DANNY Ings described Burnley as a "powerful force" after being crowned Sky Bet Championship player of the year.
The Clarets top scorer beat off competition from the division's leading marksman, Leeds striker Ross McCormack, and Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater to claim the prize at the Football League Awards 2014, as voted for by all Championship managers.
Ings received the award at a glittering ceremony at The Brewery, London, on Sunday night as recognition for his 25-goal season so far.
Ings' efforts have also been recognised at international level this term, with a place in Gareth Southgate's England Under 21 squad, and two goals to add to his league and cup haul.
It is his contributions at club level – helping to fire Burnley to a 10-point lead in the automatic promotion places with 10 games to go – that have particularly caught the eye, however.
But after claiming the top prize, Ings praised a team effort, and the impact of manager Sean Dyche.
"He is a great manager. He is firm but fair and as long as you buy in to what he buys in to then you're definitely going to get along," said the 21-year-old "That comes down to hard work and all of our players are hard-working. Mix that with talent and you've got a powerful force.
"Sam Vokes, my strike partner, has chipped in with a lot of goals too for a target man and our defence is one of the best defences in the league, our midfield too, the whole team has been fantastic.
"I could talk about them all night. We have such a good team ethic and we work hard for each other which is why we have been successful."
Ings is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, which he sustained in a challenge during last week's 3-3 draw at Birmingham.
It meant he missed only his second game of the season, after an ankle knock against Huddersfield meant he sat out the visit of Watford in December.
Ings is likely to be ruled out for at least the rest of the month, although further medical checks this week should confirm the length of recovery required.
But, despite the setback, the striker is pleased with how he has responded to two injury-ravaged campaigns after making the move from Bournemouth in August 2011.
"I've not had much luck in the last couple of years with injuries but I've managed to turn that around this year to get myself fit and everything is going well so far," he added.
"To be honest it has been crazy."
Elsewhere on the night, former Burnley midfielder Kevin McDonald, now with Wolves, missed out to Brentford's Adam Forshaw on the League One prize.
But former Accrington Stanley winger Gary Roberts, now with Chesterfield, took home the League Two award.

Bookmakers have slashed odds on Tony Pulis making an shock comeback as Crystal Palace manager.
Betting websites have installed Pulis as third favourite for the job he left just a week ago, with some rating him second favourite.
Betfred and William Hill are both offering odds of 4/1 on the former Stoke City boss returning to Selhurst Park, while Ladbrokes and Paddy Power rate him 5/1.
Neil Lennon remains favourite for the job after Palace pulled the plug on the appointment of Malky Mackay following the emergence of allegations of racist, homophobic and sexists messages exchanged between the former Cardiff City boss and the Eagles' departing sporting director Iain Moody.
Caretaker boss Keith Millen is to remain in charge for West Ham's visit to Selhurst Park tomorrow.
Would you like to see Tony Pulis return to Selhurst Park? Post a comment below.

PETER Kildemand will be looking to follow in the footsteps of close friend Hans Andersen when he takes part in the biggest meeting of his career this evening.
The Robins' number one has been handed the wild card for the Danish Grand Prix in Copenhagen, a reward for his fine form across Europe during the first half of the 2014 season.
Tonight's is the last GP to be staged at the Danish national stadium, PARKEN, with Andersen so far the only Dane to have tasted success under the roof in the capital.
The former Robins skipper was himself a wild card when he took victory in 2006 and, while his real goal is a semi final spot, Kildemand is excited to have the chance to replicate his achievements.
"This is a really big night for me and it was a big goal of mine to get the wild card," he said. "I'm really looking forward to this and hopefully I can do something.
"If I can get some points in every race I can hopefully make the semi and then see what happens from there, I know I can do it.
"I've been the reserve before so that can help me get set up and things like that and get myself right so hopefully I can do well.
"PARKEN is one of the coolest stadiums I will ever race in so it's really nice to have a chance to do that before the meeting moves away from there.
"It's a great place and the atmosphere is amazing.
"Hans has won there before and he was the wild card so it would be great to do the same as him. It's a big chance and it's very exciting.
"This is the last meeting there will be at PARKEN so it's great to have the chance to be a part of it."
With Robins skipper Troy Batchelor also in tonight's meeting, Swindon team manager Alun Rossiter is proud to have two of his riders competing at the top level of the sport.
"Peter can certainly go in there and ruffle a few feathers, that's for sure," he said.
"It's great he's got this chance and I really hope he takes it.
"The only thing is, riding in Denmark, there may be a bit more pressure on him now than there would be anywhere else but I'm sure he can cope with it.
"It's great for the club to have two riders in there and I hope they both get on well."

Aussies set sights on No.1 Test ranking
Veteran Australian batsman Mike Hussey admits it's going to take "something special" to defeat South Africa in the third Test at the WACA Ground, starting Friday.
South Africa's Herculean effort to hold on for a draw in Adelaide by batting out the entire final day means the series is locked at 0-0 heading into the Perth decider.
Australia needs to win the series in order to leapfrog South Africa into the No.1 spot on the Test rankings.
But Hussey concedes it will take an almighty effort to beat South Africa, who have not lost a Test this year.
"We tried absolutely everything to win that Test match (in Adelaide). It just shows South Africa are a great team," Hussey said.
"They're the No.1 team in the world for a reason and it's going to take something special for us to knock them over here in Perth.
"I'm sure we can get the result if we keep the pressure on them."
South Africa are sweating on the fitness of star all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who injured his hamstring while bowling in the second Test but still managed to post scores of 58 and 46.
Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, who missed the first two Tests with a calf injury, has already declared himself fit for the series decider, where he will bat at No.3 and also bowl a significant amount of overs.
But despite the heavy workload expected of him, Watson said his shift from opener to No.3 earlier this year meant he would at least have some time to recover in between innings.
"Batting at No.3 gives me a bit more opportunity to be able to freshen up mentally and physically instead of getting the pads on straight away when I'm opening," the 31-year-old said.

