text: Negotiators Return Conference Report on Farm Bill House is expected to take up bill later this week Published on: Jan 27, 2014 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print House and Senate agriculture leaders on Monday announced a bipartisan, bicameral agreement on a five-year farm bill. The bill, dubbed the Agricultural Act of 2014, is estimated to save about $24 billion over a 10-year period. The House is expected to take up the report later this week, while the Senate may consider it next week. "Despite the Senate's unwillingness to challenge the status-quo and include all of the critical reforms to important programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the finalized Farm Bill will include a new initiative that allows states to implement work requirements for able-bodied adults as well as initiatives to help move individuals from dependence to self-sufficiency and independence," commented House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who said he would support the bill.END IN SIGHT? The House is expected to take up the new farm bill later this week The bill eliminates direct payments and strengthens disaster support for farmers. Conservation programs are also a focus of the agreement, the Senate and House ag committees report. Several key issues in the House and Senate versions of the bill lengthened the negotiating process, including food stamps, payment limits and the Country of Origin Labeling rule. "While I hoped many of (the farm and food stamp) reforms would go further, the status quo is simply unacceptable," noted House Speaker John Boehner. "I have voted against the last two Farm Bills because, in my view, they made farm and food stamp policy worse rather than better. This legislation, however, is worthy of the House's support." According to a joint statement from the House and Senate ag committees, savings from the nutrition title were afforded without removing anyone from the SNAP program. Several changes were made, however, including closing a loophole that allowed states to provide food benefits to residents automatically if they receive a small amount of heating aid. The statement indicated that new pilot programs to help people secure employment through job training and other services have also been approved in the new bill, along with a provision that prohibits lottery winners from receiving assistance. "I am proud of our efforts to finish a farm bill conference report with significant savings and reforms," said Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. "We are putting in place sound policy that is good for farmers, ranchers, consumers, and those who have hit difficult times. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said the bill "proves that by working across party lines we can reform programs to save taxpayer money while strengthening efforts to grow our economy." Country of Origin Labeling regulations appear to be unchanged in the farm bill report. Earlier Monday, livestock groups threatened to oppose the final bill if COOL regulations were included. The groups, including the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, said the rules would create a rift between key trading partners Canada and Mexico, both of which have filed disputes with the World Trade Organization regarding COOL. In addition, the groups say, costs will be higher for packers, who will be forced to segregate animals based on the country in which they were raised, born and slaughtered. Supporters say the rule provides consumers with needed information. On the safety net front, the bill includes a choice between a revenue program that covers both price and yield losses with county and farm level options, and a price support program which allows the optional purchase of insurance coverage under a Supplemental Coverage Option. The bill also eliminates direct payments while maintaining decoupled farm support programs that will minimize the possibility of planting and production distortions that could trigger new WTO challenges. The language in Title 1 allows producers to choose between maintaining existing crop acreage base or reallocating their current base acreage to reflect average acres planted to covered commodities in 2009-2012, the American Soybean Association reports. For crop insurance, the bill makes enterprise units permanent, allows growers to purchase enterprise unit coverage for both irrigated and dryland crops, authorizes a new Supplemental Coverage Option and will provide a10% increase in premium support to beginning farmers and ranchers. Conservation compliance will also be tied to crop insurance. The bill includes ag research programs, like the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative and the new Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research. The Foreign Market Development and Market Access Program are also included in the bill, ASA points out. Dairy programs, which were rumored to be a significant hang-up in negotiations, will now include a stand-alone margin insurance program, according to the National Milk Producers Federation. It also establishes a system for the USDA to purchase consumer-packaged dairy products during low-margin periods, which will stimulate demand and help dairy farmers when they need it most, and only then, NMPF said. "Compromise is rare in Washington these days but it's what is needed to actually get things done," commented Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn. "While it's no secret that I do not support some of the final bill's provisions, I believe my reservations are outweighed by the need to provide long term certainty for agriculture and nutrition programs. This process has been going on far too long; I urge my colleagues to support this bill and the President to quickly sign it into law."

Guelph Jazz Festival, September 8-12, 2010
Guelph, Canada
September 8-12, 2010
Some music festivals are holidays and some are expeditions. The annual Guelph Jazz Festival & Colloquium in Ontario has a way of being more safari than respite. The days are long, with lectures and panel discussions on some days beginning at 9:00am and concerts on others as early as 10:30, and then running on into the early hours of the morning. The rewards, too, are plentifulmore so, in fact, than are possible to take in. Adding to the usually exhaustive schedule, the 2010 instalment added a "nuit blanche" of concerts, installations and site-specific works lasting one night through until the following morning. There was no way to catch it all. Even without sleeping, enough overlapped that the best bet was sometimes to walk around downtown and see what could be stumbled upon (which could even be one of a number of paintings stowed around town, with instructions to return it to a particular gallery). And when exhaustion finally caught up, the model of George Lewis could be followed. Speaking at the opening of his installation with sculptor Eric Metcalfe, Lewis said, "I come from the period of sitting around while La Monte Young is playing the Well-Tempered Piano, and waking up again and he's still playing it. And nobody seemed to find that problematic."
