Ford Presenta El Paquete Sporty Ranger Fx2, Que Agrega Estilo Todoterreno Y Capacidad Para Camiones Con Tracción En Dos Ruedas
DEARBORN, Michigan, agosto de 2019 – Ford presenta el nuevo Paquete Ranger FX2 como otra opción para los clientes que desean un estilo y capacidad todoterreno en una oferta de tracción en dos ruedas.
“FX2 amplía las opciones de Ranger para los clientes que desean un estilo todoterreno resistente con la funcionalidad de un diferencial de bloqueo pero que no necesitan tracción en las cuatro ruedas”, dijo Brian Bell, gerente de marketing de Ford Ranger. “Esta es otra forma en que nuestros clientes pueden personalizar a Ranger para que coincida con su estilo de vida mientras obtienen un gran valor”.
Dirigido a mercados más urbanos, el Paquete FX2 se monta en neumáticos todoterreno de 17 o 18 pulgadas disponibles para agregar un estilo aún más resistente al Ranger con tracción en dos ruedas. Un protector delantero debajo de la carrocería y la eliminación de la presa de aire proporcionan aún más distinción, al tiempo que protegen la parte inferior de la carrocería y mejoran los ángulos de aproximación.
Además de la capacidad de tracción en las dos ruedas del Ranger, el Paquete FX2 incluye un diferencial trasero con bloqueo electrónico y una suspensión ajustada todoterreno para una mayor tracción y rendimiento fuera de carretera. La pantalla de clúster todoterreno de Ford se suma a la experiencia FX2 en el interior, donde los conductores pueden ver el cabeceo, el balanceo y el bandazo en tiempo real.
Apariencia resistente y no elecciones difíciles La demanda de opciones de personalización de Ranger continúa a u m e n t a n d o , con dos de cada tres compradores que optan por un Paquete de Apariencia Deportiva, un Paquete de Apariencia Chrome o un Paquete de Apariencia STX, mientras que uno de cada tres selecciona el Paquete Todoterreno FX4. Más de la mitad de los compradores de Ranger están eligiendo el Paquete de Remolque.
“Estamos viendo tendencias de ventas que nos dicen que aumentemos aún más la capacidad y las opciones de apariencia de Ranger”, dijo Chad Callander, gerente de marketing de consumo de Ford Ranger. “El paquete FX2 es el resultado de que escuchamos a nuestros clientes y lo que exigen de sus camiones”.
Ranger ofrece una amplia variedad de paquetes y opciones, incluido el nuevo Paquete de Black Appearance con detalles en negro y ruedas negras de alto brillo, el Paquete de Sport Appearance con detalles pintados en Gris Magnético y ruedas únicas y el Paquete de Chrome Appearance con detalles cromados en la carrocería y brillantes ruedas cromadas.
FX2 es la última incorporación a la oferta de capacidades de Ranger, que incluye el Paquete de Remolque con un arnés de cableado de 4 pines/7 pines y un receptor de enganche de remolque de Clase IV y el Paquete FX4 Off-Road con un diferencial trasero de bloqueo electrónico y un Sistema de Gestión del Terreno con Trail Control.
Todo comienza con Built Ford Tough Ford Ranger responde a la llamada de los clientes de camiones que buscan una camioneta mediana asequible, resistente y maniobrable que esté Fabricada Ford Tough. Probada en torturas junto con los camiones
Ford F-150, la calidad del Ranger comienza con una estructura de acero de alta resistencia, un motor comprobado EcoBoost ® de 2.3 litros fabricado por Ford y una transmisión automática de 10 velocidades exclusiva en su clase.

¡Lo malo se pega más rápido que lo bueno!
Recibí un mensaje privado en mi página de Facebook de Felipe Lucero de Arizona en respuesta a la columna “Ten paciencia con tu siembra” . En esa columna narro la historia de una amiga quien pensaba que todos los buenos consejos que le daba a su hija rebelde “entraban por un oído y salían por el otro”, pero cuando la chica se graduó con honores de universidad le dije a mi amiga: “¡Ya ves!, tus sermones, tus esfuerzos y ejemplo no fueron en vano, porque lo bueno se pega”.
Mi seguidor Felipe expresó algo muy importante que no puedo pasar por alto y quiero compartir contigo: “María olvidaste decir que los hijos no solamente aprenden de los aspectos positivos de sus padres sino que tambien aprenden los negativos”.
El padre de tres me confesó que suele ser muy impaciente con sus varones y que ciertas de sus actitudes ya se reflejan en ellos. “Cuando mi hijo mayor era bebé, me seguía cuando yo arreglaba cosas en la casa, pero yo no quería que estuviera a mi lado por temor a que fuera a romper algo. Hoy veo que fue un gran error. El niño hace lo mismo con su hermanito, no lo deja que se le acerque, es muy egoísta, tal como yo lo fui con él”, me contó Felipe quien me acordó que si pensamos que las cosas buenas que queremos inculcar germinarán en nuestros hijos, tenemos que tener presente que también las malas lo harán.
