A resonator back provides more projection of sound in the Goodtime 2. It's made here in the USA, at the Deering shop with the same tooling used to make the top-of-the-line banjos. Greg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos because there were no low-priced banjos of enough quality for people to actually learn on without difficulty or giving up. He remembers what it was like to want a good banjo and not be able to afford one, so his gift to others is the Goodtime banjo line.
Designed for success, the Goodtime banjos are amongst the lowest-priced American-made banjos ever made. They are so good, many professionals have recorded with Goodtime banjos. The Goodtime 2 weighs 6lb., about the weight of a guitar. The Goodtime 2 has a natural blond maple satin finish to protect it. If you want a great low-priced bluegrass banjo for travel and leisure that plays correctly and is durable, this is a great buy.
For a punchy, hard-driving bluegrass tone, the Deering Goodtime 2 Banjo uses a rock maple neck and resonator, and a birch and maple rim. The slender and fast-playing neck with all geared tuners creates a banjo that is easy to tune, to maintain and to play. Standard 11" head. The Goodtime 2 Banjo is handmade in the USA.
Case sold separately.
Has a bright sound of maple that projects well.
Easy to play with clarity of note separation.
G,D,G,B,D in standard G tuning.
Can easily be tuned in other tunings as well.
Comes with light gauge strings.
Can also be played with medium gauge strings.

Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
Deering really knows how to make a banjo and the Goodtime 2 banjo is no exception. This banjo plays and sounds as good as much more expensive models.This banjo has a really loud sound and the neck plays really smooth. I would recommend this banjo to anyone.
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
This banjo is great for a beginer and someone who already knows how to play. The quality of this guitar is better than the regular goodtime, because it gives you a live sound. The goodtime 2 banjo is 10 times better than any other deering. One thing I love is the resinator. The features on this banjo are amasing. If you want a quality banjo this is the one for you.
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
I love this banjo! I am a total banjo novice but find this instrument to be perfect for learning. The sound quality is better for bluegrass than old time, but taking the resonator off is always an option.
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
My first banjo, and I'm well pleased with its construction. The action is easy to play on and it stays in tune. No buzzing on any frets. Deering obviously has high standards for their products, and if you visit their website and view their higher-end banjos, youll see that these people are craftsmen, and making banjos is their "thing". I bought the Goodtime because it was the cheapest Deering I could find(it IS my first banjo,..) and I am not dissapointed.
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
I'm a long-time guitar player who started banjo a few months ago with a Fender FB-54 banjo. The quality of construction on the Goodtime 2 is superior; the tone is excellent; the action light and quick. Although it's not pretty (satin finish, no fancy inlays), the money goes into quality design, materials, and construction. The results is a sound that makes this Goodtime 2 banjo truly beautiful in my eyes. This instrument meets Deering's goal of providing an affordable, quality banjo for beginners. I recommend this for anyone who is starting out (wish I had bought this first...) or any player wanting a less expensive instrument for travel. This won't be the last Deering I purchase.
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
This is the first banjo that I have owned and it has exceeded all of my expectations over the first six months. The sound is crisp, bright and clear with fantastic projection from the maple body and resonator. It is perfect for learning Scruggs-style, three-finger picking bluegrass tunes. It stays in-tune well, though I would advise buying a nice electric tuner and tuning before each session. Every part feels solid and, even after a couple of months playing every day, I haven't needed to fix or service anything. Aesthetically the instrument is beautiful and has no visual defects. Furthermore, the Deering travel case that I bought with it works brilliantly and makes travelling with the banjo much more convenient. Overall, I highly recommend this instrument to anyone (especially beginners) and have had no trouble whatsoever.
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
Purchased this banjo after several months of researching and examining many banjos of many brands. This was the best recommended banjo for beginners out there and at the best price plus being American Made. I have been playing guitar for over 25 years so I am no stranger to music. Found it very easy to adapt to playing the banjo and have been having nothing but fun sense I got The Goodtime 2. It deserves a 5 star rating and I recommend it for all and any who want to start playing the banjo.
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
Totally new to the Banjo but I have enjoyed this every much. It plays well and keeps it's tune well. The strings are easily played. If you have any experience with the guitar you should be able to carry that over to the banjo. Finger picking will come with a little practice (USE THE METRONOME!). Within a week I was able to do the forward and backward roll as well as an alternating roll. I am having fun with it and hope to be able to use it on stage with the next few months. It looks good and plays good and to my ear it sounds good. Can't go wrong for the price. I chose it over it's comparable fender model because it's made in the USA and I think it looks nicer. Order the bag/case with it and get some good finger picks --- DON"T FORGET THE STRAP. Get a good strap.
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
I bought this for a beginner banjo student, she loved it and has good action on the neck. I wish there were markings on the neck for the 12th fret. Otherwise, its great for anyone just starting up.
Best Uses
Comments about Deering The Goodtime 2 Banjo:
I'm in my 50's and decided to take up the banjo. I did a lot of research on which banjo to buy. Once I decided on a banjo with a resonator (not open back) I started paying a lot of attention to the Deering Goodtime 2. It's a little more than I initially wanted to spend, but I figured this would not only be a good instrument to learn on but a quality instrument that would stand the test of time. I had it delivered to the GC store near me, thinking I may need some help setting it up. Right out of the box, it sounded beautiful and required no adjustments. The GC technician was amazed at the quality for the price and asked me ,"Do we sell these?" I guess he'd never seen one before. I've had it for a month and I'm enjoying it immensely. Do not hesitate to buy one!

