Workaday Writer: The Importance of Routine
By Michelle Barker
The Routines of Famous Writers
Stories abound of famous authors who have adopted weird and exotic writing routines. Mark Twain wrote while lying down in bed. Nabokov wrote all his work on index cards. Dan Brown believes hanging upside down is a cure for writer's block. Victor Hugo wrote naked.
Some, like Hemingway, swear by early morning writing, while others can only write at night. Some use pen and paper; others use a computer. Some can only work while listening to music or surrounded by the bustle of a café; others require silence.
Experiment to Find Your Way
The first takeaway from this is that there is no single right way to write. There is only your way, and in order to find your way, you'll probably have to experiment to see what works best for you.
The second point is that no matter how you work, you still have to show up on a regular basis. The idea behind a routine is not that lighting a candle before you work will be the magic trick that makes you a better writer. It's that if you light a candle every day before you start working, it becomes the signal to your brain and body that now is the time to sit down at your desk and get started. That's what a routine helps you do: it is a ritualized action that gets baked into your day so that you don't have to spend any time thinking about whether you feel like doing it or would rather go have coffee with friends.
In her book, The Creative Habit, Twyla Tharp talks about her two-hour early morning workout that begins with calling a taxi to get her to the gym. The important part is not the workout; it's the phone call. Once she's made that call, she knows she's going to the gym. It has become such a pattern in her life that she wastes no time debating it. There's no emotion connected to it. It's the thing she does every morning, period.
Writers need a similar ritual. Whether it's making coffee, sharpening pencils, or invoking the muse, whatever you can commit to on a daily basis, whatever will get you to your desk, is just fine.
A Writing Routine Creates Discipline
Discipline is key to a writing career. Especially when you consider that, unless you have a contract with a publisher and they're expecting new work from you, no one else cares if you write your novel. That means it's up to you to find a way to get the job done. Having a routine, whatever it is, is the easiest way to create discipline.
You can trick yourself in any way that appeals to you. Dedicate specific time every day to being at your desk. Tell yourself you'll arrive at seven a.m., rain or shine, regardless of how you slept, regardless of what you might feel like doing instead. Write it into your agenda. Set a timer to go off. Create deadlines for yourself and reward yourself if you meet them…and maybe punish yourself if you don't. There are several commitment apps online that will happily mete out various punishments if you don't achieve your writing goals—anything from playing scary noises, to enforcing monetary penalties, to erasing your entire draft (eek). Whatever works.
And know that the first few months will be the hardest. You'll try to negotiate yourself out of showing up. You'll say you're too tired, you have a headache, you'll promise to do double the time tomorrow. You'll make excuses and tell yourself you have nothing to say anyway. You'll talk yourself out of the importance of doing it every day. The mind is slippery. It doesn't like new habits, especially healthy ones, and it will do almost anything to weasel its way out of them.
Don't listen.
Don't think about it. Just do it.
Set a reasonable target for your writing routine
Apparently it takes sixty-six days (not twenty-one, as previously thought) to form a new habit. And of course, it's easier if you make it manageable. Don't tell yourself you're going to write for four hours a day if you've never even done it for twenty minutes. You'll just set yourself up for failure.
And don't beat yourself up if you miss a day. Life happens. We get sick. Cars break down. Whatever. Dust yourself off and restart the next day.
The more often you show up, the easier it gets. Repetition is your best friend here. Even if you think the work you're doing is no good (usually that's not true), keep showing up. You earn the good days by putting in the hard ones.
Eventually, you'll discover the magic of the ritual. And when your novel is published and someone asks the question, "How do you show up to the page every day?" you'll have an answer that will be entirely your own.

