As a kid, if I wasn't curled up with a book then I was spread out on the floor with my LEGOs, constructing spaceships and castles — recreating scenes from the stories I enjoyed. My reading and LEGO building went hand-in-hand! And like the books I read, I learned a lot from those simple plastic blocks.
With all those happy memories of building both by myself and with my LEGO loving friends, I was pretty pumped when my son Felix recently took to the toys. We've had some sets around, but up until a few months ago he showed no interest in them. His four-year-old fingers are finally adept at popping the pieces together, and he's ready for the toys intellectually as well. He's developed a love of procedures, and so following the directions in the booklets to make cars and firetrucks and the like gives him great joy. Even if he can't yet work with the tiniest of blocks, he searches for them in the pile and sets them up for me or his mom to snap in place for him.
Working with him the other day — and I take LEGO so seriously, I say "work" instead of "play!" — I started thinking about all the ways in which LEGO are awesome teaching tools. I don't mean like, "They teach dexterity," though they obviously help improve it. No, I'm talking philosophically here, folks. Those bricks, with their shiny smooth surface, have life lessons hidden deep within them.
Click on to find out what I'm talking about, and then please leave your own words of LEGO wisdom in the comments section!
Click on to learn the wisdom of the blocks… 1 of 10
There's some good lessons in there.
You need to have a plan… 2 of 10
A person doesn't just jump into something, right? If you want to build a house of LEGO or a house of stone, you need a plan. And if you want to reach a dream, you need to think about the baby steps that you take to get there. Forethought is an important quality for being successful in life.
But be open to inspiration… 3 of 10
That said, you want to avoid becoming too rigid. When things are underway, you sometimes see opportunities that you didn't think you'd have. Like, I could build a LEGO greenhouse on the back of my house! Or take a volunteer opportunity that might help me get that dream job. Often, inspiration reaches out to grab us midstream, and you have to be willing to let go of the plan and follow it.
And don't be upset if things don't come out exactly how you thought they would. 4 of 10
Alright, so that house doesn't look quite how you imagined it might, or perhaps you're not where you had hoped you would be in your life at this point. That doesn't mean you've failed! You might find ways to play with your house that you didn't anticipate, accidental pleasures. And if not, so what. Don't beat yourself up about it. Remember...
Don't fret when things fall apart. They can be rebuilt! 5 of 10
Was a beautiful LEGO truck coming together and then—crash! It fell off the table? Or did you just get frustrated that your plan wasn't taking shape the way you intended? Don't cry over past mistakes, accidental or otherwise. It's always possible to start over. In fact, it's a good feeling, being at the beginning of things again.
Complicated things are built of small, simple components. 6 of 10
Those beautiful, big LEGO castles that you see on the front of the box, or those really cool, elaborate LEGO sculptures people make, all began the same way—from a bunch of simple blocks. So too do careers, or other life goals, form—in simple baby steps. Put together over time, things seem complex. But they're easy to understand when broken down!
You must be patient… 7 of 10
Are things not clicking into place the way you'd like them to? Hang in there! Sometimes you have to take a deep breath, steady yourself and...
And persistent. 8 of 10
Keep trying! It took Felix a few attempts to get these blocks together, and yes, he did let out a cry of anger, but then he recovered and kept at it. Eventually, success! We can't build a masterpiece in a day, and sometimes you might shed a few tears in the process, but don't give up.
Remember to view things in three-dimensions, from multiple angles. 9 of 10
A lot of times when building a beautiful LEGO toy, there are stages where things just don't look right. In fact, they might look kind of awful. Like, this? This is my helicopter? But then you flip it upside down, or turn it around, and whoop, there it is! Sometimes it's like that in life. What seems like a problem from one angle is simply an opportunity from another.
Sometimes the journey is more fun than the destination. 10 of 10
It took Felix and I about an hour or so to make this airplane. He was so proud of his work! But after playing with it with for about ten minutes, he wanted to take it apart and make something new. The building can be more fun then the toy itself, just like the process can be more fun then the product. So enjoy the act of trying to reach your dreams! The struggle to achieve may be more fulfilling then the achievement itself.

BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors of Big Lots, Inc. ("Big Lots" or the "Company") (NYSE:BIG) concerning possible violations of federal securities laws. Big Lots, through its subsidiaries, operates as a broadline closeout retailer in the United States and Canada. The Company offers products under various merchandising categories such as consumables -- including food, health and beauty -- plastics, paper, pet supplies, furniture, case goods and seasonal items.
The investigation focuses on allegations that certain statements issued by Big Lots between February 2, 2012 and April 23, 2012 concerning the Company's business and financial performance were false and misleading. Specifically, the investigation relates to allegations that Big Lots misrepresented or failed to disclose that business was deteriorating in the Company's consumables line – representing one-third of the Company's business – and that the Company's margins and prospects were being adversely affected by shoppers searching for online deals for big-ticket electronic products.
On April 23, 2012, after the market closed, Big Lots issued a press release updating its first-quarter 2012 retail sales guidance, forecasting a decline in first-quarter same-store sales; moreover, the Company's consumables business declined significantly. Following this news, Big Lots stock price plummeted 24%, or $11.00 per share, to close at $34.71 per share on April 24, 2012

Duncan Campbell (Irish, born 1972)
Glasgow based artist Duncan Campbell was born in Ireland and studied Fine Art at the University of Ulster, from 1993-6, before moving to Scotland to complete a Masters at Glasgow School of Art, from 1996-8. Campbell's early work established his interest in appropriating existing imagery, such as his knitted versions of nightclub posters. More recently he has been exploring film-making, which correlates well with his interest in stories and the subversion of conventional narrative. He continues to utilise pre-existing media as the foundation for his films, juxtaposing it with sound and animation. Campbell has acknowledged that he makes editorial decisions based on aesthetic qualities and this furthers their enigmatic quality. In 2014 Campbell was nominated for the Turner Prize.

