ThereтАЩs a tai kwon do place that I pass daily while driving my five-year-old to and from school, where I can see through the huge plate-glass window tiny people in bright white, slightly-too-large uniforms, kicking avidly.
That looks like a good time, I think. I should sign the kid up for a class. The next day, I pass it again. Yeah, I really should look that up,┬аI remind myself. The next day: Well, itтАЩs not going anywhere. If imaginary looks could kill, Amy Chua тАФ the self-described Tiger Mom and author of the new book The Triple Package тАФ would have set my head ablaze with one disapproving glare.
My kid doesnтАЩt know how to swim. He doesnтАЩt go to Kumon. We have peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches for dinner pretty regularly. And when people ask if IтАЩm entering the lottery to send him to a Japanese- or mathematics-immersion school, I shrug and say that our neighborhood school seems like just as solid an option.
Yep, IтАЩm a sloth mom.
Amy Chua isnтАЩt the only one whoтАЩd judge me for it. Kids may be a reflection of their parents, but letтАЩs be real тАФ mothers almost always shoulder the weight of reproach. To admit out loud that you could be trying a lot harder can be, in this ever-more hyperparented culture, tantamount to abuse. (You let your child eat something with high-fructose corn syrup? My god, why donтАЩt you shoot her up with heroin while youтАЩre at it?)
I will freely admit that some of my slothful parenting style is purely selfish: My husband and I quite consciously avoided signing the little one up for Soccer Shots, for instance, because neither of us has any interest in getting up at 6 a.m. and standing in the rain watching a bunch of kids trip over their feet trying to kick a ball. And some of it is a result of my temperament: As a lifelong introvert, IтАЩve just never been great as reaching out to other parents to schedule playdates or outings to farms or other edifying pursuits. IтАЩm not against them; if someone else wants to make the plans, IтАЩll be there. Otherwise, IтАЩm more than happy to take the kid to the library for the morning.
But thereтАЩs something else at play here тАФ and, not surprisingly, itтАЩs my own sense of what was missing from my own childhood. I was a highly scheduled kid with ballet lessons, ice- skating lessons, art lessons, piano and cello lessons, soccer and softball teams, tennis and swimming, and about a dozen other activities on the docket in any given year. ItтАЩs not that I disliked any of these activities; many of them I loved. When I threw myself into competitive figure skating for a time my own mother was a trouper about getting up at 6 a.m. to shuttle me to the rink.
But I get the sense, in retrospect, that my parents werenтАЩt particularly invested in whether I succeeded or not. No one stood over me demanding to hear that Bach ├йtude one more time with no errant notes; no one was telling me that my ability to land a double salchow was going to be my ticket into a top-tier college. From a Tiger Mom perspective, my childhood wasnтАЩt nearly rigorous enough. From mine, I was fulfilling my parentsтАЩ interest in having a well-rounded kid, but doing too much varied stuff to ever get more than passably good at any one thing.
This, of course, makes it sound like I have a carefully thought-out parenting plan unfolding in opposition to my own upbringing. I donтАЩt. But I do have goals: I want my son to have the freedom and the space to discover his own passions, and for him, not me, to be the engine of their pursuit. And then IтАЩll do everything I can to encourage him. Right now, for instance, basketball is his obsession, so I spend much of my weekends and evenings shooting hoops in the driveway, encouraging his reading by giving him basketball cards, and answering questions like "Mom, why do you hate the Lakers?"
Because despite satires like this one, sloth mothering isnтАЩt the antithesis of Tiger Momming. ThereтАЩs a whole lot of gray area between the hard-charging, no-bathroom breaks style of supposedly "ethnic" parenting that Chua maintains is a recipe for success, and the "American" brand of touchy-feely permissiveness that weтАЩve decided breeds bumbling whiners.
Not overpraising your kids doesnтАЩt have to mean bringing them to tears with harsh judgment; falling of short of being the best at something doesnтАЩt shunt you to the bottom of the heap. When the kid gets sloppy with his basketball shots, I advise him to stop, breathe, and focus; when he gets frustrated, I remind him that LeBron and Dirk donтАЩt quit just because they miss a few shots. ItтАЩs more than possible to nudge rather than propel, love steadily rather than instilling fear and withholding affection, and give kids enough space to both learn from their failures and want to do better for their own sake, not because they fear your wrath.
IтАЩd love for the sloth moms out there to rise up as one to espouse this approach, to make the case that good learning is more important than good testing, that regular doses of television arenтАЩt going to liquefy your kidтАЩs brain, and that sometimes itтАЩs simply more satisfying to kick back with a beer and a copy of Entertainment Weekly than it is to drill your small fry on their state capitals for the 50th time.
But of course, weтАЩre too busy to organize тАФ busy, that is, just hanging out, letting our kids make nonrepresentational shapes out of Play-doh, and slapping together some sandwiches for dinner. ItтАЩs okay. Our unheralded, unpublicized non-movement of a movement? ItтАЩs not going anywhere.

