The signage is finally here and installed at MakiBiz! (fanfare)
Design by Tokyo based design team KBT(pronounced "kabuto"), these flags officially announced our arrival in Ishinomaki. The concept of these flags are taken from a colorful flag on a fishing boat announcing a big catch.
These flags will serve well to those trying to find MakiBiz, and not receive calls in front of the street about where we are located anymore. Find the flag, then you found us.

As Football For Hope enters its final lap, we'd like to take a short breather and thank everyone who has helped along the way. In addition to the astounding generosity and commitment of FIFA and streetfootballworld, we couldn't have made it this far without the help of our fantastic Design Fellows, enthusiastic consultants, wise local contractors, volunteers and generous material donations. We are especially thankful to the consultants who have worked pro bono, dedicated so much to the mission and willing to donate their professional expertise to these incredible projects.
Read more to learn about some of the amazing participants that have contributed to the successful completion of so many of the Football for Hope Centers. With 11 projects behind us (shown below), and 9 more nearing completion, we're expecting the Football for Hope Program to open its last door by early 2014. Stay tuned for more ribbon cuttings over the next few months.

Two years after the event, the memory of the devastation and heartbreak caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 is beginning to fade. But for the kids of BEYOND Tomorrow, the events of that day changed their lives in ways they could never have imagined, in ways that they will never forget.

GARRETT GOMEZ, VENTURA, Winner: "When she came over the first time she ran down the hill and I told Bobby that by the end of that year I would win a Grade I on her. I think it really surprised Bobby that I came with such words. It wasn't too much longer, June I think, that she won that Grade I. She's just been amazing. She's probably one of the best fillies I've ever ridden going a mile. Actually she IS the best filly I've ridden going a mile. She has the most explosive turn of foot I've ever seen. I don't want to see her go. I wish she could stick around another year. I actually think she's better now than she was as a 4-year-old. In a lot of her other races she tried to pull herself up, but today when I asked her to go, she went and accelerated and ran away from them. But she's got another career in front of her now and hopefully she'll send some of her babies my way."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, TUSCAN EVENING, Second: "She ran really good. She made an easy lead, I didn't really have any pressure. I tried to take the race track, but the winner was just too much. Second best."
ALEX SOLIS, DIAMONDRELLA, Third: "My filly, she ran a tremendous race. We did what we could but Ventura is just amazing. We chased a champion, what can I say?"
HUMBERTO ASCANIO, VENTURA, winner: "That's what I want — for him. I wanted this one more — for him. I wish she could stay one more year, but that's the last call. And that's why he wanted her in, he knew she was gonna win this one. They wanted to retire her a winner.
"He didn't say much (about the Breeders' Cup). He saw the race, the pace was too slow. If I screwed up he might have told me something, but he saw the race and he knew there was no pace in the racae. She ran good, she tried, but there was too much to do.
"I don't do too much, one half and that was it. Try to keep her happy, that's all. I didn't want the leader to get too far in front. I don't have to tell Garrett (Gomez) anything, because he knows her pretty good, he knows what to do. (What has the weekend been like?) It's like a dream. Everything is in memory of him."
GARRETT O'ROURKE, manager of Juddmonte Farms, Lexington: "It was Bobby's last wish. He said so the Friday before he died, he called me up and I got the feeling it was the goodbye phone call. And he told me that he was scared and what he was going to do, not take anymore of the transfusions. And he paused — that chokes anyone up — then he turned around and said, 'talk to Humberto, we're still going with Ventura, right? Just tell him two easy half miles and she will be there.' He knew he was going in days, and still, it was that important to him.
"Obviously they are all special. Over the years Bobby developed a few favorites. Most of them were fillies and she was definitely one of them. She can be a mean devil and he used to laugh at that because she was all personality and he was all personality, himself.
NOTES: The time of 1:33.58 was a stakes record, eclipsing the mark of 1:33.63 set by Precious Kitten in 2007 . . . Trainer Bobby Frankel won a record eight Matriarchs and a record 17 Turf Festival winners in his Hall of Fame career. In his final days, he recommended delaying Ventura's retirement so she could start in The Matriarch. She became the second Grade I winner saddled by his longtime assistant, Humberto Ascanio, in two days. Ascanio sent out Fluke to win Friday's $300,000 Citation Handicap . . . Juddmonte Farms has a record six Matriarch wins.

The Lady Wildcats, who were led offensively by Kennedy Robinson and Marissa Dubose with 12 points each, fell, 45-41.
The Lady Wildcats had drawn within three points of East Paulding with less than two minutes left in the final period and the scoreboard reading 41-38 when their pressure forced an errant pass from the Lady Raiders that careened out of bounds.
But rather than scoring after the East Paulding turnover, Woodland turned the ball over itself and the Lady Raiders quickly coaxed two foul calls and added four points via the charity stripe to go up, 45-38.
Robinson buried a 3-point shot with under five seconds left to close to 45-41 but time expired before Woodland could fashion a miracle ending.
"We played a very good, physical team," coach Colman Roberts said. "We had a shot to win it. Things didn't go our way on certain plays, but I'm proud of the effort."
Gordon Lee 61, Excel 30
Excel entertained one of the state's top ranked teams Tuesday and learned Gordon Lee deserves the respect it is getting from sports writers.
The Lady Trojans are a top 10 team, Excel coach Michael Roberson noted, and showed their basketball prowess with a 61-30 defeat of the Lady Eagles.
"They are very good, very fundamental, very sound," Roberson said. "In the first half, their players shot about as well as I've seen any team shoot this year, girls or boys. They seemed to hit everything."
He said the Lady Eagles found themselves in a deep hole very early on as a result. "They had us 31-5 at end of the first quarter, then seemed to put it on cruise control the rest of the way."
Gordon Lee outscored Excel 19-11 in the second quarter, for a 50-16 lead at the break. The Lady Eagles were outscored 9-5 in the third period but tallied 9 points while allowing two in the final frame.
"In the second half we outscored them but [coach Lester Galyon] was playing all his young girls," Roberson said.

