MIAMI -- Retired Col. George "Bud" Day, a Medal of Honor recipient who spent 5 1/2 years as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam and was Arizona Sen. John McCain's cellmate, has died at the age of 88, his widow said Sunday.
Day, one of the most highly decorated U.S. servicemen since Gen. Douglas MacArthur and later a tireless advocate for veterans' rights, died Saturday surrounded by family at his home in Shalimar, after a long illness, his wife, Doris Day said.
"He would have died in my arms if I could have picked him up," she said.
Day received the Medal of Honor for escaping his captors for 10 days after the aircraft he was piloting was shot down over North Vietnam. In all, he earned more than 70 medals during service in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
He was an enlisted Marine serving in the Pacific during World War II and an Air Force pilot in the Korean and Vietnam wars.
In Vietnam, he was McCain's cellmate at one camp known as the Plantation and later in the infamous Hanoi Hilton, where he was often the highest-ranking captive. During his imprisonment, the once-muscular, 5-foot-9 (1.75-meter) Day was hung by his arms for days, tearing them from their sockets. He was freed in 1973 - a skeletal figure of the once dashing fighter pilot. His hands and arms never functioned properly again.
"As awful as it sounds, no one could say we did not do well. (Being a POW) was a major issue in my life and one that I am extremely proud of. I was just living day to day," he said in a 2008 interview with The Associated Press. "One really bad cold and I would have been dead."
In a statement Sunday, McCain called Day a great patriot and said he owed his life to the man. "He was the bravest man I ever knew, and his fierce resistance and resolute leadership set the example for us in prison of how to return home with honor," McCain said.
Born Feb. 24, 1925, in Sioux City, Iowa, where the airport is named for him, Day joined the Marines in 1942 while still in high school. He returned home, graduated from law school and passed the bar exam in 1949. He entered the Iowa National Guard in 1950 and attended flight school. He was called to active duty in the Air Force the next year and did two tours as a bomber pilot in the Korean War.
In Vietnam, Day was shot down over North Vietnam on Aug. 26, 1967. He bailed out, but the landing broke his knee and his right arm and left him temporarily blinded in one eye.
In the spring of 1968, Day's North Vietnamese captors opened his cell door and brought in McCain, who was wearing a full body cast and was nearly dead. McCain had been in isolation for seven weeks and could not wash or feed himself, Day wrote in "Return With Honor," his 1989 autobiography.
"We were the first Americans he had talked to. ... We were delighted to have him, and he was more than elated to see us," Day wrote. They helped nurse McCain.
After the war and his release, Day retired to the Florida Panhandle in 1977 and practiced law, becoming a crusader for veterans' health care benefits in the courts and in Congress.
"People would stop us in the airports and all over, and we had no idea who they were, and they would say, `Thank you, you saved my husband's life,' or, `You saved my wife's life,' " Doris Day said. The couple celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary in May.
Day was active in McCain's failed 2000 and 2008 Republican presidential bids and in 2004 campaigned against fellow Vietnam veteran John Kerry. Day called Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, a turncoat who lied to Congress in 1971 about alleged war atrocities.
"I draw a direct comparison to General Benedict Arnold of the Revolutionary War to Lt. John Kerry," Day said in 2004. "Both went off to war, fought, and then turned against their country."
Day retired from the Air Force at the rank of colonel, never attaining his general's star. He said he believed he wasn't promoted further because he "told it like it was."
"When I returned from prison, there was a huge amount of the Air Force leadership that were not combat-oriented. They were quasi-political managers," he said.
Campaigning for McCain in his 2008 presidential bid, Day drew comparisons between the lessons of Vietnam and the dangers of an early pullout from Iraq.
"They cut off funding to the South Vietnamese Army and we ended up being defeated, and that's really very relevant to what's happening right now," Day said.
Day worked throughout his life, accepting an appointment to head the 35-employee Okaloosa County Public Defender's Office in 2009 at the age of 83 after the Panhandle circuit's newly elected public defender asked him to take the job as a personal favor.
-- Nelson-Gabriel reported from Pensacola, Fla.

Gene responsible for many spontaneous breast cancers identified
Cancerous tumors contain hundreds of mutations, and finding these mutations that result in uncontrollable cell growth is like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. As difficult as this task is, it's exactly what a team of scientists from Cornell University, the University of North Carolina, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York have done for one type of breast cancer. In a report appearing in the journal Genetics, researchers show that mutations in a gene called NF1 are prevalent in more than one-fourth of all noninheritable or spontaneous breast cancers.
In mice, NF1 mutations are associated with hyper-activation of a known cancer-driving protein called Ras. While researchers have found earlier evidence that NF1 plays a role in other types of cancer, this latest finding implicates it in breast cancer. This suggests that the drugs that inhibit Ras activity might prove useful against breast cancers with NF1 mutations.
"As we enter the era of personalized medicine, genomic technologies will be able to determine the molecular causes of a woman's breast cancer," said John Schimenti, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Center for Vertebrate Genomics at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York. "Our results indicate that attention should be paid to NF1 status in breast cancer patients, and that drug treatment be adjusted accordingly both to reduce the cancer and to avoid less effective treatments."
To make this discovery, scientists analyzed the genome of mammary tumors that arise in a mouse strain prone to genetic instability—whose activity closely resembles the activity in human breast cancer cells—looking for common mutations that drive tumors. The gene NF1 was missing in 59 out of 60 tumors, with most missing both copies. NF1 is a suppressor of the oncogene Ras, and Ras activity was extremely elevated in these tumors as a consequence of the missing NF1 gene. Researchers then examined The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data, finding that NF1 was missing in more than 25 percent of all human breast cancers, and this was associated with a decrease in NF1 gene product levels, which in turn is known to increase Ras activity.
"This research is compelling because it helps us understand why some breast cancers are more likely to respond to only certain types of treatment," said Mark Johnston, Editor-in-Chief of the journal Genetics. "The findings reported in this article may guide clinicians to better treatments specific to the needs of each patient."

The LG GW520 is an odd beast, neither fish nor fowl. It has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, like a business phone, but there's no Wi-Fi, so you can't access broadband internet and there's no option to add apps like you can with a smartphone.
But it is a slim and sleek affair (at least by QWERTY keyboard standards) and includes LG's widget-based interface, push email, quad-band GSM, HSDPA 3G, a 3-megapixel camera and FM radio.
There's also a couple of nods to social networking with a Facebook app and LG's Livesquare, which offers a picturesque way of keeping track of your contacts.
LG is clearly aiming it at the middle of the market, but to keep down costs it has also dispensed with camera flash and autofocus as well as GPS and made do with very little onboard memory.
It's less of a smartphone proper, and more of a QWERTY-packing Cookie – a low(ish) cost style phone with a little bit of extra attitude.

