Web Site Changes
This website is undergoing several changes which you will notice over the next few weeks if you are a regular visitor. The menu will be simplified with a few major headings and several subheadings. This should improve readbility of menu items. The template for the overall site is changing to make it easier find what you're looking for. Pages will feature a new forward-looking abstract image at the top of each page. There will be other changes you may notice after you use the site for awhile, like a glossary and a few behind the scenes bells and whistles. Pages on the site should automatically adjust as you change the size of your browser window. There may be a few glitches, so be patient. Within a few weeks everything should be converted over from the old site and working consistently (keep your fingers crossed).
