   Hi Keith: I finished revising the synthesis by omitting the three tree-ring series from the
   Mann et al. (2008) compilation. I also replaced the three Eurasian series with the new
   regionalized curves from your recent RCS study. The trends hold up. The overall, monotonic
   cooling is a bit weaker (0.2 C/ka), but the 20th century warming is much larger. I'm
   waiting for Dave (NCAR Postdoc) to complete the PCA (values highlighted in yellow will
   change), then I am aiming to submit it early in the coming week. Do you think it would be
   wise to include a note in the Online Support Materials on RCS and why it's appropriate for
   this synthesis of long- term proxy records? Thanks, Darrell