The visitors made light of having to play twice in three days as Jermain Defoe and Paulinho struck either side of half-time before Nacer Chadli blasted in and Defoe tucked home his sixth of the season to give them a deserved win, matching their easy league victory on the same ground last term.
But the outcome hinged on a bizarre incident immediately after the restart, which Villa boss Paul Lambert was convinced should have reduced Tottenham to 10 men.
Introduced for Libor Kozak at the interval, Nicklas Helenius got round the back of Jan Vertonghen as they chased Matt Lowton's forward pass into the box.
In his desperation to recover the lost ground, Vertonghen stumbled and as he was falling made a grab for Helenius. The Belgian succeeded only in grabbing the striker's shorts, yanking them down to his knees just as he was about to shoot.
Helenius carried on anyway, blasting over from an acute angle.
To Lambert's disbelief, referee Jon Moss opted to give a goal-kick rather than a penalty that surely would have been accompanied by Vertonghen's exit.
That Paulinho's goal came within two minutes of such a strange incident underlined it was not going to be Villa's night as Spurs' successful start to the season continued.
It also made it a successful night for their veteran former Villa keeper Brad Friedel.
Now 42, Friedel is the oldest player in Tottenham history.
The American is remembered fondly for his three seasons at Villa, though, when he was ever-present in the Premier League, racking up a grand total of 131 appearances.
Warm applause prior to kick-off did not mean Friedel was prepared to do the hosts any favours, though, and after Marc Albrighton had nipped in front of Kyle Walker, he plunged to his left to keep the midfielder's low shot out.
On the day England manager Roy Hodgson learned Theo Walcott will miss next month's World Cup qualifiers, the sight of Walker going down after experiencing pain in his right foot with no one near him was not good news.
It looked quite serious as Walker hobbled to the touchline. Fortunately, the full-back was able to continue even if he did feel the problem area every so often.
The Albrighton opportunity was Villa's best as Tottenham's eight changes proved to be significantly stronger than the same number made by Lambert.
Indeed, were it not for 21-year-old goalkeeper Jed Steer, Villa would have fallen behind long before Defoe nodded home his fifth of the season.
Steer did have one lucky escape when he delayed slightly too long over a clearance, which Defoe managed to charge down, only for the rebound to bounce wide.
He made up for that error, though, producing a superb one-handed stop to deny Erik Lamela, who had been set up by Holtby.
Defoe was also repelled by Steer before the England man struck.
Holtby created the chance with a precise chip over the Villa defence which Defoe had read.
The striker is not the tallest but he got up high enough to flick the ball over Steer and in.
Any hope Villa had, following the introduction of Helenius and Jordan Bowery at the break, disappeared in that mad couple of minutes that involved the Dane's shorts being taken down.
Lambert must have had a nagging sense of foreboding as Spurs swept down to the other end.
Lamela's deflected free-kick earned them a corner, which Holtby delivered to the near-post for an airborne Paulinho to stab home his second goal in three days.
Villa tried to rally, with Aleksandar Tonev forcing an excellent save out of Friedel before the end.
But the visitors' advantage was never really threatened.
Substitute Chadli scored his first Tottenham goal four minutes from time, with Defoe putting the seal on an excellent win with almost the last kick.

Romero optioned to Triple-A after rough start
Gonzalez designated for assignment; Ortiz, Storey promoted from Buffalo
ST. PETERSBURG -- Ricky Romero's return to the Major Leagues has officially come to a screeching halt after only two starts.
Toronto decided to option its former No. 1 starter to the Minors on Thursday for the second time in less than two months. The move came just one day after Romero managed to record only one out in a start versus the Rays.
Romero will now report to Triple-A Buffalo, where he'll continue working on his mechanics that were refined during Spring Training and the first month of the season.
"I think it's a combination of things, the performance, we need to get him to pitch, obviously get him to have some success, get some more innings under his belt," general manager Alex Anthopoulos said when asked for specific reasons behind the decision.
"We felt like we needed to give him more starts down there. I don't think it's as much about strike-throwing, even though there were still some walks, I think it's just about needing to go out there and pitch and have some success and string together some starts."
Toronto's decision to promote Romero from the Minors earlier this month has come under heavy criticism. Romero spent the month of April throwing bullpens and extended spring games in an effort to perfect his new mechanics.
The Blue Jays had Romero change his delivery with the goal of taking a more direct line to the plate. The other purpose was to have him not throw across his body as much, as he had in the past, and, by doing so, improve his overall command.
After Romero's work in extended spring was completed, he made just one start for Class A Dunedin before receiving a promotion. The club was in dire need of another starter after right-hander Josh Johnson was placed on the disabled list, and the accusation is that Toronto rushed Romero not because of his progress but because of circumstance.
That type of move could have the effect of reversing any type of progress Romero made with both the physical and mental aspects of his game, but was something Anthopoulos denied to a group of reporters Thursday evening.
"Hindsight is 20/20, I don't know, if we would have brought him up two weeks later, three weeks later, would this have occurred?" Anthopoulos said when directly asked if the club made a premature move. "You look at other players, we've had Travis Snider go down and I know he doesn't pitch, but we've had position players go down for months, come back and have to go back down again.
"Sometimes it takes time. Maybe it's one of those things, as confident as he felt and as much success he felt he was going to have ... maybe sometimes you end up failing a little bit here and he realizes he'll have to continue to work on some things. We have no question he's going to work hard and do everything he can, and he's a great competitor and he will be back."
Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker saw several encouraging signs from Romero's last outing despite the ugly pitching line. Romero surrendered four hits to the seven batters he faced but none of the balls were particularly well hit.
If some of the groundballs had been hit a different direction they likely could have been turned into double plays but instead got through holes around the infield for singles. Romero certainly didn't do himself any favors by issuing a pair of walks, but overall it wasn't quite as bad as the line might indicate.
But that's where the positives stop. Romero's velocity was slightly down and he appeared to be aiming the ball rather than just letting loose. Walker was asked whether a lot of the problems are mental and he didn't exactly deny it.
"That's hard for me to answer," Walker said. "But I think it's still a confidence issue in what he's done and getting back on a Major League field and competing like he did in the past. You know I think he had great intentions, but I still think there's a little hesitancy on his part and a little tentativeness. I think once he gets over the hump you're going to see the results going to be a lot better."
In a corresponding move, right-hander Edgar Gonzalez was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Thursday after allowing five runs in 4 2/3 innings versus Tampa Bay the night before. Right-handers Mickey Storey and Ramon Ortiz were promoted from Triple-A Buffalo to fill the two vacancies on the 25-man roster.

