i just popped the 'z' key off of my spare X300 keyboard. you're missing two tabs on the base of the center plastic part. what happened to them, i don't know. something like that shouldn't shear off under normal conditions.
as others have said above, service should cover you on this.

After one week waiting for answer for my letter i decided to phone Polish Lenovo Tech Support. I'll let you know about results. Actually number is busy all the time

I bought an X300 in September. Next day I'm typing and the letter D pops up, didn't even have time to install anything! I'm thinking I'm the most unlucky person, but now I read I'm not alone, and that makes me feel even worse, because now I expect it to happen more than once during my computer's life, and that makes me even madder than I already am. Something so expensive shouldn't break while normal use, plus when it happens, and especially to more than one customer, they should at least repair without charge, and not treat their customers like we are liars. I've had my T30 fro 7 years now, and it's slow and full now, but it's still working and I never had a problem with it. IBM used to make good stuff, but now I'm never telling anybody to buy laptop's from them anymore. Their tech support is so bad. When they don't transfer you into a blackhole after a half-hour waiting on the line, they give you false information, and not once, not twice but actually 3 times in my case. It's a long story (6weeks in the making). After bringing my laptop to a warranty service provider after tech told me it would be repaired under warranty, I get a call saying its 300$, not covered cuz its "physical damage". I call back and the guy says if I ship it directly to Lenovo they'll take care of it. But they didn't! and after I refused to pay the 300, they ship it back to me, still missing a key... I eventually speak to a manager the 3rd time, after a month has passed and apparently he's going to approve of a DOA case so that my whole machine will be replaced, because it broke before 21 days......Still a lie. When I actually called the sales department, they told me this would not be approved, because DOA is only for when the machine won't start when you receive it. Is it just me, or only incompetent people work for Lenovo? So nobody knew that even their own depot would deem as "physical damage" and not cover it, and then the tech manager didn't know that when he promised all my troubles were over, he was actually wrong?
I eventually complained so much somebody from customer relations called me and finally explained that I could never get a repair under warranty for my keyboard, because nobody could prove it wasn't my fault. The women on the phone basically very politely called me a liar, telling me it was pretty impossible for a key to break loose for no reason, just by typing on it, and the "experts" that looked at it (twice now) had decided it wasn't a manufacturing defect. It's like she never heard it happened before. I hope enough people post here with this problem that the company realizes just how bad their product is and recall it or something. So strange too that my laptop also seems to be missing a little piece of plastic, just like somebody else! Could it be maybe that switching to plastic from metal was not a good idea? Maybe we're not ready for "lightweight" computers...I wanted to return it althogether, but of course that's impossible, because it's broken by my fault now (of course)! I am a student and so this was a very expensive thing to buy for me, so when that women told me there was nothing she could do for me, I got very emotional on the phone and my voice was cracking up. I think she had pity on me and after all that, she is sending me a new keyboard, free of charge, but I have to pay to install, like 100$. I'm so glad I decided to pay an extra 100$ for extended warranty...two years of nothing instead of one! And now because other customers had the same trouble, all within a few months, I know it's not the last 100$ I spend on my X300, and next time it'll be 300$ at least.
I don't get why a company so big doesn't understand that bad press is going to cost them a lot more than 300$. This is not the only place my message is going up..in both languages I speak too..
mod note: merged into existing thread. please do not double-post as it splinters the discussion. thank you for understanding.
Well I don't know where Erik gets his information but if you read my story on another thread, you'll discover that keys popping off are not covered in Canada either, and since it is the same Tech center as the Us, i would be very surprised that living in the US makes such a big difference. No matter how you word it, when they see the key and can't put it back they consider it was caused by the consumer's cat walking on it or something, and they don't believe that just typing caused it to come off, maybe because all previous models were built better. My T30 never lost any keys and I've been typing on it daily for 7 years (and even my cat walked on it!). They don't even want to send you a free one (consumer replaceable unit) that you install at your own expenses because what they call "physical damage" is not covered by warranty, period. So I asked, what would be covered for a keyboard, because almost anything could be said to be "customer's fault", and I couldn't get a straight answer. Basically I was told that if the "experts" at the repair shop look at it and decide it's not a manufacturing defect, it's the customer's fault. And if they looked at mine (2 days old) and didn't see the little piece of missing plastic under the key as a defect, then nothing will be!
I'm sorry to be the bearer of such bad news. Just insist until they at least send you a free keyboard, and then pay to install it, you'll at least save the amount of the new keyboard. And now you can tell them you're not alone. 3 people on this board alone have complained about keys popping while typing. We're not all liars, and we're not all crazy!

