A Twinkie is an American snack cake, marketed as a "Golden Sponge Cake with Creamy Filling". It was formerly made and distributed by Hostess Brands and is again being sold under the Hostess Brands name. The brand is currently owned by private equity firms Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulos and Company. Twinkie production in the United States resumed after an absence on American store shelves, becoming available again nationwide on July 15, 2013.[1][2] Twinkies are produced in Canada by Saputo Incorporated's Vachon Inc. (at a bakery in Montreal) which owns the Canadian rights for the product and were still available during the absence in the US market.[3][4][full citation needed] Twinkies are also available in Mexican stores, made by Marinela, a subsidiary of Mexican bread company Grupo Bimbo.[5][6] In Egypt, Twinkies are produced under the company Edita. There are also no imports in Egypt from foreign countries of Twinkies.
Twinkies were invented in Schiller Park, Illinois[7] on April 6, 1930, by James Alexander Dewar, a baker for the Continental Baking Company.[8] Realizing that several machines used to make cream-filled strawberry shortcake sat idle when strawberries were out of season, Dewar conceived a snack cake filled with banana cream, which he dubbed the Twinkie.[9] Ritchy Koph said he came up with the name when he saw a billboard in St. Louis for "Twinkle Toe Shoes".[10] During World War II, bananas were rationed and the company was forced to switch to vanilla cream. This change proved popular, and banana-cream Twinkies were not widely re-introduced. The original flavor was occasionally found in limited-time promotions, but the company used vanilla cream for most Twinkies.[11] In 1988, Fruit and Cream Twinkies were introduced with a strawberry filling swirled into the cream. The product was soon dropped.[12] Vanilla's dominance over banana flavoring would be challenged in 2005, following a month-long promotion of the movie King Kong. Hostess saw its Twinkie sales rise 20 percent during the promotion, and in 2007 restored the banana-cream Twinkie to its snack lineup.[13]
On May 4, 2012,[14] parent company Hostess filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[10] Twinkie sales for the year ended December 25, 2011, were 36 million packages, down almost 2% from a year earlier.[10] Hostess said customers have migrated to healthier foods.[10] On November 16, 2012 at 7:00am (EST), Hostess officially announced that it "will be winding down operations and has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking permission to close its business and sell its assets, including its iconic brands and facilities. Bakery operations were suspended at all plants.[15]
On November 19, 2012, Hostess and the Bakers Union agreed to mediation, delaying the shutdown for two days. On November 21, 2012, US Bankruptcy judge Robert Drain approved Hostess' request to shutdown, temporarily ending Twinkie production in the United States.[16]
On March 12, 2013, it was reported that Twinkies would return to store shelves in May of that year. Twinkies, along with other famed Hostess Brands, were purchased out of bankruptcy by Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co for $410 million.[17][18] Twinkies returned to US shelves on July 15, 2013.[19]
Before Hostess Brands filed for bankruptcy, Twinkies were reduced in size. They now contain 135 calories and have a mass of 38.5 grams, while the original Twinkies contained 150 calories and had a mass of 42.5 grams. The new Twinkies also have a longer shelf life of 45 days, which was also a change made before bankruptcy, compared to the 26 days of the original Twinkies.[20]
A deep-fried Twinkie involves freezing the cake, dipping it into batter, and deep-frying it to create a variation on the traditional snack cake. In a story in The New York Times speaking of the Deep Fried Twinkie with its inventor, Christopher Sell, who is originally from Rugby, England, it was described in this way: "Something magical occurs when the pastry hits the hot oil. The creamy white vegetable shortening filling liquefies, impregnating the sponge cake with its luscious vanilla flavor.... The cake itself softens and warms, nearly melting, contrasting with the crisp, deep-fried crust in a buttery and suave way. The pièce de résistance, however, is a ruby-hued berry sauce, adding a tart sophistication to all that airy sugary goodness".[21] The Texas State Fair had introduced the fried Twinkie to great popular acclaim, and the notion spread to other state fairs across the U.S., as well as some establishments that specialize in fried foods.[22] Fried Twinkies are sold throughout the U.S. in fairs as well as ball games, and in various restaurants.
The Twinkie defense is a derogatory term for a criminal defendant's claim that some unusual factor (such as allergies, coffee, nicotine, or sugar) diminished the defendant's responsibility for the alleged crime. The term arose from Herb Caen's description of the trial of Dan White, who was convicted in the fatal shootings of San Francisco mayor George Moscone and city supervisor Harvey Milk in 1978. During the trial, psychiatrist Martin Blinder testified that White had suffered from depression, causing diminished capacity. As an example of this, he mentioned that White, formerly a health food advocate, had begun eating junk food.[9]
A common urban legend claims that Twinkies have an infinite shelf life or can last unspoiled for a relatively long time of ten, fifty, or one hundred years due to the chemicals used in their production:[23] in fact, many people say that it is the only food with a shelf life longer than the life of the average shelf. This urban legend is not true, although Twinkies can last a relatively long time.
In reality, Twinkies are on the shelf for a short time; a company executive told the New York Times in 2000 that the "Twinkie is on the shelf no more than 7 to 10 days."[24] The maximum shelf life was reported to have been 26 days, until improvements made beginning in 2012 increased it to 45 days.[25]
In 2010, Kansas State University professor Mark Haub went on a "convenience store" diet consisting mainly of Twinkies, Oreos, and Doritos in an attempt to demonstrate to his students "that in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most, not the nutritional value of the food". He lost 27 pounds over a two-month period, returning his body mass index (BMI) to within normal range.[26][27] In addition to Twinkies, Haub ate Little Debbie snack cakes, cereals, cookies, brownies, Doritos, Oreos and other kinds of high calorie, low-nutrition foods that are usually found at convenience stores. However, he supplemented this diet daily with a multivitamin, a protein shake and fresh vegetables. Still, Haub ended the ten weeks of snack cake consumption as a healthier person, at least on paper.[28]
The 1989 film UHF shows the creation of "Weird Al" Yankovic's signature food, the "Twinkie Wiener Sandwich". The snack consists of an overturned Twinkie split open as a makeshift bun, a hot dog, and Easy Cheese put together and dipped in milk before eating. Yankovic has stated that he has switched to using tofu hot dogs since becoming a vegetarian, but still enjoys the occasional Twinkie Wiener Sandwich.[29]

