Hi, All Between the SMM Biennial Conference and jury duty the first week in January, it will probably be around the middle of January before the next message. I would like to take this moment to wish everyone a happy holiday and new year. Also, to thank you for all the wonderful messages and comments. Hope to meet many of you in San Diego.
Here's the latest posting of new PDF's that are available. File sizes have been included. Abstracts also available on request. Because of the conference dates, those who don't hear from me by Dec. 11, I will pick up again after Dec. 16. Please don't hit the reply button. Make all requests to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers!
