Summary: 

Please note that "Uncle Ben's" and similar types of rice are NOT
"ordinary California long-grain rice".  "Uncle Ben's" is so-called
"converted" rice -- it has been par-boiled to make it cook easier 
and faster.

I think we may have question of definitions here -- I consider 'ordinary'
to imply that the product has not had any, uh, extraordinary processing.
So to me, "ordinary" white rice has been dried, hulled and polished.
Period.
