RealTime Racing Acuras Dominate Road America

June 27, 2016

Ryan Eversley led a 1-2 sweep for Acura Saturday at Road America.

ELKHART LAKE, Wisconsin, June 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Acura’s Ryan Eversley swept into the lead in the run to the first turn, and never looked back, heading a 1-2 finish for Acura Motorsports and RealTime Racing in Saturday’s Pirelli World Challenge race at Road America. Teammate Peter Cunningham completed the sweep, bringing his Acura TLX GT home second in the first of two races this weekend at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

Starting on the outside of front row, second, Eversley outran the Bentley of pole qualifier Adderly Fong on the long Road America front straight, taking his Acura TLX GT into a lead he would hold throughout the 50-minute contest. Eversley completed a dominating performance by setting fastest race lap, gaining the pole position for Sunday’s follow-up race.

“I had a good start, but so did Adderly,” Eversley said. “I have to thank the Acura V6 turbo horsepower for getting us into the lead. Then, as we went into Turn Five, I saw him lock up the brakes and slide down the escape road. After that, I concentrated on keeping ‘Mr. Road America’ [teammate Cunningham] behind me, and completing a great day for RealTime Racing and Acura.”

Cunningham, starting third, fought with Fong through the downhill straight into Turn Five, taking second place when Fong locked his brakes and briefly ran wide at the corner exit. Once in second, Cunningham held off Fong, the Porsche of Patrick Long, and the rest of the GT field to pull clear by some three seconds and complete the 1-2 finish for Acura at the “home track” for the RealTime Racing team, which is based in nearby Saukville, Wisconsin.

“It’s a dream come true to finish one-two in front of all our fans and supporters here at Road America,” Cunningham said. “It definitely hasn’t been an easy path. There were so many hours of work and development from everyone at Honda Performance Development and RealTime, and this is an awesome result. The atmosphere here has been incredible all weekend. It couldn’t have happened at a better place.”

Developed from the production Acura TLX by HPD and RealTime Racing, the Acura TLX GT features HPD chassis and aerodynamic performance parts approved for Pirelli World Challenge competition. It is powered by a direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine, developed by HPD from the production Acura TLX.

Video recaps from this weekend’s Acura Pirelli World Challenge and Honda Verizon IndyCar Series racing activities at Road America are being posted on the “Honda Racing/HPD” YouTube channel.

Verizon enhances network for Republican and Democratic convention delegates, media and visitors

June 27, 2016

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 27, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In anticipation of record data usage by the tens of thousands of visitors to this year’s national political conventions, Verizon has made significant enhancements to its network in the host cities and convention facilities.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7814951-verizon-rnc-dnc-network/

“We know sharing the convention experience is important for visitors to Cleveland and Philadelphia so we have invested millions of dollars and worked for several years on upgrading our networks and adding capacity for these events,” said Lynn Ramsey, Vice President Network Operations – Verizon.

Enhancing the network in Cleveland, Ohio

When the Republican National Convention (RNC) arrives in Cleveland July 18-21, Verizon will have completed improvements to the city’s #1 overall network as rated by RootMetrics* in a recent Metro Rootscore^® report.

Verizon is doubling the network capacity to its neutral host Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at Quicken Loans Arena, the main convention facility. A DAS system consists of a series of smaller antennas networked together throughout a venue. Specifically for the RNC, new on-the-floor antenna sectors will be added to provide coverage for delegates. Verizon’s existing small cells covering the surrounding areas – including the arena parking lots – were also upgraded to double the network capacity.

New indoor wireless DAS systems were also installed at the Cleveland Convention Center (including the downtown Hilton Hotel), the Ritz Carlton, Tower City Center and JACK Casino facilities. Network optimization and new small cell sites will enhance Verizon’s network peak speeds and capacity in key convention areas, such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia

For the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Philadelphia on July 25-28, major upgrades to Verizon’s networks in downtown Philadelphia for the historic Pope Francis visit in 2015 have remained in place. Network capacity was quadrupled for the visit with upgrades including 11 miles of new fiber optic cable, new cell sites and a system of small cells in the downtown area, as well as capacity enhancements at the airport, downtown hotels and SEPTA stations.

At the Wells Fargo Center, Verizon has installed a system to improve capacity by more than 550 percent, which is equal to more than six times greater capacity than before. Outside the center, a temporary cell site known as a Cell on Wheels (COW) will add capacity in Parking Lot E. To better serve surrounding parking lots, additional small cells and network capacity have been added at nearby Lincoln Financial Field.

