Blasted Twinkie Killers!

Editor's note: A version of this article first appeared at Forbes.com.
Drat! I'm bummed--saddened by the news that the Hostess company, home of the Twinkie and other venerable sugary snacks, is shutting down.
I'll bet I haven't eaten more than three or four Twinkies in the last 30 years, so the demise of Hostess doesn't adversely impact my lifestyle. It's just that, for baby boomers like me, the Twinkie has historic significance in popular culture. Being a kid in the '50s meant watching "The Mickey Mouse Club" and "The Lone Ranger" and snacking on Twinkies and Tootsie Rolls. Twinkies were as American as baseball. Now the company that makes them is facing liquidation. Why?
Because the bakery union wouldn't agree to the concessions needed to keep their employer afloat. Look, I don't wish lower wages on anybody, and having personally worked with great people in two unions (UAW and NEA), I have a natural sympathy for working men and women, but I can't respect a union that would kill off the Twinkie and their own jobs due to a false sense of pride.
Hostess lost $341 million last year. The money for the compensation that the bakery union wanted simply wasn't there. Even the Teamsters union, whom nobody would ever accuse of wimping out during contract talks, looked at Hostess' books and acknowledged that the only way to keep the operation afloat would have been for workers to accept lower compensation.
The bakery union, however, would have none of it. They couldn't have been so stupid as to misunderstand the simple arithmetic of Hostess' financial predicament, so one can only conclude that they went berserk with ideological madness: "better to destroy the company than to make concessions to management" seems to have been their cold-hearted calculus. The bakery union lost sight of an important truth understood by Samuel Gompers, the founder of the American Federal of Labor, over a century ago: what workers need is a company that operates at a profit.
The pending liquidation of Hostess raises some interesting questions: If people lose their jobs because they committed economic hara-kiri, should they still be entitled to receive taxpayer-funded unemployment? Should the Teamsters union members, whose jobs are also being lost because of the bakery union's decision, be allowed to file civil suit against the bakery union for compensatory damages for the losses they will suffer from the latter's reckless actions? Can the rank and file of the bakery union sue their union leaders for professional malpractice? (The malpractice is worse in the union's case, because most doctors convicted of malpractice don't intentionally try to harm patients, whereas the Hostess bakery union could see that their action would have a lethal effect, and they went ahead with it anyway.)
It is possible that Hostess has been living on borrowed time. Tastes have been gradually shifting to healthier foods and Hostess' complex financial structure (372 collective-bargaining agreements, 80 health and benefit plans, and 40 pension plans, according to The Wall Street Journal) might have guaranteed its eventual demise anyway. Still, for the union to kill off the source of their own members' income is ghastly. Can there be any silver linings in such a monstrous act? Perhaps.
Maybe union members will start demanding leadership that helps companies survive instead of killing them off. Maybe more union workers will come to understand which is the better choice for them: working zero hours per week at X dollars per hour or 40 hours per week at X-Y dollars per hour. Maybe the Twinkie brand will be sold to another firm so that this iconic snack doesn't go the way of the dodo. Maybe Americans will see that a corporate bankruptcy--even a corporate liquidation--doesn't mean that the company's product has to disappear, that its assets can still be put to productive use, and that at least some of its employees can continue to do the same kind of work under a different business plan based on an economically rational and sustainable cost structure.
Maybe, just maybe, it will dawn on Americans that the same stubborn and ultimately destructive denial of reality that brought down Hostess and possibly killed the innocent Twinkie is the same willful madness that we see in Washington, where ALF-CIO boss Richard Trumka flatly opposes government spending cuts and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refuses even to consider Social Security reform. Like the bakery union at Hostess, these powerful national figures seem ideologically incapable of recognizing the simple fact of life that they want more than the country can afford. Call it folly or madness or whatever, but if we don't wake up and change our ways, there will be far more economic destruction than just the loss of the venerable Hostess brand.

