Larch is a live CD construction kit for Arch Linux created in early 2006 by gradgrind (Michael Towers). Targeted at those who prefer the DIY approach, the aim is to produce an easily customizable custom installation/rescue CD that is more like a desktop environment than the stock Arch installation CD. The latest version is 8. Interesting features are the creation of USB sticks with ext4 with no journaling and a root overlay for maximum customization.
Full documentation is available on the project's website (see #External Resources below).
Install the larchAUR package which is found in the AUR.
Next step is to download the install script. Put this script in its own directory, and then
chmod +x it and then run it. It should automatically download the rest of larch. Running
./larch will now launch the GUI version of larch.
Project Setup
There are four tabs that you can use to customize your larch CD with, meant to be used in order. The first tab is "Project Settings". With "browse for Profile" you can load a saved project from a disk, Generally projects are saved as directories in
The "installation path" text box lets you customize the location of where you want a copy of the live CD installed when you are working on it. This is, in a sense, a full copy of an Arch Linux installation to be the basis of your live CD/USB stick. If you need to adapt an install guide from elsewhere on the wiki, chroot into this location.
Install Tab
This tab uses its own version of pacman to install an Arch system on your hard disk in the location specified previously, maintain it. "addedpacks" is a text file list of all packages you want installed. These packages HAVE to be in the official repositories and not in the AUR. "vetopacks" is a list of packages that will be prevented from being installed. There is also a button to edit local
/etc/pacman.conf options and repositories lists. When you have everything set, you may hit the install button in the lower right corner.
Adding AUR packages
Find a machine running Arch Linux, download the AUR package, and build it. Now bring it to the machine larch is running on, and install it with the button that says "Update / Add packages -U". Done AFTER install.
Once you have installed you are going to want to configure, tune, tweak and customize your install. The
edit root overlay will open a root overlay (part of your profile in
~/.config/larch/profiles/) to add config files. You will probably want to adapt things from here Beginners' Guide. Make sure all packages you need are added in the installation tab.
/home/$user on your live CD should go in
/etc/skel/ in root the overlay.
Make medium
Either make an ISO, or directly write to a flash disk. For a USB disk, select "writable medium", and then select a valid partition on a block device. This will format the partition with ext4, with no journal, make a master boot record (MBR) and make the partition bootable.
From this tab you may also edit the boot menu entries (extlinux4), and any files you want to add to the CD root (not in the squash file, such as your own boot menu image). in the options line using "nw" will prevent any writes to the medium, if possible when running the live CD. Arbitrary, non-defined options can be passed on to scripts via
- Version 8 ships with a now outdated version of pacman, but this is able to be fixed. To fix this, go download the package via archlinux.org website, unzip the package, and take pacman from
usr/bin/and everything in
usr/lib/in the package root and copy it to
- To get the best results, make a "dev-stick", get an otherwise unused USB flash drive, format it with two paritions—the first that will contain your live OS and the second will contain an empty FAT partition. Install larch on the boot partition, do a preliminary boot, test everything out, configure settings to your liking, then copy everything in
/home/$USERto the FAT partition, boot back into your normal OS, and then copy it into the root overlay in
/etc/skel. Now your settings are saved, forever and ever.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose if the Adaptive Star Axiom Lassen Stroller is the right for me?
The Axiom Lassen stroller features a reclining seat back. The stroller seat base has a fixed 15° angle which help keep the rider's pelvis towards the back of the seat. The seat to back reclines back from 30° - 45° allowing the rider to rest or take a nap in the stroller comfortably. When the seat back is in its upright position, the rider has can see everything in front of them. The reclining seat back provides increased comfort and support for children, older teens and adults who lack upper body strength and trunk control. In addition, there is an array of positioning options helps you achieve the ideal support for your child, and the patented design provides maximum comfort and durability.My child is autistic and does not need a stroller with a lot of support needs or that looks like a wheelchair, which special needs stroller is best?
The Axiom Lassen adaptive stroller is an ideal choice for riders with autism. Many children with autism do not require positioning support. The 5-point harness helps keep the child in place when they tire and helps prevent them from eloping. In addition, the side panels on the stroller seat help create a "cocoon" effect when used with the sun canopy which is ideal for children with sensory or auditory issues.
What if the user cannot sit up on their own and has poor trunk control?
For the user who needs upper body positioning, a shoulder harness or lateral supports may be needed to provide the user with better trunk positioning. The Axiom Lassen comes standard with a 5-point harness. In additional, there are also options for removable lateral support (pair), removable hip abductor, and removable seat abductor.
I need an Axiom Lassen stroller but I am short in overall height. Will I be able to see over stroller to steer it?
The Axiom Lassen strollers have an overall height of 44" (Axiom 2), 46" (Axiom 3), and 48" (Axiom 4). If you are petite and the overall height will not work for you, custom modifications can be made to the stroller to shorten the overall height of the unit. Contact one of our product specialists at 877-664-4565 for more details.
Does the Adaptive Star Lassen have a shoulder harness?
Yes, the Adaptive Star Axiom Lassen stroller comes standard with a padded shoulder harness with a 3-point positioning belt with depth adjustable crotch strap, creating a 5-point safety harness.
Can I order a sun canopy for the Axiom Lassen Stroller?
Actually the Axiom stroller comes standard with a retractable sunshade. There is an option for a rain cover to help keep your rider dry if it starts to rain.
Is the Axiom Lassen Stroller available in a transit model for use on a school bus?
No, the Axiom Lassen has not been designed to meet WC19 Wheelchair Safety and cannot be used on a bus or van with the occupant in the seat.
How do I determine which size stroller to purchase?
Refer to our Sizing Chart under the Specifications tab. You will need to focus on the seat depth, seat width, seat back height, seat to footrest, and weight capacity. The user's thighs should be slightly spread apart. The proper seat width measurement is decided by taking the widest point between the hips and the knees when sitting comfortably and adding about 1 to 2 inches for comfort and growth. For help with measuring and fitting the user, use our Measurement Chart or contact one of our seating specialists at 877-664-4565.
Can I roller blade with my Axiom Lassen stroller?
We do not recommend this, it is too easy to lose control and cause possible harm to your rider and yourself.
Is the fabric on the Axiom Lassen stroller washable?
Yes, the seat, canopy and basket are all removable and machine washable in cold water with mild detergent. Place back on your stroller to dry. Be sure to remove all seat panels before washing and replace when finished.
If I have the user's overall height or weight, will that be enough in determining the correct size?
No. And the reason for this is that every user is built differently, it is always best to refer to the Sizing Chart on the Specifications tab. For example, if you have a user who is tall and skinny and doesn't weigh much, they may still need to be in a larger chair due to their overall length. This is why we recommend completing the Measurement Chart and reviewing those measurements against the Sizing Chart. This will also help in selecting a stroller that will allow for growing room as well.
Fitting Guide
Adaptive Star's adaptive strollers are designed to be more than just a convenient mobility pushchair. Order the correct size pushchair by first determining the user's height, weight and seating measurements. Properly-fitted, Adaptive Star's mobility push chairs will provide years of comfortable use. As your child grows, refer back to this Fitting Guide to adjust the dimensions of the chair.Correct seating and positioning encourages good posture, which in turn aids circulation, breathing and digestion. Please take the time to properly adjust the chair to fit the user. If the user is not correctly positioned, check the accessories section of this manual to see if one or more of our accessories would help to facilitate posture or consult your physical therapist. Improper seating can create problems with posture. Please consult your child's physical therapist or doctor for additional guidance.
How do I fold up the Axiom Lassen stroller?
The Axiom Lassen features a quick-fold lever on the side of the stroller.
What is the warranty on the Adaptive Start Axiom Lassen Stroller?

