Momentum Philippines Creates Country's First Plant Billboard for Coca-Cola and WWF
Momentum Philippines, gives Manila commuters a breath of fresh air by creating the country's first plant billboard that helps protect the environment. This breakthrough project was launched by Coca-Cola and World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF). Momentum Philippines also collaborated with Coca-Cola's other agencies including: McCann Erickson Philippines and Starcom MediaVest Group on the "Living" billboard.
The 60x60 ft. plant billboard utilizes the most creative and innovative eco-friendly mechanisms. Located in the heart of Manila's busiest street, the billboard uses 3,600 pots of thriving Fukien tea plants, which absorb air pollutants. Each plant can absorb an average of 13 pounds of carbon dioxide a year (which is an annual total of 46,800 pounds of dissolved toxic chemicals.) Recycled Coca-Cola bottles were used as pots; all filled with a mixture of industrial by-products and organic fertilizers. A drip irrigation system, also known as trickle irrigation or micro-irrigation, was installed for efficient water distribution. This irrigation method saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, providing them with what they need when they need it.
"We are proud that we have brought to life the first plant billboard in the country. It is an embodiment of our company's Live Positively commitment to making a positive difference in the world by incorporating sustainability into everything that we do. With this, we hope to inspire Filipinos to join us in our journey, because we know that together, we can make a positive impact," said Guillermo Aponte, president of Coca-Cola Philippines.
Majo Tomas, head of Momentum Philippines, said: "We wanted to create a campaign that will make an impact amidst Manila's jungle of out-of-home ads. With the positive attention the plant billboard is getting, we are confident that we will fulfill the campaign's ultimate objective to encourage Filipinos to be active participants in making a positive impact to the environment. That will be Momentum's biggest achievement- to transform not only out-of-home advertising, but also the Filipinos' mindset and ways as well."
"This is an incredibly creative effort and exemplifies the innovation across Momentum's offices," said Momentum Worldwide Chairman and CEO Chris Weil. "Our agency has transformed itself from an events and promotions shop into one of the leading marketing IDEAS agencies around the world. I am proud of the team in the Philippines and also very excited about the other big platform ideas that we are generating to capture the attention of the consumer on behalf of our clients."
Momentum Worldwide is a leading ideas agency with expertise across the marketing spectrum. Our philosophy: Today there is no wall between the physical and digital worlds. What happens in one creates an echo in the other. We call this The Phygital World, it is where modern consumers live and it is at the heart of everything we do. With this in mind, we make the digital world tangible and the physical world limitless. In doing so we add a new layer, a Phygital dimension, that creates greater value and engagement for our clients and consumers. We collaborate globally to deliver our best Phygital™ solutions in over 50 countries for our partners including American Express, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Coca-Cola, Nestle, Microsoft, Kraft, William Grant & Sons and Subway, among others.

My concept project incorporates the exploration of visual and sonic relationships produced by ecosystemic data mapping. More specifically, I'm interested how distinct spaces sharing a common boundary (e.g. rooms in a building or buildings within a university) could be melded into a common space, or "composite audiovisual ecosystem."
I would use microphones to track the sonic profiles of multiple distinct environments, preferably public spaces--libraries, hallways, cafes, playgrounds, etc. Using custom software, I would extract frequency and amplitude information from these signals in realtime and transform them into a series of data streams. These fluctuating data streams would be structurally coupled to various sound parameters of the audio signals being tracked, as well as video of the environments. This would form a "net" of data connections among the various spaces. This "net" of data couplings would enable the characteristic sounds events of each respective environment to induce change in the audio and video signals of the others, thus informing the overall audiovisual output of the piece. (The audiovisual output would include multiple realtime video projections as well as a multichannel speaker array.) In effect, the composite audiovisual output would represent the interactive intersection of multiple spaces in a single environment.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
this wiki
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is an American live-action television series created, based on the 16th installment of the Japanese Super Sentai franchise, Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. Both the show and its merchandise catapulted into pop culture in mere months from its U.S. debut in 1993. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in its original form ran until 1996, and even spawned a feature film. The series still airs today, but since 1996 has been renamed for each season, with a new cast and new storylines every season.
The series was spoofed on Sesame Street with the "Super Morphin Mega Monsters," a recurring sketch in the 1990s.
The Walt Disney Company owned the Power Rangers series during the 2000's due to a package transaction for the acquisition of ABC Family in October 2001, which placed it under the same ownership as the Muppets characters during the time period of 2004 to 2009. In May 2010, Disney sold the series back to its original owner, media mogul Haim Saban, legally separating it from the Muppets once more.
- Paul Goddard played Dave in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995)
- Brittany Curran appeared in an episode of Power Rangers Wild Force (2002)
- Barbara Goodson voiced Rita Repulsa, Orbus, and other villains in various Power Rangers incarnations