DONT TRY THIS. SERIOUSLY, YOU WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE AND LOSE EVERYTHING. Then, when you try to get off of it (withdrawal which is absolute HELL), you'll spend the next few years trying to regain everything you lost. If there's one thing in life I could go back and change, it would be to NEVER take this "med". It is the BIGGEST REGRET I HAVE.
And no, I'm not some crazy person. I had mild anxiety and wanted to give this stuff a try, figuring it's only a small pill and can't do me harm.
Your best bet is to stay away from this, any type of SSRI, benzo, etc, and solve your problems at the root without any "medicine". Pills in a bottle do NOT fix these types of problems, they destroy your life. Period.

zebra dish || pouf || tray || lotus votive || muah! || love || pom pom throw
Happy Friday loves!! I especially love this Friday because I discovered a new-to-me shop that I just adore. You know I like some great home accessories and Hattan Home does not disappoint! It's right up my alley and I just had to share it with you today.
All those goodies above are from Hattan Home. Their tagline "treats for your home" is perfect because there is so much deliciousness to choose from in their shop! They are right on trend and offer a great selection of home decor, office accessories, and more!
I just received the Capiz Lotus Votive and had some fun styling it up in my home. Lotus decor is on trend right now and it's a classic look so ,of course, I love it!
One thing I am a little addicted to is reworking my bookcases. They provide such a great opportunity to do something new in my home when I feel the urge to refresh.
I love the addition of the lotus votive. It's just the right, chic touch and blends nicely with the rest of the accessories.
Be sure to check out Hattan Home. It is such a well-curated shop that is full of style. With the holidays right around the corner it has some great gift options. Have a fab weekend!!
This is a sponsored post for Hattan Home. As always, I only share things I love and all opinions are 100% mine.

Very easy to install, and heavy duty construction. Only wish the rest of my order (seat covers) ordered on 9/9, would arrive so I can rate them, too. If they don't show in the next few days, I'm going to have to reverse the charges to my VISA & order elsewhere. Haven't heard a word from AutoAnything concerning the delay.