Brevity. It's not just the soul of wit, it's also the core principle of a good membership ask. You should be able to say what you need to say in about a minute. Focus on what's most important and cut away the rest. Think about what is important to that person.

Just came from my local League's program planning meeting. (You should check out the program planning webinar posted on our website if you missed it live!)
It is pretty clear that League members have strong opinions. Often it is around the board table when issues become heated. I thought I'd offer a few techniques for working through a confrontation or argument at a board meeting.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope all is well. I brewed a version of New Belgium's Hoptober a few months back, and finally got it on tap over the holidays. Well, turns out it is really really good! (again reaffirms long primary benefits, this one was 54 days primary with another 7 days dry-hopped in secondary....sorry, off my box) I was thinking of entering it into the Beer Barrons of Milwaukee 2012 Midwinter Home Brew Competition, except this recipe doesn't fit any style across the board. I am tempted to use American IPA (14B) because I used more hops in my recipe, but the calculated SRM is a bit low. The recipe can be seen over on my Hopville, and is estimated at 5 SRM and 53 IBU. I don't remember the Gravities right now, but I think I calculated 6.3% ABV. It looks darker than a 5 in the glass but I don't know how to actually tell the color. Brewzor pro calculates it at 6 SRM and 56 IBU's. How do you guys estimate/calculate your style guidelines? Any suggestions or help would be great. This is my first competition, so I am a little nervous about not entering the right category. Oh, and sorry I didn't post the recipe direct, but the estimates are different depending on what program I am looking at. Thanks,
The recipe might help a bit to get an idea of the characteristics since we can't taste the beer. Things like breadiness, hop variety, carmel/toffee, and esters all enter into the equation too, perhaps more than the color. Appearance doesn't count for much on a score sheet compared to the other lines. Don't forget to include fermentation temps and yeast! EDIT: Ooops, I see the recipe link, sorry about that. I'm thinking American Pale unless the Rye is apparent, in which case I'd think about cat 23 with a Rye on APA base. I'm just not sure if the bitterness would fare well as an IPA given that most of the other IPAs are going to probably be at the top end of the hop spectrum.
Yeah recipe would help. If you used a lager yeast (which is quite likely if you were doing a Hoptoberfest clone) it would probably be lacking in esters that judges are consciously (or unconsciously) looking for in an IPA. Might be best as a Cat 23, but post the recipe and we'll see.