- I thought this would have been the perfect chair for my son with special needs, it turn out to be terrible my son is always getting his elbows scrape with the frame of the stroller to the point that it bleeds, so disappointed with this stroller now I'm in the search to purchase a new stroller for my son. Plus the material makes my son sweat a lot.

Trademark Claims: The Option Of Choice For Censoring Critics
from the get-to-it deptVia Michael Scott, we learn about how the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) tried to shut down a blog critical of the group using a trademark claim. While the AFT eventually backed down, after pretty much everyone made it clear that it had no chance to win a trademark claim against a site that was clearly criticizing it, Ron Coleman makes the point that trademark is the "tort of choice for censors." I'd suggest that copyright isn't far behind, but it's really amazing how often trademark holders try to use trademark claims to censor any kind of speech they dislike about their mark. And even if the trademark claim has no chance of winning, it often doesn't matter to those who simply can't afford the time or the money to fight such claims.

Tidal energy projects slowly taking hold across nation
From the East River walkway near his office on Roosevelt Island, Ron Smith looks across to Manhattan's East Side shoreline, to the hulking warehouses and exhaust stacks of an oil-and-gas power plant, today's way of keeping the city's lights burning.
But in the swift-flowing tidal waters in between, Smith sees the future of energy generation. He and partner Trey Taylor are co-founders of Verdant Power, which generated electricity from underwater turbines in the river as part of a pilot project last year and will install 30 new turbines at the site this spring.
"The 1 megawatt these will generate is trivial," he said. "But by 2020 to 2040, these kinds of technologies will be all over the world."
Verdant Power is among companies worldwide in the forefront of exploring the potential for generating power from the tides, a form of renewable energy with some distinct advantages over wind or solar energy, but also with some unique challenges. In one reflection of the growing interest, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission noted last year that it had issued 100 preliminary permits for various tidal sites in the United States. Just this month, FERC announced an agreement with the Coast Guard to cooperate on navigation and other issues arising from tidal, wave and river current energy projects.
By some estimates, these technologies could one day supply as much as 30 percent of U.S. power needs, but there are a lot of uncertainties about how much of that potential actually can be realized, said Paul Jacobson, senior project manager at the Electric Power Research Institute.
"It's going to be a niche technology," he said. "But in the places where the conditions are good, it can be very attractive."
Alaska, Maine and Washington state have the U.S. sites with the greatest potential, followed by other coastal states including New York and Massachusetts, according to a 2011 Georgia Tech-U.S. Department of Energy report. Because tides move at regular cycles, tidal generators provide a predictable source of power, a distinct advantage over the fluctuating winds and cloudy days that can disrupt wind or solar arrays, Jacobson said.
"When the power is predictable, it's easier to plan to bring other things on line when needed," he said.
One of the main challenges of tidal power, though, is the harsh, corrosive sea environment.
"There is a lot of power in these tidal currents, but some of the devices deployed have promptly broken because of the amount of energy," Jacobson said.
Other major challenges are the long lead time and the significant investment required to get projects beyond the conceptual stage. Verdant Power, for one, has raised $35 million thus far, but needs another $25 million for its Roosevelt Island project, Smith said.
"There are high initial capital costs, and not a lot of initial return," he said.
Tidal turbine development has made progress in recent years, though, with companies such as Siemens producing tidal turbines, and working projects generating power in the Irish Sea and the Netherlands.
In the United States, the Ocean Renewable Power Co. achieved a major milestone in September when it began delivering power from a turbine in Cobscook Bay, between Eastport and Lubec, Maine, to Bangor Hydro Electric. It was the first time in U.S. history that power from a tidal generator has fed the commercial grid. Over the next five years, the company plans to install enough turbines to generate a total of 5 megawatts of power.
"We've been at this for 8� years, and we've had our share of ups and downs," said Christopher Sauer, president and chief executive officer of Ocean Renewable. "Now, people are calling us from all over the world - Ireland, Scotland, Chile, Japan."
To some, the company's turbines resemble an old-fashioned push lawn mower. Sauer, however, prefers to describe the turbine as a "water wheel that's been twisted." Other designs look more like airplane propellers or wind turbines, except shorter. It's too soon to tell which design will dominate, Sauer said, and it may be that different designs will be better suited to different site conditions.
"Who knows, at the end of the day, which one will be most successful?" he said.
In addition to developing its site in Maine, Ocean Renewable also is working in Alaska and with two other companies on developing their sites. Grants from the state of Maine and the federal energy department were key to getting the Cobscook Bay project off the ground, Sauer said.
"We're not at a point where we can compete on a grid power price" without grant assistance, he said.
Also critical to its success, Sauer said, were the discussions with the local community and regulatory agencies that began as the project was being planned. To accommodate local fishermen, for example, the turbines were moved away from the most productive areas. The turbine field takes up about 60 acres of the bay that is now off-limits to fishing with drag nets, although vessels can pass over the turbines unimpeded, Sauer said.
"We've had long-standing and continual discussions with the fishermen," he said.

