Advertisements for Themselves
Take a gander at the pathetic ad campaigns magazines and newspapers are running to promote their industries.
The newspaper industry is likely to hit a 25-year low in advertising sales this year. * If so, it will end up billing about half of what it billed in its record year of 2005.
But the newspaper industry aims to win back those advertisers, of course. Its trade association, the Newspaper Association of America, placed a full-page ad in the business section of today's New York Times that features a testimonial to the power of newspapers by Rishad Tobaccowala, the chief strategy and innovation officer at Vivaki, which is part of the Publicis Groupe advertising firm.
The ad isn't really designed for you or me but for advertisers, intended to excite them about buying ads in newspapers. But if you were an advertiser, would you be persuaded by Tobaccowala's rambling testimonial, drawn from an Adweekpiece he wrote earlier this month? Tobaccowala couldn't be fuzzier about the usefulness of newspapers if he tried.
The ad, which also features a portrait of Tobaccowala, the NAA slogan "Newspaper: The Multi-Medium," and a pointer to the NAA's promotional Web site Newspapermedia.com, is so bad I can imagine advertisers interpreting it as the newspaper industry's no-confidence vote in itself. * Nobody would blame advertisers if they looked at the NAA ad and used it as an excuse to pull their buys from the Times and other papers.
But, wait—there is more incompetence from the NAA! The home page for Newspapermedia.com is supposed to play a promotional video for its "Newspaper: The Multi-Medium" campaign. But the video failed to load on all but a handful of computers in our New York and Washington offices, no matter which browser—IE 7, Firefox, or Chrome—was running. What part of multimedia doesn't the NAA understand?
The newspaper industry isn't the only old media running ads touting itself. Back in April, the Magazine Publishers of America started its "Magazines, the Power of Print" campaign, and various magazines donated $90 million in ad space to it. The MPA, echoing the hopes of the NAA, designed its pitch to convince the advertising industry that magazines remain relevant in the digital age because 1) readers still delight in print and 2) magazines have a digital component, too!
As one who subscribes to four daily newspapers and plows through 30 or more magazines a month, I should be a soft target for the newspaper and magazine industries' messages. Instead of criticizing the campaigns, I should be ripping these ads out of my publications, taping them to lengths of dowel rod, and running them up and down the street like battle flags. Instead, these ads sadden me. Their insufferable pleading and self-promotion make me think of the old guy in the office who can't stop telling his younger co-workers—and his younger boss—that he's still a player and that he could prove it if only they'd just give him a chance. Just one more chance.
If anybody understands how to make a print advertisement that really, really works, it should be newspaper and magazine people. But these two campaigns are so bumbling, so unpersuasive, so dull, that you've got to wonder whether any advertising intelligence went into making them. Maybe the goal was to sell the newspaper and magazine businesses as outposts of the desperate and pitiful worthy of advertiser charity. If so, Clios all around.
For clear-eyed analysis of the print industry, please consult Alan D. Mutter's blog, Reflections of a Newsosaur. I dare the NAA to put him in a promotional ad. Feeling desperate, pleading, and pathetic? Please don't send mail to email@example.com or follow my Twitter feed.

Correction, Sept. 29, 2010: The original version of this article mistakenly referred to a "25 percent low" in advertising sales. It should have read a "25-year low." ( Return to the corrected sentence.) It also gave the incorrect name for the NAA advertising campaign. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

Plus Size Underwire Bras
Bits of Lace plus size underwire bras offer elegant and beautiful support. Enjoy these sexy selections from your favorite brands and feel a fit and comfort unlike anything you've ever experienced. Our plus size wired bras are available in both molded and contour cups; some basic, some with sexy embellishments. Whatever you choose, rest assured that you will look flawless and fabulous.
Underwire bras have a built in wire into the underside of the cup of the bra, which is intended to life, separate, shape and provide additional support. The bras are most useful to women with a fuller bust in order to minimize discomfort and maximize lift, but any woman can benefit from the support an underwire can bring. Our plus size underwire bras come in all shapes and sizes and have been in widespread in use since the twentieth century. They are a staple of any woman's bra collection and easily available.
The wire of the underwire bra is usually made of metal or plastic. It is sewn into the bra fabric and under each cup from the center to the armpit. Many types of bras utilize this underwire to support the breasts such as demi bras, full cup bras, plunge bras, nursing bras, and even bodysuits. These types are all different but all use the underwire in the same manner. Its solid construction and versatility adds comfort and support to any style. These bras are among highest growing segment of the bra market as of 2005 and are even used in swimsuits as well. These bras have been known to cause health problems and pain if not worn correctly. Most women don't even know they are wearing a bra incorrectly, for this please refer to our fitting guide on the front page.
These bras are the go to bras for most women. Be it a night out on the town or a romantic date they will always support and shape to impress. Take care to hand-wash your underwire bra or machine wash only on a "delicate" cycle. This is to prevent the underwire from separating from the bra and ripping through the fabric. Because these bras are so widespread in use they face increased scrutiny. The concept of an underwire bra is not a new one, and can be traced all the way back to an 1893 patent that used a device that placed a rigid plate under the breasts for stability. All the way from maximizing cleavage presentation to reducing it or even having it already build into your clothing, the underwire is an essential part of any woman's wardrobe and cannot be forgotten. Always improving and changing with the styles or seasons, underwire bras will always be the mainstay of women across the globe.