my experience comes from owning one of the first X300s released to the retail market, two X300 keyboards (US and japanese layouts), and 13+ years of dealing with both IBM and lenovo customer service. over this time i've had two keyboards replaced under warranty without issue. each time a keyboard was sent directly to me without many questions and i returned the defective keyboards promptly.
i'm sorry you're having problems with customer service. i suggest you call and speak with another technician.
ThinkStation P700 ThinkPad P40 · 600
Well, I've talked to 5 different people at customer service and sales, and all gave me false informations or told me they couldn't do anything for me until I actually cried on the phone and then they agreed to send me a free keyboard, but just after letting me know twice during the phone conversation that this was not supposed to be and that they were doing me a big favor here. So if that's not bad customer service, what is? None of the people I talked to proposed that solution of the free keyboard I install myself, even after it had been to their depot and back 2 times and I spoke with 2 different managers and a person from customer relations.
Good for you if you've been lucky with them, and maybe when you had problems with your previous thinkpads the customer service was better.
Yes, I will try to install it myself, but you know what, when I ask that guidelines to install it myself be sent to me with the new keyboard just like it says in the warranty booklet, the women on the phone told me she couldn't do that and that I shouldn't try it myselft because it might be too complicated. She never said anything about the movie, I had to find it myself.
Whatever your experience, I'm reading posts all over the internet about pieces breaking and lenovo not wanting to do anything about that, not only keyboards, and I'm just really afraid now that this is not the last problem I'm gonna have.
Thank you steaming for your post. It seems we have the same problem. The difference is I was unable to speak to Polish Lenovo Tech Support second time. Simply line is busy all the time. Nobody answered my email. I'll try next time on Monday.
Great pics. I used to pop the keys on and off of my Sony PCs to clean out the various pieces of my lunch that got stuck in there. I don't think your keyboard is broken - all four of the plastic tabs that grab the key cover look good. I will bet you just need to very carefully place the key over the hole and push it down until it clicks back into place. The only time I could not get the key back on is when I lost the key cover. I hope you get it fixed - these PCs are too expensive to be broken. Fact is, they're too expensive ... period. The Lenovo drivers and utilities are not worth $0.03, much less $3,000.
Funny, though, I really like the keyboard. My problem is that the touchpad scrolling does not work reliably with a lot of apps.

Oct 26 (Reuters) - U.S. electric companies from Maine to Florida were bracing for heavy wind, rain and flooding that could take down power lines and threaten to close some East Coast nuclear plants early next week when Hurricane Sandy comes ashore. There are more than a dozen nuclear plants near Hurricane Sandy's path in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut, providing power to millions of customers in the region. See factbox Hurricane Sandy is currently passing over the Bahamas as a Category 1 hurricane with winds of about 80 miles per hour (128 kph) but has the potential to cause severe flooding from Virginia to Maine. Sandy is expected to remain a Category 1 hurricane as it marches north past the Outer Banks in North Carolina early Monday before hitting the Delmarva Peninsula early Tuesday, according to the latest forecast from the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC). Other weather forecasters said Sandy could hit anywhere from North Carolina to Nova Scotia in Canada, potentially knocking out power for millions in some of the biggest metropolitan areas in the United States, including New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Boston and Virginia Beach. Power companies from Maine to Florida have already started urging customers to prepare for possible power outages, as they mobilize crews and equipment to fix any damage that may occur. The last big storm to hit the U.S. East Coast was Hurricane Irene in 2011, which made landfall in the Outer Banks in North Carolina as a Category 1 storm. Irene caused billions in property damage as it ran up the coast from Carolinas to Maine. Irene left more than seven million homes and businesses without power - some for a week or more in the hardest hit areas - and forced numerous power plants, including at least two nuclear reactors at Oyster Creek in New Jersey and Calvert Cliffs in Maryland - to shut. A spokesman at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) said the agency was monitoring Sandy's track very closely. ``We're keeping a close eye on the coastal plants. All plants have procedures to deal with hurricanes, which include procedures to shut the reactors if winds are expected to reach a certain speed,'' NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan told Reuters. For example, Public Service Enterprise Group Inc (PSEG) must shut the three reactors at the Salem/Hope Creek plant in New Jersey two hours before hurricane force winds of over 74 miles per hour are expected to reach the site, Sheehan said.
COASTAL REACTORS The coastal reactors include Dominion Resources Inc's Surry in Virginia, Constellation Nuclear Energy Group's Calvert Cliffs in Maryland, PSEG's Salem and Hope Creek in New Jersey, Exelon Corp's Oyster Creek in New Jersey and Dominion's Millstone in Connecticut. Constellation Nuclear is owned by units of Exelon and French power company EDF Group. A few of those reactors however were already shut for refueling outages, including Millstone 2 in Connecticut and Oyster Creek and Salem 2 in New Jersey. In addition to plans to deal with high winds, Sheehan said all of the reactors also have plans to deal with flooding. After the earthquake and tsunami damaged the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan last year, the NRC made sure the reactors' would be able to shut safely if floodwaters reached certain heights. The biggest utilities in the path of the storm include units of Duke Energy Corp, Exelon, FirstEnergy Corp, National Grid Plc, Consolidated Edison Inc, Northeast Utilities, Dominion, PSEG, PPL Corp, Pepco Holdings Inc and Iberdrola SA.

