Title: Wildflower garden with Castilleja indivisa (Indian paintbrush)
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I want to start a wildflower garden in my front/backyard. Specifically, I would like to include the indian paintbrush. What is the best way to go about this? Straight in the ground, containers, etc..? I know there are MANY species but, am I correct that the native, "iconic" one to the fields and highways is the Castilleja Indivisa? In addition to the bluebonnet, are there other plants/flowers/grasses that are best suited for pairing with the paintbrush that won't be harmed by(or work well with) it's hemiparasitic nature? I live in South Dallas and have both sunny and shaded areas to work with. Thanks in advance!
You are right that Castilleja indivisa (Entireleaf indian paintbrush) is the common paintbrush you see on the highway rights-of-way growing alongside Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) and they do look beautiful together. C. indivisa (and other Castilleja spp.) are hemi-parasitic. They can grow without being attached to another plant's roots, but they grow much larger and healthier if they can gain some of their water and nutrients from a neighboring plant. The hemi-parasitic activity of the paintbrush doesn't seem to cause great harm to its victim. (Please see the answer to a previous question about the parasitic nature of C. indivisa.) Bluebonnets, grasses, other wildflowers—just about any other herbaceous plant will do. You can visit our Texas-North Central Recommended page to look for other possibilities. You can use the NARROW YOUR SEARCH option to select criteria to fit your site (e.g., choices under BLOOM TIME or LIGHT REQUIREMENT).
Here are a few that would look good with your paintbrushes and bluebonnets while they are blooming in March, April and May:
Callirhoe involucrata (Winecup) bloom in March, April and May.
Coreopsis tinctoria (Plains coreopsis) bloom in March, April and May.
To keep your garden looking good for a longer period you might want to include some flowers that bloom later in the year such as:
Glandularia bipinnatifida var. bipinnatifida (Prairie verbena) blooms March through December.
Melampodium leucanthum (Blackfoot daisy) blooms March through November.
Gaillardia pulchella (Firewheel) blooms May through August.
Liatris mucronata (Cusp gayfeather) blooms August through December.
Eustoma exaltatum ssp. russellianum (Texas bluebells) blooms June through September.
Early- to mid-fall would have been a good time to plant the seeds outdoors since they do best after experiencing a cold period before spring germination. (Please see the answer to a previous question about planting seeds of C. indivisa.) However, you can do your own cold stratification and start them in containers in a greenhouse. Here is information from the answer to a previous question with extensive information about propagating Castilleja spp.:
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.
You can also find instructions for C. indivisa in Tom Clothier's Annual/Biennial Seed Germination Database.

PARIS -- (Marketwire) -- 11/12/12 -- Mauna Kea Technologies (EURONEXT PARIS: MKEA), leader in the optical biopsy market and developer of Cellvizio®, the fastest way to see cancer, today announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the hospital outpatient payment rates for the 2013 Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes that will be used with Cellvizio procedures in the upper gastrointestinal tract beginning January 1, 2013.
The Category I CPT procedure codes issued by the American Medical Association (AMA) and supported by the medical societies, include 43206 for adding Cellvizio imaging to endoscopies specifically in the esophagus and 43252 for the entire upper GI tract. The CMS fee schedule indicates that Cellvizio procedures in the esophagus or the rest of the upper GI tract be reimbursed at an average payment rate of $927 per outpatient visit under Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) 419. Physicians may also use these same codes to describe their services. Based on the documentation submitted with the claim and the value of similar services, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) will determine the appropriate payment amount.
"We are very pleased that AMA and CMS have created new codes to describe Cellvizio, which is recognized to be an important tool to manage patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and in particular in the esophagus," said Sacha Loiseau, PhD, Founder and CEO of Mauna Kea Technologies. "We believe that the new codes will ease and streamline the claims processing burden for hospital outpatient departments, facilitate payment timing and increase the predictability of hospital payments for upper GI Cellvizio procedures.
About CPT Codes
CPT codes are the most widely accepted form of medical nomenclature used to report medical procedures and services under public and private health insurance programs in the U.S. APCs are the U.S. government's method of paying for facility outpatient services for the Medicare program.
The purpose of the CPT codes is to provide a uniform language that accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. Physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers use CPT codes to report medical services to private and public health insurance systems for purposes of reimbursement. A standard system of coding also allows for reliable nationwide data collection.
Among the AMA's stated criteria for a new Category I CPT code are requirements that: (1) the service/procedure has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the specific use of devices or drugs; (2) the service/procedure is a distinct service performed by many physicians/practitioners across the U.S.; (3) the clinical efficacy of the service/procedure is well established and documented in U.S. peer review literature; and (4) the service/procedure is neither a fragmentation of an existing procedure/service nor currently reportable by one or more existing codes.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

