We disregard stereotypes, clichés and assumptions used for marketing to Hispanics, and instead strive to be an accurate, contemporary reflection of the evolving U.S. Hispanic landscape. This includes understanding nuances among Latinos, acting on important new trends, recognizing alignment with the general market and leveraging human truths. We are not afraid to tilt our heads and change our perspectives to challenge what can be done to better connect with our audience.
There are 50,477,594 Hispanics in the U.S.
That is more than double the 1990 U.S. Census number of 22.4 million.
Hispanics accounted for 56% of the nation's growth between 2000 and 2010.
By 2050, 30 out of every 100 people will be Hispanic.

Latinos' heritage can include a variety of ancestries, ethnic groups and races. Latin America, comprised of 21 countries, is one of the most diverse areas in the world. When these diverse cultures mix and blend in the U.S. with mainstream culture (which itself is very multicultural), it makes the Latino population very nuanced and textured. This makes it imperative to understand granular details while leveraging attitudinal commonalities.
Study alone won't connect you to the U.S. Hispanic audience; you need to be immersed in it. With offices in Dallas and Mexico City, and people from all parts of Latin America, Richards/Lerma is a good reflection of the nuanced Hispanic market. We're a mixed and colorful group, and we leverage insights from our assorted backgrounds to reach this eclectic audience.
Digital media allows Hispanics to connect with family, be social and shape the world around them. Our expertise in digital means that our clients can be more digital and more relevant to Hispanics at the same time.
Richards/Lerma was founded by a leader in the digital space. This is fitting, given Hispanics' rapid adoption rates of advanced technology:
• 43% of Hispanics own a smartphone vs. 36% of non-Hispanics
• Over 67% of Hispanics are online users (34.9M)
• Hispanics spend more time on social networking sites vs. non-Hispanics
Source: eMarketer Hispanic Profile 2011
Our affiliation with The Richards Group promotes cross-pollination of strategic and creative ideas for both the general market and the Hispanic and multicultural segments. Through partnership, we pioneered the Total Market Approach, in which a brand strategy and creative are developed in harmony with our clients' general market agencies to help preserve and promote a consistent brand voice.
Richards/Lerma is comprised of some of advertising's most talented individuals, with experience spanning both Hispanic and general market and including a broad range of categories and brands.
Prior to launching Richards/Lerma, Pete led Click Here, a very successful digital agency that has done innovative work for brands like Amstel Light, Chick-fil-A, Casio, Patrón and Travelocity. Pete is the quintessential digital native. However, being a second-generation Mexican-American, Pete has also kept a pulse on his native culture, and he's intent on raising the bar in Hispanic marketing as well.
Having spent the last 14 years in one of the best agencies in America, Pete is now taking the approaches he's learned and applying them to Richards/Lerma. His vision is to create a more relevant connection between brands and their Hispanic consumers. In that capacity, Pete leads a team of seasoned Hispanic marketing experts that makes up Richards/Lerma. In a relatively short period of time, the team has done remarkable work for clients such as Advance Auto Parts, MetroPCS, The Home Depot and Ram Trucks.
Don't be fooled. While Aldo may appear to be a pretty laid-back guy, behind the smile and glasses is a creative drive and intensity that he unleashes on every account he leads. He holds titles (ADCOLOR Legend Award, three-time Creative Director of the Year, chairman of the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies) and awards (the first Mexican to win a Cannes Lion, the Grand Award at the New York Festivals and an induction into the AAF's Hall of Achievement®) that most creatives dream of.
Despite these accolades, he keeps pushing the thinking forward, as he still feels that his best ideas are the ones he's working on right now – or has yet to create. Most of this can be attributed to his upbringing in Cuernavaca, Mexico, the "City of Eternal Spring" – eternal being the key word. He brings to Richards/Lerma his passion for unearthing unique insights, as well as an endless quest for great ideas. And his shiny awards, because he gets to keep those.
Melissa is the quintessential bicultural. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, she has held onto her family's Mexican roots while functioning seamlessly within the U.S. culture. She applies this cultural experience to her professional life as well, pulling in her Hispanic marketplace expertise to help lead the strategic direction of the agency as agency operations director at Richards/Lerma.
With more than 18 years of experience in Hispanic marketing, Melissa has managed such brands as Coca-Cola, Western Union, Burger King, the U.S. Army, McNeil Pharmaceuticals, The J.M. Smucker Co., Diageo and MetroPCS. Recently, she spearheaded the agency's brand management department, specifically leading The Home Depot, Ram Trucks and Advance Auto Parts businesses, brands that have had success among traditional and bicultural consumers. In her new role, Melissa will head up new business and drive agency growth by expanding agency product offerings, securing top-notch talent and focusing on the strategic operations at Richards/Lerma.
With her extensive experience and A Todo, Con Todo attitude, she's helping clients and the agency pave the way to the next generation of Hispanic marketing.
Nancy is a true aficionado of all things cultural. She was born and raised on the U.S./Mexico border, tutored Japanese students as an undergrad college student, studied abroad in London and married a guy from the Czech Republic. Understanding and celebrating people's uniqueness are the most important (and most enjoyable) parts of her job. This skill has helped Nancy lead the insight and branding development for Ram Trucks, The Home Depot, MetroPCS and Advance Auto Parts, to name a few.
Across accounts, Nancy's greatest successes have occurred when she has worn her curiosity hat, navigating different brand challenges and taken the road less traveled. Before helping launch Richards/Lerma, Nancy led the charge for discovering unique cultural insights for Coors Light, Payless Shoe Source, Procter & Gamble and Scholastic Books. She looks forward to continuing her cultural explorations for existing and future clients.
Some people are born creative. Some people are natural planners. Luis Miguel is one of the few who can check both boxes. After graduating from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City, Luis Miguel jumped right into advertising, working in Mexico as a copywriter at DDB, Grey and Ogilvy/141, the latter of which he co-managed. Nine years ago, he came to the U.S. to work as a strategic planner, a job that gave him great knowledge and insight into the market – in that role, he created award-winning strategies. He was an outstanding planner but an even better creative – after 18 months, he moved back to his native creative role, where his true passion resides.
Whether as a creative planner or strategic creative, Luis Miguel's goal has always been to raise the bar on Hispanic marketing. His vision is to help clients' brands connect more successfully with the Hispanic consumer. As a creative director at Richards/Lerma, he has helped to guide the creative development for The Home Depot, Ram Trucks, MetroPCS and FRAM.
You could say that Alex Campo's role at Richards/Lerma is the chapter in his career that has been waiting to be written. The story began with Alex as a copywriter at Leo Burnett in his native Guatemala. He then worked for several other agencies before running his own small creative shop for a few years. Some subplots later, Alex received a job offer from a Dallas advertising agency. He quickly relocated and started working for the U.S. Hispanic market, with a leading role on teams for Lowe's Home Improvement, MetroPCS, Mercedes-Benz, the Texas Lottery Commission and a few others.
As anyone who has met him will tell you, Alex is a complex character and solid strategic thinker who has played the roles of copywriter and art director for more than 18 years. Now at Richards/Lerma, Alex leverages his experience to lead his creative team in developing new and innovative campaign ideas for The Home Depot, Ram Trucks and the United Way.
When it comes to agency experience, you could say that Esmeralda has completed a successful Texas tour. In her 10-plus years in Hispanic advertising, she has worked at some of the most renowned shops in Texas. Esmeralda began her Hispanic advertising career at Bromley Communications in San Antonio, where she worked on the agency's largest accounts: Western Union and Burger King.
After several years in San Antonio, Esmeralda moved to Dallas for more experience working on other brands, such as Corona and Nissan – though she is fully aware that drinking-and-driving is not OK. She later moved to Austin for several years and gained more experience working on the top grocer in Texas, H-E-B. Now back in Dallas, Esmeralda continues to handle media planning and negotiating duties for H-E-B as well as support for new client initiatives for Richards/Lerma. Her ability to navigate the Hispanic market in Texas, and beyond, has been invaluable to Richards/Lerma.
Liz is an expert diplomat who can artfully manage diverse perspectives. After all, she considers her heart to be Latina and her mind American. Like many second-generation Hispanics, she is passionate about both her American and Latin roots and can flawlessly blend the two. These mediation skills have suited her well as she has been at the forefront of developing multicultural communications, while earning the trust of clients and their multiple agency partners.
Her extensive experience includes automotive, wireless, telecom and retail categories of Fortune 500 brands such as Toyota, Chrysler and Verizon Wireless, to name a few. She has led these accounts at top agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi and Acento in Los Angeles, as well as GlobalHue in Detroit and New York. Now at Richards/Lerma, she will lead the agency's brand management discipline and implement best practices to grow the team and the agency roster. She will leverage her expertise in multiplatform development to help ensure that each brand delivers comprehensive communications – with a clear, unified voice.

