 Milestone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A milestone or kilometre sign is one of a series of numbered markers placed along a road at regular intervals, typically at the side of the road or in a median.
Milestones are constructed both to reassure the traveller that the proper path is being followed and to indicate distance travelled, or the remaining distance to the desired destination.
The Golden Milestone inspired the Zero Milestone in Washington, D.C., intended as the point from which all road distances in the United States should be reckoned.

 Media Celebrates "Milestone" of 2,000 Dead Americans by Steve Bowers
Ever since the war began the liberal media has been reporting the "milestones" 100, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and now, 2,000 waiting with baited breath as each "milestone" nears to report what they think is the most important statistic of the War on Terror in Iraq.
Given the liberal media's historic accuracy in reporting of all stories that they think could help shed a negative light on the Bush Administration, the reporting of this 2,000 "milestone" has to be viewed with some skepticism.
But the liberal media aren't beneath insulting people to push their liberal agenda even if those people are the brave men and women who fought and died to keep us free.

 Black Enterprise: Marketing a new universe of heroes; how Milestone Media broke open the comic book industry with a ...
Milestone's operating philosophy is based on the premise that comic book characters with "powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men," as well as the artists and writers that tell their stories, should be African-American, Asian, Latino and female - as well as white and male.
Since Milestone's first comic book debuted in February of 1993, the publishing company has sold about seven million copies of seven monthly titles to the retailers that make up the industry's direct market.
The Milestone revolution is driven by the application of a more basic business premise: The greatest product in the world won't make money if you can't make consumers aware of it, and then get it to them.

(That was the case with Spawn, for example.) Milestone Media (which was independently owned, but closely affiliated with DC Comics) was founded with the intention of tipping the scales in the opposite direction from the "whitebread" years.
Static was the most successful of the Milestone line, appearing not just in 45 issues of his own comic (the last dated March, 1997), but also as part of a group of heroes, known succinctly as "Heroes".
Milestone Media is now dormant, but at least one of its characters seems to have survived it.
