Musical tempo name to BPM table

I needed a concise, modern and easy to use tempo names table and couldn't find a good one on-line (which came as a surprise to me - maybe I'm not adapt at this Google thing...). The article on "Tempo" in Wikipedia has a lot of information but lacks in this regard. So here is a table for my and hopefully your use. This table is derived from a standard modern metronome that I use (Korg KDM-2).