The first day of performances, Sept. 5, 2010, following the full days of academic presentations on arts and technology, was a decidedly 21st Century take on the " Improvising Bodies" theme of the festival, perhaps, but what stood out in the first two sets was how well they came offnot only free of technological glitches, but achieving an organic, warm quality. Lewis' piece used samples of an orchestral work of his, dissected and then reanimated by the activity around them, housed in Northwestern-design totems. Before their opening reception, Pauline Oliveros presented an octet stretched across the Americas. The Skype collaboration featured musicians also in Troy, NY, and Bogotá, Colombia, and came off remarkably welldue, in part, to dedicated Web 2 lines that, for the most part, prevented the glitches and time lags that usually plague such long-distance meetings.
Roger Dean played compositions for live and prerecorded pianos with electronic processing, and despite references to Thelonious Monk, it sounded, at times, more like Chopin, or George Winston, or the Love Story theme, maybe, but slowly the pianos began echoing onto themselvesdoubling back and filling in gaps until eventually there were different parts coming from speakers in the four corners of the small room.
The technology may have outshone the music, but the gradual process of filling the room was effective.
Electronic interfaces were also on display during an excellent double bill of Ben Grossman and Germaine Liu, followed by a first meeting (with no more rehearsal than a soundcheck) by Bob Ostertag, Sylvie Courvoisier, Taylor Ho Bynum and Jim Black. And while Grossman was playing through effects, controlled via an iPad and another laptop, as well as foot pedals, his hurdy-gurdy playing felt very human. Even if the long drones were electronically manipulated, they felt natural, and were complemented by Liu' s quietly tactile percussiona drum kit and a collection of handheld percussion, with sticks rarely used.
Ostertag is a pioneer in bringing electronics and sampling into improvised music, having worked with Anthony Braxton early in his career, and becoming a fixture in New York' s downtown scene, before dedicating himself to political activism, then computer programming, and recently coming back around to performance. He was present for the colloquium, but asked to do a " pure improv" situation, and consulted bassist Mark Dresser in putting his band together. Even for the three New Yorkers in the band, it was an unusual grouping. Ostertag worked with a touch-sensitive screen running to iBook, but was unfortunately too far down in the mix too much of the time. After some initial hesitation, Black opened up, and then Bynum saw a horn/drum duo trope that would occupy the first several minutes, before Courvoisier, hearing the slightest opening in the drums, moved inside the piano case. Meanwhile, Ostertag was busily drawing awayinaudible at first until a Qawwali song seeped inthen more voices, twisting through and fading away. Later, it would be cartoon sound effects. By design or not, Ostertag remained behind the rest of the group, and the others kept being a jazz trio until Courvoisier and Black dropped out, Bynum mirroring the sounds of distorted voices and something new emerging. Black returned, with heavy start-and-stop rock drumming. Courvoisier muted the piano strings and, after a couple group ebbs and flows, they became a spring-loaded backing for Bynum, small and tense and slippery, while he forced narrow lines of air through his pocket trumpet. Ostertag clearly enjoys working with acoustic instruments, as with his Say No More project, but this time the concept was to approach the meeting without concept. It was imperfect, dangerous and exciting.
A pair of acronyms suggested sub-themes throughout the festival: the Chicago musicians' collective, AACM (the Association for the Advancement of Creative Music), and the 40-year-old German record label ECM (Edition of Contemporary Music). In addition to his sound-design installation, Lewis (who is not just a member but, literally, wrote the book on the AACM) took part in a concert and panel discussion featuring his trio with Muhal Richard Abrams and Roscoe Mitchell. On top of that was the added surprise of Lincoln " Chicago Beau" Beauchampwho played harmonica on some of the earliest AACM recordingson hand to lead the panel and introduce the band. But, perhaps, even more surprising was the morning panel, finding the pianist and elder of the group in a talkative mood.
Abramswho rarely does interviews or speaks publiclyspoke openly about the practice of improvisation and the philosophies of the AACM, including acts such as beginning concerts in silent meditation, that have implied to some a Muslim backing to the organization.
"No one dictated what you should think when you face east," Abrams said. "We used to talk about the sorts of food you should eat without actually dictating what you eat. These things are not musical things, but they're human things." Responding to a question from the audience, Abrams said firmly that he doesn't give out advice. But he did go on to suggest certain ways of operating. "We had no reason to copy each other," he said. "It was amazing. Maybe it was because we didn't have any star bands. What I've learned through all these years is to appreciate practice."
Lewis, who came to the organization later than founders Abrams and Mitchell, underscored the commitment to originality within the organization. "In the end, the people who were beginners weren't necessarily inferior to the people who were more experienced, because we were all doing something new, and that was composing," he said. "The rule was you had to present your own, original music."
