Geoff Nairn, Enterprise Solutions Specialist at Openbravo
Jul 21 2016
36 mins
Consumers are rushing to embrace the benefits of omnichannel retailing by choosing retail brands and businesses that have adapted the shopping experience to fit their connected "always on" lives. The physical store will continue to play a central if changed role in this new scenario and so bricks-and-mortar retailers need to leverage the strengths of their existing physical store network and their brand to offer customers a transformational shopping experience across all channels.
What Will You Learn?
In this webinar we highlight how retailers are using omnichannel to create differentiated shopping experiences designed to boost sales and margins, build loyalty and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. We explain how information technology can help retailers successfully implement key omnichannel concepts in a way that builds on the advantages of an existing physical store network and evolves at a pace the retailer can decide.

Robert Colatarci, Peter D. Wild, Rebecca Schauer Robertson, and Shannon Cox
Jul 19 2016
58 mins
Join Experis Finance for a complimentary, virtual panel webinar focused on whether or not your AML models for transaction monitoring perform according to regulatory expectations.
Regulatory guidance requires independent validation of models used for risk management purposes, including AML systems. Greater emphasis is being placed on institutions to identify suspicious activity and ensure that the models used are effective. This panel, which includes both community bank and large bank perspectives, will discuss the independent validation of transaction monitoring systems, examples of typical validation findings, and the development of an action plan to address the results of a validation.
After attending this webinar,
•You will begin to understand the necessary components of Data Management as it relates to the set-up of Transaction Monitoring Systems
•You will understand the current rules-based systems, the newer behavioral-based systems, and how they work
•You will understand the basics of how to select a new transaction monitoring system
•You will understand the next generation of Cyber Threats and how they differ from traditional attacks
Presenters include:
- Robert Colatarci, Senior Manager, Financial Institution Services, Experis Finance

RI webinar: Drought - preparing for current and future water security challenges
Responsible Investor
Jul 14 2016
58 mins
'Water crises' is recognised as one of the top 3 critical global risks by the World Economic Forum. In addition water scarcity, as has been recently demonstrated in countries such as Brazil and the US, can have significant implications for economic productivity. In 2015 the California drought cost $2.7 billion and shaved 0.1% off California's GDP. The 2015 drought in Brazil is predicted to have cut GDP growth by 1-2 %, pushing the country into negative growth and contributing to inflation.
Draft Agenda:
* The current impacts of drought on economic productivity
* What does this mean for investors (portfolio risk) and banks (lending activities)?
* How is the sector dealing with these risks?
* Is it possible to create a drought resilient finance sector?
* And what are the implications for banks, pension funds, insurers etc.?

Pricing Power: Optimize Retail Promotions for Competitive Advantage
Geoff Nairn, Enterprise Solutions Specialist at Openbravo
Jun 9 2016
40 mins
Retailers face intense competition for a decreasing share of the customer's wallet and the challenges are even more acute in markets that are deflationary. Promotions now play an increasingly important role in growing sales but an excessive dependence on deep and broader discounts and promotions can damage not only the bottom line but also the brand.
What Will You Learn?
In this webinar, we highlight some of the trends that are driving the increased use of promotions and discounts in retailing. We explain how information technology can help retailers develop "smarter" promotional and discount strategies. These seek to influence customer behavior and boost loyalty instead of simply generating a short-lived sales boost or clearing inventories.

Ending too big to fail: bank resolution strategies and counterparty impacts
Morrison & Foerster, IFLR
Jun 8 2016
93 mins
As jurisdictions continue to move forward with strategies for resolving large banking organisations, recent turmoil in relation to European bank stocks has raised questions as to how markets will react to the initiatives and perceived differences between them. This webinar will take stock of comparative bank resolution regimes and the stated strategies of the resolution authorities under those regimes. We will also look at 'pre-emptive' measures such as structural changes and changes to the terms of bank instruments. From a market point of view, we will also discuss the effect that the above factors, the possibility of bail-in, and the need to raise TLAC/MREL/PLAC, will affect the market for bank capital and debt instruments as well as other banking transactions.

