    Hi,
    some of us are in a meeting outside Munich were we were shown a plot
    from a forthcoming paper by Tonry et al. They have all the low-z
    data from Hamuy, Riess, Jha etc, i.e. 102 low-z SNe + the Riess 98
    sample + the SCP 42 SNe + some 20-30 (or so) new ones covering a z range
    up to z=1.2. They seem to do the same prior business with extinction
    so their CL ellipse in omega-lambda is small and shifted ("up to the
    right"), leaving the flat universe outside their 68% region.
