Step 1
Starting Position: Place a BOSU® balance trainer, blue dome side up, on a non-slip surface on the floor, 3-6" to your left. Stand with your feet hip-width apart or closer; arms by your sides. Pull your shoulders blades down and back toward your hips. "Brace" (engage your abdominal / core muscles) to stabilize your spine.
Step 2
Downward Phase: Shift your hips back and down. This will create a hinge-like movement at your knees. Continue to lower yourself until you feel your heels about to lift off the floor. Try to maintain a flat back by bending forward at the hips. Keep your head facing directly forward and position your arms where they offer the greatest degree of balance support.
Step 3
Jumping Movement: With ONLY a slight pause at the bottom of your downward phase, explode up and to the left, landing on top of the BOSU. Try to fully extend the hips, knees and ankles as you explode on to the BOSU. As you jump into the air, try to keep your feet level with each other and parallel with the floor, but bring them together to land on the top of the BOSU.
Step 4
Landing: The most important components of the landing phase on a BOSU are correct foot position and avoiding excessive forward movement in your legs, which will cause additional stress on your knees.
Step 5
Try to land softly and quietly on the mid-foot, quickly rolling toward the heels in order to level the foot, making it parallel with the floor. Always push your hips backwards and drop your hips to absorb the jumping forces. Do not lock your knees on the landing in order to avoid potential knee injuries.
Step 6
Land with your trunk slightly forward, head aligned with your spine and back rigid or flat. Keep your abdominal / core muscles engaged; your torso rigid to protect your spine.
Step 7
With ONLY a slight pause at the bottom of your landing phase, explode up and to the left, off the top of the BOSUtoward the floor. Try to fully extend the hips, knees and ankles as you explode off of the BOSU. As you jump into the air, try to keep your feet level with each other and parallel with the floor, moving them back to a hip-width distance or slightly closer.
Step 8
Repeat the movement jumping to the right.
Exercise Variation: As you develop your jumping and landing skills, you can progress the exercise intensity and complexity by: (1) driving your arms behind you during the downward phase, (2) driving your arms forward, upward (towards an overhead position) and slightly sideways in the jumping direction during the jumping phases, (3)driving your knees towards your chest during the jumping phases or (4) moving back and forth more rapidly or adding more BOSU balance trainers and performing a series of jumps in each direction.
Before attempting to jump laterally onto the BOSU, learn first how to squat and perform regular squat jumps, BOSU squat jumps and lateral cone jumps.

Holocaust Tax Allowance by Gilad Atzmon
I do think that taking Tax from Jews is nothing less than Anti Semitism in practice. After the Holocaust and 2000 years of Jewish suffering we should accept that Jews have the right to hide some money from the tax authorities, just in case the horror repeats itself.
The BBC reported today that A US watchmaker told the American court that he "hid $10,000,000 in a Swiss bank account because of 'survival behaviour' learned from the Holocaust". The 65 year-old watchmaker, Jack Barouh, argued his secretive behaviour was motivated by his "fear as a Jew of persecution and sudden loss." Indeed with 10 million dollars Barouh could barely survive; he could for instance, hire a private jet that would fly him anywhere in the world, he could settle in 5 star hotels in the most beautiful sea resorts, yet, no one could guarantee Barouh a constant supply of matzo balls and gefilte fish and this may well be the true meaning of Jewish fear.
In fact the Jewish businessman is not at all a thief or a fraudster, he actually suffers from a uniquely recognised Jewish mental condition. According to Barouh's doctor we are dealing here with "hide and hoard mentality", something often found in Holocaust survivors and their families.
Evidently, the relationships between America and Israel do deteriorate rapidly. Assistant US Attorney, Jeffrey Neiman, said the Holocaust defence was no excuse: "It does not give this defendant a license to break the law. Tax fraud is tax fraud." I am reluctant to suggest that Mr Neiman is an exemplary case of a 'new anti Semitism' instead of calling Barouh a fraudster the prosecuting attorney should have stressed the need for 'special holocaust allowance for Jews and Jews only'.
I do believe that Jews must unite and fight the sudden change and the growing dismissal of the holocaust. I suggest that Holocaust Museums such as Yad Va Shem and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington dedicate one of their many rooms to the sufferers of "hide and hoard". They can even call it 'Yad Va Tax'. They can advise tormented people how to hide their money from the tax man. They can also monitor the Madoffs of this world just to make sure that the Elie Wiesels do not become a subject of a Ponzi scheme once again.

During my third year at ICAM, an advanced engineering school in France, my coursework required me to carry out a three-month experiment in a foreign country. I planned to do it by myself in Canada and in the United States, stopping in 21 cities between June and September 2011.
Three weeks before my departure, I still had not found contacts in 11 of those cities that could host me for a few days between legs of my cross-country bus journey. My grandfather is a Rotarian in the same club as Robert Héline, past governor of District 1670 (France) and a member of the Rotary Club of Cambria. My grandfather suggested Héline, president of Rotary's USA-France Intercountry Committee, could help get me a few contacts in the United States.
Never would I have dreamed he would find hosts in all 11 of the cities! All the clubs he contacted were sympathetic to my plight and eager to help, reaching out to their members. Within a short period of time, couples offered to help. Almost all of them had pleasant stories to share of having visited France or previously hosted a French exchange student.
This for me was a thrilling discovery. I saw how Rotary is an international network of friendship, one which is building peace and understanding between countries. Everywhere, I have been welcomed in a warm and attentive manner. I have made strong contacts with many of the families, allowing me to discover a variety of American cities and cultures. Back in France, I exchanged New Year wishes with all my hosts, certain I will see them again either in France or the United States.
I did not know much about Rotary before this unforgettable trip, but I will certainly look for ways to contribute to Rotary in the future.
Editor's Note: The USA-France Intercountry Committee develops connections between Rotary clubs in the two countries, which helps facilitate exchanges for adults completing an internship as part of their advanced level studies. The internships are very difficult to locate except when two Rotary districts or clubs, one in France and one in America, have a cooperative arrangement. Fanny's story does not aim to invite requests for such interventions, but rather to showcase the effectiveness of cross country connections in building a platform for peace.

