Please measure the circumference of your chest in inches using a cloth tape measure and choose the size from the chart below.
Also choose next size up if you will be wearing multiple layers under the jacket.
Comment: Amazingly cool jacket at an unbelievable price. My son loves it.
Lowville, NY
Comment: I ordered this jacket for my 16 month old son. Given his age and growth, I would not have ordered one with a higher price. The leather and quality of construction is unbelievable, and the jacket will certainly be passed on to another child when he grows out of it.

Comment: I bought this jacket to silence the obsessive desires of my 12 yr. old as a Christmas present. It was the best present ever- it is fantastic quality- really well made, heavy leather jacket with that lovely leather smell. I am just astounded by how nice and well made it is. The price was unbelievably cheap yet the jacket certainly isn't. The useful sizing guidelines on the Jaffrum site were spot on. My son hasn't taken this jacket off since he opened it Christmas morning.

Comment: My grandson wants a motorcycle jacket just like his poppa's for Christmas. I was having a hard time finding one that was at an affordable price for a 4 yr. old. Stumbled across your web site hesitated said to myself what kind of jacket can I get for under $40. Ordered it yesterday received it today and I am very pleased. It is a soft leather not stiff and overall a great looking jacket. It looks just like his poppa's. Thank you...
Comment: What a great gift idea and such a low price! I bought the mens classic MJ for my husband also and the jackets are almost identical.

Comment: My son loves this jacket. It is a real leather, heavy jacket with quilted liner. He wears it under MX Body armor when on my bike. Great for spring and fall.
Comment: I got two of these jackets, one for each of my kids, and they are truly awesome jackets. I ordered them a couple sizes bigger than their clothes size to allow for excess clothing underneath in colder weather, and they fit perfectly. The quality of the jacket is amazing and you can't beat this price for a heavy duty, real leather kids motorcycle jacket. We love it.
Comment: My youngest son just got his. Now I need to find a way of getting him to take it off! He loves it. A good quality jacket at a great price. I might try one in pink for my neice. What a great company to deal with! :)
Comment: Wow!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this jacket, or recommend your site to enough of my friends. I'm a small lady so I got the kids 4XL, and I LOVE it. The sleeves are a bit short but that's what I was looking for, it makes it look a bit too small in a good way. It fits perfectly, is really well made and oh so shiny.

Comment: Great quality jacket for my boy and delivery was super fast! Thanks!
Comment: The only thing my 12 year old son wanted for Xmas was a black motorcycle jacket. I scoured the malls and the internet looking for something that was reasonably priced, and had given up until I ran across this one. I was skeptical that it would live up to the reviews - but I was desperate enough to buy it anyway, since Xmas is fast approaching. I was blown away when I opened the box today! The quality is is unbelievable! The quality for the price is outrageous! The black leather is awesome. The zippers go up and down smoothly. The jacket is thick enough to keep my son warm on the way to school, but light enough that I imagine he will wear it all day so he can show it off!
My son is an average-sized 12 year old, and I purchased the size 3XL, and I believe it will fit him perfectly for the next couple of years. When he eventually outgrows this one, I am sure I will be right back to buy him the next larger size!
In fact, I loved the jacket so much, I am thinking of buying one for me!
Comment: I got this for my 8 year-old grandson. He is thrilled. It is made well and fits wonderfully!
Barker, NY
Comment: I bought 2 of these for my 8 and 10 year olds. The leather is beautiful and the quality is unbeatable. I had researched pricing and Jafrum had the best price by far. I made the mistake of ordering my kids current sizes, but then decided upon arrival that I should get them larger so they can wear them more than 1 season. I followed the return instructions and had replacement within 1 week. I was simply amazed at the wonderful service provided by Jafrum. I will definitely be back!
Huntington, WV
Comment: My son loved his so much that soon as it was getting small we ordered the next size up. The quality is better than my own jacket! I am so impressed with this company. We also ordered the chaps and I tell you, I am the coolest mom riding my Harley with my son in his high quality leather Jafrum gear! Patches sew on real nice too!

Comment: I bought this just last month for my grandson's 9th Birthday. He has not worn it yet, since it has not been cold enough in NJ. He just loved it. Great quality for the price. I would highly recommended it. Looked at our local malls and could not find anything even similar. Great buy.
Hamilton Twp., NJ
Comment: Fantastic buying experience from start to finish!! Super fast shipping!! We love the jacket, GREAT quality... Much much better than I expected for the price!! We will definitely order another one when he out grows this one!! I would recommend this company 100%

