       It has come to the Court’s attention that several of the internet sites cited within the
footnotes in the Special Concurrence in this case are difficult to access. Consequently, we
amend the Special Concurrence to include internet sites that are easier to access should the
reader care to view the documents from which some of the statistical information was taken.
The amended footnotes are as follows:
