Rio Grande (river, United States and Mexico)
Rio Grande (rē´ō grănd, rē´ō grän´dē), river, c.1,885 mi (3,000 km) long, rising in SW Colo. in the San Juan Mts. and flowing south through the middle of N.Mex., past Albuquerque, then coursing generally southeast as the border between Texas and Mexico, making a big bend (see Big Bend National Park), and eventually emptying into the Gulf of Mexico at Brownsville, Tex., and Matamoros, Mex. Other paired towns along the river are Laredo, Tex., and Nuevo Laredo, Mex. and El Paso, Tex., and Juárez, Mex. The river, known in Mexico as Río Bravo del Norte, is unnavigable except near its mouth, but is now often reduced to a trickle there by drought and the drawing off of water upstream.
The Rio Grande is an important source of internationally regulated irrigation, a use it has long been put to. Pueblos were thriving on its banks N of Las Cruces, N.Mex., and the Native Americans were practicing irrigation of the arid country, when Spanish explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado arrived (1540). Today, dams on the Rio Grande are used for irrigation, flood control, and regulation of the river flow. Elephant Butte Dam (completed 1916) and Caballo Dam (completed 1938) in New Mexico create reservoirs that serve large areas. Further downstream N of Del Rio, Tex., is the Amistad Dam (completed 1969); it is 6 mi (9.7 km) long and impounds a huge reservoir; Amistad National Recreation Area is there. Below Laredo are Falcon Dam (completed 1954) and its large reservoir. Near the mouth of the Rio Grande is the irrigation-dependent citrus-fruit and truck-farm region commonly called the Rio Grande Valley and developed principally in the 1920s. An agreement between the United States and Mexico in 1944 provided for future distribution of the river's water, but in drought years the amount reaching the United States is often less than what is called for under the treaty.
Shifts in the river's channel have led to border disputes between the United States and Mexico. Parts of its bed have been stabilized by canalization, and an international border commission mediates disputes. The 114-year controversy over the location of the border at El Paso was finally settled in 1968 when the water of the Rio Grande was diverted into a concrete channel. A 191-mi (307-km) section of the river on the American shore below Big Bend National Park is protected as the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River (see National Parks and Monuments, table).
See R. E. Riecker, Rio Grande Rift (1979); P. Horgan, Great River: The Rio Grande in North American History (2 vol., 1984).

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate presently in production. Initial sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was exceeded in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but a number of changes were made at the conventional opening of the new design year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made sufficient distinction to necessitate designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has sustained with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Graham MO are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first version however, due to the added equipment needed to fulfill brand-new United States emission and safety regulations, was heavier than the first design. Performance was decreased and in the first year just 385,993 cars were offered.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Graham MO were available in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a 3rd time. This time it was based upon the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly big enough for four people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 rate automobile and Ford constructed 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Tool Include 'Seal of Xatanitos' Certificates in Five Copies of 'Opiate' EP Reissue
Remember reading or watching 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' as a kid? What horrific atrocities wouldn't you commit to nab one of those golden tickets and take a tour of Willy Wonka's magical chocolate factory? Better yet, how many times did you open up a Hershey's bar pretending that a golden ticket may be inside? Well, that very fantasy is about to become a reality for five very lucky Tool fans who purchase the band's 21st anniversary edition of the 'Opiate' EP.
We recently reported on the limited-edition reissue of Tool's legendary 1992 EP, 'Opiate.' Celebrating the album's 21st birthday, Tool chose to craft 5,000 copies of the the reissued EP, along with new artwork from Tool guitarist and visual mastermind Adam Jones. We've always thought Jones would make for a perfect Willy Wonka, and in that vein, Tool have placed 'Seal of Xatanitos' certificates into five of the 5,000 EPs. The lucky fans who find the five seals will be gifted with a mystery prize, only to be revealed after the winners present their acquired certificates.
In a new interview, Jones explains why he chose to update the original 'Opiate' artwork (new artwork pictured left), "When we did the art for the original, we did it so fast," Jones tells Spin. "The record company was giving us input about what sells and what doesn't, and we tried to ignore it. It's nice to update it. It still features the image of the priest from the original. There are more ideas developed around it instead of just this one guy. I feel like Spielberg or Lucas updating their movies. It's me thanking the fans, giving them something special."
The 21st anniversary edition of 'Opiate' also contains artwork by Adi Granov and design packaging by Mackie Osbourne, who has worked with Tool in the past for '10,000 Days,' 'Lateralus' and 'Salival' along with posters and merch. Fans will also be able to harness their specialty glasses from the '10,000 Days' album to view new stereoscopic imagery included with the 'Opiate' reissue.
'Opiate' will be available on March 26 for the general public via the band's website and on March 22 for ToolArmy members.

