IES Friends and Colleagues:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Baskerville Old Face',serif"> Due to a number of factors the abstract
submission deadline for IES2015 has been extended until 20 January 2015. If you
have already submitted an abstract you may submit an updated abstract before
the new deadline. Please visit the symposium web site for more details (</span><a href="http://ies2015.bc.edu/"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Baskerville Old Face',serif">http://ies2015.bc.edu</span></a><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Baskerville Old Face',serif">). </span></p>