Despite increasing efforts to diagnose and treat anemia worldwide, there remains a surprisingly large global burden of the disease, particularly among young children and women, according to a new report on trends in anemia between 1990 and 2010. The report was published online today in Blood, the Journal of the American Society of Hematology.
Anemia is a complex condition characterized by a low level of hemoglobin, the protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to all parts of the body. A low level of hemoglobin leads to impaired delivery of oxygen to the body and causes symptoms including weakness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Symptoms of anemia in children may include impaired mental or motor development.
Historical estimates on the global prevalence of anemia vary widely based on either inconsistent data or the incorrect assumption that anemia is always caused by iron deficiency. Disease prevalence is consistently higher in individuals of low socioeconomic status, those considered to be underweight, and females who have recently given birth. Some estimates suggest that as many as 50-80 percent of individuals in these high-risk populations may have some degree of anemia.
"While we know that anemia is highly prevalent, it has been difficult to quantify the true global burden of this disease without over-counting or duplicating occurrences based on the range of likely causes," said lead study author Nicholas Kassebaum, MD, of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington in Seattle. "In addition, previous studies have been geographically limited and have lacked detail about the disease's severity or cause."
Seeking to create the first comprehensive audit of the global burden of anemia, Kassebaum and colleagues conducted an analysis of anemia data from a large global study (the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study) aiming to more accurately calculate the burden of disease worldwide. The team reviewed data on the 17 most common causes of anemia cases from 187 countries between 1990 and 2010 to calculate the total prevalence and disability burden rates (reported as years lived with disability, or YLD, which captures the average duration and relative severity of the disease). Anemia disease burden was defined based on hemoglobin deficiency using standard thresholds that varied by sex, age, and pregnancy status. As the analysis did not include all anemia-related comorbidities, the actual burden of disease associated with anemia may be higher.
Overall, the report found that while the global prevalence of anemia decreased between 1990 and 2010 (from 40.2% to 32.9%), the disease remains responsible for a significant burden on society, with an increase in global YLDs from 65.5 million to 68.4 million over the 20-year period. By comparison, this global disease burden is greater than burden associated with major depression (63.2 million YLDs), chronic respiratory diseases (49.3 million YLDs), and general injuries (47.2 million YLDs).
Though the overall prevalence of anemia decreased during the study period (from 40.2% in 1990 to 32.9% in 2010), the burden among children under age 5 actually increased. This age group accounted for more cases of anemia than any other age group and had the highest severity of disease in low- and middle-income regions. In addition to the difference in prevalence and burden related to age, data gathered by investigators also indicate a widening gender gap in anemia burden over time. While prevalence decreased in both genders between 1990 and 2010, the changes were more pronounced for males, while female prevalence remained higher in most regions and age groups.
Data from the report also indicate stark differences in the burden of anemia throughout different parts of the world. Data indicate a reduction in anemia burden between 1990 and 2010, particularly in East, South, and Southeast Asia. Yet over the same time period, total anemia YLDs increased in other regions such as the lower income regions of Sub-Saharan Africa.
"While many advances have been made to combat anemia worldwide, these results demonstrate that this disease remains highly burdensome," said Dr. Kassebaum. "Further, our study confirms that young children and women continue to carry the greatest burden, underscoring a need for these groups to remain priorities for anemia control interventions. Our hope is that these findings help encourage the facilitation of new strategies to help begin to reduce this burden, particularly in these high-risk populations."

Exedy Racing Clutch NMRA Ford Nationals - Hello Columbus
The Labor Day Weekend Tradition Continues In Ohio With The NMRA Ford Nationals
For 31 years, Mustang and Ford owners in the Columbus, Ohio, area have headed to National Trail Raceway on Labor Day weekend for a big all-Ford race and car show. In the late '70s and '80s, the Performance Ford Club of America staged the original Ford Expo at the quarter-mile track on the east side of town. For a while, the club split from the track and instead held a car show at a local Ford dealership while National Trail continued with its own all-Ford race. Today, however, everything is happily back together under the NMRA banner.
This year's Exedy Racing Clutch NMRA Ford Nationals was held over the September 4-6 weekend. As usual, there was a large turnout of Northeast-based Mustangs and Fords for both the drag racing and the car show.
Editor's Choice
Nothing speaks the essence of vintage Mustangs like a Light Blue '66 convertible with standard interior and a six-cylinder engine. While Hi-Po fastbacks and Shelby GT350s get all the glory, the basic Mustang convertible was the car that most Americans coveted. That's why Mike Johnson's '66 stood out from the Columbus crowd to earn the Mustang Monthly Editor's Choice award.
But that's not the only reason. Mike's convertible is a clean machine, with beautiful Light Blue paint by Lyons Body Shop. And while it's a basic six-cylinder/automatic, the Mustang is also well-equipped with power steering and brakes, wire hubcaps, and the rare bench seat. In addition to the Mustang Monthly Editor's Choice, the Hilliard, Ohio, resident took home NMRA awards for Sunday's Top 20 Fords and Best Small Body Ford.

If you need assistance uploading your paper, please contact the Manuscript Central helpline weekdays between 12:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST at 434-964-4100 or 888-503-1050 (both U.S.-based numbers). If you are a new user this will be a two step process:
In order to facilitate processing of submissions, please make sure that:
NOTE: The Academy of Management uses the iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. You can be reassured that AOM is committed to actively combating plagiarism and publishing original research. View our plagiarism policy. To find out more visit Crossref.
iThenticate is also available to authors and researchers who wish to check their papers before submission. iThenticate compares submitted documents to extensive data repositories to create a comprehensive Similarity Report, which highlights and provides links to any significant text matches, helping to ensure that you are submitting an original and well-attributed document. iThenticate is a separate service to Crossref.
NOTE: With regard to the question, "Can I submit a paper to AMLE that has been reviewed and rejected as a regular submission or by a Special Issue?" The answer is No, unfortunately, we cannot allow authors to submit previously reviewed and rejected papers. Sometimes authors will take a gem of an idea from their rejected paper and develop it into an entirely new paper. In this case, we could consider the paper as a new submission if the authors can demonstrate that the paper involves a different theoretical framing and addresses a substantially different issue or question than the rejected paper.
The editor will screen all manuscripts submitted to the Research & Reviews and Essays & Dialogues sections. In some cases, a manuscript may be returned without peer review if it is judged to be inappropriate for publication in AMLE. Manuscripts that are egregiously deficient in grammar, spelling, and punctuation also may be returned without review. Manuscripts judged to be consistent with the mission and standards of AMLE will be submitted for double-blind review to at least two referees as dictated by content-one referee is always an Editorial Board member. Senior authors can expect to receive first-round feedback via email in approximately 75 days, moderated by the editor or an associate editor.
Manuscripts will be evaluated by referees on the following criteria (which will be selectively applied, based on the nature and type of the manuscript):
Authors are encouraged to solicit feedback from colleagues on early drafts. A manuscript can be improved dramatically when knowledgeable reviewers are asked for reactions in advance of submission. Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that their contents have not been published and are not under consideration elsewhere. Presentation of a paper at a professional meeting does not disqualify it from consideration.
AMLE publishes a wide range of materials devoted to management education in colleges and universities, and indeed, in all organizations that formally foster learning about management, in four content areas:
We seek a variety of articles, including quantitative and qualitative empirical manuscripts, theoretical discourses and models, literature reviews, and general or specific appraisals of approaches to individual learning and management education. Authors of submissions for this section are encouraged to consider prior literature as well as relevant theoretical perspectives when developing their manuscripts. At AMLE the nature of the contribution to the literature can be practical, such as when a new teaching or assessment technique is demonstrated to work better than other established techniques. Papers describing courses or curricula, or the methods used to create them, are generally not appropriate for our journal. We are not a teaching-practice journal that publishes descriptive work; instead, we are a scholarly journal that publishes rigorous logical and empirical analyses of courses, curricula, programs, and other practices within business schools.
When submitting quantitative empirical papers, authors are encouraged to include a correlation matrix of all variables, including descriptive statistics. In addition, we ask that for every significance test conducted, an effect size must be provided. There are two major classes of effect sizes appropriate for most statistical tests. The first class of effect sizes involves standardized mean differences. Effect sizes in this class include indices such as Glass' Δ , Hedges' g, and Cohen's d. Because most quantitative analyses reported in our journal are part of one General Linear Model family,variance-accounted-for effect sizes are the other option. Effect sizes in this second class include indices such as r2, R2, and ŋ2.
Although there is no formal page limit, manuscripts submitted for this section are typically between 20 and 40 pages. The editor will consider papers longer than this only in rare occurrences. As always, length should reflect the value of the contribution. Submissions should follow the Style & Formatting guidelines below, and prospective authors are welcome to contact the editor at:

We are interested in a wide variety of provocative manuscripts on current and future issues and trends in teaching, learning, and management education for this section of the journal. Essays are original commentaries or critiques. Narrative accounts of author experiences with specific instructional technologies, techniques, courses, or program creation are not essays. Dialogues are responses to papers previously published in AMLE. Interviews are discussions with academics, educators, and business or thought leaders that would be of interest to our readership. Submissions should follow the SUBMISSION INFORMATION guidelines below, and prospective authors are welcome to discuss ideas with the associate editor listed below.
Dialogues are rooted in Exemplary Contributions, Research & Reviews, or Essays published in AMLE, and should broadly advance the state of scholarship in the area of the target paper, as opposed to being primarily critiques of the reasoning or methodology of the target paper. Authors of the target paper will not normally be allowed to respond to a Dialogue, except when the Editor and relevant Associate Editors deem that such a response could add significant value. In such instances, Dialogue, and the response from the author of the target article will appear contiguously. Although there is no formal page limit, manuscripts for this section are typically between 20 and 40 pages. The editors will consider papers longer than this only in rare occurrences.
Before developing an interview-type manuscript, prospective authors are strongly encouraged to consult with the section editor to ensure that their topic and approach is consistent with AMLE's mission and audience:
Paul Hibbert Russ Vince
Exemplary Contributions are invited from prominent scholars and practitioners. Please do not submit uninvited manuscripts for this section. However, we encourage you to send suggestions of individuals who have made significant contributions to individual learning and management education to:
William (Bill) M. Foster
AMLE publishes reviews relevant to individual learning and management education (books, videos, simulations, exercises, etc.), which are designated and coordinated by the associate editor listed below. We welcome reviews of materials that can be used by management educators, practitioners, and researchers and are particularly interested in reviews of resources drawn from across the disciplines. Unsolicited reviews will not be accepted. We encourage readers interested in writing reviews and those who have suggestions of materials for review to contact:
Megan Gerhardt
All manuscripts submitted to Research & Reviews or Essays, Dialogues, & Interviews should be double-spaced, with 12-point font and 1-inch margins. The cover page should be uploaded as a separate document; it should include the title, the name and contact information (i.e., address, telephone, and e-mail) of all authors, and any acknowledgments. This page will not be part of the manuscript sent out for blind review. The first page should include the title and an abstract of 200 words or less. All manuscripts should reflect the comments and specifications below.
AMLE seeks well-argued, well-written manuscripts that our audience will want to read and remember. Toward that end, we recommend the approach to writing presented in George D. Gopen and Judith A. Swan's, "The Science of Scientific Writing" (American Scientist, 1990, 78: 550-558) and Joseph M. Williams', Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace, 6th ed. (2000, New York: Addison Wesley Longman, Inc.).
Following this approach, we strongly endorse the use of first person when it accurately describes agency. Thus, if you did something, "I" would be appropriate; similarly, if your team did something, "we" would be appropriate. And if you are the sole agent, there is no need to disguise your contribution with a royal "we." So, in situations where the first person accurately describes the agency, "I" and "we" are not only appropriate, they are preferred. (Speaking of pronouns, use the pronoun "he" only in reference to individuals known to be men. Please do not use the generic "he," and refrain from using "he/she" or its variations. Vary pronouns as appropriate.)
Headings make a manuscript's structure more visible, which helps the reader understand its organization and flow. All headings should begin flush against the left margin:
This Is a Second-Level Head
This Is a Third-Level Head
This Is a Fourth-Level Head. (Text should follow on the same line)
Please remember that a heading structure is really just a traditional outline without the Roman numerals, capital letters, and so forth, so within any section, if any headings at the next lower heading level are used, at least two such headings must be used.
Tables and figures can enhance both the reader's understanding of information and the efficiency of its presentation. But just as too many overhead slides can ruin an oral presentation, too many figures and tables can detract from the overall narrative. Thus we encourage the judicious use of tables and figures and we discourage their overuse. The proper construction of tables and figures is a detailed craft, so in preparing them for your manuscript, please follow the detailed instructions presented in the styles guides of the Academy of Management Journal and Academy of Management Review, both of which are published in the first issue each year.
Guidelines for submitting figures/images:
As with AMJ and AMR, AMLE follows the referencing format and practices of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th ed. closely, although there are minor differences. So in the text, cite the author, year of publication, and if appropriate, the page numbers within parentheses. For example: (Gopen & Swan, 1990: 552).
An important detail when citing a reference is whether to give the exact page numbers. We ask that authors always give the exact page number(s) when they quote another source verbatim. This is also good practice when citing a specific finding. Page numbers are not always necessary, of course, and many times it will simply be a matter for your own judgment. However, we ask that you put yourself in the place of a reader who would like to check the cited finding or idea. Would your citation allow the reader to easily locate the cited material once the source was obtained? Or would the reader have to read all of a 500-page book to track it down?
The reference list itself should be located at the end of the text before any tables or figures that accompany the manuscript. References should be listed in alphabetical order, and if more than one reference from the same source is listed, list them in chronological order beginning with the oldest source first. Many types of sources can be listed, of course, and we refer you to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th ed., for advice on almost any type of source you would like to cite. However, we present models of the most common types of sources below:
A key distinction for articles is whether they are part of a page-numbering sequence that runs through the entire volume or begins anew with each issue of the periodical. An example of each type is given below, with the form for the volume-length numbering illustrated first, followed by the form for the numbered-by-issue method.

