Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal take on Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, Adrian Clarke and Goodplaya.
Read on for their post-match thoughts and recap what they said before the game.
Some people are describing Saturday's win as the ultimate smash-and-grab but, on reflection, Liverpool didn't create a great deal in the second half after a dominant first half. Credit for that goes to the Arsenal defence, who relied heavily on Szczesny before the break but dealt far better with Suarez after it. We've run out of superlatives for Van Persie - suffice to say that he is now one of the most clinical strikers in the world. Two chances, two goals used to be the domain of Ian Wright but his all-round game was not a patch on Van Persie's. Arsenal actually improved after losing Arteta to injury but even the most optimistic of Gooners may not have predicted an away win as Liverpool came on strong in the final 10 minutes. Van Persie had the final word on what was a fantastic weekend for Arsenal's top-four - and even top-three - aspirations.
After the jubilation of last week's victory in the North London derby, Arsenal will go into this game in great spirits. The only problem is that so will Liverpool, after winning the Carling Cup. Arsène Wenger's side have not lost at Anfield since April 2008, and they really need something from this match if they are to maintain their momentum. The likes of Theo Walcott and Tomas Rosicky - if he makes it - will be flying, while Thomas Vermaelen and Laurent Koscielny must continue from where they left off in the second half against Tottenham. Liverpool are unbeaten at Anfield this season, but were Arsenal to win on Saturday they would take a major step to knocking Kenny Dalglish's men out of the race for fourth place. It is a big task but they're up to it.
Although football is a team game these three precious points for Arsenal were earned primarily due to the outstanding performances of two men, Wojciech Szczesny and Robin van Persie. In goal, our Polish custodian was simply sensational and at the other end of the pitch Van Persie's sheer class made the difference while his second goal was majestic. In general it wasn't a great Arsenal display and Liverpool can count themselves extraordinarily unlucky not to have least gained a point for their efforts but football can be a cruel mistress sometimes and I was delighted that the Gunners profited from good fortune on the day. Spurs are now firmly in our sights for third spot and this result should give the players belief that they can do it.
Let's hope that Arsenal can begin on Saturday lunchtime where they left off last time out. If it's possible to put our euphoria to one side - and I'm as excited as anyone by that performance against Spurs - we should be aware that Liverpool at Anfield represents one of the toughest tests of the season. In possession of the ball Arsène Wenger's men should be confident of creating chances and scoring goals but defensively it's going to require a very disciplined display from all 11 players if we're to keep the home side at bay. Hopefully lessons have been learned in that regard after our extremely shaky opening spell against Tottenham. If the Gunners can dominate possession and be at their incisive best this could be a famous away victory but if we hand the initiative to Liverpool it may prove to be a testing afternoon. This one should be a belter, so kick off can't arrive quickly enough for me!
Were we lucky? Well, certainly not to have scored two goals. There was nothing fortunate about either. Could we have conceded more than the one? Yes, but it is also true that a good save from a goalkeeper is not fortunate. That is what they are there for and after one or two less than perfect performances of late, Saturday was a good day for Wojciech Szczesny. Apart from our goals and a couple of chances for Theo Walcott after half-time, we never really clicked and for large parts of the game Liverpool were first to everything. But football is a weird old game and sometimes when you're on a run things go your way and equally the reverse can be true. It was hard not to watch this and think back to the Invincibles winning 2-1 in the same fixture eight years ago in very similar circumstances. A good win.
Not even the club's biggest critics could find fault in Sunday's comeback. To come back from 2-0 down at home to a Spurs side in their best form for many, many years was just brilliant. Not once during our glory period did they do that to us. So what happens now? Will Arsène think he has struck permanent gold with the unlikely Benayoun and Rosicky combination? I'd be surprised, though I could see him sticking with them for this fixture, one in which Rosicky actually enjoyed some success as a sub last season, in a 1-1 draw. Liverpool's recent cup success has been at the expense of their league form and a win at Anfield for us would probably mean another year without Champions League football for them. For us it is a must and so this is a big game.

When the University of St. Thomas Soccer Program won the Red River Athletics Conference championship in November, the team was excited to have about 400 tournament spectators. But there was nowhere for them to sit at the team's home field at the Houston Sports Park. The HSP lacks spectator seating, a sound system and a scoreboard.
To raise funds for the UST Soccer Program and support the University's partnership with the Houston Sports Park, the Houston community is invited to attend the Soccer Program Benefit Luncheon, hosted by Steve Zimmerman at 11:30 a.m. on May 15 at La Colombe d'Or, 3410 Montrose Blvd. The event will feature sports commentator and radio host Glenn Davis of Soccer Matters as master of ceremonies.
The HSP serves as the home of the University of St. Thomas men's and women's soccer programs, and it is also the official training facility of the Houston Dynamo, the Houston Dash and the Dynamo Academy. UST and the Houston Dynamo have a strategic plan to continue to develop HSP and create a premier dedicated match field for both parties..
After eight seasons as coach of the men's soccer team, Aaron Champenoy said the team has never had a place to call home on campus.
"This is our home away from home," Champenoy said. "It's a big thing for the growth of the soccer team to have the home field advantage, and it gives us some ownership and a place that we can call ours."
Plans for the field include a top-of-the-line multi-sport scoreboard, sound system and elevated spectator seating—facilities important for when UST hosts the conference tournament again in 2014.
"One of the biggest things about this benefit luncheon is, not only will it impact the men's and women's soccer team at St. Thomas, but it will benefit the Houston Dynamo Academy, and the entire Houston soccer community that uses that park," Champenoy said.
The Houston Sports Park was funded and developed by the City of Houston with the assistance of the Houston Parks Board LGC and is managed by the Houston Dynamo. The Houston Sports Park is located south of the city, 8 miles from the UST campus, and consists of five Bermuda grass fields and one FieldTurf field that can accommodate groups of all sizes.
The luncheon will feature a silent auction with sports memorabilia, including an autographed photo of Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo an autographed ball from UST's conference tournament champs and various other sports items. Current men's soccer players and coaching staff will be present to speak about the program, as well as signees of the new women's soccer program, which starts in the fall.
With the addition of the women's team, Champenoy said the luncheon is an opportunity for men and women to attend the luncheon and support athletic opportunities for women.
"It's a new team, and the Houston Sports Park will be their home, too."
Individual tickets for the benefit luncheon start at $150, and table sales start at $1,500. Download the registration form to donate or to reserve your place at the luncheon. For more information, contact Rosalinda Cantu at 713-525-3827.

