PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Penalty killing has been one of the University of New Hampshire hockey team's strengths all season.
The Wildcats were ranked second nationally in that category entering the weekend. However, they gave up two power-play goals in less than a minute during one devastating sequence late in the second period Sunday that ultimately led to their downfall.
Providence was able to transform a deficit into a lead in 44 seconds and went on to defeat UNH, 3-2, and capture the best-of-three Hockey East quarterfinal playoff series two games to one at Schneider Arena.
"I thought we had control of the game with three minutes to go in the second," said UNH coach Dick Umile, "and we got a couple of penalties and the game turned around. It's disappointing."
The fourth-seeded Friars (17-13-7) advance to the semifinals where they will face top seed UMass-Lowell on Friday at TD Garden in Boston as the No. 5 seed Wildcats (19-11-7) wait until next Sunday to find out if they've done enough to warrant an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
For the second year in a row UNH was eliminated from the Hockey East playoffs in a best-of-three quarterfinal series that went the distance. The Wildcats have advanced past the quarters only once in the last five years.
"We were playing pretty good hockey," said senior forward John Henrion, who scored one of UNH's two goals Sunday. "We got back in the game. A couple minutes with a lack of discipline and they took advantage of their opportunities.
"Two minutes of mistakes can cost you a game," Henrion added, "and it did tonight."
Trailing 3-2, the Wildcats came close to tying the game, but Grayson Downing's bid from the left circle hit the post with 7:23 left. UNH outshot Providence, 32-25, including 11-5 in the third period.
The second period featured three power-play goals — one by UNH and two by Providence. The Friars scored twice in 44 seconds to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead which is where things stood after two periods.
"Our penalty kill has been great all season," Umile said. "They had our number I guess on the power play."
UNH took a 2-1 lead on a power-play goal by Downing, who redirected Trevor van Riemsdyk's pass from the point at 10:31. Van Riemsdyk faked a shot before spotting Downing alone at the side of the net.
The Wildcats still led 2-1 and appeared in control of the game when they took back-to-back penalties later in the second period.
"They were down a goal," Henrion said. "That was a big momentum swing for them."
Connor Hardowa was already in the penalty box for interference when Henrion was called for slashing.
While the penalty on Henrion was being delayed as the Friars possessed the puck in the UNH zone, PC's Tim Schaller scored from the left circle on a deflected hot with six seconds left on Hardowa's penalty to tie the game at 2-all.
The Friars struck again 44 seconds into Henrion's penalty when Nick Saracino gathered in a loose puck and flipped it home during a goal-mouth scramble.
Schaller's goal came at 16:29 of the second period and Saracino's at 17:13.
It was Saracino's 11th goal of the season and fourth of the series. Seven of those 11 goals have come against UNH, which actually outshot Providence in the second period, 15-9.
"The guys that go out there know their job," Henrion said of the penalty kill. "When you're a man down it's tough. There's always an open guy. They made nice plays and buried their chances."
The Friars protected the lead well. They are 28-0-2 under coach Nate Leaman when leading after two periods.
"Momentum is a funny thing," Downing said. "We go up by one goal and a couple power plays later they're up. The third period I thought we were all over them and we had it. Just a couple bad breaks. I hit the post on one shot. We just couldn't beat them."
Despite getting outplayed for much of the first period, the Wildcats were able to escape with a 1-1 tie on a late goal by Henrion.
After taking a couple whacks at the puck, the senior forward stuffed home a rebound with 2:53 remaining in the first with assists going to van Riemsdyk and Jeff Silengo.
The Friars, who outshot UNH 11-6 in the opening 20 minutes, took an early lead when Mark Jankowski converted a centering pass from Schaller less than two minutes into the game.
"It's frustrating," Downing said. "Any time you lose, especially in the playoffs, it's never a good thing. All we can do now is wait and see."

Exterior Design: ***
The original Forester design sought to stuff an SUV into downscaled packaging more palatable to the food co-op set. The 2009 model abandons its predecessors' upright, boxy vibe for something closer to a streamlined crossover approach. Sleeker, yet still oozing functionality. And, of course, the STI-like hood scoop on the turbocharged trim level just hollers "Subaru."
Interior Design: **
Some aspects of the interior, such as the available perforated leather seats and the enlarged moon roof, are quite nice. It's just that the brushed aluminum-look interior details come off as far more flash than rugged, echoing the chromed tailpipes outside. The center console controls are easy to understand, as is the speedo-tach cluster, despite its weird anime color scheme. Overall, the interior feels drivable in that Subaru way, without compromising on spaciousness or cargo capacity, which is considerable.
Acceleration: ***
Here, the 2.5-liter, four-cylinder boxer turbo, making 224HP with 226 lb.-ft. of torque, is the name 'o the game. You get it on the Forester 2.5XT, and it serves up pretty smooth speed on the freeway, while still providing a lot of dynamic versatility under less-than-ideal road conditions—like ripping up a steep grade composed mainly of lose rocks and dirt. Engine tone is a subdued buzz, an alto ...rrrRRRR!!! that reminds you of the car's power without rattling your ears. I didn't get a whole lot of turbo lag. Abundant torque is at your fingertips. Pretty much ideal for the honing soccer mom who likes a quiver in the loins or the randy suburban dad who still enjoys a little Metallica from time to time.
Braking: ****
Very assured, with 4-wheel ABS plus brake assist. In lousy road conditions, you really appreciate the orchestration of the braking tech with the AWD, because it actually allows you to drive the car without resorting to tentative techniques. Even on rough roads, if you can manage the Forester's speed, braking can be limited to gentles inputs. However, when you need to stop, Forester stops you. One of this vehicle's best systems.
Ride: **
This is not a minivan. This is not a luxury sedan. However, this is not an STI, either. Generally speaking, the ride is compliant, but you can still tell you're in some kind of utility vehicle. Subaru's new DC3 suspension layout definitely comes into its own when you get off the beaten path, however. Truth be told, this could be construed as a flaw—most owners will never experience not having their head banged into the roof as they traverse a small gully.
Handling: ****
Rally-esque on crappy roads, well-defined on regular roads and the freeway. If you're looking for a hauler that can carry a few kids and still deliver some thrills while dashing around old logging trails, the Forester is your baby. The combo of AWD, weight-distribution, center-of-gravity, and crisp steering (and a particularly well-designed steering wheel) yields a vehicle that can literally run circles around the competition. To get better, you'd have to go BMW.
Gearbox: ****
You have a choice between a 4-speed auto and a 5-speed manual. For this category, the vast majority of customers will go for the auto, which can be switched to sport mode. Shifts are smooth and unobtrusive under everyday driving conditions. When the going gets rougher, the 4-speed gets along very nicely with the turbo and the AWD, delivering a sense of great control. Yes, a 5-speed auto would be better. Probably. An extra star has been added for the availability of the manual gearbox, thank you Subaru for giving us the choice.
Audio: **
You can fly either XM or Sirius on the system, which is operated off a display screen in the center console. The upmarket option pumps 80 watts through six speakers and can accommodate six CDs in-dash as well as MP3/WAA. Sounded great to me, but take that with a grain of salt as I dig the Cool Jazz.
Toys: **
Not that many. If there's an Achilles Heel, this is it. Only the 2.5XT Limited and the L.L. Bean Edition have the optional in-dash nav system. So obviously, if you're like most folks in the Forester demo and you don't go for either of those trim levels, you'll be looking at aftermarket GPS.
Value: *****
Hell, you can get the base model for $1200 less than the $21,195 '08 version, according to Subaru. Once you move up to the 2.5XT, you're looking at something in the $26-27K range, depending on options. If you don't need luxury or a lot of gadgets and a 5-speed auto, you'll be hard pressed to do better.
Overall: ***
Not a perfect update to Subaru's most versatile vehicle—for many, the flagship of the brand—but a definite improvement that serves up outstanding value while coming off as more capable than the competition when the going gets rugged. Should expand the demo and appeal to a younger customer without sacrificing Subaru's legendary character.

