sPHENIX HCal discussion

[eric mannel <mannel AT bnl.gov>]

I just want to add my thanks to the hard work done by the technicians, 
engineers and scientist that have helped install the prototypes over the 
last few days.   There has also been a lot of work done at a number of 
home institutions  (UIUC, ISU, CU, GSU, BNL to name a few) to get the 
all the parts designed, evaluated, assembled, and/or tested that are 
required for the prototype detectors.

Of course none of this would have been as successful if it was not for 
the excellent guidance of our Lead Experimenter, John Haggerty. Thanks John!

Eric, for the T-1044 effort.