dhampire's slaying nazi's what could be better
the year is 1930-ish WWII is approaching and you are agent bloodrayne a sexy dhampire who's gonna kill all the nazi's but
first you might want to kill so mutants in louisiana heres my review of bloodrayne.
if i had to list the top games that were the most fun bloodrayne would rank somewhere near #1 this game is pretty much
everything you want in a video game. gameplay is simple find enemies kill them in various ways and move on the game is very
short which makes it better because a long game would just bore the living crap out of us. along the lines of weapons there
are three basic the blades bloodrayne has on her including her harpoon which tends to be useless a variation of guns from
pistol to machine gun to shot gun which you can grab of dead guys, and bloodrayne's teeth yes her teeth you can bite enmies
to regain health making the game even better.the graphics and controls would be my only complaints the graphics are okay
expected for a 2002 release but in 2009 they look pretty crappy but i have never really let grpahics hurt a games score and
of course the controls they are a little hard to get r1 is your main attack button which at first may confuse you if you
aren't used to that which i doubt you are anyways it's about time i wrapped this up bloodrayne for the ps2 gets a 5/5.

Thank you for creating this tutorial thread, Scott.
I just stumbled upon it, and look forward to it's completion.
Just for posterity; You stated that you removed .obj hair references from the tut in post #9. I would like to make a correction for your edification.
All hair is .obj hair (painted, and dynamics aside; Which may, or may not be as well) in reference to the basic hair you are discussing. HR2, PP2, and CR2 are all format styles which include the .obj (hair mesh model prop) either included in the file itself, or referenced out to a called upon location.
OBJ (.obj) hair prop as yet another option is viable, but mostly obscure to the masses. Generally, approximately 95% of end users don't utilize this, because they purchase, or acquire freebies that are already in one of the aforementioned formats with the .obj included. But, for those 5%, like myself, the last .obj hair prop option is directly importing prop (usually modeled by oneself) for use on selected avatar.
This is not the norm, and you probably don't need to include it in the tutorial set. I just thought I would mention it, so you could differentiate what some might have been trying to point out regarding all the hair variables. You already covered the differences between conforming, and static hair props. The OBJ hair prop (.obj import) falls under static hair prop.

Lance Briggs On Jermichael Finley: He's An Idiot
News Desk
Follow @ SportsTalkFLA
Packers tight end Jermichael Finley's thoughts on the absence of Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher have made their way to Chicago.
Finley said that he thought the Bears defense might be better off with Urlacher sidelined by a hamstring injury. Bears linebacker Lance Briggs made it abundantly clear that he doesn't think much of Finley's thoughts about the unit.
"He's an idiot," Briggs said, via Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times. "Just suit up and play ball.