The New Editorial Team of PSPB Addresses Editorial Philosophy
Our new team of four takes the reins in January, 2017; some things will change at PSPB, but most will not. The Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin has always been a place for newer, creative ideas, and we will continue to seek papers that showcase creativity, progress, and innovation. We will continue the practice of seeking the highest quality, most rigorous, most informative manuscripts in personality and social psychology. We encourage you to submit to PSPB.
PSPB began in the mid-1970s, a mimeographed chapbook held together with two staples, filled with Society business, opinion pieces, newsletter items, and empirical articles. To appreciate how excellent PSPB was from the very start, see the first formal issue. It has come a long way; over four decades, PSPB has become an important and widely distributed outlet for empirical research articles, with occasional items of special interest. We thank Duane Wegener, Lee Fabrigar, and the team of Associate Editors for maintaining PSPB's high standards and profile in the field.
The implicit goal of PSPB is to promote scientific progress in social-personality psychology. Progress in science emerges from a tension between innovation and selection. Ideas are considered, concepts are operationalized, data are collected and analyzed, the results are described and interpreted. The publication of an article is by no means the final word on scientific contribution (Fisher, 1947). Once a paper is accepted by the editorial team, PSPB's reading public begins the process of post-publication review. What do the data mean? Are they interpreted reasonably? How can we use other research to interpret these findings? Can we believe the conclusions?
SPSP recently published a statement on scientific progress which began "Science advances largely by correcting errors, and scientific progress involves learning from mistakes. By eliminating errors in methods and theories, we provide a stronger evidentiary basis for science that allows us to better describe events, predict what will happen, and solve problems (SPSP Board of Directors, 2016)." PSPB plays a fundamental role in this process. But PSPB also receives, selects, and promotes new and innovative ideas, methods, and findings. Proposing innovative ideas or methods on the one hand, and selecting out errors and mistakes on the other, represents two important scientific values. We will be guided by both. Social-personality psychology is a community of scientists, working to develop theory, create manipulations and interventions, solve puzzles and human problems. Scientists compare theories to data and compare theories to each other; we are skeptical and selective (and sometimes slow) to consider confirmations and disconfirmations. This is what separates science from other practices (Thagard, 1978), and PSPB is one place for this to happen.
What is quality research; what is an informative paper? There are many, many ways to make scientific contributions. At PSPB, there will be no litmus test for what is an acceptable paper—each paper will be evaluated based on its particular aims and merits. The general standard will be information value—what can we learn from this paper? (See also Funder et al., 2014.) This standard will be applied to theories, hypotheses, research designs, data sets, and replications; the editorial team, as informed by the reviews, will make judgments about publication based on the value and importance of the paper, and this judgment will be based on what we can reasonably learn from the work. Logic, theoretical clarity and care, scholarly review, methodological rigor, statistical power, careful design, and careful interpretation of results are all important, and we intend to celebrate (and select) them because they make a contribution informative.
Each submission will be evaluated based on its particular aims and merits; the more clearly authors explain what they did and why—what they found and how—the better reviewers, editors, and readers can engage in the collective process of criticism and the growth of knowledge. Peer review and the editorial decisions that rely on it are a human process, and thus imperfect. However, as in all human endeavor, imperfection prevents neither beauty nor truth. When authors make the aims and merits of their work clear they best enable honest and constructive evaluation by reviewers and editors. When reviewers and editors make the basis of their evaluation clear, they best enable honest and constructive re-evaluation by authors. At its best, peer review is a principled (sometimes passionate) intellectual exchange. This is the standard we aim to achieve.
There has been a great deal of discussion lately about the honest and transparent reporting of research. This has been a creative era of suggestions, nostrums, bans, cures, and desiderata. Over the last few years, SPSP has instituted a number of requirements and recommendations to guide honest and transparent reporting (see Kashy, et al., 2009) Following the 2013 SPSP Presidential Task Force on Publication and Research Practices, SPSP's statement of Best Practices and its recommendations for "Improving the dependability of research in personality and social psychology" (Funder et al., 2014) informed current PSPB submission guidelines. For several years PSPB has required that all stimulus and other materials be included with a submission, to be published online upon publication. Current PSPB submission guidelines reiterate SPSP's (2013) Data Sharing Policy. And, of course, PSPB submission guidelines require compliance with the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct Standard regarding research and publication. The PSPB submission guidelines also prescribe the use of the 2009 APA Publication Manual, which includes Journal Article Reporting Standards for the honest and transparent reporting of research. PSPB is also a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) which guides editorial practice, including research and publication misconduct. (We encourage readers to visit COPE's website for clear communication about appropriate conduct in submission, review, decisions, and conflicts of interest.) The pre-registration of methods, data collection plans, and data analysis plans can play a role in increasing transparent scientific practice; research that involves pre-registration is welcome at PSPB and the process should be described in the manuscript and detailed in supplementary materials. Because pre-registration is not always possible with the innovative or exploratory work we expect to publish at PSPB, it is not required. When guided by these complementary and comprehensive standards, responsible reporting will add information value and enable the informed evaluation of a paper given its aims and merits.