EMT wrestles, disarms man who shot cop
The EMT, Brendan Hernandez, who said he has aspirations of one day joining the NYPD, was hailed as a hero
NEW YORK — An emotionally disturbed man being transferred from an ambulance to the emergency room at Harlem Hospital shot an NYPD officer once in the foot before being wrestled to the ground by an FDNY EMT on Monday, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
The suspect, identified as Guiteau Idore, 42, of Queens Village, had attempted earlier to grab the service weapon from the officer and was thwarted, but was successful in a second attempt — managing to fire two shots, Kelly said.
The wounded officer, identified as Fausto Gomez, 40, of the 25th Precinct, was treated at Harlem Hospital and later released. Another officer, John Chiodi, 42, also of the 25th Precinct, was not wounded.
The EMT, Brendan Hernandez, who said he has aspirations of one day joining the NYPD, was hailed as a hero.
"He has what it takes to do the job," Kelly said at a news conference with Mayor Michael Bloomberg early Monday at Harlem Hospital, adding that he would check the police applicant waiting list for a possible opening for Hernandez.
"We are lucky that this was not more serious," Bloomberg said of the shooting. Kelly called the circumstances "a very unusual situation."
The commissioner said the officers had picked up Idore on 117th Street at 4:55 a.m. after spotting him throwing bottles and assaulting someone on the street. Idore was placed into an ambulance and, Kelly said, Chiodi rode with him to the hospital while Gomez followed in his police cruiser.
Though handcuffed, Kelly said Idore attempted to snatch Gomez' gun while being moved from the ambulance to the hospital, but was subdued. However, he grabbed for the gun a second time moments later -- and this time managed to get it.
Kelly said Idore fired two shots, one striking Gomez in the foot, before the trio -- Gomez, Chiodi and Idore -- fell to the ground and Hernandez, the EMT, wrestled the handgun away from Idore.
Idore was charged with assault and menacing and was transferred to Metropolitan Hospital Center in East Harlem for evaluation.
Kelly said Idore has a history of domestic assault.

Bone Cancer
Bone cancer is a rare disease in which cancer cells grow in the bone tissue.
Cancer may form in the bone or spread to the bone from another site in the body. When cancer starts in bone tissue, it is called primary bone cancer. When cancer cells travel to the bone from another site in the body, it is called secondary or metastatic bone cancer. Types of bone cancer include:
- Osteosarcoma—a cancerous tumor of the bone, usually of the arms, legs, or pelvis
- Chondrosarcoma—cancer of the cartilage
- Ewing sarcoma—tumors that usually develop in the cavity of the leg and arm bones
- Fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma—cancers that develop in soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, fat, and muscle, and move to the bones of the legs, arms, and jaw
- Giant cell tumor—a primary bone tumor that is malignant; most common in the arm or leg bones
- Chordoma—primary bone tumor that usually occurs in the skull or spine
Cancer occurs when cells in the body, in this case bone cells, divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated method. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not invade or spread.
The cause of primary bone cancer is unknown. Genetics play a major role in most cases. Conditions that cause increased bone breakdown and regrowth over an extended period increase the risk of tumor development. This explains why osteosarcoma in children is most common during the adolescent growth spurt.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of bone cancer include:
- Paget's disease —a noncancerous bone condition
- Exposure to radiation
- Family history of bone cancer
Certain types of bone cancer have specific risk factors:
Osteosarcoma, which is more common in males who are 10-30 years old:
- Inherited cancer syndromes, including Li-Fraumani and Rothmund-Thompson syndromes
- Retinoblastoma—a rare eye cancer
- Bone marrow transplantation
Chondrosarcoma, which is more common in people older than 20 years of age:
- Multiple exostoses—an inherited condition that results in bumps on bones
- Ewing sarcoma, which is more common in people younger than 30 years of age
Fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma:
- Increased age
- Giant cell tumor, which is more common in those who are young or middle-aged
Symptoms of bone cancer vary, depending on the location and size of the tumor.
Symptoms may include:
- Pain at the tumor location
- Swelling or a lump at the location of the tumor
- Deep bone pain that is severe enough to wake you up
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue
- Trouble breathing
- Fever or night sweats
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Biopsy
Images may be needed of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
After cancer is found, staging tests are done to find out if the cancer has spread and, if so, to what extent. Treatment depends on the type, stage, and location of the cancer. It also depends on your overall health. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy for bone cancer uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may be:
- External—radiation directed at the tumor from a source outside the body
- Internal—radioactive materials placed into the body near the cancer cells
|Radiation of Tumor
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be given in many forms, including: pill, injection, and through a tube called a catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body, killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells.
Surgery for bone cancer involves the removal of a cancerous tumor, nearby tissues, and possible nearby lymph nodes. Surgery may require amputation of the limb with cancer. Whenever possible, doctors try to remove the cancerous part of the bone without amputating. In this case, metal plates or a bone graft replaces the cancerous tissue that has been removed.
Sometimes, adding radiation therapy or chemotherapy can help avoid the need for amputation. If the tumor is large or aggressive, or the risk of it spreading is high, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be added to help prevent it from returning. This is also done to prevent it from spreading to distant organs.
Myeloablative Therapy with Stem Cell Support
For cancer that has spread, intense chemotherapy is sometimes given to kill cancer cells. This therapy also destroys the bone marrow. Stem cells, which have the ability to develop into other types of cells, are then given to replace the lost bone marrow.
Special Treatment Considerations for Certain Cancer Types
Certain cancer types require specific treatments:
- Osteosarcoma—Chemotherapy given before and after surgery will often cure osteosarcoma and can allow for limb-sparing surgery in people who might have otherwise required amputation.
- Ewing sarcoma—Since Ewing sarcoma is responsive to chemotherapy, its treatment often involves several weeks of chemotherapy followed by surgical removal or radiation therapy, then several more months of chemotherapy.
- Fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma—These conditions are usually treated with surgery to remove the cancerous tumor and a one-inch margin of healthy tissue surrounding it.
There are no current guidelines to prevent primary bone cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment improve your chance of successful treatment.

Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com) and GFI (www.gfi.su) are pleased to announce the release of a major first update for the turn-based tactical hit, Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge. The comprehensive update brings the game to version 1.07.001 and provides many gameplay tweaks and a fix to prevent the "vanishing squad" icon bug appearing in new games started with this updated version.
Specifically, camera restrictions were substantially reduced to provide much more zoom and pan freedom in tactical mode, the AI now throws grenades less frequently and less accurately, weapons and mercenaries are now more lethal overall, weapons and armor appear more frequently at the weapons store, and other tweaks to make the game easier and more balanced on the "Newbie" and "Mercenary" difficulties.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said "Players who found the game too difficult or unbalanced at the Mercenary or Easy levels should definitely download this update. The game has been improved substantially in many areas and the overall Hired Guns experience is now much more enjoyable!"
Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge is a turn-based strategy game that puts you command of a squad of specialists for hire in the genre's biggest game-world yet: the African country Diamond Coast. Diamond Coast is a playground for the cruel and corrupt, each with their own agenda. Choose your friends wisely and buy an army of ruthless mercenaries to unleash mayhem on your foes. Choose "jobs" from different factions and complete them for cash to upgrade your weapons and hire more elite soldiers of fortune.
Tons of firepower and plenty of combat experience will give your team the edge when it comes to fighting, but smooth talk and a wad of bills can also go a long way towards ensuring success. With multiple story lines and endings, you're in total control of your own fate.
The update is comprehensive and will bring all versions of the game up to version 1.07.001. Get more information on Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge from its official product page.
Matrix Games produces, markets and publishes historical wargames as well as other computer gaming products. Since 2000, Matrix Games has published over three dozen titles and several award-winning games, including War in the Pacific, Conquest of the Aegean, Gary Grigsby's World At War: A World Divided, Crown of Glory, Battles In Normandy, Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare, Starshatter: The Gathering Storm and The Operational Art of War III. Matrix Games is based in Staten Island, New York. For more information, visit the Matrix Games website at www.matrixgames.com.