Why CEOs Need to Care about Trust in Business
- Authors:
Publication Date:
April 2014
Capitalism depends on public trust for its legitimacy, and if public trust in business is low, governments and regulators act. If companies wish to avoid extra regulation, they must address this issue. But what are the standards of compliance beyond the law that create confidence in the business sector? According to a group of directors, business journalists, and academics, chief executives can address this issue by creating company-specific standards, publicly reporting their adherence to those standards, and establishing real consequences for violations of company policies.

First Look: Crystal Serenityby Pat Hagan
The passenger lobby, a gleaming two-story atrium, is dominated by glass and chrome stairs, a hand-cut sculpture and a waterfall, with a stained-glass dropped ceiling. A striking translucent grand piano is the focus of the Crystal Cove, with its intimate clusters of Italian leather sofas, complemented by the earth-tone hues of plush carpeting and shimmering drapes framing wide window views of the sparkling ocean beyond. This was a popular gathering area before and after dinner, where professional pianists and ensembles played, and passengers enjoyed old-fashioned sing-alongs with their cocktails.
Greeted by white-gloved attendants, I was escorted to my stateroom, a 403 sq. ft. Penthouse. The sitting area was spacious with a sofa, armchair, and large coffee table. The dark wood entertainment center offered a remote control flat-screen color TV, featuring 24-hour news and sports via CNN and ESPN, data port for laptop computer hookup, and refrigerator with mini-bar. The queen-sized bed had been converted into twins, with plush down comforters and pillows. The bedside telephone system was equipped for private voice mail and automated wake-up calls.
The cabin also came with binoculars, Riedel glassware, personalized stationary, welcome champagne, a fully stocked in-room bar with complimentary in-room soft drinks and bottled water, plus fresh flowers and English mohair blankets.
The bathroom would become my own personal spa with its Jacuzzi tub, huge separate shower, granite accents, two hairdryers, plush bathrobe and slippers, telephone, and a nice selection of toiletries that were replenished daily. (It was wonderful languishing in a before-dinner bubble bath while sipping champagne and listening to soothing music from the CD player.)
An added bonus comes with a Penthouse: a personal butler. Introduced to Klauss, with his delightful Danish accent, resplendent in black tuxedo, I wondered why I would need him when I already had a stewardess. But it didn't take long to discover his services were invaluable. He unpacked my luggage, took wrinkled clothing for complimentary pressing, made reservations for alternate dining venues, brought customized fruit bowls and canapé trays daily, opened champagne bottles and poured, fixed stuck zippers, and found film and batteries for my camera when the photo shop was not open. When my traveling companion became ill and wanted only chicken soup and grilled cheese, Klauss personally went to a chef and had a tray specially prepared. And never was room service merely a delivered tray. A linen cloth was spread over the table, then set with china, crystal, and silver. Waffles, fresh cream and blueberries for breakfast became my favorite treat of the day!
With such luxurious accommodations it was tempting to spend the entire cruise in my stateroom. After all, everything in the ship's dining rooms was available through room service, and I had my own private sundeck. However, there were far too many activities onboard to keep me from becoming a hedonistic hermit.
So many choices for dining, and no menu is ever repeated, not even on a three-month world cruise, although guests have the option of ordering past favorites. There are two alternative specialty restaurants—the Italian Prego (my favorite), reminiscent of northern Italy and offering a seasonally-changing menu from the revered Los Angeles Valentino restaurant; and Silk Road, an elegant pan-Asian restaurant and The Sushi Bar, both exclusively featuring selections by the internationally-acclaimed Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa.
I especially enjoyed lunch at the country-club style Lido Cafe at poolside, afterwards treating myself to hand-dipped ice cream from Scoops and an assortment of freshly-baked cookies. And the elegant afternoon teas in the lovely Palm Court, with its floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping 270 degree views, were a special treat. I also enjoyed sunset cocktails and romantic dancing with the cordial Ambassador gentlemen dance hosts.
If I experienced guilt from all the delicious food, I could experience pleasant atonement in the Crystal Spa, operated by Steiners, with its natural colors, textiles and surfaces of a peaceful Feng Shui environment. I especially delighted in the Cleopatra Soaking bath, as well as soothing massages and herbal treatments. And everyone, it seemed, especially enjoyed the quarter-mile teak Promenade deck circling the ship. Sheltered lifeboats are never in the way of walkers or joggers and do not obstruct views from any stateroom.
But despite so many shipboard activities, the ship has a nice mix of quiet areas conveniently located so passengers can find their preferred ambience any time of day or night in an understated décor that is warm and inviting. I could tuck myself away, undisturbed, to read or write postcards or just watch the mesmerizing waves.
Crystal Serenity, with a guest capacity of 1,080, has one of the highest space ratios of any luxury ship: 63.0, offering 93,500 square feet of public space and 14 decks. However, according to Hotel Director Herbert Jaeger of Salzburg, Austria, the ship will never be full even when fully booked, because there are always at least 100 singles onboard. On this particular cruise there were 166 singles, 50 of them under the age of 21.
Shopping is upscale along the 3,000 square foot "Avenue of the Stars" arcade, but if you are invited to take part in the fashion show, by all means do so, as you will receive a 15 percent discount on purchases in the clothing shops, jewelry store and gift boutique.
If Serenity is busy by day, it bustles by night: the cozy Avenue Saloon, a sophisticated cocktail and piano bar; the Connoisseur Club, a mahogany-paneled lounge for fine cigars and cognac; the rocking Pulse Disco and karaoke venue; and the glittering 3,000 sq. ft. Caesars Palace at Sea casino, offering blackjack, mini-baccarat, roulette, dice tables, and more than 85 gaming machines. The Hollywood Theatre presents first-run movies, and the library features more than 2,000 books, videos, DVDs and books-on-tape. In addition, the Bridge lounge provides all kinds of card and board games, and the Art Gallery showcases artwork for sale and at auction on each cruise.
Crystal Cruises spares no expense to present the finest musical theater at sea. The plush Galaxy Lounge is a showplace of brilliant lights, movement and sounds, Broadway-style costumes, intricate choreography and stunning performances that mesmerize. I found the shows onboard the Serenity to be the finest I have ever enjoyed at sea. And the night when the Australian Phantom of the Opera, Donald Cant, performed, I felt as though I were actually on Broadway, enjoying the version I had seen there too many times to count.
We had many exciting ports to visit, and some of the shore excursions—Cannes, France; Dubrovnik, Croatia; and Florence, Sorrento, Taormina, and Venice were a bit pricey, but the ones I took were well worth it. Experienced English-speaking guides, along with friendly and helpful cruise staff made for pleasant adventures. In the throes of the infamous European heat wave, we were furnished with ice water, fans, and umbrellas so the weather was endurable. Motor coaches were air-conditioned and comfortable.
According to Hotel Director Jaeger, there is usually a two-year wait for booking one of the four Crystal Penthouses (Category CP), which are the most expensive. For instance, the 106-day world cruise sailing January 19 from L.A. would be approximately $186,617 per person after all discounts. Least expensive, after discounts, would be category C at approximately $39,845 each.
Crystal has several savings programs. The Crystal Society for past cruisers has varied perks and discounts, including complimentary upgrades, shipboard spending, air upgrade credits and even free cruises, all depending on the number of cruises on Crystal ships. Selected Value Collection sailings offer 2-for-1 savings. Single travelers pay just 125% of the applicable double occupancy fare for categories C through G, 135% for categories A and B, and 150% for categories PH and P.
As always after a cruise, there has to be a return to the real world, but, for me, this time it was even more traumatic. My first morning home I kept punching the numbers on my bedside phone, but Klauss never showed up with my blueberries and waffles!