Gas rates likely to be stable this fall
April 30, 2009 · Updated 12:28 PM
By Kevin Hanson
The Courier-Herald
With fall just around the corner, natural gas users everywhere might be shuddering at the thought of what rates might do.
In Enumclaw, where gas costs jumped to painful levels in recent years, a bit of calm exists. Ratepayers might not be entirely happy with what they're paying, but, at least, they'll not be hit with increasing costs during the coming cold-weather season.
The Enumclaw City Council acted earlier this year to lock in a guaranteed rate that will keep costs stable until October 2007. Public Works Director Chris Searcy admits looking for some rate consistency didn't guarantee the lowest rates around, "but it locked in a predictable rate, at least."
Of course, in the world of city budgeting, nothing is sacred. As council members work this fall through the process of formulating a 2007 budget, everything is fair game. Searcy doubts anything will happen to bump rates upward, however.
"We don't anticipate rates will change," he said. "We certainly don't envision them going up."
Enumclaw's natural gas customers have been paying, since November, a total of $1.36 per therm. The city pays an average of $1.01 per therm, with the additional charges going toward maintenance of the city system, salaries of utility employees, administration, taxes and other costs.
The world of natural gas is a volatile one, where prices are impacted both by natural events and man-made conflicts. For example, ratepayers need only think back to a year ago, when Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf area. Prices for natural gas - which comes either from the Rocky Mountain region or Canada - typically follow suit. Last year, prices shot through the roof, causing the highest rates in local history.
Pre-Katrina prices hovered at about 89 cents per therm, Searcy said.

Guess what guys?? I've moved! I've been working to rebrand myself over the past few months and I'm finally ready to make the leap. With that said, I will no longer blog here under MOXEE. I've moved to my new place at blog.imbreannarose.com. A few other things have changed as well :
My twitter account is still the same, but the handle has changed from "moxee_" to "imbreannarose." Facebook, on the other hand, doesn't let you switch your name … BIG bummer. So, you can now find me here! And finally, if you follow me on bloglovin – everything will remain the same, but I'll be contacting support to change my name soon.
I'll keep moxee up for a few weeks until I have it redirect to the new location. Don't worry, everything that WAS on moxee is on my new blog, too! See ya on the other side.