• With European investors and corporations broadly backing calls for improved climate risk reporting and disclosure, is this the moment we will see North America come on board?
• Will this resolution end the apparent inconsistency by asset owners and asset managers who vote for climate risk resolutions when supported by management but not when companies resist?

• Anne Simpson, Investment Director, Global Governance, CalPERS (USA)
• Helen Wildsmith, Stewardship Director - Climate Change, CCLA Investment Management (UK)•
• Shanna Cleveland, Senior Manager - Carbon Asset Risk Initiative, Ceres
Stockholder Proposal Regarding Report on Climate Change Impact Assessment is Item No 12 on the ballot at ExxonMobil's AGM on 25 May. It has been co-filed by England's Church Commissioners and the New York State Common Retirement Fund in the US. This transatlantic partnership is a first for the Church Commissioners.
The resolution asks ExxonMobil to improve its annual reporting on climate risk and to disclose to investors how resilient the company's portfolio would be if efforts to restrict warming to 2° were successful. In an article written by Edward Mason for Responsible Investor link, he explains that their resolution doesn't ask ExxonMobil to change its house view that the 2° target will be overshot. It simply asks them to report on how the business would fare were the Paris Agreement to be implemented. It is the same request for reporting on portfolio resilience that the "Aiming for A" shareholder resolutions made of BP and Shell in 2015.

•Issuances exempt from registration under Rule 144A;
•Issuances that rely on registration exceptions provided by Securities Act Section 3(a)(2) for securities offered or guaranteed by banks;
•Setting up a Rule 144A or bank note program for straight debt;
•Issuing contingent capital or other securities convertible into equity upon the occurrence of a non-viability event;
•Yankee CD programmes; and

Innovative Logistics Strategies for Omnichannel Fulfillment
Geoff Nairn, Enterprise Solutions Specialist at Openbravo
Sep 15 2016
9:30 am
60 mins
Omnichannel fulfillment is an area where bricks-and-mortar retailers have a unique advantage over e-tailers. They can fulfill orders and handle returns from stores to reduce shipping costs and times, and capture orders in any channel, regardless of that channel's ability to fulfill the order. To support these new cross-channel fulfillment scenarios, retailers must overhaul their IT systems and logistics to gain a single view of inventory across the entire distribution network.
What Will You Learn?
In this webinar we highlight how consumers' heightened expectations in an omnichannel era are forcing retailers to improve and innovate fulfillment. For example, the growth of buy online pickup in store (BOPIS) responds to consumers' demands for convenience and instant gratification. But many retailers have struggled to do omnichannel fulfillment well, so we explain what you need to be successful in terms of technology, logistics and supply chain management.

Can FinTech and AI solve the ESG data puzzle?
What's the best route to reduce costs, increase flows and further improve the quality of ESG data from corporate reporter to end-user?
The 2016 Carrots & Sticks report identifies almost 400 sustainability regulations, guidelines, codes-of-conduct, frameworks and other reporting instruments across 64 countries. How accurate is this data? How are corporations coping with the pressure and cost of reporting? How can asset managers make sense of what it means? And will data vendors turn to AI to collect and deliver this googolesque volume of data?
During this 60-minute webinar we will discuss:
• Global trends in sustainability reporting and regulations: What have been the major trends in the last decade and how harmonized have they been? How can auditors help in the quest for more accurate ESG data?
• How are corporations coping with the growing pressure from regulators to disclose more ESG data? What tools do they use? What can be done to reduce the costs, improve the quality? Can entry be made more accessible for SMEs?
• As asset owners place more demands on asset managers to integrate ESG in their investment process, how are custodians meeting this challenge and what are the key pressure points?
• ESG research and data vendors are under increasing pressure to provide more coverage and higher quality ESG data and ratings to investors. This creates cost and logistical challenges in an industry where most of this work is still carried out by specialized analysts. Is AI the answer?

