State Sen. Jennie M. Forehand sits in a Sparrow, an electric car that is actually classified as a motorcycle, at Wednesday's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel Expo in Germantown.
Alternative Fuel Expo highlights green technology
Daily Record Business Writer
April 16, 2008 7:19 PM
GERMANTOWN — Imagine not having to search for the cheapest gas station for your weekly fill up, instead having to stop by less than once a month. For daily commuters, that probably seems only possible with retirement — but for hybrid car owners, that technology is just around the corner.
The "conversion car" was on display Wednesday at the Hybrid and Alternative Fuel Expo hosted by the Fitzgerald Auto Mall. A lithium-ion battery made by the Massachusetts-based company A123 Systems gives the Toyota Prius hybrid 15 times more electric storage capacity — and up to 150 miles per gallon in the city.
The battery will be on the market in July — just in time for a summer driving season in which many experts are predicting average gas prices of $4 a gallon.
"I think like with the hybrid vehicles, the demand for this is going to build slowly and then rapidly accelerate," said Les Goldman, a representative for A123 and owner of one of the of 50 test cars made in the United States. "And with the cost of gas, the extra cost is paid back in about 2½ to three years."
A123 estimates that the cost for the installation will be about $10,000 — in addition to the $21,100 starting price for a Prius — but Goldman said the installation cost could decrease as battery production goes up. Cars that include the battery as standard equipment will be on the market in three to five years, according to A123. General Motors is using it to develop its "Volt" SUV and is also considering it for a new Saturn model.
The conversion cars, which can travel about 40 miles on pure electric power, are ideal for daily commuters, according to those in the industry.
"Our car averages about 40 miles a day, and the last person to use it simply plugs it in [using a standard extension cord] to the garage wall outlet every night," said Dave DuVal, a quality control superintendent at the Fairfax County, Va., Department of Vehicle Services, which converted one of its Prius hybrid fleet cars in late 2006. DuVal noted their car burned about six gallons of gas per month.
Plug-in electric cars are not new — modern ones were first developed in the 1980s in response to the oil crisis of the previous decade, but fell out of favor when gas became cheaper. Dave Goldstein, president of the Gaithersburg-based Electric Vehicle Association, brought his 1981 Electrica to the Fitzgerald expo to remind visitors that consumer demand will drive the industry.
"This car was manufactured by Jet Industries, which went out of business because gas got cheap again and nobody wanted electric cars," Goldstein said. He predicted that price drops wouldn't happen a second time and instead consumer demand for alternative fuels would increase production and drive down costs.
Since 2000 — when fewer than 10,000 hybrids were sold in the U.S. — hybrid car sales have nearly doubled on average each year, according to R.L. Polk & Co., a Michigan firm that collects and interprets automotive data. Maryland has more than 24,000 hybrid vehicles on the road, according to data available at the expo.
But despite the hybrid's growing numbers, the manufacturing representatives at the expo noted they had the responsibility of preparing for any route the market could take. Of the approximately 15 cars at the expo, attended by about 50 media members and politicians — including Montgomery County Democrats Sen. Jennie M. Forehand and County Executive Isiah Leggett — most were not hybrids but offered other fuel-efficient alternatives.
Examples includes a 50 mile-per-gallon, diesel-powered Volkswagen being offered this summer, a 60 mile-per-gallon fortwo designed by the United Kingdom manufacturer smart, and flex-fuel vehicles (not yet market-ready) manufactured by Toyota and Ford that run on mostly ethanol.
"Because you don't really know what the fuel of the future is going to be we have to be prepared for any and all — and we have to keep it affordable," said Jay Morgan, a Ford representative. "To be competitive you have to have the technology ready for whichever path the market and federal policy is going to take."

Family fun at the Rec before Bath Rugby clash with Newport
Posted: October 19, 2013
|Bath Rugby has been putting its young fans through their paces this afternoon.
