Volunteers are needed to help with an after-school program being started at the Wallenpaupack North Intermediate School and Middle School. The program, called the Rowland Youth Club, is being conducted privately by Mrs. Dorean Davis with permission of school officials to use the school facilities.
She stated that since an announcement was run last October, she has found a volunteer to help students with their homework. She is still looking for individuals to give of their time to teach dance, music and art.
Sewing instruction is also proposed.
The program is entirely free to students and will be offered twice a week, at the North Intermediate School on Tuesday from 2:39 to 5:30 p.m. and at the Middle School on Thursday from 2:40 to 5:30 p.m. They have been able to start the program, and have a few children involved. Parents are invited to contact her for information and to fill out a required application.
She has also been given permission to use the Lackawaxen Fire House for a similar program, on other days. Once school bus transportation can be worked out, she hopes to begin the program in Lackawaxen as well.
In addition, she is a 4-H leader and would like to begin a 4-H program at Wallenpaupack.
Davis said this the after-school program is important, to help our children. Some will go home to an empty home because parents are working. The after school club will allow additional educational opportunities and a means to encourage the youth to not get into trouble, she stated. "Rowland" refers to Rowland, North Carolina, where she used to coordinate a similar program.
The Lackawaxen Township resident said she eventually would like to have her own facility and expand on available after-school programs. With adequate assistance, she said she would to expand to the high school, and have speakers tall about such issues as drugs and alcohol and teenage pregnancies. Classes will be conducted by qualified individuals and with parental consent. Field trips are another possibility, in the future.
For more information or to volunteer, call her at (570)470-5763.
She also has a web site at www.rowlandyouthclub.com.

Natural Ascension – And Its Inherent Lag
By Gerry Khermouch
For a few years now the impression has been spreading – promulgated by folks like me – that natural foods are rapidly going mainstream and that it's only a matter of time before you can grab a 6-pack of kombucha at the local c-store. Hyperbole aside, is there much truth to that sentiment? As an informal gauge, I've found it interesting to observe the growing (if still small) numbers of natural foods exhibitors at the Natural Products Expo West that turn up as exhibitors at the NACS c-store extravaganza in the fall not long after their Expo debuts. That migration simply didn't happen in such short order in the past.
These thoughts are prompted by my visit to the latest edition of Expo West in Anaheim, where I spent literally every minute of every day on the show floor and still didn't cover all the beverage exhibitors. It's a phenomenal show whose steady increases in exhibitors, attendees and overall energy level has seemed unstoppable. Even during the worst of the recent (current?) recession you couldn't tell from a surface glance at the show floor that anything was amiss in the broader economy. You couldn't say that even about NACS, which had seen similar blockbuster growth but certainly has more ties to the macroeconomic environment. Expo's sustained ebullience no doubt reflected how the affluent tier of consumers pursued by Whole Foods marketers has been comparatively insulated from the ravages of the recession. But it also demonstrates natural food's rapid inroads into the mainstream. All in all, despite the inevitable compromises you see some manufacturers making as they cultivate a broader audience, it's been heartening to see.
Still, even though natural is moving toward the mainstream as a product class, at this year's show, there were few among the individual newer products I spotted that seemed close to mainstream acceptance. This is not to say there weren't quite a few intriguing entries. And there is always a lag inherent in the process of introducing items to Expo West and mainstreaming them into the general market. But as the coconut water example proves (more on that in a minute), sometimes things move quicker than you'd imagine.
The entries that intrigued me either harnessed an unusual ingredient, were dramatic and dead-on in their branding, or both. On the superfruit front, I sampled at least a pair of good-tasting coffee berry entries, Kona Red and Bai, albeit very different in their formulations (Kona Red is a juice, while Bai is a water). Whether retailers and consumers may not be getting fatigued by the endless onset of new antioxidant-rich drinks is a subject I addressed in my last column. Ditto for Runa Guayusa, which harnesses a nutrient-rich Amazon plant in both loose-leaf and, soon, ready-to-drink formats. With kombucha enjoying a resurgence despite taste challenges to some consumers, it was no surprise to see a fair amount of interest surrounding an alternative probiotic-rich entry, KeVita. On the branding front, the baby boomer-targeted Ojo eyecare line launched by an ophthalmologist graphically riffs off eyecharts in an unmistakable way, even viewed from across the store. AmaZon Extracts offers an enhanced water fortified with Amazon superfruits – perhaps the explicit indication of added value that might allow it to escape the downward pricing spiral instigated by vitaminwater and SoBe Lifewater. Not least, that exquisite Chicago tea and coffee chain, Argo, has pushed into elegantly packaged, beautifully crafted RTD teas alongside the move of its stores into new cities like New York and Boston. All worth keeping an eye on, I think.
Of course, the accelerating spread of innovation beyond natural foods can't be better illustrated than by coconut water. The segment was liberally represented at the show, in the form of established players Vita Coco, Zico, O.N.E. and Naked Juice, and by scads of smaller rivals in cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles and aseptic boxes.
It's worth reflecting briefly on that segment's rapid rise. Even the founders of the more successful brands admit that coconut water's broad acceptance has surprised them. Who'd have thought coconut water wouldn't spend long years as strictly a New York and L.A. thing? Yet during the industry's recent supply squeeze, the complaints were just as loud from distributors in secondary and tertiary U.S markets.
That could be a sign that, with the spread of social media and the continued expansion of Whole Foods, we're moving into an era where dissemination of healthy food concepts is nearly instant. More likely it reflected the crisp messaging of an ingredient that was positioned as an all-natural, unprocessed hydration alternative to items like Gatorade and vitaminwater. With Zico's launch first of a concentrate-based bottled version and, at this show, a chocolate flavor that puts it into a more indulgent realm, we're clearly entering a new phase. Will plays like that – as well as its increasing use as an ingredient in other common products, like teas and smoothies — move coconut water toward ubiquity among potential consumption occasions? Or do they harbor the risk of undermining the fresh-from-the-coconut positioning that got the segment this far? Tune in this fall to NACS, where some answers may emerge.

UPDATE: The Being in Philly event has been postponed due to possibily inclement weather.
Organizers hope Philadelphians of all races will turn out next week for an event at Love Park called "Being in Philly." The gathering, scheduled for 4 p.m. on March 20, is in response to a controversial Philadelphia magazine cover story called "Being White In Philly." In the piece, based on anonymous interviews, Robert Huber makes the claim that white people are afraid to talk about race for fear of being called racist.
The article has a lot of problems, many of them well documented already. But the first-day-of-spring event isn't so much to address the issue of bad journalism but to present another view of what's happening in Philly.
"The goal is to have an intellectual dialogue and discourse that promotes a positive outcome and interactive cultural understanding," Chris Norris, a lead organizer, told me last week.
Organizers also hope to bring Huber, the author of 'Being White in Philly,' to Love Park to introduce him around.
"To introduce him to organizations like Rising Sons and to introduce him to the Black Male Engagement Project that the Knight Foundation is spending millions and millions of dollars on to change the narrative in this city and Baltimore and Detroit. To introduce him to people like Gregory Walker (founder of the Brothers Network)…Gregory Corbin and Solomon Jones. That's the goal. Not to make him feel scared, to make him feel like there's going to be an angry black mob waiting for him. That there's going to be intellectual black men waiting with open arms to embrace him because, hey, he needs a hug. "
Organizers hope Philly mag will respond by writing some sort of piece of follow up to Huber's piece.
"We want to encourage Philly magazine to write a part 2 (called) being a Philadelphian. Not being white. Not being black. But being a Philadelphian. That's really important," pointed out Rashaun Williams, 18, a Temple University sociology and history major who's helping organize the gathering.
In addition to all that, organizers say there will be free musical performances and a water ice giveaway. Editors at Philly mag also have been invited.