Anyone reading pundits and politicians pontificating profusely about climate or environmental science will, at some point, have come across the "volcano gambit". During the discussion they will make a claim that volcanoes (or even a single volcano) produce many times more pollutant emissions than human activities. Often the factor is extremely precise to help give an illusion of science-iness and, remarkably, almost any pollutant can be referenced. This "volcano gambit" is an infallible sign that indicates the author is clueless about climate science, but few are aware of its long and interesting history…
Unforced Variations: Apr 2016
What drives uncertainties in adapting to sea-level rise?
Guest article by Sally Brown, University of Southampton
Let me get this off my chest – I sometimes get frustrated at climate scientists as they love to talk about uncertainties! To be sure, their work thrives on it. I'm someone who researches the projected impacts and adaptation to sea-level rise and gets passed 'uncertain' climate data projections to add to other 'uncertain' data projections in my impact modellers work bag. But climate scientists do a good job. Without exploring uncertainties, science loses robustness, but uncertainties in combination can become unbounded and unhelpful to end users.
Let's take an adaptation to sea-level rise as an example: With increasing scientific knowledge, acceptance and mechanisms that would allow adaptation to potentially occur, one would think that adaptation would be straight forward to implement. Not so. Instead of hard and fast numbers, policy makers are faced with wide ranges of uncertainties from different sources, making decision making challenging. So what uncertainties are there in the drivers of change, and can understanding these uncertainties enable better decisions for adaptation?
Prior to considering adaptation in global or regional models, or implementation at local level, drivers of change and their impacts (and thus uncertainties) require analysis – here are a few examples. More »
The Early Anthropocene Hypothesis: An Update
Guest post from Bill Ruddiman, University of Virginia
For over a decade, paleoclimate scientists have argued whether the warmth of the last several thousand years was natural or anthropogenic. This brief comment updates that debate, also discussed earlier at RC: Debate over the Early Anthropogenic Hypothesis (2005) and An Emerging View on Early Land Use (2011). The graph below outlines the evolution of that debate through 4 phases.
In phase 1 (the 1900's), scientists viewed Holocene climate change as driven only by natural causes until the industrial era began. But by the late 1990's, ice core data revealed late Holocene GHG rises unlike trends in previous interglaciations. Two hypotheses proposed natural causes for the CO2 increase: carbonate compensation (Broecker et al., 1999, 2001) and coral-reef construction (Ridgewell et al., 2003).
In phase 2 (2001-2003), the early anthropogenic hypothesis (EAH) challenged natural explanations for the anomalous late Holocene CO2 (and CH4) rises, attributing them to the spread of early agriculture thousands of years ago.
In phase 3 (2004-2008), several arguments were advanced against the EAH:
* too few people lived millennia ago to have had a significant influence on land clearance, GHG emissions and climate;
* a (proposed) interglacial stage 11 analog for the Holocene suggested that thousands of years of natural warmth still remain in the current interglaciation;
* the weak decrease in ice core δ13CO2 during the last 7000 years did not permit extensive deforestation which would have released abundant 12C -rich carbon.
Papers by myself, my co-authors at Wisconsin, and others during phase 3 rebutted some of these criticisms, but community opinion remained divided.
Phase 4 (2009-2016) has seen a major shift in viewpoint of published papers: 30 papers favor aspects of the EAH, 6 papers oppose it, and 5 are in the middle. Most of the phase 4 papers that oppose the hypothesis or are 'in the middle' are based on modeling studies. Many of the 30 supporting papers are broad-scale compilations of archaeological and paleoecological evidence:
* The average GHG trends from 7 previous interglaciations show CO2 and CH4 decreases, in contrast to the late Holocene increases;
* Interglacial stage 19, the closest Holocene analog, shows decreases in CH4 and CO2, and the CO2 decrease closely matches the 2003 EAH prediction;
* CH4 emissions from Asian rice paddies account for 70% of the observed CH4 rise from 5000 to 1000 years ago
* historical data show that early per-capita land use was at least 4 times larger than assumed in several phase-3 land use simulations
* a recent land use simulation based on historical evidence accounts for more than half the CO2 anomaly originally proposed in the EAH;
* pollen evidence shows nearly complete deforestation in north-central Europe before the industrial era began;
* δD and δ18O trends show anomalous late Holocene warmth compared to cooling trends in prior interglaciations, in agreement with A-OGCM simulations of the warming effect of the anthropogenic CO2 and CH4 trends.