Kuaotunu to Opito Bay in the Coromandel
A stunning, natural paradise for all the family, that's not to be missed
1 / 5
The Coromandel offers some of the most stunning scenic and natural outdoor experiences that New Zealand has to offer and there are many fabulous destinations and activities that are well advertised such as Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove which are everything they promise to be. But, if you are looking for something; just that little bit more off the beaten track, a little less known about, completely affordable, and fun that the whole family can participate in, we recommend you take time to head to Kuaotunu, Otama Beach and Opito Bay.
Kuaotunu – Beach, Food and Fun
Kuaotunu is a small village that is 13 mins north from Whitianga or 30 mins east from Coromandel Town. Here you can find freedom camping spots, camping grounds or a range of holiday houses and motel accommodation. Turn off into the Kuaotunu Town Centre and you'll find the local reserve where you can then park, open the doors and let the kids run free. A gorgeous inlet river provides endless entertainment, and there is a glorious beach, rock pools at low tide and a fantastic coastal town vibe. Once you have had sufficient beach time head along to Luke's Kitchen Restaurant right next door, for some delicious authentic wood fired pizza and fantastic family friendly and affordable atmosphere. It is open 3 days over the weekend in winter, and 7 days over summer. There is also a groovy café/gallery next door with award winning coffee. After this, if you all happen to still have some room in your tummy why not dare a family member to eat a 'Kuaotunu Killer' Ice-cream. Warning: it is 5 huge scoops and only for the most stoic of ice cream eaters!
Otama - Golden Sand Paradise
We don't recommend you try to eat the icecream just before you head over Black Jack Road though. This road is steep, narrow and winding and it has gravel in parts so drive carefully, however the beaches that you will find on the other side will leave your jaw gaping. Head towards the small cluster of housing at Otama Beach and you will find a grass Reserve. Head down the cliffs and you'll think you have stumbled upon Utopia itself. The golden sand, the gentle surf, the incredible overhanging Pohutakawa trees clinging to clay cliffs all make for an incredible natural playground. Try; skim boarding on a boogie board along the water's edge, boogie boarding or surfing in the waves, swinging from the epic rope swing, playing for hours in the incredible natural tree root huts, sliding down the clay cliffs, and walking the golden stretches of sand while absorbing the days sunshine and surrounding beauty. And no doubt, you'll hardly have to share it with another soul as it is secluded and special.
Optio – Sea, Walks, and Views
As if this area isn't enough to satisfy even the most hardcore of beach lovers, you can then enjoy yourself even more by taking a further careful drive over the hill toward Opito. Here you can explore the crystal clear waters via kayak or swim, beach walk, boogie board and may even be lucky enough to do so with the dolphins and whales that are known to frequent this spot on occasion. This beach provides super safe swimming for kids with amazingly clear water. You can take a short walk up some steep but well maintained steps at the end of the beach to gain a spectacular horizon view that is speckled with Islands. Optio Bay is at the end of the road. There are no eating facilities there so you will need to head back over the hill to Kuaotunu to carry on around the Coromandel but, if you can afford the time this little detour off the main beaten track will reward you with astounding beauty and an area that is a family friendly safe and natural paradise.

Hopkinton, MA (PRWEB) March 22, 2007 -
 Alakai Technologies Corporation announced today that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for installation of the companyÂs Engine Trend Monitoring System (ETMS) on Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft. The certification also applies to AlakaiÂs Digital Flight Data Recording System (DFDS) software which, when combined with the ETMS, effectively provides the popular Cirrus piston-engine aircraft with a Âblack box recorder, currently not required on aircraft with fewer than 10 seats.
ÂWe are pleased with the efficiency of the FAA certification process and look forward to the additional safety and security measures that the highly affordable Engine Trend Monitoring System technology will now provide to Cirrus owners and operators, said Brian Morrison, president of Alakai Technologies.
The automated, predictive system monitors piston engine performance in real time, significantly improving safety and reliability while reducing engine maintenance costs. For Cirrus operators, this improves the efficiency of engine operation and maintenance, transitioning required recordkeeping from a time-consuming, manual procedure to a real-time, in-flight automated, electronic record. The system enhances accuracy and consistency from flight to flight, and from pilot to pilot.
"Cirrus is committed to the safety of pilots and passengers in our aircraft. This new system will allow Cirrus owners and operators, especially Part 135 operators, to focus on flying rather than manually documenting engine performance while in the air, said Cirrus Co-founder and Vice Chairman, Dale Klapmeier. ÂWe look forward to the hassle-free advantages this system brings to Cirrus owners and operators, as well as to the safety benefits of having an on-board flight data recorder.Â
Alakai Technologies developed the Engine Trend Monitoring System in response to SATSairÂs need to automate its FAA-approved manual engine trend monitoring system. SATSair, based in Greenville SC, currently flies 26 Cirrus SR22 airplanes and over 1500 passengers per month in point-to-point, air cab operations under Federal Aviation Part 135 air taxi regulations in the SE USA, and was the first fleet air cab operation to embrace the SR22. SATSair has placed orders for 26 Alakai systems, with an option for an additional 100 systems.
ÂSATSair is proud to have worked closely with Alakai in bringing this important safety innovation to General Aviation, said Steve Hanvey, President and CEO of SATSair. ÂThis new system enhances the safety and performance of all our aircraft by automating the trend monitoring process, as well as providing us with a flight data recorder. Trend monitoring is fundamental to the successful operation of our air cab fleet.Â
Additional benefits of the Engine Trend Monitoring System include:
- Real-time trend and exceedance analysis with trend forecasting graphs (web-accessible) to identify engine and performance problems before they occur
- Improves long-term engine performance, fuel economy, and safety
- Reduces operating costs, warranty costs and potentially reduces insurance premiums
- Provides a simultaneous Âalways-on flight data recording capability (DFDS) to assist with flight records and accident investigations
- Provides automated flight visualization or Âtrack files for training and playback purposes
The DFDS software performs the same function as flight data recorders that are mandatory on larger transport aircraft and have proven to be a great help to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in determining the cause of aircraft incidents. AlakaiÂs ETMS/DFDS installations are expected to provide enhanced safety and potentially lower insurance rates for Cirrus owners who equip their aircraft with this latest technology.
About Alakai Technologies Corporation
Alakai Technologies is a Massachusetts company that develops, manufactures, and integrates products to enhance aircraft safety. Alakai (pronounced Âal-uh-kiÂ) is the Hawaiian word for Âleader or Âguide. Additional information can be found at http://www.alakai1.com.