PSPB currently offers double-blind review (authors do not know who the reviewers are; reviewers do not know who the authors are) as an option to authors. Beginning March 1st, 2017, double-blind review will be required of all manuscripts. All three journals sponsored by SPSP (Personality and Social Psychology Review, Social Psychological and Personality Science, and PSPB) now share the same policy.
The new century has brought an explosion of interest in social and personality psychology—we've seen a substantial increase in the number of print journals, online journals, popular books, blogs, new professional societies, conferences, workshops, and media coverage. An even greater explosion can be seen in the number of scientists seeking to join our ranks; attendance at SPSP meetings continues to grow, applications for graduate school are steadily rising, new Ph.D. programs are developing, membership in SPSP continues to climb. This makes publication intensely competitive. The scarcity of highly valued publication resources is especially difficult for younger scientists, who must early in their careers vie for space with experienced scientists and established research labs, but the same high standards apply to all submissions. A high level of competition has a positive effect on scientific progress (Kitcher, 1993), and we strongly encourage junior scientists to submit their work.
We will evaluate contributions for statistical power. In addition to reporting p-values for significant effects, authors should also report power they had to detect hypothesized effects of interest. If you hypothesized a null effect, reviewers will want to know whether you used a sample large enough to detect a small effect so they may attach some confidence to the null.
Authors should be clear about how they conducted power analyses (what formulae, which software programs were used?) and what values they used to estimate power. When conducting a priori analyses to determine sample size, please report the parameter estimates used in these analyses and how they were obtained (e.g., from pilot data or prior research). We encourage people to be transparent in the analysis and reporting of a priori power, consistent with the goals of transparency and clarity in reporting all statistical analyses. For the critical hypothesis tests, this information belongs in the body of the paper. For more complicated issues, minor tests, or lengthy discussion, description of power calculations may appear in the online supplement. If you did not conduct a power analysis prior to conducting the study, simply say so. Unresolved issues of statistical power should be addressed in the General Discussion.
We are in discussion with the SPSP Publication Committee about how to treat replications. Conceptual replications, because they extend operationalizations and test theories in new ways (Crandall & Sherman, 2016), have informational value, and will be considered for publication in the normal course of journal operations. Until an alternate outlet for exact, direct, close or literal replications appears, we will consider publishing them in PSPB. "Replication only" is less likely than new contributions to meet PSPB standards—the results must be informative beyond a mere "yes, replicated" or "no, didn't replicate." There are many excellent exemplars of useful and informative replication projects (e.g., Ebersole et al. 2016; Luttrell, Pett & Xu, 2017) of the type PSPB seeks to publish.
The development and advancement of theory is a useful component of many contributions. Generating a theoretical advance will always be a positive component of a paper. However, one result of a multidimensional approach to judging papers is that some empirical and methodological contributions may be so compelling, interesting, or surprising that they deserve to be published before their theoretical value is known (Greenwald, 2012). Sometimes, there is nothing so practical as a good set of data.
We will ask authors to include a "constraints on generality" paragraph in their Discussion sections (see Simons, Shoda & Lindsay, 2016). A section that covers limits on generality should define the scope of the ideas that the data support, by describing the population of interest, stimuli, and operations the authors are studying, as well as some sense of what they are not studying. This will aid in understanding the original data, and guide interpretation of subsequent replications, both direct and conceptual. Although not required, such a discussion would certainly increase the information value of a paper, and guide readers—skeptical and supportive—to a better understanding of what is claimed and what is not.
All journals in social and personality psychology are seeking to publish rigorous and high quality research; PSPB is no different. PSPB is a place for innovation and experiment. New ideas must be tested with rigor and openness, with sensible procedures and analyses, but we will not shy away from new concepts, new methods, or fresh takes on old problems. Careful selection must not limit innovation.