NEW ORLEANS (WBRC) - The following is a transcript of comments from Alabama head football coach Nick Saban to reporters in New Orleans on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2012, as the Crimson Tide prepared to play the LSU Tigers for the BCS National Championship.
THE MODERATOR: Coach, if you'd like to make an opening statement, and we'll open it up for questions.
COACH SABAN: I've made this statement before, but I would like to make it again relative to the hospitality that we've received here from the Sugar Bowl and the entire community here in New Orleans.
I think our players have enjoyed the trip here. Certainly it's been a wonderful experience to them to this point, and they're looking forward to the opportunity that they have tomorrow night.
It was a little bit special yesterday at practice for me, because this group has been ?? from the time we played Michigan State in the [Capital One] Bowl game last year and made a commitment to do the right things, do things in the right way, and I've been very pleased and proud.
And you always have a good association with a team that makes those kind of commitments and tries to do the right stuff.
And that's one of the things that we've been most proud of in terms of earning the right to have an opportunity to play in a championship game.
THE MODERATOR: Questions?
Q. Could you just talk about what the next 30 to 31 hours will be like for your coaches, your players, what you would like them to ready themselves with and really your final preparations?
COACH SABAN: I think that the most important thing that players can do right now is just focus on the task at hand, focus on what it's going to take for them to play their best football, which I'm sure that's their goal in this game.
And they've certainly made a commitment to do that. So to get caught up in sort of what's happening around them and the anxiety that can go with an opportunity like this or the pressure that comes with an opportunity like this, I would like for them to focus on the opportunity, not the pressure part, so that they really are zeroed into the mental practice and the things that when they go out there and play they're going to be confident in doing their job the way they need to do it to have success.
Q. Coach, you alluded to it in your opening statement about this team and their motivation, potentially coming from even last season. You talk about that in your book as well and you talk about your former championships; that the wins don't come in that season, they often come from maybe a season before a loss. Can you talk about this team's particular motivation and where their motivation came from and where the genesis of that motivation was?
COACH SABAN: You know, Michigan State's quarterback [Kirk Cousins] last year after our game against them in the Capitol One Bowl made the statement to one of our coaches how did you guys lose three games? And I think that a lot of the motivation that came to this team came from the lessons learned from losing those three games.
Whether it was the leadership that we had ?? you know, anybody can be successful every now and again. But to be successful all the time, you have to make a commitment to doing things right all the time.
And I think that was probably the difference in this team. The leadership, the reinforcement, the buy?in was all good. I think that's what contributed to the consistency this team was able to play with.
Q. I've got a Kirby Smart question for you. When you decided to move Kirby into a coordinator role after Kevin Steele moved on, what brought you to realize that the right guy for that role at that time was right there on your staff with Kirby?
COACH SABAN: To me, Kirby's got all the right stuff. He's very bright. He's been with us for a long time. So he really understands the system that we play. Not only understands how to teach it, he understands how to implement it, which I think is even more critical, especially on game day.
He and I work well together. He does a great job at teaching the players. The players really respond well to him. It would be very difficult for me to really give a reason why Kirby shouldn't have been the coordinator and what his weakness has been since he's been the coordinator, because he's done a marvelous job for us, fantastic job, in terms of how he's developed the players, developed the togetherness, and if you look at the body of work, there's been quite a bit of success there as well.
Q. Obviously you guys lost to this opponent earlier in the year. Do you and your team feel at all like the underdog in this situation?
COACH SABAN: Well, I think that our team learned some things from the first game. Sometimes when you have a negative experience, you're more willing to maybe learn some of the things that can be valuable to you in the future in terms of the execution, the inability to finish in critical times in certain situations in the game.
So I look at the first game as more of an opportunity for us to learn and understand some of the things that we're going to need to do to be able to have a chance to be successful this time.
Q. I'm not going to tell you how Les answered this, but from this vantage point, a year from now could you see your team back in this same position and why?
COACH SABAN: Well, I haven't even thought about that. I mean, we're focused on what we have to do here in the next however many hours it is to the game. And I've asked the players to focus on just that and not think about what they're going to do after the game, whether it's come out for the [NFL] Draft or whatever it is or come back for their fifth year. But let's just focus on what we need to do right now.
And each and every year you have a new team. You lose so many players in college, seniors, leaders, juniors coming out early, and you take the next year's team and you see how they mold into a successful unit.
So I know the principles and values that we're going to coach that team is going to help that team try to be as successful as they possibly can be.
Q. Nick, the last time you were in the national championship game against Texas, you did a fake punt on the first series. Was that a predesigned play or a Les Miles moment or what that was?
COACH SABAN: To be honest with you, it was probably a mistake, because it didn't work. But the way we went into that game, because they used to uncover the gunners a lot on the punt and nobody would run out and cover him. Sort of daring you to throw the ball to the guy.
Well, we actually made Julio Jones the gunner into the boundary so we could throw the ball to him. And he got hurt on the play before that punt, and we had a freshman who has turned out to be a pretty good player in the meantime, Dre Kirkpatrick, who was in there, and he didn't really run the pass pattern.
So even though it was probably ill-advised, it was automatic to do that the first time they did it, so they wouldn't do it anymore.
And it didn't work. So it was a bad deal all the way around. But sometimes when you do things like that, the players see you being aggressive and maybe it's not as bad as you think.
When I was here at LSU and we played Tennessee in the first [SEC] championship game, I think it was in 2001, and they were No. 1 or 2 in the country going to go play in the national championship game, we got behind 14?7 and we were on the 29?yard line with fourth and an inch. I mean an inch.
Now, they had [Albert] Haynesworth and some big guys playing in the middle. So I said we're going to go for it on our own 29?yard line on fourth and an inch. And we got stuffed. And we sacked them and they kicked a field goal and they got ahead 17?7.
And for the next five minutes of the game I was like in la-la land, like, Why did you do that? That's the dumbest thing you've ever done. My wife even told me: That's the dumbest call I've seen you make since you've been a head coach.
But we were walking off the field after the game, the seniors came up and said: 'You know, Coach, that was the most important thing you did in the game is when you went for it on fourth down.'
I said: 'Really?' They said: 'Yeah, because when you did that, we really thought we could win. You were being aggressive and you were trying to win, and we were aggressive after that and we ended up winning the game 31?20.'
So even sometimes the dumbest things you do, you never know how people are going to respond to them. And that was one of the dumb ones, and throwing that pass against Texas last year was one of the dumb ones, too. There's many more in between, incidentally. (Laughter).
Q. First, what will your message be to the team before the game? And, second, you've been in a championship game before, what's different this time around?
COACH SABAN: I'm not sure that anything's different. I think the teams are different. And the preparation that you put your team through is for those specific technical things relative to the team that you play.
But, you know, being in those other games really doesn't matter now. I think we all learn a little bit, gain some experience from that maybe in preparation, maybe in management.
But basically my message to the team is going to be to focus on everything that they need to do to play their best football. That's the goal. That's the objective. And I think to reassure players now at this point ?? everybody's going to want to win the game when the game comes.
To reassure them of the things that they need to do to be able to stay focused so they can execute, play with great effort, be a relentless competitor, and stay in that place of who they are so that they have the best chance to play their best game is really what we're focused on right now.
Q. When you left LSU seven years ago, you said you wanted LSU to find a guy that would continue the success you guys had had and build upon it. And just wondering if you can reflect back on the job that Les Miles has done. Are you happy that they're able to build on what you started at LSU and can you speak of the irony of having to beat LSU for a national championship?
COACH SABAN: Well, first of all, I think that Les Miles has done a fabulous job at LSU. When I started out at LSU we were 3?8, didn't have a very good graduation rate. We were struggling in recruiting, had lots of issues and problems.
And I think Les has done a great job of recruiting fantastic players, has had a great coaching staff that has helped develop those players. Their consistency and success is probably second to none in terms of their accomplishments and what they've done. So we have a tremendous amount of respect for the program.
And I'm for the SEC. I'm for the league. I'm not rooting against anybody in our league. I want everybody in our league ?? because that's what makes our league very, very good, is that there's a lot of good teams and a lot of good competition. And the fact that we have two teams playing in the BCS National Championship game from the same league, you know, speaks volumes for that. Well, that wouldn't occur if you never had lots of good programs.
And we have a tremendous amount of respect for their program and the job that they do and the players that they have and what they've been able to accomplish.
So I think it's outstanding.
Q. In the course of this season, I'm sure as you go through game plan and preparation, you look at a team and you feel pretty good that there are certain things that look like they may work. And then you play a game like this where there's so much talent, so much balance on both sides. For you personally, what's the exhilaration factor, the challenge factor that gets you juiced for a game like this?
COACH SABAN: I think that the opportunity itself, you know ?? we only have so many opportunities to play in games that are as meaningful as this, to our institutions, to our traditions, to the players who have made commitment to work so hard to have the opportunity.
You certainly, as a coach, want to do everything that you can do to give them the best chance to go out there and be successful and accomplish something that is going to be a great lifetime memory, accomplishment, something that actually contributes to their legacy, to the team's legacy of the tradition of your university.
But I think that, to answer your question in one word, it's execution. Ability to execute, finish, play for 60 minutes. Those basic fundamentals are still going to be important, because you may think something's going to work and it may even be an advantage for you that it's going to work, but if you don't execute it correctly, it probably won't work.
So it still comes down to those kind of disciplined abilities to fundamentally everybody do their job correctly, and that's what's going to help you be successful.
Q. I know coaches, you probably as well, try to keep human emotion out of game planning and actual game situations. But knowing how LSU fans feel about you, where do your human emotions come into play and what are your sentiments towards LSU and playing against them in this game?
COACH SABAN: First of all, this game's not about me. It's not about me for me. Okay? It doesn't define who I am as a person in terms of what we do, how we give, what Nick's Kids do. My wife and I do a lot of things for a lot of people.
We coach for the players. And I'm most concerned about doing a good job for our team and our players and the institution that we represent.
And I have a lot of special memories of my experience here in Louisiana at LSU for what was accomplished in the program here. And no one's ever going to take that away.
And I have a lot of special relationships with a lot of people in Louisiana who appreciate that and have continued to be very good friends and relationships that I really cherish.
So there's really nothing from a personal standpoint in all of this for me. It's not about that. It's about a lot of other things that are a lot bigger than me or anything that's ever happened to me.
And I would hope that people can appreciate and respect that. And we understand that we're on the other side now. And I appreciate people's passion for their institution. I appreciate our fans and their passion for our institution, as well as everyone else's. And I respect that. I respect that.
But it's all good.
Q. When do you make those reflections?
COACH SABAN: What reflections?
Q. About your start of time here at LSU. When do you think about that in a personal moment outside of this week, outside of this game?
COACH SABAN: Certainly not in the next how many hours we have until the game. (Laughter). I'm focused on what we can do for our team.
I guess when I go back to West Virginia and I get on the side of the mountain and watch the creek go by I might think about some of that. I don't know when that time's coming. But I hope not too soon.
Q. I think you had 44 days to prepare. I'm guessing timing is so important. How do you replicate a game situation for your field goal kicker other than just lining up 11 guys on the opposite side to block it? What have you done?
COACH SABAN: I don't think it's just the field goal kicker. I think it's everybody that's playing. I think players basically get in a routine through the course of a year, through a season.
And I think when you have this much time between games, obviously you're always wondering as a coach: Are we practicing enough? Are we practicing too much? Are we practicing all the things we need to do to be able to get the kind of execution we need in all phases of the game, whether it's special teams, kickers, specialists, offense, defense, it really doesn't matter.
So we try to simulate as many game situations as we can, and we tell the players that practice is more important for this Bowl game, for any Bowl game, than practice normally is even in the season, because you only have your practice preparation to prepare you for the game, so it's critical that you do a good job of that.
Who have we got playing back there? (Laughter). Got a little Al Green, man. Turn it up. Let's go. (Laughter).
Q. Wondering, it dovetails with what you mentioned earlier, we talk a lot about strategy and emotions. You talked about execution. What in this time of preparation do you look for from your players to determine if ?? to get clues as to whether their execution is going to be where you want it? Is it simply what they do in practice? Is it comments that you hear made? Is it an overall demeanor? And what has that been like?
COACH SABAN: Well, I think it's where we need to be. And you never are quite sure at this stage where your team is. You can only speculate.
But I've liked the way we've prepared. I think we are where we need to be. We'll never know for sure until we get out there and start playing.
And it's not just what you do during the preparation but what you do during the game. Because every game is going to create some challenges and some opportunities to overcome adversity. And if you're a great competitor ?? you can't be a great competitor if you can't overcome adversity.
And that kind of mindset is going to be very, very important, because every game I think we played against LSU in the last five games comes right down to the wire, some kind of way. Whether we won, they won, it doesn't make any difference, there's one common theme: all the games come right down to the wire.
So you have to be prepared to sustain your performance for 60 minutes in the game, and I don't think that's all going to be just about emotion. A lot of that is about competitive character.
Q. Someone who appreciates good defense, I wonder, when you look back at that first game, the caliber of defense that was played, the level of talent on the field, the level of talent we'll see Monday night, where does that rate among two defenses on one field in one game, that talent level that you've been around?
COACH SABAN: Well, I have a lot of respect for those players that play. First of all, I have a tremendous amount of respect for a great competitor.
You know, when Kristen [Saban] first started dating and those boys came knocking on the door, I go open a door, the first thing I'd ask them is: 'What do you play? What do you play?' I want to know if the guy was a competitor. I wanted to know if he made a commitment, worked and did something that was sort of going to make him somebody that could overcome adversity and do the right things.
Of course, none of them really ever answered me. They were so intimidated so I never got much good information. (Laughter).
But I have a tremendous amount of respect for the quality of players that they have on their defense and certainly a lot of admiration for what our defensive team this year was able to accomplish.
But I don't think in an one?game season, a winner?take?all game, kind of like this game is, that what you've done in the past is necessarily going to affect what happens in the future.
So everybody's going to have to play well in this challenge, in this game, on this day, for every play in this game. Because there's a lot of talented players on the offensive sides, too, that are very capable of making plays.
So we're going to have to go out there and execute and do a good job to play the kind of defense that was played in the first game.
Q. Coach, this is your second straight Bowl game, second straight Bowl game against a program you once worked for and established relationships with people in those places and stuff. Does it feel unusual ?? does it feel unusual to be facing a team for the second straight year that you once worked for?
COACH SABAN: Not really. Mark Dantonio, I think maybe one of the different things for me was Mark Dantonio was a coach for five years when I was the head coach at Michigan State and did a marvelous job and has done a wonderful job there as the head coach, and they've had a lot of success and congratulate them on their success that their team has had this year.
And I think when you play against guys that are former assistants, that's a little different. And other than every time we play LSU I gotta change my phone number because people blow up my phone.
There's really nothing ?? you know, there's nothing.
Terry's [Saban] too, actually. (Laughter).
Q. What advice will your wife give you before the big game?
COACH SABAN: Well, I don't think there's any advice she's going to give me before the game. I get that advice on a daily basis. (Laughter).
We have sort of ?? we get up at 6:15 every day and watch the Weather Channel for about 30 minutes before we start our day. And I get most of my marching orders in that 30?minute segment of what we should do or how I should do it or why it's important to do it that way, what I need to talk to the team about.
I mean, I get coached up very well in that 30?minute segment of the Weather Channel.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you, Coach.

