[MPWG] PCA: Bimonthly Meeting for Mar. 14, 2012 (Arlington, VA)

[Olivia Kwong]

The PCA meeting talk about Ginseng was recorded and those of you who would 
like to view the talk should be able to do so with these directions (I'm 
not sure if it will work for Mac users):

https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/440593886

The person must first sign in. Then there is a link that will open in 
Windows Media player. Some people may need to install the codec (link 
provided on this same page, but it very easy to do) to watch it.



I'll send out another note if we figure out a way to make it available in 
another format.