The Trio' s concert, the following night, proved to be the highlight of the five days. Mitchell opened on alto, stating a phrase and repeating it, then turning to a prolonged, breathy tone that Lewis met on trombone. Abrams showed a wise reserve, common to him in recent improv situations, listening hard to his bandmates, carefully sharing a chord, a single note, a brief glissando every minute or so, sitting on the sustain pedal for a few delicate lines, and then starting again. They were fast and quiet, supplemented, at times, by gently pervasive emanations from Lewis' s laptop, matching tempi and sitting behind the acoustic instruments.
All three were amazing in their in-the-moment arrangements, playing together and playing apart. Lewis created some particularly nice moments, setting a decaying loop, picking up his trombone, and playing alongside himself for a few moments. Eventually Mitchell introduced a lament which, remarkably, Lewis seemed to match in a unison statement, while Abrams punctuated it with heavy chords crossing the keyboard. They were gracious, supporting and complementing each other in a group improvisation that was, maybe more than anything else, gentlemanly and focused. The trio called The Trio is just a smart outfit (and that doesn't only refer to Mitchell's haberdashery).
The ECM undercurrent was represented by pianist Marilyn Crispell, who played a wide-ranging solo set; a trio of saxophonist Charles Lloyd, tablaist Zakir Hussain and drummer Eric Harland; violinist Mark Feldman, who appeared with the Toronto world music ensemble, Tasa; and cellist David Darling, who was called in to replace Dino Saluzzi, after a schedule conflict prevented the Argentinian bandoneonist from attending.
Crispell began her morning set with strong and bold chordings, then worked into a quieter refrain, which is to say she made sure everyone was awake for the lullaby, and built it with remarkable beauty, resolving in a non-repeating song and only the briefest pause, punctuated by the release of a pedal, before spinning little jetties of notes through the air, slowly ramping up again to a near-rag. As she carefully constructed the piece, stepping back to let it breathe and moving in on it again, an energy and a playfulness developed. Nearing the end, she took to the inside of the case with a pair of drumsticks, slowly, gently making her way from the frame to the strings and playing pronounced melody and bass lines, returning to the keyboard for impossibly perfect low-end rolls, gliding effortlessly between heavy chord structures and melodies placed directly in the midst of the progressions, and then turning to a new melody that could have been a Vince Guaraldi theme, or a new song for one of the summer holidays. Answering a standing ovation, she began her encore standing with the assembled.
The Lloyd/Hussain/Harland group (Sangam, after the 2005 ECM recording of the same name), one of a number of strong trios (not just The Trio but a Henry Grimes, Jane Bunnett and Andrew Cyrille group; Grimes, again with guitarist Marc Ribot and drummer Chad Taylor; and pianist Marilyn Lerner with bassist Ken Filiano and drummer Lou Grassi). They balanced far more than three pieces, with alto saxophone and flute, piano (and four-handed piano and inside piano), vocals, kit drums, mallets tablas and hand bells, and all three members rotating between instruments. Sometimes they were a jazz trio, sometimes a percussion trio, but more often than not it was Hussain who stole the show. Feldman's set with Tasa was equally eclectic, an amalgam of tablas and Eastern vocals, with drum kit, electric guitar and bass, saxophone and trumpet. After the quintet played a couple of melting-pot pieces on their own, they brought out Feldman for an easy groove tripling violin, trumpet and flute lines. It was an unusual setting for Feldman in a sense, but as evidenced by his sessionography, he can do anything, and do so comfortably. And Darling played a powerful solo set, borrowing from Bach and then presenting a piece with eight prerecorded electric cello parts, the instrument on which he made his well-regarded album, 8 String Religion (Hearts of Spaxe, 1993).
The Ribot/Grimes/Taylor trio, which closed out the festival, was something of an offshoot of their excellent Albert Ayler project, Spiritual Unity, which also included trumpeter Roy Campbell. Without a saxophone (but with a bassist who actually played with Ayler) the band has gone from a quartet homage to one of the greatest voices of the 1960s New Thing to a guitar trio, still faithful to the spirit of those times. And even given the heights they were capable of hitting, there were some remarkable peaks of interplay. It's amazing to see wholike these three, like Crispellcan turn it out, once called upon to be morning people, pros who can deliver before lunchtime.
For reasons of national funding and hometown pride (or just plain proximity), Canadian festivals offer a great opportunity to hear Canadian artists often underrated outside their country. Toronto pianist Lerner brought a powerful piano trio with a New York rhythm section. Lerner was a marvel to watch, her left hand capable of dropping like a sack of bullets on a single key in the midst of her flights of fancy, alongside an extremely musical rhythm section. Filiano and Grassi met her working from a shared perspective that meter is made from tiny melodies.
