Ceridian Corporation, a global provider of human capital management solutions, announces that Trail Creek Investments has gone live today on Dayforce Payroll, Workforce Management, Entitlements and Human Resources. The company, which is comprised of two divisions - National Coating and Supplies and American Welding & Gas, Inc. - decided on Dayforce HCM due to its usability as a single application, requiring no interfaces between modules that simplifies and accelerates business processes.
"The Dayforce HCM implementation process has been terrific, and we have been very pleased with what Ceridian has provided," says Mike Devries, vice president of human resources for Trail Creek Investments. "The single, user-friendly application offered by Dayforce will enable us to easily transfer employees from one business unit to the next, a process that has always caused us problems."
Dayforce HCM transforms human capital management from a collection of disparate systems reliant on fragile interfaces to a single, robust, real-time application with one employee record, one user experience and zero interfaces. Dayforce HCM enhances employee engagement and productivity, while greatly reducing administration time and costs. This single application includes Payroll, Tax, Workforce Management, Benefits, and Human Resources. Dayforce Payroll enables employees to view, edit, fix and preview payroll in real-time, eliminating batch processing and trial run to ensure employees are compensated accurately and on time. Dayforce Workforce Management allows managers to plan and forecast labor requirements, aligns schedules with labor demand, and ensures accurate time tracking and compliance. Dayforce Benefits manages employee enrollment, calculates eligibility and supports an unlimited number of plan types to administer accurate, compliant and accessible benefit plans across the organization. Dayforce HR Self-Service increases manager productivity and employee engagement by allowing mobile access to view and make changes to their status through approved workflows and to manage schedules through shift trading, availability management and time-off requests.
"I am pleased that Trail Creek Investments has chosen to implement and embrace Dayforce HCM," says David Ossip, president of Ceridian Dayforce. "We are very much looking forward to working with the company as it improves its operational performance using our solution."

View from Southern Ledges on Paugus
Mount Paugus 3198' Mount Mexico 2020'
Cabin Trail/Lawrence Trail/Old Paugus Trail/Big Rock Cave Trail
8.1 miles 2800'
Kevin, Judy, Emma and Blue
Paugus is one we have been meaning to visit for a long time. We were dog sitting Blue, so thought it was a good opportunity to get us all out on the trail. It seems like forever since we've done any hiking together. At the trailhead Blue was ready to go! Emma trotted along in her usual conservative style while Blue bounded back and forth across the trail in search of chipmunks and red squirrels. He soon understood we were in it for a long haul and came back to the trail to conserve his energy as the day became more hot and humid than expected..
Off We Go!
We never tire of taking new trails and exploring new places, seeking out views and just enjoying our time together in the woods. We took the Cabin Trail up to the ridge where it meets the Lawrence Trail and things went well. We met another couple at the junction with the Whiten Brook Trail and we leap-frogged with them most of the rest of the day, and shared lunch on the southern ledges of Mount Paugus. We never made the short bushwhack to the summit of Paugus to sign the canister as the dogs were hot and hungry and we saw no obvious spot to attempt it. We will however do this on a return trip.
Emma Chooses the Root
There was good cloud cover for most of the day so the sun was not much of a problem, but it was surprisingly and disappointingly humid after the beautiful dry day I had on the Hancocks earlier in the week. Despite the big hike on Wednesday Emma seemed quite ready to go again and did very well considering the temps and humidity. We spent a good amount of time on the ledges taking in the view and enjoying the day. The dogs ate enough for a wolf pack, and we saw a few other couples while on the ledges. When we headed back down, continuing in a clock-wise loop and after leaving the other couple we had met earlier we saw no one else for the rest of the hike.
View from Upper Ledges
Following Old Paugus Trail down we stopped at Whiten Brook which was running well and provided a cool refresher for the rest of the hike. The trail down had been rough with lots of blowdowns, but now we picked up the Big Rock Cave Trail which seemed much better footing and fewer blowdowns. We stopped at the caves and Blue and I did some exploring. It was a very cool spot, but like anything in the Whites called a "Cave", it was merely a pile of jumbled rocks with passages big enough to walk through, or crawl depending on which you took. "Big Rock" is certainly an appropriate name for this spot as it is indeed a "Big Rock" with many smaller good sized boulders strewn about to form the "Caves".
Big Rock Cave
We were soon back on the trail and continued to climb up to the viewless summit of Mount Mexico. From there it was an easy hike out, but it had been a longer day with more elevation than really expected. Combined with the humidity we were all hot and a bit tired at the end. Heading back south along rte. 113A we took Fowler's Mill Rd. towards Chocorua Lake and had a dip. Blue had enough energy left to "rescue" some sticks before we packed up and headed home. It was another great day in the mountains!