James: Because of the rate of technological advancement in the past few years and the explosion of new channels like social media and mobile, has it almost been a case of going back to the drawing board, in terms of determining the mix?
Janie: I find that I'm spending a lot of time finding the right vendors to align with all the different things that I want to do. We all have an agency of record but our agency of record may not be the expert in all these different areas. So we use them to help us aggregate. But it doesn't always quite work so well. It would be a lot easier if we all worked for the same company and we could bring it together and build this multichannel plan. That's not to say that there aren't issues with brand team structure too, because we're also very much siloed. I have the same agency building the consumer website that builds the HCP website. Sometimes I don't know of an issue until someone from corporate brings it up. I'm like, "Wait a minute, that's why I have the same agency." So, there are internal and external issues that need to be aligned before we can do multimedia fully integrated.
Karl: I totally agree. From a manufacturer's side you often see brand teams that are structured. This person is in charge of personal promotions, this one is in charge of conferences, this one is in charge of whatever else. They're not often orchestrating events. It can be a case of, "I'm going to have the best conference plan that I can have and it doesn't matter how it fits into everything else." Oftentimes, we're policing clients, which is not a role that they're excited about sometimes. Aggregating the expertise (of both agencies and clients) and coordinating it well is not something that can be done in the world that we all live in, which amounts to: Run through the day, get as much done as you can, hopefully not work until all hours of the night, go home and have a good meal and then start over the next day. I think companies have to encourage strategic thinking time and coordination time, which I haven't seen with a lot of the clients I've worked with over the years. It's been very much a case of, "How do I get done what's in front of me? And how do I measure success on that? Boom! Good… maybe we'll do another one next quarter." I think if anyone had the right answer how to overcome that, we'd all be rich. But right now, still, no matter how much we try to embrace an aggregated approach, brand teams and many agencies are just not structured to execute it.

I am not completely sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but it is writing related:
What good examples of fear/terror inducing techniques do you know?
Of the top of my head i am thinking of
- the apache indians scalping of dead enemies and hanging them in their horses/spears/belts
- displaying of enemy heads/skulls in various entrance places
These are mostly associated with war time and done to inspire fear of death on adversaries, but can also think of obvious others:
- creepy people in dark secluded places
- the illusion of a character's complete and non obvious control of a situation (sort of like hannibal lecter when locked away in Hannibal, that captured guy in the beginning of James Bond Quantum of Solace - "we have people everywhere", among many others)
- the general (very very reprovable) tactics used by Anders Breivik (murdered lots of people in a youth camp and in a bomb attack in Oslo and had a very extensive right wing plan for europe that got a lot of attention because of his infamous exposure on TV) and his general passiveness over it all
- the way the earth vanishes in the beginning of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", leaving the main character (and the reader) in shock
I really hate the neonazi example, but it's in line with what i am searching for. I don't have much restrictions on theme/approach (i think the examples speak for themselves)
This could probably be made into a community wiki, i guess.
UPDATE: Great answers so far, thanks! Can anybody think of more examples/techniques?

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the Niles ABS-1 FG00271 by Jim Richardson Here's the scenario: You've already wired your house with remote speakers in different rooms, all being driven by your main receiver. There's a separate audio system in your bedroom, and you'd like to use its amplifier to play the audio through the same speakers you've got wired to your multi-room system. But how do you wire two amplifiers to the same set of speakers without damaging your equipment? The Niles ABS-1 solves that problem. It provides safe switching between two amplifiers — like the one in your main system and the one in your bedroom — and a single pair of speakers. Operation is automatic: when the ABS-1 senses a signal from your secondary amp, it passes it on to the speakers. The speakers in the rest of the house are unaffected, so your main system continues to play elsewhere. Read more Now, back to our scenario: Install the ABS-1, and when you want to listen to your smaller system through your bedroom speakers, just turn it on and the ABS-1 does the rest.

