Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr plans to announce Friday that he will disarm his Mahdi Army, which was raining mortars on Baghdad’s Green Zone as recently as April. Coupled with the near-total defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq, this means the U.S. no longer faces any significant organized military foe in the country. It also marks a major setback for Iran, which had used the Mahdi Army as one of its primary vehicles for extending its influence in Iraq.

Harry Reid : April 2008 The war in Iraq is lost and a US troop surge is failing to bring peace to the country, the leader of the Democratic majority in the US Congress, Harry Reid, said Thursday.

I believe … that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week, Reid told journalists.

Barak Obama:
We’re not going to baby sit a civil war.

His Web page is now updated
• An updated Obama quote at the top of the page. The previous quote stressed how Obama had the judgment to oppose the rash war from the start. This was a popular message among Democratic voters and was meant to draw distinctions with primary rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, who initially supported the war. The new quote focuses on how ending the war will make Americans safer — a message aimed at general election voters who are more likely to trust McCain on issues of national security, according to polling

But his webpage still has this posted:

Only one of his plan’s subheads remains unchanged, the first one — Judgment You Can Trust. That’s a message the campaign wants Americans to embrace.

I would really appreciate an insiders point of view regarding Boone and any cities near Boone in Western NC. The features that are most important to me are people and atmosphere (I understand it’s smaller towns but I don’t want to feel like I’m in the middle of nowhere), jobs (I have a degree in PR and tend to work in the customer service industry), snow and temperature (what can I say I love snow and cold weather!) and any general information you could provide me about the areas besides all the general stuff that seems to run together online. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me make this big decision!

I am looking to do better marketing and to hopefully get on the shelves of major book stores and a permanent book for Children Maternity stores. It is currently a print on demand book. Publisher is Authorhouse.com. I really needs the insights on how to do better marketing or obtaining a great PR. Does anyone know of PR’s that are trying to get their feet wet and looking for an opportunity. I am hungry for getting my book national recognition and any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I am trying to find a summer internship pretty much anywhere legitimate (meaning not some fly by night operation). I am studying Business and Management Information Systems at a highly recognized school for that field, however, I do NOT want to work with the computer side, more the business side. I want to know where to look for them online? I prefer areas such as human resources, event planning, PR, marketing, etc. I have tried monster.com and usually find crap. Any suggestions?

‘Marketing Mix’

My new company will be up and running shortly (3 to 5 weeks). We are leasing slightly smaller space than we need, cutting back on computer needs, saving saving saving where we can…in hopes that by spending that money on PR and marketing that we can start off with a bang.
Who has good recommendations for PR firms for small biz? What about marketing and advertising? I don’t want to end up with too big a firm because I think I will not be considered a serious account….and I worry that a small firm might not have the expertise I need. Any thoughts???

I need some advice. I have always wanted to be in the creative field but it seems I have gotten myself into an inadvertant jam. I began college as a double major in interior design and business with visions of being a business savvy designer, but no one told me how pretty much impossible trying to do both of those AND play college volleyball AND try to work…so something had to give and it had to be interiors due to time and being a poor college student who couldn’t hardly afford supplies.

I graduated with my marketing/biz degree and worked my way up to a pretty good gig in business/sales. Being that I am a 20something who deals with consulting area top CEOs all day and works with every part of the company is nothing to scoff at…and it’s definitely getting me steps in the right direction, but frankly we are worked to the bone and I am grossly underpaid for what I do…I know everyone says that but if you saw the work we do and what our paychecks look like, you’d say the same thing. I figure, now’s the time to get out and do it.

I want my true love of the swanky eclectic design agency employee. Now, I have 2 years of college art/design under my belt, and I know that I can’t realisticlly apply for the true design positions (although I am shooting myself in the foot for at least not doing graphics!!!) but how can I get into these design positions and have them look at my creativity + business knowledge (which as I’ve talked people, most don’t have both) and look past the fact I haven’t had true agency experience? I do marketing of all different sorts, PR, branding, you name it…but my title doesn’t say anything like marketing manager etc.

BTW I am heading back for my master’s…would love to get a small associates in graphics and maybe this is the way I need to go before I really have a chance at it. Any help and advice would work. Thanks!
