Armstrong Said to Consider Admitting to Drug Use
Cyclist Lance Armstrong considers publicly admitting that he used banned performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career, according to a report.
Armstrong may do this because he wants to persuade antidoping officials to restore his eligibility so he can resume his athletic career, the New York Times has explained.
The paper has reminded that Armstrong has been under pressure from various fronts to confess.
Wealthy supporters of Livestrong, the charity he founded after surviving testicular cancer, have been trying to persuade him to come forward so he could clear his conscience and save the organization from further damage, a source has told the New York Times.
When asked if Armstrong might admit to doping, Tim Herman, Armstrong's longtime lawyer, said, "Lance has to speak for himself on that."

11:29pm: Group of artists past their prime perform tribute piece to New Orleans. People in audience seem impressed by the number of singers out-whoaaa-ohh-ohhing each other.
The end. Whoo, that was hard work.
Seriously though, here's the biggest questions on my mind:
1. What is Kanye really thinking?
2. How does U2 win for Best Album of the Year? For real? Oh, yeah. Most of the people who vote don't actually listen to everything on the nominations list.
3. If Destiny's Child broke up, why do they still wear similar outfits?
4. Green Day is iconic and all, but who says they shoulda won Song of the Year over Kanye, Mariah or even Gwen Stefani? Outrage!
5. Did Sly Stone actually do anything when he came on stage for the end of that 5 hour tribute performance? Is it still happening? I like how he just left and then all the artists kind of stood around dancing and humming for 2 more minutes.
6.. You go, John Legend. Cute little thing. I remember when he was but a wee lad 2.5 years ago, playing keyboard at Kanye's MMVA performance and nobody knew who he was.
Hey, and remember that time U2 won for Record of the Year (different category than mentioned above but still – REALLY?) and they played Mariah over the loud speakers? That was hilarious.

JOHOR BARU: A car salesman involved with an illegal diesel smuggling syndicate was assaulted by three men who demanded RM125,000 from him.
The 33-year-old and his girlfriend were in a hotel room here when the three men met them at around 9am on Saturday.
"They demanded the money from the man for the transaction of some 1.6 million litres of diesel," said Johor Baru South OCPD Asst Comm Sulaiman Salleh.
"While in the hotel room, the salesman was punched and hit several times on his face and body as he could only produce RM21,000," he said.
He added that the girlfriend was unharmed in the scuffle.
ACP Sulaiman said the salesman admitted to being involved in an illegal diesel dealing with the three men.
The men had been demanding payment for the transaction although the transferring activity was intercepted by the authorities in Sungai Rengit, Pengerang.
Initially, the salesman handed over the payment for the diesel to his partner who was to pay the three men.
"However, his partner has since disappeared with the money," said ACP Sulaiman.
"We arrested the three assailants and recovered RM15,000 from them," he said.
ACP Sulaiman urged those with additional information on the case to come forward to assist with the investigations.
They can contact the police hotline at 07-2212 999 or get in touch with the nearest police station.

Embattled Pinnacle Airlines gives CEO Menke 60% pay raise
Send this to a friend
- Staff Memphis Business Journal
Pinnacle Airlines Corp. has been struggling through financial stress, but two of the company's top executives are being rewarded with higher salaries.
Pinnacle (Nasdaq: PNCL) CEO Sean Menke is getting a nearly 60 percent pay increase, from $425,000 to $675,000, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive vice president John Spanjers will see his pay lifted from $275,000 to $400,000, a 45 percent increase.
The executives have shouldered heavier-than-anticipated loads thanks to the company's financial restructuring. The airline has made moves to stave off bankruptcy, including refinancing debt, renegotiating contracts with partner airlines and making moves to combine its flying subsidiaries. Its stock value has plummeted, losing 370 percent of its value in the last year.
Also contributing to Menke and Spanjers' expanded duties is the abrupt departure of CFO Ted Christie, who announced March 5 he was leaving the company after less than a year to become CFO of Spirit Airlines.
The SEC filing did point out that any annual bonuses would be calculated on the lower base salary scale.