Features Product Overview: The ABS-1 is designed specifically to enable two audio sources to use one set of stereo speakers. The speakers are connected to the device using spring-loaded push terminals. The ABS-1 will automatically switch back and forth between the "A" and "B" inputs based on signal level sensed by the unit at the "B" input. Product Features: The ABS-1 offers the following features. Integrates a local, independent audio source into an existing speaker installation Signal-activated switch requires no user action Will not interrupt other speakers in the house Adjustable delay for switching back to the main source Adjustable switching-trigger level Compact design remains out of sight Power handling of 600 watts RMS Powered by wall-mounted AC transformer (included) Sensitivity Controls: Adjust the sensitivity control clockwise until the switch activates and you can hear the audio through the connected speakers. You will hear the relays in the ABS-1 "click" when triggered. By turning the sensitivity knob clockwise you can increase the sensitivity up to 5 watts and by turning it counter-clockwise you can decrease the sensitivity down to .2 watts. Once the "B" input senses the set amount of input level it will activate the "B" speaker turn off the "A" speaker. Once the input level goes below that input level it will switch back to speaker "A" after a set amount of time. Delay Controls: Adjust the delay control clockwise to increase or counter-clockwise to decrease the delay time. This control sets the amount of time the ABS-1 will switch from "B" speaker back to "A" once the "B" input is removed. This delay time may be set between 1/4 of a second and 30 seconds. The delay time takes into account certain events that occur during the playback of sources such as the time a CD player takes to change discs or tracks.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 One Set of Speakers-Two Uses Written By Drew, New York, NY on Friday, November 06, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this device hoping it would function for a use that wasn't exactly in it's description. And...it works perfectly. I have a 5.1 system and a Marantz SR6003 (from Crutchfield). The Marantz has a poor multi-channel audio function which prevented me from using my rear speakers for a fuller stereo listening experience. I listen to music 90% of the time, but didn't want to give up the 5.1 surround set up for that 10% of movie watching I do. I looked everywhere and finally stumbled across this switcher from Niles. Essentially, I am running wires from my rear and Front B outputs on the Marantz to the Niles switcher, and one set of wires from the switcher to my rear speakers. When I switch to A+B on the Marantz, I get my gorgeous sounding 4 channel audio. When I switch to A only on the Marantz, the rears function as they are supposed to. Awesome solution if you have an older receiver which doesn't allow you to use the rears speakers for multichannel stereo listening, or if you have a receiver like me, which doesn't function as advertised. Great device for a modest price. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Unusual product, but a necessity... Written By William, Bradenton, FL on Sunday, June 11, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have the optional speakers on my Plasma TV (for normal TV viewing) as well as the speakers that came with my Home Theater unit (for DVDs). Well I decided to use the Plasma TV's speakers for both TV as well as DVD viewing. Problem is I needed to switch the speaker input from 2 seperate sources. This product did the trick. Works wonderfully well and easy to install. My only caution is that until the settings are properly adjusted, (mostly trial and error) there was a LOT of clicking and swithching the speakers. Once adjusted - no problems at all. Every bit as good as advertised. 52 out of 56 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

MEAC Final: N.C. A&T back in the dance
Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va. — Early in the season, having tried everything he could think of to help solve his team's free-throw shooting woes, Morgan State coach Todd Bozeman finally decided to ignore it, and focus instead on defense.
The strategy worked, to a great degree, leading to an eight-game winning streak that brought the Bears to the brink of their third tournament championship in the past five seasons.
But then their weakness came to the forefront, and cost them dearly; the Bears missed 12 of 20 free throws Saturday, including eight of 14 in the second half, and lost 57-54 to North Carolina A&T in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament championship.
"It's not all that surprising that it came back to bite us," Bozeman said.
The Bears (17-15), who went down three on two free throws by Adrian Powell for the Aggies with 23.4 seconds left, had a chance to tie it and the ball in the right hands, but Powell blocked DeWayne Jackson's 3-point shot and, after a scramble, one last desperate heave by Jackson in traffic never had a chance.
Jackson, who led the Bears with 20 points, was emotional after his final college game.
"All I can say is I tried my best," he said after a long pause.
Powell led the Aggies (19-16) with 14 points and Lamont Middleton had 13 — all in the second half — to boost A&T into the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1995. The Bears were playing in the championship game for the fifth time in Bozeman's seven years as coach, but came up short of their third title.
The loss was the first in nine games for Morgan State.
The game was close throughout the second half, and an 8-3 run by the Aggies gave them a 51-45 lead with 6:44 to play. Austin Witter, who scored 11, banked in a shot from just inside the 3-point line to start the run and finished it with a free throw, giving the Aggies their biggest lead of the half.
Justin Black's second field goal of the game pulled the Bears within four, but he was fouled and failed to convert the three-point play. When the Bears' Anthony Hubbard was fouled after a turnover by the Aggies, he missed both free throws, part of the Bears' 6-for-14 performance at the line in the half.
Middleton's 17-footer boosted the Aggies' lead back to six before two free throws by Jackson and Hubbard's driving basket pulled Morgan State back to 53-51 with just 3:59 remaining.
Middleton's missed free throw started a string of failed chances for both teams, and when the Aggies' Bruce Beckford broke the scoring drought with an inside basket for a 55-51 lead with 1:43 to go.
Blake Bozeman, son of Morgan State coach, quickly answered with a 3-pointer, his only field goal of the game, to make it a one-point game again, setting up the finish.
Both teams took turns having the upper hand in the first half, with the Aggies getting eight points from Powell in a 15-4 run that gave them a 21-17 lead, and the Bears closing the half on 9-4 burst.

The opinions expressed are the author's own.
Two Chinese dotcom companies have apparently become the latest victims of the growing market concern about China "concept" stocks in the wake a series of accounting scandals.
Online video firm Xunlei Ltd and Chinese e-book firm Cloudary Corp have postponed their U.S. fundraising plans. They both blamed volatile global markets. Volatile markets? Really? Aren't the markets always volatile?
More or less, to some extent. We still see other companies lining up to list in the U.S. although the near-term outlook for China IPOs to land in the U.S. market doesn't look too bright. In return, such concerns — warranted or not — are growing about Chinese companies listing in Hong Kong and Singapore.
There were some early signs about Xunlei's difficulties to go public. It failed to win direct investment from News Corp. And some analysts say Xunlei could face challenges from some Hollywood movie makers over copyright issues.
For Cloudary, it's a different story. The company changed its name from Shanda Literature before the IPO plan, as the firm seeks to brand itself as an e-book maker and seller — trying to convince U.S. investors it could become "China's Kindle maker". In the end, the rebranding campaign didn't make headway.

