Well, Eddie's moved and I thought you all should know. His new address is:
Ah, I remember that post and even if many European women have hair that is far more fine than the Taiwanese women it's good to have a selection. I found an excellent hairdresser in Taipei myself, he understood the much much finer Scandinavian hair really well - but haven't found anyone who can dye my hair yet. The chemicals in Asia are way too strong for normal scandinavian hair. Do you happen to know what hair colour your Eddie is using? I am moving to Taiwan August 31 so I am starting to get a bit desperate, I really don't want to have to do my hair myself, but I need colour in it, the sun bleeches it too much...
No, but you can call him and ask (he speaks great English). I get my hair dyed there (at 33 I'm going gray!) and although my hair had always been touchy, frizzy and damaged, his dyes don't bother it.
Thanks Jena, I'll stop by and check as soon as I am in Taiwan, always better to see it for myself. Also tried to search for "my" brand but the websites for Taiwan are in Chinese so that doesn't help me. Yet... :-)

Dutch ride on Doeschate's maiden WC ton
England registered a thrilling six-wicket victory over the Netherlands in a Group B match and averted what could have been been the first upset of the World Cup on Tuesday.
Chasing 293 for victory, England completed the win with eight balls to spare.
Earlier, Ryan ten Doeschate's maiden World Cup century powered the Netherlands to an astonishing 292 for six wickets.
The 30-year-old South Africa-born right-hander hit three sixes and nine fours in his 110-ball 119 that was the cornerstone of the Netherlands's innings at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium.
Ten Doeschate added 78 runs with Tom Cooper (47), 64 with Tom de Grooth (28) and 61 with skipper Peter Borren (35 not out) to set a target that should be quite a test for England's tweaked batting order.

England stop early Dutch attack
After Borren had opted to set a target rather than chasing one, openers Alexei Kervezee (16) and Wesley Barresi (29) looked quite at ease against the English pacers before change bowlers collaborated with stumper Matt Prior to remove both.
Barresi, having hit three fours off Stuart Broad's third over, top edged a Tim Bresnan delivery and Kervezee fell to Prior's sharp stumping in Graeme Swann's first over.

Doeschate-Cooper consolidate innings
Ten Doeschate ensured there was no panic in the Dutch camp.
He offered dogged resistance in the company of former Australia under-19 player Cooper, consolidated the innings with his smart association with de Grooth before providing the late charge with Borren.
Borren was fortunate to be called back despite being bowled by Broad as England had just three players inside the circle in that powerplay over.

England collapse after good start
England's chase got off to a resounding start with Andrew Strauss (88) and Kevin Pietersen (39) providing a rollicking 105-run stand before they lost four wickets to find themselves in a spot of bother.
Andrew Strauss (88, 83 balls, 9x4) played an out of character innings while Kevin Pietersen (39, 61 balls, 5x4) looked scratchy in between some good shots. It was Strauss who made full use of the fielding restrictions as England scored 100 runs in 17 overs.
The England captain scored his 27th ODI half century off 34 balls with the help of nine boundaries.
Pietersen was the first to depart when he was caught by Holland skipper Peter Borren at short cover off the bowling of left-arm spinner Pieter Seelaar.

Ten Doeschate strikes for Dutch
Strauss and Jonathan Trott (62, 65 balls, 4x4) then consolidated the innings adding 61 runs for the second wicket.
Strauss then mistimed a pull shot off Mudassar Bukhari's bowling to gift a catch to Tom Cooper stationed at square leg.
Trott and Ian Bell (33) didn't take too many risks in the middle overs and added 58 runs in 10.5 overs.
Ten Doeschate once again came to the rescue of his team as he struck at the start of the batting Powerplays with Wesley Barresi effecting a brilliant stumping to send back Trott.
If that wasn't enough, he cleaned up Bell in the 43rd over to get his second victim. But Bopara (30) and Collingwood (30) then helped England script the third successful runchase in World Cup history.

'We got the result we wanted'
Paul Collingwood's experience and Ravi Bopara's improvisation came in handy as England survived some torrid times before completing the tricky chase in the penultimate over.
"We got the result we wanted ... we just need to be a bit more consistent at putting in good performances over the 100 overs altogether. Sometimes we're letting each other down. We've just got to pull our socks up and get on with it," said England's Jonathan Trott.

A Good Trade?
Horace Pippin
As noted earlier,
the Indianapolis Museum of Art
is quite open about their deaccession process.
Kind of.
At least, they tell you what they've gotten rid of.
(whereas the press office of the Art Institute of Chicago just told me that
"We have not provided anyone with a list before.")
But, also as noted before,
the "Reason" given for each deaccession
is hardly explanatory.
(often "secondary example" is given as the reason,
when indeed, there may be no "primary examples" of work by the same artist,
or even in the same genre, in their collection.
So --- it's with some skepticism
that we should contemplate the connection
they've presented between the five deaccesioned paintings
shown below, and the Horace Pippin shown above,
which they tell us was purchased with subsequent income.
Ralph Brownell McGrew
To begin with,
they have posted pictures of all five
deaccessioned pieces in an
obviously distorted view.
Just to make sure they look really, really bad ?
(Most of the other deaccessioned works on their site
are not presented this way.)
And second...
We might note that four of the five could be called
'Western Art" (as in cowboys and Indians)
and all of them were donated in 1976 by Harrison Eiteljorg,
who ten years later would open his own museum
of "American Indians and Western Art" in Indianapolis.
So.. it looks like Eiteljorg made a good decision
to stop giving his Western stuff to the I.M.A.
and open his own, instead.
(BTW - he also donated a lot of African tribal art
to the I.M.A., which so far, they've decided to keep)
These don't look like
great paintings to me.
(but who can tell anything
from these distorted views)
Charles Dye
Perhaps I would rather see the single Pippin,
but maybe that's just because
I prefer that black man's sense of personal desparation
to the vapid, commercial mythology of my white brothers.
But they've also tried to dump their Walter Ufer,
which was also donated by Eiteljorg,
and which I might well prefer to the dark, depressing Pippin.
Burt Proctor
Randall Davey
If it were my call,
I may have have made the same switch.
But I'm still waiting for a special exhibit
that would inspire me to drive down I-65,
and if they are trying to dump their Ufer and Paxton,
I've not very enthusiastic about seeing
what they have done
with their permanent collection again.

