Charm and Charmonium Spectroscopy at the e+e- B-Factories

Over the past few years, there has been a lot of progress in the areas of charm and charmonium spectroscopy, in large part due to the very large data samples being accumulated at the e+e- B-Factories. In this presentation I will focus on results in three areas: the X/Y/Z charmonium-candidate states, the D_sJ charmed-strange mesons, and newly-discovered charmed baryons. Note the absence of a section on pentaquarks: all B-Factory searches for pentaquarks, charmed or otherwise, have not yielded any observation of such states.

Measurements of CKM Elements and the Unitarity Triangle

In this presentation, I review the status of selected Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and their role in the Unitarity Triangle (UT). Since this conference concluded, many new results have been finalized and are included in the new world averages (WAs) in the 2002 edition of the PDG. I will focus here on some outstanding issues in the measurements of the CKM elements in the third row and column.
