WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Twinkies will live to see another day.
Hostess Brands Inc. and its second largest union agreed on Monday to try to resolve their differences after a bankruptcy court judge noted that the parties hadn't gone through the critical step of private mediation. That means the maker of the spongy cake with the mysterious cream filling won't go out of business yet.
The news comes after the maker of Ho Ho's, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread last week moved to liquidate and sell off its assets in bankruptcy court. Hostess cited a crippling strike started on Nov. 9 by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, which represents about 30 percent of Hostess workers.
"Many people, myself included, have serious questions as to the logic behind this strike," said Judge Robert Drain, who heard the case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York in White Plains, N.Y. "Not to have gone through that step leaves a huge question mark in this case."
The mediation talks are set to take place Tuesday, with the liquidation hearing set to resume on Wednesday if an agreement isn't reached. Jeff Freund, an attorney for the bakers union, said any guess as to how the talks will go would be "purely speculative."
In an interview following the hearing, Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn said that there is enormous financial pressure to come to an agreement with the union by the end of the day Tuesday.
He noted that it's costing Hostess about $1 million a day in payroll costs alone to stay alive, with the money mostly going toward management to unwind the company. About 18,000 workers were sent home Friday after the company shuttered its 33 plants, meaning no sales are being generated.
"We didn't think we had a runway, but the judge just created a 24-hour runway," said Rayburn, who added that even if a contract agreement is reached, it's unclear whether all Hostess plants will get up and running again.
Hostess, weighed down by debt, management turmoil, rising labor costs and the changing tastes of Americans, decided on Friday that it no longer could make it through a conventional Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring. Instead, the company, which is based in Irving, Texas, asked the court for permission to sell its assets and wind down its business.
The company, which is in its second bankruptcy in less than a decade, had said that it was saddled with costs related to its unionized workforce. It brought on Rayburn as a restructuring expert in part to renegotiate its contract with labor unions.
Hostess, which had been contributing $100 million a year in pension costs for workers, offered workers a new contract that would've slashed that to $25 million a year, in addition to wage cuts and a 17 percent reduction in health benefits. The baker's union rejected the offer and decided to strike.
By that time, Hostess had reached a contract agreement with its largest union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which urged the bakers union to hold a secret ballot on whether to continue striking. Although many workers in the bakers union decided to cross picket lines this week, Hostess said it wasn't enough to keep operations at normal levels.
Rayburn said that Hostess was already operating on razor thin margins and that the strike was the final blow. The bakers union said the company's demise was the result of mismanagement, not the strike. It pointed to the steep raises executives were given last year as the company was spiraling down toward bankruptcy.
The company's announcement last week that it would move to liquidate prompted people across the country to rush to stores and stock up on their favorite Hostess treats. Many businesses reported selling out of Twinkies within hours and the spongy cakes turned up for sale online for hundreds of dollars.
Even if Hostess goes out of business, its popular brands will likely find a second life after being snapped up by buyers. The company says several potential buyers have expressed interest in the brands. Although Hostess' sales have been declining in recent years, the company still does about $2.5 billion in business each year. Twinkies along brought in $68 million so far this year.

TICKMAYER, STEVAN: Repetitive selective removal of one protecting group
After a long absence Stevan roars back with this dense and complex work - a rare example of a truly uncategoriseable music: neither electronic nor acoustic but somewhere in between - or outside. Taken often at impossible Nancarrow/late Zappa/Ligeti tempi, a cascade of material constantly forms and reforms into different kinds of order: fragments of New Complexity performed with a kind of rock, dance, jazz undercurrent; shards of popular musics dressed in contemporary classical and electroacoustic clothes; debris from the C20 soundworld train-wrecked together as if all possible musics had been crammed into a bag, smithereened, and then somehow self-regenerated into viable but hybrid mutant forms: a kind of Burgess Shale of emergent musical life. However, alien as some of this music may seem at first hearing, it is coherent, amazingly through-composed and wholly intentional; nothing is arbitrary and every detail counts. Microtonality, polymetricality, slicing, shuffling and extreme processing sit easily alongside atmospherics, performance, and subtle explorations of timbre and acoustic space. Perhaps it is a monster, but it is a viable monster; a form so new that it may take a few listenings just to learn how to listen to it. Order will percolate out, with attention, because it is there. It's just new - but worth the effort I think.