I just looked through the BJCP guidelines for 23A, which seems to fit. I will print that out and sample a few and think about its fit there. I always assumed that 23 was for really unusual adjuncts, not honey or rye, since they are fairly common. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Any updates? did ya end up making it and going to enter? I will be there, got 3 that Im gonna give a go at.. If anything, the feedback is great. Good luck!
I'm glad you posted this recipe. I had NB version this summer/fall and couldn't get enough of it. I've been wanting to try and brew it, but didn't know where to start. I will definitely be brewing this soon. Good luck with the competition.

Hello SingaporeQS,
So we're going to try something a little different for the month of May, and introduce Quantified Self to the good people of Barcamp.
A Barcamp is an 'unconference' - an open, participatory workshop, the content of which is provided by participants. Y'know, pretty much like us.
The date is set for 12th May, but the rest of the schedule won't be pinned down until the day. I say we should head down in the morning and plan to lead a couple of sessions from 11:30 onwards.
Because things are subject to change, besides RSVPing on Meetup, can you sign up for updates at the BarcampSG site here?
I'm thinking about repackaging my Intro to QS talk in the Ignite format - 20 slides in 5 minutes. That should be a challenge!
Ben will be doing a talk on tracking his weight and the correlations between other factors like sleep and alcohol. He's done some great number-crunching, so I'm excited to hear about it in detail.
It would be great if we had another speaker, so feel free to volunteer yourself.
Anyways, hope this piques your interest and I hope to see some, nay, all of you at Barcamp in a couple of weeks!
p.s. In the spirit of Barcamp, this meetup is editable - I'm not sure how it works, but you should be able to add to or change the information listed here. If you have something useful to add - please go ahead!
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

I haven't yet updated my version yet (been busy flying my new Hexa LOS). I love my PhoenixRC but they didn't have FPV until the beta release of Version 4 (info listed below). You don't have to pay for upgrades with PhoenixRC so if you buy a version 3 it should be fine (double check me on that).
Version 4.0.a BETA We are pleased to announce that the first BETA release of the new 4.0 version is now available from our Downloads page. Please note that this is a BETA release, and so may contain bugs or issues that will not be in the final version. You must have at least version 3.0.s installed before using this update. New features, Improvements and fixes: • New InfinityScape sites: • Fly forever on an infinite number of randomly generated 3D terrains that you create and control • Boundary-less terrains let you range as far and wide as you want to • New camera modes include Cockpit and Chase modes with lookaround functionality • New resampled sound effects for model engines • Official support for NVIDIA 3D Vision sterescopic and TrackIR head-tracking hardware |

I know this is an old thread but thought I'd try here.
I've never flown FPV. Is the simulation used for the cockpit camera on the GUAI 330 in Phoenix 4 even close to the "real thing"? It is fun to fly! |

Reading about other folks FPV adventures, it appears that knowing your flying area is very important as you can loose your way easily. I will also shut off the little pop up that orients the field as well. |

Google Earth/Maps is your friend in this department. Also, I had flown many line of sight flights carrying a keychain camera over my sites before I even attempted FPV. An interesting side note - I did a night flight for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was a success although I was super nervous. Navigating at night is a completely different ballgame, I had a really difficult time figuring out where I was even though I am very familiar with how the area looks in daylight. Had I not placed a strobe light at my home point to navigate back I probably would have had to go into failsafe on the quad and have it fly itself back. |

Joe Budden - She Don't Put It Down Like You (Remix)
Artist: Joe Budden
Featuring: Fabolous, Twista, Tank
Producer: T-Minus
Album: No Love Lost
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 14 votes )
If it takes a second or two for She Don't Put It Down Like You (Remix) to stream, don't flip out about your Internet connection. Given the heavyweights on this remix of Joe Budden's current single, you should be lucky you don't have to wait longer. While Tank's infectious hook is an original version holdover, tagging in for Weezy are two of the bigger names in the remix game. Fabolous, who recently dropped a fresh cut of his own, and rapid-fire spitta Twista contribute energetic guest verses that sound right at home atop the frenzied, hypnotic board work of T-Minus. Although remixes don't usually make it onto studio albums, this version will be included on Budden's forthcoming No Love Lost album, out February 5.