|Businessman, Investor, Politician

Marson Blair Hull (born September 3, 1942) is an American businessman, investor, Democratic politician, and philanthropist.
Hull founded Hull Trading Company in 1985 and served as the firm's Chairman and chief executive officer before selling it to Goldman Sachs in 1999 for $531 million. The company, which leveraged technological innovations and quantitative models, was one of the world's premier market-making firms, trading on 28 exchanges in nine countries. Hull went on to found Ketchum Trading, LLC, in 2008, a proprietary trading firm that trades and provides liquidity in futures, options, cash equities and exchange-traded funds. In 2013, Hull founded Hull Tactical Asset Allocation, LLC. HTAA operates an actively managed ETF and utilizes advanced algorithms as well as macro and technical indicators to anticipate future market returns.
Trader Monthly recognized him for having executed one of "The 40 Greatest Trades of All Time," and Worth Magazine named him one of "Wall Street's 25 Smartest Players." Hull has also been honored by The Options Industry Council as the 2014 recipient of the "Joseph W. Sullivan Options Industry Achievement Award" in recognition of his outstanding lifetime contributions to the growth and integrity of the U.S. options market.
A longtime political activist and donor, Blair Hull sought the Illinois Democratic Party's nomination as candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2004 as a champion of universal healthcare and efficiency in government. Barack Obama ultimately won that primary. Blair Hull remains active in the political arena as both an activist and donor.

Early life and education[edit]
Early years[edit]
Blair Hull was born in 1942, the son of Marson Hull and Jean Matlock Hull, and raised in Los Gatos, California—near what would later be called Silicon Valley. After completing high school, Hull went to work on the assembly line of a cannery factory to help support his family, ultimately joining Union Local 679 and earning himself a union card by the age of 19.
During the Vietnam buildup, Hull served six years in the United States Army. After reaching the rank of lieutenant and completing his military service, Blair Hull turned to the classroom, teaching high school level math and physics before becoming a student again himself and going on to higher education with the GI Bill, as his father had done before him.
He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, his MBA from Santa Clara University and graduated from the Harvard OPM Program.
While working full-time at a manufacturing company, Hull tested his mathematical and analytical skills at the blackjack tables in Las Vegas, where he proved to be a skilled and disciplined player. Hull took his accumulated winnings to the Pacific Stock Exchange, then to the Chicago financial exchanges. Once there, he established himself as a pioneer in the trading industry, revolutionizing the financial markets through the use of innovative models and state-of-the-art technology.
As Founder of Hull Trading Company, Blair Hull built a business from scratch in Illinois, created hundreds of jobs, and grew his company into one of the most successful trading firms in the country.
Beating the Odds[edit]
Trained in mathematics and computer science, Hull applied his skills to the Las Vegas blackjack tables in the 1970s. He beat the odds—or, rather, beat the house by shifting the odds in his favor—by devising intricate mathematical formulas that called for a skilled team of card players to help determine when and how to bet in blackjack. The team consistently turned a profit. Their story is outlined in the book, "The Big Player" by Ken Uston.
- "When Hull played blackjack, he saw it not as a risk-taking endeavor but rather "a clear financial opportunity that other people did not see." With the right system, blackjack became a positive-expectation game: Statistically speaking, Hull had to win (over the long haul at least). Similarly, he would have been loath to enter the options market without what he perceived as an advantage. At the Pacific Exchange, Hull's equivalent to card counting was the exploitation of his computer-generated theoretical-value sheets. Based on an option-pricing model of Hull's own invention (similar to the Black-Scholes model, though he was unaware of their work at the time), the sheets told him what each option was truly worth at a particular stock price—and he would buy or sell accordingly to exploit the spread. The system worked." -MBA Jungle
Hull left the blackjack tables with $25,000 and took his winnings to the markets—first leasing a seat on the Pacific Stock Exchange, then starting a firm on the Chicago financial exchanges.
Business career[edit]
Hull Trading Company[edit]
- Hull Trading Company 1985–1999
Blair Hull founded Hull Trading Company in 1985 and served as the firm's chairman and CEO.
The company was a global leader in the application of computer technology to listed derivatives trading. Hull developed a proprietary and large scale reliable distributed system architecture, providing automatic real-time pricing, risk management, market making and interconnection with automated options, futures and stock exchanges as they became available. Hull's massively scalable software technology was deployed to cover both domestic and international markets as electronic, on-line exchanges became available, while innovative hand-held computer technology was employed at exchanges still requiring execution by floor traders.
- "The trading room at Hull headquarters looks like NASA mission control. Powerful workstations process streams of financial data, flashing advice to the handhelds carried by Hull traders at the CBOE and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). Different workstations track the firm's risk profile, sending handheld-equipped traders at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange instructions about how to use futures contracts to hedge trades being made at the CBOE and the CBOT.
- 'The goal of this remarkable technological firepower is simple: not to take big risks but to find sure things. Hull's computers search the markets for temporary price imperfections, devise transactions to profit from the imperfections, and hedge those bets to protect against other risks. It's a lot like blackjack. "All you need is a mathematical advantage and the controls to ensure that you stay in the game," Hull argues. "Everything else takes care of itself." -Fast Company
The firm grew to over 250 employees including financial engineers, physicists, almost 100 software engineers and computer support staff. At its peak, Hull Trading Company moved nearly a quarter of the entire daily market volume on some markets, executed over 7% of the index options traded in the United States, 3% of the equity options, and 1% of all shares traded daily on the New York Stock Exchange.
- "His computers trade stocks faster than the human eye can see them scroll on a screen. The system is designed to predict patterns that will unfold in the market over periods as short as two minutes. In a business that isn't normally modest about its technological savvy, Hull and his automated trading shop are the envy of Wall Street's top firms." – Worth Magazine
In 1999, Blair Hull sold his company to Goldman Sachs for $531 million.