Kostecki Sentenced, out of Roy Jones Fight; Glazewski In?
By Alexey Sukachev & Luke Furman
According to various Polish sources, Dawid "Gypsy" Kostecki (39-1, 25 KOs), who was scheduled to take on legendary Roy Jones Jr. (55-8, 40 KOs) at Atlas Arena in Lodz on June 30, is now out of the fight. Kostecki has recently been found guilty in an organized crime and was sentenced to two and a half years in jail. According to local authorities, the boxer was the head of a nationwide gang of pimps. He had also been charged with drug possession, but these charges were later dropped.
"Somebody wanted to prevent this event from happening and to prevent me from winning big on the international scene. It would have been a major night for me and for Polish professional boxing as a whole. It will never happen", posted Kostecki via the obe of social networks through his friends. "I hope the truth will eventually come out, and all of you will know exactly what has happened with me in reality. Somebody wants to rule me out".
Kostecki will be reportedly (source - Tomasz Babilonski) replaced by an undefeated former BBU International champion light heavyweight champion Pawel Glazewski (17-0, 4 KOs), who has victories over capable Doudou Ngumbu and Matthew Barney in his recent fights. He is ranked #9 by the WBC.

Get ready for TLAP day!

Get ready for a special day with no historical meaning, religious affiliation, or other significant value. Aye, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day, me matey.
For no reason whatsoever, two guys, John Baur and Mark Summers, in Albany, Oregon started talking like pirates as they played racquetball in 1995. They thought it was great fun, and planned on talking like pirates on one day each year. The selected day has no significance except it is Summers' ex-wife's birthday, Sept. 19.
Some years Baur and Summers ("Cap'n Slappy" and "Ol' Chumbucket") remembered this special day, some years they forgot; and Talk Like a Pirate (TLAP) day almost died. But, like a battle saving galley in the night, Dave Barry published an article promoting the day's elegance in 2002. Since then, the concept spread. TLAP is now celebrated in more than 40 countries worldwide.
TLAP is not recognized yet as a government holiday with parades, days off, and ready-made vacation plans. However, the day has been officially recognized by the great sea-faring state of Michigan. Can Virginia be far behind, or for that matter, the entire Federal Government?
Begad! There be Jolly Rogers hangin' on all the yardarms one day, me thinks.
Since there be only 37 days 'fore Talk Like A Pirate day, ye may wanna grub-up on pirate words 'n phrases, or get an eyepatch, parrot and pegleg.
So, me beauties, here's some basic pirate words so ye be ready:
arr - a great way to start off any sentence
aye - yes
aye aye - yes to the cap'n or yer boss
avast - look out, beware
ahoy - hello
arrrgh - surprise, anger
me - my
beauty - woman
bilge rat - a rat that lives in the worst place on the ship
grub - food
grog - alcoholic drink, not beer
lubber - a non-seafaring person, an insult
smartly - do quickly
blow me down - phrase to denote surprise
shiver me timbers - phrase to denote surprise
booty - treasure
chum - chum
Davey Jones Locker - bottom of the Sea
buccaneer - Fancy Pirate
doublloon - Spanish gold coin
Jolly Roger - Skull & Crossbones on a black flag
pieces o'eight - Silver coins worth less than doubloon
mate(y): buddy, friend.
belay – stop
walk the plank - punish
prepare to be boarded - get ready
wench - woman
thar - there
shark bait - shark bait
poop deck
swashbuckler - pirate
batten down the hatches - save the ship
begad! -- By God!
yarr - excuse me
poppet - little kid
yardarm - part of a pirate ship
addled - insane, mad
har har - laugh
So, lift up a grog me mateys 'n practice th' words smartly or prepare to walk the plank on September 19!

