Start the countdown! Twinkies return to shelves July 15. Chris Isidore @CNNMoney.

Will they taste the same???

                                Note new Twinkies bos.  Ding Dongs box is an image from Bing.  I don't know if             that box is changing.

Good news Twinkies fans, your beloved snack is due back on shelves on July 15.

The announcement was made by Daren Metropoulos, principal of Metropoulos & Co., one of the two companies that bought the rights to Twinkies and other snack brands from the bankrupt Hostess Brands earlier this year.

The new Twinkies box will look very similar to the old one, with the addition of the line "The sweetest comeback in the history of ever." The price will stay the same as last fall when Hostess shut down - $3.99 for a box of 10. Other products will also come back with the same pricing.

"America wanted Hostess back -- they wanted the original," said Metropoulos.

The new company will sell all of the Hostess and Dolly Madison branded snack products, including CupCakes, Donettes, Zingers, Ho Hos, Ding Dongs, fruit pies and mini muffins. Some products, such as Sno Balls, will take a little longer to return to shelves, but they should be available within the next few months.

Other Hostess brands, including Wonder Bread and Drake's snack cakes, have been sold to other firms. Details of their return have yet to be announced.

Wonder Bread, Twinkies and other Hostess products have not been produced since November, when Hostess Brands Inc. filed with the bankruptcy court to liquidate its 82-year old business following a crippling strike by the Bakery Workers union.

But while that company is out of business, and most of its 18,500 employees have lost their jobs, a bankruptcy court has been overseeing an auction of its various brands as part of the liquidation process.

The new snack company, Hostess Brands LLC, was purchased for $410 million by private equity groups Apollo Group (APOL) and Metropoulos & Co. It also bought five of the closed bakeries as part of their bid. It will produce the products out of four of the bakeries -- in Columbus, Ga., Emporia, Kansas, Indianapolis and the Chicago suburb of Schiller Park, Ill. It plans to have about 1,800 employees making the snacks within the next three months.

Metropoulos' other food holdings include Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. In the past it has owned Chef Boyardee canned pasta, Bumble Bee seafood, PAM cooking spray and Gulden's Mustard, all of which it eventually sold to ConAgra Foods Inc (CAG, Fortune 500).

LDS missionaries to begin using social media. Sam Penrod. KSL.com

SALT LAKE CITY — Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced in a special broadcast Sunday that missionaries will soon start using the Internet and digital tablets more than the traditional method of knocking on doors to find potential converts to their faith.

The 70,000 LDS missionaries across the world will soon start using the Internet and social media to find investigators of their faith. This will take precedence over traditional tracting — walking through a neighborhood and knocking on doors of non-member's homes. They will also spend a portion of their time in LDS chapels, giving tours and answering questions from people who may be interested in their faith.

"There will continually be improvements in the way we perform missionary work," said Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Missionaries will use Facebook, blogs, email and Mormon.org to track interested parties and answer questions.

"The Church must adapt to a changing world," Elder L. Tom Perry, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said.

Missionaries serving within designated missions will begin using the Internet and digital devices like the iPad in phases this year. The church anticipated the tools being available world-wide sometime next year.

Missionaries by the numbers

58,500 missionaries serving in Oct. 2012

+70,000 missionaries currently serving

85,000 missionaries expected to serve at the end of the year

14,650 female missionaries are serving — about 20% of missionaries

408 missions will be open by July

It's a change that Latter-day Saints believe will ultimately reach more people who are not of their faith.

"People who may not be as open to the missionaries — someone they don't know — knocking on their door, they will be a lot more open to a friend on Facebook or someone they have a connection to," said member Kalin Orgill.

The announcement comes as the church's missionary force is expanding: The church expects 85,000 full-time missionaries in the fall and 58 new missions will open around the world next week.

While the church is sending more young men and young women on missions, leaders encouraged local members to work with the missionaries in their own communities.

"Until you know a person's name and face, the Lord cannot help you to know his or her heart... Good leaders, like good parents, take actions because of love," Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said in the Brigham Young University broadcast. "When they act in love, the spirit will guide them and help them to understand that each person requires unique care for them to gain the joy of life lived in the Lord's way."

President Thomas S. Monson told members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a worldwide message following the original broadcast that they have a duty to assist in the church's missionary program.