Hollywood Dirt – Cory Monteith Drinking Days Before Death + Anti-Rape Group Ticked Off at Justin Timberlake & More
CORY MONTEITH DRINKING BEFORE DEATH: This may be the first big clue in the death of CORY MONTEITH -- according to TMZ, he was drinking about a week before his death.
Cory, who'd been open about his substance abuse issues, was reportedly knocking back a few beers at a coffee house and clothing store for motorcycle aficionados. The owner tells TMZ that Monteith spent a few hours there and had a few beers, but was not wasted or out of control. The visit came on July 6th, the same day Cory checked into Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel where he was found dead over the weekend.
R.I.P. - CORY MONTEITH: Authorities hope to know more today about what caused the death of actor CORY MONTEITH, who was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room by hotel staff at around noon Saturday after he missed check-out time. The obvious suspect here is a drug overdose, as Cory had a history of substance abuse and had recently spent a month in rehab after checking himself in this past March.
Cory was in Vancouver reportedly to visit his mother, and had been hanging out with friends in his room Friday night before they all went out together. He returned alone early Saturday morning, and Canadian authorities believe he died alone in his room. An autopsy is scheduled for later today.
LEA MICHELE 'DEVASTED': Cory's "Glee" co-star and real-life girlfriend LEA MICHELE is understandably overwhelmed with shock and grief. Her rep issued a statement asking everyone to "kindly respect Lea's privacy during this devastating time." A source adds that Lea is, quote, "absolutely hysterical and completely inconsolable [and] devastated beyond belief."
GLEE (official Twitter):
The same day in Southern California, JIMMY KIMMEL and his girlfriend Molly McNearney also made The Big Mistake -- Kimmel for the second time. Unlike the Berry-Martinez union, Jimmy and Molly wed in front of family and a ton of celebrity friends, including MATT DAMON, JENNIFER ANISTON, AND ELLEN DEGENERES. (PHOTO) (PHOTO) (PHOTO) (PHOTO)
WATCH MARIAH CAREY LEAVING HOSPITAL: MARIAH CAREY posted this video of herself being wheeled out of the hospital in a gown and full makeup after being checked out and treated for the dislocated shoulder she suffered after a fall while filming the "#Beautiful" remix video. Anyone else think she's high as kite on painkillers?
Mimi, by the way, performed at a Hurricane Sandy benefit yesterday as expected. Like a true diva, she wore three different outfits and three different matching slings for her dislocated shoulder ...
SOFIA VERGARA SHOWS US HER PICS: SOFIA VERGARA posted a photo of what it takes to get prettied up when you're an A-list TV star. "Getting pretty," the actress wrote of her scary-looking spa treatment ...
AHHH!!! Erase, erase, erase! Go to my a happy place, go to my happy place! *Sigh* Much better.
NEW COUPLE ALERT - JENNY MCCARTY IS DATING A KID ... A NEW KID, THAT IS: How's this for a random celebrity hook-up ... JENNY MCCARTHY is currently dating New Kids on the Block member and "Blue Bloods" co-star DONNIE WAHLBERG. "Yes, they recently started dating and are having a lot of fun," a source tells Us Weekly.
The romance apparently started back in March, when Donnie appeared on Jenny's VH1 series, "The Jenny McCarthy Show". They sucked on red lollipops together while discussing dirty talk in the bedroom.
On a related Jenny McCarthy note ... It's official, Jenny will be co-hosting The View this fall. ABC and Barbara Walters just made the announcement. There's still no word on who else will be joining. The show had two chairs to fill with the departures of Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
WATCH CARLY REA JEPSEN THROW OUT TERRIBLE FIRST PITCH: CARLY RAE JEPSEN threw out the first pitch at a Tampa Bay Rays game yesterday, and it was, as the kids like to say, an epic fail. She basically spiked it into the ground, and it rolled toward the first-base dugout.
SEXUAL ASSAULT FOUNDTION vs. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - WHO YOU GOT?: A foundation called Take Back the Night, which raises awareness of domestic abuse and sexual assault, is not happy with JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE; more specifically, the title of JT's new song. The song, you see, is titled "Take Back the Night" and the foundation has a problem with that. "Everyone at Take Back the Night is really shocked, because normally, we get asked when people want to use the name," a rep for the group says. They also don't like the super-sexy nature of the song."The lyrics are definitely very sexual," adds the rep. "And not at all clearly anti-sexual violence."

We're doing nature study in our yard this week so that we don't spread our cold to our friends, but I'm dreaming about last week's outing, which was sunny and full of color. We tried a new park in the foothills outside of town. There was an oak-lined trail and a creek, but the real draw was a meadow full of wildflowers...
|lupines everywhere!
We took home a little nosegay...
|from left to right: blow-wives, some kind of yellow clover, q-tips, owl's clover, dove lupine, yellow tarweed, yarrow
|both kinds of goosegrass?
I'd like to introduce you to a couple "friends" this week:
Clarkia was a new find for us! Bright magenta with four delicately toothed petals and narrow leaves.
And owl's clover, one of my very favorites. (It's that flower below on the left, and you can also see it on a previous post.) It is lovely and complicated--bits of yellow and polka dots and such. I took a closer look at it this week with our new loupe....and realized it is even more complicated up close!
|look at those feathery petals!
But although my favorite part was the wildflowers (it always is!), the kids' favorite might have been the insects we encountered. Lines of ants everywhere carrying dozens of these curly bits below back to their holes along the trail.
|anyone know what they are? the leftovers of some kind of seed pod?
And we saw this gorgeous tiger moth on the way out. He stayed perfectly still for us for a long while.
Then there were these two, who spend a large part of the day running circles around the house but as soon as we get into big open spaces, walk around holding hands and then plop down to "nature journal."
And the most lovely thing about this outing? All the moms. It's a pleasure to study nature alongside other moms who get it--who are as engaged and enthusiastic as the kids are, who keep nature journals, who aren't afraid to get (a little) dirty. More about that another time--I have some chatting I want to do here on the blog about Mother Culture and nature study is a big part of that.
Wishing you a bright and colorful weekend!

