HARRISON, NJ – With the odds stacked against them, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (4W-4L-4D) responded by earning their first road victory of the season, coming back for a big 2-1 victory against Eastern Conference leading New York Red Bulls (7W-5L-4D) at Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
A second half own goal gave New York the lead, but tallies from Jordan Harvey and Kenny Miller gave the Blue and White all three points.
Head coach Martin Rennie made three changes to his starting lineup from this past week's Amway Canadian Championship final second leg with Greg Klazura, Jordan Harvey, and Matt Watson drawing in for Young-Pyo Lee,Gershon Koffie (quad strain) and Nigel Reo-Coker (suspended due to yellow card accumulation).
Highlights: New York Red Bulls 1 - 2 Whitecaps FC
On five minutes, the Red Bulls had their first chance of the match as Thierry Henry got in behind the 'Caps defence and fired a short shot that was caught by Brad Knighton.
In the 15th minute, Fabian Espindola broke down the left wing and fired a shot from an awkward angle as it was easily was stopped by Knighton.
Five minutes later, on 20 minutes, Juninho shot a rocket from 30 yards out, but the ball sailed over the crossbar and out.
On 31 minutes, a perfect cross into the 18-yard box by Henry landed at the feet of Espindola, but the Argentine striker was well marked by Andy O'Brien and was not able to finish.
In the 44th minute, Johnny Leveron had a chance for the 'Caps as he fired a free kick that narrowly missed the net high.
With New York dominating possession in the first half, the 'Caps looked to rebound in the second half.
Just five minutes into the second half, in the 50th minute, Henry was in alone in the box and his shot found the right post, but he was flagged offside. However, just one minute later, Henry sent Jonny Steele in on the left side and the midfielder's pass bounced off Klazura and into the net to give the Red Bulls a 1-0 lead.
Just minutes later, Klazura went down on the pitch and was immediately subbed off for Lee, who seemed to provide a spark for the visitors.
Rennie's boys were not to be beat on this day though and showed their resolve to pick themselves up and get back into the match.
The equializer came on 58 minutes as Harvey found a loose ball in the box and smashed it emphatically into the top corner, taking out his frustration from Wednesday to level the match at 1-1.
In the 69th minute, a turnover led to Camilo having a great chance to give his side the lead, but his shot outside the box was stopped by Luis Robles.
The match took another turn in favour of the 'Caps later on. A hard takedown of Kenny Miller by Jamison Olave in the 74th minute led to his second yellow card of the match, giving the 'Caps a man advantage for the remainder of the affair, which proved to be a decisive factor in the final 15 minutes.
That man advantage helped the 'Caps get their winner in the 83rd minute, as the Blue and White took the lead when Russell Teibert made a beautiful cross into the 18-yard box, where Miller leaped past his defender and headed the ball into the net to give the 'Caps a 2-1 lead.
Vancouver had a pair of chances to put the match away but were denied to keep the finish tense.
On 88 minutes, second half substitute Kekuta Manneh nearly scored as he was alone on Robles, but his slow tap could not reach the net.
In added time, in the 92nd minute, Teibert received a beautiful pass from Miller, but his eventual shot went over the crossbar.
On 95 minutes, with seconds remianing, the Red Bulls nearly netted a late equalizer when Peguy Luyindula had a chance inside the box, but Knighton was there to snag his weak lob effort.
In the end the 'Caps were able to hold on to their lead as they walked out of Red Bull Arena with a 2-1 win, giving New York their first loss since April 13 and awarding the 'Caps with their first road win of the season.
"It's a big thing to come back so quickly from a disappointment like that and come to a tough place like this," said Rennie after the match. "I thought it showed great character from the players, they worked really hard, it was hot conditions as well today, and really, you know, in the end we could've made it easier for ourselves, but, you know, in the end we're just happy to get the win."
Next up, the Blue and White head to Seattle to face Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday, June 8 at CenturyLink Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

"What's the use of a fine house," asked Henry David Thoreau "if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?" Though spoken over 150 years ago, his words ring truer than ever today, as climate change becomes an evermore pressing issue. It makes sense that our homes should be the first place where we try to decrease our energy consumption, and not just for our benefit. As green homes have become more desirable, so their value has increased too. Here are few innovations that could transform your property into an eco-home.
Solar roof panels are the most recognised eco-friendly apparatus and their implementation can often be subsidised by a governmental loan or tax incentive too. Each panel traps sunlight and converts it into power, which if not used in your own home, may be purchased from you by your local electricity supplier. Completely off-the-grid solar homes can store the excess power in batteries for use another time, or use it to heat water.
Starting from scratch
New builds or extensions can take advantage of green building materials. Concerns have been raised about the amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in traditional products such as laminate flooring and drywall bricks. This is due to the unhealthy vapours and gases that can be emitted from these sources, affecting human health. Green building with straw, recycled stone, bamboo or recycled metal however means much lower levels of toxicity and extra green points for using renewable resources.
Run your smart home with a smartphone
Some green inventions are so smart that they can detect whether you are at home or not, and react accordingly, saving both money and energy. Thermostats fitted with occupancy sensors conserve power by turning the heat up or down depending on the temperature. They can even adapt to your expected homecoming times, and create your preferred ambient temperature from the moment you step in the door. The added bonus is that all of this can be controlled remotely from a smartphone, so if you're running late the thermostat won't waste energy heating an empty home. These brilliant energy saving devices are also hugely popular with buyers and have the potential to add a large amount of value to your property.
Clever windows and air quality control
Among the latest developments in green technology are smart windows, which automatically block or allow in heat depending on the weather conditions. Although not yet readily available they are set to become a highly desired addition to energy-conscious homes. An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is another handy device to regulate indoor temperature, while also improving the quality of incoming air by filtering out all particles, and boosting or lowering humidity on demand. The ERV also takes out stale household odours, chemicals from cleaning products and gases from cooking, replacing them with fresh air from outside. This can also result in significant benefits for those who suffer from allergies.
Engel & Völkers has been at the forefront of the real estate industry for 30 years and as a result we're well-versed in the latest developments in green technology.