But even in the heart of Ontario, the Montréalaise made a strong showing, with more than 50 appearing during the week. That was, in no small part, due to the wonderful marching band, Fanfare Pourpour, which played an absolutely infectious take On Quebecois folk fronted by a banjo, two guitars and two accordions, with brass and reeds (including Jean Derome) and percussion (not the least of which being Pierre Tanguay), ending in a parade which dropped its followers off at the Abrams/Mitchell/Lewis and Lloyd/Hussain/Harland double bill.
Another big band crossed the Ontario/Quebec divide. The 27-piece Ratchet Orchestra included Ambiances Magnetiques members Derome and Lori Freedman, along with Ontario players Scott Thomson, Ian Epps, and a tubist who went by the admirable moniker, Noah Countability. They played Latin-leaning tunes and easy grooves, with nicely balanced arrangements for a group sporting four percussionists, six strings plus electric guitar, piano, eight reeds, and a coterie of brassa stretch of pleasantries topped off with some marvelous cacophony.
Like festivals in Vancouver to its left and Victoriaville to its right, the Guelph Jazz Festival & Colloquium is an international event, but a big part of the attraction for the culture tourist is the chance to hear the nationalists. Why Canadian jazz remains such a secret is in itself a mystery.

Stocks ended in negative territory Thursday, with the S&P 500 snapping a six-day win streak, as ongoing jitters over the "fiscal cliff" negotiations kept investors nervous.
Stocks eased off their worst levels in the final minutes of trading following news that House Speaker John Boehner will meet President Barack Obama at the White House, with investors hoping for some developments on the "fiscal cliff."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 74.73 points, or 0.56 percent, to close at 13,170.72, led by Merck and UnitedHealth.
The S&P 500 declined 9.03 points, or 0.63 percent, to end at 1,419.45. The Nasdaq erased 21.65 points, or 0.72 percent, to finish at 2,992.16. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, ended above 16.
All key S&P sectors finished in the red, led by energy and health care.
"The market is betting the U.S. will not roll over the fiscal cliff—that does not mean an agreement will be reached by the end of the year, however," wrote Scott Wren, senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors. "The negotiating process could easily continue into mid-to-late January before a final agreement is signed, sealed and delivered. Some of the Santa Claus rally is likely already priced into stocks."
Earlier, Boehner reiterated that "serious differences" remain between him and Obama, saying the president hadn't made a proposal to cut spending. Stocks have zig-zagged in recent weeks on headlines from Washington.
"The President still has not made an offer that meets the standards, but Republicans have," said Boehner in a press conference. "It's clear that the President is just not serious about cutting spending, but spending is the problem."
Adding to woes, ratings agency S&P revised its outlook on UK to "negative" from "stable," adding there is a "one-in-three chance" that the ratings could be lowered if the UK's economic and fiscal performances weaken beyond current expectations.
Earlier, top central banks around the world including the Federal Reserve, the ECB, the Bank of England agreed to extend their arrangements to extend their credit lines for another year. The Bank of Japan is to consider the measure at its next meeting.
"It's another sign that they're going to be incredibly accommodative," said Joe Bell, senior equities analyst with Schaeffer's Investment Research. "There's been a lot of market uncertainty and this is the Fed's way of trying to give some certainty to the market."
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve met market expectations with another round of easing, this time with a pledge to keep interest rates low until unemployment falls below 6.5 percent and inflation tops 2.5 percent. But Chairman Ben Bernanke pointed out that even after the employment and inflation targets are triggered, that won't lead to an automatic raising of rates.
He also reiterated fear over the "fiscal cliff," saying that even the Fed's massive balance sheet expansion wouldn't be enough to stave off the effects, though the Fed may accelerate its asset purchases should cliff take effect. (Read more: El-Erian: Why Markets Shrugged Fed's Historic Move)
Apple declined nearly 2 percent following news that Google's mobile navigation application Google Maps will be available in Apple's app store. In September, Apple dropped Google's mapping service to launch its own when the tech giant launched the iPhone 5 and rolled out its iOS 6 mobile software platform.
Facebook rallied a day ahead of the social-networking giant's last big stock lock-up expiration, where nearly 156 million shares are expected to be released. The company's shares have surged more than 30 percent in the last three months, but still far from its market debut price of $38 a share.
Best Buy surged to lead the S&P 500 gainers amid expectations founder Richard Schulze will make a formal takeover offer for the consumer-electronics retailer this week in the range of $5 billion to $6 billion, according to a report.
Solarcity soared nearly 50 percent in its market debut on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "SCTY." The IPO was priced at $8 a share, which was much lower than the expected range.
Sprint Nextel is offering $2.90 a share to buy the rest of wireless Internet provider Clearwire that it doesn't already own. Clearwire shares soared nearly 15 percent.
CVS Caremark rallied to hit an all-time high after the pharmacy chain said it expects 2013 earnings to grow above this year's expected level and declared a 38 percent dividend increase.
Yum Brands gained after Goldman Sachs upgraded the parent company of KFC and Pizza Hut to "buy" from "neutral."
