Emergency update July 5, 2004

NOTE: The following both replace some links which have disappeared and add new material, including an on-line on demand video course. In a future revision of the Study Guide in Chemistry these will be incorporated by subtopic -- but they are too valuable to wait until that task is completed.-- JS