This report, based on a survey of a nationally representative sample of school districts in Common Core-adopting states, examines school districts' efforts to implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The report addresses district leaders' views on the rigor of the CCSS and their impact on learning and instruction, progress on and challenges in implementing the standards, outreach efforts to inform various stakeholders about the CCSS, district collaboration with other entities on various implementation activities, and the types and helpfulness of CCSS-related assistance from the state education agency.View Report
The annual PDK/Gallup Poll of the Public's Attitudes Toward the Public Schools is coming out. It always gives us an important view of what Americans are thinking about their schools and education in general. There are important issues covered in the poll and we would do well to consider what the public is saying about our schools and we in Washington and across the country make and consider policy and initiatives for our future.

The Center on Education Policy and the Center for Health and Health Care in Schools created this user-friendly guide that highlights 15 federal elementary and secondary education programs where the statutory language or the regulations/guidance that accompanies a program appear to permit funds to be used to support universal prevention programs and social and emotional learning initiatives. The guide also provides examples of schools, districts, and state education agencies that have successfully supported their prevention programs with federal education dollars. An annotated bibliography of significant research regarding the impacts of school-based behavioral and emotional health interventions on student academic performance accompanies the guide.

As part of a broader project to better connect the research on Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to policy and practice, CEP met with individuals from organizations representing state and local education policymakers to learn of their memberships' research and data needs around the Common Core. The conversations yielded four areas of policy-related research that will be needed in the coming year: (1) case studies of successful implementation of the CCSS; (2) studies of state and local CCSS outreach strategies; (3) studies of state education agency capacity to lead the CCSS implementation; and (4) analyses of the impact of federal education requirements on CCSS implementation.View Report
Several important education authorization bills are languishing in the U.S. Congress, victims of sharp policy and political differences with the White House. But things are somewhat quieter now, so it might be a good time for Democrats and Republicans alike to find some common ground by looking at what has worked to improve education in the past.

When the most recent PISA scores were released last fall, there was a flurry of headlines about America's stagnant public schools. American students were characterized as being asleep at the wheel and in need of a major wake-up call. If we really wanted the public to look closer and try to understand why PISA, NAEP and other kinds of assessments are important, we would need to do more than just shame public schools. We would need to have a thoughtful and nuanced conversation about why some education systems have been able to improve student performance and others have not. We would have to look at culture, resources, leadership, teacher training and national sentiment. We would have to analyze gaps of all kinds, not just achievement. And we would have to use the information to help teachers and education leaders understand why others are making progress without humiliating them in the comparison.

This October 2013 blog, written by CEP deputy director Diane Stark Rentner for the Hunt Institute's Intersection, summarizes the major key findings from CEP's 3013 survey of state education agencies' on the implementation of the Common Core State Standards.

The Center on Education Policy, with generous support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, convened two meetings in 2013 to focus on the need for a more relevant and coordinated research agenda on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The idea behind this project was that the research agenda for the CCSS and aligned assessments should be informed not only by the interest areas of leading researchers, but also by the needs of policymakers and practitioners. In order to do that, the traditional roles, relationships, and incentives that have long kept researchers, policymakers, and practitioners huddled within their own silos will need to change. This summary report details the key findings from those meetings and makes recommendations for developing a robust and timely research agenda for the CCSS that informs both policy and practice.View Report
On November 4, 2013, the Center on Education Policy at the George Washington University hosted the Education Writers' Association symposium on the Common Core State Standards.

A series of panel discussions featured some of the leading thinkers in education including CEP's Maria Ferguson and Diane Stark Rentner, Randi Weingarten (AFT), Marc Tucker (NECC), former Michigan Gov. John Engler, and author Amanda Ripley. For more information, visit EWA's website: www.ewa.org.View Meeting

The report finds that, although a direct federal role in implementing the Common Core State Standards has been controversial, a majority of states in the survey support legislative and/or regulatory changes to the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act to help them with their implementation efforts. The report also addresses the issue of within-state opposition to standards and finds that the vast majority of survey states do not anticipate their state's decision to adopt the standards will be reversed, limited or changed in 2013-14.View Report
This report describes states' early experiences in applying for flexibility from key requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), also known as NCLB waivers, and their plans for implementing the new systems outlined in their applications. Findings from the 38 survey states indicate states believe that the waivers address several of the problems they see with the NCLB accountability requirements, however, many state officials are concerned about what will happen to the programs and policies in their waiver plans if ESEA is reauthorized. These and other key findings that emerged from the survey results are presented in this report.View Report