Strong belief in emulating the 1999 treble must surely be gripping Old Trafford after Manchester United's somewhat fortuitous 1-0 win at Chelsea in their Champions League quarter-final first leg, but Alex Ferguson and his troops will also be aware they are still a long way from crossing the finish line first in any competition.

The Cubs and Russell Martin
One day after signing free agent manager Joe Maddon, the Cubs are checking the list of free agent players and are reportedly looking at Russell Martin. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman said Tuesday the Cubs are going to target Martin, considered the top catcher available this offseason. Sources also told Comcast SportsNet Chicago's Patrick Mooney that the Cubs have Martin on their radar.
The Pirates extended the $15.3 million qualifying offer to Martin, but he was expected to turn that down. The Pirates want to bring Martin back, and are one of several teams interested in the catcher. The list also is believed to include the Blue Jays and Red Sox. Martin will most likely be looking for a five-year deal, especially after catchers Brian McCann, Yadier Molina and Miguel Montero each signed contracts of that length. McCann received $85 million, Molina $75 million and Montero $60 million.
Other players who received the one-year, $15.3 million qualifying offer on Monday include Max Scherzer, Victor Martinez, Melky Cabrera, Hanley Ramirez, Pablo Sandoval, Nelson Cruz, Francisco Liriano, Michael Cuddyer and Ervin Santana. The players have until Nov. 10 to make a decision.
The Cubs would not have to give up a first-round Draft pick to sign Martin because of the team's finish in the bottom 10 among Major League teams but instead it would cost a second-round pick. They also would have the amount slotted for that pick subtracted from the total amount of their Draft signing bonus pool, which governs how much a team can spend to sign picks in the top 10 rounds.
Martin's slash line last season with the Pirates was .290/.402/.430, and he hit 11 home runs and drove in 67. He did miss time early in the season because of a left hamstring injury.
The Cubs had hoped Welington Castillo could pick up where he left off in the second half of 2013 when he hit .288 but instead batted .237 in 110 games. Castillo did set career-highs in home runs (13) and RBIs (46), but also was sidelined with a rib cage injury.

Teams looking for dance partner
Cubs GM Jed Hoyer has had plenty of conversations with other teams prior to Thursday's Trade Deadline but said they may not make another deal.
"It wouldn't surprise me if we made no moves," Hoyer said Tuesday. "I expect to be active, we're having a lot of conversations. It's still early. [Wednesday] is sort of moving day. I expect things will get more serious as we move into tomorrow. People have some reluctance on the last day.
"[Wednesday] evening is when a lot of people hone in on the deals they want to make," he said.
The Cubs made their blockbuster move on July 4, trading starting pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Athletics for four players, including highly touted shortstop Addison Russell and outfielder Billy McKinney.
Other teams are still trying to find the right match.
"People try to find a dance partner on the 30th and 31st," Hoyer said. "As you get to [Wednesday] evening, people want to make deals and they're more willing to pair up, and I expect that to be the same thing."
There has been some interest in the Cubs' left-handed relievers, James Russell and Wesley Wright.

Cubs checking list of who to keep, deal
On Friday, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported on Twitter that the Cubs may hang onto Justin Ruggiano and Luis Valbuena at the Trade Deadline even though both have drawn interest and could help a contending club. On Wednesday, Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein told Chicago media that they are evaluating the current roster and trying to decide who to keep. What they want to determine is which players now will help the next generation make the transition.
"There's value to keeping players who have roles here for the sake of continuity and leadership and performance on the field," Epstein said at Wrigley Field. "We're not in any rush to make trades for the sake of making trades."

Epstein: No rush to make moves
The Trade Deadline is approaching, but Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein says he is not frantically trying to make changes to the roster.
"We're not in a rush to make moves," Epstein said Wednesday.
The Cubs made their splash on July 4 when they dealt Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the A's. Epstein said they are evaluating the current roster to determine who they'd like to keep, who can help the team going forward, and what they can do on the field with the next generation coming up.
"There's value to keeping players who have roles here for the sake of continuity and leadership and performance on the field," Epstein said. "We're not in any rush to make trades for the sake of making trades."

