The consumer has proved more resilient than many thought. We're still in the middle of a very busy week that can account for 10 to 15 percent of holiday sales, especially with all the unredeemed gift cards. It's not over yet. |
The continued low-priced, high-volume assault on the U.S. market by Chinese activated carbon is destroying the profitability of the domestic industry, despite its best efforts to reduce costs and maintain pricing and profits. |

The conversations that we have with Chris [are] mainly on the preparation of his game. At this stage to start talking about long-term deals and dollars is premature. He needs a season to finish, then we'll see where we're at. |