My best phase in international cricket, says Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma's success in the role of an opener has given a new lease of life to his international career and the promising batsman believes that the current run of form has been "the best and most satisfying phase" since he donned India colours.
"From the point of view of consistency, this has certainly been the best phase as an international cricketer. I am enjoying my new role as an opener. That I have been successful and my contribution has helped the team's cause makes it even more satisfying. I am hoping to keep up the good work," Sharma said.
In the 12 matches since he was asked to open, the talented 26-year-old Mumbaikar has scored five half-centuries apart from two near-50 scores and Sharma attributes it to the sound technique that he possesses.
"I was always confident about my technique. The opener's job is specialized one but I always knew that I could hold my own if I am given an opportunity at the top of the order. Also I have opened a couple of times in T20's for India, so it wasn't an entirely new experience," said Sharma, who scored a match-winning 83 against England in Mohali, on his maiden appearance as an opener.

The opener's role
On his own admission, the offer to open the innings came suddenly to him.
"I wasn't exactly surprised but I knew that it would be challenging. But then in life, when challenges are thrown at you, you should believe in your instincts and go for it. The innings of 83 against England wasn't the best but certainly an effort that proved to be a morale booster for me," stated Sharma, who has scored 2459 runs in 98 ODIs with two centuries and 17 half-centuries.
Asked about the change in ODI opener's role since two new balls are being used, he admitted that it is indeed a big challenge.
"The opener's role with two new balls coming into play has changed. It's no longer going after the bowling from the word 'go'. There are a few shots which should be avoided during the initial overs", he said.
"For example, when the ball is pitched up, one would love to play drive but now it is better to be a bit watchful. Having said that, I am not saying that one shouldn't play his natural game," Sharma explained.

'Responsibility always makes you a better cricketer'
He has faced scathing criticism and intense media scrutiny after the initial failures but nothing has perturbed him.
"When people said a lot of things, I was not really disturbed as I knew my ability. My job is to focus on my game and I try to do that. I can't stop someone from writing whatever he feels like. I would rather concentrate on my job and that is to score runs."
Sharma has captained Mumbai Indians to their maiden IPL triumph and leading the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Lasith Malinga has certainly helped him grow as a cricketer.
"I won't say that leading someone like Sachin Tendulkar or Ricky Ponting made me conscious but certainly more responsible. The moment you become captain, you not only have to lead by example with your own performances but also be responsible for field placings and bowling changes.
Responsibility always makes you a better cricketer," he opined.

