Possible details of Google Nexus tablet emerge

2 hrs.

Google I/O, the search engine giant's annual developer conference kicks off on June 27. As usual, things will start with a keynote, which may include some product announcements. One blog claims that it already knows which gadget?Google will show off?? a tablet dubbed "Nexus 7."

Gizmodo Australia's Luke Hopewell writes that?the blog's staff has "viewed a training document detailing exactly what?s going to be in the new tablet and how much it?s going to cost."?

According to Hopewell, the tablet will be a 7-inch device built by Asus ??which fits with earlier reports???and contain a 1.3Ghz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, GeForce 12-core GPU and 1GB of RAM.?The tablet will be come in 8GB and 16 GB versions, Hopewell explains. Its screen will supposedly be an IPS?display "with a 178-degree viewing angle, running a resolution of 1280 by 800." (This again matches a prior report by DigiTimes.)

Additionally, there will supposedly be NFC, Google Wallet, and Android Beam technology built into the device along with a 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera. The battery inside the Nexus 7 will offer 9 hours of operating time.

Hopewell writes that the?8GB version of the tablet will cost $199 and that the 16GB version will cost $249.?(Previous reports suggested that prices would range between $149 and $249, for reference.)

While leaks, rumors, and vaguely sourced reports should always be taken with a large dash of salt, there's been a lot of consistency regarding this particular device. We wouldn't be surprised if we saw it in a couple of days, at the Google I/O keynote in San Francisco, from where we'll be reporting live.

Does Paraguay risk pariah status with president's ouster?

Ousted president Fernando Lugo denounced his removal as a 'parliamentary coup,' and hinted that domestic and international pressure could reverse his impeachment.

By Peter Orsi,?Associated Press / June 24, 2012

Paraguay's new President Federico Franco gives a thumbs up as he arrives to give a news conference at the presidential palace in Asuncion, Paraguay, Saturday. Paraguay's newly sworn in president is promising to honor foreign commitments and reach out to Latin American leaders after the Senate removed President Fernando Lugo from office in a rapid impeachment trial on Friday.

Fernando Lugo emerged early Sunday to denounce his ouster as Paraguay's president as a "parliamentary coup" and a "foreordained sentence" that was not based on proper evidence.

Lugo said his truncated presidency was targeted because he tried to help the South American nation's poor majority. Asked whether he had any hope of retaking office, Lugo exhorted his followers to remain peaceful but suggested that popular national and international clamor could lead Paraguayan lawmakers to reverse his impeachment.

"In politics, anything is possible," Lugo said.

He added that he was visited by Roman Catholic bishops before Friday's Senate trial for alleged poor performance of duties, and agreed to accept the outcome of a process he considered illegitimate only to avoid bloodshed.

Lugo spoke in a pre-dawn special televised "open microphone" program hosted by a state-funded public television channel that was created by his government. As Saturday turned into Sunday, a long line of speakers queued up in front of the station's headquarters to vent their frustration over what they called an institutional coup, calling for strikes and protests to demand his return.

"We will not recognize any other president," chanted the crowd of at least 200 people, waving Paraguayan flags and bundled up against the Southern Hemisphere winter.

The nighttime protest broke the quiet of an otherwise sleepy day when many shops were closed and streets were largely empty. Some alleged that the public station was being censored by the nascent government of Federico Franco, who took the oath of office the previous day.

Earlier Saturday, Mr. Franco set about forming his new government as he promised to honor foreign commitments, respect private property, and reach out to Latin American leaders to minimize diplomatic fallout and keep his country from becoming a regional pariah.

In a brief appearance before international journalists, Franco tried to broadcast a sense of normality a day after lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to kick Lugo out of office.

"The country is calm. I was elected [as vice president] in 2008 by popular vote. Activity is normal and there is no protest," Franco said.

His first two appointments were Interior Minister Carmelo Caballero, who will be tasked with maintaining public order in this poor, landlocked South American nation, and Foreign Minister Jose Felix Fernandez, who will immediately hit the road to try to appease fellow members of the Mercosur and Unasur regional trade blocs.

"Our foreign minister will go to Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay to meet with authorities and explain to them that there was no break with democracy here. The transition of power through political trial is established in the national constitution," Franco said.

Hastings Followed Dramatic Finish with Tears of Joy and Hugs for Olympic Teammates

BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brooks athlete Amy Hastings sprinted to the win in the 10,000m at the USA Olympic Track and Field Trials today, earning herself a spot on the 2012 USA Olympic Team. Hastings pushed the pace for the second half of the race, kicking past her competitors and across the finish line with an official time of 31:58.36.

?We couldn?t be happier for Amy, she deserved this win. Watching her during the last 100 meters had our entire section on their feet?

Following a hard fought U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials performance in January, where she earned an alternate spot on the marathon team, Hastings shifted her focus to the track with one goal in mind?to make Team USA.

?My experience in Houston made me a stronger runner and gave me new confidence that I carried with me into today?s race,? said Hastings. ?It has always been a dream of mine to represent Team USA in London. It is an amazing feeling to know all the hard work paid off, and to come out with the win is icing on the cake.?

Hastings is the first Olympic Trials Champion from the Brooks team in more than 25 years. She will join fellow Brooks athletes, Desiree Davila and Manuel Huerta, in a quest for gold this summer in London. Davila solidified her spot on the U.S. Olympic Marathon Team in January with a speedy second-place finish at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston. Huerta punched his ticket to the games last month by finishing ninth at the ITU World Triathlon.

?We couldn?t be happier for Amy, she deserved this win. Watching her during the last 100 meters had our entire section on their feet,? said Jesse Williams, Brooks sports marketing manager. ?We can?t wait to cheer on Amy, Desi, Manny, and all of the athletes in London this summer.?

Accomplishing the victory in the 10,000m is only the first stop for Hastings in Eugene. Later this week, she will compete for a spot on the Olympic 5K team.

Udall: New Mexico Tech receives money for energy research

Senator Tom Udall announced yesterday that the Petroleum Recovery Research Center at New Mexico Tech will receive almost $700,000 to continue developing a method to treat produced water? water that comes up from the ground during oil and gas drilling. This water has a high concentration of salt and contaminants that is unsafe to drink and expensive to dispose of safely.

?

?Oil and gas production is a major part of New Mexico?s economy and we are always looking for ways to reduce the environmental impacts, especially with respect to our limited water resources,? said Udall. ?I am glad New Mexico Tech is working to solve this environmental challenge by using our abundant solar energy resources.?

?

New Mexico Tech is one of nine research programs that focuses on extending the life of mature oil and natural gas fields, while trying to reduce the environmental footprint and risks. The funding came from federal royalties from offshore oil production, as set forth in the 2005 Energy Policy Act.
