My colleague Jason Margolis recently went to Liberia to report a few stories for The World. While he was there, he spent some time with his childhood buddy Jason Hepps, who has lived and worked in Liberia for five years. Long story short, the two Jasons found themselves judging a Liberian proverb competition.
Liberian English and its cousin Liberian Kreyol are littered with pithy sayings. Most of them, though, are as incomprehensible as badly translated Chinese fortunes. For example: Your child cannot poo poo on your lap, and you cut your legs off, you just have to clean them off. Or: If one keeps pressing a young bird in his palms, the bird may one day stooled in his hands. So, on the face of it, lots of toilet humor. But the meanings of many of these sayings aren't intended to be funny. Several include refererences to Liberia's civil war and refugee camps. Jason's report centers around the night when he and his fellow Jason — with plenty of help from local experts — picked the best proverb.
Is this script a language? Yes and no. The writing system is Arabic. But the language isn't. In this case, it's Mandinka, one of many African languages that often use Arabic script. In fact, these languages have borrowed Arabic script for more than a thousand years. What's interesting though, is that Ajami has been overlooked by most historians; African history has been told through the lens of English, French or Arabic documents. Also, because Ajami isn't a language, Africans who used it were often classified as illiterate, even though they were quite capable of writing sentences of Mandinka or Hausa or Wolof. Now Ajami is getting a bit more respect, thanks to people like Fallou Ngom of Boston University and Dmitry Bondarev of the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies.
Every year, 4,000 staffers at the United Nations in New York sign up for language classes. There, they learn not just how to say things in other languages but how to say them diplomatically. Which can mean being clear, or being extremely unclear, depending on what's required. That takes practise, as does learning how to interrupt and assert yourself without being rude. Most of us have trouble with that in our mother tongues.

The Medusa Fossae formation on Mars
These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, show part of the Medusa Fossae formation and adjacent areas at the highland-lowland boundary on Mars.
The HRSC obtained these images during orbit 917 with a resolution of approximately 13 metres per pixel. The scenes show an area located at about 5º South and 213º East.
The Medusa Fossae formation is an extensive unit of enigmatic origin found near the Martian 'highland-lowland dichotomy boundary' between the Tharsis and Elysium centres of volcanic activity. This dichotomy boundary is a narrow region separating the cratered highlands, located mostly in the southern hemisphere of Mars, from the northern hemisphere's lowland plains.
The cratered highlands stand two to five kilometres higher than the lowland plains, so the boundary is a relatively steep slope. The processes that created and modified the dichotomy boundary remain among the major unanswered issues in Mars science.
The boundary between the old volcanic plateau region and part of the widespread deposits of the Medusa Fossae formation, called Amazonis Sulci, is shown in this image. In general, the formation appears as a smooth and gently undulating surface, but is partially wind-sculpted into ridges and grooves, as shown in the mosaic of nadir images.
It is commonly agreed that the materials forming Medusa Fossae were deposited by pyroclastic flows or similar volcanic ash falls. The plateau walls of the volcanic massif are partly covered by lava flows and crossed in places by valleys which were most likely carved by fluvial activity.
The remains of water-bearing inner channels are visible in the centre of the valleys and at the bottom of the massif. Superposition of the lobe-fronted pyroclastic flows indicates that the water erosion ended before their deposition. Later, a 'bolide' impacted near the massif and the ejecta blanket was spread as a flow over parts of the plateau, implying water or ice was present in the subsurface at the time of impact.
A bolide is any extraterrestrial body in the 1-10 kilometre size range, which impacts on a planetary surface, explodes on impact and creates a large crater. This is a generic term, used when we do not know the precise nature of the impacting body, whether it is a rocky or metallic asteroid, or an icy comet, for example.
The colour images have been derived from the three HRSC colour channels and nadir channel. The perspective views have been calculated from the digital terrain model derived from the stereo channels. The anaglyph image was calculated from the nadir and one stereo channel. Image resolution has been decreased for use on the internet.
Detail 1:
The highland-lowland boundary. Here the volcanic plateau fed by the southernmost Tharsis Montes volcano Arsia Mons, is dissected by several valleys which were most likely carved by running water. Here the Senus Vallis is shown in detail as an example where the latest-stage inner channel is still visible.
Detail 2:
This is the mouth of Abus Vallis, a channel of the same type as in Detail 1. Here the walls are too steep or the valley too narrow to look down to the bottom of the channel due to insolation and shading of the image, but the remains of the last stage of water activity can be traced as a small channel at the floor of the lowland plain. Additionally the emplacement of pyroclastic flows is visible in this detail. It shows that the action of water erosion ended before the emplacement of the pyroclastic flow.
Detail 3:
An impact crater is the youngest feature of the 'stratigraphic' sequence (layers of rocks produced over time) which can be observed in this image. This crater has a well preserved ejecta blanket with a 'lobate' (lobe-like) appearance, which is believed to indicate the presence of water or water ice in the impacted target. As a crater forms on a flat surface, it expands in a circular fashion. Due to the topography of the impact site the shape of the crater during expansion was disturbed by the walls of the plateau and resulted in an asymmetrical shape. The distribution of ejecta, resembling the wings of a butterfly, is due to a non-vertical impact (less than 45 degrees).
Detail 4:
The Amazonis Sulci, with its ridges and grooves, appears to be wind-sculpted. The lack of craters superposing this surface indicates that wind erosion has been the latest stage of eroding processes acting here.

I had to copy a piece of java code into the head of a new xhtml doc. The original page and the first couple of lines of code are the original code below. The page holds an .swf that calls a java function. (THIS WORKS)
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script language="javascript">AC_FL_RunContent = 0;</script>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" language="javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">
function scrolling(){
document.body.scrollTop = 750;
I made a new page in Dreamweaver /the default is xhtml transitional
and copied the code so the page now looks like this
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="description" content="Your description goes here" />
<meta name="keywords" content="your,keywords,goes,here" />
<meta name="author" content="Your Name" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/2009/idnynew.css" title="idny1.css" media="screen,projection" />
<script language="javascript">AC_FL_RunContent = 0;</script>
<script src="../AC_RunActiveContent.js" language="javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">
function scrolling(){
document.body.scrollTop = 750;
The java function does not work in the xhtml traditional or strict xhtml for that matter.
Can someone tell me why and what I have to change in the java to make it work in xhtml trans or strict?
Is it healthy to leave it alone and put the page up the way it is deleting the first line of code?
Below are two links to the same looking page.
http://idesignnewyork.com/2009/idnyhome2009.html - not working
http://idesignnewyork.com/2009/newindex.html - working
To see what I mean when the page loads click the blue JOBS / INTERNS button the working page will move down like an anchor to the Y 750 position
look at the source files for both pages, so far no one could answer this
this question was sitting in the Adobe forum for days unanswered so I thought it would be answered here.

