| Green Q&A: Kids and last year's clothes - San Jose Mercury News Posted: 19 Aug 2010 11:57 PM PDT Q How do I get kids excited about the clothes they already have for school? A First, get organized. Take a weekend to sort through all the kids' clothes and shoes. Make sure all the school-appropriate attire gets cleaned, ironed or folded neatly. This will help you get an idea of what fits and what's missing. After you audit their wardrobe, hold on to that shopping list until after school starts and the prices begin to drop. Since pint-size clothes tend to slip off regular-size hangers, consider investing in kids' versions. I am partial to wooden hangers that also feature metal pant clips so you can create a complete outfit. Several clutter-busters have advised arranging clothes by color, and I've joined that bandwagon. It's so much easier to grab and go when all the blue pants are separate from the yellow tops, which are separate from the red blouses. (You get the idea.) Although teens and 'tweens may prefer to create outfits on the fly, younger kids will have fun stuffing wardrobe compartments organized by days of the week. Next, get creative. You have hundreds of photos stored on your computer, mobile phone and digital camera that will never see the light of day. Why not snap a few photos that actually will be put to good use? Stage a mini fashion show, complete with your kids' creative compilations, and photograph those winning outfits. Doing this over the summer might just reduce the number of arguments over appropriate attire during the school year. (One can dream, right?) When that style file is not in use as a screen saver of the family computer, let it serve as a brainstorming tool for those days when there's "absolutely, positively nothing to wear."Before you throw away jeans or cargo pants that have become a bit too short, try hemming them into stylish capri pants. If sewing isn't your thing, grab the safety pins and let your dry cleaner handle the legwork. The same rule applies to long-sleeved tops. Turn them into short-sleeved treasures to be worn under jackets and sweaters. Finally, get charitable. Once the kids have assembled their back-to-school wardrobes, direct their focus to others who are less fortunate. In this economy, plenty of students will return to school wearing last year's gear. Talk to the principal at your kids' school about creating a donations closet, then canvass the neighborhood with your kids in search of donations such as gently used jeans, sneakers and backpacks. Once your kids see the mountain of donated items put to good use, those designer duds in their closet may not seem quite so passe.

| Plenty Riding On Under Armour’s Basketball Shoe - CNBC Posted: 20 Aug 2010 09:16 AM PDT US News Page 1 of 4 | Next PageShow Entire Article Plenty Riding On Under Armour's Basketball Shoe cnbc.com | August 20, 2010 | 12:22 PM EDT As expected, getting into the shoe business hasn't been the easiest for Under Armour [ UA 36.1672 They quickly took significant market share in the first year in football and baseball cleats, but decided to slow down their move into the category after investing heavily in the training and running shoe markets and not making as much noise. On Oct. 30, the $1 billion apparel company will unveil four different versions of its Micro G basketball shoes, ranging from the Blur for $80 to Brandon Jennings' signature shoe, Black Ice, for $110. The chance to take market share is limited –- Nike [ NKE 71.13 If UA doesn't grab at least 1.5 percent by the end of 2011, I'm calling this a failure. If they take 2.5 percent, I think they have a future. If Under Armour can grab four percent of the market place in year one, I'll define it as an incredible success.
