...And a Welcome to the Revamped Site

Please excuse our mess as the new site comes online and the rough edges are smoothed. A brief note to Internet Explorer users... If you are using version 6 or earlier, you need to upgrade to version 7 or you may encounter issues with the presentation and features of the site. With the release of IE7, support for IE6 is rapidly declining. There's no good reason to not upgrade to IE7, which is stable and free. IE6 was released way back on August 27, 2001. It's prone to severe security vulnerabilities, it's not standards compliant, it's buggy, it doesn't render page layouts as intended, and it lacks many features of up-to-date browsers. If you are in doubt which version you are using, click on "Help" and then "About Internet Explorer" in your menu bar to verify.