No Cost loan program there are no points, no origination fee or loan-related costs of any kind, guaranteed.
All closing costs including appraisal, credit report, lender fees, settlement fees, title insurance, recording fees, courier fees and any others are paid Kentucky Mortgage Lender. These costs are not "rolled into" your loan balance. You will not be surprised by hidden costs at closing.
A No Cost loan Kentucky Mortgage can result in bigger savings and better results for you, but remember that each borrower's needs and situation is unique. A No Cost loan may not be your best mortgage solution. The No Cost loan program is not available to all borrowers or on all loan programs.
No catch! There is a trade-off which you need to make sure is to your advantage. The rate on a No Closing Cost loan is slightly higher than the rate on other loans. Because the loan has a higher interest rate the lender pays us a commission. We use this commission (called the yield spread) to pay all the loan-related costs.
Since we are paying all the costs we are motivated to keep loan costs as low as possible and operate very efficiently, which in turn allows us to offer you lower rates.
How do I Know if a No Cost Kentucky Mortgage is Right for Me?
Do you know anyone who has paid off a Kentucky mortgage? Consider how frequently you or your neighbors move. The national data shows that the average age of a loan at the time of refinance is 3.2 years. If you pay loan-related costs with a normal mortgage and then refinance or payoff your loan in less than 6 years, you will be throwing money away.
To decide whether a No Cost loan is right for you, the first and most important question is what do your long term plans look like? Will you be in this home another 5 – 6 years? If rates drop will you have this mortgage for another 5 – 6 years?
The truth is that interest rates change as often as stock prices. Interest rates follow the bond market and can change just as rapidly. In the last year the mortgage market has changed more than a full point. Our customers who did No Cost loans at the beginning of the year were refinancing to lower rates by the fall.
Some of our clients have refinanced numerous times at no charge. Had they paid points or closing costs, they would have lost that money because rates dropped. Paying costs can be like flushing money down the drain. We have clients that refinanced 5 times — had they paid closing costs, they would have lost over $19,500 by now.
There are several ways to pay closing costs. Start by getting a Good Faith Estimate and then figure out which option will work best for you.
According to the Federal Reserve, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act requires that a lender give you a "good faith estimate" of your closing costs within three business days of your submitting your loan application.
Basically, the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is part of shopping around for a mortgage. Because different lenders will have different requirements, closing costs can vary widely. So before you choose a mortgage, carefully look over the GFE to find differences between lenders.
While federal regulations aiming for more transparency in home lending have made good faith estimates somewhat more accurate, you have to remember that it's still an estimate.
Saving for closing costs is a "hope for the best, plan for the worst" situation. Try to figure out the most you'd have to pay in closing costs and be prepared to pay them (while still leaving some cash in reserves). But you should also find the best lender for your needs and reduce closing costs as much as possible.
The easiest way to pay closing costs, of course, is cash. If you have enough money in savings to pay for your down payment and your closing costs and to have cash in reserves, this is often the best option.
Paying more closing costs keeps you from taking out a bigger loan and can save you money on mortgage interest, which may save you a fortune over the life of your loan.
If you don't have plenty of cash on hand, you can roll your closing costs into your mortgage. Because closing costs are generally a small amount of money compared with your overall mortgage, most lenders don't mind rolling part or all of the closing costs into the loan.
However, you do have to be careful because rolling your closing costs into your mortgage may mean you can't spend as much money on a house. For instance, if, based on your credit, your lender agrees to finance up to 90 percent of the value of a $150,000 home, they may not go over that loan-to-value ratio, even to roll in closing costs.
In this scenario, say you've agreed to put $15,000 (10 percent) down on a home worth $150,000. Your lender agrees to finance 90 percent of the home's value, leaving a $135,000 mortgage. If you don't have cash for the $5,000 in closing costs, you could ask the lender to roll that into your loan, making your mortgage $140,000.
But if the lender isn't comfortable financing 95 percent of the home's value (a very high loan-to-value ratio in the world of home lending), you may be out of luck. In this case, you might have to find a cheaper home so that you can pay a smaller down payment and have money left for closing costs.
One thing to note: many government-backed loans, like the FHA and VA loans, are set up specifically for first-time or lower-income home buyers, who often have trouble saving for a down payment and closing costs. Because of this, it's common for these loans to roll closing costs into the mortgage and to finance even above 95 percent of the home's value.
This is easier to accomplish in a sluggish housing market, or any time the seller is ready to get out of the home ASAP. In some cases, the seller will take part of the closing costs out of the money they're getting when they sell the home.
If you don't have money to pay closing costs, this is a good way to save money without increasing your loan (and, thus, your monthly mortgage payments). And what's the worst that can happen? The seller may just say no.
You'll need to make sure this doesn't come back to bite you. Figure out how much that extra interest will cost you over the life of your loan, or at least the length of time you plan to be in the home, and see if this is a reasonable approach for you.
Taking out a separate loan for a down payment is usually a no-no. Your main lender wants to be the only one to have a claim on your home if you should default.
However, you could take out an unsecured loan to cover closing costs. Just be careful here, as interest rates could really bite on a personal unsecured loan.

On the heels of his 2015 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards for Island Music Album of the Year (Ku'u 'Aina Aloha) and Slack Key Album of the Year (Ho'omaluhia), Kawika Kahiapo has released Kawaiola (Living Water), an album of inspirational and spiritual songs that are close to his heart. A combination of original songs, including "First Christmas," which was recorded by Na Leo in 2001, classics such as an instrumental version of "Amazing Grace" (Lokomaika'i), and several medleys, including "Hawai'i Aloha" with "I Left It All With Jesus", the common thread throughout the album is Kahiapo's deep spirituality.
A professional musician since the age of 17, Kahiapo is also an ordained minister who has officiated at weddings in addition to performing at them. His love and devotion to his friends and family, and to Hawai'i's people, land, and culture are evident not only in his songs, but also in how he lives: he volunteers for countless projects and he sits on the governing boards of a variety of organizations; from PBS Hawaii, to the North Shore Community Land Trust, to Jack and Kim Johnson's Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation, and more. Musically, he has contributed his talents to over 80 recording projects, and has collaborated and performed with artists from the internationally acclaimed Jack Johnson to fellow GRAMMY® Award winner Cyril Pahinui; the Sunday Mānoa's Palani Vaughan, and many more. He is a fixture at slack key festivals all over the U.S. and abroad, and the demand for both his slack key and vocal talents has expanded to include the recording of numerous jingles and theme songs for radio and television ads.
Kawaiola is a reflection of his gratitude for all he has and has accomplished; his values; and his heart.
Produced by Kahiapo, the album contains tracks newly recorded and engineered by Chris Lau at his Rhythm and Roots Recording studio, and tracks previously recorded by Pierre Grill at Rendezvous Recording Studio and released on Kahiapo's "Alana" and "One Heart, One Voice" albums. Guest artists include Jesse Rivera (backup vocals on "Aloha Kaua"), Kelly Boy De Lima (backup vocals on "Glorify Thy Name/Come Oh Lord"), Leon Siu (slack key guitar on "Amazing Grace"), and Kumu Hula Chinky Mahoe doing the opening chant and 'ōlelo (Hawaiian language) scripture reading on "Pule".

