Please let me know know is going. 2. Let me know if you are presenting or not. 2. Let me know if you are being funded by your professor or if you need assistance from CBS (and if you need assistance, let me know if you are being partially funded or not funded at all) 3. Let me know if you already have a room reserved, and if so, now many roommates you need or want. 4. Let me know if you would like to go on a group flight or have made other arrangemnets -- Mary E.(Betsy) Tedder, PhD student President, Clemson Bioengineering Society Graduate Research Assistant: Biocompatibility & Tissue Regeneration Lab Department of Bioengineering 507 Rhodes Research Center Clemson University Clemson, SC 29634 cell: 864-508-1473 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Let me know by Friday, August 10th Message-ID: <1f6db5f50708061124l790efdeft21b47db9792a79fa@mail.gmail.com> Sorry guys, I didn't mean to send out the last email without proofreading and checking spelling. But, I have called the top hotels and the group rate rooms are already gone (prices for group rates would have been:$189.00 for single, $199.00 for double, $219 for triple and $239.00 for quad rooms) As it stands now, in the hotel where the conference is(The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel ), the rate per night is a flat rate of $339.00, no matter now many people in the room, which comes out to ~ 85.00 per night per person for 4 people in a room. Since Aditee and I are the only girls who have responded, we both said we wouldn't mind rooming with guys, so that cuts down on additional room costs(if any guys don't mind 2 girls with them, please let me know). So, I was going to reserve 3 rooms @ the Renaissance (so these wouldn't be CBS only rooms). The cost per person, as I said, would be ~85.00/night, for a total of $255 for 3 nights per person, if 4 people per room, and as it stands, there are 12 people who have responded who are definitely going, which are: 1. Betsy Tedder 2. Changhong Zhang 3. Lee Sierad 4. Aditee Kurane 5. Jai Kutty 6. Kirk Pirlo 7. Tripp Mostertz 8. Tom Chuang 9. Dev Raghavan 10. Xiaofeng Cui 11. Honghai Liu 12. Scott Maxson So, that could be 4 people per room for 3 rooms for 3 nights (Wed,Thurs,Fri, come back Sat). Once we know who is rooming with who, since there are so few of us, we can figure out who in each room we will transfer room reservations and credit card responsibilities to (I'll take responsibility for the room I'm in). This means that there is not going to be exclusively funded CBS rooms, but we will look at the feasibility of funding individuals in any of these 3 rooms(as I said before, if you have already made reservations and need roommates, please let me know ASAP, as the amount that each individual in that room is responsible for may be less than $85, as different rates may apply). If you would like to be in one of these rooms(whether or not you are expecting CBS funding or not), PLEASE let me know by Friday, August 10th so I have a number in each room. Once room arrangements are made, we will discuss the flight(I'm not really sure now CBS wants to handle that situation now). Lets get over one hurdle at a time though. I hope this has not been too confusing, so please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns. We are just trying to be as time and economically efficient as possible by trying to make group accommodation arrangements.

So, I can call back and reserve the rooms for another night, but they will not be at the discounted rates(reg rate ~$300/night). We are going to try to find the best flight deals to possibly offset the costs of staying an extra day. I also encourage everyone, if you have not already done so, to become a student member of BMES and you will receive a discounted rate for registration (student member registration fees are $200). So, if you haven't let me know in an e-mail by Fri., 10th (even if you responded to the initial email a couple of weeks ago I must hear definitive plans and answers to the questions posted in the emails yesterday(Mon 6th)), you will not be included in these room reservations, group plane accommodations, or financial support considerations that CBS can offer. By the end of this week or the beginning of next (after Fri, so everyone has had an opportunity to respond to the Fri deadline), CBS should be able to let everyone know now much funding it can contribute. This is a much more expensive conference than SFB, so I can almost guarentee that we can not provide complete funding to any one person, so I encourage everyone to look at the Travel Award opportunitites available on the BMES conference website (http://bme.usc.edu/bmes2007/events.html) and any other available funding means seperate to CBS.

This PC is the property of the Metters group and does not belong to either CBS or the Bioe Department. Here are a few things to remember while using the PC. 1. *DO NOT* log out of Windows or shut down the PC. Just keep using the PC as it is. 3. In case of any problems, meet or contact Nihar. 2. Novell Netware will *not be installed* at the moment as it drastically slows down the PC. You will either have to use an external storage drive, or access your U Drive through MyCLE. 3. The printer has been setup and is printing fine. 4. All *required and common softwares and browser plugins have been installed *for things to work smoothly. However, if you need any special software to be installed, let Nihar know. 4. Any *files you have created *and/or they belong to you, make sure you *delete them*.. 5. Any *unnecessary files will be deleted* at any time to maintain the performance of the PC, so *copy whatever you need *as soon as you are done using the PC. 6. *DO NOT* delete any other files from anywhere on the hard disk or the desktop. Thats all for now.. Happy computing!! -- *Nihar** M.

The people who have responded thus far are: 1. Betsy Tedder 2. Kirk Pirlo 3. Jai Kutty 4. Aditee Kurane 5. Tom Chuang 6. Lee Sierad 7. Tripp Mostertz 8. Erin Pardue 9. Changhong Zhang 10. Honghai Liu 11. Dev Raghavan If your name is not on this list and you would like to be considered for CBS funding or a CBS organized room or flight, you MUST let me know by FRIDAY, AUGUST 10th by 5pm. I have to set this deadline so we can go ahead and make flight arrangements. As I have said before, this is a much more expensive conference than SFB. We have calculated that, conservatively, it will cost ~$710 to attend the conference per person (that includes registration,hotel for 4 nights (Wed-Sat) and flight). We have a very limited budget (as it is the beginning of the year and we have not had fundraisers, and the student government will not approve the budget for this year until the 1st meeting (which will be mid Sep.), so we do not know how much we will get from them). We will definitely not be able to completely fund everyone and will not be able to offer the amount of funding that will cover complete costs for those students presenting that do not have funding from their advisors . If you are presenting, please talk to your advisor about funding before you ask assistance from CBS. They are aware that it is their responsibility to provide funding if they encourage their students to submit abstracts. As I stated before, there are travel awards offered by BMES ( http://bme.usc.edu/bmes2007/events.html) and volunteer opportunities arranged at BMES that provide reduced registration fees ( http://bme.usc.edu/bmes2007/volunteer.html). There are also travel awards from the University that you can apply for. By early next week, we will be able to tell everyone now much CBS can contribute. We would like to be able to fund everyone who wants to attend, but it is just not financially possible. We will do what we can with the financial resources we have at this moment.