Things were going a little TOO well for Dwyane Wade: Reigning NBA Finals MVP. Reigning SI Sportsman of the Year. In the debate over "Best Player in the NBA." Marketing superstar with his own personal "branding conference" at
The good mojo had to end sometime, and it came to a screeching halt last night when he dislocated his left shoulder. He could be out up to six weeks, but – as with every injury – you never know how it will affect his game.
I remain committed to my original analysis of the Heat and of the East back when it looked like Shaq wouldn't play much during the regular season: As long as
(But, just in case: Do you think that the Heat can pry Vince Carter away from the Nets for, say, promising youngster Dorrell Wright?)
NBA Trade Deadline: Speaking of VC, it shouldn't hurt his trade value that he put in 46 last night in a Nets loss. (Jason Kidd, who it turns out has been playing with cracked ribs, had 6 points on 2/14 FG. Of course, he also had 14 assists and 9 rebounds.)
Meanwhile, I wonder what naysayers of the old "prep-to-pro" draft rules have to say about the fact that the Lakers aren't willing to trade 19-year-old soph Andrew Bynum for future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd.
Again: I'm for trading both Carter and Kidd. The Nets aren't getting any better, and the rebuilding might as well start now. They risk losing Carter this summer (for nothing in return). With Kidd, I don't mind them holding him for now, but only if the inevitable end-game here is that he's shipped out for some sort of value back to the team in time fo rhte move to Brooklyn.The biggest name being thrown around, beyond the pair in

MLB Arbitration Mania! Chad Cordero was a big winner, earning a huge raise from $525K to $4.15M. (It's not like the Nats didn't recognize his value, given that they offered $3.65M. But, given the woeful state of the Nats pitching, Cordero's value can't be diminished.)
Matsuzaka Watch: Here's a great synopsis of the "gyroball."

(However, I'm trying to figure out where the issue is. Is the allegation that the four football recruits somehow sexually assaulted the former UC soccer player, or was it consensual? Is it that they were drinking? Is it that it was videotaped? Because I have to say: Football recruits having sex where drinking was involved is hardly scandalous, unless there's some coercion involved. Have yet to see that here. Let's get the players involved to step forward and talk about it openly.)

Introduction To investigate the predictive value of clinical and biological markers for a pathological complete remission after a preoperative dose-dense regimen of doxorubicin and docetaxel, with or without tamoxifen, in primary operable breast cancer. Methods Patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of previously untreated, operable, and measurable primary breast cancer (tumour (T), nodes (N) and metastases (M) score: T2-3(>= 3 cm) N0-2 M0) were treated in a prospectively randomised trial with four cycles of dose-dense (bi-weekly) doxorubicin and docetaxel (ddAT) chemotherapy, with or without tamoxifen, prior to surgery. Clinical and pathological parameters (menopausal status, clinical tumour size and nodal status, grade, and clinical response after two cycles) and a panel of biomarkers (oestrogen and progesterone receptors, Ki-67, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), p53, bcl-2, all detected by immunohistochemistry) were correlated with the detection of a pathological complete response (pCR). Results A pCR was observed in 9.7% in 248 patients randomised in the study and in 8.6% in the subset of 196 patients with available tumour tissue. Clinically negative axillary lymph nodes, poor tumour differentiation, negative oestrogen receptor status, negative progesterone receptor status, and loss of bcl-2 were significantly predictive for a pCR in a univariate logistic regression model, whereas in a multivariate analysis only the clinical nodal status and hormonal receptor status provided significantly independent information. Backward stepwise logistic regression revealed a response after two cycles, with hormone receptor status and lymph-node status as significant predictors. Patients with a low percentage of cells stained positive for Ki-67 showed a better response when treated with tamoxifen, whereas patients with a high percentage of Ki-67 positive cells did not have an additional benefit when treated with tamoxifen. Tumours overexpressing HER2 showed a similar response to that in HER2-negative patients when treated without tamoxifen, but when HER2-positive tumours were treated with tamoxifen, no pCR was observed. Conclusion Reliable prediction of a pathological complete response after preoperative chemotherapy is not possible with clinical and biological factors routinely determined before start of treatment. The response after two cycles of chemotherapy is a strong but dependent predictor. The only independent factor in this subset of patients was bcl-2. Trial registration number NCT00543829

The holidays can be a stressful time for parents of the six million children in the United States with food allergies. With so many parties and gifts involving food, parents may worry that their children will come into contact with the very allergens they are so vigilant about avoiding year round.