France Trips
Whether you fancy hiking in the Alps, tasting wine in the Loire, chugging down the waterways of the Canal du Midi or walking the long-distance footpath in Corsica, France has much to offer the 80 million visitors who come here every year. It's not only the most popular destination for Brits, it's also the most-visited country in the world.
France has some of the most varied landscape in Europe, including sun-baked Mediterranean beaches and chilly glacier-covered peaks. There is a wealth of activities on offer from snowshoeing to cycling and kayaking to kite surfing.
France's mountain ranges have world-class Alpine and cross-country skiing as well as other winter sports such as snowboarding and sledging. The most famous resorts are in the Alps; in the region of Mont Blanc, Western Europe's highest peak is the long-established ski resort of Chamonix. In the Pyrenees the summits aren't quite as record-breaking but the slopes are less crowded and prices are lower.
Home of the Tour de France, it's no surprise that France has some great cycling options. Explore the 800-km-long Loire à vélo which follows the gently rolling Loire Valley, or pedal the towpaths of the Canal du Midi, through elegant avenues shaded by plane trees lining the waterways.
France has a culturally rich heritage, from the Renaissance chateaux strung like precious beads along the Loire to magnificent and ornate cathedrals such as the world-famous one in Chartres. Corsica has many cultural relics from past invasions and occupations by the Romans, the Moors and the Genoese, who all left their mark in the baroque churches, citadels and watchtowers you can see today.
For many people, France is the gastronomic capital of the world. Sampling the incredibly diverse dishes from the varied regions of France is a highlight on many visitors' itineraries. Local produce is piled high on stalls in the country's markets, while restaurants serve exceptional dishes using the freshest of seasonal ingredients. Cheese and wine are the cornerstones of French cuisine.
The French are so serious about these that they have assigned an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC, meaning controlled domination of origin) stamp on their most important products, reflecting the geographical region where they are produced. Over 300 wines now have the AOC label, from Ajaccio wine produced in Corsica to Vouvray in the Loire. Some 40 cheeses have the same status, including the sheep's milk cheese brocciu, considered to the national food of Corsica.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - The hopes of having two of the College and Career Centers ready for operation by next year have vanished.
Now, the hope is that the next round of bids will make the three $5.5 million facilities possible at all.
After the bids for the North Bullitt High center came in at $2 million over the cost estimates, superintendent Keith Davis said the process had to be restarted.
Davis said each of the three centers had to be on budget or below to make the projects feasible.

The Churchill LetterTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Mrs. Bryant went to visit Thomas P. Stanwick, logician and amateur sleuth as she was having trouble making a decision. "I'm sorry to bother you, but you have been so helpful in the past, I was hoping you could help again." "Of course, what's the problem?", replied Stanwick. "A few days ago," she said, "I was visited by Stephen Faybush, the nephew of a couple I know in my neighborhood. He specializes in unusual investments."
"Have you been looking for investment advice?", Stanwick asked.
"Well, I have a small nest egg that's not earning much in the bank and I may have mentioned this to my neighbors."
"And what sort of investment does this Faybush promote?"
"Historical artifacts. Famous signatures and such. He says they consistently beat inflation as they rise in value over time."
"That's true, if they are genuine. Do you happen to have such an item in the folder that you brought with you?"
"Yes." Mrs. Bryant opened an manila folder she had been carrying and took out a letter. "It's a Churchill," she said as she handed it to Stanwick.
"A letter from Churchill's private secretary to a John McMasters. Not someone I recognize. Possibly a constituent. 'Sir Winston very much appreciates the book you sent him.' and so on. Dated in the year 1950. Cream-colored paper. Letterhead refers to Chartwell, Churchill's country home. The valuable bit would be the handwritten inscription 'With warmest good wishes, Winston S. Churchill' along the bottom after the secretary's signature. Only about a year and a half later, he returned to power as Prime Minister."
"Stephen is urging me to buy it," said Mrs. Bryant. "He is letting me keep it and look it over this week."
Stanwick smiled. "My advice," he said, "is to have nothing more to do with Mr. Faybush. In fact, I think I'll call to the local constabulary about him. This letter is a fraud. May I suggest that you find a good mutual fund for your money?"
How does Stanwick know the letter is a fraud?
AnswerThe letter was dated in 1950 and refers to "Sir Winston", but Churchill was not knighted (thereby earning the use of the title "Sir") until 1953.

Environmental and animal-rights groups want to force the EPA to collect detailed information on confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and intend to take the issue to court.
The issue stems from a proposed rule EPA published in October 2011, which would have required CAFOs to submit extensive information to the EPA. During a public comment period, according to EPA, state regulatory agencies questioned the need for a federal law, as states already collect the information in question. In July 2012, EPA withdrew the proposed rule. In its withdrawal document, the agency states: "Instead, the EPA, where appropriate, will collect CAFO information using existing sources of information including state National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) programs, other regulations and other programs at the federal, state and local level. The EPA believes at this time, it is more appropriate to obtain CAFO information by working with federal, state and local partners instead of requiring CAFO information to be submitted pursuant to a rule."
Anti-CAFO activist groups, however, disagree. This week, the Center for Food Safety, Environmental Integrity Project, Food & Water Watch, The Humane Society of the United States, and Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement filed the suit in the U.S District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing that the Agency's withdrawal of the proposed rule lacks the rational basis required by law.
Jonathan Lovvorn, senior vice president and chief counsel for animal protection litigation at The HSUS said: "The animal agriculture industry has benefited from EPA's lack of information for decades, and has successfully opposed efforts to increase transparency. This certainly is not good for animals, humans or the environment; it is only good for massive industrialized farms."
The EPA's statement withdrawing the rule notes that EPA initially issued effluent guidelines and standards for feedlots in 1974, NPDES CAFO regulations in 1976 and revised NPDES permitting regulations in 2008.
Earlier this year, EPA came under harsh criticism from agricultural groups after information on 80,000 livestock operations to activist groups Earth Justice, the Pew Charitable Trust and the Natural Resources Defense Council in response to their Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The information EPA released incoluded private material, including names, home addresses, personal telephone numbers and employee records, and EPA did not inform the ag community of the disclosure until after the fact.
The American Farm Bureau Federation's (AFBF) filed a lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order against the EPA, and in July, the agency announced it would hold off on responding to any future FOIA requests for the same information until the legal issues are resolved by a court.

