% Notes:
%
% * Don't forget to change `pdfauthor' and `keywords' in the \hypersetup
%   section below.
%
% * To create a new page use: \newpage \opening
%
% * res.cls includes an \address{} command which can be used up to twice,
%   but my address is too long for the format it uses.
%
% * Alternate documentclass statement to put headings in margin:
%   \documentclass[margin,line,11pt,final]{res}
%
% * Can divide publication/presentation list into subsections by year:
%   \section{\bf\small\hspace{8mm}2006}