Mammoth Lakes Repertory brings 'Dial M for Murder' to Edison Theatre for three-week run
Whodunit fans will have a thrilling murder mystery on their hands when the Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre debuts "Dial M for Murder" at Edison Theatre on March 31.
Written by Frederick Knott and directed by Shira Dubrovner, Dial M enjoyed a long run on Broadway before it was transformed into the infamous Hitchcock thriller released by Warner Brothers in 1954.
The cast of local residents begins with Clay Tyson as Tony Wendice, a retired professional tennis player with a jealous penchant for killing his wealthy wife, Margot Wendice. A newcomer to the stage, Tyson is a ski instructor on Mammoth Mountain and loves the theater. "He's working so hard," Dubrovner said.
Jessica Blum, last seen as Anne Frank, is blossoming in the role of Margot Wendice, according to Dubrovner.
"She captures that innocent, kind, sweet vulnerability of the role" that was inhabited by Grace Kelly in the 1954 movie.
Ted Carleton, whom audiences loved in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "I Hate Hamlet," is back on stage as Max Halliday, Margot's lover and the murderer's nemesis. This role was deftly played in the movie by the late Robert Cummings.
"The reason I like doing these plays is because I think it's important to get out of one's comfort zone every once in awhile. And it's fun,"' Carleton said.
Grant Bentley (Inspector Hubbard) was last seen as Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol.
Scottie Marzonie is Captain Lesgate, the con artist Tony Wendice hires to kill his wife. A veteran of the annual murder mystery, this is Marzonie's first play.
But there's no such thing as a perfect murder, and this nailbiter makes director Shira Dubrovner happy as a fresh snowfall.
Dial M is Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre Artistic Director Shira Dubrovner's most recent suspense thriller since she directed the highly reviewed Los Angeles run of Ira Levin's Veronica's Room in 2006.
"It's always fun to thrill an audience," said Dubrovner about directing Dial M. "The challenge is to help the audience predict what's going to happen before the characters onstage know.
" It's not an easy play and I'm pushing the actors. In a musical we concentrate on the songs and movement. In this play we concentrate on the acting. It's a wordy, well-written play.
"I love thrillers and mysteries," Dubrovner said. "It's fun to excite the audience. Part of the challenge is in the audience starting to see things before the characters do. It's a heavy drama to sink one's teeth into."

Crisis Informatics
by Chris Hagar, Guest Editor
The world seems to be facing crises on an unprecedented scale. A crisis an interruption in the reproduction of economic, cultural, social and/or political life encompasses a whole range of situations [1. 123-125]. This year we have witnessed major natural disasters in Haiti, Chile and China that have claimed thousands of lives. As well as coping with such natural disasters, the world has faced other types of crises, for example, human-made crises such as terrorism attacks (9/11, Mumbai bombings), the spread of human and animal viral disease (H1N1, foot-and-mouth disease), nuclear and chemical crises (Bhupal, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island), war and many more. With advances in information and communication technologies, every crisis is more likely to be seen widely throughout the world [2, p. 9].
Crisis situations have been studied from a risk communication perspective, from a management perspective, from a systems perspective and more recently from an information perspective. Crises usually present complex information environments. The management of information before, during and after a disaster is critical. It can have a direct influence on how well the crisis is managed [3].
Events such as Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 and the Haiti earthquake have demonstrated that there is a great need to understand how individuals and government and non-government agencies collect, organize, manage, access, share, coordinate and disseminate information within communities during crisis situations. Information management problems and information technology failures have been cited as significant factors in the failed responses to many crises. In 2002 the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science Trust and Terror report [4] highlighted new demands for crisis information dissemination and management. Post-crisis reports have devoted sections to information and communication lessons learned (Katrina; foot and mouth disease) [5, 6]
Information challenges in a crisis include:
- Information overload or, conversely, lack of information
- Changing information needs at various stages of a crisis: preparedness, warning, impact, response, recovery and reconstruction
- The many diverse actors and agencies involved who increase the amount of information produced
- Integration and coordination of information by these actors and agencies
- The connection of informal and formal channels of information creation and dissemination
- Information uncertainty
- Trustworthy sources of information
- Conflicting information
- Getting the right information to the right person at the right time
Crisis informatics is an emerging, interdisciplinary area of study. The term was first coined by Hagar, 2006 [7] and is broadly defined as the interconnectedness of people, organizations, information and technology during crises. Informatics often relates to the development of new uses for information technology and focuses on how people transform technology and how technology transforms people [8]. This definition of crisis informatics also includes the important human ways of communicating and disseminating information that play a key role when technology infrastructure breaks down during a crisis. Crisis informatics strives for socially and behaviorally informed development of ICT for crisis situations [9]. To pursue work in this area, researchers at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder have formed a crisis informatics research group.
This growing interdisciplinary field is not only of interest to a variety of practitioners, researchers and academics in information science, knowledge management and information systems, but also to other fields, such as government, state and local emergency management and planning; non-government organizations; risk management; communications; community planners; and public health.
The papers in this special issue give a snapshot of some of the ongoing research and practice in crisis informatics and emergency response work in various parts of the world: Indonesia, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United States. Contributors are from departments of communications, information management, applied IT, computer science and a U.S. state office of security and emergency preparedness.
The first paper, written by Leysia Palen, Kate Starbird, Sarah Vieweg and Amanda Hughes, Twitter-based Information Distribution during the 2009 Red River Valley Flood Threat, discusses social media usage during a crisis and assesses the credibility of citizen journalism and user-generated media. It reports on Twitter communications that took place during the flooding of the Red River Valley in the United States and Canada in March and April 2009. An analysis of tens of thousands of tweets sent during the flood threat period identifies mechanisms for information production, distribution and organization in use in the otherwise unwieldy information space of microblogging.
From a traditional technology perspective in The Use of Community Radio in Managing Natural Disasters in Indonesia, Mario Antonius Birowo discusses the various roles of community radio in disseminating and coordinating information in natural disaster management in Indonesia. Radio stations have played key roles in crisis information management in sharing information between NGOs, distributing information about health and safety, and connecting missing people. The Indonesian community radios responses to the natural disasters are unique in that their volunteer reporters, unlike journalists from the mainstream media, are directly involved in the community.
Libraries and information centers can play important roles in crises by directing the many stakeholders in crises, such as citizens, experts and policy-makers, to trustworthy sources of information. In this new role, libraries have responded to hurricanes and other disasters by taking steps to better prepare for the information needs of their communities arising from emergency situations. Lauren H. Mandel, Charles R. McClure, John Brobst and Elena C. Lanz report in Helping Libraries Prepare for the Storm with Web Portal Technology on the web portal developed as part of the Improving Florida Public Libraries Hurricane/Disaster Preparedness and Response project carried out by the Information Institute, Florida State University. The portal organizes and disseminates a range of information on how public libraries can assist local communities in preparing for and recovering from hurricanes and other disasters.
Two of the papers in this special issue address emergency response work. Jonas Landgren and Fredrik Bergstrand in Mobile Live Video in Emergency Response: Its Use and Consequences discuss the emergence of consumer-oriented mobile live video technology and how this technology will change how response workers will stay informed. Results from field tests in Sweden of using such consumer-oriented technologies in professional response settings suggest that the relationship between the general public and professional responders will evolve and over time a closer collaboration across these distinct groups will form. They argue that a combination of grassroots-generated information (as created and retrieved by different forms of social media) with official information is the way forward in emergency management.
In a second paper on emergency response, Sense-making and Information Management in Emergency Response, Willem Muhren and Bartel Van de Walle investigate the way people (humanitarian actors working in the Democratic Republic of Congo) manage and process information and how it helps them make sense of what is going on. The authors explore how actors can be supported in coping with ambiguity and equivocality in information processing problems.
Finally, Gaston Armour in Communities Communicating with Formal and Informal Systems: Being More Resilient in Times of Need discusses using traditional and non-traditional methods in communicating information in times of crises. Armour describes emergency preparedness and response initiatives in the state of Illinois and emphasizes the importance of communicating across informal and formal systems and how local communities can potentially act as command centers for disaster response and coordinate efforts between the formal and informal systems.
A trend identified in many of the papers is the redefinition of the top-down control and command approach to crisis information management towards community-based grass-roots strategies whereby access to information and knowledge is created and disseminated by citizens using a mix of methods: social media tools (for example, photo and video sharing, text messaging); traditional technologies (e.g., radio), and person-to-person interaction at a local community level. Citizen information seekers become information providers. It is critical that information from informal and formal channels is coordinated, integrated and aligned into the official crisis response.
These papers cover a snapshot of some of the information perspectives concerning crises. It is important that we do the following:
- Understand the importance of information in the various stages of crisis, preparation response and recovery
- Develop the capability to analyze complex information needs and information-seeking in a crisis
- Gain an understanding of the factors that impact the integration and coordination of information in a crisis and investigate how technologies and human-centered approaches can support communities in a crisis.
One thing is certain: The world will face more crises, and we need to be prepared for a variety of scenarios.
My sincere thanks to each contributing author for sharing your time and expertise with the wider community a lot of valuable work that can make a difference in times of crisis and emergency needs to be done.