Canberra railway station is located in Kingston, Australian Capital Territory. The station is the terminus for NSW TrainLink rail services from Sydney and interchange point for NSW TrainLink coach services to Cootamundra, Bombala and Eden,[1] and the V/Line coach service to Bairnsdale, Victoria.[2] It is the only railway station in the ACT.
In March 1913 work began on a new 8.5 kilometres (5.3 mi) rail link from the capital to Queanbeyan on the Goulburn to Bombala branch line. The line was constructed, managed and operated by the New South Wales Public Works Department on behalf of the Federal Government.[3] It came under the control of the Commonwealth Railways in 1927.[4]
The station building opened on 21 April 1924. From 1927 when Federal Parliament moved to Canberra, the rail passenger service was upgraded with the introduction of a Canberra portion to the Cooma Mail overnight train to Sydney that connected with Melbourne sleeper trains at Goulburn.[3] A daylight service from Sydney was also introduced.
A new passenger terminal building was constructed in 1966. Canberra station, along with the line to Queanbeyan, was owned and staffed by Australian National until May 1985 when it was transferred to the NSW State Rail Authority which operated all the services on the line.[5]
Steam locomotive 1210 that had hauled the first train into Canberra in May 1914 was displayed on a plinth outside the station from January 1962 until September 1984, when it was moved to the Canberra Railway Museum and returned to service in 1988.[3][6]
Platforms and services[edit]
- NSW TrainLink Southern - terminating services; returning as country services to Sydney Central
Kingston to Civic Railway[edit]
Walter Burley Griffin's original Canberra plan included a railway to come to Canberra City, with stations on the north, east and south.
Work started in December 1920. The railway cost £A5370 and opened on 15 June 1921. It branched off from the Queanbeyan to Canberra line at the Power House siding near Cunningham Street, heading north on a raised embankment through the Causeway, and across the Molonglo River. The bridges over Jerrabomberra Creek and Molonglo River were of low temporary standard. A siding was provided to the north of the river at Russell for the workers camp that was there. The line curved to the north west in Reid, behind St Johns Church and the TAFE. A platform for the railway was built in what is now Garema Place. Finally a line continued to the north to Eloura Street in Braddon where there was a marshalling yard.
The track was owned and maintained by the Commonwealth Railways with trains operated by the New South Wales Government Railways.
In July 1922 a flood on the Molonglo River washed away the legs on the trestle bridge, leaving the bridge deck suspended by the rails and sagging into the water. The bridge was never reconstructed and the rails were removed in 1940.
Brickworks tramway[edit]
A narrow gauge 1,067-millimetre line was built in 1923 from the Yarralumla brickworks to Old Parliament house. This passed along Adelaide Avenue, and round the north of State Circle. A branch went to the Hotel Canberra. The line continued to the Power House in Kingston. The brickworks tramway was extended to Civic. It crossed the Molonglo on a bridge near Scotts Crossing. The older 4-foot-8½-inch-wide (1.435 m) track was reduced to the 3 1⁄2 feet (1.1 m) by shifting one rail. The tramway terminated at the Civic Centre Station. The tramway was dismantled on 9 May 1927 as a cleanup for the opening of parliament house.[3]
Railways planned but never built[edit]
The building of a railway between Canberra and Yass was specified in the Seat of Government Acceptance Act 1909, and plans were made to extend the existing Canberra line to Yass in 1924 and 1934. The proposal was last considered by the government in 1971, but was not considered to be economically justified.[3]
During World War I plans were drawn up for a railway to the Tuggeranong Arsenal. The route ran from the Queanbeyan line via Macarthur, Fadden, Erindale, Wanniassa and Oxley to a station in north east Greenway. There was also to be a hospital near the Kambah Wool Shed, a small-arms factory near Pine Island, and a civic centre. The line was not constructed.
A plan was also drawn for a Canberra to Jervis Bay line in 1914, to connect Canberra with what was to be its port. Little was heard of this project after 1921.[3]

it works?
Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?
You can work out the number someone else is thinking of as follows. Ask a friend to think of any natural number less than 100. Then ask them to tell you the remainders when this number is divided by. . . .