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has blasted Uefa as "cowardly" following its decision to stand by referee Cuneyt Cakir.
The Turkish official controversially sent off Nani in the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie with Real Madrid, a game which Sir Alex Ferguson's men went on to lose, having led at the time of the red card.
"That red card [Nani against Real Madrid] was heavily unjustified," Van Persie told AD.nl. "It was not even a yellow card or a free kick. Nani couldn't do anything about it, he hardly touched Arbeloa.
"The worst thing is that Uefa supports him. That's cowardly, because I really don't understand it.
"Why don't they just be honest and say: 'He hasn't seen it?'
"I didn't understand before the game that this man would be the referee, such an unknown referee who hasn't been in charge of a big game for months.
"Even the guys from Madrid told me afterwards that it was not a red card."
The Red Devils were on course for a place in the quarter-finals prior to the sending off, leading 1-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate.
However, two goals in the space of four minutes put paid to their chances of progression, and Van Persie is adamant that it would have been a different story if they still had 11 men on the pitch.
"For an hour everything was looking good, the tactics seems to be right," he insisted.
"We really had the feeling that we were going to score the second goal and then it would become very difficult for Real Madrid. But then it the referee pulled the red card.
"Real were not dangerous at all, I'm sure we would have kept our position. So now it's all about the title in the Premier League."
This is not the first time that the Dutchman has been left feeling hard done by following a Champions League elimination, as his controversial red card against Barcelona while playing for Arsenal in 2011 saw the Gunners crash out after leading the tie at the time of his dismissal.

