We compare constraints on the gluon polarization in the nucleon obtained in
next to leading order global QCD fits to polarized deep inelastic scattering
data with those coming from observables more directly linked to the gluon
polarization, such as the double spin asymmetry measured by Phenix at RHIC, and
high-pT hadron production studied by COMPASSComment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
