Issue Number 43

June 9th, 2008

This month we are pleased to provide the Newsletter in a format which we hope will prove more convenient to readers. The Newsletter has grown in size to the point where presenting it as a single web-page has become rather unwieldy.

The usual four sections of the Newsletter are now available as separate web-pages as well as individual PDF documents.  The Newsletter also remains  available in its entirety as a single, large PDF document.

We strongly recommend that when making a printed copy of the newsletter (in part or whole) you use the PDF version.  If your computer does not yet handle PDFs, we urge you to download the free, Adobe Acrobat reader.

We would be grateful for any comments and suggestions about your prefered format for the Newsletter.

Newsletter as a Single PDF

Newsletter by Section:

Section 1. Overview   (PDF)