Comment: Our two daughters absolutely love the jacket. It is a rare find based on the cost and the fact that it is real leather! My 8 year old is very petite but the Size L fit her fine with room to grow. My 11 year old fits the 2XL. (they run kind of small so order 2 sizes up). Many moms have complimented on the jacket and asked where I purchased it from. Great buy!
San Marcos, CA
Comment: We took our 6 year old son to dinner wearing this great jacket, he was the hit of the evening. It's just great, order one size up.
Comment: Very pleased witht his purchase. The leather is great quality, shipping was fast, & the value was excellent! My son loves his new jacket!
Comment: Great deal and great service. Excellent service. Very Prompt. When there was issue of size not fitting, they exchanged it without hassel. Looks great!
Rosemary Mangalmurti
Comment: I ordered this jacket for my son because the price was right and he needed the protection while riding with me. He loves it!! The quality is top notch!! He is curently the COOLEST Kindergartener at school and since I picked up a size just over his normal size he'll be the coolest kid in 1st grade too!! Thanks Jafrum for giving my son "COOL" status at such a young age. We're very happy with your products and you have a customer for life.
Kalamazoo, MI
Comment: I cannot believe the quality of this jacket! The grand baby LOVES it! Company was great to deal with!
Comment: I purchased this for my 10 year old who was really excited to have this jacket, but the 5XLwas too small for her. If there was a bigger size to accomodate her height, we would have gone with another. However, the quality of the jacket was great and customer service promptly credited us once we returned the jacket.
Comment: Great jacket, very fast shipping and responsive customer service. I had to order a 2XL for my smaller-than-average 10 year old. Still, very good quality and he LOVES it.
Comment: Love this jacket. Bought an XL for my third grader, he is small for his age, fits perfect.
Comment: Very nice quality leather jacket. It looks great on my son. My only suggestion would be to buy a size one up from what you think your child would wear. The sizes seemed to run a bit small, but exchanging it for the better size was a breeze, and I highly recommend this jacket for kids!
Ventura, CA
Comment: This is a nice jacket. It is well constructed with good quality leather and zippers. I ordered size XL. The body of the jacket is very boxy, and the sleeves are too short. When you purchase this jacket, and I do think it's worth it for the quality, measure your kid's arm carefully. Order the jacket based on the arm measurement.

Comment: This jacket fits and looks good.
Comment: We purchased a motorcycle jacket for our grandson. The leather was soft and really has a quality look and feel. The jacket was one size too small. The ease of replacement and the courteous and professional customer service person made what is sometimes a difficult process a pleasure. Really pleased with every aspect of this purchase from price, quality and customer service!

Staten Island NY
Comment: This was well made. Great quality and slick look. However, the sizing was way too small. Its a very nice jacket and great price. I'm returning for a bigger size.
Comment: Design seems to be for short stocky kids, but that leaves room for sweaters or something. Found that a 5XL worked well for my tallish 11 yr old. Quality is good, especially for the price! I would buy from Jafrum again.
Comment: Excellent and perfect product. I live in Venezuela.
Comment: My young son loved his leather jacket so much he actually slept in it for several days afterwards. It appears to be of great quality and was a good deal.
Painesville Ohio
Comment: You assured me twice that I would have it by Christmas, and you didn't let me down. The perfect biker jacket arrived at 5:00 pm on Christmas eve! It fits perfectly with a little room for growth. My grandson is 7 (8 in March), slight, but about average size for his age - I got a size large after averaging out the numbers on your helpful chart. It's a great hit and it's hard to pry it off of him!
Deirdre Humphrey
Comment: Great product, good leather and heavyduty zippers . Kid loved it
Bob cannon
Comment: You folks delivered exactly what you promised -- an excellent jacket at a reasonable price. The kid loved it.
Happy in NY
Comment: We purchased one and had to get a different size, but we kept the original and gave that to one of our other grandsons because we liked so much. The leather is quality as are all the zippers and buckle. Very happy with it.

Comment: I bought this jacket for my 5 year old grandson who looks absolutely adorable in it and he couldn't be happier with it. It's really a great jacket, well made and at a great price!
Orange County, CA
Comment: Just like the big boys wear only way too small for my not normal sized 11 year old, lol.
Will be purchasing one in the right size and passing this one on to someone else.
Comment: Quality jacket, Size correct, measure the length of arm and order accordingly.
Great price. Would buy again.
St. Louis, MO
Comment: We originally bought one for a costume for my son, but bought a second jacket for my daughter because we were so happy with the first. They are sturdy and well made. My son wears his all the time - even when it's not very cold out. My kids love them and so do i!
Las Vegas
Comment: My little guy LOVES his new jacket, it's just like Grandpa's! It is heavy leather with a quilted liner. The quality & workmanship are top notch- easily worth twice the price. Follow the sizing guidelines - he wears a size 5 (jeans & t-shirts) - the Medium fits him well & should fit him another year or so.
Arcata, CA
Comment: Super jacket, great fit according to measurements!
Lisa L
Comment: Recently I purchased a kids leather jacket for my daughter and we were very pleased. Initially, I ordered a jacket that was too small and the exchange was very easy and hassel free. I definitely would recommend Jafrum to others.
Columbus, GA

The sizes do run small. My 8 year old son wears a Large in these jackets. Can't find a better deal anywhere!!!
Comment: Got this for my son who loves to ride with his dad. He loves it! Great quality and great price! We only went 1 size up because they didnt have 2 up but I would recommend going 2 sizes up. It fits but just a little snug.
Lori P
Comment: Outstanding quality and price. My son will love this jacket for his birthday. He will look so cool riding on Grandpa's Gold Wing!
Northville, NY
Comment: I received the jacket and I fell in love with it. It was PERFECT for my son. He also loves it. We just had to exchange it for a larger size because it was a bit too small. Other then that....he has had a lot of compliments.
Staten Island
Comment: Great quality, price and seller. This is the 3rd jacket in this line I have purchased. These will be handed down to the grand kids as time passes. I know these jackets will never wear out and will protect the young budding riders.
West Fargo, ND
Comment: I have a 5 year old that rides on the back of my Harley I love the jacket it's perfect for the need And all the women think he is just the cutest little thing in that jacket Thanks
Wade Smith
McKinleyville Ca.
Comment: The jacket fit perfectly--and at that price I can afford to replace it when he outgrows it in a year or two.
Comment: This is a great, quality jacket. We bought it for Halloween but he can wear it all winter long. Well made. Does run small though, my son will not be able to wear it longer than one season. They say order two sizes up from measurements, I think it is more like three. I will definately order from them again!
Pine Valley, CA
Comment: Nice jackets. Good thick leather. Can't beat it for second skin. I bought 2 for both my daughters. The price was fair priced. Noticed now though they jumped, reason being idk. I don't think I would of paid that plus shipping. Kinda high when adults aren't that much higher. There returns policy is great and fast. Had to return one for a larger size and it was here in a couple days. Very fast service. Did have one bottom pop off, but no big deal.
Walhalla S.C.
Comment: Nice for 49 bucks. But now there getting 59. Heck that's shipping. Your talkin 70.00 when a adults aren't much more. They run small so 1 outta 2 I bought had to be returned. But there fast. The new one was here within days. There a nice second skin for riding. One button popped off but that isn't a problem. Nice jacket. My girls love them.