Cheney: Lawmakers favored secrecy on surveillance
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday U.S. congressional leaders he briefed in 2004 on a surveillance program recently disclosed by leaker Edward Snowden supported it, and both Republicans and Democrats wanted to keep it secret.
Cheney said he was directly involved in setting up the program, run by the National Security Agency, or NSA, in the weeks after the 9/11 attacks. He said it has had "phenomenal results" in preventing terrorist attacks.
Cheney did not specify which survelliance program he was referring to. Snowden, a former NSA contractor, is facing espionage charges stemming from his disclosure of U.S. surveillance programs that collect phone records and online data in the name of national security.
"There was a time when it was a very, very close hold. Unfortunately it's become public," said Cheney.
He was asked about Snowden's disclosures at a forum at a Washington think tank on U.S.-Korean affairs. He said the leaks have already caused significant damage to U.S. national security as it had forced the government to declassify information to explain the surveillance program.
"If you tell the enemy how you are reading their mail, it's going to lessen your capability to do that," he said.
Cheney, who served as vice president in the George W. Bush administration, said that the way the program was set up, it required presidential approval for anyone outside the agency to be allowed to "read in" to it.
Cheney said he met and briefed congressional leaders — whom he did not identify — about three years after the program started and they were "unanimous" that it should continue.
"I said, 'Do you think we ought to come back to the Congress in order to get more formal authorization?' and they said, 'Absolutely not.' Everybody, Republican and Democrat, said, 'Don't come back up here, it will leak'," Cheney said.
Cheney expressed concern that a private contractor was able to gain access to the information that Snowden has leaked, and speculated that someone within the NSA was feeding information to him.
Snowden left Hong Kong Sunday for Moscow to avoid extradition to the U.S. His intended destination remains unclear.
While the Obama administration and U.S. lawmakers have decried Snowden's leaks, free speech advocates have praised him for shedding light on secret surveillance programs in a democratic society.

Is Google+'s Facelift the Sincerest Form of Flattery?
Apr 11, 2012 2:07 PM PT
Google on Wednesday announced new features for its Google+ social network.
The Internet giant on Wednesday introduced what Google+ head honcho Vic Gundotra called a "more functional and flexible" version of the service.
"With Google+, we're building a seamless and consistent social layer across Google," company spokesperson Kat Eller told TechNewsWorld. "Today's foundational changes let us move even faster toward a simpler, more beautiful Google."
That consistency might result in an industry-wide similarity of features.
"As social networking has exploded in popularity, there are certain kinds of features and functions that users of Facebook and other social networking sites are used to having and like having, and Google's simply adapting Google+ to, if not emulate the competition, establish the same general theme of what users can expect," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld.
Looking to the Future in Google+
Google has replaced the static icons at the top of Google+ pages with a dynamic ribbon of applications on the left, Gundotra said. This lets users drag apps up or down to rearrange them, hover over certain apps to reveal a set of quick actions, and show or hide apps.
The ribbon also has a free space for future features, Gundotra said.
New Google+ features also make it easier for users to share information. They include a stream of conversation "cards" that make it easier to scan and join discussions, an activity drawer that highlights the community around users' content, and a dedicated Hangouts page.
The dedicated Hangouts page includes a list of invitations from people in users' circles that will be constantly updated, quick access to every public and On Air hangout, and a rotating billboard of popular hangouts, pro tips and other items.
Google's also working on new hangout apps.
Other new features include an "Explore" page that shows what's interesting and trending across the Google+ network, a chat list that puts users' friends front and center, and a new profile with much bigger photos.
Does This Look Familiar?
Some of the new Google+ features appear quite similar to their counterparts on other social networking sites such as archrival Facebook and erstwhile partner Twitter.
For example, the free space in the ribbon of applications has given rise to speculation that Google will allow apps and widgets from third-party developers on the Google+ site emulating Facebook and other social sites.
Some observers have noted that the "Trending on Google+" box is similar to the "Trending Topics" feature on Twitter, right down to the use of hash tags. Further, Google now lets users pick a cover photo for their profiles, echoing Facebook. And could Google be stepping up its focus on photos in the wake of Facebook's recent billion-dollar purchase of photo-sharing app developer Instagram?
"Both Facebook and Google will track features head to head, as it's an all-out war for users," Maribel Lopez, principal analyst at Lopez Research, remarked.
Google's Rebuttal to Speculation
"A critical piece [of the seamless and consistent layer Google's building] is a design that scales to our future needs," the company's Eller said about the space in the ribbon.
Further, the Google+ trends feature "has been live on the Google+ search result pages for months and Google has a long history of offering trending data to users," Eller pointed out, citing Google's search trends feature.
And as for the pix, "we're always experimenting with new ways to bring users a rich and beautiful photo experience," Eller remarked.
Google's Two-Headed Bluebird of Happiness
If the new features are aimed at making Google+ users happier, they are also likely aimed at bringing cheer to Google's accountants. After all, the more data users share, the more information the Internet giant can glean from them, thus allowing them to further refine their ad strategies.
"The sharing of data goes to the heart of Google's commercial model," Pund-IT's King stated.
"The feature improvements are designed to get us to share more so Google can learn more and monetize its users more effectively," Lopez Research's Lopez told TechNewsWorld.

