Ad Director, Coca-Cola On The Benefits Of Uncertainty [Cannes]
Guido Rosales discusses how it is necessary to take risks by creating adventurous campaigns across diverse channels in unrealized markets.
Guido Rosales understands that establishing a successful bond between a brand and consumers takes flexibility. As Director of Latin America Advertising Strategy for the Coca-Cola, he has experimented across multiple channels in the face of social and economic crises but so far has managed to deliver a positive message to the brand's Latin American audience. As part of our coverage on this year's Cannes Lions Festival, PSFK spoke with Guido Rosales on why innovation is synonymous with learning from past mistakes.
You're back at Cannes, Guido. How do you think the industry has changed over the last 12 months?
The world is continuing to morph into a new social environmental system. The whole industry is re-thinking the way we create resonance and relevance for our brands. The industry is evolving and continuously adapting itself to the different factors that are impacting our environment, from technology to market and resource uncertainties.
Technology, as you know, is changing fast. Mobile innovation is leap-frogging computers, and smartphones and tablets penetrations are growing year over year. The digital experiences of gaming, TV and social interaction, and the retail/shopper experience are surprising us every day.
The Market uncertainties are strongly influenced by the younger generations (Generation Y and the upcoming Generation Z) that are changing standard consumption habits. They are born digital, with a digital brain. They are creating a new language via technology, and if you don´t speak the same language, you are out. They are in search of new experiences, and they want to take action. They are not as passive as the previous generations.
Competition is coming from everywhere; it's not only the brand that is in your category. All brands are competing for share of attention in order to build an emotional bond with people.
Consumers have more information and have more choices of products and services.
Our customers require more customization and differentiation than ever. Partnerships and alliances are rising all over the world.
The Resource uncertainty is coming from new talent inside organizations, new and different skills, and new ways of motivating our employees. Organizations must take a more holistic approach, implementing new structures that are more flexible and adaptable to the new environment.
Those who are adapting faster to these changes are the ones that are leading the industry.
What recent marketing from Coca-Cola Latin America illustrates how your work is evolving?
I think our Streaming and Innovation Lab projects are the ones that best illustrate how we are evolving and adapting to the new environment.
With Streaming we want to revolutionize our approach to marketing, making it more social, desirable and democratic. It should be relevant to people without interrupting what they are interested in. We want to create a unique experience, distributing compelling and amazing content and generating social conversation among our consumers. Streaming is our proprietary communication network where we deliver branded content.
Under Project Streaming we have launched Coke.FM and Coke.TV
Coke.FM is our digital radio, where we are going beyond a traditional Internet Radio Station turning Coke.FM into an audio and keyboard experience for the audience. It's a place where teens can express themselves. We have an online player with premium programming, and everything is connected to social networks like Facebook and Twitter. In some cases, as in Mexico, we even have our own studio.
The average listening duration is around 15:25 minutes connection per user.
Coke.TV is our own Digital TV Channel. It's a new way of reaching the youth market, offering a unique social and entertaining experience. It's a proprietary streaming system that broadcasts high quality video across social networks (Facebook, YouTube, etc.) and screens.
Our challenge is to deliver one drop of content that needs to be social, liquid, impactful, and universal, with a positive message that spreads the drop of happiness to our audience.
So far we have great results, exemplified by last month's streaming live broadcast of the Paul McCartney concert at El Zocalo in Mexico City. The streaming drew more than 1.4 millon visits, with people spending more than 23 minutes on our channel.
Last but not least is the Innovation Lab. This is a process that we began testing two years ago, where we push our key partners (creative agencies, production houses and digital agencies) to bring us new ways of building consumer experiences. The idea here is to develop unconventional ideas that can amplify our brand storytelling in a compelling and unique way, often outside the confines of a creative brief.
It's a trial and error process. We can fail, we know, but at the end we are learning and evolving our way of doing marketing.
What aspects of marketing do you think Latin American marketers are leading the way in?
I think innovation and flexibility. And I think this is because of the expertise that we gained as the result of the many difficulties that we have confronted in the past: social economic crises, consumption downfalls, market instability, etc. In order to survive we started doing more with less. We developed an instinct that enables us to see positive opportunities even during moments of crisis. We have adapted quickly to fluctuating markets conditions, and we brought creative solutions to an adverse environment.
Thanks Guido!