Comment: I bought this jacked off Amazon for my grandson for Christmas. I was leery of the quality until it arrived. Nice jacket and I know he will be thrilled. The jacket arrived within 5 days of ordering. i recommend this jacket and Jafrum.
Comment: I bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves it! His chest measures 32" and sleeve is 19". The 4xl fit him great. The 3xl was a bit short in the sleeve for him.

Comment: My son loves his jacket but your sizes are very confusing, luckily I read the reviews and ordered large. 4X fit my average/slim 10 yr old son perfectly!
Malvern, AR
Comment: Once we got the right size....My stepson opened the box and has not taken the jacket off since. He was very happy and thought he was extremely cool. It is hard to please a 13 year old boy, so this jacket rocked!!!
Laura and Jon
Comment: My 7 yr old granddaughter wanted a leather jacket she tried a faux leather -no way! Jafrum offered the only source for one in her size at a reasonable price. when it arrived she was thrilled. Size is difficult to determine we settled on XL it works great over a sweater and provides room for growth
Comment: Well made kids REAL leather jacket at a great price! My son LOVES it! He looks adorable in it and it's warm too. Would purchase again!
NJ Ape
Comment: Bought this jacket for my 11 yr old grandson for Christmas. He LOVES it. Don't think he has taken it off yet!

Ronald Paulhamus
Lock Haven, PA
Comment: I bought this jacket for my 5 yr old boy and 6 yr old girl to share when it is their turn on the bike. Their chest measurements were 26" and sleeve length 14 and 15. I ordered a L and it is big enough for growth but not too big. The sleeves are obviously a little long. The L measures 15" from seem to seem at the belt level, and 15" across the back- shoulder to shoulder. It measures 28" from zipper to zipper on the inside at belt level and about 32" inside from zipper to zipper at chest level. Hope this helps you choose the correct size.
East Texas
Comment: This jacket is a great value! We followed the directions for measuring and the jacket fits like a glove! Looks great and my great nephew is the coolest kid in school!
D. Davis
Central Ca
Comment: This is the best $50 I have ever spent. . And, I can't believe this leather jacket only costs this much. The quality is really great, along with the details, zippers, etc. My son, almost 9, LOVES it... It makes him feel so totally cool. We live in Florida and it is the dead of Summer... He puts this jacket on at least every other day and shows anyone who comes over... so fun! Nice to be so pleasantly surprised with something bought over the internet, instead of the other way around... Good job Jafrum!

Comment: I was extremely pleased to find this. There isn't a lot out there for the kiddos, and my son has been riding backseat for a year now(he's 10) with nothing other than a nylon insulated winter coat. This gives him something with decent abrasion resistance at a very fair price. The sizes are screwed up though. To get what fits now, measure chest and go up 2 sizes. To allow for growth, add 3 sizes for sure, maybe 4 if you want more than a year out of it.
Portland Oregon
Comment: Better than expected quality for the cost. They do run a bit small so had to return twice but no issues at all with that process
Comment: It's an OK Jacket. Kiddo loves the look, and I'm happy that he has some skid protection. Measure chest, then consult size chart, then jump up 2 SIZES in order to fit now. Jump up 3 if you want room for growth There is just no beating this deal for a fast growing kid, so I am glad i bought it, and next year I will buy another in all probability.
Portland OR
Comment: Great jacket my son loves it ! After reviewing comments regarding sizing I ordered a size extra large for my 9 year old fit perfect he wears a size 8-10 shirt so the jacket was 2 sizes up from his usual size.
Syracuse NY
Comment: I ordered this jacket for my 8 year old Great Grandson. I was shocked how well made it was. There is nothing that we don't like about this jacket. Very good quality, fast fast service and no hassle with the company at all. Thank you for being someone we can finally trust.
Saint Augustine Fl.
Comment: My son has ban asking for a leather jacket for years. But because how fast kids grow I never really looked into buying one. If only I had come across jafrum years ago. The quality is amazing even more so than the price. I can't say enough great things about this jacket. The bonus is when he grows out of this one it should be broken in enough for me to wear. Worth every penny!!! I will definitely be shopping here more.
Nipomo, California
Comment: My wife is very hard to shop for.
Apparently, all women have long arms.
This jacket was just the thing and fits well

Comment: This is a cool, real motorcycle jacket. The leather is supple and the details are authentic. My son loves it and so do I. You can not beat the price. Great jacket,; great deal!!!
Judi Lagan
Comment: The jacket fits my son perfectly and it is so durable. What a great addition to his wardrobe. Thank you.
Comment: My child loves this jacket. The size was right on. It is perfect when he goes for a ride with my husband on the Harley. We have gotten a lot of compliments on it and have been asked where to get this jacket. I will definitely buy another when he needs a larger size.
Ellington, CT
Comment: My Grandson wants to be the Terminator for Halloween. I checked every site to find a leather jacket exactly like the one in the movie. I never dreamed that I would find one that was not only perfect but the quality is unbeatable. My grandson loves it and wears it as much as the weather will allow. This jacket is more than I ever expected for the price. There is no way you would ever be disappointed making this purchase.

