CHARLESTON, W.Va. - As Capital High School's football team filed out of the locker rooms and onto Laidley Field, they passed two men who play an important role in their athletic lives.
One was their head coach, Jon Carpenter.
The other was Tony Harris, whose work with the team is less high profile but, from the looks of things, still appreciated. The boys nodded in his direction or nudged him on their way by, and some shouted greetings.
"I get to know them all pretty well," Harris said.
Harris is at every game Capital's football team plays and at practice every day. He loads and unloads equipment and generally helps out wherever he's needed. He runs through a checklist of tasks before the team ever hits the field. Carpenter calls him the "Director of Football Operations."
"He practically runs things," Carpenter said.
Officially, there's a substantial framework holding up most high school football teams - coaches, assistant coaches, athletic trainers who are employed by the school system. But many teams also are graced with a less official presence, those people who are there on their own time for love of the game and the team alone.
Harris has been doing this for decades, since he was a freshman at the old Charleston High School in 1981, before it merged with Stonewall Jackson to become Capital High. That's when he started hanging around football practices - he liked the sport and liked being around it - and the coach let him volunteer to help out and travel with the team.
He graduated in 1984 but never stopped coming to practices. Since then, he's seen the team through four head coaches, four state championships and countless student athletes. He's the institutional memory of the team.
"It's a lot of work," he said. "But it's just a joy being around the kids, around the coaching staff."
Carpenter sees Harris as an integral part of the team - he can't imagine doing his job without him.
"When you become head coach, you realize it's probably the loneliest job in the school system," Carpenter said. "He's worth his weight in gold because it doesn't matter if you go 0 and 10 or 10 and 0, he's here.
"He's like a security blanket; he's here for us no matter what."
At St. Albans High School, there's Alison Dalton, a junior and the team manager for the football team.

Heineman also said Wednesday the "tumultuous environment" that developed before the cyclist admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs also played into the team's decision to change Livestrong Sporting Park to Sporting Park.
Heineman says the decision came after ESPN reported Livestrong said Sporting still owed the cancer charity $750,000 for 2012. Heineman says the team doesn't owe Livestrong any money.
Armstrong admitted to Oprah Winfrey this week he used performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career.
Livestrong CFO Greg Lee says the organization doesn't discuss arrangements with its partners but he has "to ensure compliance by our corporate partners."

Excerpted from The Burglary by Betty Medsger. Copyright © 2014 by Betty Medsger. Excerpted by permission of Knopf, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Betty Medsger was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Medsger is a former chair of the Department of Journalism at San Francisco State University and is the founder of its Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism. She is the author of Winds of Change, Framed, and Women at Work. She lives in New York and Connecticut.
"Rich and valuable."
-David J. Garrow, The Washington Post
"Impeccably researched, elegantly presented, engaging…For those seeking a particularly egregious example of what can happen when secrecy gets out of hand, The Burglary is a natural place to begin."
-David Oshinsky, New York Times Book Review
"Astonishingly good, marvelously written…the best book I've read about either the antiwar movement or Hoover's FBI; a masterpiece."
-Daniel Ellsberg
"The break-in at the FBI offices in Media, Pennsylvania changed history. It began to undermine J. Edgar Hoover's invulnerability. Betty Medsger writes a gripping story about the burglary, the burglars, and the FBI's fervid but fruitless efforts to catch them. Her story of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI (and today's NSA) teaches the dangers of secret power."
-Frederick A. O. Schwarz, Jr., former Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate's Church Committee investigating America's intelligence agencies and author of the forthcoming Unchecked and Unbalanced
"A riveting account of a little-known burglary that transformed American politics. Medsger's carefully documented findings underscore how secrecy enabled FBI officials to undermine a political system based on the rule of law and accountability. This is a masterful book, a thriller."
-Athan Theoharis, FBI scholar
Ordinary people have the courage and community to defeat the most powerful and punitive of institutions -- including the FBI. That's the unbelievable-but-true story told by Better Medsger, the only writer these long term and brave co-conspirators trusted to tell it. The Burglary will keep you on the edge of your seat -- right up until you stand up and cheer!"
-Gloria Steinem
"In The Burglary, Betty Medsger solves the decades-long mystery the FBI never could: who broke into an FBI office in 1971 and exposed the Bureau's secret program to stifle dissent? An astonishing and improbable tale of anonymous American heroes who risked their own freedom to secure ours, triggering the first attempt to subject our intelligence agencies to democratic controls. The book couldn't be more timely given the current furor over a new generation of domestic spying."
-Michael German, former covert counterterrorism FBI agent
"A masterpiece of investigative reporting. As a writer, I admire the way Betty Medgser has explored every angle of this truly extraordinary piece of history and told it with the compelling tension of a detective story. As an American, I'm grateful to know at last the identities of this improbable crew of brilliant whistle-blowers who are true national heroes. As someone appalled by recent revelations of out-of-control NSA spying, I'm reminded that it has all happened before, and that then, as now, it took rare courage to expose it. This brave group of friends were the Edward Snowdens of their time."
-Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost

How about this based on skin color? Its still easier, i.e. if you're brazilian, to have easier access if one is lighter skinned.
Many black people in America have trouble obtaining passports.
Lower Caste (who predominately tend to be darker than their upper caste counterparts) in India face similar issues.
How about access to space based on skin color? I doubt economist would publish that study, I would be proud of them if they did.
How easy it is to INVADE space if you're white as compared to any other color.
As an Indian-American who has a passport, I can vouch for the fact that virtually anyone in the US who wants one can get a passport if they do the paperwork and pay the fee. Skin color plays no role whatsoever.
Cool, as having been someone who grew up in the American state, having grown up there all through my childhood, and teens, to eventually having a judge call me arbitrary and deporteing me, I can vouch differently. My father also lived in America for 30 years, worked hard, paid taxes, and never received his papers. On the other hand, rich and/or white people enjoy a far greater sense of freedom to where they can go on planet earth.

Who Is Affected by Tennis ElbowWho Is Affected by Tennis ElbowUp to 3% of the general population get tennis elbow.1 Playing tennis is only one of many activities that can result in this tendon injury. Frequent twisting movements of the hand, wrist, or forearm usually cause tennis elbow. These are motions you use in everyday actions, such as using a screwdriver, digging in a garden, and playing racquet sports. A direct blow to the outer elbow can also cause tendon damage.
Tennis elbow is common in people who play racquet sports, including tennis. Tennis elbow in tennis players is usually caused by using the wrong technique or equipment that does not fit a person's body or strength (for example, too large of a grip on the racquet). References

An Excerpt from Little Dog Lost
On a cold winter day, a curious dog wandered onto a frozen river, and before he knew it he was traveling fast on a sheet of ice. Many people tried to help, but the dog could not be reached. Finally, after two nights and seventy-five miles, the little dog was saved by a ship out in the Baltic Sea.
The gallant rescue of the little dog nicknamed Baltic made international news. Mônica Carnesi's simple text and charming watercolor illustrations convey all the drama of Baltic's journey. His story, with its happy ending, will warm readers' hearts. An author's note and map are included. |

3 Good Reasons Not to Pay an Accountant to File Your Taxes
Don't just give your money away to an accountant. With all the tax software on the market today, it's easier than ever to keep your cash and file your own tax return.
Don't just give your money away to an accountant. With all the tax software on the market today, it's easier than ever to keep your cash and file your own tax return.
2013 tax law changes, some caused by the fiscal cliff legislation, that you should know about before filing your 2013 return.
The economy is rumbling along, out of control. Straight ahead, the road abruptly ends, yet the horses show no signs of slowing. Next stop: the fiscal cliff! Here's how the looming crisis will affect the average American family.
It's still unclear what lawmakers will do to address $7 trillion in looming tax increases and spending cuts. If they do nothing by Dec. 31, here's what will happen.
The Senate is bracing for a tax-cut showdown that is all about Democrats and Republicans showing voters their differences over taxing the well-off while accusing each other of threatening to shove the government over a fiscal cliff.
The cost of an education has never been higher. But by taking advantage of some tax benefits, you can at least put a small dent in some of those bills. Which of that complicated menu of tax benefits applies to you? DailyFinance breaks it down.
In February 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an appropriations bill that would cut the Federal Pell Grant Program, beginning in July...
Last week, U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-Iowa) proposed the Universal College Credit Act, which would double to $5,000 the annual tax credit for college students.
Here's a scary statistic: The average cost of a private, four year college is $26,273, an increase of 4.4% from last year. That works out to more...