Toure talks up Reds' European dream
New Liverpool defender Kolo Toure hopes he can play a major part in helping the club regain its Champions League status.
The Ivory Coast international played in the competition with Arsenal and Manchester City, although last season he was left out of the European squad by then manager Roberto Mancini. Having arrived at Anfield on a free transfer after his contract expired in Manchester he is looking to secure a return to Europe's premier club competition.
"Last season I didn't play, I was out of the (Champions League) squad," he said. "It has been a tough time but this season is going to be a great season for Liverpool. To be part of the team who can bring the club back to the Champions League would be amazing. That's what I'm looking for."
Toure continued: "I would like to be remembered as someone who did very well and that is why I am here. At the moment Liverpool are not in the top four but they have the history, the quality, the players and the mentality as well.
"This club is a winning club and I want to be part of history here, that's why I came - to try to build the team as far as we can, to be top four or to win a trophy.
"We just want to win trophies and want to play in the Champions League as well. There are a lot of good teams out there but with the squad we've got, we have great players and a great mentality here, we can do very well this season."
Reds manager Brendan Rodgers has signed Toure to add more experience to his defence, a role Jamie Carragher was asked to perform having been reinstated in the second half of the season prior to his retirement.
"Of course my experience is going to be important. I know Jamie Carragher was a really important player for this football club," Toure added.
"He's retired now and Liverpool had to look for somebody who can replace him. I'm the one and it's a big honour. He has been a fantastic player for England and this football club. He was a great leader. What I will try to do is not going to be easy, but I will do my best."
Fellow new signing Simon Mignolet is also confident the club can make the top four again. His first task may be to displace Jose Reina as first-choice goalkeeper but he knows the bigger picture is to regain Champions League status. Mignolet said: "For me it's a big step forward. I spoke to the manager and he told me that it's going to be a big step forward."

Have you ever heard of this movie series called Twilight? That stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, or Robsten, if you will? It's kind of a big deal. There are, however, some heathens, some non-believers, some heartless bastards out there who'd beg to differ. The hilarious guys over at Mystery Science Theater 3000 have just named Twilight, all the Twilights, the worst movies of all time.
Well slap my sparkly ass and call me a vampire because there is no way in hell Twilight is worse than these 10 other movies. No. Way.
- Gigli. As if you didn't see this one coming. It was everything that was wrong with Bennifer -- all image, no substance.
- Glitter. Everyone knew this was going to be a disaster when Mariah Carey didn't let 9/11/01 stop her from holding a premiere for her ill-fated flick.
- Corky Romano. Yes! That was a movie, not just a Chris Kattan skit on SNL. And it was terrible.
- All About Steve. Oh god. Sandra Bullock as a mentally unstable woman stalking Bradley Cooper? It was as painful as it was offensive.
- No Strings Attached. I don't know about you, but this Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher movie was simply unwatchable. (Same with its rival Friends With Benefits starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis.)
- Larry Crowne. Hey! I got a great idea for a movie. Let's put Academy Award winner Tom Hanks on a scooter following Academy Award winner Julia Roberts. Spoiler alert: the concept fails and the movie sucks.
- Transformers. Every last one of these movies was horrendous. Loud, and horrendous.
- Sex and the City II. It'd almost be satire if it weren't so blatantly racist.
- The Dilemma. I caught this on TV recently and thought, whoa! A Vince Vaughn, Kevin James comedy I haven't seen? Three minutes into it I realized why. It's not a comedy. It's a sad, sad, sad drama about extramarital affairs. Terrible bait and switch.
- Season of the Witch. True story: I actually snuck into this when the movie I'd paid to see was too crowded, and holy bejesus, was I ever punished for my sin. This movie starring Nicolas Cage was so bad I think my brain started bleeding.
So! There you have it. More than 10 movies worse than Twilight. Maybe those Mystery Science guys can tackle one of those next.
In the meantime, here's a clip of their commentary on Twilight:
What's the worst movie you've ever seen?

She did it again. Lil Spitzer, executive director of the Beckstrand Cancer Foundation, produced what many called "the party of the year" Oct. 13 in the Hangar at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa.
Spitzer joined forces with community philanthropist Renetta Caya, returning once again as gala chairwoman for the 2012 Beckstrand Cancer Foundation's ninth annual Diamond and Pearl Ball. Here is the most impressive news of all: Donations are expected to pass the $1-million mark in net proceeds.
The spectacular event was created around a theme billed as An Evening in Russia at Moscow's Red Square and was dedicated to the memory of the late actress Farrah Fawcett perhaps best known for her role in the television series "Charlie's Angels" as well as for her memorable swimsuit poster. She died of anal cancer in 2009 following a very long, difficult and public fight. She was aided along the way by close friend Alana Stewart, the former wife of both George Hamilton and Rod Stewart. On hand for the tribute to Fawcett, Alana Stewart, now an author and filmmaker in her own right, serves as president of the Farrah Fawcett Foundation. She joined Fawcett's longtime partner Ryan O'Neal at the gala accepting honors from the crowd.
The star-studded event was once again hosted by the beautiful-inside-and-out actress Eva La Rue, co-star of the television series "CSI: Miami." La Rue's personal warmth could have melted the ice castles created by Spitzer and team decorating and transforming the Hangar into Moscow's Red Square.
She joined her husband, fishing fleet mogul Joe Cappuccio, welcoming fellow Hollywood glitterati including the "Love Boat's" Dick Van Patten and his wife, Pat, and their actor son Nels Van Patten. From the mega-popular television series "NCIS: Los Angeles" Daniela Ruah graced the party along with the "Real Housewives of Orange County's" Gretchen Rossi.
From the daytime drama "The Bold and the Beautiful" Don Diamont and his wife, Cindy, mixed with Orange County VIPs including the stunning Jan Salta and her automotive kingpin husband, Mike Salta, Jim and Alexandra Downey, Steve and Michele George, Andy and Susan Phillips, Jeff and Holly Miller, Keith and Mara Murray, and another of O.C.'s biggest automotive dealers, the impressive Dave Wilson and his lovely wife, Holly.
The Hangar's transformation was nothing short of incredible. The space was draped in dramatic Russian red accented with towering iconic buildings, genuine ice curtains and even Fabergé egg recreations as centerpieces on the dining tables. Russian attired vodka girls descended from the rafters pouring Russian Standard Vodka for the nearly 500 guests. That was a sight to behold. There was even a dead ringer in the crowd for Mikhail Gorbachev, turning heads in amazement throughout the night.
Since 1974 the Beckstrand Cancer Foundation has provided patients with financial support, enabling them to remain focused on treatment and recovery. Its purpose is to provide direct financial assistance for critical survival needs including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, food, transportation and medical needs not covered by insurance.
Rallying for the cause were Beth Bidna, Adrienne and R.J. Brandes, Joni and Hal Brice, Tami and Michael Kahn, Cathie and Mike Lawler, designer Oday Shakar with Asia Shakar and Gheith Shakar, Alexandra Spitzer, Joan and Wally Gayner, and Anne and Brian Vallone.