Chestefield, Virginia
Comment: I cannot think of a time that I have been more impressed with an online purchase! I was unclear of the sizing for my son so the gentleman I spoke with LITERALLY went into the storage room and held one in his hands. He measured and compared side by side, talking to me for AT LEAST 20 minutes, counting zippers for me, and pockets. Ultimately, I got the wrong size. It was my fault and getting close to Christmas. I called with a fear that it wouldnt make it in time for Santa, they shipped it the SAME DAY and waived the shipping costs. Service --- The Ritz cant touch them! Quality -- It was cheap, and about what I would spend for a jacket that I wouldnt worry that my 7 year old son would use, so I was shocked when I opened the box .. IT WAS REAL LEATHER! My husband said, "I want one!" : ) Overall, I would make no other choice on a jacket. I did my homework before I ordered and NOTHING I found even compares. The only thing my son really wanted this Christmas is wrapped under my tree now. I can hardly wait to see his reaction!

Comment: We just received this jacket today. It is 100% quality leather, and the price is the lowest I found for such an item. Originally we ordered the 1x size based on other peoples questions/ answers about 3 weeks ago. We knew right out of the box it would be too small. True to Jafrum's claims, we mailed it back and requested a larger size and they shipped it for free, in time for Xmas. Just so you know, my son is 10, weighs about 97 lbs and is 4'9". This 4x jacket fits perfect with a little room to grow. It looks great on him and he loves it. Unfortunately he saw the FedEx truck pull up, so he is wearing it now and has been for the last couple hours. Thanks Jafrum!
Jess Williams
Comment: I was blown away when it arrived. I never expected that kind of quality for that price. He'll be opening the gift tomorrow morning and the only problem that may arise is size. Great jacket.
Linda Townsend

Comment: Looked great, had to return for larger size and service was fast and great. Thanks
Comment: I ordered this jacket for my grandson. It came on time and was exactly as described. I cannot imagine how such a nice jacket was such a great price. My grandson absolutely loves it.
Sally Riley
Irvine, CA
Comment: This is a beautiful jacket, but runs very small. An XXL is about a size 10. Had to return for 4XL for a size 12-14. Had to return a second time as shoulder strap was too long and stood straight up. Customer service was great, offered free shipping for return and the resulting jacket was perfect. My grandson loves it.
new jersey
Comment: Great fit, great leather. Made one little girl very happy.
Sandy murof
Comment: As indicated in previous reviews, you'll need to buy 2 sizes larger than expected to fit properly, and allow a little room for growth. That aside, the quality of the product and the service associated with the purchase were outstanding. I purchased an XL for my 7 year old son, who's on the small side, and it fits perfectly. We would certainly recommend to others looking for a kids biker jacket. The fit and finish replicates an adult jacket, not that of a toy.

The KJ742 isn't a really a kids jacket. It's a grown up's jacket that's just too small for grown ups to fit into. It's made of the same durable materials and has the same features as the larger versions. The 742 is made of high quality top grain leather and is available in black or brown. The listings for the two colors are separate, so be sure the color pictured is the color you want. To easily find the listing for the other color, look to the right in the Related Products column. The KJ742 is unisex and available in Kids sizes small to five XL. It is not the same sizing as their play clothes though. You will need to take measurements of your child and refer to the size chart at the bottom of the product listing. The measurements needed are chest circumference, and the outside sleeve length. The outside sleeve length measurement begins at the shoulder seem, with this jacket, as opposed to the middle of the neck as with some brands. The size chart also features a column called length, which is the distance between the top of the collar and the bottom of the jacket's waistband.The quality and features of the 742 really are that of its adult counter-part. They feature heavy duty zippers that can be zipped all the way to the neckline by unsnapping the lapels. They have three exterior pockets, including two zippered hand warmer pockets and a snap closed watch pocket. There is a buckle type waist belt for adjustability and epaulette holders on the shoulders for added style. Looking at the back of the jacket, you can really get a good look at the quality of the leather, and the zippered gussets at the cuffs of the sleeves for easy on and off. Inside the 742, you'll find the removable quilted thermal liner and the two interior pockets. You can see that this really is the real deal when it comes to a top quality riding jacket for your miniature biker type person.

