DISCLAIMER!!! Every effort has been made to filter out confidential data from the data contained on this disc. The user should realize that these datasets were compiled specifically for the purposes of analyzing the SSLMC proposals also contained on this disc. While we realize the datasets are quite spiffy and slick, they come with many caveats and assumptions that will be discussed in great detail at the January 2008 meeting. A thorough understanding of these datasets' intended uses is required to manipulate or query the data in any way. If you attempt to use the data without understanding them or in a way that was not intended by those who generated them, your computer will self-destruct and you'll wish you hadn't.