Former Hannibal man planted North Main Street sweet gum trees.
When the Hannibal Parks & Recreation Department authorized the removal of two sweet gum trees from North Main Street in early December, nothing was known about who planted them and when they were planted. The mystery of who planted the trees was solved last week when Jim Crowell and his wife, Jane, paid a visit to America's Hometown.
Crowell, who now lives in Virginia Beach, Va., started Grand View Nursery in the mid 1970s after joining his parents in Hannibal following his 1973 discharge from the U.S. Navy. It was at about that time that he planted the sweet gums at the eastern end of the public parking lot in the street's 300 block.
"I don't remember who we went through but it seems like somebody asked me to do that project," he said. "I'm not even certain if I got paid for it or if it was a donation. I remember planting two trees, one on each side of that park, and some shrubs."
While anyone who ever rolled an ankle on one of the trees' "fruit" balls probably questioned the wisdom of planting sweet gums downtown, according to Crowell it made sense at the time.
"Sweet gums were real popular in this area. They were easy to grow and grew fairly rapidly, probably 3-foot a year, so it was easy for growers to grow those," he said. "They were very vertical growing instead of wide. If we had planted a maple tree that would have probably taken up maybe 40 to 60 feet across. That sweet gum was probably 60 feet tall at maturity and probably only 25 or 30 feet (wide), so only half the width. I'm suggesting that's why somebody chose that."
Crowell admits being surprised to learn the sweet gums were still healthy and thriving when they were removed.
"That's a kind of a harsh environment. During the summertime it's very hot and in the wintertime it's very cold," he said. "Probably because the buildings were two- to three-story buildings that protected them from certain winds that might possibly hurt them. They were in good soil and protected."
Crowell only learned Friday that the trees had been removed. He took the news in stride.
"My gosh that would have been almost 35 years ago when those trees were planted. That's a long time. But everything has its life," he said. "It's interesting that trees which were only 6 to 8 feet when they were planted would grow that long and end up being that big. I guess they shaded that street and shaded that little park."
The removal of the two sweet gums is part of a $30,000 renovation of that area, according to Andy Dorian, director of the Parks & Recreation Department.
"We thought while they were doing this (sidewalk replacement) and we were redoing the Jake Beckley site, we might as well redo the whole thing and get some trees in here that are a little bit better suited for a sidewalk," said Dorian, noting that the sweet gum balls had been a source of complaints for years.
"There are better (tree) choices now that do not drop gum balls," said Crowell, who has been involved in the planting of over 6,000 trees and plants in Virginia Beach.

A year after fearing his career was over, Greg Rutherford defied the doubters who branded his Olympic gold a fluke by landing the Commonwealth long jump title in Glasgow.
The 27-year-old launched himself out to 8.20 metres to take victory and put the memories of his injury-ruined 2013 season firmly behind him.
The Milton Keynes athlete came into the event ranked number one in the world following his British record jump in April and lived up to expectations, coming out on top in his battle with South Africa's Zarck Visser by eight centimetres.
"It's a fantastic feeling. This is ultimately why we do it," he said.
"The early mornings, the hard sessions. That cliche of blood, sweat and tears - this is why you do it, to stand on top of the podium with a gold medal."
Rutherford started impressively with a first leap of 8.12m, but was knocked down to second on countback when Visser went out to the same distance with his second jump.
The Englishman hit right back, though, going out to 8.20m with his very next jump to the roars of the packed Hampden Park crowd.
His next effort was even bigger, but a marginal foul earned him a red flag.
It was a flag bearing the cross of St George which Rutherford draped round his shoulders shortly after, though, as, beaming the broadest smile inside the packed stadium, he embarked on his lap of honour.
Rutherford, who famously won gold along with Jessica Ennis-Hill and Mo Farah on Super Saturday at London 2012, hit the comeback trail this year after a nightmare 2013 campaign in which he split with his coach Dan Pfaff, lost his sponsorship deal with Nike and suffered a hamstring tear so serious it left him questioning his future in the sport.
He failed to make the final at the World Championships in Moscow last August and the critics, including former athletes, were quick to start sniping.
Having linked up with young coach Jonas Tawiah-Dodoo last autumn, though, he has returned to form, jumping out to 8.51m in April, although the leap sparked sparked controversy as his team-mate Chris Tomlinson claimed it was a "large foul" and should be scrapped from the record books.
There was no doubting his performance at Hampden, though, even if he had been unsure of his fitness going into the final because of a hamstring problem.
"People are always going to write you off. The Olympics came as a shock to some people, but I had been working so hard for that moment in London," he said.
"This year I have probably been working beyond hard to make sure that I could win a major title again. It wasn't the most incredible distance in the world but I knew that I could do it.
"I considered quitting at one point with my hamstring. I thought my career might be over, so the fact I have managed to win a major championship is just amazing.
"It's a fantastic feeling. This is ultimately why we do it. It wasn't the most incredible performance in the world in terms of distance, but to come away with a gold medal is fantastic.
"It proves everything I have been doing is the right thing to be doing. My fourth-round jump could have been a really big talking point.
"My therapist drove up from London to treat me and (110m hurdles silver medallist) Will Sharman because I was worried my hamstring wasn't going to hold up. It had been giving me gip. But I held up and managed to win a major championship, which is amazing."
Tomlinson had to make do with fifth place, while the third Englishman in the final, JJ Jegede, was seventh.
Tomlinson said: "The bottom line is Greg was the best long jumper there and deserved to win and he won it."
There was more medal success for England as Jessica Taylor took heptathlon bronze, but disappointment for Martyn Rooney, who had to settle for fourth place as the imperious Kirani James, the 21-year-old Olympic champion from Grenada, took 400m gold in a Games record 44.24 seconds.
Rooney, who had looked so impressive in the semi-finals on Tuesday, left himself too much work to do down the home straight as all three medallists dipped well under 45 seconds.
He said: "The guys ran very fast and what I thought would medal would have come fourth anyway. The other guys ran very well."
In the absence of new mum Ennis-Hill and her heir apparent Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the 26-year-old Taylor produced her best on the big stage, finishing with 5826 points to hold on to a podium place.
Elsewhere, home favourite Eilish McColgan, whose mother and coach Liz won Commonwealth gold over 10,000m in Edinburgh in 1986, came home sixth in the 3,000m steeplechase as Purity Cherotich Kirui led home a Kenyan one-two-three.
England's Chris Baker had to settle for fourth in the high jump, missing out on bronze on countback after clearing 2.25m.