Among earnings, Adobe Systems is expected to post results after the closing bell.
Meanwhile, the Nasdaq announced that it will cancel a batch of erroneous pre-market trades that were greater than 10 percent away from the prior day's consolidated closing price. Stocks that were affected includes Citigroup, Hewlett-Packard, AT&T, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and Kroger.
On the economic front, producer prices declined for the second month in November, according to the Labor Department, as the cost of energy dropped the most in over three years.
Jobless claims fell for the fourth-straight week, dropping 29,000 to a seasonally adjusted 343,000, according to the Labor Department. Meanwhile, the four-week moving average for new claims fell 27,000 to 381,500. And retail sales edged up in November, according to the Commerce Department, but the gain was less than expected. Meanwhile, business inventories gained in October, in line with expectations.
Treasurys declined after the auctioned $13 billion in 30-year bonds at a high yield of 2.917 percent. The bid-to-cover was 2.50.

AIA Northern Celebrated 60 years in 2008
60th Celebration Event
The American Institute of Architects Northern Chapter, AIA Northern's 60-year history is marked with influential voices working to strengthen our communities, remember our past and design for our future. We have helped recognize and preserve our region's historic architecture, provided education within our schools, preserved our waterways and promoted the benefits of careful planning and good design. Through our efforts, we have successfully minimized the impact of development along our waterways, sought ways to further energy efficient design and construction practices, developed and taught curriculum in our area schools and assisted many community and non-profit organizations in the initial planning stages of their projects. Our celebration is one for the entire community. Thank you to all that were able to attend the Wednesday, June 25th event at the Sheraton in Duluth.
Gas Station 50th Anniversary Celebration Event
The Frank Lloyd Wright designed gas station in Cloquet, Minnesota, held an event on August 7, 2008 where community could come together to enjoy food and beverages, tours of the station, photo ppportunities, a 1950's Classic Car Show and Contes, atttendants in historic costume, gas at 1950's prices, and a Cloquet Chamber Business After Hours event.
Earlier that day a symposium was held where Jennifer Webb, PHD Assistant Professor, Art History, UMD, defined the popular culture of the 50's featuring examples of other gas stations or transportation structures; Wendy Johnson, Cloquet Pine Journal Publisher, moderated a discussion with the family on their experience working with Frank Lloyd Wright on the design of the Lindholm Gas Station; Tim Quigley, AIA, Past President of the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy, Board of the Minnesota Society of Architectural Historians, spoke on Frank Lloyd Wright his life and design philosophy; and Robert Pond, architect who worked with Wright on the design of the Lindholm Gas Station, talked about his personal experience working with Frank Lloyd Wright.
Sesquicentennial in 2007
In 2007, AIA Northern presented a three-part series addressing the role our waterways play in our area titled, Re-establishing Connections to Our Waterways. Community members, architects, planners and water resource specialists shared stories of the waterways' history, our current connections and hopes for our waterways in the future. The series culminated in a charrette design process which developed policies outlining the responsibilities of communities and individuals towards maintaining this region's outstanding water quality.

Apple shares enjoyed a terrific Monday, obliterating all of their losses from the prior week. And that could not have taken famed investor Jeff Gundlach, of DoubleLine Capital, by surprise.
After all, on Friday's "Options Action," Gundlach made the case that Apple's short-term bottom is in.
Gundlach has been bearish on Apple for some time now. As he noted, "I recommended against it in April, because of the basic viewpoint that it is somehow super-human, could do no wrong, and is going to take over the world." In other words, sentiment was so unbelievably overheated that Apple was due for a correction sooner or later.
But there were non-psychological reasons to get bearish as well. As Gundlach pointed out, this "super-human" belief came at the same time "some of their products, now that they're in their fifth generation, were showing only very incremental improvements." Worse, "the major product innovator isn't there anymore." Gundlach is of course talking about the late CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs.
Given these headwinds, "secular decline relative to the over-belief" remains "almost inevitable."
All of this being said, Gundlach now believes that it is time for short-term traders who have been short Apple to cover their shorts. Apple has just experienced a horrific two-month decline, and Gundlach attributes a lot of this to tax selling, rather than a reaction to fundamental catalysts.
Further, Gundlach noted that Apple's action on Friday was a textbook example of what a short-term bottom looks like. Look at Friday's chart, and you'll see a "knife-thrust down, and the reversal to a modest upward close." To Gundlach, this indicates that the stock is headed higher in the near-term.
So how much higher could it go? Gundlach sees the stock going about $50 higher from where it closed on Friday.
And what should you do with Apple stock when it's trading up at $575?
To Gundlach, the answer is clear. "I would view that as a selling opportunity."