Political career[edit]

He has served on the national foundation board of NARAL Pro-Choice America, and has been actively involved with Planned Parenthood, Emily's List, and Voters for Choice. In Illinois, Hull has been recognized by the Illinois General Assembly for his lifelong advocacy and dedication to protecting the rights of all women, and has been honored as a Lifetime Activist by Personal PAC, Illinois' largest and most influential pro-choice organization. Blair Hull, along with his daughter, also played a critical role in the landmark Supreme Court decision surrounding Title IX, Cohen vs. Brown University which leveled the playing filed for women in sports. Hull served on the Board of the Women's Sports Foundation, and he endowed the first Chair in Women's Studies at his alma mater, University of California, Santa Barbara
- LGBT causes
Blair Hull is a strong voice in favor of gay rights and greater equality.

Hull has also been a generous supporter of the Human Rights Campaign, Equality Illinois, Lambda Legal Defense Fund, and Test Positive Aware Network.
- Donor
Blair Hull has been a longtime financial supporter of Democratic causes and candidates across the country campaigning for a wide range of local, state, and national offices.
2004 U.S. Senate race[edit]
Blair Hull ran in the 2004 Illinois Democratic Primary to be the party's United States Senate nominee. The Senate seat had been vacated by retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald. Hull's candidacy brought a unique background to the crowded Democratic field.
- "...As a former high school teacher, union worker, and board member of NARAL, [Hull] appeals to important Democratic constituencies; as the lone veteran in the field, he can oppose the war in Iraq unquestioned. His unusual life story, too, sets Hull apart from the drab lawyers, state representatives, and political scions who normally pursue office in Illinois." – Atlantic Monthly[2]
2004 Democratic Candidates, US Senate for Illinois
- Blair Hull
- Barack Obama
- Gery Chico
- Dan Hynes
- Maria Papas
- Nancy Skinner
- Joyce Washington
Hull was unique among the candidate field: he was an Army veteran, had been a card-carrying union member, had taught students as a high school math teacher, and was a successful businessman who had built a business and created jobs in Illinois. During the campaign, Hull railed against the corporate special interests and their influence in Washington. He advocated universal healthcare, greater efficiency in government, campaign finance reform, and re-importation of prescription drugs.
Hull garnered nationwide attention for inviting scores of prescription-drug dependent senior citizens to travel with him aboard his campaign buses across the US/ Canada border to Windsor, Ontario to purchase their medications at dramatically lower prices. The trips served to focus media attention on the rising costs of American healthcare, and to frame the debate as the campaign moved forward.
Hull largely self-funded his campaign for Senate, spending a record $29 million of his own money on the race.
Barack Obama succeeded in winning the election, Blair Hull finished third. Hull remains active in Democratic politics, both as an activist and a donor.
Academic Publications[edit]
White Paper: A Practitioner's Defense of Return Predictability: by Blair Hull and Xiao Qiao, May 23, 2015
Abstract: "We revisit the issue of return predictability and show there is substantial predictive power in combining forecasting variables. Drawing from twenty variables that have been proposed in the return predictability literature, we use correlation screening to combine the variables and demonstrate forecasting power at the six-month horizon. We illustrate the economic significance of return predictability through a walk forward simulation in which positions in SPY are taken proportional to the model forecast equity risk premium. Our simulated strategy yields annual returns more than twice that of the buy-and-hold strategy, and a Sharpe ratio four times as large. To eliminate look-ahead bias, we further perform the simulation including variables as they are discovered in the literature, and find similar annual returns and Sharpe ratios. Although a market-timing strategy outperforms the market, it is difficult to implement. We include a detailed discussion on the various difficulties in implementing such a market-timing strategy." [3]