7/22 Cubs GM expects more calls
The Cubs have already dealt two-fifths of their rotation, and on Tuesday, designated second baseman Darwin Barney for assignment. GM Jed Hoyer expects more movement before the Trade Deadline.
"We've gotten a lot of calls on guys," Hoyer said Tuesday. "Call traffic, if you will, picks up over the next week or so. I expect we'll be on the phone a lot. Not sure if we'll make any moves but we'll be active looking to better the team."
The Cubs have gotten interest from teams in some of their relievers, including lefties James Russell and Wesley Wright and right-hander Carlos Villanueva.
They aren't afraid to make moves. One year ago on July 22, the Cubs traded Matt Garza to the Rangers for Mike Olt, Justin Grimm, Neil Ramirez, and C.J. Edwards. Olt, Grimm and Ramirez are currently on the big league roster. Edwards is a top pitching prospect.
— Carrie Muskat
Cubs not ready to pay for Price
At the All-Star Game, Tampa's David Price said Chicago "would be the coolest city to win a championship in right now." Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein and GM Jed Hoyer feel the same way, which is what enticed them to join the Cubs.
On Monday, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal wrote that the Cubs should pursue Price and deal some of the team's top prospects for the pitcher. The Cubs do need starting pitching, but they are not contenders this year, and most likely not in 2015 either. How does Hoyer feel about the rumors?
"I don't really pay attention," Hoyer said Monday in a radio interview on The Game 87.7. "There are going to be a lot of rumors about our players and our acquiring good players because of the good talent we have in the Minors. I think we'll be lumped into the rumors. We just sort of ignore them."
The Cubs got a jump on the market by dealing Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel on July 4 to the Athletics for a package of prospects, including talented shortstop Addison Russell, who hit two home runs Sunday, including a grand slam, and finished with six RBIs at Double-A Tennessee.
The Cubs do have depth at middle infield in the Minor League system. But there also are no guarantees as to how the prospects will develop, and when they'll be ready. Hoyer would not comment directly on the Price talk; it's the Cubs' policy not to discuss other teams' players.
— Carrie Muskat
Starlin Castro rumors
The Cubs have plenty of depth as far as middle infielders go, and fans often ask what the team is going to do with all of them. According to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi, other teams are inquiring as well. Morosi said the Cubs' Starlin Castro has drawn some trade interest. But Morosi says sources tell him the Cubs do not plan on moving the shortstop before the Trade Deadline. Castro is in the second year of a seven-year, $60 million contract with the Cubs. Javier Baez did move from shortstop to second base on Thursday for Triple-A Iowa, and was expected to play there a little more regularly, according to manager Marty Pevey. The Cubs also have talented infielder Arismendy Alcantara, and acquired shortstop Addison Russell in the trade with the Athletics. As of today, Castro is the starting shortstop.
"The nice thing about having impact players who are athletic and can play in the middle of the field and can hit is that you have options," Theo Epstein said when the Cubs acquired Russell. "You can never have too many shortstops. If you look around baseball, you see some of the best outfielders in the game came up as shortstops, some of the best third basemen in the game came up as shortstops, some of the best second basemen in the game came up as shortstops. Heck, some of the best first basemen in the game came up as shortstops."
— Carrie Muskat
7/8 A's wanted Cubs' Valbuena, too
According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Athletics tried to get the Cubs to include Luis Valbuena in the deal that eventually netted Oakland both Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel. The A's wanted Valbuena as a potential upgrade at second base. But Rosenthal says the Cubs are reluctant to trade him because he's controlled through 2016. Valbuena is earning $1.7 million this season.
Valbuena has a slash line of .256/.339/.420, and has hit five home runs with 22 RBIs. He's started 44 games at third, 17 at second.
— Carrie Muskat
1/16 Cubs and Tanaka
Could Masahiro Tanaka pick the Cubs? According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Cubs are "pushing hard" for the Japanese pitcher. Rosenthal also reports the Angels, Yankees and Dodgers are involved with the right-hander. The White Sox have confirmed that they met with Tanaka and his agent in Los Angeles. Tanaka, 25, was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA in 212 innings last season for the Rakuten Golden Eagles, who posted the right-hander for a $20 million fee. The bidding for Tanaka will end at 4 p.m. CT on Jan. 24.

12/11 Cubs and Samardzija
Jeff Samardzija's agent was expected to meet Wednesday with Theo Epstein, Cubs president of baseball operations, at the Winter Meetings. It's more a chance for the two to touch base. The Cubs would like to extend Samardzija, but he will be a free agent after the 2015 season and is most likely to politely reject their offer. The right-hander has been the subject of trade rumors, and if the Cubs do not deal him now, they could move Samardzija at the Trade Deadline in July.
The three-way trade between the Angels, the Diamondbacks and the White Sox may have had an impact on what the Cubs do with Samardzija. The Cubs were believed to be looking at lefty Tyler Skaggs as part of the package for the right-hander, but Skaggs was sent to the Angels.
One team that could be in the market for Samardzija is Toronto. The Blue Jays have gotten inquiries on right-handed pitchers Marcus Stroman, 22, and Aaron Sanchez, 21, and also are trying to move Colby Rasmus, 27, a left-handed hitting outfielder. Rasums batted .276 in 118 games with the Blue Jays last season, hitting 22 home runs but also striking out 135 times. Stroman was 9-5 with a 3.30 ERA at Double-A New Hampshire, striking out 129 over 111 2/3 innings, and Sanchez compiled a 3.34 ERA in 22 games at Class A Dunedin, striking out 75 over 86 1/3 innings.

A Simple Formula to Calculate the Cost of Executive Stock Options

CAFRAL, Reserve Bank of India; National University of Singapore - Department of Finance
August 9, 2010
We derive a simple formula for the cost of the ESO to the firm at the grant date under the assumption that the executive has a constant market-to-strike multiple. The market-to-strike multiple is defined as the ratio of the market price on exercise to the strike price of the ESO. The expected value of this multiple is the only input that needs to be estimated for calculating ESO cost using our formula (hence-forth, KLS formula). Using a large data set of insider trades, we find that the KLS formula has a lower prediction error relative to the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) formula. We also find that the error due to the assumption of a constant market-to-strike multiple is quite small. Further, our model generally leads to negative prediction errors whereas the BSM model generally has positive prediction errors. A composite estimate of ESO costs using the average of both methods (KLS and BSM) proves much better than either method individually.

