text: Addressing Critical Business Issues Through Strategic Planning In the past we've talked about addressing risks, assumptions and impediments during strategic planning, but what about current critical business issues? Should those be solved outside the process of strategic planning or be brought into the strategic loop of business forethought? Strategic Planning Is Also About the Present, Not Just the Future Strategic planning is not just about an organization's future. Current critical business issues can also be strategic in terms of their immediate and long-term impacts and must be solved in harmony with the organization's strategy. H.L. Mencken said that "for every complex problem there is a simple solution… and it is always wrong." Critical business issues are usually tangled up with lots of business process, organizational structure and threads of the enterprise's strategy. The simple solution of assigning a task force, key executive, or consultant (or taking other ostensibly obvious steps) in times of urgency may not be the best approach to serving an organization's mission. Such isolated approaches to problem resolution can disconnect the solution from the integrated actions already underway or in development as part of the corporate strategic planning process. The present and the future tension existing between the tactical and the strategic should not be cause for concern. We have referred before to this "yin and yang" duality that always exists when strategic planning is done well. Both must be represented within the strategic plan in order for the programs comprised in the strategy to be both forward-thinking and remain realistic in addressing the immediate needs of the business (see #8 in our list of Eight Critical Success Factors For Improving Strategy Execution for more on this topic). This tension represents a dichotomy between solving immediate critical business problems, addressing basic organizational issues and other tactical short-term work to be accomplished in a balanced plan that also accommodates larger sweeping strategic initiatives. A good strategic planning process moves everyone out of their comfort zones, systematically challenges their own assumptions and leverages an un-biased prioritization approach to find the best strategy and sequencing of programs that support the organization's mission (see Managing Assumptions, Risks and Impediments In Strategic Planning). It is a fact that certain elements of strategy are dependent on having organizational impediments, risks and critical business issues addressed in order to pave the road for faster progress later on in the process. The reality is, strategic planning is also about the present, so identifying and addressing true critical business issues is the right course of action in most cases. What Constitutes A Critical Business Issue? A critical business issue can be thought of as "A problem or opportunity that is critical to the overall success of the organization". A simple rule of thumb for categorizing a problem as a critical business issue is to determine if two or more of the following are true: The problem is related to a core organizational function The problem affects a significant number of people directly or indirectly The problem is adversely affecting customers and/or key stakeholders, is promoting illegal activity or causing a break in regulatory compliance When taking action on such a problem is tantamount to the overall success of the organization, it constitutes that the issue not only be considered for its criticality, but also its strategic implications. When critical business issues have strategic implications, they need to be addressed as part of organizational strategy and not in some disconnected loop that operates outside of the planning process and strategy governance structure (see more about The Office of Strategy Management). Leverage Your SWOT Analysis To Identify Critical Issues Organizations should proactively be seeking to identify critical business issues as a part of their planning process. Since most companies already utilize some form of SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) analysis, that can be a starting point for targeting critical issues as a part of the planning cycle. SWOT, which has been in use since the 1960s, is a simple tool that can help companies address critical problems (perhaps addressing an area of weakness) by building on strengths and/or opportunities. Strengths are characteristics of the business that give it an advantage over others. In the SWOT context, weaknesses are characteristics that place the organization at a disadvantage relative to others. Opportunities are therefore elements or core competencies that the can be leveraged to the businesses advantage. A critical business issue could also be identified as a current (actual) or potential (risk) gap between the company's business performance and one of the following: A key competition's performance Customer's expectations Executive's performance expectations Likewise, an opportunity might exist to make significant improvements in a business area currently experiencing no performance problems – but at risk of decline based on market intelligence. In some cases, the critical business issue can be very large-scale, requiring the implementation of a major change in the organization. Policy and Process Example Las Vegas Sands Corp. has overhauled its compliance procedures to address potential money-laundering schemes tied to international bank transfers. The company added ex-FBI agents with the right expertise to help strengthen an area of weakness and has made significant process changes to address the critical business issue. Market Trend Example Dell, the personal-computer maker that lost almost a third of its value last year, is said to be in the process of a leveraged-buyout to take the company private. The critical business issue Dell faces is a rapidly declining PC market in recent years as consumers shun desktop and laptops in favor of tablets and smartphones. The strategy is to go private to allow the company time to overall its business and begin focusing primarily on B2B computer sales as well as IT services. Recap Strategic planning is not just about an organization's future. It is also about what is causing the organization pain at this moment. By planning strategically and refreshing plans operationally in shorter cycles, strategic critical business issues can be addressed as a part of the overall strategy and not in disconnected "special-projects" loops. *** Resources for Taking Action Free Strategic Planning Article Compilations and PDFs: 1 Free access to the Strategic Planning Monthly: Archive 2 Free Online Strategic Planning Articles Library 3 Free Strategic Planning PDF Downloads 4 Information about Strategic Planning Learning and Development Programs January 26, 2013 by Joe Evans 1 comment 7199 viewson Strategic Planning Share this post Facebook Twitter Google plus Linkedin Mail this article Print this article Next: The Leader's Climb – Part 1 Previous: Dan Pink – Unscripted