ejabberd: Multiple Denial of Service vulnerabilities
I am trying to install ejabberd 2.1.10-2 on my Ubuntu 12.04.1 server.
I'm trying to install ejabberd on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server (x64). This is a fresh installation of ejabberd, and I've had nothing but problems.
apt-get hangs at:
Setting up ejabberd (2.1.10-2ubuntu1) ...
Starting jabber server: ejabberd......
It times out (after a very long period) and the server never starts.
I checked /var/log/ejabberd/erl_crash.dump and the 'slogan' (i.e.
I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 desktop. I installed ejabberd. I'm trying to edit the /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg file, but get 'permission denied' even though my id is in both the root and ejabberd user groups.
What am I missing?
Thank you in advance for any help with this issue.
I am pretty new to ejabberd. So spare me if this is a noob question.
We are developing a real time application using xmpp and decided to go with ejabberd server.
We are in the process of setting up our server and want to know which OS is best suited to work with ejabberd. If it's *nix, then which flavor to go with - ubuntu or centOS?
I am hitting this same problem. From a quick look, systemd is running "ejabberdctl start" as user "ejabberd".
I have installed a Ejabberd chat server in server with IP 192.168.1.52 and also i have installed SNMP version 3 at this server. Now i want to monitor it with ZenOSS in server with IP address 192.168.1.46. I can monitor Ejabberd now but just the infrastructure, for example I can monitor file system usage,Interfaces ,processor name and these kind of infrastructure elements .
I changed the ports in the listen section (just added a 1 in front of them) in the /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg, but after a
/etc/init.d/ejabberd restart
The server still listens on the original ports. Am I doing anything wrong here?
Also the server doesn't seem to start up when the firewawall-rules are set.
I install ejabberd from source, it always gives error when I start :
application: ejabberd
exited: {bad_return,
I installed ejabberd just fine. I'm trying to edit the ejabber.cfg file in /etc/ejabberd, but I keep getting permission denied. I'm in both the root and ejabberd user group. What am I missing?
Thank you in advance for your help.

The Roadshow For Growth Bus (Photo: Business Wire)
GE Capital and Slate's Roadshow for Growth rolls into Charlotte today as part of a six-month, 20-city tour that will address the challenges and opportunities facing middle market businesses, a sector that generates $9 trillion in annual revenue in the U.S. and accounts for nearly 34% of total U.S. employment. According to new research released today by the National Center for the Middle Market (NCMM), mid-sized companies in the Charlotte area comprise only 1% of total businesses, yet generate 16% of total revenue and account for 20% of Charlotte's employment.*
Traveling in a branded bus, GE Capital and Slate's Roadshow for Growth started in Kansas City in May and has traveled to cities like St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland. While in Charlotte, the 10th stop on the tour, the NCMM will release new data that shows the importance of the middle market to Charlotte, including:
- Consists of approximately 1,200 companies that generated roughly $64.5B in revenue in 2012
- Grew revenue by 8.7% in 2012 and expects revenue to continue to grow at a rate of 7.8%
- Employment grew by 4.6% in 2012 and is projected to continue to grow at a rate of 4.4%
- Employs roughly 465,000
- Services segment is the largest source of revenue and jobs, at approximately $28.8B and roughly 181,000, respectively
"When middle market companies do well, the economy does well," said Mike Pilot, chief commercial officer of GE Capital. "As the leading lender to the middle market and sponsor to a number of programs to help this critical segment of the U.S. economy grow, we think helping convene a dialogue around the needs of our customers is critical to driving economic growth and creating jobs. From the National Center for the Middle Market to the Roadshow for Growth, our goal is to help policymakers and job creators alike understand that the middle market is the market that drives America."

Published: July 11, 2010 at 3:10 PMThanks, Andy. Boy, I was really hoping I'd be doing better.

This competition has been keeping me a bit sane- it was a chance to escape from the bad luck.) I guess I tried too hard. Perhaps my luck will still change, but I'm not feeling very lucky.