In late July the Lummi Nation governing Council declared its "unconditional and unequivocal opposition to the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal" now being planned for Cherry Point on the Whatcom County shoreline facing Orcas Island.
On August 31 two nationally prominent Lummi leaders, Jeremiah Julius and Jewell James and several other Lummi members, will visit Eastsound to discuss this decision and plans for a totem pole journey aimed at unifying Native American tribes in opposition to the planned coal terminals.
The proposed terminal would be located just a few miles northwest of Lummi Nation lands and directly amidst the site of the ancient village and burial grounds they call Xwe'chi'eXen, which is listed in the Washington state register of historic places. Preparations for the terminal have already disturbed this site.
Fugitive coal dust from storage piles and ship loading would pollute the waters around Cherry Point, an important herring spawning grounds and rich crab fishery. High winds could also carry this dust downwind to the Lummi lands.
The Lummi and affiliated tribes originally fished throughout the San Juan Islands and surrounding Salish Sea. In fact, they had fishing villages on Madrona Point, which was returned to Lummi ownership in 1990. They are our neighbors.
After thoroughly studying the terminal proposal, Lummi leaders concluded that they could not countenance the major adverse impacts it would inflict upon their Schelangen, or "way of life," which stresses the connectedness of all things and planning for the future of the next seven generations.
Julius and James will explain the cultural, historical and philosophical bases for the Lummi opposition, grounded in the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott, which gave Puget Sound tribes clear rights to continue fishing in their "usual and accustomed grounds and stations." These rights were upheld by the US Supreme Court in 1979.
James will also discuss the Kwel hoy' ("We draw the line") totem pole he is now carving in preparation for a 1500-mile journey through tribes, towns and cities along rail lines from Wyoming's Powder River Basin to Xwe'chi'eXen.
Jeremiah ("Jay") Julius is Secretary of the Lummi Nation governing Council, a fisherman, crabber, successful businessman, and father of four. He is descended from tribesmen who have fished the waters off Xwe'chi'eXen for centuries. He was recently featured in a KCTS documentary and a related PBS News Hour piece about the proposed Northwest coal terminals. Councilman Julius will discuss the need to protect the sacred lands and waters of Xwe'chi'eXen and the San Juan Islands, the aboriginal territory of the Lummi Indians.
Jewell James is Director of the Lummi Nation's Sovereignty and Treaty Protection Office, a former Lummi Councilman and Director of the Lummi Fisheries Department, and a master carver. The subject of several acclaimed documentaries, he carved and delivered totem poles to each of the 9-11 sites to help the American Nation heal these wounds. James will talk about the vision and purpose of the Kwel hoy' totem pole he is carving.
The talks will begin at 5 pm on Saturday, August 31, in the Episcopal Parish Hall on Main Street in Eastsound, cosponsored by Friends of the San Juans and the Orcas NO COALition. Admission is free but donations to the Kwel hoy' totem pole journey will be gratefully appreciated.

Logging truck wreck shuts down traffic
A logging truck flipped on its side, shutting down traffic on the westbound lane of Route 33 in Lewis County on Tuesday morning.
The vehicle, owned by Grimes Trucking in Dailey, lost control and slid on its side for more than 300 feet, spilling its cargo all over the highway, police said.
The Lewis County branch of the West Virginia State Police and representatives from the state Division of Highways as well as the Weston and Jackson's Mill volunteer fire departments responded to the accident.
Workers were able to open one lane and allow traffic to bypass onto the old Route 33 road. Crews were expecting to work until around 5 p.m. to make sure the road was safe for motorists.
No injuries were reported. The driver of the truck, Robert Lambert from Randolph County, was charged with failure to use due care, according to State Police officials.

Thank you Ms. Carrie, this is delicious. Hope you are having a wonderful week.
Inspiration: We cook with cilantro more than any other herb. I'd say that about 90% of the time, it's our herb of choice. We do use a lot of basil, rosemary, and thyme, too, but there's just something about cilantro. It's bright, it's fresh, and it goes so well with many cuisines (including Mexican, of course, which is just about our favorite). Anything cilantro-based is usually a go in our house, and when the recipe is an Indian curry, well, that just puts it over the top. We really do love curry in just about any form.
What We Loved: The sauce in this curry was earthy and wonderful. It was characterized mainly by the flavor of cilantro, with a great kick of heat from serrano peppers and a touch of sweetness from the coconut oil and coconut milk. Like all great curry sauces, it was rich, complex…