You only live once, so the expression goes, and it may be time for the powers that be to consider what might otherwise be an outrageous proposal that would position this county in the forefront of what is one of our nation's most profitable enterprises.
I'm speaking of porn, and the millions of dollars it could bring to our area if we're willing to bend our morals just a smidge.
By now most people know that Measure B in the Los Angeles makes it a requirement for those in the adult entertainment industry to wear condoms. In response, actors in the industry are threatening to take their business elsewhere, possibly out of state. Well, we in Yolo County should open our arms and accept those free-enterprise loving individuals willing to relocate by offering them tax credits and other inducements. After all, porn is a $7 billion industry.
We don't need to be greedy; a few million would do nicely.
Having adult entertainment productions relocate to Yolo would provide jobs for those of legal age as well as give companies like Ludy's, the Buckhorn and others opportunities for catering.
We also have many homes -- and barns with lots of hay -- throughout the county that are absolutely gorgeous (including those which are vacant or being foreclosed). These would make great sets for filming -- once suitable rental fees were negotiated.
Naturally, we would have to hire a "porn liasion" through the Yolo County Convention & Visitor's Bureau to coordinate the ins and outs of filming but that's no problem. There would be plenty of applicants.
Another nice thing about the porn industry (well, one of many nice things) is that we wouldn't strain prime farmland.
I know there will be opposition to such an immodest proposal, but we need to keep businesses from fleeing California due to excessive government regulations. And porn films have to be made somewhere.
So, if all it takes is a little guarantee that we won't impose the use of condoms on a group of hard-working actors who grind out their scenes daily behind closed doors what's the problem?
In these days we need to look to our economic future, and porn is an industry that is almost recession proof and offers enormous opportunities for those seeking careers in film such as camera operators, stunt doubles, sound technicians, remix specialists, and, of course, writers.
Additionally, Woodland Community College would have a source of talent for film classes. UCDavis could offer porn business courses.
Heck we can't lose. And both Democrats and Republicans would find they have something in common.

A fishing boat skipper from Penryn must pay £50,000 after being found guilty of plundering a protected area off Wales for scallops.
Mark Powell, aged 44, of Old Well Gardens, was been fined just three per cent of what local magistrates could have ordered him to pay.
Powell ran "the most modern, most sophisticated, purpose built, state of the art" scallop dredger Golden Fleece II into the bay on at least 14 occasions and cleaned out scallops worth £588,317 of which £428,289 worth had been caught illegally.
He admitted 14 offences of fishing in a protected area and 14 of failing to report his catch.
Swansea crown court heard that magistrates in Haverfordwest had sent the case to the crown court because their sentencing powers were too limited.
Judge Huw Davies said he could not "get my head round" the decision as they could have fined him up to £50,000 for each of the 28 offences.
James Subbiani, prosecuting, said he was "in difficulty entering the minds of the magistrates."
Judge Davies said he had to bear in mind the totality of the sentence and Powell's ability to pay.
As Oliver Powell (no relation), representing Powell and three of his relatives, progressed his mitigation, Mr Subbiani interjected to say that there had been discussions prior to the prosecution with Powell's legal team, and it had been agreed that the fine should match the value of the catch, namely £428,289, although he could be fined more.
Oliver Powell said there had been a "misunderstanding."
There was no dispute about the value of the scallops dredged up illegally, he added, but Mark Powell could not pay more than £50,000 a year.
Powell was fined a total of £42,000 and ordered to pay £8,000 in prosecution costs. He was given 12 months to pay.
Judge Davies said he would not confiscate the Golden Fleece 2.
Powell's father Clinton Powell, aged 77, his mother Andrea, 72, and his wife Lisa, 40, each admitted one offence of illegal scallop dredging on the basis that they were "silent" part owners of the vessel.
They were each fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £250 in costs. They offered to pay immediately by credit card.
Mr Subbiani said all of Cardigan Bay, apart from an area known as Kaiser's Box, named after a professor at Bangor University, was a no go area for scallop fishing boats in a bid to conserve and develop stocks following a "bonanza" season.
Despite that, "a lot of unauthorised dredging" had been going on and a letter from the Welsh Government had been handed out asking for information about who was responsible.
On March 20, 2012, HMS Mersey happened to spot the Golden Fleece 2 inside the prohibited area and boarded the vessel.
Mr Subbiani said the equivalent of an aircraft's transponder had been deliberately turned off in a bid to conceal the real location of the Golden Fleece 2. But there were other devices which enabled the authorities to build a pattern of the ship's fishing activities.
On trip one of the 2011/2012 scallop fishing season the Golden Fleece 2 had spent just 2.65% of its time inside the prohibited zone. That increased to 23.1% on trip two and shot up to 98.99% during trip five.
On average, said Mr Subbiani, the Golden Fleece 2 had spent 72.25% of its time dragging up scallops from within the protected area.
Judge Davies said Mark Powell had known "the waters of Cardigan Bay" very well and was fully aware of the prohibited area.
But he accepted that he had been "stunned" to be accused when others were doing the same thing.
But the fact that others were also cheating the rules did not excuse his offending.

I've been playing for a lot of years and have recently moved away from wide rim high speed drivers (nukes mainly) and am looking specifically for some suggestions in the driver department. I'll give a bit of history - I jumped around from driver to driver for years, throwing the latest and greatest and never really settling into anything, until the nuke came out. I fell in love with the nuke (esp & z) immediately and have thrown it exclusively up until a couple months ago. I'm trying to make some changes in my throw for health reasons, like slowing down and being more fluid and I have found that when I get something like a nuke, boss, destroyer etc in my hand I feel the need to throw hard. yeah I know, it's mental thing that I could work on, which I probably will eventually, but for now, I have found that smaller rim stuff really help me to slow down and focus on snap instead of throwing hard. but thats another topic as for the mids, i used to carry a meriad of rocs in various stages of beatness. i resisted the buzzz hype when it came out, and was a snobby roc thrower for a while, until I gave in a tried a buzzz... pretty much immediately all of those rocs were gone. Putter has been the same since '98.
drivers; *looking for a smaller(ish) rim long turnover/roller (roadrunner or avenger-ss maybe(?) but haven't managed to get to finger any yet)
champ PD - just started throwing about a month ago, jury's still out but I think it might replace my tracker as I seem to be getting more glide/dist out of it.
z-tracker - main distance driver
z-stalker - fairway/straight/turnover
z-predator - just started with this about a month ago to fill the overstable gap; seems to be what I needed there.
esp proto nuke-ss - super flippy for dirtbag rollers only.
mids/approach; *no help needed here, my short game rocks; comments/suggestions welcome.