Year Released: 2012
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Running Time: 7 minutes
Click to Expand Credits:
Joseph Dankha's short film Gilgamesh focuses in on one particular moment of the epic, the death of Gilgamesh's friend Enkidu (David Petrovic), utilizing the thoughts of Gilgamesh (Jason Buhalis) via voiceover to explain his new found obsession with his own mortality. It's a heady subject to obsess over, and as Enkidu succumbs to the sleep we all will one day experience, it sets up Gilgamesh's resultant quest for immortality.
And as an intro or setup for a longer adaptation of aspects of the Epic of Gilgamesh from this plot point forward, the films succeeds. The use of natural lighting, coupled with the set, costume and art design sets the mood; it all builds momentum from the jump to leave you wanting to get into the rest of the story, and Gilgamesh's quest for immortality. So how, with so much going right for the short, does it go wrong? Simple: it's got some of the worst-looking beards I've ever seen.
I know, I know! It seems like a cheap shot, and if these were just slightly odd-looking beards it'd be one thing, but for all the art design this short film gets right, to have beards, at least two of them, look so horrendously fake is a major misstep. And if the beards I'm referring to are real, well I apologize to those who grew them, because it seriously looks like at least one guy is wearing dyed cotton balls on his face. Which, when you're listening to a swelling score and ponderous voiceover, stands out all the more for its laughable nature.
Overall, this is a dynamic short film that is severely undercut by an element that is unintentionally comical, yet hard to overlook. That said, it still managed to keep up its momentum, and had me interested in seeing more, so it's not like it didn't succeed somewhat. It just succeeded in spite of itself.
This film was submitted for review through our Submission for Review system. If you have a film you'd like us to see, and we aren't already looking into it on our own, you too can utilize this service.

(AUTOGRAPHED) Paperback - Window Poems Paperback - Window Poems Similar Items: Bill Cosby, Himself Traveling at Home New Collected Poems Editorial Reviews: SynopsisSince 1979, Wendell Berry has taken a walk almost every Sunday. Often on these walks of meditation and reflection, he finds himself making notes for poems. Some years he has accomplished as many as fifteen or twenty poems from those walks, while in other years only half a dozen. The resultant work has been published in collections of Sabbath Poems, a precursor to which was The Window Poems.The Window Poems were composed while Berry looked out of the multi-paned window of his writing studio, The Long-Legged House." The house is near the renovated farmhouse where Berry and his wife raised their children and continue to live. These poems contemplate Berry's personal life as much as they ponder the seasons he witnesses through the window. This beautiful book was first designed, composed, and printed on a Washington handpress by Bob Barris, at the Press on Scroll Road, with wood engravings by Wesley Bates. Including an introduction by James Baker Hall, this early sequence of poems signals and celebrates the groundwork of Berry's life.

10 tips for a successful engineering resume
Tip #1 - Ignore the one page rule
For some reason, since the beginning of time there has been this notion that a resume should only be one page. It should be short and simple and provide very basic information. This is great if the plan is to be a professional job seeker. A single page, in a readable font, provides enough space to put a name, a few companies and education before there is no more room left on the page. It doesn't provide enough space to really sell or distinguish the applicant from anyone else. Single page resumes are often looked at and quickly discarded because there is nothing on them that really catches attention. Don't allow this outdated rule to dictate the length of a resume.
Tip #2 - Explicitly show experience
A potential employer is not going to take the time to read between the lines as to whether an individual has a certain type of experience or skill. Experience needs to be explicitly declared and not implied. This can be done by listing each project that was performed at a company and then providing details as to what was involved. Demonstration of problem identification and the ability to come up with a solution is critical.
Tip #3 - Use bullet points to improve readability
Instead of writing paragraphs about the work performed at a company or on a project, the use of bullet points is highly recommended because they can drastically improve the readability of a resume. Bullet points are a quick way to break down skills and efforts that were put into a project. They allow the potential employer to quickly skim through and catch the highlights or experience. Figure 1 shows an example of how sentence structure can be combined with bullet points to effectively get the point across. This is something that someone adhering to the one page rule would never be able to do.