Television Buying Guide
by Staff Writer
The latest televisions have made some major strides in picture quality, and they're loaded with features. Even better, the prices keep going down a bit more every year, so high-definition technology is more affordable than ever. This television buying guide will give you information on how to choose a TV that's just right for you and your home.
How to Choose a Television:
Shop LED TVs ▸
- Screen size:
TV sizes are based on the diagonal measurement of the screen, and the screens range from about 20 inches up to 80 inches or more. To determine the best screen size, consider the distance between the television screen and viewers, where you'll be placing the TV, and what you like to watch.
Choosing the Right Size TV:Viewing distance:
The distance between your TV and seating area is the main factor that will help you choose a size. An easy equation is to divide the viewing distance (in inches) in half and that's the smallest screen size that would work well. Here's a chart to help you determine an approximate size.
|Viewing Distance
|Minimum TV Screen Size
|5 feet (60 inches)
|30 inches
|6 feet (72 inches)
|36 inches
|7 feet (84 inches)
|42 inches
|8 feet (96 inches)
|48 inches
|9 feet (108 inches)
|54 inches
|10 feet (120 inches)
|60 inches
|12 feet (144 inches)
|72 inches
Placement: Will you be using the stand the TV comes with or will you be hanging it on the wall? If you want to place the TV on an entertainment center using the stand, the screen will be lower, and it could be a bit smaller. If you want to hang the TV on a wall, for example above a fireplace, the screen will be higher, so it should be larger.
What you watch: If you're planning to watch Blu-ray movies on your TV, you'll want a larger screen, so you can enjoy a theater-like experience at home. But if you mainly need a television to watch the local news, you could save a bit of money and buy a smaller TV.
- Number of HDMI ports:
HDMI is currently the most popular cable type for connecting your TV to other devices, like Blu-ray players, video game consoles, home theater receivers, and many other audio and video sources. HDMI carries both digital audio and video signals. The number of HDMI ports matters if you have several devices to connect, so be sure to consider how many things you have and how many of those you want to use at the same time. Most HDTVs still have ports for connecting your old DVD player or even a VCR through the red-yellow-white composite video cables, S-video cables, and coaxial cables.
- Screen resolution:
HDTV screen resolution is listed as the number of pixels in the horizontal dimension. The higher the resolution, the clearer and more detailed the picture.
HDTV Native Resolutions:
720i: Old CRT televisions used to divide the picture into odd and even lines. There wasn't enough bandwidth in an analog signal to broadcast them all at once, so televisions would receive the odd numbered lines first and then the even lines. This is known as "interlacing." A 720i TV, in which the "i" stands for "interlaced," will have the interlace format.
720p: With newer video technology, all the lines in a picture are displayed at once, which is known as "progressive scan." A 720p HDTV uses progressive scan and has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This is often enough for a smaller TV, but you may be able to see the pixels if you sit close.
1080p: A 1080p HDTV uses progressive scan and has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. You'll notice the higher definition of this resolution on TVs larger than 40 inches. Many devices support 1080p resolution, so check to see if yours will before you buy a TV.
Ultra HD: Also known as 4K, this is the latest in HD technology. It has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels.
- Weight:
If you plan to mount your flat panel TV, note its weight. Different wall mounts have different weight ratings. If you aren't going to mount the TV but you have small children in the house, be sure to secure the television, so children can't pull it down onto themselves.
Types of Televisions:
- Plasma televisions:
Plasma TVs have no backlight to illuminate the television screen. The plasma cells themselves glow. These glowing plasma cells make up the pixels for the entire television screen.
Plasma TV Features:
Plasmas use more energy than LCD TVs, and they tend to give off more heat as well.
Plasma televisions feature a high contrast ratio and superior response time, which translates into great color reproduction and less motion-blur or "ghosting" effects in the picture.
Plasma TVs have glass screens, so they tend to be heavier than LCD TVs.
- LCD TVs:
LCD TVs use liquid crystal to make up the pixels in the screen.
- OLED TVs:
OLED Organic Light Emitting Diode) televisions are ultra-thin and the picture quality is the best available.
- 3D TVs:
Like 3D movies, some people enjoy this technology, but not every viewer feels like it's necessary. You may see a few 3D TVs for sale, but they're aren't the most popular. If you're a fan of the technology, however, you'll want to think about these features while you shop.
LCD Features:
LCD televisions are lighter, cooler, and more energy-efficient than plasma TVs of the same size.
A LCD flat-panel TV uses backlighting, which can affect the picture quality and contrast. LED backlit LCD TVs have better contrast ratios.
LCDs used to lag behind plasma TVs when it came to response time and motion-blur, but most new LCD TVs correct for these problems and have superior image processing and response time.
OLED Features:
OLED TVs are self-illuminating and do not need backlights.
They are the most energy efficient TV.
This new technology comes with a large price tag, so not many people are buying these yet.
3D Features:
You'll need to wear 3D glasses while you watch TV if you want to actually see things in 3D.
You can still watch 2D programming on 3D TVs, and it will look incredible.
3D is often just an added feature on higher end televisions.

The Toffees are eight points behind Arsene Wenger's side after Saturday's results and could keep up their outside push for a Champions League place when they face the Magpies
The Merseysiders are sixth in the table and still harbour hopes of securing a place in next season's Champions League. They cut the gap to fourth-placed Arsenal to eight points with a pulsating 3-2 home victory over Swansea City on Saturday as Arsene Wenger's men slumped to a 6-0 defeat at Chelsea.
The Toffees also have a game in hand over the Gunners as they prepare to travel to Newcastle on Tuesday and the Spaniard is eager to ensure that his players do not waste the opportunity in front of them.
"We're in a very, very good moment," Martinez told reporters after beating Swansea. "The players are fresh, looking forward to every game. We've got nine games to go and we need to make sure that we take advantage of every single point that we can get."
|Everton are 16/5 with William Hill to beat Newcastle with both teams to score
The stadium ban handed out to boss Alan Pardew following his headbutt on Hull City's David Meyler did little to hamper them on Saturday as they left it late to beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at St James's Park.
Papiss Cisse's injury-time strike gave them all three points to move them up to eighth, with assistant John Carver masterminding things from the dugout in Pardew's absence. That strike marked a first goal in more than two months for the Senegal forward and captain Fabricio Coloccini hopes that he can now kick on from here.
"We are all so happy for him because strikers live to score and he has been a bit unlucky in the last few games," the defender told Newcastle's official website.
"He had a few chances [against Palace], which their goalkeeper saved, and then missed one from Mapou [Yanga-Mbwia's] cross but he never gave up and hopefully this gives him a lot of confidence."
Ahead of facing Everton, Cisse and his fellow strikers will also be heartened by the fact that games between these two sides have generally delivered plenty of excitement, with all of the last six encounters featuring three goals or more. The pair's most recent encounter ended in a 3-2 win for Everton at Goodison Park back in September.
The absence of injured top scorer Loic Remy, who will miss out again with a calf injury, could hamper Newcastle and they will also be missing full-back Mathieu Debuchy with a groin complaint. Davide Santon remains a doubt due to a knee problem, while Gabriel Obertan is also out with a similar concern.
For Everton, Phil Jagielka is doubtful with a hamstring injury, while a knee problem could keep midfielder Steven Pienaar out of action for the third consecutive game.
The visitors have no other new injury concerns, with long-term absentees Lacina Traore (hamstring), Bryan Oviedo (broken leg) and Arouna Kone and Darron Gibson (both knee) all still unavailable.