In preparation for the Amlin Challenge Cup clash against Newport Bath Rugby encouraged families to head to the Rec early to enjoy bouncy castles, an inflatable assault course as well as speed and passing competitions.
Douglas Harrington and his nine-year-old son Joseph, from Calne, were looking forward to the game.
"We are here to watch Bath beat Newport. We come to most of the home games. I think this is fantastic and adds more to the day. I like the way they've got the Bath Development Squad involved."
Jacob Fleetwood, nine, was getting some advice on his passing before the game kicked off.
Bath fan Jacob, was over from Cardiff with dad Matthew and 16-year-old sister Lucinda. He has previously been a mascot for the team.
Mr Fleetwood, who has supported Bath Rugby for 15 years, said: "It's great they are doing things like this. It's definitely an improvement over the last few seasons with things like this. Bath has become so inclusive and family focused."
After the game players will be pulling pints in the club's makeshift bar on the Rec - the Swift Half. A Tom Jones tribute act will also be entertaining the crowds.

WASHINGTON: After US President Barack Obama agreed to declare the Haqqani network a foreign terrorist organisation, the sanctions have now come into force on Wednesday, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
The group is allegedly based in Pakistan.
Earlier, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had signed a report to Congress saying the network met criteria for a terrorist designation.
The ban would result in freezing assets the group or its members have within US jurisdictions, while Americans would not be allowed to do business with them.
The Haqqanis run a sophisticated and diverse financial network comparable to a mafia group, according to a July report by the Centre for Combating Terrorism.
It said the group raised money through kidnapping, extortion and drug trafficking but also had a business portfolio that included import/export, transport, real estate and construction interests in Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Persian Gulf.
Oh no, USA. Now pakistanis will start their public protests for this too!
Good step!!!!
Why too late US … why too much thinking …. whats the reason
On the one hand,trying to bring them on the negotiating table
and on the other hand matter is being complicated.not understandable.
It took 11 long years for US to declare it as a terrorist group. Earlier, US was doing business with this group and even ready to negotiate with them for a peaceful solution of the Afghanistan problem. But the truth of the matter is that grapes turned sour for US as this group spurned the talks offer and instead attacked US and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Employer's can not force you to break the law
June 17th, 2008, 11:22 am
There is no clearly established public policy requiring employers to refrain from demanding that their adult employees work long hours, nor is any public policy directly served by employee's refusal to work long hours. Upton v. JWP Businessland, 425 Mass. 756, 682 N.E.2d 1357 (1997In DeRose v. Putnam Management Co., Inc., 398 Mass. 205, 496 N.E.2d 428 (1986), $25 million dollars in securities went missing and the FBI investigated. When a former employee eventually went on trial for the theft, the management ordered the Plaintiff to lie under oath. "You are going to be testifying, you better implicate him [McGrath] because you know he is guilty." The plaintiff responded that he "didn't know any such thing." Nothing further was said. In his testimony, the plaintiff did not implicate.
Plaintiff was fired because he did not implicate a former employee at a criminal trail. The "seminal" case in this area is Petermann v. International Bhd. of Teamsters, Local 396, 174 Cal.App.2d 184, 188-189, 344 P.2d 25 (1959) where an employee was fired for not testifying falsely. The Massachusetts SJC stated, "We too conclude that, even in cases where the employer does not gain a financial advantage, an at-will employee has a cause of action for wrongful discharge if the discharge is contrary to public policy."
