Youth from underserved communities in NYC and DC remain largely uninformed about issues impacting their cities, the nation and the world. Today's workplace requires a wide scope of competencies, from cross-cultural communications to digital literacy. The youth we serve face significant challenges such as poverty, drugs, and teen parenthood, and the schools they attend do not have access to programs that help them develop these vital skills.
To address this challenge, GK offers in-school, afterschool and summer programming that combines a global issues curriculum with service learning. Each student participates in interactive workshops, hands-on leadership opportunities, one-on-one dialogues with policymakers and experts, field trips to colleges to influence academic and career decisions, and lead awareness projects to educate their peers about what they have learned. Through GK, youth are empowered to become engaged global leaders.
Long-term, Global Kids participants graduate from high school, enroll in college, and become leaders in their communities and the world at large. Last year, of over 200 seniors in our program, 99%graduated from high school, more than 30 points higher than the national average. 87% of those graduates attend college. In an alumni survey, 97% agreed that by being involved with GK, they increased their leadership skills, and 95% agreed that they increased their civic and community engagement.

Classic Boiled Polenta
|2 1⁄2 Pint
|2 Teaspoon (scant teaspoons)
|Polenta/Yellow corn meal
|1⁄2 Pound, finely ground
1. In a fairly large, heavy bottomed saucepan bring the water and salt to boil over high heat.
2. Put in the uncooked polenta or corn meal slowly in, making sure that the water keeps boiling, stirring constantly to keep the mixture smooth.
3. Lower the heat and cook the polenta, stirring frequently, for 20 to 30 minutes or until it is so thick that a spoon stands up unsupported in the middle of the pan.
4. This polenta can be served right away with gravy, butter and cheese, or tomato sauce.
Or, it can be taken out on a large buttered baking dish or sheet and with a table or palette knife, spread into a thin layer about 8 by 16 inches in size and refrigerated for about 2 hours.
Once cool you can fry it in oil, grill or even bake it and serve with sauce or as a side dish with meats.

Pleasantville (1998)
Plot Summary
David, nerdy high school student, flees reality by watching Pleasantville - a 1950's b&w sit-com, where everything is just that... pleasant. His sister Jennifer, sexually far more active than her brother, gets in a fight with him about a very strange remote control. The remote was given to them just seconds after the TV broke, by an equally strange repair man. They suddenly find themselves in Pleasantville, as Bud and Mary-Sue Parker, completely assimilated and therefore black and white, in clothes a little different and with new parents... pleasant ones. David wants to get out of the situation as well as his sister, but whereas he tries to blend in (effortlessly, with his knowledge), she does whatever she wants to do. One event leads to the other, and suddenly there is a red rose growing in Pleasantville. The more rules are broken, the more colorful life gets in Pleasantville, USA.- Written by Julian Reischl <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Two 1990s teenage siblings find themselves in a 1950s sitcom where their influence begins to profoundly change that complacent world.- Written by Kenneth Chisholm
David (Tobey Maguire) and Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon) are twins and attend the same high school. Jennifer is concerned mainly with her appearance...See full synopsis » (Warning: contains spoilers!)

According to a report from the Times of London, News Corporation wants its own social network, and will launch one for the Wall Street Journal in the coming months. The network will compete with LinkedIn as a place for "like-minded people" to connect.
A new personal messaging system is also said to be coming from Dow Jones, which will rival those offered by Bloomberg. This is a strategic move, as Bloomberg's reputation took a hit after news broke recently that Bloomberg reporters used the company's terminals to access client information.
The announcements came last night during a meeting with future investors, the Times reports. News Corp is set to split next month, spinning off its entertainment products but holding onto its publishing assets.

Level 3 is designed to encourage experimentation, cross course projects, exploring ideas and making use of appropriate technical methods. All students prepare and present a programme of personal project work that reflects the research and development of ideas. During this year you will undertake a series of assignments designed to develop good professional practice necessary to succeed in your chosen career.
Level 4
- Personal Programme of Research
- National Competitions
- Supporting Study Elective
- Exhibitions in Dundee and London
In the final year - Level 4 - you will organise and present a personal programme of study that will form the major part of your submission for the Honours degree examination. You will be encouraged to integrate all aspects of your research with a written thesis and the production of your final outcomes. You will produce a body of work that will demonstrate a mature visual understanding of materials, methods and processes required to transform ideas into reality.