You know what's also cool? Seeing the Vampire's Warden get into the top 25 free books on Amazon! That is way beyond awesome. In 24 hours, over 2500 people downloaded their own copy of the first book in the Undead in Brown County series! Amazon marked Warden as free on 9/18/11 at 7 p.m. CST. As of right now, 5853 people have added the Vampire's Warden to their Kindles!!!
So what about the Vampire's Curse? Well, let me tell you! Right now, the Vampire's Curse is #871 on Amazon's Bestseller list! It's also #10 in vampire romance books! Is that fantastic or what?
So I want to send out big thank you hugs to everybody who has downloaded my books. You are the ones who are making my dream come true after thirty years of hoping, daydreaming and doubting. Thank you also to the HP Mallory group on FB. You guys gave me the courage and support I needed when I was first dipping my toe into the strange waters of self publishing. Thank you to Pamela Mason, Bels, Scott Gordon, DeeDee, Elizabeth, my sister Brenda, my husband, my boys, my in laws, my parents, and to everybody who offered me encouragement and support during the last few years when I didn't think I would make it.
I especially want to thank the amazing people at Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Dallas for everything they did to help my son Cameron over the past week. It's been a rough road, but we have a lot of hope for the future!

Some of the most important environmental variables observed through health posts and space observations by NASA include precipitation, vegetation index and temperature. It was determined in a study that vegetation index is the greatest predictor simply due to irrigation methods and areas of sitting water. Surface temperature was found to be the second strongest predicting variable. Finally, precipitation was not a considerable predictor as it does not contribute to an increase in larval population.
Since much of Afghanistan is arid or semi-arid climate, agriculture greatly depends on irrigation. The Anopheles mosquito breeds on all bodies of water so melting of snow during the spring season and rainfall in the summer create opportunities for additional larval habitats to form and increase the number of mosquitos carrying the malaria parasite.
The primary space observation used satellite measured environmental parameters which produced reasonable results and accuracy. The World Health Organization is currently developing the Malaria Control and Elimination Plan which will create an economical surveillance system that acts as an early warning and detection system based on environmental variable measurements.
The most common current method of prevention in Afghanistan is insecticide-treated bed nets. This has slowly been adopted due to massive campaigns, subsidized sales and extensive public awareness of their functional importance. In some regions of the country, approximately 75 percent of citizens have purchased and utilize their bed nets. Two extremes are being used to fight the transmission of malaria in Afghanistan: traditional techniques and advanced technology. Bed nets working in conjunction with advanced satellite measurements for prediction should ensure the safety of the inhabitants of Afghanistan.

Zhang Ziyi Says That She Will Sue Over Prostitution Reports!
You might rember that this morning we reported that Zhang Ziyi might have been a Prostitute well now shes said that its all lies.
According to various reports circulating the web, The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon actress was allegedly paid millions of dollars for anIndecent Proposal-type deal with Chinese politician Bo Xilai and others between 2004-2007!
And now she wants a full apology from the website on which the report originated!
Her rep explains:
"We read this outrageous report in the Apple Daily. It sent stone-cold chills down our spines and has left us with a feeling of deep sadness. Friends have advised us to release a short statement and not take this seriously. The more you argue, the more you will stir up. It would be better to step aside until people lose interest and the lies disappear. The innocent will always be innocent. We just want to help her get rid of this disturbance and seek justice. Then she will be able to shoot her films in peace and quiet and present you, her fans, with more and better films in return."
We are really feeling sorry for her being accused of doing something that she has not done yes sue them Zhang!!
Is Zhang Ziyi A Prostitute!?
Zhang Ziyi has stared in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but now is being investigated in China for allegedly sleeping with a whole bunch of government officials for a whole bunch of money.
And when we say a lot of money we mean loads Millions!!
She has been accused of sleeping with the country's formerMinister of Commerce in exchange for 10 million Yuan ($2 million), but she may have slept with dozens of other powerful men between 2004 and 2007 for a total of 700 million Yuan ($141.7 million).
And it has been said that she is one of the highest paid prostitutes in the world?
We dont know how much the most paid prostitutes in the world gets but it has been said that its in the area of $143.7 million.

Beds Skyward, Innovation Bedroom Layout in Confined Spaces
For the present we must begin to think in a limited space at home or where we live. The longer the area of the room that we will need to accommodate the growing number of interior design. So we have to figure out how to make a comfortable home without consuming a lot of areas. Perhaps the concept of decorating a bedroom like this would be the best option for you. The bed is usually always … Read entire article »

Growing up believing you are an abomination is strange. But, if you are gay and grew up in Kansas (or many other parts of the world) -- like I did -- it's not all that uncommon.
We make 70 important decisions per day and our 'lead organ' makes us who we are.
Empathic men often have a harder time than women because in Western culture sensitivity may be seen as a weakness or too "feminine." This is a huge misconception. The new evolved man is skillful in balancing both the masculine and feminine in himself, embodying his full power.
Perspective is important. We should all keep in mind that our problems could be worse, and that all suffering is relative. This can help us feel less overwhelmed by our own challenges, more grateful for our many blessings, and more compelled to empathize with and help others.
By noticing how difficult it is for you to say something different than "sorry," you'll have taken a small step toward more personal freedom and individual expression.
Taking a compassionate perspective, considering the potential limiting impact of bias in ourselves, seeing individuals instead of group members and identifying areas to strengthen as opposed to prejudge are critical in providing a quality education.
I have been arguing for many years in books like Rethinking Depression that the DSM ought to be repudiated. In recent months this idea has been gaining tremendous momentum and just recently the National Institute of Mental Health essentially repudiated the DSM.
In an effort to get at "the heart" of things, to understand our temporary time here in the Land of Eros, I will tell you about a recent experience I had while on a date in the middle of the afternoon with a man I will never hear from again.
Over the past couple years I have stopped my clinical psychiatric practice after 35 years and have been searching for anything that will lessen the stigma and that will cause those with mental disorders to seek and receive treatment.
Our optimal psychology is one where we're fully engaged in life -- effortless, joyful, and as a result extremely productive. And as our neuroscience advances, we can build tools to help all of us move into this optimal state more and more.
At the heart of Buddhist teachings is a crucial ambiguity that has become increasingly problematic as Buddhism has globalized. This ambivalence needs to be resolved if the Buddhist tradition is to help us address most effectively the challenges that now confront us.
The mental health profession, not content with trying to solve real problems, has over the years proposed solving imaginary ones. The current debate is over the right to even try to cure homosexuality. The adage that there's no harm in trying doesn't hold. There is great harm in trying.
In the era of relocalized food and relocalized everything, what if we help local people do well and develop their talents rather than just rewarding well-marketed folks from far away?
We all have secret pain. We all have brokenness. We all have wounds that do not fully heal despite all the salve we put on them. The truth is that no matter our circumstances in life, there is still heartache and pain.
What we know, is that terrorists often have a sense of being disenfranchised. Hence, they bond with an ideology-driven group, which gives them a feeling of belonging. This experience is not unlike that of joining a gang.
If we had a chronic illness, no doubt we would tell our friends and welcome their support. If we were hospitalized for cancer, we would want our family by our sides to rally for our health. Mental health is no different, and deserves equal treatment.
The simple truth is this: Our self-concept is our destiny. So if we want to change our destiny for the better, we need to change our concept and beliefs about our selves also for the better. We always have the freedom to choose better thoughts.
Temptation is more than just the promise of reward. Recent advances in neuroscience allow us to peer into the brain, providing a greater understanding of what makes us want.
Art can have its own unique resilience and endurance. My mother is now in her sixties, and she is thriving. She has a wonderful husband who ensures she takes her medicine and gets consistent care. They live a very modest, very meaningful life.
What if motherhood puts an even greater distance between an already estranged mother-daughter relationship? What if it makes you feel even less connected to your mother, makes your understanding of her motives and choices during your childhood that much more elusive?