Bing Is Down (Now Back After 30 Minutes)
If you try to go to Microsoft's search engine, Bing, you may be out of luck. It seems to be currently down and out.
A quick search on Twitter confirms that Bing is down for everyone.
Update: Bing at 10:11pm (EST) tweeted that they are back up and they are indeed correct.
Postscript #2: The Bing blog explained the reason for the outage:
Bing.com was down between about 6:30 and 7:00 PM Pacific Time on Dec 3, 2009. During this time, users were either unable to get to the site, or their queries were returning incomplete results page.
The cause of the outage was a configuration change during some internal testing that had unfortunate and unintended consequences.
As soon as the issue was detected, the change was rolled back, which caused the site to return to normal behavior. Unfortunately the detection and rollback took about half an hour, and during that time users were unable to use bing.com.
We strive to maintain a high standard of operational excellence at Bing. We are running a post mortem to find out how our software and processes need to be improved to prevent anything like this from happening again.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 2010 NRF CONFERENCE -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced today that MarineMax, (NYSE: HZO), the largest recreational boat retailer in the United States, is using IBM business analytics to streamline operational planning, improve decision-making, and enforce more consistent, collaborative information access across the company. Since implementing the solutions, the retailer has been able to cut inventory costs, improve return on marketing spending, and reduce overall planning cycles from months to just a few weeks, among other benefits.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO)
Over the past decade, MarineMax has experienced tremendous growth. Today, the company can be found in 55 locations across the United States, with a multi-channel retail model that includes showrooms, catalogs, a call center and a full-service online presence. With this expansion came the need for stronger, more collaborative information management across the enterprise. Previously, critical data was trapped in many disparate spreadsheets and systems, making it very difficult for business leaders and frontline employees to access and share information on sales, costs and inventory.
With IBM business analytics software in place, MarineMax has benefited from significant operational efficiencies across all levels of the company. Store managers now capitalize on self-service reporting and faster access to their store performance, helping them make better decisions about their merchandising and promotions. Finance is able to enforce a more consistent company-wide budgeting process to ensure forecast accuracy, and can focus on long-term planning and strategic performance analysis. Additionally, senior executives gain a holistic, real-time view of historical, current and projected enterprise performance to ensure company objectives are always on target.
A more efficient budgeting, forecasting and analysis process was, in fact, the primary driver for the new IBM system. Prior solutions were unstable and lacked key functionality such as re-forecasting, and "what if" scenario modeling to determine the impact of business decisions. With IBM, operational units across MarineMax can now easily work together from the same numbers to build integrated budgets and plans - a process that today only takes weeks instead of months - and evaluate performance against plans.
These new-found forecasting efficiencies were especially critical in the area of demand planning. Generally, global retailers experience lead times as long as 6 to 10 months, forcing them to make substantial bets on inventory, consumer trends and economic conditions. This challenge is magnified in the world of retail boating, where inaccurate commitment planning of luxury boats can inflate inventory costs. Using IBM business analytics, MarineMax can tap into multiple years of sales history, enabling managers to better understand customer demand trends and more confidently establish future commitments, adjusting forecasts throughout the year based on sales activities.
Similar efficiencies have been experienced in the Marketing department. MarineMax participates in hundreds of key marketing and sales events every year, such as boat shows, which require considerable labor and material resources to run effectively. IBM analytics provides marketing executives stronger visibility into the true cost and return on investment of each event. By easily identifying top and bottom performing events, MarineMax can focus efforts only on those events that drive greater returns, and has reduced their annual marketing costs significantly while still maintaining industry leading market share.
IBM also underpins the company's Management By Objectives (MBO) program for employee performance, which helps employees clearly understand corporate objectives and identify their individual or team responsibilities. Using IBM technology, store managers can establish individual goals, monitor team member performance, take corrective measures when necessary, then roll information up to the store, region and company levels to quickly determine the impact on payroll.
"IBM business analytics and performance management is helping us achieve a smarter and more efficient operational model," said Jeremy Wilson, Vice President of Information Technology at MarineMax. "The company is now better able to strengthen collaboration between finance, human resources, marketing, and store operations, ensuring MarineMax remains agile in responding to market challenges, capitalizing on new opportunities and providing the best shopping experience for our customers."
In the retail world, success is premised on building customer loyalty and trust by getting the right product into the hands of the consumer at the right time. Yet every year, the retail industry loses $93 billion in missed sales due to not having the right products in stock.