Offering diagnosis and treatment of communication, hearing, and swallowing disorders
Published: May 10, 2011
Updated: Nov. 3, 2011
When a child suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a hospital stay is likely required for moderate or severe trauma.
The hospital may be an unfamiliar and stressful place for a child with a TBI. Knowing strategies and tips for improved communication and how to create a more comfortable environment may help put a child at ease and, therefore, facilitate recovery.
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are communication experts who provide rehabilitative services, both in the hospital and after discharge, to patients who have sustained a TBI.
Your SLP can work with your family on these strategies and tailor them to your child's particular needs.
Follow these tips when communicating with your child following a TBI:
To learn more about the stages of recovery your child will go through and suggestions for how you can interact with him or her, read the "Pediatric Guide to the Rancho Scale" care guide.
The hospital room should be kept quiet and free from bright lights and distraction. Some tips for keeping the hospital room conducive to healing:

The OutKast member continued, letting listeners know to expect a cohesive project. "It's a full body of work.

You are here:
Fruit vendors of Cartagena /Picture luchilu/
To think about Colombia is to think about the great archaeological, cultural, and artisan wealth that constitutes the perfect mixing of three cultures - Indian, European, and African - that became fused into one over the course of several centuries.
Archaeological parks are one of the most impressive riches of Colombia. By getting to know them, it is possible to discover the imprints of the pre-Hispanic societies that inhabited these lands.
Colombia is a country full of traditions, colors, and festiveness.
By nature, Colombians are cheerful. They have celebrations all year round. Join the carnivals in Barranquilla and Pasto, unique fairs you will not find anywhere else, such as the Medellín Flower Fair, the Jeep Parade in Calarcá, or the Wayúu Culture Festival; the religious celebrations during Holy Week and Christmas; folk music festivals, and many, many more.
Discover the beauty of Colombian handicrafts in any of these categories:

Watching the Oscars last night meant sitting through a series of crudely sexist antics led by a scrubby, self-pleased Seth MacFarlane. That would be tedious enough. But the evening's misogyny involved a specific hostility to women in the workplace, which raises broader questions than whether the Academy can possibly get Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to host next year. It was unattractive, and sour, and started with a number called, "We Saw Your Boobs."

Daytrip Skull T-Shirt
$29.95 Item #1092328851- Graphic bleach dip wash t-shirt
- Rhinestone accents
Daytrip Skull T-Shirt 1 1
so cute! I was nervous at first about the lighter bottom drawing attention to the mid section, but I went ahead and tried it on anyways, and I'm so glad that I did!! The skull actually draws all of the attention and you don't really focus on the bottom. Fit is a little tighter than my other Daytrip shirts, but not enough to make me size up! Love it!!

Cannot be beat for the price. Are there better reels? yes, but not for the price. Have several of these now and they perform flawlessly.
My very favorite setup is an Aird 2500 on a St Croix AVID MLF
Like this product so much, bought one for my brother

Rated 4 out of 5 by jfisher1991 Great Real
I bought this real cause i used my friends and it was one of the smoothest reels I've ever used. It has great drag settings allow me to utilize my rod to the best functions. It can go from panfish and perch with small light hits to 20 plus pound carp to 10 pound explosive hits from stealhead and walleye. Its also a great product because it comes with 2 spools allowing you to change quickly and efficiently between line types/weight.