Twitter profile pictures.
Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel came through on his first campaign promise today,
making a donation in the name of Dan Sinker, the Columbia College media
instructor who for months was the virtually unknown mind behind the fake
Twitter account MayorEmanuel.
With expletive-laced strings of satire, all 140 characters or fewer, Sinker spoofed adventures along Emanuel's campaign trail, interlacing true Emanuel events such as a visit to Google's Chicago office (which in Sinker's world ended in a Segue jousting competition) with completely fictionalized imaginings (Emanuel visiting with deceased Chicagoans while tripping on spoiled baby food he ate because he got stuck in a box while playing hide and go seek in the crawlspace of his house, where he was living because the upstairs was occupied, of course).
"I can't possibly articulate how nervous I am right now," Sinker tweeted from his own account Wednesday evening just before an interview on WLS 890AM's Roe & Roeper show. "God. Here goes nothing, right?"
The real Mayor-elect Emanuel was gracious as the two were interviewed together.
"Many times he's expressed my sentiments exactly," Emanuel said.
"f* you right in your f*ing face-hole," was the first tweet in late September, according to an online compilation of the MayorEmanuel tweets.
"When it started it was a way to make some friends of mine laugh," Sinker said Wednesday. But the day after the first tweets, MayorEmanuel had more than 1,000 followers, Sinker said.
Emanuel said he learned of the fictionalized alter-ego when people who knew him asked him about it.
Sinker would tweet on his train ride to the city from his home in Evanston, he said. Just a few friends and his wife knew.
Public school teacher Seth Lavin figured out Sinker's identity but kept it a secret.
Sinker was listed as MayorEmanuel's third follower but he denied any knowledge when asked by a Medill reporter in January if he knew who was behind it.
"I wish! Found early though, through Twitter search for possible candidates," Sinker had tweeted.
As the Feb. 22 election drew closer, media coverage of the MayorEmanuel feed intensified. In late January, Politico reporter Molly Ball tweeted to ask MayorEmanuel what the chances were for an interview.
"Somewhere right between f*ing slim and f*ing none," Sinker responded on the fake account.
The Huffington Post, New York Times and the Chicago Tribune all followed with stories of their own. And soon MayorEmanuel had more than 20,000 followers, three times as many as the real Emanuel.
In the days before the election, Emanuel offered to make a $2,500 to $5,000 donation, if the anonymous tweeter would reveal himself.
"I swear to f*ing god, I will donate $2,500 to the charity of your choice if you can come and fix this motherf*ing radio," the fake candidate tweeted from Axelrod's imagined Civic in retort.
"I always knew the story was ending with the election," Sinker said Wednesday. But when Emanuel offered the donation, the teacher immediately thought about an organization that could use the money.
On air Wednesday Emanuel presented the $5,000 check for Young Chicago Authors, a creative writing program for Chicago Public Schools students. The donation was matched by Causes.com, and hosts Roe Conn and Richard Roeper both agreed to pitch in $1,000 each.
"I want to support what he's doing for our kids," Emanuel said.
Sinker said he has not had time to let the organization know about the donation.
"As far as I know, this is a surprise to them," he said.
Asked in the meeting if there was any confusion about which of the two were the real Emanuel, Sinker said, "I think it's pretty clear who's who at this point."
Emanuel said reading the Twitter feed was an outlet for him and speculated that his infamous temper may be harder to control without it.
The mayor-elect laughed off any anxiety over the satire.
"Compared to everything else, this was easy," he said.

Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.0 Adds Support for All New Nexus Devices and Android 4.2
The developer of the Nexus Root Toolkit, WugFresh, has updated his one-size-fits-all Nexus toolkit on Monday to include all the new Nexus devices (Nexus 4, Nexus 7 3G, and the Nexus 10) and Android 4.2. If you're not familiar with this toolkit, it's a program that will run on Windows machines and helps you set up your drivers, and provides one-click methods for unlocking and rooting your Nexus devices. This toolkit now covers all of the following devices with the new devices in bold:
· Galaxy Nexus: GSM Models (both yakju and non-yakju builds)
· Galaxy Nexus: CDMA/LTE Verizon Models
· Galaxy Nexus: CDMA/LTE Sprint Models
· Nexus S: Worldwide, i9020t and i9023 Models
· Nexus S: 850MHz, i9020a Models
· Nexus S: Korea, m200 Models
· Nexus S 4G: d720 Models
· Nexus 7: Asus Tablet
· Nexus 7 3G: Asus Tablet
· Nexus 10: Samsung Tablet
· Nexus 4: LG Phone
I've unlocked and rooted my personal Nexus 7 with ADB and Fastboot, and I've used WugFresh's toolkit. There are tools or methods to get the job done (they're all ultimately doing the same thing), but this toolkit really does make it simple, especially if this is your first time and you're just getting your hands dirty with the whole rooting business. This is a simple way to go. I think the best part of the toolkit is the walkthrough for setting up the drivers for the Nexus devices. In my personal opinion, getting the ADB drivers set up is the hardest part, and WugFresh provides great step-by-step guides for the different devices and for different Windows versions. So, if you're lucky enough to have your hands on a Nexus 4 or a new Nexus 10, and you're looking for a simple way to root your device, definitely check out this toolkit by WugFresh. Or if you haven't rooted one of your older Nexus devices yet and you're thinking about it, this toolkit with take care of your. It's free, it's simple, and it gets the job done. Remember, unlocking your bootloader and rooting your device will void your warranty (although the toolkit also allows you to unroot and relock your bootloader). It also is potentially risky and could brick you're device. My advice, read and follow the directions. It is however at your own risk.
So, let us know if you're checking out the toolkit or if you've been using the toolkit and what your experiences are. Also, if the toolkit helps you out, be sure to support WugFresh or any developer for their time they put into brig us an awesome Android experience. WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit can be found here, and the changlog for v1.6.0 and its plethora of other changes can be found here. Happy rooting…