The objective of the Books and Resource Review (B&RR) section of AMLE is to provide our readers with insightful and informative reviews of a diverse array of resources. We define the term "resources" broadly - such that we are interested in reviews of not only books but also software, hardware, internet sites, training programs, experiential exercises, simulations, and other tools that may assist management educators and practitioners in developing their knowledge, skills, and awareness. Additionally, the current editorial board has made a strategic decision to include reviews of resources drawn from outside of the management domain. As a result, we are particularly interested in reviews of applicable resources drawn from across the disciplines (e.g., Computer Sciences, Engineering, Education, Journalism, Humanities, Law, Medicine & Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences), as well as those specifically targeting management educators.
Although the editors will initiate the review of both popular and classic media, we encourage editorial board
members, and indeed Academy of Management members, to recommend specific reviews that AMLE should undertake. It should be stressed that AMLE will strive to address the range of interests represented by all divisions and interest groups of the Academy. In addition, we will strive to represent alternative, unique, and emerging viewpoints from across the disciplines and around the globe, both in the selection of resources and the selection of reviewers.
Please find more specific information on the format of BRR contributions, under BBR Guidelines. We encourage you to follow these guidelines, but also to consider whether an alternative approach might be appropriate given the nature of the resource and the nature of the review undertaken. If an alternative approach is preferred, please contact the B&RR section editor, Megan Gerhardt, before beginning the review, using the phrase AMLE Book and Resource Reviews in the subject line.
Each year, AMLE publishes a special
thematic issue coordinated by guest editors. Please check out our complete list of forthcoming and past special issues.

particular story really nails the atmosphere that was the Dodgertown Experience before Los Angeles pulled the plug and made Glendale, Arizona the Winter Home of The Los Angeles Dodgers.
One of the best write ups we've ever read about Dodgertown and the true fan experience that was apart of it. Please read it. Clearly the thoughts comes from the author's heart.
That's about as intimate as it gets.
Our pictures speak for themselves. But what really struck us visiting Holman Stadium were the three commemorative plaques which strongly suggest the history The Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers brought to Vero Beach and abandoned in 2008 for the desert of Arizona.

Pocola day care to open with storm shelter
Pam Abernathy has 26 years of experience as a day care provider but a lifetime of living in Tornado Alley.
"It's terrible to know you have all these kids and there's nowhere to go," Abernathy said. "We've lived through that two or three times. All you can do is put them in the bathroom and hope for the best."
Abernathy is about to begin working at Amazing Lives Day Camp in Pocola, Okla. The day care will be one of the few in the region with its own storm shelter. Their steel box, measuring 11 feet by 28 feet, is bolted deep into the ground and will hold about 63 people.
The shelter can survive an F-5 tornado. Tim Renfro, co-owner of the day care, said he and his wife were compelled by their own experience as parents to include a storm shelter when they decided to open a day care.
Renfro said he didn't get any government money for the shelter. After all the paperwork, the money he would have saved would be minimal, he said.
"It's approximately a $13,000 paper weight," he said. "Hope we never have to put any kids in it, but if the storm comes, just out the back door of the center itself and into the place of safety."
Renfro said he is working toward getting certified by Arkansas in addition to Oklahoma to serve those parents on both sides of the border who pay for their day care with state subsidies.

The Benedictine monastery of Ercsi was located about 40 kilometers south of Buda (present—day Budapest), on an island of the Danube next to the much larger Csepel Island. The monastery was founded by Palatine Thomas (1185-1186), who was also buried there. The monastery ceased to exist during the Ottoman conquest of central Hungary and stones of the monastery church were used as building material for the church of Szigetújfalu during the 18th century. During the past summer, the exterior of the Szigetújfalu was restored, giving a chance to examine the Romanesque carvings used as building material there, and also providing a chance to remove some of these stones. The first report on this was written by Lilla Deklava Farbaky and Balázs Bodó, and was published in the December 2010 issue of the journal Örökség (Heritage), published by the National Office of Cultural Heritage. The issue can be read online (a least by those with some knowledge of Hungarian) – for the benefit of my other readers, I am providing an abstract of the text below.
"Topographical literature has noted before that the church of Szigetújfalu was built in 1770 using stones from the abandoned monastery of Ercsi. Géza Entz published this first in an article in 1965. During the Spring and Summer of 2010, while plaster was removed from the exterior of the church, a chance came to finally examine these stones.