After several radio shows concerning the archon network many have asked how do I break free.
First we have to understand who the archons are and their program to break free. The archons are an ancient collective of discarnate spirits, demons, regenerate ETs, some greys, reptilians and serpent beings who feed off negativity and care nothing for humanity and the Earth. Their program is to keep you enslaved through your very own mind and to create as much separation, pain, and suffering as possible.
This is done with programming, various kinds of media, societal programming, psychotronic technology using ELF, microwave, radionic and other frequencies, not to mention mind to mind manipulation with the archons. The television and the news is one of the most obvious designed to keep you fearful, insecure, and in need of a savior outside of self. It is also designed to keep you focused on the material world, acquiring acceptance and approval outside of self, being well adjusted to society for your very survival.
Krishnamurti best summed up this process with the quote, "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. "
That being said let's look at today's society. We must also look at the social, economic, and environment conditions. Look at the wars, the diseases, the unbridled greed and corruption in government, the disempowerment of most religions and complete failure to bring man/woman closer to the God/Creator/Spirit within as well as unify humanity.
Do we have universal peace? Do we have Brother/Sisterly Love throughout humanity? Do we have individual freedom and prosperity for all? Do we have a clean pristine environment? What is the condition of our air, water, the land? Let's not dismiss these questions too readily without using brutal honesty.
Who is in control of this planet? The next question (and again using brutal honesty) is, "Are you contributing to the mess?" Are you part of the problem or part of the solution? Are you trapped in the archon matrix making choices and acting according to soul and spirit or the programmed and manipulated ego? Who do you serve, God of the beast?
The archon network's first and foremost goal is to separate man/woman from the God within. It is to keep you focused on the external and control you through the base attitudes and emotions of the first three chakras – Survival, Sex and Power. It cannot let you operate from the Heart because once you move up into the heart and beyond it loses its power over you.
The heart is love felt, deep profound love for all humanity and the Earth. The throat is love expressed – not a lot of that going around. The third eye is God seen in all things and the top of the head is I AM God, at-one-ment. Now we have to ask again with brutal honesty are the heart and the other higher chakras being expressed in today's society, our own daily lives? Are these higher forms of expression coming from our leadership? When we engage others are we in me/I mode – how can this best serve me – or we in service to others mode?
When one becomes self absorbed, selfish, acting out of fear and insecurity one is acting out of the ego fully programmed by the archon network. There are different degrees of this yet all it takes is an opening, a childhood trauma, an unresolved past life choice or action, or even choices and actions in this life creating negative impacts on others or nature to open the door to the archons.
None of us are perfect. We all have openings of one degree or another which we have to keep a constant vigilance on our choices and actions as well as the inspiration behind them. Become the observer and with the present energies on the planet we have to become the brutal observer in all that we choose and act upon. Then you become an incorruptible. This does not mean you will not be challenged.
"The closer you get to nirvana the more the demons rear their ugly heads."
The closer to enlightenment more you will be tempted, challenged, completely screwed with to take you off the path. The archons are famous for using.... (Read more HERE)