But thanks to research at National Jewish Health in Denver, those fears may not need to last a lifetime. Doctors here are testing an approach to treating food allergies, in which they actually expose children to the foods that usually make them sick.
"The basic premise to our approach, is that we're trying to gradually increase the amount of food patients can tolerate, until they no longer have to fear an allergic reaction," said David Fleischer, MD, a food allergy expert at National Jewish Health. "Right now, there is no treatment for food allergies. The only treatment is to avoid foods, but we are working to change that," he said.
First, patients here are put through a test that was developed at National Jewish Health, known as a "food challenge" in which children are given small portions of certain foods. "We start very slowly," said Dr. Fleischer, "only giving them a gram or two at a time. In doing that, it not only allows us to pinpoint the foods they're allergic to, but it lets us know exactly how much they can tolerate before showing signs of a reaction," he said.
Armed with that knowledge, doctors then send the children home with drops or powders containing proteins from the foods to which they reacted. Then, dose by dose, day after day, children consume those proteins in an effort to retrain their immune system, so they no longer react to the food. "Eventually, some patients develop a tolerance for the very foods they've been avoiding for years," said Dr. Fleischer.
It's known as immunotherapy and early results of this approach are promising. Dr. Fleischer and his colleagues in the Consortium of Food Allergy Research have published findings in the last year showing positive results with egg and peanut allergies. "We know it's a limited number of patients," said Dr. Fleischer, "but we've shown some success with this approach."
One of those who benefited from it, is 13-year old Alex Pritchard. Around the age of one, Alex was diagnosed with severe food allergies. "They tested him for all kinds of things, and he tested positive for all of them," said Alex's mother, Tammy. "He was allergic to beef, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts and milk," she said, "but most disheartening, is that he was allergic to eggs."
"Eggs are in everything," said Pritchard. "From flu shots to meatballs, because you use egg as a binder when you cook and when you bake," she said.
Because of that, Alex spent the first few years of his life avoiding a variety of foods. But when he went to National Jewish Health for treatment, eggs were one of the first items on the menu.
"Here's a boy who was egg allergic, and he's now able to eat as much eggs as he wants," said Dr. Fleischer. "It took a while to get him to that point, but his life has completely changed, to the point where he doesn't have to worry about that allergen anymore," he said.
"It's unbelievable," said Pritchard. "The first egg he ever had was at National Jewish Health. Today, he eats plates full of eggs. He loves them."
While the results are encouraging, Fleischer cautions that they are preliminary. "We've only been doing this for a few years now," he said, "and we don't have a lot of patients who've gone through it. We need a lot more patients, in larger clinical trials to really begin to make a difference with food allergies."
"Also, it's extremely important for patients and their parents to remember that, under no circumstances whatsoever, should they try this at home," said Dr. Fleischer. "We are dealing with food allergens that can be very dangerous, so this should only be done by experts at a medical facility."
"We were glad Alex was tested in a controlled environment," said Pritchard. "We felt confident and very safe."
Today, Alex is not only eating foods that contain egg, but he recently sat down to a plate full of scrambled eggs in his Denver area home, trying to contain a smile with each bite he took. "Delicious," he said.
"I'm so glad we did this," said his mother, Tammy. "Kids and adults are going to be exposed to allergens all the time, and if they can learn to tolerate them, that's what it's all about. I mean, you can't lock yourself away in a little bubble and refuse to enjoy life."
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. Since 1998, U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish Health the number one respiratory hospital in the nation.

Replacement Cost vs. Market Value: What's the Difference?
When you purchase a home and start thinking about protecting your investment, this is often the first question. The answer is often: More than you just paid for it, Buckel says.