The startup had previously raised a €250,000 friend and family round, and had been on track to close a €500,000 seed earlier this year — but received a higher funding offer from a different set of investors, which is the $2.3M round it's reporting."

Predicted by Gartner to add $1.9 trillion to the global economy by 2020, the Internet of Everything (IoE) is based on the idea that devices, systems and services will connect in simple, transparent ways, enabling seamless interactions among devices across brands and sectors.

Trick question: What did Thomas Edison do for the lightbulb? He didn't invent it – working light bulbs existed in laboratories for 80 years before Edison arrived. Instead, Edison's team made electric light scalable. They turned a theoretical possibility into a daily, lived reality – for billions of people. Today, we are at the same point for behavior change. Psychologists, economists, and other behavioral researchers have shown that it's possible to nudge habits, but almost no one has been able to deliver sustainable, reliable behavior change at scale.

The North Carolina Rate Bureau has notified state insurance commissioner Wayne Goodwin that it's seeking a statewide average 17.7 percent premium hike on homeowners property insurance policies written in the state.
Goodwin's office, in a release, says it received the rate hike request – the first in North Carolina since 2008 – on October 1. The rate bureau represents insurance firms writing coverage in the state.
The request asks for the higher rates to go in effect by June 1, 2013 but before that can happen Goodwin and the Department of Insurance, or DOI, will review the proposal to see if any hike is justified. Back in 2008, according to the DOI, property and casualty insurers asked for a 19.5 percent increase, but got 4 percent in a settlement agreement with the regulatory agency.
The latest Rate Bureau request is available for viewing by clicking here. (You'll need to enter the Serff Tracking Number: NCRI-128708881.)
Goodwin has already scheduled a public comment session Oct. 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Jim Long Hearing Room of the Dobbs Building, 430 N. Salisbury St., Raleigh.
DOI is also accepting written comments to NCDOI, Attn: Bob Mack, Property & Casualty Division, 1201 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1201; or emailed to email@example.com.
Lee Weisbecker covers Finance, State Government.

Atticus Capital spinoff Attara Capital is reportedly closing its doors due to difficulty raising assets and an inability to gain traction in the current economic climate.
A source familiar with the hedge fund shop told FINalternatives that Attara, founded by David Mark Slager and Nathaniel Rothschild, would wind down operations in April.
Attara rose from the ashes of Timothy Barakett's Atticus Capital in 2009. Atticus, begun in 1996 with $6 million, peaked at $20 billion AUM in late 2007. In 2009, Barakett announced he would return outside capital to investors and wind down the Atticus Global and Atticus Trading funds. According to the Wall Street Journal, Barakett returned about $3 billion to investors.
Slager, a partner at Atticus and sole portfolio manager of the $1.2 billion Atticus European Fund, co-founded Attara Capital with former Atticus co-owner, Nathaniel Rothschild to manage the Atticus European Fund which they renamed the Attara Fund.
The news follows the closure earlier this month of Atwater Capital, founded two years ago by Atticus Capital vets Lee Pollock and Kris Green.
Attara did not return calls for comment.