We are back!7 comments Posted by Rebecca at 6:29 PM
We got back Saturday and were so drained we spent the weekend resting and sleeping. I still have things to unpack etc.... but we had a very safe, fun and relaxing time! God is so good, we couldn't help but to worship Him while visiting his beautiful creation and thanking him for allowing us to share in his beauty! I did notice something sad while there.....so many people worship the creation instead of our creator.
Anyway, we took over 1000 pictures and no, I am not kidding! I have to sort, and finish sizing before I can share most of them with you. In the mean time please be patient with me, I am tired and I have a lot on my plate right now. Also, I wanna mention that Michael took 2 steps the day of our leaving for the trip and he took 3 steps all by himself again on Sunday. He also, broke his 2 top teeth in.....thank the Lord because he had not been feeling well.
He is also starting to sleep well through the night. I tried something different that I never did with the girls and mainly I had to get creative because Jason could not help with him like he did with Alyssa because of his schedule. He was only waking to nurse out of habit instead of hunger so I let him cry, and of course all babies do when you change a routine they aren't used to. What I chose to do was to lift him up without taking him out of his crib, then I kiss him tell him I love him and lay him back down. The first couple nights it took around 20 to 30 times doing it over and over again, he is a strong willed child! So the next night came and I did it again and it got much shorter to the point were we are at now which is I nurse him before bed at around 8pm then he wakes at 11pm for one last nursing and then nurses at 6am. It took a couple of nights to wean to the 6 oclock hour, I would go in while he would be standing in the crib crying, I would pick him up kiss him and lay him back down, he'd get up again, and I would lift him up again and kiss him and lay him down again until 4:30am arrived and I nursed him then the next night when it was 5am then the next night 5:30 am until now at 6am. While doing the kiss and lay down method (I just labeled myself lol) I didn't walk out of the room, I stayed until he laid down and no longer got up and then I left the room.
I am really proud of myself, it was very tiring but I knew my consistency would eventually pay off and it only too a few nights. kissing him and laying him down has worked beautifully, and I figured out a solution to my sleep deprivation! Yay me!
Michael packing1 comments Posted by Rebecca at 9:16 PM
Here is the picture I told you about in the previous post about Michael trying to help with packing. Also, his big sister Alyssa got tired of him getting in the way while they were cleaning so she trapped him in the laundry basket. He didn't make a peep until he saw me while I was sweeping the kitchen floor and looked down the hall way only to find what I thought was funny! I did have a talk with Alyssa about not trapping her brother inside of things and thanked her for picking one with holes for him to breath ;) She found a solution to her problem......Smart little girl lol
Leaving Tonight and Almost Ready!0 comments Posted by Rebecca at 9:50 AM
Now this is much better than Hurricane Amber and Alyssa lol . I took the opportunity to show them how to pack better and more organized especially since the are so eager. It was a really good teaching moment. Last night we were testing out the rack Jason borrowed and hooked up to the back of the van to store some of the luggage. He came inside and while I was working on some laundry he said "Hey, you wanna get hitched again?" I turned around with a confused smile on my face and he was holding the "hitch" thingy in his hand LOL.......then later he was watching me pack/reorganize a couple of things and he said "Okay, you are not taking that Dan", then a couple seconds later he tried to take something else away and I said "No", and his response was "Oaky, Dan".........hmm LOL (Dan is Jason's father's name) I guess I am resembling his dad so I looked at Jason and said "Thanks! I take that as a compliment" and he laughed ;p
You all Really didn't think I was going to go camping and have no way of drinking coffee did you??! LOL I bought instant coffee! I even bought a little Tea Kettle to boil the water on the camp stove that we are borrowing!
Ah.....the tote of yummy goodness of food lol
Our supplies which we ended up taking out of the tote and putting in an old tent duffel bag since we bought a new tent.
This is better than what the living room was....that's for sure! The Red Baby carrier comes from our next door neighbor so we can go hiking when we get there! How sweet! I was looking for one but they are expensive.......so the Lord blessed us with borrowing one!
Now......See the RED COOLER to the Right?? Well.....I got a picture of Michael taking Movies out of the the movie case and putting them in the Red Cooler. He was helping us pack LOL the cooler was opened from when I put drinks in it......I can't upload the picture just yet because apparently my camera cord can be used in for ipods as well..........Jason STOLE my camera cord! I knew about it this morning once I saw it was gone, however, I looked EVERYWHERE yesterday for my camera cord in confusion because I knew for a fact I had put it in the camera bag. I was looking ALL DAY lol I asked the kids if they had seen it and they had no idea so finally I asked Jason once he woke from his nap if he had seen it and sure enough the boy took my cord ;p
Getting ready!5 comments Posted by Rebecca at 12:28 PM
We have our food and supplies for our camping trip. The girls turned the living room upside down trying to help organize and put everything together......woha! We also tested our new tent out back. Yeah, the nieghbors thought it was funny, and Jason's boss came by and teased him saying "Too cheap to take them to the lake hu?" lol .....We can't wait to leave Sunday and we still have a lot of work to do. Jason has told me stories about his dad getting the family ready when he was a kid and everything he would take.......I think I am reminding him of his dad LOL
Have a look at this.......lol5 comments Posted by Rebecca at 1:05 PM
So Michael is on a track of either distruction or a love of reading lol......what's funny is we were so tired from our day we just sat there and watched him do it. The girls were sweet to put everything back on the sleves.
We received a Blessing!5 comments Posted by Rebecca at 2:23 PM
I was shocked yesterday and blessed! I got a knock at the door yesterday and when I opened it, Cameron's hubby and a mutual friend Greg was standing outside our door. I said "Hey!" and asked Greg how the baby is doing and then Aaron said "My wifes says you need a new table and chairs"........I about fell over with happiness because they brought us a table and chairs! They brought them in and Amber and I carried out the old stuff to the trash. Jason woke up from his nap and was so happy he called him mom right away to tell her the good news!
I made Hot Browns for dinner last night and we thanked God and for the blessing we had just received and to bless our friends who filled our need. We were like kids at Christmas sitting at dinner. We love our friends and are so blessed to have them in our lives. We thank God for you all!
Here are the pix.....please excuse the mess ;p
My chair broke :(2 comments Posted by Rebecca at 9:27 AM
For sometime now we have been needing a new dining set. The one we bought 3 yrs ago when we moved here is was cheap to begin with but we thought it would be good enough to get us trough seminary........wrong! We have gotten along since Michael came along, we bought him a space saver high chair and we just love it! I wish they had these when my other two were babies, it really does create more space! The chairs have been slowly falling apart, I have to tighten the screws often or they get very rickety. Well, last night at dinner I was sitting in the worst chair and I shifted my self just a little and crashed through to the floor! It really hurt and I couldn't get up for a couple of min. Jason had just left on a call, and the the girls were scared at first, then they found humor because I couldn't seem to get up so I just stayed on the floor. It really hurt, after that I was in pain several areas and I need to see my Chiropractor. Jason cracked me a little and as much as he could but I can feel were I am out. I would not recognize my body being out of alignment if we had not been going to a Chiropractor or a few yrs now so I have gotten to know my body pretty well.
I wish I had pix to show because it was crazy, we had to throw the chair out, it was bent bad and the screws cam flinging out......luckily no one got hit with those! I just know our table is going to crash to the floor someday as well. It's used most of it's life as well. so now we are down one chair. We use the computer chair for the 5th chair we need since our computer is in the kitchen, but now it should be interesting how we are going to be able to have dinner at the table together ;)
So now I am thinking....what do I do? I am checking craigs list but the only money I truly have is vacation money and we have waited almost 8 yrs now to have our first family vacation. I talk to Jason about working more over time while it's available but the poor guy is tired. A week or two ago he worked 19 days straight so we can afford go on vacation. He needs this getaway more than all of us, he works so hard, in fact he hasn't stopped working hard since we moved her. Not many people could handle the load he has had to carry. Up until last semester he was working basically three jobs....teacher ( I helped him with grading and entering grades into the system so he would not feel so overwhelmed), full time student, and security. He is one of the hardest working men I know and never complains about it. He will make comments at times that he doesn't feel like going in to work because he's tired, but he does it anyway and I work hard to make sure his time at home with us is peaceful and relaxing. I know we'll get by one way or another, but it would be nice to not have one of the kids sitting on the floor lol.
Yall really should have seen that chair! I was in too much pain to take a picture .... :)
Granbury is cute6 comments Posted by Rebecca at 8:01 AM
We went into Granbury a week or so ago. It's a really cute but small town to stroll along with your family and walk in different shops. There is a tall tower clock in the center of the square.......actually, Shannon......it looks EXACTLY like the little square we went to to see the Christmas parade when we visited you!! I don't have any pix judt one of the girls in a specialty shop goofing off and one of Michael at Babes bbq ...I think it was called. Other than that I took a couple of pix out the window while driving of these tree braches living in the lake water.........I was intrigued, never seen leafless trees living in water in the middle of a big ole lake! We had a really good time and it was so nice to walk into all the stores just to look around. The change of scenery was really nice too.
Now........anyone curious as to why I have no more pix? I'll tell you anyway, my hubby-boo wouldn't let me...grant it, I was a bit shy to take pix with people all around too, however-I hardly think I looked like a TOURIST......right LOL?? Jason said I looked like a tourist lol and he is more introverted than I am so I gave into him by not take any more pix. He's the one who couldn't wait to take us because it looked just like the square in Hamilton, TX.......But I did get pix of the girls and Michael.......darn, I spent a while doing my hair too so he could take a few pix of me and the girls :0

