Excerpt:

"Hostess Brands Inc. and its second largest union will go into mediation to try and resolve their differences, meaning the Irving, Texas-based company won't go out of business just yet. The news came Monday after Hostess moved to liquidate and sell off its assets in bankruptcy court citing a crippling strike last week." This follows Friday's big news, of course: "No More Twinkies? Hostess Brands Is Shutting Down." We'll watch for more developments.

Excerpt:

Google has held talks with satellite-TV supplier Dish Network in recent weeks to partner on a brand-new wireless service that would equal the networks of wireless carriers such as AT&T and Verizon Wireless, according to people familiar with the discussions. The talks between Dish and Google aren't advanced and could possibly total up to absolutely nothing, among the people said. Google is simply among a number of companies that Dish has held talks with just recently, and the discussions with other potential partners are also at an exploratory stage, said the people familiar with the discussions. It is vague which other companies are talking about a potential collaboration with Dish. A Google spokeswoman declined to comment.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

In a posting on the website, the company said the consolidation will take place by Dec. 31. New York-based Systemax purchased Circuit City's intellectual property assets in 2009 for $14 million. In October, its board decided the company's future consumer business would be optimized by consolidating the websites. The news was first reported Thursday by the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Richmond, Va. -based Circuit City filed for bankruptcy in November 2008 and closed its last stores in March 2009. Systemax also had purchased electronics retailer CompUSA's intellectual property when it closed in 2008. It manufactures and sells consumer electronics online, by direct mail and in retail stores.