Athabasca Basin and beyond
Uranium news from Saskatchewan and elsewhere to October 31, 2014
by Greg Klein
Next Page 1 | 2
Fission hits 8.53% U3O8 over 24 metres at Patterson Lake South
A second batch of assays hit the streets October 27 from Fission Uranium's (TSX:FCU) Patterson Lake South summer program, the final drill season before a maiden resource due in December. Thirteen holes from the R780E zone showed mineralization at shallow depths, some with very impressive results. Several holes broaden the zone's lateral width at different locations up to about 93 metres north and 38 metres south, and also extend the depth. Still the focal point of PLS, R780E remains by far the largest of four zones along a 2.24-kilometre potential strike that's open at both ends.
Some of the best results follow:
Hole PLS14-253
- 1.33% U3O8 over 16.5 metres, starting at 117.5 metres in downhole depth
- (including 3.57% over 5.5 metres)
- 1.65% over 5 metres, starting at 155 metres
- (including 5.37% over 1.5 metres)
- 0.62% over 13 metres, starting at 169 metres
- (including 2.42% over 2.5 metres)
- 1.76% over 39.5 metres, starting at 61.5 metres
- (including 3.16% over 8 metres)
- (and including 6.22% over 3.5 metres)
- 1.17% over 11.5 metres, starting at 104 metres
- (including 3.99% over 2.5 metres)
- 5.02% over 5 metres, starting at 256.5 metres
- 4.21% over 38.5 metres, starting at 132 metres
- (including 23.53% over 6 metres)
- 2.77% over 13.5 metres, starting at 205 metres
- (including 6.95% over 4 metres)
- 1.43% over 42.5 metres, starting at 58 metres
- (including 5.91% over 9.5 metres)
- 0.74% over 26 metres, starting at 104 metres
- (including 2.42% over 6 metres)
- 1.85% over 8 metres, starting at 234 metres
- (including 6.63% over 2 metres)
- 0.27% over 22.5 metres, starting at 191.5 metres
- 0.37% over 19.5 metres, starting at 216.5 metres
- 0.56% over 16 metres, starting at 164.5 metres
- (including 1.44% over 4.5 metres)
- 8.53% over 24 metres, starting at 78 metres
- (including 24.87% over 7.5 metres)
- 0.55% over 28.5 metres, starting at 105.5 metres
- (including 2.02% over 3.5 metres)
True widths weren't provided.
These results bring the total to 42 holes reported. Assays for another 18 delineation holes and 22 exploration holes are pending. The previous batch of summer assays, released earlier this month, included the project's strongest intercept so far.
Lakeland Resources ready to drill Star/Gibbon's project, confirms drill-ready targets at Lazy Edward Bay
A busy summer has moved two Lakeland Resources TSXV:LK projects to the drill-ready stage, one of which will see a rig working as soon as winter conditions allow. Announced October 28, a 1,500-metre program on the adjacent Gibbon's Creek and Star properties follows positive results from surface sampling and a DC-resistivity survey, some of the Athabasca Basin's highest RadonEx readings and confirmation of a radioactive boulder field grading up to 4.28% U3O8.
The two properties on the Basin's north-central rim host a regional, multi-staged, structural lineament immediately west of the Star Uplift, a basement outcrop about 350 metres by 700 metres, that extends south to the Gibbon's Creek boulder field about three kilometres away. In addition an east-west resistivity low, interpreted as an alteration corridor, has been found near an historic intercept of 1,500 parts per million uranium.
Surface sampling at the uplift found a gold trend that also revealed platinum group elements, rare earths and anomalous low-grade uranium. Follow-up drilling will test the trend and examine basement geology as it relates to the Gibbon's Creek targets, Lakeland stated.
With depth to the unconformity ranging from 50 to 250 metres, the company anticipates an economical program of shallow drilling. Roads and power lines cross the property, which lies a few kilometres from the town of Stony Rapids.
The company wholly owns Gibbon's Creek and holds a 100% option on Star.
Meanwhile exploration at Lazy Edward Bay has confirmed the project's drill-ready targets, as well as its prominence in Lakeland's portfolio. Field work on two areas of the 26,375-hectare property on the Basin's southeastern edge revealed anomalous rock samples, soil samples and RadonEx readings, the company announced October 30.
The Liberty Trend consists of an approximately five-kilometre-long conductive zone intruded by diabase dykes. Near a radioactive spring reported earlier in October, two boulders graded 537 ppm and 896 ppm U3O8, also showing anomalous levels of the pathfinder elements arsenic, cobalt, chromium, nickel and lead.
Two nearby soil samples returned uranium values of 13.7 ppm and 14.8 ppm, along with 2,920 ppm arsenic, 119 ppm cobalt and 112 ppm nickel. An outcrop sample farther south showed low-grade uranium and was also enriched in copper, cobalt and zinc, the company added.
The significance of the Liberty Trend "appears to be a rare combination of favourable geochemistry, geophysics and surface rock samples anomalous in radioactivity coupled with a series of radioactive springs within a complex structural setting," said Lakeland president/CEO Jonathan Armes. "This confluence of geologic features attests to the potential of this area to host a large mineralizing system."
The project's Bay Trend underwent 150 soil samples over a 789-sample radon-in-soil grid. The samples showed several anomalous geochemical results coinciding with previously identified basement conductors. This year's work further refines the conductors.
Results from both the Liberty and Bay trends confirm high-priority drill-ready targets and Lazy Edward's place among "the most promising early-stage exploration projects that Lakeland has assembled, which include the Gibbon's Creek, Star and Newnham Lake properties," Armes said.

Fission 3.0 stakes new ground, joins Brades on Clearwater West fall campaign
Seven new acquisitions, along with expansions to four other properties, bring the Fission 3.0 TSXV:FUU portfolio up to 17 projects totalling 232,088 hectares, all in the Basin area except one in Peru. The expansion came through staking, the company announced October 29.
Karpinka Lake, a 3,072-hectare property 40 klicks south of the Basin, features at least 14 historic uranium occurrences. The most significant "consists of a series of five discontinuous low-grade zones of stratabound uranium mineralization," Fission 3.0 stated.
Midas, a 1,476-hectare property near Uranium City, has five known uranium occurrences including an historic intercept of 0.19% U3O8 over 9.6 metres.
On the Basin's north-central rim, the 1,678-hectare Hearty Bay property sits up-ice from a boulder train that graded up to 3% uranium.
Eighty kilometres south of the Basin's southeastern margin, the 5,745-hectare Hobo Lake property has had historic lake sediment samples showing anomalous uranium. South of the Basin but north of Hobo Lake, the 1,213-hectare Costigan Lake property benefits from a 2005 airborne radiometric survey that found anomalous radioactivity associated with conductors.
Just beyond the Basin's southern edge, the 1,866-hectare River Lake "has potential to host outliers of sandstone cover, which is the favourable host rock for unconformity and perched styles of uranium mineralization."
East of the Basin's northeastern margin, the 2,412-hectare Flowerdew Lake underwent airborne geophysics in 2005, finding "moderate to strong formational electromagnetic conductors trending northeast."
A 1,024-hectare addition to Beaver River covers an extension of the property's EM conductors and includes two historic uranium showings. Cree Bay got another 5,252 hectares of contiguous turf along the prospective Black Lake shear zone. Grey Island grew by 1,271 hectares over a strong EM conductor. Thompson Lake added 577 hectares, also covering the extension of a conductor.
On October 15 Fission 3.0 and Brades Resource TSXV:BRA announced fall plans for their Clearwater West joint venture. The program calls for mapping, prospecting and a DC resistivity survey to follow up on radiometric anomalies identified last May. Brades holds a 50% option on the 11,835-hectare project, where Fission 3.0 acts as operator. Read a review of the companies' announcement by Geology for Investors.
Winter drilling planned for Azincourt/Fission 3.0's Patterson Lake North
Patterson Lake North's agenda calls for a $1.5-million, 3,200-metre winter program, JV partner Azincourt Uranium TSXV:AAZ announced October 21. Work will follow up on last summer's drilling, targeting the property's A1-A4 conductor area and two untested areas, the N conductor trend and the Broach Lake conductor system.
The 27,408-hectare property lies adjacent to and north of Patterson Lake South. Fission 3.0 acts as operator. Azincourt, which currently holds a 10% stake, said its $1.5-million winter expenditure will complete the $3-million year-two requirement, raising its total to 20%. The option allows Azincourt up to a 50% interest.
The company also stated it distributed the Macusani Yellowcake TSXV:YEL stock resulting from that company's acquisition of Azincourt's Peruvian properties (read more here and here). Shareholders got "the equivalent of $0.09 per Azincourt share, based on the recent Macusani share price."

