"We come to your site for Burkle." Good point! ... In this month's Los Angeles, Steve Oney takes you inside Team Burkle as PR man Mike Sitrick and his billionaire client have a conference call to decide whether to tell the truth. ...

Needless to say, the piece called for stricter journalistic standards of ethics.

Wall Street takes a dimmer view of Micron
Micron CEO and Chairman Steve Appleton says he's not stepping down. "There are people who think I should step down," Appleton told KTVB-TV (Channel 7) this week. "There are a lot of people who think I'm the right person for the job." In late January, a financial analyst speculated that Appleton, who has been CEO since 1994, would be leaving the company to become CEO of Micron's image-sensor business, which Appleton said Thursday the company would spin off into a separate company. There's been no shortage of speculation about Appleton's future given the losses of the company over the last year. But Appleton, who marked his 25th anniversary with the company Thursday, is no stranger to downturns. In 2003, the company laid off more than 1,000 employees in Boise and endured a $1.27 billion loss.