Eisenhower family objects to proposed plans for memorial
Like many American controversies, this one involves a president, his prominent family members and millions of taxpayer dollars.
The construction of a memorial for Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States, has pitted his family against a well-known architect who they say is threatening to build an inappropriate spectacle.
"We have raised a number of very important questions about the scope, concept and sustainability of the design itself," said Susan Eisenhower, a granddaughter of the late president and general.
At the center of the debate is designer Frank Gehry's focus on Eisenhower as a barefoot boy from Kansas, Susan Eisenhower said.
Family members say the $112 million memorial just south of the National Mall should focus on Eisenhower's accomplishments as president and Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II and not on his youth as a "barefoot boy."
U.S. Army Signal Corps via AP
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gives the order of the day, "Full victory - nothing else," to paratroopers somewhere in England, just before they boarded planes to participate in the first assault in the invasion of Europe, June 6, 1944.
"Memorials in Washington speak for the nation as a whole," Susan Eisenhower said. "The nation is not grateful because he grew up in rural America. … He defeated Nazi Germany. He led us through tumultuous times in war and peace."
She added that the memorial should be "simpler and more universal," and "symbolize the importance of Dwight Eisenhower's contribution to this country."
Renderings of the memorial show the 4-acre space will be framed by transparent woven metal tapestries showing the landscape of Abilene, Kan., Eisenhower's hometown, and supported by 80-foot-tall columns.
Included in the proposed "Eisenhower Square" are two large bas reliefs depicting images of him serving as president and general, walls of excerpts from the former president's most famous speeches, and a sculpture of Eisenhower as a young boy.
Family members say the memorial is being fast-tracked inappropriately through the approval process.
The National Park Service, on behalf of the Eisenhower Memorial Commission, submitted an application to the National Capital Planning Commission for preliminary design review, according to a statement by Marcel Acosta, the planning commission executive director.
In January, the commission "received a letter from the Eisenhower family expressing concerns regarding the design of the proposed memorial," Acosta said, adding that the group will "consider the comments and requests made in the Eisenhower family's letter, along with other information in the public record." It's unclear when the commission will review the project.
By Carolyn Kaster, AP
Susan Eisenhower, left, and Anne Eisenhower listen to testimony on Capitol Hill on March 20 on a proposed memorial to their grandfather, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, on the National Mall.
The memorial, which will be located at Independence and Maryland Avenues between 4th and 6th Streets Southwest, will be dedicated on Memorial Day, May 25, 2015, the 70th anniversary of the Allied forces' victory in World War II, said Carl Reddel, executive director of the Eisenhower Memorial Commission.
Criticisms of the memorial fail to take into account that the project has been in the works since 2001, as well as Gehry's plan to include the large bas reliefs and speech excerpts, Reddel said.
"The challenge of getting this right is an important one, and in the process of doing that, we have benefited from the inputs of the family," Reddel said.
David Eisenhower, a grandson of the late president, resigned from the memorial commission in December, leaving the body with no representative from his family. A month later, he wrote his family members an e-mail, saying in part, "I am very relieved that the design issues have been reopened," according to Susan Eisenhower.
Roger K. Lewis, a practicing architect and author of The Washington Post column "Shaping the City," has published his criticisms. "You don't need a space that's the size of four football fields to make a memorial for Eisenhower," Lewis said in an interview. "This notion of putting up these huge tapestries depicting Kansas is totally inappropriate."
The Commission of Fine Arts unanimously approved the concept of the memorial in September. In a letter explaining the move, Thomas Luebke, the commission's secretary, wrote that the group "approved the revised concept, expressing great enthusiasm for the development of the design and for the artistic quality of the tapestry mock-ups as displayed on the memorial site."
He later added in an interview that the commission has not given its final approval and has not been formally presented with the main commemorative elements of the memorial.
Susan Eisenhower is hoping officials will delay the approval process. "It's important for giving people a chance to express their views on the design," she said. "The next step is obviously to re-engage with the relevant parties."