After suffering a serious head injury from a skiing accident on Monday, several Web sites are reporting that actress Natasha Richardson is brain dead.
Both the New York Post and Time Out New York reported the news, based on conversations which they claim they have had with friends of Natasha's family.
At first, Time Out New York reported that Natasha was dead. They later withdrew that story, and wrote "brain dead."
At 2 PM ET, the Web site TMZ wrote: " The hospital tells TMZ Richardson is sedated and suffering from brain swelling — but is not brain dead." It is not clear which hospital they are referring to.
The skiing accident occurred on Monday at Station Mont Tremblant near Montreal while the 45-year-old Tony-winning star was taking a lesson.
"Natasha Richardson fell in a beginners trail while taking a ski lesson at Station Mont Tremblant," a rep for the ski resort said in a statement released to Access.
"She was accompanied by an experienced ski instructor who immediately called the ski patrol. She did not show any visible sign of injury but the ski patrol followed strict procedures and brought her back to the bottom of the slope and insisted she should see a doctor," the statement continued.
"As an additional precautionary measure, the ski instructor as well as the ski patrol accompanied Mrs. Richardson to her hotel. They again recommended she should be seen by a doctor. The ski instructor stayed with her at her hotel. Approximately an hour after the incident Mrs. Richardson was not feeling good. An ambulance was called and Mrs. Richardson was brought to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe and was later transferred to Hôpital du Sacre-Coeur."
A rep for the ski resort told People, "She was laughing and joking and she walked to her room on her own" following her fall.
According to the resort rep, Richardson did not hit anyone or anything during the incident.
A rep for the film "Chloe," which Richardson's husband, Liam Neeson, has been filming in Toronto, confirmed to Canadian Television that the Irish actor left the set to be with his wife.
"Liam Neeson left the Toronto set immediately to fly to Montreal upon news of his wife's accident," the rep said in a statement to CTV. "We do not have any details at this time but we hope for the best and our thoughts and prayers are with Natasha and Liam and their family."
Neeson and Richardson wed in 1994. The couple has two sons — Richard Antonio, 13, and Daniel Jack, 12.
IrishCentral.com first reported news of Richardson's accident.

Bill Murray sightings are pretty magical and almost always entirely random. He's been spotted crashing a couple's engagement photos, sitting in on strangers singing karaoke and just last week, he appeared at a minor league baseball game. All totally, 100% true stories!
With Murray in Toronto for this year's Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of his newest film St. Vincent, not to mention the celebration of Bill Murray Day on September 5, we are dying to know where he might pop up next.
Here are some very random, but very plausible guesses:
Sitting in on another film screening.
At the National Bridal Show this weekend.
Going for a bike ride through Trinity Bellwoods Park.
At Toronto's RiotFest, possibly onstage with City & Colour.
Watching an outdoor ping-pong game.
And, of course, taking the subway.

Advance Care Planning Tools That Educate, Engage, and EmpowerIn the current issue of Public Policy & Aging Report, Charlie Sabatino, American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging, has contributed "Advance Care Planning Tools That Educate, Engage, and Empower."
Sabatino reviews a variety of pathways, tools, workbooks, and decision aids have been emerging to facilitate advance care planning and to enable documentation of one's goals and wishes.

Quarantine: The politics are as real as the science
Implementation of medical quarantines in America brings into conflict various legitimate arguments regarding who, if anyone, should have the authority to restrict movements of citizens. Quarantines are not new, but they exist now in a world with new dangers and new opportunities for abuse.

In teaching medical students in recent years, it became apparent that many students found the concept of a home quarantine to be abhorrent. Many were aghast at the concept that a patient could be restricted from daily activities, and found it an egregious violation of civil liberties and ethical conduct. Interestingly, these views were often not mitigated substantially when students were informed that, in former days, quarantines were fairly common in this country and elsewhere. In a world before the Internet in which home confinement was really quite restrictive, medical quarantines for diseases such as small pox, tuberculosis, or even measles were not uncommon. Such quarantines were usually imposed by a local health official. In addition, many families self-quarantined, or at least avoided exposure to potential sources of disease. For example, some people used to avoid many summer activities for fear of contracting polio. Due largely to the development of vaccination, many of the diseases that would have invoked a quarantine in earlier years are no longer of concern, and the concept of quarantine has become a bit anachronistic, even in a world that offers many portals that would seemingly make confinement less onerous. But the topic of quarantine requires renewed consideration in the world of today.