These two reports examine issues related to the accountability systems that approved waiver states have created with the Obama Administration's No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) waiver requirements. The first report, What Impact Will NCLB Waivers Have on the Consistency, Complexity, and Transparency of State Accountability Systems?, compares the new accountability provisions in the waiver states with those in the NCLB statute. The report focuses on the complexity, transparency, and consistency of the new accountability systems in the waiver states, both on their own terms and in comparison with the NCLB statutory requirements. The second report, Accountability Issues to Watch under NCLB Waivers, highlights issues to lookout for over the next few years as states with waivers implement new accountability systems. For each of the issues discussed, the possible implications for public education systems, teachers, and students are considered.View Report
CEP's 11th annual report on state high school exit exams finds that states are embracing higher standards on their exit exams, which means schools and students will feel the impact. The report, based on data collected from state education department personnel in 45 states, discusses the present status of state exit exam policies, the future of these policies as states implement the Common Core State Standards and common assessments, and lessons that can be learned from states' past experiences with implementing new exit exam policies.

A Husker Walk-on's View of Ohio State
Chuck Sinclair, right, at last year's Nebraska-Ohio State game in Lincoln.
By Randy York
Because two of college football's five winningest teams will meet Saturday night for the first time in Ohio since black-and-white TV's were the rage in 1956, the N-Sider has a bonus columnist – an up-close and personal perspective from a former Husker football walk-on who has lived in Ohio for more than a quarter-century. He was a colleague of mine at the Lincoln Journal-Star, a longtime friend and a recently retired senior vice president of global communications at Goodyear in Akron, Ohio. Chuck Sinclair, brother Steve Sinclair (retired sports editor of the Omaha World–Herald) and I are eager to see former Buckeye Bo Pelini play chess with Urban Meyer on our collective first trips ever to Ohio State's famous Horseshoe, the home of Woody, Archie, Eddie and other legends. Since Ohio is now Chuck's home, we asked the former Lincoln Northeast and Nebraska freshman walk-on quarterback to describe the state's culture, to explain why football is just as big in Ohio's Capital City as it is in Nebraska's and what we should expect when we finally step inside the hallowed Horseshoe's 100,000-plus stadium. From here on out, this is his N-Sider:
By Chuck Sinclair
No one was happier than I was on June 11, 2010 when Tom Osborne announced Nebraska's new conference affiliation with the Big Ten. A diehard Nebraska fan living in Ohio for almost a quarter century, chances to see the Huskers in action were few and far between, save for an annual trip back to Lincoln to visit family and catch a game at Memorial Stadium.
All of a sudden my Huskers would be within easy driving distance, at Ann Arbor and East Lansing, State College, and yes, Columbus. In fact every game would be closer than the drive to Lincoln. When Nebraska's initial schedule was finalized, two dates were circled in red: Ohio State's Oct. 6, 2011 game in Lincoln, and Nebraska's Oct. 8, 2012 visit to the Horseshoe in Columbus. Both were must see for me.
To understand my love of all things Nebraska Cornhuskers, you need to understand the seeds that were planted early in life and nurtured over the years. I was a huge fan growing up in Nebraska. Every Nebraska kid is. As a youth in Columbus (Nebraska, not Ohio), I vividly remember listening to games on the radio on sunny fall afternoons while throwing the football around with my brothers Steve and Ron. We then moved to Lincoln when I was in the eighth grade. I saw my first game, met Tom Osborne when he visited my junior high, and snuck into every game I could in every conceivable way possible. I climbed the fences at the south end of the stadium, hid in the old Field House early in the morning before the gates opened, and even marched in the middle of the band when they would enter through an open gate in the southeast corner of the stadium. I also once signed up to sell ice cold Cokes in the stadium, but my bosses quickly figured out I wasn't interested in making money. I was there to watch football.
My life followed that trend. To stay close to Nebraska football in college, I even walked on as a freshman. With dreams that far outstripped my skills and physical capabilities, it just didn't matter. I was part of history - a freshman team of 100-plus players that included 11 who would be drafted into the NFL and part of winning two national championships. I was hooked, early and often.
If I couldn't play with the best, I finally decided I could write about them, and became a sportswriter for the Lincoln Journal-Star for 12 years. Even when I left the newspaper to join Goodyear in public relations, I worked on the stat crew in the press box.
Then in 1986 we packed the family up and moved to Ohio. Far from Lincoln, family and Nebraska football. Far from the Big 12. And far from many people who really cared about the Huskers … anywhere near as much as I did. It didn't matter to people in Ohio that Nebraska won five national championships between 1970 and 1996, far more success than anyone else in the Big Ten. Oh, they were all friendly. But you could always tell that no matter what you had accomplished, you weren't in the same league as they were. It wasn't just Ohio State. It was Michigan. It was Michigan State. It was Penn State.
But I now live in Ohio. That's why the specific dates were circled in red. I checked off the first date, driving the "ChuckWagon" RV out to Lincoln last fall with my two sons, Ryan and Brett, and their two Ohio State friends Joe Steuer and Dan Guzzo. My wife Sandy flew out ahead, forsaking the overnight trip on Thursday and return trip on Sunday.
What happened in between was pure heaven. We toured the stadium complex, the student-life center, the lockerroom, weight room, indoor practice facility. We ate dinner at Misty's and tailgated before and after the game. The second half comeback win was great. The experience and camaraderie was even better.
I've been in Memorial Stadium hundreds of times. After 26 years in Ohio, Saturday night I will take my first step into the confines of "The Shoe", at Ohio Stadium. I have tremendous respect for the stadium, and for the traditions around it, the Skull Session at St. John Arena, dotting of the I in script Ohio, and the on-the-field performance by the football team and the "Best Damn Band in the Land".
I've been a fan of the Ohio State program for years. I root for Ohio State whenever they're not playing Nebraska. I go to Ohio State- Michigan parties. I attended a 2002 national championship party when Ohio State beat Miami and cheered as loudly as anyone in the room. I don't want Nebraska to beat Ohio State because I hate Ohio State. I want Nebraska to beat Ohio State because I respect Ohio State.
Buckeye fans are as passionate, as proud, and as confident as any I've ever seen. I love Ohio State fans. But if I didn't know better, I'd say Ohio State had five national championships in the last 50 years instead of their two in the same timeframe.
Saturday night won't be like my favorite road trip ever. That was when Nebraska fans turned the legendary Notre Dame Stadium red in 2000 thanks to willing Notre Dame season ticket holders' desire to seize the financial opportunity. But I anticipate it being a close second - win or lose. It will, however, be in somewhat familiar surroundings. When I look at "The Shoe" I see almost a mirror image of Memorial Stadium. No two stadiums in my mind are more architecturally alike, right down to the turrets at the four corners of the stadium. The fans will be crazy wild - in a good way. And the play on the field, hopefully, will be the best it can be from both sides.
If that happens, win or lose, it will be a great experience. And ultimately the best team, the most deserving team, will win.
I love the B1G! I don't care what the rest of the country thinks right now. The conference will rise again - quickly - as will the two teams playing each other in Columbus Saturday night. By the way, a B1G Championship and Rose Bowl appearance would be a fitting parting gift for the young, impressive, red-headed assistant coach who visited my junior high almost 50 years ago. What a way to say "Thank you, Tom."

