    SCP Collaborators,

    A revised agenda for the SCP meeting starting tomorrow is on the web
    http://supernova.lbl.gov:8080/twiki/bin/view/Main/AgendaJuly05 (and
    copied below). The order of some of the talks on Thursday has been
    rearranged, mainly to allow Reynald to call in from Europe.