Ask your questions. Share your answers.
I am stuck on whether to get the 2500 or 4000. i would be catching bass from 2 to 10 pounds. what should i get?Answers
Believe you would be happy with either, it would depend on the rod you pair it with. If you are consistently catching bass over 5lbs I would probably go with the 4000. But if most of you fish are below that, the 2500 will catch them all. My favorite setup is a 2500 with a St Croix Avid MLF and it has caught plenty of fish in the 5 to 10 lb range.A:
The 2500 would be the better choice. The 4000 is a bit big for bass fishing unless you are using huge baits. In that case you would be better off using a baitcaster.A 2500 series reel, with a smooth drag, can land any bass you are fishing for.
I use the 2500. In general, I feel the 4000 reels are too big for me to handle comfortably.Q:
2 answers
2 Questions 1) Suitable for salt water use? 2) Is stated line capacity for mono or braid?
!) Would be interested in comments from owners that have used the 2000SH or 2500SH in saltwater?2) What are the line capacities for braid?
300 yards great for backwater fishingA:
I have used my 2000's in saltwater multiple times. I give them a quick rinse and so far so good. Look and function like new.Answers
Spool a few yards of mono first, then use a blood or uni-knot to splice the mono and braid together.A:
I tried that and what happens is, eventually the adhesive on the tape melts when the tape gets old and it makes a sticky mess, WD 40 will clean it off. I just use mono for backing now.A:
I believe they include a special spool for braid, if not, you can simply tie on a 5ft monofilament leader.Answers
When I tie braid to the spool I add a small piece of tape to prevent the line from slipping.A:
No it cannot.Q:
3 answers
Writeup says it has an ABS spool. Is this rated for braided line. What is extra spool made of?
Top 500 Contributor
Yes it can be used with braid and the extra spool looks the same just deeper to hold more line thats why its a 2500 and a 3000 in the same reel!A:
Can't anything about the braided line I don't use it myself it doesn't say anything about it in the packaging or on the Daiwa website. My Aird came with an aluminum spool. They come with different sizes depending on which reel you get a 4000 comes with a 3500 spool. Website has info. Love it! It's a great reel. I'm actually looking to getting another smaller one at some point.1 of 1

New SUNY-ESF president wants to keep school on leading edge
Dr. Quentin Wheeler will return to central New York in January to be SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry's first new president in more than a decade.
He comes back to New York from teaching at Arizona State University. Before that he cut his teeth as a professor at Cornell University where he stayed for a quarter century.
For a scientist, Wheeler said in an interview with WRVO, the forests of upstate New York are a good place to be.
"Historically, It's always been seen sort of as America's wilderness and being a scientist that's interested in biological diversity, those forests are just incredibly diverse," he said.
Wheeler is an entomologist by trade – a scientist that studies bugs. He takes credit for the names of more than 100 different types of beetles.
He will take over the Syracuse campus from Neil Murphy, who oversaw the state-run public college for 13 years.
"Society is facing environmental challenges that are absolutely unprecedented in human history in terms of their scale and complexity," he said, "and I would very much like to see ESF continue its tradition of being at the leading edge of discovering ways in which we can meet those environmental challenges and help society live more sustainably."
Wheeler wants to make sure ESF continues to stand out in a growing field of colleges that offer environmental studies.
"Perhaps the most promising way of doing that is stepping back and asking what are the most important questions facing science and society," said Wheeler, "and then plot a course to try and tackle those."
ESF often stands in the shadow of the larger Syracuse University next door, which helped start the college a hundred years ago. S.U. is also going through a transition to new leadership. Kent Syverud will take over the University in January. Wheeler said that offers a great advantage for both maintaining the relationship and looking for new opportunities.
"We'll approach it with an open mind," he added.
As for some of ESF's quirkier traditions, like no walking across the quad in an effort to preserve the green space, he said he's heard about it, "and I will certainly police myself to make sure I conform to tradition."
Wheeler calls ESF's campus, tucked on the back of the University Hill, a gem that he wants more people to know about.

Sheila McLaughlin reports:
The longtime clerk of Butler County Area Courts will retire this month to come back as a part-timer in February, allowing her to collect her pension as well as a salary.
Butler County commissioners on Monday approved the Nov. 30 retirement of Debbie Bolser. She'll be rehired on Feb. 1. In the interim, deputy clerk Melinda Parsons will fill in for Bolser.
"There's a savings of $36,000 a year by doing this," Judge Rob Lyons, of Butler County Area I Court, told commissioners.
He said Bolser decided to retire now because of recent changes in public pension law. Reforms that go into effect in January raise retirement eligibility ages, set new guidelines for cost-of-living adjustments and created a new formula to calculate benefits.
Bolser, who has worked for the court for 34 years, had an annual salary of $67,535.78, according to the county auditor's office.
Commissioner Chuck Furmon acknowledged that Bolser will be double-dipping.
"Yes. But she will be working part time so it's a savings in that regard when she comes back," he said. "She is really well qualified. She's got her finger on everything that's happening. She's always been the go-to person."