Hello everyone,
I started doing breathing meditation earlier, after not meditating for months. Near the end of my meditation, I had a really strange sensation where my face and jaw started tingling.
After I got up I was really light headed and kind of wobbly. Is this normal sometimes, or was I not breathing properly? (I was trying to let the breath come naturally)
Thanks for your help.

San Antonio, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - The San Antonio Spurs will have Patty Mills back in the fold when the reigning NBA champions attempt to defend their title in the upcoming season, with the team announcing Saturday that it has re-signed the valued reserve guard.
The Spurs did not release terms of the agreement, though previous reports indicated it was a three-year deal worth approximately $12 million.
Mills played a key role on a San Antonio bench corps that averaged an NBA-best 45.1 points per game in 2013-14, producing 10.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 81 contests during the regular season. The five-year veteran shot 42.5 percent from 3-point range and reached double-figure points in 37 games.
The native Australian is expected to be sidelined for the start of the 2014-15 campaign after recently undergoing surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder.
San Antonio also announced it has signed forward Kyle Anderson, the club's first-round pick in the 2014 draft, to a rookie contract.
One of the more versatile players in this year's draft class, the 6-foot-9 Anderson averaged 14.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.8 steals as a sophomore at UCLA in 2013-14. The 20-year-old became the first Bruin since the legendary Bill Walton in 1973-74 to accumulate at least 10 points, five rebounds and five assists per game in a single season.
The Spurs selected Anderson with the final choice (No. 30 overall) in the first round.

British musician born to Scottish parents living in London. For his 14th birthday, they gave him a guitar, little knowing that his life was shaped from that moment. As a youth he bummed around Europe and around home in London as a hippie. He joined an R'n'B band as a vocalist and harmonica player in 1963, playing gigs throughout England.
After playing in a backup band he signed with Decca as a solo singer. His debut single failed to make the charts. On 8/06/1964 he made a TV debut on "The Beat Boom" with the "Hoochie Goochie Men." Going through several other bands, he released another solo single in November 1965, also appearing in a TV documentary, "Rod the Mod." The bands kept shifting and the faces changing over the next few years as Stewart accumulated credits and experience. In 1970 his "Gasoline Alley" began climbing up the charts, and he started a 28-date U.S. tour on 10/01/70. Through the '70s his name became increasingly familiar along with his gravel voice, lawn-mower haircut and lean shape, until he was uncontestably a rock superstar by 1976.
In 1975 he set up permanent residency in the U.S., conveniently sidestepping a million-dollar tax bill in the UK.
"The Best of Rod Stewart" made No. 90 in the U.S. charts in May 1976. "A Night on the Town," released 7/10/1976, made No.1 in the UK and No.2 in the U.S. In November 1977 he made another major tour, and in December 1979, his "Rod Stewart's Greatest Hits" topped the UK chart for a solid five weeks along with U.S. releases consistently soaring up the charts.
Noted for packing stages and making sold-out world wide tours, Stewart also became known for romancing some of the world's most beautiful women. On 3/05/1975 he met actress Britt Ekland in Hollywood and began a highly publicized romance. In 1978 he met Alana Hamilton; they married on 4/6/1979 and had two kids, Kimberly in 1979 and Sean in 1980. They divorced in 1983. In May 1989 she applied for an increase in alimony.
On 4/26/1982, he was mugged in Los Angeles while standing next to his car. In an unfortunate display of rock-concert mania, 450 fans were injured trying to rush the stage at a concert in Monterey, CA on 4/08/1989. On 6/03/1989 he cancelled a gig because of voice problems, but resumed his schedule a few weeks later. He made a habit of selectively canceling engagements whenever he had a bad throat. A soccer fan, his habit of kicking soccer balls into the audience rebounded several times. On 1/16/1990, a fan brought a lawsuit, saying that he fractured a kneecap at a concert on 4/22/1989 due to being run over by fans catching a ball, and on 11/13/1990, another fan filed a suit for rupturing a tendon in her finger for the same cause at a concert on 6/22/1990: she was awarded a $17,000 settlement. His dad died in September 1990.
In 1990, Stewart broke up with Kelly Emberg, his girl friend of the past five years and the mother of their three-year old daughter, Ruby, On 2/15/1990, she filed a $25 million palimony suit in Los Angeles. He soon found another gorgeous partner, New Zealand model Rachel Hunter, 21. They married on 12/15/1990, Beverly Hills, CA and renewed their vows in London in 1995. They have four children starting with daughter Renee on 6/02/1992, London. They separated on 1/07/1999, claiming that Rachel needed to "find herself."
In 1991 Stewart was performing to sell-out crowds of 50,000, breaking house records and bringing in box-offices of over one-and-a-half million.
On 5/12/2000, after finishing his album, "Human," Stewart had surgery on his thyroid after doctors discovered a nodule. He went home with a clean bill of health.
The singer's wife, Rachel Hunter, filed for divorce in Los Angeles on June 16, 2003 in Los Angeles but later withdrew the request. The couple split in 1999. On June 2, 2005, the musician filed for divorce from Hunter. Stewart is engaged to be married to 34-year-old model Penny Lancaster. The day before he filed for divorce, the rocker and his fiancée announced that they were expecting a baby in early December. That child, a boy, arrived on November 27, 2005 ("early in the morning") according to news reports in London. The singer married Penelope Lancaster on June 16, 2007 at 10 AM in Santa Margherita, Liguria, Italy.

Society History
The American Physical Society was founded on May 20, 1899, when 36 physicists gathered at Columbia University for that purpose. They proclaimed the mission of the new Society to be "to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics", and in one way or another the APS has been at that task ever since.
Early Years: Journals Added to Meetings
In the early years, virtually the sole activity of the APS was to hold scientific meetings, initially four per year. In 1913, the APS took over the operation of the Physical Review, which had been founded in 1893 at Cornell, and journal publication became its second major activity.
Physical Review was followed by Reviews of Modern Physics in 1929, and by Physical Review Letters in 1958. Over the years, Physical Review has subdivided into five separate sections as the fields of physics have proliferated and the number of submissions grew.
Recent Years: Expanding Scientific Service through Programs
In more recent years, the activities of the Society have broadened considerably. Stimulated by the increase in Federal funding in the period after the second World War, and even more by the increased public involvement of scientists in the nineteen sixties, APS is active in public and governmental affairs, and in the international physics community.
In addition, the Society conducts extensive programs in education, public outreach, and media relations. APS divisions and topical groups cover all areas of physics research. Forums reflect the interest of its over 53,000 members in broader issues, and sections are organized by geographical region.