New York Jets fullback John Conner has earned the nickname 'The Terminator' due to the bone jarring hits he delivers to opponents. While New York's third-year blocking back is flattered by the moniker, he doesn't want to be regarded strictly as a one-dimensional player.
"I'm glad that I can take on more of a role in the offense," said Conner. "I try to be as versatile as possible. I don't just want to be a blocking fullback. I want to be able to run the ball and catch the ball out of the backfield. I just want to be able to do it all for the team."
In his first season with the Jets, offensive coordinator Tony Sparano has the pedal to the metal during training camp as he urges his offensive unit to play at a faster pace.
"From last year, it's like night and day, the tempo is a lot higher he expects a lot more from us," noted Conner of the Jets new offense. It's going to make us better in the long run."
Under former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, New York abandoned the ground-and-pound system that carried it to back-to-back AFC Championship games; instead opting for a more 'pass happy' offense in 2011. This year the Jets are harkening back to their rushing glory days, much to the delight of their burly fullback.
"That's really exciting for me, claimed Conner. "You look at our team that's what we're built for. We have a great offensive line and good strong backs that can mix speed with power, so it's great for our offense."
A major part of New York's plan to revert back to a run-first team involves the addition of Wildcat quarterback Tim Tebow. With the world's most interesting backup signal-caller expected to see snaps at fullback, Conner doesn't appeared threatened by Tebow's presence in camp.
"Whatever's going to help our team out, admitted Conner. "We got him, he's a great football player, he can do it all. He's a very versatile guy, you see him lining up there on special teams, I think he's great."
Fresh off the most disappointing season of Rex Ryan's head coaching tenure, the Jets (Antonio Cromartie notwithstanding) are focused on chalk talk not smack talk this year.
"That's our swag going into this year. We want to show it on the field and show it with our pads. And not to do as much talking, just go out there and show it."

text: Vleeshuis means Butchers' hall and this building was originally the only place in the city where meat could be sold in the 16th century. This late-Gothic Guild house (1501-1504) has a chapel, a banqueting hall, a meeting room and a kitchen. It's a great example of the grand class architecture in Antwerp. Nowadays it functions has a museum for all kind of historic instruments . Two of Antwerp's most important industries and artistic crafts are highlighted, i.e. the building of retables and harpsichords, as well as the pottery industry and the manufacture of art cabinets. The Vleeshuis is the oldest public building in the city.