The New Fantasyland
New? Yes, NEW. There is a whole New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. This is the best expansion at Walt Disney World in years, maybe ever.
Yes, some of the best, the most endearing rides Uncle Walt created were located here. From Dumbo to Peter Pan to that ride I won't mention except to say the song never ends. Can it really get better? Well, frankly, yes it can.
Prince Eric's Castle from the Enchanted Forest

Two whole new areas are being introduced in the upgrade. (I can see a day with Fantasyland is divided into 3 complete different "lands".)
Storybook Circus
Storybook Circus is the first section of the New Fantasyland. It opened in the spring of 2012.
It replaced Mickey's Toontown Fair.
The Carolwood Park Train Station at Storybook Circus
Photo by Don Sullivan
Storybook Circus is the circus (at least in part) from the movie Dumbo. The circus has come to Carolwood Park (Carolwood Railroad is what Uncle Walt named his backyard train set.) with it's big star Dumbo. The big top is all set up and ready. Ladies and Gentlemen … Boys and Girls …
Dad's Storybook Circus page
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
It's hard to believe but the Imagineers at Disney have taken Dumbo and made it better. Lots better. The all new Dumbo is twice as good as the original.
There are now two Dumbo ride vehicles plus a whole new waiting area that includes an interactive playground that kids just love. Even with the doubling, Dumbo still has long lines, but now you can get a FASTPASS.
Dad's Dumbo page
The Barnstormer starring the Great Goofini
Dumbo is the star of the circus, but Goofy tries really hard.
The old Barnstormer ride has been spiffied up and is now the "B" attraction at the circus. Goofy takes you on a daredevil ride around the park. (Goofy still hasn't learned how to fly.)
The Barnstormer is a roller coaster for younger children. It's a great way to introduce kids to the thrill of roller coasters.
Dad's Barnstormer starring the Great Goofini page
The Giggle Gang
The Giggle Gang is the group of clowns that go with the circus. Every circus has clowns. The Giggle Gang is a great group of specially trained clowns.
Dad's Giggle Gang page
Casey Jr. and Soak Station
Casey is the train that brings the circus to town. When Casey makes an appearance things get a little wet. (Yes, wet.) Casey Jr. is located in the old Donald's Boat location and makes good use of the old drainage system to keep things tidy. (Disney likes things tidy.)
Casey shows up pulling cars with giraffe's and elephants that like to spit on those around. Oh, yeah, even little Casey gets in the act and "blows his top". It's really cool on a hot day.
Dad's Casey Jr. page
Fantasyland Railroad Station
The Fantasyland Railroad Station – railroad station has even been redone to fit right in to the motif of the circus. When you step off the train, you walk right in to the story.
You have arrived at Carolwood Park. Get ready for a really big shew.
You can hop on the train and go right to the front of the park. It's a really great way to get around. All Aboard …
Dad's Disney World Railroad page
Storybook Circus is the first part of the upgrade and it's just great. The new interactive queue at Dumbo is so good it might be hard to get the kiddos to go ride Dumbo.
The second part of the upgraded Fantasyland is called the Enchanted Forest. What an obvious idea having an Enchanted Forest. All the great Disney Movies have enchantment and most of them are set in the forest.
Dad's Enchanted Forest page
Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid
Jump in a "calmmobile" and take a ride "under the sea" and see the story of the Little Mermaid complete with the Urusala the Sea Witch, Sebastian, Eric and Ariel and some good music.
Of course good wins out in the end.
Dad's Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid page
Ariel's Grotto
Come and meet Ariel the Little Mermaid complete with fins. This is a meet and greet area where each family gets some time to meet and chat with the Little Mermaid herself.
Dad's Ariel's Grotto page
Enchanted Tales with Belle
Take a walk through Belle's house (Maurice's Cottage) and into a magical world where guests are chosen to play parts in the story of Beauty and the Beast.
Be the Beast, Mrs. Potts and play along with the story. It's loads of fun for everyone.
Belle's Magic Mirror at Maurice's Cottage
Video from Walt Disney Imagineering
Forboding is the word that comes to mine when you look at the Beast's Castle. Then you come to the entrance to Be Our Guest, it's even scarier. But when you walk in you see the most beautiful restaurant in Walt Disney World.
Be Our Guest is fashioned after the Beast's Castle in the movie. You'll be astonished how beautiful and detailed it is.
Be Our Guest is a Quick Service restaurant at lunch and a Full Service restaurant at dinner.
Be our Guest Restaurant
Gaston's Tavern
Do you remember Gaston's Tavern from the movie "Beauty and the Beast"? The place where he sang, "no one eats like Gaston"? Now you can come get a shank and a brew and sit by the fireplace and imagine being as good looking as "the man" himself.
Heigh Ho! a ride through the mine and watch as the dwarfs find a treasure.
Dad's Seven Dwarfs Mine Train page
The "Old" Attractions
The "old" Fantasyland attractions are something special. Most are based on some of the classic movies Uncle Walt released in the early days. Several of these were designed by Uncle Walt himself.
Alice and the White Rabbit at the Mad Tea Party