DENVER -- Friday marked Carlos Gonzalez's return and Justin Morneau's first game against the franchise with which he spent 11 years. But it was Jorge De La Rosa's steady presence that stole the show as he toughed out a right hamstring injury and guided the Rockies to a 6-2 victory over the Twins.
"Jorgy did his thing again," said manager Walt Weiss about De La Rosa's fourth consecutive win. "He's winning games for us even during a time where it has been tough to win games."
With a handful of scouts in attendance, including from the Orioles, De La Rosa gave the Rockies his fourth straight outing of at least six innings, limiting the Twins to six hits and a run off an Eduardo Nunez groundout in the second. His only walk was intentional and he struck out three over six innings.
"When your starting pitcher does well, the game tends to fall into place for you, as we saw tonight with Jorgy," Weiss said. "You hand the ball to the bullpen and they've got to put three innings away as opposed to four or five."
Weiss was "surprised" De La Rosa went as deep as he did after feeling a cramp in his right hamstring following a second inning sacrifice bunt. De La Rosa clutched his leg as he gingerly pulled up to first but gave no thought to leaving the game. And with the caliber of defense he was getting behind him, who could blame him?
In his first game since June 4, Gonzalez finished 1-for-4 with a run scored but broke in his new, everyday position of right field by gunning out Brian Dozier in the third inning. Gonzalez coaxed Dozier to take third by letting Kendrys Morales' single come to him before unleashing a bull's-eye to Nolan Arenado for the second out of the frame.
"You always pitch really comfortable with that kind of defense," said De La Rosa of Gonzalez. "Having [another] Gold Glove in there, you pitch more relaxed."
The Rockies received another collective exhale during a bases-loaded jam in the eighth. With two outs, Troy Tulowitzki scooped up Kurt Suzuki's sharp grounder and made a leaping, fade-away throw across the diamond to end the threat.
"Not a lot of shortstops can make that play with the bases loaded," Gonzalez said. "If the guy is safe, it's a different game. Whenever we have those guys out there making the plays that they're supposed to, we're going to be a really good team."
Drew Stubbs put the Rockies on the board in the first inning with a two-run shot to left-center -- his fourth home run in his last six games.
Wilin Rosario made it a 3-1 game with a single, scoring Arenado after he led off the second inning with some aggressive baserunning for his first triple of the season. Arenado also singled in the sixth for his first multi-hit game since returning from a fractured left middle finger last Thursday.
Tulowitzki followed up Gonzalez's first hit in his return from left index finger inflammation by depositing a two-run homer into the right-field bleachers in the third. The home run was Tulowitzki's 21st of the season, tying the National League Home Run Derby captain with Giancarlo Stanton for the NL lead.
"The one [Tulowitzki] hit out, it was supposed to be a sinker," Twins manager Rod Gardenhire said. "The only time it sunk was when it was in the stands."
Twins left-hander Kris Johnson (0-1) made it through another inning before being pulled at 57 pitches in his second start for Minnesota.
The Rockies scored their sixth and final run on Brandon Barnes' second pinch-hit home run of the season in the seventh. The pinch-hit RBI was the Rockies' Major League leading 25th of the season.
Nunez pushed across the Twins only other run on a forceout to Tulowitzki with runners on the corners in the eighth. LaTroy Hawkins came on in the ninth to log his 18th save despite Dozier sending the last out to the warning track.
Playing against the Twins for the first time, Morneau went hitless in his four at-bats. But he's part of a core that makes the Rockies capable of hanging with anybody when completely intact, according to Gonzalez.
"We can be a really good team, there's no doubt about that," Gonzalez said. "In the beginning, we were really good but like every year, it's been difficult for our club whenever injuries hit. Whenever we're out there together, the veterans … we feel confident."

Hybrids as a speech topic
I see someone is doing hybrids for a homework project. Well, my 11 year old son has picked hybrids as a speech topic so this seems like a good place for him to get some information.
My main concern is for him to keep the audience interested and not get bogged down with too many of the technical aspects, spouting out statistics about mileage and other numbers that go over most peoples' head. I'm a mother who doesn't care much about cars other than as a way to get from point A to point B, can you tell? I do think hybrids are great though and wonder why they aren't more popular given the global warming crisis and the nonrenewable state of fossil fuels.
A speech has to be lively and keep the audience engaged so it's important to get information that people can relate to.
Anyone have some good stories to tell of your hybrid experiences? How do they compare to regular cars? Do they feel different on the road? Sound different? How do people react to you having one? Are they positive about it? Anyone negative about them?
I will get my son to look around at the forum to get info but there's so much here, I thought I'd ask for some assistance in narrowing our focus a little. Thanks!

Millsap for Rush and Foster
Millsap would easily be out solution at PF (long term)
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
Utah has invested to much in Milsap for that.
I was thinking about Utah, and the fact that they're still gonna be over the LT this year.
Is this pie in the sky?
AK-47 + Milsap for Tyler, Rush, Foster, Dunleavy.
This adds $4.2M in salary for the Pacers this year, which puts them close to but not over the LT. It removes $4.2M from the Jazz, who are at roughly $75M. So the worst case scenario for them is it save tham $8.4M total (when you include the LT). Also, it gets them in striking distance of actually being under the tax with a follow up trade.
So that seems like a big financial haul for them. They'd probably still be ok on the court, and we would definitely get a big boost.
I`m not ready to give up on Rush just yet and Foster is the only back up center. I would look at a trade M.D. OR T.J. (or either of the Jones
Honestly, I doubt we could get Millsap from Utah without sending them Danny. And I don't think that would be a good idea on our part.
I can't figure how they're that high on Milsap when they just traded for Al Jefferson. So I'd think he's gettable. I think we can live with Solo, McRoberts, and going small. You could really play Milsap like a C in a pinch. He's got a big enough *** for it
Jefferson was definitely obtained to play center in Okur's absence. If he ever plays alongside Fesenko he'll probably slide to the 4 but I would be very surprised to see them trading Millsap without getting a quality, starter-caliber player in return.