Placements, live project work and participation in national and international competitions all hone the employability and aspirations of our students. Students have found employment with many major design studios and organisations such as:
- The New York Times
- Bank of Scotland
- The Guardian
- Edinburgh International Fringe Festival
- The Scotsman
- Orange
- The Herald
- Umbro
- TimeOut London
- National Museum of Scotland
Others have gone on to freelance and establishing their own successful businesses. Extra curriculum activities such as the Enterprise Gym help students cultivate entrepreneurial skills.
Ben Bainbridge, Illustration Graduate
"Within Illustration I was able to explore different areas of the specialism I was interested in. This helped me understand my subject a lot more and really benefitted me as a young designer. With regular artist talks and workshops from professionals I was able to see how the industry worked past art school. They were not only informative, but inspiring too."
Emma Goldstraw, Illustration Graduate
"Duncan of Jordanstone has always been something of a "Mecca" for me. Any courses that were on offer, or exhibitions - I was there! The Illustration course allowed me to try various methods and ways of working that I had never done before. The course also allowed me to experience new technology, computer programmes and digital media. The staff in the department are all very supportive and approachable. Most importantly they helped me build my own confidence about my own work. It is an extremely proud feeling to know that I have an excellent degree from one of the top art schools in the country."

Your Application
Students applying for Illustration must successfully complete our 1 year Art and Design (General Foundation) course. In this instance you should apply using the UCAS code WW12.
Alternatively, if you have already completed a recognised foundation course or equivalent elsewhere then apply directly to Illustration.
There is a two stage consideration process for entry to the Illustration course:
Stage One - Digital Portfolio Submission
All applicants will be invited to submit a digital folio in the first instance comprising a maximum of 15 images (jpeg or pdf format) which show a range of project work and a text file listing the images, giving a brief explanation of the project and/or the aim of the art work. Sketchbook pages can be included in the 15 images. Your folio should preferably be submitted as one file and not a list of multiples.
Full details of the digital portfolio submission process will be provided when we send the formal request to submit.
Stage Two – Interview in person or via Skype
Based on the portfolio submission, selected candidates will be invited to attend interview in person to present a comprehensive portfolio or if this is not suitable due to distance/cost, we can arrange an interview via Skype at a mutually suitable time. However where possible we would encourage you to attend interview in person to give you the opportunity to view departmental facilities, meet staff/students and of course experience life on campus.
The interview and portfolio presentation is intended as a means for the academic staff team to assess whether you are likely to benefit from/contribute to the course.
Portfolio Guidelines (for submission at interview)
Ideally your portfolio should give evidence of:
- good basic drawing ability
- visual expression: liveliness and/or sensitivity
- the understanding/appreciation of colour as perceived and a capacity to handle coloured media
- commitment in your work
- sketchbooks
- early school work that has been superseded by later, more mature work need not be submitted; there is no virtue in quantity alone
Applicants are advised to seek the help of their Art & Design Teacher/Tutor in the presentation of an admissions portfolio.
Digital Portfolio Guidelines
Please submit 15 images (and/or movies) that best describe your work. Your selection should provide us with a range of creative problems that demonstrate the way you think in response to design and or animation challenges.
Context and Research
We are interested in seeing a sample of your contextual and background research.
This is often found in your sketchbook work or development sheets. Please scan and layout examples of your research process alongside its associated resolved work.
Creative Process
We would like you to demonstrate your creativity within your portfolio. We are looking to see how you as an individual interpret a brief and produce creative ideas.
Project work could include poster design, editorial layout, packaging, direct mail, promotional and marketing concepts, graphics/time-based outputs and contemporary media e.g. web/apps design. Responses to D&AD, YCN or other student competitions and self-motivated work are all relevant for inclusion.
Note: Please provide a short summary of each brief and a description of your response alongside the visual work.
Media Skills
At this stage in your education we are looking for a broad range of media handling skills e.g. drawing, digital processes (Photoshop, vector graphics, Flash, 3D CGI etc.) digital or traditional collage, digital painting, photography, interactive media, experiments with typography, printmaking, paint, inks, pastels etc.
This would normally be covered by your selected projects or your development work; you can also include more expressive media-centric projects however. For Animation, research into the human body is of particular interest to us – so please be sure to include examples of drawing from life (e.g. life drawing) and or anatomical studies. On location drawings of humans and or animals in motion is also desirable.
Digital Folio Submission Format
jpg, jpeg, gif, tiff, tif, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, pdf, png and bmp file types are allowed and each file size limit of 5Mb.
Movie files can be submitted providing links to YouTube/Vimeo or QuickTime movies.
Early schoolwork that has been superseded by later, more mature work need not be submitted – please select the most up-to date and best quality examples that best represent you.
Digital Portfolio Guidelines
You will be prompted by our Admissions Team to submit your digital portfolio (and answer a few questions in respect of your interest in studying art & design at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design), via the University of Dundee Applicant Portal, thereafter, if required, we may contact you to arrange an interview in person or via Skype.
If you require further information on any aspect of the application consideration process or the undergraduate programme in general, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Excellent resource Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 10th, 2010
This, like all of the other Coin Seminar DVDs, is awesome. You have the best coin workers going in depth with techniques and tricks that you just can't find anywhere else.
This is one of the best of the Coin Seminar DVDs. It features Productions, vanishes, and pentetrations.
Kainoa Harbottle shows off more of his impressive skill. Wombat is a nice production, but impractical for me. I really like Rubensteins stand up coins through table and have already replaced the version I was doing.
This like the other coin seminar dvds is not for beginners but does contain some material that is within the grasp of intermediate coin workers.
very good coin magic Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 5th, 2010
Every year, The NYCS guys have produced a full workshop on coin magic. The study, performance, practice, and general art of coin magic. Everything you can imagine. They get guys like Eric Jones, Bill Citino, Al Schneider etc. Top guys in the industry.
On this DVD, you learn a ton of really cool productions vanishes and penetrations. WHile a lot of this is previously published material, a lot of it isn't. You really get what you pay for.
Some highlights are Michael Rubinstein's mint box trick. It fooled the pants off of me. It's simple. A lot of the ideas in here are simple. ANother is David ROth's coins through table routine with a mini doll house table. Everything can be seen and it's very visual, as well as very basic. Each phase looks the same but you can't get caught. Kainoa Harbottle gives a really good coin vanish that looks jsut like the raven.
Overall, I suggest you buy this. 5/5 :)
Roth at his best. Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 4th, 2010
I've enjoyed all of these DVDs but this one probably has some of Roth's best contributions- his style and elegance when it comes to coin magic is something I envy. I would recommend this DVD just to enjoy watching a master at work.