If your life was an anime or movie, what song or soundtrack would be the opening theme (or ending if you want) to it? Post a vid of it. Ill post mine soon.

@SpeedForceSpider: @DBZ_Universe: So true. Most music nowadays is mostly hype music with meaningless lyrics. The only good things are the soundtracks. Those actually sound good.
I agree. It few songs today have a okay beat, its up until they open their mouths where I cut the line. But I agree with soundtracks especially video games and anime movies. They are still awesome because they stay pretty classy.

About this location
The Tuscany region
Visitors to Tuscany come for many reasons - many come in search of fine art, others to explore the extraordinary countryside. Gourmets and wine buffs descend on Tuscany to enjoy the simple yet wonderful cuisine and wine. Walkers enjoy the mountain paths, cyclists the rolling hills, summer vacationers; the sea coast and islands. Students come to learn the beautiful Italian language and culture.
From the Etruscans to the Romans to the Renaissance, Tuscany is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world, from extraordinary paintings and sculptures to frescoes and architectural masterpieces ? this captivating region is a hub of Italian life; boasting the finest dining, the finest wines and breathtakingly picturesque scenery.
Cepina Farm offers three apartments for its guests in Lucignano , an old medieval hamlet at the entrance of the Val di Chiana, close to various cities of art and culture Both in Tuscany and Umbria. It is in fact only 20 km away from Cortona, 25 km from Arezzo, 45 km from Siena, 80 km from Florence, 60 km from Perugia, 75 km from Assisi and 60 km from Orvieto.
Lucignano is an ancient village in Southern Tuscany located at the top of a gentle hill in Val di Chiana, on the border between the provinces of Arezzo and Siena. It represents one of the most extraordinary examples of a medieval town with its concentric elliptical ring roads.
As you walk in its maze of streets you have a sense of pleasant games, where every corner is worth a visit and a photo. Going up to the upper area of the country are the Town Hall with its museum full of precious objects, the Church of S . Francesco filled with frescoes by Bartolo di Fredi, the Collegiate Church and the Church of the Society of Mercy with its unique museum.
Marciano della Chiana
Lucignano is a favourably location in a dominant position at Mt. 414 meters above sea level, and the Val di Chiana on the road between Siena and Arezzo. It is an area that has been of historically importance since ancient times. Nowadays the central location and proximity to major roads and railways, makes it extremely interesting as a starting point to visit the most important historical and artistic sites in central Italy.
Currently, the country still retains the charm of an ancient village that has preserved the traditional agricultural and craft and offers the visitors an exciting range of products: from high-quality extra virgin olive oil, honey wine and Chianina meat. The region is also famed for its furniture, carvings, ceramics and jewellery.