Get writing, networking, and everyday tips from the Masters -Debra St. John, Christine Verstraete, Morgan Mandel, DL Larson, Terri Stone, Margot Justes and Rob Walker.

Children's Workshop, by DL Larson
The workshop should be fun. We'll break down a fairytale and talk about characters, plot and the action that moves a story from beginning to finish. We'll also talk about illustrators since so many children enjoy drawing. What I'd be interested in hearing from you, is what made you realize storytelling was the career choice for you. Kids love to hear how "real" people decided on a career.
The other question, other than becoming writers, editors, publishers, and librarians, etc. what are some careers that utilize wordsmiths? If you know of a career that involves writing, please share with us today. I'm sure the kids would be interested in hearing about those too.
Please take a moment to share your thoughts! Thanks ~
Til next time ~

Almost every job requires some sort of writing. Even if you're selling something, you need to find out what the product is about and look for the description. Even cereal boxes have descriptions.

Silver screen's Oscar gold: Granger predicts Academy Award winners
Following are movie reviewer Susan Granger's Oscar picks at this Sunday's 85th Academy Awards ceremony.
Make no mistake: It's a sprint to the finish line. With roughly 6,000 Academy members voting on 282 eligible films, will the Best Picture be Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" or Ben Affleck's "Argo" at the Academy Awards showcase?
With its 12 nominations, the odds are with "Lincoln" because no movie has won the top prize without an accompanying Best Director nomination since 1989's "Driving Miss Daisy," which swept the awards even though director Bruce Beresford wasn't nominated.
Yet, having won the Producers Guild Award, "Argo" seems to be the frontrunner. The PGA winner has gone on to win the Oscar 16 times during the past 23 years, including "The Artist" in 2012. And there's tremendous sympathy for Affleck because of his directing shutout.
The other Best Movie nominees are "Amour," "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Django Unchained," "Les Miserables," "Life of Pi," "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Zero Dark Thirty." "Life of Pi" received impressive nominations from all technical branches, but no acting nominations. Conversely, "Silver Linings Playbook" scored four acting nominations, but was omitted from most craft contributions. And if all four acting nominees from "SLP" win, it would be the first time in Oscar history; if none of them wins, they will join "Sunset Boulevard" and "My Man Godfrey" in a shutout.
MY PREDICTION: "Argo"
For Best Director, the nominees are Michael Haneke for "Amour," Ang Lee for "Life of Pi," David O. Russell for "Silver Linings Playbook," Steven Spielberg for "Lincoln" and newcomer Benh Zeitlin for "Beasts of the Southern Wild." What about Ben Affleck? Conspiracy theories abound, along with resentment that Affleck has directed only two other pictures -- "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town" -- but that's two more than Robert Redford or Kevin Costner helmed before they won. In hindsight, I suspect Affleck was overlooked because Academy nominations were due on Jan. 4, and the Directors Guild didn't announced their nominees until Jan. 8, so the 371 members of the Academy's Directors branch didn't have that crib sheet. Besides, Kathryn Bigelow, Tom Hooper and Quentin Tarantino were also snubbed. Although he's won three Oscars, including two for directing, many feel Spielberg is underappreciated, considering the scope of his incredible career.
MY PREDICTION: Steven Spielberg
For Best Actor, nominees are Bradley Cooper ("Silver Linings Playbook"), Daniel Day-Lewis ("Lincoln"), Hugh Jackman ("Les Miserables"), Joaquin Phoenix ("The Master") and Denzel Washington ("Flight"). Daniel Day-Lewis has swept all the critics' awards, in addition to the SAG Award from his peers, for his portrayal of America's 16th president. If Day-Lewis wins, he will be the only actor to have won three Oscars in this category. Jack Nicholson has won three times, but one of those was Best Supporting Actor.
MY PREDICTION: Daniel Day-Lewis
For Best Actress, nominees are Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Jennifer Lawrence ("Silver Linings Playbook"), Emmanuelle Riva ("Amour"), Quvenzhane Wallis ("Beasts of the Southern Wild") and Naomi Watts ("The Impossible"). At 85, Riva is the oldest Best Actress nominee, while 9-year-old Wallis is the youngest ever in this category. Shirley Temple was the youngest actress ever to win any kind of Oscar; she received the Academy Juvenile Award in 1935, when she was 6 years old. As for this year's winner, not only did Jennifer Lawrence win the SAG Award, but she also stars in the blockbuster action franchise "The Hunger Games," with a sequel scheduled later this year.
MY PREDICTION: Jennifer Lawrence
For Best Supporting Actor, nominees are Alan Arkin ("Argo"), Robert De Niro ("Silver Linings Playbook"), Philip Seymour Hoffman ("The Master"), Tommy Lee Jones ("Lincoln") and Christoph Waltz ("Django Unchained"). After critical accolades and the SAG Award, Tommy Lee Jones is the favorite.
MY PREDICTION: Tommy Lee Jones
For Best Supporting Actress, nominees are Amy Adams ("The Master"), Sally Field ("Lincoln"), Anne Hathaway ("Les Miserables"), Helen Hunt ("The Sessions") and "Jacki Weaver" ("Silver Linings Playbook"). To play doomed Fantine, Anne Hathaway reportedly lost 25 pounds, and she sings her heart out with "I Dreamed a Dream," presenting a far more poignant approach to the song.
MY PREDICTION: Anne Hathaway
For Best Original Screenplay, nominees include "Amour," "Django Unchained," "Flight," "Moonrise Kingdom" and "Zero Dark Thirty." For sheer originality, my choice would be "Moonrise Kingdom," yet "Zero Dark Thirty" has been highly controversial for its allegedly favorable depiction of using torture to hunt down Osama bin Laden.
MY PREDICTION: Mark Boal for "Zero Dark Thirty"
For Best Adapted Screenplay, nominees include "Argo," "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Life of Pi," "Lincoln" and "Silver Linings Playbook."
MY PREDICTION: Chris Terrio for "Argo"
Best Foreign Language contenders are Austria's "Amour," Norway's "Kon-Tiki," Chile's "No," Denmark's "A Royal Affair" and Canada's "War Witch." Although the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or winner is tough to watch, it speaks to many older Academy voters. On the other hand, if it won Best Picture, it would be the first French language film to do so.
MY PREDICTION: "Amour"
For Best Animated Feature, contenders are "Brave," "Frankenweenie," "ParaNorman," "The Pirates! Band of Misfits," and "Wreck-It Ralph."
MY PREDICTION: "Wreck-It Ralph"
For Best Documentary, contenders are "5 Broken Cameras," "The Gatekeepers," "How to Survive a Plague," "The Invisible War" and "Searching for Sugar Man." For the first time this year, all Academy members will vote in three additional categories: Best Documentary, Best Animated Short Subject and Best Live Action Short Subject; previously, these categories were decided by members who attended special screenings.
MY PREDICTION: "Searching for Sugar Man"
Additional Academy Award categories:
Cinematography: "Life of Pi"
Film Editing: "Argo"
Best Visual Effects: "Life of Pi" for creating the tiger, Richard Parker
Costume Design: "Anna Karenina"
Make-up: "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"
Original Song: Adele for "Skyfall"
Original Score: Mychael Danna for "Life of Pi"
Production Design: "Les Miserables"
Animated Short Film: "Paperman"
Live Action Short Film: "Curfew"
Documentary Short Subject: "Open Heart"
Sound Editing: "Zero Dark Thirty"
Sound Mixing: "Les Miserables"
Hosted by Seth MacFarlane (creator of the animated TV show "Family Guy"), ABC-TV's Oscar broadcast at 7 p.m. Sunday will include a retrospective montage honoring the 50-year-old James Bond franchise, along with an homage to recent movie musicals, including "Dreamgirls," "Chicago" and "Les Miserables," with performances by Adele, Shirley Bassey, Norah Jones and Barbra Streisand.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia have loaned a Triton and Pajero to Guide Dogs Victoria as the world's biggest guide dog, Gulliver, arrives in Melbourne ahead of International Guide Dog Day on Wednesday 27 April.
Standing at 4.25 metres tall on his trailer, and weighing 690 kilograms, the Triton and Pajero have made light work of Gulliver, towing him around the state to help raise awareness of the important role Guide Dogs play in enabling freedom and independence for people living with vision loss.
"Thanks to Mitsubishi, our larger-than-life mascot Gulliver has travelled safely across the country to help us celebrate International Guide Dog Day and promote the Recollections exhibition, landing out the front of the State Library on Wednesday," said Karen Hayes, CEO Guide Dogs Victoria.
Made of foam and coated in fibreglass, Gulliver replicates the iconic model guide dog collection boxes that Australian's are accustomed to seeing in shopping centres since the 1970s.
Gulliver will stop by high-profile areas of the city this week including the Victorian State Library and Royal Exhibition Building in his role of reminding the public that guide dogs are allowed in all public places.
If you have a question or comment about Mitsubishi or any of our vehicles please call us.

