[G8b_run] Polarization modification

Hi,

I have made some slight changes to the polarization modification. Volker 
and Ken helped me determine that there was an inconsistency in how I was 
determining which polarization look-up table to use for each event. The 
inconsistency led to the coherent edge being wrong by up to 4 MeV (~ half 
an eCounter).

The results are very similar to what I had shown previously. A pdf showing 
a comparison of the new results to the old ones can be found at
http://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/secure/g8b/ASU/polCorrectionV3.pdf
where the new results are in blue.

Note: There is one difference in results worth mentioning. I no longer see 
the need to remove eCounters > 299 (within the overlap region) for the 1.9 
GeV data set :)

To implement the new modification, one only needs to replace the ldPar 
values with the those given at the bottom of this email (also listed on 
the pdf).

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
Michael