Verizon has installed new fiber at multiple locations in downtown Philadelphia, including Independence Mall and The National Constitution Center, for use by broadcast media covering the convention. New fiber was also added to the Wells Fargo Center, doubling the capacity at the facility for broadcast media and other connectivity needs.

Network monitoring and reliability measures

Verizon will monitor network operations 24/7 at both the RNC and DNC. Each convention will feature a special command center that will house technicians and engineers who will communicate directly with the public safety officials and convention organizers in the case of severe weather or other emergency.

Verizon prepares year-round with emergency response plans and the network is engineered with reliability features such as on-site back-up battery power at cell sites and generator capabilities in the event of a service disruption.

A key contributor to Verizon’s network success is its consistent capital investment in its wireless network to lead in innovation and stay ahead of customers’ demands. Since 2000, Verizon has invested more than $111 billion across the U.S. to provide its customers with a reliable network for voice calls, multimedia communication, media consumption and interactive gaming.

Your experiences may vary. The RootMetrics award is not an endorsement of Verizon. Visit www.rootmetrics.com for more details.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ), headquartered in New York City, generated nearly $132 billion in 2015 revenues. Verizon operates America’s most reliable wireless network, with 112.6 million retail connections nationwide. The company also provides communications and entertainment services over America’s most advanced fiber-optic network, and delivers integrated business solutions to customers worldwide.

RealTime Racing Acuras Dominate Road America

Ryan Eversley followed up his victory Saturday at Road America with a second Pirelli World Challenge race win Sunday in Elkhart Lake, Wis.

ELKHART LAKE, Wisconsin, June 26, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Acura’s Ryan Eversley completed a sweep of the Pirelli World Challenge doubleheader race weekend at Road America, adding a second flag-to-flag victory in Sunday’s 50-minute race to his equally dominant winning performance on Saturday.

In Saturday’s opener, Eversley swept into the lead in the run to the first turn, and never looked back, heading a 1-2 finish for Acura Motorsports and RealTime Racing. Teammate Peter Cunningham completed the sweep, bringing his Acura TLX GT home second in the first of this weekend’s two races at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

Starting on the outside of front row, second, Eversley outran the Bentley of pole qualifier Adderly Fong on the long Road America front straight, taking his Acura TLX GT into a lead he would hold throughout the 50-minute contest. Eversley completed a dominating performance by setting fastest race lap, gaining the pole position for Sunday’s follow-up race.

On Sunday, Eversley briefly lost the lead to rival Bryan Heitkotter in the run from the green flag to Turn One, but had regained the advantage by Turn Three and, once again, was never headed, taking the checkers by 2.623 seconds over Fong for his second victory of the weekend.

“Our results this weekend reinforce the image of Acura as a performance brand, against the likes of Audi, Ferrari, and Mercedes,” said Art St. Cyr, president of Honda Performance Development. “Congratulations to Ryan, Peter, everyone at RealTime Racing and HPD for a dominating performance. Ryan’s victory sweep this weekend and Peter’s second and fourth-place finishes, at their home track, was a definite ‘feel good’ story. We look forward to our own ‘home track’ appearance next month at Mid-Ohio, where we hope to build on these results.”

The wins were the first of the season for Eversley, and the second and third GT class victories of his Pirelli Word Challenge career.

“I can’t say ‘thanks’ enough to everyone at Acura, RealTime Racing and Honda Performance Development,” Eversley said at the end of Sunday’s race. “This has been an unbelievable weekend, unreal. Brian [Heitkotter] had a great start and beat me into Turn One. Fortunately, I was able to get a run on him going into [Turn] Three and pass him back. He had another good run at me going into Turn Five, but I was able to out-brake him there, and eventually he dropped back. This track really suits the TLX GT, but we’ve had to work hard. We found some setup things in a test here a couple of weeks ago that I think made the difference for us this weekend. I race for the best team, and the best company, in the world.”

Starting third on Sunday in his RealTime Racing Acura TLX GT, Cunningham fell to fifth on the opening lap after minor contact with Fong, but recovered to finish fourth.