"I've snored since I was five and over the years have tried pretty much everything. I've even considered surgery. The sound often wakes me up and most nights my husband Colin has to retreat to the spare room. I've tried Rhinomed's product Mute a few times now and haven't woken myself up once. My husband says my snoring is much reduced and much quieter, so I'm going to keep using it."
– Mrs Jenny Chapman from Lincolnshire snores at 111.6 decibels – eight decibels louder than a low-flying jet
Made from ultra-soft medical grade polymers, Mute increases the volume of air travelling through the nose during sleep, encouraging nasal breathing, which may alleviate congestion – factors critical to help reduce snoring and provide a better quality of sleep.
Important: Mute nasal device is not for the treatment of sleep apnea. If you think that your snoring may be a symptom of sleep apnea, you should consult your doctor or a sleep specialist.
Finding the right size for your nose is the first step in ensuring you get the very best result from Mute.
There are two simple ways to find the right size to fit your nose:
1. Try our Starter pack which includes one small, one medium and one large Mute. You can then try each size and see which works best for you. Follow the product instructions and watch the "How to Use Mute" video to help you get the right fit.
2. Download our print friendly Sizing Guide which will help you size your nose and select the right size Mute for you.
SIZING TIP: Generally men are Medium or Large and women are Small or Medium.
In a recent trial with 236 people, subjects reported
The benefits of increased air-flow through the nose during sleep may not stop with a reduction in snoring. It is likely you'll wake from a 'Mute' sleep feeling more refreshed and invigorated – and your sleeping partner should too.
A clinical trial carried out by the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Melbourne, Australia showed that the technology platform increased air-flow through the nose by an average of 38% when compared to nasal strips.
Hundreds of hours of careful research and development have been poured into Mute, resulting in a technology as effective as it is comfortable. Mute is designed to ensure the technology remains comfortably in place throughout the night.
Just as no human face is the same, so it is with the human nose. Mute's three sizes and patented independent dilation system allows for subtle adjustment from one nostril to the other, ensuring optimal air-flow through both passages of your nose.
Mute is designed specifically to correct the issue of poor air-flow through the nose to the lungs by stenting your nasal valves and preventing airway collapse.
Ensuring you have the right Mute size and fit is essential to gaining a maximum reduction in snoring and increase in sleep quality.
Snoring is very common and it often has more than one cause. Underlying causes of snoring can be difficult to diagnose and may relate to deformities of the nasal septum (the cartilage between the two sides of the nose) and the other internal nasal structures. Infrequent snoring may be caused by temporary blockages of the nose due to nasal allergies or colds or can result from the use of medication or alcohol. It is not uncommon for women to snore during pregnancy.
Snoring can also occur as a result of poor nasal air-flow. For some people, the body's automatic response during sleep is to open the mouth increasing the likelihood of snoring because the air hits the back of the throat creating vibrations in the soft tissues.
Secretions in your nose and soft palate become stickier when you're dehydrated, increasing the likelihood of snoring.
Alcohol and sedatives reduce the resting tone of the muscles in your airways and increase the likelihood of snoring. It is widely accepted that drinking alcohol four to five hours before sleeping worsens snoring.
Activities which involve careful coordination and control of your breathing (such as yoga and even playing the didgeridoo) may assist in a reduction of snoring.
Obesity is a major contributor to a whole range of health issues like snoring. By shedding a few kilos you can reduce the amount of fatty tissue at the back of your upper airways and throat, which can make a difference.
Sleeping on your side may help prevent the base of your tongue and soft palate collapsing into the back wall of your throat. Consider whether a pillow might help to keep you on your side. Using a large pillow to keep your head up and extended may also help to keep your air passages open and reduce your snoring. If you continue snoring regardless of your sleep position you should consult your doctor.
Allergens and dust mites in your bedroom may contribute to snoring. Consider washing or replacing your pillows and dusting the bedroom environment.
Poor sleep habits (also known as 'sleep hygiene') can have an effect similar to drinking alcohol. Exhaustion and over-tiredness can cause muscles to become relaxed and increase the incidence of snoring. Wherever possible enact and follow through with a planned sleep routine. Visit Breathing Space by Rhinomed for more information on how to plan for a better sleep.
It's easy to work out what size you need using our Mute Sizing Guide (download now). Mute is also available in a starter pack (containing small, medium and large size in one handy pack). Each Mute will last ten days.