The Mad Tea Party
Join Alice and her friends in a grand Tea Party.
It's called the "Mad" Tea Party because you have to be truly mad to enjoy this ride.
(Special Note: Dad hates this ride.)
Hop in a giant tea cup and go spinning around. Now that's just mad. But it is a very imaginative ride. Uncle Walt took a simple midway ride and turned it in to one of the most enduring and thrilling rides ever imagined.
Dad's Mad Tea Party page
It's a Small World
Fantasyland has been home to the most annoying ride in the world. Yes, I said annoying. That song keeps running through your head. Even now, you hear it, don't you …
It's a world of laughter a world of tears …
(Yes, Dad's mean sometimes.)
Like it or hate it, you have to try it at least once.
Dad's It's a Small World page
"You can fly, you can fly, you can fly."
Yes, you can fly right over London and off to Neverland. Peter Pan's Flight is one of the busiest rides in Fantasyland. In fact it has some of the longest lines in all of the Magic Kingdom.
Dad's Peter Pan's Flight page
Take a ride through the Hundred Acre Woods in a honey pot. I'm not kidding. Ride a honey pot.
See Winnie, Kanga, Roo, Piglet, Owl, Rabbit and Gopher as you wind through the story from Christopher Robin's perspective.
The colors are incredible.
Dad's Winnie the Pooh page
Mickey's Philharmagic
What happens when Donald gets a hold of Mickey's Sorcerers hat?
Mickey takes a break from leading the orchestra and Donald takes over. What comes next is mayhem and great scenes from some wonderful Disney movies. Fly with Aladdin and Jasmine, roar with Simba, fly with Peter and Tink off to Neverland.
After some hair raising experiences Mickey comes back in and saves the day. You gotta see this.

Tangled Restroom
Rapunzel let down your long hair. With the popularity of the movie Tangled, Disney needed something to represent it's newest Princess. The Tangled Tower has been in the work for a couple of years and now that area is opening. What's going to be under the Tangled Tower? For now just restrooms. MMmmm? Not really sure what's up with that.
Dad's Bottom Line
The New Fantasyland is outstanding. The new and upgraded attractions are just pretty neat. The "old" attractions are still classic and timeless. Now if the rest of the Magic Kingdom could get a face lift like this one …
If this is your last stop on your journey with us today, Dad wants to thank you for stopping by. Please, come back soon.

This weekend I headed off to the races for the very first time to attend the Tattersall's Racing Day. Who doesn't love a good excuse to get dressed up and drink champagne in the afternoon?
I'm going to be talking you through some of the products that were essentials for the day and that I would recommend when getting ready for a race day.
This is the newest perfume to my collection and I will be posting a review on it very soon so keep an eye out for it. It is such a fresh and feminine scent that is a lot more sophisticated than a lot of perfumes I have. It is definitely one of my favourite scents to date and I am definitely obsessed with it. This paired with some deodorant will have you smelling fresh at the races all day.
This product is so important because sun safety is essential at the races since you might end up spending a lot of time outside in the sun. I kept to the air conditioned bars and lounges for most of the day but still made sure to put SPF50 on my face and neck then followed up with a normal sunscreen for the rest of my body.
If you don't have the time to be reapplying your lip colour in between races and drinks then a long lasting product like this is absolutely perfect. At the races I wore MAC 'Pink Nouveau' Lipstick but I wish I had thought to use this dual product that lasts all day. You apply the lightweight paint-like formulation then seal it with a balm and it lasts through eating and drinking. This particular shade is in '810 Peach Cocktail' which is a stunning coral pink. My lipstick held up pretty well between the food and drink (pictured below) but in hindsight it would have lasted all day if I went with this one so that is my tip for you.
My last recommendation is a matte powder to keep your face looking shine free and flawless. I love the Chanel Mat Lumiere because it keeps my face completely matte all day and has a soft, silky texture.
Of course you also might want to look into a lovely fascinator - I went with a vibrant robin egg blue because I felt like it really popped against my blonde hair. It also perfectly matched my floral dress which was primarily blue and white with pops of pink and purple.
Overall I had such a lovely time at my very first racing experience and I look forward to getting all dolled up and attending another race day.