Calgary denies T-Birds in OT, 4-3
Updated: February 10, 2013 12:30 PM
The Calgary Hitmen won a hard-fought game, 4-3 over the Seattle Thunderbirds in overtime Saturday night at the ShoWare Center.
Seattle (19-32-5-1) has lost six straight and nine of its last 10 games.
The T-Birds next play the Vancouver Giants at 7:35 p.m. Friday at the ShoWare Center.
The Thunderbirds got on the scoreboard 3:58 into the game. Connor Honey started a T-Birds breakout and passed the puck to Roberts Lipsbergs who skated up the left boards into the Hitmen zone. He slid a pass to Alexander Delnov driving to the net who then beat Calgary goalie Chris Driedger with a low shot to make it 1-0 Seattle.
The same line struck again at the 5:54 mark after a nice spell of contained pressure in the Hitmen zone. Honey got the puck in the corner and took several Hitmen defensemen with him before sliding a backhand pass to Delnov on the other side of the net. Lipsbergs was left wide open in the slot and Delnov found him to put away his 21st goal of the season and give the T-Birds a 2-0 lead at the first intermission.
Shots in the first period were 11-9 in favor of the Thunderbirds.
Calgary made it 2-1 when Brooks Macek scored on an odd-man rush. Jake Virtanen and Aex Roach were credited with the assists coming at 3:36 of the second.
The Hitmen managed to tie the game 2-2 during a four-minute T-Birds power play. Cody Sylvester scored an unassisted shorthanded goal at the 15:35 mark, taking the teams into the third period knotted at two.
Shots for the second period were 15-8 in favor of Seattle, with the two-period total 26-17 T-Birds.
In the third period, the Thunderbirds broke through on the power play to make it 3-2 10:27 into the period. Jesse Forsberg and Adam Kambeitz assisted Riley Sheen, whose slap shot was deflected past Driedger. It was Sheen's 11th of the year.
The Hitmen came back, however, and tied the game 3-3 when Sylvester notched his second of the night at the 16:27 mark. Brassart and Macek had the assists.
Shots in the third period were 13-13, with Seattle leading 39-30 heading into overtime.
In overtime, Victor Rask scored on the power play 46 seconds into overtime to win it for Calgary.
Calgary goaltender Chris Driedger stopped 36 of 39 shots for the Hitmen, and improved his record to 27-12-1-2.
Seattle goalie Danny Mumaugh stopped 27 of 31 shots and now has a record of 0-5-1-0 on the Season.

At this time of the season, every game carries a life-or-death feel for teams in the NCAA Tournament bubble conversation. They rarely are quite that important—remember, the phrase "body of work" is key—but the tournament selection committee is watching intently.
Here's what they saw on Tuesday night.
Key dates for 2013 NCAA Tournament | Dates of conference finals
GOOD NIGHT: Ole Miss/BAD NIGHT: Alabama
Outcome: Ole Miss knocked off Alabama, 87-83, in Oxford, Miss. This game was a lopsided affair for most of the night, with the host Rebels in complete control. They had a double-digit lead almost all game, and still led by 16 points with a shade over five minutes left in the second half. Alabama closed strong, but Ole Miss made 17-of-20 free throws down the stretch to hold on for the victory between these two fringe-bubble teams.
Prognosis: Both teams entered this game on the wrong side of the bubble, with weak NCAA Tournament resumes that lack quality victories. This doesn't really help Ole Miss much, but it does hurt Alabama. Ole Miss still ranks No. 55 in the UPS Team Performance Index and Alabama fell to No. 100. The Tide now likely will have to win the SEC Tournament to get into the big dance.
Linemakers: Pomeroy talks low scores | Gallery: No. 1 upsets | Scoreboard
BAD NIGHT: Arkansas
Outcome: Lost at Missouri. This was just about the worst possible result for the Razorbacks. Not only did they drop their eighth SEC road game in nine tries, but they weren't even remotely competitive on Tuesday. Mizzou built a 26-point lead by halftime, and wound up cruising to a 30-point victory (93-63), a cathartic win for the players and fans who were still upset—as was obvious from the boos—with the way Mike Anderson left the Tigers to coach Arkansas, where he had been a longtime assistant for Nolan Richardson. And this wasn't the first bad road loss for the Razorbacks. Six of those eight SEC road losses were by a dozen points or more, and the margin of defeat in those eight games is an ugly 15.5 points per game. That won't impress the Selection Committee.
Prognosis: At this point, it's hard to imagine the series of dominoes falling that it would take for Razorbacks to earn an at-large berth. It's SEC title or bust.

GOOD NIGHT: Iowa
Outcome: Won at home vs. Illinois. This wasn't a pretty game—Iowa shot just 38.9 percent from the field—but the Hawkeyes did what they needed to do, which was earn another win against a team that will wind up playing in the NCAA Tournament. It was another good defensive effort; the Hawkeyes tied a school record with 12 blocked shots—Illinois made just nine 2-point attempts in the game.
Prognosis: There's plenty of work ahead. Iowa has to beat Nebraska at home and pick up another quality win or two in the Big Ten Tournament to merit serious at-large consideration.
BAD NIGHT: Southern Miss
Outcome: Lost at Marshall. This wasn't any ordinary defeat for the Golden Eagles. Remember, this is a Marshall team that Southern Miss led 53-17 at halftime on January 23 and wound up beating, 102-46, at home. Now, with their ever-so-thin at-large chances on the line, the Golden Eagles lost at Marshall.
Prognosis: C-USA title or bust
BAD NIGHT: Boise State
Outcome: Lost at UNLV. The Broncos came oh-so-close to a much-needed road victory in a game against one of the Mountain West's best teams, a UNLV squad that's undefeated at home in conference play. They led at halftime, but couldn't overcome foul trouble for Derrick Marks, their outstanding sophomore guard. He scored 38 points in a home win against Colorado State last weekend, but played just 18 minutes before fouling out—Boise State fans weren't happy with a couple of those whistles—with only four points. The Broncos had a six-point lead with five minutes left, but UNLV closed the game on an 18-8 run to win the game, 68-64.
Prognosis: A win would have done wonders for the Broncos, who were a No. 11 seed in this week's Field of 68 projection. A loss doesn't crush their at-large hopes, obviously, but it does mean a home game against San Diego State on Saturday and the MWC Tournament are slightly more important.