Redress is available for at-will employees who are terminated for asserting a legally guaranteed right (e.g., filing workers' compensation claim), for doing what the law requires (e.g., serving on a jury), or for refusing to do that which the law forbids (e.g., committing perjury). Falcon v. Leger, 816 N.E.2d 1010, (2004)
Public policy exception to at-will employment rule has been made available to employees discharged for performing important public deeds. Mistishen v. Falcone Piano Co., Inc., 630 N.E.2d 294 (1994)
Jurisdictions outside of Massachusetts have also held it illegal to terminate an employee for failure to comply with managements directive to violate a public policy. More specifically, in Larkey, the court affirmed a jury verdict for the plaintiff, who claimed that, while he was employed as a truck driver, his employer wrongfully discharged him in retaliation for his refusal to violate Illinois law by driving his truck through the state with a load greater than the statutory maximum 73,280–pound weight limit. Remington Freight Lines, Inc. v. Larkey, 644 N.E.2d 93, Ind.App. 2 Dist. (1994).
The court in Winkelman v. Beloit Memorial Hosp., 168 Wis. 2d 12, 483 N.W.2d 211 (1992), held that evidence supported a finding that the discharge of a nurse who refused to work on a ward for which she was not qualified violated the public policy that the sick be cared for only by those qualified to do so.
In another case on point, an employee refused to violate the Federal Clean Air Act by dispensing leaded gasoline into an automobile equipped to receive only unleaded gasoline. Phipps v. Clark Oil & Refining Corp., 408 N.W.2d 569 (1987)

Bourguignon Law said,
I imagine that there are many more violations of this principle than are actually litigated because whether something is illegal is unknown.

East Fork Fire Update June 30
Incident: East Fork Wildfire
Released: 6/30/2013
East Fork Fire
Ouray Ranger District
June 30, 2013 8:00 a.m.
Information Officers: Ted Pettis, Rick Barton, Lora Schmillen, Megan Mast
Information Center 970-240-2049
Information Center Hours 7am-9pm
Incident: This wildland fire started on 6/15/2013; cause was lightning.
Location: 30 miles southeast of Montrose, CO.
Jurisdiction: Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, & Gunnison National Forests
Cooperating Agencies: BLM, Gunnison County
Incident Commander: Rick Kusicko, Northern Rockies Type II Incident Management Team (IMT). The Incident Command Post (ICP) is located at the Columbine Middle School in Montrose.
Current Size: 447 acres Containment: 10%
Management Strategy: Full suppression
Structures Threatened: 20 residences, 15 commercial properties, and 5 outbuildings
Structures Lost: none
Status: The fire has been light to moderately active; burning in spruce/fir fuels with creeping and single tree torching. Steep, rocky, inaccessible terrain (primarily below the Rim) with heavy dead/ down fuels that are extremely dry has made suppression efforts very difficult. The high elevation also affects crew and equipment efficiencies.
The Little Cimarron Creek Road and Road 864 are being heavily used by the fire crews for access to the fire. Some crews are staying in a 'spike camp' setup on the High Mesa. Road maintenance will be ongoing with road blading and dust abatement as needed. Structure protection measures have been completed for current status.
Yesterday's Activities: Crews completed fireline construction around the large spot fire on the High Mesa and have started mop-up operations. Dozer lines and fuel breaks were extended along the Rim to help containment efforts in the inaccessible fire area. The inaccessible areas are monitored visually by air and supported by helicopter water drops.
Current Resources: Five 20-person crews, nine engines, two dozers, three water tenders, and three helicopters. Total personnel: 287.
Today's Activities: A 'Red Flag' warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for dry thunderstorm activity in our area. Super cell development is possible. Temperatures are predicted to be 75 degrees on High Mesa.
Crews will be focusing on mop-up activities on the High Mesa portion of fire area. Fire managers have identified a safe opportunity to establish an indirect and effective fireline on the north flank of the main fire below the Rim.
Restrictions/Closures: The recent 'Closure Order' by the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests has been revised starting June 29, 2013. The revision opens the Big Cimarron Road #858 to the Silver Jack reservoir to the junction of Big Cimarron Road #863 and service road #858, the West Fork Road #860 south of Owl Creek Pass; and Road #868 from the Alpine Guard Station to the Big Blue trailhead #232.
All the other prohibited use of National Forest System lands (Restricted Area), roads and trails that access the East Fork Fire area are still in effect.