John McCain's Sons
Talk about putting your most valuable where your mouth is! Apparently this was not "newsworthy"enough for the media to comment about. Can either of the other presidential candidates truthfully come close to this? .... Just a question for each of us to seek an answer, and not a statement.
You see...character is what's shown when the public is not looking. There
were no cameras or press invited to what you are about to read about, and the story comes from one person in New Hampshire.
One evening last July, Senator John McCain of Arizona arrived at the New Hampshire home of Erin Flanagan for sandwiches, chocolate-chip cookies and a heartfelt talk about Iraq. They had met at a presidential debate, when she asked the candidates what they would do to bring home American soldiers, soldiers like her brother, who had been killed in action a few months earlier.
Mr. McCain did not bring cameras or press. Instead, he brought his youngest son, James McCain, 19, then a private first class in the Marine Corps about to leave for Iraq. Father and son sat down to hear more about Ms. Flanagan's brother Michael Cleary, a 24-year-old Army First Lieutenant killed by an ambush ... a roadside bomb.
No one mentioned the obvious: In just days, Jimmy McCain could face
similar perils. 'I can't imagine what it must have been like for them as they were coming to meet with a family that ....' Ms. Flanagan recalled, choking up. 'We lost a dear one,' she finished.
Mr. McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee, has staked his
candidacy on the promise that American troops can bring stability to Iraq. What he almost never says is that one of them is his own son, who spent seven months patrolling Anbar Province and learned of his father's New Hampshire victory in January while he was digging a stuck military vehicle out of the mud.
Two of Jimmy's three older brothers went into the military. Doug McCain, 48, was a Navy pilot. Jack McCain, 21, is to graduate from the Naval Academy next year, raising the chances that his father, if elected, could become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower with a son at war.
I chose to share this with those who I believe will pass it on, to others
who will pass it on. We hear so much inflated trash out there. How about a simple act of kindness ... and dedication to others placed above oneself?
Has anybody heard if Barack Hussein Obama has served in The American Armed Services?
For all you Barack voters.
From Barack's book, Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly
He did NOT say stand with Americans!

As always, another lie.
Actual quote from 'The Audacity of Hope'
[pg. 261]:
"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
All these RW forwards demonstrate is an ideology so shallow and bankrupt of ideas, that they need to resort to subterfuge and calumny.

Well thanks to John McCain and his sons, who served in the military. And thanks to Joe Biden's son who currently stationed in Afganistan (I think, or Iraq). And no BHO did not serve in the military.
But what about W? Who went AWOL when in the Reserves, and Lush Rimjob who got a 4F for @ss pustules, or Dickhead Cheney who got out of milatary service, too.
Oh, that's right: IAOKIYAR.
Please, spare me. What a bunch of b.s.