“To finish fourth today is a good effort. Obviously, would have preferred to be on the podium, but we didn’t have quite as good a run as yesterday,” Cunningham recounted. “At the start, I had to lift to make room for [Adderly] Fong going into Turn One, and we still made some light contact. After that, the car was a little nervous entering Turn One and the [Turn 9-10] Carousel, and we just didn’t have quite enough to run at the front. Still, it’s a great day for Acura, HPD and RealTime, and to cheer on Ryan [Eversley] for his win.”

Developed from the production Acura TLX by HPD and RealTime Racing, the Acura TLX GT features HPD chassis and aerodynamic performance parts approved for Pirelli World Challenge competition. It is powered by a direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine, developed by HPD from the production Acura TLX.

Video recaps from this weekend’s Acura Pirelli World Challenge and Honda Verizon IndyCar Series racing activities at Road America are being posted on the “Honda Racing/HPD” YouTube channel.

DENVER, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For the second year in a row, agents affiliated with RE/MAX far outnumber their competitors in the 2016 Top 250 Latino Agents ranking. This year, 61 RE/MAX agents were recognized, an impressive 60% more than the closest competitor. The fifth annual ranking released by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) is based on 2015 sales performance.

“It’s a tremendous honor to have so many RE/MAX affiliates ranked among America’s top Latino agents. This is a powerful acknowledgment of their hard work, expertise and dedication,” said Geoff Lewis, RE/MAX, LLC President. “To have such strong representation of RE/MAX among the best Latino agents, year after year, is an indication of the outstanding customer service they provide to their home buying and selling clients.”

The number of agents included in the NAHREP Top 250 representing the national franchise brands demonstrates the significant performance of those affiliated with RE/MAX.

Century 21	38
Keller Williams	27
Coldwell Banker	16
ERA	11
Berkshire Hathaway	3

According to NAHREP there are 50,000 Latino professionals in the real estate industry. The Top 250 is compiled each year through a broker affirmed self-nomination process. This year, NAHREP received 700 agent nominations – the largest number since the ranking began in 2012. The top five RE/MAX agents and the number of their 2015 closed transaction sides are:

403 – Mario Negron, RE/MAX Prestige, Houston New Home Team, Houston, TX
174 – Veronica Figueroa, RE/MAX Innovation, Orlando, FL
172 – Monica Foster, RE/MAX Space Center, Clear Lake, TX
162 – Christian Fuentes, RE/MAX Top Producers, Diamond Bar, CA
156 – Nate Martinez, RE/MAX Professionals, Glendale, AZ

In March this year, NAHREP released its sixth annual State of Hispanic Homeownership Report that showed Hispanic homeownership was on the rise despite a decline in overall homeownership rates in the U.S. The Top 250 ranking is also intended to recognize agents who are providing expert guidance to those seeking to become homeowners.

“Along with the annual Top 250 ranking, NAHREP is having a huge impact on our industry with its homeownership and Hispanic wealth reports. RE/MAX is honored to support these efforts as a national sponsor and to have so many of our agents recognized in the Top 250,” added Lewis.

Other national surveys also find that RE/MAX agents average more sales than their competitors. Agents affiliated with RE/MAX brokerages participating in the 2016 REAL Trends 500 were among the most productive in the survey, averaging more than 17 transaction sides.

SACRAMENTO, California, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), the world’s largest Hispanic Christian organization, which serves as a representative voice for the more than 100 million Hispanic Evangelicals assembled in over 40,000 U.S. churches and hundreds of thousands of additional congregations spread worldwide throughout the Spanish-speaking diaspora, made the following statement today regarding the Supreme Court of the United States of America’s decision to block President Barack Obama’s immigration plan:

“Today’s Supreme Court decision is a reminder that members of Congress need to work swiftly to pass bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform.

“While President Obama’s executive actions would have provided temporary relief, we have always needed and continue to need a legislative solution.

“Now is the time for Speaker Paul Ryan to take the lead in advancing non-amnesty reform that will secure our borders, stop illegal immigration, facilitate a legal immigration system while integrating those currently in the shadows in a manner that reconciles the rule of law with our Judeo Christian values.”

The NHCLC is the largest Hispanic Christian organization representing millions of Evangelicals and more than 40,000 U.S. churches. Seeking to reconcile evangelist Billy Graham’s message of salvation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march of prophetic activism, the NHCLC emphasizes “7 Directives” of Life, Family, Compassionate Evangelism, Stewardship, Justice, Education and Youth.