A road "Closure Order" for the BLM's adjacent spur roads has been issued. The closure includes the High Mesa Road (3001) and spur roads (3001a-i) off that road. It also includes the High Mesa Trail, and the Big Blue Ridge Road (3006) and the spur/branch roads (3006b-c) off that road. Please contact: Gunnison Field Office for more information at 970-642-4940.
On June 24, 2013, the Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest implemented Stage 1 fire restrictions due to high fire danger and ongoing fire activity. The prohibitions relate to campfires and smoking on National Forest System lands in the area.
In addition, a temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in effect surrounding the East Fork Fire area.
For more on the closures and restrictions please go to the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest website (www.fs.usda.gov/gmug).
The Colorado Trail and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail are closed from Stoney Pass to San Luis Peak due to fire activity on the Papoose Fire located in Mineral County.

Lorde is the anti-Miley Cyrus
Why Lorde is the anti-Miley Cyrus
By Glenn Gamboa
NEW YORK _ Oh, Lorde!
In an age where every twerk seems calculated and every hit single seems to be the product of a meticulous marketing campaign, young Lorde (the "e" is silent) and her smash hit "Royals" (Lava/Republic) is a true surprise. The moody pop anthem _ which champions regular folks instead of the ultra-rich and powerful, while maintaining a cool, detached vibe _ jumped from her native New Zealand to the United Kingdom and finally to the United States this summer, where it is currently challenging Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry for the top of the pop charts.
("Royals" already rules the alternative charts, where it has been No. 1 for seven weeks, the longest reign ever for a woman on that chart, passing Alanis Morissette's 1995 run with "You Oughta Know.")
Lorde, aka 16-year-old Ella Yelich-O'Connor, is in many ways, the anti-Miley. She shies away from the spotlight and the bling-filled trappings of the music industry. She says she wants her music to represent herself and her friends in New Zealand, regular people she feels aren't generally seen much in pop culture, due to their location and their economic status. It's a sentiment she captures in "Royals" _ which includes the lines "That kind of luxe just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz" _ and in other songs on her debut album "Pure Heroine," which arrives in stores Tuesday filled with new potential hits like "Tennis Court" and "Team" that she wrote herself, not with a bunch of songwriters and producers for hire.
She's clearly not interested in building a big pop persona, focusing instead on life as a suburban teen and keeping a lot of the details of her life to herself.
Lorde says the success of "Royals," which she wrote in half an hour, has taken her by surprise. "It's weird, because, obviously, when I wrote it I had no idea it would be a big deal or anything," she told Billboard. "I just wrote something that I liked and that I thought was cool. … It's strange, particularly with my lyrics. … People are sitting in their bedrooms, covering it on YouTube. It's been awesome, though."
Don't look for Lorde to be mounting a months-long tour or a massive publicity blitz any time soon. She declined to be interviewed for this article and has said she isn't a fan of this age of tell-all pop stars.
"In a perfect world, I would never do any interviews, and probably there would be one photo out there of me, and that would be it," she told Billboard. "I just feel like mystery is more interesting. People respond to something which intrigues them instead of something that gives them all the information _ particularly in pop, which is like the genre for knowing way too much about everyone and everything."
Given her deep, Fiona Apple-esque voice and mature writing style, Lorde surprises a lot of people with how much she has accomplished by age 16. Of course, she's not the only music prodigy to exert so much control at a young age. Here's a look at some other teenage dreams:
BIO: Gibson wrote nearly all her own songs (and still does). She remains the youngest female artist ever to write, produce and perform a No. 1 single, a feat she achieved in 1987 with "Foolish Beat" when she was 17.