FORT COLLINS, CO -- (Marketwired) -- 01/21/14 -- Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWD) today reported financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2014. (All per share amounts are presented on a fully diluted basis.)
First Quarter Highlights
- Net sales this quarter were $429.0 million, including the acquired Duarte business(1), compared to $408.3 million in the first quarter of last year, an increase of 5 percent.
- Earnings per share were $0.34, compared to $0.39 in the first quarter of last year, a decrease of 13 percent.
- EBIT(2) was $38.9 million, compared to $44.9 million in the first quarter of the prior year, a decrease of 13 percent.
- Free cash flow(2) was $7.3 million, a decrease of $2.8 million from $10.1 million in the first quarter of the prior year.
"As anticipated, our first quarter reflected the seasonal impacts resulting from fewer working days in the quarter as well as quarterly reductions in defense sales, particularly in the aftermarket," said Thomas A. Gendron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We have begun to see some firming in our energy markets, and commercial aerospace remains strong."
Company Results
Net sales for the 2014 first quarter were $429.0 million, compared to $408.3 million for the 2013 first quarter, an increase of 5 percent. Organic net sales, which excludes the Duarte business, were $397.6 million for the 2014 first quarter, a decrease of 3 percent from the first quarter last year primarily due to a decrease in defense sales, partially offset by increased commercial OEM aerospace sales.
EBIT was $38.9 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $44.9 million for the first quarter of 2013. The current quarter EBIT was primarily impacted by reduced organic sales volume and unfavorable product mix.
Net earnings for the 2014 first quarter were $23.4 million, or $0.34 per share, compared to $27.4 million, or $0.39 per share in the 2013 first quarter.
Segment Results
Aerospace net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were $229.9 million, an increase of 9 percent from $211.4 million for the first quarter a year ago. Organic net sales for Aerospace were $198.4 million, a decrease of 6 percent from the prior year first quarter. Segment earnings for the first quarter of 2014 were $22.5 million, compared to $31.6 million for the same quarter a year ago, a decrease of 29 percent. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales were 9.8 percent this quarter, compared to 14.9 percent in the same quarter of the prior year.
The organic sales decrease was primarily due to lower OEM and aftermarket defense sales, partially offset by higher commercial OEM and aftermarket sales. Quarterly variability in defense aftermarket sales were a result of the timing of contracts, orders and upgrade programs. Segment earnings primarily reflected the impact of reduced organic sales volume and unfavorable product mix.
Energy net sales for the first quarter of 2014 were $199.2 million, a slight increase from $197.0 million for last year's first quarter. Segment earnings for the first quarter of 2014 were $27.1 million, compared to $23.9 million for last year's first quarter. Segment earnings as a percent of segment net sales were 13.6 percent this quarter compared to 12.1 percent in the same quarter of the prior year.
Segment sales reflected the continued uncertainty in our energy markets. Segment earnings were primarily impacted by continuing manufacturing productivity gains.
Nonsegment expenses totaled $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $10.6 million for the same quarter last year. Nonsegment expenses were 2.5 percent of consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2014, largely consistent with the prior year quarter.
Cash Flow and Financial Position
Net cash provided by operating activities was $44.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $40.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Free cash flow was $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2013, reflecting the increase in payments for property, plant, and equipment for the first quarter of 2014 to $37.1 million, compared with $29.9 million for the first quarter of 2013.
Share repurchases were $43.6 million for the first quarter of 2014. There were no shares repurchased in the first quarter of 2013. Total debt was $594.0 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $550.0 million at September 30, 2013. The ratio of debt to debt-plus-equity was 34.5 percent at December 31, 2013 compared to 32.5 percent at September 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of both 2014 and 2013 was 29.0 percent.
"Our full year outlook for fiscal 2014 is unchanged, with sales anticipated to be between $1.95 and $2.05 billion, and earnings per share expected to be between $2.10 and $2.30 per share," said Mr. Gendron.
(1) Duarte business was acquired on December 28, 2012.
(2) Non- U.S. GAAP Financial Measures: EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and free cash flow are financial measures not prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Management uses EBIT to evaluate Woodward's operating performance without the impacts of financing and tax related considerations. Management uses EBITDA in evaluating Woodward's operating performance, making business decisions, including developing budgets, managing expenditures, forecasting future periods, and evaluating capital structure impacts of various strategic scenarios. Management uses free cash flow, which is derived from net cash provided by operating activities less payments for property, plant, and equipment, in reviewing the financial performance of Woodward's various business segments and evaluating cash generation levels. Securities analysts, investors, and others frequently use EBIT, EBITDA and free cash flow in their evaluation of companies, particularly those with significant property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The use of any of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because EBIT and EBITDA exclude certain financial information compared with net earnings, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the information that is excluded. Free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Management's calculations of EBIT, EBITDA, and free cash flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

