting because it shows that they're serious about this," Stephanie McCleary said of the court's latest pressure. "The state continues to violate my child's constitutional right, and so I'm encouraged that they mean it and they're actually going to follow through with it — I hope."

Privacy Statement
No private information is transferred over the internet. Do not use the "Browser back button", as this may cause data loss.
Why: to determine if acute or chronic. Acute diarrhea (without blood) is more likely to be infectious in nature e.g. staphylococcal toxin food poisoning, giardiasis, traveler's diarrhea, a virus or contaminated food. Chronic diarrhea has a large number of causes.
Why: the symptom diarrhea may be defined in a number of different ways. Some people complain of frequent stool (more than 3 per day being abnormal) or they may complain of a change in the consistency of the stools which have become loose or watery.
Why: e.g. high volume stools may be suggestive of infection (such as E.Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio Cholerae), carcinoid syndrome, bowel polyp, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, magnesium antacids, lactose intolerance or after gastric surgery; small volume stools may suggest inflammatory bowel disease or colon cancer.
Why: e.g. fatty, pale colored, extremely smelly stools that float in the toilet and are difficult to flush away is called steatorrhea due to excess fat in the stool and are characteristic of malabsorption of nutrients which may be due to celiac disease, chronic pancreatitis, previous gastrectomy and cystic fibrosis.
Why: may suggest an infection (such as E.Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide secreting tumor, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, carcinoid syndrome and villous bowel polyp.
Why: may help in discovering the source of possible food poisoning.
Why: may suggest toxic staphylococcal gastroenteritis, Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter pylori.
Why: may suggest traveler's diarrhea, cholera, shigellosis, salmonellosis and giardiasis.
Why: e.g. recent antibiotics may predispose to pseudomembranous colitis; medications that can cause diarrhea include digitalis, diuretics, beta-blockers, aspirin, colchicines, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications; overuse of laxative may also cause diarrhea.
Why: it is well known that alcohol can cause diarrhea.
Why: If acute diarrhea, may suggest Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni, ulcerative colitis and amebic dysentery. If chronic diarrhea, may suggest ulcerative colitis, bowel cancer, diverticulitis, amoebiasis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Why: suggests ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
Why: may suggest Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni and ulcerative colitis, severe amoebic dysentery or pseudomembranous colitis. May get a low grade temperature with traveler's diarrhea and toxic staphylococcal gastroenteritis.
Why: may suggest toxic staphylococcal gastroenteritis (which follows 2-4 hours after eating food poisoned with the toxin), traveler's diarrhea and viral gastroenteritis.
Why: may suggests irritable bowel syndrome.
Why: may suggest inflammatory bowel disease.
Why: e.g. double vision, blurred vision, sensitivity of the eyes to light, poor coordination and difficulty with speaking - may suggest botulism caused by the neurotoxin of clostridium botulinum which flourishes in preserved anaerobic food.

Alec McCalden
Alec McCalden
Over the last couple of years Alec has been the driving force behind the Godalming Cycle Campaign and an active Right to Ride Rep.
The key event which wins him this award is the effort he has put into the Public Inquiry on the A3 at Hindhead, where he represented the CTC for nearly two years. This strategically significant campaign saw local volunteers co-ordinating a demanding campaign across a huge range of interests.
It was Alex who took the lead on that significant workload during the inquiry and the support and energy he gave to other objectors was invaluable. There was a long delay between the inquiry closing and the Inspectors' Report being published which resulted in a significant change to the costing of the scheme which gave another opportunity to pursue the case for cycling, this he did and enabled others to make their case. While the final outcome was not good for cyclists/cycling the effort that Alec put into the case for cyclists deserves to be recognised.
Apart for the Hindhead scheme he plays a leading role in making the case for cycling at Waverley's Cycling Forum and Local Transport Liaison Committee. He is a keen advocate of using a bike for everyday utility transport, and never loses an opportunity to promote bike use in order to improve communications in a community.

|Graduating Year:
|13 Years
Nathan Garcia is in his 14th season coaching the distance events for the University of California San Diego track and field programs in 2020. Garcia has also served as the head coach for the UC San Diego men's and women's cross country teams since the fall of 2007.
Garcia found immediate success as a coach on the La Jolla campus. He coached five track and field athletes to All-American honors the last six seasons.
His first years as head coach of the cross country programs proved no less successful, with both squads reaching the NCAA Division II Championships in his first season, marking just the second time UCSD accomplished that feat at the D-II level. Seniors Emily McGregor and Diane Dunn earned All-America honors after top 25 finishes at the 2007 national meet, while Garcia guided another student-athlete to All-American recognition after qualifying for the National Championships as a freshman in 2008. In 2011 under Garcia's guidance, Jesse Morrill won the CCAA Championships in the steeplechase and qualified for the NCAA Championships. Morrill owns the school record in the event (9:03.19).
Garcia earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from UCSD in 2000, graduating cum laude, and holds a Level 1 certification from USATF.
Garcia was a four-year athlete in both track and cross country while attending UCSD from 1996 to 2000. During his time as a Triton, he earned numerous athletic and academic honors, including Verizon All-Academic District VIII and CCAA Scholar-Athlete honors in 2000-01. He was also honored by UCSD on National Student-Athlete Day that same year.