Doland Fans Surprise Their Hometown Hero
Fans from Doland, S.D., were waiting for their hometown hero Saturday night.
By Randy York
On Saturday afternoon, Tim Miles was walking down the steps at the Hendricks Training Complex when he "saw this line of dozens of people … all in grey shirts … and then I looked at one of those shirts and it said Doland on it," Miles said. "I got chills. Honest to God, I got chills, and I get chills again just talking about it. I had no idea they were coming."
"They" were 56 Doland residents stepping inside a bus and heading to Lincoln, where they would surprise, even stun, their hometown hero. "What was funny is I was sitting with my dad in the hospital, and he was telling me how Doland was bringing a bus down to Lincoln for our last home game (March 6 against Minnesota)," Miles said. "They were calling it a field trip, so they could bring as many kids as possible to visit the campus and see what Nebraska is all about."
That trip is still planned, but another one preceded it because nearly a third of Doland's 180 residents didn't want to wait. So they chartered a bus to see Miles' team take the floor as a favorite to beat Penn State a second time before the Huskers take on 1 Indiana on the road Wednesday night and then host No. 8 Michigan State Saturday night.
"It was great, just great," Miles said. "I knew everybody because I coached their children – their boys in Little League baseball and their girls in softball."
This Fan Remembers Learning How to Spit
Angelia Hiles, 32, will never forget playing softball for Miles as a fifth-grader. "He was a very good coach. He could motivate anyone," she said. "He had to teach everything because we didn't know anything. I still remember him teaching all of us how to spit."
Miles laughs when we ask him about the experience. "I taught the girls how to spit correctly and rated them individually," he recalled. "That way, we could be productive while we were waiting for their moms to pick 'em up after practice."
Hiles verifies the rating system. "We all thought it was a very cool thing to learn," she said. "How can you not love Tim Miles? He has charisma, and he's always smiling. We all got on that bus Saturday morning and came home in the snow Sunday morning because he has personality-plus. I'm a team-jumper and a coach-jumper. Wherever Tim goes, I go because he's so down-to-earth. For all of us who came to Lincoln, he's still a small-town boy and our hometown hero because whatever he accomplishes never goes to his head."
Prep Coach Praises Miles' Aggressiveness
We ask two more bus-riding fans for their take on a fellow Doland native in his first year as Nebraska's head coach.
"I coached Tim when he was a senior in high school," said Larry Rahm, a Doland-area farmer who served as an assistant to fulfill an internship. "Tim was one of the most aggressive basketball players I've ever seen. He's very intelligent, very smart. Everything he's done, he's done well. And he'll do good things at Nebraska, too."
The best thing about Miles "is his smile and his personality," Raum said. "If you're around him, you're going to like him. I've been to a couple of football games in Lincoln, but this was my first basketball game. We loved every minute of it. We're excited to see a small-town kid make it big. I can't imagine anything much harder than being a head basketball coach in the Big Ten, but he can do it."
Tough challenges require inspired leaders. "I predict Nebraska will make the NCAA Tournament in the next three or four years," Rahm said, "and I predict that they will win a game or two in that tournament. I can even see Tim getting Nebraska somewhere in the Final Top 25 rankings. If anyone can take Nebraska to the promised land, Tim can."
Local Store Manager: Miles Smiles 24/7
Count Lori Remily, the manager of Doland's local convenience store, among Miles' most inspired followers. "Tim has a smile on his face 24/7," she said. "He was a great kid, really laid-back, but would do anything for you. He likes to get things done the way he wants them done, and he appreciates everyone who supports him – from the top to the bottom."
Saturday was Remily's first trip in Lincoln. "It was great!" she said. "I mean, we support our hometown hero. They didn't know we were coming, but they still put us up there on that big TV screen for everyone to see. We were all glad they did that because we're proud of Tim. He's always been a great coach, and he's always been a great recruiter. And he's doing well and will continue to do a great job at Nebraska."
The bus that left Doland at 8 a.m. Saturday re-boarded Sunday at 6 a.m. and headed back to South Dakota. Inclement weather on the way back reduced driving speed to 40 miles-per-hour from Sioux Falls on home, making the ride about 2½ hours longer than normal.
This Fan Sees ESPN in Tim Miles' Future
A few extra hours left the Tim Miles Fan Club undeterred. "I've never seen any Division I game before, let alone one in Lincoln," Hiles said. "It was great. It was a good show. It was amazing. I think Tim's found his dream destination, and I think he's going to do amazing things for the Huskers. He'll do the best he can to get everything out of that program that's possible … ever."
Ever is a long time, so I ask Hiles, an operations administrator, if her hometown hero would ever leave Lincoln.
"I think someday we'll all see a little more of Tim than we see now," she said. "Someday he'll retire from coaching, and when he does, I think we'll be watching him or listening to him on ESPN. Wouldn't he be great doing something like that?"
Miles indeed would fit the profile of an entertaining psychoanalyst for basketball – at any level. But let's watch this motivation machine and his tight-knit staff as they create some memories of their own before putting their leader in a studio to discuss someone else's.