Film ratings at this moment in time are basic. More people are wishing that they could review films so that they would have more to think about and consider when they're rating the film in question.
I'll spare you any more reading, and instead present an example or two of what I would work on establishing if I'm elected for this important part of the community.
This is how I see things progressing, and this is what I want to do. It's all open to user opinion, and the input of the Minister of Film Review, who I would be working in correlation with.
Sample of my ideas for the main film page.
Sample of the ratings rubric I would like to incorporate.
Both of those are by no means final. I want to gather ideas that would help improve it, and at the moment I'm refining the wording on those rubric descriptions. When I'm done with it, it will be two easy to read sentences for each rating.
The way I see it, having an established point of reference for every rating will help to iron out all the confusion and irregularity in the ratings. This way, everyone is basing their ratings off of the same source, which will help to moderate the resulting ratings.
What I've experienced through talking with a selection of directors from up and down the range, some newer directors who are proud of their work will rate according to their own films. And so if there is a film that they consider to be just a little better than theirs, they'll rate it fairly high because their point of reference is their own film. No matter how mediocre. My rubric system will help to solve that problem, and will help new raters create a slightly more correct and unbiased frame of reference for their decisions on rating.
I want to not only make rating an easy and effective part of the film directory, but make it more involving. Rating should feel very close to reviewing in the mind of the user, they should feel that their rating will make a difference. A little bit to read is a perfect way to let people feel more involved. They have a chance to think about the rating they're giving, and they'll then understand how much they actually enjoyed a film.
I don't want to take away people's privacy by trying to install a 'Who rated what?' feature. People have the right to rate a film poorly without being chased down because of it. And there are people who take advantage of it, that's their own fault for being jealous or annoyed, or whatever emotions are running through their minds. But there are more people who rush through ratings without having a chance to think about what they're putting in, and people who don't have a frame of reference for what they're rating, so they just base it off of the last good film they saw. Sometimes this turns out bad for the film in question, sometimes it turns out good. It should always turn out truthful. I want to try and get the truth out of people who aren't sure how to express it. Ease of understanding about what they're doing will lead to more confidence about what they're doing. There should be no film that is hard to rate. All it takes it a good point of reference, and thats what I'm taking the time to try and create for the users.
The above are just the beta versions of what I hope will become a truly unique and involving rating experience! Yet this will only happen if I manage to earn your vote. And I really want to be able to do that.
I'm still awaiting a final verdict on who will be nominating me, but that will most likely be resolved in the next few hours.
If you have any questions about what I want to do, please feel free to ask! I'll try to answer whatever I can as detailed as possible. Just remember, I'm on here nearly 12 hours a day. This is my passion, Brickfilms is my online home. I want to do whatever I can to help it grow and flourish in the time after these elections, because while I love this site, I know it can be even better in the future.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Roy still the real deal
Despite his Avs' cool-down, ex-star has advantages others may lack
Patrick ROY has certainly come down to earth after one of the best starts to a coaching career in NHL history, but there is a foundation that will allow him to be successful for as long as he wants to coach.
Roy might not game-plan with the best of the NHL's coaches but he's quickly proven to be a crafty bench coach and an even better motivator. Let the assistant coaches handle the sound check but hand the mike to St. Patrick when the lights go up.
On Thursday night, with his team down 2-0 early, Roy pulled out all the stops. A time out, a bench minor and a lot of cajoling on the bench. His young team, which has been terrible when trailing early with a 4-9 mark after allowing the first goal this season, responded and proved mentally tougher than the Winnipeg Jets, stealing a 4-3 shootout win.
Roy is a savvy coach but as his team's recent slumber can attest, winning in the NHL is far more about the players on the ice than the suit behind the bench. Roy, maybe better than any other coach in the NHL, understands it takes both talent and commitment from a team's players to win, regardless of any perceived genius or lack thereof behind the bench.
Being a legend, it seems, doesn't count for any coaching wins.
The guy on the other bench sees you as another old guy who can't play anymore and dismisses the past to focus on the here and now.
-- Avs coach Patrick Roy
As a player, Roy turned an entire franchise on its ear when he walked out on it. He knows the impact talent can have on a franchise or the damage it leaves in its wake.
Roy famously dumped the Montreal Canadiens during the 1995-96 season after head coach Mario Tremblay hung him out to dry in an 11-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Roy muttered to team president Ronald Corey, "It's my last game in Montreal," after being left in net for nine goals against.
The Habs haven't won a Stanley Cup since and their last was in 1993, largely based on the brilliance of No. 33. Roy went on to win two more Cups with the Colorado Avalanche, and Tremblay and then-GM Reggie Houle are still mocked for their role in the debacle.
Roy has injected that understanding of the players' importance in his first NHL bench posting.
"It started at training camp when the first thing he told us was he was our head coach but he was also our partner," said Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog. "It sent a strong message. We have a lot of fun and it's a relaxed atmosphere, but it's intense. We all feed off his energy."
Coaches and management matter, but in the end it's the players that win or lose.
Roy is philosophical about his team's ups and downs this season.
"We always try to find ways to get better and not be negative," he said Thursday morning. "It's a long-term thing. Not short-term. You have different times in the season. Right now, we're struggling to score. We have three goals in our last six games. I love these challenges. We have to try and see how we can deal with it."
Back when the Avalanche were bursting out to a 12-1 start to the season, my inbox was filled with vitriol about the poor coaching of the Winnipeg Jets. In short, Roy was a genius and Claude Noel was a bum, went the thinking of many disgruntled Jets fans.
Since that time, Noel's Jets have ripped off a 9-6-3 mark while Roy's club has undergone a major correction, posting a 9-9 record over its last 18 games.
Colorado is still right at the playoff line with a 21-9-0 mark while the Jets are still in deep water at 14-14-5. Winnipeg is trending in the right direction while Roy's group is treading water right now.
Noel is constantly the object of blame among Jets-watchers looking for an easy answer. One NHL executive in the building Thursday, however, sees it a different way.
"There are no quick fixes or shortcuts," said the veteran executive. "Do you think Scotty Bowman would have that group of players (the Jets) in first place? It takes time."
Coaching is important, no doubt, but most often in today's NHL what ails a team or makes it a winner is the players. It's why they make the big money and have the security of long-term guaranteed contracts.
Winnipeg is where they are as a team because of its players. GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is changing his roster through the deliberate steps of development.
In Colorado, there will be no misplacing of the blame if things go poorly because of Roy's previous status as a player.
Noel doesn't have that luxury in Winnipeg.