Chapter Four
They were very close to arriving at their destination, or so Michael told them. There was no GPS or phone involved in getting there, but Michael said that he knew the way. And so far, it seemed that he was right. The city was in sight, and so was the university. Teri had no idea about how cities worked, therefore not having any idea where they would park, either. She grew in what you could call a small neighborhood, at most.
"This looks exactly like where I used to live," Michael said as they entered the city.
He pulled them up to the university's curb, and let the two girls jump out to wait there. Teri waved at him through the window as he drove away to find a place to park. The short-haired brunette turned to her best friend and said,
"I'm so excited...Ugh."
Haylee had her phone out, checking on one of those stupid games that her friend never had time for. Teri spotted a smile forming on her friend's lips and grinned as well. Glancing around, she spotted several large vehicles, all lined up on the curb across from the girls. The one in front she recognized immediately. It was their favorite band's tour bus; a gray-ish brown, smooth-looking bus with large, heavily tinted windows.
Teri's first thought was:
Can we go in? Which, of course, she knew the answer to.
No. What made her so special from anyone else that she could go inside? Nothing. Beside her, Haylee followed her gaze and obviously had the same thought, but did say something that surprised Teri.
"I'm going to get to meet the band after the concert."
Teri's breathing nearly stopped at that moment. Her heart sure felt like it stopped beating.
"What," Teri could feel her jaw drop.
Haylee let a huge grin split her face.
"I've been waiting forever to tell you. Like, since I bought the ticket."
That was right. The three friends had bought the tickets separately from each other. First, Haylee had planned to go by herself, but what fun would that have been if her best friend wasn't beside her, screaming the songs with her? So, she urged Teri to buy a ticket. Then, that day in the park the two girls had invited Teri's boyfriend along. Haylee must have gotten a VIP pass to go backstage.
"I wonder how much that costed."
This made Haylee click off her phone and smile even wider.
"Double the cost of yours, most likely. I mean, we're sitting together, but this ticket also pays for me getting backstage."
Haylee flipped her hair over her shoulder in a jokingly dramatic manner. The action Haylee used to mock most of the girls at her school (who were so full of themselves they could burst) made Teri snort and roll her eyes.
"You are so lucky. Like, you have no idea. I would kill to have one of those tickets."
To add emphasis to her whole 'killing' statement, she stared at Haylee's pocket where the ticket was located, her face twisted into a savage expression. Jokingly, of course, for she raised her gaze once more to her friend, waving her hand and laughing.
"So. Where are we going now? Or do we wait here for Michael?"
Something told her Michael wouldn't have just left if he hadn't thought that they would stay there. How else would he know where they were?
"Well duh," Haylee said, repeating Teri's thoughts, "how could he know where we were?"
"True," she replied, taking a seat on the steps leading into the university. There were a couple other people standing under the concrete awning, but so far nobody else had showed up for the concert.
"What time is it?" Teri asked.
Once again Haylee pulled out her phone.
"5:50. We only have, like, thirty minutes before I want to be in line. I say we just stay here."
Haylee clicked back into the game, checking up on it.
"No way. We're in the city. We should do something fun."
This made Haylee snort.
"Maybe we should just let Michael decide when he gets back."
Michael grew up in the city. He'd probably want the same thing as Teri: to explore a bit. Then again, what if he thought Haylee was right? Thirty minutes wasn't much time to spend looking around a city, and if they were pretty much the first people in line, wasn't that better? She shrugged.
Whatever. Teri thought as she saw Michael walking at a brisk pace toward them. He must have found a place to park. But where, in this huge city, was there to park? It didn't have normal parking lots, located in front of the buildings, and all of the parking lots that she could see were restricted for university folks.
"Hi guys," Michael puffed as he caught up to them, "I finally found somewhere."
He pointed to where he came from before adding, "It's not far."
"Okay," Haylee started, "We have about twenty-two minutes to kill, now. Should we stay here or explore?"
Raising an eyebrow toward Teri, Michael seemed very conflicted, and was unsure which was the 'right' choice. He sat down on the other side of Teri and leaned his forearms on their corresponding legs, thinking.
"Well, twenty-two minutes doesn't sound like long enough to see anything."
There was disappointment in his voice. Teri felt a little disappointed herself.
"And we have to leave right after the concert…" she frowned.
"Not necessarily," he smirked at her, his head tilted, "The nightlife of a city is even better than daytime or evening. More beautiful and interesting, that is."
"And dangerous," Haylee added.
"Bear in mind I grew up in a city. Am I still alive and well?"
His rhetorical question made Haylee's face visibly twitch, as if it irked her. It was so unlike Haylee, being irked by a hot guy. An extremely long awkward moment of silence hung between the three before Teri decided that the friends shouldn't be angry just before seeing a concert.
"Is this your first time?" she asked Michael.
On the other side of her, she heard a really loud laugh escape Haylee.
"Oh, shut up. You know I didn't mean it like that."
Turning back to her chuckling boyfriend, she corrected herself, "Is this your first concert?"
"Yeah. I like the two bands playing."
"You like everything," Haylee chimed in, trying to suppress another burst of laughter.
"I do not. For example, I like Imagine Dragons. I don't like Taylor Swift. Well, besides Trouble… Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground… OH!"
The only thing that stopped him from continuing the song was the fact that during the oh, his voice cracked. Teri nearly toppled down the steps, she was laughing so hard. Haylee had her head leaned back, cackling along with Teri. Meanwhile, Michael was just sitting, staring at the two girls, a smile set upon his face.
"Ohh…" Teri started after finally calming down, "That's great."
"Yeah." Haylee said, pulling out her phone and checked the time, saying, "It's twenty after. We should get in line."
The trio stood up and headed toward the doors. The others from earlier were already in line, but only about five people were lined up.
It wasn't a very long wait before the three of them were allowed to enter the building, using the tickets that were purchased beforehand to get inside. Agreeing to use the bathrooms first, Michael broke off from the girls and headed toward the men's.
Apparently a university's bathrooms are much better than any other public bathrooms, with all of their fanciness and cleanliness. The two finished quickly and headed out, where they met a waiting Michael. Rounding the corner, they came across the shirt booth, food booth, drink booth, and much more. The only thing Teri really came for was the shirts, so that's where they headed.
The line was long. There had to have been about thirty people in line, and the shirts didn't look like they were an endless supply.
Will we even get one? Fretted Teri. It took less time for the line to move up than she expected. Nearing the booth, they could finally get a good look at the shirts.
"I want the uh… Wait, should we match? All three of us?"
Teri squinted at the shirt she wanted. It was black with the band logo printed in white on the front, the name of the band below that.
"I want that one," she said, pointing.
"Same," Michael agreed, and Haylee seemed satisfied with it as well.
They soon bought it and went back to the bathrooms to change, about twenty minutes left until the concert started.
Teri had to admit, after putting the shirt on, she felt ecstatic. Practically running out the bathroom, she jumped into Michael's arms.
"Thank you so much for coming. I can't imagine being anywhere else than right here right now. This is great." Her throat closed with being so excited, and her face twisted up. "I just can't believe it."
He chuckled and hugged her closely.
"You're very welcome."
And with that, they all headed for their seats. They were about in the very center - a good place to be.
It took a while for the lights to finally dim and for the opening band to appear on stage. At first, Haylee thought that they were the band they came to see, and was searching for Dan. Just another one of her blonde moments. The opening band's songs were quite good; Teri liked them. Of course, she had heard one of the songs before and knew the band. When the time came for the band they loved to walk onto the stage, Teri couldn't help but screaming.

U.S. Ryder Cup team will be like wounded animal: McGinley
DUBLIN (Reuters) - Tom Watson's United States team will go into the 2014 Ryder Cup in Scotland "like a wounded animal" after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Illinois two years ago, said Europe captain Paul McGinley.
The Americans, under skipper Watson's predecessor Davis Love III, had one hand on the trophy when they took a 10-6 lead into the final day at Medinah, only for Jose Maria Olazabal's side to stage a remarkable comeback to win by 14 1/2 points to 13 1/2.
"All three of us are under no illusions how strong the American team is going to be," McGinley told reporters on Thursday after naming fellow Irishman Des Smyth and 2002 skipper Sam Torrance as his deputies.
"They're going to be very well led by Tom Watson and we know we're up against it. They're like a wounded animal after what happened at Medinah and they will be a highly-motivated team.
"But that's good. It's a real challenge to look forward to and it's what makes the Ryder Cup so special," added McGinley.
Torrance, 60, holds the record for the most tournament appearances on the European Tour with 706 and has a proud Ryder Cup history.
The Scot holed the winning putt at The Belfry in 1985 when Europe ended a 28-year victory drought and appeared in the biennial team event eight times in a row between 1981-95.
"The main guys that Paul would want in his team have all had a good start to the year and it's all bubbling along nicely," said Torrance.
"We've got one rookie virtually guaranteed a place in Victor Dubuisson and he looks fantastic. He is a breath of fresh air and to have a rookie as strong as that is great news." Continued...