Green Bay Sweeps Western Illinois 7-0 on Sunday
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's tennis team swept Western Illinois 7-0 on Sunday morning at Western Racquet and Fitness Club, improving to 10-5 overall and a perfect 5-0 on its home court. The Phoenix bounced back from a 4-1 loss at No. 49 Wisconsin on Saturday in Madison.
Green Bay rolled to a pair of convincing doubles wins and then rattled off five straight-set singles victories in Sunday's triumph over the Leathernecks. WIU had an incomplete lineup, giving the Phoenix victories at No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles.
Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) and Howard Scott (Exeter, England) cruised to an 8-2 win at No. 1 doubles, taking down Max Cederkall and Brandon Meeker, and Michael Tebon (Excelsior, Minn.) and Marius Merz (Heidelberg, Germany) knocked off Chris Bunch and Brett Furmanski 8-1 to help deliver the match's opening point.
Tenzer and Scott won at the top two spots in singles action, as Tenzer beat Mitch Granger 6-3, 6-4 at No. 1 and Scott downed Cederkall 6-3, 6-3 at No. 1. Also winning their singles contests in straight sets on Sunday were Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) at No. 3, Rowan Isaaks (London, England) at No. 4 and Jorge Gonzalez Soler (Madrid, Spain) at No. 5.
The Phoenix secured the doubles point on Saturday against the Badgers, but ultimately fell 4-1 after the hosts claimed wins at the top four singles spots.
Tebon and Leto won a tight contest at No. 2 doubles, defeating Wisconsin's Alexander Kokorev and John Zordani 8-7 (5), while Isaaks and Gomez Islinger won 8-3 at No. 3 over Petr Satral and Elliott Sprecher.
Gonzalez Soler was leading his No. 6 singles contest 7-5, 5-4 against Zordani, but the match went unfinished when the Badgers clinched the fourth and final point.
Green Bay's next two matches will be played in Florida, as the Phoenix travels to Stetson on March 18 before taking on Farleigh Dickinson in Orlando on March 20.

After interviewing several wall builders we decided that Outdoor Escape was the company we needed to work with. At the initial meetings Steve and Rees answered our questions and offered suggestions. Steve helped us contact suppliers and was there for us every step of the way. They were patient when we called and asked for modifications to our layout and sent us countless photos of the progress. The finished product proves that we placed our trust in the correct people.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Outdoor Escape to anyone wanting to build climbing walls.

In Focus: Marc Jacobs Beauty
We all know the story: Fancy designer / actress / singer gets approached by a cosmetics company who offers them a GAZILLION dollars to slap their name on a couple of beauty products, and voila! We've got a new celebrity
makeup line.
Kind of annoying, right?
Well, we got a hold of some of the original Marc Jacobs product sketches that were used to create the line (with a little design added so you can see the final product); personally I think they're adorbz, so I had to share. I love that you can tell how much input the designer himself had into the creation of the products; he wasn't slapping his name on anything (and if you think that Sephora would even allow that, I'm deeply offended *clutches pearls* )!
What's your favorite product from Marc Jacobs Beauty? Show & Tell!
Lash Lifter - Gel Volume Mascara: "What if we were to create a mascara component that looks like glass - filled with shiny blackest mascara? Also, let's play a bit with the shape and proportions to make it more unexpected!"
Marc Jacobs Beauty Compacts: "My fave finish is glossy, glossy, Black! (like a high shine lacquer) My favorite piece of furniture is an art deco lacquered black coffee table - 30 coats of Black lacquer!! that's the goal here!"
Lip Lock Moisture Balm: "Logo should literally 'stand out'. See sunglasses for raised letter - more pronounced, and always tactile!"
Remedy Concealer Pen: "What would be a new way of applying a concealer?? Make an unusual tip, like this one? A material that's 'cool' to the touch - soothes tired eyes!"
Style Eye-Con No.3 - Plush Shadow: "I'd like the "edges" to be softened - to feel sensuous, tactile, while still remaining sleek!"
Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer: "Rounded, glossy, black cap! Silver band (again!)"
candace that is super-cool! thanks for sharing! and LOL at the indignant pearl clutching, hahaha
This is so cute. I have a bunch of Marc Jacob stuff I haven't gotten around to using, like the nail polishes and lip gloss. I do love his liquid foundation. It works so well. Both of the eyeliners are awesome too.
I LOVE the MJ nail lacquer in LOLA which is a gorgeous true red. It's bright and sexy but but still appropriate for business. I go 2 weeks between manicures and it holds up beautifully. I am looking forward to trying other colors.
I love the little drawings on each sheet--THAT'S a personal touch!
I don't have any Marc Jacob's yet. I forgot to check out the products last week when I was at Sephora (how could I forget?!).
Wow! Mark Jacobs certainly does have a flair for design outside of just clothes. I never noticed it until seeing this, but the little details he pointed out definitely make the products "appear" more luxe.
My fave product is by far the nail Lacquers. I LOVE Fluorescent Beige, so pretty.
I had The Vamp look done on me in store and played with the highliners Blacquer and Jazzberry. I love the long-lasting creamy formula. Gel liner in a twist up stick, very soft to apply then sets. What could be better, really?