Chicago Cubs great Ron Santo dies at age 70
CHICAGO Ron Santo's love for the Chicago Cubs stretched from his days as a standout third baseman who one season even jumped and clicked his heels to celebrate victories to the two decades he spent unabashedly pulling for his team as a broadcaster.
As much as his passion for the Cubbies soothed their long-suffering fans, his play and work in the broadcast booth helped him, too, through tough times and serious ailments, including a bout with diabetes that cost him both legs below the knees. He called the Cubs, simply, his therapy.
Santo, who had finished his 21st season broadcasting the Cubs in September, died Thursday night in Arizona from complications of bladder cancer, according to the team and WGN Radio, his longtime employer. He was 70.
"Ron was an inspiration to everyone as his life was defined by overcoming obstacles. It is a sad day for all of Chicago and everyone in the sports world," said Chicago Blackhawks president John McDonough, who spent 24 years in the Cubs organization as a marketing guru and later as president. "His incredible passion for the Cubs was unmatched. ...Although we collectively are grieving over his passing, we should also celebrate his incredible life."
A nine-time all-star in his 15-year career, Santo hit .277 with 2,254 hits, 342 home runs and 1,331 runs batted in. He also won the Gold Glove award five times.
Santo was widely regarded as one of the best players never to gain induction into the Hall of Fame. The quiet sadness with which he met the news year after year that he hadn't been inducted helped cement his relationship with the fans.
"What a great loss for the Cubs and Cubs fan everywhere. Ron was such a wonderful person and friend. It is so unfortunate that he never became a Hall of Famer, as he should have long ago," Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman said.
Don Kessinger, who played shortstop with the Cubs from 1964-1975 and perhaps saw more of Santo's play at third base than anyone, said what he remembers most is how hard his teammate played every single day. He said Santo deserved to be in the Hall of Fame, and cannot understand why he was never voted in.
"It would have meant so much to Ron Santo to be elected," he said.
The Cubs' new owner, Tom Ricketts, praised Santo for his loyalty, courage and sense of humor. Commissioner Bud Selig called Santo a "magnificent, consistent ballplayer" - and a friend.
"Ron's playing and broadcasting careers shared a common thread: in both capacities, he was a staple of the Cubs' experience every single day," Selig said in a statement.
Santo never got to see his beloved Cubs win a World Series, something they haven't done since 1908, and their last appearance came in 1945, when Santo was 5. Yet he once said his association with the team probably prolonged his life.
"If I hadn't had this when my troubles started, I don't know if I would have survived," he said in September 2003. "I really mean that. It's therapy."