Mt. Cabot
York Pond Trail - Bunnell Notch Trail - Kilkenny Ridge Trail - Unknown Pond Trail
Distance: 10.3 mi.
Elevation Gain: 2,438 ft. (overall) 2,806 ft. (total)
Time: 3:30 (Mt. Cabot) 4:08 (The Bulge) 4:48 (The Horn) 7:19 (total)
The trail starts off very easy following old logging roads. It is well marked where you need to turn when the roads split or when the trail finally leaves the roads. When it leaves the roads it heads gradually up the notch that the brook is coming down. There are a couple log bridges on the trail, but this section isn't too wet. You stay to the right of the brook the entire time and are right next to is most of the time as well. This makes for some nice bacground noise as you hike. As you near the top of the notch the brook gradually becomes just a trickle and you quickly come into the softwood forrest. Here the snow hadn't melted much and there was a noticeable drop in temperature because of this.
Looking up to the peaks
Bunnell Notch Trail
Soon the Kilkenny Ridge Trail goes off to your right and you start to head back downhill gradually over the ridge. After a short distance the trail turns right at the now unmaintained Mt. Cabot Trail. Now you start to head back uphill and the trail gets a little rocky. Here I started coming into a layer of snow on the trail that soon became a constant on the hike. The trail makes a couple switchbacks in this section and you will pass a view on your right that is marked by an old sign that simply says "view" with an arrow. About 30 feet off the trail is the nice view from Bunnell Rock.
Bunnell Rock view to the Southwest
The trail continues at a similar incline with still some rocks on the surface. Soon you come to the small Cabot Cabin that has a nice view to the West from the porch. There is also an outhouse here should you need it. I stopped here to take in the views and check out the cabin. When I started back out there was immediately moose track heading up the trail the same direction I was. After a brief walk you soon get to the viewless summit of Mt. Cabot. There is almost a view to the West, but not really.
Cabot Cabin
With no view here I didn't spend much time before heading further along the trail and down from the summit towards The Bulge. I probably could/should have used my microspikes here, but they weren't quite needed. The trail is a little steep in spots, but all in all not bad (at least decending). It seemed to me like a longer descent than I expected and I thought the trail turned more to the right than it actually did here. Before long you are in the saddle and begin the gradual climb up to The Bulge.
Heading down from Mt. Cabot
The Bulge is very wooded and only marked by a small cairn. The decent from here is quick as well and soon you are at the spur to the Horn. This short hike is worth the effort for the great views that can be had from the peak of the rocks. from the writing in the snow it appears someone just recently finished their 4Ks on Mt. Cabot.
East from The Horn
It was windy up out of the trees and it seemed like I was running a little late, so I didn't spend too much time on the peak of The Horn before heading back down. Once back to the Kilkenny Ridge Trail, it follows along the Western side of Th eHorn gradually working its way down. The trail then heads uphill slightly as you near the Unknown Pond Trail. By this point the clouds had come in for a bit and the view of the pond wasn't as good.
Near Unknown Pond
By this point most of the snow was all gone again and I kept going now down the Unknown Pond Trail. Working past the pond this trail never gets really steep and is only a little rocky in a few places. It works along the left side of a ravine and past a large birch glade. The trail is pretty gradual, but did get a little muddy in sections. As the trail gets lower on the mountain it does cross the brook a couple times but these are pretty easy.
Pretty easy going
Nearing the end you come to a swampy area and go along the side before following an old railroad bed. While the ties are no longer there, you can see depressions in the ground where they use to be. Soon I was back at my truck without seeing a single hiker onthe trails. Just before leaving a group did hike back into the lot though.
Nearing the end of the Unknown Pond Trail
All in all the hike was a good one even with limited views most of the time. It was nice having the trails to myself all day. My sense of time was off today making me think I was constantly behind. I am sure this is due to daylight savings time and having been up since 3:30am with the 3.5 hr drive to the trailhead. It was interesting to see how much the moose were using the trails recently. I saw tracks as soon as I left the truck and there was good track between the cabin and the summit of Mt. Cabot. And the Unknown Pond Trail had track in it probably at least 1/3 of the way it seemed. Too bad I didn't see any of them though, just 6 grouse at various places.
For all the pictures from the hike, just go HERE