Fascinating as sci-fi, paltry as a parable, Blindness is one of the movie year's most daring failures. This fable about an epidemic of "white blindness" from the gritty Brazilian Fernando Meirelles looks and feels like an I Am Legend for grown ups.
In a modern, cosmopolitan city, a driver stops in traffic. He has gone blind, but he's not in the dark. All he can see is white light. The man who offers to drive him home and then steals his car suffers a similar fate. The ophthalmologist he visits (Mark Ruffalo) is stumped. And then he, too, is infected.
Julianne Moore is the doctor's simpler wife, a woman who wonders if this possibly psychosomatic illness has to do with faith, a literal losing one's way. As the contagion spreads and her husband is among those carted off to quarantine, she goes with him. But she can still see. She's immune.
The film settles in behind the bars of the long-closed asylum where the wife keeps her secret and becomes caretaker and nurse to the newly blind. People whose lives crossed don't realize it. A hooker is held with a pharmacist she insulted, the thief with the man whose car he stole, the patients of the doctor's medical practice, all locked up on pain of death by a paranoid military working on behalf of a paranoid nation.
The blind stumble about, abandon clothes and live in their own filth. The husband-wife dynamic is reversed as he becomes totally dependent on her. They have no idea what's happening in the nation at large.
Eventually, competing wards form into a Lord of the Flies as the strong and thug-like, led by a bartender ( Gael Garcia Bernal), prey on the rest, holding the dwindling food supplies hostage.
Meirrelles (The Constant Gardener, City of God), working from a José Saramago novel, plays around with light and sight, blurring or over-saturating his images, cutting off heads in conversations (think The Diving Bell and the Butterfly). He creates one of the most vivid screen end-of-the-world dystopias of recent memory.
But aside from a few cracks about the wife as "a leader with vision," there doesn't seem to be much point. There's no moral to the story, save the one we can all guess when we hear this film's plot. When civilization breaks down, humanity goes out the window. You don't need 20/20 vision to see that.

Total research funding to the University of Rochester jumped by 18 percent in 2010 to $415 million an increase of more than $64 million over the previous year and an amount that is double what the University received 11 years ago.
"This growth in research funding is extraordinary, particularly given the economic climate in which it occurred," said Joel Seligman, president of the University of Rochester. "It is a testament to not only the talent of the University's scientific community, but it also represents an affirmation of the strategic investments in research infrastructure made by this institution with public and private support."
During the same period, the University was also awarded an additional $42.7 million in research funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). These funds were intended to provide an important, but temporary, boost in academic research and development activity and are set to expire in 2011. The University's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.
The University of Rochester witnessed growth from all federal sources and across nearly all divisions. Excluding ARRA, research funding from major sources such as the National Institutes of Health ($211 million), the National Science Foundation ($16 million), and the Department of Energy ($73 million) grew by 17 percent, 34 percent, and 29 percent, respectively. The University also was awarded $8 million in funding from the Empire State Stem Cell Board in 2010.
Again, excluding ARRA, awards to the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences rose by 37 percent, with the Departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering showing a combined increase of $5.5 million. The School of Arts and Sciences was up by 26 percent, propelled by the Departments of Biology, Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Chemistry, and Clinical and Social Psychology, which collectively received $26.7 million in 2010. The Medical Center which experienced growth in the key fields such as neuromedicine, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disease, pediatrics, cancer, and immunology and infectious disease saw its research funding jump by $35.7 million over the previous year.
"Pound for pound, our faculty are among the most successful and productive in the nation in attracting research dollars," said Ralph Kuncl, Ph.D., M.D., provost of the University of Rochester. "Research and development funding is the lifeblood of innovation and the University of Rochester has a strong track record of leveraging its research activity into new ideas and technologies that both benefit the greater society and strengthen the local region's economy."
Over the last several years, the University has made significant new investments in research facilities, including the Goergen Hall for Biomedical Engineering and Optics, the Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute, the Sproull Center for Ultra High Intensity Laser Research, and the new James P. Wilmot Cancer Center. Next year, the University will open the doors on the new Clinical and Translational Science Building.
"Research funding is driven by investments in people, resources, and facilities," said Bradford C. Berk, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of the University of Rochester Medical Center. "The steady growth that has transpired over the last 15 plus years is the result of a commitment to bring together the brightest scientific minds and provide them with the resources, collaborative environment, and state-of-the-art facilities necessary to produce the best science."

