Attribution

You are welcomed to use these data, to download these to your computer, and to incorporate them with your own data for purposes of analysis. 

If you use these data, please attribute these data to me and cite the corresponding web-site source. Since I spent considerable amounts of time collecting these data sets and calculating values (and suffer from the normal amounts of academic vanity), I would appreciate the fifteen nano-seconds of glory that will come from someone else using and citing these sources.  Thank you for the consideration.

I will add additional data sets as they become available.
