FYI: The Nexus 4 rocks 42 Mbps

LG Nexus 4

There's been some banter in our Nexus 4 forums regarding data on the Nexus 4. For those who were still wondering, the new LG Nexus 4 rocks HSPA+ at 42 Mbps. So if you're in a T-Mobile coverage area that supports those speeds, you should get those speeds. Google's got it listed in its press site specs, though the specs on the Play Store page only list 21 Mbps. (TmoNews says it's confirmed 42 Mbps as well.)

As a recap, here's what we're looking at for network specs:

  • Unlocked GSM/UMTS/HSPA+
  • GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
  • 3G (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)
  • HSPA+ 42 Mbps

Scott Forstall, senior vice president of iOS Software at Apple Inc., demonstrates turn-by-turn navigation in iOS6 using Siri on June 11 during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2012 in San Francisco.

Forstall was one?of the original architects of the Mac operating system and head of its smartphone software. He gave a demo of Siri's voice recognition software at a special Apple event last year and most recently?headed up?Apple's recent maps disaster, which prompted a public apology from CEO Tim Cook. Forstall will leave Apple next year but will?continue to serve as an adviser to Cook in the interim, the company announced on Monday.

Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet software and services,?will take on responsibility for Siri and Maps, placing all of online services in one group. Those two products, formerly overseen by Forstall, have received mixed reviews and customer complaints in recent months.?

?We are in one of the most prolific periods of innovation and new products in Apple?s history,? said Cook in a press release. ?The amazing products that we?ve introduced in September and October, iPhone 5, iOS 6, iPad mini, iPad, iMac, MacBook Pro, iPod touch, iPod nano and many of our applications, could only have been created at Apple and are the direct result of our relentless focus on tightly integrating world-class hardware, software and services.??

Despite Apple's recent iPad mini reveal, the company?reported quarterly earnings that missed Wall Street's?forecasts on Thursday and an outlook that fell shy of estimates.

Forstall's departure was among?executive management changes?announced by Apple.?John Browett, Apple's senior vice president of retail,?is also leaving after just?six months on the job.

Information from Reuters and the Associated Press was included in this report.

Man in Afghan uniform kills 2 British troops

(AP) ? A man wearing an Afghan police uniform shot and killed two British soldiers at a checkpoint in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, international military officials said.

The assault appeared to the be the latest in a string of insider attacks that have threatened the partnership between international troops and the Afghan forces they are trying to train to take over responsibility for the country's security.

A statement from the NATO military coalition said only that the assailant was wearing a police uniform, leaving open the possibility that the attacker was a militant posing as a policeman. The statement did not provide details on the shooting, saying it was being investigated.

The British Ministry of Defense said the attack happened at a checkpoint in Helmand Province's Nahri Sarraj district.

"The loss of these soldiers is a huge blow," Maj. Laurence Roche, a spokesman for British troops in Helmand, said in a statement.

The two killed soldiers were with the 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles, he said.

At least 53 international troops have been killed in attacks by Afghan soldiers or police this year, and a number of other assaults are still under investigation, the international alliance has said.

The surge in insider attacks is throwing doubt on the capability of the Afghan security forces to take over from international troops ahead of a planned handover to the Afghans in 2014. It has further undermined public support for the 11-year war in NATO countries.

The attacks have not been limited to members of the NATO-led international coalition. More than 50 Afghan members of the government's security forces also have died this in attacks by their own colleagues.

Illinois Asbestos Mesothelioma Attorneys | Chicago, Berwyn ...

Mesothelioma of the left lower lung. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos, which is a naturally-occurring mineral that is used to make insulation.? If you or someone you love has been exposed to asbestos, you may have rights to recover compensation through a personal injury claim against any company that knowing exposed the public or its employees to asbestos.??? Oftentimes, asbestos-related mesothelioma claims are filed as class actions due to the fact that there are so many similarly situated plaintiffs.