Al Notarangeli
Testimony: Rival Gang Leader Killed After Altercation With Patriarca Crime Family
Al Notarangeli, commonly known as "Indian Al," was the leader of the Somerville-based Notarangeli gang when James "Whitey" Bulger began to rise the ranks of the Winter Hill gang.
According to testimony by Winter Hill hit man John Martorano, Bulger ordered the killing of Notarangeli after Notarangeli allegedly killed a bookie involved with the Patriarca crime family of Providence.
According to Martorano, Notarangeli murdered Paulie Folino, one of Jerry Angiulio's bookies, in 1972. Angiulio was an underboss of the Providence-based Patriarca crime family. Following that, Angiulio contacted the Winter Hill gang for assistance.
Shortly after, Notarangeli fled to the west coast. He returned to Boston at the end of 1973 to make peace with Angiulio, Martorano alleged. Notarangeli reportedly gave Angiulio $50,000, which Angiulio shared with the Winter Hill gang.
Martorano said Bulger ordered a hit on Notrangeli and Martorano carried out the request, killing Notarangeli in 1974.
Cooperating with former FBI agent John Connolly, Bulger helped bring down the Patriarca crime family in 1986, the FBI admitted.

Faced with rising costs, ongoing labour shortages and the need to find creative solutions to improve productivity, corporations across Canada are finally embracing telecommuting initiatives on a widespread basis, say proponents of the concept.
"Employees are requesting the freedom and flexibility to work remotely, but in many cases it's driven by employers," says Elsbeth Mehrer, manager of workforce development for Calgary Economic Development (CED).
When CED held a forum earlier this year, it attracted companies such as Telus Corp., Axia Netmedia Corp. and Canadian Pacific, who spoke about the benefits and challenges of implementing telework programs company-wide.
CED is now embarking on a three-year telework and distributed work project to set a baseline as to how many companies are using the model, as well as identifying the tools employers will need to move in that direction.
"Our own research suggests employees ... can reduce their actual expenses by about $5,000 a year when they shift to a telecommuting model," says Craig Wilson, a best practices consultant with Avaya Inc., an Internet-based telephone services and technology firm.
But it's not just employees that stand to save money and time by spending less money on gas, lunches, coffee breaks and other work expenses.
Employers are realizing the bottom-line benefits, too.
"One employer simply didn't have the desks to house all of the people they needed, so they had some very specific targets they needed to hit so they could send a good proportion of their staff home," Mehrer says.
In addition to reduced real estate costs, it's another tool to help attract and retain a wider pool of talent. "You have this ability to tap into this workforce that is otherwise not accessible to you," she says.
Retirees, stay-at-home parents, students and the physically disabled are among the groups more likely to consider a job that allows them to telecommute. "It allows employers to reach out to a whole new set of labour markets," Wilson says.
Patti McDougall sees both sides of the benefits as an employer and as an employee who telecommutes occasionally. She's the manager of quality assurance and telecom services for Reliance Protectron Security Services in Mississauga, Ont.
"We were trying to figure out other ways to recruit people into our customer service call centre using the existing resources we had because we were struggling to find people," McDougall says.
After scouring the country for examples, the company turned its sights south of the border. "There weren't a lot of people we could speak to within Canadian industry that were doing it, so we did a lot of research and spoke to companies out of the U.S.," she says.
After working closely with the company's information technology experts, managers and human resources staff, they carefully deployed their own telework initiative for non-emergency call centre staff.
Now the company is expanding the model with its customer service group and McDougall says it has allowed them to keep employees that might have otherwise left, as well as attract new ones.
Effective telecommuting is all about setting clear and realistic performance indicators for employees, along with debunking the myth that just because someone sits in a office for eight hours a day means they're productive. Several studies have shown teleworkers are actually more productive.
The City of Calgary experimented with the concept last year and is in the process of expanding a pilot telework program across its departments by early next year.
There is also a huge environmental benefit with fewer cars on the road each day, not to mention the impact it makes on alleviating traffic chaos and easing infrastructure requirements.
"Calgary is well-positioned given this critical mass of benefits around telework to really be a leader as a region in moving in that direction," Mehrer says.
Facts about telecommuting:
- There are about 800,000 Canadians who telecommute almost daily
- About 2 million to 2.5 million workers telecommute at least one day a week
- Telecommuting one day a week saves an average of 354 litres of gas, which avoids the creation of 464 kilograms of carbon in a year
- Full-time telecommuting avoids the creation of 2,320 kilograms of carbon per employee per year
- Almost 33 per cent of companies surveyed are increasing the use of communications tools to help reduce environmental impact

� Although it was a blow-out contest, the first game of the 2009 Finals equaled the start of the dream match-up between the Lakers and Celtics last year in the key Adult 18-49 sales demo, qualifying as the best start in 5 years (since 2004 Detroit-Lakers) and as the second-highest-ever opening game for The Finals on ABC � beginning with coverage in 2003.
� Game 1 of the 2009 NBA Finals delivered a 20.9/37 Household number in Los Angeles and a 23.9/38 in Orlando.
A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 31% currently, from 25% at the same point in 2008. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.

Like the Energizer Bunny on crack cocaine, the market got another "fix" just in time yesterday to keep the party going and futures are up this morning with S&P futures up about 4 points:
The 50 day average is at 804, the upper Bollinger at 808, the next higher pivot is at 848, and the one right under us now is 789. It looks to me like we're destined to at least touch the upper Bollinger. And boy, are we ever overbought on many indicators.
Unemployment for the week fell to 646,000, but continuing claims rose to yet another record:
Unemployment: Continuing claims hit new high
Government report shows the number of people filing initial claims for unemployment benefits fell last week but the number filing for more than a week hit a record high.
By Ben Rooney, CNNMoney.com staff writer
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The number of people filing initial claims for unemployment benefits fell last week but the number filing for more than a week hit a fresh record high, according to a government report released Thursday.
In the week ended March 14, 646,000 people filed initial jobless claims, down 12,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 658,000.
Economists had expected 655,000 new claims, according to a consensus survey by Briefing.com.
However, in a sign that more jobless are having trouble finding work, 5.5 million people continued claiming unemployment in the week ended March 4 - the latest week for which data was available. That's an increase of 185,000 from the previous week.
The 4-week moving average for weekly filings was 654,750, up from the previous week's revised average.
FedEx says that profits fell 75% in the past quarter and are slashing wages, mainly of its overseas workers.
Leading economic indicator and the Philly Fed survey come out at 10 Eastern.
That's about it… sooner or later there MUST be a correction of some degree. We're about 20% off the bottom now, options expiration is tomorrow.
The dollar is down further, bonds are up a little, gold is up a little more…
Have a good one,

Earlier today, Jaromir Jagr—who said on Sunday that 21 teams made him offers— signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Stars. It's worth $4.5 million.
Jagr is 40 years old, and he's been a not-great hockey player for a few years now. He did manage to put together 19 goals and 35 assists for the Flyers last year, after a brief Siberian sojourn, but he only scored three goals in his last 20 games. Plus, his teammates in Dallas will be a lot less talented than the gang he had in Philly.
But Jagr's evidently decided he'll spend the rest of his career collecting as much money as he can. He'll be a mediocre hired gun, a traveling circus. Early signs indicate he'll do well at that: Dallas's one-year deal will pay him $1.2 million more than the Flyers' contract did, and Texas has no state income tax. So, good for him. But every year spent cashing checks in god-knows-where keeps Jagr away from another Cup or a homecoming in Pittsburgh. And that's no fun.