Jacqueline Kennedy Collection
The glittering design of the Floral Drop-Leaf Dual Earrings is rich with history. The very first anniversary gift to Jackie from then-Senator JFK in 1954, these earrings were given to Jackie the night before their anniversary date. This was in keeping with what would become a life-long custom of giving gifts the day before a holiday. As they had many friends and a large family, the two exchanged gifts in a more private setting the night before anyone else would give them gifts.

I would really like to see a map with single number armies, like 3's on everything with a mix in of neutrals if that was possible. The double armies helps them show up easier.

SPOKANE, Idaho -- They've become a part of our American culture and now the future of the Twinkie, and other Hostess treats, are in jeopardy. Hostess Brands is shutting down for good, after striking union bakers refused to return to work.
Word is spreading fast that the iconic treats may soon become things of the past and locals are now stocking up by the armload.
KVUE sister station KREM checked several supermarkets on Spokane's South Hill and couldn't find any regular Twinkies. KREM could only find a few boxes of the chocolate filled Twinkies.
William and Rachel Oliver were shopping at the HICO Market in the Perry District. The store still has individual packs of Twinkies remaining. While the Olivers said they personally aren't big fans, Rachel said she stopped shopping with one of her friends because of her friend's Twinkie craving.

Best steak in Little Rock period – Every time me and the wife get an excuse to do so we treat ourselves to Sonny Williams. It is a bit expensive but the food is great and the service is wonderful. The only thing I could complain is they got rid of the chauteaubriand. That was a wonderful meat experience!
No skinny steaks, just like their motto says – I was in Little Rock for a month on business and this place was suggested to me as a great place to eat. It is a little pricey, especially for my measly $30 per diem but I purposely ate cheap 2 nights a week so I could go to Sonny William's every 3 nights. The steaks I had were great, the fillet (10 & 12 oz.) & T-bone. I have eaten at places like Fleming's and The Capitol Grill, both in Houston, TX. and this place was on par with them for ambiance, quality of food, service and the piano player was fantastic. He asked for any request and I asked if knew the piano interlude from The Godfather, when Marlon Brando is shot and Sonny has the family is "going to the mattresses". He played it note for note.
Any one going to Littler Rock should take an opportunity to visit the Clinton Library then treat yourself to Sonny William?s, it right down the street!
Superb Filet Mignon! – If I could afford it, I would eat at Sonny Williams several times a week. I love steak and the Filet Mignon at Sonny Williams is the best I've ever had. I also really like the atomoshere. I proposed to my wife there. I highly recommend Sonny Williams.
Much better than the current rating – I've always found CitySearch ratings very accurate. I would actually bump up the ratings for this restaurant to higher than an 8.7. We were there with a business group of 6 and our waitress was very friendly and attentive, regardless of the busy atmosphere. All of the food was excellent, including the appetizers, entrees, desserts, and even the wine. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The best food I had in Little Rock.

Central Cass athlete joining small company while competing in two sportsCasselton, ND (WDAY TV) - There's nothing unique about two sport athletes in high school, but when those two sports are in the same season? That's a rarity.
Casselton, ND (WDAY TV) - There's nothing unique about two sport athletes in high school, but when those two sports are in the same season? That's a rarity.
Central Cass's Connor Rieniets is doing something few have in North Dakota history.
Travis Lemar, Central Cass Wrestling Coach: "I coached Connor in football and he told me at practice one day, 'I'd like to wrestle this season.' I thought he was joking."
Mike Kegley, Central Cass Boys Basketball Coach: "When he first told me he was thinking about wrestling, I thought, with your frame? Yes! I wouldn't discourage him from doing that."
Connor Rieniets, Central Cass Junior: "I'd done golf and baseball in the spring. I figured I'd try basketball and wrestling."
Never mind that Rieniets hadn't wrestled since 6th grade or that he was going to be the starting center on the basketball team. But with the blessing of both his coaches, Rieniets began the "rarest" of doubles. In fact, the only North Dakotan anyone can remember who wrestled and played hoops at the same time was Bismarck's Jordan Engelhardt in 2003.
Kegley: "Not every athlete can do what he does. It's a pat on his back to go through two seasons and compete physically."
Lemar: "We didn't know what to expect. We knew he'd help us. We didn't know to what extent."
Wrestling as the Squirrels' 220 pounder, Rieniets posted a .500 record this season, helping Central Cass qualify for state with a 15-3 dual record.
Lemar: "His amount of improvement has been amazing. When he's on the mat, he gives us a different element. Guys we were getting pinned by, he's pinning."
Doing both hoops and wrestling, Rieniets quickly dropped 40 pounds, to get to 203.
Rieniets: "Feel like I'm in the best shape of my life."
Now that wrestling season has just wrapped, Rieniets can focus solely on basketball, where he averages 10 points and a team high 9 boards as the starting center for the 16-6 Squirrels.
Kegley: "He's very important to our team, his ability to play inside as an undersized 5-11 post and be effective versus bigger kids."
Rieniets is only a junior, so he could attempt the rare "double" again next year.