Oklahoma State has hired Mike Yurcich as its new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, bringing in an assistant who helped Shippensburg put up big numbers in Division II the past two seasons.
Coach Mike Gundy announced the move Thursday. The 37-year-old Yurcich replaces Todd Monken, who left to become the head coach at Southern Mississippi.
Yurcich will be asked to step in and run Oklahoma State's prolific spread offense. His first team at Shippensburg set school records for points, touchdowns, first downs and total offense. His second team led Division II in total offense (529.2 yards per game) and was second nationally in scoring (46.9 points) and passing offense (387.7 yards during an 11-2 season.
Yurcich is a 1999 graduate of California (Pa) University. He is from Euclid, Ohio.

Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath took three wickets for 47 and had most of the Australian top order in trouble in a tense few hours late on Sunday's fourth day. Australian newspapers, looking ahead to the four-Test tour to India, sense problems ahead for the team, who will now be without 79-Test veteran Mike Hussey following his Test retirement
"Australia won a Test yesterday, but missed a precious chance to get their house in order. As a consequence, they will fly into India for a four-Test tour a bit like an explorer heading into a dark forest at night. A pungent whiff of uncertainty is in the air," News Ltd's Robert Craddock said.
Craddock said there were two unsolved issues in the Australian team ahead of the series in India.
"There are two major issues which will land like a bag of cement on Australia's doorstep in India - the choice of a second spinner to support Nathan Lyon and the recall of Usman Khawaja as the long-term replacement for Mike Hussey," he said.
Similarly, the Sydney Morning Herald said the final Test revealed some of the problems ahead of Australia in India.
"Those three nervous hours at the SCG were just a foretaste of Chennai and Hyderabad. It won't have gone unnoticed that the batsman who coped with the spin bowling and noisy close-in fields better than anyone except Clarke was the bloke who came in at No.5 (Hussey). A cover-drive, a pull, a reverse-sweep, and safe carriage to the end. Farewell, Mr Cricket, we'll miss you. And for your team, 46 days from now in Delhi, they'll miss you," cricket writer Malcolm Knox said.
Knox said only Clarke and his dancing feet looked relatively at ease playing spin in the Sydney Test. He added that Australia's run chase was more tense than the scorecard indicated and was a guide to how the batsmen will fare in the Test series in India.
Clarke admitted Australia's batsmen needed to work on ways to play India's spinners on their conducive wickets.
"Especially in the second innings on the subcontinent, it is generally very tough to play spin bowling," he said after Sunday's win. There's areas we need to continually get better at, spin bowling is one of those areas. In a couple of months' time we're going to be faced with conditions that do spin a lot so there's no better place to get better than on the subcontinent."(AFP)

The man killed in a fire Jan. 9 in Lehman Township has been identified as 66-year-old Rudolph Cassella, according to Pike County Coroner Kevin Stroyan.
The man killed in a fire Jan. 9 in Lehman Township has been identified as 66-year-old Rudolph Cassella, according to Pike County Coroner Kevin Stroyan.
Cassella died of smoke inhalation, Stroyan said.
Cassella had been living in a home at Keystone Residential Services on Keystone Court for about 10 or 11 years, Stroyan said.
The fire, which was reported at 12:31 p.m., is believed to be accidental in origin but remains under investigation, police said.
The first firefighter on the scene reported heavy smoke from a second-story room, state police said. Cassella was discovered in that room.
At least 10 tenants displaced by the fire are being helped by the Red Cross, police said.
One tenant was taken to the hospital and was treated and released; a firefighter was also treated for injuries, police said.
Bushkill, Marshalls Creek, Hemlock Farms and Dingman firefighters responded.
The Pennsylvania Bureau of Human Services Licensing meanwhile is investigating whether the property that housed Cassella and other special-needs residents required a license.
Keystone is not licensed by the Department of Public Welfare, the parent agency of the Bureau of Human Services Licensing.
If the home needed a license and was operating without one, the bureau will notify law enforcement and work collaboratively with them, department spokeswoman Donna Kirker Morgan told the Pocono Record on Jan. 10.
Keystone Residential Services is across from the entrance to Bushkill Falls on Keystone Court. It includes a small row of apartments and a larger house shared by multiple residents.
The larger house was the scene of the fire.
In 2002, more than a dozen residents of the Keystone apartments were interviewed by state authorities, who had received complaints that owners Joan and Louis Bruno were "warehousing" elderly clients.
But the Brunos asserted then that the residents were not clients but simply tenants for whom they ran occasional errands, the Pocono Record reported at the time.
The residence was fined $500, but that was later returned after a few infractions were corrected.
The Brunos' listed phone number has been disconnected, and they could not be reached for comment after the fire.

