 INTRODUCTION
 
 The AAS High Energy Astrophysics Division (HEAD) will hold its
 ninth  Divisional meeting in October of 2006 in San Francisco to
 bring together the wide spectrum of topics embraced by our field.
 Scientific areas to be covered at this meeting
 include far-ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy,
 cosmic rays, high-energy processes in cosmic objects, and
 gravitational wave astronomy.
 
 The meeting sessions will be science-based, rather than mission
 based.  Oral sessions will include plenary reviews plus contributed
 talks.  Ample time will be allowed for viewing papers in the poster
 sessions.  Evening discussion sessions may be organized on topics of
 current interest.  Anyone with a topic in mind for a special session,
 please contact Stephen Murray (ssm@head.cfa.harvard.edu).

 date will only be accepted at the discretion of the Scientific

 *************************************************
 
 The Stanford Court Hotel

 Depicting early San Francisco history and the gold rush, this classic old
 world luxury hotel sits atop Nob Hill, where the Big Four railroad 
 millionaire,
 Leland Stanford's mansion once was, lost in the earthquake and fire 100
 years ago. A Tiffany-style stained glass dome and a dramatic 360deg. mural
 of early San Francisco grace the lobby. The luxurious guest rooms project
 an understated elegance through the mix of an English country manor
 style with antique furnishings accented with sumptuous bed linens.
 We have negotiated a block of rooms at a very reasonable price for
 San Francisco, so be sure to book early.
 
 *************************************************
 Hornblower Yacht Dinner Cruise
 
 
 Join us for an Evening Banquet Cruise on the
 San Francisco Bay!
 
 On Friday, October 6th we will cruise the San Francisco Bay on the
 Monte Carlo, one of the beautiful Hornblower yachts. We'll spend
 three hours on the water taking in stunning city views and enjoying
 the evening sunset. Under the full moon, we'll cruise by Alcatraz
 Island and under the Golden Gate Bridge.
 
 An elegant, multi-course dinner will be served onboard. The Monte Carlo's
 large picture windows and its expansive top deck will make great locations
 for viewing the evening's exciting finale—fireworks on the Bay. It promises
 to be a memorable evening.
 
 You can purchase your tickets on the registration page, the cost
 per person is $69.00.