Voices from Husker Nation
We coordinated the trip from Doland to Lincoln early last November. After talking about it, we finally decided we were going to do it, so we booked a bus, 25 hotel rooms, 56 game tickets and ordered some matching T-shirts. We had a phenomenal response thank the staff at Nebraska for keeping our trip a secret from Tim the entire time! There was a definite buzz around the town in the days before we left, and it was touch-and-go on our way home. In fact, when we arrived in Doland, the bus was plowing so much snow, it had to be pulled out to the highway by a maintainer. Doland may be small, but we make up for it with huge heart and a passion for our community. When I graduated from Doland High School two years ago, there were only seven kids in my class – six boys and one girl, a foreign exchange student from Sweden. I'm a sophomore at South Dakota State University, but will always keep my ties to Doland. I always come back because of the people. Hubert H. Humphrey, former Vice President of the United States and a Doland High School graduate (Class of 1929), told people all over America that Doland represented the best that was in America because the best that is in America is in its people. He made that statement 40 years ago, and that legacy continues on today. We stand fully behind our alumni and our community, and wherever Coach Tim Miles is, that's "our" team. We're thrilled he's closer to us now and look forward to seeing what he can do and will do with the Huskers men's basketball team. Scott DesLauriers, Brookings, South Dakota
Thanks for all the support we received from the Nebraska Cornhuskers family! The weekend really reminded us of our hometown of Doland. Tim is not only a great coach, but a great man that comes from a wonderful family. Win or lose, those that play for him, will be better men after playing for Tim. He is the most down-to-earth guy I know. He's still the small town guy I knew when I was growing up, and yes, he was one of my first softball coaches. I know fame and success will not change who he is! I am honored to know Tim. He couldn't make Doland any prouder than we are. My family has followed Tim throughout his coaching career. I remember going to camps at Southwest State in Marshall (Minnesota), one of his first coaching stops. Good luck to Tim and the Huskers! We'll be rooting you on in South Dakota, and always remember that you can do anything you set your mind to do! Danneil Musser (RN), Sioux Falls, South Dakota
The whole trip was amazing, especially the look on Coach Miles' face when he saw us. Priceless!!! Coach Miles is so enthusiastic, it's contagious. A person cannot be around him and not feel the energy. Right now that's what the Cornhuskers are feeling – that good things are about to happen for Nebraska basketball. Nothing is out of reach for that team. As we sat In the stands all we heard around us were fans telling us how excited they were to have Coach Miles as head coach. I'm already looking forward to our next trip to Cornhusker Country. The only thing I missed over the weekend was seeing Tip Miles (Tim's dad) sitting behind Tim in the stands. Hope he's feeling better soon. Sherry Board, Dolandite and family friend
Our Doland school slogan is: "We may be small, but we do big things." We're proud of our community and our graduates – Hubert H. Humprhey, Governor Harvey Wallman, Olympic medalist Dennis Koslowski and and many others, including a young man who will lead the Huskers to success. Tim Miles is our latest hero and Nebraska gains some new Big Red fans with him. Randy Mason, Doland, South Dakota
We really enjoyed the trip to Lincoln and a tour of the facility. It was great to spend time with Tim and to see him coach. So many people stopped and talked to us at the game. It was nice that people were so interested in our visit and support of Tim. We felt the energy. Darla Knox, Doland, South Dakota

Problems with the toxic residue of a mold that attacked the 2012 drought-hit U.S. corn crop may worsen this summer and autumn as Midwest farmers blend off tainted supplies held in storage, grain experts say.
The substance, aflatoxin, is a chronic problem in dry, hot southern states like Texas where stressed crops are vulnerable to the mold. But in 2012, the worst U.S. drought in more than half a century extended the aflatoxin threat moved northward into the heart of the Midwest, resulting in the biggest outbreak since the 1980s.
"As we get into summer, you are going to see the worst of it," said Doug Bartlett, co-owner of Midwest Farm Services, an advisory service in Higginsville, Missouri. "We have tight corn supplies and when we get down to the nitty gritty, there is going to be a lot of the aflatoxin left over, and it will have to be blended off into the new crop," he said.
Aflatoxin can sicken humans and animals if ingested and is carcinogenic. So corn users - from pet food and livestock feed makers to vegoil and sweetener producers - test for it, and reject tainted supplies.
Ethanol makers, which consume 40 percent of U.S. corn output, can be even more picky because the aflatoxins concentrate during the distilling process, contaminating dried distillers' grains, a valuable ethanol byproduct sold for feed.
Months after the harvest, aflatoxin continues to cause headaches along the corn supply chain.
"From eastern Kansas across northern Missouri and up into central and southern Illinois - there is an area there that has significant aflatoxin issues," said Charles Hurburgh, an agricultural engineering professor at Iowa State University who specializes in grain quality.
Most of the contaminated corn is now being blended into feed for hogs and beef cattle, large animals that can tolerate low levels of aflatoxin.
Under guidelines from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, certain types of feed can contain an aflatoxin concentration of up to 300 parts per billion. Human foods must contain less than 20 ppb, while the threshold for milk is even lower, at 0.5 ppb.
For the export market, outbound U.S. corn must also test at less than 20 ppb.
Cows that eat tainted corn can pass on aflatoxin through their milk. Dairy processors in the St. Louis area have had to dump loads of milk found to contain elevated levels of aflatoxin, said Max Hawkins, a nutritionist with Alltech, a Kentucky-based feed supplement company.