Así que si eres rápido para enfurecerte, notarás que tus hijos resuelven los problemas a gritos y portazos. Si eres irresponsable con tus finanzas verás que tus hijos no serán buenos administrando su dinero, y si eres impuntual, ellos serán desconsiderados con los demás.
Mira a tus hijos como una “versión mejorada” de ti. Controla esas cualidades tuyas que no te enorgullecen e incúlcales conductas que lograrán que sea amado y admirado por los demás. Exprésales tu amor sin vergüenza con acciones y palabras, para que estén en contacto con sus sentimientos; demuéstrales honestidad en cada uno de tus tratos, para que sean transparentes. Sé ejemplo de lo que deseas ver en tus hijos.
Así como lo malo se pega, ¡lo bueno también se pega!

Buzbee Campaign Sign Set on Fire, Buzbee Renews Call for Information Leading to the Arrest of Perpetrator
Another Tony Buzbee campaign sign was found defaced on Wednesday in Southeast Houston on Almeda Genoa at Lockcrest.
The sign had been burned by an unknown assailant. This follows months of Buzbee signs being defaced with swastikas. The Buzbee team has received several leads, but no arrests have been made.
In response to this latest act of vandalism, Buzbee said that “the defacement of our campaign signs, in any form, is completely unacceptable. It is unfathomable to me that someone feels the need to commit a crime, repeatedly, and to do so by using symbols of hate. If this person had any sense, they would realize that a much more constructive, and non-criminal, use of their time and resources would be going to the polls and voting on November 5th. This conduct is more a reflection on those committing these acts than on our campaign. We won’t be deterred or discouraged. We will replace the signs and move forward to positively change this great city.” Our campaign is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the charging and/ or arrest of the person or persons responsible for defacing our campaign signs.
Information may reported by calling (281) 888-7684 or emailing info@tonybuzbeeformayor.com
Players share historic moment with Janice McNair
Houston Texans Co-Founder and Senior Chair Janice S. McNair made history on Tuesday when she gifted $5 million to Pro-Vision Inc., a non-profit located in the Sunnyside Community in Houston. The donation, made through The Robert and Janice McNair Foundation, is not only the largest gift received by Pro-Vision, but also among the largest donations to support education, community relations and economic development in the National Football League.
“Everybody knows about the Houston Texans but, a lot of times, people don’t know about the things that they do behind the scenes, money that they have donated to this community,” Special Advisor to the Head Coach Andre Johnson said. “So it’s great, not only being the owner of a football team but being able to affect your community. To see them do this is a great thing.”
Several Texans players were on hand for the announcement and ribbon-cutting ceremony, as well as Pro-Vision CEO and Founder Roynell Young.
The donation will enhance the underserved Sunnyside community, by building housing for low-income community members, an on-site football field and track facility. A multi-purpose building was also unveiled on Tuesday.
The day was an emotional one for former Texans safety Andre Hal, who grew up in economic conditions similar to the ones in Sunnyside.
“Watching those kids quote ‘The Four Agreements,’ that’s one of my favorite books,” Hal said. “Seeing that made me realize that this is a perfect opportunity for these kids to grow and learn and become better humans.”
Johnathan Joseph called it a great day for Houston.
“It was really special because I know what the city of Houston means to her (McNair) and her family and how much Mr. (Robert) McNair put into this also,” Joseph said. “His passing I’m sure it was pretty emotional for her because obviously we’d love to have Bob here today, but his legacy lives on today through this also.”
In addition to the $5 million donation, the McNairs also gifted $450,000 to support Pro-Vision’s Urban Farm and Aquaponics Initiative. Pro-Vision Inc. is an organization that uses a four-component approach in their efforts to dismantle poverty through education, nutrition, character development and housing.
Established in 1988, The Robert and Janice McNair Foundation is focused on a different tomorrow. Janice McNair and her late husband Bob have long believed the greatest impact one can leave on the world is a dedicated focus on helping others through their mission, vision and values.
Rockets Announce 2019-20 Regular Season Schedule
The Houston Rockets today announced their schedule for the 2019-20 regular season. The Rockets posted the highest win total of any team over the past two seasons.
AT&T SportsNet will broadcast 70 of the Rockets 82 regular season games. The Rockets are scheduled to appear on national TV a total of 38 times this season (ABC: 5; ESPN: 11; TNT: 10; NBA TV: 12).