IPTV: Distribution In Home Networks
Click here to download now
Overview: Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is a rapidly maturing technology for the delivery of broadcast TV and other media-rich services over a secure, end-to-end operator managed broadband IP data network. This paper by Intellon discusses home networks as they move to ever-greater sophistication and the technology that makes it possible. It provides an overview of the IPTV system architecture and identifies some near term applications that may be supported by the telecom service providers. In addition, the paper addresses generic requirements for customer home networks to support the IPTV applications.

as a corrupt sob w/faith as cover for drug dealing and general bad shit...
is there a moral and ethical reason to your.. standards? (directed towards the vatican hacks...)
Marc D comments below the article, "If that's how they treat an atheist cop I'd hate to see what happens to an atheist suspect."
Damn good point.
Not completely Dogly, Super-Bugs are a result of a combination of multiple hosts (over population) and poor behavior of hosts and doctors when it comes to use of and dispensing antibiotics or vaccines.
If doctors only dispensed antibiotics when totally necessary and hosts used them properly, likely super-bugs would not have arisen. Same with vaccines, if everybody was vaccinated instead of groups deliberately avoiding vaccination for religious reasons or fear of what false conspiracy theory tabloids reported.
Likely many crippling diseases like TB, polio and measles would not be coming back with a vengeance.
So even religion (god will cure it or vaccines are against god's way) has a role to answer for in creating super-bugs.
McGill University concluded last year after studying a couple of those hospital bugs that the biggest culprit in hospital superbug transmission is high pressure water taps. These commercial oxygenated high pressure taps are installed more and in most commercial buildings. So McGill University is going to work on replacing all their faucets and increasing the ratio of bathrooms to paptients, in order to reduce transmission.
Other superbugs are direct consequences of GMO and synthetic pesticides. There are many causes. But each and every one of the multiple causes is compounded by population density and secondly, not to be forgotten, building insulation. As modern H.sapiens with modern homes, those of us living in colder climes are experiencing an onslaught of diseases which are related to our filthy indoor air conditions. We are animals, we need clean circulating air... but somewhere along the religious pathway of dominion over nature and separation of human from the "evil animals", that was forgotten.
Yes TNT, insulation poses lots of issues, from asbestos fibers on early insulators to trapped debris which harbors bacteria, allergens and mold, all detrimental to human health.
Also many roof insulations techniques trap dust and debris, to become a fire hazard in itself, even though the fiberglass or wool insulation itself is reasonably fire resistant.
Such is one of many hazards humans have created for themselves.
Sadly, I am VERY familiar with super bugs. MRSA in particular. A major reason for these super bacteria is the overuse, as a food additive, in raising factory farmed animals. The conditions in these massive concentration camps is so filthy, the air so rich with ammonia fumes and the stench of feces, and the crowding so extreme, that these animals require constant antibiotics. The drugs also speed growth.
Then, a careless attitude toward cleanliness and hand washing, filthy hospital room walls, the curtains around each bed, and medical instruments, like blood pressure cuffs and stethescopes, all contribute. The hospitals have policies in place to reduce their liabililty in deaths resulting from their active transmission of these bugs. They test entering patients, to prove they already were infected. They NEVER test patients leaving the hospital. Why? Because, that would show they caught the infections while in the hospital.
Oh, I forgot. It is because of our over-population that we raise animals in this unhealthy, unethical way.
Which is why I got irritated when a certain person came around with their high and mighty talk of purpose is to "do good", when the definition of "good" is so entirely subjective. And what is "good" for the few is deleterious for so many.
TNT666 - you are so wonderful. Thanks very much. I agree that good is subjective. In fact there could be a discussion on exactly what the meaning of "good" is. Many thanks for your intelligent responses. Appreciate it.