SAIC to split into 2 companies
Friday - 8/31/2012, 4:08pm EDT
Science Applications International Corporation, one of the largest government contractors, has announced plans to split into two independent public companies.
SAIC's board of directors approved the spin-off following a strategic review of the firm, according to a company release. The split is expected to take place in the second half of fiscal 2013.
"We put the strategy together and realized that upcoming government budget pressures was going to necessitate some sort of move to make ourselves and keep ourselves in a competitive position," said John Jumper, SAIC's chairman and CEO, in an exclusive interview Friday on In Depth with Francis Rose.
John Jumper, chairman and CEO, SAIC
One of the companies will focus on technical services, including program support and systems engineering and technical assistance. The other will focus on emerging areas, including cybersecurity, health IT and national security technologies.
"Our two new companies will be designed so that their businesses can be more differentiated and more competitive in their own space," Jumper said in a release.
The split would also free the company from what he called the "burden" of organizational conflicts of interest (OCI).
Contracting regulations forbid, for example, a company from advising the government on the technical requirements of a contract and then submitting a bid to actually do the work.
"We will take those pieces of the business that are normally located on the services side, where we do a service for an organization where we sort of do evaluation or testing," Jumper said. "And on the other side of the business, on the solutions side, we would be doing building or manufacturing or other sorts of material product."
The spin-off "affords both companies an excellent opportunity to combine optimized cost structures, unrestricted access to their respective markets, and the leveraging of decades of SAIC's scientific and engineering excellence to unleash the growth and value we can deliver to our customers, employees and shareholders," Jumper said.
Both Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin have also spun off business areas in the past few years due to OCI regulations.
The split opens SAIC to a range of opportunities in areas like electronic warfare and federal aviation, Jumper said. Previously, the company was excluded from pursuing those opportunities due to some of the services it offered, such as test- and-evaluation.
"This amounts to over $20 billion in opportunities of addressable market we've denied ourselves," he said. "It's going to open huge doors for us and we hope to be able to compete there."
SAIC is one of the 10 largest U.S. contractors based on total contracting dollars obligated, according to data on USASpending.gov. For fiscal 2012, the company holds contracts worth more than $4.4 billion.
Following its announcement Thursday, SAIC shares rose 5 percent Friday, according to the Associated Press.

(NewsUSA) - The holiday season is here, and in no time family and friends will descend upon your home for divine meals and holiday cheer. Now isn't the time to panic, there's plenty of time to prep your house (and your family). Integrating a few of the tips below can help relieve some holiday stress and dress up your home.
* Buy new towels for the bathroom. This is the ideal excuse to replace threadbare towels, which can be done at a reasonable cost.
* Place a runner in the entryway to help absorb slush and snow -- and protect your floors.
* Sharpen your knives -- they are going to get a lot of use in the next couple months.
* Fill scratches in the dining room table with colored wax.
* Clean out the entry closet to allow room for guests' coats and winter gear.
* Treat fabric furniture with protective spray.
* Clean out guestroom dressers or closets. Guests shouldn't have to live out of their suitcases.
* Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are functioning properly. Ideally, there are detectors on each floor of the house.
* Place travel-sized toiletries in the bathroom -- someone will surely forget shampoo or toothpaste.
* Purge your fridge. No need for ancient mustard or spoiled mayo, plus the extra space gives you room for your holiday platters and party trays.
* Have your heating and water-heating equipment serviced.
"One of the best ways to stave off unnecessary holiday stress is planning," said Kerri Walker, senior marketing manager at Rinnai. "Prior to holiday occasions, have your heating and water-heating equipment checked by a professional. If it's time to upgrade, this gives you the opportunity to select the ideal unit and have it installed before problems occur."
Although the tips above won't ensure a stress-free holiday season, they will help you prepare. Involve the kids in some of these tasks as well, by making it a game.

Odyssey Black Series Tour Designs 2-Ball Blade Putters
Product Overview
Extensive work between the Odyssey design team and Tour players like Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els has led to the introduction of precision-crafted milled putters featuring a new look with updated shapes and more head options.
A.R.T. (Advanced Roll Technology) is achieved through multi-material construction. A tungsten weight plug is subtly placed into the sole of the 1020 carbon steel body, resulting in a lower, deeper center of gravity to quickly generate true, forward roll. The 1020 carbon steel TD Milled Face has a precise, deep pattern that generates consistent impact performance for better feel, distance control and smooth roll. The stainless steel sole plate enhances durability, and the new high-tech Deep Black PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Finish produces a durable, glare-free look added specifically based on feedback from Tour pros.
- A precision-crafted, extended mallet with a crank-neck shaft and full-shaft offset.
- A.R.T. uses multi-material construction with an all-milled 1020 carbon steel top and face for feel, a tungsten weight plug for a lower, deeper CG, and a 17-4 stainless steel sole plate for enhanced durability.
- TD Milled Face for consistent control, smooth roll and better feel.
- Deep Black PVD Finish provides a rich, glare-free look that came straight from the Tour and provides a high contrast with the ball to enhance visual acuity.
- Urethane-dampening layer in back enhances feel at impact.
- Precision weighting based on the putter length for premium performance and a balanced stroke.
- Hogged-Out Hosel™ allows weight to be redistributed to the tungsten plug for lower, deeper CG and better roll.

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Vice Chairman and top Republican on the Joint Economic Committee, today said the Federal Open Market Committee's decision to expand its quantitative easing by purchasing $45 billion of long-term Treasury bonds, "a continuation of unnecessary and dangerous monetary policy to make up for failed fiscal policy."
Brady continued, "By running the same monetary play over and over the Fed can expect the same economic result – a slow, irregular recovery hampered by the White House's obsession with higher taxes, oppressive regulation and a unworkable new health care law. More Fed stimulus won't solve that. In fact, it creates more uncertainty for job creators."
"More troubling is that the FOMC is now telling us the new normal for full employment is a bleak 6 ½ per cent, and they are willing to risk higher inflation to achieve it. This is the wrong prescription for what ails our economy today, and risks our future prosperity."
Rep. Brady is the sponsor of the Sound Dollar Act H.R.4180, which would replace the Fed's current dual mandate with a single mandate to maintain the purchasing power of the dollar.

