Relief will be welcome. ...On the Net: http://www.miamiherald.com/Jan. 21The Jerusalem Post, on Hamas:Yesterday, External Relations European Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said: "I condemn the rocket fire into Israel and we fully understand Israel's need to defend its citizens." But she also accused Israel of causing "blackouts in parts of Gaza, affecting both homes and hospitals. Closing the crossings will also result in shortages of food, medical and relief items. ...

Twinkies maker Interstate Bakeries submits amended reorganization plan
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Interstate Bakeries Corp., the maker of Hostess Twinkies and Wonder Bread, has submitted a revised reorganization plan that pays unsecured creditors about 30 percent of what they're owed and gives shareholders nothing. Secured creditors and the company's lenders will receive the full value of their claims through the issuance of new stock, Interstate Bakeries said in bankruptcy court documents filed late Friday and disclosed in a securities filing Monday.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Jerry Venters is scheduled to consider the company's plan during a hearing Tuesday and decide whether to allow the company to begin seeking creditor approval. The plan calls for specialist lender Silver Point Finance LLC to provide $400 million in post-bankruptcy funding.
