+        <h4>Evolution of Renderscript Performance</h4>
+      <p>It’s been a year since the last blog post on Renderscript, and with the release
+      of Android 4.2, it’s a good time to talk about the performance work that we’ve done
+      since then. One of the major goals of this past year was to improve the performance
+      of common image-processing operations with Renderscript.</p> </a>