Once behind the gates, a cast of characters join Charlie and Grandpa Joe on a journey to discover that a kind heart is a far finer possession than a sweet tooth.
Poor Charlie Bucket lives in poverty with his mother and four grandparents. For many years, a mysterious candy-maker, Mr. Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder), produced amazing treats from his factory in town. But the factory closed without notice a few years ago, then magically began making candy again. But without any employees or workers leaving or entering the factory. Mr. Wonka decides to break his silence and launches a world-wide contest. Five golden tickets are hidden in his candy bars. The lucky finders will win an amazing tour of his candy making factory and a life-time supply of chocolate. Four tickets are quickly won by various children around the world. Charlie finds a coin in the street and decides to buy two bars of candy. And of course, in the second bar is the last golden ticket. He persuades his grandpa Joe (Jack Albertson) to climb out of bed for the first time in years and join him on the tour. Charlie meets the other four children and parents and begins an amazing adventure through the magical chocolate factory. One by one, the children become disqualified for displaying terrible qualities - gluttony, greed, stubborness and rudeness. Charlie breaks the rules too by stealing fizzie lifting drink. It makes him and Grandpa Joe float to the ceiling, which has to be washed and sterilized because of their improper activity. Mr. Wonka erupts in a rage when Charlie asks for his prize of chocolate and orders him to leave the factory. Displaying humility and grace, Charlie gives back a sample of a prototype candy (Everlasting Gobstoppers), which becomes the key that opens the door to the factory. Because of that selfless act, Mr. Wonka reveals that Charlie has won the factory and must take over making candy. He invites his whole family to move into the facility and live happily ever after.

Home Runs Lift A's Past Mariners
Just when we all thought the A's were never going to win another game this season, they prove us wrong, defeating the Mariners by a final scored of 4-3. With this win, the A's are now back at .500 and they avoided falling into third place.
The A's scored three of their four runs on solo home runs; the first by Josh Donaldson in the second inning, the second by Daric Barton in the fourth and the third by Brandon Moss in the sixth. The A's also scored in the fifth inning when Seth Smith doubled and Jed Lowrie singled him in.
The offense was a bit deceiving today because of the three home runs, as they scored four runs on on eight hits and two walks, with Lowrie being responsible for three of those hits, going 3-4 today. Josh Donaldson was the only other player to have a multi-hit day, going 2-4, which included his fifth home run of the season.
Jarrod Parker had a decent game, going 6.1 innings while only allowing three hits, three runs, striking out five and walking four. His biggest mistake was allowing a two-run home run to Kelly Shoppach in the fourth inning, which happened to also be the first hit of the game he allowed. The seventh inning was where he seemed to run out of gas, allowing back-to-back singles with one out. Sean Doolittle replaced Parker and allowed a single to the first batter he faced, which scored a run, but he retired the following two batters he faced.
Ryan Cook tried to make it interesting in the eighth inning, allowing a lead off single to Michael Saunders, but then striking out Kyle Seager. He then allowed a single to Kendrys Morales, and followed with striking out Michael Morse. With two outs he loaded the bases by walking Justin Smoak, but ended the inning by getting Endy Chavez to srike out.
The ninth inning was not much easier than the eighth, Grant Balfour came in to close the game and struck out Dustin Ackley to lead off the inning. He then walked Kelly Shoppach and followed up by striking out Robert Andino. Michael Sanders singled, but Balfour recorded the last out by getting Kyle Seager to ground out.

Dave Grohl to host Sound City studios radio series
Foo Fighters frontman will play music recorded at the California studio
Dave Grohl will start hosting a radio show today (November 29) about Sound City studios.
The Foo Fighters frontman's first weekly show, titled 'Dave Grohl Presents Sound City' will air on SiriusXM at 4pm EST and will feature music recorded at the California studio, Rolling Stone reports.
Each episode will focus on a specific time period at the studios, which Grohl is currently making a documentary about. Titled Sound City, the film will tell the story of the iconic studio, featuring interviews with a series of artists and producers. The Foo Fighters frontman apparently came up with the concept for the documentary last year, when he bought the Neve 8028 recording console from the studio after they closed down for commercial use in May 2011.
The first episode of Grohl's radio show to be aired today will cover 1970-75 and will feature tracks from the likes of Neil Young, Elton John and Fleetwood Mac. The episodes will extend to 2011, with music from Tom Petty, the Grateful Dead, Jimmy Eat World, Metallica, Arctic Monkeys and Grohl's former band Nirvana, who recorded their seminal LP 'Nevermind' there. The final episode of the show - to air on January 24 - will feature a discussion with Grohl about making the documentary.
"I'm so proud of the Sound City film and beyond excited for the world to see what I've been working on for the past year," Grohl said in a statement. "Even before that, though, I'm grateful to SiriusXM for giving me the opportunity to share all this great music and to let people know what got me excited about Sound City in the first place."
Scroll down to watch a teaser trailer for the documentary, featuring interviews with Pixies' Frank Black, Metallica's Lars Ulrich and producers Rick Rubin and Trent Reznor.