Provost & Vice-President: Academic
Laurier launches the Centre for Women in Science
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 9/12
Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Centre for Women in Science (WinS) celebrated its official launch Thursday with a visit from Melissa Franklin, Mallinckrodt professor of physics and chair of the Physics Department at Harvard University. Guests also met the centres distinguished advisory board and faculty, and participated in hands-on science demonstrations conducted by Laurier students.
I love that this is coming out of Wilfrid Laurier University, said Franklin. Im really looking forward to all the students at Laurier both men and women becoming scientists, because we have a lot of science to do in the next century. We need everybody we can get because we have a lot of serious problems [to tackle].
The WinS mission is to build a strong community for women in science and the mathematical social sciences through research, action and communication. Franklin is a fitting example of the centres goals. Born and raised in Canada, Franklin is a pioneer as a scientist and a woman: she was the co-discoverer of the top quark, a fundamental particle of nature, and the first woman to achieve tenure in Harvards Physics Department.
In 2008, only 30 per cent of mathematics, computer science and information science graduates in Canada were female, which represents a decrease from 35 per cent in 1990.
Although women make up more than a third of full-time faculty in Canada, fewer than 20 per cent of Tier 1 Canada Research Chairs are held by women, said Abby Goodrum, Lauriers vice-president: research. Its been suggested that the lack of female representation in prestigious research positions is not due to active choices made during the selection process alone, but the result of many factors that contribute to the ongoing challenge of attracting and retaining women in science, from the earliest stages of their training all the way through their careers.
Other facts showcased during the event:
- Studies show zero difference in science aptitude between school-aged boys and girls
- Only three per cent of women in the Canadian workforce work in natural sciences and engineering
- It could take an entire century before women hold 50 per cent of university faculty positions in science and engineering
We recently celebrated Lauriers 100-year anniversary in another 100 years, lets not celebrate the 100th anniversary of this centre, said Shohini Ghose, professor of Physics & Computer Science at Laurier and director of WinS. We should not exist because we should not have to exist. Our goal is, in fact, to shut ourselves down as soon as possible.
WinS will provide grants and support to female scientists and to scholars studying the role of women in the sciences. In addition, it will organize seminars, workshops and conferences, develop partnerships with other educational institutions and with industry, facilitate networking and mentoring opportunities for female scientists, and support community outreach to female youth considering careers in science.
Were here today to launch the Centre for Women in Science, and in particular recognize the hard work that Shohini has put into the centre, said Paul Jessop, dean of Lauriers Faculty of Science. Its gratifying to see the degree of enthusiasm and support, as evidenced by the crowd here today. The centre has really resonated with people.

Moving can be a stressful, time consuming, and difficult ordeal. Choosing the best Slidell rent a truck company is one way to help make the process more efficient and easier. Some of the most important factors in choosing a truck rental company are the duration of the rental, the cost per mile, what accessories are available or necessary, and the size of the vehicle. All of these factors will vary slightly from company to company but make up the general pricing for a rental.
If you already have a truck but need extra space to haul everything in one trip, a trailer rental might be a good choice. Different companies have a variety of equipment and vehicles available for rent. Some offer van rental, others offer a pickup truck rental, while others offer everything in-between. When you rent a truck from a Slidell truck rental company, be sure to have an idea of how much space you will need to transport everything. If you get a rental truck that is too small, you might end up making more than one moving trip, which can end up breaking your budget. Some rentals also charge by the mile so if you can, try to make the move to Slidell in just one trip. The important thing to remember is to simply be prepared. Planning your move, with the help of Moving.com, will make your move easier.
People wishing to relocate tend to have many questions about all aspects of renting a truck, from safety of propery to the cost for varying service levels and truck types. Luckily, Moving.com is here to help. It is understandable to have questions, since moving affects so many aspects of your life. Will my property be safe? You should contact your truck rental company directly to know exactly what measures are taken to safeguard your property. You may decide go directly to the company's location in Slidell to inspect the fleet.Is truck rental expensive? Moving companies and truck rental companies often offer packaged deals, which may be cheaper than organizing a move's components individually. For how long will I need to rent a truck? This mostly depends on the destination, and the amount of the property being moved. Work with your chosen truck rental company to determine exactly what size of vehicle you will need to rent.
|Income and Jobs
A lot of people tend to worry over the actual costs of moving rather than making the move. Moving alone can be hard if you do not know how you will move. If you worry about prices, it is always advisable to work with quotes from various Slidell moving truck service providers, so that you know how to budget. Insurance is also very important especially if you are moving interstate; the more rental trucks companies you have to choose from the better. Reviewing previous customer feedback can also help you make an informed decision. All in all, the most important thing that will help you make a decision will be the price and service quality.

Microsoft's announcement that it is launching its own first-party hardware for a family of Windows tablets is welcome news: If you want a job done right, do it yourself. While Asus, Lenovo, Nokia, Samsung, and Toshiba are expected to launch their own Windows RT products this year, other major OEMs are notably absent from the list, either because they're focused on x86 devices first or because they were locked out of the launch like HTC. Microsoft's Surface tablets will run on both chipsets.
Microsoft has so many assets to bring to its own hardware: Smartglass, a "Kinect camera," Skype, Barnes & Noble Nook content, Microsoft Office (although that won't be exclusive to Windows), just to name a few. While skeptics rightly criticize past Microsoft hardware failures like the Zune player, Xbox is a more recent example of resounding success. With the next generation of the Xbox "720" due out soon, Microsoft will have ample opportunity to bundle and promote the two products together and sell its tablets through the same consumer retail channels — although to start at least, the Surfaces will only be available at Microsoft Stores and online, which certainly limits adoption potential.
This product line marks a crucial pivot in Microsoft's product strategy. It blends the Xbox first-party hardware model with the Windows ecosystem model. It puts the focus on the consumer rather than the enterprise. And it lets Microsoft compete with vertically integrated Apple on more even ground.

My Fett's been offline due to my knee plates shattering at an event. However, I picked up a set of Slave1Pilot's knees and I love them! I just finished painting them.
I used tulip fabric paint to paint them. It works really well and there's enough elasticity in the paint to flex with the knees and not crack!

Comments about skin prep scrub:
I love, love, love this scrub! It makes my face feel smooth and extremely clean. My face also looks brighter! Thanks so much dermalogica!
Comments about skin prep scrub:
This is a great exfoliant. I use it twice a week on my skin and sometime before I shave my legs!
Comments about skin prep scrub:
42yo guy with super sensitive skin that can easily break out depending on ingredients. My aesthetician recommended this to me and as always, she was right! I use this 1-2x/week and truly enjoy the benefits it provides. Abrasive enough to exfoliate gently without irritating my skin. A little goes a long way so it is worth every dollar. It has become a staple in my skin care regimen.
Best Uses
Comments about skin prep scrub:
I use it twice a week to improve the appereance of my skin.
Best Uses
Comments about skin prep scrub:
I love using this Monday morning after a long weekend, feel refreshed and ready for the week. I use it 2-3 times a week or as needed. Like that it is gentle, yet does a great job removing the ick and leaving nice soft skin.
Comments about skin prep scrub:
I was recommended the product during a facial, and on an impulse I purchased it. BEST impulse by this year! I love, love, love the product, and since then have purchased several more products. I use in rotation with precleanse, the clay cleanser and active moist and my skin thanks me every day. I beyond impressed with the texture of my skin immediately after using it.
Comments about skin prep scrub:
I use this when I have extra dead skin that needs sloughing around my nose, chin and between my eyebrows. It's not harsh and I go easy when applying. I tend to use it right before a mask or as a little extra in the morning.
Comments about skin prep scrub:
I find that this is a good exfoliant and leaves skin refreshed and clean. It can sometimes be difficult to clean beads entirely off face but overall I would recommend.
Comments about skin prep scrub:
I love this product, it has a very natural feel and helps keep my skin bright.
Comments about skin prep scrub:
This is the only scrub I use! It does not irritate my sensitive skin and it smells gentle and fresh. I suffer from acne and use other prescribed acne medications and this does not irritate my face even when I use the other acne medications. It's so gentle, smells great and lasts a long time. This product has been officially added to my regiment and I now purchase it regularly since I cannot live without it!

