30A Lab Manual Update (FINAL V3 VERSIONS)

Things completed:

1) Finished preparing all the FINAL" V3 versions of all the labs and supplementary material (see list below from the table of contents).
2) I have created a FINAL column in the summary spreadsheet showing "final" changes (new and previously listed).
3) I have also incorporated all of Anthony's comments sent Fri 12/5/2014 7:23 PM
3) When I teach this class in the fall, I will be taking pictures and also reviewing the revisions.