According to one popular image, the Aztec army was a ruthless and efficient war machine, that established an empire by convincingly overwhelming its neighbors, sacrificing thousands to bloodthirsty gods along the way. From a contrasting perspective, its native warriors were no match for the modern warring methods of Cortés' greatly outnumbered Spaniards, who decisively defeated them. The reality of the Aztec warrior's ability and effectiveness lies somewhere between those two extremes, as this title makes clear. By examining the experiences of a hypothetical individual, Cuauhtli, this meticulously researched book shows that the history of Aztec warfare is much richer and far more complex than previously understood, and reveals the close relationship between social and military matters in Aztec society.

String search - Command to find second occurance
I am new to Unix world. Is there any command which can directly return the second occurance of a particular string in a file? Basically, I want to read the contents of the file from the second occurance of a particualr string. Can be implemented using a loop, but am just wondering if there is a command which can help me do so. Please let me know. TIA Saurabh |

You can use awk something like this - Code:
awk '{ if(index($0, "some string")> 0) {count++} if(count>1) { print $0} } ' inputfile > outputofsearch |

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am not familiar with awk. Is there any alternative method you can think of..
Other than looping or using awk, perl, or python, I have no other idea except an extreme hack like this: Code:
#!/bin/ksh # total line in file wc -l inputfile | read filelen dummy # find the line to start reading on grep -n 'some string' inputfile | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | read startline dummy # subtract start line from total length=$(( $filelen - $startline )) # tail the lines you need. tail -n $length inputfile If you are running this against a large file it will waste considerable resources. It wastes resources anyway, because it reads thru the file several times. |

Thanks Jim. This really helps. Let me try it.

Hi. Command csplit can help: Code:
#!/usr/bin/env sh # @(#) s1 Demonstrate splitting a file at second occurrence of string. set -o nounset echo debug=":" debug="echo" ## Use local command version for the commands in this demonstration. echo "(Versions displayed with local utility \"version\")" version >/dev/null 2>&1 && version bash csplit echo # Remove debris from previous runs. rm -f xx* FILE=${1-data1} echo echo " Input file:" cat -n $FILE echo echo " Character counts written to files:" csplit -k -z $FILE /saurabhsinha23/ {1} echo echo " Files created by csplit:" ls xx* echo echo " Results from csplit:" cat xx02 exit 0 Producing: Code:
% ./s1 (Versions displayed with local utility "version") GNU bash 2.05b.0 csplit (coreutils) 5.2.1 Input file: 1 First line 2 many lines can be in the zeroth segment 3 vanilla lines 4 this line contains "saurabhsinha23" 5 another line 6 yet another line 7 an additional line 8 second occurrence of "saurabhsinha23" 9 more lines 10 many more lines 11 third occurrence of "saurabhsinha23" 12 lines continue 13 fourth occurrence of "saurabhsinha23" 14 ... 15 last occurrence of "saurabhsinha23" 16 last line Character counts written to files: 65 85 205 Files created by csplit: xx00 xx01 xx02 Results from csplit: second occurrence of "saurabhsinha23" more lines many more lines third occurrence of "saurabhsinha23" lines continue fourth occurrence of "saurabhsinha23" ... last occurrence of "saurabhsinha23" last line See man pages for details ... cheers, drl |