Many organizations have found themselves drawn to virtualization and cloud computing architectures for the many benefits, only to find that the complexity of ensuring adequate data security was simply too great an obstacle. But the adoption of these technologies is inevitable. By deploying memory-based solutions for distributed database monitoring, enterprises will find that it is not only possible to protect sensitive information in these emerging computing models, but that the same architecture also provides both more effective and more efficient data security across their dedicated database servers as well.
� This paper provides an overview of three key technology challenges in protecting sensitive data and how an architecture designed for distributed monitoring at the database memory level instead of network monitoring can best address them.
� Understand the importance of bringing security inspection closer to the target. When deploying "virtual appliances" to run software formerly run by a dedicated appliance, enable visibility into virtual machine to virtual machine transactions.
� Learn why a security solution based on sensors running side by side with databases on every host machine works in all database environments, including cloud and hybrid environments. And, why the dynamic nature of this type of solution that comes up (and goes down) with every database.
� Understand why any wide area network architecture that requires off-host processing of database transactions to determine policy violations is unlikely to be responsive enough to prevent attacks.

This is my first post. I have a 1 acre beaver pond with water oaks on two sides that bear acorns abundantly every year. The pond is approximately 10 years old, an a lot of the big timber has died out and is now submerged logs/stumps, along with most of the smaller willow trees. The beaver still maintain the pond, but they have also moved downstream approx 60 yards below my dam & built another dam, creating another pond. The bad thing is, the new dam/pond is on my neighbor's property.
Here is my dilemna: between 80-150 ducks are roosting on HIS pond every night and flying off at daylight to parts unknown and paying my pond no attention. We have killed several ducks in my pond thru the years, but now they are not coming in like they used to, hardly at all. The two ponds are only a very few yards apart, but his pond has much more cover than mine.
What can I do to get ducks???? Is there any hope this close to a roost pond? I refuse to shoot them coming into roost in the evening.

By the time you read this, I'll be close to quitting. No, not quitting this column or even this life. I'll be near quitting the crazy race I'm running with my running group, Running for Rhet. (www.runninforrhett.org)
By the time you read this, I'll be close to quitting.
No, not quitting this column or even this life. I'll be near quitting the crazy race I'm running with my running group, Running for Rhet. (www.runninforrhett.org)
The race is the California International Marathon and it's been held in Sacramento for the past 30 years on the first Sunday in December. As marathons go, this one is popular for its lack of hills. Many runners use the net drop in elevation to qualify for the Boston marathon, but I'm just hoping to finish in five hours and remove it from my "bucket list."
No, this isn't a sports column. It's still a spiritual column, but this time I'm not giving spiritual support, I'm asking for it. I figure that telling you and a few hundred thousand other readers that I'm running a 26-mile race is the best insurance against quitting.
Still, if you're prone to bet, there are several reasons you might not want to place your spiritual currency on me to finish.
For instance, we've trained for 16 weeks, but I've missed much of the coaching sessions because I was deployed or vacationing.
Plus, it's supposed to rain. For the past several weeks, I've been telling my coaches, Rochelle and Will Hightower, that I'd be a no-show if it rains. But now, I have to go because I've told you I will.
I suppose I should be thankful that it shouldn't be the cold rain we usually get in Northern California. Weather forecasters are saying temperatures will be in the upper 40s. Unfortunately, they are also using phrases like "flood watch" and 40 mph gusts.
Of course, if you are a superstitious bettor, you ought not place your wagers on me. My race number is 1313 or depending on how you say it, "thirteen-thirteen."
To add to all of those whining excuses, I've strained a calf muscle and this will be my first run since Nov. 16.
This past week, I visited sports medicine doctor and co-medical director of the race, Meredith Bean. She's a very nice doctor who told me to ice my calf six times a day and stretch at least that many times. She even invited me to look for her at the finish line, unwittingly adding the caveat, "If you finish." I heard the accent on the "if."
Despite the odds of finishing, I'm feeling a bit like the character Forrest Gump in the 1994 movie of the same name. Forrest was a seemingly simple-minded mama's boy whose leg braces caused him to be the constant target of school bullies.
The movie's theme may have been best expressed in the scene where Forrest's friend, Jenny, pleads with him to escape the bullies by chanting, "Run, Forrest. Run!"
And so he does, but with an unsteady gait.
As he's running, the braces miraculously fall off and Forrest outruns his bicycle-riding pursuers. At that moment, he realizes for the very first time in his life that he is good at something.
I started running one year ago and a lot of things have miraculously fallen off. I've lost nearly 30 pounds. Much of the self-doubt went with it. I now feel like I can accomplish nearly anything if I simply keep a steady pace of improvement.
So, if you are betting on me, log onto www.runcim.org after 10 a.m. today and type in 1313 to see where I am or see the results.
Then I want you to put your nose to the computer screen and start chanting, "Run Norris Run." I'm hoping it just might help.

Memories of Altrincham
The Bus Station
I remember walking past the tea bar on my way from George Street to the bus station to catch either the 71 or the 80 to Stockport Road/Hare and Hounds, Timperley. I did this every day whilst being a pupil at North Cestrian Grammar School
Altrincham , Old Houses 1903
I have lived all my life in Altricham and I am thinking that these houses were opposite the library in Altrincham, that used to be next to the Stamford Hall. I can't remember the name of the road but these cottages had slate roofs in the 1960's when I saw them as a child. All the buildings were demolished in the late 1970's when Petros developments built what is now Rackhams etc .....
Cross Street 01
The large corner "shop" on the left was the showroom of North West Gas where you could pay your gas bill. This is now Dawsons music and instrument shop. The corner shop on the right was Hawkins tailors, on two floors. This is now a MacDonalds restaurant.