[Federal Register: June 19, 2003 (Volume 68, Number 118)] [Notices] [Page 36862-36866] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr19jn03-128] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF STATE [Public Notice 4383] Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Request for Grant Proposals: FY 2004 Freedom Support Educational Partnerships Program With Eurasia Summary: The Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for the Freedom Support Educational Partnerships Program with Eurasia. Accredited, post-secondary educational institutions meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to pursue institutional or departmental objectives in partnership with foreign counterpart institutions with support from the Freedom Support Educational Partnerships Program with Eurasia. These objectives should directly support the overall goals of the Program: to support democratic systems and market economies in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, and to strengthen mutual understanding and cooperation between these countries and the United States. The means of achieving these objectives may include faculty exchange, curriculum development, and outreach to professionals and other members of the communities served by the participating institutions. Program Overview The Freedom Support Educational Partnerships Program with Eurasia provides grants to U.S. colleges or universities of up to $250,000 to support institutional linkages in higher education with partners in eligible countries. Other RFGPs for educational partnerships may also be published this fiscal year, with information available from: http://exchanges.state.gov/education/rfgps/ . Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their project ideas during the proposal development process with the relevant program officer (please see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section for contact details) who may be able to provide additional insight into priorities by country as well as background information on what types of projects are most competitive for funding. Project Objectives The purpose of the program is to support the development or revision of courses, curricula, outreach programs and programs of study at participating institutions in ways that strengthen democracy and free markets in Eurasia as well as mutual understanding between the people of the United States and those of Eurasia. Applicants are invited to propose institutional objectives that support this purpose. Proposals should explain in detail how project activities will enable participants to achieve specific changes at the cooperating departments or institutions, whose objectives should be consistent with the Program's goal of supporting democratic systems based on market economies. While the benefits of the project to each of the participating institutions may differ significantly in nature and scope based on their respective needs and resource bases, proposals should outline well-reasoned strategies that are designed to meet specific objectives at each participatingU.S. and foreign department or institution as a whole. In most cases a proposal to pursue a limited number of related thematic objectives at each institution will be stronger and more coherent than a proposal addressing a large number of unrelated objectives. For example, proposals may outline the parameters and possible content of new courses; new teaching specializations or methodologies; new or revised curricula; and new programs for outreach to educators, professional groups, or the general public. Proposals should explain in substantial detail strategies to promote curriculum, faculty, and staff development, as well as administrative reform, at the foreign partner institution(s). Projects may result in the development of a new academic program or the restructuring of an existing program, and should equip institutions of higher education to contribute to democracy and/or open markets in the foreign partner country. Plans to extend the benefits of the project to larger audiences through outreach to foreign government, NGO, and business representatives are especially encouraged. Projects focusing on curricular reform at the foreign partner institution should describe the existing curriculum, the courses targeted for revision, and how the current content will be restructured to incorporate the new academic themes. The proposal should additionally describe the topics and content of any new courses or educational materials that will be developed and introduced. If the project proposes to develop a new degree or certificate program, the proposal should detail the steps being taken to apply for approval for the new program from the foreign partner's Ministry of Education (or other appropriate agency). The [[Page 36863]] proposal should also describe the target student audience that will be served by the creation of this program and the potential market for the program. In addition to demonstrating how each participating institution can assist its partner(s) to meet institutional goals, proposals should also explain how this cooperation will enable each institution to address its own needs. Accordingly, applicants are encouraged to describe the needs and deficiencies as well as the capabilities and strengths of each participating department and institution, and how each institution will contribute to and benefit from the achievement of project objectives. Proposals that realistically assess institutional capacities will be better able to outline compelling objectives that address institutional needs and justify a request for support. To be competitive, proposals should demonstrate that the participating institutions understand one another and are committed to mutual support and cooperation in project implementation. Projects may include soundly planned distance learning activities. These activities should be directly linked to stated project goals and outcomes. Proposals with distance learning components should describe pertinent course delivery methods, audiences, and technical requirements in detail. Proposals should discuss not only the infrastructure at the partner institution, but also the level of access among the target population. Proposals that discuss distance-learning elements without addressing the technological access and capacity of the foreign partner institution will be considered less competitive. If the proposed partnership would occur within the context of a previous or ongoing project, the proposal should outline distinct project objectives and outcomes for the new project and explain how the request for Bureau funding would build upon the pre-existing relationship. Previous projects should be described, with details about the amounts and sources of support and the results of previous cooperative efforts. Institutions receiving partnership grant awards will be expected to submit periodic reports on the results of program activities. Proposals should describe and budget for a methodology for project evaluation. The evaluation plan should include an assessment of the current status of each participating department's and institution's needs at the time of program inception with specific reference to project objectives; formative evaluation to allow for mid-course revisions in the implementation strategy; and, at the conclusion of the project, summative evaluation of the degree to which the project's objectives have been achieved. The final evaluation should include indicators of the project's influence on the participating institutions and their surrounding communities or societies. The final evaluation should also include recommendations about how to build upon project achievements. Evaluative observations by external consultants with appropriate subject and regional expertise are especially encouraged. Institutional Commitment A U.S. college or university must submit the proposal and must be prepared to serve as the grant recipient with responsibility for project coordination. Proposals must include letters of commitment from all institutional partners including the institution submitting the proposal. Each letter must be signed by an official who is authorized to commit institutional resources to the project. In addition, letters of support should explain why each institution is interested in the project. Costs The commitment of all partner institutions to the proposed project should be reflected in the cost-sharing, which they offer in the context of their respective institutional capacities. Although the contributions offered by institutions with relatively few resources may be less than those offered by applicants with greater resources, all participating institutions should identify appropriate contributions. These costs may include estimated in-kind contributions. U.S. institutions are strongly encouraged to contribute to the international travel expenses for U.S. participants as part of their institutional cost-share. Proposed cost-sharing will be considered an important indicator of the applicant institution's interest in the project and potential to benefit from it. The Bureau's support may be used to assist with the costs of the exchange visits as well as the costs of the administration of the project by the U.S. grantee institution. U.S. administrative costs that may be covered by the Bureau include administrative salaries, faculty replacement costs, other direct administrative costs, and limited indirect costs. The cost of administering the project at the foreign partner organization(s) is also eligible for the Bureau's support. Although each grant will be awarded to a single U.S. institutional partner, adequate provision in the proposal for the administrative costs of the project at all partner institutions, including the foreign partner(s), is strongly encouraged--especially if a foreign partner has relatively few resources. More information on partner institution eligibility in this competition is found in this RFGP under the headings ``U.S. Institution and Participant Eligibility'' and ``Foreign Institution and Participant Eligibility.'' The proposal may include a request for funding to reinforce the activities of exchange participants through the establishment and maintenance of Internet and/or electronic mail facilities at the foreign partner institution as well as through interactive technology or non-technology based distance learning programs. Projects focusing primarily on technology or physical infrastructure development are not eligible for consideration under this competition. Proposals that include Internet, electronic mail, and other interactive technologies in countries where these technologies are not easily maintained or financed should discuss how the foreign partner institution will cover its costs after the project ends. See the associated document entitled ``Project Objectives, Goals, and Implementation'' (POGI) for additional information on the funding the Bureau may provide and on restrictions and maximum amounts that apply to certain budget categories. Applicants may propose other project activities not specifically mentioned in this solicitation if the activities reinforce the impact of the project. Pending the availability of FY 2004 funds, the maximum award in the FY 2004 competition will be $250,000. The program awards grants for up to three years. Requests for amounts smaller than the maximum are eligible. Budgets and budget notes should carefully justify the amounts requested. Grants awarded to organizations with less than four years of experience in conducting international exchange programs will be limited to $60,000. Foreign Country and Location Eligibility: Foreign partners from the following countries are eligible: --Armenia; --Azerbaijan: Proposals which designate public universities are encouraged; --Belarus; --Georgia; --Kazakhstan; --Kyrgyzstan; --Moldova; [[Page 36864]] --Russia: Proposals for partnerships with institutions located in Moscow or St. Petersburg should clearly indicate how those partnerships would have an impact on other regions. Proposals which designate a partner institution in the Russian Far East and in Tomsk are especially encouraged. --Tajikistan: There is currently a State Department warning advising U.S. citizens of potential danger in traveling in Tajikistan. This situation may change between the time this solicitation is issued and the time that a grant is implemented. Applicants may propose plans for travel by U.S. participants to Tajikistan, but such travel will be subject to prior approval by the Department of State. --Ukraine: Proposals which designate partner institutions outside Kiev are encouraged; --Uzbekistan. Partnerships including a secondary foreign partner in a country not included in the above list are eligible; however, with the exception noted below under the heading ``Central and Eastern European Partners,'' the Bureau will not cover the costs of overseas partners in countries that are not listed as eligible in this section. Central and Eastern European Secondary Partners: The Bureau encourages proposals that promote regional cooperation between Central European and Eurasian countries and that build upon collaboration between U.S. institutions and their existing partners in Central and Eastern Europe. Funds may be budgeted for the exchange of faculty between foreign partner institutions and institutions of higher learning in Central and Eastern Europe (applicants planning to submit proposals for trilateral partnerships with a partner from Central and Eastern Europe are encouraged to contact the program office). Eligible Fields The following fields are eligible if proposed projects in these fields will support democratic systems and market economies in the eligible countries: --The social, political, and economic sciences; --Business, accounting and trade; --Journalism and media studies; --Law; --Public administration and public policy analysis; --Library science; --Education, continuing education, and educational administration, including Teaching English as a Foreign Language (please note, projects focusing on the Teaching English as a Foreign Language are not encouraged for Russia or Moldova). U.S. Institution and Participant Eligibility The lead institution and grant recipient in the project must be an accredited U.S. college or university. Applications from community colleges, institutions serving significant minority populations, undergraduate liberal arts colleges, comprehensive universities, research universities, and combinations of the above are eligible. The lead U.S. organization in a consortium or other combination of cooperating institutions is responsible for submitting the application. Each application must document the lead organization's authority to represent all U.S. cooperating partners. Secondary U.S. partners may include governmental or non-governmental organizations at the federal, state, or local levels as well as non-profit service, community, and professional organizations. With the exception of translators and outside evaluators, participation is limited to teachers, advanced graduate students, and administrators from the participating U.S. institution(s). Advanced graduate students at the U.S. institution(s) are eligible for support from the project as visiting instructors at a foreign partner institution. Applicants planning to submit proposals with advanced graduate students as participants are encouraged to contact the program office to discuss the rationale for these visits. Foreign Institution and Participant Eligibility In eligible countries, participation as a primary partner is open to recognized institutions of post-secondary education. Secondary partners may include independent research institutes, relevant governmental organizations, and private non-profit organizations with project-related educational objectives. Except for translators and outside consultants reporting on the status of project objectives, participation is limited to teachers, administrators, researchers, or advanced students from the participating foreign institution(s). Any advanced student participant must have teaching responsibilities or be preparing for such responsibilities. Foreign participants must be both qualified to receive U.S. J-1 visas and willing to travel to the U.S. under the provisions of a J-1 visa during the exchange visits funded by this Program. Foreign participants may not be U.S. citizens. If proposed participants are alumni of previous partnership projects or other U.S. government funded programs, the proposal should discuss why their participation in this new program is important to the overall success of the project. Ineligibility A proposal will be deemed technically ineligible for consideration if: (1) It does not fully adhere to the guidelines established in this document and in the Solicitation Package; (2) It is not received by the deadline; (3) It is not submitted by the U.S. partner; (4) One of the partner institutions is ineligible; (5) The foreign country or geographic location is ineligible.