Good show in IPL
Sharma scored 538 runs, including four half-centuries, in 19 matches in the sixth edition of the IPL.
However, he was guarded about the fact when asked whether he would like to open in longer version in South Africa too since he has got some success in the shorter format
"I wouldn't like to make any comments on the South Africa tour. That's still some time away and I would like to wait and watch and only react to the situation. Let that situation arise," he concluded.

Last year I hosted a tasting event to benefit our local animal shelter. It was very well received and successful so we are planning another. I'd love suggestions for a theme for this year. We had a good mix of newbies and aficionados and expect the same this year. We are in a small county of 20,000 two hours north of Santa Fe in New Mexico, USA. We are fortunate to have a great distillery there (Santa Fe Spirits) and the owner has agreed to come up again and help with presenting. Rather than the usual regional themes I'd like something fun - maybe something with an animal theme? Thanks so much in advance!
These were last year's whiskys: Isle of Arran 10yo, The Balvenie 14yo Caribbean Cask (the favorite), Glengoyne 21yo, Gendronach 15yo Revival, Lagavulin 16yo, and for a blind tasting we finished with Santa Fe Spirits Colkegan.

We'll begin with Geekbench, which measures processor and memory performance across different platforms—Geekbench scores shouldn't be affected much by differences between iOS and Android, so it's a relatively reliable benchmark for cross-platform comparisons.
Between its relatively high clock speed and its improved architecture, the Exynos 5 is the undisputed king of Geekbench, beating out even Apple's high-performance A6X by an impressive margin. Note the impressive memory bandwidth scores, especially—Cortex-A9 processors like the Apple A5X and NVIDIA Tegra 3 have long been blighted by unimpressive memory bandwidth, but ARM's and Apple's new architectures go a long way toward curing that deficiency.
Note also that the quad-core chips in our test suite are posting some deceptive scores here—the extra cores help out in synthetic benchmarks because they tend to use all of the cores at once, but in phones and tablets right now, much more software is optimized for use with two cores than with four. Thus, even in situations (like the Integer score) where the Galaxy Note 10.1 appears to beat the Nexus 10, real-world performance should still heavily favor the newer tablet.
You can feel this especially in things like boot time—the Nexus 7 takes 43.8 seconds to boot from the time you press the power button to the time the tablet is ready to use. The Nexus 10 takes just 18.6 seconds to do the same thing. Samsung could also be using faster flash memory in the Nexus 10 relative to the stuff in the Nexus 7, but either way apps and Web pages are much quicker to load on the larger tablet. The Nexus 7 still doesn't feel slow, but the Nexus 10 puts it to shame.
The usual caveats about JavaScript benchmarks apply here: these scores have at least as much to do with the different platforms' JavaScript implementations as with the underlying hardware. Comparing apples to apples (or, rather, Androids to Androids), though, the Exynos 5 boosts scores over older, slower chips like those in the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7—more so in the newer, more-intense Octane benchmark than in the older, lighter SunSpider test, which at this point is really becoming a little too old to tell us meaningful things about processor performance.
Apple and Imagination Technologies, the company that supplies the GPU side of Apple's ARM chips, have long pushed the envelope in its phones and tablets when it comes to graphics performance, and as a result iOS devices tend to have better graphics performance than the Android-based competition. The Nexus 10 is a definite step forward here, but Apple's surprise introduction of the fourth-generation iPad and its beefy A6X SoC keeps Cupertino in the lead on this one.
The Nexus 10 is still no slouch, though, and it does beat the third-generation iPad by a small but measurable amount. This is more obvious in GLBenchmark's Offscreen tests, which puts all of the GPUs on the same footing by rendering scenes at 1080p, but it's even more impressive in the Onscreen tests, since the Nexus 10 has to run the tests at a higher 2560x1600 resolution rather than the Retina iPad's lower 2048x1536. In any case, the Nexus 10 can't take the performance crown here, but it's still quite competitive, and as we noted in our iPad 4 review, developers may not be fully utilizing that tablet's increased graphics performance any time soon.
It's also important to note that in at least some cases much of this increased GPU performance is soaked up by the high-resolution screen, resulting in a device with higher absolute performance than previous-generation devices, but similar apparent performance. You can see this in the Egypt Classic test, where the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Note 10.1 can keep up with the performance of the vastly superior Nexus 10 and iPad 4. It should also be noted that, like the Retina iPads, the extra processing power under the hood makes the tablet quite warm in spots during heavy use (though not warm enough to cause the speed throttling issues the Nexus 4 suffers from).
Battery life