Selling Kevin Correia's Wins
By Tommy Rancel //
A quick check of the pitching leaderboards and you'll find quite a surprise at the top of the wins column. With eight victories in 12 starts, Kevin Correia is two-third of the way to his career-high in victories (12); and it's early June.
Signed in the offseason by the Pirates to a modest one-year deal, Correia was named Pittsburgh's opening day starter. Since then he has rattled off a league leading eight wins with 3.40 ERA in 76.2 innings. While Correia has been a pleasant surprise to fantasy owners who picked him up early on, he is a definite sell high candidate.
Correia has been a nice source of wins, ERA, and WHIP; however, he offers little in the way of strikeouts (career low 3.99 K/9) and has some areas where regression may set in. His .265 batting average on balls in play is low, but not flukishly low. In terms of home runs allowed, his 0.82 HR/9 is below is career 1.03 rate while his home run-to-flyball rate of 7.4% should be closer to 10%.
If and when he regresses, it will not be as steep as some might think. Meanwhile, it will certainly lower his value which is at an all-time high. Correia should easily end up with double-digit victories; however, his ERA is likely to spike from the 3.40 level. It shouldn't go as high as his career mark of 4.46, but somewhere in the low 4.00 range is likely. He has also been the beneficiary of offensive run support with nearly 22% of the Pirates total runs coming with Correia on the mound.
A good team manager is one that is able to identify sell-high opportunities in on area in order to strengthen another area of weakness. Moving Correia at his current value allows for that to happen. In every league, there is someone who is starving for pitching and may be willing to overpay.
If you can get back a productive position player at weak position (shortstop, catcher) for Correia's early season hot streak, do it now. Looking around the waiver wire, you should be able to replace Correia rather easily with a lesser known player like Josh Collementer in NL-Only leagues or Matt Harrison in mixed formats.

After months of delay, the long awaited Kinect Star Wars is finally coming soon. I managed to get a sneak preview of the game yesterday. As a Star Wars fan, I must say that I quite like the game.
The Kinect Star Wars has 5 different modes: Jedi Destiny: Dark Side Rising, Duels of Fate, Podracing, Rancor Rampage and Galactic Dance Off.
In Jedi Destiny: Dark Side Rising, you play as a Jedi, wielding a Lightsaber and master the use of the force in combat against the Trade Federation Droids. This is actually my favorite game mode. You get to use the force to lift opponents and throw them away. Use your Lightsaber to deflect blaster shots. Or simply cut your opponent into 2 pieces with your Lightsaber. And you get a good workout in the process.
Duels of Fate is the Lightsaber duel mode where you fight against the opponents from the Dark Side like Count Dooku, Sith, Darth Vader and more. Surprisingly, this is my least favorite mode. Game play for this mode isn't as fun as others. It just doesn't feel right to be having a Lightsaber duel with air.
The Podracing mode is pretty straight forward. Drive the Podracer in the most dangerous sport in the Galaxy. There's 6 races across 5 planets in the Podracing mode.
Rancor Rampage mode is kinda interesting. You play as the Rancor monster that has escaped from Jabba's palace. Your job is simple, wreak havoc. Good de-stressing game after a long day of work.
The last game mode is the Galactic Dance Off mode. In short, it is the Star Wars version of Dance Central. If you are a fan of Star Wars and love Dance Central, this game mode is for you. Dance together with Star Wars characters like Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, C3PO etc. The music used are remakes of popular songs with a Star Wars theme. Pretty fun. But you need some time to get used to seeing Han Solo dancing. Trust me, its pretty hilarious when you see it for the first time.
Kinect Star Wars game will retail at S$59.90. The Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars console bundle will retail at S$649.00. Fans who pre-order from retail will be able to collect their purchases on 3 April 2012, from 12:30pm to 8pm at Plaza Singapura Main Atrium.
I must say that the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars console is very tempting. The console design looks beautiful. It even do the R2D2 beeping sound when you turn on/off the console. The white Kinect sensor looks beautiful too. The only thing I don't like is the C3PO inspired golden controller.
The Kinect Star Wars will begin retailing in Singapore from 5 April 2012 at all participating retailers.
PS: Check out more Kinect Star Wars screenshots at DKSG Facebook page.

In this injury there is bruising of the brain, swelling, pressure, and bleeding (intracerebral hemorrhage). This can easily lead to permanent, severe brain damage or death. If a child has this injury there are usually no outward physical signs of trauma, but there may be a change in the child's behavior such as irritability, lethargy, pale or bluish skin, vomiting, and convulsions.

The head of the Block Against Islam Martin Konvička has been charged with inciting hatred toward a group of people based on their religious beliefs. According to his lawyer Klara Samkova, Konvička was charged on the grounds of statements made on Facebook in 2011 and 2014. The Block Against Islam claims the charges are politically motivated.
The Czech police are reported to have arrested four persons wanted for illegal migrant smuggling. They are believed to be part of an international organized gang wanted by the Belgian authorities. All four are Czech nationals who were tasked with finding lorry drivers willing to smuggle migrants across Europe. A Czech court is to rule on their extradition to Belgium.
Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka on Tuesday countered the president's words about migrants and terrorism, stressing the need to distinguish between terrorists who present a global threat and refugees fleeing from war and terror. We need to keep in mind that the security threat comes from terrorists, not from migrants who need our help, Mr. Sobotka told journalists. In recent days the Czech head of government has been at pains to publicly counter some of the president's views on the migrant issue and strongly criticized his speech to an anti-migrant gathering in Prague on November 17th.
Police are reported to have arrested a number of Prague taxi-drivers suspected of overcharging tourists. According to the news site ihned.cz the police had been monitoring them for some time and had collected enough proof against them to press charges. Although Prague taxi-drivers are notorious for ripping off foreign visitors, this is the first time that the police have taken action against them. The state attorney dealing with the case has confirmed the news, but refused to specify how many drivers may be charged.
Foreign nationals sentenced to more than three years in prison for a premeditated crime or serial offenders will lose their right to residence in the Czech Republic, according to an amendment to the asylum law signed into force by the president. The new law will make it easier for qualified workers to get a residence permit and will enable asylum seekers to find employment six months after filing their request.
Czech officials have expressed concern over the downing of a Russian fighter jet somewhere on the Turkish-Syrian border by Turkish forces early on Tuesday. Speaking on an official visit to China, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said the incident showed the need for better communication and coordination among states fighting ISIL in the region. Czech Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek said the incident should serve as an urgent warning for the international community to get together and agree on a common strategy. Since there is no agreement and no clearly defined enemy individual parties are fighting their own war in their own interests, and the lack of coordination only serves the terrorists, the Czech foreign minister said in a statement published on the ministry's web page. President Zeman said the shooting down of the Russian fighter jet was a radical measure which would only increase tensions in the region. Turkey claims the jet violated its airspace, while Russia claims to have proof that it never left Syrian territory.
The state attorney in the trail against the former governor of Central Bohemia David Rath has revealed that he appealed the verdict according to which Rath was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for corruption. State attorney Petr Jirát says he wants tougher punishment for the former governor. A regional court in Central Bohemia found Rath guilty of accepting bribes and manipulating public tenders linked to funding from the European Union. Rath, who pleaded not guilty, appealed the verdict on the spot.
The Chinese company CEFC is to invest ten million euros into a center of traditional Chinese medicine in the Czech Republic, the head of the Hradec Králové Hospital Roman Prymula told the ctk news agency on Tuesday. Mr. Prymula is part of Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka's entourage on his six-day business mission to China. The centre should be completed within a year and a half and operate on a 30-strong medical staff, including eight doctors from Shanghai. A small clinic of traditional Chinese medicine is already in operation within the Hradec Králové hospital but due to considerable interest it is unable to meet demand.
President Miloš Zeman has said it would be naive to think that that there is no possible link between the wave of Islamic migrants and the threat of terrorism. Speaking at a meeting of the army command on Tuesday, the president said that the danger of terrorism had come closer to the country's borders and argued that it was impossible to rule out the presence of jihadists in the uncontrolled wave of migrants flowing through Europe. Mr. Zeman praised the army's participation in foreign missions saying that by fighting terrorists far from home Czech soldiers were helping to keep them away from Czech and European borders.
The European beaver has been spotted for the first time in Prague in 185 years, a "camera trap" run by the Czech University of Life Sciences has revealed. The head of the research team Aleš Vorel confirmed that a lodge built by the animals housed at least one beaver couple. The team will monitor the animals' activities and movement within the city, he said.