Brewer: On This Date ...
March 6, 1975
North Carolina-101 Wake Forest-100 (OT) ACC Tournament
GREENSBORO - North Carolina rallied from an eight-point deficit in the final 55 seconds of regulation and went on to a 101-100 overtime victory over Wake Forest in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Brad Hoffman's baseline jumper with two seconds to play tied the game, 90-90, and forced the extra period. The Tar Heels scored nine of their 11 points in overtime on free throws. John Kuester's two foul shots with nine seconds left gave Carolina a 101-98 advantage. The Deacons' Lee Foye then had a harmless tip-in as time expired.
Wake Forest led almost the entire game. The Deacons went to a spread offense for the last eight minutes and had a 10-point edge with 5:48 remaining. Back-to back jumpers by Mike Parrish gave Wake Forest a 90-82 lead with 55 seconds left. But Carolina made one of its famous, yet remarkable, comebacks.
Phil Ford's 20-foot jumper began the run with 44 seconds to play. Ten seconds later a Deacon turnover led to a driving layup for Mitch Kupchak.
Then came the still controversial "scoreboard play." A long inbounds pass from Jerry Schellenberg to Parrish appeared to some to graze the bottom of the overhanging scoreboard. Wake Forest players and fans protested the call, but the ball was awarded to the Tar Heels under their own basket. Walter Davis immediately hit a jumper, cutting the lead to 90-88.
Skip Brown missed from the foul line with 11 seconds left. Carolina took a timeout after advancing the ball to midcourt. Ford then found Hoffman on the right baseline. Hoffman faked two defenders running at him and hit an opener 12-footer to tie the game.
Davis, Hoffman and Kuester each made two free throws in overtime. The other Tar Heel points came on a layup and three free throws by Ford. One of Ford's foul shots came after Wake was charged with a technical foul for not forcing play while trailing 97-96.
Davis was brilliant, scoring a career-high 31 points. He made 11 of 15 field goal attempts and nine of 11 free throws. He also grabbed 12 rebounds and handed out six assists. Ford had 25 points and six assists. Kupchak scored 16 points and had 14 rebounds. Hoffman also finished in double figures with 15.
Wake got 24 points from Brown, 19 from Parrish, 18 from Schellenberg and 17 from Rod Griffin.
Deacon Coach Carl Tacy questioned the scoreboard call, but did not blame officials for the loss.
"We had every opportunity to win," he said afterwards. "In a game like this you can see so many things we should have done differently. Maybe we went to the four-corners too early. Then we missed too many free throws down the stretch."
Carolina Coach Dean Smith praised the Deacon effort.
"It was a fantastic game by Wake Forest," said Coach Dean Smith. "They really deserved to win. But, you have to credit our team for coming back when things didn't look good.
"Davis, Ford and Kupchak were sensational. Hoffman, of course, made the big shot. But, he also made perhaps the key play in overtime when the stole the ball, was fouled and hit those two big free throws."
The victory moved the Tar Heels (19-7) into the Tournament semifinals against Clemson.
Wake finished 13-13.

Watching Amazon.com cut the prices of last year's Kindle Fire devices shortly after they debuted, you may have concluded that Amazon's tablets weren't performing well. You may have further speculated, as I did earlier this year, that maybe Amazon didn't need to commit to the tablet strategy. After all, Amazon has a great relationship with its customers whether they're on PCs, mobile devices, or iPads. You (and I) would be wrong. Today Amazon doubled down on a tablet strategy, announcing three new devices for sale later this year. A new 7-inch Kindle Fire HD (starting at $139), a 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX (from $229), and an ultra-skinny 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX (from $379). In one fell swoop, Amazon:

For the history of humanity, for one person to make a difference, the individual had to convince many others to join the pursuit. And the convincing part was tough — whether you were Martin Luther or Martin Luther King, Jr., the amount of effort was high, and the probability of success was low. (Certainly the list of people who tried to change the world and failed is long; it's just that we won't know their names, which itself is part of my point.) From Christopher Columbus to Steve Jobs, individual power has really only amounted to much infrequently, and only when backed by very large and wealthy entities. Kings and queens financed the discovery of the Americas; Wall Street and venture capital bankrolled Silicon Valley.

Tablets aren't the most powerful computing gadgets. But they are the most convenient.
They're bigger than the tiny screen of a smartphone, even the big ones sporting nearly 5-inch screens.
They have longer battery life and always-on capabilities better than any PC — and will continue to be better at that than any ultrathin/book/Air laptop. That makes them very handy for carrying around and using frequently, casually, and intermittently even where there isn't a flat surface or a chair on which to use a laptop.
And tablets are very good for information consumption, an activity that many of us do a lot of. Content creation apps are appearing on tablets. They'll get a lot better as developers get used to building for touch-first interfaces, taking advantage of voice input, and adding motion gestures.
They're even better for sharing and working in groups. There's no barrier of a vertical screen, no distracting keyboard clatter, and it just feels natural to pass over a tablet, like a piece of paper, compared to spinning around a laptop.

We talk to product strategists in a wide variety of industries. Regardless of the vertical industry of their companies, they tell us that the release of new, disruptive products -- like Apple's iPad -- changes their relationships with their customers. Oftentimes, nearly overnight.
Whether their product comes in the form of "bits" (content, like media, software, or games) or "atoms" (physical products, like shoes, consumer packaged goods, or hardware), consumer product strategists must navigate a world filled with a dizzying array of new devices (like mobile phones, tablet computers, connected TVs, game consoles, eBook readers, and of course PCs). We call this proliferation of devices the Splinternet, a world in which consumers access the digital world across a diverse and growing number of hardware and platforms. And product strategists have to react by developing new apps, by crafting digital product experiences, and by rethinking their product marketing.
Delivering digital products across the Splinternet isn't easy: It requires understanding -- and acting upon -- an ever-changing landscape of consumer preferences and behaviors. It also requires reapportioning scarce resources -- for example, from web development to iPad or Android development. Yet product strategists who fail to contend with newly disruptive devices (like the iPad or Xbox Kinect) will find themselves in danger of being left behind -- no matter what industry they're in.
We'd like to invite product strategists to take our super-quick, two-minute survey to help us better understand how you are reacting to disruptions caused by the Splinternet:
Thank you!