Service members committed suicide during 2012 at a record pace: more than 349 took their own lives across the four branches, or one every 25 hours, a Department of Defense spokesperson confirmed Monday.
The Army sustained the heaviest suicide toll at 182, a dark tally that — as NBC News reported Jan. 3 — marked another frightening first as soldier suicides last year outpaced the 176 Army members who were killed in combat while serving Operation Enduring Freedom, according to Pentagon officials.
During 2012, there also were 60 suicides among active-duty members of the Navy, 59 in the Air Force and 48 in the Marine Corps. Throughout the U.S. military, suicides increased by nearly 16 percent from 2011 to 2012, figures show. The Department of Defense has been issuing annual reports that track suicides since 2008, said spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith.
"We are deeply concerned about suicide in the military, which is one of the most urgent problems facing the department," Smith said in a prepared news release. "Our most valuable resource within the department is our people. We are committed to taking care of our people, and that includes doing everything possible to prevent suicides in the military."
The continuing rise in active-duty suicides coincides with a bevy of new initiatives and programs within the military aimed to stem the epidemic. For example, a crisis number has been launched for any active-duty member experiencing suicidal thoughts to dial, or for military family members to call if they spot a mental-health disaster looming within their home: 1-800-273-8255.
"This happens almost every month when they come out with the suicide numbers: (a flurry of media stories and public vows to immediately solve the problem), so I don't want to get stuck on the number. But it's too high and clearly it's not a good trend," said Kristina Kaufmann, executive director of Code of Support Foundation, an Alexandria, Va.-based nonprofit that advocates for needs of those in the military community, including military families.
"We have a lot of organizations both within the government and within the nonprofit sector that are trying (to curb the military-suicide rate) and people are really, intensively — finally — looking at this. But there's a lot of damage in the pipeline and that's the part we haven't dealt with effectively," Kaufmann added.
Advocates fear the military suicide rate will climb in coming years as more troops are drawn down in Afghanistan. They worry about a spike, in part, because military families — typically the first people to spot mental-health red flags in their returning loved ones — "are just not effectively integrated into suicide-prevention efforts," she said.
"We've asked too much of too few for too long, and this is the conversation the country needs to have. This is not just a military issue," she added. "Look at how most of us got through the 10 years of war and the multiple deployments. This is a very tough community, unbelievably resilient. But after everybody comes home, and is home for longer than six months to a year, and we're all together again in a non-emergency situation, that's when the cracks will show.
"When we're finally all able to take a breath, people are going to have to start dealing with the challenging things we've all kind of pushed down (internally) for the past 10 years. Remember what works well in battle and in combat and the characteristics that make a good soldier or a good Marine are sometimes not successfully translated when you come home," Kaufmann said. "That's where it's going to be tough for people to readjust."
The figures confirmed Monday are preliminary suicide statistics and do not include 110 "pending" reported suicides among active-duty troop in 2012 that are still under investigation by medical examiners, Smith said.
Typically, those still-unconfirmed cases receive final rulings by late summer and the Department of Defense releases its annual report on the previous year's suicides sometime in August. The Pentagon, Smith added, is expected to follow that same timetable in 2013.
NBC News' Courtney Kube and Jim Miklaszewski contributed to this report.

I improvised this pasta dish tonight out of ingredients in my fridge and pantry that I needed to use up. Despite the wacky mix of ingredients, it actually tastes delicious!
First I sautéed 4 cloves of garlic, 1 shallot, and 4 scallions in plenty of olive oil, seasoning with some herbes de Provence, freshly ground black pepper, and dried kombu and shiitake-laced sea salt (similar to the Breakaway Cook's umami salt, but minus the Parmesan). Then added a bunch of white Swiss chard, sliced into ribbons, a handful of chopped walnuts, and a roughly chopped Fuji apple. Then I added in a few splashes of 100% pure apple cider from the farmers market and a heaping spoonful of organic white miso. I let the mixture braise on low heat for a bit until the greens wilted. Meanwhile, I cooked up the whole wheat penne pasta. I used the apple and chard mixture to dress the pasta, adding a bit more olive oil, and topping things off with some grated Gruyère cheese and more freshly ground black pepper.

The Features and benefits of the CLP-675
Real Grand Expression
Real Grand Expression. This phrase defines the expressive capability of Clavinova. It is not only the full realization of the sound, the touch and the pedals, but the application of technologies nurtured by crafting acoustic pianos to perfectly integrate these three elements into a single piano. This piano produces that exact sound you want through the touch of the keys and the feel of the pedals. As you play, you will truly feel as though you are playing a grand piano.
The CLP Piano Sound
Two World Class Concert Pianos
The CLP offers two of the world's finest 9 foot grand pianos to choose from. The CFX, Yamaha's premier piano is a 9 foot concert grand made by the finest Japanese artisans and technicians Yamaha has to offer. The Bösendorfer Imperial is a hand made piano crafted in the Viennese tradition of fine piano making to encompass a sound with warm bass resonance, singing treble and rich tonal colors. Bösendorfer has a rich history of being the piano of choice of Franz List, Brahms and Johann Strauss.
Both of these superb pianos' Voices are featured in the Clavinova. Tuned to perfection by a highly-experienced piano technician with the sound from each key sampled individually, Clavinova truly captures the unique tonal character of each of these outstanding instruments.
An Additional 34 sounds are present on the CLP to stimulate your musical expression.
Piano – CFX Grand, Bösendorfer Imperial Grand, SU7 Upright Piano, Bright Piano, Mellow Grand, Warm Grand, Pop Grand, Jazz grand, Rock Grand and HonkyTonk piano.
Electric piano – Stage E. piano, DX. E. Piano, Vintage EP, Soft EP, Phaser EP, DX Bright, and Tremelo Vintage Electric piano are included to help recreate your favorite, rock, pop and jazz electric piano sound.