Where to make this Aluminum piece?
1 Attachment(s)
I have a CAD file for this piece. Although a little hard to believe it is a Amp rack. I really want this piece made of aluminum but willing to settle for other metals like maybe stainless steel.
Do you know a place where this piece could be done. It is aprox 3ft long. As for thickness I would go with 1/2" or so.
Check your yellow pages for local metal fabricators. They should be able to do this in no time if they have the proper equipment.
Just a heads up that is going to be fairly expensive. I could cut it out of 3/8 stainless steel, I have a laser at my shop but that is the thickest it will cut... if you want it out of aluminum you will need to have it waterjet probably because most lasers don't cut aluminum all that well. But just material alone will probably be around 200 dollars, stainless price is about 1.50 a lbs and that would probably weigh 30-40 lbs plus the shop would have to buy a 4x4 sheet of material as well.
Thanks for the heads up. Being stainless steel, 3/8 thick would seem more than enough for my application. You work and /or own a shop for this sort of work?
I would imagine you could go much thinner than 1/2 inch. Maybe do some relief work on it.

By Richard Clarke
Memories of the Invincibles may be revived on Sunday at Emirates Stadium.
If, as expected, Thomas Vermaelen fails to recover from the knee injury he collected at Aston Villa in midweek then Sol Campbell is in line to face Wayne Rooney once again.
The pair famously tangled in October 2004 when champions Arsenal were trying to complete 50 games unbeaten. With the match goalless, the key moment came in the 73rd minute when the Arsenal centre back was adjudged to have tripped the Manchester United striker in the area. It looked contentious but the home side grabbed their chance. Ruud van Nistlerooy scored the penalty and Rooney himself slammed home a second in the dying seconds. Arsenal's run was over.
It would be wrong to say the penalty incident rankles with Arsène Wenger. But at the same time, he has not forgotten. Ahead of the meeting between the two sides this weekend he suggested that, like any attacking player, Rooney was looking for an edge in the area.
"You know how strikers are," he said. "There is no angel. They play a game.
"If you look at the penalty at Old Trafford this year then [ok] you can not say it is not a penalty because Almunia really goes for it. But the ball was already out and Rooney took advantage of the fact Almunia had already dived.
"You can say that it is intelligent. But the border between intelligence and starting to cheat, every striker plays with that.
"You have two games, one with the opponent and one with the rules and the referee and you try and extend that to your advantage. Sometimes you go a little bit over the limit but that is part of the game of a striker.
''It is not cheating it is being a striker but you always have to push a little bit. A defender does it as well when he pulls a player's shirt.
''The first one [with Rooney in 2004], I don't agree with it. For that one Sol Campbell did not touch him at all.
''With the second one he made more of it but it is a penalty because Almunia goes for the ball and he is late."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Toshiba Establishes New U.S. Nuclear Business

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Toshiba Corp. President and CEO Atsutoshi Nishida was a strong supporter of his company's new U.S. nuclear initiatives
(Source: REUTERS/Toshiyuki Aizawa)
The new company will market Toshiba's advanced 4S reactor design. This small reactor design is made to power a small town with a minimal footprint, as pictured here.
(Source: Toshiba and Westinghouse)
Toshiba looks to help satisfy the growing demand for nuclear power in the U.S.
Nuclear power may have its critics, which argue that it
isn't a viable large-scale replacement to fossil fuels
, but enthusiasm for nuclear power continues to mount in the U.S. and abroad.
Also, nuclear is being embraced not just for alternative energy, but also for medical and research purposes. Worldwide need for medical isotopes was brought into sharp focus when a reactor in Canada was
forced to close, and then due to the medical crisis that ensued, swiftly reopen
. The end results is growing public support for nuclear-driven technology.
In the U.S. alone, electric utilities have announce plans to construct 30 new plants in coming years. Among these is NRG Energy's application, which was the
first application for an entirely new plant in 30 years
. Many of the new construction projects will implement sophisticated technologies such as advanced boiling water reactors (ABWR) and pressurized water reactors (AP-1000). These designs will offer additional improvements in efficiency, safety, and output over current designs.
Toshiba is looking
to jump onboard the burgeoning nuclear market. It
announced today that it has created Toshiba America Nuclear Energy Corporation
, a new company that started this month. The company, based just outside Washington D.C., will enhance the existing nuclear lines of business which Toshiba held. Its primary initial focus will be on promoting and marketing the advanced boiling water (ABWR) nuclear power plant design. It will also provide support for related services.
As the new company grows, Toshiba wants to expand its capabilities to include licensing and engineeering support for technologies to go into new nuclear plants in the future. Toshiba and Westinghouse, a Toshiba Group company have both been working to promote the ABWR and AP-1000 reactor designs. The new company will add more market and support resources to these efforts.
Toshiba's new company has a workforce of 30 employees. This number is expected to greatly expand, once construction on the various plant proposals in the U.S. begins in full, which is projected to occur around 2011. At this point, Toshiba explains, it will also add engineering support staff at liason offices near the sites of construction.
Toshiba and Westinghouse focus on the development, implementation and marketing of operation and maintenance (OP&M) technologies, technologies to keep plants running in peak shape. Toshiba America Nuclear Energy Corporation will rely chiefly on Westinghouse for these OP&M capabilities in America. The new company will also help network Westinghouse's construction management talent, which has been cultivated during construction projects in Japan. The company will also support older PWR and BWR designs.
Perhaps most exciting the new company will help to promote the 4S reactor design. This design is a small, and extremely simple and safe system, which offers great promise for distributed nuclear power generation. Toshiba also announced that it may use the new company to help participate in the Next-Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) project.
Toshiba calls nuclear power, "a cost-efficient long-term energy source, a powerful tool in the fight against global warming, and an integral part of a future hydrogen economy."
Its new line of business will also market nuclear power in Europe, Asia and North America.
"Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town." -- Charlie Miller

Super-lightweight Dierry Jean (22-0 14KO) dominated from beginning to end in winning a unanimous decision over Lanardo Tyner (25-8-2 15KO) and capturing the vacant NABF belt in Montreal Saturday night. Scorecards read 119-109 across the board. Jean was simply too fast for Tyner who took the fight on short notice and was unable to make the 140 pound limit.
Nicholson Poulard (18-3 8KO) captured the vacant NABA light heavyweight title with a split decision victory over the previously undefeated Lionell Thompson (12-1 8KO). A sustained body attack by Poulard never let the talented Thompson fully into the fight as the Buffalo fighter was constantly out-worked on the evening. Scores in the bout were 97-93, 96-94 For Poulard and 97-93 for Thompson.

