What happens to an H&M coat deferred? According to an article in today's New York Times, it gets holes slashed in it before the store tosses it in the garbage. Grad student Cynthia Magnus tells the paper that she often sees piles of damaged clothing in trash bags behind the Herald Square H&M. Recently, she found bag upon bag of men's coats, all punctured so that the lining was spilling out. And H&M isn't the only store that destroyed its unsold clothing before putting it in the dumpster: A Wal-Mart contractor on 35th Street does the same thing.

Magnus wrote to H&M's head of corporate responsibility, volunteering to help the chain donate its unwanted clothes to charity. (New York Cares, which runs the city's big annual coat drive, has an office around the corner from the Herald Square store.) So far, she hasn't heard back. The Times attempted to reach H&M ten times yesterday for comment, but also hasn't gotten any response. But whatever: It's not like we're having the coldest winter in years smack in the middle of a national recession, right?

Tourism
Zermatt is famed as a mountaineering and ski resort. Until the mid-19th century, it was predominantly an agricultural community — its name, as well as that of the Matterhorn itself, derives from the alpine meadows, or matten, in the valley. In the German language, the town is "Zur Matte", or "in the meadow."
The town was "discovered" mid-century by British mountaineers, most notably Edward Whymper,whose conquest of the Matterhorn made the village famous.
There are several "suburbs" within Zermatt, and the largest of these organise summer street parties, where the local shops, restaurants and bars contribute towards communal events. Notable parties include the Steinmatte (held in late August, last in 2007), and the Winkelmatten (held in September, takes place every other year). Winkelmatten itself was once a separate small hamlet, but as Zermatt has grown it has become incorporated within the greater conurbation.
Zermatt is a starting point for hikes into the mountains, including the Haute Route that leads to Chamonix in France. Cable cars and chair lifts carry skiers in the winter and hikers in the summer; the highest of them leads to the Klein Matterhorn at 3,883m, a peak on the ridge between Breithorn and Matterhorn that offers spectacular views in all directions. It is possible to cross into Italy via the Cervinia cable car station.

Zermatt is also the western terminus for the Glacier Express rail service connecting to St. Moritz and the MGB (Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn).
