A blogger named Fliptomato has a list of "summerschools from your couch" that is videos to go on line of schools and lecture series taking place this summer
http://fliptomato.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/summer-schools-from-your-couch/
and one of them seems of interest to cosmology watchers. It is at SLAC-Stanford and is called "Cosmic Accelerators"
http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/ssi/
there is a change occurring at SLAC where they shift focus away from accelerator physics to high energy astrophysics (gammaray burst mechanisms, ultra high energy cosmic rays, extreme physics like early universe and black hole physics)
so their choice of 2008 summerschool topic is in line with this SLAC shift in focus.
It could be interesting to try watching some of the talks. Here is the list:
http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/ssi/2008/
Lecture Speaker
The High Energy Universe Jonathan Ormes (University of Denver)
Man-made Accelerators Ron Ruth (SLAC)

Cosmic Ray Propagation Igor Moskalenko (KIPAC, Stanford University)
Supernova Remnants Stephen Reynolds (North Carolina State University)
Black Holes Jonathan MCKinney (KIPAC, Stanford University)
UHE Cosmic Ray Air Showers Angela Olinto (University of Chicago)
Acceleration in Active Galactic Nuclei Mitch Begelman (JILA, University of Colorado)
High Energy Cosmic Neutrinos David Saltzberg (UCLA)