Some Los Altos residents at a June 18 public meeting favored a trail alignment that includes a portion of Foothill Expressway, above.
Los Altos officials last week updated residents on proposed Stevens Creek Trail alignments through the city and opened the discussion to audience input. Input they received – in spades.
A standing-room-only crowd of 250 residents packed the Grant Park meeting room June 18 to offer their perspectives and review potential trail connections through Los Altos as part of the four-cities Stevens Creek Trail Feasibility Study. The study involves a regional approach in connecting the trail between Mountain View and Cupertino – and includes potential alignments through Los Altos, Sunnyvale and along the creek corridor itself.
The study includes the cities of Los Altos, Mountain View, Cupertino and Sunnyvale.
"This is a very long vision to connect the Bay to the ocean," said Jana Sokale, a consultant hired by the four-cities team to conduct the study.
The city scheduled the meeting to address residents' concerns and to get them "on the same page," Los Altos City Councilwoman Jeannie Bruins noted.
In recent months, several residents on Fallen Leaf – one of the study's potential alignment areas in Los Altos – organized to oppose alignments through the city's residential streets, including theirs.
Sokale described three potential trail alignment concepts that would affect Fallen Leaf Lane: a bike route connector with signage through the neighborhood, a more elaborate design calling for marked bike sharrows to share the road with motorists along Fallen Leaf and a 6-foot-wide colored paved walkway and landscaped bulb-outs at intersections to reduce vehicle speeds.
Bruins notified residents that the 60-foot-wide Class I Pathway Design Concept proposed for Fallen Leaf – which would have required Los Altos to reclaim up to 18 feet of public right-of-way that has been built up with residents' fencing and yards over decades – was "no longer being considered."
Several residents voiced concerns that placing a trail of any kind along Fallen Leaf would increase vehicle and bicycle traffic. Some objected on grounds that it would negatively affect their home values.
Noreen Miller, a 28-year resident, said placing a trail along Fallen Leaf could eliminate street parking for residents and turn the neighborhood into a busy thoroughfare for trail users.
"It really frightens me to think we're going to open (the neighborhood) up to the rest of the world or something," she said.
A self-described biking fanatic, Los Altos resident David O'Ryan said he feared that placing a dedicated trail bike route in the neighborhood would result in another Foothill Expressway – a popular biking route for area cyclists. O'Ryan was one of several nearby residents who favored alternate trail connections along Fremont Avenue, Grant Road and Foothill – similar to a route outlined in a 2008 feasibility study conducted solely by Los Altos.
"I would really be happy to see the trail extended, but taking it through someone's neighborhood is not the way to do it," said Los Altos resident Tracy Gibbons.
Fallen Leaf resident Ross Lapin added that he was "very disappointed" to see that all three trail concepts presented at the meeting focused on his street.
"The only presentation made was to mess with Fallen Leaf Lane," he said.
Far fewer supported a trail alignment along residential streets.
Michael McTighe, a Los Altos Planning and Transportation Commissioner speaking on his own behalf, drew a chorus of boos when he said a trail would increase safety for younger bicyclists.
"As a parent, one of the major groups of people not represented are the students who ride (bikes) up and down Fallen Leaf," he said.
GreenTown Los Altos volunteer Susan Runowicz-Smith, an 18-year resident, also received a smattering of jeers after noting that some residents' attitudes toward the trail made her feel uneasy riding her bike in Los Altos.
"It really, really hurts that Los Altos could be viewed as not welcoming to cyclists," she said.
The study's Citizens Working Group is slated to meet Aug. 1, followed by an Aug. 12 meeting of its Joint Cities Working Team, comprising one elected representative from each city.

"Gambit" is a curiosity. It's a remake of the 1966 caper movie with Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. The new one has a script by the Coen brothers and stars Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz. Apparently it sat around for a while before finally getting released on video on demand a month ago.
"Eastern Bandits" and "Journey to the West" are martial arts Westerns.
Otherwise, there are a couple of special Criterion Collection editions of note: Howard Hawks' classic Western "Red River" — which may have John Wayne's best performance — and Wes Anderson's terrific "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou."
"The Bridge: Season 1" is the original Danish version of the FX series.