Rieniets: "I'm gonna think about it over the summer. It's been a grueling year for me and my parents, for getting me from place to place."
Either way, Rieniets is in some exclusive company in state history.

Jimmy Patsos got what he wanted after all.
"Three games in March," he said Sunday after Loyola beat Manhattan, 63-61, at Reitz Arena.
Three games to win the upcoming Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championships and get the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row.

Reitz Arena, Loyola University Maryland, 4501 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21210, USA
All he wanted was a shot at it. He doesn't ask for the sky, the moon and the stars above. But now Loyola, the little Catholic school at the corner of Charles St. and Cold Spring Lane, gets a chance to win three games in March and go to the Big Dance. Again.
Patsos will take that every time.
Oh, you should have seen him work the sidelines as Loyola won its 21st game to go 12-6 in the MAAC and lock up the third seed in the tournament.
In his ninth season at Loyola, Patsos remains one of the great sports characters in this town. And I mean that in the best sense of the word. He's loud, emotional, profane, demanding, inquisitive and fiercely devoted to his players.
And get this: he has this quaint notion that the Greyhounds are college students first. It was drummed into his head by the late John Wooden, the legendary "Wizard of Westwood" who coached UCLA to all those national championships in the 60s and 70s.
"One of his most important philosophies [was] these are college students who happen to be good at basketball," Patsos said last week. "That was one of Wooden's big things. That's why he wanted to teach them about life."
Patsos tries to teach his kids about life, too. So on their 15 different road trips this season covering nearly 15,000 miles across the country, Patsos says the Greyhounds were forced to endure what he calls "my cultural BS."
To that end, they visited the EMP (Experience Music Project) Museum in Seattle. They took a driving tour of the grand mansions of Newport, R.I. They saw Niagara Falls. They took in a Broadway show ("Golden Boy.")
They visited Graceland, where Elvis Presley gorged on peanut-butter-banana-and-bacon sandwiches and a daily buffet of codeine, morphine, Demerol and God knows what else. They visited another Memphis landmark, too, the Lorraine Motel, where another American icon, Martin Luther King Jr., was gunned down.
Patsos is also big on showing the 'Hounds movies. Movies that educate. Movies that inspire.
"Red Auerbach gave me the movies thing," he says of the NBA Hall of Fame coach and executive of the Boston Celtics. "Red Auerbach, [Bill] Russell, [Bob] Cousy, they all used to go to the movies. They really had to travel together back then. You were really a group. [Red] told me 'At this level, mid-major, you're traveling more like we used to, on buses.'
"Maryland plays now, they're gone at 8 o'clock at night," Patsos continued. "They land at 9. They eat and go to bed. They wake up, shoot, play and they're back. And that's great. That's the way it should be. 'Cause that's the level they're at.
"We're more: this is a two-day road trip to play one game, not a 17-hour road trip to play one game. It's more like 34. You're gonna be together."
So they watched "Argo" and talked about the Iranian hostage crisis. They watched "To Sir with Love," the Sidney Poitier classic and talked about racism and rising above tough times. They watched Mel Gibson in the "The Road Warrior" and talked about leadership.
"What did Mad Max teach us in 'The Road Warrior?'" Patsos said. "'I'll drive the tanker!' You gotta want to drive the tanker."
There were hits and misses with the players.
"Moonrise Kingdom?" Big miss.

Whitney Houston's sudden death wasn't necessarily the reason family, friends and the Hollywood elite gathered at the New Jersey Baptist Church of her childhood for a four-and-a-half-hour, invitation-only funeral.
Rather, it was her life — the accomplishments, the memories, her angelic voice and boundless talent — that was given tribute on that chilly, overcast afternoon.
While Houston's once bright life had spiraled into the abyss of addiction in recent years, her memorial service on Feb. 18 did not serve as yet another cautionary tale of success and destruction.
There was no mention of her failures or shortcomings. Choirs sang gospel hymns. Pop stars including Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys performed. Celebrities including Kevin Costner and Tyler Perry shared stories.
Only the Rev. Al Sharpton broached the subject that was undoubtedly on the minds of those in attendance when he called Houston's death "a wakeup call."
Such an intentionally uplifting memorial service is not an uncommon occurrence among Christian funerals.
Over recent generations, funerals have undergone a startling change, explained Lucy Bregman, author of "Preaching Death: The Transformation of Christian Funeral Sermons."
"Christians have been fascinated with death, with imagery and ideas surrounding it since the time when Jesus taught, suffered and died," Bregman writes. "The enigmatic pairing of resurrection and life, with death and its opposition to death has been intrinsic to Christian faith from the beginning."
Death was the enemy
Woodfin Grove, pastor emeritus at Anniston First United Methodist Church, conducted his first funeral in 1936, when he was a junior in high school and working as a youth minister for the First United Methodist Church in Ensley.
The full-time pastor was out of town when Brother Stovall, "one of the real saints of the church," passed away unexpectedly.