Nottinghamshire announce Cowan signing
Ed Cowan, the Australia opener, has been confirmed as Nottinghamshire's overseas signing for the first half of the 2013 season.
Cowan, who will likely feature in the Ashes against England later in the summer, will be available for seven rounds of the Championship, as well as eight CB40 matches.
The move, first reported on ESPNcricinfo, will give Cowan extra time to get used to batting in English conditions ahead of the Ashes. Notts will be his second county, after a stint with Gloucestershire in 2012, and the 30-year-old has also played in England for Scotland and Oxford MCCU. He currently averages 34 in Test cricket after 11 matches, with one century.
"I was very keen to play some Division One cricket and I'm pleased to have the opportunity to do that with Nottinghamshire," Cowan said. "There are a lot of good players at the club and Trent Bridge is a great venue so I'm hoping to make a good contribution on and off the field."
Nottinghamshire, who finished fifth in Division One in 2012, will look to recruit another overseas player after Cowan's departure. Last season, Adam Voges filled the overseas role, while David Hussey had previously been linked with a return.
Notts' director of cricket, Mike Newell, said: "Ed has an excellent record in Test cricket and there was an opportunity to sign him for a decent period given that a lot of Australian players were set to spend time in England on an A tour in preparation for the Ashes.
"Our priority was to find a player who we felt could score a good volume of runs in four day cricket but Ed has a good one day record as well and we're confident that he can make a difference for us."

Summer doesn't necessarily mean end of allergies
The "Summer Cold"
Surviving the summer
You may have allergies and not suspect it
A new class of medications bringing relief
New testing methods spell relief for allergies
When people think of allergies, many equate the spring and autumn seasons with red eyes, runny noses and tissue boxes. As many sufferers know only too well, however, the end of spring does not herald the end of discomfort. It merely brings a shift of symptoms.
While the seasonal woes of spring and autumn translate into the classic allergy annoyances of watery/itchy eyes and nose and profuse sneezing, the allergens of summer generally manifest themselves in nasal stuffiness and excess mucous in the nose and throat.
That's because the culprits vary from season to season. In early spring, the pollens of budding trees (such as birch, poplar, walnut, sycamore, oak and ash) produce the symptoms typically associated with allergies and/or hay fever. Later springtime discomfort is usually triggered by the pollens of such grasses as sweet vernal, bermuda, timothy, red top, some bluegrasses and others.
As summer approaches and conditions become dry, much of the vegetation dies. This, along with high humidity levels, produces an excellent environment for the mold fungi which grow on dead grass and leaves, straw and other plants (and which thrive in damp weather).
By the end of July, many are typically the victims of astronomically high mold counts and the allergy symptoms which accompany them.
Another common seasonal woe is what is often called a "summer cold." This is a misnomer. Contrary to the typical winter cold which is caused by a viral infection, the "summer cold" is generally the result of an allergic reaction to airborne particles and usually involves an irritating inflammation of the nose (allergic rhinitis).
While there may be some truth to the old axiom that "misery loves company" (an estimated 14 million Americans suffer from allergic rhinitis), the facts don't bring relief. If an allergic condition becomes more than a mere nuisance, if it chronically interferes with the basic quality of life, then a visit to a physician is probably warranted.
In addition to the new generation of prescription medication that's bringing relief to allergy sufferers, there are a number of self-help measures that can help allergic persons get through another summer.
You don't have to have a runny nose and watery eyes to be allergic. If you suffer from any of the following symptoms on a regular basis, it would probably be to your benefit to consult a physician for appropriate testing, diagnosis and treatment:
It is also advisable to consult an allergist if over-the-counter medications are either no longer effective and/ or if they are causing uncomfortable side effects (such as drowsiness and/or a dry mouth).
With the knowledge, skills and prescription pharmaceuticals available today, there is no reason for anyone to suffer from chronic and annoying allergy symptoms.
A new class of medications, called leukotriene blockers, is bringing relief to allergy sufferers of all ages.
One of these medications, Singulair, is a once-a-day treatment approved for the treatment of allergic rhinitis in adults, teens and children as young as six.
By contrast to antihistamines (such as Claritin, Allegra, and Zyrtec) which block histamine receptors, Singulair works by blocking leukotrienes, a different inflammatory mediator.
In addition to this new generation of pharmaceuticals, nasal steroid sprays are also being modified into a more patient- and environmentally-friendly form. While most prescription nasal steroids are saline-based pump sprays, a new (actually an update of an old) delivery offering an aerosolized (and, hence, drier) spray will soon be available.
The old versions of these sprays utilized fluorocarbons which are environmentally unfriendly. The new versions avoid that.
Even if you've had a history of classic allergy symptoms, there's no substitute for objectively measuring your sensitivities. In addition to skin testing (which has an impressive, 100-year-plus track record), allergies may now also be assessed through blood testing. Typically, a serum sample is sent to an outside lab and measured for antibodies to common allergens such as pollen, dust, mold and animal dander.
While allergies are extremely common, they are eminently diagnosable and treatable.

Bellator 119 a Success but Storm Clouds Gather for PPV Prospects
Last night, Bellator 119 was held at Casino Rama in Orillia, a sleepy town about two hours north of Toronto. By some standards, the show was a success—it featured performances by a talented, well-matched card punctuated with Daniel Weichel (33-8) finishing Desmond Green (11-2) via rear naked choke in the second round of the featherweight tournament finale. It was the type of mid-level show that has proved financially sustainable in the gritty dog-eat-dog world of MMA promotions. Regardless of sweeping reports from Sherdog.com and MMAFighting.com that Eddie Alvarez is pulling out of the inaugural Bellator pay-per-view show next week (reports that Bjorn Rebney denied at the post-fight presser), the promotion'soverall prospects for expansion are limited.
On the undercard of Bellator 119, Brazilian featherweight Marlon Sandro faced London, Ontario native Chris Horodecki. Sandro controlled the pace, committing to his strikes and dominating Horodecki to earn the judge's decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). At the post-fight presser, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney explained reasons why the bout was intentionally hidden among the untelevised preliminary bouts:
"Ran into some difficult contract situations that came to light in the last 24-48 hours before the fight…we all felt it was a better decision to keep the [Sandro-Horodecki] fight off TV and not exacerbate a bad situation," said Rebney. "We got a lot of claims coming in from other camps that were claiming an interest in Chris Horodecki. We didn't want to put him in a horrible spot of receiving a big lawsuit."
Chris Horodecki has fought in three separate promotions since his last three-fight Bellator stint. If he is still under contract to another promotion, Horodecki needs to question his management for placing him in the precarious lose-lose position of limited exposure and shortchanging Bellator's TV product.Read More DIGG THIS

:paw: Hi all. I am at a loss here. We have always had Cavvies and loved them all, but we had a special boy whom we lost a couple of months ago. My "Buddy" was 10 years old and he and I had a very special bond. I have loved with all my heart all our little Cavvies, but my "Buddy" and I were especially close. We've lost Cavvies before, but this time, I feel terribly confused about how I am feeling. I am continuously having "flashbacks" of him as a puppy, of all the things we did together, his last moments in life etc, etc. I am finding myself continuously breaking my heart , crying uncontrollably, and have an actual physical pain in my chest...am I going mad??? The little Cavvies we have lost over the years I have broken my heart over too, but this time, it feels so different. As crazy as this sounds, I feel as if a part of my soul is gone...I have a wonderful husband whom I love dearly, but I feel as 'tho I have lost the love of my life...only you guys on this site will understand...is something wrong with me???...I have never ever felt this way over any of my other wee dogs in the past...I've tried and tried the "acceptance" bit...how do I handle this, what do I do??? Also, does anyone know of a site etc. where you can get a replica stuffed toy, made up of your dog's photo? Thanks Guys, love to you all and your wee furbabies. :paw:

Making soft pretzels at home has never been easier! Store bought or homemade pizza dough makes some of the best pretzels you will ever taste. They bake up golden and crusty with tender, chewy middles that are just as good if not better than traditional pretzels.
Where there's pizza dough let there be cheese! Mozzarella, Parmesan and cream cheese plus pizza sauce equals a gooey dip made purely for your dipping pleasure.
These are completely customizable to how big or small, thin or fat you want to make them. You can make short, chubby ones or tall, skinny ones. Whatever suits your fancy.
The ones you see here are 4 ounces of pizza dough rolled out to 24-inch ropes. They're a tad on the big side.
If you find the dough hard to work with let it rest a few minutes in between "rolling" it out. Aside from the traditional method of rolling it under your palm on a lightly floured surface you can also pick it up and gently roll it between the palm of your hands working your way down the rope.
Aside from coarse salt you be creative and sprinkle the tops with Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, poppy seeds, sesame seeds or caraway seeds. Even coarse sugar for a sweet twist. You can also brush them with butter hot from the oven and dip them in cinnamon sugar. Whatever your little heart desires.
The pizza dip isn't mandatory! I love honey mustard for dunking them in and have also been known to dip them in everything from peanut butter to ketchup to softened cream cheese to mayo. I'm a wild one.
Something about a hot pretzel makes me a little crazy.
Making soft pretzels at home has never been easier! Store bought or homemade pizza dough makes some of the best pretzels you will ever taste.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silpat.
- Divide the dough into 3 or 4 ounce pieces of dough (1/3 - 1/2 cup each).
- On a lightly floured surface roll out under your palm into 20 - 24 inch long ropes. It may take a few minutes to get them that long - roll them out then allow the dough to rest for a few minutes then repeat until you get to desired length. You can also pick up the dough and roll it between the palms of your hands working your way down the length of the rope.
- Form the ropes into pretzels by making a circle with them then twisting the two ends together and bringing it down onto the bottom of the circle. Place on baking sheet, brush with butter or egg and sprinkle with salt. Repeat until all the pretzels are made.
- Bake 12 - 16 minutes depending on their size until golden brown.They are best eaten warm or within a few hours of baking.
- To reheat: 350 degrees F. in the oven for 5 - 10 minutes or until warm.
Mozzarella, Parmesan and cream cheese plus pizza sauce equals a gooey dip made purely for your dipping pleasure.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix all the ingredients together and place in a small greased casserole dish or ramekin.
- Bake about 15 - 20 minutes or until bubbly all over, stirring it halfway through.
This dip was made for Pizza Dough Pretzels

SCons / ModularExample
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/ModularExample
This page describes one way to create a modular build that can support multiple platforms and support building multiple setups at a time. This is one way, not necessarily the best way.
Supporting multiple builds
To support multiple builds at a time, each build can be separated into a setup file. One or more files can be specified by the SETUP on the command line. If none are specified only the command line options are used:
#!python import os import glob setup = ARGUMENTS.get('SETUP', None) if setup is None: setup = [ None ] # If not setup specified, do one pass only with ARGUMENTS else: parts = setup.split(os.pathsep) setup = [] for part in parts: setup.extend(glob.glob(part)) if len(setup) == 0: print 'SETUP specified but no matching setup files found' Exit()
Separating the configuration
To simplify the configuration of the environments and reduce the amount of conditional tests, each supported platform,compiler,etc is separated into a configuration module. This configuration is specified by the CONFIG option and loaded dynamically. It contains certain useful functions for creating the options, environment, and configure tests, as well as preparing the environment with any needed variables and flags. Before creating this configuration, it still needs to be detected from the setup file or command line:
#!python def DetectConfig(file, args): import sys dummyvars = Variables(file, args) dummyvars.Add('CONFIG') dummyenv = Environment(options=dummyopts, TOOLS=[]) name = dummyenv['CONFIG'] if not name: return None # Dynamically load the configuration module name = 'build.config.' + name __import__(name, dict(), dict()) return sys.modules[name]
Then, for each setup file create the options, build environment, tests, etc.
#!python for setupfile in setup: config = DetectConfig(setupfile, ARGUMENTS) if config is None: # Raise error, or log error and continue with next setup continue # Create variables, first config-specific then the global ones vars = config.Variables(setupfile, ARGUMENTS) vars.Add(...) # Create environment add do config-specific initialization from variables # such as loading tools, setting build options, build flags, etc. Then do # and global setup needed env = config.Environment(vars) ... ... # Running configure tests by getting them from the config module, passing in any extra # tests needed globaly. The config module will run some config-specific tests and then # return the Configure object for any more tests needed conf = config.Configure(env, extra_tests) conf.Check... env = conf.Finish() Export('env', 'config')
The config module's Environment and Configure functions may also add some helper methods to the base environment. It should use env.AddMethod and not AddMethod so that the method added will get rebound for any cloned environment. In addition other files may also add some helper methods.
Platform-specific code
The config module can set up into the environment which platform-specific code directory should be build, so the build system can then use that directory to build the platform specfic code library, and add a method for the later code to use that library:
#!python Import('*') # First build platform-dependent code library # The SConscript file will add a method to the base environment 'SetupPlatformLibrary' SConscript(env['PLATFORMDIR'] + '/SConscript') # Next prepare and build main code sources = Glob('*.c') lenv = env.Clone() lenv.SetupPlatformLibrary() program = lenv.Program(sources) # Remember the target for later packaging in the base environment env['BUILDTARGETS']['program'] = program