Great story about the development of the idea of Medium and the process in rapidly prototyping and filtering ideas to something simple and focused.
Joining Engine Yard
On January 11, 2013, I had my last day at Academic Software Plus and will be the Platform Team at Engine Yard in about a week.
I was the companies first intern back in 2009, and was hired at the end of the internship and I accepted my first full-time job as a web developer.
makeshift Best Intern Award. We found this plaque when we expanded our office space and it was repurposed using the label maker.
I was able to be there at the start of a large project being written in Ruby on Rails and help it go live in under a year. I watched the team grow in terms of skill and size.
I was able to attend my first developer conference (mountain west ruby) and several others. I was able to be a part of WNY Ruby group and the company has been backing the group since as long as I can remember.
It has been a great experience working at AS+. While there, I learned to work in a team.
The changes you make impact others.
The changes you make impact others and you have to understand whatever you push, must be ready for others to pull in. So, don't commit those git conflicts, don't forget database migrations or even don't forget to check in an updated database schema file.
Keep things clean.
Clean commit history helps a lot. When someone looks at the git log
they should be able to read it, and not like reading a 14 year old's twitter feed ("OMG", "LOL", "HE TOLD ME TO!", etc.). rebase your feature before you merge in to make sure you adjust your work on top of others.
Allow people to figure things out easily.
The original author will not always be available to explain the reasoning behind decisions or easily decipher the purpose of methods. Make things easier for everyone and document. This is a lesson learned through growing pains and especially harder justify when things are changing frequently. But, better late than never.
The best way for change is to encourage.
Sometimes small pains just pile up and it all becomes this larger monster that no one wants to attempt. People will yell about the pains, which helps bring awareness, but what really helps is when someone is able to say, "here was a problem, here's the start of a solution".
Accumulated office possessions. Lots of coffee mugs, a few foldable.me's, a giant mousepad and some led lights.
I ran gitstats on our main application's git commit history and got some interesting stats from it.
I was the number 1 commiter at 26% of all commits since August 2009. I removed more lines than I have added in commits (I'd like to think that's a good thing).
The future at Engine Yard
I look forward to joining Engine Yard and the awesome people in the Platform team that I had the pleasure of meeting in Portland, OR and the former AS+ employee Jim Lindley. I will also be hanging out with the Buffalo team in their office.
I do not know too much about exactly what I will be working on, but look forward to some big things!
"From Pitch to Plan: Learn the Secret" talk by George Chamoun of Synacor
Undergraduate Academics of University at Buffalo hosted a talk by George Chamoun, a founder and now executive vice president of Synacor, about starting a company.
The Big Idea
George told his story of starting Synacor, fresh out of college as an alumni of University at Buffalo. They were sports fans and thought it would be awesome to have an email @ domain of their favorite team instead of just @hotmail.com, which George said sounded "like a porn site." They would then partner with companies to brand emails with advertisement in exchange for the email service. So they had an idea, but they faced the classic dilemma for startups, an idea but no capital or even anything built.
Path to Starting
Luckily, one of the founders was interning at a company, and after pitching the idea, was able to not only get an adviser to help guide them, but also space in the office for them to meet and work out of.
They had a space, but they were business guys and still needed an engineer to build the platform. They approached a local developer, Mark Musone, and pitched him the idea. As a result, they were able to have him do the development, but in exchange, they would help work on his house. This meant putting up drywall, putting in windows and a stairway. They now had an employee… and employer.
First Customer
In order to get their first customer, they decided to provide the service for free. They approached the Buffalo Bisons and asked to have a link placed on their site for email signups.
From there, they were able to get more customers and more advertisers. Three years after that, they had over 200 customers!
Seeking Investors
When finding people to invest, you should think about what people are interested in and focus on that.
People believe in markets and people.
The Secret: PHD
The big secret to starting a company. George revealed his ideology behind being successful at starting a company, the acronym PHD.
P - Passion
He sees passion as having believe in yourself and your dream. As time passes, this makes things fun.
H - Hours
Devote more time than others. Put in that extra effort and immerse yourself in your field. Devoting time becomes more and more natural.
D - Discipline
Be able to focused to your goals. Out of the three, this becomes harder over time and needs more attention.
From this talk, I learned how important it is to find advisers to fill in those knowledge gaps.
During Q&A, he answered the question of how to address self-doubt or second guessing. He said that you are going to be 50% wrong, but also 50% right and just know that and be ok with that. This made me think that beyond that, you should know the next step to take if you are going to be wrong, that way you have confidence no matter if you are right or wrong.