|Re: ActiveMQ issue across multiple domains
|Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:35:44 GMT
I was able to figure out this issue. I just wanted to share my resolution in case somebody faces similar situation in future. The issue was not related to domain or machine plateform at all. The issue was due to the time difference in the system clocks on the domains where I had my publisher and broker. The clock on the broker machine was ahead of the publisher machine clock. So by the time the topic message was reaching on the broker, it was already expired and my subscriber never picked the messages. It worked perfectly fine where clocks on the machines were in sync. In order to fix the issue, I ensured that machine clocks were in sync. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-issue-across-multiple-domains-tp2525789p2526089.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Type 1 diabetes affects more than one million individuals, mostly children and young adults, in the United States and many more worldwide. It occurs in genetically predisposed individuals as a consequence of immune-mediated destruction of the pancreatic islet insulin-secreting beta cells. The present treatment for Type 1 diabetes, when implemented properly, can delay or prevent the long-term complications of diabetes (i.e., blindness, renal failure, and amputation). However, proper diabetes treatment is quite difficult to do, expensive, and very invasive to the diabetic patient's lifestyle. Diabetes is also a major factor in health care costs. Is it possible to prevent Type 1 diabetes or to preserve insulin secretion once diabetes has develped? Several immune interventions have been tried in genetically susceptible individuals without success. Other trials have been attempted to intervene early in the course of Type 1 diabetes, in order to preserve beta cell function. These immune interventions using drugs with potential toxicity have failed. Thus, the identification of agents which either prevent the disease or slow its progression would result in major health care cost savings and reduce complications related to diabetes in addition to the huge individual savings in terms of not having the disease. Our long-term goal is to prevent the development of Type 1 diabetes through the use of innovative based therapies designed to prevent the development of the disease in genetically predisposed individuals. The objectives of this application, in pursuit of that goal and in response to the RFA, is completion of the TrialNet protocols and to continue to develop and test innovative interventions to prevent or slow the progression of Type 1 diabetes. One such innovative approach to slow the progression of Type 1 diabetes is our proposed protocol, "Pioglitazone Preserves Insulin Secretion in Type 1 Diabetes." The proposed work is innovative because it utilitizes a drug that is in wide spread use with low toxicity yet has immunomodulation and anti- inflamatory properties. We have also designed a series of mechanistic studies to examine whether the anti-inflammatory properties of the drug operate by influencing regulatory T-cells.
The significance of this research is that the prevention of type 1 diabetes will save millions of dollars and enormous human suffering. The identification of agents which either prevent the disease or slow its progression would result in major health care cost savings and reduce complications related to diabetes in addition to the huge individual savings in terms of not having the disease.