Faces of Conservation
Fisher House
View of Fisher homestead from the Great Marsh
When John Fisher settled in the Great Marsh in 1686 he found a land filled with beauty and promise. He obtained the farm from his Quaker friend William Penn. Ten generations later, his descendants are committed to maintaining that beauty and promise.
Brothers Bill and John Fisher had already considered ways to preserve the integrity of the Fisher farm when the Conservancy approached them to discuss conservation options. Their Sussex County farm had dramatically increased in value. The Fishers feared their children might someday be forced to sell the property to pay estate taxes.
"It was our grandfather, William W. Fisher, who had the vision to conserve the land's historical and natural value. In the early 1900s, he bought parcels from other heirs, restoring the farm's original boundaries," said John. The Fisher homestead, known as Cedarcroft, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. "It's been a sanctuary for our family for more than 300 years. As children, Bill and I spent every summer learning to love this place the way our grandfather did. Now we want to save his vision for our children and grandchildren."
The brothers were especially interested in learning more about a "bargain sale" conservation easement, which could benefit the family and preserve the land.
"We were intrigued by the idea that selling an easement for less than its appraised value would give us a tax deduction, plus funds we could set aside to take care of the farm in the future," said Bill.
One challenge in crafting easement agreements is getting consensus among all the interested parties. Negotiations for the Fisher easement included the whole family.
"We realized we wouldn't be affected by the terms of the easement as much as our kids would be," said John. "Bill and I and my wife, Cathy, worked hard to keep them involved and informed every step of the way."
There are seven grown children in the next generation of Fishers. Some have children of their own and live as far away as South Carolina and California. Bill, John and Cathy were surprised when their children expressed reluctance about placing an easement on the farm.
"Our kids love the place and want to keep it in the family, but some of them were afraid the terms of the easement might limit their ability to eventually build a house or make a living from the land," said John. "We went back and forth several times with the Conservancy to draft terms that satisfied everyone."
"The hardest part of the process," Bill reported, "was trying to envision all the possible future uses of the land. We wanted to preserve the farm, yet retain enough rights for whatever future generations might want to do with the land. Property values have increased so ridiculously in this area that we seriously discussed whether it was fair to our kids to take some of that value away. But we knew it would be even more complicated in the next generation, with multiple heirs."
The process of negotiating and closing on a conservation easement can be lengthy. The Fishers were encouraged to seek professional advice at each step.
"In the end, we're not just evaluating the financial value to our family," said Cathy Fisher. "We're looking at the land and deciding we want to leave the earth better than when we started. You can't put a dollar figure on how it feels to do something for the planet and for future generations."

Beyond Tablets: The Next Five Computing Form Factors
Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on December 12, 2011
- 892 Recommendations
- 2 comments
With CES 2012 a month away, it's a good time to look ahead at what's next for consumer technology product strategy. All eyes have been on tablets: Apple sold 40 million iPads in just 18 months, with 11 million sold in this past quarter alone. With the Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet finding their own successful markets, it's easy to see why tablets attract so much attention and excitement. But computing evolution doesn't end here—tablets, while still growing rapidly, are not the final form factor. We've identified these five form factors as the best candidates for what comes next, which we describe in more detail in a new report for clients:
- Wearables. Wearable devices are devices worn on or near the body that sense and relay information. The Lark sleep tracker and BodyMedia wristband both sync with iOS devices and target health and fitness scenarios. WIMM Labs' wristwatch runs on Android software, and targets multiple scenarios including news, social networking, health, and personal finance.
- Embedded devices. We define embedded devices as physical objects that incorporate computing processors and sensors, excluding those worn on the body, which we classify as wearables. Like wearables, embedded devices are diverse in form, ranging from devices such as Livescribe smartpens that fit into your pocket to LG Thinq refrigerators that sit in your kitchen.
- Surfaces. Surfaces are large interactive displays, which may incorporate multitouch, voice and gesture control, facial recognition, NFC, QR codes, or other input/output mechanisms. Tesco Homeplus, the No. 2 grocery retailer in South Korea, built "virtual malls" in subway stations where commuters order groceries for home delivery with their cell phones by taking pictures of QR codes on a photorealistic surface.
- Flexible displays. Flexible displays are computing screens that can be rolled, folded, or flexed. Flexible devices can take the form of personal devices, such as an eReader, or larger surface displays, such as furniture or wallpaper. HP has been developing printable Mylar displays that it imagines could be used for candy wrappers, armband computers for the military, or living room wallpaper, but the displays are still several years from commercialization.
- Mini-projectors. Mini-projectors are small devices that project a larger image onto another surface or, in the case of holographic projection, into 3D space. Apple has already filed a patent to embed interactive projectors into its iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Embedded mini-projectors would appeal primarily to information workers, but there could be broader consumer uses as well — impromptu photo slide shows or YouTube viewing in a group, for example.
As product strategists think about what's coming in 2012 and beyond, know that none of these devices will operate in isolation. The most successful products will work with other products—for example, wearables that talk to smartphones and TVs; surfaces that are activated by the presence of your smartphone. We're living in a multidevice, multiconnection world, and the best experiences will be those that work across devices and platforms. In that sense, the next phase of the Post-PC Era doesn't look so different from today.

