[Dbworld] VLDB 2004 Extended Early Registration Deadline

The deadline for early registration has been extended to Tuesday August 3
because of an error in the hotel reservation information that kept people
from making room reservations.
The Royal York hotel has also agreed to reserve the room block and special
room rates for VLDB participants until the new deadline.