Samples from different water sources (n = 396) were collected during 2009 and 2011. Wastewater (2–5 l) was purified by aluminium sulphate flocculation. Surface, ground and drinking waters (400–6400 l) were collected by filtration. Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts were further concentrated by sucrose centrifugation. (Oo)cysts were identified by IFT (immunofluorescence test), DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining and DICM (difference interference contrast microscopy). Out of 206 wastewater samples, 134 (65·0%) were found to be positive for Giardia cysts and 64 (31·1%) for Cryptosporidium oocysts. Parasite numbers ranged from 0 to 2436 cysts/l and 0 to 1745 oocysts/l. Eight (4·2%) surface and drinking water samples (n = 190) were found to be positive for Giardia cysts (0–56000/100 l), and 18 (9·5%) for Cryptosporidium oocysts (2400/100 l). The purpose of this study was to establish the prevalence and concentrations of Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium spp. by detecting (oo)cysts from water samples. This study provides substantial evidence that G. lamblia cysts and Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts are able to enter and circulate in the aquatic environment with negative implications for public health.

The West Barnstable Fire Department received $6,108 for wildfire training through the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension.
"We still remain at risk," the Extension's Bill Clark told the county commissioners last week. "It's not if, it's when. We're at a 50-year-plus cycle with a lot of fuel built up. If we have a fire, there are a lot of homes in close proximity. The U.S. Forest Service considers Barnstable and Plymouth counties second only to California for risks."
Clark said Cape towns have put more land into conservation, which means "more land not under direct control of residential development. That provides some kind of protection; it protects the Cape and the investment of homeowners."

Words that mean everything to us ...After getting married (in a forest) in South Africa back in 2001, we moved to the Netherlands, doing flooring and web design. Those 12 years were invaluable in learning the cultural differences between laid-back "warmer climates" and work-focussed "colder climates". In November 2013, we took a 4-month sabbatical in the idyllic Provençal village of Cotignac, to face the cost of not following one's dream and running that dreaded hamster-wheel ... burnout.
"Never say Never!" Despite Victoria vowing never to move to another foreign language without speaking it first, the decision to move south was quickly made. Terrifying and exciting in equal measures. We've downsized our lives and are working as caretaker consultants. And learning French. We're probably working as much as we did in Holland, but the lifestyle and culture suits us. Best of all, our old friend "joie de vivre" is returning.

Tinkerers Head to White House for 'Maker Faire'
President Barack Obama will highlight the value of tinkerers, inventors and entrepreneurs Wednesday at the White House's "Maker Faire," as the administration tries to fuel the launch of new businesses and help bring ideas to life.
As the name suggests, the event will celebrate those who make things – from a robotic giraffe to an incubator helping premature babies in rural villages. And while some of the featured exhibits, which include a patch that covers tattoos and an iPhone charger powered by footsteps, simply sound quirky, White House officials want to emphasize the economic implications of these inventions.