A major offensive against the Taliban was launched in Afghanistan, and a U.S.-Russian arms-control agreement was signed. Military forces conducted anti-insurgency campaigns in Central Africa, Colombia, Yemen, and elsewhere. World navies acted against piracy off the Horn of Africa.
The war in Afghanistan intensified in 2010, with deaths of civilians and military personnel at their highest levels since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled the Taliban regime in 2001. In the first half of the year alone, more than 500 Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police personnel were killed. In all of 2010, 710 foreign troops were killed. The UN reported that conflict-related civilian casualties in the first six months of the year increased 31% over those in the same period in 2009. NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was reinforced to over 150,000 troops to counter the Taliban's resurgence. However, growing disenchantment with the war forced some allies to reconsider their commitment. The Netherlands withdrew all of its 1,950 troops in August, and France and Italy announced that they would begin returning their troops home in 2011. In June Gen. Stanley McChrystal was fired as commander of U.S. and ISAF forces in Afghanistan after critical comments that he made about senior government officials were published by the news media. He was replaced by Gen. David Petraeus.
WMD, Arms Control, and Disarmament
On April 8 U.S. Pres. Barack Obama and Russian Pres. Dmitry Medvedev signed the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) to replace START I, which had expired in December 2009. If ratified by both countries, the new treaty would limit each country to 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads (compared with 6,000 each under START I). The U.S. Senate ratified New START in December, and Russia's parliament, the Duma, began debating the treaty the same month.
The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), which banned the use of weapons that scatter bomblets over a wide area, entered into force on Aug. 1, 2010. By the end of the year, 108 countries had signed the CCM, though major producers of cluster munitions—including Brazil, China, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, and the U.S.—had not.
The 7,200 troops of the beleaguered African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) continued to battle militant Islamist groups—chiefly al-Shabaab—that controlled much of Somalia. Violence there had killed at least 18,000 civilians since 2007, and an estimated 1.5 million people were internal refugees. Somalia had not had an effective government since 1991. AMISOM's mission was to support transitional authorities until a stable government could be established.
Although the level of fighting in southern Sudan decreased significantly in 2010, the 22,000 uniformed personnel of the joint United Nations–African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) maintained an unstable truce between separatist rebels and Sudanese government forces and their allied Janjawid militias. An estimated 300,000 people had been killed and another 2.7 million forced from their homes since violence erupted in Darfur in 2003.
The Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, and Uganda agreed to form a joint military force to combat the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel group with no clear political goals. For most of the period since it formed in 1987, the LRA had confined its attacks to civilian targets inside Uganda, but since 2005 it had spread terror to other countries in the region. In the first 10 months of 2010, the LRA conducted an estimated 240 attacks, killing at least 344 people.
The Americas
Among those killed by January's catastrophic earthquake in Haiti were 96 troops of the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), which had been formed in 2004. MINUSTAH was reinforced with 2,000 troops to help rebuilding efforts and restore order following the earthquake.
Mono Jojoy, the military commander of Colombia's largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), was killed in a raid on his jungle camp in September. Over three million people had been displaced and thousands killed since 1964, when the FARC began its campaign to overthrow the government and install a Marxist regime.
In Mexico more than 10,000 people died in drug-related violence in 2010 despite the presence of 50,000 soldiers and police deployed countrywide to suppress organized crime. That made 2010 the bloodiest year since Pres. Felipe Calderón launched his campaign against the drug trade in 2006.
Middle East
Seven years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the last American combat brigade was withdrawn from the country in August. Approximately 50,000 U.S. troops, as well as up to 7,000 American private security contractors, remained. Bloodshed and instability continued, although reduced substantially from the peak in 2006–07.
Global attention turned to Yemen as it grappled with two internal conflicts and the presence of the militant organization al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In northern Yemen, Shiʿite Muslim rebels known as al-Huthis battled Yemeni and Saudi forces along the border between the two countries. In southern Yemen there were clashes between security forces and separatists. In response to AQAP's presence, a U.S. Navy ship in December 2009 launched a cruise missile strike against suspected terrorists. (See Special Report.)
East Asia
The sinking of the South Korean corvette Cheonan in March in the Yellow Sea, with the deaths of 46 sailors, raised tensions with North Korea. Although North Korea was the suspected culprit according to an international investigation, the UN Security Council refrained from placing blame for the incident. Four South Koreans, including two marines, died in November when North Korea launched an unexpected artillery attack against the island of Yeonpyeong, close to the maritime border between the two countries.
South and Central Asia
In April, Maoist rebels (known locally as Naxalites) ambushed paramilitary troops in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, killing at least 75 soldiers. More than 20 of India's 28 states were affected by the insurgency, which had killed more than 6,000 people in four decades of fighting.
Southeast Asia
Several long-running insurgencies continued in the Philippines. Negotiations with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the largest rebel force, stalled. Although weakened by years of joint Philippine-U.S. military operations, Abu Sayyaf, a small Islamist separatist group, persisted in kidnappings and terror attacks. Also, an ambush by the Maoist New People's Army (NPA) that killed 11 soldiers in March was evidence that its decadeslong struggle was not over.
Thailand declared martial law, and the army was deployed to suppress an occupation of Bangkok's city centre by tens of thousands of antigovernment protesters known as red shirts. Bouts of violence during the protests—which lasted from mid-March to mid-May, when the army finally took the red shirts' camp—left 91 people dead and nearly 2,000 wounded.