President Barroso on trade:
"Trade is an essential lever in our strategy to boost growth and jobs in the EU… In the future, 90% of world-wide growth is expected to be generated outside Europe. Grasping the opportunities offered by these external sources of growth will be critical for the future dynamism and sustainability of our economy… We are also well-placed to tap into the vast potential for future global growth."
EU trade policy sets the direction for trade and investment in and out of the EU.
The Directorate-General for Trade in the European Commission helps to develop and implement EU trade and investment policy. Along with the EU's Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht, we aim to shape a trade and investment environment that is good for people and for business.
The overall direction for an EU trade policy that helps revitalise Europe's economy is set out in the Communication "Trade, Growth & World Affairs". The EU aims to play a key role in keeping markets open worldwide and helping Europe to exit from the economic crisis.
EU trade policy is working to:
1. Create a global system for fair and open trade
The World Trade Organisation has helped shape a system of global trade rules that keeps the global economy open for trade as well as reflects and respect the needs and concerns of developing countries.
The network of agreements and obligations overseen by the World Trade Organisation, helps ensure that trade is open, predictable and fair.
EU trade policy works to maintain the global trading system and to ensure it adapts to a fast-changing world.
2. Open up markets with key partner countries
We seek to create growth and jobs for Europeans by increasing their opportunities to trade with the world. This is particularly important in the context of current economic conditions.
One way of opening markets is to negotiate better access and conditions for trade and investment through free trade agreements.
The EU has concluded a number of Free Trade Agreements and is continuing negotiations with others
3. Make sure others play by the rules
EU trade policy aims to open new markets for European exporters, workers and investors through lifting barriers to the markets of our trading partners. We work closely with countries outside Europe to:
- remove persistent problems for exporters
- increase the opportunities for EU businesses to get equal access to procurement markets outside the EU
- reduce counterfeiting and piracy of European goods
- open up new opportunities for European investment
Because international trade rules are designed to ensure that trade is fair, it is vital that they are respected. We represent and defend European interests in the court system of the World Trade Organisation, helping ensure that WTO obligations are met.
We are also responsible for making sure that the imports that enter the EU are traded at fair prices and that they do not cause unfair damage to European companies and their workers.
4. Ensure trade is a force for sustainable development
We are committed to actively helping people around the world trade their way out of poverty. Europe has opened its markets to all imports from the world's poorest countries, and works actively to help developing countries build the capacity to take advantage of trade.
We also use our trade policy to reinforce other important international goals:
- supporting the fight to protect our environment and reverse global warming;
- striving to improve working conditions for workers in developing countries; and
- ensuring the highest standards of health and safety for the products we buy and sell.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JBL GTO-504EZ by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Efficient power for your music always set correctly JBL's compact GTO-504EZ 4-channel amp will drive each of your front and rear speakers with 50 watts RMS, bringing exciting, visceral impact to the music in your car. Or, bridged in 2-channel mode, it can run a couple of subs with up to 150 watts each. This amp looks very cool with its "old-school" styling, and JBL includes a few innovations that really separate this amp from the others. Simple Setup System for setting amp gain One of the biggest problems with installing an amplifier is setting the gain properly. JBL has come up with a fool-proof method for getting it right, ensuring full-power performance and distortion-free play. Using test tones on the included setup CD, you adjust the gain knob until the yellow light or the red light goes off, and the green "Gain OK" light comes on it's that simple. You'll never have to worry again about your amp "clipping" the signal, and possibly damaging your speakers or subs. Plays well with factory radios This GTO amp comes with screw-on bare wire-to-RCA adapters that let you hook up the amp, using your car's factory speaker wiring to supply the input signal. In some vehicles, the factory radio shuts down when you try to tap into the speaker wires, displaying a "no speakers are present" message. This amp features a special circuit that fools those factory radios by simulating a speaker load. The onboard crossovers and bass boost let you fine tune the system to perfection, and the large recessed knobs mean you don't need a tiny screwdriver to make your adjustments.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features Multi-Channel Design: The JBL GTO-504EZ is a 4-channel amplifier, basically two independent 2-channel amplifiers built into one chassis. Either half can be bridged so it can be used as a 4-channel, 3-channel, or 2-channel amplifier. The amplifier is stable to 2-ohms in stereo, and 4-ohms when bridged. CEA 2006 Compliant: The power ratings are measured according to the Consumer Electronics Association CEA-2006 standards. These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. The power output is measured from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, using a 14.4 volt power supply, and with no more than 1% THD+N: 4-Channel (4-ohm): 50 watts x 4-channels into 4-ohms 4-Channel (2-ohm): 75 watts x 4-channels into 2-ohms (2-ohms minimum) 2-Channel (Bridged): 150 watts x 2-channels into 4-ohms (4-ohms minimum) Setup Disc: The included setup CD is used to optimize the input gain. A test tone is output from the disc and the Gain LEDs on the amp (green, yellow, red) guide you through adjusting the gain controls. Note: The instructions in the first version of the manual indicate the radio should be at full volume when playing the setup disc; this is wrong and JBL is in the process of correcting the manual. The volume should actually be as high as possible without distorting the signal; this will be different for every radio, but approximately 3/4 volume is typical. Auto Turn-on: The GTO-504EZ has a signal sensing automatic turn-on circuit; it will turn on whenever an audio signal is present at any of the RCA inputs. The amplifier will automatically turn off approximately five minutes after the input signal ceases. If you prefer to use the radio's remote lead, the auto turn-on feature can be turned off. Crossovers: There are independent crossovers for the front and rear channels built-in. Each crossover can be set to high-pass, low-pass, or full range (bypassed). The crossover points are continuously variable from 40 Hz to 220 Hz and adjusted independently. The slope of both crossovers is 12 dB/octave. Audio Input: If your radio has no line-level outputs, use the included adapters to convert the speaker wires to RCA and plug them into the amplifier's inputs. The input level switch has a Hi2 position, used to present a speaker load to factory radios equipped with a circuit that turns the radio off when an amp is connected. Line Level Output: The amplifier has a pair of RCA line level outputs to feed a full-range stereo signal to another amplifier. The GTO-504EZ's crossovers have no effect on the line output signal. Routing Switch: The signal for the front and rear amplifier channels can be supplied from the separate front and rear inputs (two pair of stereo RCAs), or from just the front channel inputs (stereo RCAs). Set the switch to F&R (front and rear) or F (front). Bass Boost: A bass boost circuit, centered at 45 Hz, can be applied to the rear channels. The boost is variable from zero to +12 dB. JBL recommends only using bass boost when the rear channels are bridged to power a subwoofer. Controls Top: Front channels: Crossover selector: three position switch; high-pass, full range, low-pass Crossover Frequency: rotary knob; continuously variable from 40 Hz to 220 Hz Input Gain: rotary knob (the gain LEDs are above the knob) Rear channels: Crossover selector: three position switch; high-pass, full range, low-pass Crossover Frequency: rotary knob; continuously variable from 40 Hz to 220 Hz Input Gain: rotary knob (the gain LEDs are above the knob) Bass Boost: rotary knob; continuously variable from 0 to +12 dB; boost centered at 45 Hz Right Side: Input Level: three position switch; Low, Hi1, or Hi2 (used only with factory radios having a circuit that turns the radio off when it sees no speaker load) Routing Switch: F (front)/F&R (front and rear) Gain LEDs: on/off Bottom: Auto Turn-on: on/off Connections Left Side: Power and Ground Terminals: set screw terminals; accept up to 4 gauge bare wire Note: JBL recommends the power and ground cables be 10 gauge minimum. The recommended accessory list for the GTO-504EZ includes wiring kits with 10 gauge wire and either a 25 or 30 amp fuse, but the amp has two 20 amp fuses (40 amps total), so if one of these kits is used a replacement fuse must also be added (at least 40 amps). If an 8 gauge wiring kit is used no additional fuse is necessary. Remote Turn-on Terminal: set screw terminal; accepts up to 8 gauge bare wire Speaker terminal: four pair of set screw terminals (for front left, front right, rear left, and rear right); accept up to 8 gauge bare wire Fuses: two ports for 20-amp ATO fuses (fuses are factory installed) Right Side: Audio Input: four female RCA jacks (front left, front right, rear left, and rear right); compatible with speaker level signals using the included adapters Audio Output: two female RCA jacks (left and right) Review this product Submit a review and then enter to win a $500 rewards card JBL GTO-504EZ Reviews Average Customer Review: 5 people say: Review this product: Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences about this product.