Bass – Acoustic Double Bass, Bass & Cymbal, Electric Bass and Fretless Bass are present so you can split the keyboard and become your own 1 man band.
Historic Instrument – Harpsichord 8′ and Harpsichord 8'+4′ are on the piano to recreate your favorite early period classical music. These voices also features historic touch settings of the Harpsichord so variation of touch will produce the same sound.
Virtual Reality CFX Head Phone Sound
When choosing the CFX Grand setting while wearing headphones the musician will be immersed in the sound of CFX as if they are sitting at the real acoustic piano. Binaural sampling uses special microphones that capture not only the sound but the location the sound is coming from to give the human ear a 3d effect.
The sound is heard just as it was played.
The grand piano voices of the Clavinova CLP series were obtained by recording the sounds of a Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. A single piano best suited for recording was selected and then tuned to the finest possible condition by a veteran piano tuner. All the sounds were recorded with meticulous detail resulting a beautiful, harmonious piano Voice.
Smooth tonal transformations perfectly matched to key pressure
Pianists can change the volume of the sound – as well as its dynamics – to achieve both mellow and bright tones by simply changing the pressure they apply to the keys.
The Clavinova features long, carefully-sampled recordings of notes on a piano, reproduces them in rich detail and utilizes unique Yamaha technologies to achieve smooth tonal transitions in response to the touch of the player.
From staccato to legato – superbly expressive sound that responds to the player's touch
Featuring Yamaha Smooth Release technology, Clavinova offers the crisp tone heard when playing staccato as well as the lingering sound produced by releasing the keys more. This provides finely-nuanced response to the pianist's playing.
Key-off Samples
The moment your fingers are lifted from the keys of a grand piano, subtle changes occur in the instrument's tone as the damper is lowered onto the strings to mute the sound. Key-off samples feature actual recordings of these changes, offering a faithful reproduction of the most subtle nuances in the piano's tone, creating a more realistic overall sound.
The Grand Touch Piano Action
The touch of an acoustic grand
The GrandTouch Keyboard was developed with a clear awareness of the need to recreate the responsive feel of a grand piano. For instance, one of the major characteristics of a grand piano is the wide change in key touch, from playing softly to striking the keys hard. Grand pianos respond to different ways of playing with different key touches—the keys move lightly when played softly, and the keys respond firmly when played strongly. With the GrandTouch Keyboard, Yamaha has considered the key mechanism and weight, as well as the key shape and friction that occurs during key travel. In doing so, we have widened the range of differences in key touch between lighter and harder playing. This lets you naturally sense the difference between louder and quieter sounds. Furthermore, we have designed the GrandTouch keyboard to allow you to play with an expressiveness that rivals that of a grand piano, as the GrandTouch Keyboard gives you tactile feedback from the time you touch the keys until they reach the keybed. What's more, we have included a mechanism that simulates the lifting of hammers on a grand piano, recreating the feeling of escapement at the end of the key stroke. With this, the GrandTouch Keyboard emulates both the release feeling that is unique to an actual escapement mechanism, and the feeling of stopping that comes afterwards.
Synthetic ivory keytops – a pleasure to play even after hours of performance
Reproduces the gentle, tactile surface of the ivory keyboards once used in only the finest pianos. It features highly-absorbent material that prevents fingers from slipping even after hours of performing, while retaining the ideal texture and feel.
88 note Linear Graded Hammers
Every single key on a grand piano keyboard is weighted differently. This is because the strings for each note are slightly thinner and shorter in the treble register, becoming thicker and longer towards the bass register. The 88-key Linear Graded Hammer keyboard is the first of its kind to faithfully duplicate this graded touch with differing weights and key return on each one of its keys. This results in a feel and response that is astonishingly like that of a grand piano, and allows players to gain an appreciation for a more authentic touch.
Keyboard Stabilizers – Yamaha-unique mechanisms for improved keyboard stability and durability
Keyboards fulfill the vital role of transforming emotion from your fingertips into sound and therefore, must be smooth to play in order to maintain superb touch for prolonged performances. That is why Yamaha has fitted Keyboard Stabilizers to all 88 keys, offering players a natural touch and improving the stability and durability of the keyboard.
Natural feel, even on the back-end of the keys
Clavinova key tips are far from the fulcrum, so the keys sink smoothly when played near the base
The keys on the Clavinova are constructed so that the support point hidden inside the instrument body is as far from the key tip as possible, improving playability and comfort, even deep on the back of the key.
This construction provides good key travel, even when performing pieces played mainly on the black keys and the backs of the white keys, allowing nuanced variations in touch and broadening your expressive range.
Grand Piano Damper Pedal
Using the damper pedal subtly alters the nature of a piano's sound and is essential to providing the pianist with all the necessary expressive tools to convey their musical vision. Clavinova digital pianos feature a damper pedal that continually detects depression depth and allows half-pedaling, which lets players make minute adjustments to pedal depression and return, changing the depth and character of their piano sound.
The GP Response Damper Pedal offers a grand piano-style resistance curve, starting out light to the touch and growing heavier as the pedal is depressed further. This allows players to become accustomed to the nuances of delicate pedaling.
CLP Digital Piano Technology
Full-body resonance, just like an acoustic piano
Similar to an acoustic piano, the Clavinova is calibrated carefully, with speaker positioning and body materials checked to ensure that the entire instrument resonates optimally. For a sound image that is very close to the grand piano, these instruments feature Tone Escapement in several locations throughout the body that allow the sound from the speakers to be projected to the listener's ears without being trapped inside the instrument.
Acoustic Optimizer – Regulation to ensure a balanced tone
The body of the Clavinova contains Acoustic Optimizers that regulate the flow of sound and control tone. A new technology springing from Yamaha's intimate knowledge of the acoustic properties of the interiors of musical instruments, Acoustic Optimizers deliver natural, smooth feel and tone across the entire keyboard.
Wireless Bluetooth Audio
You can play your music wirelessly through the Bi-amplified audio system of your CLP. You can send data such as Mp3 files from your bluetooth enabled device to the speaker system of your Clavinova. Now you can enjoy using the CLP with your apps and music coming through the same speaker system as you play along.
Easy-to-use Interface
An easy-to-read LCD and intuitive layout enable simple operation of your Clavinova, giving you more time to focus on playing. An intuitive button interface allows you to sit down and play the Clavinova before diving into the owners manual,
Multi-track Song Recorder
The recording function featured in Clavinova digital pianos allows you to record your performances with a single touch, which is useful when you want to review or archive your playing. You can record up to 16 tracks for simultaneous playback allowing you to create your own songs using different sounds, or record each hand separately.
* Recordings are made in MIDI format, and can also be recorded to USB flash memory. Compatible software is required for playback of recorded data on a computer.
*WAV and recording functions available with optinal flash drive
New reverb that offers dynamic ambience and spatial effects
A new reverb system allows you to experience the sensation of playing in a large concert hall, cathedral or other venue, adding depth and atmosphere to the sound. Now you can experience concert hall ambience and spaciousness in the privacy of your own home.
Twenty Different Rythms
Play along with 20 different built in rhythms to add excitement to your playing. Adjust the tempo of each rhythm to match your song and choose the style that complements your song. Pop and Rock feature 7 different versions, Jazz setting offers 4 different configurations, Latin is available in 5 distinct styles, and 4 different Kids & Holiday rhythms round out the selection.
Piano Room Setting
New to the CLP-635 and up series is the piano room setting! You can customize the voices in the piano group bank by adjusting various parameters such as the lid position, string resonance, damper resonance, Brightness, Keyboard Touch, Virtual Resonance Modeling, Key off sample and Half Pedal point
IAC (Intelligent Acoustic Control), perfect for playing at home
The ability to adjust performance volume is extremely useful at home where players may not always be able to play at high volume levels. Often at low volumes, both bass and treble may become difficult to hear. To counter this, Clavinova is equipped with Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC), which adjusts the sound automatically, allowing players to enjoy balanced sound at any volume level.
Instrument apps to expand your musical horizons
Clavinova and Apps
If you use an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, Yamaha apps will make playing more convenient and enjoyable!

About half of the world's companies will adopt bring-your-own-device programs by 2017 and will stop providing computing devices to employees, a new Gartner report predicts.
Ultimately, only 15% of companies will never move to a BYOD model, while about 40% will offer a choice between BYOD and employer-provided devices, according to the report, by Gartner analyst David Willis.
While mobile computing improves productivity, the average cost of company-provided devices is high: more than $600 per employee per year. The ability to cut those costs combined with opportunities to increase employee satisfaction, among other things, has helped drive the BYOD movement, Willis wrote.
Most of the IT executives surveyed by Gartner think well of BYOD, but only 22% said that they "believe they have made a strong business case" for mobile projects, according to the report.
One challenge of BYOD is figuring out the best way to reimburse employees for their out-of-pocket expenses, according to the report.
Other considerations include security concerns, the cost of management tools, the need for application licenses and "more potential problems for an overtaxed help desk," Willis wrote.