Today I was at the local Family History Center verifying the goldmine of information you sent last week. The only thing I can't seem to follow up on is anything else about my grandfather's sister Carmella Richichi, who you found arrived in NYC with her sister Teresa. I searched "all kinds" of record and can't find her - perhaps she died very soon after arrival, was immediately married and I don't know her married name, or quickly went back to Italy? My father has one 93-year old surviving sister with a very bad memory - however I have written to her to try to verify Carmella was in Amsterdam,NY where she and Teresa were headed from the Port and where I know Teresa lived the rest of her life. BTW, I met another researher at the FHC today who just made a largely unsuccessful, expensive trip to Reggio Calabria, because she had so little information before she went and did not speak the language (neither do I). I told her of your incredible website and expect next time I see her there that she will be very happy from her future results. Thanks for your help and patience - Nick

Agent: Greg Oden Interested In Signing With Cavaliers
By Jason Lloyd
Beacon Journal sports writer
Former Ohio State star Greg Oden is interested in resurrecting his NBA career with the Cavaliers, his agent confirmed Wednesday night.
"He's a Buckeye," Mike Conley Sr. said of Oden. "He lives in Columbus. There's definitely interest there."
Conley said there is mutual interest with his client and four NBA teams, "and maybe some others will develop in the next 30 days. Who knows? There's a few scenarios out there that make sense for him."
Conley and Oden aren't under any pressure to get a deal done quickly since he won't play this season. The Cavs have more money to spend this season than the Miami Heat, another team Conley confirmed Oden is interested in. Oden isn't expected to sign with another team until after next month's trade deadline, but Conley left open the possibility they wait until fall.
"Our main focus is on next year or the year after and what cap space looks like during that time, who knows?" Conley said.
Oden has endured three microfracture surgeries on his knees — including two on his left knee. He has not played since Dec. 5, 2009, after the Portland Trail Blazers made him the top overall pick of the 2007 draft.
He played in just 82 games in five seasons with the Blazers, averaging 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds. They finally released him near the end of last season.
Conley said Oden's spirits are "the best they've been in a long time. I would say since I've known him, but I've known him since he was 9."
Oden and Conley's son, Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley Jr., are childhood friends from just outside Indianapolis. That's part of the appeal in playing for the Cavs, since it's close to home. He could step on a basketball court now, but no one will let him. He is jumping as high as he has in his life, Conley said, and he feels good both mentally and physically. Oden has previously admitted to battles with alcohol and depression while fighting through all of his injuries.
Brandon Roy, Oden's former teammate in Portland, recently attempted a similar comeback after years of knee problems, only to have it derailed early this season with another knee surgery.
Conley said "it's all or nothing" with Oden this time.
"He's either going to be able to play or if he gets hurt again and can't play, he can't play," Conley said. "He's going to make an impact on whatever team he's on. A big impact. He's already back in my eyes. As long as he stays healthy, he'll get better and better. He hasn't had a chance to improve his game of basketball because of all this. The upside on him is tremendous. He's a young kid. He just turned 25. He's in the prime of his life."
The Cavs won't comment on the ongoing negotiations.
"I do not talk about players that are not here," coach Byron Scott said.
http://www.ohio.com/news/top-stories/ag ... bled=false
Looks like Oden wants to play for his hometown instead of signing with the Champs.

Anti-American protests spread across the Arab world
The protests continue to grow in the Arab world after the release of the short film The innocence of Muslims, produced and directed by filmmaker who described Islam as cancer. After Tuesday's attacks, which killed four people, including the United States ambassador to Benghazi (Libya), a wave of anti-American protest continued on Thursday in various parts of the Arab world.
The embassy in Sanaa stormed
In Yemen, demonstrators stormed Thursday the United States Embassy in Sanaa. Police fired into the air in a bid to disperse the rioters, but they entered the embassy compound and set fire vehicles. Following clashes with the protesters, police were able to evacuate the demonstrators.
Violence in Cairo
In the Egyptian capital, new clashes between protesters and security forces also erupted Thursday, despite calls for calm by Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Police used tear gas.
The protesters began throwing stones and other objects on forces responsible for the security of the embassy, according to the Ministry of the Interior. According to the Ministry of Health, 13 people were injured in the sporadic violence that began last night.
For two days, rallies, often violent, took place in front of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to protest against the film. Throughout the country, there are fears of renewed tensions between Muslims and Coptic Christians, because according to the Egyptian press and Muslim preachers, Copts living in the United States were involved in the production of the film.
Anger from Iran to Morocco
Rallies were also held last night, in front od the American embassies in Casablanca (Morocco), Tunis (Tunisia) and Khartoum (Sudan). A demonstration is planned for Thursday in Tehran (Iran) in front of the Swiss Embassy, which represents U.S. interests.
Demonstrations were also reported in Benghazi, Libya, as residents of the city took to the streets, but this time to condemn the attack on the U.S. consulate during which the U.S. ambassador and three officials were killed on Tuesday. "Libya is not Afghanistan," "thugs and killers are not Libyans" or "no insults against the Prophet, not insults against Islam, not to terrorism, " read some signs.
American Concerns
There is growing concern for the safety of American citizens in Arab countries. U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday urged the leaders of Egypt and Libya to discuss their cooperation in the security field. The President of the United States has called on Libya to cooperate with Washington to arrest and bring to justice the perpetrators of the killings on Tuesday, and urged Egypt to honor its commitments regarding the protection of the delegations of the United States and their staff.
In a speech broadcast on Egyptian state television, his Egyptian counterpart, Mohamed Morsi, said that " it is [the duty of the Egyptians] to protect those who come from abroad (...) and I urge everyone to take this into account, not to violate the law in Egypt and (...) not to attack the embassies. "
Top Headlines
I tried viewing the trailer of "The Innocence of Muslims" which truthfully I did not understand nor get the point of. The comment made that "Islam is cancer," however, I did get. This is a terrible slander. However, God's people are above comments like this, and so should the Islamic people be. We do not put ourselves on the same level of some anti-God whose heart and spirit are filled with the disgrace of devils. He and he alone is the one who should be brought to trial for the travesty that his insulting remark has left on all people of this world, not just the Islamic people. All of us in this world need to realize that there is a satanic attack in progress causing these uprisings between nations and thus we term them "holy wars." Punish the one who is not for the good of this world, and leave the rest who are innocent and not to blame and who have the arabic nations best interests at heart, seeking to do whatever good they can in support of them and not to change their religious beliefs. Thank you for allowing me to comment.

