Col. John Alexander Plants UFO Doubts in New Book: Exclusive Interview

UFO believers have linked retired Army Col. John Alexander to everything from military abductions to mind control. Now, Alexander, who served as a Green Beret in Vietnam, tells the story of the Advanced Theoretical Physics Group, an informal band of government officials who took it upon themselves to find out whether there was a secret federal UFO project.

UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities (Thomas Dunne Books, St. Martin's Press) is likely to infuriate both believers and skeptics. Alexander says there was, in the end, no government conspiracy to cover up reports on UFOs, but he also insists that enough credible UFO sightings have been documented to warrant a closer look. Alexander spoke to Popular Mechanics about his new book.

Oh py, that is terrible news for all of the workers, even tho' I don't eat Twinkies nor cupcakes with a surprise inside.

I think your source may have over reported the number of jobs lost, I found only the following on the 'Net. I sure don't know, but I can't imagine it is 18,000!

Hostess Brands, Inc.

7:49 p.m. EDT, May 9, 2012

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Hostess Brands Inc. has notified the Indiana Department of Workforce Development it might close plants in 21 cities and lay off more than 850 employees working in bakeries, retail outlets or distributing Wonder bread, Twinkies and other goods. A Hostess facility on State Road 2 in South Bend employs 25.

The Indianapolis Star and the Indianapolis Business Journal reported Wednesday the Texas-based company says the job losses could occur within 60 days of the May 4 notice if it doesn't find a buyer or emerge from bankruptcy.

It has five locations in Indianapolis with 340 workers and three in Columbus with 237 workers. Others are in Anderson, Bloomington, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Greenwood, Hobart, Jeffersonville, Kokomo, Lafayette, Madison, Merrillville, Michigan City, Munster, Rushville, Scottsburg, Terre Haute, Versailles and Merrillville.

Hostess' other brands include Nature's Pride and Dolly Madison.

Hostess Brands Inc. on Friday sent out letters notifying its more-than 18,000 workers that they could be laid off in the next two months.

The maker of Twinkies and Wonder Bread on Friday mailed out WARN Act notices to all of its employees, a Hostess spokeswoman confirmed to Bankruptcy Beat Monday. The federal WARN Act requires companies to give employees 60 days notice before closing a facility or ordering mass layoffs. However, sending the notices doesn’t mean a company is definitely going to lay off the recipients.
“The conditional WARN notices were sent to alert employees that a sale or wind down of the company is possible in the future. There are no immediate actions being taken,” spokeswoman Anita-Marie Laurie said Monday in an emailed statement. “Our goal is to emerge from bankruptcy as a growing company with a strong future—one that continues to provide good jobs with competitive wages and benefits.”
Hostess’s future remains uncertain, largely dependent upon the outcome of negotiations with its two big unions over the fate of their labor agreements as well as upon its search for new capital. Investors are to submit second-round bids for the business this week, Hostess attorney Corinne Ball told the bankruptcy court last month.
Another question mark comes in the form of a threat by the Teamsters, Hostess’s biggest union, to strike if the company wins court approval to reject their labor contracts. The Teamsters members drive the trucks that deliver the company’s baked goods to store shelves. The union and Hostess’s chief executive agree that a Teamsters strike would shut down the company.
The Teamsters on Friday told its local unions that it remains “ready, willing and able to negotiate” consensual labor changes but vowed not to “let the company force a poorly defined or inequitable turnaround plan on its employees that, despite our concessions, is destined to put Hostess out of business once and for all.”
A ruling on whether Hostess can reject its labor agreements with the Teamsters hasn’t come down yet. However, a bankruptcy judge on Friday authorized the company to reject 35 such agreements with its second-largest union, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union. Both Hostess and BCTGM President Frank Hurt said the company won’t necessarily reject the agreements now but will instead continue trying to reach a consensus.
Together, the Teamsters and BCTGM represent 14,101 of Hostess’s 18,400 active workers.

Same-sex marriage is sure in the news big time. I happen to not care whatever they do or how they do it

, but I think "marriage" is the wrong name for it. The people who want a legal binding arrangement should be allowed to have it, but call it something else and leave "marriage" to one man and one woman.

Why should anyone be denied the fabulous joys of divorce (legal dissolution) and dividing up property and spousal support and if there are any unfortunate children, the hassle of who deserves custody, etc. etc. etc.!

Just my two cents worth. I may get shot or something regarding my opinion on this major issue, but I'm braving it.

the Wall Street Journal says they might get fired...the article i read this AM said it was a definite thing...i cant find the early article...it was a short blurb kinda thing

i think a marriage should be private and the state should get out of the marriage business.....i also think people should enter into a legal contract with anyone they want...

Wow. I guess I am major, completely, naive and wrong! Holy, toledo! That makes it even worse! It is a much more vast outfit than I imagined.

The union strikes again it looks like to me. I don't know the issues of course, but I'd think the union members would rather be employed than stick to their guns and let the corporation go bankrupt.