Lung Volume Reduction Surgery for Severe Emphysema
DESCRIPTIONLung volume reduction is a surgical treatment for patients with severe emphysema involving the excision of peripheral emphysematous lung tissue, generally from both upper lobes. The precise mechanism of clinical improvement for patients undergoing lung reduction surgery has not been firmly established. However, it is believed that elastic recoil and diaphragmatic function are improved by reducing the volume of diseased lung. In addition to changes in chest wall and respiratory mechanics, the surgery is purported to correct ventilation perfusion mismatch and improve right ventricular filling. Lung volume reduction surgery is palliative not curative. The procedure is designed to relieve dyspnea and improve functional capacity and quality of life. Patients continue to have severe emphysema, and most patients will show further progression of their disease over time. | ||||||||||||||||||
POLICYLung volume reduction surgery as a treatment for emphysema may be considered medically necessary in patients with emphysema who meet ALL of the following criteria*:
Lung volume reduction surgery is considered investigational in all other patients. *patient selection criteria are based on the National Emphysema Treatment Trial | ||||||||||||||||||
POLICY EXCEPTIONSFor Federal Employee Program (FEP) subscribers only, lung volume reduction surgery as a treatment for emphysema may be considered medically necessary in patients with emphysema who meet ALL criteria and investigational for all other patients. (See FEP policy) (added 3-25-2004) | ||||||||||||||||||
POLICY GUIDELINESThe following additional criteria, also from the NETT trial, may provide further information in determining whether a patient is a candidate for lung volume reduction surgery:
Investigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary. The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language. | ||||||||||||||||||

January 11, 2012

Great spring weather glove
March 19, 2011
These gloves fit beautifully. They feel good to wear and are perfect when you need something and winter gloves are too much. Great color too! I pair them with an orange redpoint jacket (Northface). Perfect for 35 to 60 degrees.
Pros: Great design, Great valueBest Gloves Ever
March 04, 2011
It's been cold down here in florida this winter (down to 25 to 30 degrees) and my husband was looking for a glove that is not too bulky on his hands. When we got it from the mail he tried it on, got his camera and went outdoor , went back inside got his car keys and went for a drive. 20 minutes later he came home with a big smile on his face and said " Best Glove Ever". He said the fabric is very warm and he did not have any difficulty playing with his camera and other accessories/gadgets. This gloves is definitely going with us to Peru/Macchu Picchu this June. I'm waiting for my size to be available and will order one for myself.
Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of useThese gloves are excellent performers in all seasons.
March 19, 2008
I use these gloves while snowshoeing in the mountains. In bitter cold conditions they provide extra warmth as liners and can be used alone during high exertion climbs. A big plus the power stretch fabric provides is the good dexterity while making adjustments to gear during conditions when exposing bare hands could be dangerous.The gloves dry very well; at times with my own body heat.The wrist collar is very comfortable.These gloves serve well in all conditions and the quality is excellent.
Nice gloves for running
December 12, 2010
I wear these gloves in cold weather to run in. They are a snug fit and keep my hands warm. I wouldn't wear these gloves for hours outside in very cold weather, I don't think they would keep my hands warm enough.
Pros: Performance, Ease of use, Great valueSeptember 24, 2010
WE LOVE THESE GLOVES. They have been in the family for years now. You can always count on feeling everything you touch with these gloves; great handling of products when shopping.