FIRST HIT: "Only in My Dreams," released at age 16
BIGGEST HIT: "Lost in Your Eyes," No. 1 for 3 weeks in 1989
BIO: "Little" Stevie Wonder was only 13 when his hit "Fingertips (Part Two)" hit No. 1, making him the youngest solo artist ever to top the charts. In his early days, he was mainly a singer for the songwriters of Motown, but as he grew older, he began taking on more songwriting duties until he was in full control of his groundbreaking "Talking Book" and "Songs in the Key of Life" albums.
FIRST HIT (THAT HE CO-WROTE): "Uptight (Everything's Alright)," released at age 15
BIGGEST HIT: "Ebony and Ivory," with Paul McCartney, No. 1 for seven weeks in 1982
BIO: When her second album, "Fearless," won the prestigious album of the year Grammy in 2010, the then-20-year-old became the youngest artist ever to capture that award. However, she had already spent many of her teenage years as a singer-songwriter with hits on the country and, later, the pop charts.
FIRST HIT: "Tim McGraw," released at age 16
BIGGEST HIT: "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," No. 1 for three weeks in 2012

Chapter 17
(Bella POV)
I awaited backstage, looking at my reflection in the mirror. I breathed in and out, trying to slow my beating heart. I wasn't nervous, really. I was just... okay, I was nervous. The song I had chosen to cover was difficult, and I had to ask one of the boys to help me sing it, because it was a duet. Which was slightly awkward. In fact, asking him to sing it with me was painfully awkward.
~ flashback ~
I walked to the hotel door, pausing outside before mustering up the guts to knock on the floor. Finally, I raised my hand, and knock quickly against the door. I prayed the person I was looking for would answer. I figured who he was rooming with, and I really didn't want to be put in any more awkward situations.
The door opened after a few seconds, revealing the person I was indeed looking for. I'm pretty sure I sighed in relief.
"Bella! Fancy seeing you here." He said, looking incredibly surprised to see me.
"Hello Liam." I replied, turning my hands nervously. "I have a favor to ask you."
He raised an eyebrow at me. "Favor?"
"Yes. I need you to sing with me."
"Yes. The song I want to cover is a duet." I explained.
He seemed to ponder the thought in his head. I waited patiently, but I could feel the sweat start to prickle on my back.
"Of course Bella." He said with a smile. "I would love to sing with you."
I'm sure my face lite up. "Really?"
"Of course!"
I lunged in to give him a hug. "Oh, thank you thank you Liam."
"Uh... your welcome." He responsed.
Then I realized I had just hugged this boy who I hadn't spoken to in months. I released him quickly.
"I'm sorry Liam." I said, hanging my head.
"Don't be sorry! I just... you haven't talked to us in so long." He said.
I sighed loudly. "Yeah, I know. I wanted too, but I wasn't allowed too."
"You weren't allowed too?" He asked me.
My eyes widened. I knew I had said too much already.
"I'm sorry! I really need to go. We'll practice tonight, okay?" I said turning to half jog half walk away.
"Uh, yeah, sure!" He replied before he began to close the door.
"Liam!" I called to him before he closed the door.
He peaked his head back out of the door. "Yes?"
"I'll explain everything later. I promise."
He smiled and nodded his head before he closed the door.
~ end flashback~
We had practiced. It sounded bloody amazing, it really did. I was just nervous of how Niall would take it. Niall... I missed that boy.
"Ms. Hale. You're on in ten."
I turned to smile at the person. "Thank you."
I shook my head in an attempt to clear my thoughts. I was about to perform in front of the largest crowd ever. I could not mess up. I sighed loudly again and got up from my seat, heading to the back of the stage where I would be making my entrance. I was happy to find the closest person I had to a girl friend preparing for her performance.
"Dani." I said as I walked up to her.
She looked up from her stretch. "Hello Bella. How are you?"
"Nervous." I replied with a chuckle. "You?"
"Eh, I suppose so. I think I'm nervous for you."
I raised an eyebrow, then it dawned on me. Right as I heard her voice.
"Bella, darling, are you ready?"
I turned to find my she-devil of an aunt. "Of course. I was made ready."