Image of Oldgrowth Specklebelly Lichen
Like all lichens, this plant is a fungus and an alga growing as a unit. It is large (5 to 12 cm across), broad-lobed, and loosely attached. The dull upper surface is a pale greenish-blue that is usually smooth, although short stiff hairs may appear and make it feel rough. The top is also often weakly dimpled. This is the only North American lichen with a spotted lower surface (tiny white spots on a pale brownish background), a white medulla, and torn lobe margins. The underneath is also wrinkled and matted with short tufts of hair. The lobes are short to elongate, thin, stiff and brittle; they loosely overlap and measure 1.5 to 3 cm across.
Distribution and Population
The species is endemic to the Pacific Northwest. It is known to occur in six locations in Canada, all of them in British Columbia. It is more widely distributed in Washington and Oregon. Of the Canadian sites, only one, located in the upper Chilliwack Valley, has been verified recently. Two other populations are likely extirpated, and the status of the remaining three locations is not known. In at least two locations, the populations consist of a single plant. About half the specimens recently examined showed signs of environmental stress. Although they contained reproductive organs, they evidently were having very low reproductive success compared with southern specimens.
The plant is restricted in Canada to sheltered old-growth forest ecosystems in British Columbia. It is found at low to moderate elevations in the Coastal Western Hemlock zone. It occupies at least five of the ten sub-zones, which suggests that the plant is widely but sparsely distributed. It colonizes a wide assortment of trees and shrubs, but occurs most frequently on conifers. It is very slow at becoming established, but can become locally abundant with time. The climatic conditions of the habitat in B.C. are highly oceanic and markedly humid. Associated species include Sword Fern, False Azalea, Alaska Blueberry, Oval-leaf Blueberry and Dwarf Dogwood.
Although the plants possess sexual organs, their reproduction seems to occur through vegetative means, by the production and dispersal of spores. The spores can be dispersed by water, wind or animals. Migratory birds likely carry spores long distances in their feathers and on their feet.
Natural causes of mortality in this species include fire, wind, and insect outbreaks. Prolonged periods of wet weather may also be damaging. Selective harvesting and forest clearing are the only activities likely to affect the species throughout its range. The lichen is highly sensitive to logging, which is blamed for the extirpation of one population on Vancouver Island. It is not likely to become established in the plantation forests that are replacing old-growth forests in many portions of coastal British Columbia. Global warming and deteriorating air quality could become limiting factors.
Federal ProtectionMore information about SARA, including how it protects individual species, is available in the Species at Risk Act: A Guide.
A recently confirmed population occurs in an ecological reserve and is protected by the Ecological Reserves Act. Other sites, situated on crown lands managed by the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, are vulnerable to logging.
Provincial and Territorial Protection
To know if this species is protected by provincial or territorial laws, consult the provinces' and territories' websites.
PLEASE NOTE: Not all COSEWIC reports are currently available on the SARA Public Registry. Most of the reports not yet available are status reports for species assessed by COSEWIC prior to May 2002. Other COSEWIC reports not yet available may include those species assessed as Extinct, Data Deficient or Not at Risk. In the meantime, they are available on request from the COSEWIC Secretariat.