Cadel Evans and teammates George Hincapie, Michael Schär and Tejay van Garderen threw a scare into race leader Bradley Wiggins at the Critérium du Dauphiné Friday when the four BMC Racing Team riders forced the pace off the descent of the day's biggest climb.
'Opportunity Presented Itself'
Over the top of the Grand Colombier, which will be climbed at the Tour de France for the first time next month, the four were part of a group of 12 who were chasing an earlier breakaway. With Hincapie, Schär and van Garderen doing most of the work, they rapidly gained nearly a minute on Wiggins. "The move in the downhill was not planned, but it was a beautiful opportunity," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said. "We wanted to be in front for that descent to avoid problems. When we saw that some of the leaders were a little far behind, we tried our luck. It was a nice move, even if it was a bit far from the finish." Though Evans's group was eventually brought back by the chasing efforts of Wiggins' Team Sky, the defending Tour de France champion did move up one spot in the overall standings as Arthur Vichot (FDJ-BigMat) soloed to the stage win. Evans said it was good to see his teammates help him go on the offensive, perhaps setting the stage for another offensive in Saturday's 167.5 km stage that includes six categorized climbs. "Sometimes you have to take those opportunities when they come your way," he said. "In the end, it was reasonably successful because it moved me up one place on GC and it has the possibility of helping me at least get on the podium in the future."

Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini are the design team known as King Kong. The designs that were first made were of a very straightforward tray which had its edges perforated with a little man motif, like the ones children cut out with scissors. The Girotondo project went ahead without any particular hitches or special enthusiasm: nobody could have imagined this would become Alessi's best-selling tray! This playful cartoon language made its mark on design in the early 90s.