Asbestos-related mesothelioma lawsuits make up one of the longest, most expensive mass torts in U.S. history, with more than 730,000 claimants and 8,400 defendants as of 2002, according to RAND Corporation. The following highlights the current trends and statistics regarding asbestos-related lawsuits:

  • Limitations on existing trust funds and new bankruptcy filings have caused plaintiffs to target smaller peripheral defendants.
  • Mesothelioma is at an all time high and asbestos-related lung cancer cases are beginning to reach the courts.
  • According to NERA Economic Consulting, there was a 75 percent in-
    crease in average dollars per resolved claims from 2010 to 2011.
  • The rates of dismissed lawsuits and resolved claims decreased in 2011, which is likely due to tort reforms and increased scrutiny on lawsuits involving non-malignant medical conditions.

Asbestos litigation is toxic tort, which is a type of personal injury case that can be filed against a defendant who allegedly knowingly exposed the public or its employees to asbestos.?? Generally, asbestos-related lawsuits require the plaintiff to prove that his or her medical problems were caused by the negligence of the defendant.

In order to have standing to pursue an asbestos-related lawsuit, a plaintiff must have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, such as mesothelioma or asbestosis, which is a chronic noncancerous lung disease.

Mesothelioma lawsuits, and other toxic tort claims, are often brought as class action lawsuits since there are hundreds or even thousands of people exposed to the same hazard. By filing a class action lawsuit, similarly situated plaintiffs can minimize the expenses associated with bringing a personal injury lawsuit. If the representative class of plaintiffs is successful in its class action lawsuit, all plaintiffs may be entitled to compensatory damages (such as medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages), as well as punitive damages (which are meant to punish the defendant for its wrongdoing).

If you have a potential class action lawsuit, the Chicago class action attorneys at?Ankin Law Office?can help you begin the process.?Contact the Chicago product liability lawyers at Ankin Law Offices, LLC at (800) 442-6546 to learn more about a possible asbestos-related mesothelioma class action lawsuit.

4 Tips to Build a Winning Team | Robin Sharma's Blog

The Transcript of 4 Tips to Build a Winning Team

Hi, it?s Robin Sharma, the author of ?The Leader Who Had No Title.? I would like to welcome you to this issue of Robin Sharma TV. Well this issue is all about four tips to build a winning team. I mean I?m here in Stockholm, Sweden. I?ve just had the pleasure of spending three and a half hours with almost 700 people, talking about Lead without title and Stockholm is a
gorgeous city that I finished the presentation and I went for a great ride and got to know the city even more, smelled the smells, got lost a little bit and really just savoured the moment on this tour. The tour started off in Dublin then went to Macedonia over to Stockholm, Paris tomorrow, then down to Mauritius.

But let me get right to the point. At the session after the event I had dinner with some of the executives, or lunch rather with some of the executives who had showed up at the Lead without a title presentation and one of the questions I got was how do you build a winning team? How do you
motivate your team? How do I get teammates who are inspired to wow they?re customers, to be great teammates, to do great work, to help me build a great company that does our part to change the world. Four specific tactics were my reply.

Number one. LBE; Lead By Example. So a lot of CEOs come to me and say, ?Robin I?d like to have more engaged employees.? Well the real question is how engaged are you? A lot of CEOs come up to me or managing directors saying, ?Robin I wish I had employees or teammates who work like Picasso painted.? And I look at them and I feel like saying ?well do you work like
Picasso painted?? Lot of CEOs come up to me and say, ?Robin you know I wish my teammates were more passionate about the work they do.? And I feel like saying ?well how passionate are you??

And so this force point is really this. Few things are as powerful as leading by example. If you want innovative employees, if you want excellent employees, if you want ethical employees, if you want passionate employees, if you want employees who win, then you be the change you want to see in your employees to sort of paraphrase what Gandhi said. So the first point is really, the game-changer is, lead by example. I mean you model the behaviour and the performance that you want your employees or the rest of the team to live and the more you do that, the more you will do whatever a leader without a title does, which is influence people.