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
2008 Ford Mustang GT Coupe - "American Racer" Mustang
Ready For Show Duty, But Built For Handling And Speed
Power in the hands of ARE
With its flared fenders and racing stripes, the American Racer looked ready for some hot laps, but it first needed some go along with the show. The solution came in the form of a race-trim Saleen Speedlab supercharger system complete with an upgraded fuel system. With the added boost, the Three-Valve puts out a tire-shredding 493 rwhp and 447 rwtq. For good measure, a nitrous system from Nitrous Express has been set up to work with the supercharger. Other performance modifications include a MagnaFlow exhaust system complete with x-style crossover, high-flow cats, and Magnapack mufflers. A Meziere electric water pump and an Optima red-top battery also found their way underhood.
True to its inspiration, the American Racer is set up to handle like a Koni Challenge car. It has been fitted with performance lowering springs and front and rear sway bars from Progress Technology, as well as Bilstein dampers at all four corners. Braking hasn't been ignored either, and upgraded stopping power comes from a massive Saleen front big-brake kit with 15-inch two-piece rotors and six-piston calipers. Putting the power to the ground are sticky BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW tires, P275/35ZR20 front and rear.
Safe And Sexy
The cabin of the American Racer carries over the theme of the exterior and would fit right in whether on the track or at a show. For the racer, a four-point Autopower rollcage has been installed, and lightweight Cobra Misano carbon-fiber seats complete with four-point safety harnesses keep both the driver and passenger firmly in place. A triple gauge pod mounted on the A-pillar houses Auto Meter gauges that keep tabs on the nitrous system and supercharger. Speaking of the nitrous system, dual bottles have been placed on top of the custom rear-seat delete just in front of the billet "American Racing" illuminated sign. It's one of the best uses of that space we've ever seen. Other interior features include billet interior accessories from UPR and a trick Infill G4 in-dash multimedia system that is essentially a personal computer with a 250gb hard drive. The interior trim has also been painted to match the outside, one of Cenora's personal touches.
Last-Minute Finish
As with most SEMA projects, the American Racer was more time consuming than originally anticipated. Even Cenora, who has much experience building show cars, felt the stress of completing the car on time. "As the builder, you're always faced with delays, but you must deliver the finished product on time regardless," he says. "I believe at one point, parts of this car were scattered in eight different locations having something done. All of this while holding a full-time job. Talk about total chaos!"
Readying the car for SEMA came down to the last minute. The American Racer was finally completed at 8:30 the night before it had to be loaded on the transporter. Even then, a few final details were finished on the show floor. "I really have to thank Jason Cenora and Keith from K-Dezines for toiling over the car hours before the show opened," Millunzi says.
The hard work and last-minute details were worth the effort. "At SEMA, people loved it," Millunzi says. "I don't know how many times I had to tell admirers how the paint job was done. Then they would see how clean the overall look was, that supercharger on the engine, and fall in love." American Racer was such a hit that one man even offered to buy the car on spot. Despite being told it wasn't for sale, he later returned and asked again how much the boys would take for it.
Everyone back at American Racing loves the finished car, too. "Almost every day I have someone in my office telling me why they need the car over the weekend," Millunzi laughs.
We don't blame them! The American Racer is a {{{Mustang}}} we'd love to have for a few days ourselves. The only debate would be whether we'd race it or show it. Decisions, eh?

Popes of the Roman Catholic Church
According to Catholic tradition, Jesus founded the papacy in the first century, when he chose St. Peter, the leader of the apostles, to be his earthly representative. "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church," he states in chapter 16 of Matthew. "I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven." Those words, which now circle the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, serve as the biblical mandate for the papacy. All popes are considered symbolic descendants of Peter and are thought to hold "Peter's Chair"
Since then, there have been more than 260 occupants of the papal office. The institution has endured through the defining moments of European history, including the split of the Roman Empire, the bloodbath of the crusades and the rise of the Italian Renaissance. More recently, popes have struggled to reconcile the strict traditions of doctrinaire Catholicism with the realities of modern life, including defending firm stances against abortion and the death penalty. Here, a short history of some of the most notable occupants of "St. Peter's Chair."

