Recently there were numerous discussions and speculations on the shrinking supply of rare earth elements.
Those elements are used in many different applications from hard disks over cars to iPods. Supply for the world demand is curently dominated by China, which delivers about 97 percent.

There are many ways to read the articles in my blog. I recently explained some of them here, but I just stumbled upon another way using the Flipboard App for the iPad (free).

As every Friday I enjoy reading into some of this weeks news. I am back from my vacation so I read a little more again this week. My favorite reads were the KPMG study and Jan Husdal’s article on research gaps.

Since I am using a Mac to support me with my research, I use Papers by Mekentosj for the organization of my literature. Just last week they finally made a new feature available for the public. It is called Livfe and enables you to share and discuss papers in your library and discuss their content with your peers.

This week has been low in news and I have been very busy so I just link to one article that I forgot to mention last week:
Risk issues and research gaps (Jan Husdal)
The benefit of the Sarbanes-Oxley-Act of 2002 have been widely discussed. Most people have either a negative or a ambivalent view of the resulting compliance activities.
Usually S-OX is seen in the domain of the accounting and finance departments. Effects on other corporate functions are often neglected.
The article by Kros and Nadler (2010) analyzes why and how supply chain professionals and supply chain activities might be affected by S-OX.

This week is all about blogs, since I found some great articles there. I purposefully left out the news on Irene since I am sure you already had enough of it this week. But, you should definitely see Irene from the International Space Station, from above things seem very calm.