Reality TV star and former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson is successfully breastfeeding, despite her initial fears. (You may remember that US magazine reported that both Kendra Wilkinson and Kourtney Kardashian were concerned they would not be able to nurse their babies because of breast implants received at a young age.) While the full story in the December 17 issue of OK! magazine does not mention breastfeeding (and states that husband Hank gave baby the first feed), we've been told by a spokesperson that Ms. Wilkinson started breastfeeding on the second day and is very happy to be nursing her baby.
Ms. Wilkinson got quite a bit of publicity for sharing about her fears. We wrote about it, offered some breastfeeding advice and a shopping list, and extended our cheers to Wilkinson, Kourtney Kardashian and US magazine for helping to change the public perception of breastfeeding and making it more mainstream. Soon after, we noticed an increase in the number of articles talking about implants and breastfeeding, which is wonderful! More surgeons who are performing breast augmentation and reduction surgeries need to know about procedures that preserve the milk ducts, and it should be standard protocol to discuss those options with patients in their childbearing years. More mothers who are planning to breastfeed deserve access to evidence-based information about breastfeeding with implants so they can prepare and plan accordingly.
Congratulations to Ms. Wilkinson for overcoming one of the earliest "booby-traps"–fear of breastfeeding due to misinformation. On behalf of all the moms and babies we serve, we thank her for raising awareness of this important health issue. Celebrities who share their personal breastfeeding stories, like Kelly Rutherford and Gabrielle Reece, help us cheer on, coach and celebrate moms to achieve their personal breastfeeding goals without pressure, judgment and guilt, and to get evidence-based and inspiring information into the hands of more moms. This is an exciting and wonderful time in a new mother's life and we want all mothers who decide to breastfeed to have a positive breastfeeding experience!

Colt Ford's 'Declaration of Independence' Album Debuts at Top of Charts
Chances are Colt Ford is walking around with a big ol' smile spread across his face today. The country rapper's fourth studio album, 'Declaration of Independence,' hit stores last week, and the numbers are in. Fans proved once again that they love them some Colt Ford — the album debuted at No. 1 on the country album's chart.
The new collection of tunes also came in at No. 5 on the all-genre charts, giving Ford the highest album debut of his career, as well as an all-time high for his independent record label, Average Joes Entertainment.
"I just can't thank my fans enough for making this record No. 1," says Ford. "I believed this was my best album yet, and my fans have just proved I was right. Today is a great day, and I am so blessed."
The album has already received rave reviews from the big guy's music peers, which gives the Georgia native yet another reason to smile. Ford's fellow country artists have been pushing the album, too — some of whom are included in on the project and some who simply just love and support Ford.
"I cannot say how much that means to me and how humbling it is when those artists — artists that I have such huge amount of respect for [and] that I'm a fan of and I'm friends with — support me," Ford says graciously.
'Declaration of Independence' has a wide array of major musical talent sewn into the project, including Jake Owen, Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker, LoCash Cowboys, Jerrod Niemann, Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley.
"A bunch of them sent out messages, which is awesome," Ford notes of his friends' involvement. "But when guys that don't have anything to do with the record do it, it just blows me away. That's why I'm a country artist. That's why I love the country genre more than anything in the world because that's what we do. We help one another."
The first release from 'Declaration of Independence' is Ford's collaboration with Jake Owen, titled 'Back.'

How Selena Gomez Pushed Jay-Z Off The Billboard Top Spot
08.1.2013 | By Mariana Dussan | No Comments">No Comments
So let's get straight to the point… just how did Selena Gomez manage to beat one of the greatest acts in hip-hop and for that matter in music? If you haven't heard, this week Selena Gomez bumped Jay-Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail" off the top spot on the Billboard 200 outselling H.O.V.A 97,000 copies to 77,000 copies respectively. And just like that defeats hip-hop's 5-week reign and makes pop music the king. Let's just call it a combination of extremely faithful fans and smart marketing.
Here's how it was done: Read More

Watch BPL Live Dhaka Gladiators vs Khulna Royal Bengals
Date: Feb 11, 2012
Time: 02:00 PM Dhaka Time (08:00 am GMT)
Venue: Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Stadium (SBNS), Mirpur, Dhaka
BPL Match 3 Live: Dhaka vs Khulna match preview
Keiron Pollard played down the threat of number one all-rounder of the world Shakib Al Hasan and experienced Shivnaraine Chanderpaul when his side Dhaka Gladiators will take on Shakib's Khulna Royal Bengals on Saturday. Pollard, one of the most effective Twenty20 players who won many matches for Mumbai Indian in IPL thought in this sort of cricket nothing could be guaranteed.
"Both players are talented and are proven in the international arena. Shakib has been very good for Bangladesh and Chanderpaul has been around with West Indies cricket for long time," he told the reporters during the practice session of Dhaka on Friday.
"They are going to have the experiences and share the experiences and hopefully we will have a good game tomorrow (Saturday). And at the end of the day, the side that plays better cricket will walk out victorious no matter what names you have in the line-up."
Pollard's compatriot Chris Gayle lit up the BPL with a whirlwind century on Friday against Sylhet Royals without any practice as he just landed in Bangladesh a day before the game.
Pollard also landed in Bangladesh just two days before the game but believed his stint with Big Bash recently would bolster him.
"I have been playing cricket for last four months and I have been in Big Bash cricket so I don't think it won't be any problem. As I have been playing cricket I just need to fit in myself in the team and pick the emotions of T20 cricket."
He however expected to gather the momentum despite not knowing well all the players of Khulna.
"To be honest I don't know most of the players. I have not seen the team and don't know who is playing and who is not. We will go out there, pick up the momentum," he replied to a query.
Dhaka Gladiators coach Ian Pont was bullish about his team's chance albeit he earmarked Khulna as balanced and strong side.
"The thing about the BPL is no one knows who is going to win the competition but we will know in 19 days' time. But in pen and paper, there are some very balanced and strong sides. Dhaka Gladiators are one of them but you don't play on paper rather you play on grass," Pont said.
He expected local players' to fire up, "We will only find out when we get into the middle of exactly how we are performing. The tournament is about Bangladesh cricket so I think the local players will perform for us."
Pont said they are yet to pick up the best XI, "We haven't decided the playing eleven yet. I think its going to be a tough job to pick the playing eleven. We will have a team management meeting today evening.
In the day's other match, Barisal Burners will take on Duronto Rajshahi. Barisal started the tournament with a comprehensive 10-wicket win over Sylhet Royals. They however would be absolute favourite against Duronto Rajshahi since Gayle proved he has been in form.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Lieutenant I. a unit commander in Israel's Paratrooper Brigade was wounded together with four of his soldiers yesterday (Monday) in the southern Gaza Strip.
During Monday's fierce battles across Gaza, two Israeli soldiers were reported killed and at least 75 were wounded. Another seven soldiers were killed while repelling squads of Hamas gunmen that tunneled into southern Israel.
Lt. I.'s unit was ambushed and he was the first to take a bullet "as all hell broke loose
around us. We were attacked by about 12–15 terrorists and the battle was tough, but we
managed to eliminate 12 terrorists by the time it was over," he said, adding that "it felt like forever to be extricated from the scene due to the circumstances. First by tank
then armored personnel carrier and eventually airlifted by helicopter to hospital."
While Lt. I. was still lying in triage in the ER, Beilinson Hospital Director Dr. Eyran Halpern updated the young commander on the condition of one of his soldiers who had been seriously wounded.
According to Dr. Halpern, "Your soldier arrived in poor condition and he was almost
clinically dead on arrival. He was suffering from one gunshot wound to the right upper
chest and two to his abdomen. We managed to stem the bleeding and stabilize his
condition. He is still serious, but stable at the moment."
Lt. I. talked about how tense the atmosphere was in Gaza and how difficult it was to
engage terrorists in such close urban quarters. "At times it was almost hand-to-hand
combat," he said.
He also noted that "during our time in the Gaza Strip we uncovered many tunnel shafts and an unbelievable amount of weapons."
Typical of any Israeli infantry officer, Lt. I. was concerned about the condition of his
fellow soldiers with him in the hospital, as well as those still out on the battlefield "while I lie here on a bed and in air-conditioning."