ROTEM analysis: A significant advance in the field of rotational thrombelastography
R. C. Franz
M.B. Ch.B., M.Med. (chir.), M.D.; Emeritus Professor of Surgery, University of Pretoria, and Director, Fibrinolysis Laboratory, Department of Surgery, university of Pretoria
At the turn of the century, a significant advance in the rapidly expanding field of rotational thrombelastography (ROTEG), known at present as thrombelastometry or ROTEM analysis, was developed at the Ludwig-Maximillian University in Munich. The measuring unit is operated by a laptop computer. There are four temperature-controlled measuring channels in which the global assays not only detect coagulation factor defects but also platelet function, abnormal fibrinogen polymerisation, anticoagulant defects and hyperfibrinolysis.
ROTEM has steadily increased in popularity, particularly because of its well-established application as a diagnostic aid at the point of care in the critical care situation. It also provides a useful guide in the choice of an appropriate therapeutic option in the bleeding patient, reducing costs by avoiding administration of costly component therapy such as fresh-frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, platelet concentrates or antifibrinolytic agents.
As well as being useful in monitoring anticoagulant therapy and the use of pharmacological agents, ROTEM is a valuable research tool in the field of hypercoagulability, fibrinolysis, factor XIII activity and the ultimate phases of the blood coagulation process.

In regard to the bombings in Boston on Monday: Like it or not, this is the world we live in.
In many parts of the world, these bombings represent a regular feature of everyday life. But this is America.
No matter your political or spiritual affiliations, we are all Americans and there are people out there trying to kill us.
Next time you see a police officer, a firefighter, a medical responder, a member of the military, take pause to undertand it is the passion of these people to keep us safe.
Anyone like the person or people who set these bombs off to kill and maim indiscriminately under the pretense of whatever cause they espouse is a coward.
Someone who could do this is not a human being, and needs to be dealt with thusly. Semper Fidelis.
John Orr
Is North Pond Hermit all that dangerous to us?
More charges against the dangerous and deceptive North Pond Hermit, Christopher Knight, will assure that he continues "to be doing well in jail" and prevent any errant do-gooders from bailing him out, possibly setting off a nation-wide crime spree of "stealing food, cookware and other items to survive."
Could it be that Mr. Knight may have wanted to distance himself from schoolmates who didn't notice him, neighbors concerned mostly about their peanut butter, and a society that cannot tolerate loners who lack social skills and "acceptable" lifestyles?
It is good luck that Mr. Knight can now be properly labeled, held against his best interests and relegated to the more familiar role of the homeless former jailbird standing helpless at the nearest busy intersection.
Good job, Maine!

Labeling modified food a priority for lawmakers
According to a recent poll, 91 percent of Mainers want genetically modified (GMO) foods to be labeled.
There is a bill now in the Legislature to label GMO foods in Maine.
It is sponsored by Rep. Lance Harvell and is cosponsored by, as near as I could count, 123 other representatives.
There are only 151 representatives in the House, so over 80 percent of them are cosponsoring the bill. Hurray for them!
The bill will be heard on April 23 at the Cross Building Room 214 at 1 p.m.
Come show your support for this bill, L.D. 718, or call your representative to thank him or her for cosponsoring the bill.
If by some chance your representative is not cosponsoring the bill, ask her or him to reconsider.
Labeling GMO foods is an idea whose time has come.

Something skewed when drink costs $40,000
After reading the article on the $40,000 cocktail that will be available at the White Barn Inn in Kennebunkport, I was reminded of the comment by Joseph Welch, head counsel for the Army in 1956, to Sen. Joseph McCarthy, as the senator was wildly accusing innocent people of being Communists: "Have you no sense of decency, sir?"
This question of decency applies not only to the inn but also to Meredith Goad for writing about the cocktail and the Press Herald for printing the article and providing free publicity.
In addition, it's printed beside a story about a polio survivor who is helping poverty-stricken children in Africa obtain polio vaccines.
What's wrong with this picture? As my husband said, "truly vomitous."

AG Mills wrong to support drones' warrantless spying
Imagine drones flying over your property doing surveillance without their operators first obtaining a warrant.
If Attorney General Janet Mills has her way, this will be the case.
The attorney general is opposing the Drone Privacy Bill L.D. 236, which would require the police to get a probable cause warrant before using drones to collect information about people in most cases.
Instead, Mills believes law enforcement can oversee itself without judicial review, thereby ignoring the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
A reported 30,000 drones will be in use in the United States in coming years.
Seeing our civil liberties being removed, citizens are responding nationally with demands for the requirement of legal justification before spying on people with drones.
Three state representatives from the Portland area serve on the judiciary committee, where L.D. 236 is being considered.
They are Sen. Linda Valentino (Saco), Rep. Kimberly Monaghan-Derrig (Cape Elizabeth) and Rep. Matthew Moonen (Portland).
Please let them know you expect them to uphold the Constitution and protect our privacy rights by supporting L.D. 236.
It is not asking too much to require police to get a warrant before snooping on you or your property.

Want more guns around? Buy a lot of books first
OK, if everyone should have a gun or two, with ammunition, in his or her home ("Bill Nemitz: A gun in every home? Proposal 'makes point,' " March 10), I want to submit a bill that would require every home to have at least 40 books. (I'll settle for 30.)
For those who insist on having guns and urging us all to get one or more, let them get books first and then the guns.
In so many ways, books are much more powerful than guns: Read history for proof. First come ideas that change minds and create war or peace. A book never killed anyone — guns do.

Memory Monday: Waiting at the Gas Station
Little children tend to be unaware of this fact.
I certainly was. I could not imagine why my parents felt compelled to spend hours and hours in conversation with other adults: their siblings, our neighbors, the people they worked with, the cashier at the grocery store, the meter reader. It seemed as through a huge chunk of their lives was eaten up by discussions of the most boring subjects imaginable.
Most of the time this did not bother me and I did not even take any notice, because I had something to amuse myself. I was either at home or in some other context where I had things to entertain me – toys, TV, other kids (friends, schoolmates, cousins, or some other poor kid with the yappy parents who were deep in conversation with my yappy parents), or even some sort of interesting setting that held my interest such as a toy store, garden, or construction site (I liked to play with all the extra wood bits).
But sometimes there was no escaping the dire consequences of this endless penchant for mind-numbing gab. Sometimes it would happen when I had to accompany Mom on errands (utility offices were a notorious bore; see Running Away).
But most often it occurred when Mom was busy elsewhere and I was in Dad's care for the day. Instead of doing neat dadly things – I would have been happy to hang out in his workshop – he felt the need to go visiting with two of his closest friends, Dan and Dan's wife Martha.
And Dan and Martha were some of the nicest people ever; they would ask how I was, offer me food and drink, and praise me to the skies. Dan and Martha owned a gas station. If you were a construction/cars/tools kind of guy like my Dad, Dan and Martha's gas station was Mecca and Heaven all rolled into one. For me it was Hell. Because there is where I so often had to confront The Great Enemy: Boredom. Boredom just sits and waits in dull, grimy settings such as gas stations to pounce on his hapless young victims.
It's not that I didn't fight the enemy with every resource I had at my disposal: daydreaming, begging for chocolate sodas from the ancient soda machine, watching the numbers change on the gas pumps, or even, in desperation, people-watching.
But after an hour or two sitting on the cracked brown leather of a backless stool in the gas station office, the fidgeting started. Then the eye-rolling. And finally, kicking the stool rungs and sighing. After a while Dad would finally get the message, but the goodbyes ate up even more time.
I have been paid back for that impatience many times over by my own children. Their special weapon is the expression of desperation and shocked incomprehension at my life-destroying, record-breaking gabfests.
But things change. I knew my older daughter was growing up when one Sunday at church I interrupted my participation in a deep conversation with fellow parishioners to remind my daughters, "Time to go down to Sunday school class," and Daughter #1 turned to me with that pleading expression they use and said, "Can't I skip Sunday school today? I want to stay here and listen to you guys."
Heh, heh. Revenge is sweet. "Not today. Maybe some time when you're older."