We wanted to run the Nexus 10 through a battery of tests to see what kind of usable life you can expect in a variety of situations—Google promises about nine hours of usable battery life when watching video, but these manufacturer claims are often optimistic. In all of our tests, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth were both enabled, the tablet's screen brightness was set to 50 percent, and the automatic light sensor was disabled—re-enabling it or choosing to turn the screen brightness down or up manually will change these numbers accordingly.
In our light use and Web browsing test, we streamed some music from Spotify and alternated between browsing pages with Chrome and reading things in the Kindle app. The tablet lasted a respectable nine hours and 26 minutes while performing these activities.
Then, I switched to video, streaming content from both Hulu and Netflix. While doing this, the tablet lasted for around eight hours and 40 minutes, a hair under Google's estimates, but not by too much.
Finally, to look at battery performance while gaming, we turned to GLBenchmark 2.5's battery life test. Running the Egypt HD test non-stop with the screen set to half brightness, the battery lasted for a much shorter 3 hours and 45 minutes. Gaming is a big battery muncher in the best of times, but the iPad 4 we reviewed was able to run this test for just over five-and-a-half hours, a substantial step up.
Overall, the Nexus 10's battery life isn't bad, and for general use it's pretty close to Google's estimates. Gamers beware, though—unleashing the Exynos 5's full performance will drain the battery rapidly.
It's the apps, stupid!
Compare the Nexus 10 to the first modern Android tablet, the Motorola Xoom. It launched in Feburary of 2011 for $499, but was overshadowed almost immediately the next month by the lighter, faster iPad 2. The version of Android it shipped with, Honeycomb, was so shaky that Google actually withheld its code from the Android Open Source Project repositories, preventing modders and the open-source community from working with it. It wasn't an altogether bad tablet, but it didn't make a strong case for Android in the tablet market and ended up being the first of many 10-inch Android tablets that didn't make a splash.
In contrast, the Nexus 10's hardware and operating system are both fundamentally sound. Android 4.2 is an essentially mature, polished operating system, and graphics performance is the only metric in which the fourth-generation iPad is unmistakably superior. Otherwise, the tablet you prefer will really depend on the operating system that you like more—both are well-constructed, fast, and high-quality devices, and the Nexus 10 beats the Retina iPad's entry price by $100 to boot.
One problem remains: apps. The Android app ecosystem isn't bad—meat-and-potatoes productivity staples like Dropbox, Twitter, and Evernote are all present and accounted for—but there are still issues that keep it second to iOS. For one, I would argue that there are certain application categories—games and magazines, particularly—where developers tend to target iOS first, with Android applications following later (if ever). Most of the more prominent touch game developers—Rovio with Angry Birds and its ilk, Zynga with Words with Friends and Draw Something, Halfbrick with Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride—have their games in both the iTunes Store and Google Play. Venture a bit off the beaten path and nearly all of my favorite touchscreen games from the past couple of years are iOS exclusives—Tiny Wings, Spelltower, Ticket to Ride Pocket, Hero Academy, Super Hexagon, and 10000000 are but a few examples. Things like the Humble Bundle for Android indicate that this trend may be beginning to reverse itself, but for now iOS is the first place to go for touch gaming.
The other major problem is quite well-documented at this point: of the apps that are in Google Play, many are targeted toward smaller phone-sized screens rather than tablet screens. On the 7-inch Nexus 7, this is more forgivable, but there's no place for phone apps to hide in the vast expanse of a 10-inch screen. To demonstrate:
The Nexus 10 was created in part to help solve this problem. "Part of the reason why we've invested significantly in building [the Nexus 10] is exactly so that we have more and more motivation for the developer community," Android director of product management Hugo Barra told The Verge—in short, now that there's a suitable 10-inch Android tablet available for a competitive price, Google hopes developer interest will begin to spike. Google also recently published a set of guidelines designed to goad developers into making better tablet apps for the operating system.
Even if this happens, though, it puts early adopters in the uncomfortable position of having to purchase something now based on hopes that it will fulfill all of its promise at some unspecified later date. If any tablet hardware is going to be able to drive these changes, the Nexus 10 (and the Nexus 7) is it, but as we've seen with the failed Android Update Alliance, Google's efforts to steer the wider Android ecosystem with light touches haven't always borne fruit.
The Good
- Solid, injection-molded plastic makes for a tablet that is both sturdy and light
- High-resolution screen is nice and crisp
- Samsung's Exynos 5 delivers excellent performance
- Delivers high-end hardware starting at $399, $100 less than the Retina iPads
- Decent front-facing stereo speakers
- Good (if not exceptional) battery life for general use
The Bad
- Screen's viewing angles and color are slightly inferior to that of the iPad
- We prefer the lightly textured back of the Nexus 7 to the Nexus 10's rubbery back
- No cellular option at present
- No storage expansion
- Poor battery life while gaming
The Ugly
- At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Android's tablet app ecosystem is as weak as ever