Pros: Build quality, Ease of useGood for Ohio winters-- they must be good
November 16, 2009
I like these gloves a lot. They are thin and manageable with cell phones, other fine motor. I like the material and think that my hands stayed warm until the very coldest part of February! Sizing seemed a little large.
Perfect everyday gloves for the city.
December 26, 2009
Thin, light, moderately durable. They are so well tailored that I can type with them on. They are perfectly form-fitting. No grip.
Fit like a Glove!
December 22, 2009
These truly fit well and allow for doing most things you can do without them. It's exactly what I was looking for.
Good multi-use glove!
March 14, 2008
Use as a glove liner for outdoor activities or as a stand alone glove in fall/spring. Also great for running! Your only better choice for a warmer glove liner is Icebreaker wool, and these are much more durable.
Light Weight, warm, and great
March 30, 2008
These gloves are like a second skin, Yet they are not restrictive to hand motion. They block the wind. The material is sheer enough to easily fit into an outer glove.
May 09, 2011
These are light weight fleece type gloves. I was looking for a breathable light glove for backpacking, including using trekking poles. These are it. These gloves are very well made and keep my hands warm in cool weather. They are not cold weather gloves but work very nicely as liners inside some heavy Marmot winter gloves that I have. They are not water or wind proof. They have a nice reinforcement at the thumb crotch right were trekking poles are gripped. The wrist fleece is fuzzy and comfortable, not too snug. They weigh 1.8 oz for the pair (XL). I have fairly large hands (I'm 6'1" tall) and the XL fits great.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performancedoes the job and oh so soft!
April 21, 2010
My mom wanted a pair of these, so I picked them up on Altrec and snagged a pair for myself too - so glad I did!
love them
December 23, 2009
Great for running in the winter weather. They keep my hands dry and warm.
Great thin glove, not super insulated
December 30, 2010
I'm now on my second pair of these gloves (the first pair, I lost one) and I love them. They are thin enough that you maintain dexterity but still provide a medium layer of warmth for your hands. These gloves are not windproof nor will they keep your hands super warm if they are exposed to the cold for long periods. Its a great glove for going to and from the car/store or mountain if you ski or snowboard. They are also thin enough to go inside a roomy ski glove or mitten. Be prepared to use your pockets if you are planning on being out in the cold for awhile. I don't like the huge Northface logo on the back of the hands though. Very soft. Fits well, including the cuff.
Cons: Bad designThey are good everyday gloves
November 01, 2009
I wouldn't say that they would be good snow boarding gloves because they get wet easily, but they dry decently fast. They are good everyday gloves though.
Boooooyah! Great glove - comfortable and trendy...
December 28, 2009
... nice glove - goes with all my North Face. True- go with a size smaller. I am a Womens Large and I went with the Medium. Fits perfect and oh so comfortable...light fleece on inside and smooth on outside. Not bulky at all and - this was important to me - nothing sewn on palm side of glove like extra enforcement for wear - so the lines are clean and smooth. Great for driving. Some North Face gloves I tried on have padding sewn on palms and it drove me nuts. Anyway great gloves for buying them without actually seeing them!
excellent glove
December 07, 2009
excellent glove, you can go one size small on this glove to and still be safe. the material is stretchy so by going one size smaller than normal, you'll have a skin fit.
Excellent Value
September 19, 2013
These gloves are well made and well priced. They are more suitable to fall weather, and are not warm enough for the winter. The gloves clip together so that they can be carried together, which is an excellent feature. All in all, an excellent pair of gloves for the spring and fall, and they come in many colors!
Pros: Performance, Ease of use, Great valueFinger seams disappoint...
September 15, 2012
Good quality as I expected from The North Face. The only disappointment is with the finger seams. The three piece construction (palm, back, and piece cut to about the thickness of your hand that connects the palm to the back piece) results in a seam running along the sides of your fingers (front and back). Zoom in tight on the picture ... you'll see what I mean. As a result, the gloves are actually more comfortable when turned inside - out, so that the extra material at the seams is outside vice inside the glove, and pressing in against your fingers.
Cons: Bad design, finger seams are bulkyGreat glove - nice feel
December 29, 2009
Bought the glove as a holiday gift. Feels nice, light weight. Good as a liner and or for cooler fall / spring days. We have purchased several pairs of TNF gloves before and have never been disappointed. This glove does run a little big.
Great Non-Bulky Gloves
March 06, 2008
I needed a pair of gloves for just keeping my hands warm when outside working the door at a bar and around campus. These gloves are snug and keep your hands warm without giving you all the excessive bulk and loss of dexterity most other gloves give you. I've already purchased a second pair the moment I received my first ones and tried them on.
Love Power Stretch Gloves!!!
February 06, 2011
The only type of gloves I wear during the winter is North Face Power Stretch Gloves. I've been wearing them for years now and they are great. That last long as longs you don't lose them and they keep your hands extremely work. Just try not to get them wet though cause wather seeps in easily. I love power stretch gloves!! Gotta buy a backup pair in case altrec sells out.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Ease of use, Great valueNice comfortable gloves for the price
March 03, 2011
These gloves aren't fully windproof but they're not necessarily intended to be. Very comfortable, and warm on chilly days. The grip pad at the thumb web is also a nice touch. All in all, a fine glove for the expense.
Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Great valueGood Gloves, but Unisex Sizing!
December 28, 2009
Remember: These are Unisex sizes. I have smaller hands and ordered a medium, I could have gone with a small. I will keep them though. :)