It's like you have described my childhood! You had a gas station. I had the local John Deere dealership or the tire store. BORING!ReplyDelete
Oh, yeah, I got to know a couple of hardware stores pretty well, too (though I was spared the John Deere thing). Funny how they don't seem as boring now as they did then! Thanks for stopping by!ReplyDelete
Love a story well told! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Boredom. How very intriguing! I cannot remember the last time I felt boredom the way a child experiences it. Your story reminded me of how boredom felt when I was a child. It truly is an overwhelming emotion isn't it - especially when you don't have the power to conquer it as in the case of a child. I think your memory is going to whisper to me the next time I glimpse that look in my child's eye. Thank you for the reminder!ReplyDelete
I do believe that I was dubbed "Mrs. Talker" by mine when they were young.ReplyDelete
Blah, blah, blah is what always ran through my mind as a child listening to my folks. Especially when we would visit my Dad's parents. They never had a thing to occupy kids and we were expected to sit and be quiet. Tough when you're born a chatty cathy. Loved the story!ReplyDelete
Joan, Herstoryan, Linda, and Terri - Thank you all for stopping by. Hmm, "Mrs. Talker" and "chatty cathy" - definitely something we have in common!ReplyDelete

Experimental Evaluation of User Interfaces for Visual Indoor NavigationZeit: Fri 24.4.2015, 12:00, 60 Minuten
Ort: MT127, Science Park
ZusammenfassungMobile location recognition by capturing images of the environment (visual localization) is a promising technique for indoor navigation in arbitrary surroundings. However, it has barely been investigated so far how the user interface (UI) can cope with the challenges of the vision-based localization technique, such as varying quality of the query images. We implemented a novel UI for visual localization, consisting of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) views that actively communicate and ensure localization accuracy. If necessary, the system encourages the user to point the smartphone at distinctive regions to improve localization quality. We evaluated the UI in an experimental navigation task with a prototype, informed by initial evaluation results using design mockups. We found that VR can contribute to efficient and effective indoor navigation even at unreliable location and orientation accuracy. In this talk I will talk about identified challenges and share lessons learned as recommendations for future work.
VortragenderProfessor Matthias Kranz is a full chaired professor and heads the "Lehrstuhl für Informatik mit Schwerpunkt Eingebettete Systeme" (Institute for Embedded Systems) at Universität Passau, Germany. He studied computer science at Technische Universität München and completed his Ph.D. research at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München. After some years in industry at German Aerospace Center, he returned to academia. After several prior appointments, he accepted the position in Passau in March 2013. He researches at the intersection of Embedded Systems and Human-Computer Interaction. The main goal of embedded interaction is to look at new opportunities that arise from embedded systems for interactive systems and the immediate value users gain. He researches on methods, tools and applications of networked embedded systems and novel forms of human-computer interaction with these systems. Application areas of his research are user interfaces in general, novel forms of human-computer interaction, mobile and embedded systems, automotive user interfaces, and applications for the Internet of Things.

Open Access And The Art Of Contract Hacking
from the that's-sneaky dept
Open Access continues to gain momentum, as more and more researchers seek to make their work freely available online. One way of doing that is by modifying the contract that academic publishers routinely send to potential authors, inserting a clause that allows digital copies to be distributed.
That's been working quite well, but some publishers are starting to object, as Freedom To Tinker blogger Andrew Appel discovered recently (link found via BoingBoing.) The Association of Computing Machinery, which claims to be "the world's largest educational and scientific computing society", sent him an email that stated it "does not accept copyright Addenda that exceed the liberal rights retained by authors under ACM's Copyright Policy and the exclusive grant of copyright to ACM as publisher".
But Appel has come up with a neat idea for getting round this block:
In the strange field of computer science, we publish most of our scholarly articles in refereed conferences. In other fields they have unrefereed conferences and refereed journals. We have journals too, but they are less important than the top conferences. In a typical CS conference, 200 or 300 papers are submitted, three months later they have been refereed and 30 or 50 papers are accepted; three weeks later the authors must send in their full-length refereed articles as camera-ready PDF files. Then the conference proceedings must appear (in print and online) within a short time, a few weeks later, when the conference convenes.
Imagine, then, he says, if enough of those authors of the accepted papers simply wrote in a change to their publishing contracts regardless of what publishers might have said about accepting them. The publisher could, in theory, reject those papers, but then it would have a rather thin conference volume, since it could not easily find alternatives to fill the missing pages in the short time period available. As Appel says:
If the volume appears but missing three-fourths of its papers, then that conference is effectively dead, and may never recover in future years.
The publisher is unlikely to run that risk, and so will probably acquiesce to open access for those papers.
Of course, this approach will only work in those disciplines that have such conferences and refereed conference volumes produced to tight deadlines. But that's not really a problem. This isn't about converting the entire academic publishing industry to open access overnight, it's about keeping up the pressure to move there sooner rather than later.

Student exceeds recycling goal
Thursday, April 18, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
Can one person make a difference? Justin Gambill did.
For his senior project, Gambill, a social work and Spanish major from Chetopa, Kan., conducted an E-Waste Recycling Day on campus. His goal was to collect 100 e-waste items for recycling and $100 in donations for the SEK Recycling Center.
"More electronics are being thrown away in landfills wasting precious metals, such as copper, and releasing various toxins such as lead, barium and cadmium, that are dangerous for us and the Earth," Gambill wrote. "The epidemic of throwing away electronics can be avoided simply by recycling them!"
The weather was cold and rainy, forcing Gambill to move his collection from the Oval in the center of campus to the garage in the Physical Plant, but he was still successful. By the end of the day, a smiling Gambill had collected 302 items for recycling and had received $111.90 in donations.

