Business leaders and public officials from Montana will hear the national state and local updated economic forecasts at a series of presentations in seven Montana cites. The presentations are part of the 4th annual Economic Outlook Midyear Updates organized by the Montana Chamber Foundation. Presenters include Drs. Pat Barkey and Paul Polzin of the University of Montana s Bureau of Business and Economic Research.



Over the past year Montana has started to see some real effects from the national recession said Montana Chamber President/CEO Webb Brown. Montanans especially the business community are interested to know if we have seen the worst in job losses and business down sizing or if more bad economic news is on the way.



The Midyear Update has grown from a single site four years ago to seven locations this year. With the economic situation this year the information to be provided will be most timely.



The recovery has not arrived yet but it is beginning to come into view said BBER Director Patrick Barkey who will deliver the state and national forecast. Every recession is different and that makes each recovery different as well. Former BBER Director Paul Polzin will provide local data as well.



Sponsors of the series include BlueCross BlueShield of Montana Davidson Companies Glacier Bancorp Liberty Northwest Montana State Fund Northern Broadcasting System and NorthWestern Energy. Sponsors of single events are listed below.



The list of locations dates and times for the seven Mid Year Economic Outlooks are:

The two year grant will help the MSU College of Engineering determine whether students learn from Web based laboratory courses as effectively as they do from hands on courses said the grant s principal investigator computer engineering assistant professor Brock LaMeres.

In addition LaMeres research could one day lead to more distance learning options for students at other Montana colleges and even high schools by providing remote access to advanced scientific equipment.

"All of our engineering classes have a major laboratory component to reinforce the classroom concepts " he said. "But now students are wanting more online classes."

You could flick a wet paintbrush in New York City and dot the faces of 10 artists so the concept of clustering is pretty easy to deal with.

But in Montana clusters of any subgroup of the population are hard to find outside of the major towns spread across 147 000 square miles of mountains and flatland.

This isn t just Geoff Sutton s challenge but the challenge of Montana s entire arts community.

We live in a place where creative cluster is two artists working 50 miles apart said Sutton who has spent the last six years marketing Montana s artists as program director of the Montana World Trade Center http://www.mwtc.org .

Sutton was speaking earlier this week to City Club Missoula http://www.cityclubmissoula.org a nonprofit organization promoting ideas and discussion in the Garden City.

The big question: How do Montana s creative minds market themselves to places beyond Montana s or even America s borders?

Adult Education and Montana s Folk and Traditional Artists

The three years of the TRACE/CAE programs developed by Dr. Cindy Kittredge at MSUGF illustrates the importance of heeding the concepts of adult education in developing market ready programs for Montana s folk and traditional artists.


Characteristics of the participants of the TRACE/CAE programs reflect the needs of rural Montana:

95 of the individuals enrolled had worked in their particular medium for at least two years.

80 were female.

5 of the participants were traditional students 22 or younger .

95 of the participants were nontraditional students adult learners with two individuals over 65

81 of the participants were in the age category of over 40.

45 were from rural areas of Montana 9 000 people or less with 33 being highly rural either outside of small towns or from communities of less than 1500 inhabitants .


Programs developed by Kittredge at MSUGF and through MAC reflect the proven needs of adult learners:

Accessibility. Working adults are usually place bound and need access to quality experiences.

Flexibility. Nontraditional learners learn best when they can schedule their time to meet the pressures of their life.

Experiential. Nontraditional learners tend to be self directed and respond to learning by doing. Research shows that the average adult takes on 20 or more learning projects a year. Montana s folk and traditional artists have learned their art by doing and so are acquainted with this style of learning.

Affordable. Adults often find themselves fulfilling the needs of several generations and so cannot afford the traditional classroom approaches. Also rural adults tend to have less cash available for investing in their art.

Collaborative. Researchers have shown how adults learn through networking.

Fulfill Immediate Needs. Adults generally don t embark on learning theoretical concepts simply for the sake of learning. Instead they learn in order to fulfill specific needs. Translated that means that artists who see the need to learn about business and are offered a concrete reason to learn the tools will participate in learning opportunities that normally wouldn t be their first choice simply because they have a concrete rationale to collect and apply information.


TRACE/CAE Outcomes:

Nearly 5 000 Montanans availed themselves of offerings from workshops presentations and events connected with these programs.

The program resulted in 24 micro business launches.

Graduates of the programs increased their annual sales by 152 and increased their saleable inventory by 71 .

Participant out of state sales increased by 309 .

The state of Montana invested 300 000 in these two programs. The short term economic impact from the two programs was 832 000.

Remember when a simple bike sharing program was considered revolutionary?

Chiyu Chen a design student at the Royal College of Art has conceived of an urban bike sharing program that not only provides riders utility but also powers the local bus system and pays them to do so.

Users check out specially designed bikes from a locking station using an ID card. Inside the bikes is a system that stores kinetic energy generated from braking. Riders go where they need to and when they re finished bring the bike back to the locking station. Locking up the bike transfers the energy generated by the trip into the city grid or as Chen envisions into a hybrid bus system.