Moral Wisdom and the Recovery of Virtue
Philosophers of information technology have been pondering for some time now whether social media technology helps us cultivate the virtuous ideal of knowing what it is to live well, and of pursuing that life in this new age.
These technologies have quickly worked themselves into the moral fabric of our daily life. They have not only transformed our social landscape but also changed the very moral habits and practices with which we navigate it.
What are the moral skills we need to cultivate to live effectively in the social media world of the twenty-first century public square? In an address given at Consilium in 2012, Peter Kurti proposes the practice of moral wisdom and the recovery of virtue to flourish and live well in the ideagoras of the twenty-first century.

Erin Tully
Ph.D., Emory University, 2006
Research Interests
My research investigates models to explain the development of depression and anxiety using designs that combine the principles of developmental psychopathology with methodology from behavior genetics, psychophysiology, and developmental psychology. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that protect high-risk children, especially offspring of depressed parents, from developing social and emotional problems. Our current lab studies focus on various social-cognitive and empathy-related constructs as potential risk and protective factors. You can learn more about our lab and how to participate in our studies at www.FEELINGSlab.com.
Undergraduate and graduate student research assistants are critical to the success of this research program. Students have the opportunity to learn diverse skills, such as rating behaviors during parent-child interactions, scoring psychophysiological data, administering psychological measures and interviews, and learning statistical techniques for investigating complex research questions. I always welcome inquiries from interested students. Undergraduate students can apply to work in the lab by completing an online application: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FEELINGSLabApp.
Clinical Interests
My clinical interests overlap with my research program and inform our research questions. I have experience conducting family, individual, and group interventions for children and adolescents in diverse settings and expertise in evaluations of psychopathology, social and behavioral functioning, and learning abilities. My approach to treatment and assessment is strongly grounded in the empirical literature and incorporates principles and strategies from cognitive-behavioral therapy, behavior family therapy, and family systems theories.

This is a daily driver for me and I had hoped to keep it and work on it over time but we are starting our family and, well, its not the easiest to put a baby seat in!44k original miles on inline 6 motor. Great on gas, been getting around 25 mpg when using as my daily driver. New starter, fuel pump, fuel filter, ignition relay, radiator, heater core and rebuilt carb. Freshly rebuilt C4 automatic transmission with less than 500 miles on it. Custom rims with tires that have only around 4k miles on them. Front end suspension about 90% new. Frame and body have no rust on them, frame is straight, body has a few minor dents but this car is 44 years old so its to be expected. Her paint is ok for now but will definitely need a paint job in the future. I have all the chrome parts for the window trim and badging and front grill, removed in preparation for paint but never got around to paint job.This is a great car for a daily driver or for a good winter project.

Micron plunges after Q3 results, guidance impacted by PC headwinds
Shares of PC related memory chip maker Micron Technology (MU) are plunging after reporting third quarter financial results and fourth quarter guidance that missed analyst expectations. WHAT'S NEW: After the close, Micron reported Q3 earnings per share of 54c on revenue of $3.85B, both shy of analyst estimates of 56c and $3.9B, respectively. Citing "near-term headwinds driven primarily by weakness in PC sector," Micron gave a fourth quarter revenue view of $3.45B-$3.7B which was significantly lower than analyst expectations of $4.16B. WHAT'S NOTABLE: On the company's earnings conference call, Micron said, consistent with prior expectations, "We are forecasting DRAM industry supply bit growth in the mid-20s in calendar 2015 and in the low-to-mid 20s in 2016." The company said it sees DRAM gross margins for Q4 down mid-single digits sequentially. Additionally, the chip maker said it sees Q4 DRAM bit growth flat to up low single digits. ANALYST TAKE: On June 22, Micron was downgraded to Sell from Neutral at Goldman Sachs. Goldman analyst Mark Delaney downgraded Micron Technology to Sell saying rising DRAM supply will lower selling prices and contract margins. Delaney expects DRAM prices to drop up to 30% over the next three quarters and cut his price target for shares to $19 from $27. On the same day, JP Morgan lowered its price target on Micron shares to $33 from $37. The firm also lowered its estimates for Micron citing lower than anticipated DRAM pricing in the past three months. The firm, however, kept an Overweight rating on Micron, saying improving demand in other segments like mobile and the company's decision to not hold inventory during Q3 should help offset the DRAM weakness. PRICE ACTION: Shares of Micron are lower by 11.5% in after- hours trading to $21.25. OTHER PC RELATED STOCKS: In after-hours trading, PC related chip makers are also lower, with Intel Corporation (INTC) down 0.9%, NVIDIA (NVDA) lower by 1.1%, and AMD (AMD) down fractionally. Others trading lower include Microsoft (MSFT), SanDisk (SNDK), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), and Seagate (STX).