"I'm optimistic, I think that the new Pope could only be a better one. The Vatican has understood that they have made a lot of mistakes, on human rights, on LGBT rights, on condoms, on new families and on modern needs of contemporary people," Giuseppina la Delfa, gay family group Famiglie Arcobaleno's president, tells GSN.

According to GSN, "the body of a teenager found hanged in woodland in Lancashire has been revealed as 16-year-old Anthony Stubbs, a young father who had reportedly been bullied for being bisexual."
1) Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Sims talks to ESPN about coming out.
"The truth is I was gay my whole life," Sims tells ESPN. "I had dated girls in high school. I think I knew I wasn't straight long before I knew I was gay. I knew by the time I got to college that I was gay. My team actually came to me to ask me whether I was gay. They wanted to talk about it. They asked me about the struggle and when I was going to tell people. I didn't go through the same struggles as people today. Today, you have 14-, 15-, 16-year-olds so confident and secure in their sexuality. I was not. I wasn't a gay 17-year-old ready to come out to the world. When I got to college, I realized I was gay. I just didn't know how to go about it. My college didn't have a LGBT group to give me the language to come out. It was my quarterback who asked me first."
2) Colorado moves closer to legalizing civil unions.
3) Meanwhile, in Iowa, GOP lawmakers aren't focused on same-sex marriage.