I have no problem with giving Stubbs and Cozy days off as they're scuffling. Rolen takes 'em all the time, and could certainly use one also. Mes needs to play more as it is.
But for the love of God... FREE FRAZIER!!
EDIT: Even if Dusty's man-love for Harris compels him to play him today, put him in CF. Heisey could sure use a day off too.

Makes some sense to play Harris and Valdez today to get them some time before Cairo comes back. I wonder if they are playing for jobs at this point or if they will just send Frazier down again when Cairo is ready.

I sure would have liked Frazier at third instead of Harris....
vs. righties in 2012 (small sample sizes):
Frazier is .222/.417/.444 for an OPS of .861.
Harris is .097/.125/.161 for an OPS of .286.
Of course, Harris may have a killer day against Dempster today. Lifetime, Willie is hitting .429 (3 for 7) against Dempster.

What a horrid lineup! Bailey had better pich a gem today. Also if Rolen can't play today after having three straight off days from Sunday to Tuesday then he needs to retire now. Put Frazier in and see what he can do on a regular basis.
Reds Fan Since 1971
Why is he a good choice against Dempster?
I assume it is based on minor league numbers.
Harris and Valdez are veterans who should get a chance to play once in awhile. Nothing wrong with it.
Frazier is a RedsZone darling. I hope he succeeds, but I don't see the compelling need to play him against Dempster. Don't see the need for this particular game.
Now, if somebody wants to give Todd an extended trial at third base for a month or two, then I could see him playing in a game like this. I just don't see the matchup with Dempster.
I do not fashion myself a lineup complainer. However.....
This is bad.
"Strickland Propane... Taste the meat, not the heat." - Hank Hill
Regarding his poor OPS vs RH last year, he had a .203 BABIP against RH. So, I would expect increased production. Furthermore, I see very little upside to having both Valdez and Harris in the lineup, as neither can hit especially well.
In short, I think that Frazier should stay and that either Harris or Valdez should get the red note in their locker. But that's just me.

New York, NY – As Kofi Annan's term as United Nations Secretary-General ends next year, Equality Now is calling on the Security Council to consider a woman for the top post at the world organization. The international women's rights group is re-launching its Time for a Woman campaign, first initiated in 1996 prior to Secretary-General Annan's first term. In the 60 years since the UN was founded, no woman has ever served as its leader despite a wealth of qualified women candidates.
"Tradition has it that the Secretary-General position should rotate to give each geographical region a 'turn,'" said Jessica Neuwirth, President of Equality Now, "but women, who constitute more than half of the world's population, have never had a 'turn.'"
Despite a pledge to reach 50-50 gender parity in the UN system by the year 2000 and annual resolutions calling for greater progress towards this goal, the premier international institution continues to fall short of its long overdue target of equal representation at the top of its leadership. Women constitute only 16% of the Under-Secretaries General who serve in the UN.
Equality Now's Executive Director Taina Bien-Aimé noted, "Women's unequal access to positions of decision-making power in the UN and around the world hinders progress toward all the United Nations' goals, including equality, development and peace."
The Beijing Platform for Action adopted at the UN Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 calls for the development of "mechanisms to nominate women candidates for appointment to senior posts in the United Nations." Yet there is no such mechanism, and in fact no transparency in the process of election to the highest post of Secretary-General, making it impossible to know who is under consideration as a candidate and on what basis.
As part of its campaign, Equality Now is putting forth names of highly-qualified women world leaders who could be considered for the position, including current and former Heads of State, Foreign Ministers and UN Under-Secretaries General. The list, which can be found on Equality Now's website, includes former Prime Minister of Norway Gro Harlem Brundtland, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour, and the current Latvian President, Vaira Vike-Freiberga.
"Women candidates for the Secretary-General post should be given full and equal consideration with male candidates," said Angela King, former Special Advisor to the Secretary-General on Gender Issues and the Advancement of Women. "This is surely at the core of the goals of the UN's Charter to achieve gender equality, fundamental human rights and equal opportunities for both sexes."
Gloria Steinem, recalling the role of one woman in the founding of the United Nations, said "Without the advocacy of Eleanor Roosevelt and the support and lobbying of women worldwide, the United Nations might not exist. There have always been women who were well-qualified to be Secretary General, yet the standard of representation has been limited to males from various regions. It's high time to look to the female half of the world for the new broom that will clean and lead this international house of all our human hopes."

Both men and women enjoy these rum-flavored, raisin-filled goodies. I think they're best served warm with mugs of hot coffee or cappuccino.
Recommended: 30 Dessert Recipes for Raisin Lovers
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1-1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup 2% milk
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extract. Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating just until combined. Toss raisins with remaining flour. Fold raisins and pecans into batter.
- Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Immediately brush muffins with syrup. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

Herpes zoster, or shingles, is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which results in a painful rash of small blisters on a strip of skin anywhere on the body. On some occasions, even after the rash is gone, the pain may continue for a prolonged period of time.
Herpes zoster is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has had chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in the nerves. Herpes zoster is more common in persons with a depressed immune system, and in persons over the age of 50. It is quite rare in children and the symptoms are mild compared to what an adult may experience. Children who have weakened immune systems may experience the same, or more severe, symptoms as adults.
Herpes zoster most often occurs on the trunk and buttocks. However, it may appear on the arms, legs, or face. The following are the most common symptoms of herpes zoster. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of herpes zoster may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis usually involves obtaining a medical history of your child and performing a physical examination. Diagnosis may also include:
Specific treatment for herpes zoster will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Medication may help alleviate some of the pain, but the disease has to run its course. Immediate treatment with antiviral drugs may help lessen some of the symptoms. Use of medication will be determined by your child's physician based on the age of the child and the severity of the symptoms.