"Good answer. You better do good." She added with a light hearted laugh, but I knew there was a real threat in her words.
"I will." I responded.
When she was out of ear shot, Danielle spoke up. "Seriously Bells, drop them."
I sighed loudly. "You know I can't. You're the only one who knows why."
"We'll figure something out." She said with a smile.
"That's another day." I said with a laugh.
"So, does your auntie know about the duet?"
I cringed. "No. She'll probably yell at me, but then she'll love me. I know it's going to send the ratings high."
"Sneaky little thing." Danielle said with a wink.
I shrugged my shoulders. I was about to respond when someone came up to me and told me that I was on in less than five. I nodded, waved goodbye to Danielle, and followed the man to where I was stationed for my entrance.
"Okay, when you here your name, these first curtains will rise, and then you'll walk out. The next curtain is for your second song." The man explained to me.
I nodded my head. "Thank you." I told him, and he left.
I waited patiently, adjusting the dress I was wearing. I had a thing for dresses. My aunt thought my fashion sense needed to be severely adjusted. I just sneaked clothes. Danielle helped me, of course. She knew everything except, that they beat me. Not regularly, of course. Only when I disobeyed them, or I did something that they didn't approve of.

Another day, another rumour around the iPad Mini. This time it's claimed that Asian factories have begun manufacturing the long-rumoured device.
Reported by The Wall Street Journal, the device apparently has a 7.85″ display with a resolution that is lower than that of the Retina Display iPad 3 – it's actual resolution is not known.
Images of the device appeared last month, and show that it's form factor will place it in direct competition with the Kindle Fire and Google Nexus 7.
Fortune also reports that an unnamed source claims press invites will be sent out on October 10th for an October 17th reveal of the iPad mini – with a November 2nd release date.

Designing the Complete User Experience
Understanding Folksonomy (Tagging that Works)
Thomas Vander Wal will provide an overview on tagging services and outline where there is value in tagging. This will focus on what is different in folksonomy that improves upon tagging, so that it becomes a powerful tool. Thomas will provides insights to help answer when to use tagging and/or categories, who should be tagging, the value of a tagcloud (or lack of value) when used properly, and how to create value from tagging to improve the sites and services we build.

Accessible Web Applications in a Post Web 1.0 World
How can we build modern web applications that use DOM Scripting and Ajax-type technologies and ensure that they are accessible?
To find the answers Derek will look at the impact of Ajax and dynamically-generated content on people with disabilities by examining how various assistive technologies interact with modern web development techniques such as DOM Scripting and Ajax. Using those results Derek will create a strategy to make some currently popular design patterns more accessible to all users.
Mash My Flex Up
Can you ever go back to Ajax once you Web 2.0 with Flex 2.0?
The Flex 2 framework and the Eclipse-based Flex Builder 2 IDE provide you with a superior development workflow for creating web applications. You can create rich user interfaces quickly by using features such as data binding, application states, custom components, effects, and transitions.
Join Aral Balkan, the Lone Ranger of the Flash Platform at dConstruct, as he shows you how easy it is to use open data, consume web services and create mashups in Flex 2 by using open source ActionScript 3 libraries for Flickr, Mappr, Odeo, and YouTube.
Warning: This session may alter your preconceptions about the Flash Platform.

The Joy of API
Over the course of dConstruct, you're going to hear plenty about APIs from the people providing them: Yahoo!, Amazon, etc. But why should you, as a developer, be interested?
Come on a journey with Jeremy Keith as he describes how much fun can be had from hacking around with open data. Listen to his experiences of experimenting with mashups. Find out how Web Services can rekindle the passion in your code.
After some initial foreplay describing the differences between REST and SOAP, join Jeremy as he penetrates some code. Soon you'll be swinging with Amazon, Flickr, and Google Maps.