That's right, I said eReaders. True, it looks like a tablet, runs like a tablet, and delivers a lot of the value that tablets deliver, but the Nook Color's 1.2 upgrade (which is actually a step up to Android 2.2; don't let the numbers confuse you too much) is really a foreshadowing of the future of eReaders, not the future of tablets.
First, the facts. With the new upgrade that will be gradually pushed out to all existing Nook Color devices for free over the next few weeks (or you can download now at www.nookcolor.com/update), the folks at B&N have added some very useful features: an integrated email client, Flash 10.1 support, a curated Android app store (see sidebar), and an improved user experience through a myriad of tweaks. These upgrades make the Nook Color look more and more like a tablet, with a very attractive $249 price point to boot.
Must the iPad now cower in fear? No, not really. Because even at this price point, the Nook Color remains a smaller, less powerful tablet than the iPad. And as we've seen, the range of competitors coming in after the iPad's territory are coming in at higher prices with more powerful features (for example, last week I dropped $529 for an LG G-Slate from T-Mobile with 3D video camera and 4G data plan). The tablet market is gradually moving into higher-power features, not lower-power experiences.

Today, Amazon announced the Amazon Cloud Drive. I think it is the first salvo in a series of steps that will lead Amazon to compete directly for the primary computing platform for individuals, as an online platform, as a device operating system, and as a maker of branded tablets.
Much of the attention is going to the Amazon Cloud Player, announced at the same time, which enables customers to stream music stored in Cloud Drive – Forrester's Mark Mulligan blogged about that for Consumer Product Strategists (Amazon Beats Apple and Google to the Locker Room). But the general purpose design of Cloud Drive, combined with the long-term opportunities for personal cloud services, lead to a really interesting set of possibilities and insights into Amazon's long-term strategy for Vendor Strategists trying to sort out the technologies and players of next-generation personal computing platforms.

Today The New York Times is reporting that Apple is changing its policy for allowing apps to deliver content that was paid for somewhere other than in the app where Apple would get a cut. This came to light when Sony was forced to explain why its iPhone and iPad apps were not being released as promised. This is important to illustrate clearly because this is not just about Sony. In fact, it is expected that Apple will apply this same policy to existing apps over the coming months. The most obvious target is Amazon.com's Kindle store, but we have no reason to believe it will stop with eBook retailers; instead, this policy should also affect magazines, newspapers, even videos and games.
This represents a shift for Apple. Going back to the iPod days, Apple only sold music because it helped sell iPods. When Apple added the iPhone app store, it allowed Amazon to add a Kindle app because it would only make iPhones more valuable to potential buyers. The same held true for the iPad. But now that the company has built such a powerful ecosystem of devices, content, and consumers, it appears Apple is eager to ensure it can collect any and all tolls along its proprietary highways. I note this with some irony because it was just three weeks ago that I praised Apple's surprising openness in a report explaining the iPad's rapid growth:

Time to get my hands a bit dirty. Last week I posted an eBook forecast with a brief explanation of why the book business may complete its digital revolution more quickly than other media businesses have. Turns out this assertion was more difficult to hear than I anticipated and I got some very insistent (and worth reading) comments. The discussion that ensued both on the blog and outside of it was very complex, this is not a simple matter. However, there are parts of it that are very simple that I have to clarify, even though it means rolling up my sleeves a bit. Allow me to draw into this discussion John Thompson of Cambridge University who gave a very worthwhile interview to the Brooklyn Rail this month to discuss his recently published analysis of the book industry, Merchants of Culture. I will refer to just one of his specific comments:
"There are many people who just love books and they love the ideas that are expressed in books; they love the stories that are told through books and all of it. They're very attached to it.... They cherish the book. And they believe that this is an artifact that they want in their lives. And some of the technological commentators in this industry just completely miss this point."

Consider it an inauguration of sorts, a celebration of the eBook industry becoming a member of the major media club just as digital music and online video have before them. When you influence a billion dollars, people have to take you seriously. In the book business, it means that traditional publishers can no longer live in deny-and-delay mode; meanwhile, digital publishers get invited to better parties and people in other media businesses like TV and magazines look over and wonder if they could cut a slice of this new pie just for them.
To honor the occasion, we have just published our five-year forecast for eBooks in the US for Forrester clients. The punchline is this: 2010 will end with $966 million in eBooks sold to consumers. By 2015, the industry will have nearly tripled to almost $3 billion, a point at which the industry will be forever altered.
Right now, the number to track – and the one that determines how many eBooks will sell – is the percent of a consumer's books that are bought and consumed digitally. To get at this number, we have to understand how people get books today. Did you know that the two most common ways people get books today is borrowing them from a friend or getting them from the library? Evidently content – at least in the book business – is already quite free, even without the help of digital.

Today, amid the kind of rumor and speculation that is more typical of a Silicon Valley announcement, Barnes & Noble unveiled its NOOKcolor, a second NOOK to complement the barely one-year-old original. The NOOKcolor brings a 7" color LCD touch tablet device to the reading market, filling a gap between today's grayscale eReaders that use eInk technology and tablet PCs like the iPad.
This move puts B&N ahead of both Amazon and Sony -- the longtime holders of the number 1 and number 2 slots in the eReader business. Not ahead in terms of device sales, because this new NOOK, priced at $249, will be likely to drive a few hundred thousand units before year-end. But ahead in terms of vision. Because one day, all eReaders will be tablets, just as all tablets are already eReaders.
There are three good reasons why tablet readers are the right thing for the industry to move toward:

Thanks to all who gave suggestions as to what my initialization problem is.
All essentially suggested that I was specifying too much in the context of
the file I was trying to read in, and all suggested just saying
That doesn't work either, because at the point the Windows front end is reading
the init.m file, it apparently hasn't assigned Packages to its search path;
I'd already tried this and gotten a "cannot find file" message. It seems that
under the present front end, one can either properly load the entire kernel,
_or_ one can autoload other packages using init.m, but not both.
I've just learned from WRI that they're releasing a new Windows front end.
While they don't say that this problem is specifically fixed, they do note that`there are lots of problems with the current front end, and hope that the new
version will handle them.
Thanks again.