Very easy, reward shows up right after purchase been post, do not even have to wait for statement! you can apply rewards towards balance any time with no min amount required!, this and no foex fee make me still keep my 11 year old cap1 card without AF of course.
+1 - it is very easy.... when they say "no hassle rewards" they really do mean it. It's easy as jumping online, a couple clicks later.... you can have it credited towards your balance.
I opened a Cap 1 rewards platinum credit card and I have to say its not as bad as I thought it would be. I have no interest on purchases until February 2013 and already have gotten $38 worth of rewards. My limit is 2000 which so not that bad for me. You get an email telling you you have rewards. I go to the website and just apply them to my ballance, But after march my interest rate will rise to 21.99% A little high so I wont use it at all. Better than when I had credit 1 card.
I've had one for a couple of years, and have had no real "problem" with it, beyind the stingy CL which they are notorious for not increasing. But as others have said, the cashback is easy to deal with... I have mine set up to automatically appear as a credit on my statement whenever it hits $25, so I don't even have to bother with redeeming them. But ultimately, their tiny credit limits drove me to other cards, which also happened to have better (higher) rewards.
I really don't understand them. They are known for taking on some "riskier" customers with little or poor credit. Nothing wrong with that, because there is potential in customers that want to build or re-build credit. But it seems like they take the risk, but don't allow themselves to reap the benefits, because they drive off the ones that ended up being a good investement through their unwillingness to grow with their good customers.
My credit scores are in the 650-680 range.
I opened up a Capital One Platinum MC about 16 months ago. Started with a CL of $200 and after 6 months increased it to $500. I've asked for CL increases two times and was denied both times.
I then opened the Green Cash Rewards MC also with Capital One and got a CL of $500 right off the bat. This was just 8 months ago. I asked for a CL increase 2 months ago and was denied. Yesterday I checked my account and they increased my CL all on their own without any type of credit check up to $3,500. I was very surprised. But then again, I was using it quite a bit and making multiple payments a month.
I love Cap 1. I have the No Hassles Cash Rewards card which they don't offer anymore. I like the 2% on both gas and groceries and use it when my other cards rotate out of these categories. You can claim the rewards whenever you want, and there's also no fees to use it out of the country.
I have the No Hassle Rewards which is no longer offered and my dad has Cash Rewards. The rewards by far is really no hassle and easy. I have a $25 Best Buy gift card coming. This is a 3rd one pretty much this year and now I have about $11 in rewards and will probabl get my 4th $25 Best Buy gift card sometime after I come back from my vacation beginning on October. That will roughly be about $100 bucks in rewards from this card and then I have BBRZMC which I pretty much put everything through and have another $125 in certificates there. For capital one I found that if I order the gift card to be shipped..even though it says 2-3 weeks to get it..usually within 48-72 hours it's shipped and I get it within probably 5 days or so after that. Not bad.
Capital On while having low limits has been good to me despite the fact that I screwed them on 2 cards in 2007. Yeah the CL is low..$500 each on BBRZMC and Ho Hassle, however I pay several times a month so no biggie, just inconvenience. Customer Service has been great. Yes - the answers to questions seems robotic and reading from script, however never had a problem with them.
When all my baddies fall off in 2 years or so I will probably apply for a better card with them. They might give low limits and things like that, but they don't black list and give you credit when everyone wont except for First Premier with their crazy APR and fees. Overall CapitalOne has a great model. Be there for sub prime members and capture the market that everyone ignores with exception of companies like FP who gouge people. A better alternative
My only wish is that they increase limits on cards as your history grows with them, but then again would you want to have a $3k limit on card with $39 or $59 annual fee. If your credit improves then apply for a CAPONE that has a better card, limit and no AF fee. Capone has same cards in Excellent credit category as they do with Average Credit Category with no AF fee. I seen a Cash Card with 30k credit line.
The transition from Average Credit Cash Card with Low Limit and $39 Annual Fee to better limits and Excellent Credit Cash Card could be better..that is their only opportunity as far as I can see
I really like my Cash (green) Rewards Card!
Their customer service has also been good.
Their online rewards mall is pretty nice too. Not that many in-store offers there (which you do have to activate), but there is a TON of retailers with cash back up to 15% (although the 15% options are few and far between)

You've just waged an advocacy campaign. Maybe you feel it was successful, maybe it didn't yield the results you had hoped for. Whatever the outcome, your job is not finished yet.
Again? Yes, communication is important at every stage of this process. Library users and others in the community need to know the final outcome of your budget reductions and understand how those reductions will impact them. Use the same methods of communication you used to get your advocacy message out, but this time use those methods to convey the outcome. Be sure people know if the library's hours or services are changing.
Say "Thank You"
Whether the decision makers have left you smiling or frowning, you have many people to thank.
- Your staff. They should be your first priority. Your staff will have weathered a period of anxiety, possibly a long one, and might have had to accept a wage freeze, fewer paid hours or even been through the stress of layoffs. Let them know you appreciate them.
- Your Budget Response Team and other leaders. These individuals took the journey with you, and they gave generously of their time, energy, ideas, networks, and maybe even their financial resources.
- Your colleagues. Your library is part of a menu of community services, and the leadership in other departments is part of the same team you're on. If your outcome is a good one, be sure they know how much you appreciate their cooperation and help.
- If your outcome brings you disappointment or resentment, put it aside for the sake of your staff and the integrity of your library.
- Your community. When any community faces cuts in essential services, it's hard on everyone. They should be thanked for their support, patience and their continued patronage of your library and its services.
Develop an Ongoing Plan for Advocacy
Whether you've accepted your library's budget cuts or challenged them, whether your outcome feels successful or disappointing, one fact remains: Your library needs an ongoing plan for advocacy. Don't wait for a crisis to actively advocate for your library's services! Advocacy should be a year-round effort that everyone on your staff participates in. Practice it every day and you'll find that, when a crisis arises, advocacy comes easily and naturally.
- Everyone on your staff is a potential "frontline" advocate because they represent the library to many individuals, library users and nonusers alike. Help your staff think about and become comfortable with daily advocacy interactions. Check out ALA's Frontline Advocacy Toolkits for practical, easy-to- adopt ideas for making frontline advocacy part of your library's way of doing business. More ALA Frontline Advocacy tools and resources!
- Work with your Friends group, trustees/board, staff and the general public to ensure that the decision makers always know that the library is a vital part of any community. The library is a valuable asset that must be maintained in good times and bad.
- And don't forget ALA - Advocacy University!

