Twenty years ago, Isiah's Pistons beat up Jordan, broke him and pushed him to something of a dark place. Worn down by falling short, he took out his frustrations on his teammates, his coaches, other teams, everybody. When he finally prevailed in 1991, he maintained that Eff You edge for another two seasons, felt it slipping away, fled for Double-A baseball, felt it coming back, got embarrassed in the Orlando series, rededicated himself that summer, then Eff You'd everyone for another three titles. I know it's early, but LeBron looks to me like he's in full-fledged, unequivocal Eff You Mode. Can he harness it like Jordan did? This will be either the best thing that happened to LeBron's career … or the worst. With no in-between. I cannot wait to see LeBron James in person this season.

"I just read your article. I owned a VW in England in 2004-5, which recommended oil change every 20,000 miles, or two years! (I had a hard time with that, and checked with the dealer at 10,000, but he confirmed that 20,000 was just fine.) In 2005 I moved to the U.S., where my wife had just bought a new VW, with a recommended oil change every 5,000 miles. I asked someone in the service department about the difference, who said something about synthetic oil in Europe. But he looked a bit uncomfortable about it. I couldn’t help wondering whether a 5,000-mile interval was really necessary. Brian"

The charger runs from about $700 to $1,200. Being much more than a power cord, the charger takes the alternating current from your house or elsewhere on the grid and converts it to DC for charging the batteries. It also protects the batteries from overheating, overcharging, or charging too fast. Some chargers may also allow you to monitor or control charging wirelessly or over the Internet. Should power be interrupted, it will also safely restart charging so you don't find your car's battery still dead in the morning. The other portion of the cost of putting a charger in your home is installing an outlet to run it. Level 2 chargers, which can recharge a pure electric vehicle overnight, require a dedicated 240-volt circuit with a capacity of at least 30 amps. Installing such a circuit requires a licensed electrician. But the cost of the circuit varies wildly. Some homes may already have a 240-volt, 30-amp circuit to run a clothes dryer or an electric oven. And some of these may have a...

"And, what do the flight attendants do in order to help passengers who encounter broken cabin items? They provide a roll of masking tape. In my case, however, with the broken TV, the copilot had to raid the aircraft’s security kit for something stronger – a roll of duct tape – in order to hold the TV screens in place. Makes me wonder … if that many things are broken inside N780UA, what about the engines and all the mechanical stuff that keeps the aircraft aloft for long flights over oceans? Scary thought. A fellow passenger on United 903 told me he had flown to Germany on a Lufthansa flight and found it to be a night and day different experience from United. Lufthansa, he said, was clean, new and everything worked. He added that the Lufthansa plane was also quiet, referring to loud rattles and cracking noises on the United flight."

"Five properties here in Los Altos were scheduled for foreclosure auctions in a recent issue of The Los Altos Town Crier, the weekly newspaper where local legal notices are posted. Four have unpaid mortgage debt of more than $1 million, with the highest amount $2.8 million. Not so long ago, said Chris Redden, the paper’s advertising services director, “it was a surprise if we had one foreclosure a month.”"

Here are the five stages of Facebook grief: 1. Confusion. What's it for? How do I use it? Why would anyone want to post here? Who's seeing this? 2. Discovery. Hey, my high school friends are here. Reading my News Feed actually makes me feel more connected to people. This is actually pretty fun. I look forward to checking Facebook every day. I love this. 3. Utility. Facebook helps me stay connected to former colleagues, which could help me find a job in the future. I learn things about my own kids that is valuable to me that I wouldn't otherwise hear. It's easier to communicate with everyone on Facebook than e-mail, phone calls or any other means. I need this. 4. Embarrassment. Whoa! I did NOT want my co-workers to see the picture of me someone else tagged. Too much personal information in that post! Whoops! I did not mean to offend someone -- I forgot who would be listening. 5. Withdrawal. To avoid problems, I'm going to have to assume that everything I say is public, not private like...

"When it came out that Brad Pitt was divorcing Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie, EVERY woman in the world wanted to hate Pitt. Yet, he handled his business and didn't talk about the reasons. Shortly after, women weren't holding a grudge and couldn't even remember not loving him (absolutely amazing!). Why? Because he didn't call an hour-long live TV spectacular to dump Jen for a hotter woman. After tonight no one will ever forget to hate LeBron."

It's a whole new world. One where a Canadian mom can post videos of her son, Justin Bieber, singing and turn him into a teen idol. One where the cell-phone video of a 26-year-old woman, Neda Agha-Soltan, shot dead at an Iranian protest can become the face of an uprising. YouTube: Hit viral videos can bring people from obscurity to superstardom. More Photos It's a world where a politician finds that loose lips ... make viral clips. (When Republican Sen. George Allen was caught on camera making an alleged racial slur, his 2006 reelection campaign never recovered.) Twelve-year-old Greyson Michael Chance is the latest to find fame. His rendition of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" from a middle school concert has jumped from 40,000 hits to over a million overnight.

Unhealthy habits are one factor in disease, but so are social status, income, family dynamics, education and genetics. Patient noncompliance with medical recommendations undoubtedly contributes to poor health, but it is as much a function of poor communication, medication costs and side effects, cultural barriers and inadequate resources as it is of willful disregard of a doctor’s advice.
