[LA-SiGMA-funded] Seminar by Steve Plimpton - Sid Fuchs ME Seminar Series and possibly LaSiGMA Seminar

[B. Ramu Ramachandran]

Dear Dmitris:

This is excellent.  Please make sure his seminar is carried on the 
Access Grid to other LA-SiGMA sites.  You may want to alert the speaker 
about this multi-site delivery system. He will need to make his slides 
available to each site ahead of time so that we can follow along.  I 
think it helps if the slides are numbered so that we can all know which 
slide we should be viewing.