Courtesy of Columbia Sports Information/Media Relations
NEW YORK -- Scott Ramsey has
been named Columbia's Head Women's Rowing Coach, Dr. M.
Dianne Murphy, Director, Intercollegiate Athletics and
Physical Education, announced today. No stranger to Columbia
Rowing, Ramsey assisted with two Columbia rowing teams from 2007-09
and returns to Morningside Heights following a two-year stint as an
assistant women's rowing coach and head novice coach at the
University of Iowa.
"We are delighted to have Scott lead our women's rowing program," said Murphy. "Scott is an excellent mentor who understands The Ivy League and appreciates the vision, mission and values of our athletics program. We are confident that he will be successful here at Columbia."
Ramsey has experience coaching at every level in the rowing world. He has worked with the US Rowing Women's National Team Pre-Elite Camp, collegiately at both Iowa and Columbia and also was a rowing coach at St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia and at the Agnes Irwin School in nearby Rosemont, Pa., where he led the varsity eight to its first Inter-Ac League Championship in 2007.
Having coached at Iowa for the past two years, Ramsey was the recruiting coordinator for the Hawkeyes' women's rowing program while leading Iowa's novice squad. He spearheaded domestic and international recruiting efforts that yielded one of Iowa's largest incoming classes in recent years. While at Iowa, Ramsey also created a training program for the technical, physiological and mental development of walk-on and recruited student-athletes.
During his time at Columbia, Ramsey was an assistant with both the women's and heavyweight rowing programs. He selected and coached the women's varsity fours during the 2008 racing season, then assisted with the 2009 heavyweight second varsity eight during its run to the IRA National Regatta. That year, Columbia finished 12th in the nation, the highest finish for a Columbia second varsity in program history.
Ramsey graduated in 2004 from Penn, where he was a three-year varsity letterwinner for the heavyweight rowing team.

Journal of Social and Personal Relationships is an international and interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal that publishes the highest quality original research on social and personal relationships.
1. Peer review policy
Journal of Social and Personal Relationships operates a strictly blinded peer review process in which the reviewer's name is withheld from the author and, the author's name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two (and generally three) referees. Papers from graduate students or recent PhDs are especially welcomed and will, if the authors explicitly request it, receive extra attention (i.e. one additional reviewer). All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, and an editorial decision is generally reached within 3-4 months of submission.

2. Article types
Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (JSPR) is an international and interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal that publishes empirical and theoretical papers on social and personal relationships. It is multidisciplinary in scope, drawing materials from, among others, the fields of social psychology, clinical psychology, communication, developmental psychology, family studies and sociology. The Journal considers the following kinds of article for publication:
1. Research Reports, describing new empirical findings;
(a) Full papers
(b) Short reports
2. Review Articles. The Editor wishes to encourage the following types of review, but request that authors contact them in advance:
(a) general reviews that provide a synthesis of an area of social and personal relationships;
(b) critiques - focused and provocative reviews that are followed by a number of invited commentaries, with a concluding reply from the main author;
(c) Viewpoint article - a research-based commentary, preferably on a currently relevant issue, targeting either the research community, the political agenda or both. The emphasis is on policy recommendations, but the article should be based on a succinct and balanced summary of existing research on the issue.
3. Meta-analyses
Full papers and review articles are generally restricted to a maximum of 9,000 words including all elements (title page, abstract, notes, references, tables, biographical statement, etc.). Short reports are generally restricted to 3,000 words including all elements (title page, abstract, notes, references, tables, biographical statement, etc.). We are reluctant to burden our referees with very long manuscripts. Authors who suspect that their articles will have to be cut anyway should make the required deletions before submitting.

Intensification of seasonal extremes given a 2°C global warming target

Current international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit human-induced global-mean near-surface temperature increases to 2°C, relative to the pre-industrial era, are intended to avoid possibly significant and dangerous impacts to physical, biological, and socio-economic systems. However, it is unknown how these various systems will respond to such a temperature increase because their relevant spatial scales are much different than those represented by numerical global climate models—the standard tool for climate change studies. This deficiency can be addressed by using higher-resolution regional climate models, but at great computational expense. The research presented here seeks to determine how a 2°C global-mean temperature increase might change the frequency of seasonal temperature extremes, both in the United States and around the globe, without necessarily resorting to these computationally-intensive model experiments. Results indicate that in many locations the regional temperature increases that accompany a 2°C increase in global mean temperatures are significantly larger than the interannual-to-decadal variations in seasonal-mean temperatures; in these locations a 2°C global mean temperature increase results in seasonal-mean temperatures that consistently exceed the most extreme values experienced during the second half of the 20th Century. Further, results indicate that many tropical regions, despite having relatively modest overall temperature increases, will have the most substantial increase in number of hot extremes. These results highlight that extremes very well could become the norm, even given the 2°C temperature increase target.

