Together, the new Purdue Institute for Civic Communication (PICC), Bloomberg View (the opinion and analytical platform of Bloomberg News), and C-SPAN will present a series of forums on the issue of energy. The conference, entitled "A New Energy Future," will start at 1:30 pm and wrap up at 6 pm. The conference will address questions including: What are future needs for fossil fuels and can or should they be eliminated and replaced? Can we rely on renewables? Do practical solutions exist to reduce carbon emissions? How does natural gas change the equation? Is energy independence in reach? Bloomberg View is inviting speakers from its talent line-up of writers and analysts, as well as representatives from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, which provides news and analytical tools to the energy sector. Brian Lamb is expected to interview a CEO of a major corporation on energy use. The forum will feature several Purdue faculty, including Jim Braun, Maureen McCann, and Wally Tyner in a panel that I will moderate. Program details will be available soon. The format will encourage student Q&A. I hope you will encourage your students to attend. If you wish to give "attendance credit" for participating, the PICC will assist in taking attendance for the event for faculty who request such assistance.

LORRE PPT Templates
by Engelberth, Abigail S 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Attached are the new LORRE ppt templates. The instructions for installing them on your ECN accounts are also included. Installing them will allow you to chose them as the design for the PPT (this will make it easy to convert an old presentation to the new design). I've also included two color palettes to add so that you can easily choose the Purdue or LORRE colors for any of your office needs. The LORRE colors are a variation of the Purdue colors. The instructions are for Office 2010 - but it should be pretty much the same for Office 2013. If you want to install them on your non-ECN machine, the instructions will be very similar though not identical. ~Prof. Engelberth Abigail Engelberth, PhD Assistant Professor Agricultural & Biological Engineering Environmental & Ecological Engineering 218 POTR Office: 765-494-1009 aengelbe(a)purdue.edu

At LORRE, how do I get help with problems with my desktop computer? Support for desktop computers at LORRE is handled through the Engineering Computer Network (ECN). Requests for software installation, problems with performance, etc. can be requested through the support website (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/AboutUs/ContactUs) You should select "Potter Engineering Building," not "Agricultural & Biological Engineering" for your School/Department. If a computer repair or upgrade is needed to solve your problem, please let your advisor/major professor know right away. He or she must approve purchase of new equipment or parts.