Our ice maker has stopped making ice. My neighbor came over and ran some tests on everything and figures it is probably the sensors are bad/blocked so it never thinks it needs to make more ice. I want to order new sensors for each side but dont know what parts they are by the diagram!
Hi Scott,
Thank you for the question. We refer tot he sensors as the Emitter and Receiver Boards. These boards tells the ice maker when it's full and that it has to dump the ice, and it also tells the ice maker when to refill with water.
Hope this helps!
Ice maker display leds and water dispenser not working?
Hi Brooks,
Thank you for your inquiry. It sounds like you have an issue with the electronic board or the emitter and receiver boards and you will test them with a multimeter to verify which part is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
Icemaker stopped making ice. What is the part number for the replacement? Also, how can i be sure that the icemaker is the problem? Your site says the circuit board behind the flap could be he problem. Is there a way to test which is the problem before i order parts?
Hi Brain,
Thank you for your question. I have attached the part information for your ice maker down below for you. You may also want to check your water inlet valve as well. The valve has two solenoids, one for the water valve and one for the ice maker. If the valve is not working it will not send the water up to the ice maker. You can test all of these parts with a multimeter. Good luck with your repair.
Ice maker quit working, so I replaced it. Makes ice but will not eject it. Could the problem be the emitter and receiver boards?
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for the question. These boards tells the ice maker when it's full and that it has to dump the ice, and it also tells the ice maker when to refill with water, so I do not think it would be the boards.
I suggest checking to see if the Auger is turning in the ice bucket and pushing the ice out. Also check to see if the ice door is opening and not stuck or frozen closed.
Hope this helps!
First, I tested the ice maker "switch" that actually just covers the beam that regulates the ice maker. In the "off" position, it still made ice. Then, I removed the three screws on the cover over the transmitter and disconnected the circuit board at the wire connector. It stopped. After ordering and receiving the new transmitter and receiver boards, I replaced both boards. They are located on either side of the freezer compartment under panels held in place by three screws. Probably saved 150 to 200 bucks.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Did the diagnostics with the blinking light and couldn't decide what was bad....so ordered the control boards and the module motor assm. also. Turned out that it was the control boards and would suggest that future customers order that part first...if it isn't that then get the module and motor assm......these guys ship really fast and the prices are literally half of what Sears would charge, not to also mention the cost of their service man to walk through your door...OUCH!
I first removed the power cord of the refrigerator from the receptacle. I then removed the screws (3 each) from both the emitter and receiver face plates with a phillips screw driver. I than carefully removed the connector to the each of the circuit boards. A simple pull maneuver. I removed the circuit boards from the face plates. I took the new parts and put them back in reverse order. I put the power cord back in the receptacle.
While looking for parts I read the advice on you web site under the ice maker parts. I also had problems reading the LED codes. They would change each time I unplugged the refrig and powered up. I took the other guys advice, ordered the emittered and receiver and the next morning I had ice. GREAT service guys, thanks. Also the part was on my door step in 1.5 days. Sure beat an expensive service charge.
If you remove the bottom vent panel of the refrigerator there are two schematics for the refrigerator. One for the fridge and one for the icemaker. The icemaker has an emitter and a receiver that will tell the icemaker when it is ok to dump ice and add water. The receiver has an LED that blinks different codes. The codes give you an idea where your problem is located. In my case it coded out to be the optics (emitter and receiver). Replacement of the parts involves the removal of three screws on each component and disconnecting a wire harness on each component. Install the new components by following the removal process in reverse. The total cost was $80.00. This was half the price Sears wanted for the parts and about the same price to have a Sears repairman just show up at the house.
I looked at some online diagnostics info and the owner's manual. The "error code" blinking red light on the receiver unit (located adjacent to the ice bucket) indicated that the emitter/receiver units were faulty. I located the parts on the PartSelect website (their price was less than half of what they wanted on the Sears website) and ordered them. I didn't pay for the expedited shipping and still received the parts within two days of ordering. Powered down the refrigerator, three simple screws to remove each cover for the emitter and receiver, unplug the old units and pop in the new units, replace the covers for each unit, repowered the fridge and, voila, you've got ice. I completed the repairs in less than 10 minutes. Couldn't be happier with the price, the diagnostics links/info or the prompt service. Next time I have an appliance issue, my first stop will be this website.
Well I changed out the optical boards which I thought were the problem and the ice maker is still not making any ice. I can see the ice makers fingers rotating but there is no water entering through the tube. I jumped the water manifold in the back and water comes out but I cant figure out what is not telling it to run water and fill the ice tray. Any ideas would be appreciated I guess i'll replace the ice maker next. Thanks in advance.
Emiter blinking red; ice maker stopped working. Called appliance repair, said electronic control boards needed to be replaced. Quoted me $275, including parts. Ordered part at partselect.com, installed in 15 min and ice maker started producing ice. Also discovered on other online forums that this part is a common failure on these model refrigerators. Very easy to swap out, plug & play. Make sure to unplug appliance before performing repair due to shock risk.
Taped plastic cover to get it out of the way with duct tape - removed three screws on each side - removed retaining screw for each module - carefully disengaged module using small flat head screw driver being sure to release the plastic retainer and then reverse the process. Be sure new modules snap into place. Biggest problem was initially figuring out what the problem was. Turning off the ice maker had no effect and it just kept making ice.
I installed a new icemaker and ice level sensors I also had to replace crummy plastic trim parts because of poor quality and broke during disassembly
After receiving the replacement emitter and receiver boards from PartSelect.com, I following the troubleshooting paperwork that came with my order to ensure the parts I ordered where the problem. After which, it was very straight forward: unplug the frig, unscrew the 3 screws on the covers for each board, unplug the push-pin connection, remove the board screw, set the new board in, and plug back into the connection. It took approximately 20min.
I unplugged the refrigeratorOpened the freezer doorOpened the ice maker door so that I could easily get to the emitter and receiverI used a phillips head screw driver to remove 3 screws from the emitter plate and 3 screws from the receiver plateI unplugged the faulty circuit boards--this took some tuggingI firmly plugged in the new circuit boards and replaced the screwsI waited about 30 minutes and the ice maker began making ice again
Light was blinking on the Electronic Control Boards. Ordered replacement (emitter and receiver)and installed, and now it's working.Some note: 1 year ago, the board started to blinks (meaning it's bad) but it was still making ice. This gave me a false error when it really failed, took the risk and ordered the replacement parts and all is well now.One more thing to pay attention to , and it may only be on my model of refrigerator, but the wires harness that connect to the receiver board (big board) have large and stiff wire. With limited space where the board and the wire are seat at, it put lots of pressure on the pressure on the board's connector. This pressure, over time, will cause the right angle connector's solders to crack and may be a contributor to the failure. If you're installing the new board, try to re-inforce the connector with some rubber heat glue and also relieve pressure from the connector's end, which I hope will prolong your board.
Repairing a refrigerator is inimidating to say the least. Our ice maker has broke twice in the two years that we have owned it. The first time we had a service repair faciliting come out and they replaced it for about $200. The second time I had no idea what the problem was until I came to this repair forum. I soon realized that the electronic control boards needed to be replaced. Received the part two days after ordering and it took all of about 5 minutes to unscrew the old boards, pop them out, and put in the new ones.Love your website and the money that you saved me!!! Thanks a million!
Ordered the parts from Parts Select and had them within two days (lightning fast shipment--and with just standard shipping). Disconnected the power to refrigerator, removed three screws from each cover panel, pulled the panels loose from the freezer wall, disconnected the wiring harness on each, removed the screws holding the two boards, replaced the boards with the new ones, attached boards to cover panel with screw, reconnected wiring harnesses, replaced the three screws on each side, restored power, and made ice! Whole job took about 15 minutes.

Hostess Brands and one of its biggest unions failed to reach an agreement in private mediation Tuesday, the company told FOX Business. The move will likely pave the way for an ultimate liquidation.

A Hostess spokesperson said the company will have no further comment until a hearing at 11:00 a.m. ET Wednesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Hostess, maker of Twinkies, Ding Dong's, Ho Ho's and Wonder Bread, announced last Friday it was going out of business amid a nationwide strike by its union employees. In a statement released Friday, Irving, Texas-based Hostess said it was shuttering 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, about 5,500 delivery routes and 570 bakery outlet stores in the U.S.
A statement from the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union was not immediately available.
The bankruptcy case had been adjourned at the request of Judge Robert Drain in favor of the last-ditch mediation effort. However, with no agreement, Hostess is expected to proceed with a liquidation that could cost some 18,000 jobs.
"This is a tragic outcome and our thoughts and prayers go out to all Teamster Hostess members and all Hostess employees," Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Ken Hall said in a statement. The Teamsters Union represents Hostess drivers.