Hi Sarah, agree the future physical converges to preferred human factors forms of input or ouput device. Everything else is ubiquitous or software.
Humans dont' evolve into hobits with small fingers to use small buttons or screens. screens must be flexible to store but rigid in use. wrist re-appears now people have smartphones for watches. projectors become mini. multi-touch becomes any surface
Moixa which invented/licensed 2m folding PDA keyboards, has a range of examples (and patents) at http://www.moixadesign.com/products.asp (e.g. http://1.usa.gov/oXCEpl ) though are current focus is getting rid of batteries, and AC/DC adaptors, as the other ubiquitous thing about future form-factors is that they will all use batteries and DC, and there is nothing more annoying than an aesthetic thin-form device that needs a bulky custom cable or adaptor. the future is edision DC (www.moixatechnology.com)

Jaspers Cruise Past Virginia Commonwealth University; 18-10
RIVERDALE, N.Y. Senior outfielder Eric Nieto and junior Ruben Perez led the offensive charge as the Manhattan College baseball team coasted to an 18-10 victory over Virginia Commonwealth University (3-12) this afternoon in Richmond, Va. The duo accounted for four RBIs and three hits apiece helping the Jaspers to their fourth win of the season.
The Jaspers exploded for a seven run second inning to break open a scoreless contest. Senior Dom Lombardi walked in the lead off spot to get the inning started. Freshmen Austin Sheffield followed with a single, before Anthony Armenio also notched a single to score Lombardi marking the first run of the ballgame.
Perez connected on a RBI double, then Eric Nieto blasted a two run RBI triple to right center sending Luis Llerena across the plate along with Perez. Llerena went 2-for-6 on the day and managed an RBI.
Mark Onorati, a freshman left fielder, joined in the scoring jamboree when he connected on an RBI double down the left field line which sent Eric Nieto to score. He went 3-for-5 from the plate and knocked in two RBIs.
Onorati later capped off the second inning surge by scoring on a wild pitch.
The Rams worked their way back into the contest posting three runs in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings to cut the
In the bottom of the fifth, R.J. Schenk doubled to start off the inning, while Evans wrapped it up with a two-run homer over the left field wall. Schenk was 2-for-3 with two runs.
Despite the comeback effort, this proved to be as close as the Rams would get as Manhattan erupted for 11 runs over the final three innings to secure its fourth road win of the season.
The Jaspers six run eighth inning proved to be the highlight of the late scoring surge. Senior Marc Giordano posted a pinch hit single to right field which resulted in two RBIs. Perez followed with his second double of the day to also knock in a pair of runners.
Eric Nieto added his second triple of the game soon thereafter to put another run on the scoreboard. Finally, Onorati capped the inning off with a double to left center marking his third of the contest. Eric Nieto scored on the hit.
With the victory the Jaspers improve to 4-8-1 on the season.

Why Republicans Protect the 'Honor' of Offensive Team Names
Posted on Jan 14, 2014
By Jeremiah Goulka
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
Every once in a while a small controversy comes along that helps explain a big problem. This National Football League season has provided such a controversy. The name of Washington D.C.'s football team, the Redskins, is under fire. "Redskins" is an offensive term and therefore inappropriate for the team representing our nation's capital. That's kind of obvious, right?
Most Republicans don't think so. They defend the name, as they do other Native American-based team names, such as the college football champion Florida State Seminoles, calling them tokens of "honor." They claim that the names celebrate a "heritage" and "tradition" of "bravery" and "warrior-spirit," and they publicly wonder: What's the problem?
The Onion, that fine news source, captured it in one neat, snide sentence: "A new study… confirmed that the name of the Washington Redskins is only offensive if you take any amount of time whatsoever to think about its actual meaning." So what's keeping Republicans from thinking about it?
Square, Site wide, Desktop
Square, Site wide, Mobile
That said, the GOP's power brokers know the party is facing a demographic time bomb, so why do they let their media minions form an offensive line to protect the Redskins name? Nationally, the Republicans' short-term hopes and long-term survival may hinge on whether they can manage to make the party welcoming to non-whites. Yet they proudly wear these blinders, as I once did, continuing to "honor" American Indians—as they never would a team called the Whiteskins, the Brownskins, the Blackskins, or the Yellowskins. Here's a little breakdown on why.
Republican Blinders
Blinder 1: Intent Is Everything
As I have written previously, Republicans have a convenient belief that when it comes to racism, it's all about intent. With the Redskins name, this is a particularly powerful blinder because, as one sportscaster said, "I strongly believe that there is zero intent to offend Native Americans among Redskins fans or football fans in general."
In the words of a National Review writer, "No one picks a team name as a means of disparagement." Similarly, Human Events columnist John Hayward claimed that "[n]obody names their football team the Losers or the Wimps." Again and again, Republicans in the media sound this chord, effectively saying that if there is no intent to harm, then there's no foul.
Blinder 2: The Messengers
A big reason why conservatives don't like change is the people who push for it. Just look at who's complaining about the Redskins name.
There are Native Americans protesting the name, like the Oneida Tribe's "Change the Mascot" campaign. To a Republican, that means this is, ipso facto, the usual, tedious, "race-card" stuff and another instance of the obsession with identity and victimization. In my Republican days, I would have asked, "Can't you Indians or Native Americans or whatever you want to be called these days see that making your group identity the most important part of your existence denies your individuality? You sink or swim on your own in our meritocracy. How can you thrive if your mind's on the reservation?" (Not that I knew any Native Americans to ask, of course.)
Then there are the cadres of academics (liberals!), foaming at the mouth about "narratives" and "oppression," glorifying relativism, preaching white guilt and feel-bad history, and denying Objective Truth. The American Psychological Association says that such team names promote negative stereotypes, making little Indian kids feel bad about themselves. Boo hoo!
There are also the activists, those unwashed Occupy longhairs who get off on feeling offended for other people, "fabricat[ing] outrage," creating a "manufactured controversy."
There's the feared "Liberal Media." A handful of newspapers, the alternative rag Washington City Paper, and several liberal outlets like Slate, the New Republic, and Mother Jones now refuse to use the Redskins name, instead inelegantly referring to "Washington's football team." Most don't even cover sports, but they can't miss a chance to pontificate!
Singled out for the most angst was sportscaster Bob Costas—for speaking out against the name during a Sunday Night Football broadcast. Glenn Beck's response was to call him "senile" and a "sanctimonious piece of crap."
And then there are the politicians. Guess which team's jersey they're wearing? There's the Washington city council (no Republicans there, of course!) getting all righteous with a unanimous resolution urging that the team be renamed something non-offensive. There are Democrats in Congress lining up to do their bit by pushing a bill to strip the very right of a team to trademark its name if it's offensive to Indians!
Worst of all is the "Trinity of Evil," the "Socialist Trifecta": Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and above all President Obama. They've all come out against the Redskins name.
See a common thread here? Democrats. Liberals. Progressives. Minorities. The Left.
The other team.
These messengers could say that the sky is blue, and the natural Republican inclination would be to think that they were lying for partisan gain. The Enemy is relentless, implacable, and vast. It must be stopped.