It's only temporary.
The crowd was largely relieved Wednesday night as Mayor Bob Filner shared his non-permanent plan to clear cars from Balboa Park's central mesa.
The mayor wants to strip the signs and parking lines from the Plaza de Panama and return it to pedestrians. That will require relocating handicap parking spots to the lot behind the Alcazar Garden and valet behind The Prado restaurant. Filner also proposes closing the Cabrillo Bridge on weekends and holidays, though he'd allow two-way traffic on weekdays.

His Royal Highness, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II has called on Muslim leadership to decide an appropriate age for marriage.
Sanusi's latest call comes on the heels of Emir of Katsina's marrying off an under-aged Christian to a Muslim man.
According to Sanusi, "Women who are suffering from reproductive health challenges were products of such marriages.
"Time had come when the Muslim community should live by the reality of economic recession and consequences of early marriage.
Read Also: Nigeria does not need Niger Delta — Emir Sanusi Lamido
"The era when people gave out their daughters in marriage at early ages and asked the husbands to wait till they were ripe was nothing but a deception.
"In the past the rich and the poor married four wives and bore between 30 and 40 children.
"This was because the economy was buoyant and people were not relying on government for sustenance.
"Though the harsh economic realities now make it impossible for people to feed twice a day these days.
"Unfortunately our people do not change and somebody with virtually nothing still give birth to 20 or 30 children.
"This nonsense must stop.
"There was a need to peg the marriage age now because of the challenges early marriage was posing.
"The marriage age in Egypt at present is 18 while that of Malaysia and Morocco were 19 and 17 respectively
"Why not we here urgently call for pegging of marriage ages within Muslim Ummah in Nigeria?
Read Also: I now love Jesus Christ of Nazareth — Emir Sanusi
"Nigerian Muslims also practice the Malikiyas School of thought as these countries.
"We should follow suit and peg our own marriage ages for our own good.
"I urge the relevant authorities to create a law that would punish anybody that gave birth to children and allowed them to suffer.
"Most of those neglected children not only turned victims of social vices but also engage in terrorism," Sanusi said.

Video: Michelle on Harry Reid's nutty ObamaCare bill
posted at 10:32 pm on October 28, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via Right Scoop, here's the boss wondering whether Dingy Harry has cocked things up so badly in the Senate that he has no choice now but to try to ram through the public option via reconciliation. Two reasons to think that he won't: (1) After having been rolled by Joe Liebs, there's good cause to think he simply isn't smart enough to pull off a gambit as complicated as reconciliation, and (2) if the GOP cleans up in next week's state races, the Democrats are going to freak out about trying something as partisan and unilateral as that. Evan Bayh's already suggesting that he's prepared to filibuster a vote that would merely bring Reid's bill to the floor for a debate, which is a step further than even Lieberman went. If you're eager to foster that fear, humiliate Reid, and send Obama back to the drawing board, send Chris Christie a check tonight. It's the surest way to get the left to wet its pants.

Proofreaders are commonly mistaken for copyeditors. Instead of checking for grammatical errors, proofreaders check for inconsistencies in things like page numbers, pictures and captions, typeface, and more. A decent level of education is required for proofreading, and prior experience is beneficial for those seeking work. Because of the need for high quality content, proofreaders often work in news facilities and as editors for web content.
Proofreaders need a minimum of a bachelor's degree, usually in creative or professional writing although a standard English degree will also work. Proofreaders receive little on the job training--just enough to know the standards of the company they work for. Proofreaders must have an eye for detail and be able to pick out small issues that may have been missed by previous editors. In addition, proofreaders must be skilled in communicating with coworkers in order to understand and explain mistakes and how to correct them. They must also have strong reading comprehension skills in order to understand the material presented to them.
The job market for Proofreaders is actually expected to drop by 1% by 2022. However, that's not to say the market is hopeless; with the advent of self-publishing, many independent authors are hiring freelance proofreaders in order to ensure the quality of their books. Proofreaders are typically employed in publishing houses and production companies across the country.
Proofreaders can make between $16 and $17 an hour on average, with more experienced proofreaders earning upwards of $44,000 per year. The salary is largely dependent on the employing company; a small publishing house would not pay as much as the Paris Review for example. Freelance Proofreaders can charge higher rates and often make more money than those employed in corporate positions.