Peacemaking and the Resolution of Conflict
Community Justice Initiatives Association (CJI) is a community-based non-profit society located in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. The organization has over 30 years of experience providing conflict resolution services in such settings as the criminal justice system, organizations, schools, businesses, and for private individuals.
CJI operates under a Restorative Justice framework.
Crime and conflict result in harm to people.
Restorative Justice seeks to heal and right the wrongs.
Focusing on the needs of the harmed
and of those responsible for the harm.
It encourages accountability, healing and closure for all.
CJI has pioneered and administered programs, training services and processes that result in meaningful, satisfying outcomes for a variety of conflict situations.
From a youth who participated in Restorative Youth Services:
Thank you for all your help with the community hours. I know what I did was wrong but you still managed to treat me respectfully, the way everyone wants to be treated. Thank you for your kindness. I promise you guys I won't be back unless it's to say "Hi" and how well I'm doing.
From a trauma survivor who participated in the Victim Offender Mediation Program:
CJI and their Restorative Justice programs put me on the path to peace. VOMP guided me through a peaceful conversation that enabled me to get answers to questions long unanswered. I was able to ask why it happened to me, and for the very first time, I was given reasons. Those reasons gave me understanding, with understanding...came peace.
From school personnel after participating in training conducted by Educating for Peacebuilding staff:
The whole school model of restorative practice - social responsibility is basic to everything we do at school. It was a good reinforcement/reminder in September about the importance of creating a sense of community in the classroom where children feel safe to express their feelings.
From a student:
Thank you for giving me the chance to be a part of this and learn so much. It has made me look at life in a completely different way and it's because of this (training)."
From a Community Development Worker regarding the Little Black Book (a listing of resources for youth in Surrey, Langley and Delta):
Personally, I have accompanied some of my meetings &/or discussions with youth by handing a Little Black Book to them, going through the resources that could most benefit them at the time. The Little Black Book's portability can serve as a constant reminder to a young person that support is just a phone call away.
From a workshop participant:
Great workshop, great trainer! I liked having the time given to us to reflect and ask questions. The trainer was patient and informative."

Well, I guess that's what I get for criticizing the show for having too much filler story in the last two episodes, because while tonight was the normal 60-minute offering, it felt a heckuva lot longer due to the fact that it was jam-packed with so much information. Oh yeah, and a pretty big bomb was dropped as well that pretty much guarantees you'll never look at some characters the same way again. I'm talking, of course, about Clay's confirmation that he was in fact responsible for John Teller's death. Though he didn't admit anything to Piney (who expressed his suspicions before threatening to show JT's letters to the rest of the club if they continued to do business with the cartel), Clay immediately ran to Gemma with concerns about how they were going to cover it up.
"I had John Teller killed while I was bedding his wife. It doesn't matter what the reason was. Jax finds that out, he cuts off my goddamn head, he sticks it on the reaper pole."
Wow. I mean, it's not like it was a theory that hadn't been batted around before, but thinking he may be involved and knowing for certain are two very different things – especially when Gemma was in on it too. Or was she? That's where the story gets a little interesting, because while she clearly had knowledge of Clay's plot to kill Jax's father, I think that she was given the same bogus reason as Unser. Clay apparently told him that JT's weakness would bring violence to Charming, and though Unser believed it at the time, after breaking into Tara's office to steal the letters, he realized that it was all just a lie. Clay didn't like that JT was trying to get the club out of the gun business, and he killed him for it, dragging Gemma and Unser down into the dirt with him. To make matters even worse, Gemma thinks that the letters have been destroyed by Unser, but the originals are still out there, and the only way that Clay can ensure the truth never gets out is by killing the only people who know about them: Piney and Tara.