Re: WWE 2006 by Renegade
Big opening spiel from JR and King to kick things off for what seems like a loaded show tonight.
Big Foley promo to kick the show off, and build up more anticipation for the War Games match. Not sure how the build has went since SNME, but hopefully I can catch up here. Foley gives a shout out to his team matches, before saying he wont be involved, which has me thinking Ca-
Bischoff ruins the gathering. Nice back and forth jabbing from the GM's, before Foley finally reveals he will be Cactus Jack at SS. Brawl with everyone joining in, eventually finishing up with the faces on top. Nice way to go into Summer Slam.
Dont see why Maven needs a push, as your mid card has been getting along tremendously with better stars filling the spots. Haas loses some momentum thanks to AJ, but I have a feeling Haas keeps the belt at SS.
Nice quick segment between Rhyno and Raven to add more fuel to their Hardcore title feud, which I guess will culminate at SS. Awesome Gore
Decent enough promo between Cena and Austin, although both men seemed to be a little too happy to not hit the other. Was expecting a few more instances where they'd be close to snapping. Stunner on Coach at the end does the trick, and sets these two up for SS on an even steven basis.
Could've just had this match, or the Haas match earlier, but the show definately didnt need both matches. Beat down from Haas now sets things up differently for Summer Slam, and a title change could now be on the cards.
Nice to see the more annoying side of HBK now, and finally you're having Triple H instead of HHH during speech!!! Awesome. Nice touch with Sweet Chin Music on Grisham at the end. Loving Michaels in this threat at the moment.
Didnt really need that showdown, as the brawl earlier was enough.
Pleased to see Carlito get the win over Test here, and he's probably next in line for the IC Title, unless you decide to go full steam with the Maven push.
Too much from Charlie Haas tonight I'm afraid, especially with this being the last stop before the second biggest show of the year. I could understand three segments for HHH or HBK, but not Charlie Haas.
Decent enough DX promo, but I just didnt care for it, because I dont see the need for X-Pac, Gunn or Road Dogg. I have a slight feeling there could be a DX turn coming on HHH. Dunno why, just do.
Dudley Boys win a filler tag match, which possibly sets them up as the next team to challenge for the belts after SS. Hopefully the champs are still Cade and Jindrak.
Good main event, with Michaels playing the smart heel, and staying completely out of it, keepign himself fresh for SS. Triple H pins Cade, which was surprising, as I expected A-Train to be the man to take the pin from HHH, but it's all good.
Really should've ended the show there, as the 10 man brawl - again - didnt need to be done. Raw goes off the air fully ready for SS.
Overall, it was a solid show Renegade, but there were a few segments backstage etc that really didnt need to be there as you'd done enough to build certain feuds earlier in the show.

Sónar Sessions
Moscow's DZA with a gleeful mix of heavyweight beats and genre-defying quick-hitters. Live at SonarDôme 2013.
Sasha DZA is the Muscovite behind the How2make crew, a group that has taken its love for experimental sounds and bass bins to create something very much their own. After DZA's time at the Red Bull Music Academy in 2010, his music was picked up by forward-thinking imprints like Error Broadcast and Black Acre, allowing him to take his electrofied take on bass music even further afield. Inspired by video game music, U.S. Maple and Steve Reich in equal measure, DZA's tunes are gleeful, genre-non-specific quick-hitters. If there's one thing that you will notice throughout DZA's discography, though, it's the clutch of tropical melodies that no doubt sound right at home anywhere between his heavy beats and weightless ambience.

Uproar Disrupts Climate Conference
by Emma Ross
THE HAGUE, Netherlands - Demonstrators disrupted a major
conference on global warming Wednesday with dozens of protesters
staging a sit-in and a cake thrower targeting the top U.S.
The uproar came as discussion at the U.N. climate conference focused on how to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases, blamed by much of the scientific community for global warming.
But the high-level talks were disrupted when several dozen environmental activists entered the high security building, broke into a committee meeting and staged a sit-in. Conference President Jan Pronk said equipment was damaged and small fires were set in the building.
In an apparently unrelated incident, a woman pressed a chocolate cream cake into the face of the chief U.S. negotiator, Under Secretary of State Frank E. Loy as the American delegation gave its daily press briefing. The woman then calmly walked out of the room.
A second woman then stood up on a chair and screamed at the delegates before being escorted out by a conference technician. Her words were indecipherable. Conference officials said the identity of the women were unknown.
``On the eve of Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie would have been a more traditional choice, but what I really want is a strong agreement to fight global warming. I'm headed back to the negotiating table right now with that aim,'' Loy said after the incident.
He then excused himself and the briefing was called off.
Environmental activists sitting outside the meeting room told The Associated Press they sneaked into the building to disrupt proceedings because they believed the goal of the meeting had betrayed the spirit of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The protocol committed the developing world to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2 percent below 1990 levels.
The U.N. conference, which involves delegates from more than 180 countries, has two days left to decide how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Kyoto agreement.
They environmental activists said they were not connected with the women who disrupted Loy's briefing, nor with any environmental organization.
Dutch police said they had arrested around 100 protesters Wednesday near The Hague's central train station. The activists were planning to march to a number of embassies to protest against nuclear energy, but did not have a permit.
Protesters in the conference building said they believed the negotiations were watering down environmental protection.
Conferees are debating different ways that nations can use to meet their emission reductions targets.
One strategy includes the idea of international trading of emissions credits, where countries who will have no trouble meeting their goal could sell their surplus credits to those who are struggling to meet the target. The United States wants unlimited trading in credits.
Another mechanism involves a voluntary compliance fund, where parties can pay into a fund that will act as an agent to buy foreign credits to help them meet their emissions targets.
``They are woefully inadequate at addressing the issues,'' said Kim Webster, one of the group's protesters from England. Webster accused delegates of avoiding the ``real'' issues and called on them to increase spending on renewable energy sources.
``They need to stop talking about how to make money from climate change,'' she said.

