Special Reminders from the Journal Editor 
ASB BANQUET ATTENDANCE 
Please keep in mind that recipients of ASB awards must be present at the 
annual ASB banquet to receive the award. Therefore, all applicants for ASB 
awards must attend the banquet to insure the presence of the winners. 
MEMBERSHIP AND REGISTRATION UPDATE 
All applicants for ASB research awards must be ASB members in good 
standing, and be duly registered for the annual meeting. If necessary, 
check with the Treasurer for verification before you apply. 
Please make sure your membership status is up-to-date amply before the 
deadline for abstract submission and for annual meeting registration. 
Please be aware that mailing a check or money order for membership 
renewal to the treasurer and then trying to register online or by mail for the 
annual meeting on the same day does not work. Moreover, trying to pay for 
membership renewal online in tandem with registering for the annual 
meeting online does not work well either. 
EXTRA ABSTRACT SUBMISSION 
Besides sending abstracts of papers and posters to the Program 
Committee by January 31, 2014, anyone wishing to be considered for an 
award must send an abstract to the respective award committee 
chairperson in order to be considered. An abstract must be sent to the 
chairperson by January 31, 2014. 
Preliminary Presentation Instructions 
Oral presentations are allotted 15 minutes and must be in PowerPoint format on 
a USB memory drive. Posters should fit in a 46” x 46” space and will be 
displayed for an entire day (Thursday or Friday). Presenters should be prepared 
to stand with their posters for a designated one-hour period. 
If you have any questions, please contact Program Chair, Howard Neufeld,