Koh Tao is a small island in the gulf of Thailand that is world famous for its diving. Calm, clear water, plenty of coral reefs, and sea life that include turtles, rays, whale sharks and a colorful array of fish. These natural wonders combined with the ridiculously low cost of diving make it one of the most thriving diving communities in the world, qualifying over 2% of all the worlds DMTs (dive master in training). So it's no wonder that I decided to make a return rendezvous with this island when I decided to gain some experience as a diver myself.
My pre-existing diving experience came in the form of a Cozumel, Mexico resort about 15 years ago. The, "dive instructors", at the resort simply handed me the full equipment, showed me how to put it on and promptly escorted me to the ocean and told me to walk in and start breathing underwater. I also took part in what is called "Snuba-diving" at one point during a family vacation to Hawaii about 10 years ago, which simply amounted to being the joke of the holiday. Consensus: Mexican resorts are irresponsible and Snuba is a joke not worth telling. Coming to Koh Tao and immersing myself in the diving community that exists there truly showed me how serious a sport diving really is.
The first step for any aspiring diver is their Open Water Diver certification, which qualifies a person to dive anywhere in the world up to 18 meters deep with the proper equipment and an experienced instructor. Of the multitude of diving outfits in Koh Tao, I chose Big Blue Diving for my training. Big Blue came highly recommended by my friends and is one of the larger diving schools on the island with a typical class size of 10 students. One might also choose to go with Ban's Dive school, one of the largest in the world or perhaps a smaller outfit with smaller class sizes and more personal attention such as Rocktopus Diving school. It all depends on the experience you want and the level of personal attention you feel you need.
My Open Water Diver course was to take place over the span of 4 days and I was offered free, "dorm room", accommodations at Big Blue as long as I was enrolled. I enrolled the day I arrived on the island and I was to start class at 5pm. After checking out the dorm room accommodations I was satisfied with the free price and lukewarm shower so I proceeded to claim a top-bunk and have a meet-n-greet with my fellow bunk mates, all of which were also divers of varying levels and solo travelers like myself.
The, front and center, dorms also included the entertainment of all the local pet dogs in the area. To explain; Koh Tao has an abundance of canines, which are readily taken care of by the locals and semi-permanent dive instructors of the island. All the dogs have their own personalities and territories, Big Blue claiming about 4 different pups, most notably the kitchen dog named Sausage, seen here:
The first day was a classroom setting where myself and a group of 10 others learned the basics of equipment, diving physics and sea life, such as the definition of SCUBA (self contained underwater breathing apparatus) and the hazards of improper ascent and descent (the Bends and lung over-expansion). After class we were provided with textbooks and homework, sent home with the promise of actually being under water the next day.
Day two included a bit more classroom activity, but in the afternoon we attempted out first underwater excursion…in a pool. We were fitted for all the equipment (BC, regulator, tank, mask and fins) and were shown how to properly assemble and wear the get-up. We then proceeded to break up into groups and practice the skills we learned in the classroom. My group included a German couple, an Icelandic couple (I still don't believe their language is real), and myself. I got to partner with the instructor, Guy, from the UK. We all passed the drills smashingly and were all ready for the next day of actual ocean diving.
Before we could step into the ocean however, we had to take our Final Exam. The Final Exam consisted of 50 multiple choice questions regarding all the skills we were force fed over the previous two days. I finished first, very confident that I got 100% (offered the reward of a free beer), only to find out I missed 5 questions. Oh well, I still passed and I think that most of the questions I missed were debatable, seems about par for the course with my academic career. In fact, everyone in the class passed, but no one with 100%, but it didn't matter since we were all juiced for our first open water dives that afternoon. The only real setback was that my previous instructor, Guy, had gotten himself badly electrocuted right before class by trying to use a defunct electric socket. Apparently plugging your laptop into the wall is more dangerous than diving. After a few hours he was OK, but not in any condition to dive, so I was assigned a new instructor and dive buddy, Luke, also from the UK…where else.
Dives 1 and 2 took place at 12:30pm the same day as the final exam. We were fitted for our BC, fins and mask and taken by long-tail boat out to the larger Dive Boats situated in the bay. After a quick 30 min boat ride to peaceful Mango Bay on the other side of the island, we were anchored and gathered downstairs for assembling our gear and getting in the water.
A little flumbly with the gear and a few hiccups with the assembly, but after our first, "giant stride" entry, we were in the water and descending (we would later learn the "dead Mexican" and "James Bond" entry styles). I was a bit nervous at first, but once my ears started equalizing normally and I realized the beauty around me I was too excited to be scared. Once we reached the bottom around 11 meters deep, we proceeded to get comfortable swimming and then practice a few of the emergency drills we learned in the pool the previous day such as; filling and clearing your mask of water, removing your mask, removing your rebreather and using your secondary rebreather, amongst others. Removing the mask is definitely the hardest one for me, the salt water still burns your eyes and it takes more focus than you think to try and breath only through your mouth without pinching your nose underwater. The total dive lasting about 45 minutes, the longest I've ever been underwater for sure, unless you count that old submarine ride at Disney World.
Dive number two took place at Japanese Gardens, a nice outcrop of coral where we once again practiced some skills and worked on our buoyancy and kicking techniques. After skills were complete to Luke's satisfaction, we were free to explore a bit and take in the scenery. We encountered hoards of Yellowstripe Scad, colorful Bannerfish, tiny Perian Carpet Flatworms and the territorial Titan Triggerfish.
The next and final day if diving in the Open Water certification course took place promptly at 6:30am. So the usual Koh Tao nightlife spots of Lotus and Fishbowl we're without my presence for at least one night. Bleary eyed but excited I showed up at the equipment shack to claim my gear and hop on the long tail boat to be ferried out to the dive boat. The mornings two dives would be at Liem Thieam Bay and Red Rock, two great spots for seeing aquatic life and staying above our depth limit of 18 meters. The skill tests were over for the most part and this final day was about just having fun and enjoying diving. They even send along a film crew with you on the final day in order to produce a video of your group at the end of the day (in hopes that you will buy it). The final 2 dives did not disappoint, I felt much more comfortable and confident in my abilities and got to see a pair of white-eye Moray Eels, Jenkins Stingray, Orange Spine Unicorn fish, Malabar Grouper, Glass Shrimps, Sixbar Angelfish and a Black Blotched Porcupine fish. There was also a fair amount of goofing off for the cameras.
The diving wrapped up around noon and once our dive books were properly logged I was ready for a nap. Later that evening we were presented with our official "Open Water Diver" certification cards and we all sat down at the Big Blue bar for a beer and the premier of the video that was made for our graduating class. As the video says: Congratulations, Open Water Diver. Next up, the Advanced Diver certification.

NASA Data Combined to Improve Hurricane Landfall Forecasts
Data gathered from last year's NASA hurricane research mission and a NASA satellite have improved tropical storm landfall and storm strength forecasts in computer models.
Image above:
These are computer model forecast tracks for tropical storms Cindy and Gert from July, 2005. The black curve is the actual track. The red curve represents the forecast track without NASA data, and the blue curved track includes NASA data. The shapes along the lines indicate storm locations every 6 hours. These figures show that by adding aircraft dropsonde (sensor) data and satellite wind data, the computer model forecast more accurate landfall time and locations and improved the storm track by about 50 percent.

Ocean surface wind data gathered from NASA's QuikSCAT satellite were combined with data from aircraft sensors dropped into tropical storms and fed into a new generation weather research and forecasting (WRF) computer model used to predict weather. The researchers in this study also used data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) GOES-11 satellite rapid-scan cloud track wind data. When the data were added, the resulting prediction showed improved track and intensity forecast of tropical storms.
"Our results indicate the quite positive impact of those data on forecasts of two landfall storms in last season: tropical storms Cindy and Gert." said Zhaoxia Pu, scientist at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, and lead researcher on the study. She reported the results on April 24 at the American Meteorological Society's Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology in Monterey, Calif. The detailed results of this study have been submitted to the Monthly Weather Review for publication.
"By incorporating the aircraft sensor and QuiKSCAT data, the new generation WRF computer model was able to reproduce structure of the rainfalls that caused the flooding during the landfall of two storms," Pu said.
Image above:
These two images show forecast rainfall amounts over 48 hours, from tropical storm Cindy, July 5-7th without (left) and with NASA data (right). The left image without aircraft sensor and satellite data shows unrealistic large amounts of rain after Cindy made landfall. It also missed a large amount of rainfall that happened before Cindy's center made landfall. The right-hand image with aircraft and NASA satellite data is much more accurate to the rain that really fell.