($28) Green-straw color. Vibrant lemon and lime pith on the nose, with deeper orange and magnolia qualities. Juicy flavors of tangerine and Meyer lemon boast impressive depth and cut, with a youthful spritz adding more energy. Bright, pure and mineral-driven on the long, vibrant finish. Open a bottle of this with Szechuan dumplings or Thai lemongrass chicken and watch it evaporate.
($28) Pale green. Stony, mineral-accented lime and grapefruit scents are precise and intensely spicy. Fleshy orange and lemon flavors show very good depth and a round, silky texture, with a touch of succulent herbs on the back. The lush finish offers pleasing ripeness and breadth. Less energetic than the '06 but creamier and more accessible.
($26) Dark red. Expansive, seductive bouquet of red berry liqueur, candied licorice and Asian spices. A suave, silky midweight, with vibrant but sweet red berry flavors, gentle tannins and a bright jolt of minerals on the back. Fresh, juicy and drinking well now, this will be a real crowd-pleaser right out of the gate.
($35) Deep red. Primary red and dark berry aromas display impressive depth and an exotic spicy character. Raspberry and floral pastille flavors are striking for their purity and intensity, with dusty tannins providing shape. Spice notes return on the juicy, long finish. This is really seductive.
($70) Dark ruby. Expressive dark berry and cherry preserve aromas show seductive sweetness and purity, with cured tobacco and baking spices adding complexity. Fleshy, sweet and deeply fruity, offering an array of dark berry flavors, with well-knit tannins lending gentle support. This has the balance to repay cellaring but is awfully delicious right now.
($26) Dark red. Smoky red and dark berry aromas are brightened by cracked pepper and mace. Lush and already eminently drinkable, with lively raspberry and candied cherry flavors, silky tannins and a sweet mocha accent on the back. A distinctly elegant style, with the balance to age but the seductiveness to drink now. (USA Wine West, Sausalito, CA)

GlaxoSmithKline CFO Interviewed On Q1 2013 Financial Results
LONDON, April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
GlaxoSmithKline reported a 2% decline in Group revenues in line with expectations and a dividend increase of 6% as part of its 2013 Q1 results. The pharmaceutical giant also officially announced the divestment of Lucozade and Ribena as well as the creation of a 'Global Established Products' group within its portfolio that would get a different strategic focus from the more innovative products.
In a video interview, Chief Financial Officer Simon Dingemans said he felt "very comfortable" about the trends the group was seeing from its performance with strong results from Japan and the US offsetting the tougher European environment.
He emphasized his confidence that the Group was on track to deliver the guidance of 3 to 4% earnings growth in constant currency terms, on sales growth of around 1%. He also highlighted the "significant, continued progress" GSK was making in the pipeline with six new products that had been "called out in front of regulators on both sides of the Atlantic".The video interview and transcript are available to watch now for free at http://video.merchantcantos.com.

"Allegheny West, a mixed residential-industrial neighborhood, was once known as Lincoln-Beech after two prominent residential streets. Ridge Avenue, thought in the late 19th century to have more millionaires per square foot than any other place in the world, was accordingly termed 'Millionaires' Row.' Monument Hill, the original location of the Western Theological Seminary, the first west of the Alleghenies, now is the site of [the Allegheny Campus of the Community College of Allegheny County.]" (32)

AMD Radeon R9 285 review: The GCN 1.2 torpedo that takes out Nvidia's GTX 760 September 2, 2014 at 8:00 am
AMD is launching its new R9 285 today, a killer GPU intended to knock Nvidia out of the $250 price bracket. The new card packs a whallop — as well as new features we haven't seen on GCN-based cards before. Is this GCN 1.2?

OpenGL 4.5 released, next-gen OpenGL unveiled: Cross-platform Mantle killer, DX12 competitor August 11, 2014 at 12:45 pm
At Siggraph 2014, the Khronos Group has announced both OpenGL 4.5 and, more excitingly, the Next Generation OpenGL Initiative. OpenGL 4.5, except for some new Direct3D 11 emulation features for easier porting, is your fairly standard annual OpenGL update. Next Generation OpenGL (OpenGL NG), however, is a complete rebuild of the OpenGL API. The idea, much like AMD's Mantle and DirectX 12, is to build an entirely new version of OpenGL that removes a lot of the abstraction, significantly reducing the overhead and inefficiencies when working at a low level with the bare metal GPU hardware.
Could Microsoft upgrade the Xbox One's hardware to fix the PS4 performance gap? August 5, 2014 at 12:05 pm
As you are well aware, there is a sizable gap between the hardware specifications of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. But who says this will always be the case? It's not unusual for a console to be tweaked or upgraded multiple times throughout its lifetime as new (cheaper) hardware becomes available. Because both consoles use fairly standard PC hardware, could Sony or Microsoft upgrade their consoles to close (or widen) the current performance gap?