I'm an 82-year-old Walmart cashier who can retire thanks to TikTok
The 82-year-old Navy veteran happily retired from his job as a cashier at Walmart last week thanks to TikTok.
Rory McCarty, Warren "Butch," an older employee from Cumberland, Maryland, after watching TikTok, where an older female Walmart employee said she had to work in the retail chain to earn a living. " said he was inspired to help Marion.
McCarty's mission began in December when Marion uploaded a video of her hard work and asked her 277,000 followers if they could help her retire. He then created a GoFundMe page for Marion with the goal of raising $100,000.
McCarty, a small Bushie owner himself, said he was "surprised" to see Marion still working "eight or nine hour shifts."
Warren "Butch" Marion was able to leave Walmart after TikToker raised over $100,000 for an 82-year-old veteran.
Tik Tok / bug_boys
"I just wanted something to work and the Lord did the rest," McCarty told FOX 5.
"I wanted to help this Navy veteran spend the rest of his years and visit his children in Florida," McCarty explained on his GoFundMe page. "Have him off his feet for eight hours at a time and do what he wants to do that he might not be able to do for financial reasons."
Marion told the outlet she worked about 30 hours a week at Walmart. He said he retired from General Motors a few years ago, helped care for his ex-wife's husband before he died, and then got a job at Walmart.
GoFundMe has over 5,700 donors, giving a total of $141,000. This is well above our goal of $100,000.
Marion was thus able to provide Wally World with two weeks' notice. Last week, local media, loved ones, and veterans gathered in the store's parking lot to watch McCarty award Marion enough money to never have to go to work again.
"Butch wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this miracle that you gave him. 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart,'" he said on TikTok of the ceremony. Captioned.
"I feel like a new guy," Marion told FOX 5.
Marion was able to retire last week thanks to funds raised through GoFundMe.
"I feel like a new man," Marion told a local TV station upon retirement.
He said the money would help him pay his bills, allow him to relax, and allow him to spend three weeks in Florida with his daughter and grandchildren. He said he hadn't hugged them in years.
"A bird out of a cage," added Marion.
Meanwhile, in November, TikToker raised over $170,000 for older Walmart employees.

I recently asked my Linkedin network what the main reason for lack of competence was among HSE Advisors.
We've taken their comments, boiled them down and turned them into an infographic for you.
During a recent podcast with Iain Evans of NCRQ, we discussed some of the reasons for NCRQ's formation.
Iain discovered during his time at the HSE that competence across the profession was inconsistent.
their particular academic qualifications, not because of them.
If you haven't yet caught the podcast with Iain Evans (Chief Executive of NCRQ), you can do so here.
These views intrigued me into finding out what people thought across industry.


So when my niece put me on to the shop Cut it out- I was so excited!
I love doing fun projects like this where I get to play with my paints 🙂 makes me feel like an artist even though I'm far from one.
I would have liked to paint a million layers so it was really thick paint peeling off but let's face it I'm not that patient.
For now it sits on my piano– eventually when were outta the basement It'll find a place by our mantle.
I've never been so excited for a hole in the ground »« Foundation!
Love big wood letters! Adds some whimsy to any space! Great job!!

Q: The number after "more" in the footer is incorrect The footer of this page lists 9 sites in the Science category, and then adds "more (3)". Clicking that "more (3)" link brings up a page with 19 science sites. Considering that 19-9=10, I think that the number 3 should be 10.

A: A bunch of sites in private beta were not setup correctly so were not counted in the footer for their category.