"Suffragette" has received an awards-friendly US release date of October 23.
Starring Carey Mulligan with Helena Bonham Carter, Meryl Streep, and Anne-Marie Duff in supporting roles, the drama focuses on the early-twentieth-century battle to win the vote for British women. It will be released on September 11 in the UK.
Mulligan will play Maud, a working wife and mother who decides to join a feminist group galvanized into taking greater and greater risks in the face of aggressive police reaction to the fight for women's rights. Directed by Sarah Gavron and written by Emmy winner Abi Morgan, the film will be distributed by Focus Features in North America.
Peter Schlessel, CEO of Focus Features, said, "'Suffragette' is a story that will resonate with men and women across the generations; it is about parents and children, courage and dedication, and making hard choices. Sarah, Abi, [and producers] Alison [Owen] and Faye [Ward] are women who represent an amazing convergence of filmmaking talent."

I was debating on what to write about tonight–either the update on Nobel Prize winner Peter Diamond's failed nomination to the Federal Reserve Board (with his very public withdrawal as shared via the New York Times), or Minnesota governor (and Republican presidential candidate) Tim Pawlenty's speech on his "economic plan" (text of speech here via the Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire blog). I decided I could do both in one post, because both Peter Diamond (in his NYTimes column) and Tim Pawlenty (in his economic policy speech) talk about how they would approach improving the role and quality of government in our lives.
By the way, the Diamond nomination appeared doomed back in October of last year when Diamond had just won the Nobel Prize–as I wrote about at the time, here. The updated story on the "why" (from Diamond's new column) isn't really any different from the story last October.
As Diamond explains:
Last October, I won the Nobel Prize in economics for my work on unemployment and the labor market. But I am unqualified to serve on the board of the Federal Reserve — at least according to the Republican senators who have blocked my nomination. How can this be?
The easy answer is to point to shortcomings in our confirmation process and to partisan polarization in Washington. The more troubling answer, though, points to a fundamental misunderstanding: a failure to recognize that analysis of unemployment is crucial to conducting monetary policy…
[U]nderstanding the labor market — and the process by which workers and jobs come together and separate — is critical to devising an effective monetary policy. The financial crisis has led to continuing high unemployment. The Fed has to properly assess the nature of that unemployment to be able to lower it as much as possible while avoiding inflation. If much of the unemployment is related to the business cycle — caused by a lack of adequate demand — the Fed can act to reduce it without touching off inflation. If instead the unemployment is primarily structural — caused by mismatches between the skills that companies need and the skills that workers have — aggressive Fed action to reduce it could be misguided.
In my Nobel acceptance speech in December, I discussed in detail the patterns of hiring in the American economy, and concluded that structural unemployment and issues of mismatch were not important in the slow recovery we have been experiencing, and thus not a reason to stop an accommodative monetary policy — a policy of keeping short-term interest rates exceptionally low and buying Treasury securities to keep long-term rates down. Analysis of the labor market is in fact central to monetary policy.
And what could a Nobel laureate economist bring to the question: what makes for better government? Towards the end of his column, Diamond suggests this:
To the public, the Washington debate is often about more versus less — in both spending and regulation. There is too little public awareness of the real consequences of some of these decisions. In reality, we need more spending on some programs and less spending on others, and we need more good regulations and fewer bad ones.
Analytical expertise is needed to accomplish this, to make government more effective and efficient. Skilled analytical thinking should not be drowned out by mistaken, ideologically driven views that more is always better or less is always better. I had hoped to bring some of my own expertise and experience to the Fed. Now I hope someone else can.
Enter Tim Pawlenty and his speech today, where he laid out his plan, summarized by: "Let's grow the economy by 5%" (per year). His primary means of getting us there: revenue-losing-that-will-grow-the-economy-so-much-that-they'll-become-revenue-gaining tax cuts. I'll have much more to say about his tax reform plan later (and probably right up through the election). But besides cutting taxes, Pawlenty would cut spending–by what sounds like a lot. How would he figure out what to cut? He explains:
There's some obvious targets. We can start by applying what I call "The Google Test."
If you can find a good or service on the Internet. Then the federal government probably doesn't need to be doing it.
So there's Pawlenty's answer (and the "connection" in this blog post). He's basically saying: Who needs a Nobel laureate economist waxing philosophically and analytically on the spending we need more of versus the spending we need less of, when we could just "Google it."
If it's not already obvious from my tone, I don't like the "Google Test." There are many things that the private sector cannot be expected to do well on its own, especially when an important "public good" is to provide a "safety net" for people who cannot fend for themselves. Or whenever any market participant faced with their own self-interest (to maximize their own individual utility or profit) would fail to account for the social costs or social benefits of his or her actions/decisions. The free market can only "optimize" based on market values; market forces (the "invisible hand") can't lead us to allocations that maximize social welfare where market prices don't correlate well with social values.
I'll be doing a Minnesota public radio interview on the Pawlenty speech tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, and if there's anything to share afterward, I will post it.
**UPDATE (12:30 Wednesday): Here's a link to the audio of my MN public radio interview, which focused mainly on the tax policy part of the Pawlenty plan. More on this in future post(s).