Round 1
Editor's Note: This mock was submitted prior to the beginning of the NFL Draft.
Note: Listed by pick, team, player, position, and college. Underclassmen indicated by a single asterisk (*) for juniors and a double asterisk (**) for third-year sophomores.
1. Carolina Panthers – Cam Newton, QB, Auburn*
Rarely this late in the process is the first pick still such an open-ended question, but with Carolina unable to start contract negotiations due to the lockout, there will be some element of drama right down to the wire tonight. Despite this, the nearly unanimous opinion is that Newton will be the pick, and the reports suggest that Carolina has spent the most time looking into him. As discussed even back when Nick Fairley or Da'Quan Bowers were topping mocks, eight of the last ten drafts have started with a quarterback, and the pressure to follow that path is immense if you don't have an obvious franchise quarterback on your roster. QB Blaine Gabbert is still in consideration, but Newton appears to have a higher ceiling and there is no denying he is a winner after winning a JUCO and FBS National Championship over the last two years. I would have the non-quarterback finalists in this order: DL Marcell Dareus, WR A.J. Green, and CB Patrick Peterson.
Previous pick: Newton
2. Denver Broncos – Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU*
I still believe Peterson is the best player in the draft and don't see a corner with his skill falling out of the top five. He is a unique talent as a big, speedy, playmaking corner and as a returner in the mold of Charles Woodson. This draft is deep at defensive linemen, which makes Peterson a better value at this spot.
Previous pick: Peterson
3. Buffalo Bills – Marcell Dareus, DL, Alabama*
Even though Chan Gailey seems impressed enough with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to use this pick instead to help his struggling defense, I get the feeling he and the Bills could cave to the pressure of drafting QB Blaine Gabbert. If Cam Newton falls here, he is a no-brainer; otherwise, they are probably looking at defense. A lot of people are mocking OLB Von Miller in this spot, and while that makes some sense, a linebacker at the third pick is a big risk. Peterson and Dareus are the two safest picks on defense. Not only is Peterson not available in this mock, but if he were, the front seven would remain a bigger need than the secondary. The Bills can't decide if they are a base 3-4 or 4-3, but Dareus is a good fit for either.
Previous pick: Dareus
4. Cincinnati Bengals – A.J. Green, WR, Georgia*
I previously mocked QB Blaine Gabbert here because I believe Carson Palmer is serious about not returning to Cincinnati and owner Mike Brown has previously had no problem pulling the trigger on a quarterback early in the draft. However, I now think Brown will play chicken with Palmer and see which quarterback prospects fall to them in the second round. Even without the acrimony, Palmer has been falling apart the last few years, and it would be a smart move to bring in a potential successor this year with an early pick. As I now project them to wait on a quarterback, WR A.J. Green is the easy pick. With Terrell Owens gone and Chad Ochocinco seeming likely to follow him, or taking his talents to the soccer pitch, the Bengals land the top wide receiver prospect in the draft.
Previous pick: QB Blaine Gabbert
5. Arizona Cardinals – Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
Many mocks have Miller gone by this pick, and that is a possibility, but even the fifth pick is unusually high for a linebacker—even one regarded as perhaps the safest pick among the elite prospects in the draft. QB Blaine Gabbert has gained a lot of steam in mocks, and he should be here if Cincinnati doesn't blink at Carson Palmer, but QB Ryan Mallett may remind head coach Ken Whisenhunt of another super-sized quarterback he helped develop when he was offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh. However, this division is winnable if the Cardinals bring in a veteran starter, and Arizona should be high on the list of desired destinations for most of the top free agents and trade targets. They already have a couple of developmental prospects I don't think Whisenhunt is ready to give up on yet, so acquiring a veteran passer and addressing their other needs seems like their best strategy.
Previous pick: Miller
6. Cleveland Browns – Julio Jones, WR, Alabama*
While some of Cleveland's young receivers have potential, Jones is an elite talent who gives QB Colt McCoy the big-play target he currently lacks. It would be hard not to address the defensive line, but this draft is deep up front on defense and I can't see Jones—or WR A.J. Green if he falls—getting by Cleveland.
Previous pick: WR A.J. Green
7. San Francisco 49ers – Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri*
I have some doubts Gabbert will fall this far, but I have far more doubt that CB Patrick Peterson, who is frequently mocked here, will make it out of the top five. I think Peterson and Gabbert are the top two players on Jim Harbaugh's draft board, and as I said in my last mock, I think he would love to get his hands on Gabbert. Physically, Gabbert is a similar prospect to Andrew Luck, with the prototypical build, a nice arm, and some good athleticism. I'm not saying Gabbert is as good a prospect as Luck, but I think Harbaugh could see in him someone with the raw materials he needs to build a franchise quarterback.
Previous pick: CB Prince Amukamara
8. Tennessee Titans – Jake Locker, QB, Washington
Despite the departure of Jeff Fisher, GM Mike Reinfeldt has said the team still plans to follow through with their previously announced intention to trade or cut Vince Young. With Reinfeldt getting an extension, he appears to have emerged from the changes in Tennessee as the man with the most power over personnel decisions. Locker's valuation differs wildly, but I don't see him getting out of the first round. Without free agency this year, teams as bare at quarterback as Tennessee is will feel additional pressure to address that position earlier in the draft. I think Locker's intangibles will factor heavily for a team looking for a leader who has proven he can weather tough times. If they chose to leave the first round with Rusty Smith as their only quarterback under contract, this would be the floor for OLB Von Miller. It's not likely that he makes it this far, but a stud outside linebacker could be their biggest need. It is popular to mock DT Nick Fairley here, but addressing the edges seems a bigger concern. While they went with DE Derrick Morgan in the first round last year, both of last year's starters (Jason Babin and Dave Ball) are UFAs. Jacob Ford may also be, depending on the results of the new CBA. In this mock, all the 4-3 ends are still on the board, so that could be the Titans' plan if they decide against a quarterback. Despite Kenny Britt's latest legal problems, I don't think they go wide receiver here, although the run-blocking of WR Julio Jones would be welcomed by RB Chris Johnson, if Jones fell here.
Previous pick: Locker
9. Dallas Cowboys – Tyron Smith, OT, USC*
Three of the Cowboys' top four ends are free agents, so it will be hard to pass on all the great five-technique ends still available, and I could see DE J.J. Watt as an alternative here. However, the offensive line needs help, and keeping Tony Romo off the turf to utilize all their weapons has to be a priority. Tyron Smith is raw but an incredible physical specimen who could immediately replace Marc Colombo at right tackle, working his way to the left side in the future. He alleviated concerns about his playing weight being well under 300 lbs in college when he showed up to the combine at 307. No way CB Patrick Peterson falls this far, but don't rule out Jerry Jones trading up if he's in love with Peterson. However, I expect them to fix secondary issues by going after free agent Nnamdi Asomugha, who played under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan in Oakland.
Previous pick: Smith
10. Washington Redskins – Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State