"I want to be killed by Victor!"
I.M.H.O. this is by far the BEST action/thriller series out there! I'm sure you guys have read the summary so I won't get into describing the plot. I will tell you that the writer(Tom Hinshlewood) is extremely under-rated and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with all the other "household names" in the A/T genre. I will say that this is a very well written action-packed book 2 in the not-to-well-known "Victor The Assassin" series. Some reviewers have mentioned that they wanted more "character growth" from the protagonist and I respect their opinions however I feel as a character "Victor's" developing quite nicely so far and he definitely has more personality in this installment than he did in book 1. He's an assassin after all, how much character is the guy suppose to have? Some of you might strongly disagree with me on this but I think this series is even BETTER than the "Gray Man" series. There's definitely no "sophomore slump" here! I cannot recommend this series enough. Check it out!
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"New Victor the Assassin book on 8-2-2016"
A Time to Die, Victor the Assassin Book 6, is scheduled for release on August 2, 2016. I'm confident that the audiobook will be released on the same day. The audiobook is not available to preorder at Audible yet.
This is part of my attempt to review some espionage thrillers that I listened to prior to writing reviews at Audible. Like Ben Coes and Mark Greaney, British author Tom Wood began publishing espionage novels in 2010, but I do not consider Tom Wood to be in the same class as Coes, Greaney, or even Brad Taylor who published his first espionage thriller very early in 2011. The reasons include the fact that Victor the Assassin novels are not as well researched for geographic authenticity. More importantly Victor has not developed; he remains a cold blooded killer without a hint of humanity or remorse. I explain more completely in my 10/16/2015 two star review of Wood's The Darkest Day.
The Enemy is Book 2 of the Victor series. I believe it is the best of the first five books in the series and it is a solid 5 star listen. Rob Shapiro narrates the Victor series wonderfully well.
I'm currently on my fourth listen in the last year or so.
Victor is the only answer to this question.
Rob Shapiro is very dry and calculated, and I mean that in a good way. He is the perfect voice to portray the slightly bleak world view that exists in this book.
I certainly could listen to the entirety of this book in one long car ride if I ever found myself in that situation.
I have listened to a hundred books in this genre over the past few years and simply put, this is a shining example of what a modern thriller should be. The whole series is fantastic, but this book in particular is flawless. Believable plot and characters without sacrificing drama, this book manages to be epic in scale and local at the same time. Bravo.
"Not as Fond of Book 2"
I enjoyed the first book of this series so much that I bought book 2 and book 3. I wasn't as enamored of book 2. It was action packed, the story line was just a bit off and Victor wasn't acting as much like the Victor of book 1. And spoiler alert…book 3 put me off the series.
No wasted credit here, just not what I had hoped for given the strength of book 1.
Missouri Veteran
"Victor is Even Better in Book 2"
If you liked The Killer, you'll love the Enemy. It's a tight tale, with lots of twists and turns, and with some really excellent plotting. Set in Europe, it provides descriptions and settings in places that I can only hope of getting to someday. I have really enjoyed the series, and the highest compliment I can pay a writer is "WHERE IS BOOK 3?" And that's what I want to know: when will I get to read the next of Tom Wood's Victor stories.
"Victor the Assassin - WOW!"
Yes. Super story, moves right along. There are no dull moments, lots of high tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Never listened to Rob Shapiro before "The Killer", the first in this series. He reminds me alot of Scott Brick. His performance was excellent.
I've listened to two in a row and my next will be the third. I sure hope Tom Wood will write another one soon. Victor is an assassin with morals, he's smart and cunning and even if some scenes are a little far reaching this is fiction and thoroughly enjoyable. If you like Court Gentry, Jake Pendleton or Dewey Andreas then this book is the perfect addition to your collection.
"Love this series!"
The author's attention to detail is the most enjoyable aspect of this series. The assassin doesn't just pick up a gun and shoot. We learn the type of gun, type of ammo, characteristics of both and the reasons for using both. If you're not into that level of detail, this book isn't for you. I also love the details of the counterespionage Victor uses at all times.
The narrator was flawless given the multiple accents required although Victor sounded a little flip at times which goes against my perception of a lethal assassin.
"Love the Characters"