This itinerary is a sample of a typical expedition to Barneo Ice Camp. Day-to-day activities may vary and are thoroughly weather dependent, and flights may leave earlier or later than scheduled, especially the helicopter flight to the North Pole. A level of flexibility and openness to embracing the unexpected are important in expedition travel, especially to such a remote area. Whatever happens, your expedition team will ensure you have an unforgettable journey.

NBC's New Thursday Night Comedy Lineup Is a Complete Ratings Disaster
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland didn't do well last night, either; Glee did.
ABC's Once Upon a Time in Wonderland got off to a weak start and the Glee tribute to Cory/Finn gave the show a huge Nielsen boost, but the biggest ratings news Thursday was the complete collapse of NBC's already weak comedy lineup. First, Parks and Recreation kicked off the night poorly (3.2 million viewers and a 1.2 rating among viewers under 50) by tying its series low demo rating. Then NBC's new Mike O'Malley half-hour Welcome to the Family (2.5 million viewers, 0.8 demo) fell 27 percent in its second week to numbers below those of comedy reruns on cable nets such as TBS and Adult Swim. At 9 p.m., the Sean Hayes–led Sean Saves the World (3.8 million viewers, 1.0 demo) did better than its flat-line lead-in, but still dove 29 percent from its premiere last week. And after doing okay numbers its first few weeks, The Michael J. Fox Show (3.8 million viewers, 1.2 demo) fell back 29 percent to its worst ratings yet. Overall, NBC notched a mere 1.0 demo rating from 8 to 10 p.m. last night, its worst in-season Thursday ratings with first-run, regularly scheduled programming since at least 2004*, when Friends went off the air, and likely ever. Oy.
It's certainly true that there was unusually tough competition last night, between the baseball playoffs and the Glee special. But any preseason hopes NBC execs had of a comedy turnaround pretty much died last night. Welcome to the Family will almost certainly be gone by the start of the November sweeps, if not by next week (perhaps replaced by Community), and while NBC will likely be patient with Sean and Fox, the network has to be thinking about whether comedy still makes sense on the Night Formerly Known As Must-See.
As for Thursday's other big events, ABC execs might be forgiven for crawling into a rabbit hole today: Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (5.7 million viewers, 1.7 demo) opened surprisingly weak, below even last fall's disappointing Last Resort (which premiered with a 2.2 demo). In fact, Once was barely above the ratings for ABC's dead-on-arrival 2010 Thursday drama My Generation. Given the huge marketing push behind the show, the numbers are incredibly disappointing for ABC execs, who have to wonder whether they should've stuck to an early plan to make Wonderland a bridge show between arcs of classic Once. It will be interesting to see how Wonderland does in DVR data; it's possible many families could simply be saving the show for later viewing. Still, it's a very rough start for one of ABC's biggest fall hopes.
The Glee tribute to the late Cory Monteith did very, very well, as it seems everyone who's ever watched the show came home to say good-bye last night: 7.4 million viewers watched the emotional hour, and the show averaged a 2.8 in the demo (tying ABC's Grey's Anatomy for the lead in the 9 p.m. hour). Ratings were up 75 percent versus last week's near record-low numbers for the show. Meanwhile, the best news of the night might have belonged to CBS, as new comedy The Millers is holding up very well: It held on to 94 percent of its premiere ratings last night, better than any new show so far this season. And while The Crazy Ones is still losing viewers (down 17 percent versus last week), it still doubled the demo number of NBC's top comedy and would've almost certainly beat Glee had it not been a special. Don't be surprised if CBS orders more of both new Thursday comedies very soon.