Aims and Scope
The B.E. Journal of Macroeconomics (BEJM) publishes significant research and scholarship in both theoretical and applied macroeconomics. The journal's mandate is to assemble papers from the broad research spectrum covered by modern macroeconomics. The range of topics includes business cycle research, economic growth, and monetary economics, as well as topics drawn from the substantial areas of overlap between macroeconomics and international economics, labor economics, finance, development economics, political economy, public economics, and econometric theory.
Benefits for authors include:
- Quality rating: Authors no longer need to trade off submitting to a more prestigious journal at the cost of an increased chance of rejection. We simultaneously consider each article for four different tiers distinguished by breadth of appeal and overall quality.
- Authors & Reviewers' Bank: Scholars enter a social contract to review other papers in a timely manner so their own papers are reviewed rapidly. Strong incentives for timely, quality reviews solve the free-rider problem.
- Top-caliber reviews: Reviewers who write especially insightful reviews will be invited by editors to publish them as comments. Reviewers can send questions to authors by anonymous email, so reviewers are less likely to misunderstand authors, and authors are more likely to avoid confused writing.
- Widely disseminated: Readers worldwide have access to your paper at their desktops. More than 77,000 scholars receive email notification of new articles in BEJM, and over 350 institutions subscribe, including all of the top 20.
- Widely indexed: in EconLit, JEL, IBSS, RePEc, and Scopus. The full text is crawled and indexed by search engines like Google.
Questions about submissions and journal content may be directed to the editors.
" The editorial feedback was much more timely than from other journals in the field, and of the highest quality. This ranks among my best experiences with the journal submission process."
Michael Woodford, Professor of Economics and Banking, Princeton University, and contributor to The B.E. Journal of Macroeconomics
"I was very satisfied with this new publication outlet. Editorial feedback was very timely and of a high quality. The bepress way appears to be a model for the future of academic journals."
Ian King, Associate Professor, University of Auckland, and contributor to The B.E. Journal of Macroeconomics
"I was very pleased with the whole bepress experience and am recommending it highly to my colleagues. Less than two months from submission to publication - this is really a life-changing innovation for researchers everywhere!"

I was very satisfied with this new publication outlet. Editorial feedback was very timely and of a high quality. The bepress way appears to be a model for the future of academic journals.
Ian King, Professor and Chair of Economics, University of Melbourne
In general, my authoring experience with BEJM was absolutely wonderful. Fast turnaround times, excellent referee reports, careful and sensible editorial comments. I think I'd have said much of this even had the paper been rejected. The whole process was a pleasure.

Instructions for Authors
Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Please find here details on copyediting, typesetting, and layout requirements pertaining to final manuscript submission to this journal. All manuscripts must have correct formatting to be considered ready for publication.
The EdiKit system has been designed to improve the scholarly publication process for authors. Among the many improvements we offer over traditional journals, the most significant is that we have dramatically shortened the period between the initial submission and the final publication of a peer-reviewed article. Much of this time savings is due to the innovative use of electronic publication. These innovations, however, require certain changes in the way authors need to prepare accepted manuscripts for electronic publication.
De Gruyter does not copyedit manuscripts for this journal until further notice. However, De Gruyter does offer support to authors during the process. Authors are their own copyeditors and typesetters. This means that authors need to pay greater attention to the editing and look of their manuscripts than is typically required by print journals. If you have reasons to doubt your proficiency with respect to spelling, grammar, etc. (e.g., because English is not your native language), then you may wish to employ—at your expense—the services of a professional copyeditor.
Please get in touch with the copyeditors directly to discuss details.