Yet Another COMCOT Optimization Story
[By: Tom Logan]
Part I: Background
The imminent retirement of iceflyer and nelchina means that some ARSC users must again start migrating codes to the latest platform. I recently ported a couple of tsunami models to midnight, and thought it might be helpful to document the experience.
The first task was to establish baseline run times and output files from the current platform - the power4 nodes of iceberg. The codes were compiled using,
-O5 -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qstrict -q64 -qsmp=auto
and run using 8 threads. Two different benchmark scenarios were tested for comparison:
IBM POWER4 Numbers: UAF Tsunami COMCOT Wallclock (sec) Wallclock (sec) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Benchmark 1 3348 1252 Benchmark 2 3413 1240
Part II: The Initial Port, Validation, & Compiler Optimizations
Since the codes use portable Fortran 90 syntax, the actual port was fairly simple. The makefiles were modified to use the pathf90 compiler and the command line switches were modified for the new environment. Most notably, the -byteswapio switch kept the endianness of all I/O the same.
Several different complier optimizations were attempted and all outputs were verified as correct. Performance results follow (since the two benchmarks run in nearly the same amount of time, only the first is reported here):
UAF Tsunami Code COMCOT Switches Wallclock (sec) Wallclock (sec) ------------------------------------------------------------------ -O3 4762 2243 -Ofast 5057 2328 -O3 -apo, 4way 1980 2220 -O3 -apo, 16way 1395 2509
From these results, we can see a few things:
- Using -Ofast is NOT always faster than using -O3. Always try different optimization levels and compare timings as well as RESULTS. (Faster code that gives the wrong answer is never an acceptable trade.)
- The UAF Tsunami code takes well to the auto-parallelization, and, as a result, its run times are sufficient.
- The COMCOT model did not respond to the auto-parallelization attempts. Thus, further optimization needed to be pursued.
PART III: Auto-Parallelization of COMCOT using manual means
As always, the first thing to do when optimizing a code is to profile it by recompiling with the -pg switch, running the model, and, provided it's a serial code, using gprof on the resulting gmon.out file:
mg56% gprof comcot Flat profile: Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds. % cumulative self self total time seconds seconds calls Ks/call Ks/call name 75.69 10186.48 10186.48 16203 0.00 0.00 momt_s__ 13.62 12018.98 1832.49 16203 0.00 0.00 mass_s__ 3.72 12519.05 500.07 5401 0.00 0.00 jnz_ 2.69 12881.36 362.31 10802 0.00 0.00 minmax_ 1.50 13083.84 202.48 5401 0.00 0.00 change_ . . .
Since one routine is taking 75% of the time, that's the obvious place to focus the optimization efforts.
Long-term readers of the ARSC Newletter may notice that this is not the first optimization of COMCOT. Five years ago, the code was ported and optimized for chilkoot, the SV1ex system, October 2002, > issue #255 . Later the code had to be optimized for iceflyer/iceberg, the IBMs, September 2006, issues > #347 & > 348 Re-reading the more recent articles reminded me that momt_s was the troubled routine on iceberg as well. The solution that time was to simply add a single directive (4 times) telling the compiler the loops truly were parallel in nature.
After an overview of compiler options and e-mails with Pathscale, it turns out that no feedback on auto-parallelization is readily available for that compiler suite. In addition no compiler directives to control auto-parallelization are provided. This left me with applying OpenMP directives by hand. The original code:
!IBM* INDEPENDENT do i=is,ixm1 ip1 = i+1 !IBM* INDEPENDENT do j=js,l%jy if ((l%h(i,j).gt.zero) .and. (l%h(ip1,j).gt.zero)) then if (j .le. js) then jm1 = js else jm1 = j-1 endif if (j .ge. l%jy) then jp1 = l%jy else jp1 = j+1 endif tot_n = l%n(i,j,1)+l%n(ip1,j,1)+l%n(i,jm1,1)+l%n(ip1,jm1,1) xm = l%m(i,j,1)-l%r2(i,j)*(l%z(ip1,j,2)-l%z(i,j,2))+l%r3(i,j)*tot_n-l%r2(i,j)* twlvth*((l%z(ip1,jp1,2)-2*l%z(ip1,j,2)+l%z(ip1,jm1,2))-(l%z(i,jp1,2)-2* l%z(i,j,2)+l%z(i,jm1,2))) if (abs(xm) .lt. eps) xm = zero l%m(i,j,2) = xm else l%m(i,j,2) = 0.0 end if end do end doBecame:
!$OMP PARALLEL DO PRIVATE(ip1,jm1,jp1,tot_n,xm) do i=is,ixm1 ip1 = i+1 do j=js,l%jy if ((l%h(i,j).gt.zero) .and. (l%h(ip1,j).gt.zero)) then if (j .le. js) then jm1 = js else jm1 = j-1 endif if (j .ge. l%jy) then jp1 = l%jy else jp1 = j+1 endif tot_n = l%n(i,j,1)+l%n(ip1,j,1)+l%n(i,jm1,1)+l%n(ip1,jm1,1) xm = l%m(i,j,1)-l%r2(i,j)*(l%z(ip1,j,2)-l%z(i,j,2))+l%r3(i,j)*tot_n-l%r2(i,j)* twlvth*((l%z(ip1,jp1,2)-2*l%z(ip1,j,2)+l%z(ip1,jm1,2))-(l%z(i,jp1,2)-2* l%z(i,j,2)+l%z(i,jm1,2))) if (abs(xm) .lt. eps) xm = zero l%m(i,j,2) = xm else l%m(i,j,2) = 0.0 end if end do end do
Rerunning the code showed that my quick OpenMP fix worked well:
COMCOT Switches Wallclock (sec) ------------------------------------------------------------------ -O3 2243 -Ofast 2328 -O3 -apo, 4way 2220 -O3 -apo, 16way 2509 -O3 -apo -mp, 4way 1045 [With OpenMP directive inserted] -O3 -apo -mp, 16way 789 [With OpenMP directive inserted]
The final version of the code executes in 63% of the time it took on iceberg. This is sufficient for standard runs of the model.
PART IV: Why do I have to keep doing this?
This is all great, but one may ask why couldn't either the XLF or the Pathscale compilers auto-parallelize these loops?
Although the pathscale compiler does not give an auto-parallelization report, one can get a vectorization report using the "-LNO:simd_verbose" switch. This reports:
Non-contiguous array "L(L.0.456)" references exist, Loop was not vectorized.
But, we can easily see that the calculation of tot_n references several non-contiguous values of l%n. However, since the loop can be parallelized, this does not provide an answer to the question.
The IBM XLF compiler stated:
"Loop cannot be automatically parallelized. A dependency is carried by variable aliasing or function call."
Now, this does help out. If we remove the intermediate variable xm, we see that
l%m(i,j,2) = l%m(i,j,1)-...
So, one of two possibile explanations come to mind. First, the use of the user defined fortran type (l) might be confusing the compiler. After all, parts of l are referenced 12 times in just the "xm=" equation. Alternately, the fact that the third dimension of the arrays really signify old and new values may be lost to the compiler and the simple fact that l%m(i,j,2) relies on values of l%m(i,j,1) may be the cause of confusion.
In either case, with the portability of OpenMP, I won't have to do this again, right? One can only hope...
The Joys of Segmentation Faults
[ By: Lee Higbie ]
On Midnight, as on many machines, the "segmentation fault" is not very informative. There are many possible causes, but that which the diagnostic offers, "This is likely to have been caused by a stack overflow. Use your shell's ulimit or limit command to see if your stack size limit is too small," is likely to be incorrect because stack defaults to unlimited most of the time. (One can check this value with the "ulimit -s" command.)
Another likely "segmentation fault" cause is a subscript out of bounds. You can at least set your program to catch this type of error by compiling with the -C option, as,
pathf95 -C .... or mpif90 -C .... or pathf90 -C ....
This will flag subscripts that are too large or too small so you can check the errant subscript or dimensioning.
The pathscale compiler manual says that if you set the environment variable:
export F90_BOUNDS_CHECK_ABORT=YES
the program will stop at the first out of range subscript (see: > http://www.arsc.edu/support/howtos/usingsun.html#mpi for instructions on passing environment variables to MPI programs), but this doesn't work (at least not all the time). If you use it anyway, you will catch the errors, even if you get a ton of output along with the bit you need.
For example,
do i = 1, 1000 do j = 0, i x(i, j) = 0 enddo enddo
would generate a thousand error messages if j's lower index bound is declared as the default of 1. The compiler should warn that the subscript j goes out of range, but I've never seen a compiler that does. Not in Fortran or in any other language.
Fortran Floating Point Traps for Linux
[ By: Don Bahls ]
For this week's quick tip question we were looking for a way to trap floating point exceptions (i.e. produce a core dump when a floating point exception occurs). The question was limited to Linux since the IBM XL compilers on AIX have some great built-in features for handling these exceptions. The best solution I've found is the feenableexcept routine which gcc provides as an extension to the C99 standard. This routine lets you enable particular IEEE exceptions so that a core dump results when the exception occurs.
I didn't find a standard way to do this in Fortran, that's not to say there isn't one, but I didn't find one. In any case, when I couldn't find a Fortran solution for this, I decided to try the C99 solution for Fortran. As it turns out this method worked out nicely. It works for every Fortran compiler I tried. The list included PGI, PathScale, Sun Studio, g77, and gfortran on SLES 9 and Fedora Core 7.
Note this technique really only works on Linux systems and may not work on Linux systems using non-Intel family processors.
The simple solution
This quick solution to this is to simply write a void C function that takes no parameters and enables all of the needed exceptions. Once compiled, this C code can be called from the Fortran program.
The following C code demonstrates a simple solution:
#define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fenv.h> void enable_exceptions_() { int retval; /* feenableexcept returns the previous exceptions that were enabled on success, otherwise it returns -1 */ retval=feenableexcept( FE_DIVBYZERO FE_INVALID FE_OVERFLOW FE_UNDERFLOW ); if ( retval == -1 ) { fprintf(stderr, "Warning: call to feenableexcept() failed \n"); } } /* This second routine is for Fortran compilers such as g77 and pathf90 which follow the f2c name mangling style */ void enable_exceptions__() { enable_exceptions_(); }
To compile this code use:
% gcc fpe.c -Wall -g -c # results in fpe.o
Note since feenableexcept is a gcc extension I'm using the GNU compiler to ensure all of the corresponding header files will be present.
To use this routine from a Fortran code simply call the enable_exceptions routine. Here's a simple Fortran code which has a floating point exception (division by zero).
program exception real*4 a real*4 b call enable_exceptions() a=1 b=0 a=a/b ! with exceptions enabled the code should crash here. print *,"a=", a end program
To compile:
% pathf90 -g exceptions.f90 fpe.o -lm -o exception # results in exceptions
When the code is run it will now produce a core dump as soon as the divide by zero is encountered.
mg56 % ./exceptions Floating point exception (core dumped)
Which makes the bug quite easy to track down with a debugger.
mg56 % gdb ./exceptions GNU gdb 6.3 Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions.