Gustav Volunteers Return From Trip
Top HeadlinesDate: September 11, 2008
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 269-471-3348
When Andrews University students awoke last Thursday morning, Sept. 4, few had any clue that by the end of the day they would be on a bus headed for Louisiana's Hurricane Gustav affected region. But after a flurry of activity, last-minute planning and packing, shortly after 7 p.m., 42 students, staff and faculty were on a bus headed south.
On Wednesday morning, Sept. 3, Jeff Boyd, director of WeCare Missions, was asked to organize and lead a mission trip to the region damaged by Hurricane Gustav. A whirlwind of planning ensued and by Wednesday evening, a plan was in place. Announcements were made in the residence halls about this last-minute outreach opportunity and the next morning at chapel, there was a final call for volunteers. But time—and funds—were scarce.
Keri Self, office coordinator for Campus Ministries, was on the front lines for trip registration. "After chapel, I didn't even have time to get back to Campus Ministries before the line started forming. And I wasn't walking slow!"
Rearranging work schedules and checking in with professors took top priority, not to mention packing for the trip. Latoya Wolfe, a graduate student, had particularly busy weekend plans that required last-minute cancellation: speaking for Fusion, the ministry fair, standing up as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and helping to organize another friend's wedding reception. "As a Christian, sometimes God calls for us to drop everything and follow him," says Wolfe. "I know I'll never be the same [after the trip]. I'm still processing it."
One student had the desire to serve but lacked the financial means to cover the cost of the trip. "He called a few times to see if anyone had offered to sponsor students. I put him on a waiting list," says Self. "That afternoon, he showed up with his bag packed and a sleeping bag—he was ready to go even if the funds weren't in place yet." In what can only be described as an answer to prayer, when people started boarding the busses, the student learned a sponsor donated funds and he was able to go.
At the end of an already long day, with heavy rain falling and a police escort leading the way, the group departed from the Pioneer Memorial Church parking lot. Excited conversation ensued as new friendships were forged. Sleep, for many, came much later. Minus a few stops to eat and stretch, the bus drove for 19 hours straight before arriving at 2:30 p.m., Friday afternoon, at the Adventist Convention Center in Hammond, La.
Representatives from Louisiana Adventist Community Services (ACS) were on location as well as the Michigan Conference Adventist Disaster Response Communication Team and trailer.
The group quickly went to work settling into their temporary warehouse-style lodging. Bunk beds had to be assembled, the kitchen readied for use and the generator fueled up. The center had limited electricity. Hot water was an absent luxury: showers were chilly and short. Meanwhile, a team of five headed to the Seventh-day Adventist church near Baton Rouge to clean up debris.
On Sabbath morning, the volunteers were eager to be of service to those in need. Three trucks full of blankets and cleaning supplies were unloaded, while elsewhere the work of assembling 100 clean-up kits was underway. Three chainsaw teams headed out into the community to clear debris from yards.
"One elderly lady who had lost her husband this year was especially thankful for the help. She said no one had helped her before," recalled Boyd.
Later that day, comfort kit and clothing distribution was the main focus. Between two shelters, more than 900 individuals were served. "I was talking to a group of survivors at the distribution site. I mentioned the students were living in much the same conditions as they were: electricity was out, generator providing lights and no hot water. They were amazed the students were willing to come to help and live in the same conditions they found themselves in," said Joe Watts, ACS disaster relief director. "It reminded me of Christ. Christ was willing to come into this world and live in the same conditions as the ones He came to help."
The trip was about more than helping others in need: it was also a time to connect with each other and Christ. Sabbath evening the group worshipped and shared together. They told of God's work in their lives; of coming to Andrews University; of their shared desire for coming on the trip, and of their journey toward spiritual growth. Some did all four. "It was a very positive and meaningful time," said Boyd.
One student revealed he had three specific prayer requests answered, which enabled him to come on the trip: a friend paid his registration fee, a professor rescheduled a test and the last person on the work-sub call list was willing to cover his final work assignment.
With fulfilled hearts following a full day, the group got some much-needed rest. The following morning, clean-up kits were distributed, more debris was cleared and the convention center was cleaned and readied for the team's departure. The bus departed Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. and arrived back to campus at 5:30 a.m. Monday morning.
"The Gustav trip was really eye-opening: to see how people can be so thankful for something as simple as a change of clothes," says Bradley Austin, junior photography major. "This was a Christian journey of action. We were Christ's disciples, involved in hands-on ministry."

Our program also places an emphasis on power engineering. Smart grid, wind and solar energy, electric cars—all will change the way power is transmitted, distributed and utilized in the next decade. The pressing need to upgrade the country's aging power grid, coupled with projections that up to 50% of electric utility engineers will be eligible to retire in the next five years, means a stronger potential market for electrical engineers than ever before. To address these critical national needs, the Suffolk electrical engineering program has worked with our partners in the electric power industry to emphasize power concepts throughout our curriculum so that graduates of our program are ready to meet the challenges. As a result, we have students who are recipients of the IEEE Power and Energy Society Scholarships and intern in the electric power industry.
Beyond the Classroom
Electrical Engineering students take their knowledge beyond the classroom. They work one-on-one with professors on research projects, study abroad in locations as far away as Australia and Turkey, and test their skills in competitions with engineers from other colleges. There are several ways for students to get involved:
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Suffolk is home to a chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the field's premier professional organization. IEEE also hosts the annual Micromouse Competition, at which individual students and teams compete to build the robot that navigates a maze the fastest. Suffolk students have enjoyed great success at the regional finals of this nationwide contest.
Technology and Science Initiative (TaSI)
Suffolk students also benefit by participating in the Technology and Science Initiative (TaSI). TaSI gives undergraduates the chance to undertake cutting-edge research projects with Suffolk professors and industrial professionals.

- energy saving from high-efficiency windows
- air temperature sensor
- heat transfer in fish tanks
- moisture in soil sensors
Study AbroadEngineering is a global profession involving multinational companies and quite often, teams from one nation will be working with teams from several others. It is vital for engineers to understand how culture affects how people prioritize and make decisions. Our study abroad programs give students the experience to understand the nuances and sensitivities needed to work successfully with engineers from abroad.
Suffolk offers several study abroad options with Electrical Engineering courses taught in English:

Annapolis jumps on the once-a-week bandwagon
This bandwagon is a trash truck, and it's picking up speed in Maryland
On September 10, the city of Annapolis reduced its trash and recycling pickup from two days to once a week.
Anne Arundel County made the same move in June, reaping countians a savings of $17 on their solid-waste disposal fee, now $298.
Annapolitans will do better in increased saving and services. With the city's switch from government to private pick-up, city dwellers' bills drop to $380 from $426, for a savings of $46.
Savings are collective as well as individual. "Recycling is compounded with single-day pick-up," Jarrell says.
Regular big-item pick-up sweetens the shift for Annapolitans. Smaller bulk items — up to 20 pounds — will be picked up along with bagged or canned trash. Recycling will be picked up by a separate truck the same day. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are trash and recycling days, falling on a neighborhood's old recycling day. Wednesday does double duty as yard waste day for the whole city and pick-up day, on demand, for up to two big bulk items.
Inconvenience is slight. There's been no general rebellion in Anne Arundel — though fish and crab eaters like retired Washington Post columnist Angus Phillips of Annapolis have complained of the summer pungency of their trash.
Calvert Countians might sniff at any fuss. Except in the two incorporated towns, North Beach and Chesapeake Beach, and in subdivisions that buy community-wide pick-up, you carry your own trash and recycling to a county waste center. For that convenience, home and business owners pay a fee of $150.

