Note:  Every student or post doc was put on this agenda by default.  If you object to speaking but didn't send me an email saying so or if I have inadvertently left you off of the schedule, write me.

*Lunch - To make life easier on the organizer (me) we will order lunch ahead of time on the internet and have it scheduled to be delivered at about noon.  We will have about 15 people in attendance, we'll order multiple entrees and side dishes to be split among everyone.  There will be vegetarian options.  If anyone has any other dietary needs please email me.