Humans of BPS – Bellingham, Carl Cozier and Columbia
02/28/2020 | Educators in Action, Humans of BPS,
Jessica Ortega-Mendez, Family and Consumer Science Teacher at Bellingham High School
Lara Stark, Third Grade Teacher at Carl Cozier Elementary School
Kirstin Copeland, Library Media Specialist and HCL Liaison at Columbia Elementary School
"I changed my major three times. I started in public health/pre-nursing. Then, my sophomore year I had a weeklong summer job where I worked with students. There's a program called CAMP at CWU, the College Assistance Migrant Program, that I was part of as a freshman. It's for migrant students and first-generation college kids from all over Washington who need extra support. The main thing is that we want them to go to college. I ended up falling in love with working with high schoolers. I was not happy with the nursing program, but I really liked health, so I changed my major to P.E. and health, but I was not a big fan of P.E., I just liked health. Then my coworker told me about Family and Consumer Science (FCS), so that's how I ended up here.
A lot of people have no idea what FCS is–They say, "what is that?" and I'll say 'Home Ec.' People don't know it's a college major. Central, WSU and SPU have it, and it's grown a lot. It's so important; we are teaching kids skills they will use for the rest of their lives, hopefully–knowing how to cook, to sew, not just throwing something away because it has a hole in it. We have a Family and Careers Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapter. It's like FBLA or DECA, but FCS-related. Some students want to teach kids how to cook, some are knitting hats for people in the community, and one student wants to decrease the use of plastic at BHS.
I didn't know much about Bellingham High at all. My first day of school I was so scared. But the kids have been really nice and sweet, and it's been really, really good so far. I didn't really think I would want to stay here forever; I thought, 'I will try it for a year or two,' and I've ended up falling in love with it at BHS; I don't think I ever want to leave.
I've had some parents tell me, 'My kid helped me with cooking and they've never done that before, they started chopping everything,' or I've had kids say 'Look what I made, I made what you taught us.' When kids tell me they cooked for their family and their family liked it, it's like oh, good!"
"I'm from southeast Alaska. I grew up there and wanted to leave really badly. I went to college at Western. I student taught at Geneva and I wanted to stay in Bellingham but I had an Alaska teacher scholarship loan, so if I went back and taught in rural Alaska for five years then all that money was forgiven. I went back to Alaska to teach and I ended up staying for nine years. I was in a good place and everything was going well.
My first job was teaching fourth grade in a little village called Kwigillingok, which is tiny. It is about 300 people. I had 14 students. All of them spoke Yup'ik as their first language. That is the native language there. English was their second language and I was their first English-speaking teacher. That was a very unique experience. It was great and challenging all at the same time. There was no running water, no flush toilets, no roads, no cars. Just lots of snow and snow machines. I drove a snow machine to school.
I was there three years and then I went to Dutch Harbor which is in the Aleutian chain and it's a little more developed with about 5,000 people. It's got a really established fishing industry. Most years I had 7 or 8 languages spoken in my classroom. It was a very interesting and fun place to teach, so that's why I ended up staying there longer. Then I came back here.
I taught at Geneva for 13 years and this is my first year at Carl Cozier. I asked to move to a Title 1 school. I was ready for a change. Geneva was great. I loved the kids, the families, the staff. It was just 13 years in one place is a long time. I felt like I wasn't growing anymore and I wanted to try something different. I really wanted to come to a school with different kinds of needs. It's been really different than Geneva, but I love it. The staff here is awesome. The kids are great. But it's just a whole different world.
Geneva is the biggest elementary school in Bellingham and Carl Cozier seems so tiny. I remember the first day we had a Friday assembly, I walked in and I was like where is everybody? And someone said – this is it, this is the whole school. And I said, wow it's so small! It's great. I love that its small.
It seems like all the other staff members know all the kids names, but I don't know them all yet.That's the legend around here anyway. That the teachers know all the kids names and that's pretty cool really. The staff here is amazing, they love kids. They work really hard and stay positive and the kids really love them. I feel like the kids here feel loved by their teachers. I'm really glad I'm here.
It's been a big change, but its good. I feel like I'm growing and I'm learning a whole new set of skills. Right now where I am being in my first year here, I feel like I'm extremely far behind, but I wanted to be pushed and feel like I'm learning something new and stretching myself. I keep thinking, next year it is going to be so easy! Maybe not easy, but familiar."
"Stories are the heart and soul of humans. It inspires kids to learn. It's the most fun part of the learning day. Everything comes back to stories and books, I think, whether science or math or social studies — it's the core and the heart.
I was at a children's literacy conference at Western and Kate DiCamillo was there, an author, and she was talking about her friend, who, when she was a kid, kept reading Charlotte's Web over and over again, and would cry every time and it was so sad. And she said, 'Why do you keep reading that book? It's so sad,' and the kid said, 'because every time I read it I know that I can get through things. Every time I read it, it's easier.' You get strength from reading stories.
Everybody finds themselves in books whether it's fiction or nonfiction. There's a place for everybody in the library.
Finding time is always the hardest part. But it's also the best part because I get to have kids every year. I'm not confined to one year of having them in my classroom. If they are here in kindergarten through fifth grade maybe I've gotten to know them for six years. I have a long time to do my best to help them do their best.
I can't really talk about myself in this position without talking about Marcie Thran. She is my right hand, actually my left hand (and my right brain and left brain). We've been together at Columbia the whole time — we're a team. And this whole school, I've been working with these folks for awhile and we've gone through lots of changes and different things going on. Right now we're working on our IB focus and it's been really great. It's been something I've been hoping for Columbia for awhile so I'm glad we're doing it."

It's not unusual to see litigation against retirement plans in the news. Sponsors of 401(k) and other defined contribution retirement plans should evaluate their fidelity bonds and fiduciary liability policies to make sure they have adequate protection.
Pension law (ERISA) generally requires that every fiduciary of an employee benefit plan and any other person who "handles funds or other property" of the plan be covered by a fidelity bond unless exempted under the law. This requirement protects a retirement plan against losses due to fraud or dishonesty (e.g., larceny, theft, embezzlement, or forgery). In contrast, fiduciary liability insurance — which is not required by ERISA — more broadly protects the plan (and typically the fiduciaries) against claims for losses resulting from the act or omission of a fiduciary.
"Funds or other property" generally refers to all funds or property that the plan uses or may use to pay benefits to participants and or beneficiaries, including investments such as land and buildings, mortgages, and stock in closely held corporations.
Service providers may have to be bonded if they have access to plan funds or other property or have decision-making authority that can give rise to a risk of loss through fraud or dishonesty.
Usually, the insurer provides the bond and the plan is named as the insured party. The parties covered by the bond are those handling funds or other property of the plan. If a plan official causes a covered loss to the plan due to fraud or dishonesty, the plan can make a claim on the bond.
Fidelity bonds must be purchased from a surety or reinsurer named on the Department of the Treasury's Listing of Approved Sureties. Each person generally must be bonded in an amount equal to at least 10% of the plan assets handled during the plan's previous year. The minimum required bond amount is $1,000, and there is a maximum requirement, generally, of $500,000. For officials of plans that hold employer securities, the maximum required bond amount is $1,000,000. Fiduciaries should review the adequacy of bonding amounts at the beginning of each plan year as plan asset totals change. Since the purpose of fidelity bonding is to protect the plan, plan assets may be used to pay for the bond.
Because plan liability may arise out of not only acts of fraud or dishonesty but also out of breaches of the many complex fiduciary duties involved in administering a plan, many plans maintain fiduciary liability insurance. These policies protect the plan and typically any fiduciaries against losses resulting from acts or omissions — particularly, for failures to observe the many complex statutes, regulations, court rulings, and other guidance that define a fiduciary's obligations to the plan.
Fiduciary liability insurance typically protects a wide range of plan fiduciaries, including administrators, trustees, committees, and the plan sponsor. Coverage of fiduciaries often includes past, present, and future trustees and all plan and trust fund employees who are fiduciaries.
Fiduciary liability insurance may also provide protection for situations when a fiduciary knew of a breach by a co-fiduciary and failed to remedy the breach. A plan may also maintain fiduciary liability insurance to protect itself from losses caused by a fiduciary's involvement in a prohibited transaction, but it may not contain a provision relieving a fiduciary of liability in that situation.
When selecting the amount of fiduciary liability insurance protection for the plan, a fiduciary must purchase the most suitable coverage at a cost of plan assets no greater than necessary. To meet ERISA's requirements, the insurance company should have a satisfactory rating from a reputable rating agency.
The plan can purchase fiduciary liability insurance for its fiduciaries or itself if the policy allows recourse by the insurer against the fiduciary where the loss was caused by a breach of a fiduciary obligation by the fiduciary. Alternatively, a fiduciary can purchase insurance (or an employer can purchase insurance for the fiduciary) to cover his or her liability from a breach of fiduciary duties. Where the employer purchases such a policy, there is no need for the policy to provide for recourse against the fiduciary.