Number two. The second thing I said to this executive if you want to have a winning team do what one of our clients, Ritz Carlton does every morning. Before the door is opened up for the hotel, they have a huddle and there are a few things they do. In that huddle, they talk about one of the Ritz Carlton values. They just talk about one of the core values. You know maybe it?s customer wow and they talk about what it looks like, what it means and that simply just reinforces that key value in the minds of the team first thing in the morning. Second thing they do, they come up with a customer service story. You know one employee at Ritz Carlton doing something that made a huge difference in the life of a guest. Then another thing they do is they celebrate birthdays, something human. So the second tactic for building a winning team, a morning huddle. Do it from maybe 9:00 to 9:15 everyday. Pick a value you want to coach your team on. Pick a story that you want to inspire them on and then celebrate your team because as we know the team that celebrates together is the team that wins together.

Third tactic; coaching. Well we could spend a whole session here on Robin Sharma TV talking about coaching, but really your job as a leader is to grow more leaders. Your job as a leader is to inspire your team to do work they never thought they could do. Your job as a leader is to leave a trail of leaders behind you.

So the third tactic, the third tactic to building a winning team is find some time everyday, even if it?s 3 minutes, to coach someone on your team. And don?t say ?you did something wrong?, say ?I have an opportunity for you to get to your next level of wow.? Build a coaching organization where literally part of the culture is you developing talent, coaching talent. I
mean here?s what the latest researches say. The number one thing your talent wants is to be coached, to be developed, to do challenging work. It?s not money. They want to do work that matters and it?s your job to coach them everyday, to develop them, and help them get to the highest point of their own abilities.

Then the fourth tactic that I want to share with you to build a winning team is to have fun. I remember having dinner with a billionaire. He built a fantastic technology company. I said what was the single most important thing you did to build a world class organization, and a winning team and he said, ?Robin, the company that celebrates together is the company that stays together.? And he called it shared human moments. We?re in a world right now with all the technology that?s out there, where your teammates are craving community. They?re craving human connections.

So find some time to have pizza lunches together or find some time to go to a restaurant together. Find some time to maybe go for a run together, and don?t talk about business. Have fun together. Have fun with your team. Laugh as a team. Get to know them as human beings. Get to know their family. Get to know their hopes and their dreams. The more you can connect with human beings at a very deep human level, the more they?re going to come back to the office and they?re going to like you, and they?re going to trust you, and they?re going to listen to you. They?re going to buy into your version because they truly care.

Those are four specific tactics to help you build a winning team because as you know so well, if you don?t understand people, you don?t understand business and the bigger your dream, the more important your team. So take the time to develop a great team.

If you want more tactics on high performance team building or peak performance or leadership or productivity or if you just want to get more inspired, go on over right now to robinsharma.com. You can grab a copy of my 120 page e-book. It?s helped people from around the world, get some game-changing results as my gift to you for free. I will see you again in the next issue of Robin Sharma TV. Thank you for watching. All the best to you. Bye bye.

PFT: Peyton better than ever? |? Saints' D stinks

Indianapolis Colts v Tennessee TitansGetty Images

The Colts kept veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne for many reasons, primarily to give rookie quarterback Andrew Luck a reliable target.

But Wayne added extra value Sunday, by giving his young teammates a talking-to at halftime of their 19-13 overtime win over the Titans.

Down 10-3 at the half, Wayne had seen enough.

?Sometimes you have to do more than lead by example,? Wayne said, via Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star.

?I was [upset],? Wayne said. ?There was no false enthusiasm on this one. I was [upset] because I knew what we were capable of. We should have had a lead at halftime and we were behind.

?I felt like we needed a little fire. I had to speak up.?

It must have helped, because the Colts won their first road game since December 2010, by locking down the Titans and cutting out the mistakes that plagued them in the first half.

?Reggie told us to look at everybody and see if we wanted to fight for each other,? center Samson Satele said. ?It just fired everybody up. I was looking around and thinking, ?I don?t want to leave here with a loss.?

?Not after that speech Reggie just gave.?

Wayne and the Colts are in an interesting spot. While they were generally considered on the upswing, they?re sitting at 4-3 at the moment, level with the other wild card-level teams. They?re two games behind the Texans for the division lead, and no one thinks they?re catching up.

But no one thought they?d still be in playoff contention, either.

Maybe no one but Wayne, anyway.