The weather has changed, winter is gone replaced by some sunshine, warmer temperatures, and more important, lots of rain. Riding in the rain can be fun (see previous article) as long as you dress for the part. When you put on your riding gear, you need to ensure that it's not only warm, but also very rainproof. And to that effect, there is nothing better for all kinds of weather riding than FirstGear's Kilimanjaro Jacket, a full 3/4 length jacket.
As motorcycle jackets go, this one is difficult to beat. It has become an industry standard.
The Kilimanjaro Jacket is made out of a waterproof but very breathable shell (in contrast with others that use rainproof liners), using nylon materials. To show you that this jacket is meant for rain, it has a rain hood that can easily be worn under your helmet. What that means is that no rain water will drip down your neck from your helmet, something that does happen often enough with other jackets.
The jacket is well protected with the ultimate in biker armor; D3O. This means you really don't need to worry when hitting the pavement unexpectedly since D3O is a liquid gel that hardens on impact without adding too much weight or bulk.
Another thing I really liked about the FirstGear Kilimanjaro Jacket are the air vents. If the weather gets warm you can open a total of 6 vents allowing fresher air to circulate, cooling down your body.
Another great thing about the jacket is the numerous pockets. As a biker I can never have enough pockets. The many pockets available on the Kilimanjaro have proper all-weather closures so no water can seep into them. Only thing missing IMHO is a sleeve pocket since that is where I keep my credit card and driving license.
If you're riding in-between seasons, you have a removable thermal liner which keeps you warm when the temperature outside is too cold. If you have got the matching pants, you can zip them up to the jacket, thereby ensuring that no cold air moves through your body.
Review Ride
For the ride, it was very damp and rainy. Temperature was pleasant, around 55-60 but the whole day was rained on by the weather Gods. A perfect day to test the jacket.
Putting on the Kilimanjaro is no problem.Usually you need to squeeze on a motorcycle jacket, but this jacket uses stretch material in the shoulder, arm and elbow areas, making it much easier to put on. With the straps on the bicep and forearm, you adjust the the sleeves to fit your body. With the waist belt, you adjust to your belly. This unique capabilities make the jacket fit you like it was tailored, a very nice experience.
I had put on the rain hood under my helmet, no problem there, and set out for the ride. The ride lasted 1 hour 45 minutes and throughout the ride, my body never felt wet nor cold. The jacket fulfills its promise to 100%.
At one stage, later in the day, temperatures started rising so I opened the back vents, enough to give some cooler air, but not allow water to get inside. A cool back is enough to stay comfortable.
On the positive side, the Kilimanjaro is heaven. It's comfortable, it blocks water and cold air, it allows cool air in when it's warm, it's not heavy and you can get it in high-visibility colors.
On the downside, the sleeves at the hand are very open & wide. If you are wearing thin gloves, you'll be getting air and rain inside via the hand, though there is a neoprene closure. It's not a biggie.
The jacket is an all-round perfect jacket.

Dear Santa,
When Avi Bear's 6-year-old border collie, Zigler, became sick four years ago, his homemade solution became the genesis of his Kentucky Proud dog food business.
Avi's brother, Haim, suggested feeding Zigler a special dog food recipe he was making for his sensitive Goldendoodle, Daisy. A trained chef and bakery owner, Avi took the recipe, which was basically home-cooked chicken and rice, and modified it to make it more nutritionally balanced.

The Harrison County courthouse lawn is dotted with monuments reminding us of the soldiers who have fought and died for our freedoms.
Words like valor, bravery, courage, true grit and heroism are used to describe their service. They seem like such small words for the huge sacrifice they and their families made for the rest of us.
This year's Veterans' Day program at Battle Grove Cemetery honors the men from Harrison County who died during World War II. There are 48 of them.

The Kentucky State Parks will again offer the Family Adventure Quest – a trivia and digital photo contest for families and friends in teams of two to six people.
The Family Adventure Quest presents a series of challenges that teams complete by traveling and taking photos at state parks across Kentucky. It's a great way to explore the outdoors.
While some challenges will simply require a little thinking, many will require a visit to different state parks and use of a digital camera to show your team along your journey.

Births announced this week are: No births this week.
The Cynthiana Fire Department set fire to the Cooper Wholesale building on South Poplar Street for training in fire control for three new firefighters. The use of the building for fire training also save the county almost $20,000 in removal of the building. The property was bought by the county to house the 8,000 sq. ft. Jusice Center.

Hunter is the 36th Eagle Scout of Troop 60, which has also had prominent citizens such as mayor Jack Keith and John Sorrell as members of the troop who attained Eagle status.

18 U.S. Code § 2339D - Receiving military-type training from a foreign terrorist organization
prev | next
Receiving military-type training from a foreign terrorist organization
Whoever knowingly receives military-type training from or on behalf of any organization designated at the time of the training by the Secretary of State under section 219(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as a foreign terrorist organization shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for ten years, or both. To violate this subsection, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (c)(4)), that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989).
(b)Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.—There is extraterritorial Federal jurisdiction over an offense under this section. There is jurisdiction over an offense under subsection (a) if—
an offender is a national of the United States (as defined in [1] 101(a)(22) of the Immigration and Nationality Act) or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States (as defined in section 101(a)(20) of the Immigration and Nationality Act);
an offender is a stateless person whose habitual residence is in the United States;
after the conduct required for the offense occurs an offender is brought into or found in the United States, even if the conduct required for the offense occurs outside the United States;
the offense occurs in whole or in part within the United States;
the offense occurs in or affects interstate or foreign commerce; or
(c)Definitions.—As used in this section—
the term "military-type training" includes training in means or methods that can cause death or serious bodily injury, destroy or damage property, or disrupt services to critical infrastructure, or training on the use, storage, production, or assembly of any explosive, firearm or other weapon, including any weapon of mass destruction (as defined in section 2232a(c)(2) [2]);
the term "serious bodily injury" has the meaning given that term in section 1365(h)(3);
the term "critical infrastructure" means systems and assets vital to national defense, national security, economic security, public health or safety including both regional and national infrastructure. Critical infrastructure may be publicly or privately owned; examples of critical infrastructure include gas and oil production, storage, or delivery systems, water supply systems, telecommunications networks, electrical power generation or delivery systems, financing and banking systems, emergency services (including medical, police, fire, and rescue services), and transportation systems and services (including highways, mass transit, airlines, and airports); and
the term "foreign terrorist organization" means an organization designated as a terrorist organization under section 219(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
(Added Pub. L. 108–458, title VI, § 6602, Dec. 17, 2004, 118 Stat. 3761.)
[1] So in original. The word "section" probably should appear after "in".
[2] So in original. Probably should be section "2332a(c)(2)".

