...producers have often been just as famous as rappers, a phenomenon that Saldaña and Cabrera have brought to the reggaeton world. Today, the duo have used their own emerging hit-making power to gather a circle of reggaeton talents around themselves with their own label, Mas Flow Inc, even branching into remixes of more established pop artists like R. Kelly and Ricky Martin. Of course, the language barrier is one major factor keeping reggaeton from total penetration into the mainstream market in this country. Unlike many other forms of Latin music, however, most of the best reggaeton...

...unsafe food: the centralization of the process for making food and the use of unsanitary material from rendering plants. The recall brought to light that the wheat gluten, which was eventually recalled, came from a single Chinese company but ended up in over 100 brands of pet food. ChemNutra Inc., based in Las Vegas, bought 873 tons of gluten from the Chinese company, farmed it out to three pet food makers and one distributor that services the industry. A highly centralized process may be cheap, but "at that size and scale if something goes wrong it goes wrong big time...