Facebook default landing tabs are gone and pinned posts are the new promotion as Facebook rolls out the Timeline design for fan pages.
According to Facebook, all fan pages will be automatically upgraded to the new Timeline design on March 30, 2012. You can preview the look now and make changes but do not need to publish your new look until March 30th. So admins will have the opportunity to work on the pages outside of the public eye for the time being.
Default Landing Tabs are Gone
Facebook recommends that brands and businesses customize their new Timeline look by:
- Adding a new cover photo at the top of the page
- Marking posts and images as favorites with a star to cause them to extend over two columns and pull focus..
- Add "milestones" to mark key events in your business life
- Arrange the apps and custom tabs visitors can see on your cover
- Pin particular posts to append them to the top of the page.
Here are some of the key highlights in the new changes:
Pinned Posts
The pinned post are a new feature. Pinned posts are those that the page owner decides they want to display at the top of their page. Those posts will appear in the top left of a pages timeline with a flag in the top-right corner, Facebook's version of a pin. Pinned posts will remain there at the top of the page for 7 days and then return to the date it was originally posted to the Page's timeline.
Only posts from the page owner or admins are eligible to be pinned. So posts from fans can't be pinned to the top of a page. To pin a post, the page owner will click on a pencil icon in the top right hand corner of that says "Page's postSelect" and that will move the selected post to the top.
Admin Panel
The admin panel will be a quick view of page information so admins and owners can view notifications, respond to messages, review performance insights and activity logs and access the edit menu to make Page setting changes. Page owners will find the new Admin Panel above the date selector in the upper right hand corner of their page. Fans will not see the admin panel when visiting the page.
Default Landing Page
This change will upset a lot of page owners. Pages will no longer have the option to set up a custom tab for people who are not fans such as a welcome page or a free offer page. So all visitors will land on the wall. This will have marketers scrambling for new creative ways to promote their brands, special offers and apps. You can, however, pin a post with a direct link to that offer, to the top of your page.
Private Messages
One welcome change will be that brands and their fans can now message one another and that's a change fan page owners have been seeking.
Cover Photo Rules
Facebook official lays out the rules of what you can and cannot include in a cover photo and let's us know that all cover photos are public. It remains to be seen if Facebook will be able to enforce these particular rules (it would take an army) but why poke the beast and risk losing your account.
Cover images must be at least 399 pixels wide and may not contain:
- Price or purchase information, such as "40% off" or "Download it at our website"
- Contact information, such as web address, email, mailing address or other information intended for your Page's About Section
- References to user interface elements, such as Like or Share, or any other Facebook site features
- Calls to action, such as "Get it now" or "Tell your friends"
I'll be sharing more for the Facebook announcements later today. Post your questions and I'll get back to you here or on Facebook with answers. In the meantime, start reviewing your images, planning for pinned posts and prepare for the demise of the default landing tab.

