Before works cited, I would just like to warmly thank all the members of my group: Chris Liverman, Christy Dolph, Tharaphi Than, and Josyln Bennett. Also, I wanted to thank the other members of the SST-395 MAP seminar for their contributions. Lastly, thanks to Professors Queathem and McClelland for their support and guidance and Alex for his patience and advice as I bent Dreamweaver to my will :)