Reading the emotions of others is essential for even the most basic social skills. Imagine someone without this ability; she might laugh at an angry coworker or try to comfort a delighted friend. But how do our brains pick up on what others are feeling? A face often fails to tell the whole story. We also use tone of voice, posture and even odor to solve the puzzle. (For more on the many ways we make use of sensory information, see Scientific American Mind's special report on the senses in March/April 2012.) Here's how our brain combines information from multiple senses to decode mood.
Animation by George Retseck, Ravenswood Media; Art Direction by Patricia Nemoto; Edited by Eric R. Olson

Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time is finally available, and with new plants, themed worlds, and more of the same great gameplay, this classic tower defense game sequel does just about everything right.
The original Plants vs. Zombies was a huge hit when it came out for iOS devices in February 2010. After more than three years, PopCap has finally released the sequel as a free-to-play game, but don't let the freemium model scare you -- in-app purchases are not required to finish the game.
Plants vs. Zombies 2 gives same great gameplay with new themed worlds (pictures)See all photos
More of the same great gameplay
The object of Plants vs. Zombies 2 is the same as the original. You need to plant different types of offensive and defensive plants to try to prevent zombies from making it all the way to the left side of the screen. To grow your plants, you need sun, and sun power is gained through planting sunflowers that generate every few seconds. As in the first game, you'll need to touch the floating sun icons to add them to your bank of sun power.
But where you were defending your house from a zombie attack in the original, Plants vs. Zombies 2 sends you back in time to new worlds, with the themes of Ancient Egypt, Pirate Seas, and Wild West. These three worlds are ready to unlock in this first version of the game with more than 60 levels to play through total, but PopCap games promises more new worlds to come in future updates.
A little help from new power-ups
Plants vs. Zombies 2 should be very easy to pick up and play for just about anyone, but it can also get extremely challenging when the zombies start to fill your screen. In this sequel, the developer has added new features that give you a few extra options when the big waves of zombies are on the attack.
A new Plant Food button lets you supercharge one of your plants to do extra damage when in a pinch. Dragging plant food on top of a pea shooter, for example, sends it into machine gun mode for a short time. Each plant type reacts differently to plant food, so you'll have to experiment to find the best combinations.
There are also new powers you can only use for a short time by spending your earned coins. The Power Pinch lets you pinch to decapitate zombies. The Power Toss lets you launch a group of zombies in the air with a swipe, then fling them off the screen. The Power Zap lets you hold your finger down on zombies to electrocute multiple enemies. These new powers are great for difficult levels, but you'll only be able to use them once in a while or you'll run out of cash.

Who is eligible?
Services at the Marquette University Counseling Center are free to full-time Marquette and MIAD students. Students seeking services in the summer months (i.e., late May through August) need to be enrolled as a full-time student for either the summer or fall semester.
Who is not eligible?
Students who are not eligible for services at the Marquette University Counseling Center include individuals who are part-time or not enrolled as students. These students will be assisted in finding a provider in the community.
Who might benefit from seeking services directly from a community provider?
Students who do not meet eligibility requirements or who require highly specialized (e.g., neuropsychological assessment), longer term, or intensive treatment would benefit from seeing a community provider instead of a Counseling Center provider. Our staff is available to assist with finding an appropriate referral.
What if a student only wants medication but not counseling?
Numerous research studies have indicated that the best treatment for most mental health concerns is a combination of counseling and medication. For this reason, we ask that students work with both a therapist and the psychiatric provider. If a student is only interested medication s/he will be referred to a community psychiatric provider or a general practice physician. Since psychiatric services are short term, students are advised to continue treatment with their home provider if possible.
How long can I receive medication at the MUCC?
The student and the psychiatric provider work together to find the best treatment option for them. Students work with the psychiatric provider concurrently while they work with a counselor. All services are short term. Decisions regarding transferring care to a primary care physician or a psychiatric provider are made in collaboration with a student and assistance is provided to make a smooth transition.
*If you have questions regarding eligibility, please call 414-288-7172.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is just around the corner, hitting PlayStation 3s, Xbox 360s, and PCs March 20. Socom developer SlantSix is at the helm of this third-person shooter, returning to the infected streets of Raccoon City. After spending plenty of time blasting away zombies, mutated monsters, and the armed opposition, I've compiled a list of 10 things you should know about the game.
1. You Are Umbrella
Ever want to step into the combat boots of the evil Umbrella Corporation's most hardened killers? This is your chance. You can choose from Hunk's protégée, a rugged demolitions expert, a monster-controlling scientist, and more. Seeing the Raccoon City disaster from a new perspective is a unique experience that Operation Raccoon City has to offer.
2. Chaotic Third-Person Shooting
The Resident Evil series turned into a third-person shooter long ago, but Operation Raccoon City ratchets up the frenetic gameplay. At any given time you'll be required to zoom-in with your weapon, pitch a grenade, or dispatch an enemy with a flurry of melee moves. This is one of the most action-packed entries in the series to date.
3. Human Opposition
Infected freaks aren't the only threat on the battlefield – you'll also face off against armed humans. Whether you're blasting through the co-op campaign or hopping online, you'll simultaneously fight zombies, mutated monsters, and gun-toting mercenaries. The combination of dodging zombies while watching out for enemy fire presents some harrowing situations.
4. Automatic Cover System
Unlike any other game in the series, Operation Raccoon City allows players to take cover in almost any situation. Bombed-out cars, corners, and waist-high crates make for great improvised cover when caught in a hail of machine gun fire. But be careful, it's easy for zombies to sneak up on you while you're engaged in a frenzied firefight.
5. Online Multiplayer
Players can hop online to engage in four vs. four battles. Standard team deathmatch gets a lot more interesting when the opposition inflicts a wound that causes you to bleed out, attracting the zombie hordes to your position. Heroes Mode allows players to play as fan favorites like Leon, Jill, or Hunk as each team tries to take out the others' commander.
6. Progression
Whether blasting through the 4-player co-op campaign or tearing it up online in versus mode, your earn experience points at the end of every match. XP can be used to purchase new abilities or weapons, allowing you to customize your operative however you see fit. Want to dump resources into carrying a powerful machine gun and developing your character's ability to go completely invisible? No problem.
7. Unique Abilities
Each character class has a custom set of passive and active abilities that you can unlock and upgrade as you gain experience.
Recon: Specializes in avoiding enemy detection by mimicking the opposition and using active camouflage.
Medic: Supports teammates with increased accuracy, speed, and defense. Medics can also equip a hypo gun which cures T-virus infections and hurts bio-organic weapons.
Field Scientist: This class can turn enemy soldiers into zombies, throw undead-attracting pheromone vials, and influence monsters to fight alongside them.
Demolition: The explosives expert can plant remote-detonated mines, throw timed sticky grenades, and set up laser trip mines.
Assault: This aggressive class benefits from increased defense, a stint of unlimited ammo, and incendiary rounds.
Surveillance: This unit can monitor enemy movements by scanning for targets, donning thermal goggles, and even see through walls.
8. Rewrite Resident Evil History
Players will encounter nearly every character that was surviving on the streets of Raccoon City during the second and third game. You can look forward to encountering Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Nikolai, and more. However, as your job is to scrub the town of any evidence linking Umbrella to the incident, these witnesses must be eliminated.
9. A Rogues Gallery
Freed from the narrow corridors of the early games, the series' famous monsters prowl the open streets. You'll encounter fearsome foes like the tongue-lashing lickers, ferocious hunters, and agile crimson head zombies. In the old games, these creatures usually attacked in groups of two or three at the most. Now their numbers are utterly overwhelming.
10. A Rampaging Tour Of Raccoon City
You'll visit several iconic places from Resident Evil 2 and 3 during the operation. Your team will visit the infamous Raccoon City police department before Leon and Claire ever step foot inside, escape the hospital before it burns to the ground, and visit a familiar laboratory.