Hello. Chelsea might have something that no other London club has,
a captain found guilty of racial abuse a European Cup, but they still want more. A man like Roman Abramovich is never satisfied. Now he wants what Arsenal have: he wants Chelsea's football to win over the neutrals and there could be no better place than the Emirates for Roberto Di Matteo's new-look side to strut their stuff. For years, this has been a battle between beauty and brawn, Chelsea's powerhouses regularly outmuscling Arsenal's artisans, Didier Drogba battering them into submission. Yet Drogba has gone now and this is a Chelsea team built around the likes of Eden Hazard, Juan Mata and Oscar, players who would not look out of place in an Arsene Wenger side. It's not a fight, it's a beauty contest.
The shift in focus could help an increasingly slick Arsenal, because it is not always advisable to engage them in a football match. Certainly not if they play as well as they did at Manchester City last Sunday, although it wasn't just the passing that impressed against the champions, it was the quality of their defending that caught the eye too, even without Wojiech Szczesny, Bacary Sagna and Thomas Vermaelen. How to explain the improvement in Arsenal's defence? Most have put two and two together and come up with the influence of Steve Bould. Indeed they've arguably been more impressive at the back than they have been in the final third so far this season, with Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud still finding their feet in English football. Boring, boring Arsenal.
Kick-off: 12.45pm.
Team news: John Terry starts for Chelsea and will silence the critics by scoring the winner. But Frank Lampard is on the bench, which will surely raise questions about whether Roberto Di Matteo, who has named an extremely bold side, has lost the dressing room. Arsenal make one change from the draw with City, Thomas Vermaelen replacing Per Mertesacker in the centre of defence.
Arsenal: Mannone; Jenkinson, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Arteta, Diaby; Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski; Gervinho. Subs: Mertesacker, Santos, Giroud, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Djourou, Martinez.
Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Ramires, Mikel; Mata, Oscar, Hazard; Torres. Subs: Turnbull, Romeu, Lampard, Moses, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Bertrand.
Referee: Martin Atkinson.
Jamie Redknapp is surprised that Frank Lampard is on the bench. I wonder why.
An email. "Chelsea very much a work in progress as the cliche goes," says Martin Braonain. "Pre season they were not convincing at times but we did have a nice run of games against 'lesser' clubs and AMadrid rumbled us (well falcao did). Looking forward to how the back line and Mikel play. Still no fear at the Emirates."
They weren't too convincing in the end against Juventus either. Whereas Arsenal have passed difficult tests against Liverpool and Manchester City. And Stoke.
Here come the teams. In the tunnel, Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta and Juan Mata share some Spanish Banter. The El Bantico.
Peep! We're off, Chelsea getting us underway and attacking from left to right. They keep the ball for all of eight seconds, a poor pass from Ramires immediately conceding a throw-in. There have been better starts. Loud boos predictably greet early touches from John Terry and Ashley Cole.
2 min: This fixture was a shocking goalless draw last season. None of that today, please! "5 Live just said that the Arsenal mascot snubbed John Terry," says Mark Coale. "I only wish they had meant Gunnersaurus and not the little kid."
3 min: An early chance for chance for Chelsea, Hazard brought down 35 yards from goal. David Luiz sizes it up and spanks an ambitious effort straight at Mannone, the young Italian dealing with an awkward bounce right in front of him.
4 min: This has been a strong start from Chelsea. Torres scampers down the right flank and flashes a fine cross across six-yard box. Mannone stays rooted to his line but it was too far ahead of Mata in the middle. Torres looks over with a rueful look on his face. He's never been on the winning side against Arsenal.
5 min: Now it's Arsenal's turn to threaten, Ramsey firing high and wide from 25 yards out. All the signs are this is going to be an entertaining end-to-end match.
7 min: After seven minutes of booing, it seems the Arsenal fans are already bored with taunting John Terry and Ashley Cole. And if a man is tired of that, he is tired of life. There have been more intimidating atmospheres.
9 min: Arsenal are yet to gain a foothold in this match, with a snappy Chelsea quick to shut them down in their own half. I still question whether this is necessarily Arsenal's best attacking combination, especially with Ramsey on the right. Ashley Cole has been all over him so far.
10 min: This time Ramsey drifts into the middle and finds Gervinho on the right. His first cross is blocked, not that there were too many red shirts in the area, but he gets another chance. He decides to lay it back to Cazorla, who slashes well over the top from the edge of the area. As well as Arsenal keep the ball, they're still not quite there in the final third yet. But you'd expect it to come in time.
12 min: The resurgent Diaby drops the shoulder to beat one man and then repeats the trick on a second Chelsea defender to earn space for the shot. His rasping drive from 25 yards out is straight at Cech though. There's been little in the way of clearcut opportunities yet, but there has been plenty to admire in the way both teams are playing.
14 min: No one is going to win more free-kicks this season than Eden Hazard.
15 min: "How does Wenger expect Giroud to grow in confidence and form if he just benches him regardless of promising performances?" asks Matthew Sharpe. Well this team played very well against City last week. Giroud will get his chance but there's value in bedding him in slowly.
17 min: Arsenal have been forced into an early change. Diaby, who has struggled so much for fitness, injured himself when he took that shot a few minutes ago and on comes Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He will presumably move to the right, with Ramsey dropping inside.
19 min: Hazard plays a one-two with Torres but is sent flying by a late if innocuous challenge from Vermaelen, who gets a stern talking-to from Martin Atkinson. Chelsea have a free-kick on the right.
GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea (Torres, 20 min): This was absolutely woeful defending from Arsenal. Bould out! Mata curled the free-kick in from the right and any number of Chelsea players could have scored from it, with Luiz astonishingly left unmarked six yards from goal. He couldn't reach but on the left side of the six-yard box Torres beat Koscielny to the ball and hooked an outstanding improvised volley into the top-left corner.
23 min: Martin Atkinson has to wave away appeals for penalties at both ends. First Arsenal claimed that Mikel gave Cazorla a sly push in the back after a cross from the left. It would have been soft. Chelsea broke and Torres was suddenly clear on goal after making a Nemanja Vidic out of Laurent Koscielny. He tried to take the ball round Mannone but just as he drew his right foot back to shoot, he was clipped by Koscielny, causing him to go down. It should be a penalty to Chelsea but again Atkinson waves play on.
26 min: Arsenal really got away with one there. They're very lucky not to be two goals down. Koscielny probably wouldn't have been sent off though, because there were covering Arsenal defenders
and it wasn't a goalscoring opportunity because it was Fernando Torres."Thank you Dan Smith of Sunderland," says Sasu Laaksonen, referring to Diaby's substitution.
28 min: A cross from the left finds Gervinho at the far post but his header back across goal is just chested back to Cech by Terry, as cool as you like. "Quick!" says Matt Dony. "Knee-jerk reaction! Zonal marking is the worst system in the world! The worst thing in the world! Even though a man was tight to Torres, it's the system to blame, not the individual. Foreign muck."
29 min: Torres has the ball in the net again but the goal is correctly disallowed for offside. He was played through by a really sharp first-time pass from Mata and then drove past Mannone - who didn't exactly cover himself in glory with a feeble attempt at a save - but he was a yard beyond the last defender. "I can't think of anything more psychologically damaging than getting benched in favour of Gervinho," says Ian Dickinson.
32 min: Vermaelen has a pop from 45 yards out. Oh dear.
34 min: Chelsea are caught out by a quick free-kick from Arsenal on the left but Ivanovic gets back to stop Gervinho at the expense of the corner. And then clears the corner.
35 min: Aaron Ramsey is booked after catching Oscar, who rolls about and should win an, etc etc. "Why was it a penalty Jacob?" says David Berkley. "Torres kicked Koscielny." I disagree. Torres was about to shoot and was stopped from doing so by Koscielny.
37 min: Oh my. Mata slips a pass to the onrushing Hazard on the right. He bursts into the area and as he reaches the byline he sends the sliding Gibbs skittering off into the distance by stopping and duping him with a beautiful turn, before coming up with a rabona cross just for good measure. Koscielny heads away. It wasn't as good as this, mind you.
39 min: Oscar is booked for one foul too many. Meanwhile Chelsea fans are riling the locals by pointing out that Ashley Cole has won a European Cup.
40 min: Jenkinson and Cazorla combine on the right to set up a shooting opportunity 12 yards from goal, but he takes to long and sees his effort blocked by Ramires. Arsenal have come up with very little in the final third.
GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea (Gervinho, 42 min): But now they've come up with something and it's a terrific finish from Gervinho, not usually noted for his ruthlessness in front of goal. Arteta found Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right and his low cross came to Gervinho eight yards out, Chelsea's centre-backs having dropped too deep. Gervinho had his back to goal and still had a lot to do however, but he quickly controlled the ball and then swivelled to crash a shot into the top-right corner in one movement. What a goal machine.
45 min: Suddenly Arsenal are rampant, with Chelsea under the cosh. Jenkinson fires another cross in from the right and Chelsea clear with some difficulty, before Podolski's charge into the area from the left is stopped by Luiz. There will be three minutes of stoppage time.
45 min+1: Chelsea remain a threat though. Oscar finds space on the edge of the area and his low drive flashes just past the left post, the officials failing to spot that it took a deflection off Vermaelen on its way wide and awarding Arsenal a goal-kick.
45 min+4: With the final kick of the half, Torres somehow wriggles out of an extremely tight spot on the right before dragging a low shot into the side-netting.
Half time: Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea. Well that was fun.
46 min: Arsenal get us going again. There are a few red seats dotted around the stadium, supporters making the most of the half time refreshments on offer. Hic!
47 min: Gibbs pokes a pass through to Podolski, whose burst into the area is halted by Luiz. Chelsea break and somehow Torres wins a corner despite losing the ball on the halfway line. Not quite sure how that happened.
48 min: Sideshow Dave is booked for a risible dive in the Arsenal area. It wasn't quite up there with Morten Gamst Pedersen's award-winning effort here a few years ago but it had the lot, an anguished cry and a hilarious leap through the air after a fair challenge from Gervinho. Martin Atkinson was having none of it, despite Luiz's claims that he wasn't really looking for a penalty.
50 min: Great play from Podolski, who takes out two Chelsea defenders with a surging run into the area on the left. His low ball across goal is met with a poor clearance by Cole, the ball knocked straight back to Cazorla but he slices high and wide with his left foot. He probably had more time than he realised there. "Koscielny effectively stopped Torres shooting by getting between Torres and the ball," David Berkley. "That's allowed, surely." Don't you have to, y'know, touch the ball though?
52 min: Vermaelen is booked after buffeting Torres. His look says "Who? Me?" but he knows. Chelsea have a free-kick in a similar position from where their goal came.
GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea (Mata, 53 min): Arsenal concede another horribly soft goal from a set-piece, although it was a terrific delivery from Mata. He curled it deliciously into the corridor of uncertainty with his left and Koscielny, sliding in, only succeeded in confusing Mannone, who reacted too late as the ball bounced into the left corner. I blame Steve Bould.
55 min: "I remember the Pedersen dive – he even had the gall to look over his shoulder (to check the ref's line of sight) before he did it," says SB Tang. "Unbelievable."
57 min: Chelsea fans are crowing, Arsenal's are silent. "He stopped Torres shooting by, not so much getting between man and ball, as running behind man and catching his leg on the backswing," says Matt Dony. "Once he'd got into that position, it couldn't be helped, but he shouldn't have been there in the first place. Case closed, ithankyou."
59 min: What a save from Petr Cech to deny Podolski. This all came from Ivanovic and Luiz messing up a throw-in to hand possession back to Arsenal on the left. Gibbs dinked a cross into the middle and Podolski, in between Luiz and Terry, flicked a looping header towards the far corner, only for Cech to palm it away. Ramsey then spanked a drive well wide from the right.
62 min: Ramsey provokes the ire of the Arsenal crowd by giving the ball away with three sloppy passes in the space of a minute. Arsenal stay on the attack though and Jenkinson is fouled by Cole this far outside the area on the right. That was so close to being a penalty. Ivanovic heads the free-kick away. You wouldn't expect Chelsea to concede against Arsenal in that situation.
65 min: A lightning counter-attack from Chelsea ends with Oscar's feeble drive being collected by Mannone following a string of poor passes from Torres, Oscar and Ramires. Having broken with four or five attackers against an exposed Arsenal defence, that was such a waste.
66 min: Gibbs sends a cross into the area from the left and Luiz, facing his own goal, stretches out a leg to divert it inches past the left post.
67 min: Arsenal use up their final substitutions, Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott replacing Aaron Ramsey and Lukas Podolski. "Looks like we've already got to that stage of the season where Ramsey is burnt out," says Sacha Brady.
69 min: Torres loses the ball with so frequently and often in such hapless fashion. I suspect this team won't be the finished article until they sign a new striker. He just seems to lack that crucial decisiveness at important moments.
71 min: For the last minute we've been able to hear the instructions of - I assume - Roberto Di Matteo on the touchline. "Move the ball! Move the ball!" he shouts as Chelsea stroke it about at the back. Then, as a high ball was sent towards Ivanovic: "Go on! You win it ... well done!"
73 min: How on earth did that stay out? Giroud's shot from the left took a deflection off Luiz but although Cech was going the wrong way, he managed to stick up a hand and push the ball agonisingly past the left post. It looked like it was going to drop in. Giroud's wait goes on.
74 min: Chelsea replace Oscar with Victor Moses, who had a wonderful game here when Wigan won here in April.
76 min: Chelsea have the ball right where they want it: in Arsenal's half. Arsenal are flat. "Well, there's no point Di Matteo shouting anything more tactically specific," honks Matt Dony. "That all comes from Terry."
78 min: Arsenal's frustration grows. They're being keep at arm's length by Chelsea who will be pleased to see this: Kieran Gibbs taking aim from 30 yards out sending his shot soaring into the stands.
79 min: Mata and Torres play a lovely one-two on the edge of the area and Mata is brought down by Gibbs inside the D. An excellent opportunity for Chelsea to put this match to bed. Mata will take it.
81 min: Mata's free-kick goes straight in the wall but it still had a devastating effect, Giroud and Koscielny clashing heads as they both attempted to block the shot. Gary Cahill comes on for the hobbling David Luiz.
83 min: Ramires brings down Arteta on the left. A free-kick to Arsenal in a promising position. Cazorla dinks it in, Cech gets nowhere near it and Koscielny's header clangs against the post. Although the flag is up for something or other, signalling a free-kick for Chelsea.
85 min: Chelsea are looking to shut this down now. The highly promising Ryan Bertrand replaces Juan Mata. Up the other end, Moses runs on to Torres's flick and loops a clever volley over the bar.
88 min: Arsenal are offering next to nothing now. They look beaten. To be honest, they've looked beaten since Mata's goal.
89 min: Gervinho darts in from the left and tees up Cazorla, who places his left-footed effort over the bar from the edge of the area. That was a really inviting chance. He's had a disappointing game this afternoon.
90 min: There will be four minutes of Arsene Time.
90 min+1: What a miss from Olivier Giroud! Oxlade-Chamberlain slipped him in behind the Arsenal defence with a glorious pass, he took it round Cech and then sliced his shot into the side-netting, the big galoot. That was awful. What a chance. That's not going to do Giroud's confidence any good at all.
90 min+2: Ramires is booked for doing something illegal.
90 min+4: Bertrand does brilliantly on the left, beating Jenkinson on the left before pulling the ball back to Hazard, who glides past one man and then sees his low shot deflected behind. The points are surely Chelsea's.
Full time: Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea. The full-time whistle blows and a huge roar goes up from the Chelsea end. Their unbeaten run goes on and they are now four points clear at the top of the table, but Arsenal have suffered their first defeat of the season. They would have snatched a point but for a shocking late miss from Olivier Giroud but if he needs any inspiration that his luck will turn, he need only look at the identity of Chelsea's first scorer: Fernando Torres. Thanks for reading. Bye.