Peggy Cooper: Joes fiancée and trainee nurse, faces the horrors of treating wounded men, returning from fighting in France, believing Joe is still safe in England.
Louis Servier: A young French soldier, initially keen to do his bit but soon terrifyingly out of his depth and running scared.
Brigitte Fabron: Louis girlfriend, who he assumes will be waiting for him, but who has, in fact turned her attention to the occupying Germans.
Marcel Servier: Louis younger brother, sent away by his parents who fear for his safety, treks to the coast in the hope of safe passage to England. En route, he meets many new friends, some of whom have even more reason than him to fear for their lives.
Olive Cooper: Peggys cousin, working for the local council. Her only interest in life is her German lover, now forced to return to his homeland. Their letters keep them together and Olive delights in giving him all the news and gossip.
How will they face tragedy and uncertainty, not knowing what the future will bring and will they survive the heartbreak of Separation?

A IS FOR AFRO: READING IS POWER (2012) teaches children (ages 0 to 6) not only the alphabet, but also how to read and even write. A IS FOR AFRO is the gateway to childhood literacy and the first step toward eliminating the achievement gap in reading specifically and in language arts generally.
In the classroom, A IS FOR AFRO is most effective when coupled with the EARLY-READER FUN-SHOP: http://www.excelsusfoundation.com/excelsus/Early-Reader_Fun-shop.html.
The follow-up to A IS FOR AFRO is FABLES BEFORE LUNCH (2013), a collection of four original and well-bred tales for children aged 6 and up. These tales are fresh allegories that employ simple, but complex vocabulary, common figures of speech, and themes that show affectivity and personal character.
FABLES BEFORE LUNCH is a collection of rich and figurative stories whose value lies in entertaining and educating young children to become savvy readers.
Áreas de especialización
A Is For Afro: Early-Reader Fun-shop is a national, traveling literacy exhibit. The purpose of the A Is For Afro Fun-shop is three-fold: to teach children in preschool and kindergarten the alphabet; to teach children in preschool through the first or second grade the high-frequency words and the Bibliobibulus Words that they need to know before entering the second grade; and to show all of these children that literacy is fun!

Wagner Presents Intense Prison Dramaby Jim Amidon • April 27, 2006 Share:
Peter Wagner spent his junior year studying down under at the University of Tasmania School of Visual and Performing Arts. There he was able to experiment with different types of plays, directing, and acting. It was also there that he spent a great deal of time working on "character-focused" acting.
He brings the results of his time down under to the Wabash stage this Friday and Saturday night when he debuts Geoff Dobson's intense prison drama, Heads in the Sand, at 8:00 p.m. each night in the Experimental Theater of the Fine Arts Center. (photo album)
"I wanted to produce a show that was actor-focused after being involved in that type of theater while overseas last year," Wagner says. "There I was able to be in productions that focused on getting to know the character individually. This occurred through a long process of intense one-on-one actor-director rehearsals.
"That kind of theatrical process added a level of intensity in my acting that might not have been there before."
He's brought that intensity back to Wabash and will stage a play with four relative newcomers, but men loaded up with plenty of intensity. Heads in the Sand stars Patrick Millikan, Greg Mahoney, Jack Martin, and Wes Jinks.
Don't look for detailed costumes or well-designed sets; Heads in the Sand is in-your-face drama from beginning to end.
While studying in Tasmania, Wagner met Australian playwright Geoff Dobson, author of Heads in the Sand. Wagner describes the play as "an intense prison drama following the lives of four inmates."
Friday's production of Dobson's play marks the international debut of the show.
"I have had the pleasure of working with four focused individuals in this process who have pursued this project with as much fervor and intensity as I have," says Wagner of his cast.
Wagner does point out that because of intense adult situations and harsh language, Heads in the Sand is not recommended for children.
He also suggests that the play is demanding for actors and audience alike. "Be prepared to come and be questioned," he adds. "Be prepared to ask yourself, 'Do I have my head in the sand?'"