Pioneers drop third straight game; Immaculata splits in regular season finale
This was not how coach Joe Allison wanted to finish the regular season.
On Thursday, his Leavenworth baseball team dropped its third straight game, this time a 5-1 loss to Olathe North.
"We are still not getting enough hits," the LV coach said. "We are playing good defense and the pitching has been there, but we can't seem to hit consistently."
The Pioneers got two hits in the opening frame from Judson Cole and Michael Baillergeon, enabling the squad to scratch out its opening score versus North. However, from that point on, the offense disappeared.
Failing to pad its advantage, the Eagles put together a five-run fourth inning that effectively closed out the contest.
"We got the first out, they got a walk next and then strung together some hits," Allison said. "They just hit the ball where we weren't."
Leavenworth, 7-12, will try to shake its losing streak as it completes its regular season slate today with a matchup at Lansing.
First pitch is set for 1 p.m.
Raiders finish regular season
With its split at Riverside Wednesday, the Immaculata baseball team wrapped up its regular season with a winning record.
Following a 7-6 win and then a 4-3 lost, the Raiders finished with an 8-5 over record.
The team will now throw its entire concentration into regional prep. Imac holds the No. 3 seed and will begin the postseason by hosting McLouth (1-15) Monday at 5 p.m.

Linear Models in Statistics, 2nd Edition
Linear Models in Statistics, 2nd Edition
ISBN: 978-0-471-75498-5 January 2008 688 Pages
In Stock
DescriptionThe essential introduction to the theory and application of linear models—now in a valuable new edition
Since most advanced statistical tools are generalizations of the linear model, it is neces-sary to first master the linear model in order to move forward to more advanced concepts. The linear model remains the main tool of the applied statistician and is central to the training of any statistician regardless of whether the focus is applied or theoretical. This completely revised and updated new edition successfully develops the basic theory of linear models for regression, analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, and linear mixed models. Recent advances in the methodology related to linear mixed models, generalized linear models, and the Bayesian linear model are also addressed.
Linear Models in Statistics, Second Edition includes full coverage of advanced topics, such as mixed and generalized linear models, Bayesian linear models, two-way models with empty cells, geometry of least squares, vector-matrix calculus, simultaneous inference, and logistic and nonlinear regression. Algebraic, geometrical, frequentist, and Bayesian approaches to both the inference of linear models and the analysis of variance are also illustrated. Through the expansion of relevant material and the inclusion of the latest technological developments in the field, this book provides readers with the theoretical foundation to correctly interpret computer software output as well as effectively use, customize, and understand linear models.
This modern Second Edition features:
New chapters on Bayesian linear models as well as random and mixed linear models
Expanded discussion of two-way models with empty cells
Additional sections on the geometry of least squares
Updated coverage of simultaneous inference
The book is complemented with easy-to-read proofs, real data sets, and an extensive bibliography. A thorough review of the requisite matrix algebra has been addedfor transitional purposes, and numerous theoretical and applied problems have been incorporated with selected answers provided at the end of the book. A related Web site includes additional data sets and SAS® code for all numerical examples.
Linear Model in Statistics, Second Edition is a must-have book for courses in statistics, biostatistics, and mathematics at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also an invaluable reference for researchers who need to gain a better understanding of regression and analysis of variance.