150 students, faculty and supporters rallied for the maintenance of the current sports program at UNCW.
Wednesday was a perfect day to celebrate in Wilmington.
The sun splashed down on the UNCW campus, illuminating a gathering of 150 students, faculty and supporters rallying for the maintenance of the current sports program at the university.
Eight speakers took to the steps of Trask Coliseum, echoing all the key words about why men's and women's swimming, men's indoor track and cross country and women's softball should not be eliminated: Virtue, family, integrity. A few caustic words creeped in: demolish, devastate.
The applause was hearty. The smiles were infectious. The stories numerous. A pickup truck rolled down Wagoner Drive, its driver honking the horn and proclaiming, "Save UNCW swimming!"
After all the speeches and thank yous, a call was made for all current and former swimmers and divers gather for a photo with longtime coach Dave Allen.
They posed, some with arms around each other. Maybe to get everyone in the frame, maybe they weren't quite ready to let go.
Because while Wednesday's event was a chance to be strong and united, the cautious tones, and even a tear or two, by the end of the day reflected it was a wake for UNCW athletics – and everyone knows it.
The funeral comes soon. What dies off, we don't quite know. But drastic changes are coming. We will say goodbye to something – almost certainly a program or two, undoubtedly the way things used to be.
"It's stressful," said Shaun Hill, a 2001 UNCW graduate and four-year swimmer. "I'm worried about the time period until we hear, thinking about the swimmers still at UNCW. What are their thoughts about their future? It's hard to process that."
During his time with the microphone, Allen asked Chancellor Gary Miller and the Board of Trustees for even more dialogue before a decision is made on nearly $800,000 in recommended funding changes made by a university-appointed committee.
Miller has encouraged rebuttal before; he allowed the UNCW women's basketball team a similar audience a year ago when it changed head coaches. However, the final decision this summer certainly will disappoint. Allen's call that students, athletes and coaches remain willing "to do more with less" is chivalrous, but that sentiment is not shared by those watching over UNCW athletics with a neutral eye.
"They're obviously worried," softball coach Kristy Norton said of her players. "They chose UNCW as their home, they love the school, they love the area, they love playing softball every day, working their tails off every day.
"Their reaction has been: Now what do we do? Unfortunately, the only thing we can do is be patient."
But how do you unring a death knell? Is there a right combination of words and actions that will save one program, or all of them?
"What can we do to continue this program besides a rally?" asked Colleen Johns, a member of
UNCW's first Division I swim program in the mid-1980s.
Even Allen, whose words rang brave and bold on Wednesday, isn't sure.
"I wake up in the middle of the night, I haven't been sleeping very well, but that's OK," Allen said. "If something productive comes out of this, it's worth it. I dearly love this university, and I just can't imagine it going forward without this."

Priests for Life criticizes the claims made by "Self" magazine against pregnancy care centers that do not perform or refer for abortions. "Self" claims that these centers are anti-woman.
"The claims made by Self Magazine show that the pro-abortion movement does not provide for the needs of women," said Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "So many women resort to abortion precisely because they feel they do not have the resources and support necessary for them to continue their pregnancy. Pregnancy care centers provide honest support and encouragement for these women."

It is hard enough to be well-adjusted while raised under typical circumstances, but Annie (Child A) and Buster (Child B) spent their childhood as players in their parent's mischief disguised as art (or is it art disguised as mischief?). They have spent their adult years attempting to distance themselves from their famous artist parents, but when their new lives start to fall apart, they find themselves back under their parent's roof.
In his debut novel, The Family Fang, Kevin Wilson introduces us to the Fang family. With disdain for traditional art forms, Caleb and Camille Fang choose unexpected public performance art as their medium and have included their children in all of their greatest pieces. When their children return home, Caleb and Camille plan one final performance, and Annie and Buster are participants whether they want to be or not. The quirky story (think Wes Anderson meets Arrested Development) is bolstered by flash-back chapters that help the reader better understand the character's motives and gives clues to the final outcome. Exceptionally written and a fun read, this book should please fans of Zadie Smith and Karen Russell.

The Moncrief Petroleum Geology Program is for students planning careers as geoscientists in the oil and gas industry, as well as careers in resource assessment, energy policy and graduate studies. Students graduating from the program receive the Bachelor of Science in Geology: Petroleum Geology Emphasis.
Strong Support from Alumni and Donors
Western's Petroleum Geology Program launched in 2002, thanks to a $1 million endowment from Western alumnus Paul Rady, CEO of Antero Resources. Rady followed up in 2014 with another $1.5 million gift. Another $2.5 million in gifts from legendary oilman W.A. "Tex" Moncrief Jr. of Ft. Worth, Texas, in 2005 and 2007, established the "Moncrief Petroleum Geology Program." This further strengthened the program and demonstrates the significance of Western's efforts within the industry. Interested students and sponsors can contact Dr. Elizabeth Petrie or Dr. Bradford Burton.
- About half of all geoscientists are set to retire during the next 10 years. Companies WILL replace them.
- A hiring boom was experienced in the late 1970s and early '80s within the petroleum, mining, environmental, engineering, government and academic geology areas. As these individuals retire, job opportunities for college graduates are expanding.
- In recent years, a hiring boom has brought career opportunities at all levels. This translates into a 10 percent to 20 percent rise in salaries for professional geologists with less than two years' experience. During the past 10 years, the number of people enrolling in geoscience programs has been steady, and according to AGI (American Geological Institute www.agiweb.org), only about 15 percent of those who enroll actually enter the geologic professional pipeline. This means there are far fewer graduates than their are positions to fill.
Who Should Pursue a Degree in Petroleum Geology?
Geology is fundamentally a field science. We collect information about natural systems and use this information to understand geologic process, to explore for natural resources and to guide environmental stewardship. Working as a geologist requires strong skills in spatial thinking, visualization and creativity, along with a sound foundation in the basic physics, chemistry and mathematics, all of which provide you with an ability to take large, sometimes fragmented datasets to understand natural processes.
In addition to the field aspects of our work, many professional geologists are model natural systems, requiring some interest in working with technology, computer programming, database management and geospatial database management. Good writing and skill at communicating complex ideas, both to your peers and to laymen, improves a geology major's chance of professional success.
In addition to this broad spectrum of skills, geologists, unlike many other scientists, must consider the importance of "deep" time. Many natural changes occur at very slow rates, often requiring a geologist to consider problems over time scales much larger than the human experience.
Wired for the 21st Century
The Petroleum Geology program is housed in Hurst Hall, one of the most technologically sophisticated science buildings in Colorado. Instruction occurs in the GIS/Petroleum Geology lab. The lab has thirteen student stations for highly interactive instruction and uses the most up-to-date industry software and data sets. In recent months, the petroleum industry has made investments in Western's program totaling more than $2,000,000.