DALLAS — Following a five-day trial before U.S. District Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn, a federal jury has convicted Bradley C. Stark, 37, on all counts of an indictment charging seven counts of wire fraud and one count of securities fraud related to his fraudulent securities offerings, announced U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas (NDTX). Each of the wire fraud counts carries a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine; the securities fraud count carries a maximum statutory sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Restitution could be ordered. Stark, who remains in federal custody, is set to be sentenced by Judge Lynn on April 21, 2012.
The government presented evidence at trial that Stark incorporated Sardaukar Holdings as an international business corporation in the British Virgin Islands, to engage in the business of investing and managing clients' financial assets. From October 2004 thorough early July 2005, Stark operated Sardaukar from his residence in Riverside, California.
Stark used materially false and fraudulent representations to solicit individuals to invest in Sardaukar. For example, according to evidence presented at trial, he represented to investors, and encouraged and allowed others to represent to investors, that: 1) he had previous institutional trading experience; 2) that he was a registered securities broker or dealer; 3) he had hundreds of millions of dollars in investments from private and institutional clients; 4) he would invest the investor's funds in sophisticated financial transactions, including tri-party repurchase agreements, commodities futures and currency trading; 5) historically, investments in Sardaukar had yielded high rates of return, often more than 20 to 30 percent per month; and 6) for $50,000 investors could purchase an insurance contract through him that would insure invested principal against any loss.
Stark also knowingly and intentionally failed to advise investors that he had been convicted in April 2003 of a federal felony offense, uttering a false and counterfeit security, and in May 2003 in the State of Colorado, of fraud by check.
In addition, the government presented evidence at trial that Stark squandered the majority of investor funds on luxury cars, travel/entertainment and jewelry. He also transferred more than $1 million to his wife.
Based on Stark's representations, several individuals in the NDTX entered into agreements to provide funds to him for investment. These individuals in turn, using many of the false representations Stark had made to them, raised money from investors in the NDTX and elsewhere, which was sent to Stark for investment. The largest investor in Sardaukar Holdings was a company in the Dallas area, Megafund Corporation, which was run by Stanley Leitner. Leitner, who testified for the government at trial, was previously convicted in the NDTX of wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering, in connection with his operation of Megafund, and is currently serving a 210-month federal prison sentence.
Securities fraud is a major focus of President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
The investigation was led by the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation and the FBI with assistance from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Santa Barbara, California, Sheriff's Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Paul Yanowitch and Christopher Stokes prosecuted.


The e-Bug project is led by Public Health England's (PHE) Primary Care Unit in England and involves a consortium of 28 international partner countries.
The main aim of the project is to educate children and young people across the globe, at junior and senior school level, about microbiology, hygiene and the spread, treatment and prevention of disease. e-Bug also aims to reinforce an awareness of the benefits of prudent antibiotic use and how inappropriate use can have an adverse effect on antibiotic resistance in the community. The areas of hand and respiratory hygiene and spread of infections in the community are also covered, including teaching how to wash hands most effectively.
The e-Bug resources comprise of a teacher and student educational pack reinforcing an awareness of essential hygiene and antibiotic issues through detailed interactive lesson plans and an interactive website hosting complementary games, interactive quizzes, disease fact sheets and much more.
Why teach school children about antibiotics?
Antimicrobial resistance remains one of the key problems within community and hospital settings within Europe. In many European countries, antibiotic prescription rates are highest in children.
Teaching children about the different types of microbes, the activity of antibiotics against them, and the increasing problems of antibiotic resistance with unnecessary use, should raise awareness of prudent antibiotic use in children who are our future generation of users.
Within schools, infections are a major cause of absenteeism with poor respiratory and hand hygiene contributing to increased spread. School hygiene campaigns can reduce rates of infection in school children, staff and their families; this in turn may reduce antibiotic use.
The e-Bug team is made up of dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable people from public health and education in each partner country. Each of these individuals are driven by the common aim of promoting key health and hygiene messages to their children and young people by implementing the e-Bug resources across their country. To find out more about the e-Bug partners click here.
The e-Bug project was established in 2006 with 60% co-funding by DG SANCO (European Commission Directorate General for Health and Consumers) and was coordinated by the Public Health England's Primary Care Unit, England.
The initial e-Bug consortium consisted of 10 associated EU partner countries (316 million) covering 61% of the EU population with the highest antibiotic use and those with large populations, thus obtaining education amongst a high percentage of high antibiotic user countries. These include: France, England, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Denmark, Portugal and Greece.
Collaborating countries (Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia) (37.5 million) cover a further 7% of the European population and have been involved in the development of the e-Bug resource. In total, this initiative will reach 68% of the European population.
This consortium was led by the Public Health England (Project lead: Dr Cliodna McNulty, Project Manager: Dr Donna Lecky) with the teachers website and the 2 initial educational games developed by City ehealth Research Centre, City University (Website Manager and Games Research Lead: Dr Patty Kostkova, Website and Games Developer: Mr David Farrell).

