[excerpt]
The study you are about to read is the product of many analysts' research and study.
Those analysts are identified as authors of the respective papers constituting the work. This project
concerns the prediction of future United States domestic trends to the year 2015. It has offered everyone
an opportunity to think creatively and project into the future. While this is a difficult task, it is
nevertheless exciting and challenging. We have all learned and profited from the experience.