Here at Shirt.Woot, we're always trying to listen to our community, to meet your needs, gain your trust, and take your money. So for the proverbial "limited time", we're offering our daily shirt designs on your choice of our current Anvil blanks for $12 or American Apparel blanks for $13. Think of it as a low-calorie, less messy alternative to the McRib.
You guys wouldn't happen to have any opinions about this particular issue, would you? Let fly in the forums below. And enjoy the choice while it lasts, because it won't last long.
I have bought dozens of Woot shirts, but only one (for myself) since the switch to Anvil, and I was disappointed in the quality. The stitching wasn't straight, the material felt thinner, and the collar curled after a single wash.
Having American Apparel back as an option (even at a $1 premium) might be enough to get me to buy some shirts here again.
I appreciate the option. You might actually get some money from me during this... I've bought no new shirts since the change, and I used to buy all the time. I hope that listening to your customers will benefit your company.
For the record, I did try the new shirts, and was disappointed (Grim Optimism remix).
Niiiiiiiiiice. And here I had just about succeeded in convincing myself that 5 dozen or so tshirts were more than enough for a lifetime. Now here's to hoping you print a bunch of designs I like during this experiment. Thank you so much, woot, for doing this!
"Vote with your wallet" - well, let's do that folks. Lots of people said they'd pay more to have AA back, and now it's back, so let's prove to the Woot overloads that we prefer it!
Wake me up after the reaction to whatever shirtwoot! commits to after the choice goes away ; ) Until then, enjoy your options, those that want 'em. I'll enjoy no price increase...yet.

Now we have to hope the shirt designs are popular, too.
Opinions!? We've got plenty of opinions. I'm sure you'll be hearing a few of them.
I like the Anvils so this makes no difference to me, but I do like that people too small to wear the Anvil small and the t-shirt connoisseurs who prefer the AA can have their t-shirts and wear them too.
This is a great idea. Alas, a day late, and I am a dollar short.
I always think of dailies and derby winners as two different categories. The wording seems to imply both are the same for these purposes. Clarify?
Well, I won't hesitate to buy if it's a fun design. Of course I wish I could get items from the top 20, and the back list in AA. Thank you for taking a step closer.
I'm definitely in support of this. The Quality definitely wasn't there on the Anvil Shirts. I'll Gladly pay an extra dollar for an AA shirt. Here's hoping you guys make this permanent!
STELLAR! Been waiting for this option for countless months. Now my wallet is running away in fear, it knows what it is in for when the right designs roll around...
This doesn't affect me at all, but I'm glad people who want it have the option.
For the record I was super pissed about the change to Anvil blanks because I'd used Anvil shirts for my own screenprinting and they sucked terribly, but I must have been using different fabric blends or something because I really do like the Anvil shirts that Woot is using.
Having options is good. I'm happy with either the AA or Anvil blanks.
I feel the EXACT opposite. the Anvil shirts I have bought seem thicker and don't wear out as fast.

Now bring on Unstealthy 5 and please reconsider and offer the AA option on the Top 20 (I would buy 3 more Unstealthy 4 if they were offered as AA).
I only bought one shirt after the change, so I am excited to pay more!
Hey mods/purchasers, I've got a little input on the Anvil vs. AA debate! I am a pretty large guy, yet I prefer the so-called "slim-fitting" AA shirts better. I wear a 3X in both AA and Anvil, but the thing I like best about the AA shirts is that AA shirts are a fair bit longer!
With the new Anvil shirts, I basically have to wear a wife beater under my shirt because at 6'4", the Anvil shirts are just too short if I don't keep my arms at my sides (wearing an extra layer is a pretty big problem here in Florida, especially in the summer). AA shirts, on the other hand, are plenty long enough for me! Not to mention the fact that they're more comfortable and the stitching is better on AA's, but think of the length difference for guys like if you would, Woot!
Thank you! Now to wait for a design I want to own. I will absolutely be shopping for shirts again. Just in time for summer, if we can ever move past winter in the Ozarks!
This is fantastic news, thank you so much! I LOVED the quality, fit and feel of the AA shirts (tall, thin guy here) and am pleased to have them back, even for a $1+ premium. I'm pretty sure I was one of the ones that said they would be willing to pay more for the AA, back when the change over first happened.
I will say that after getting a few Anvils I was pleased with the printing (more or less, though a few odd stitching mistakes made shoulders lopsided). BUT, I am overjoyed to have the AA option! Please consider keeping them, or even expanding it to all designs! Now, off to buy today's shirt, which thankfully is a design I like
Color me pleasantly surprised. I hope if this goes over well that you will offer the back catalog in AA. There were quite a few shirts I passed up on because of the Anvil blanks that I would really like to purchase.
Too bad I don't like the shirt today, hope I see something I like before "a limited time" is up.
I forgot to add this:
I have had the opposite experience with a majority of my wardrobe Woot shirts.... Fewer random holes in the Anvil shirts over time.
How slim-fit are the AA's? I looked at the sizing chart and the width is indicated as being the same. I like a loose t-shirt (and so far woot's been fine there) but I also like long t-shirts. Should I order a size extra or would that be going too far?
Would you elaborate? I have really liked the Anvil shirts, but you see, a Grim Optimism replacement is seriously overdue for me. The shirt color, the 2nd run coloring, what? What I would REALLY love is for the design to be split on a zipper hoodie, and I have suggested it.

As a lady, I really prefer the AA to the anvil. The fabric is more fitting an they're not so short. Plus, the fabric of the anvils feels very cheap, and I have to be careful not to put them in the wash, or their shape is pretty much ruined forever. I will almost certainly buy more shirts if you continue to make them available on AAs. I can actually think of a few of my favorite shirts I would rebuy on AAs, given the chance.
I saw today's shirt and thought to myself - wow what a nice shirt - too bad i've been shying away from woot shirts since the change. THEN I saw the "also available on..." note. Bought one immediately.
Why on earth would I want a better quality shirt?
Would definitely prefer to order the AA shirts.
The sizing was better for me, and the material felt nicer.
Way to go, woot team.
I've never had a problem with the anvil shirts but I know many people have had fit and size issues, especially with the women's tees.
I hope the logistics of this aren't too tricky. Making everybody happy is never easy.