text: Wheat Drops as Drier Former Soviet Union Boosts Supply Outlook October 28, 2013 02:41 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Wheat declined to the lowest in more than a week, extending a weekly loss, as drier weather in parts of the former Soviet Union boosted the production outlook. The contract for December delivery lost as much as 0.6 percent to $6.865 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, the lowest price since Oct. 18 and was at $6.895 at 3:03 p.m. in Singapore. Futures fell 2.1 percent last week, the first drop since the period ended Sept. 13. Wheat slumped 11 percent this year as global output heads for a record 708.9 million tons, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts. Russian output will rise 43 percent to 54 million tons in 2013-2014, the USDA said in September. Ukraine's harvest may gain 40 percent, it said. Warmer conditions in the former Soviet Union will improve growth, with potential showers in southern Russia unlikely to be enough to hamper late seeding, Commodity Weather Group LLC said Oct. 25. Rains and cold weather had delayed winter-crop planting in Russia and neighboring Ukraine. "The Ukraine and Russian situation looks like it's improved from two weeks ago in terms of plantings of new crop and harvest of old crop," said Michael Pitts, a commodity sales director at National Australia Bank Ltd. in Sydney. "Argentina hasn't had rain and got some over the weekend, which is a little bearish in the short term." A widespread and needed rain event is likely to favor most of the Argentine corn and wheat crops later this week, keeping conditions stable, Commodity Weather Group said. Corn for December delivery lost 0.3 percent to $4.385 a bushel, dropping for a third day. Soybeans for delivery in January traded at $12.89 a bushel after dropping as much as 0.6 percent to $12.855, the lowest for a most-active contract since Oct. 18. Back to news

New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano has once again agreed to serve as American League captain for the Home Run Derby, and with the game in a National League park — and in New York — he shouldn't face the same sort of hometown fury that came when he didn't pick Royals slugger Billy Butler for last year's Derby in Kansas City.
"Now that you're in New York, you get to pick whoever you want," Cano said. "Now I don't have to pick David Wright because he's on the other side. It's fun. I always say, I've done it away twice. Now you do it at home where you have your crowd and the greatest fans in the world get a chance to see you swinging in the Home Run Derby."
Did Cano actually enjoy being Home Run Derby captain last year?
"You're not going to enjoy it," he said. "You know everywhere you go, you get booed because fans — they don't understand. Even the guys I picked, it's not that I picked anybody because, oh, he's Dominican or he's doing this or that. Everybody was swinging good. It was tough, but now this year I've got the advantage that it's in New York."
Will Cano have his father pitch to him again?
"Oh, yes sir, why not?" he said. "We're .500. One for two."
Will he be booed this time?
"Well, hopefully not," he said.
Will he pick Billy Butler?
"No chance," he said, with a smile.

Roughly 24 hours after Telstra revealed that Android 4.1 updates for the HTC one XL and HTC One S are already in the works, HTC has released an official statement announcing that the HTC One X, HTC One XL and HTC One S will all be updated to Android 4.1.
We know HTC fans are excited to get their hands on Google's latest version of Android. At this point in time, we can confirm that we have plans to upgrade our HTC One X, HTC One XL and HTC One S to Jelly Bean. Please stay tuned for more updates regarding device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Jelly Bean.HTC
While we would have liked to get a little more detail as to when the updates for these handsets are expected to be released, we know that release estimates can easily be pushed out due to long testing cycles by carrier partners. Since Google announced that handset partners have had their hands on Jelly Bean for some time now, we are expecting to see updates roll out a lot quicker than it took HTC and other OEMs to push out Android 4.0 to their existing handset lineup.