"Stay calm."
Jabu Lovelace has heard the words from one person after another. Just take it easy, let the game come to you, make your reads, finish the play -- just about every overused sports cliche in the dictionary.
After going 2-for-8 for 10 yards and picking up just 1 net rushing yard in a 20-16 victory over Pittsburgh, Lovelace might have a message of his own.
You try it. You try staying cool in the pocket when the protection breaks down and you're getting blind-sided for two fumbles. You try focusing when you're wondering when the coach is going to pull you out and put the injured starter back in.
With last week's performance against Army (23 carries for 81 yards, and two completions in eight attempts for 28 yards in a 41-6 victory) not much of a measuring stick, this was Lovelace's first chance to get some extensive playing time and show what he could do running the first-team offense. He knows he didn't succeed.
"It could've been a lot better," Lovelace said. "You've just got to recognize and improve on it and you'll be fine ... It's just growing with the plays, it's always learning new stuff."
He was thrust into the spotlight because of Mike Teel's aggravated thumb injury. Teel had to take the uncharacteristic course of action and tell coach Greg Schiano he couldn't continue with the pain adding up with every snap of the ball.
The starter stood quietly on the sideline and iced the hand at halftime. He knew he had to wait until the thumb was ready to go, he just didn't know when that would be, so he gracefully bowed out, at least until Rutgers' last drive.
"It's a matter of not letting the seniors down and sending them out the right way," Teel said. "You never want to put your team in a situation where you're not going to help them win the football game. At one point today, I thought that was the case and so did coach and that's how it went."
The alternative, however, wasn't that great. Schiano put it succinctly: "To sum it up offensively, we never really got into a flow at all."
Lovelace's shortcomings as a quarterback nearly cost Rutgers the victory, which would've put a bowl invite in doubt. Yes, it didn't help that Pedro Sosa's knee injury kept him out of the starting lineup, but the sophomore QB's indecision helped open the door for the two fumbles. The passes were strong but inaccurate, giving the receivers little chance to even haul in a circus catch.
Not to mention that it's easy to stay calm when you're cruising against Army. With a narrow lead and little room for error against the Panthers, Lovelace regressed to the jitters that plagued him in the season-opener against Buffalo.
Schiano thought Lovelace had moved past that phase in his career. He hasn't. The receivers noticed and passed along a familiar message.
"Game day is so exciting for everybody, but Jabu takes it to a whole other level," wide receiver Kenny Britt said. "Especially when he gets in, it's really just giving him a chance to get in the game and everything. He's really excited about that and he just needs to learn to calm down."
The message may be repetitive but not necessarily inaccurate. Britt remembers similar overexcitement last year when he started to get significant playing time, comparing himself to a chicken running around with its head cut off, not knowing where to go, who to block or what the formations were.
It takes time, Britt said, but that's something Rutgers may not have on its side. If Teel's thumb has a setback, it's Lovelace or bust -- unless Schiano wants to unveil third-stringer Chris Paul-Etienne. Teel wants to take reps during the week, but said it's a fine line between proper preparation and staying healthy.
Rutgers can lock up a bowl invite with a win against Louisville in its season finale. The extra-long wait until the Nov. 29 game will be crucial for Teel, giving his thumb extra time to heal. Otherwise it's Lovelace in a hostile environment on the road.
"It'll help a lot," Teel said about the extra time. "It'll help for everyone."

Very early one Monday morning, our 4-year old came into our bedroom and woke
me up.
"Mommy, I hear something," Andrew said, groggily.
He held my hand tightly as I led him back to his room, and then I helped him
climb back into bed. Suddenly, a fog horn belted out a long, ominous honk. It
was so loud, it sounded like someone was playing a tuba right outside the
"What is that?" Andrew asked, now completely awake.
Just then, another horn tooted. This one came from a further distance and had
a shrill, almost feminine sound.
"The ships are talking to each other so they don't hit each other in the
fog," I explained.
Andrew responded that their Mommies needed to tell the ships that other
people are sleeping, and they really need to keep it down.
I couldn't help thinking, if it hadn't been around 2 a.m. on a Monday
morning, this would have been the perfect moment for a late-night Mom and son
bonding session over a warming milk- or cream-based beverage at the kitchen
table. We would have given those foghorns a little competition. So, the
following misty evening we whipped up a concoction similar to the mug of Irish
coffee one can savor at The Buena Vista in San Fransisco under equally foggy
conditions. However, our version of the creamy treat was neither
caffeinated nor spiked with Irish whiskey, ingredients in the elixir
created by restaurateur Jack Koeppler and travel writer Stanton Delaplane.
Instead, we frothed a generous amount of pure vanilla extract in whole milk
sweetened with brown sugar. Chocolate flavoring came from the Ghiradelli cocoa
we had on hand — a pure coincidence with the San Fransisco connection.
Adults can add a splash of rum or whiskey. Teetotalers might consider a few
drops of mint, almond extract or a tablespoon of peanut butter.
Pamela Silvestri is Advance Food Editor. She can be reached at
(Makes 1 serving)
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 ½ to 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, preferably Ghirardelli
Cocoa powder for dusting
Candy cane or cinnamon stick to garnish, optional
Gently heat milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warm or heat in
microwave for about 1 ½ minutes. Put warm milk, vanilla, brown sugar and cocoa
powder in a blender until ingredients are combined and milk is frothy. Pour into
a mug. Dust with cocoa powder and add candy cane or cinnamon stick.