Technologies such as 3-D printers, laser cutters and desktop machine tools are clearing a path for everyday citizens to design and build almost anything, a White House statement said.
While an annual student science fair has long been a staple on the White House calendar, Wednesday's celebration of the "maker movement" will expand on that idea as part of an ongoing effort to bolster the manufacturing sector. Mr. Obama, who has proclaimed Wednesday the "National Day of Making," said Tuesday that he wanted to bring innovators to the White House to share ideas and network, as well as to spotlight the work that they're doing.
"There is an entire movement across the country of people who are recognizing that with new technology, that the tinkerers, the people who are working in their garage, who are coming up with an idea, that the barriers to entry, they capital they'd have to put in to work up those ideas are now drastically reduced," the president said.
In fact, some of the exhibits that will be on display Wednesday got their start in garages, such as an underwater robot that can explore the world's oceans. Mr. Obama is expected to see several of the more than 30 innovations, including more comfortable walking crutches and do-it-yourself balloons that can help create aerial maps.
The White House is also announcing several private and public efforts that are expected to help makers start businesses.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A local radio personality received a big honor from the White House on Wednesday.
News 12's cameras were rolling as Minnesota Fattz received the National Service Award. President Barack Obama even wrote a formal letter to the radio host wishing him congratulations.
The honor comes as Fattz celebrates 30 years in business.
"I never imagined to be honored by such a high office -- the president of the United States of America. Honoring a personality in Augusta, Ga., for efforts of community service," Fattz said. "This honor it means so much to me. Out of 30 years of being in the business, this is one of the most amazing words in my career."
Fattz broadcasts to about 40,000 people every day. He's done a lot of good for the greater Augusta community along with his radio partner Cher Best.

Range Description
Cypripedium fasciculatum occurs in broad scattered locations, across eight states in western North America, from north central Washington south through Oregon to central California and east to the mountains of Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. The species is found mainly in the Klamath Mountains in the southwest corner of the Oregon State; Wasatch and High Uinta Mountains in Utah; Park and Front Ranges in Colorado; and the Medicine Bow and Park Ranges in Wyoming. The extent of occurrence (EOO) is estimated at 1,209,800 km² and the area of occupancy (AOO) is estimated at 400 km². It occurs between 900 m and 1,400 m asl.
Sources: Brownell and Catling 1987, Camon and Arnett 1991, Coleman 1989, Cribb 1997, Frosch and Cribb 2012, Kartesz 1994, and Luer 1975.
National Distribution
United States
Origin: Native
Regularity: Regularly occurring
Currently: Present
Confidence: Confident
Global Range: Washington to central California, and scattered throughout the Rocky Mountains in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado (Camon and Arnett 1991). It is reported to occur in southern British Columbia but apparently no longer occurs there, or was incorrectly reported as having occurred there (Brownell & Catling 1987).
Physical Description
Diagnostic Description
Cypripedium fasciculatum is a distinctive orchid which is easily identifiable in flower and fruit. Its leaves appear to be opposite but they are actually subopposite, joined to the stem almost but not exactly in the same spot about midway up the stem. Species in the genus LISTERA resemble this orchid but are much smaller, have prominent hairs, and flowers arranged in an elongate inflorescence.
Habitat and Ecology
Cypripedium fasciculatum has typical habitats that include mature coniferous forest, serpentine seeps and along streambanks but most frequently is found in mixed successional forests, mixed evergreen, mixed conifer, and Douglas-fir forests and in pine and black oak stands. The species prefers shade in dry to cool ultrabasic soils, granitic soils, schist, limestone and quartz-diorite, the habitat includes a rich organic layer that supports microflora as the species is strongly connected with mycorrhizal fungi. Populations have been reported from rocky to loamy soils in damp to dry sites but the species is rare in the swampy ground and on rocky places. The species flowers from April until August.

- Terrestrial
- Freshwater
Comments: C. fasciculatum is found on ultrabasic soils, granitics, schists, limestone and quartz-diorite. Populations have been reported from rocky to loamy soils in damp to dry sites. They are found in mixed evergreen, mixed conifer, and Douglas-fir forests and in pine and black oak stands. Populations are generally found in areas of from 60 -100% shade provided by tree canopy or shrubs (Rice 1984).
Population Biology
Number of Occurrences
Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.
Estimated Number of Occurrences: > 300
Comments: Of the 8 states where this species is reported, only one, California, does not actively computer track occurrences. Three states give it a state rank of "S3", four give it an "S2" and one an "S1". There are over 300 occurrences reported from Oregon (ORNHIC 2002). In 1997, 36 precise locations documented in 7 counties in Colorado.

