Subject: FW:SSE/ASN/SSB
For attendees of the SSE/ASN/SSB annual meetings in Knoxville, TN.
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER - There are a number of individuals who
have submitted titles but have not registered. IF YOU ARE GIVING A TALK
OR
A POSTER YOU MUST REGISTER.
* The early registration deadline for the 2001 SSE/ASN/SSB annual
meetings
in Knoxville, TN is NOW - March 31, 2001. (go to
http://fp.bio.utk.edu/sse2001/ for general information, registration,
and
title submission forms)
* The deadline for title submission for all oral and poster
presentations
is March, 31 2001 - no titles will be accepted after that date.
* If you are submitting a title you will still have to register for the
meetings using a separate form. Use the "registration" link from the
main
page to look at the housing and meal plan options and to register.
* We are offering a number of cool outings this year (check "Tours and

Subject: laser rangefinder: summaries
I didn't get any responses regarding the Leica DISTO rangefinders, so I'll
go ahead and purchase one and report back. The models range in price from
$395 for a discontinued model (accuracy +/- 3mm) to $995 for the
top-of-the-line model (+/- 1.5 mm). All models have a range of up to 100 m
and can be fitted with an optional telescopic viewfinder for outdoors use.
The URL for more info is:
http://www.leica-geosystems.com/surveying/product/distancers/distohome.htm
Below are the responses I did receive:
I have used the Sonin Combo Pro w/ electric target (runs around
$132 in Forestry Suppliers catalog). I used it to map boundaries of
my temporary wetland pools in the field as they dried up. With the
target, it is very quick and easy to use and I was very comfortable
with the accuracy of the measurements for my use. It was
recommended to me by one of my committee members - he also
had used it to map out wetland floodplain areas and thought it
worked out great. Although I didn't have any problems, I think that
in very windy, open conditions you might run into some problems
getting a reading. Also, I don't know how great it is for long
distances ... mine were shorter (up to 25 meters) - I was pleased
with it's performance.
I've used similar products for mapping tree locations for my M.Sc. thesis,
they are generally very accurate, with some caveats that you need to
consider.
If you are working in forested ecosystems (or any plant community with
relatively tall vegetation), your ability to use the laser rangefinder will
be
severely limited by your line of sight. Leaves and stems from tall shrubs or
trees can interrupt the beam of the laser and give wildly inaccurate
results.
However, if you're working in a prairie or old field or something, you
shouldn't have any problem, and the laser rangefinders really are accurate
down to a few centimeters.
Having said that, two summers ago I used an old fashioned field mapping
station ("theodolite"), which used simple optics to determine distance from
a
base station to a measuring pole held by my assistant, and I was able to
work
just as quickly as a colleague who was using the latest in laser-rangefinder
equipped survey equipment, with the additional bonus that I could work in
forests where tall shrubs were obscuring the laser, and that I saved several
thousand dollars by not having to purchase the whizzy laser system. You can
rent these kinds of products for the length of a field season for a fraction
of what it costs to purchase them new. Try a forestry or survey equipment
supply house.

Contrary to what one may believe, the practice of working outside a
scope-of-services is probably more common than one realizes. The whole
contracting process is rife with poor communication amongst the parties
involved, most seriously between the agency's contract administrator and
project manager or supervisor. And, no, the project manager (probably a
career federal employee) was probably not discharged and can not be
discharged out-of-hand. Federal employees are protected by federal
hiring practices. (See my previous post regarding contract clauses.) In
all likelihood, the project manager received a warning and
less-than-glowing performance evaluation. Compounding matters, the
project manager is now short an 'employee' s/he desperately needs to do
everything s/he has been assigned, including the original contract work.
No one directly involved wins - the subcontracted employee is taken off
the project and may not have a job, the prime contractor suffers the
potential consequence of losing existing or future contracts, the agency
doesn't get the product on time or within budget, and the project manager
is left shorthanded.
Regardless of the circumstances leading up to this point, in the end this
a sure-fire recipe for shoddy work.

FALSE. The researcher / employee / contractor does NOT own or have
rights to the information collected, processed, analyzed, etc. etc,
public or private. Period. If one posts it, publishes it, releases it,
leaks it, etc., in any way it's considered theft and you may be subject
to prosecution.

Subject: bats
Hello all,
I am sorry for the delay in posting the results of my
bat query. I would like to thank everyone who replied
to my plea for help, regarding the exclusion of bats
from buildings. I received many emails and feel
confident that this situation will end on a positive
note. I have provided the decision-makers with the
best possible information, thanks to you all. The
general consensus was to contact Bat Conservation
International at www.batcon.org. Their web site was
quite informative and described exclusion methods
mentioned by many individuals. We are concerned with
taking care of this matter in a way that is least
detrimental to the bats.
Thanks again,
Debbie

Subject: Re: bats
Debbie,
You can't really translocate the bats or force them to
utilize other facilities, but you can clear them from
your building. However, you need to make sure that you
do not exclude the bats from their current home during
their breeding season or the young may starve.
Wait until the bats leave the building at dusk to feed
and block any entrances that they might be getting in
through. You may want to consult professional help to
do this so you are sure that all of the crevices are
sealed. Bats can get in through some amazingly small
spaces. Some companies can even install a one-way
door for them so they can leave, but not re-enter.
If you have made bat boxes available (contact Bat
Conservation International about designs/sources for
good boxes--some commercially available ones are
terrible) you may find that they use them or they may
find another home.
I hope this helps.

chromatographic separations of biologically active natural products is
highly
desirable. Experience in designing and conducting bioassays to monitor
isolations would also be desirable.

Subject: SD ONLINE added 110 new SD links during March
Dear Reader,
We have added a further 36 new SD links to SD ONLINE databases.
During March 110 new links were added.
This latest addition brings you 15 new conferences, 20 training
courses and a network.
Go: http://www.sd-online.net
NEW SD ONLINE URL (WWW ADDRESS)
Please change your book marks to http://www.sd-online.net to access SD ONLI
E.
The old URL ( http://susdev.eurofound.ie ) works for the moment.
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT: SD-ONLINE is designed and developed by EDEN B.V.
on behalf of the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living
and Working Conditions (an autonomous publicly funded agency of the
European Union).
Learn more about EDEN's database driven websites and how EDEN can
help you. For example, publish and edit YOUR OWN NEWSLETTER or
present CONFERENCE programmes online as and when you want without
knowing a single line of HTML code.

From: Rodolfo Bugati <rodolfobugati@YAHOO.CA>
Subject: "First things first" (Bush, March 29)
Congratulations to everybody who voted for him!
This individual (Bush) seems to be living 40 years
ago.
Is ESA preparing an organized response to deal with
his wish to destruct everything that is still left out
there (including our hopes for a better world for our
children)?
I hope that history will nor say that "only 537 votes
made the difference between slow, but continuous,
environmental progress and progressive devastation".
Cheers,
Rodolfo.
