Well, seeing that you're already using absolute positioning, and your 
header will be a fixed height, just shift the top co-ordinates of the 
flanking columns downwards.

You could even get the header to appear after the columns - use 
margin-top to shift the central column down and then absolutely 
position the header.

Alternatively, wrap the columns in a containing div and set its 
position to relative so that the absolute positioning works, er, 
relative to the containing div. Then your header will simply nudge 
the containing div (and therefore the columns) down as much as it 
needs and so can cope with headers that aren't necessarily of a fixed 
height.
