		+
		+	We invite all interested GEM attendees to participate in a special "comparative planetary magnetospheric physics" breakout session at the upcoming GEM workshop on Tuesday from 3:30-5:00 pm. The focus will be on how to utilize the knowledge gained from examining similar physical processes in the different systems to further the goals of GEM. These processes include MI coupling, dayside interactions, solar wind energy coupling, etc., and span the entirety of the GEM focus areas. We do not anticipate formal presentations. Rather, this is an open forum for discussion. Please bring your thinking caps!
		+
		+	GEM will also have two related plenary session tutorials, one by Margaret Kivelson, "Learning about Earth's plasma processes from studies of other magnetospheres," on Tuesday morning and a second by Jim Slavin, "Reconnection in planetary magnetic tails," on Thursday morning.

		+
		+	We would like to invite contributions to the Dayside FAC and Energy
		+	Deposition (FED) focus group at the upcoming GEM workshop in Snowmass
		+	on June 21-25, 2010. This new focus group is organizing to explain
		+	the relation between enhanced dayside Poynting flux and field-aligned
		+	currents, sources of field-aligned currents in the solar wind and
		+	magnetosphere and their impacts in the ionosphere-thermosphere system.
		+	The GF goals and other information are at:
		+
		+	http://gem.epss.ucla.edu/mediawikiwiki/index.php/FG:_Dayside_FACs_and_Energy_Deposition
		+
		+	The FED focus group will hold two sessions at the upcoming GEM
		+	Workshop (June 20-25) in Snowmass, covering data, theory, modeling
		+	aspects of the following topics:
		+
		+	- Dayside Poynting Flux, Joule Heating and Their Relation to Field Aligned Currents
		+
		+	- Particle Energy Deposition on the Dayside
		+
		+	- Dissipation of Magnetospheric Energy in the Dayside Thermosphere
		+
		+	- Thermospheric Density Enhancements and Traveling Atmo/Iono- spheric Disturbances
		+
		+	- Solar Wind Drivers for Extreme Dayside Poynting Flux Events
		+
		+	We will discuss the types of NSF GEM investigations to bring this
		+	forward toward a conclusion by 2012.
		+
		+	The sessions will be held in a workshop (NOT AGU) style in which each
		+	speaker will be allotted time for a 3-4 slides, in order to ensure
		+	enough time for discussion. At least one of the slides should deal
		+	with unresolved issues. Speakers are encouraged to end their
		+	presentation with outstanding questions that could provide a basis for
		+	a session at next year's joint GEM-CEDAR meeting.
		+
		+	Both sessions have been tentatively scheduled on Monday Jun 21
		+	(See http://www.cpe.vt.edu/gem/index.html for the definitive schedule).
		+	If you have not already done so, please send the title(s) and