CONTENT and STRUCTURE
- Copyedit your manuscript.
- Do not include a title page or abstract. (Begin the document with the introduction. The title page and abstract will be added to your paper by the EdiKit system.)
- Do not include page numbers, headers, or footers. (The EdiKit system will add the appropriate header with page numbers).
- Do not identify author names in the actual text of your manuscript; all such information is discarded when we receive your submission. To add or edit co-authors, you must use the "revise submission" form.
- Make sure all author and co-author information is complete. Click on "Preview submission" to make sure that all your co-authors' names and affiliations appear correctly.
- Do not include acknowledgments in your manuscript. Instead, enter acknowledgments in the coverpage footnote section on the "revise submission" form, so that they may be incorporated into the title page produced for publication.
- Write your article in English (unless the journal expressly permits non-English submissions).
- Submit your manuscript, including tables, figures, appendices, etc., as a single file (Word, RTF, or PDF files are accepted).
- Use the following document structure (keep in mind that there is no title page):
- Introduction (titling this section is optional)
- Subsequent sections which include all tables, figures, and footnotes referenced in the text
- Appendices (if any)
- References - Include a proper bibliography following the guidelines in the References section below.
- Book reviews must start with the citation of the book at the top of the first page.
LaTeX TEMPLATE
For authors working with LaTeX files, please use the De Gruyter related LaTeX-template. Please download it here. For authors using word processing software such as Word or Word Perfect, please continue to follow the formatting requirements below.
PAGE LAYOUT and SPACING
- Page size must be 8.5 x 11-inches ("letter" size). Do not use A4.
- All margins (left, right, top and bottom) must be 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), including your tables and figures.
- Single space your text.
- Use a single column layout with both left and right margins justified. (Footnotes and references must be both left- and right- justified as well.)
- Indent all paragraphs except those following a section heading.
- An indent should be at least 10 em-spaces.
- Equations, long quotations, theorems, propositions, special remarks, tables, figures, etc. should be set off from the surrounding text by additional space above and below. Otherwise, do not insert an extra space between paragraphs of text.
- Do not "widow" or "orphan" text; make sure that headings are on the same page as the text that follows them, and do not begin a page with the last line of a paragraph. This also applies to titles or notes attached to tables.
- There should be no pages where more than a quarter of the page is empty space, unless it is absolutely impossible to do so.
- All text should be fully justified, left and right (i.e., flush with the left and right margins).
TYPE and SIZE
We cannot accept Type3 fonts. The following is a brief guide to fonts with respect to layout.
- Font:
- Main Body—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Equations—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Footnotes—10 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Tables, graphs & figures—Text accompanying graphs, figures and tables should be no smaller than 8 pt.
Use Times or the closest comparable font available, except, possibly, where special symbols are needed. If you desire a second font, for instance for headings, use a sans serif font (e.g., Arial or Computer Modern Sans Serif).
- Set the font color to black for the majority of the text. De Gruyter encourages authors to take advantage of the ability to use color in the production of figures, maps, images, and graphs. However, you need to appreciate that this will cause some of your readers problems when they print the document on a black and white printer. For this reason, you are advised to avoid the use of colors in situations where their translation to black and white would render the material illegible or incomprehensible.
- Please ensure that there are no colored mark-ups or comments in the final version, unless they are meant to be part of the final text. (You may need to "accept all changes" in track changes or set your document to "normal" in final markup.)
EMPHASIZED TEXT, TITLES, and FOREIGN TERMS
- To indicate text you wish to emphasize, use italics rather than underlining. The use of color to emphasize text is discouraged.
- Foreign terms should be set in italics rather than underlined.
- Titles of books, movies, etc., should be set in italics rather than underlined.
Headings (e.g., title of sections) should be distinguished from the main body text by their fonts or by using small caps.
- Use the same font face for all headings and indicate the hierarchy by reducing the font size.
- Put space above and below headings. Spacing must be consistent around all headings.
- Be consistent in whether or not you use headline case, or you capitalize the first word and leave the rest in lower-case.
- Footnotes must appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced rather than at the end of the paper.
- Footnotes must be in 10 pt. Times or closest comparable font available.
- They must be single spaced, and there must be a footnote separator rule (line).
- Please make sure there is no excess blank space above or below the footnote line divider.
- Footnote numbers or symbols in the text must follow, rather than precede, punctuation.
- Excessively long footnotes are better handled in an appendix.
- All footnotes should be fully justified, left and right (i.e., flush with the left and right margins).
- If figures are included, use high-resolution figures, preferably encoded as encapsulated * PostScript (eps).
- To the extent possible, tables and figures should appear in the document near where they are referenced in the text.
- Large tables or figures should be put on pages by themselves.
- Make sure to use at least 8 pt. font size in tables, figures and graphs.
- Everything must be easily readable when viewed on a computer screen at 100% and when physically printed.
- In no case should tables or figures be in a separate document or file. All tables and figures must fit within 1.5" margins on all sides (top, bottom, left and right) in both portrait and landscape view.
MATHEMATICS and EQUATIONS
- Roman letters used in mathematical expressions as variables must be italicized. Roman letters used as part of multi-letter function names should not be italicized. Subscripts and superscripts must be a smaller font size than the main text.
- Use 12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Type short mathematical expressions inline.
- Longer expressions must appear as display math, as must expressions using many different levels (e.g., such as fractions).
- Important definitions or concepts can also be set off as display math.
- Number your equations sequentially.
- Insert a blank line before and after each equation.
- Whether equation numbers are on the right or left is the choice of the author(s). However, make sure to be consistent in this.
- Avoid symbols and notation in unusual fonts. This will not only enhance the clarity of the manuscript, but it will also help ensure that it displays correctly on the reader's screen and prints correctly.
- When proofing your document, pay particular attention to the rendering of the mathematics, especially symbols and notation drawn from other-than-standard fonts.
- Within the text of your manuscript, use the author-date method of citation. For instance, "As noted by Smith (1776)."
- When there are two authors, use both last names. For instance, "Edlin and Reichelstein (1996) claim … "
- If there are three or more authors give the last name of the first author and append et al. For instance, a 1987 work by Abel, Baker, and Charley, would be cited as "Abel et al. (1987)."
- If two or more cited works share the same authors and dates, use "a," "b," and so on to distinguish among them. For instance, "Jones (1994b) provides a more general analysis of the model introduced in Example 3 of Jones (1994a)."
- After the first cite in the text using the author-date method, subsequent cites can use just the last names if that would be unambiguous. For example, Edlin and Reichelstein (1996) can be followed by just Edlin and Reichelstein provided no other Edlin and Reichelstein article is referenced; if one is, then the date must always be attached.
- When citations appear within parentheses, use commas—rather than parentheses or brackets—to separate the date from the surrounding text. For instance, " … (see Smith, 1776, for an early discussion of this)."
It is the author's obligation to provide complete references with the necessary information. Our editors do not check this.
- After the last sentence of your submission (text or appendix), please insert a line break—not a page break—and begin your references on the same page.
- Do not split an individual reference between two pages. If the entirety of the reference does not fit on the page it starts on, then move the entire reference to start on the following page.
- References must be in alphabetical order and have margins that are both left- and right- justified. You may choose not to right-justify the margin of individual references if the spacing looks too awkward.
- Use hanging indents for citations (i.e., the first line of the citation should be flush with the left margin and all other lines should be indented from the left margin by a set amount). Citations should be single-spaced with extra space between citations.
- Within the references section, the citations can be formatted as you like, provided (i) the formatting is consistent and (ii) each citation begins with the last name of the first author. That is, the following would all be acceptable:
Smith, Adam (1776) The Wealth of Nations, …
Smith, A., The Wealth of Nations, … , 1776.
Smith, Adam: The Wealth of Nations, 1776, …