Paget's Disease
Paget's disease is a bone condition that results in enlarged and deformed bones. It is a long-term condition. Any bone in the body can be affected. However, the most common sites are the spine, skull, pelvis, thighs, and lower legs.
Normal Bone Structure
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Paget's disease is caused by a malfunction in bone formation. Normally, bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt. With Paget's disease, bones are broken down abnormally fast, and new bone replacement is loose and bulky, instead of strong and compact. These poorly formed bones may become weak. They also may bend over time.
The exact cause of this bone malformation is unknown. Paget's disease may be triggered early in life by a viral infection.
Paget's disease is more common in people who:
- Have a family history, especially in a parent, sibling, or child
- Are of Northern European decent
- Are aged 55 years or older
- Smoke
Most people with Paget's disease don't have symptoms. For those with symptoms, Paget's disease may cause:
- Chronic bone pain, especially legs, hips, or spine
- Swelling or deformity of a limb
- Broken bones
- Bowing of a limb
- Damaged cartilage in the joints
Paget's disease that involves the skull may cause:
- Increased head size
- Headaches
- Facial pain
- Hearing loss
Paget's disease doesn't spread to other bones, but the symptoms do get worse over time.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will order a blood test.
Imaging tests take pictures of internal body structures. These are done with:
- X-rays
- Bone scan
It is best to begin treatment as soon as possible. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.
Medications for Paget's disease include:
- Pain medications, such as acetaminophen, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Bisphosphonates
- Calcitonin
Surgery may be required if you have one of the following conditions:
- Bone fracture
- Severe degenerative arthritis
- Bone deformity
Recommendations include:
- Calcium, usually about 1,000-1,500 mg per day
- Intake of adequate vitamin D, usually about 400 mg per day (older people may need more)
- Regular exercise to maintain skeletal health, joint mobility, and normal body weight
- Avoidance of excess mechanical stress on involved bones
- A splint for an area at high risk for fracture
There are no current guidelines to prevent the onset of Paget's disease. People with primary family members who have Paget's disease are encouraged to have a blood test every 2-3 years after age 40.

If you spend enough time in Rolla, there's a good chance you will run into Mike Lillie.
Lillie, 50, the former owner of the Locker Room and current owner of C&M Billiards in downtown Rolla, is known to many as one of the movers and shakers in the local entertainment scene.
Native to Rolla, his newest business venture, Somewhere Else in Doolittle, is on its way to becoming one of the area's top local hotspots for dining and live music.
Now a few weeks old, Somewhere Else, owned by Lillie, Josh Brown and John Curler, has featured local bands such as The Dirty Midwest, Merkaba and Bad Wolf.
Lillie, who also works full-time with Pipeline Construction Management, took some time from his busy schedule last week to tell us more about the new place and himself.
What was the deciding factor in opening Somewhere Else?
Originally just interested in purchasing the restaurant equipment from BackRoads Bar & Grill. But after talking to some friends, we decided to take the leap into reopening the location with the goal of making it the absolute best overall bar/grill & venue for entertainment in the area.
Why Doolittle?
Why Not? (laughs) I have plenty of friends in the area, partner Josh Brown has family from here and it's just far enough out of Rolla to keep it unique as well as to avoid the smoking ban that is active in the Rolla City Limits.
How did you get into the "bar/ service-industry business?"
It's in my blood. I worked in restaurants most of my young life, and once again to assist in paying for college where I first started managing bars and restaurants. As I got older I wanted to remodel and reopen places that were part of my youth. I first opened the Locker Room where The Top Hat Lounge once had been.
It was a successful business that I sold in 2009 to Ava Chu who continued to do a great job with it. Then it was on to Stan's Corner Pocket when it closed. It was remodeled and we renamed it C&M Billiards, but once it was decided that the "pool hall" business was not as popular as in the 70s and 80s, my wife Tina and I turned it into a pub with a focus on local musical talents but limited food options. C&M has become a primarily college bar but we are proud to have a dedicated group of local patrons and musicians.When the chance came to open another large scale bar & grill at an acceptable price, my partners and I jumped at the opportunity.
What do you love most about being involved in the service industry?
My job in the pipeline industry has afforded me the ability to travel the entire country and enjoy some unique food and beverages. I'm hoping that together with my partners we will be able to bring this type of unique dining as well as entertainment to our area for all to enjoy.
What do you love most about living in Phelps County?
Central Missouri in general is the best place in the country in my opinion. We get all 4 seasons, hills, rivers, and lakes – and Phelps County is only 100 miles from Columbia, St Louis and Springfield. That's hard to beat!!
What do you do to relax?
I'd say that time at the beach with my wife when possible.
Who is your hero and why?
Not to sound cliche, but it would me my parents. They somehow made me into anything successful that I am. The jury is still out.
What is your favorite movie?
I like "Man on Fire."
Favorite historical figure?
Andrew Jackson – A character for sure, good and bad.
Best vacation ever?
Mexico – Beautiful beach and weather, and I was married there to boot.
In your opinion, what would be the perfect job and why?
I'm doing it most of the time in one capacity or another. Do what you love and don't worry about keeping up with the Jones' and life's always good.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Retired and on a beach.
Who is your best friend?
My Wife Tina. She can tolerate me and all of my wild ideas and promises.
What is one little-known fact about yourself that most people would find surprising?
I'm actually very emotional.
If you could meet anyone - alive or dead - who would it be?
Probably my wife's older sister Denise. I never had the privilege of meeting her before she passed, but I've never heard a bad thing said about her by anyone. She had a huge impact on my wife and stepdaughters. I've always felt I missed out not knowing her.
If you had a time machine, and you could visit any place at any time, where and when you go?
Tough question with endless possibilities. I'm pretty simple, and I don't feel I've missed out on much. I have no personal regrets to go back to, and I would never change history, so I think I'll leave that one to Marty McFly and Dr. Brown.
