Feb 22 - Have a Great Break and Winter Carnival

I hope you all have a restful and enjoyable break. The notes are short this week becuase I know your capacity for reading extra things right now is limited. There is one new and important note on conferences in the 'Updates' section, otherwise the notes below are mostly reminders and food for thought. Once again, enjoy your well deserved break.