Run your Pure Data patches on Android with native GUIs emulated.
Donate: 1prtyx7MwmKomyeEAhMiGYzNithTcmSJV
Useful PdDroidParty patches and abstractions:
(Unzip the zipfiles onto your device's sdcard e.g. into /sdcard/PdDroidParty/)
Get the GPLv3 source code from GitHub
On iOS? Check out PdParty for iOS and MobMuPlat.
Need help? Ask a question on the Pure Data mailing list or the Pure Data Forum or another Pd community.
1. Create a new Pd patch called droidparty_main.pd in a subdirectory. This patch will contain your GUI objects like sliders, toggles, numberboxes etc. If you have an existing patch you want to run with PdDroidParty you can create the droidparty_main.pd patch in the same directory.
2. PdDroidParty GUI patches will be scaled to fit the screen of the device. Your patches should have the rough dimensions of a phone/tablet in landscape mode (e.g. 3:2 aspect ratio or e.g. 480x320 should usually work well). If it's not exact it doesn't matter - the GUI elements will be scaled.
3. Numberbox, Sliders, Toggle, Comment, Bang, and Canvas are currently rendered by PdDroidParty, although not feature complete. Check out the GUI abstractions in the droidparty-abstractions.zip file - these are also supported natively. See the Abstractions section below for more details.
4. All GUI elements should communicate with the main audio patches using send and receive only. You can usually set send and receive for each GUI by right clicking on the object and choosing 'properties' in Pd. Do not directly connect cables to the GUI elements as they won't work. It helps to keep the GUIs on their own in the droidparty_main.pd file and have it include the logic of your patch as an abstraction or subpatch containing senders and receivers for interfacing with GUI elements. This is good patch design practice anyway as it is basically a model-view-controller methodology.
5. Copy the entire directory containing your droidparty_main.pd onto the sdcard of your device under a directory called PdDroidParty. You can usually do this over USB with most phones and tablets by mounting your device as a hard drive on your computer. For example your directory called MyPdPatch containing a patch called droidparty_main.pd could be copied to /sdcard/PdDroidParty/MyPdPatch on your device.
6. Run PdDroidParty and you will find an entry named after your subdirectory. Tap it to load your patch.
You can share your PdDroidParty compatible patches with people by zipping up the folder with your patch in it and renaming the file extension from
.zip to
.dpz. When you send a
.dpz file to somebody PdDroidParty will launch and run the patch on their device if they have the app installed. You should make sure the zip file contains the top level directory with the name of your patch, for example MyPatch.zip should contain a folder called
MyPatch which contains your files like droidparty_main.pd etc. You can also include a Pd comment with the text "version: 99" to set the version of your patch so that people receiving them will know what version they are being asked to install. Each time you release a new version of your
.dpz file you can increment the version number.
As well as the supported internal objects listed above the following abstractions work in Pd and are emulated natively on the device. Load the file droidparty-abstractions/_OVERVIEW.pd for more details and specific usage:
You can connect your MIDI controllers and keyboards to your device running PdDroidParty and use them to control your patches with Pd's built-in midi objects like [ctlin] and [notein]. You will probably need an OTG USB cable to plug in your MIDI devices and Android version 2.4 or higher. Once you have plugged in your MIDI device and loaded a PdDroidParty path, use the menu to enable access to the device in the software.
You can theme all of the defult non-SVG-themed widgets with a font other than the built-in courier font. Put a TTF font file of your choice in the patch directory and call it 'font.ttf' if you want aliased rendering, or 'font-antialiased.ttf' if you want anti-aliased rendering. This will cause PdDroidParty to render that patch with the font you have chosen.
It's possible to theme your patches with SVG images now. You can theme the following Pd GUI objects: canvas, numberbox (the abstraction), sliders, taplist (abstraction), toggle, touch (abstraction), wordbutton (abstraction).
To theme e.g. the toggle, create an SVG called Toggle.svg in the directory holding your droidparty_main.pd patch. You can also have separate images for specific toggles by using their send name or label name in the SVG filename. For example a toggle with a send name of "mysend" could have an SVG called Toggle-mysend.svg which would override the default Toggle.svg image. Send and label names are split on the hyphen ("-") character so for example if you have two toggles with send names of mysend-1 and mysend-2 you could theme them separately with Toggle-mysend-1.svg and Toggle-mysend-2.svg or you could theme them with the same image by creating a file called Toggle-mysend.svg which would apply to both.
The SVG renderer is not very robust, so the best way to design your own widget graphics is to start with the widget graphics in droidparty-tests/svg-widgets/*.svg and modify them. The renderer only really works on plain paths, so make sure you convert any objects like rectangles or circles to plain SVG paths. The renderer used is a fork of svg-android with some support for Inkscape hacked in.
You can put three special attributes on the SVG element using a text editor, for font customisation. They are textFont, textColor, textOffset and textAntialias. textOffset is a relative value like "0.25 0.25" which will move the text down and to the right relative to the center of the widget being drawn. textFont should be the name of the font file excluding the extension. textAntialias should be "true" or "false". textColor is a hex string like "#ffffff".
It is possible to map only a part of the main Pd window to the actual device screen, by using a specially configured canvas GUI:
The selected viewport area will be rescaled in order to fill the screen of the device.
droidparty-demos/pure-widgets-demo/droidparty_main.pd for an example of this feature.
You can use the PdDroidParty code base to bundle your own Pd patches as standalone Android apps.
There are some good tips for Windows users in this forum thread.
If you make an app based on this source code, I would love to hear about it.