Year Assessed
Cypripedium fasciculatum is scattered widely across eight states in western North America. Most of the subpopulations are small and large subpopulations occur only occasionally. The area of occupancy of C. fasciculatum is about 400 km2 and the species is under numerous threats, especially habitat destruction, tree harvesting, light regime disturbance, alteration of the moisture or temperature regime, browsing, grazing, trampling, road and trail construction, fire suppression and collection which cause a continuing decline of the species on all of the 7-10 estimated locations leading to the destruction of some subpopulations. The species is therefore assessed as Vulnerable (VU).
National NatureServe Conservation Status
United States
Rounded National Status Rank: N4 - Apparently Secure
NatureServe Conservation Status
Rounded Global Status Rank: G4 - Apparently Secure
Reasons: The species' large overall range and the number of known populations suggest that the taxon is not in immediate danger. However, the small size of most populations, their isolated nature, and the presence of conflicting land uses warrant concern for the species' long-term survival throughout its range.
Environmental Specificity: Moderate. Generalist or community with some key requirements scarce.
Comments: In CA, this species is mostly found in serpentine seeps and along streambanks.
It has been hypothesized that a species of fungus associated with deer or elk feces is required for seed germination. Cypripedium fasciculatum occurs in habitats that burn with some regularity (at least historically). The taxon may be able to survive a low intensity underburn, but not high intensity fires in areas where fuel loading is unnaturally high as a result of decades of fire suppression (WANHP 2002).
Cypripedium fasciculatum abundance may range from one to over 1,000. Over half of the subpopulations have fewer than 10 stems, over 90% have fewer than 100 stems and large populations occur only occasionally. The trend of the population is decreasing and some of the subpopulations are being destroyed due to many threats.
In California, approximately 66% of populations declined in size and 30% - 45% fell to zero, the population size is estimated to number 27 stems.
In Plumas National Forest in the Sierra Nevada and Pacific Northwest, the population size is over two thousand stems.
In Oregon and Washington, most subpopulations (96%) have stem counts less than 100, with most ranging between 1 and 20.
On Federal lands, the total number of extant sites is likely to be lower than indicated by the number of original sighting reports because some subpopulations have declined or dropped to zero.
In Wyoming, most subpopulations contain relatively few individuals but there is one with 1,000.
In Oregon, the population size is around 4,500.
In Colorado, the population size is around 10,000.
Sources: Carothers 2003, Fertig 2000, WYNHP 2002, Kaye and Cramer 2005.
Population Trend
Global Short Term Trend: Decline of 10-30%
Comments: Plants in Wyoming are possibly decreasing due to loss of habitat caused by logging. Recent findings may suggest that the species is more widespread in Wyoming than previously considered (Fertig 2000).
Global Long Term Trend: Decline of 30-50%
Comments: Plants in Wyoming are possibly decreasing due to loss of habitat caused by logging. Recent findings may suggest that the species is more widespread in Wyoming than previously considered (Fertig 2000).
Cypripedium fasciculatum is under numerous threats especially habitat destruction, tree harvest activities which can severely alter the light regime and forest floor, activities that alter the moisture or temperature regime, actions that disturb the soil and decrease vegetation cover, timbering, equipment use that can severely compact the soil, road and trail construction and fire suppression.
In addition to browsing, grazing sheep and/or cattle that put plants at risk of being trampled, collection by garden lovers and intensive recreational activities.
(Fertig 2000, Kaye and Cramer 2005, Latham and Hibbs 2001, Knecht 1996, Vance 2002).
Degree of Threat: High
Comments: This species is threatened by timbering, road construction, development, fire suppression, and collecting (Fertig 2000). Surface disturbances and canopy elimination may also negatively affect this species
Conservation Actions
All orchid species are included under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
This plant is listed by the U.S. Federal Government. However, the following actions are recommended to protect Cypripedium fasciculatum:
- Protection of the sites from habitat loss and disturbances, trampling and recreational activities.
- Protection of the sites by avoiding activities that alter or remove soil, duff, or the organic matter in the species habitat area.
- Fencing the vulnerable sites to protect the species from collection and herbivores.
- Sympathetic management of isolated populations.
- Manage sites to include entire populations plus an area large enough to maintain current habitat and associated microclimate, primarily temperature and moisture.
- Maintain sufficient cover to avoid any more than irregular direct solar radiation on the species and the forest floor.
- Fencing the species locations in order to capture dormant plants as they do not appear above ground every year.
- Maintain decayed down logs, snags, and duff layer within the species habitat area for favourable forest floor conditions, habitat, soil moisture and mycorrhizal associates.
- Fire management as the species cannot tolerate high-intensity fire that eliminates the duff layer.
- Raising public awareness.
- Protection of living individuals of the species through legislation and legal protection which ban the species being picked or dug up.
- Ex situ conservation: artificial propagation, re-introduction, seed collections.
- Monitoring and surveillance of the existing populations and sites.
- Estimation of population sizes and study their dynamics.