Grant Duration Pending the availability of funds, grant activities should begin on or about September 1, 2004 and may continue for up to three years. Grant activities are expected to be completed within a three-year timeframe. Diversity, Freedom and Democracy Guidelines Pursuant to the Bureau's authorizing legislation, programs must maintain a non-political character and should be balanced and representative of the diversity of American political, social, and cultural life. ``Diversity'' should be interpreted in the broadest sense and encompass differences including, but not limited to ethnicity, race, gender, religion, geographic location, socio-economic status, and physical challenges. Applicants are strongly encouraged to adhere to the advancement of this principle both in program administration and in program content. Please refer to the review criteria under the `Support for Diversity' section for specific suggestions on incorporating diversity into the total proposal. Public Law 104-319 provides that ``in carrying out programs of educational and cultural exchange in countries whose people do not fully enjoy freedom and democracy,'' the Bureau ``shall take appropriate steps to provide opportunities for participation in such programs to human rights and democracy leaders of such countries.'' Public Law 106--113 requires that the governments of the countries described above do not have inappropriate influence in the selection process. Proposals should reflect advancement of these goals in their program contents, to the full extent deemed feasible. Adherence to All Regulations Governing the J Visa The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is placing renewed emphasis on the secure and proper administration of Exchange Visitor (J visa) Programs and adherence by grantees and sponsors to all regulations governing the J visa. Therefore, proposals should demonstrate the applicant's capacity to meet all requirements governing the administration of Exchange Visitor Programs as set forth in 22 CFR 6Z, including the oversight of Responsible Officers and Alternate Responsible Officers, screening and selection of program participants, provision of pre-arrival information and orientation to participants, monitoring of participants, proper maintenance and security of forms, record-keeping, reporting, and other requirements. The Grantee will be responsible for issuing DS-2019 forms to participants in this program. A copy of the complete regulations governing the administration of Exchange Visitor (J) programs is available at http://exchanges.state.gov or from: United States Department of State, Office of Exchange Coordination and Designation, ECA/EC/ECD--SA-44, Room 734, 301 4th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20547, Telephone: (202) 401-9810, Fax: (202) 401-9809. Review Process The Bureau will acknowledge receipt of all proposals and will review them for technical eligibility. All eligible proposals will be evaluated by independent external reviewers. These reviewers, who will be professional, scholarly, or educational experts with appropriate regional and thematic knowledge, will provide recommendations and assessments for consideration by the Bureau. The Bureau will consider for funding only those proposals which are recommended for funding by the independent external reviewers. Proposals may be reviewed by the Office of the Legal Advisor or by other offices of the U.S. Department of State. In addition, U.S. Embassy officers may provide advisory comment. Final funding decisions are at the discretion of the Department of State's Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs. Final technical authority for assistance awards (grants) will reside with the Bureau's grants officer. Review Criteria All reviewers will use the criteria below to reach funding recommendations and decisions. Technically eligible applications will be reviewed competitively according to these criteria, which are not rank-ordered or weighted. (1) Broad and Enduring Significance of Institutional Objectives: Project objectives should have significant and ongoing impact on the participating institutions and their surrounding societies, communities, or countries by providing a deepened understanding of critical issues in one or more of the eligible fields. Project objectives should relate clearly to institutional and societal needs. (2) Creativity and Feasibility of Strategy to Achieve Project Objectives: Strategies to achieve project objectives should be feasible and realistic within the projected budget and timeframe. Proposals should contain detailed information on specific program [[Page 36866]] activities and concrete descriptions of how goals will be achieved. (3) Institutional Commitment to Cooperation: Proposals should demonstrate significant understanding by each institution of its own needs and capacities and of the needs and capacities of its proposed partner(s), together with a strong commitment by the partner institutions, during and after the period of grant activity, to cooperate with one another in the mutual pursuit of institutional objectives. (4) Project Evaluation: Proposals should describe a methodology for determining the degree to which a project meets its objectives, both while the project is underway and at its conclusion. The final project evaluation should include an external component and should provide observations about the project's influence within the participating institutions as well as their surrounding communities or societies. (5) Cost-effectiveness: Administrative and program costs should be reasonable and appropriate with cost sharing provided by all participating institutions within the context of their respective capacities. The Bureau views cost sharing as a reflection of institutional commitment to the project. Contributions should not be limited to indirect costs. (6) Support of Diversity: Proposals should demonstrate substantive support of the Bureau's policy on diversity by explaining how issues of diversity are included in project objectives for all institutional partners.