More Secret DNR Orders in UK - Barbara Gibson
In the UK, clinicians may write a DNR order without consent, if they deem that to be in the patient's best interest. But clinicians must still consult with the patient or family. In other words, they may write a unilateral DNR order. But they may not write a "secret" DNR order.
Yet, as I have recounted on this blog more than a dozen times, this continues to happen. One of the most recent cases occurred in August 2014 at Ayr Hospital.
In an apology letter to the family, the said: "I wish to offer my sincere apologies again on behalf of all the staff concerned for the distressing events you have described, and wish to reassure you that lessons have been learned and that practice around DNACPR decisions are being reviewed and improved as a matter of urgency across the organization. . . . It is evident from the review of Mrs Gibson's medical records, and discussions with staff involved, there were failures in communicating the medical decisions around resuscitation to Mrs Gibson and yourselves."

Child Safety Event at Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall Nov. 14
New biometric fingerprinting & DNA ID kit to help parents recover missing children
From press release
The DNA Lifeprint Child Safety Event, endorsed by John Walsh, noted spokesman for fighting crime and recovering missing children, will be held from 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 14, at Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall, 7070 Cherryvale Blvd. North, Rockford.
Biometrics is the newest and most advanced technology available today for obtaining fingerprints. This is the same equipment presently used by federal agencies such as the FBI and the Department of Justice, law enforcement and the U.S. military. Law enforcement agencies know that time is critical in the recovery of a missing child. The biometric technology this program brings to parents allows their child's fingerprints to be immediately submitted into the FBI Database as soon as they are reported missing. When the child's fingerprints are entered into the FBI Database, the fingerprints become immediately available to all law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.
Parents will receive the following items free: an FBI-certified biometric 10-digit fingerprint profile; a high-resolution full-color digital photograph of their child; a Child Safety Journal, which will provide law enforcement officials with all the necessary vital information about their child and other important facts they need immediately after a child is reported missing; a home DNA Identification Kit that is easy to use and lasts through generations.
There is no data basing. After each child goes through the line, parents are handed a Child Safety Journal (which contains the biometric fingerprints and digital photo) and a DNA Kit. The kit contains detailed instructions on how to use the DNA Kit at home. The only record of the visit is handed to you to take home. The event sponsor keeps no records on file. Parents will also be given John Walsh's Child Safety Tips. All the information provided at this Child Safety Program is recommended by child safety experts and law enforcement officials to be updated every six months.
If a child goes missing, parents greatly increase their chance of quickly recovering their child if they immediately provide an FBI-certified biometric 10-digit fingerprint profile, a DNA sample, a high-resolution full-color photograph, and current statistical information.
Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall is the main sponsor of this Child Safety Program event. Also participating are: Red Cross (Jessica Paquette, Health & Safety director) with info on basic safety training, babysitting training and disaster preparedness; Safe Kids Winnebago County Coalition (Penny Lentz) doing free Car Seat Safety Checks; Cherry Valley Police Department (through Sgt. Benney) will have a DARE officer present; Cherry Valley Fire Department (through Chief Allen Geeser) will have a firefighter and fire truck there.
Bachrodt's is proud to sponsor this event, along with a drawing for a $500 Wal-Mart Gift Certificate (guaranteed winner, need not be present to win), as well as
Pickles the Clown,
free face painting and balloon creations for the kids.

Red Hat CEO suggests Oracle is feeling the heat
Hemos posted more than 8 years ago | from the can-you-feel-the-heat dept.81
Rob writes "The previously rosy relationship between Oracle Corp and Red Hat Inc appears to have soured following Red Hat's acquisition of JBoss Inc and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's suggestion that his company could move into the Linux business. Red Hat's chief executive, Matthew Szulik, has written in response to a recent interview with Ellison in which Ellison suggested the company would be interested in distributing and supporting Linux. "Is it possible that the dominant provider of databases feels pressure from its long-time partner, Red Hat, because of our recent purchase of an open source middleware company, JBoss?" Szulik asked, although he also played down suggestions of a "showdown" between the two companies."

