Hi all,

I'm looking forward to seeing you in the CMS masterclass videoconference tomorrow, Saturday 15th March at 4:00 pm CT, 2:00 pm PT, 3:00 pm in Mexico City.

A few points and reminders: - Your source for the videoconference agenda and the link to the videoconference is on the Indico page at https://indico.cern.ch/event/306744/ . Note that this covers 2 videocons. - You should reserve at least 30 min before the videoconference for physics discussion of results with the students. - Each Institute should discuss their own results and then examine the results of one other to form 1-2 questions. You can see who asks questions of whom the Indico page. - Info on how to connect to Vidyo is at https://quarknet.i2u2.org/content/connecting-vidyo-0 . - Join the videocon 15 min early to work out any final connection, audio, and video issues. - in general, you can find a lot by exploring the masterclass library at http://tinyurl.com/mc2014lib .

Your main online spreadsheet for student data analysis is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqwqmSKBaqY9dFRKM05lQnIxWWlMc1RSNW01V2tvQnc&usp=drive_web#gid=00 . We've had some trouble with CMS masterclass online spreadsheets from time to time when there was high traffic. If you run into this problem with your spreadsheet, there are 2 recommended courses of action: - Use the provided backup online spreadsheets (one per Institute) found in the Scratchpad section of the main spreadsheet. - Download the Excel spreadsheet for students to use (also in the Scratchpad). You can find instructions for these approaches at https://quarknet.i2u2.org/content/running-cms-wzh-path-masterclass#jam . Please let me know if your run into a traffic issue and, if you do, how well our countermeasures worked.

Please send your questions and comments!

See you tomorrow,

Ken