This will be a panic pick by head coach Mike Shanahan if he can't move up to get QB Blaine Gabbert or if QB Jake Locker doesn't fall here. Addressing the defensive line or going with WR Julio Jones, as I did in my previous mock, would be a smarter pick, but I think Shanahan will worry about waiting to see what quarterback falls to him in the second round. He has backed himself into a corner after creating irreconcilable differences with QB Donovan McNabb and after learning what the rest of the NFL already knew about backup QB Rex Grossman: He is too inconsistent to be a starter. Having already failed at going the veteran route with McNabb, Shanahan seems to have little choice but to draft a new quarterback this year. While Ponder has gained momentum as a first-round pick in the mock draft community—and I agree he is probably the most NFL-ready quarterback right now—I think his unspectacular arm strength and injury history would be enough to push him out of the first round in most other years. But this isn't a typical year, and Washington has some unusual pressure on them to find a quarterback in this draft.
Previous pick: WR Julio Jones
11. Houston Texans – Aldon Smith, OLB, Missouri**
New defensive coordinator Wade Phillips gets a player with the potential to be another DeMarcus Ware for their new 3-4 defense. I've been going back and forth on whether that player is Smith or Robert Quinn, but I'm settling on Smith. CB Prince Amukamara seems to be the most likely alternative if they don't add a pass rusher.
Previous pick: OLB Robert Quinn
12. Minnesota Vikings – Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn*
After bringing in Craig Johnson from Tennessee to be their new quarterbacks coach, there was speculation that Vince Young could follow him. I think the Vikings would prefer to start fresh at the position, and new offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave helped develop a rookie quarterback to quick success with Matt Ryan in Atlanta. However, the only option in this mock would be QB Ryan Mallett, and while I've previously stated my belief that Mallett's talent will win out over his alleged character concerns, I believe this team is done with any sort of drama at the position and will be influenced more than other teams by their choice's baggage. I also believe they are the top contender to acquire Donovan McNabb and get right back to being a playoff contender with a veteran solution like that. It appears some of the shine is off the Lombardi Award winner after his MVP performance in Auburn's national championship victory, but if Fairley falls this far, the Vikings will be sure to sweep him up. With the Williams Wall crumbling, between Pat's age and Kevin finally about to serve a four-game suspension for the StarCaps mess, addressing defensive tackle will be a big priority this offseason—even bigger than defensive end, which seems to be the most popular alternative (other than quarterback) among most mock drafts.
Previous pick: Fairley
13. Detroit Lions – Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
I think if Amukamara falls here, he is a no-brainer pick. I've gone back and forth on whether he will make it this far, and if he doesn't, I think the Lions go offensive tackle, likely Anthony Castonzo, as I picked in my previous mock.
Previous pick: OT Anthony Castonzo
14. St. Louis Rams –Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina*
It's a disappointment that WR Julio Jones isn't available here, but the Rams move on to address their lack of an elite pass rusher, and I think they will be happy with the choices they have at wide receiver in the second round. This could be where the freefall for DE Da'Quan Bowers stops, but I think he is too similar a player to the Rams' current defensive end, Chris Long. Quinn is more of a pure speed pass rusher, better suited at right defensive end. A benign brain tumor he has dealt with since high school and his missing this past season as part of the agent scandal that rocked the UNC program make Quinn a risky pick. However, his freakish athleticism and pass rush ability make him worth the gamble. Steve Spanuolo likes flexibility in his defensive line, which also makes ends Cameron Jordan or Adrian Clayborn potential fits here, as well as Bowers. But in addition to my previous comments on Bowers, a team that plays most of their games on turf may also be additionally concerned, for right or wrong, about his knee.
Previous pick: DE Aldon Smith
15. Miami Dolphins – Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama*
Sometimes a pick becomes so obvious and unanimously agreed upon that everyone starts to look for a reason to change their mind; then it ends up being the guy we all originally had slotted there in the first place. Ingram is exactly that guy and I'm going to stick with him here. Expected to be the strength of the Dolphins offense in 2010, the running game was extremely disappointing behind Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. Both are free agents and past their prime, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see both gone and Ingram or Mikel LeShoure as the new face of the Miami backfield. Others have strayed from this pick because of concerns about Ingram's knee. I previously stated this is a bit of a smokescreen—likely started by the Patriots, who would love Ingram to fall to them—and I still believe in Ingram as a first-round talent. The intriguing alternative I see here is QB Ryan Mallett. Miami took a long, hard look at him and this might be the last spot in the first round, barring a trade, that makes sense for him. Alas, I still can't pull the trigger on him going here. I think this spot is too high for any interior line prospects, and teams are confusing Mike Pouncey with his brother a bit in how high they are rating him. So if the pick isn't Ingram or Mallett, I'd expect a defensive prospect.
Previous pick: Ingram
16. Jacksonville Jaguars – Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue
While it's always difficult to predict what GM Gene Smith will do in the draft, he's been very forthcoming about his intent to focus on improving the defensive side of the ball. A shutdown corner is one possibility, but with the value Smith places on character, I think Jimmy Smith scares him off. Continuing to address the pass rush seems the most likely option. Bowers' freefall could stop here, but with a clean record off the field and a tireless motor on it, Kerrigan is a perfect fit.
Previous pick: DE Da'Quan Bowers
17. New England Patriots (via Oakland Raiders) – Cameron Jordan, DE, California
The versatile and fundamentally sound Jordan is the ideal Belichick player, but he may not fall this far. If he does, the Patriots use the pick they acquired for Richard Seymour to get his long-term replacement. Tweener Ryan Kerrigan, another classic Belichick type of guy, could have been this pick. I could also easily see this pick and the next flipped.
Previous pick: Jordan
18. San Diego Chargers – J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin*
Watt has the prototypical build for a five-technique end and rose up draft boards after showing some surprising ability to penetrate as a pass rusher. I think the Chargers are all about the front seven in this draft, and if one of the tweeners like Robert Quinn, Aldon Smith, or Ryan Kerrigan falls here, any one of them could easily be the pick as well.
Previous pick: Watt
19. New York Giants –Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College
GM Jerry Reese is hardcore advocate of drafting the best player available, so this pick could go a number of ways. I think offensive tackles are being underrated in most mocks, including this one, so one should be an excellent value here. The order the offensive tackles will come off the board remains highly debatable, but with ideal measurables, four years of quality starting experience, and enough athleticism, most agree Castonzo is the safest pick because he has the highest floor. The ties of head coach Tom Coughlin to Boston College don't hurt, either. I've gone back and forth with Castonzo and OT Nate Solder at this pick. I don't see Solder as an elite talent; he doesn't seem to have the footwork to protect the blindside. However, many respected opinions like those of Rick Gosselin and Mike Mayock have him going in the first, so I'll fit him in later. I see this as the ceiling for G Mike Pouncey, as well, and the interior line is a need—and Castonzo did some work at guard at the Senior Bowl, so his potential flexibility could help his value. You can also never rule out the Giants taking a defensive lineman. Their free agent additions to the interior haven't panned out as well as hoped, so I wouldn't be surprised to see DT Corey Liuget go here.
Previous pick: OT Nate Solder