See also: How Much Does Homeowners Insurance Cost?
"People naturally gravitate to how much they paid for the house, but we're not insuring it to buy it from you – we're insuring it to rebuild it in case something happens," Buckel says. "The question you need to be asking is, 'How much would it cost if a builder needs to rebuild it?"
This is why replacement cost is often more than market value for your home, or even what you might be able to sell it for.
Figuring out rebuilding costs can be elusive, as a range of factors contribute to what that actual cost might be. Guaranteed replacement cost takes the guesswork out, assuring that you're covered – even if you need to rebuild your entire home1.
What are Loss Settlement Options in Homeowners Insurance?
Guaranteed replacement cost is one of a range of choices – called "loss settlement options" in the business – which insurance companies offer to homeowners.
Common loss settlement options include:
- Replacement cost
- Extended replacement cost
- Actual cash value
- Guaranteed replacement cost
Each one works a little bit differently. Different insurance companies offer different things, too. (For example: ERIE does not offer actual cash value loss settlement for the dwelling on your primary home – it's only available for secondary homes and contents. You'll learn more about actual cash value below.)
Here's a breakdown of some of those key differences:
Replacement Cost vs. Guaranteed Replacement Cost
That one word – guaranteed – makes a big difference if you're facing a total loss of your home. Here's what makes replacement cost different from guaranteed replacement cost.
- What is replacement cost? When you're issued a policy with just replacement cost, the insurance company works with you to project how much it would likely cost to fully replace your home. You can see the replacement cost and the specific limit for your policy on your declarations page. Replacement cost is provided up to the limit shown on the declarations page.
- What to expect with replacement cost: The replacement cost amount usually gets increased annually – normally by 2 to 5%each year, depending on your area. In periods of high inflation, the increase could be much higher.
Here's the big difference: If your home is destroyed and a builder actually estimates that the cost to rebuild is more than that replacement cost figure… then you, as the homeowner, are responsible to make up the difference. That's why it's important as a homeowner to make sure you know and are comfortable with how much your home is insured for.
- Here's an example: If your home is insured at a replacement cost of $200,000, and in reality it is going to cost $250,000 to rebuild, then you either need to come up with an additional $50,000 or find ways to reduce costs… which could result in a smaller, less-appointed house than you originally had.
The premium amount you pay for replacement cost compared to guaranteed replacement cost is typically about the same, although some factors unique to your situation may make one or the other more expensive.
Extended Replacement Cost vs. Guaranteed Replacement Cost
Think of extended replacement cost like a predetermined amount of cash you can dip into in case the cost to rebuild runs high. Still, it's not the same as guaranteed replacement cost. Here's how it works:
- What is extended replacement cost? With extended replacement cost, your insurance company assures that a financial cushion exists in the event that cost of rebuilding is more than the estimated replacement cost.
- What to expect with extended replacement cost: Specifically with Erie Insurance, that cushion is 25 percent above the dwelling amount, as shown on your declarations page.
While 25 percent may seem like a lot, there are often circumstances that cause costs to soar well beyond that.
See also: How Named Storms Affect Your Insurance Coverage
"When a hurricane or tornado does a lot of damage in a specific area, the cost to rebuild skyrockets," Buckel says. "Everyone is trying to rebuild, and the cost of lumber, labor and building supplies all go up. If you don't have the right coverage, you are not going to have nearly enough to rebuild."
- Here's an example: For a home insured at $300,000, extended replacement cost would give you an extra $75,000 to work with. Yet again, if costs go beyond that extra $75,000… you are on the hook to make up the difference, or rebuild a smaller home.
Premium costs for extended replacement cost are generally comparable to guaranteed replacement cost, although some factors unique to your situation may make one or the other more expensive.
Actual Cash Value vs. Guaranteed Replacement Cost
In simple terms, actual cash value is basic coverage. While there's no doubt that actual cash value is typically your least expensive option, there is also truth in the old saying, you get what you pay for.
- What is actual cash value? With actual cash value, you get coverage for a pre-determined set amount to rebuild your home after a covered loss… and no more. Compared to guaranteed replacement cost, actual cash value often offers the least attractive option as you will likely be required to pay out-of-pocket costs if you aim to restore your home to its previous design and condition.
