Sounds like a great opportunity. It would be great if the seminars could be recorded and then compiled to sell as a DVD set for those who can't make it.

Good point. I hope to be videotaping it, and will see about distribution options.

Quite the lineup of international researchers!

Bartlett's lecture room is state of the art; wish it seated more. This one should fill up pretty quick.

Anyone know how many ceu's for this? Thanks. I know there will be hot chicks there.

Hey John, You know I wish I could go, but don't you think we should have the same opportunity to attend closer to our base? Kinda feels like some are cut out. Oh well.

I got the e-mail but the Southern Chapter Conference from the 7-10 March looks good, and I know boss will only go for one.

There's 20hrs worth of CEUs, climbing competition, Dr Kim Coder speaks (on a couple of occasions). Pat Wentworth from the Texas chapter.OSHA & ANSI updates Full packed four days!

Fingers crossed I'm going!

I guess that is the problem with having a stingey chapter Jeff.

This one is by Southern Chapter, not the ISA it's self. WI has some very good seminars too. It's sad that other chapters do not have the people that want to organize these things.

So how was it? opcorn:

Anyone have any papers to post, or video to share?

i took a lot of notes; i will clean em up and post when i can.

overall the shape of the coming bmp got toned down so it will be less misleading but there is still a lot of concern about basing acton on bogus numbers like t/r= .3

data envy runs deep