Deal struck on VA health care
WASHINGTON — After more than six weeks of sometimes testy talks, House and Senate negotiators have agreed on a compromise plan to fix a veterans health program scandalized by long patient wait times and falsified records covering up delays.
The chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees scheduled a news conference for this afternoon to unveil a plan expected to authorize billions in emergency spending to lease 27 new clinics, hire more doctors and nurses and make it easier for veterans who can't get prompt appointments with VA doctors to obtain outside care.
An agreement reached Sunday by Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was a long time coming.
The House and Senate approved bills on veterans health care in early June, and lawmakers from both parties said they expected a final bill by July 4.
Instead, negotiators met once in public, then disappeared or held private meetings that produced few results.
Talks reached a low point last Thursday, as Sanders and Miller had a public spat that appeared to leave the two sides far apart, with only days remaining until Congress goes on a five-week recess.
Sanders, who chairs the Senate veterans panel, and Miller, chairman of the House panel, repeatedly lashed out at each other.
Sanders accused Miller of acting in bad faith, while Miller said Sanders had "moved the goalposts" in talks to fix veterans' health care.
A partisan impasse loomed, even as both sides said they hoped to avoid what Miller called the "sort of bickering and name-calling for which Washington has become infamous."
Three days later, after talks by telephone from Florida and Vermont, Miller and Sanders were on the same page.
Aides to the two men said Sunday they had reached a tentative agreement. The deal requires a vote by a conference committee of House and Senate negotiators, and votes in the full House and Senate.
Miller and Sanders said in a joint statement that they "made significant progress" over the weekend toward agreement on legislation to reform the Veterans Affairs Department, which has been rocked by reports of patients dying while awaiting VA treatment and mounting evidence that workers falsified or omitted appointment schedules to mask frequent, long delays.
The resulting election-year firestorm forced VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign in late May.
The plan set to be announced today is intended to "make VA more accountable and to help the department recruit more doctors, nurses and other health care professionals," Miller and Sanders said.
Louis Celli, legislative director for the American Legion, the nation's largest veterans group, said the deal would provide crucial help to veterans who have been waiting months or even years for VA health care.
"There is an emergency need to get veterans off the waiting lists. That's what this is all about," Celli said Sunday.

I am new to Themeforest but not new to design… I am starting a new project and have it about 60-65% complete and want to get the communities feedback on the site… I still need to work on the fonts/spacing and other formatting, but I want to get feedback on the concept design and how it can be improved… Over the next two weeks I will be modifying it and updating it quite extensively (based on input).... Please leave input and suggestions so that I can try and make a better site for the users…
New to ThemeForest ?
Well I am new in the sense that this is my first time creating and submitting a theme… I have been around the site for awhile…. but never submitted a theme
Hey, there's a few contrast issues some text is hard to read & almost matches the background. There's a few code problems too, i.e. sometimes clicking to different sections is buggy. The scroller is a pain, it scrolls a little bit too slow with my mousewheel. It could use some work
Good luck, Taaz
Thanks for the information… You are correct about the colors as I have not addressed that specifically yet… I will go ahead and take care of that within the week as well as any of the click issues. I will also take a look into the scrolling…. I really appreciate the feedback…
Thanks, David
Hey man not bad, your scroller should be on the right of the content cus it does not show once the page loads each section. Good idea and i think there is some uniqueness. Just make it top notch. Select your font, colors carefully and make sure that all the animations are smooth.
Make nice buttons and graphical elements so they stand out. I use the grayscale for my templates makes all the images stand out.
Excellent suggestions… I will go ahead and apply them in my updates next week…. I was thinking of abandoning the arrows for the "left to right" navigation and allowing the user to drag/swipe on the horizontal plane… What do you think about that ? I think that the user experience would be somewhat enhanced ? You are also correct about the buttons and text… I am starting with the typography and should also finish it for my 90% review… but the comments are merited here at the 60%.
Themezilla is a total different company…. My logo and there logo has nothing to do with each other.
Agree, i thought about themezilla first when i saw it too. Could be changed to a name that would also fit more with the design.
The concept is promising. Still you have to polish the code, there are some bugs here and there (i wont take time to list, as you are not done with it yet).
Then you have to work more on design of the menu. Typo, spacing… Probably the little scrollbar on right should be more visible.
The general concept is a great idea, use the 40% to push it further and you will have a pretty cool theme.

New Jersey Kicks Tesla to the Curb
New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission adopted a new rule banning the direct sales of automobiles in the state—delivering a blow to electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla.
On Tuesday, the NJ MVC adopted a rule requiring auto dealers to have a franchise agreement with an automaker in order to sell cars in the state.
Tesla, however, doesn't use dealers—its stores are owned by the company. Tesla maintains that because it's introducing a new type of vehicle to consumers, the company needs to be able to communicate directly with consumers. (Another factor: the company manufactures 21,000 cars a year—not large enough to support a dealership network.)
The new MVC rule takes effect April 1.
Kevin Roberts, a spokesperson with Governor Christie's office, indicated the state's move was not a surprise. "Since Tesla first began operating in New Jersey one year ago, it was made clear that the company would need to engage the Legislature on a bill to establish their new direct-sales operations under New Jersey law," he said. "This administration does not find it appropriate to unilaterally change the way cars are sold in New Jersey without legislation and Tesla has been aware of this position since the beginning."
But Tesla said it had been negotiating with the state and complained the company had been blindsided by the decision. "The statute in New Jersey plainly allows Tesla to be licensed to sell cars there," said Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla's vice president of business development. "The Motor Vehicle Commission has licensed Tesla under that statute ever since October 2012, and any suggestion that Tesla was told 'since the beginning' about any problem with its ability to be licensed there is false."
The company followed up with a blog post calling the MVC's decision "an affront to the very concept of a free market."
There are two Tesla stores in New Jersey malls—one at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus and one in Short Hills—as well as a service center. All told, Tesla employes 27 people in the state.
Texas and Arizona are the only other states to have banned the direct sales of cars to consumers.