Web Services for Fun and Profit
Over the last year the Yahoo! Developer Network has opened up dozens of sites and services to external software developers, with APIs for Yahoo! Search, Flickr, del.icio.us, Yahoo! Maps, and many others. More recently Yahoo! has started adopting microformats on Yahoo! Local and upcoming.org.
Simon and Paul will be peeking behind the Yahoo! firewall, showing how these services are created and discussing some of the lessons learned in releasing them to the public. They will also show how a company can make use of web services internally to solve real-world technical problems, encourage innovation, and make work more enjoyable.
Web Services: Fuelling Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Web services are changing the fundamental nature of the web, as more and more companies offer their data for free. Rather than spending millions of dollars on complicated systems, entrepreneurs can tap into the existing services of companies like Amazon, and create innovative new enterprises for a fraction of the cost; enterprises that wouldn't have been economical otherwise. In this session, Amazon Web Services Evangelist, Jeff Barr, will discuss the power of open APIs and how they are helping to fuel innovation and entrepreneurship. Jeff will discuss Amazon's motivation for building AWS and some of the design decisions (such as their use of XSLT) they made along the way. Jeff will touch on some of Amazon's current offerings such as S3 and the Mechanical Turk, before showing demonstrations of how these services are being used in the wild.

I could be very very wrong, but I think they would all theoretically cut any material. The difference would be the speed they could cut at. Also depends upon the thread on the rods they are used with. I recall seeing an amusing post somewhere on the zone that referenced using a tiny motor to lift the pyramids in Egypt......just have to be geared WAY down and run REALLY REALLY REALLY slow!
Also, what exactly are you cutting with.....a stepper motor for a waterjet wont actually have to 'drive' anything through the material like a router would have to do with its cutting head. Likewise for a plasma cutter, the steppers would only need enough torque to overcome the weight of the gantry and friction.
I imagine cutting marble would be real slow....and need lots and lots and lots of coolant.....but not sure if marble can be economically cut without the likes of waterjet.
Maybe tell people how fast you need to cut each different type of material.
Sorry Im not more help.

2012 Research Conference
Click here for the conference proceedings with schedule and abstracts. What: Rocky Mountain National Park's Biennial Research Conference When: March 28-29, 2012 (Abstracts due February 17) Where: Estes Park Municipal Building at 170 MacGregor Ave, Estes Park, Colorado Registration: Registration is free. On-site registration only. No advance registration. Presentations: Researchers may choose a 20 minute presentation and/or poster. Abstract(s) due no later than February 17. Financial Assistance: Rocky Mountain National Park cannot provide financial assistance for travel. A limited number of rooms in park housing will be held for participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please send email to e-mail us for more information.Information for Presenters and Posters Guidelines The goal of the research conference is to encourage dialogue among researchers, park staff, and the public. If your research has management implications, include these in your talk or poster. Presentations will be open to the public and to the media. Please keep in mind the interdisciplinary nature of the audience when preparing your abstract and presentation. Limit tables and figures. Focus on results. Audio-Visual Details We will provide an LCD projector, computer, laser pointer, and remote mouse. Presenters must run their presentations from the park computer. Please email e-mail us if you have other audio-visual needs such as overhead projectors, speakers, or slides. Posters must be mounted on foam core. Bring your own easel, if you have one. Abstract Submission Guidelines General Guidelines Deadline Submission Guidelines Address for Submission To submit cd via US mail: Presentation Tips The screen is small for the size of the room; adjust your slides accordingly. Use large font and white text on dark backgrounds (best) or black text if a light background. If possible, project your presentation on a screen beforehand and test for readability. Avoid slides crammed with numbers/tiny graphs. The audience can read, so use the slide as a base to which you can add your personal "color commentary" while directly looking at the audience. Summarize points you want to make into bullet items on the slides. Use a guideline of 2 minutes/per slide for your presentation. Cover slides or quick photo slides can go faster. A 20 minute presentation should consist of around 10 content slides plus a cover and maybe a photo or two. Questions? |