My Nemsis arrived today. I was out ordering new glasses so I can see what I'm shooting at and when I got home there it was, right between the door and the storm door.
Now this might not sound too interesting to some, but I ordered this bow about two weeks ago. My usual wait the last few years has averaged 2 months and last year's Alien Z was longer at 6 1/2 months. I was quite surprised to say the least. Even some other things I ordered were also in the box.
I've gone over the bow with a fine toothed comb and can't find any defects, save one. The top cam is a Hybrix 1.5 and the bottom one is a Nitro 1.5. Makes me wonder. The bow draws and feels OK. Looks like it's time for a call to find out if these two cams are really the same.
One other thing of note. The limb deflection is 175 which leads me to believe it is sporting Barnesdale limbs. Another question for Joel.
As someone else said earlier on here there is also a tag attached to the bow that shows it was checked by two people. Not that I'm going to quibble but the riser is not black. It's the same carbon fiber dip that I had on my Alien Z from last year. And the limbs are "Next" camo instead of the "Bonz" I ordered, but the fact that they are barnesdales is something I'll have reason to overlook the camo.
Draw length is adjuted very close to what I ordered (just drew it with fingers). I ordered a 50#er and it peaks at 53# so that's in order. There is the slightest bit of cam lean in the static position; maybe 1/4" from the cam to the middle of the string.
It has a straight cable rod and slide, which I'm already thinking of replacing with the TRG/SOS just to compare.
All in all, it appears that Martin is doing a better job of checking bows before they leave home office. It's nice having new toys.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 16, 2011)—Making her first start beyond six furlongs and first for trainer Mike Mitchell, Diamond Journey responded with a one length victory in a $52,400 optional claimer for California bred fillies and mares Thursday at Hollywood Park.
The only runner in the field of six eligible to be taken for the $25,000 price tag, Diamond Journey received a dream trip from jockey Martin Garcia in winning for the fourth time in 10 career outings.
Claimed for $12,500 by Mitchell for owners Cady and Kanakaris out of a sprint victory May 19, the 3-year-old daughter of Good Journey and the Demons Begone mare Callmelauryn increased her earnings to $82,420.
After tracking the pace set by outsider Safe Word, Diamond Journey took a clear lead into the stretch and had more than enough in reserve to hold off the late rally of Screaming Regal, the 9-10 favorite.
Bred by Zann Racing Stable, Diamond Journey, who began her career at Turf Paradise, ran the 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track in 1:44.43. The 3-1 second choice, she paid $8.40, $4 and $2.60.
Favored on the strength of a near miss behind Miles Rules in the Melair Stakes on California Gold Rush Day April 23, Screaming Regal returned $2.60 and $2.10. Meltarib, who finished 4 ¾ lengths behind Screaming Regal, paid $2.60 to show.
Scent of Chrism, the longest shot in the field at 48-1, was fourth, then came Secret Oath and Safe Word.
Racing resumes Friday night at Hollywood Park. Post time is 7:05 p.m.
The main event is the $70,000 Tsunami Slew Stakes. The one mile race for 3-year-olds will feature the turf debut of Santa Anita Derby winner Midnight Interlude.
Trained by Bob Baffert for owner Arnold Zetcher, Midnight Interlude, a son of former Breeders' Cup Mile winner War Chant, is the 2-1 favorite on Russ Hudak's morning line against six opponents. The Tsunami Slew goes as race seven. Scheduled post time is 10 p.m.
At the conclusion of the eight race program – approximately 10:30 p.m. – a concert starring Super Diamond will begin at the North Park Lawn.