How To Realize Its Potential in the Organization FieldVolberda, Henk W.; Foss, Nicolai J.; Lyles, Marjorie A. (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this Perspective Paper is to advance understanding of absorptive capacity, its underlying dimensions, its multi-level antecedents, its impact on firm performance and the contextual factors that affect absorptive capacity. Nineteen years after the Cohen and Levinthal 1990 paper, the field is characterized by a wide array of theoretical perspectives and a wealth of empirical evidence. In this paper, we first review these underlying theories and empirical studies of absorptive capacity. Given the size and diversity of the absorptive capacity literature, we subsequently map the existing terrain of research through a bibliometric analysis. The resulting bibliometric cartography shows the major discrepancies in the organization field, namely that (1) most attention so far has been focused on the tangible outcomes of absorptive capacity; (2) organizational design and individual level antecedents have been relatively neglected in the absorptive capacity literature; and (3) the emergence of absorptive capacity from the actions and interactions of individual, organizational and inter-organizational antecedents remains unclear. Building on the bibliometric analysis, we develop an integrative model that identifies the multi-level antecedents, process dimensions, and outcomes of absorptive capacity as well as the contextual factors that affect absorptive capacity. We argue that realizing the potential of the absorptive capacity concept requires more research that shows how "micro antecedents" and "macroantecedents" influence future outcomes such as competitive advantage, innovation, and firm performance. In particular, we identify conceptual gaps that may guide future research to fully exploit the absorptive capacity concept in the organization field and to explore future fruitful extensions of the concept.