Current language: auto; currently fortran
General Solution
The more general solution to this problem would be to make the feenableexcept callable directly from Fortran. This lets you selectively enable floating point exceptions from the Fortran code. There is one minor complication to this design. That is making the exception types available to Fortran, since they are defined in a C header file. The way I got around this was by writing a simple C program that generates a Fortran header file. I could have done this manually, but it's probably better to have an automated way to do this in case the constants vary from system to system.
Here's the code:
mg56 % more build_fortran_header.c #include <fenv.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { printf(" INTEGER*4 FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_INEXACT, FE_INVALID, FE_OVERFLOW, FE_UNDERFLOW, FE_ALL_EXCEPT\n"); printf(" parameter ( FE_DIVBYZERO = %d )\n", FE_DIVBYZERO); printf(" parameter ( FE_INEXACT = %d )\n", FE_INEXACT); printf(" parameter ( FE_INVALID = %d )\n", FE_INVALID); printf(" parameter ( FE_OVERFLOW = %d)\n", FE_OVERFLOW); printf(" parameter ( FE_UNDERFLOW = %d )\n", FE_UNDERFLOW); printf(" parameter ( FE_ALL_EXCEPT = %d )\n", FE_ALL_EXCEPT); return 0; } mg56 % gcc build_fortran_header.c -o build_fortran_header
When the resultant executable is run, it will produce a Fortran header file.
mg56 % ./build_fortran_header > fenv.fh
As shown here:
mg56 % more fenv.fh INTEGER*4 FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_INEXACT, FE_INVALID, FE_OVERFLOW, FE_UNDERFLOW, FE_ALL_EXCEPT parameter ( FE_DIVBYZERO = 4 ) parameter ( FE_INEXACT = 32 ) parameter ( FE_INVALID = 1 ) parameter ( FE_OVERFLOW = 8) parameter ( FE_UNDERFLOW = 16 ) parameter ( FE_ALL_EXCEPT = 61 )
Here the constants used by the feenableexcept were named the same as the corresponding C constants for consistency sake, but this isn't a requirement.
The new Fortran interface to the C routine looks like this:
mg56 % more fenv.c #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fenv.h> void feenableexcept_(int * except) { int retval; /* feenableexcept returns the previous exceptions that were enabled on success, otherwise it returns -1 */ retval=feenableexcept( *except ); if ( retval == -1 ) { fprintf(stderr, "Warning: call to feenableexcept() failed \n"); } } /* This second routine is for Fortran compilers such as g77 and pathf90 which follow the f2c name mangling style */ void feenableexcept__(int * except) { feenableexcept_(except); }
The pointer arguments are to handle the call by reference calling convention used by Fortran. There are also two versions of the routine, to cover two common Fortran name mangling styles.
mg56 % gcc fenv.c -Wall -g -c
Optionally you can produce a library from the object file.
mg56 % ar -r libfenv.a fenv.o ar: creating libfenv.a
The Fortran code can now directly enable traps for the selected floating point exceptions. The following code enables the traps divide by zero, overflow, and underflow. E.g.:
mg56 % more exceptions2.f90 program exception include 'fenv.fh' real*4 a real*4 b ! or is the bitwise or operator call feenableexcept( or(FE_DIVBYZERO, or(FE_OVERFLOW, FE_UNDERFLOW)) ) a=1 b=0 a=a/b ! with exceptions enabled the code should crash here. print *,"a=", a end program
The compile statement becomes:
mg56 % pathf90 exceptions2.f90 fenv.o -g -o exceptions2
Alternatively if you opted to use the library method it would be:
mg56 % pathf90 exceptions2.f90 -L . -lfenv -g -o exceptions2
Further Exercises
The GNU C compiler also includes a second routine fedisableexcept which disables floating point exceptions. This routine could be wrapped similarly to feenableexcept to provide a way to disable exceptions.
That task is left as an exercise.
Happy Holidays -- See You Next Year
The bits were still switching, While all about ARSC, The cubicles felt empty, And echoed like karst, With no one to watch them, The bits became nibbles, And bytes and then blocks, And then ran out in dribbles, They poured on the floor, Filled the room to the ceiling, A tsunami of data, Filled me with such feeling! ... But it just had to wait...
The newsletter editors wish you Happy Holidays. The letters from North Pole have been mailed. We won't bother you again till January 11th.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ The IBM compilers have some nice options for tracking down floating [[ exceptions. I took a look at the man page for both gcc and PathScale [[ and don't see anything similar. Is there a easy way to trap floating [[ point exceptions with compilers on a Linux system? Basically I want [[ the code to produce a core dump as soon as a floating point exception [[ occurs. # # Editor's response # GNU compilers on Linux include the routine, "feenableexcept" as an extension to the C99 standard. This lets you trap particular floating point exceptions. This is very much a Linux only solution from what I have seen... it won't work on AIX or Mac OS X. See the article "Fortran Floating Point Traps for Linux" (above) for an example of how to use feenableexcept. The man page is also useful. Q: I downloaded and untarred a mondo source code, spanning many sub-directories. I've made changes here and there, to about 25 files. Now I need to figure out which files I changed, copy them out, and back them up. My problem is that at least 10 of the updated files have the same name ("makefile"). Thus, the complete PATH to each file is critical information. How can I identify the changed files, extract them, and associate them with their PATHs so I'll know later where they came from?