Mr. Wood does such a great job of writing his characters that you are suck into the story. I like that he seemed to give a conscious and a soul to his handler at the CIA, something few authors do. He also does a nice job of moving the story along with lots of action but it doesn't feel like it is forced or contrived but flows naturally. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next but also didn't want the book to end. Mr. Shapiro does a great job with voices, inflection and speed.
History, historical fiction and mysteries are my faves, but a fan of all genres.
"Think I found a Winner of a series....."
Set in Bucharest to start, luv the settings used in these stories. Can't wait to wade into the rest of this series.
"Bad Book in a Good Series"
I've enjoyed several of the Victor the Assassin series, but this was just plain bad writing. The author's idea of suspense consists mainly of having Victor keep dropping his gun. Moreover, the author had initiated several storyline threads in this over-long tale but mostly didn't wind them up. In the end, the author drifted off into the sunset while the Israeli killers went off to lick their wounds. Disappointing and Boring.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. – James Franklin started out everywhere else but quarterback. Unable to be a ballcarrier in fifth grade due to weight restrictions in the youth league he played in (he weighed 185 pounds), he started out as a lineman.
For two years before he moved to Texas, he played offensive tackle, center and defensive end. Then he was a running back, linebacker, kicker, punter and began high school as a wide receiver until his junior year, when he finally moved to quarterback.
So his eventual path to college at Missouri and then the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Detroit Lions began as a big kid blocking for the position he would eventually play.
"I liked to eat," Franklin said.
It was that circuitous route that actually helped make him an effective quarterback for the Tigers, including an appearance in the SEC title game this season. At first, he was more comfortable running the ball instead of throwing it so he became a dual-threat quarterback under Gary Pinkel with the Tigers even though he preferred to throw instead of run.
He completed 62.1 percent of his passes in college for 6,962 yards, 51 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. He also ran the ball 450 times for 1,729 yards and 21 touchdowns. So in some ways, he is not as polished as some of the other quarterbacks Detroit could have signed, guys who have played there their entire lives.
And it could be why Franklin is still working on his decisions, completion percentage and now, in his first week in the NFL, picking up a playbook with longer play names and some more intricacies. It is why he beat himself up over not always knowing the play and sometimes having to ask the coaches to repeat it for him so he could learn.
That's somewhat expected, though, from a player who wasn't drafted and has been here about a week.
"It's taken me a while to pick up on those things," Franklin said. "That was probably the thing I didn't do the most and then, after I call the play, repeat it and what I'd just say. I'd just take too much time thinking about it instead of just going out there and playing."
Franklin, though, is a bit different than the other quarterbacks Detroit has on its roster at this point. Even though he would prefer to be a pocket passer, he has mobility that Matthew Stafford, Dan Orlovsky and Kellen Moore do not possess. And while he is not supplanting Stafford and likely not getting past Orlovsky, either, he does offer a different dynamic.
Jonathan Jennings, a quarterback from Saginaw Valley State that was brought in as a tryout player, is closer to Franklin than Stafford as well in terms of abilities.
Not that Detroit is looking for that, specifically.
"We're not necessarily looking for a different mold," Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said. "I mean, these two guys are guys that have been in a little bit more wide open kind of a scheme. Their legs are an important part of what they do, but I think you see that all across the board in our league now.
"You have to be able to make plays a number of different ways. Some guys make them in the pocket, some guys outside of the pocket. These two guys haven't spent a whole lot of time underneath center. They've been shotgun more or less than anything else so they're learning that part of it."
They are learning a lot.
Franklin, though, chose to learn in Detroit. He said the Lions were the only team he spoke with and he signed fairly quickly after the draft. The adjustment is going on for all the rookies, but at quarterback -- where everything is more focused anyway -- Franklin is someone who is trying to pick up the most.
"Someone who expects more of himself than others may expect of him," rookie receiver TJ Jones said. "When he makes a mistake, you can see he beats himself up more for it than the coaches might.
"Someone who wants to be great, who is going to make the receivers and the running backs around him and the offense around him great."
He just has to reach that level himself first.
