[Clas_hadron] One more thing about the NSTAR Talk for Hanretty

[Paul Eugenio]

Dear Chuck,

I looked over your slides with the realization that you are building up slides via LateX Beamer.  First off,  personally don't like how beamer number each step as a different slide.  This alone turns people off, so start off your talk stating the fact the you are using multiple slides rather than an animation so in fact effectively ## of slides.    So looking closely, It appears that you have 24 "effective slides".     I  agree with Barry the talk still is too longs.  You should cut 7 - 8 of your  "effective" slides and maybe reserve them as back up slides.  

I would start by cutting out half of your introduction especially with regards to polarization observables(I would make it all one slide cutting out most and getting to what you are observing).    You can merge slides like the JLAB & CLAS detector.   Dump the two slides on momentum/sag corrections & pulls(this is only meaningful to CLAS collaborators and meaningless otherwise).    I also think you should remove slides 52,53,54, & 55.   You here compare an experimental results as a function of phi to a theoretical predictions with no phi dependence.  These predictions are not published and somewhat dated (as they were generated in support of the proposal).  So don't waste 4 slides comparing preliminary experimental phi dependent results to preliminary predictions without any phi dependence.   All you can conclude is that you have something interesting.   I would state that as a bullet in the summary possible leaving the 4 slides as back ups.

So as Sara would say, "Cut baby cut..."

Furthermore, the preliminary results I show (with the exception of 2 slides) will appear as an animation showing the observable measurements for the E_{gamma} bins ranging from 1.1 to 1.7 GeV. This is why there are so many slides in my talk. Still, comments are welcome and I will make sure to not have a long-winded or rapid-fire talk.