Train derails in Delaware Co
DELAWARE, Ohio (WTVN) -- Dozens of train cars jumped the tracks around 2 p.m. Tuesday northeast of Delaware.
The Delaware County Sheriff's office says no one was injured and there is no danger to the public since the train was carrying only grain.
"Having a hard time counting all the train cars that are involved in it. If I had to guess I'd say 25 or 30 kind of twisted up," said Steve Slater, pilot of Sky6 from our news partners at ABC6.
The derailment happened in the area of U.S. 42 and Horseshoe Road.
Norfolk Southern operates the train, but said the derailment also damaged tracks owned by CSX in the area.
NS does not have an estimated time for when all of the cars will be re-railed and the spilled contents removed from the scene.
The train had two crew members, three locomotives and 87 loaded cars. It departed Clarksfield, Ohio, and was heading for Loudon, Tenn.

That's it! I am going boycott the holidays. I can't handle it anymore. I am sick and tired of being left at home while my parents go to holiday parties, and don't get me started on being left alone on Christmas while the rest of my family is happily opening presents elsewhere. This has got to change--and now! I was so bored yesterday and had so much pent-up energy that I couldn't fall asleep last night. And that is just not normal. I am usually the first one to bed and the last one to rise--I am definitely not a morning doggie. You should have seen me last night. I would try to lay down and a few seconds later, some noise outside would stir me. Then I would have to bark, run to the back door, whine to be let out and, then a few minutes later, ask to be let back in. Then the cycle would happen again. I don't even care if it kept my parents up half the night. They deserve it--leaving me alone for hours on end while they have fun without me! It's so not fair!!!
This is the first entry in my new Dogster account diary and I have bunches to tell you. I was not a happy camper this weekend (but I did try to put on a good face for my brothers' sakes). My dad brought this crazy old Pomeranian home last Friday. If I haven't told you yet, I am just a teenzy bit spoiled--I am the youngest of three children and the only girl, you know. My mommy thought she was a puppy and wanted to keep her, much to my chagrin--but thankfully my parents found her owner. She was in MY house for two whole days, and she made such a racket. The poor thing had a bad cough that my 'rents thought was a cold. The good thing about this was we all got to go to the vet--which means another car ride and lots of new people to meet! I have to tell you a secret: I love being the center of attention and I love meeting new friends, furry or otherwise!! Well back to my story, my weekend was ruined by this puny little dog. I didn't get to go to the pet store or dog park, and I didn't get to be the center of everyone's attention for two whole days. Now I know what it must feel like to be Harry or Otis. Must be why they sleep so much--depression.
BTW, I hope I meet some nice new friends on this site. My mom says I need to get out more and find some new hobbies. =D

The 12 Most Intense Rivalries
Since there are more than 7 billion people on this planet, it's pretty obvious we're not all going to like the same things. Usually, we try and accept that we're going to disagree about what is "the best," but there are a few occasions when we are allowed to get aggressive with someone because they're just flat out wrong. Check out some of the fiercest rivalries in the world, and don't forget that the Hatfields and McCoys feud begins on Memorial Day, at 9/8c on HISTORY.
1. Dogs vs Cats
Cats and dogs are very different creatures, but each will hook you up with some kind of affection when you need it. However, cats can be a drag because they require a written proposal of why they should come to your aid, and the way dogs are always ready and willing can be a turn-off.
2. Pepsi vs Coca Cola
Coke was introduced to the masses in 1886, and Pepsi was invented in 1898. This means that despite everything mankind has created and discovered in the past 114 years, we're still not above picking our roommates based on whether or not they drink the same soda that we do.
3. First Class vs Coach
Passengers seated in coach on airplanes will never walk by the people already seated in first class without glaring at them. And the people in first class will never get good enough at faking a phone call to avoid the gaze.
4. Blackberry vs iPhone
Who's going to update Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story" to be about the streetfights between the "touchers" and the "clickers?"
5. Republicans vs Democrats
It's rare for these two groups to agree on policies, but somehow they both concur that they're under the most pressure to solve the cats vs. dogs quandary.
6. McDonald's vs Burger King
We all agree that both mascots are pretty creepy, but we're still battling over who's more reliable in the French fry department.
7. Good vs Evil
This is a toughie. No matter how many little angel sculptures we use to decorate our lawns, evil just keeps giving good a run for his money. We can't wait to see how this one turns out.
8. Chocolate vs Vanilla
Sometimes it's hard to choose between chocolate and vanilla. Fortunately, no one's holding a taser to your neck right now and making you.
9. The Boston Red Sox vs The New York Yankees
Perhaps the fiercest rivalry in baseball is the one between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. It's interesting though, because it's not like the players don't have any way of settling the thing once and for all.
10. Regular Pencils vs Mechanical Pencils
One requires constant sharpening, the other requires extra money spent on little (and easy to misplace) boxes of refills. They do the same thing, and yet… WHICH TO USE FOR BETTER RESULTS??!!
11. Sega vs Nintendo
Which did you prefer: the speedy but nonverbal hedgehog, or the Italian brothers with a love of mushrooms containing growth hormones?
12. Chunky vs Creamy
What, you've never liked the idea of adding a little risk to the process of ingesting that PBJ?