In Fashion: Spring fashion breaks
by Sharon Mosley
It only takes a few minutes of scanning your favorite stores online or strolling through the mall to realize that now is a great time to give yourself (and your wallet) a break. Emerge from that stuffy old parka and come into the daylight savings plan. It's time to get stimulated again.
Retailers are ready to make you a deal. You'll find winter clearance sales in full swing ... and even bargains on new spring merchandise. As a general rule, you can get away with paying less for clothes you wear this time of year.
Here are some places you'll find some real fashion breaks for under $50:
— The whole "Bollywood" trend is playing at an Old Navy near you. From printed slouchy bags for $12.50 to paisley tunics for $24.50 to printed flip-flops for $6.50 (love the argyle ones for the guys), there are plenty of ways to update your wardrobe. And you can even try a trendy "maxi dress" at these prices.
— JCPenney is also part of the maxi trend with their designer collections. Instead of a sundress, why not go for a longer length dress like the paisley one by Bisou Bisou or the bold striped version by Allen B. Schwartz on sale for $59.99? Well, they do cost a little more than that original $50 budget, but these dresses look much more expensive than they are. Visit www.jcpenney.com for more details.
— Macy's has always a great place to browse for the latest trends on a large scale. This year, Macy's has a thing for choosing great dresses embellished with flirty ruffles or fluttery sleeves — all for under $50. And guys aren't left out either. Check out the polos and crewnecks for $9.99 at www.macys.com.
— Ever since Vera Wang stepped onto the retail stage at Kohl's, the fashion quotient has been moved up to a new level. Vera is still providing fresh and fun items to this store's merchandise lineup.
Her signature plum-colored sheath dress is a great deal on sale at $44.99, but her painterly floral T-shirts at $19.99 are perfect for spring and summer. And don't forget to check out newcomer Dana Buchman's collection. Check out the animal-print aviator sunglasses for $25 at www.kohls.com.
— Target is another retail giant that has tapped into the designer-driven market, giving consumers great looks at even better prices. Mossimo Giannulli's collections are always budget priced — I mean we're talking jersey dresses in the latest candy stripe colors for $19.99 — but I always head first to the accessory aisles.
This spring, Target is partnering with internationally acclaimed accessories designers Lily Band and Sulaika Zarrouk to launch a limited-edition handbag collection, Felix Rey for Target. The Felix Rey for Target collection will be in stores beginning March 29, 2009 until June 14, 2009 and ranges in price from $19.99 to $49.99. Visit www.target.com for more information on these products.
— If you haven't been in a Sears store in awhile, you might be surprised at what fashionable goodies await you. The Apostrophe collection is brimming with trendy pieces that you can easily work into a professional wardrobe. For more casual options at budget-conscious prices, check out the Tropical Escapes collection online at www.sears.com. And you'll find classic halter dresses and tie-front tunics for only $17.99 each.
— One of my all-time favorite designers is Norma Kamali. Her concrete-clad store OMO, on W. 56th Street in Manhattan, is a must-see for fashionistas of all ages. Even though I love visiting her inspiring store when I go to New York, I have to tell you I'm very happy that Norma's at Wal-Mart now, too.
It really inspired me when I ordered a black jersey top for $20 online at www.walmart.com. This "All-In-One" piece can be worn as a boatneck tunic, a halter, a one-shoulder top or a skirt. Now that's getting a lot for your money, if you ask me.

PATEROS — An Omak man helped rescue the driver of a tractor-trailer that crashed into a marsh Thursday afternoon, May 2, 5 miles south of town.
Witness Craig Randall, 21, was southbound on U.S. Highway 97 when the truck in front of him lost control around a curve and struck the guardrail on the west side of the road.
The truck separated from its trailer, overturned and rolled down the embankment before coming to rest on its wheels in a marsh. The trailer came to rest on its side next to the roadway.
Randall said he called 911 right away, and then jumped into the marsh to help the driver, Richard S. Radisich, 39, East Wenatchee.
"The cab of the truck was torn off and I couldn't see him," Randall said. "I had to jump in and help get his head above water and get him out of the cab. The vehicle was still sinking by the time I got there."
Initially, Radisich's head was under water and his legs were pinned against the driver's door, Randall said.
"He told me he could move (his legs), he just had to go out from the top of his vehicle," Randall said.
After the crash, Radisich was taken to Three Rivers Hospital in Brewster. He was cited by the Washington State Patrol with driving under the influence.
Okanogan County Sheriff's Office Chief Criminal Deputy Dave Rodriguez said it's scary to think that professional drivers might be driving under the influence.
"He's lucky (Randall) was there," Rodriguez said. "Maybe this will be a wakeup call."
Randall said it was instinct more than anything that made him react.
"God called us to do something," he said.
He said law enforcement is something he's always wanted to get into, and he's currently in the process of applying for a job at the jail.
Randall said the water wasn't particularly cold, but it was muddy and "deeper than I thought," he said.
The incident occurred at 4:43 p.m.
"Basically, he was just going too fast and went into the ditch," Randall said.
Deputy Shane Jones was in the Pateros area at the time and was the first responder to the scene. The truck was destroyed.

Royal Navy
The Royal Navy of Great Britain was still the world's greatest navy at the outbreak of World War II, as might be expected from an island power with a far-flung empire. As a result of the Washington Treaty, Britain went to war with mainly World War I-vintage vessels, plus those built in the post-war naval race subsequently curtailed by the treaty.
Not counting Commonwealth units, the Royal Navy deployed over 3,300 ships of all types during World War Two. Although badly stretched, the Royal Navy lived up to its traditional 'can do!' ethos, fighting hard in all theatres. The great fleet actions planned for and desired by the architects of the Royal Navy did not materialise during World War Two, but the Royal Navy adapted well to the war it was destined to fight, and emerged with great honour.
Cast in resin with metal 'details,' these models are 3D-designed to be extremely accurate 1/1800 scale representations of the fighting ships of World War II yet extremely easy for modeller's to work with. Supplied unpainted with integrated bases featuring realistic wakes, this range is being continually added to and will grow to become one of the most comprehensive available for the discerning model collector and gamer.