When you run alone, you go a distance and speed dictated by your ability (one part hope, two parts denial), your conscience (one part denial, two parts hope), and the previous night's dessert (one part cookie, two parts more cookie). Running with partners requires compromise in that calculus. Some go fast, some go slow, some go just right, and some, because they are trying to kill you, simply go and go and go.
The running mentor is the partner you aspire to become—he runs farther and faster than you but not unattainably so. Even though these partners could easily speed off into the distance, they somehow remain just barely within reach of at least your imagination. You puff alongside them as they glide effortlessly down the road, and you think, Maybe someday.
By contrast, going out with the running buddy is like running alone, only funnier. You go shoulder to shoulder the whole distance, magically slowing in tandem by the middle of every large hill and simultaneously divining the turnaround of the route's arbitrarily chosen halfway point. You puff alongside the running buddy and think, Ah yeah.
Any partner who started running after you did is your running newbie. This is the partner who goes slower than you do, walks more often, complains more and has every right to. No matter how hard you're working, the running newbie is working harder. You puff alongside this partner and think, I remember.
One slow, one medium, one fast. In a perfect world, that would cover the entire continuum. But because the world is not a perfect place, there is one more kind of running partner. Because there are seeds in watermelons and holes in doughnuts and microphones connected to jukeboxes, there is also the running demon—a partner who will always be faster than you but will never let you lag. You sprint alongside the running demon and think, This. Is. Wrong.
Within minutes of pulling into the driveway with his wife and two children for what would be a four-day visit, my good friend Paulie smiled and asked with a menacing twinkle, "You get a run in yet today?" We ran during his last visit over three years ago, and though I had physically healed from the assault, the clench in my stomach when he said the word "run" told me I was still recovering psychologically. Because I wasn't ready for the question or the sudden hopelessness it brought on, I simply froze. "Yes, excellent!" he said, grabbing the back of my neck and giving it a shake. "Let's do it then!"
It was just before noon and 90 degrees in the shade. "How about later when it's a little cooler?" I tried. He looked quickly over either shoulder.
"Did I hear a baby just now?" he said. His eyes spun wide. "Oh, it was only you!"
"It's pretty hot out here," I said.
"I can help you with that diaper," he said. While our wives and children moved their bags into the house, he and I sat of the floor of the porch and laced up our running shoes.
Everyone should have at least one, and probably only one, friend who will be able to back-flip off the high-dive on his 80th birthday. Paulie is mine. By the cruel and random logic of the genetic dice, he and I would have been remarkably different even as infants. Though I'm probably almost twice his weight, he somehow manages to have two times the muscle. There is a hollow spot where his belly should be. The tanned skin over his torso is as tight and lean as that of a greyhound. The rest of his body is like what you would see on an anatomy chart—every sinewy fiber the perfect size, in perfect line, to perfect proportion. Paulie is a wire, a living spring, a demonic Tigger, and one hellish running partner.

Meanwhile, his book, The Holy Reich: Nazi Conceptions of Christianity, 1919-1945 (Cambridge UP) continues to generate scholarly debate. Three review essays have recently explored various aspects of the work: Milan Babík's piece in History and Theory examines the question of Nazism as a "secular religion"; Mark Ruff's article in Catholic Historical Review compares Holy Reich with a recent German-language monograph on a similar topic; and Neil Gregor's extended review essay in Journal of Modern History explores the larger implications of the book for Third Reich historiography. In addition, in 2007 the Journal of Contemporary History will publish a symposium on Holy Reich, bringing together five scholars from Europe and North America, and concluding with a rejoinder by the author.
Clarence E. Wunderlin, Jr., has published the final volume (1949-1953), of The Papers of Robert A. Taft, 4 vols. (Kent, Ohio: Kent State University Press, 1997-2006).

This appears to be a part of one of the first rocket pumps tested by the American rocket pioneer Dr. Robert H. Goddard in 1923 for his first experiments with liquid propellant rocket motors. However, it was only used in ground tests.
Goddard used liquid oxygen and kerosene to test his first pumps although he preferred liquid oxygen and gasoline as his standard propellants. This object was donated to the Smithsonian by Mrs. R.H. Goddard in 1959.
Gift of Mrs. Robert H. Goddard