In July 2005, the Tropical Cloud Systems and Processes (TCSP) mission investigated two hurricanes and several tropical storms. The mission was based at the Juan Santamaria Airfield in San Jose, Costa Rica, and flew 13 NASA ER-2 science flights, including missions to Hurricanes Dennis and Emily. NASA, NOAA, and the Costa Rican Centro Nacional de Alta Tecnologia were participants in the mission.
The P-3 aircraft from the NOAA Hurricane Research Division flew 20 coordinated missions with the NASA research aircraft to investigate developing tropical disturbances. Sensors dropped from airplanes, called dropsondes, gathered data on temperature, winds, pressure and humidity inside the storms.
The team also employed small, unmanned aerial vehicles, a series of balloon-borne weather probes and several low-earth, polar-orbiting and geostationary NASA and NOAA satellites.
The results from this study imply that satellite data are a valuable source for improving tropical cyclone forecasts. In addition, the 2005 field experiment provided valuable data and opportunities for better understanding tropical cyclones.
Image right:
This image shows how much rain fell (in millimeters - see side bar) as measured on the ground along the track of tropical storm Cindy during 3-8 July 2005.

The new generation WRF computer model is widely used for forecasting and research. It has been used by many local government agencies, research institutes and commercial industries for real-time forecasts.
Pu said that NASA data's enhancement of WRF hurricane computer model forecasts will encourage the forecast community to incorporate it in all future hurricane forecasts.

Super Cross: Hope Again in Huddersfield
PHOTOS: Wig Worland
A very close run and thrilling race in the second round of the Rapha Super Cross at Huddersfield, but Hope Technology, led by National Champion Paul Oldham, again pipped Scott UK to maximum points to keep the leader's jerseys going into the Series decider at Alexandra Palace in north London next Sunday (October 23).
The individual results saw a fantastic duel between the two pre-race favourites, with Hargroves Cycles's Jody Crawforth outsprinting Oldham on the line in front of more packed crowds on another sunny day up north.
Crawforth's team-mate Steve James won the under-23 prize with third spot, giving Hargroves a good start in the team competition, but with a third-counting rider failing to appear high in the results, it was the consistency of Hope that won out.
Nick Craig, meanwhile, again played his team captain's role, sticking
with Scott Uk's Luke Grivell-Mellor to put the youngster into lead in
the overall under-23 competition.
Rapha's team of young Great Britain under-23 riders rode another solid race to maintain their third position.
Nearly 350 riders, from four-year-olds to professionals, took part in
the day of racing, with guest of honour and Tour de France pioneer Brian Robinson presenting prizes and the Marsden Brass Band providing the music.

NHL cancels another week of 2012-13 schedule
Share with others:
The NHL today canceled another week of the 2012-13 schedule, though Nov. 1, because of the ongoing lockout.
The league previously scratched the first two weeks of the season because of the labor dispute.
The Penguins were to have played nine games over the three weeks that have now been canceled. The NHL has said that if the dispute can be resolved by late next week, a condensed but full 82-game season could start Nov. 2, and has carefully worded its news releases to say the schedule, rather than games, were being canceled.
The league and its Players' Association exchanged proposals on a new collective bargaining agreement this week, but no further talks are scheduled.

The installation on my 2007 Chrysler Town & Country with Stow-n-go seats went smooth. Got slowed down by a stuck bolt but was able to free it using penetrating oil. Nice product, and the 2 inch receiver and extra capacity over competing models of a similar price range sealed the deal.

Nice hitch. Not really sure why they just don't send longer bolts to carry all the way through the "body rail". Fishing those bolts and washers sucked, and I'm an electrician and do that sort of thing all the time!. Plus you NEED to alter the rail to get the bolts through. The car can only tow 2500lbs the longer bolt would be ok in this application. Over all it was good the ease of the wiring harness made up for hitch issue

I purchased this hitch for my Rav4 mainly for a bike rack. I also purchased an electrical kit in case I wanted to pull a trailer in the future. This is a first class piece of equipment. Make no mistake, it is very well made and quite substantial. It fits perfectly with no problems, however, unless you're in good shape physically, you're in for a shock if you think you're going to pull it out of the box and slap it on in a few minutes. It is, as I said, substantial! Get help.

No drilling required which is a huge incentive to buy this, other than the fact it is a Reese. It took me about 30 min to install myself, and would cut the time in half if I had a second set of hands. No issues installing and it is extremely secure. Best buy for the money!

Hello, This means that since you have an SL model, you want to select the Non-Krom submodel. Essentially the 2011 Rogue has at least 3 different rear chassis designs depending on if its an SL, SV or a Krom edition. Pick the wrong submodel and the part might not fit, so be careful.

More than 75% of Americans suffer from some form of gum disease - also called periodontal disease - and many don't even know it. The symptoms include bleeding, bad breath and sore, swollen gums. Gum disease creates gaps between the teeth and gums, and the infected gum starts to separate from the tooth. These gaps, known as pockets, can become deeper over time, trapping food and creating an environment for bacteria to grow. The deeper they are, the more your risk of permanent tooth damage.
If left untreated, it can severely harm the gums and bones supporting your teeth, and eventually lead to tooth loss.
Gum disease can cause your gums to bleed or become infected, swollen, or tender. As a result, the infected gum starts to separate from the tooth.
The gap between the gum and the tooth is known as a pocket that can become deeper over time. And this may raise your risk of permanent damage.
Aspen Dental dentists take gum disease very seriously, and the team will do everything possible to provide you with the care you need.
By examining your entire mouth, not just a specific problem, the dentist can determine whether you have conditions such as gum disease, and then get you started on the right treatment in the office and in your home. It's all part of helping you find and keep your smile.