Already strapped for cash, many local social service providers will have to make do with even less after the City Council on Tuesday adopted next year's allocations for federal block grants.
Twenty-six local and city-sponsored programs had requested roughly $1.1 million in federal Community Development Block Grant funding for a range of services for the city's youth, seniors and poorest residents.
But on Tuesday, the City Council could dole out only $446,000 in available federal funds — less than half of what was requested and a nearly 20% reduction compared with what was available last year.

It didn't take long for them to find that melodies, emotions and explosions were more interesting. During the first 3 years they recorded and released 4 CD-R demos and began playing in various locations around Sweden. In the summer of 2005 they were contacted by US label Raise The Red Flag. They decided to co-op, and a full length album was released during 2006.

Welcome to Meet The Newbies, a co-hosted event from Rachel @ A Perfection Called Books and I, in which we introduce you to all of the new kids in school aka the 2015 debut authors.
Meet the debut:
Charlotte Huang is a graduate of Smith College and received an MBA from Columbia Business School, which is clearly something every aspiring writer should do. When not glued to her computer, she cheers her two sons on at sporting events and sometimes manages to stay up late enough to check out bands with her music agent husband. Charlotte lives in Los Angeles and is the author of For the Record (Delacorte, 2015)
Meet her debut novel:
Genre: YA Contemporary
Pages: 320
Releases: November 10th, 2015 by Delacorte Books For Young Readers

Book Description:
If Almost Famous were a YA novel . . . a raw, honest debut celebrating music, friendship, romance, and life on the road. Chelsea thought she knew what being a rock star was like . . . until she became one. After losing a TV talent show, she slid back into small-town anonymity. But one phone call changed everything Now she's the lead singer of the band Melbourne, performing in sold-out clubs every night and living on a bus with three gorgeous and talented guys. The bummer is that the band barely tolerates her. And when teen hearthrob Lucas Rivers take an interest in her, Chelsea is suddenly famous, bringing Melbourne to the next level—not that they're happy about that. Her feelings for Beckett, Melbourne's bassist, are making life even more complicated. Chelsea only has the summer tour to make the band—and their fans—love her. If she doesn't, she'll be back in Michigan for senior year, dying a slow death. The paparazzi, the haters, the grueling schedule . . . Chelsea believed she could handle it. But what if she can't?
Thanks so much Charlotte Huang for participating in Meet The Newbies. Get to know her main character through a top ten list of her favorite guilty pleasure songs.
Chelsea Ford is a rock star and she's taking the world by storm as the new lead singer in the band, Melbourne. But before landing this dream job, she was a contestant on a reality show singing competition that featured mostly pop performances (sound familiar?).
Everyone agrees that Chelsea is talented and brings Melbourne's hits to a new level, but her rock cred is constantly in question with her bandmates and their fans. Though she'd rather die than admit it, I imagine that Chelsea does have some favorite pop songs stashed away for whenever she needs a break from rocking out.
My Top Ten Guilty Pleasures by Chelsea Ford
10. Top of the World by Brandy
My bandmates would disown me for this one but I don't care. A feel-good song about being famous and keeping it real.
9. Stronger by Britney Spears
This song is hater eraser. If I'm in a funk, there's no better pick me up.
8. Super Bass by Nicki Minaj
I love the opening rap on this one!
7. Firework by Katy Perry
My pre-show go to for getting pumped up.
6. Freedom! '90 by George Michael
Pure old-school fun by one of the best voices.
5. Just Got Paid by N Sync
My day off anthem.
4. The Climb by Miley Cyrus
Some days are just a slog. This is for those days.
3. No Such Thing by John Mayer
Captures feelings about high school perfectly.
2. Jealous by Nick Jonas
I'm all about Nick Jonas 2.0, but the video makes me almost as stabby as it makes Pem.
1. That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings
This song has a lot of attitude. Good for those moments when I'm feeling invisible.

*Lil Wayne's jail term in a gun case has been delayed yet again – this time due to a fire in the New York courthouse where he was due to be sentenced.
Today's midmorning blaze shut down a Lower Manhattan court for the day, postponing the rapper's court date among other proceedings, courts spokesman David Bookstaver told the Associated Press.
So far, there's no word on when his sentencing — already put off two weeks because he needed dental surgery — would be rescheduled. Defense lawyer Stacey Richman said the rapper was en route to New York for his 2:15 p.m. hearing when she learned of the court closing.
Having already prepared himself for jail, Lil Wayne wasn't pleased to hear about the postponement, she said.
"Once you make up your mind to do something, you want to do it," she said.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper had been expected to get a yearlong jail term after pleading guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He admitted having a loaded gun on his tour bus when it was stopped in Manhattan in July 2007.
The 27-year-old was initially due to be sentenced and start his term last month, but the date was pushed back so he could have surgery on his gemstone-encrusted teeth. He had bid a drawn-out adieu to friends and fellow artists, including a Rolling Stone cover story last month and a video blitz this past weekend. He said in a video clip sent Monday to MTV News that he shot footage for seven music videos with various artists in one night over the weekend.
In a goodbye message posted via Twitter, Lil Wayne wrote: "Yesterday i smiled, today i smirked, tomorrow i stop. Thank for your thoughts and prayers, they're needed. The F is for family, friends, and fans……….thank u………..your love and prayers are felt. They kant lok up my heart bekuz y'all already have it on lok. ……thank u."
Meanwhile, the courthouse fire apparently started in a wooden contractor's shed in the basement of the building at 100 Centre St., which houses many of Manhattan's criminal courts, its district attorney's office and other agencies.
More than 1,000 people were forced to leave as smoke spread in the building, leaving a haze in the lobby and a light plume of yellow-brown smoke near the roof. Several surrounding blocks in the busy zone of courts and other government offices were closed for more than an hour.
Eight people suffered minor injuries, including five firefighters, the Fire Department said.

