...training gear for different sports,” said Senior Associate Director of Athletics Patricia Henry. “When we made certain decisions in reducing our budgets, we gave budget targets to the coaches and it was to their discretion to decide what they needed to outfit their teams.” Since the sweat suits were not budgeted, varsity athletes will not be able to obtain them from the department free of cost–or at all for some athletes. “The sweat suits are not for sale,” Henry said...
...dynamic is sitcom-broad and contains a near libelous caricature of immigrant Jews. Maybe Elliot's mother really was a screaming, tightfisted tyrant, and his father the standard henpecked husband.

They were bolstered, according to Palestinian observers, by jihadist elements from other Arab countries, taking advantage of the widespread despair and frustration in Gaza brought on by the ongoing economic siege...
Many Muslim women are more devoted to their favorite form of exercise. If they are runners, they must run; if they are swimmers, they must swim. For these women, there are only two answers: a clever outfit that breathes or sequestration in a same-sex exercise facility. The athletic veil, known as the hijood, is made from high-tech fabric that's meant to wick sweat off the skin. It debuted when the Bahraini sprinter Rogaya Al Ghasara wore it while competing at the 2008 Olympics. While it takes a certain steely piety to wear the hijood - its slick ninja...