Abstract: Knowledge governance is characterized as a distinctive research subject, the understanding of which cuts across diverse fields in management. In particular, it represents an intersection of knowledge management, strategic management, and theories of the firm. Knowledge governance considers how deployment of governance mechanisms influences knowledge processes: sharing, retaining, and creating knowledge. We survey the papers in this volume of the special issue, and discuss the remaining research challenges. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8030

With the Comme des Garcons x Matt Groening 'Binky & Shelba PLAY' Capsule Collection launching in the next couple of days, we can present today the limited edition product from the collection. Another t-shirt, as well as two tote bags will drop in limited numbers. Furthermore Comme des Garcons had a quick conversation with the artist about the collaboration.
COMME des GARÇONS: What on earth is it about COMME des GARÇONS that persuaded you to agree to those T-shirts?
Matt Groening: I met COMME des GARÇONS through my artist friends Mondongo and I liked their their wit and audacity. I was aware of Rei Kawakubo and her work as a powerful avant-garde designer but I never thought my silly work of cartoons and her fashion would ever coincide.
COMME des GARÇONS: What would Binky and Sheba think of COMME des GARÇONS?
Matt Groening: Binky would be baffled and Sheba would love it.
COMME des GARÇONS: Do you think Akbar and Jeff would be inspired by COMME des GARÇONS or vice versa?

Recall 12V573000
The Ignition/Transmission Interlock System May Fail
Recall Details
These vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission have a system that prevents the ignition key from being removed from the ignition lock unless the transmission is in the park position. A part in this system can wear and allow the key to be removed when the transmission is not in park. When the transmission is not in park, the vehicle may roll unexpectedly increasing the risk of a crash. To address this concern, dealers will install an updated shift interlock lever and if necessary, replace the ignition switch.
Our Quick Take
Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission are being recalled because in some cases, the key can be removed from the ignition lock when the transmission is not in park.
What Should You Do?
Honda will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning February 7, 2013. If you are experiencing problems with the ignition lock or transmission shifter, or you don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It's helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call. The Honda /Acura recall numbers are S73 & S74.

Rice from the Ebro Delta
The earliest data on rice cultivation in the Ebro Delta are from 1697, date on which there are records of a small plantation in Carrova. This was the base for spreading its cultivation throughout the entire area.
Rice is typical produce of the Ebro Delta. Cultivated on small plantations, it is one of the primary ways in which the land along the river is used. This is one of the most important rice-producing areas on the peninsula, not only because of its production, over 90,000 tonnes annually cultivated on 20,000 hectares, but also because of the quality of the rice that since 1985 has been protected by the Protected Geographical Indicator classification from the Generalitat of Catalunya. The mild climate, with minor differences between day and night, allow the rice to reach the optimum ripeness that gives it great culinary quality. The grain is short, aromatic, very absorbent and slow cooking, which allows it to absorb all types of flavours.

Oh, how this troubles my heart as I have known them since I was very young. I live in Yatesville and have seen the continuing helicopter flights circling near my home. I earlier tonight heard about 15 to 20 gun shots after hearing about this from a nearby relative and hearing nearby dogs barking.

Prayers for the Reeves family.
What is this world coming to?

this is going to be interesting.

Prayers going up. As a restaurant owner myself, I always worry when I leave. I never have money on me, but to have this done at home is even more scary.
#5 Randy Vining on 12/17/13 at 08:06 AM
People, get a gun and learn how to use it!!!
#6 Judy Johnson on 12/17/13 at 08:22 AM
More reason to pass an open carry law,like stand your ground. Be vigilant and aware of your surroundings and conditions.
#6.1 No Thanks on 12/17/13 at 10:00 AM
They don't need a law to carry a firearm in their home or going into their home from their vehicle. The constitution assures law-abiding citizens of that right. Of all places, one should feel safe in and going and coming from their home. Fact of the matter is if someone with ill intent is lying in wait and has the "drop" on you, you are at a disadvantage in an armed confrontation. It doesn't matter what license or law or weapon you have. You are so correct- vigilance is the key even in and around your own home. Faced with the odds stacked against them as it appears by this reporting, the Reeves are fortunate and I pray for a speedy recovery for them both. However, the emotional scars with remain with them long after the bullet wounds are healed.
#7 Robert Tippin on 12/17/13 at 11:01 AM
My prayers and thoughts are with the Reeves.
I am outraged that this sort of thing would happen in our community. I hope that the thugs involved in this terrible criminal act are found quickly and that justice is swiftly administered.
Citizens: arm yourselves, be vigilant and be ready to defend yourself and those you hold dear.

Good work. Real reporters don't wait on news releases.
#9 Preston Thompson on 12/19/13 at 11:53 AM
Yes I carry. And will till I buried. And faced with a treat where I know I'll be shot, in the process I will shoot back. But one thing I rely on around home for vigilance is my dog. He seems to know whenever anything is around. Some folks think a dog is a pain. They are demanding sometimes, but when the saves your life, or give theirs for you, time with the dog is a small price to pay.

How do criminals get all these guns these days? When I was a teenager, almost no one had hand guns. The first person I saw with a hand gun was when I was around 18. They were just unheard of as a general rule.
Now it seems like anyone who is a criminal (or insane) can get any gun he wants. How are they getting guns? Where do they come from?

They steal them or otherwise acquire them through illegal means. They are criminals, after all. Evildoers will take whatever steps they need to in order to do their evil acts. That is why good, responsible people need to be armed and vigilant.
#11 Tom Rauch on 12/23/13 at 11:19 PM
Apparently only 10-15% are stolen:

This is terrible. I had no idea and we ate there on Saturday. I am glad that they survived. I really hope they catch the person who did this.