How to Calm Red Cheeks in Winter
How to Soothe Chapped, Red Cheeks in Winter
Whipping Winter winds easily dry out your skin, but they can also cause your cheeks to glow red (in an unflattering way). In response to the chilly temperatures, blood rushes to your face to help regulate your temperature. But who cares about the science when you're trying to prevent looking like a strawberry sherbet?
Before you go out: Counteract flushed cheeks with a redness-reducing primer or concealer. Prepare the skin with a green-tinged product, like Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Primer ($38), before foundation to quell splotchiness. The second step to preventing too-rosy skin is to apply sunscreen. Even in Winter the sun's powerful rays can affect skin.
After you go out: Soothe riled up skin with moisture. Try Eucerin Redness Relief Night Cream ($15) or a lotion with licorice root to calm inflammation. Also, switch your exfoliating cleanser for a creamier version to avoid too much scrubbing. And if the problem doesn't go away after you've warmed up, you may be dealing with rosacea. Seek a dermatologist's advice for treatment options.

Bills coach Doug Marrone said that quarterback E.J. Manuel would have to return to practice by Wednesday in order to have a chance at playing in the season opener against the Patriots.
Manuel accomplished that mission on Sunday. The team announced that the first-round pick was back on the field for Sunday's practice session, two weeks after undergoing a surgical procedure on his knee. He started throwing late last week and obviously has made enough progress that doctors cleared him for a bigger workload this weekend.
The concerns now are whether or not Manuel is ready to go full speed after his time off and if his knee can avoid setbacks over the course of the week. If the answer to both is yes, you'd have to expect to see Manuel making his regular season debut as an NFL player a week from today.
If there's a no, Thad Lewis will likely be elevated from the practice squad to back up Jeff Tuel because there's not much sense in dressing Manuel for a game that you don't think he's healthy enough to start.

The University of Colorado Cardiovascular Institute (CU-CVI) was co-founded in 1998 by Michael R. Bristow, MD, PhD and Leslie Leinwand, PhD with the idea to integrate cardiovascular research, treatment, and discovery through a collaboration of the Anschutz Medical and Boulder campuses.
The scientific goals of the Institute are to understand the genetic basis and specific molecular mechanisms responsible for heart muscle disease and heart failure and to produce new diagnostic techniques and treatments for patients. By integrating the effort of those committed to curing heart muscle disease and heart failure, the collaborative nature of the Institute encourages the sharing of findings and data, which ultimately translate into improved treatments and therapies of patients.

If you visit Iguaçu Falls, you should also take time out to pop into the local exotic bird park, Parque das Aves.
My initial thought was that this would be rather dull. But I was totally wrong. It was amazing and great fun and I again would have no problem enthusiastically endorsing it.
What makes it special is that the birds are kept in gigantic cages inside a natural Atlantic rainforest setting.
This means that they have plenty of space to fly and are surrounded by natural vegetation and natural light and have sky above them.
You get to see pink flamingos, vultures, parrots, Harpy eagles, owls, conures, curassows and more.
The purpose of the sanctuary is to protect and help them to reproduce. Tourist dollars help with the conservation and rescue work.
You get to walk inside these huge enclosures and have close contact with the birds as if you were walking through their natural habitat.
We had great fun in this park, not only seeing dozens of exotic species up close but also seeing beautiful butterflies and a few reptiles, such as caimans, iguanas, ostriches, rheas and some snakes.
Everyone's favourite bird was the toucan. You might think it should be the parrot or macaw or flamingo, but, nope, the toucan was easily the most engaging bird with its fabulously long, yet lightweight beak, and its humorously curious nature.
Some of the toucans are so friendly they don't fly away when you come near and even will allow you to reach out and touch them.
They fly with such skill from branch to tree top, barely skimming your head on route.
Some of the birds in the park have also been rescued from traffickers and illegal captivity. Some were in poor condition when they came to the park, others were sick or injured. Almost half the birds in the park were born there.
They also give biologists and veterinarians a chance to study them and find ways to help them reproduce and repopulate the forest areas.
How to get there: Foz do Iguaçu is the city on the Brazil side closest to the park entrance; Puerto Iguazu is the city closest to the park entrance across the river on the Argentina side.
Where to stay: Hotel das Cataratas is a five-star luxury hotel on the Brazilian side, the Sheraton Hotel is a five-star resort hotel on the Argentine side.

It's fairly common to find web pages link to resources using non-
http protocols. An example is the
mailto: protocol:
Web authors can use a
mailto: link when they want to provide a convenient way for users to send an email, directly from the webpage. When the link is activated, the browser should launch the default desktop application for handling email. You can think of this as a desktop-based protocol handler.
Web-based protocol handlers allow web-based applications to participate in the process too. This is becoming more important as more types of applications migrate to the web. In fact, there are many web-based email handling applications that could process a
mailto link.
Setting up a web application as a protocol handler is not a difficult process. Basically, the web application uses
registerProtocolHandler() to register itself with the browser as a potential handler for a given protocol. For example:
navigator.registerProtocolHandler("web+burger", "http://www.google.co.uk/?uri=%s", "Burger handler");
Where the parameters are:
- The protocol.
- The URL template, used as the handler. The "%s" is replaced with the
hrefof the link and a GET is executed on the resultant URL.
- The user friendly name for the protocol handler.
When a browser executes this code, it should display a prompt to the user, asking permission to allow the web application to register as a handler for the protocol. Firefox displays a prompt in the notification bar area:
http://example.com/homepage.html can register a protocol handler for
http://example.com/handle_mailto/%s, but not for
Registering the same protocol handler more than once will pop up a different notification, indicating that the protocol handler is already registered. Therefore, it is a good idea to guard your call to register the protocol handler with a check to see if it is already registered, such as in the example below.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">   <title>Web Protocol Handler Sample - Register</title>
Web Protocol Handler Sample

This web page will install a web protocol handler for the web+burger: protocol.

Now, anytime the user activates a link that uses the registered protocol, the browser will route the action to the URL supplied when the web application registered. Firefox will, by default, prompt the user before handing off the action.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">   <title>Web Protocol Handler Sample - Test</title>
Hey have you seen this before?

