Note: When this is "pasted" to an e-mail note, some of the formatting is lost. For instance, the boxes (mentioned below) do
not appear. However, you should get the addresses of the sites.

Those in boxes are not directly related to statistics, but might be useful in a statistical sense... and, they are interesting
in themselves.