Paired with OEM head unit, pair of JBL GTO 638 in sound bar, JBL GTO 608C components in the front & Sound Ordnance B-8PTD Powered 8" Subwoofer. System has incredible sound. Since I usually drive this Jeep on short trips & recently went on a 5 hour road trip when the amp went in to safe mode 30 minutes into the trip. Thinking that it was just overheated, I turned it off for about 30 minutes & tried it again. Well that got me about 45 seconds of music. 4.5 hours of no radio in a new jeep, with a new system. I have since checked out the install, with no issues. Called JBL and now have to send it back, on my dime, & wait until they send me a new one. I like the amp, when it works. Hopefully my new amp will arrive before winter. I called Crutchfield Tech Support and the tech was very professional and suggested a warranty replacement. The install was pretty straight forward. The speaker wire to RCA connectors are poorly designed like other reviews have noted. It helps if you can solder the speaker wire prior to using the adapters. Using the line out for the powered sub, I did have trouble with loosing the sub when fading from front to rear, (no bass) when all on front or all on rear. Tech could not figure that one out & I chalked it up as OEM head unit issues. As soon as my year of satellite radio is up, I'm getting a new head unit. Pros: High/low input capable, great sound, low profile, cross over gain adjustments with CD, ability to turn off peak LEDs. Cons: Safe Mode! Over sensitive. Heats up fast, and then shuts off. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great Amp, Well designed Written By Stubb, San Diego, CA on Friday, January 31, 2014 I think this is a really great piece of equipment. The size is compact and it is built solid. Connections are easy to make. Even though there are only RCA connectors on the side, the amp takes both Hi and Low level inputs and includes bare-wire to RCA adapters. There are two versions of the hi input, one that provides resistance for OEM systems that will shutoff with no speaker detected. It also has a wide range of input sensitivity, from 0.9 to 15V. I hooked it up both at speaker level after my stock amp and with a LOC that bypassed my OEM amp. Sound quality was much better bypassing the factory amp, but is was pretty good both ways so I would try it first before buying a converter. I didn't realize how much my OEM amp was probably clipping or distorting until I heard the clarity and detail from this. Amps make a difference so choose wisely. For setting crossovers, I used an RTA to set and check my setup and the markings were right on. Much better than others that only show the high and low, this amp has markings across the range so you can adjust with confidence. The layout makes it easy to set up and adjust as needed. The included CD is useful for setting the gains, but I must admit, it left the volume so high that I had to switch from Low to Hi (my inputs are 5V) to adjust so that I had a useable minimum volume. But then I needed only small adjustments for balance. I am using this in combination with the GTO3EZ for 6 speakers and a sub. Pros: Great layout for adjustments Accurate and useful crossover markings Compact size and design Flexible Configuration Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Nothing EZ About This Amp Written By David, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 I can't say that I would describe this amp as easy to install, unless you are using it with RCA inputs and a remote turn-on wire. First, the adapters for using speaker-level inputs are extremely tedious to attach to the speaker wire. If you strip 1/16" too much then the wire sticks out far enough that it could touch the other wire. 1/16" too little and the screw won't have a good hold on the wire. And the screws are INCREDIBLY easy to strip, even using the correct size detail Philips head screwdriver (not included). Second, the turn-on delay is surprisingly long. I have two pairs of speakers attached to the factory radio's leads, and they begin playing at least three seconds before the amplified woofers. When added to the factory stereo's initial signal delay, it takes over ten seconds before music plays when the car is turned on. That might not sound like too long on paper, but feels like an eternity when you experience it, and makes an otherwise quality stereo upgrade feel very cheap and aftermarket. Third, there is an RCA output for sending a combined signal that does not decrease when the source is faded to the front or back, but this is a LINE-LEVEL output (not a passthrough of speaker-level inputs), so it will not trigger another amp's auto-sensing power on feature. Even worse, the remote lead also does not ouput a signal to turn on a second amp by remote wire as other amps do, so there is absolutely nothing easy about using this amp with a powered sub Pros: Compact size, good power Cons: Auto-on delay, quality of RCA adapters, lack of switched remote lead or speaker-level output. 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing Written By Michael, Missoula, MT on Friday, December 14, 2012 I Bought this amp almost a year ago, and scene then had no problems or complaints with it. This amp has a bunch of clear punchy power. I had the amp hooked up to some Walmart Pioneer TS-G1643R 61/2"s in the front door but since then have upgraded to Sound Ordnance P-65C Component speakers, the rears are some Walmart Scosche 6x9 speakers that are in Sound Ordinance's Bass Bunker Boxes. The amp's power still continues to amaze me after all this time. As for the design of the amp, the install was easy, i did notice a delay when turning on, (remote wire) which causes the Sub (S.O. B-8P) to make a pop but it is not something to serious. you will want a good quality receiver (not stock) and preferably with a 7band EQ to really get the best sound out of the amp. Pros: Easy install, looks good, hides wire connections nicely, Amazing power output, Great clear quality sound, Simple gain setup and well built internal cross overs. Cons: -The EZ gain adjuster system is not perfected because it does not check if the deck is distorting, which makes it somewhat usless unless you only turn it up 3/4 volume as suggested by JBL. -Remote turn (via Remote wire) on is delayed 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great amp Written By Jay, Florida on Thursday, March 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This amp sounds great, clean and clear. easy hook up, simple set-up with screw-in hold connectors, compared to the other screw in connectors where u can loose the screws, good quality build. Great Idea for the uses of the knob design to tweak the sound, instead of the old school design where you need a mini flat head screw-driver . I would of gave this amp 5 stars but the automatic turn on by way of RCA had a delay and the amp would turn off if the music is to low which got annoying, but there is a setting to change the sensitivity, but I didnt bother so I hooked up the Lead wire(turn on). O yea and Great price $$$ worth every Dollar Pros: clear and clean sound, simple to hook-up connectors.