COSEWIC Status Reports
COSEWIC Assessment and Status Report on the Oldgrowth Specklebelly Pseudocyphellaria rainierensis in Canada (2010)The Oldgrowth Specklebelly lichen (Pseudocyphellaria rainierensis Imsh.) is a distinctive macrolichen characterized by large, draping, curtain-like lobes, a pale greenish-blue upper surface, a green algal photobiont (accompanied by a cyanobacterial photobiont in the form of internal cephalodia), ragged, lobulate to isidiate lobe margins, and a pale lower surface bearing scattered small white spots (pseudocyphellae).
COSEWIC Assessments
COSEWIC Assessment Summary and Status Report: Oldgrowth Specklebelly Pseudocyphellaria rainierensis (2010)Assessment Summary – April 2010 Common nameOldgrowth Specklebelly Scientific name Pseudocyphellaria rainierensis StatusSpecial Concern Reason for designationThis foliose, tree–inhabiting lichen is endemic to old–growth rainforests of western North America. In Canada, it is limited to coastal or near–coastal areas of southern British Columbia. Recent discoveries of additional records have only slightly expanded the known range of occurrence, and the lichen remains threatened by ongoing loss of old growth forests through clear–cut logging. The low dispersal ability of its heavy propagules contributes to its rarity, as does its restriction to nutrient hotspots, such as dripzones under old Yellow–cedars, toe slope positions, and sheltered seaside forests. It tends to occur discontinuously and on very few trees in the stands where it is established. OccurrenceBritish Columbia Status historyDesignated Special Concern in April 1996. Status re–examined and confirmed in April 2010.
Response Statements
Action Plans
Multi-species Action Plan for Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, and Haida Heritage Site (2016)The Multi-species Action Plan for Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, and Haida Heritage Site meets the requirements for an action plan set out in the Species at Risk Act (SARA (s.47)) for species requiring an action plan that occur inside the boundary of the site. This action plan will be updated to more comprehensively include measures to conserve and recover the marine species at risk once the first integrated Land, Sea, People management plan for Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve & Haida Heritage Site (hereafter called Gwaii Haanas) is complete. Measures described in this plan will also provide benefits for other species of conservation concern that regularly occur in Gwaii Haanas.
Management Plans
Management Plan for the Oldgrowth Specklebelly Lichen (Pseudocyphellaria rainierensis) in Canada (2017)The Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for the Parks Canada Agency is the competent minister under SARA for the Oldgrowth Specklebelly Lichen and has prepared the federal component of this management plan (Part 1) as per section 65 of SARA. To the extent possible, it has been prepared in cooperation with the Province of British Columbia. SARA section 69 allows the Minister to adopt all or part of an existing plan for the species if the Minister is of the opinion that an existing plan relating to wildlife species includes adequate measures for the conservation of the species. The Province of British Columbia provided the attached management plan for the Oldgrowth Specklebelly Lichen (Part 2) as science advice to the jurisdictions responsible for managing the species in British Columbia. It was prepared in cooperation with Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Parks Canada Agency.
Order Acknowledging Receipt of the Assessments Done Pursuant to Subsection 23(1) of the Act (2011)His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of the Environment, hereby acknowledges receipt, on the making of this Order, of assessments conducted under subsection 23(1) of the Species at Risk Act by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada with respect to the species set out in the annexed schedule.
COSEWIC Annual Reports
COSEWIC Annual Report - 2010 (2010)Under Canada's Species At Risk Act (SARA), the foremost function of COSEWIC is to "assess the status of each wildlife species considered by COSEWIC to be at risk and, as part of the assessment, identify existing and potential threats to the species". During the past year, COSEWIC held two Wildlife Species Assessment Meetings and reviewed the status of 79 wildlife species (species, subspecies, populations). During the meeting of November 2009, COSEWIC assessed or reviewed the classification of the status of 28 wildlife species. COSEWIC assessed or reviewed the classification of an additional 51 wildlife species (species, subspecies and populations) during their April 2010 meeting. For species already found on Schedule 1 of SARA, the classification of 32 species was reviewed by COSEWIC and the status of the wildlife species was confirmed to be in the same category (extirpated - no longer found in the wild in Canada but occurring elsewhere, endangered, threatened or of special concern). The wildlife species assessment results for the 2009-2010 reporting period include the following: Extirpated: 6 Endangered: 39 Threatened: 16 Special Concern: 17 Data Deficient: 1 This report transmits to the Minister the status of 46 species newly classified as extirpated, endangered, threatened or of special concern, fulfilling COSEWIC's obligations under SARA Section 24 and 25. A full detailed summary of the assessment for each species and the reason for the designation can be found in Appendix I of the attached report. Since its inception, COSEWIC has assessed 602 wildlife species in various risk categories, including 262 Endangered, 151 Threatened, 166 Special Concern and 23 Extirpated. In addition, 13 wildlife species have been assessed as Extinct. Also, to date, 46 wildlife species have been identified by COSEWIC as Data Deficient and 166 wildlife species were assessed as Not at Risk. This year has been a particularly productive year for COSEWIC's Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) Subcommittee. In April 2010 COSEWIC approved the Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge Process and Protocol Guidelines, providing clear and agreed principles for the gathering of Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge to carry out COSEWIC functions as required under Section 15(2) of SARA (See Appendix III of the attached report). We are grateful for the rich and enthusiastic contribution made by community elders and experts in helping the ATK Subcommittee prepare the ATK protocols.
Consultation Documents
Consultation on Amending the List of Species under the Species at Risk Act: Terrestrial Species – November 2010 (2010)As part of its strategy for protecting wildlife species at risk, the Government of Canada proclaimed the Species at Risk Act (SARA) on June 5, 2003. Attached to the Act is Schedule 1, the list of the species that receive protection under SARA, also called the List of Wildlife Species at Risk. Please submit your comments by February 4, 2011 for species undergoing normal consultations and by February 4, 2012 for species undergoing extended consultations.
Recovery Document Posting Plans
Environment and Climate Change Canada's Three-Year Recovery Document Posting Plan (2016)Environment and Climate Change Canada's Three-Year Recovery Document Posting Plan identifies the species for which recovery documents will be posted each fiscal year starting in 2014-2015. Posting this three year plan on the Species at Risk Public Registry is intended to provide transparency to partners, stakeholders, and the public about Environment and Climate Change Canada's plan to develop and post these proposed recovery strategies and management plans. However, both the number of documents and the particular species that are posted in a given year may change slightly due to a variety of circumstances. Last update March 31, 2017

American Notes
Blake Gopnik,"Points of Departure," Washington Post, 1 June, reviews two exhibits in Washington, DC: Jacob Lawrence's"Migration," a rare display of all 60 panels of his series at The Phillips Collection; and"Aaron Douglas: African American Modernist," an exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
George F. Will,"Caesaropapism Rampant," Newsweek, 2 June, argues that American romanticism about presidential leadership leads, inevitably, to disillusionment. In"Caesarism will do just fine," Eunomia, 26 May, our colleague, Daniel Larison, explains that George Will hasn't the faintest idea what" caesaropapism" is.
Finally, have a look at"United States History" on Cliopatria's History Blogroll. Had you asked me two years ago what was the fastest growing interest in the history blogosphere, I would probably have said"Military History." But that growth was largely fed by massive interest in the American Civil War. In the last 18 months, the American history blogosphere has grown dramatically. For American urban historians, there are blogs about Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. There are excellent blogs about American intellectual, legal, political and religious history. It's a feast!

