I wish to thank all of the participants who selected the portrayal of our work. We expect to conclude additional field work next spring. The most comprehensive article regarding our work --- "That Abyss Where Sight Is Lost: Death on the Idaho Frontier --- will appear in 2010.

Huh??

User Conference Insider wins Poster contest? There should be a rule against that, people spend huge bucks to come to the conference to enter their work and then someone from the inside is allowed to participate in the contest? His map wasn't even within the size perimeters, of course people's eyes are drawn to Big and colorful.....this seems rigged.

The poster strand was a peer review. If participants did not like a particular poster, they did not vote for it. Good work is worthy of a reward, regardless of the source. Perimeters are artificial barriers. And I saw excellent small posters.
