Chris,
I am not able to access the site for JARS. Is this a problem with my computer, or has something happened with the journal's website?

Hey Luke... our web service providers have been switching us over to a new server, and somebody over there made a BIG boo boo. So we're now awaiting a fix. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
Keep checking back periodically.
On a more positive note... the Fall 2008 issue of JARS, the first of our Tenth Anniversary Issues, should be going to the printer later this month. It will most likely be out in January.
