Review: The new Nexus 7 is the best 7-inch tablet that money can buy | TechHive

Review: The new Nexus 7 is the best 7-inch tablet that money can buy | TechHive

http://www.techhive.com/article/2045357/review-the-new-nexus-7-is-the-best-7-inch-tablet-that-money-can-buy.html#tk.nl_advis

If you're in the market for an Android tablet, the new Nexus 7 is the one to get. And if you're got the old one lying around, considering trading it in for this one.

"The original Nexus 7 was merely a bargain, a good-enough tablet at a great price. The new Nexus 7 is a downright steal. It’s the best 7-inch tablet, period. Google has redefined budget tablet so that it no longer refers to cheap-feeling, sub-$200 devices. You can now grab a svelte, premium 7-inch tablet with a high-resolution screen, wireless charging, quad-core processor, and 2GB of RAM for a measly $229.

The revamped Nexus 7 is more than just the next stock Android gadget offering from Google. It’s the company’s re-do of what it should have done right the first time. The search (and maps, and mail, and…) giant, with its ginormous, seemingly all-inclusive Android ecosystem, has finally entered the premium tablet market." ... http://www.techhive.com/article/2045357/review-the-new-nexus-7-is-the-best-7-inch-tablet-that-money-can-buy.html#tk.nl_advis

Remembering those who served in The Forgotten War - baltimoresun.com: "By Kevin Dayhoff, 9:32 a.m. EDT, August 5, 2013

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0804-20130804,0,6922260.story

Saturday, July 27, was the 60th anniversary for what is known as National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day.

Never heard of it? You are not alone.

It was 60 years ago that, according to my 1970 edition of "A Concise History of The United States Marine Corps 1775-1969," "Finally, after two years of frustrating and often fruitless meetings with the Communist negotiators, an armistice was signed at Panmunjom, and the fighting (in Korea) ended on 27 July 1953 …""


Unlike armed conflicts of the past, there was really nothing conclusive about the end of the active hostilities.

There has never been a peace treaty. Technically, the Korean War never ended. To this day, the U.S. still maintains 28,500 troops in South Korea in an effort to maintain an uneasy peace.
Growing up in Carroll County in the 1950s, I recall very little mention of the Korean War. At the time, Carroll, like much of the country, was trying to get accustomed to a new post-World War II economy. Residents were busy with new houses, jobs and the task of raising young families that followed the six years of World War II.

Many historians refer to the Korean conflict as "The Forgotten War." I tend to refer to it as "The Inconvenient War." History has unceremoniously relegated it to a footnote wedged in between World War II and Vietnam.

Committee to determine criteria for Carroll County education fund - baltimoresun.com

Committee to determine criteria for Carroll County education fund - baltimoresun.com:

'via Blog this'


The Board of Carroll County Commissioners decided Thursday to establish a 10-person committee to recommend criteria for the newly established Education Opportunity Fund.

The committee is expected to begin meeting within the next couple of weeks, according to Commissioners President Doug Howard.

In May, the commissioners approved their fiscal year 2014 operating budget, which included a controversial $400,000 allocation to create an Education Opportunity Fund for non-public school students.

The Board of Carroll County Commissioners voted unanimously Thursday to allow the Sheriff's Office to move some of its administrative offices into the old jail building on North Court Street in Westminster.

Commissioner Robin Frazier abstained from the vote after missing parts of the discussion.

Sheriff Ken Tregoning requested that the Sheriff's Office use the jail building, which was built in 1837, for offices in response to the Circuit Court adding an additional judge.