From: Pecos, NM
Region: Southwest
Topic: Propagation, Transplants
Title: Propagating Indian Paintbrush
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I live in Pecos, NM and have a lot of Indian Paintbrush plants growing wild on my road. I wonder if you can tell me how I can propagate this plant.
There are 11 different species of Indian paintbrush that are native to New Mexico and I'm not sure which one you have. Regardless of which one you have, the Castileja spp. all are hemi-parasitic. According to Tara Luna in "Propagation Protocol for Indian Paintbrush Castilleja species" (Native Plants Journal, Volume 6, Number 1, Spring 2005, pp. 62-68):
"Unlike a true parasitic plant, hemi-parasites are capable of manufacturing their own food and obtaining water and nutrients from soil, but they also form specialized roots known as haustoria roots that attach to the roots of a host plant, therby providing addtional water uptake for the paintbrush plant and possibly some organic and inorganic nutrients. The relationship does not kill the host. Seeds do not require a signal from the host to initiate germination, and they contain endosperm that provides enough energy for the seedling to establish independently. Unless a haustorium root becomes attached to a host root, however, they will decline in vigor, remain stunted in growth, and never flower, or they will eventually die. The degree that a species can grow and develop wthout the host may vary widely between species."
The parasitized plant is frequently a grass. Because of this need for a host plant, a paintbrush plant usually dies if transplanted. Your best bet is to collect seeds and sow them in the fall along with another herbaceous plant. Bouteloua gracilis (blue grama) has been recommended as a host. Ms. Luna recommends using a plant that grows in the same habitat as the paintbrush you are planting. She has used beardtongue's (Penstemon spp.), Carex spp., Polemonium pulcherrimum (Jacob's-ladder), Phlox drummondii (annual phlox), and Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) as well as small bunch grasses such Festuca idahoensis (Idaho fescue). You should pick something that grows near your paintbrush and collect seeds of them as well as those of your paintbrush.
Collect seeds of your paintbrush as soon as they are mature and ready to be released from the plant. You will have to watch the plants carefully to be sure that you don't lose the seeds when they mature, but also don't collect them too early. Seeds that aren't mature when collected won't germinate. You can sow them directly in the area you want them at the time when they would naturally be released and hope for the best. They obviously have been doing this for millenia on their own and have been successful. Be sure to sow your host plant(s) at the same time.
Ms. Luna, however, uses cold stratification (30 to 150 days, depending on the species—generally, longer times for higher altitude or colder area species) and then sows them in containers. She says that annuals and semi-annuals will germinate without cold stratification, but the percentage of germination will be higher with cold stratification. Here is a general summary of what she does:
1. Soaks seeds in water for 4 to 8 hours. Pours off water and debris.
2. Places seeds between moist blotter paper and stores in an open plastic bag in refrigerator at 33-36°F for required time, checking weekly to see that moisture is evenly distributed.
3. Sows the seeds shallowly into containers and covers them lightly with perlite mulch. She sows the host separately. Germination is 69-77° F daytime temperatures with 50-60° F night temperatures.
4. After the paintbrush plants have 4-6 sets of true leaves (4-6 weeks after germination) they are combined with the host plant seedlings in the same containers.
5. At about 16 weeks they are ready for outplanting. Perennials usually bloom the second year after germination. The annuals and biennials flower the first year after germination.
The library at the College of Santa Fe or Santa Fe Community College library might be able to get a copy of the paper by Tara Luna (above) for you. The paper has details of stratification temperatures and times for various species of Castilleja.
Our database indicates that only Castilleja exserta (exserted Indian paintbrush) is an annual. The following species are perennials:
Castilleja applegatei (wavyleaf Indian paintbrush)
Castilleja haydenii (Hayden's Indian paintbrush)
Castilleja integra (wholeleaf Indian paintbrush) Note, however, that Tom Clothier (see below) lists this species in his Annual/Biennial Seed Germination Database.
Castilleja lanata (Sierra woolly Indian paintbrush)
Castilleja linariifolia (Wyoming Indian paintbrush)
Castilleja miniata (giant red Indian paintbrush)
Castilleja occidentalis (western Indian paintbrush)
Castilleja rhexiifolia (splitleaf Indian paintbrush)
Castilleja sessiliflora (downy paintedcup)
Castilleja sulphurea (sulphur Indian paintbrush)
You can see germination instructions for C. miniata on Tom Clothier's Seed Germination Database-Perennial
Germination instructions for C. integra is in Tom Clothier's Annual/Biennial Seed Germination Database.
