***Acknowledgements***

    * Special thanks to Dr. Bob Leamon for all the advice and instruction I received this summer.  Working and studying under Bob has been a great learning endeavor as well as a great way to gain practical experience in a strong research setting.

    * Also, thanks to Trae Winter for the very instructional IDL tutorials he gave the Solar Physics REU students.  I had no prior experience with this language, and it is largely due to Trae that I was able to eventually find my way around IDL.

    * Many thanks to everyone else with whom I have interacted this summer (you know who you are).

    * Thanks for allowing me to participate in the 2002 Solar Physics REU Program!