Adam talked to the hiker's father. . . . . .They found the body of the hiker last night

Adam said the hiker's father told him his son was the same height and build as Adam.  Adam said he helped find the hiker because he told them there were 15 to 20 people on the trail when he was and so then they asked people to come forward who were hiking that morning.  One of the hikers told them about the hiker and then they found him.

PROVO — Search and rescue crews descended Y Mountain just after 9 p.m. Wednesday to inform family members they had located the body of a BYU student missing since Saturday.

They didn't offer specific information about what happened to 22-year-old Tyler Mayle, but said his body was found near the base of a sheer, 60-foot cliff near Eagle Pass, a significant distance off the Y trail.

It appears the student was trying to climb the cliff in an area where officers are called regularly to help climbers who have fallen, Provo Police Lt. Mathew Siufanua said.

Adam is home didn't find Y Hiker

The missing Hiker didn't get on the trail until 11:00 a.m. and Adam was home at 12:00 noon.
Search and rescue people don't think Adam talked to the missing hiker.

But Adam did explain that there were lots of people on the trail behind the Y.  They
seemed to think as the trail is closed, no one used it and Adam said it was full Saturday
morning.

Adam thinks he talked to missing Y Hiker on Saturday

   Adam hiked to the top of the Y mountain, took several photos and has
                      been trying to make a panoramic photo.  He called this morning 4 days later
                       to tell me he has looked at photos of the missing man on Y Mountain and
                     thinks he talked to him.

                               Adam is on his way to the trail to meet with searchers to show his
                     photos and where he saw him.

The family of a missing hiker asked friends to please come forward if they knew where their son may have been hiking Saturday.

Gary and Lori Mayle held a news conference Tuesday night following a full day of searching the hills and canyons around Y Mountain for 22-year-old Tyler Mayle, a BYU student from Ranger, Colo.

"Tyler is very strong, he does things his way," Gary Mayle said. Mayle said the last time he talked to his son was two weeks ago when he was home for a week visiting and having fun with the family.

"Not knowing how he is is the biggest stress," Gary Mayle said. "He loves the mountains and likes wildlife. He has hiked Y mountain several times."

Dozens of searchers spent all day Tuesday in the Y Mountain area searching for Tyler Mayle, who went hiking on Saturday and did not return home. His family called police on Tuesday morning.

Gary Mayle also said that his son had discovered some new places on the mountain and was interested in doing some exploring in those areas. They just don't know how far back into the mountains he would go.

"We just want to find our son," Lori Mayle said. "Please pray for Tyler. We need to get Tyler back home."

From nearly the moment his family heard the news they began receiving calls of support. "We've had tremendous support," Gary Mayle said.

It was less than two hours after they called 911 that his car was found at the upper parking lot at the Y Mountain trailhead.

Tyler Mayle was carrying a pack that included water but that may be gone and dehydration can set in faster on these warm days.

Searchers did not find Tyler on Tuesday, but they did run into a bear. No one was injured and the bear was scared away with a helicopter. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources employees remained on the scene to keep track of the bear and keep searchers safe. According to Capt. Dean York with the Provo Fire Department, the search began just before 10 a.m. Tuesday. York said Tyler Mayle left to go hiking at about 11:30 a.m. Saturday and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Tyler Mayle's roommate Daniel Blake said he saw Mayle leave Saturday morning, but didn't speak to him before he left. Blake also said he and his other roommates noticed that Mayle wasn't home Sunday morning but he hadn't said anything to any of them and they thought he had gone on vacation without telling them.

Provo Search and Rescue crews are searching just above the "Y" and have two separate crews searching from the top of the mountain down and the bottom of the mountain up. Mayle was supposed to be going to Eagle Pass near the "Y" and rescuers are concentrating their search in that area. They are using an AirMed helicopter to help shuttle rescuers to the top of the mountain but said the chopper isn't actually being used to search right now. York said they are not in need of volunteer searchers at this time but that the Y trail has been closed off to the public while the search is ongoing.

"Their search is much easier to do at night when they can use infrared cameras," York said. "Unless someone is just waving at them it is much easier for them to see people at night."

The search will resume at 6 a.m. Wednesday.