The Juneau Assembly Committee of the Whole last night (Monday) asked the city attorney to draft a resolution conveying its interest in building a filtration system for Salmon Creek – the city's secondary water supply.
The issue of how Juneau residents get their water has been raised by the Assembly's ongoing investigation of whether to pursue reopening the old AJ Mine near downtown. The AJ ore body is partly owned by the city, and located in Last Chance Basin – Juneau's primary source of drinking water.
A Salmon Creek filtration system could open the door to mine development. But Assembly members say it's too soon to go down that road.
Casey Kelly has more.
Right now Salmon Creek supplies about a third of Juneau's water, while most comes from Gold Creek in Last Chance Basin. CBJ Engineering Director Rorie Watt told the Assembly that's partly because Salmon Creek is not available year round.
"Since Salmon Creek is a surface water source, and is subject to seasonal turbidity, at times we have to take it offline because of the murkiness in the water," Watt explained. "We could keep it online all the time if we filtered it."
Watt recently completed a draft report on Juneau's water system, requested by the Assembly as part of its review of the AJ Mine. The report outlines several scenarios for future development of the system, with and without a gold mine operating in Last Chance Basin.
Watt said one of the more attainable scenarios would involve converting Salmon Creek into a year round supply, while diverting water from the AJ Mine drainage tunnel away from Gold Creek.
"It's the most neat and tidy," he said. "It identifies the solution to potential contamination at Gold Creek and it identifies a volume supply increase for losses at Gold Creek."
Watt said he would expect a mining company to pay for the cost of diverting the AJ drainage tunnel. But the city would have to pursue the Salmon Creek filtration system on its own. He said a facility capable of filtering four million gallons of water per day would meet the city's current peak usage. Watt estimated a plant that size would cost about $6-million. But a larger facility would allow for growth in water consumption.
"If we were to go down the road of pursuing a filtration plant, there would be a lot of further investigation about which type of filtration plant would be best for Juneau, and there would be a lot of discussion about sizing that plant, and what size would be most appropriate," said Watt.
Mayor Bruce Botelho suggested a resolution expressing conceptual support for a Salmon Creek filtration system, without identifying a funding source. If the Assembly wishes to pursue it, Botelho said the plant could eventually be added to the city's long term Capital Improvements Projects list or put to voters as part of a one-percent sales tax measure.
But at this point, the mayor said the resolution would be a way to gauge public support.
"The reason I suggest the resolution is it would create an avenue for the public to specifically comment to us on that proposed course of action," he said.
Assembly member Karen Crane said sorting out the city's water supply issues should come before any decision on whether to reopen the AJ.
"We heard, even from many pro-mine people who spoke and gave testimony, that water was also an issue for them," Crane said. "And I just am not prepared to go any further with anything until we come up with a plan for water."
Mine or no mine, Botelho said the city should look to improve its water system. He said continuing to have two sources of drinking water – Salmon Creek and Gold Creek – would best serve the public.
"I see it as a confluence of interests, both in terms of community sentiment about having redundancy in our water supply, and it also, I think, coincides with the interests of advancing mining were that to come. But it is in its own way stand alone," said Botelho.
The draft resolution will come back to the Committee of the Whole and be refined before possibly being moved to the full Assembly.

Jacobs: People will be Required to get a RFID Implant to Receive Health Care
Earlier this year, Cindy Jacobs unveiled a new and improved United States Reformation Prayer Network which promised to "make a major shift in 2012" for this nation through targeted prayer that impact "some of the most significant decisions in the history of the United States." And for a mere $15 a year, anyone could become a part of the effort.
But it seems like the USRPN needs more supporters, as Cindy and Mike Jacobs released a video earlier this week touting the importance of the effort and urging people to join. In it, they attempted to convince viewers of the value of signing up by listing some of the ways in which the USRPN has been active already this year along with the sorts of information that only USRPN subscribers have gotten ... such as the news that the health care reform legislation apparently requires everyone to get an RFID chip implanted in their finger in order to receive health care:

These spectacular, surreal shorts for MTV by Kungen and Hertigen are near-perfect

I want to live in this world, I want horizontal hair, a square jaw and weird elongated arms. But life's not fair so I will have to be content with watching this over and over again.