The Moncrief Petroleum Geology program at Western:
- Provides students a solid academic foundation.
- Combines classroom and field study with current industry technology.
- Fosters professional contact with industry geoscientists.
- Promotes industry internships for early career reinforcement.
- Mentors students toward relevant graduate programs.
- Offers Western's Petroleum Geology Research Program, in which undergraduates engage in applied and fundamental research. Funding sources provide summer research experiences.
Why study Petroleum Geology at Western Colorado University?
In addition to the strengths of the Moncrief Petroleum Geology Program, Western is amid an extraordinary natural laboratory. Students gain a strong background in basic geology, with an emphasis on critical thinking and visualization. The local outdoor environment provides a wide range of opportunities for unique field experiences and undergraduate research opportunities. Combined with a comprehensive technology experience, and our emphasis on written and oral communication, our students are generally highly qualified for entry-level work in industry or for continued study in graduate programs throughout the country.

The Deerfield Valley spreads below these motorists driving along Whitcomb Summit in western Massachusetts. The landscape of this region is a product of hundreds of millions of years of intense geological activity. High mountains rose and eroded over millions of years. Ice Ages covered the region with sheets of ice. The land sank under the weight of ice as thick as two miles in some areas. It rose again as the glaciers melted and retreated. Waterways like the Connecticut River began shaping and cutting through the land as they flowed across the valley floor.

They run a little small, but TOUGH!
Verified Buyer Reviewed by smcphetres from Haines, Alaska on Tuesday, January 10, 2012
Our small Alaskan town has had over 13 feet of snow so far this year. The day I took these out of the box and put them on, it was raining monsoon style. I chose to forgo the Carhartt suit and just wear the pants and got completely soaked from the rain and blowing snow/rain mix.

Factory seconds !!!!!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Bob the Builder from Kentucky on Thursday, November 8, 2018If they are, I cant tell. Great product and the price is very good. I will continue to buy from STP.
Versatile work pantsVerified Buyer Reviewed by AD from NC on Tuesday, November 6, 2018Not nearly as baggy as the duck pants, and these pants are fantastic. Very happy with the price and quality of item. Fit as expected with room to move. Lighter weight than the duck pants but still durable, so a nice option for warmer days - but also good for mild weather. Very versatile pants.
CargarttVerified Buyer Reviewed by Moldguys from Massachusetts on Monday, October 22, 2018Great for work
These 2nds are 1st!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Maxine from Michigan on Wednesday, September 5, 2018Not sure why these pants are 2nds - they are first in my book! STP didn't have the inseam I needed so I purchased a longer inseam and plan to hem. Looks like it will be real easy to do. Nice durable fabric, good fit and and styling. Lots of pockets. May add a button or velcro to one of the side pockets so cell phone can't fall out. Very pleased with purchase at STP price!
Fab Deal!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Rider Mom from Washington DC on Wednesday, July 18, 2018Carhartt quality. VERY nice pants. They are made of a very thick material. Will order more!
Work PantVerified Buyer Reviewed by LabCruiser from Tennessee on Tuesday, July 17, 2018Comfortable, solidly constructed work pant. The cut allows freedom of movement to cruise timber and work in the woods. The 9.25 oz ripstop fabric holds up well in the woods. Very pleased with these well priced, factory seconds.
Rip stop work pantsVerified Buyer Reviewed by Nuckledragger from Vancouver on Friday, March 23, 2018I love these pants! I am usually about a 34 but I find carhartt bottoms are a little small so a 36 with a belt is great! I have several pairs and they are great tactical pants too! Too heavy for running of course but easy to move around in and lots of pockets.
RipstopVerified Buyer Reviewed by Jmigli from New Jersey on Thursday, January 18, 2018Quality cargo jeans. It seams that the 2nds are in the fit and some the stitching.
Good pants though.
Ripstop Cargo Factory SecondsVerified Buyer Reviewed by Bryan from Colorado on Thursday, December 28, 2017I almost wish they would send a note saying what the issue is that made the pants "factory seconds". I have found ZERO problems with ANY of the pants I ordered (all factory seconds). I wear the Ripstop cargo pants for work; I work overnight maintenance for a very large retail chain store, and these pants get a tremendous workout every night. Waxing, scrubbing floors, doing forklift work outdoors....all kinds of tasks, and I have only had 1 pair actually rip, and the rip was from a tool in one of the pockets that had lost its cap and poked through the pocket. Absolutely NO ISSUES to report negatively about these pants. I keep my eye for the size and color I wear so I can snag up an extra pair or two.

Question & Answer
Questions about this product? Get answers from community and staff experts.
"I bought a couple of pair a year ago - they were about 1/2 size small in the waist so I bought a size up- does any one know if the waist s are still running small? Thanks- other than always having to wear a belt- love these pants."
these are my favorite work pants.I think the size does vary bit. Last pair seemed pretty right on size wise.
I have purchased 3 pair in the last 6 months and they seem to be fairly true to size.
Yes I wear 34 waist bought size 36 shrinkage added in they fit perfect now.
yes still running small get one size bigger.
Not sure about all pairs, but I've ordered 3 in the last year and they were all the size they were supposed to be. Now the INSEAM seems to be around 1/2 size too SMALL. I've ordered down in order to fix the issue, but they still hang a tad lower than should be on me. The waist though, has been dead-on for me.
"These are listed as Style B342 and on the Carhartt website B342 is listed as Relaxed Fit. I've purchased B342 from STP in the past and they were Relaxed Fit. So the question is; Are these the Relaxed Fit B342 pants?
It will specify Relaxed Fit in the waist band."
I'm pretty sure these are called relaxed fit- they seem a little bit fuller cut all over than the ones I bought two years ago..
Yes, these are relaxed fit.
To answer your question I bought two pair of pants one said relaxed fit one did not but they both fit the same
Maybe that's why they're seconds they don't have relaxed fit print it and the waistband
"Do these pants have the openings in the knees for knee pads?"
Yes-like my Carhartt carpenter pants they have a small opening at the bottom of the double knee area- never tried to put knee pads in- only use the strap on kind- but I guess its' possible...
Yes, these do have knee pad openings.
"I ordered black the other day and now black is not even an option? When will black be available again?"