January 08, 2011
These gloves came right in time for the snow event. They are light weight, easy to use when driving, and really warm. I want several pairs.
Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueGood basic gloves
January 09, 2011
These are nice gloves for cold days. I wish they fit a bit closer to the skin, but I enjoy them.
Pros: Ease of useBest gloves my 2 boys have ever had!
January 04, 2010
My 12 year old and 15 year old love these gloves, and so do I! They are warm, and they still have the mobility they need since they aren't bulky! Highly recommend.
Nice warm glove.
August 21, 2009
runs a bit large.
great gloves
March 01, 2012
I love these gloves. These are my favorite. I wear them under my snowboard gloves, or wear them out on a cold winter day. They're great. Wish they were wind resistant though. But overall great. I have two.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of useGreat gloves
February 27, 2012
Not only are these gloves well fitting and comfortable, they held up extremely well in the little bit of winter we've had thus far. This is my third pair as I have them in gray and black as well. I can guarantee when these wear out, i'll be coming back for more.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great valuePower Stretch Gloves
March 19, 2011
The pair of gloves has been evaluated for about a month. They have a noticeable "quality" feel and offer adequate protection against mild cold conditions.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great valueWonderful Glove
November 21, 2010
Best glove every to wear for keeping warm. Not water proof but just for keeping warm or driving, it's the perfect glove for that. You still maintain good dexterity in the fingers as well.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great valueExcellent gloves
November 26, 2009
I use a prosthetic left hand and the North Face Gloves were perfect for me. Easy to put on and a nice fit. Thank you very much.

December 25, 2010
These gloves fit perfectly and appear to be well constructed. They are keeping my hands warm with wind chills in the 20s. They provide good dexterity as I am able to reach into my pocket, pull out and use my keys without removing the gloves, a plus. Would purchase again.

Press Release |
What's Behind Volatile Import Prices from China? |
January 12, 2009
Note To Editors | |
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York today released What's Behind Volatile Import Prices from China?—the latest article in its series Current Issues in Economics and Finance. Authors Mary Amiti and Donald R. Davis investigate the 6 percent rise in the price of U.S. imports from China over the 2006-08 period. The authors attribute this development—a marked reversal of earlier trends—largely to the global surge in oil and other commodity prices through mid-2008. Amiti and Davis arrive at this finding by constructing a new import price index that uses highly disaggregated data to track price movements for individual product types from 1997 to 2008. The authors note that their index represents an advance over the Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly import price index, which covers just the past five years and provides only aggregate figures for Chinese imports as a whole. The data set used by the authors, comprising roughly 8,000 different products, permits a division of U.S. imports from China into three broad end-use categories: consumer goods, capital goods and industrial supplies. With this breakdown, Amiti and Davis are able to show that the largest import price increases were concentrated in industrial supplies, while the prices of consumer and capital goods rose only moderately. Since industrial supplies are made from commodities such as rubber, wool, chemicals, fuel, steel and iron, the authors infer that the run-up in oil and commodity prices drove the higher import prices from China. In support of their conclusion, the authors show that the price movements
of industrial supply imports from China have been broadly in sync with the
movements of commodity and crude oil prices: all three series turned upward
between 2002 and 2003. Moreover, the authors demonstrate that the prices paid
by U.S. importers for industrial supplies from the rest of the world also climbed
sharply after 2002. Since the surge in oil and commodity prices was a global
phenomenon, one would expect it to boost prices of industrial supplies worldwide
if it were indeed driving the rise of Chinese import prices. Mary Amiti is an officer in the International Research Function of the Bank's Research and Statistics Group; Donald R. Davis is the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of Economics and International Affairs at Columbia University. What's Behind Volatile Import Prices from China? Contact: |