Transport for London (TfL) said it will make 70% of the capital's bus stops step free by spring 2013.
The tube will also see an overhaul to make it more accessible to the disabled, with 28 stations going step free. TfL say that the £18m investment will make 70% cent of bus stops accessible next year and and at least 95% by the end of 2016.
Disabled passengers have had a pretty raw deal on public transport. TfL had to make a point of issuing advice to bus drivers on allowing wheelchairs aboard while some shameful stories emerged of discrimination, abuse and even assault suffered by the disabled when trying to use public transport.
The improvements are part of TfL's 10 year business plan, revealed earlier this month. TfL say that more than 1.3m journeys are made by disabled passengers every day and they anticipate this to increase to 189m by 2021. See TfL's step free map here, or a slightly easier one to read here.

Anyway, WAM very kindly sent me a pair of their hybrid styling irons to try out and they're fab. They're great at straightening but I absolutely LOVE them for curling. The barrel is completely rounded and has grips on it to stop the hair from slipping off and produces a gorgeous, natural curl. Once you get the hang of it, it is very easy, and these straighteners make it so much better. To be fair to other straighteners, how you prepare the hair does make a huge difference. Heat protection is important, but you do need to make sure the hair is dry, so when using a heat protection spray, wait until it has completely dried into the hair before using it.
So, here's a bit of a step-by-step, no pictures though so I hope it makes sense!
1 – Section the hair into two parts, top and bottom. I take the section around from the eye line and pin the hair to the top of my head.
2 – Taking sections of hair around 1 – 1.5 inches thick, hold the straightener as you would normally, then twist your hand upside down, clamp the hair between the plates high up at the root if you want a strong curl or near to the ends for a loose wave and twist your hand back round to normal whilst pulling through the hair. The faster you go, the looser the curl. I usually do it so that the iron ends up vertical to my head so it can be smoothly pulled out of the curl.
3 – Then section the remainder of hair in two, each side of your parting and repeat this process. If you need to re - curl any of it, wait until it is cool first.
4 – Once all the hair is cool, run your fingers through it to break up the ringlets et voila! Gorgeous, shiny curls.
If I want my hair to have a nice, natural curl I usually do it the night before, cover it with hairspray and sleep on it, then just run some product through it to smooth the next day, I actually prefer it like this on me.
The must have products you need for this are:
Some kind of smoothing cream/serum to put on straight away after breaking up the curls. I use Schwarzkopf Osis Curl Me Soft Velvet Curl Cream (RRP £9.90) which gives a light hold but smoothes really nicely and leaves a gorgeous shine with really defined curls.
TIGI Curls Rock Curl Booster (RRP £10.80) is one of the best hair products I've ever used. I absolutely swear by this stuff when curling my hair, especially if I do it the night before and want to revamp the curls. Use this after smoothing and before hairspray, or on its own to revitalise curls.
I don't really have a favourite hairspray but L'Oreal Professionnel's tecni-art gloss control spray (RRP £9.45) leaves a lovely shine and holds really well, without being too sticky.
Senscience Silk Finish Hairspray (£10.95) is gorgeous, doesn't even feel like it's on the hair but holds really well. It also lasts for ages so although it's a luxury product, it is worth the money.
Of course, there's also everyone's favourite cheap 'n' cheerful hairspray, Elnett (RRP £2.25). Not much to say about this one apart from it's as famous as it is for a reason, cheap and good!