Quinn Veto Leaves Room for Future Gambling Expansion |
Commentary/Politics - Illinois Politics | |||
Written by Rich Miller | |||
Sunday, 02 September 2012 05:55 | |||
Most people looked at last week's veto by Governor Pat Quinn of the big gaming-expansion bill and saw nothing except defeat for the issue. But the governor appeared to deliberately leave some doors open that you could drive a riverboat through. For instance, nowhere in his veto message did Quinn mention slots at tracks. Quinn had been an adamant foe of allowing the horse-racing industry to set up "mini-casinos" at their facilities, saying it would result in an over-saturation of the market. But Quinn then subtly began to back away from his opposition, explicitly expressed in writing in his "Framework for Gambling in Illinois" Power Point memo that he released last October in response to criticisms that he wasn't making his positions known to negotiators. This past May, during a meeting with proponents, Quinn refused to say whether he would agree to slots at tracks if legislators included a ban on campaign contributions from casino operators. That refusal was taken as a big hint that Quinn had backed off, and governor's office insiders confirmed it was the direction he was heading. Reporters then tried for days to get Quinn to say in public if he still opposed slots at tracks, and he would always refer them to his "framework" in response. Quinn's veto message last week outlined his main opposition to the bill, which mostly followed his "framework" from last year. He strongly highlighted his demand that campaign contributions be banned from casino operators (although he didn't mention contributions from immediate family members of casino operators, who generously pumped up his campaign coffers during the 2010 cycle). He sharply criticized what he considers to be the lack of oversight of a new Chicago casino. The governor repeated his assertions from his October "framework" about how the bill doesn't give the gaming board adequate time to "make critical licensing and regulatory decisions." And he said, again, that money from the legislation needs to go to education. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has fought hard against too much state oversight of his city's proposed casino. But Quinn made clear in his veto message last week that Emanuel will have to give in on at least something. To his credit, the mayor seems to be willing to do so. It's also clear that some sort of contribution ban will have to be put in place for the governor to be convinced. The ban won't really work all that well. The casinos could just contribute to other funds, which would wash their money back into the system. Indiana bans contributions from casino operators, but the Republican Governors Association's super-PAC gave a million dollars to that state's GOP gubernatorial candidate last month, and the RGA has received at least a million dollars from a single casino owner. Money will always find a way into the process. Even so, word is that Dick Duchossois is actually open to a contribution ban. Duchossois owns Arlington Park racecourse via his interest in a big corporation. His son's massive contributions to Republicans in 2010 reportedly sparked Quinn's ire. And some of Quinn's Democratic friends who also own casino interests are major Duchossois haters. But if Duchossois agrees to a contribution ban, even implicitly, then that particular issue might make some progress – although we could probably expect a vigorous court challenge from other casino owners on First Amendment grounds. Back in May, insiders said Quinn wanted to wait until the veto session to deal with the casino issue more forcefully, and then use the money to heroically fix a gaping budget hole. The second part of that is coming to fruition with Quinn's demand that the tax receipts go to education. The General Assembly cut the schools budget by $210 million this spring, and the gaming-expansion bill is expected to bring in about $200 million a year. Quinn could, therefore, claim that he'd "saved" the education budget with gaming. The veto session part is a bit more tenuous, however. Quinn wrote in his veto message that the state cannot "gamble its way out of our fiscal challenges." The governor claimed that "even a casino on every street corner cannot repair the state's $83-billion unfunded pension liability." The governor's message was pretty emphatic: There will be no gaming expansion until pension reform is in place.

