A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY …
May 14, 2008

“What’s in a name?”  William Shakespeare asked.  In the case of DCI, the one word answer is “plenty!”

Therein lies a double tale:

  • A few years ago DCI was hired by a State with not surprisingly a Governor from one of the two major political parties.  Immediately after he described his decision to the press, he was attacked by the leader of the opposition party for selecting a big Washington lobbying firm closely allied with controversial political leaders which he alleged to be deeply enmeshed in “the culture of corruption”.  You guessed it: they got the wrong DCI! 
  • Now it has happened again—this time in a supposed conflict of interest by a company representing an Asian country allegedly controlled by a repressive military dictatorship.  Again, a different DCI than Development Counsellors International.   

SO LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.  THERE ARE TWO "DCI" AGENCIES.  The first DCI is Development Counsellors International  —   headquartered in New York City, specialized in economic development and tourism marketing.   We are non-partisan and non-political with clients of every color and tint in the political rainbow over the past 48 years. 

The other “DCI” is titled The DCI GROUP.  They are an important political lobbying organization in Washington DC with a strong tilt towards the Republican party and conservative causes.

We’re two different agencies doing different things for different sets of clients.  Now that we’ve got that straight we can move on to other things!

Hello. I wanted to let you know that some parts of your web site are tricky to comprehend for me, as I am color blind. I have tritanopia, however there are other varieties of color blindness which will also experience difficulties. I can read the majority of the website OK, and the areas I have issues with I can read by employing a adapted browser. Just the same, it'd be nice if you could remember we color-blind people whilst undertaking your next web site redesign. Thanks.

Very interesting way to market on facebook. I also found a way to automate several very powerful methods of getting users. You can harvest ID by groups or pages or wall posts with this program. Then once you have them you can do a friend blast to your logon or sudo profile. This by passes the captcha codes too. There is also a cool chat program that you can setup scripts and keyword to work with. This program, when I use it I can see a spike in my site traffic. It is awesome...

A guy apparently opened fire on middle school students with a rifle. The math teacher, David Benke, stopped him and probably saved dozens of childrens' lives at the risk of his own life. This man is a true hero.

You can read the news article here http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_colo_school_shooting - Teacher tackles gunman supected in school shooting http://www.youvoid.info/piczz/k/n.gif

We should all take a moment of silence for this man. Thank you.

The response to national disaster is awesome but it's a damn shame that so many citizens take advantage of the negative situations.

I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill - there's always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers.

This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys "angels" got busted ripping off the system. Shame on them!

I want to get into creating a blog also and I currently have a blog with Word Press, but it is quite difficult for me to build and I would like to attempt to find several good training guides or courses (preferably free) that can assist me in making use of wordpress correctly. As a word press web master yourself, do you perhaps maybe know where i can learn online tutorials to be able to do this myself?? Thank you