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson*
This is a great draft for the Bucs to address their need at defensive end. Fortunately this scenario offers them a couple of choices (Bowers and Adrian Clayborn) in a freefall. Tampa Bay would probably like more of a pure speed pass rusher, and it was rumored that tweener Justin Houston was a target here. But a failed drug test will probably push him out of the first round.
Previous pick: DE Ryan Kerrigan
21. Kansas City Chiefs – Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor
The increase of 3-4 defenses in the league has put a premium on true nose tackles. Ron Edwards and Shaun Smith formed a serviceable tandem during the Chief's year of transition, but both are free agents, and Taylor has risen up draft boards after an impressive Senior Bowl week—although the expected red flags are now surfacing. Concerns about his feet and workout habits sound like smokescreens and I expect Taylor to remain in the first round.
Previous pick: Taylor
22. Indianapolis Colts – Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
The need and importance of offensive tackle, along with the quality of candidates who should still be available here, seem to make addressing tackle at this spot a no-brainer. I made my opinion known on Solder under the Giants pick above, but I see him as a good fit here. The Colts have shown interest in OT Derek Sherrod, who I had here in my last mock, so I could see him as another likely pick. I think there is zero chance they take a quarterback with this pick.
Previous pick: OT Derek Sherrod
23. Philadelphia Eagles – Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
I've had OT Gabe Carimi projected here since my first mock, but I'm now coming around to thinking Andy Reid addresses a bigger need with Smith here. Reid isn't scared off by character concerns, although Smith has quite a laundry list, so it wouldn't be a surprised to see him fall out of the first round. Unlike linebacker, which may be their biggest need, corner is one of the positions Reid isn't averse to addressing in the first round (Lito Sheppard in 2002, when Reid went DB with the Eagles' first three picks). I could still see Carimi going here if they don't take Smith. Carimi lacks the footwork to be a left tackle, but the right side is just as important in Philadelphia, with the left-handed Michael Vick under center. With a nasty attitude and physical similarities to Jon Runyan, Carimi will remind some of the man Winston Justice has been unable to successfully replace at right tackle.
Previous pick: OT Gabe Carimi
24. New Orleans Saints –Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
The run defense needs help, and with no playmaking linebacker a good value here, New Orleans will look to strengthen the front four. Although regarded as one of the top overall prospects entering the year, Clayborn saw his stock drop after a disappointing senior season. And he didn't do himself any favors by not participating in the Senior Bowl. Concerns about the Erb Palsy in his right arm gained some legitimacy with the limited strength he displayed in the bench press despite his short arms. I believe Clayborn could fall out of the first, but in this part of the draft, a team with need up front could see him as a value pick. His flexibility to slide down inside should be appealing to DC Gregg Williams.
Previous pick: DT Corey Liuget
25. Seattle Seahawks –Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois*
I don't see Charlie Whitehurst as a franchise quarterback. And Seattle fans should be really alarmed if head coach Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider already feel that way, too, after supposedly putting in the due diligence to trade a third-round pick for him. While I've tinkered with mocking a quarterback here previously, I now think there is no way the Seahawks give up on Whitehurst already. They have more than enough holes to fill elsewhere, despite their backing into the playoffs last year. This could also be a landing spot for G Mike Pouncey.
Previous pick: QB Ryan Mallett
26. Baltimore Ravens – Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi
With only Lardarius Webb and Domonique Foxworth under contract, and with the latter coming off a blown knee last year, cornerback is the Ravens' biggest need. But with CB Jimmy Smith off the board, I'm not sure they reach for CB Aaron Williams. Efforts to plug the position with free agents haven't been successful and they need an influx of talented youth, but there are deep second and third tiers for them to choose from later in the draft. If they don't address corner here, they likely finally resolve their strained relationship with Jared Gaither by selecting Sherrod, a player they expressed interest in at the Senior Bowl and combine. One way or another, I think they will part ways with Gaither when the lockout ends.
Previous pick: CB Jimmy Smith
27. Atlanta Falcons – Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame*
The severe hamstring injury that ended Rudolph's season early helps the Falcons get their eventual replacement for Tony Gonzalez. With the future Hall of Famer around for another year, Rudolph has time to fully recover and be eased into a feature role as he learns from watching one of the best. If not Rudolph, this pick will be about speed—either an edge rusher, which I don't see value at here, or a wide receiver to spread the field for Roddy White, though they could still find good options at the position in the second round.
Previous pick: Rudolph
28. New England Patriots – Mike Pouncey, OG/C, Florida
Although it's an impossible exercise to predict Bill Belichick's moves, expectations are that edge rusher and offensive line will be addressed among their windfall of picks in the first two rounds. The value looks best at defensive end with their first pick, but I could go either way here. Pouncey seems like the value pick over the outside linebackers, so I give him the nod over Brooks Reed or Akeem Ayers here. O-lineman Danny Watkins is another possibility. The 26-year-old Canadian and former firefighter has the versatility and blue-collar work ethic that appeal to Belichick.
Previous pick: OLB Justin Houston
29. Chicago Bears – Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
In my last mock, I bought into the growing sentiment that DT Marvin Austin would go here. The Bears lost Tommy Harris, DC Rod Marinelli has previously brought the best out of players with some baggage, and GM Jerry Angelo only knows defense. Then a highlight reel of Jay Cutler's Greatest Hits (on him by the opposition) played through my head and I realized they have to do something to protect the most-sacked quarterback in the league. Offensive line coach Mike Tice reportedly loves Carimi, although this is probably the absolute floor for him, so he might not even make it this far.
Previous pick: DT Marvin Austin
30. New York Jets – Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple*
The biggest strength of this draft may be 3-4 defensive end prospects, so the Jets should find a great value here at a position where age and depth on their squad are a concern. Although he remained under the radar in the MAC, Wilkerson has been a beast at defensive tackle this season. And he has the agility and the ability to penetrate, which should make him a great fit at end for the Jets.
Previous pick: Wilkerson
31. Pittsburgh Steelers – Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
While usually adhering to a policy of drafting the best player available over need, the Steelers may see those two strategies converge this year. The end is near for stalwart DE Aaron Smith after suffering season-ending injuries in three of his last four years and having turned 35 this year. After an up-and-down season for Heyward, a dominating performance in the Sugar Bowl reminded teams of why he was one of the top prospects as a five-technique end at the beginning of 2010. Tommy John surgery in January has prevented him from working out and is hurting his draft stock, but it isn't a long-term concern.
Previous pick: Heyward
32. Green Bay Packers –Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina
The depth of the Packers was highlighted on their way to winning the Super Bowl despite a number of key injuries, so they definitely have the luxury of taking a gamble here. I think Austin has made his way back in to the first round and he has some potential as a flexible player in a 3-4 front.
Previous pick: OLB Brooks Reed