A Bermuda Triangle?? HELP!!
Ok so at our field, I was flying low and slow with my sport plane (maiden) and after about 4 minutes of flying around, I was thinking about landing and suddenly I hear another guy landing his plane (40 sized sport plane like mine) and it suddenly just nose dives into the ground breaking the wing off. Then about 5 seconds later another guy flew into the same space the 40 sport plane went down in and he lost everything too but managed to land it (it was a nitroplanes foam P-51 flying on Futaba FAAST, then after that, I'm the only one flying and in my mind i'm thinking "hope this doesn't happen to me", low and behold, my plane then enter an uncontrolled roll and it starts heading straight for the ground, then I regained control and got it back and brought it in hot since the motor quit while it went into fail safe. Many people have said they've had incidents in the zone I was flying in. I talked to an experienced fellow there thats been with my squadron for a long time and he said they use to bury appliances behind our tree line which isn't far away. He said there are a lot of appliances with MOTORS like refrigerators etc. So can this cause people who fly through a part of the field to loose control? I'm really nervous about flying there now and should I relocate where I fly?

I know that metal buried underground can create a magnetic anomoly, but I don't believe that can affect our radios.
In the case of your model you say it went into fail-safe, so it must have lost signal momentarily. Are your two receiver antennae mounted at right-angles to each other, and is your transmitter antenna not pointing direct at the model? Are there any transmitters (cellphone, radar, microwave etc.) near your field, or any metal poles between you and your model when it's in the air?

Was there any agricultural machinery operating in the area? We had some issues where people would get unexplained interference, and eventually noted that it only happened when the farmer was working in the field behind the flying site. Turns out, the combine harvester uses a GPS system as part of its systems for getting straight rows and most efficient harvesting, and the uplink/download telemetry was causing the interference.

When you say "low" how low and how far were you? 2.4Ghz seems to have limitations when flying really close to the ground (which is why they recommend putting the Sat as high as possible on the Plane).
Can you please describe how your Rx/Sat is mounted?
Is it the same configuration as the other flyers?
Did any of you check for holds on their Rxs? I would assume there would be based on what you described...
I am surprised the motor didn't come back once the signal was reestablished.
Did you do anything new on this flight? New Prop size for example?
Did you check the battery to make sure this wasn't just a good old LVC?
I fly in a noisy environment as well. Planes with DSM2 seems to be bound to go down in the field. DSMX does much better. For example, 150 flights with DSMX not a single issue. First flight with OrangeRx Plane went down (which may be related to DSM2 and/or the OrangeRx).

Are there any houses or businesses close to that "zone" over there? There is the likely possibility they have a strong WiFi setup for customers, home use or surveillance purposes. Some of these wireless systems can output a lot more RF wattage than the RC systems we are allowed to use. I have read about flying fields having problems where someone has a high power wireless system setup in the backyard that can affect their RC systems if they fly too close to it.
Next there may be a corporate or government microwave link signal beam passing through that "zone" too. The tight beam signals are extremely strong and can affect anything nearby too. Airport radar systems is another source as the radar beams are quite powerful and can jam out most everything not designed to be shielded for it. Those airport wind shear systems can play havoc with RC systems in some cases too. They can have some of those wind shear systems miles away from the airport
Finally the 2.4ghz signals we use are line of sight, trees, bushes, buildings, etc can all effectively block the signal if you get behind them. Plus being too close to the ground with bushes and trees about can do it too, as the signal loses its strength fast when you are too close to the ground.
Yes I would try flying at a different location to see if that aleviates the problem or not.

Whatever you use, you must sort out that battery connection problem. It might be one of the wires (usually the black) corroded at its connection to the battery, inside the casing, or it might be a loose pin on the plug, or even a problem where it plugs into the receiver. Can you try another battery to narrow down the problem?

Does the connector fit tightly? I have been seeing a few that fit loose. When they do fit loose, it usually causes connection issues.

Ok that sure looks like a good suspect for the problem. I would get a new switch harness and not even mess with it.

Drawing magic for Final Fantasy 8Home / Playstation /
This page contains Final Fantasy 8 Hints for Playstation called "Drawing magic" and has been posted or updated on Nov 24, 2006 by magmabandit. Let us know what you think of this Hint by thumbs voting.
- Developer: SquareSoft
- Publisher: Square EA
- Genre: Role-Playing Console-style RPG
- Release Date: Sep 7, 1999
- ESRB: Teen
Drawing magic
At the start of the game, draw all the low level magic you want since you can refine it with Mid-Mag-Rf (a GF ability). However, since you get all the high level magic early, do not draw it from enemies (Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, Triple, or Curaga). If you do and do not use up all of the mid level magic, you will not have enough room towards the end of the game to draw Flare, Ultima, Holy, or any other strong magic. When you receive Alexander from Sorcoress Edea after the Galbadian Garden/Balamb Garden battle (you must draw it from her), you will be able to make him learn High-Mag-Rf, which will let you refine mid to high level magic. The mid level magic is fine to this point, since you will get other magic such as Tornado, Meltdown, Reflect, and Quake to junction to your stats before then.