All games will once again be available on the radio broadcast home of the Houston Rockets, SportsTalk 790 KBME and NewsRadio 740 KTRH. In addition, the Rockets Spanish radio broadcast returns to La Ranchera KEYH 850 AM/KNTE 101.7 FM.
The Rockets will play their first three games at home, including the season opener vs. Milwaukee on Oct. 24. The last time the team opened a season with three straight home games was in 2005-06. From Oct. 30 through Nov. 11, Houston will play six of seven on the road, with the one home game coming against Golden State on Nov. 6.
On Nov. 13, the Rockets host the Los Angeles Clippers, marking the first of 10 home games over a 17-game span ending on Dec. 16. Following that stretch, Houston will play eight of 12 on the road, including a Christmas Day game at Golden State and Russell Westbrook’s return to Oklahoma City on Jan. 9.
The Rockets have a season-high four-game homestand from Jan. 15 through Jan. 22, including their only home game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 18. Houston then plays four straight on the road before hosting five of seven at Toyota Center heading into All-Star break.
Post All-Star break, Houston will play 12 of its first 20 games on the road, including a season-long five-game trip from March 23-31. The Rockets close out the regular season by playing six of their final eight games at home with the finale vs. Memphis on April 15.
Houston has 11 back-to-backs this season, eight of which come prior to All-Star break. The final two back-to-backs occur in April when the Rockets finish the season by playing seven games in 11 days.
The Rockets will play 13 games on Monday (7 home), nine on Tuesday (5 home), 15 on Wednesday (8 home), 10 in Thursday (4 home), 10 on Friday (4 home), 14 on Saturday (8 home), and 11 on Sunday (5 home).
Over the course of the season, the Rockets will face each NBA team at least once at home and once on the road, including Western Conference opponents twice both home and away, except for the following: L.A. Lakers (1 home, 2 road), Oklahoma City (2 home, 1 road), Sacramento (2 home, 1 road), and Utah (1 home, 2 road).

Davy Arnaud focused on “winning every day” to turn Houston Dynamo around
There’s a lot going on around Davy Arnaud right now, but the newly-minted interim head coach of the Houston Dynamo is focused on only one thing: the present.
After his appointment to the job following the release of Wilmer Cabrera, Arnaud didn’t have time to think through the personal and professional ramifications of taking the reigns as an MLS head coach for the first time.
“My focus has solely been on what can I do right now, what can we do right now to affect this organization in a positive way,” the 39-year-old said in a press conference following his first training session in charge. “Our goal as a club is what we can do to affect this group in a positive way to turn this thing around.”
The Dynamo have struggled to pick up points after starting the MLS regular season with a club-best 7-2-2 record. They have gone 2-11-1 since and fallen precipitously in the Western Conference standings as a result.
With nine games remaining, Houston is still just six points below the playoff line and faces a challenging, but winnable slate of games as they battle to return to postseason play. That would be the ultimate goal, but nobody’s thoughts are on October yet.
“To prepare for that, we need to win every single day,” Arnaud said. “The small goal for us is to go out to be great in training tomorrow and prepare well the next day, with the ideal thing being to get a positive result on Saturday against Colorado. If we can continue to do that daily, we can ultimately be back in a playoff spot.”
Arnaud was born and raised in Nederland, Texas – an hour and a half east of Houston in the “Golden Triangle” near the Texas-Louisiana border – and starred at West Texas A&M University for three years before beginning an accomplished 14-year career in MLS.
The midfielder/forward moved to the sidelines in 2016 as an assistant at D.C. United, then moved back home to join the Dynamo’s staff in 2017. General manager/senior vice president Matt Jordan said Wednesday morning that Arnaud “has the respect of all the players and staff” and will bring a “fresh perspective” for the final nine games of the regular season.
It’s unlikely that Arnaud will implement wholesale changes to the team in his interim position. While acknowledging that he – like any coach – has his own ideas and beliefs, with only a few days to prepare for his first game instead of a six-week preseason camp his job at the moment is to make tweaks and solidify what the team is already doing instead of introducing something completely new.
“We’ve had success with this group of players playing a certain type of way,” he explained. “We just need to get back to doing those things and fix the things we’ve struggled with lately.”
Arnaud stressed that he believes in the group of players they have assembled on the roster, pointing out that it’s still the same team that got off to that hot start in the spring. He wants to put confidence back in the group, for them to believe in themselves that they can turn it around.
That mentality starts with Arnaud and the energy that he and the rest of the coaching staff bring to the training field each day, trickling down to the players to carry into the weekend for the final stretch of the season.
“I’m a driven and passionate person, and I hope that you can see that in the way the players play,” he said. “The more you’re around the team and the more you approach the team as a head coach, they start to take on what your values are. That’s my hope – that you see that as soon as possible.”
“Will it happen overnight? No, but we’re going to be doing everything we can to move back in the right way.”