Rep. Paul Gosar Votes Against NDAA
For Immediate Release:
Contact: Orlando Watson
Rep. Paul Gosar Votes Against NDAA
"I kept my promise to uphold and protect the Constitution"
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after voting against H.R. 1960 – the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2013 – for failing to include language which would have protected American citizens against indefinite detention:
"In voting against the NDAA, I kept my promise to uphold and protect the Constitution. I will not vote to continue policies that trample on our constitutional rights."
"I voted in favor of amendments to improve this bill's adherence to the Constitution."
"Standing in defense of the Constitution could not be more important today." Rep. Gosar continued, "We have witnessed, over the last several weeks, government abuses of power and an assault on our constitutional rights in the name of national security. My no vote addresses this and is a reminder that the Constitution serves as chains to bind the misuse of government."

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Somebody was paying me to write for a while, so it was tough to find the time to write for the blog here. But, as it turns out, I kinda suck, so they stopped paying me. So, I stopped writing. Cause and effect.
Which means you guys are now stuck with me. Just pretend I never skipped a beat.
So the Mets are 2-0. The pennant is within reach. Kinda. After a winter of financial news that would have depressed Mr. Met if he was on Prozac, an injury to a starting center fielder on Opening (FREAKING) Day, and a lineup that has a guy named Duda in it and a catcher with as much pop as an opened, three week old RC Cola, we are undefeated and have already clinched our first series win of the season. If my calendar reads correctly, its time for somebody on this blog (patterson, lowercase) to start talking about the wild card or some such nonsense, games over five hundred, our lead over the Marlins, or whatever. But let's take a step back and measure what really might be important to this team this season from what we have seen so far.
First, and foremost, David Wright is hitting. As one who believes the larger portion of his troubles have been mental, seeing him not only hit but stroke the ball to the opposite field means that maybe Wright has retrieved the aggressive, unafraid hitting style that highlighted the earlier portion of his career with the Mets. I firmly believe that Citi Field got in his head, then taking a fastball in the helmet got in his head, and then things spun out of control for David Wright. Getting going in the right direction could spell a big season for right.
Note that I didn't say the Wright Direction. It's a cheap pun. Nobody should use it. Ever. Except Andy Martino of the Daily News, because he kinda sucks anyway, so why not?
Second, the first two pitchers were solid if unspectacular. While some, myself included, speculated that a compilation of number four starters could not compete in this league, Santana and Dickey could form a competitive balance at the top of the rotation. Both can gut their way through the tougher parts of the game and get through some formidable lineups. How far they can get after early season pitch counts are lifted will be revealing, but early returns are promising. Up next is newly extended Jonathan Niese, then renowned headcase Michael "There's Salt On My Palms" Pelfrey, followed by Dillon Gee, who may prove to be not the least talented arm in this staff.
Its... sketchy from here on out. Niese is talented, but has never been a stand out for an entire season. Almost nothing Pelfrey did would surprise me. He could throw a perfect game. He could get knocked out in the first inning. He could sprain his ankle jumping over the foul line on his way out to the mound. Who knows. In my mind, he's the best chance for the Mets to get a no-hitter, or score a man from first on three consecutive balks. Neither would make me faint.
Gee could be extremely durable as a fifth starter. Against other teams' bottom of the barrel pitchers, he could hold up quite well. A double digit win in this slot is completely feasible for Gee, even if the team has a losing season.
So, how should optimistic Mets fans keep their emotions in check? Look at Jason Bay. Despite getting a hit on Saturday, he still looks like a lost puppy at the plate. He needs to come around, and soon, to avoid falling prey to the New York fans and media, which are circling him like fresh roadkill.
Take a gander at Ruben Tejada in the lead off spot, which we'll have to do until Torres returns from the DL. He's technically a batter because he holds a wooden stick while near the plate, but the similarities end there. Watching him wave at pitches and hit soft grounders all year will make us remember why we miss Jose Reyes. You remember him? NL Batting Champion last year? Tejada could spell a .100 point drop off at that position. Ouch.
A few wins at the beginning of the season is making me feel good, don't get me wrong. If everything continues to fall the Mets way, we may even play meaningful games well into the month of... July? I hope I'm wrong. I don't know. But for now, lets just focus on the growth of Lucas Duda as a power hitter, Wright's return as an elite hitter and, hopefully, his continued career as a Met, and the progress of some of the Mets pitching staff. As for now, we'll keep our eyes on that, and leave the outlandish optimism and predictions for somebody else.

A number of people have made comments to this effect, and that the windows install will hose your linux partition, too. There is an important difference: The windows installer offers to hose your linux partition and then does so when you click OK. It sounds like the current FC2 installer offers to set things up so they both work, and then proceeds to hose your windows partition. That's not cool at all.

text: REDMOND, Wash., June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CineTrailer, a pan-European app developed by DDM, an Italian digital media agency, has migrated its back-end technology to Windows Azure from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help users choose and view movies via the Web, mobile devices or connected TVs. The company has also built its app for optimization on Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. Since the migration to Windows Azure in 2012, the CineTrailer app has been downloaded more than 2.5 million times, and is available in 11 countries and in nine languages throughout Europe. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO) "Transitioning to Windows Azure has allowed us to change, evolve and scale rapidly to meet our customers' needs," said Marco Dufour, chief executive officer at DDM and head of development at CineTrailer. "It costs roughly half of what we were previously paying, and we don't have the costs associated with preparing and maintaining a dedicated database server. With Windows Azure all we need is a few lines of code and we can deploy our app in a fully scalable environment." The CineTrailer application enables users to watch a movie trailer and then find the nearest theater at which movie is playing via GPS. Users can also bookmark their favorite theaters and put a calendar alert to be reminded of the moment a desired movie is available for viewing. "Windows Phone was the original environment in which CineTrailer was born and we're particularly enthusiastic about it," said Camillo Morganti, chairman of the board of DDM. "Working with the platform turned out to be an easy task, thanks to the myriad of fantastic features the mobile OS offers, like Live Tiles and swipe interfaces. Windows 8, too, has been a natural evolution and a great way for us to seamlessly engage users on two environments at the same time: tablets and PCs." CineTrailer also decided to build its app for Windows 8 and Windows Phone because employees were already familiar with other Microsoft platforms before the deployment, having started their experience as professionals with Visual Studio, ASP and SQL Server and subsequently having transitioned to the .NET platform. This meant less time was needed for developers to get comfortable with the platforms and an increased focus could be placed on getting the product to market.

