The conference website http://web.math.princeton.edu/conference/Bendersky-Gitler
is up but not yet fully constructed. It will be available soon for registration and other information.

Princeton is easily accessible from Newark Airport.

The Nassau Inn, which is particularly convenient, offers a Princeton Mathematics Department
discount . A link for the special discount is available at the conference website. It is
expected soon that the less expensive Palmer Inn on Route One will offer a discount too. A
link will be posted on the website.

If you choose another hotel on Route 1, please ensure that it has a shuttle to the University.

Modest funding is available for graduate students. Requests should be made at the time
of registration.

We hope very much that you will be able to join us in commemorating Sam and honoring
Martin.

Tony Bahri, Bill Browder, Fred Cohen and Tara Holm.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