LONDON (Reuters) - More Britons want Prince Charles to become Britain's next monarch than his son William despite the huge interest in his upcoming wedding and previous suggestions he was the popular choice, a poll on Thursday said.
Shortly after William's engagement to girlfriend Kate Middleton was announced last November, two polls showed a majority of Britons thought he should succeed Queen Elizabeth and not heir-to-the-throne Charles.
However, according to a YouGov survey for Prospect Magazine released on Thursday, that sentiment has now been reversed.
The poll of 2,409 people found the public would prefer Charles to be the next king by a 45 to 37 margin, a reversal of a similar survey in 2005 which backed William by 41-37.
Prospect suggested one possible reason for the reversal was that the public felt William and Middleton should be allowed to enjoy as normal-as-possible a life after their April 29 wedding.
British constitutional expert Norman St John-Stevas said there was no possibility that the throne could bypass Charles in any case.
"It would be a major breach of our constitution," he told Reuters TV.
"It would weaken the monarchy, it would make Prince William's task infinitely more difficult, it would be an act of gross injustice to Prince Charles who has done so much for the monarchy."
The poll also found that support for scrapping the monarchy had ebbed away. Shortly after the death of Charles's wife Diana in 1997, when there was widespread anger at the royal family, a quarter of Britons wanted to get rid of them.
The survey found that figure was down to 13 percent.
There was also strong support for an overhaul to a 300-year-old law which gives primacy to male heirs to the British throne.
The poll showed that by a 75-17 percent margin, the public thought the eldest child of the monarch, whatever their sex, should succeed.

Harp Trouble In Heaven
Harp Trouble In Heaven took me a long time to get around to recording, and the songs are mostly all love songs although in ways you may not expect. This is my second album and it has been 15 years between albums. Better late than never.
I needed to make this record because I want to celebrate the huge amount of good fortune I have been the recipient of while running in this human race.

Our Atlanta car accident attorneys read about a multiple car and motorcycle wreck that happened last Friday and injured an off duty Roswell police officer. The accident happened on I-575 in Cobb County around 1:24 p.m., just north of Bells Ferry Road.
The police officer was driving his personal motorcycle northbound, possibly just completing a funeral detail or other job, and slowed for backed up traffic, which was normal on a Friday afternoon. As he slowed down, his motorcycle was hit from behind by a black Toyota Camry. The impact threw him into other vehicles. Sergeant Dana Pierce of the Cobb County Police Department said that is the last thing the police know for sure. After that, the police think the motorcycle hit a Chrysler Sebring which was travelling next to it. Then, a Chevrolet 4×4 pickup truck also became involved in the accident somehow.
The motorcycle driver was injured and taken to Grady Memorial Hospital by helicopter. His injuries were reported to be minor, according to Georgia Department of Transportation spokesman David Spear, and no one else reported any injuries from the crash. But emergency personnel had to stop traffic both ways on I-575 to set up a helicopter landing to remove him from the scene. Chief Dave Soumas of the Woodstock Fire Department said his department came to assist Cobb County officials. Chief Soumas said, "We assisted Cobb, this is well inside of Cobb County on 575. Cherokee County handled one of the patients, they drove one of the patients to the hospital. We helped Cobb with a landing zone." He noted, "Traffic is messed up in the area while the investigation is on-going." One lane was open by 4 p.m.
The fact that the motorcyclist was the only one injured in this multi-vehicle crash is not surprising. Motorcycles are much more vulnerable than cars, let alone bigger vehicles like trucks. Last week, another man involved in a motorcycle vs. car crash was not as lucky as the off duty police officer from Roswell. Sam Singletary was driving his motorcycle on Saturday when George Leonard was driving his vehicle- the crash happened at the intersection of Georgia State Route 3 and Georgia Highway 27. Mr. Singletary died in the crash, and it turns out Mr. Leonard was intoxicated at the time. Despite his being at fault and driving illegally intoxicated, it was Mr. Singletary on his motorcycle that lost his life. The Georgia State Patrol is still investigating the accident, but Leonard was charged with driving while intoxicated, having an open container, and possession of a drug related object.

Paramount Names Bob Buchi President of Worldwide Home Media Distribution
The exec previously held the title of executive vp worldwide marketing at the studio.
Bob Buchi has been promoted to president of worldwide home media distribution at Paramount, the studio announced on Friday. The exec had earlier held the title of executive vp worldwide marketing at the studio.
He will succeed Dennis Maguire, who stepped down as president of worldwide home media distribution last month amid the company-wide restructuring ordered by Paramount parent company Viacom.
Buchi will report to president of worldwide distribution and marketing Megan Colligan, who commented in a statement, "Within an ever-evolving home media landscape, Bob's proven track record of success across a diverse portfolio of theatrical releases, acquisitions, family and television product makes him the ideal person to lead our team as we continue to strive for even greater creativity and innovation."
Buchi, who joined the studio in 2006, most recently oversaw the brand, digital and retail marketing teams and was responsible for product marketing and management of studio franchises like Transformers, Star Trek, SpongeBob SqaurePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe and Paranormal Activity, the studio said.
The studio also announced that Peter Giannascoli's role as senior vp marketing for home media is expanding to include oversight of worldwide marketing for his division. In addition to Giannascoli, Buchi's senior global team includes Gaspare Benso, general manager of international home media distribution, who will oversee the previously announced transition of Paramount's international physical distribution to Universal. Buchi's domestic team of senior execs includes Jeff Hastings, senior vp domestic sales; Tripp Wood, senior vp digital sales and distribution; Howard Hsieh, vp business development and strategic analysis; and Ryan Stouffer, senior vp of VMI and operations.