He gained his doctorate at the University of Padua in 1892, and six years later became Extra Professor of Mechanics at the same University. Appointed full Professor in 1902, he remained at Padua until his election in 1918 to the Chair of Higher Analysis in the University of Rome, which he exchanged in 1922 for the Chair of Theoretical Mechanics. This he occupied until his retirement in 1938. His wife, whom he married in 1914, and who survives him, was a former pupil, Libera Trevisani.
Levi-Civita's work as a mathematician is notable for its quality, quantity and range. He wrote some hundred and fifty to two hundred papers and memoirs, and was the author of several treatises. There are few modern branches of mathematical physics to which he did not at one time or another contribute - classical mechanics, hydromechanics, thermodynamics, elasticity, the strength of materials, astronomy, electromagnetism, optics, relativity and quantum mechanics - yet some of his greatest work was in pure mathematics. One thinks of him, in fact, primarily as a mathematician rather than as a theoretical physicist, for most of his work in the applications of mathematics to physical problems was written more from the mathematical than from the physical angle. His writings are characterised by lucidity, simplicity of style and a pleasing economy of symbolism.
His early work included contributions to the theory of numbers, to the theory of functions of two complex variables, to partial differential equations, and, most notably of all, to the absolute differential calculus. At Padua, one of his Professors had been Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro, who in 1892 had published the first work on the subject now often known as tensor analysis. Ricci-Curbastro and Levi-Civita together developed this theory, and in 1901 published a joint memoir, "Méthodes du calcul différentiel absolu et leurs applications" in the Mathematische Annalen (vol. 54). Their work gained relatively little attention until, fifteen years later, it was used by Einstein in the formulation of the general theory of relativity. Originally it was a technique rather than a separate branch of mathematics, providing as it did a way of writing theorems of differential geometry and the calculus in a form at once concise and general, and it was not until after the development of relativity, followed shortly afterwards by Levi-Civita's definition of parallelism in Riemannian geometry, that it assumed the full place it now holds as one of the main branches of modern mathematics.
It is impossible here to make more than brief mention of a few of his manifold contributions to mechanics and mathematical physics. Among the best known of these is the theorem of analytical dynamics called after him, namely that, to any set of m invariant relations of a Hamiltonian system, which are in involution, there corresponds a family of 8m particular solutions of the Hamiltonian system, whose determination depends upon the integration of a system of order (m - 1). In celestial mechanics he obtained a reduction of the famous problem of three bodies. More recently, in lectures delivered in 1937 at the Harvard Tercentenary Conference, he tackled the relativistic problem of n bodies, but confined himself to seeking first-order relativistic corrections to the differential equations of motion on the basis of certain approximation hypotheses. He considered the case n = 2 in more detail, treating the relativistic corrections as first-order perturbations in the Newtonian motion, and was able to relate his results to actual astronomical observations.
Among other contributions made by him to mathematical physics may be mentioned his investigation of the Newtonian attraction of thin tubes with applications to the theory of Saturn's rings; his general method in hydrodynamics of determining the flow past an obstacle, and also his rigorous determination of waves in a canal; in geometrical optics his reciprocal of the Malus-Dupin theorem, and in relativistic optics his determination of the laws of refraction and reflection in a general space-time. He made numerous other contributions to relativity, and in 1933 interested himself in the problem of reconciling Dirac's equations in quantum mechanics with the relativistic principle of covariance. Regarding the last, it is interesting to note that, in his own words, "Dirac's equations must, in my opinion, be abandoned, without, it is understood, giving up the main progress realised by them in the domain of restricted relativity" - this because their transformation-laws seemed to him to require the introduction into space-time of a lattice (a system of four mutually perpendicular congruences of lines) which, having no intrinsic physical significance, should, but in fact did not, disappear from the equations in their final relativistic form.
Reference has already been made to his definition of parallelism in Riemannian geometry. This was published in 1917 in a paper "Nozione di parallelismo in una varietà qualunque e conseguente specificazione della curvatura Riemanniana." The basic idea was simple, but its influence on the development of differential geometry was profound. Consider an ordinary surface S in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Let P, P' be two points upon it and let u, u' be two unit vectors, localised at P, P' respectively, tangential to S. If S is developable, then u, u' are defined to be parallel with respect to S if they are parallel in the ordinary sense when the surface is developed into a plane. If S is not developable, suppose P, P' to be joined by a curve C lying in S; then if u, u' are parallel with respect to the developable circumscribed to S along C, they are said to be parallel with respect to S along the curve C, or, alternatively, u' is said to be obtained from u by the parallel displacement of the latter vector along C. It follows at once that for a general surface, there is no unique direction at P' parallel to that of the vector u at P, u' being dependent upon the choice of the curve C. But if P, P' are neighbouring points, and if infinitesimals of order higher than the first are neglected, then there is at P' a unique vector parallel to u at P. From this arises the concept of infinitesimal parallelism, readily generalised to n-dimensional Riemannian space, and a geometrical interpretation of the vanishing of the covariant differential of a vector. This discovery by Levi-Civita, together with the contemporary development of general relativity and the search for a unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism by Weyl, Eddington, Einstein and others, quickly led to generalisations of Riemannian geometry. On the purely mathematical side, perhaps the most interesting consequence of these generalisations was the rapprochement, if not the complete reconciliation, which they brought about between differential geometry and the geometries of the Erlanger Programm. In 1870 Felix Klein had defined a geometry to be the invariant theory of a transformation group, a definition which included such geometries as Euclidean, affine and projective, but did not include Riemannian, In the light of Levi-Civita's definition of parallelism it was seen that the spaces of differential geometry could, so to speak, be regarded as an assemblage of isomorphic, Klein spaces, each associated with a point of an "underlying space," and in this way there grew an extensive literature directly inspired by the work of Levi-Civita. So extensive, indeed, did the literature become, that differential geometry seemed in the late 1920's and early 1930's to be almost in danger of self-suffocation: a Pelion of detail, painstakingly worked out by research students the world over, was piled upon an Ossa of greater and greater generalisations. Yet among the mass of notes, papers, memoirs and treatises there was a large kernel of genuine mathematical importance. Levi-Civita himself, it is true, made no special contribution to these developments and it seems not unlikely that many of them could have held little interest for him being too far removed from the simple directness of his own work. Certainly he himself never fell a victim to the fascinations of notation, which, among some tensorists, led to a tangled undergrowth of symbolism which rendered their work all but unreadable. Nevertheless, his interest in geometry as such remained with him until the end, some of his last papers, published between 1934 and 1938, being concerned with such topics as the trigonometry of curvilinear triangles on surfaces, and families of isoparametric surfaces in ordinary Euclidean space.
By his early work with Ricci on tensor analysis and by his later discovery of infinitesimal parallelism, Levi-Civita laid the foundations both for relativity and for the establishment of differential geometry as one of the great branches of modern mathematics. These two achievements alone, without his wide contributions to mathematical physics, might have earned him a lasting place among the great men of mathematics.
In person he was unassuming and unfailingly kind, qualities, which inspired admiration and affection in his pupils and colleagues. Small of stature and given to vigorous gesticulation when speaking, one thinks of him as intensely Italian, and as possessing all the graces of that once happy people. All the more shabby, therefore, was the treatment he received in 1938, when the introduction of racial legislation by the Fascist Government led to his expulsion from the Royal Academy of the Lincei, and the consequent clouding of his few years of retirement. That his death was ignored by official Italy was not his dishonour, and that he should be commemorated by learned societies in countries at war with Italy is symbolic. Happily, however, the Vatican City formed a cultural oasis where, as a member of the Papal Academy, he was held in full honour until his death. It is of historical interest to note that, when in 1938 an anti-Semitic policy was forced upon the owners of the Zentralblatt für Mathematik in Germany, he was one of those whose names were removed from the editorial board. It was as a protest against this action that the rival Mathematical Reviews was founded in the United States of America.
He lectured extensively, not only in Italy, but also in Spain, Austria, Germany, France and America. He was a Foreign member of the Royal Society, an honorary doctor of several European Universities, and an honorary member of learned societies in various countries. He paid a visit to the St Andrews Colloquium in 1930, and was shortly afterwards elected to his Honorary Membership of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society. Members of the Society who knew him will mourn him as a friend: they and others will honour his memory as a great man and a great mathematician.

