Scott,

I was not sure how you wanted the sources listed. If this is not correct, just write so and list an example please. I will have more sources, but I am not sure what they will be at this point. Any ideas about something that I should change, re-think, re-name, etc. please just let me know and I will change them in order for a better paper.
