SOURCES FOR INFORMATION
TO GO TO FIRST, AND BETTER THAN GOOGLE SEARCHES



A "google" search on any one topic yields lots of lower or partial information, but not enough depth to understand the situation.

So I list the sources below, so that I, for one, can just link directly to them to find my information, instead of sorting through all the search results to find something of value.  The ones I go to first are bolded.  Of course, for greater detail, I go to the statistics or specialty sites on any one area.