Félix Arauz
Félix Arauz (born 1935 in Guayaquil, Ecuador) is a very important Latin American painter from Ecuador. Arauz is among the art circles of Enrique Tábara, Aníbal Villacís, Jose Carreño and Juan Villafuerte. In 1957, Arauz began studying under Caesar Andrade Faini at the School of Fine Arts. During his second year his father died leaving Arauz feeling nostalgic and isolated. Arauz funneled his emotions into his work creating some of the most beautiful, heartfelt and dreamlike imagery to date. Both his use of color and his compositions are strong and designed to leave a lasting impression on the viewer. Arauz's subjects usually include surreal flower arrangements, the innocence of children, faces, 'trees of life', landscapes and abstracts - all of which are created with a personal dreamlike aesthetic. In 1967, Arauz married Nila Villafuerte Estrada, older sister of Juan Villafuerte. Arauz, Juan Villafuerte and Jose Carreño had a very close friendship forged at the School of Fine Arts. In the same year, Arauz received a government scholarship to travel to the United States with the fellow master painter Gilberto Almeida (a member of VAN, the artist group founded by Enrique Tábara) and  ( Wikipedia article )

Over at Publishing Perspectives, Emily Williams continues her series of articles on scouting with one about why more books aren't published in English translation. Her focus is more on "large scale houses that compete for high profile submissions" than on the small, indie, nonprofits like Open Letter and Dalkey Archive and Melville House and New Directions that do do a number of books in translation, making this piece an interesting complement to a lot of the things we've written about here. (And thanks for the shout-out, Emily!)
Right from the start she hits one the bleak cycle of translations in today's book market:
A vicious cycle develops where the difficulty of placing books in the US makes it less likely foreign publishers and agents will invest in packaging their authors to submit here, which makes it harder for US editors to develop an understanding of foreign markets and what authors might be the best match for their audience. This, in turn, arguably contributes to the scattershot nature of publishing translations here and the chances that the books that do get published will find success.
And if you want to catch a glimpse of the differences in editorial practices between a small press and a large one, check this out:
There is no comparably mature translation market for any one language in the English speaking world, and the fact that books coming into the American market come from many different countries and languages makes it harder for editors here to develop the expertise in what any market has to offer, and which books from that country have the best shot of appealing to American readers. The books that are sold for translation here are more likely to come through the handful of US agents with close ties to one region or another, who are themselves usually working through professional relationships with particular agents or publishers abroad. What books by foreign authors that end up crossing an American editor's desk, then, depends in no small part on chance and good connections. Rachel Kahan, a Senior Editor at Putnam who reads fluently in Spanish, admits, "If they don't have a US agent and they aren't being conspicuously packaged for the US sale, which is the case a lot of the time, I tend to luck into things."
There are some instances where the absence of an American agent offers a savvy editor the advantage of speed, but in most cases American representation makes things easier.
"Not all editors in the business have relationships with their colleagues overseas or with foreign agents, so if there's an American on board, I think in some cases it lends the project a little more visibility," said Kahan. "And also if there's an American agent there's usually a translation or a partial translation of the book itself. That [US] subagent will have packaged it in a way that's the most accessible and maximizes its potential for the American market. Whereas when it's been an author that I've discovered, then I'm doing all of that work myself. [I'm] the one saying, 'You really have to trust me here, I think this is going to work, I'm staking my reputation on it.'"
The article—which you should really read in its entirety—ends on a much more positive note than it begins, although for a literary elitist like myself, it's a bit bittersweet . . . Anyway, talking about how to make a book in translation sell:
Kahan emphatically agrees, citing authors Marek Halter, the French-speaking author of religious historical fiction whose books she acquired while working at Crown, and Luis Miguel Rocha, the Portuguese author of the thrillers The Last Pope and The Holy Bullet, which she publishes at Putnam.
"Both speak reasonably good English and are very charismatic and very interesting," says Kahan, "and in both cases they came to New York, they met our sales people, they were involved in the publicity of the book. And, yes, that made a really big difference."
These success stories have given Kahan the impetus to continue to look for great authors from abroad. "I know it's very often said, Americans don't read books in translation, and publishers aren't interested in foreign writers, and that is not the case," she asserts. "We're not buying as much in other languages as our counterparts overseas are, but we are definitely buying them and there are certainly ones who break out. The first book I bought by Marek Halter [Sarah] has sold over 200,000 copies. They do work. They're harder to make work, there's no doubt about that, but there's this idea that American publishers just throw up a wall and don't take a chance on writers who don't write in English, and I don't think that's the case."
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .

.- Homeschooling parents in California have been worried that the state may prevent them from educating their children following a February Superior Court ruling. The court has agreed to rehear the case, and on Monday, Gov. Schwarzenegger and California's attorney general filed an amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief in favor of homeschooling.
Schwarzenegger and Brown's brief explains that the state education code allows children in private, full-time day schools to be exempt from compulsory public school education.
A "private home school," said the brief, can qualify as a private school under the code if it complies with state requirements for private schools. "Notably," says the brief, "there is no requirement that the teachers in such schools have a California teaching credential, only that they be 'persons capable of teaching.'"
The California education code, the officials said, "defines a private school as 'a person, firm, association, partnership, or corporation offering or conducting private school instruction on the elementary or high school level.'"
Nineteen members of the U.S. House of Representatives added their voices to the debate by having the Liberty Counsel file an amicus brief on their behalf on Tuesday.
According to the Liberty Counsel, the Congressmen say they are "united in their concern for the effect that an unfavorable decision in California could have on national homeschooling laws, as well as the parental rights protected by such laws."
On February 28, homeschoolers in California were blindsided by the state's 2nd District Court of Appeals ruling that ruled that homeschooling parents without teaching credentials have no legal right to homeschool their children. The current rehearing of the case was granted on March 25.

When gigantic multinational corporations buy one another, the process is a bit more complicated than grabbing a new couch off of Craigslist. Lenovo announced its intention to buy American phone manufacturer Motorola off of Google back in January of this year, less than two years after Google itself acquired the then-independent Motorola Mobility. Today the sale is final and approved by all necessary regulatory agencies, with a combined price of $2.91 billion in cash, credit, and stock.
Lenovo's kickstand-packing Yoga tablets are already unconventional, but the new Tablet 2 Pro is downright odd. In addition to a relatively huge 13.3" screen and a built-in subwoofer, this beast of a device packs a pint-sized Pico projector into the curve of its kickstand hinge. Lenovo claims that the Tablet 2 Pro was developed with "product engineer" Ashton Kutcher, in case it wasn't already weird enough. The redesigned kickstand also includes a cutout that pulls double duty as a hole for the camera and a handy hanging point.
It's amazing that more than a decade after the rise of "gadget blogs," gigantic international corporations still don't tick the little "confidential" mark when submitting their gadgets for certification by the Federal Communications Commission. Keep it up, folks, it gives us peeks at upcoming hardware like the Lenovo SW-B100 Smartband. This wearable was previously spotted going through the Bluetooth SIG's series of tests, and rumored for an IFA debut, which didn't happen.
Lenovo's initial Yoga tablets were novel thanks to their curved chassis with plus-sized batteries and integrated kickstands, but the lackluster specs (headlined by MediaTek processors) turned a lot of hardware fans off. The refreshed version of the 10-inch Yoga fixed that with a slightly better Snapdragon 400, 2GB of RAM, and a 1920x1200 screen. You can pick up a Yoga 10 Tablet HD+ for $100 off from Amazon, bringing the price down to a more reasonable $249.99.
Lenovo is an up-and-coming player in the Android world, having taken the Chinese smartphone market by storm in the last couple of years. Now that it owns Motorola, we'll likely be hearing the Lenovo name even more often over here in the US as the company seeks to expand the presence of its Android portfolio across the world.