Salina Journal
Now that reality has set in, Kansas State's biggest challenge is to keep it real.
While Saturday's stunning 52-24 loss at Baylor exposed some weaknesses and almost certainly took a national championship off the table, the Wildcats still have much to play for -- namely a Big 12 title and BCS bowl invitation.
And in case they need a reminder, this is the same team that reeled off 10 straight victories before the crash.
"You don't get away from what you've done throughout the course of the season," Bill Snyder said Monday during the weekly Big 12 coaches' teleconference. "I think consistency needs to be a staple, and it has been up to this point in time.
"We can't all of a sudden decide that we're the worst team in the world and alter everything. We just have to stay the course and keep rowing the boat, as we say so often, and put greater emphasis on being able to correct the mistakes."
That can be difficult to do in one week, but the Wildcats have some extra time to sort things out with an open date Saturday before completing their regular season at home on Dec. 1 against Texas. The process remains the same regardless.
"You have to learn how to deal with the emotions that come with this -- a tremendous amount of disappointment, and eventually that turns into anger and frustration," Snyder said. "Maybe the frustration comes first and then the anger.
"Then it's a matter of being able to, each of us individually, look at the things that we can do better and need to get corrected and accept the responsibility to do so, players and coaches alike."
While Snyder saw no obvious danger signs that the mounting pressures of an undefeated season were weighing heavily on his team, it was clear to him that something was amiss when the Wildcats took the field.
"All you have to do is watch the ballgame," he said. "We didn't play as well, we didn't coach as well as was necessary in order to have success.
"I think number one, we probably weren't as well prepared as we needed to be. Secondly, I think Baylor played extremely well both offensively and defensively."
The Bears were able to build an early lead, which allowed the defense to aggressively go after quarterback Collin Klein in the K-State passing game. Defensive coordinator Phil Bennett, who held a similar position at K-State more than 10 years ago, seemingly pushed all the right buttons against his old friend Snyder.
"It wasn't a surprise to me at all, and I've shared that with everybody in this building all of last week," Snyder said. "If you look at them incrementally throughout the course of the season, they had a lot of injuries at the outset of the season, so new guys stepped in to fill those spots, and over a period of time they got better and better and better.
"Phil is a tremendously talented individual, football coach and coordinator. You would never take Phil for granted in any of his defenses."
Baylor coach Art Briles, whose Bears improved to 5-5 and still need a victory against Texas Tech this week or Oklahoma State the next to be bowl eligible, said he has seen his whole team progress in recent weeks.
"I think in general we just feel like we're playing better as a football team right now than we were a month ago," he said. "We just feel like we're kind of settling down and figuring out how to get it done and who to get it done with.
"I think that just all coincides with the defensive game the other night. They did an outstanding job at a very opportune time."
Whether it's an opportune time to have a bye week before the finale remains to be seen. The Wildcats will have a chance enjoy Thanksgiving with their families and perhaps lick their wounds, though Snyder said there is no room for self-pity.
"Feeling sorry for yourself is not an option, and who knows about open dates," he said. "The positive thing is it does give you a chance to give your youngsters an opportunity to have some time off and be away from it.
"When you get into over three and a half months of daily and continual work, a break is welcome. Hopefully, they will appreciate that and take advantage of it, but on the other side of the coin, that's two weeks having to live with the loss in Waco."
