Dear Colleague

This is the 2nd announcement regarding the May 25-27, 2006 workshop entitled

	"External Correlations of the CMB and Cosmology"

hosted by the Fermilab Particle Astrophysics Center.  At this workshop 
we will explore angular and redshift correlations of the Cosmic Microwave
Background with cosmological Large Scale Structure.

If you plan to attend and have not registered yet please do so at your
earliest convenience at our web-site

     http://www-astro-theory.fnal.gov/Conferences/ECcmbC/

The website now contains a schedule of talks, and information about
accommodations.  A brief summary of information on the web-site is 
given below.

                            Best Regards, the organizing committee

                            Wayne Hu
                            Huan Lin
                            Ryan Scranton
                            Albert Stebbins
                            Chris Vale


P.S. If you do not register you will receive no further mailings.


AGENDA:

While the schedule is pretty full, we will still consider additional
submissions for presentations.  The talks will be held at Fermilab
in room 1 West starting at 9AM on Thursday May 25th although you can
pick up your name tag starting at 8AM.  The talks end late in the
afternoon on Saturday May 27th.  The present schedule is appended at
the end of this e-mail.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

There is no conference hotel, but a list of hotels is given at the
web-site, and you should make your own reservation.  Fermilab rates
are available upon request.

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION:

We cannot provide transportation between your hotel and Fermilab, but
we expect that a sufficient number of participants will rent cars so that
carpooling may be arranged.  If you plan not to rent a car, and have not made
your own arrangements, feel free to contact the organizers (stebbins@fnal.gov)
to help arrange carpools.
