"The concept is to get people to stop and look," said Noelle Nicks, Cole Hardware's visual merchandiser.

See-through supply chains -- putting corporate responsibilty online
Jan 14, 2008 Performance apparel manufacturers that make green claims take a lot of heat. Brands that take a strong stand seem to make other manufacturers and consumers want to poke holes in all that green goodness. It's only fair. Anyone can make vague green claims (it's called "greenwashing"), so brands that are truly making efforts to be sustainable keep looking for ways to be transparent, to communicate with customers about the entire supply chain, and create a dialogue about ever-changing manufacturing ethics. These three brands have taken their story to the most accessible platform of all -- the Web... Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Business Tools & Advice articles |

Web Extras: How another industry’s women proved they were the boss
Jul 12, 2007 It was 1993. Carolyn Cooke, then in sales at Merrell Footwear, said she felt like a “lonely little girl” wandering around the outdoor industry shows and company hallways. It seemed unfathomable that she was the only woman in this industry, but she sometimes felt as if that was the case. The following spring she met a couple of other women in the outdoor industry who would tell her about women working at various companies. “Oh, you’ve got to meet so-and-so," they'd say, but Cooke really wasn't sure how to go about meeting others who were also breaking ground in the outdoor market Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Other articles |

The Fitnex E55SG elliptical manages to be rather petite but still can hold its own when a user pushes it hard. Read Review | Comment on this review | Go to all Product Reviews |