"What if I like to wear them over pants? "
Should work fine as long as you oversize them to fit.
These are pants! Underwear only
If you're asking if you could wear them over thermal underwear or something like that, they'd work fine. But if you're thinking about wearing them over Levis or pants like that, I don't think it would work. They're made to wear as-is, not like overalls.
I would order a size up, in that case. They seem to be true to size. They are definitely heavy duty. You might be better served just wearing a base layer instead.
They would have to be an extra size or two bigger. Two pair of medium weight polypro is a nice warm and good fit but over another pair of pants might be tight.
Sure they'd be fine, maybe decreased motion. Probably just need a size up. Great outter layer for demanding activities.
make sure you get a size bigger to cover the long johns ,pants what ever you will have some great otter pants they tough and look like army issue but better
I would suggest a size larger in the waist if you wish to wear them over a pair of pants. They are not a very loose fitting pant.....
"I bought the shorts which were way too small. Should I buy a larger size in the pants or my normal size?"
I bought a pair of 42x32 and they needed to be hemmed. I then bought two pairs of 40x32 and they fit true to size... 38x32 is next
We did not buy the shorts but we do find that the pants are true to size. My husband is a size 40 and these fit him. I hope that answers your question.
Mine have always been right on.
I dont have a pair of the shorts, but the pants I ordered in my exact size and they fit just right. 38x30.
They are very heavy duty, by the way.
I bought the pants for my husband, who is a very big guy, and they fit true-to-size for him. Never got the shorts, though, so I can't make a comparison.
My larger size pair (40 waist) fit well and seemed pretty true to size.
I got these for my husband a few months ago. he thought they ran too small for him. I would order 1 size up
My regular size fits true size .
My experience with Carhartt is that they all run small, but if you find the Carhartt number that fits, it generally fits across the product line.
My guys found they wear their normal size, but the pants are not relaxed fit, per se. HTH.
"What is the approximate size of the leg openings for a size 40x32? Thanks!"
I have never measured the openings, but I am quite certain there would be no way to get your foot in there without taking off your shoe. The cuff sits fairly snug around the top of my boots and keeps the dust and dirt out fairly well on the trail.
I have 38 x 34 and it is 9" diameter , So like 18" circumference , Hope that helps , I would say normal cut , not boot definitely not skinny, One of my favorite pants , Have three
I am really not sure since I returned these pants. My husband did not like them. I do remember the legs of the pants being really wide. Sorry about late response. Been up in mountain area with little to no service
"Do these pants have the cell phone pocket?
Thank you!"
Yes. On the right as you face a person wearing them.
The pants have numerous pockets which will fit my flip phone and I have carried my in the pockets. I have no knowledge as to whether the pants have a pocket specifically designed for a cell phone. I like my pants and wear them often.
in addition to the normal front and back pockets there are are two cargo pockets and several,other smaller pockets some that snap closed. However the pockets that are typical cell phone size would be risky to carry a phone. Phone size would matter.
There's about 20 pockets you could put your cell phone in on these pants. I just use the large cargo pocket on the left. I have four pairs of these pants. They are super comfy, hold up to wear, and look good.
On the right side, there is a divided pocket over the main cargo pocket, and the center one has a snap closure. Some phones will fit. The left side has an open slot pocket over the main cargo pocket. You also have regular front pockets that are quite deep. I'm sure you can find somewhere to stick your phone.
Not for any smart phone I know of. I do carry an iPhone 6, wallet, keys, pens sunglasses and a Leatherman and still have both rear pockets empty however.
I didn't know how to post my gratitude for the resounding response to my question, so this will have to do. THANK YOU to you all for your lightning fast, descriptive, helpful replies. I so appreciate each of you!
I'm not sure if Carhartt calls it a cell phone pocket, but yes there are definitely options for carrying any size cell phone.
I own an Iphone 6plus, and it fits perfectly in the outer pocket which is stitched to the outside of the left cargo pocket.
It does seem like this pocket was designed for a cell phone. The phone sits directly above your left knee when in this pocket.
80% of the phone fits snuggly into the pocket, with the top 20% sticking out so its easy to grab.
The width of the pocket fits my 6plus perfectly, so smaller phones should also fit.
At other times I use the left rear pocket which is very wide & deep, so the entire phone fits inside.
Both left & right cargo pockets would also work. So essentially you have 4 options.
My only issue with the pocket is it sits directly above my knee cap. The bottom of the phone actually touches my knee cap as I walk.
It does not inhibit walking, but you will notice it. If I was climbing a ladder, I would move the phone to one of the cargo pockets or to my rear pocket to prevent the phone hitting the ladder rungs as I climbed. If I were redesigning the pants I would move this pocket to the lateral side of the leg, and have it sit slightly higher than its current location. I hope this helps your decision.
There's pockets all over these pants. His casio gzone smart phone will fit in one side pocket, but not my droid maxx. It would also fit most flip phones. But there are two other button pockets that are real big that would hold the phone no problem, but wouldn't want to have to unbutton it. Could leave one button unbuttoned and still get to phone but not easy access as you would have to lean over to reach it. But the many pockets are nice and the pants are definitely comfortable.
-Yes, but the outer pocket that was perfect for my old cell phone is too small for my new one, which now has to ride in the big main pocket...
yes, they do have a cell phone pocket
Yes, Kitty, they do. Right Leg patch pocket has a buttoned pocket for a cell phone, mine fits even with a case. Don't expect to put a larger "phone"/pocket PC in though. Also, the phone hits the side of my knee at just a spot where it chafes a bit. Might not be a problem for you.
I guess it would depend on the size of your phone. There is a pocket inside the front right pocket that will hold my phone but I don't have an iPhone that is bigger than the ipad! lol There is also a pocket on the outside of the cargo pocket on the left leg. Once again, my phone fits nicely in it but it is a basic phone and will depend on the size of phone you have. Other than that, they have very roomy front pockets and nice sized cargo pockets if you have a large phone.
To have dedicated cell phone in today's market would be hard to do. Due to the various cell phone sizes. I use one of the large cargo pockets on either side as a cell phone pocket. this way I don't have to worry about a new phone fitting in the pocket.
yes, on the left thigh
There is a open top pocket on the outside of the left cargo pocket that might work. It looks to be about 2x4+ inches. The cargo pockets would also work.
There are several pockets that will hold a cell phone. Even my Kindle fits. THey are good and deep too.