Nicole Kidman's royal role rubbished by Princess Grace's family
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- January 18, 2013
TROUBLE is brewing for Aussie actress Nicole Kidman with her upcoming portrayal of Grace Kelly being slammed by Prince Albert of Monaco as "glamourised" and "pure fiction."
In a statement, Prince Albert II and Princesses Caroline and Stephanie said the film's script did not accurately portray events involving their mother, the Hollywood actress who married Monaco's Prince Rainier III in 1956.
"It tells a story, rewritten and unnecessarily glamourised ... containing significant historical inaccuracies and a series of purely fictional scenes," the royals said in a statement.
The statement said the royal family had been granted access to the script and requested several changes, but the requests were not taken into account.
Grace of Monaco, directed by France's Olivier Dahan, will feature Kidman and British actor Tim Roth as Prince Rainier.
It focuses on a six-month period in 1962 when Monaco was in a heated tax dispute with France and Alfred Hitchcock offered Kelly a chance to return to acting.
Filming of the new movie took place between September and December in Monaco, southern France and Italy.
The film's producer, Pierre-Ange Le Pogam, said the production was meant to be a work of fiction and confirmed the royal family had been consulted.
"The palace was aware of the script and made requests for changes. We took most of their remarks into account, but not all," he said.
"The film is not intended to tell the true story of the principality."
The negative press comes as somewhat of a blow to the $30 million production, which is due to hit cinemas next year.

Shand Cycles Update.
August 10, 2012 | By Dave | No Comments
The guys at Shand were good enough to drop me a line to let me know the updates on some projects we had chatted about on my visit. The Skinnymalinky is nearing completion and is going to be launching at the Blenheim Palace Festival of Cycling next weekend (18t/19th Aug) where the guys have secured a stand. Russ describes the bike as ...It's basically our take on a modern randonneur made with fillet brazed 853. Sounds good to me! The guys are running a different colour palette on this than they did for the orange and acid 'Stooshie' and 'Stoater', but the guys have now brought painting in house so everything is hand done under one roof, so you can in fact have any colour you want! Check out their promotional video below, lovely work!

City Honors Retired SDPD Official, Professor
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
Channel 10 News -- The other honoree, University of San Diego professor Alan Gin, has been issuing his monthly Index of Leading Economic Indicators for San Diego County for 20 years. The index tracks changes in different sectors of the regional economy.
Councilwoman Lorie Zapf called Gin the "go-to guy" on economics.
"I'm pleased that the index has become accepted, that it's a useful tool for people in government, in the business community and nonprofits," Gin said. "I don't know if I'll make another 20 years, but we'll see how long I can keep this going."
Gin, on the USD faculty since 1988, has been a primary source for the local media on economic stories. He was voted "Professor of the Year" by graduate business students at USD in the 2002-03 academic year. (Full Story)

A titular see in Africa Proconsularis, suffragan of Carthage. Sicca was an ancient important town in the kingdom of Numidia, very probably of Phoenician origin, on the Bagradas, on the road from Carthage to Hippo Regius and from Musti to Cirta. It got its name from a celebrated temple of Venus. It was to Sicca, after the first Punic War, that the Carthaginians sent the Mercenaries whose discontent they feared. Included later in the proconsulate it received from Augustus the title of colony. It had moreover been colonized by the Sittians of Cirta, whence the name Colonia Cirta Nova and Colonia Julia Veneria Cirta Nova Iulia; it is sometimes even called simply Cirta. Arnobius taught rhetoric there under Diocletian. Six of its bishops are known: Castus, at the Council of Carthage, 255; Patritius in 349; Fortunatianus mentioned in 407, present in 411 at a conference of Carthage and spoken of by St. Augustine, "Retractationes" XLI; Urbanus in 418, mentioned in 429 by St. Augustine, "Epist." ccxxix; Paul towards 480; Candidus in 646. The town commanding the principal natural roads leading from Algeria to Tunis preserved a great strategic importance till the French occupation; the Arabs called it Shikka Benar, or Shak Banaria, but it is better known as Le Kef (rock). It is the chief town of a civil "controle" in Tunis, contains 6000 inhabitants, and is connected with Tunis by a railroad. Its only interesting monuments are two mosques and the fortress. Among the Roman ruins are baths, cisterns, the remains of a temple (of Augustus ?); some of the inscriptions discovered are Christian ; the most curious ruins are however those of the Basilica Kasr el-Ghoul, 107.25 feet by 52 feet ending in an apse ; the flooring was in mosaics ; the baptistery of Dar el-Djir; a monastery below Ain Hadjima; and especially the Basilica of St. Peter of Dar el-Kous, of which the narthex is at present used as a church: it measures 139.75 feet by 54.75, the naves are roofless, but the apse is intact
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Mission 2-Light Pendant w/Stained Fir Spreader Bar, c1910 Item # R0200
There is something about the simple honesty and bold presence of this sturdy Mission fixture, built around a darkly stained solid wood spreader bar that evokes the best qualities of Arts & Crafts lighting. Warm, natural, and intuitively constructed, even a child (playing with their Froebel Blocks) can see its classic functionality and appeal. We can't say for certain what wood species the spreader bar is, but it looks like Douglas fir. The rich patina and wood finish are all original, as are the lanterns with their caramel art glass.

