Note: This conference differs from the standard astrophysical conference format. Emphasis is on time for interaction, at the expense of number and length of the talks (in agreement with KITP policy in this respect).
Speakers: Please lend your transparencies to the KITP staff members in the front office (Rm 1102) for scanning, or see us about file upload.