(disproven) Rumor: Chris Brown in high speed police chase, right now?
As I type this, a white Bentley with Illinois plates is in the midst of a police pursuit being that has been carried live by KCAL9 for two hours. They're mentioning that this is likely a high profile suspect, described as an African-American male, and that it may be someone who was associated with an awards show this weekend. They also mentioned the suspect is suicidal and was in communication with the victim of an assault.
The chase began in the 4000 block of Lankershim in North Hollywood, and is currently in Manhattan Beach.
More at KCAL9… updates below. Feel free to pipe in below in the comments.
10:33pm: @BreakingNewsOn reporting that paparazzi is also in pursuit… definitely high profile. Additional speculation that this is Chris Brown spotted on Twitter.
LAPD tells @BreakingNewsOn suspect is being sought for assault with a deadly weapon on his girlfriend; said to be armed; ID unconfirmed.
Vehicle is now eastbound on the 10 Freeway heading away from the 405.
11:16: Car stops on Lankershim in NoHo near car dealership… police waiting back. Woman walked up to car, tried opening passenger side door, the trunk opened, and woman walked away. Weird.
12:06am: KCAL9 says viewers called into station saying suspect is actually DJ Khaled from Terror Squad.
12:18am: Final update: TV news discontinuing coverage as another rumor spreads that it isn't Chris Brown after all. See original report and updates up til this one below.
1:16am: Ended tragically, with suspect shooting himself. No report on if the shot was fatal, but was taken away in an LAFD ambulance with lights blazing, not a coroners van.
Per Twitter reports, suspect not Khaled, who is still in Miami.
2:13: The LA Times is reporting that the suspect is "A businessman of Pakistani origin," and was taken away still alive in an ambulance.
does Rihanna drive a white denali?
but illinois plates? i'm rather certain neither chris brown or rihanna have any association to illinois. kanye west, perhaps? he seems like the high-speed-chase type.
They mentioned that the driver was not necessarily the owner on Channel 2.
Info this am is that the drivers name is Mustafa Mustafa. He shot himself in the head after stopping and then died at the hospital later. The unusual name combination rings a bell, dk why though.
Proof that, yet again, Markland is a racist.
When you make this David Markland is a racist statements what are you saying Lucinda, this is number two now. Is this real? And if it is, what are your reasons for making this statement.
No, it's not real…it's an old joke. Markland's no more a racist than I am Native American.
Well Lucinda you're pretty funny.

Lakers News: Former All-NBA Guard Bullish on Russell Westbrook 'revenge tour'
To put it plainly, Russell Westbrook didn't dazzle in his first season with the Lakers. Granted, adjusting to playing alongside LeBron James is a challenge for any player, especially a player who's made his career as a dominant on-ball All-Star. For Russ, it wasn't just his on-court struggles in LA. Throwing Frank Vogel under the bus in his exit interview, battling the media, and sounding off on fans jeering him with "Westbrick" only added to a frustrating debut season with the Lakers.
Despite the Westbrook-Lakers situation that was recently deemed "untenable" by veteran NBA reporter David Aldridge, Victor Oladipo believes that both he and his former Thunder teammate are set for big bounce back seasons.
"Right now, we on the same wavelength. When I say that, you said it best. You have to sit down and talk to him to understand where he's at, but he's there."
Back in July, Oladipo and Russ used the caption "The Revenge Tour Continues" for a picture of the two walking into a gym for a workout.
Oladipo has played just 60 games over the last three seasons due to injury, but was a valuable rotation player in the Heat's playoff run to the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs. He inked a two-year deal with a player option this summer.
Westbrook's revenge on the other hand isn't about proving he can stay healthy. In fact, Russ lead the Lakers team in games played (78) and had LA not been eliminated from the playoff picture, would've played in the team's final three games to finish with 81 games to his name.
Now, whether or not Westbrook's "revenge tour" is with the Lakers, Pacers, Nets, or elsewhere, is anyone's guess, but you can bet that Russ wants to prove that he can still perform at a high level for a team in his age 34 season.