I have no problem with the setup of the lists. I just wanted to note the drift of my H&E history posts.
Ralph E. Luker - 6/2/2008
It seemed preferable to me to split your two blogs between two different blog lists, Tim. So, History and Education is listed among Historians Who Write about Many Things, while the Intellectual History blog is listed among United States History. I can change that if you wish, but I don't know that much is gained by it.
Tim Lacy - 6/2/2008
While I write on a variety of history and education-related topics at "History and Education: Past and Present," my history posts are related to the U.S. about 90 percent of the time.

Ok, today I just wanted to stop in for a moment and share my new blog look. It's not an extremely awesome blog makeover, but bear with me as I am trying to do some of the redesign on my own. I must say that I am overjoyed by my new header, which was made by the "fabulous" Ms. Ashley over at "Her Baking Place!"
Ashley is a wonderful blogger and an up-and-coming blog designer, and I must say that she is definitely on her way to big things in the blog design community. She took my non-idea and turned it into a very wonderful, very "me" header, and in no time at all I might add. She is very kind and understanding, and her prices are extremely reasonable for any blog elements that you may want to have done.
Thank you so very much Ashley for making me such a nice blog header, and I will probably be back in the future for another makeover!!!
Please hop on over to Ashley's blogs "Her Baking Place" & "Ashley's Blog Designs" for some amazing recipes and blog design, and see what she has to offer. You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll say this about Ivy League football - it's very sound fundamental football. Not a lot of mental mistakes. They aren't as athletically gifted as D-1 players are, but they play very well. Princeton has a punter that could play for any D-1 team. He didn't punt much, but the three punts he had were 50+ yards with tons of hang time.

text: What do these changes mean for supplies made to insurers, scheme operators and Australian government agencies? Certain health-related supplies are GST-free, including most medical services, hospital treatments and other health services. Commonly, a health-related supply is GST-free when it is for the treatment of the recipient (that is, an individual). In some instances, these supplies are made under multi-party arrangements, where GST-free health-related goods or services are supplied to an individual (the underlying supply) which results in the supplier making a further supply to a third party. Where the third party is an insurer, an operator of a statutory compensation scheme, a compulsory third party scheme operator, or an Australian government agency, this supply is also GST-free. Prior to the enactment of the Tax and Superannuation Laws Amendment (2012 Measures No. 1) Act 2012 such health-related supplies to these third parties may have been subject to GST as the supply was not for the treatment of the recipient (that is, the insurer, scheme operator, or Australian government agency). The legislative amendment means that the supply made to the insurer, scheme operator, or Australian government agency in these circumstances is GST-free, to the extent that the underlying supply provided to the individual is GST-free.

Decide to go on the march
Since you decided to go on the march, you are placed in a line with only Filipinos in it. You begin to think that going on the march was a bad decision, but you can't back out now. As you begin to walk in the line, a Japanese guard comes up to you and asks for your name, you refuse to give it to him. The Japanese guard just walks away with a sigh. Suddenly, more guards come up to you and pull you out of line. They start asking where your wallet is and start searching your clothing. What do you do?

Hello To Whom it may concern,
I usually do twitch show every monday, wednesday, and friday and when I go to check how well I am doing on twitch as comparded to the other streamers I can see myself along with everyone else usually on the live from playstation app. Yet as of recent whenever I stream I am not making the live from playstation app even though I have sufficent amount of viewers to be on there. My friends list can see me but not everyone on ps4 with live from plasystation. So I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and could help me out and tell me how to fix this so I may grow my channel.
Thank you
Re: Twitch
My guess is that it has to do with your privacy settings. If you have it set so only friends can contact you, maybe only friends can watch you as well.
Contact Sony support - Live Chat or 1-800-345-7669
Re: Twitch[ Edited ]
I've actually had this issue as a viewer. I would see through my friend's activites that he was streaming, but when I went to his channel, it would say "This broadcast has been stopped". I later tried to look up his channel on the search engine and the list of other channels through "Live with Playstation" and he would not show up on either of them. He later got in a Party Chat with me and a friend and the friend gave an idea for him to change his video quality from Best HD to Best Quality. After he changed the video quality, I was able to search and view his stream through the "Live with Playstation" app and was able to view his stream through his activites too. Try this fix and see if this works out for you. I've already called support and had them look at this "Best HD Quality" bug themselves to see if they can possibly recreate this issue and have it fixed with the next patch that comes out.

Not fuzzy, here, either, OC.
What a bright and sunny photo. Makes me think that spring can't be too
far away even here in the frozen north!
After above zero C temps the last couple of weeks we hit a high today of
-8 with a cold north wind. Amazing how quickly we forget how cold it
can get so quickly.
Thanks for renewing my faith that spring will come eventually.

Dutch-Belgian firm DSH Derks Star Busmann Hanotiau has become the third international firm – after Shearman & Sterling and Clifford Chance – to establish a permanent base in Dusseldorf.
From the start of next year, Ton Heebing, a dual Dutch-German-qualified partner in the firm's Arnheim office, will be stationed in the city on a full-time basis.
The office is the firm's second in Germany after Berlin.
Joseph Hermes, a German lawyer in Derks' Berlin office, said: "As the only Dutch firm in Germany, it was a natural thing to extend the practice."
He explained that the firm has had a temporary presence in the city since the start of the year when it merged with a small Arnheim-based practice, Winters & Bosnak.
Winters set up in Dusseldorf about four years ago. However, its operations were fairly low-key, as Hermes explained: "The office is not presently staffed on a 24-hour, seven days a week basis." Heebing travels between the Netherlands and Dusseldorf as necessary.
The upgrading of the office highlights the growing importance of Dusseldorf, a major industrial city, as a legal centre in Germany.
Gustav-Rudolf Schlieper, a partner at Clifford Chance's office, which opened in August, said: "Frankfurt is the banking centre in Germany while Dusseldorf is the industrial centre, with numerous big companies based there. It is also the centre of the coal and steel industries."
Although he was unaware that Derks had recently set up an office in Dusseldorf, Schlieper predicted that more foreign firms would move there soon.

