On November 13, 2009 we changed the format of this page because it had grown to the point where it would not download in a reasonable amount of time. We split the material into three segments, corresponding to the three boxes or "buttons" below. If you came in from a search engine, the thing that you want to look at is still here and there is an "analytical Index" located right below the buttons. This index will get you to the right location.

For those of you who don't like buttons, here is a more analytical index to help you find your way to just what you're looking for.
