    In the version of this article initially published, a footnote and boldface type were omitted from Table 1. The column heading 'Correlation and P-values' should have read 'Correlation'. The footnote should have read “Bold: significant correlation coefficients, P < 0.01.” In the body of the table, P-values were present in all cells, but these should have been omitted and bold face should have been used to indicate significant correlation coefficients. The errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