Hi folks...Did a bit of searching, but didn't find my answer. I have a 2003 Rubicon that I am putting a lift on (thanks to those of you out there that helped me with my broken bolt problems). Does anyone know the stock size of the transfer case bolts through the skid plate? Diameter and length. I am heading out to the store and want to grab replacement bolts and washers in case I need to drop the case down. Thanks!
This is the thread you are looking for:
I am not sure if your ride would fall into a SAE or metric thread. Somewhere in those years they changed over. My 2000 TJ is SAE. Best of luck.
Thanks....Looks like I gave up too quick!
There are so many threads and I had the same question that I remember asking awhile ago. Jerry is super knowledgeable and helpful if you have not noticed yet.
Everytime I read a string and I see that he weighed in I feel alot more comfortable. Yes I have noticed that!:punk:
The 241...does not need or require an SYE upgrade. ;)
TJs were not all the same . If I remember correctly 97-02 were 1/2" with 13 thread and 03-06 were metric I think 12mm but can't remember the thread pitch . Their is a recent thread on jeep forum about this and nutsert problems in the TJ section if you care to check it out .

Richard grew up knowing he was different. While being routinely caned at school and mercilessly flogged at home, he became fluent in French at 11, was a county-level athlete in his teens and could pull off 100 breaks at snooker. Yet it wasn't talent that made him unusual, so much as a deep-seated sense of isolation.
He has an infant memory of placing marbles on the record player and watching them revolve interminably: an early presentiment of obsessive behaviours that would stay with him into adulthood. Looking back, there was plenty of evidence to pin some of this on his father, who was of the 50s "spare the rod, spoil the child" school of parenting. Aged 15, Richard turned up at the morgue to identify the body after his dad died in a car accident, and for years he told people he'd done so "to make sure the bastard was dead".
Yet Richard doesn't think his parents had much to do with the way he was. He recently asked his mother why his dad hadn't loved him, and she replied, "He did; he just didn't know how to deal with you." Despite intensive analysis of his childhood, Richard feels there was something in his solipsism and bitterness that was merely inherent. His last act on leaving school was to punch every boy he had disliked.
A characteristic that Richard does feel he learned from his father, however, was an obsession with manners - a hallmark of the charm he bore through the shoplifting, gang-fighting, drug-taking, sexual promiscuity and mental collapses of his early youth. He had lots of acquaintances, but no friends. Lying compulsively, he created charismatic personas of himself that then imploded into paranoia. First admitted to a psychiatric ward at 18, he was later diagnosed as a sociopath.
These days, the idea of sociopathy comes under the general category of antisocial personality disorder, one that makes no particular distinction between a sociopath and a psychopath. The official Hare checklist for psychopathic features includes superficial charm, excessive need for stimulation, pathological lying, lack of empathy, criminal versatility and early behaviour problems - all of which would fit Richard's younger self. Psychiatrically, it's considered to be a chronic trait of character; which is to say, untreatable.
Yet Richard found the label to be an accurate enough description of the void he felt himself to be. "It actually gave me something to hold on to," he says. And in the long run it represented something he could overcome.
For three years in the 70s, Richard joined the hippy trail, discovering opiates along the way. But he was never addicted to one particular drug so much as the sensation that any drug could provide to fill the void. Back home in Leicester, he trained as a chef and became a three-bottle-a-day whisky man, before an ulcer burst and left him in hospital for nine weeks. Coming out, he got involved in an importing scam and went to prison for nine months. Marriages came and went, as did children, and he struggled to form emotional attachments.
At 35, Richard started a psychology degree, and though student life allowed him to indulge himself almost to death, his native talents saw him race effortlessly through the work. Again, he got a woman pregnant, but now the thought of being rejected by another child came like an ultimatum.
At first, it wasn't a warning that Richard knew how to heed. Coming out of jail for the second time, he began injecting 4-5g of amphetamines daily. Then he boarded up his flat, found a knife and wandered into the night in his underpants, intent on killing someone.
Instead of prison, however, he found himself in the detox unit of a psychiatric hospital, and began an 18-month period of psychotherapy during which for the first time he wept over the death of his father. It was then, in the early 90s, that he met a social worker from a substance misuse team who wrote a letter to the DSS saying that in the future, he believed he'd be calling this man "colleague".
Richard started going into schools to talk as the "token ex-junkie", and parents started applauding him. Then he got a job working with multi-sensory deprivation patients. Every day, he would spend time stroking the arm of a man who was blind, deaf and dumb. For six months, he received no response. Then, one day, the man raised his head and smiled.
"That," Richard says, "was enormous for me. He unlocked a door. If I could get through to him, I could get through to myself."
In his 40s, Richard's career, both as a care worker and as a serious human being, took off. "I started to acquire feelings," he says. "I started to have a social conscience. I started to see my place in the scheme of things."