I ran for public office because as a husband and father, small business owner and member of the United States Army Reserve, I believe it's time to impose a disciplined approach in Olympia. I will continue to work for a Washington with a strong economy, safe communities, and excellent public schools. It's time to get results.

What is the PR secret to staying "on- message" and in the public eye for over forty years? The death this week of Helen Gurley Brown (HGB), former Editor- in-Chief of Cosmopolitan and author of once scandalous books, provides some clues. Since the 1970s, she never stopped preaching the same message. And women in particular, kept on listening.
Feminists were never quite sure where to place HGB. Some staged a sit-in at her offices in protest during her editorship of Cosmo, while others lambasted her "teenage immaturity." She certainly knew how to scandalize, claiming "I've never worked anywhere without being sexually involved with somebody in the office." Did this include her boss? "Why discriminate against him?" was her tart reply. Cheeky!
Having shocked America with her thesis that unmarried women not only had sex but also enjoyed it, the NY Times recently wrote that she spent "the next three decades telling those women precisely how to enjoy it even more." Bottom line, her aim, she said, was to tell women "How to get everything out of life — the money, recognition, success, men, prestige, authority, dignity — whatever she is looking at through the glass her nose is pressed against." So it wasn't just about sex after all.
The PR Verdict: "A" (PR Perfect) for HGB. Her message was simple: Kick off the conversation with headline-grabbing sex, but broaden into "having it all." No wonder she was still listened to.
The PR Takeaway: Lasting success comes from wrapping a simple message into a wider discourse. Weighing in at 100 pounds all her life, HGB was a socio-political heavyweight, talking about sex in the wider empowered context of "having it all" and being your best. The mistress of the sound bite, HGB was famous for her motto, "Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls go everywhere." Back in 1970, she was already speaking to the Sex & the City zeitgeist, perhaps even helping to create it. Forty years later, her message still resonates; no small achievement for someone who was supposedly just talking about sex and the single girl.

I have not read your work but this book caught my eye. I have always wondered about the Witness Protection Program. It would ge so difficult to give up your family, friends and career.I have heard of real cases when the bad guys have gotten close and they have had to move and change your name,etc.
I have not read a book about the Witness Protection Program previosly and I would love to do so. Identity Crisis sounds like a great way to start!