Claws bared in row over shelter for Auschwitz cat
OSWIECIM, Poland (Reuters Life!) - A cat living at the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz has caused fur to fly between an animal care group and Polish authorities refusing to allow a shelter to be built for it.
The grey and white cat, known variously as Rudolf or Bruno despite being female, can often be seen sitting near the notorious "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work sets you free") sign at the entrance to the camp.
She has seemed unperturbed by an unusually cold winter in Poland that has seen night temperatures dip as low as minus 34 Celsius (minus 29 Fahrenheit).
The museum that runs the camp has rejected a call from the group For Animals to build a cat shelter, saying other animals also live at the site and that visitors are its main priority.
"All we asked for was to erect a shelter, but we were refused," said Joanna Zaremba of the For Animals foundation.
A museum employee tried in vain to give the animal a home.
"The cat was not used to being indoors and the employee had to let her out to feel free. She came straight back (to the camp) like a boomerang, back to the 'Arbeit macht frei' gate," said Adam Cyra, another member of staff.
The cat is believed to have arrived at the camp about six months ago and started to attract the attention of visitors after Polish newspapers and websites reported on the animal's attachment to the site and the campaign to build a shelter.
"I came especially to see this cat as I've heard so much about it in the local media," one Polish visitor told Reuters Television. "I'm ready to adopt the cat and give her a home." Continued...

What It's Like to Spend a Month Standing Up
Sitting down for hours at a time, which many people do every day—at work, in the car, on the couch in front of the television—is bad for our health. Dan Kois, senior editor at Slate; co-host of Slate's parenting podcast, Mom & Dad Are Fighting; and New York magazine contributor, talks about standing up for a month straight. He wrote about the experience—and how it made his calves and kids unhappy—in "Sitting Is Bad for You. So I Stopped. For a Whole Month" in the June 9 issue of New York magazine.

Phil Robertson Breaks Silence & Doesn't Back Down on Homosexual Comments
His controversial comments regarding homosexuality and racism continue to make headlines, and now Phil Robertson is breaking his silence.
During a Bible study group in West Monroe, Louisiana on Sunday (December 22), the "Duck Dynasty" star finally spoke up about the backlash he received since his GQ interview went public.
"We are a bunch of rednecks from Louisiana, but I am not uneducated," Mr. Robertson stated. "I have a degree from Louisiana Tech. But this week I have been called an ignoramus."
Phil continued, "This week I have been asked, 'Is this the first time you have brought up sin?' I said 'Are you kidding? I have been traveling to and fro spreading this message.' Then he said, 'Well do you invite yourself to go and get your Bible and tell people what you are now sharing with us?' I said, 'No they are inviting me.'"
"I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater. I will not give or back off my path because you conquered death, Father, so we are not worried about all the repercussions," he added.
"Sex and immorality goes ballistic. All the diseases that just so happen to follow sexual mischief… boy there are some microbes running around now. Sexual sins are numerous and many, I have a few myself. So what is your safest course of action? If you're a man, find yourself a woman, marry them and keep your sex right there."
Meanwhile, the 67-year-old reality star has yet to comment about the fate of his hit A&E reality show following the network suspending him from filming "indefinitely."

He loves a good challenge, and Gerard Butler is in talks to join the cast of the forthcoming epic adventure "Gods of Egypt."
The Summit Entertainment project already snatched up "Game of Thrones" hunk Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and director Alex Proyas, but they'd love to snag the "300" stud as well.
He's always on the go, and yesterday (September 1) Gerard Butler caught a flight into LAX International Airport from Barbados.
The "PS I Love You" hunk looked a bit preoccupied as he chatted on his mobile phone and scurried through the terminal, though he did make sure to sign a few autographs along the way.
Looking to catch a little fun, Gerard Butler arrived at the Mondrian Hotel in Hollywood, CA on Wednesday evening (August 21).
The "300" hunk slipped out of her ride and hurried into the hotspot for a night of socializing.
Gearing up for another day of traveling, Gerard Butler arrived at Heathrow Airport in London, England to catch a flight to Los Angeles this morning (August 6).
The "Olympus Has Fallen" star looked handsome in a gray shirt, black leather jacket and green khakis as he made his way to board his awaiting flight.
Giving movie buffs a sneak peek of what's to come, Dreamworks Animation debuted a teaser trailer for "How to Train Your Dragon 2" on Saturday (July 13).
The sequel to the 2010 animated hit has an all-star cast, including Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, and Gerard Butler to voice the film's characters.
Gathering to watch tennis's finest, Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler were on hand at the All England Club for the Men's final at Wimbledon in London on Sunday (July 7).
Both actors looked dashing in their light blue suit jackets and ties as they took in the on-court action surrounded by celebrity counterparts such as Victoria Beckham and Prime Minister David Cameron.
Making the most of a beautiful evening, Gerard Butler stepped out in Rome, Italy with former girlfriend Madalina Ghenea last night (June 24).
The "PS I Love You" actor looked positively smitten with his on-again flame as they walked arm-in-arm and took photos of each other while shutterbugs looked on.
Heading to Europe to charm television audiences, Gerard Butler appeared on "Wetten, dass..?" at the Coliseo Balear in Mallorca, Spain on Saturday (June 8).
Wearing a leather jacket and black jeans, the "Olympus has Fallen" star seemed to be game for anything the zany show had to throw at him.

Hey guys,
I have been combing through some reference pictures, and I really studied the dent....who's helmet has the most accurate AOSW dent? I always thought that the mystery helmet had the most accurate dent. The TF helmet dent looks great as well. I can't speak for a FPH because I've never seen one up close. Though I absolutely LOVE the BM helmet, I don't think the dent is very accurate. Is it just me, do others feel the same? I know there was a HUGE fight about BM dent between MS and BM a long time ago. Hopefully, we can avoid anything like that .

Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thx Dan