Our focus has been checking the pieces for fit and function, for performance and also comfort. These new H&M Sport pieces will help everyone get the most out of their sporting life.
The company will promote the new line in all its locations worldwide beginning next year.

Happy thanksgiving to all, I would like to ask everybody's opinion on what my bike is worth. It is a '98 Honda CBR1100XX, 1169 miles, last riden in '04, last started about 2-3 years ago, dropped once in my driveway by myself, about a 1"-2" crack in fairing, slight scuff on clutch handle/ grip, bike has been stored in a shed since I have owned it since '00, black, Yoshi headers & pipe, muffler. still have all stock parts. Probably as a minimum needs: battery, all fluids changed, tune-up, new tires and / or tires & tubes, possibly chain from not moving for a while. I know that it is extremely difficult to establish a price / value without seeing the bike, but I am not set up to take any pictures. It is in extremely beautiful condition other than dusty other than described as above. I am too old to start riding again, have lost all interest, etc. Thanks for any estimates that you guys might make. The bike is and has been in SoKali all of its life. Currently Kali registered & have all tags, (stickers) in hand or on license plate.

Guigal Ermitage Ex Voto Blanc 2009
Rhone White Blends from Hermitage, Rhone, France
Winemaker's Notes
The white comes from two parcels, les Murets and L'Hermite. A blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, the wine spends approximately 18 months in new oak casks and is bottled without fining or filtration. Ex Voto Blanc is produced only in exceptional vintages. These two wines represent the pinnacle of the appellation, with exceptional concentration and great potential longevity.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "This has hyperdrive, with terrific, enveloping mango, papaya and creamed melon flavors supported by a spine of chamomile, quinine and white peach. The long finish sports brioche, paraffin and macadamia nut notes. Shows excellent range. Best from 2013 through 2023. 583 cases made."
The Wine Advocate - "Finally in bottle, the 2009 Hermitage Ex-Voto Blanc is an incredible example of white Hermitage. Made in a more spicy, oaky style than either Michel Chapoutier's or Delas' white Hermitage, the Ex-Voto exhibits tremendous richness and intensity with plenty of buttery citrus, a subtle touch of spicy oak, honeysuckle, spring flowers and orange marmalade. Deep, rich and full-bodied with a greenish hue to its color, this viscous effort will probably follow the typical pattern of white Hermitage, drinking great for 5-7 years, then going into a dumb, oxidative state for 5-10 years, re-emerging to last 50+ years."
International Wine Cellar - "(made from 95% marsanne and 5% roussanne): Pale gold. A powerfully scented bouquet evokes fresh tropical and citrus fruits, white flowers and minerals, with notes of honey and nougat adding depth. Juicy, focused and pure, offering vibrant pineapple and orange flavors that gain weight with air. Closes with strong mineral cut and superb persistence, leaving floral and mineral notes behind."

Guigal Winery
The Guigal domain was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the ancient village of Ampuis, home of the wines of the Côte-Rôtie. In these vineyards that are over 2400 years old, you can still see the small terraced walls characteristic of the Roman period. Etienne Guigal arrived in this region in 1923 at the age of 14. He made wine for over 67 vintages and, at the beginning of his career, participated in the development of the Vidal-Fleury establishment.
Despite his young age, Marcel Guigal took over from his father in 1961 when the latter was victim to a brutal illness rendering him blind. Marcel's hard work and perseverance enabled the Guigals to buy out Vidal-Fleury in 1984, although the establishment retains its own identity and commercial autonomy. In 2000, the Guigals purchased the Jean-Louis Grippat estate in Saint-Joseph and Hermitage, as well as the Domaine de Vallouit in Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage.
In the cellars of the Guigal estate in Ampuis, the northern appellations of the Rhône Valley are produced and aged. These are the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. The great appellations of the Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Tavel and Côtes-du-Rhône, are also aged in the Ampuis cellars. View all Guigal Wines
About HermitageView a map of Hermitage wineries (EHR-me-tahj) and Crozés-Hermitage (krohz EHR-me-tahj)
Notable FactsSyrah is the only varietal permitted in the red wines, while whites are typically blends of both Marsanne and Roussanne. All three varieties grow on the Hermitage hill. The red wines of Hermitage are powerful, age-worthy wines, often commanding prices similar to those of top Bordeaux. They are big in fruit and tight in tannins, but with a few years of age (from three years to three decades) they are beautifully complex, perfumed and sensuous. Their whites are somewhat mineral-driven, and depending on the blend, may have an almost oily texture (in a good way!).
Like the island of Manhattan, once all the land of Hermitage is gone, the land is gone – hard to create sprawl from an already established hill. So winemakers planted in the vineyards surrounding Hermitage, in the much larger and flatter appellation of Crozés-Hermitage. The area produces wines of the same make-up of Hermitage – reds from Syrah, whites from Marsanne and Roussanne. Red wines are allowed up to 15% of the white varieties. Some of the reds are full of fruit flavor and ready to drink now, while others are trying to follow Hermitage, by making wines with lots of power and longevity. The whites are few, but enjoyable with good fruit and the same texture of those from Hermitage.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.