The Global Shortage Of Cotton
- Details
- Written by Alan Schwartz
We are presently witnessing an unprecedented global crisis with regard to availability and pricing of fabrics that could greatly impact the uniform business and textile industry.
The Spinners
During the economic recession of 2008/2009, the apparel industry suffered. Many yarn suppliers (spinners) to the textile industry could not survive the recession. Spinners provide the service of accumulating raw materials, primarily cotton and polyester, break it down and make thread (yarn). This yarn is then sold to mills where it is woven or knitted into fabrics.
In 2010, other countries began economic recovery faster than the United States. Presently, economies are booming in China, India and Brazil, and the recovery in Western Europe is far ahead of the U.S. As demand for apparel began to increase, and because of all of the spinners that went out of business, there was not enough spinning capacity to deal with the new higher fabric demands. China, anticipating the shortage, signed contracts to buy large amounts of yarn from Pakistan. Orders began to accumulate in Pakistan. They realized they were going to have yarn shortages due to limited capacity. They had already sold a great amount of their yarn to the Chinese. This prompted major price increases in products manufactured in Pakistan.
The Cotton Story
The four main cotton-growing regions making up more than 80% of the world's cotton production are China, India, the United States, and Pakistan.
China has one annual crop. This year, massive rains in China prevented the machinery that picks the cotton from operating, so they experienced large crop losses. Additionally, China had several earthquakes in cotton growing regions which also contributed to reductions in their harvest.
India, which has had a reasonably good crop this year, harvests cotton at various times throughout the year. The Indian government has a policy that will not allow the export of yarn to other countries until they adequately feed their own domestic consumption. Additionally, Indian exporters are now demanding significantly higher prices because they have availability of product where other places in the world do not.
Farmers in the U.S. had to make a decision eight to 10 months ago, prior to the shortages and price increases, as to what they were going to plant, and they did not plant enough cotton to compensate for future global shortages. The U.S. produces only one cotton crop per year which was harvested at the end of the summer.
Pakistan, with two growing seasons to produce cotton, had a reasonably good season in the spring, but a disaster in the fall due to massive flooding. The estimated loss in the fall was between 25 to 40 percent. All of this comes down to one factor; the law of supply and demand. When demand is high and supply is short, prices will go up.
The Polyester Story
People ask, "Why do prices rise so high when the majority of our fabrics are only 35 or 50 percent cotton?" The answer is simple; cotton and polyester prices tend to rise and fall together. Polyester producers know they can raise their prices in relation to the cotton suppliers and capitalize on the opportunity.
The Future Reality
For the first time in modern history, mills no longer quote advanced pricing on fabrics. From week to week, fabric suppliers do not know what their costs will be. Mills have refused to honor previously placed business, for fear of losing money on the deals. Prices quoted are generally honored for no more than seven days when they used to be honored for months. This is causing panic amongst suppliers and manufacturers who don't have time to negotiate agreements with consumers before the raw material prices rise again
The economies of India and China are booming. Those governments told their apparel manufacturers that their first priority is domestic consumption – prior to their export businesses. The Chinese government has intervened on behalf of the domestic manufacturers, providing a subsidy for them to control the inflationary aspect of this. The Chinese Government will not put in a subsidy for export because they are taking the position that this is a global situation and the global market should set the price for raw materials.
Over the last 30 years there have been many business cycles for the apparel industry. Prices have risen and fallen, there have been shortages and surpluses. But in recent history there has never been a situation where there were severely limited textile resources with no recovery in sight. This situation cannot be resolved until the next crops come in and you will not see another crop out of the U.S. or China for the next eight to 10 months. This problem will remain with us and, if the world continues to recover at a faster pace than the U.S., the situation may in fact worsen. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee the 2011 crops will come in at a level to bring supply and demand more in line, thus providing relief to price increases.