We need to bring back all the people that left Shirt.Woot! because of the Anvil blanks, though. Everyone who knows someone who left needs to tell them they need to come back, check every day, and vote with their wallet.
Unfortunately, I don't know anyone.
If anyone is still monitoring this thread, I would like to add my WOOHOO! to the AA.
Anvil shirts are terrible. I live in a wheelchair, and they're short, and they pull up so my backfat hangs out, and there are some things that nobody should see.
Add another yay to the AA option. I was a shirtwoot addict until the change. I tried the Anvil tees, but I hated their fit and feel. I'd end up taking off the Anvil shirt and putting on an AA shirt with a sigh of relief. I've been ponying up for other places that sell on the AA women's blanks, but that gets expensive real quick. Here's hoping an appealing daily turns up soon! I love Walmazan, but not a buy for this veggie girl.
Me too. I have the same problems with the collars of the Anvil shirts curling. Once they are washed they are pretty much useless. I have been very reluctant to buy new shirts because the quality has been so poor.
I wonder if the reason to stick to first day is one of logistics or one of statistics?
Either way, I'd buy that for a dollar.
Unfortunately, this is a too little, too late. A lot of people are still upset at the more expensive cart option and increased price in shipping. Are the AA shirts still made in America? I have not purchased a t-shirt from Woot (check my history, ninjas) since they switched t-shirts, increased the price and decreased the quality.
My moobs look great in fitted shirts!!!!!!!!!

size question. looking at the charts it appears that if i was a woman's large for an anvil, the xl in AA will still be too small??
any input on the ladies sizing??
And I'm SHOCKED anyone would prefer the Anvils over AA. Well I guess this is the best of both worlds for us now. :-) Thank you Woot for listening. Please continue this offer!
Amerian Apparel all the way.
That said, if you guys start printing on Junk Food teeshirts, I will like, basically buy every design you print.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—The number of people who died in Minnesota traffic crashes rose in 2012 after five years of improving numbers.
The Department of Public Safety says preliminary reports show 378 people died across the state last year. That's up from 368 traffic deaths in 2011.
The department's Office of Traffic Safety says the 2012 number could approach 400 after additional crash reports are submitted.
A St. Cloud Times report ( http://on.sctimes.com/VKUywd) says possible factors in the increase include drunken or distracted drivers, as well as people not wearing seatbelts.
The fatalities include 53 motorcyclist deaths, a 25 percent increase. Traffic officials say that could have been due to a warm winter that led to faster, unsafe speeds.
Drunken-driving crashes accounted for more than one-third of Minnesota's traffic fatalities.

Researchers see link between deadly spread of diarrhea, more prolonged droughts in Africa
The mention of diarrhea is likely to elicit a vague squeamishness in the First World, where indoor toilets and clean water for washing are commonplace, but for thousands of children living in drought-plagued sub-Saharan Africa, the subject is one of life and death.
Although the illness is both easily preventable and treatable, World Health Organization data show that close to 920,000 people in the U.N. agency's Africa region died of diarrheal diseases in 2008. Nearly three-quarters of these deaths were children younger than 4, and this region accounts for 40 percent of global deaths from diarrhea in young children.
Climate change could make this problem even worse. A study published last week in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health reveals a direct link between the hotter, drier conditions associated with climate change and an increased incidence of diarrheal diseases in Botswana.
Botswana, a landlocked country north of South Africa, experiences a wet season between November and April and a dry season between May and October. By comparing 30 years of government health facility records with precipitation and temperature data, scientists found that 20 percent more people became sick with diarrhea during the dry season.
Climate change is likely to intensify the dry season conditions linked with diarrhea. Southern Africa could experience temperature rise of up to 4 degrees Celsius by 2080, according to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's most recent report, and most models also predict a decrease in rainfall.
"If climate change proceeds as projected ... that will increase the degree to which diarrhea is experienced by communities -- particularly very vulnerable communities," said Kathleen Alexander, lead author of the report and an associate professor of wildlife at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Va.
Although the study was restricted to Botswana, Alexander says the outcome would likely be the same in other arid regions, as in the neighboring countries of Namibia and Zimbabwe.
'There's so many flies'
The reason warmer, drier conditions cause a high incidence of diarrhea is not entirely clear. In fact, Alexander was surprised at this result, as many other studies have linked diarrheal diseases with the rainy season. While the researchers did see a peak of diarrhea cases in the rainy season as well, they were puzzled to find that far more cases were reported in October.
But while Alexander was visiting a hospital in Botswana, a local nurse suggested a plausible link:
"She said: 'Well, it's flies, it's flies, that's the problem -- there's so many flies,'" Alexander recalled. "And I got to thinking about that. So I went back and started looking at the literature, and the literature's pretty clear that dry, hot conditions, which characterize October, are very supportive and conducive towards increased fly breeding and activity."
Flies, which often breed in fecal material, are carriers of several diarrheal diseases, like salmonella and cryptosporidiosis. And climate change will not have the same effect on flies as it will on polar bears.
"A recent study identifies that increases in temperatures associated with forecasted climate change will dramatically increase fly population density with M. domestica, for example, increasing 244 percent by 2080 under the worst case climatic scenario, and by 156 percent under the moderately optimistic medium-low emissions scenario," the report states.
Such a link has not yet been proved through research, but Alexander suspects that simple steps to improve hygiene, like placing screens over openings in pit toilets and installing toilet lids, could go a long way to preventing fly-borne diarrheal diseases.
How an inconvenient disease can become devastating
A 2005 report prepared by the U.N. Development Programme showed that although the majority of Botswanans can get safe water, very few of the country's poor have access to adequate sanitation. Alexander, who has lived in Botswana since the late 1980s, said many of the people she works with can't afford the connection fee to access public sewage systems. Many others don't even have access to a pit latrine, she said, and there is often a fee for using a public bathroom facility.
Creating better access to sanitation is generally thought to be the best way to decrease the number of diarrhea cases. "To improve conditions, the emphasis is on encouraging hand washing practice, boiling and/or sieving their drinking water, food warming and prosper disposal of refuse," Charles Berko, general secretary of the African Public Health Network at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, explained in an email.
These steps are far simpler than reversing global warming. But if sanitation is not improved in vulnerable communities before the temperature rises, diarrheal disease could become even more devastating, the study said.
"If you look at two things, the climate change effect and the effects of [improved] sanitation and hygiene, sanitation and hygiene will have a larger effect than climate change ever will -- if we can get it on board," Alexander said.
"When you go to these homes and you see people have a reed hut with a dirt floor, they don't have a toilet, their kids are sitting in the soil, and they don't have very much -- there's no resiliency there," she added. "There's an urgent need to address present-day health challenges so we're prepared for these other changes, because the impacts of climate change arise from these existing vulnerabilities."

perhaps there is a better forum for asking this question, but i specifically thought ektoric might have some insight about it, or at least good speculation, either way i thought it might be interesting outside pm.
python is an interpreted language- i have nothing against that, and i think there are jit compilers for making python run faster. do you think sugar will ever use one? if it doesn't already.
it seems there are two ways of this happening, i'm not entirely sure both are possible. the ideal and more likely way is that it would become a native feature of sugar: jit python would become the rule. (despite the word "compiler," all code would still be interpreted, you could still change the source as easily as you do now) the other way (if it's possible) would be if someone made a sort of jit "plugin" so that when integrated with sugar, it would perform faster. that'd be cool too- if an extra step at least.