Expert upbeat about oil gains
Report forecasts job, money boom
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The area on the eastern perimeter of the Permian Basin in 2012 saw $14.5 billion per year in economic output from the oil extraction industry. Through the next eight years, that activity is expected to increase by another 50 percent, according to a new report presented to the San Angelo Desk & Derrick Club.
Shale plays in the Permian Basin are producing 1 million barrels of oil per day, comparable to the boom days three decades ago. Drilling permit numbers allow a glimpse of the future: Drilling permits issued climbed to a new high of more than 9,000 in 2012, up from 3,500 three years previously.
Tom Tunstall, research director of the Institute for Economic Development at the University of Texas San Antonio, presented the findings Wednesday to the club, which is dedicated to public education and advocacy for the oil and gas industry.
Tunstall hedged his forecasts by first offering examples of predictions gone wrong — including a prediction by Robert Metcalfe, inventor of Ethernet, who said in 1995 the Internet would collapse within a year, and one by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer in 2007 that the iPhone would get no significant market share: "No chance."
Tunstall and a group of associates at UTSA authored the report, which is being released in two phases. The first covers the 10-county area around the eastern edge of the Permian, where oil and gas activity is creating new wealth and job opportunities but which as yet has seen little drilling. The second phase of the report will be released at the West Texas Energy Consortium meeting in Abilene in early June, he said.
It was an upbeat presentation for an audience of oil supporters.
"Texas has its highest production in 30 years," he said. Nationwide, "domestic production is now half of consumption," he said, which means less foreign oil is imported.
The industry is becoming more efficient at extracting shale oil, which is locked up inside honeycombs of rock formation, and advances in hydraulic fracturing and greater knowledge of shale oil geology have allowed the industry to reduce the average cost of well completion from $14 million to $7 million in four years, he said.
Continued work on building pipeline networks, which in Texas are already an advanced piece of state infrastructure, will deliver more crude to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast, creating another problem.
"When these pipelines are finished, it will overwhelm the coastal refineries," Tunstall said. "Because of limitations on crude oil exports, the oil will be pushed to other areas, even to the Northeast."
The boom is echoing in the halls of government. Severance taxes from oil and gas production are bloating the state's Rainy Day Fund — officially called the Economic Stabilization Fund — and Tunstall said the fund is expected to hold $12 billion to $14 billion by the time the Legislature convenes next in 2015.
He noted that many oil-producing states tax their oil production, but most designate a portion to be returned to the area where the oil was produced. Texas is unique because all the severance tax money stays with the state government.
That means the Rainy Day Fund money is available to local governments only at the will of the state, and repairing local infrastructure stressed and beaten up by industrial activity will depend on representatives willing to go after money on their constituents' behalf.
Showing slides that tracked the gradual migration of people in Texas from the late 1800s, when it was largely a rural state, into the urban areas where most of them live now, he said that without strong representation in the Legislature, the rural counties and small cities of West Texas "will be at a disadvantage."
"It's important that rural and urban areas work together," he said.
In the San Angelo area, the Cline Shale has been seen as the pot at the end of the rainbow, a cache of oil at 9,000 feet or more under the surface in a shale formation that to date has been a mystery for oil geologists.
Tunstall said the "jury is still out" on the Cline, and for now the permitting frenzy in the Spraberry formation to the west is a clear sign that the industry has figured out that puzzle and is making money from it. The Cline is attracting test well drilling as companies try to find the optimum formula to unlock its potential.
In 2012 the study region — which included Brown, Coke, Coleman, Runnels, Taylor and Tom Green counties — saw $14.5 billion in economic effects from the oil activity and 21,450 jobs.

The one limiting factor is water. The companies that inquire about setting up shop in the area all ask, "How's the water situation?" he said.

I'd use normal milk, with a teaspoon of lemon juice, or vinegar mixed into it - a reasonable substitute for buttermilk.
No, condensed milk has a ton of sugar in it, not mention that it is as thick as molasses. You will get a flat and dense 'cake', that is very sweet. there is no acid in the sweet condensed milk to react with the baking soda, to leaven the cornbread. Even if there is baking powder, cornmeal can make the mixture extremely heavy and without the acid- base reaction of the buttermilk (acid) and the baking soda (base), you are not going get much rise in the cornbread batter. I second Esther Plume's recommendation for substituting with sour milk.

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has announced the establishment of a new division aimed at serving the K-12 education market.
The new division combines five former stand-alone divisions, including School Publishers, Holt McDougal, Supplemental Publishers, Heinemann, and International Publishers. The move is intended to help the company streamline its overall business operations, as well as enhance customer relations.
"Since acquiring Harcourt we have undertaken a great deal of integration activity to become one company," said Tony Lucki, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Chairman and CEO, in a prepared statement. "As we approach the one-year anniversary as a single company, we are now shifting from integration to transformation--transforming our business and processes to enable Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to drive highly strategic product development, marketing, and sales, and to better respond to the demands and opportunities of the global educational marketplace."
According to the company, former School Publishers President Mike Lavelle will head the new K-12 business.