Oak Park-River Forest Day Nursery gets a $25K gift from local donor
One good turn deserves another — even seven decades later.
That's what happened when local businesswoman and philanthropist Chatka Ruggiero recently paid a visit to the Oak Park-River Forest Day Nursery to present them with a $25,000 check.
It was her way of honoring her own circumstances years ago as her mom had to go back to work after her dad was called into military service in the 1940s.
"I heard about their centennial celebration's capital campaign, and that is when I remembered that during WWII — that was a long time ago — my father, Harry Busck, who was 35 at the time, was obligated to do war work out in Lake Michigan on a ship."
As a result, her mother, Lora Aborn Busck, an accomplished musician and composer, and longtime organist and music director at the Unity Temple Universalist Congregation in Oak Park, took over his bookselling business in Chicago.
"My mother had to find someone to watch me. So I remember going to the Day Nursery … and sitting in a sand box," Ruggiero recalled, laughing. "I don't remember much else, but I do remember the sand box."
Since then, Ruggiero, owner of Ruggiero Apartments in River Forest and the Arts Center, 200 N. Oak Park Ave., has chosen to practice philanthropy, believing it her civic obligation and personal privilege to give back to the two communities that enabled her to prosper.
In the 1970s, with other like-minded locals, she addressed some turbulent times that affected the Oak Park apartment market, and the community at large. At the time, multifamily buildings in the Austin area were distressed and deteriorating, and blight was a threat, so she began collaborating with a coalition of individuals in business and local government to purchase and renovate at-risk properties.
"We were all able to do a lot along Austin Boulevard," said Ruggiero, now in her 70s. "The village offered security grants to put in better locks and security and intercom systems to make it a safer environment for everyone."
Another hallmark of her community commitment is her tireless work with the Animal Care League, 1011 Garfield St., through monetary contributions and volunteerism, including a long tenure as ACL's board president.
After she stepped down, she stepped up and funded the new Chatka Ruggiero Spay/Neuter Clinic to reduce the number of unwanted animals.
"It is so important for animals to be spayed and neutered, and every animal owner should do it," she says.
In addition, the longtime River Forest resident, became a charter member of the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation's Women Leaders in Philanthropy, and one of the organizers of Community Bank of Oak Park and River Forest.
In the 1980s, Ruggiero took it upon herself to "save" the Arts Center, a former Christian Science temple, which now home of the Ernest Hemingway Museum, and the Lora Aborn Auditorium, named after her mother.
"I had never been in the building, and I asked my neighbor, who was a member, to look inside," she recalled. "When I saw it, I knew this really needed to be preserved. It was beautiful. So I bought it, and since then some great groups have been able to use it."
Regarding her recent donation to the Day Nursery, Ruggiero said that she wanted to support "a very worthwhile organization that helped my family out. I wanted to give something back."
Catherine Hart, executive director of the Day Nursery, said Ruggiero's gift helped push them closer to their $100,000 capital campaign goal. The funds raised during the centennial year will pay for a new roof and other critical building maintenance, as well as supporting the ongoing early childhood programming they provide to a wide spectrum of families, including single moms, in the Oak Park area.
Board member Nancy Guarino says they have transitioned into their second phase of recruiting 100 new donors. Those philanthropists, they hope, will volunteer their time and talent, in addition to their treasure.
"More than 70 years ago, during World War II, Chatka's father was called to service, and her mother had to work," said Guarino. "That is exactly what the Day Nursery was for, and it continues in that vein today."

Lots of stretchy pants means lots of fun stuff to look at.
We're glad these women love working on their glutes.
Feel the burn and strengthen your core. Or just watch these girls do it.
We may never perfect our downward dog, but staring at pictures on the internet counts as exercise, right?

Browsers bookshop owner Rachel Pope finds a great 1950s novel on her shelves.
The Go-Between by L P Hartley
"The past is a foreign country: They do things differently there."
This is the opening phrase of the book and I was alerted to it by a staff member who told me the quote was often used in films. I was delighted to see it recently in the opening credits for Mr. Pip.
The novel was first published in 1953. I look at the back of my old Penguin edition at the author's picture and feel certain I would have less than nothing in common with him and suspect he talks with a considerable plum in his voice.
The novel is set in 1900 and the main character is 13-year-old Leo Colston who attends Eton and spends the summer holidays with an upper class pal at Brandham Hall in Norfolk. Leo says: "For the first time I was acutely aware of social inferiority." There he mixes with those distinctly above his station. He is awkward in the slightly wrong clothes and is a little lost on how to navigate his way around life in a posh house. There is a lovely scene where he goes to some trouble to divine how he addresses the Viscount. His pal's mother, Mrs Maudsley, is described as having "an Elizabethan ability to fix you like a pinned butterfly with her gaze". Daunting to say the least! Leo's pal is largely absent throughout the novel but his beautiful sister, Marian, takes a shine to Leo. She intuits that Leo is feeling awkward and shows him some kindness, including going into Norwich to buy him a lovely cool green suit. Leo of course is grateful and predictably forms an adolescent crush on her. Anxious to please, he does Marian's bidding and becomes the "go between". Despite being engaged to the Viscount referred to earlier, Leo passes notes between Marian and her lover, the lower class tenant farmer, Ted.
This is the heartbreaking part of the book. Leo begins doing this innocently and naively but increasingly becomes aware that he is involved in something beyond him. L P Hartley is superb at illustrating 13-year-old Leo's dawning awareness, his confusion and loss at how to handle the situation. Regardless of the past or the foreign country, this could be a little brother or a son that we know.
Not unsurprisingly the situation comes to a head with drastic consequences. We become increasingly distressed at Leo's situation and angry at Marian for being selfish and manipulative.
Sadly, the book indicates this episode affected our hero for the rest of his life.