- What to expect with actual cash value: Some policies also factor in depreciation of things such as an aging roof – so you may end up with even less than the policy states.
See also: Do You Have The Right Coverage For Your Roof?
As we mentioned above: ERIE does not offer actual cash value loss settlement for the dwelling on your primary home – it's only available for secondary homes and contents.
Ask a Local ERIE Agent About Guaranteed Replacement Cost
Of course, the ideal scenario is that you will never need to use guaranteed replacement cost coverage. Yet, if you do need it, you can rest assured that guaranteed replacement cost coverage will provide the money necessary to rebuild without requiring you to shell out additional cash.
"If it's a covered loss and costs run high, we will pay whatever the difference is," Buckel says. "It's on us, not you."
Good news for ERIE customers: Guaranteed replacement cost is included in our base ErieSecure Home® policy, a feature that will cost you extra with most insurers2.
Upgrading your homeowners insurance to include guaranteed replacement cost is simple1. Just contact your local ERIE agent to make it happen.
1Guaranteed Replacement Cost applies to dwelling and requires home improvements over $5,000 to be reported within 90 days – not available with all policies and in all states. Coverage of costs to comply with laws or ordinances is subject to limits. Depreciation will be deducted until repair or replacement is made. Talk to your local ERIE agent for more information.
2The information in this blog is a summary and does not include all coverages and benefits available through an ErieSecure Home® policy or apply to all states. Coverage, benefits, limits and deductibles will vary. Conditions, exclusions and limitations will apply. Refer to our disclaimer for more information. Talk to your local ERIE agent for state specific policy information.
There are few things in life worse than losing your home to fire or a natural disaster.
Except, that is, discovering in the aftermath that you don't have enough homeowners insurance coverage to rebuild the house back to the way it was before trouble struck.
If you get guaranteed replacement cost coverage, that is unlikely to happen. Why? Because guaranteed replacement cost will pay for the full cost of rebuilding your house back to its previous size and specifications1 – right down to the granite countertops, custom bookshelves, and gleaming hardwood floors that you so love.
"Guaranteed replacement cost gives you peace of mind," says Bob Buckel, vice president and product manager at Erie Insurance. "The reality is that it's almost impossible to estimate to the penny what it's going to cost to rebuild a home. We take that worry away from you."
With the everchanging price of building materials and labor, it's easy to see why GRC is the gold standard for homeowners insurance.
Keep in mind that guaranteed replacement cost isn't available in all states. In North Carolina, ask about Enhanced Replacement Cost. For specific questions or a personalized estimate for your home, talk to your local insurance professional Erie Insurance agent.

VIDEO: Obama Sings In Harlem; Channels A Little Al Green
Perhaps if things don't work out the way he hopes on Nov. 6, President Obama can be a backup singer someday.
Last night at a campaign fundraiser in Harlem's Apollo Theater, he briefly broke into song with a bit of Al Green's Let's Stay Together. The Associated Press has the video here.
Presidents from both major parties have displayed their musical talents in the past, of course.
Republican Richard Nixon apparently played the accordian occasionally and not only tickled the ivories but also composed a piano concerto. Democrat Bill Clinton plays the saxophone, and famously broke it out during the 1992 presidential campaign on The Arsenio Hall Show.
Democrat Harry Truman loved the piano "and he often said that if he had been a good pianist he never would have become president," according to the Harry S. Truman Library & Museum. A picture of actress Lauren Bacall sitting atop a piano as Truman played created something of a stir.
Going way back, Thomas Jefferson was a violinist.
As for President Obama, what do you think?

Unless you've been hiding under a burger bun for the past week, you've probably heard the story about the lab-grown burger. The test-tube piece of meat took three months and cost more than $300,000 to grow, but its makers hope the experiment might help feed the world someday.
It's Morgaine Gaye's job to think about what we'll be eating in the future. She's a food futurologist, and she joins me now from our London bureau and she joins me now from our London bureau. Welcome.
DR. MORGAINE GAYE: Hello there.
HEADLEE: Well, it's hard to imagine anyone is going to be eating a $300,000 burger anytime soon. But is lab grown meat part of our future?