text: Last October, Chris Brown punched a guy in the face. Earlier today Chris Brown pleaded guilty to that crime and a judge sentenced him to time served. He practically killed Rihanna and nothing really happened to him but he punched a guy in the face in Washington DC and ended up serving over 100 days in jail in LA but only two days in DC. Brown said that he just wanted the situation to go away and that he is tired of dealing with it and that the past year has damaged his career. Yeah, the reason it damaged your career idiot is because you punched a guy and got arrested while you were on probation because you lied about the community service you performed and keep hitting people and yelling at people and getting kicked out of rehab centers and anger management classes. In court today he made it seem like the whole world was against him and that he didn't do anything to deserve this year of not being able to go on tour. He is to blame though. He is the one who keeps doing these things. He is the one who still has a temper and who is going to explode again and get in trouble again and probably blame it on other people again.

Ms. America, a chiropractor from Concord, wants to spread awareness of concussions
By CASSIDY SWANSON
Union Leader Correspondent | August 13. 2014 10:02PM
Stephanie Mills, a chiropractor from Concord, waves to the crowd after being crowned Ms. America on Saturday. Ms. America Pageant Inc.
Mills, 37, of Concord, was crowned the 2014 Ms. America on Saturday at the annual pageant in Brea, Calif. The competition is open to women ages 26 to 60 who are single, married, divorced or widowed.
The pageant has four phases of competition: an interview, physical fitness and sportswear, evening gown, and an on-stage question. All segments are weighted equally in the final scoring.
"Having lost three years in row, it was definitely a shock," she said.
Mills' platform — a cause that contestants in pageants represent and raise awareness for — was concussion awareness. This past March, one of her daughters, Brooke, sustained a concussion in physical education class and struggled in school as a result.
She has been invited to attend a charity event in Los Angeles after the Emmy Awards hosted by actor Jamie Foxx, and on Sept. 28, Mills will participate in BIANH's Walk By The Sea at Hampton Beach. A publisher also approached Mills while she was in California about contributing to a new book coming out about concussions.
"I've seen the correlation between kids who have had concussions and being under chiropractic care, and having relief from some of their symptoms — the headaches, the brain fog … the tiredness that comes along with concussions," Mills said, though she stressed every case is individual. "Whether research is showing it or not, I really see it in my practice, and I saw it with my daughter when I adjusted her during her concussion."
"When you've had a concussion, that means you've had an impact of some sort to your body," she said. "You could've misaligned a vertebra [during the concussion]."

yep! I'm on there at The Snailboat
I'm on tumblr pretty much constantly, but my tumblr gets so flooded with non-zine-related crap when I'm not up to my absolute neck in zine stuff that people might not actually be interested.
Hey yeah, I'm on tumblr. (Spend a liiiiittle too much time on it, too.) I mostly post about my zine stuff and other writing and books I'm reading, but other nonsense as well sometimes.
I'm going to go check out your tumblrs right now ...

I use mine mostly for posting my art work in general rather then in zine form, but every now and then I post a poster or photo shot for / from an exhibition with info on dates etc. : http://toiyi.tumblr.com/
I'm working on an art weekend event for July, in the south and England, including a zine event on a Sunday but I'll post about that in Events on here once we've got it more mapped out.
I have a huge love/hate relationship with Tumblr but I still can't seem to tear myself away from it. Here's mine http://persephonesdescent.tumblr.com/
