 This paper is an example and template for the {\upshape\texttt{asmejour}} class. Papers typeset in this class will follow ASME journal style for margins, fonts, headings, captions, and reference formats. Standard \LaTeX\ commands are used. The class will lay out the author, title, and abstract in ASME style. The class will produce a pdf file that that includes hyperlinks, bookmarks, and pdf metadata. The class is intended to be used with the {\upshape\texttt{asmejour.bst}} \hologo{BibTeX} style for typesetting references, which is part of this distribution.  This style supports hyperlinks and modern reference formats, following current ASME practice. The class may be invoked with several options, most of which address math fonts. The class calls a number of packages, all of which are in \TeX~Live and in CTAN (\href{http://ctan.org}{ctan.org}). The class is compatible with \hologo{pdfLaTeX} or \LuaLaTeX.

 \subsection{Optional to the Color Title Bar}
 The vertical bar in the title block is black in all ASME journals. Since the \texttt{asmejour} class is only for preprints, we include the [fun] option to have the bar in color. Any color \texttt{name} recognized by the \texttt{xcolor} package may be invoked by including the option \texttt{barcolor=name} in the \verb|\documentclass[..]{asmejour}| command. The color name is \texttt{Red4} by default. (To have a black bar, either omit the option entirely or use the name \texttt{black}.)

 \section{Additional Options for \texttt{asmejour.cls}}
 The class accepts a number of options in addition to those already described.
 
-\subsection{Line Numbers} The option \texttt{[lineno]} invokes the the \texttt{lineno} package~\cite{bottcher}.  This will produce line numbers in the margins. You must run \LaTeX\ twice for proper placement. The \texttt{lineno} package is not compatible with the \texttt{flushend} package that makes final short columns the same height. Balancing is disabled when this option is called. See the documentation of the \texttt{lineno} package for further commands to control line numbering. See footnote~\ref{ftnt:3} with regard to footnotes in section headings while this option is in~effect.
+\subsection{Final Column Balancing} The option \texttt{[balance]} invokes the the \texttt{flushend} package~\cite{tolusis}.
+This package will attempt to give equal height to the two columns on the last page. The performance of this package is sometimes inconsistent (with odd page layout or, very rarely, errors), so use this option with caution.
+
+\subsection{Line Numbers} The option \texttt{[lineno]} invokes the the \texttt{lineno} package~\cite{bottcher}.  This will produce line numbers in the margins. You must run \LaTeX\ twice for proper placement of the numbers. The \texttt{lineno} package is not compatible with the \texttt{flushend} package that makes final short columns the same height. Balancing is disabled when this option is called. See the documentation of the \texttt{lineno} package for further commands to control line numbering. See footnote~\ref{ftnt:3} with regard to footnotes in section headings while this option is in~effect. The abstract, tables, captions, and footnotes will not be numbered.
 
 \subsection{Changing the Footer Text} The option \texttt{[nofoot]} will omit everything other than a page number from the page footer.  The option \texttt{nocopyright} will omit the ASME copyright from the first page footer. The command \verb|\PreprintString{..}| replaces the words \textsf{PREPRINT FOR REVIEW}. The left and right preprint strings can be changed separately using an optional argument: \verb|\PreprintString{..}[L]| and \verb|\PreprintString{..}[R]|.
 The final paper number may be added to the page number using \verb|\PaperNumber{..}|.