GAYE: I think it is. I think we only have to look back to the 1970s, for example, when TVP was something that was considered to be in an edible sort...
HEADLEE: I'm sorry, what's TVP?
GAYE: Textured vegetable protein. Most people don't know what it is because nobody really ate it. But it was the alternative to meat back then. So like the soya proteins that we see today - tofu, tempehs - and I think that the lab-grown meat is another solution to that question of can we eat something that tastes like meat without hurting/harming animals or creating environmental issues.
What's really interesting right now is that we've been in a time of constriction. Food prices are going to go up - they are going up - meat prices are set to double in the next five years, and it will change our relationship to waste and to food. And I think meat is going to become much more of a luxury item. And in that way we're going to start seeing it in different ways. So, it's the kind of the bacon, the sweet bacon things, the treats - meat as a treat - I think we're going see that coming.
HEADLEE: One of the other things that's just coming up recently is the idea of insects as food. And, in fact, you can actually do searches on the Internet and find restaurants that feature either ground-up insects or insects whole.
HEADLEE: Could we be seeing more and more insects creeping into our food?
GAYE: It's already quite popular in a few European countries, especially the Netherlands where they're, year on year, growing and selling many more insects. But also, there are countries like Australia where they've decided to call locusts flying prawns or flying shrimp, and they found that people eat them much more readily if they have a different name. But also, ground-up grasshoppers ground into bars such as muesli bars with fruits and nuts, using a cricket flower. People actually don't know it's insects at all.
So, I think when we grind them up and we make insect patties - mixed with vegetables and onions - people don't really know any different.
HEADLEE: Have you eaten them?
GAYE: I have eaten them. Actually pretty good and they all taste quite differently; some are quite cheesy, others are a bit like lemon, and some are sort of nutty. And I think that's it really is just about the way we're socialized around animals and insects where we think, ew, creepy crawlies or bugs or they're dirty. But the way in which they're bred is actually incredibly hygienic. They love to be bred in captivity in small spaces.
HEADLEE: Tell me what's the gateway insect? What's the insect that you recommend to an amateur insect-eater to try first?
GAYE: Ooh, that's a difficult one. Mealworms are very cheap.
HEADLEE: Really?
HEADLEE: Really?
GAYE: They're cheap. You get them from a pet store. They deep fry quite easily. I don't know if people are more are repelled by something that looks like a worm or a maggot, or something that actually has legs and wings...
HEADLEE: I'm going to do with a maggot, Morgaine.
GAYE: You're going with the maggot?
HEADLEE: Yeah.
GAYE: Hmm, because there are also some larvae from I think it's a moth and that looks a little bit like a cocoon. And they're great - they're super crunchy and in there a bit cheesy. I would keep away from the giant ants 'cause they burn your throat.
GAYE: And I don't like those at all.
HEADLEE: What other kind of things, food-wise, are coming in our future?
GAYE: Texture is one of the unexplored areas in food. We've been in flavor for a very long time looking at, for example, salts and savory and sweet becoming combined together. And I think that we're going to start looking at texture and how texture is going to affect mouth feel.
HEADLEE: What do you mean? Tell me what's a well-textured food?
GAYE: Well, not necessarily about well-texture but an unexpected textures. For example, one of the things I developed recently was a non-drip ice cream.
HEADLEE: How do you get it to not drip?
GAYE: I can't possibly tell you.
GAYE: But it's great for places like Australia we're talking about temperatures of 40-plus degrees, you know, 90 degrees upwards. And it's hard to have an ice cream because straight away it's down your arm and your elbow. So things like that, that eating ice cream with a knife and fork, we don't expect to do that. We don't expect solid things in a creamy form. Or vice-a-versa: more crunch, different mouth feels.
We know that texture is one of the things that repels most people from food. So there's a big place to go in unusual textures. We're already seeing these unusual textured spoons coming in, where it affects what you feel about the food because the spoon itself is textured.
HEADLEE: All right, not only eating bugs and lab-grown meat but we're eating with a bumpy spoon.
Morgaine Gaye joined us from our London bureau. Thank you so much.
GAYE: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