The next phase is handling the action. The browser extracts the
href from the activated link, combines it with the URL template supplied during handler registration and performs an HTTP GET on the URL. So, using the above examples, the browser would perform a GET on this URL:
Server side code can extract the query string parameters and perform the desired action.
href. This means the server side code will have to parse out the protocol from the data.
<?php $value = ""; if ( isset ( $_GET["value"] ) ) { $value = $_GET["value"]; } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">   <title>Web Protocol Handler Sample</title>
Web Protocol Handler Sample - Handler

This web page is called when handling a web+burger: protocol action. The data sent:
 <textarea> <?php echo(htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')); ?> </textarea>

Funeral Quest is a travesty of lemonade stands, sim games and common decency in general. Basically you open a funeral parlour and handle customers. The aim is to gain Burial Points (which is your ranking) and earn tags (currency), while engaging in a spot of skullduggery to advance your standing and income.
For me, Funeral Quest is a web-based multiplayer game. It is worth to enjoy!

I called a couple of Clear Bra Installers in the area and that quoted me around $300 for just the hood fenders and mirrors. I searched google and found Clear Bra Kits. They sold me my hood fenders and mirrors kit for $95 and that was using 3M Venrureshield film top notch stuff. The kit was cut perfect and the instructions were very easy to understand.

Hi, Everyone.
I've been talking to a friend about building a website (for dog t-shirts). I bought the domain, and she's going to send me the images and prices of the merchandise. Here's my question: Is it wrong not to accept money? I've known her for 18 years (since college), and I know she and her family are kind of on rough times right now, so I don't feel right taking money from her, but I have a feeling she might insist on paying me something.
How should I handle this? Any opinions are welcome.

Torrington celebrates Independence Day with carnival, fireworks
TORRINGTON >> On a humid Saturday, Torrington celebrated the nation's independence at Torrington Middle School with carnival games, food, live music and of course, fireworks.
This weekend iteration of July 4 festivities was funded by over 40 local sponsors, donations and fundraising from throughout the year.
Photos: Torrington holds 4th of July carnival, fireworks
"I want to thank all the sponsors that helped out with all the expenses associated to the event," said Brett Simmons, supervisor for the Torrington Parks and Recreation Department. Simmons noted that they don't have a set budget for the event, but rather rely on donations and fundraising to put all of it together.
On hand were vendors selling corn dogs, novelties and souvenirs, ice cream cones and hot dogs. There was also a merry-go-round, a steep "fun slide" and several other carnival rides.
Local three-piece band Sidekick performed throughout the day. Bassist Rob Ross, acoustic guitarist Dave Quick and drummer Geo Frey are all from Torrington, with all three providing the vocals. Ross said that he and Quick had been playing together since 1977.
"It's nice that they keep it local," Ross said, of the band being chosen to play for the local crowd. "Got some sunshine, some nice fluffy clouds. It's beautiful."
Sandra Bielik and young nephew Ethan Bielik said they'd been to the carnival the previous year.
"We were here last year, he had a ball. He went on everything," Sandra Bielik said.
Jennifer Hale, who came with her husband Christopher and three children, aged 2, 3 and 4, said that she thought the event was really nice and that the donation fee of $10 for parking and $2 for people walking in was reasonable.
"The music, everything seems to be great a really good time for everyone," Tamra Freygang said. Freygang also mentioned that she thought people should be allowed to bring in their own food.
The North Redding, Mass.-based American Thunder Fireworks provided some late night lights, with Marilyn Plaskiewisc singing the national anthem. Northwest Idol Contestant Sara Larkin also planned to sing on stage during the day.
"The support and generosity of these businesses and residents is especially gratifying," Mayor Ryan Bingham said in a release prior to the event, "and I am so appreciative of their willingness to be a part of this worthwhile event."
Cablevision, Commercial Sewing Inc. and East Corinth VT Fire Department were the sponsors who contributed over $1,000 to the event. All Star Transportation, Dunkin Donuts, Target, O&G Industries Inc., Torrington Savings Bank and the Greenwoods Country Club all contributed between $500 and $999. Over 30 other groups contributed as well.

William "Billy" Haines (1900-1973) devoted his life to good taste and design, a passion he pursued after starring in his final film in 1934. On and off set, he was a self-proclaimed wisecrack, yet to his Hollywood friends he was a charming man of confidence, which made for a smooth transition from the silver screen to the living room interior. He famously remarked, "I can only tell you this – I would rather have taste than either love or money." After opening his own antique shop on La Brea Avenue, decorating costar Joan Crawford's home, and renovating and decorating acclaimed director George Cukor's home, Haines transformed the 10-acre Beverly Hills home of Jack Warner of Warner Brothers into "the most talked-about residence in Los Angeles." Haines' design vocabulary – Chinoiserie and Classical objects blended with a modern touch – is clearly represented in the Warner estate.
By the later years of his life, Haines was one of the most sought after interior designers, especially amongst the Hollywood elite. In 1960, Rita Roedling, daughter of Mervyn & Kitty LeRoy, commissioned Haines to produce numerous custom designs. The LeRoys are well-known for their contributions in the film industry. The renowned director Mervyn LeRoy produced The Wizard of Oz and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his extensive accomplishments in film. In the early 1950s, they collaborated with Haines to furnish the interior of their Samuel Marx-designed home in Bel Air. Around the same time in 1953, Haines worked with Tom & Anita May to furnish the interior of their Samuel Marx-designed home in Holmby Hills, a neighborhood adjacent to Beverly Hills and Bel Air. Both the Mays and LeRoys were passionate supporters of Haines.
While Haines was known for his flawless attention to detail and clever taste, he also had a discerning eye for design. As his business flourished in the 1940s and 50s, Haines began designing his own furniture and lamps. His custom lamps – usually incorporating acquired sculptures or antiques – were included in almost every interior. And no Haines interior was complete without custom furniture, from chairs and couches to entire dining room sets. The intersection of these early champions of Haines' interiors is displayed in the details of the Rita Roedling commission: a table lamp with a Tang Style figure, which incorporates a ceramic from the LeRoys' Haines and Marx interior, as well as two Ledge Back "Seniah" chairs, one of his most celebrated and enduring creations. Self-taught, ambitious, and modern, Haines pleased his prestigious clients by producing some of the most distinctive interiors of the 20th century.
