[SESprint] CW Sprint teams Sept 10

[Scott R.]

We understand, Dave.  I received a couple of private messages stating
that the FCG (unsurprisingly) had been pounded very hard by the series
of hurricanes.  To add insult, Ivan looks like it's going to be the
next one to hit down there.  I was purposely trying to low-key the
rally call for Sprint participants this time - we have every subsequent
Sprint to be "SSC" for Bill as well.