This is probably especially true of tablets, which Lenovo has consistently been creating for a number of years now, and an area where Motorola has generally fallen flat.
Some companies like to make a show of their appearances at big tech conferences like IFA. Some of them just like to announce everything all at once, and Lenovo is squarely in the latter category. The company's only Android addition in Berlin is the Tab S8, but thanks to an interesting collection of specs and price tag, it's worth your attention. The 8-inch tablet is a decent mid-range device on paper, but the interesting part is that Lenovo has set the suggested retail price at $199.
If you've ever wanted cloud storage that you don't have to pay for each month, well, you have had no shortage of options for years. But here's another one. Lenovo has launched an Android app that taps into its new Beacon storage device. This way it can serve files to your Android phone or tablet alongside your TV and other electronics.
Android devices actually get a better deal than TVs, which must be physically tethered to the Beacon using an HDMI cable.
Regular slate tablets are not for you. No sir/ma'am, you demand flexibility and utility from your electronics. Lenovo's Yoga line might be more accommodating for your needs, since it uses a unique chassis that combines a kickstand, an ergonomic handle, a massive battery pack, and a pair of stereo speakers into one bulbous side of the device. Today's Best Buy deal of the day is the 8-inch Yoga Tablet, on sale for $70 off.
My love of devices with built-in kickstands is well-documented. So it's no surprise that Lenovo's Yoga Tablet line, which is more or less built around the kickstand (or at least a big, rounded, multi-purpose hump that holds the kickstand and several other neat things) would catch my attention. The first versions were brought down by sub-par hardware, but Lenovo is back with the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+, which addresses a lot of the issues with the original.

About French Montana & Waka Flocka
French Montana and Waka Flocka Flame need little introduction at this point - for the time being, they're both heavyweights in the rap game. However, pretty much all we've ever heard from them as an official duo was the December 2011, 16-track mixtape Lock Out, hosted by DJ Drama and DJ Green Lantern with a feature from Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Unfortunately, French is currently engaged in a legal battle with Debra Antney, Waka's mother and his former manager, for allegedly making concert deals behind her back while under contract with her. Don't count on any new collaborations in the near future.
Facts Only
- Although he reps Atlanta, Georgia, Waka was born in South Jamaica, Queens, New York.
- French Montana has a young son named Kruz with his ex-wife Deen Kharbouch.
- Waka was nicknamed "Waka" by his cousin, after Muppet Fozzie Bear's tendency to utter "Waka Waka".
- French Montana speaks English, Arabic and French.
- Waka is a staunch animal activist.

Ex-minister charged with soldiers' deathsComment on this story
Bamako - A Malian government spokesman says the country's former defense minister has been criminally charged in connection with the slayings of 21 soldiers who had opposed a coup leader's rise to power.
Spokesman Mahamane Baby said Friday that Gen. Yamoussa Camara was accused of being complicit in the murders of the soldiers, which took place back in 2012 not long after a coup leader seized control of Mali.
The killings are believed to have taken place in April 2012, when forces loyal to the ousted president attempted to grab back power from coup leader Amadou Haya Sanogo.
In December, a mass grave containing 21 skulls was discovered near the military barracks that had served as Sanogo's headquarters. Sanogo already has been charged with complicity in the kidnapping of his fellow soldiers.

Not sure about surfindia but most of the information put forward by Wikipedia is accurate and since both are same similar things, I guess it settles it.