Cypripedium fasciculatum
Cypripedium fasciculatum is a member of the orchid genus Cypripedium. Members of this genus are commonly referred to as Lady's Slipper orchids.
C. fasciculatum, along with C. montanum and C. californicum, are the only members of the genus Cypripedium that are endemic to western North America.
C. fasciculatum has two plicate leaves that are usually near the ground, but can by elevated up to 15 cm in some individuals. Up to four flowers hang from a drooping stem; sometimes resting on the leaves or even on the ground. The petals and sepals are green to purplish-brown while the pouch is yellowish-green with purple streaking near the opening.
C. fasciculatum is found in the western United States in Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming.[1][2] It is usually found in cool, open coniferous forests, mostly in the mountains.

Strikes in either half from Dany N'Guessan and Spurs loanee Adam Smith, either side of a Jon Stead equaliser, were enough for the victory that brings the Lions back level on points with sixth-placed Watford.
The hosts were dominant for large spells and spurned a number of chances to put the game beyond doubt. But for Jackett, the result was by far the most important aspect of the afternoon.
"It's great to get a win after two losses, I'm very, very pleased with that," he said.
"Their keeper was far busier than ours and kept them in it with some excellent saves and we're very pleased with the victory.
"We were that dominant in the first half perhaps we could have been further ahead.
"Finishing is such a big part of the game. We could have been further ahead, you know that with the quality of their substitutes that the game is going to turn and they're going to cause you a problem.
"We responded very well after the equaliser and worked their keeper several times.
"I am very pleased for Adam Smith because throughout his Millwall career he has looked like breaking through from the back in either setting up or scoring a goal."

To make a long story short they sold me a 1999 Ford Explorer with 73,000 miles for $13,000. I needed a car at the time and they told me that it was a good deal so believed them and I signed the papers.
Now I have realized the mistake I made. Blue Book Value on this car is between $4,000.00 and $5,000.00 and they gave me a 29% interest rate on top of that for a grand total of $22,000.00.
Furthermore, I tried sending in payments that were larger than what was due to try to pay money on the principal. Of course they said I couldn't do that because the interest is accrued daily.
Drivetime targets people with bad credit and uses the opportunity to take advantage of their situation by making you think that you got a good deal. I think that this whole deal seems very unfair, does anyone else?

Hello there.
I'm having a slight problem with a template that i downloaded.
The problem that i am having is with the RSS widget syndication image. It appears to not style to the title of the widget itself.
The link to the site is: http://www.bladestalk.com/
If you look at the "latest news" column you will be able to notice the following:
1. in IE the syndication image appears as part of the "latest news" title. Sp much so you cannot see the "L"
2. In firefox the image appears just below the widget title.
I would like it to be just at the side of the title like the normal default template.
However i cannot seem to find the right part in the CSS file to do this.
Can anyone help please?