Arno Kienbacher necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 281 diseños de 71 diseñadores freelance.
I am an Austrian who started a small business in the Portuguese construction industry ten years ago. Recently we got into polishing concrete as a modern flooring solution and success pushes us to make the next step: Not just respond to people who come knocking on our door, but to actively go out and promote polished concrete to the potentially interested customers. Now that we registered the brand "belbetão", which means beautiful concrete in Portuguese, we need the right logo ... image ... to launch our "product" professionally into the market ... print it on our business cards and brochures, cars, trucks, machines etc. We are a tiny team of five ... dedicated to do it right.
Typically we will communicate to architects and planners ... engineers .... but also to anybody who is interested in maintaining a clean floor at low cost ... e.g. hospitals, schools, museums, factories, shopping centers, etc ... their owners or their maintenance directors.
In presentations it usually comes down to: "Do I trust these guys with my factory floor?" and "Is this solution really that good, or are they just showing me some nice pictures?"
Since the word "belbetão" is already long, the challenge is to create a logo which is still easily identifiable and easy to read ... if it is printed on a van driving by.
Our in-house efforts came up with the word in bold font, a reflection of the word underneath .... and a symbol next to it, created out of the two B's in belbetão. Needless to say we could not convince ... let alone excite ourselves.
Capital letters seem to work better .... but are not a must.
The preferred color is blue, since our present company is called BLAU ... but all shades are an option ... from steel blue (almost grey) to turquoise (almost green). The logo should work in color and black and white.
It should convey the image of: competence, clean, shiny, technical, perfect.
Keep it serious and simple ... not playful and artistic.

Elliot Kebbie is set to complete a dream move to Atletico Madrid after a successful trial with the Spanish side, according to reports.
The 17-year-old former Leeds United trainee rejected a scholarship offer at Elland Road, and instead opted for Spain after being offered a trial with La Liga and European champions Barcelona.
Whilst a move to the Nou Camp failed to materialise for the Halifax-born teenager, Kebbie has since taken his chance with Atletico, and the the Daily Mail reports that he's agreed a four-year deal at the Estadio Vicente Calderón.
Leeds United are set to receive around £500,000 in compensation for the move, according to the paper, although it's unclear as to whether the financial agreement will be reached in-time for manager Simon Grayson to have additional funds this month.
The Whites have already added USA international Robbie Rodgers to their ranks this month, whilst Andros Townsend joined on loan and Danny Pugh signed a permanent deal.
Sean St Ledger has also been linked with a move, along with a plethora of other players, including Emile Heskey (whom the manager denied) and Kris Boyd. Adam Smith is also being linked with a Leeds loan move from Spurs - potentially following in the footsteps of Townsend.
As for Kebbie, his job is to now try and impress Diego Simeone, although it's unlikely he'll be involved in first team activity any time soon for last season's seventh-placed side in Spain's top flight.

Popcorn and breakfast cereals, frequently derided as junk food, may contain "surprisingly large" servings of healthy antioxidants, according to chemical researchers.
Any nutritional value of snack foods was previously thought to rest on their high fibre content – a virtue regularly trumpeted by manufacturers on food packaging.
But a study presented today to the American Chemical Society (ACS) suggests the benefit of grain-based foods lies in the significant presence of antioxidants known as polyphenols.
Antioxidants are thought to protect cells from damage and mop up free radical molecules, which may lead to illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. Although the beneficial role of antioxidants has, in the past, been questioned by other medical research teams, the latest report will provide comfort for popcorn-munching couch potatoes.
"Early researchers thought the fibre was the active ingredient for these benefits in whole grains, the reason why they may reduce the risk of cancer and coronary heart disease," Dr Joe Vinson, a chemist at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, who led the study, told the ACS.
"But recently, polyphenols emerged as potentially more important. Breakfast cereals, pasta, crackers, and salty snacks constitute more than 66% of whole-grain intake in the US diet. This is the first study to examine total phenol antioxidants in breakfast cereals and snacks."
Polyphenols are one of the main reasons why fruits and vegetables, chocolate, wine, coffee and tea are thought to lower the risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
Cold whole-grain cereals have significantly more antioxidants than processed grain foods, the study found. Among the salty snacks examined by the team, popcorn contained the most antioxidants.

The etsy shop is open again, and it feels good to be packaging and shipping orders, even when I haven't finished unpacking my bags! I'm getting ready to do another giveaway on my facebook page when I reach 300 fans (very close now), so if you haven't already liked my page, now is a good time ;)