Obama's Nominee to Run Medicare: 'The Decision is Not Whether or Not We Will Ration Care--The Decision is Whether We Will Ration Care With Our Eyes Open'
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which runs Medicare, is a strong supporter of the government-run health care system in Britain, who said in a 2009 interview about Comparative Effectiveness Research: "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care--the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open."
The $787-billion stimulus law signed by President Obama created a Federal Coordinating Coucil for Comparative Effectivieness research in health care that some critics argue was a step toward rationing of heatlh care in the United States.
Donald Berwick, a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and the head of the non-profit Institute for Healthcare Improvement, was nominated by Obama on April 19, 2010.
In choosing Berwick, the Obama administration is implicitly admitting that the health care law passed by the Democrats in March will lead to the rationing of health care, said Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) in a May 19 press release.
Concerning Berwick's 2009 comment about the rationing of health care, the White House released a statement to several news organizations in which spokesman Reid Cherlin said the following:
"No one is surprised that Republicans plan to use this confirmation process to trot out the same arguments and scare tactics they hoped would block health insurance reform. The fact is, rationing is rampant in the system today, as insurers make arbitrary decisions about who can get the care they need. Don Berwick wants to see a system in which those decisions are transparent– and that the people who make them are held accountable."
The White House statement, according to Roberts, seemed to acknowledge that the new health care law would simply ration care in a transparent way.
"This is really a fascinating response. Instead of flat out denials of government rationing we have excuses," Roberts said on the Senate floor on May 19.
"And if you read between the lines you will notice that for the first time ever in this debate the Obama White House is admitting that their health care plan will ration health care," the senator said.
Roberts made it clear that he does not accept health care rationing "transparent or otherwise."
"I am opposed to rationing whether it is done by the government or by an insurance company," said Roberts. "I am not defending any of the practices of insurance companies who have unjustly denied claims. But the Obama Administration's response does nothing to address my concerns that our government will ration care. Instead, we finally have an admission from the White House that this is what they plan to do."
In a June 2009 interview in Biotechnology Healthcare, Berwick was asked: "Critics of CER (Comparative Effectiveness Research) have said that it will lead to rationing of health care."
He answered: "We can make a sensible social decision and say, 'Well, at this point, to have access to a particular additional benefit is so expensive that our taxpayers have better use for those funds.' We make those decisio all the tim. The decision is not whether or not we will ration care--the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open."
In the same interview, he also said, "The social budget is limited—we have a limited resource pool. It makes terribly good sense to at least know the price of an added benefit, and at some point we might say nationally, regionally, or locally that we wish we could afford it, but we can't."
Berwick also talked about his romantic view of Britain's socialized health care system on page 213 of a report he wrote entitled, "A Transatlantic Review of the NHS at 60," published on July 26, 2008.
"Cynics beware: I am romantic about the National Health Service; I love it," Berwick wrote. "All I need to do to rediscover the romance is to look at health care in my own country."
In the same article, he wrote, "The NHS is one of the astounding human endeavors of modern times. … It's easier in the United States because we do not promise health care as a human right."
He further wrote, "Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized, and humane must – must – redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and less fortunate."
Roberts said he personally did not understand this romantic view of socialized medicine.
"With cancer survival rates for women 10 percentage points higher in the U.S. than in England, and over 20 points higher for men, why does he think that their government-run system is superior to our system?" said Roberts.
"Limited resources require decisions about who will have access to care and the extent of their coverage," Berwick wrote in the Jan. 27, 1999 edition of Nursing Standard.
"The complexity and cost of healthcare delivery systems may set up a tension between what is good for the society as a whole and what is best for an individual patient," Berwick wrote in an article entitled, "A Shared Statement of Ethical Principle."
"Hence, those working in health care delivery may be faced with situations in which it seems that the best course is to manipulate the flawed system for the benefit of a specific patient or segment of the population, rather than to work to improve the delivery of care for all. Such manipulation produces more flaws, and the downward spiral continues."