What it comes down to is that I WANT to believe Allison Janney can do no wrong.
But I just think she's way hotter than being a walking lane marker.
[Photo: Fame/Flynet]
Allison is so so so much better than this dress.
She looks…okay. But the dress does nothing for her figure, nor for her coloring.
on the plus side, what I can see of her earrings I really REALLY like!
She stopped by a Charming Charlie store on the way this event and told the staff to find her a maxi dress and they gave her this and now we are sad.
The +1 is for the Charming Charlie reference!
This photo makes it looks weirdly like her head has been photoshopped on her body. I think because there is a shadow over her face or something.
IMO, this does not look Emmy's to me. This looks like the maxi dress you bought at Target and you wear to be comfy, regardless of whether or not you look line a walking lane marker.
She is elevating that dress way above its pay grade by the sheer force of her own awesomeness, but it's still not a great dress. Someone as awesome as her should have an equally awesome dress, obviously.
I love her, I really do, and I'm so glad she won last night. However, as others have said above, this dress is not worthy of La Janney. She could have done a simple column, but she looks fantastic in color. She also NABB.
Yeah, whatever. Look. The important question is what about "I Wanna Marry Harry". When are you giving us the finale recap??? This is a burning issue, people.
This probably could be very simply dramatic and great on her, but it isn't a very good fit, especially around the chest. That's ruining the intended effect, I think.
Im much more interested in the black and white number behind her.
Yes! I suspect that ikat number is good, it even seems to have a pop of color.
This brings to mind the cartoon Pepe-le-pew, where the lady cat gets a line of white paint along herself. She is considerably more fabulous than this, and I hope she didn't spend the evening fending off a skunk.
Surprisingly matronly for such a low neck line. Cheap looking fabric- and the cut does nothing for her figure. She deserves so much better!
My first thought was that this is a really cheap knock-off of the dress Julia Roberts wore to accept her "Erin Brockovich" Oscar.
Exactly what I was going to say.
But less successful.
The design elements are so similar to Julia Robert's Oscar dress the year she won. And that dress was way better than this one.
This woman is a tall drink of water, as in a classy highball glass with fresh ice, a spring of mint and a tiny umbrella. This dress is an extra waxy, crinkled up Dixie cup.
This was designed by Project Runway alum Bert Keeter. In the words of the immortal genius Tim Gunn, Bert did not make this work for Allison. WHAT HAPPENED TO ANDRAE?
Ah, man, I loved Bert and it's awesome that he got to make a dress for such a terrific actress on a winning night. However, the dress itself is distinctly underwhelming.
Do the PTB's at the event not realize how much all that shade is ruining these looks?
Some dresses are not cut right for some people, and this is one of those cases. Allison Janney is normally perfection in heels, but this dress doesn't do her enough favors to be worth wearing.
To me this dress needs someone pretty flat chested. If she had opted to give the girls a big hoist it would look tacky. Instead it just looks depressing.
This event is confusing – is one to dress for day or for evening? We have extreme examples of both.
Looks to me like La Janney tried to walk that fine line – a full length, monochrome, unembellished number seems the perfect answer. So good for her!
Too bad about the fit.
I just wouldn't have chosen white for right next to her skin. Unless one is very uniformly tan, I think it just blurs the lines.
My Aunt June wore this exact dress to my cousin's wedding back in 1972.
Looks like the $59 Target knock-off of Julia Roberts' Oscar dress of 2001.
This is so unflattering. You can do better, Ms. Janney.

Crown Food Distributors of North Bergen has recalled 25-ounce large round plastic containers of "Golden Natural Fruit Island" because they contain sulfites and FD&C yellow #6 that are not listed on the label, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.
Golden Natural Fruit Island is distributed to retail stores in northern New Jersey and New York, the DFA said. The sell-by date on the container is Nov. 19, 2014.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products, FDA officials said.
The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York state Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory personnel revealed the presence of sulfites and undeclared FD&C yellow #6.
FDA officials say the consumption of 10 milligrams of sulfites per serving has been reported to elicit severe reactions in some asthmatics. Anaphylactic shock could occur in certain sulfite sensitive individuals upon ingesting 10 milligrams or more of sulfites.
No illnesses or allergic reactions involving this product have been reported to date. Consumers who have purchased the 25-ounce package of "Golden Natural Fruit Island" are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact Crown Food Distributors Inc. at (201) 758-8363.

One night stay booking with laterooms
Staff were excellent, rooms were clean, breakfast was good.
Room was past the need to be refurbished and I would be embarrassed to have a guest stay here. Example was the bathroom tiles put up using staples, rusty fittings and corroded mirror. TV was also very poor. Yes we only paid £59.99 with laterooms but you would expect the same quality rooms that a full paying guest had that had booked in advance. Also we were not able to eat in for a evening meal. I feel we were treated as second class and would not want to book with laterooms or stay in this hotel again
I will finish to say the staff were more than helpful, friendly and kind.

Release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into the extracellular space occurs in response to a multiplicity of physiological and pathological stimuli in virtually all cells and tissues. A role for extracellular ATP has been identified in processes as different as neurotransmission, endocrine and exocrine secretion, smooth muscle contraction, bone metabolism, cell proliferation, immunity and inflammation. However, ATP measurement in the extracellular space has proved a daunting task until recently. To tackle this challenge, some years ago, we designed and engineered a novel luciferase probe targeted to and expressed on the outer aspect of the plasma membrane. This novel probe was constructed by appending to firefly luciferase the N-terminal leader sequence and the C-terminal glycophosphatidylinositol anchor of the folate receptor. This chimeric protein, named plasma membrane luciferase, is targeted and localized to the outer side of the plasma membrane. With this probe, we have generated stably transfected HEK293 cell clones that act as an in vitro and in vivo sensor of the extracellular ATP concentration in several disease conditions, such as experimentally induced tumours and inflammation.