A simple recipe for using neeps, swedes, rutabagas & yellow turnips: rutabaga & pineapple salad
- in Southern England and most Commonwealth countries, it is known as swede or Swedish turnip
- in Northern England, Ireland and Cornwall, as well as Atlantic Canada it is called turnip
- in Scotland, it's called turnip or neeps (and yes, it is served with haggis & tatties)
- in the United States, you'll know it as rutabaga or yellow turnip
In Estonia, it's called kaalikas - not to be confused with naeris, which is turnip in the US, Southern England and most Commonwealth countries, white turnip in Cornwall and swede or tumshie in Scotland. And to confuse the matters even more, it seems that what is known as turnip in Malaysia, Singapore, and Philippines, is actually a jicama (at least in the US), known as yam bean in Southern England and most Commonwealth countries, and mehhiko naeris in Estonian. Got that??
Me neither..
In any case I picked up couple of new season's neeps at the Tallinn Central Market yesterday morning, and made a very simple but delightful side salad with them in the evening. Whereas I'd usually cook neeps, then young and small neeps are sweet, crisp and juicy and excellent raw in salads.
Rutabaga & pineapple salad
Recipe adapted from Ruokamaailma 9/2004
Serves 3-4 as a side dish. Can be easily doubled etc
2-3 small and young swedes/rutabagas/neeps, peeled and coarsely grated (about 250 grams peeled weight)
a small 225 gram can of pineapple chunks in pineapple juice
a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt
Mix grated swede/rutabaga/neep, pineapple chunks and chopped parsley. Add a spoonful or two of pineapple liquid to moisten and season with sea salt.
Serve as a side salad to some grilled meat or as part of a buffet table.
Best eaten on the day it's made.

wow, thanks for the information! I did not know that the jicama was actually what we know as the turnip in the Philippines.The salad looks delicious.

I never think of using turnips (or rutabagas) in a salad; usually these root vegetables are the basis for something stewed. Nice idea -- I will definitely bookmark this recipe.

I just love the idea of these raw vegetable salads and swede (my name, along w rutabaga) and pineapple seem like a magical combination - "bookmark"!

That is an interesting way to serve swede but I imagine that it's sweetness works well with the pineapple!

jube, eks! kui esimest korda seda tõlget otsisin, siis mõtlesin, et lähen hulluks. ja jäin pidama 'swede' peal, inglane nagu ma olen. 'turnip' on minu koljus naerina kinni alates kolmandast klassist, kui kõige blondimana, isa rohelised sokid üle sandaalide tõmmatud, inglise klassi näidendis seda mängima pidin. elu on kummaline.xandls

Wow, you've got me confused now!:-)
Any chance you could post a picture of what it looks like before it's cooked? I just want to make sure I'm buying the right vegetable!

well, thanks for that. I´m always confused by all the names. Not that we have any of them in Madrid, but still, good to know.

I've often tried to convince people that swedes and turnips were different vegetables - now I know why they were confused!
Nice salad idea - I've tried something similar with celeriac too.

That looks like a really refreshing salad Pille!
Here's something to add to your list: What is called a jicama in the US is called sinkamas in the Philippines :) I haven't seen any rutabagas...unless they also go by a different name here...
- 1:58 pm, June 20, 2007
- Pille said...
Veron - according to the wikipedia link above, it's known as turnip. But Joey says it's sinkamas in the Philippines. Who knows?
Lydia - I'd always stew or cook older and larger speciments. But these ones were so small and crips and young, that I didn't want to spoil them by cooking..
Alanna - thanks!
Freya - it was really sweet indeed, but with a hint of bitterness. I liked the swede/neep and pineapple pairing, and will be serving it again.
Evelin - no vot. Nii et Sul 'inglasena' on turnip naeris ja swede kaalikas. Aga mul 'šotlasena' (no ikkagi seitse aastat seal) on neep ehk turnip kindlalt kaalikas ja turnip naeris. Segadus missugune :)
Tea - good idea! I'll get some more from the market this weekend, and post it for you.
Lobstersquad - not sure if I managed to clear things up, or whether I confused my readers even more!!
Lauren - I've mixed grated celeriac with a spoonful of mayonnaise - rather nice.
Joey - now I am REALLY confused! That wikipedia entry doesn't even give an equivalent term in Philippines, so I guess it's simply not available.

This looks delicious. I am thinking about making a swede salad myself as Jane and I have gone totally raw this month. Thanks for the information. Happy blogging, lee (www.thebeachhousekitchen.wordpress.com)

The day after the royal baby was born, some nice young parents tucked their child seat into the car and headed home from the hospital with their newborn.
With the entire world looking on.
It was Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William, of course, and the child who has yet to be named, stepping out from the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in London and giving royal watchers and the media a first glimpse of the wee Prince of Cambridge.
While Kate looked fantastic — especially for someone who'd just delivered an 8-pound, 6-ounce boy in more than 10 hours of labor — William did most of the talking as the couple answered a handful of questions outside the hospital.
Who changed the "first nappy?" Why, that would be William, continuing his involved-father trend that began with his presence in the delivery room for his son's birth.
"He's got her looks, thankfully," the new dad said, joking later about the baby's hair: "He's got way more than me, thank God."
And addressing the hot topic of the day, the future king's moniker, he said, "We're still working on a name, so we'll have that as soon as we can."
The day also brought guaranteed baby-waking cacophony starting at 2 p.m., with a 41-gun salute at Green Park, a 62-gun salute at the Tower of London, and three hours of pealing bells at Westminster Abbey, all going off simultaneously.
No worries — it appears this little guy can compete, according to his dad.
"He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure."