Well, if you're not interested in backing up your claims, then don't make them. I'm curious as to what sources you used of the nearly 4 million that came up during the search you suggested.
<<Starting from "scratch" means being deported...and applying from your mother country for immigrant status in the US and then going through all of the hoops to earn citizenship. That is the TRUE "back of the line" reality...but it's NOT what the Dems are referring to when they talk about "path to citizenship.">>
Yes but if we're unable to deport all 12 million illegals now, how would we do it in order to have them start from scratch? And what about the economic repercussions of a mass exodus of millions of people?
Good luck deporting 12 million people. How long do you think that would take? And at what expense?
>>> And free health insurance, really? Who's offering free health insurance?
<<< Proof please.
Again, this is all recent news and well reported...at least on Fox, if not other lame-street media outlets. Google a bit...get informed.>>
And AGAIN, proof please. You claimed that Obama is offering free health insurance for illegals. Back that claim up. If it's been reported as you claim then it should be easy to prove it. I did a search and was unable to find proof of free insurance for illegal immigrants and I even did a search on foxnews.com and did not come across it. Apparently it's not as well reported as you think.

Again, I have insurance through the government, as do those with Medicare, and the government does not control my actual care.
|Sun, 07-11-2010 - 1:20pm
"As I said in another post, supporting healthcare reform doesn't necessarily mean that you supported the actual healthcare bill that passed. "
What system would you support and how would it have fixed the problem? None of the systems propsed addressing the problem of cost containment.
|Sun, 07-11-2010 - 1:22pm
"Yes, I am aware of that. But the person that I replied to implied that you would have no recourse with 'government controlled' healthcare."
In the end you don't. You've mentioned Tricare. If someone believes Tricare failed them and wish to sue, the beneficiary must first ask permission from the government before they can sue the government.
|Sun, 07-11-2010 - 1:29pm
"The insurance companies of course want the same thing but then, they also want a profit. Without a profit, what would be the point of them being in business? "
Coverage and profits are not the same thing. The more things insurance covers, the more profitable insurance companies are since they charge for the treatment + the profit margin together.
|Sun, 07-11-2010 - 2:44pm
"Yes, I am aware of that. But the person that I replied to implied that you would have no recourse with 'government controlled' healthcare."
Nope. Tricare, like Medicare, is government funded but private corporations run it. I am certainly able to sue if all other appeals have been exhausted.

>>> So you don't think that the current private system is inefficient, overly expensive, and unsustainable over time?
Inefficient? No, not to any significant degree.
Overly expensive? Yes, from a consumer's perspective. But then, I also think that cars, TVs and sushi cost too much.
Unsustainable? No. The market will eventually correct any overt problems.

Welcome to the age of the smartbike
The humble bicycle: a means of conveyance that has hardly changed — except for a few tweaks here and there — since its invention. Some might argue that a bike needs no altering. They might even cite the unchanging nature of bicycles as evidence for their opinion. But with half a million bike-related ER visits in the US each year, along with nearly 200,000 bike thefts annually, maybe there's a bit of room for improvement.
The Helios handlebars, now on Kickstarter, are capable of making any bike smart. Armed with a super-bright headlamp, color-changing blinkers and a GPS tracker, these handlebars will make your bike safer — no matter where it is. And those features are just the tip of the pedal-powered iceberg.
Helios handlebars can connect via Bluetooth to your smartphone, allowing you to customize your biking experience. From your phone you can coordinate the colors of your blinkers, have your bike's lights pop on when you approach, and even set a color-changing visual speedometer. When the speedometer is turned on, the twin, rear-facing blinker bulbs shine red when traveling slowly, yellow then green when accelerating, and blue when you hit the neighborhood of 35 MPH.
The same lights, when acting as turn signals, are push-button activated — blinking for five seconds when tapped. And the most basic of features, the headlamp, is a CREE LED bulb which can output 500 lumens, five times the brightness of the average bike light. Helios is still in the works, but you can reserve an advance set of handlebars (in either drop or bullhorn style) over on the project's Kickstarter page for a cool 200 bucks, plus shipping.
