using elsevier formatting stuff to get bibliography to work  properly. added my jcp paper to bib. added lots to background, time to start hacking away.
some cleaning up of the background section. probably too long and need a strong intro - but at least starting to connect the dots.
added introduction and conclusion (at least a good start of them). now reading through to get the background slimmed down. next to add past work.
finished readthrough of background. It's slightly shorter now.