The 17-year-old Grove was asked by the family to lead the service.
When it came time to share a favorite memory of this pillar of congregation, Grove talked about how Brother Stovall was always asked to lead the final prayer of the Wednesday night worship service. He would kneel down beside his chair and end the prayer with, "Lord, if there are those about us who die without knowing thy Son, do not let his blood be on my apron."
Even though there were smiles during that funeral, Grove had a much different view growing up.
"When I was a young man, death was regarded as our enemy. It was the ultimate tragedy, and it's still that way in some cases. Even mature Christians don't see it as the next step in an orderly process. … Death is not the end. It's a transition," he said.
"Frankly, I'm glad to see that a sense of joy pervades a funeral today more so than when I was a child. Back then, you came away from a funeral dejected, burdened. Today, we often come away with a sense of hope and a sense of confidence. It's healthier — spiritually and mentally."
How science changed funerals
Christians have always had a lot to say about death's meaning, and it was repeated often in funerals — in songs, poems and sermons.
While fear and discontent may have seethed under the surface, funerals in 1899 weren't exercises in silence and denial. Neither were the funerals of the 1920s.
But as the decades of the 20th century passed, certain things changed. One-third of humanity no longer died in infancy. Post-World War I catastrophes linked Americans to the inevitability of death on a global scale. With the advent of television, the horrors of war and genocide were piped into Americans' consciousness while they sat on the living room couch.
Science and technology also removed some of the mystery from death. Before the Civil War, embalming was viewed as a gruesome mutilation of the body. Only dead soldiers were embalmed in order to preserve the bodies for shipping back home.
President Abraham Lincoln was the first fully embalmed person put on display in American history, and his traveling funeral train provided a public viewing of death for thousands of people.
A captive audience
The purpose of a Christian funeral sermon has long been to lay out, explicitly and publicly, the Christian doctrines of salvation, eternal life and divine judgment.
It's also an opportunity to remind those present (whom Bregman refers to as the "future dead") that they, too, will die — and that they'd better work out their salvation.
With such a captive audience, it can be an opportunity to evangelize, said Andy Lambert, who is both an ordained minister with Zion Church of God in Wedowee and a funeral director for K.L. Brown Funeral Home.
"I always take the opportunity to plant a seed," Lambert said, clarifying that this doesn't happen during his role as funeral director. "If a person's saved, it gives them the opportunity to think. If they're not saved, it's an opportunity to make them consider putting things right in their lives. But no matter where they are in terms of their faith, death is something everyone's going to face. It's a time when everyone's thinking, 'What's next?'"
What people who remember "traditional" funerals notice is that today's are less likely to be uniform, one-size-fits-all events. Relatives, friends, even co-workers contribute speeches or read poetry. The music will often veer from Gospel hymns to contemporary Christian or even pop songs. Even the pastor will forgo traditional biblical preaching to share funny stories about the dead.
"Death can be a time to rejoice," Lambert said. "I believe if the person was saved, we know where they are. They're where we as Christians are longing to be. I don't focus on the sorrow but try and remain upbeat."
No matter the tone of the memorial, its primary purpose is to worship God, said Carlton Weathers, pastor of Grace Fellowship Church in Anniston.
"The funeral service has traditionally been used to glorify Jesus Christ and thank him for the life of the loved one who has passed away," he said. "A second purpose of the Christian service is to proclaim the truth that in the future, God will raise the dead to a new life in the eternal kingdom."
Few comprehend this dueling message more vividly than Weathers, who in 2008, preached the sermon at the funeral of his own child.
'Joy is not the same as happy'
Sophie Ann Weathers was born on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2008, at 8:46 p.m., weighing 3 pounds, 15 ounces. She was 21 inches long.
She would live for only nine minutes.
Sophie Ann was diagnosed in utero with a rare chromosomal anomaly called Trisomy 13. One in 10,000 babies are born with this condition; 80 percent die within the first month.
Her mother, Aimee Weathers, carried Sophie Ann to term knowing her baby would die. When she did, it was while lying on her mother's chest in the hospital delivery room.
Nine minutes.
Long enough for her father to recite the 23rd Psalm: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me."
While Carlton delivered the sermon for his daughter's funeral, Aimee chose the music for the memorial, including the hymn, "It is Well with My Soul." The memories from that day are "seared" into their minds. But for all the sadness, there was hope.
"Aimee and I worked hard to have a service that clearly presented the Gospel, reflected our hope in Christ for the future resurrection of our daughter and expressed our feeling of joyful sorrow," Weathers said.
"Joy is not the same as happy. I do not think it is helpful for us to try to hide the fact that when a loved one dies we are grieved. The fact is that death is unnatural, and all of us, no matter our faith, feel the pain of loss when someone dies.
"But the difference between the Christian and the non-Christian is the hope we have in Jesus Christ. We want to show the world that we grieve, but that our grief is filled with hope in Christ."