Friend: McBride slurring during phone call
DETROIT (AP) — Davonta Bynes expected 19-year-old Renisha McBride to stop by his west side Detroit home late Nov. 1, 2013, for a small get-together.
The two traded text messages and a phone call, but as the hours passed it became clear to Bynes that he wouldn't see her that night.
"I think ... she might have been drinking. She was slurring" her speech, he testified Monday during the trial of Theodore Wafer, the man charged with shooting McBride to death outside his Dearborn Heights home.
About 1 a.m. on Nov. 2, a drunken McBride crashed her car into a parked car in Detroit, about a half-mile from Wafer's home and less than 2 miles from Bynes' home. It's not known why she appeared 3 ½ hours later at Wafer's front door, but Wafer, 55, has said he shot McBride in self-defense.
Prosecutors have said there was no reason to use deadly force instead of calling police. They charged Wafer with second-degree murder.
On Monday, prosecutors called a number of police experts to testify on evidence from her phone, the crash and the shooting.
No calls were answered on McBride's cellphone after she crashed her car, testified Sam Brue, a special agent with the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives who analyzed calls and texts to and from the phone.
McBride's father had been trying to reach her that night and appeared frustrated in a text message that she hadn't returned his calls, Brue said.
Brue found that a call was made from McBride's phone to her father shortly before 10 p.m. on Nov. 1. The call lasted 4 minutes and 44 seconds.
After the crash, calls to her phone went to voicemail, Brue said.
Defense attorney Cheryl Carpenter told jurors last week that Wafer was awakened by pounding at a door and believed two or more people were outside.
As the pounding continued, Wafer loaded his shotgun, opened the front door and fired, hitting McBride in the face, Carpenter said.
An autopsy found McBride's blood-alcohol level was about 0.22, nearly three times Michigan's legal limit for driving.
Other witnesses called to the stand Monday by prosecutors included crime lab officers and a state police forensic scientist.
Testimony will continue Tuesday.

If, like me, you purchase half and half for your coffee frequently in Grand Boulevard or Miramar or Santa Rosa Beach, you may be aware of how much the cost of this product escalates. I know this can�t be true, but it seems that every time I buy half and half, the price has gone up by twenty cents or so.
When we think of retirement, and planning for it, we are foolish not to consider the specter of inflation. Constantly rising prices on repeatedly purchased goods is only the half of it, no pun intended.
The flip side of the equation, of course, is that we must make our money grow at least as fast as inflation rises, and hopefully faster, so that we�re simultaneously keeping pace with rising prices and growing our portfolio. Health care premiums, home and car insurance rates, college tuition levels: these expenses never seem to decline. And regardless of the cost of food and fuel and utilities, these are staple items that we must purchase, regardless of the rising price tag.
While we�re still in our working years, we can at least enjoy the prospect of increased income through wage increases. And we can fight inflation with a larger income. After retirement, our income is frequently fixed so keeping pace with inflation becomes much more challenging.
As we all know, CD�s are paying virtually nothing. And treasury securities, while a safe investment, are also low yielding and not likely to provide the return we need. So we�re forced to utilize the equity markets to make any kind of headway.
In our opinion, the best defense against inflation for a person with a significant portfolio is generating income through one�s investments. Getting paid from one�s portfolio is a virtual mantra at our firm, and we rarely purchase securities that do not pay a dividend.
For those in retirement, these dividends and coupon payments serve as a �replicated paycheck,� money streaming into one�s checking account monthly. Meanwhile, we endeavor to continue growing the principal in the accounts. But whether the market rises, slumps or moves sideways, if you are invested in dividend-payers, you still enjoy periodic, systematic income.
Dividend-paying equities act much like bond coupon payments, except that they may provide better opportunities for growth along with their payout. We favor American companies with broad, global appeal, which have historically increased their dividend payouts to shareholders. So when the cost of half and half goes up, your increased dividend helps you pay for it. We believe dividend-paying stocks will be even more important in the years ahead, as millions of baby boomers retire and many with a nest egg less than what they hoped to have.
A recent Wall Street Journal article by Lauren Weber entitled �Americans Rip Up Retirement Plans� addresses this issue. �Nearly two-thirds of Americans between the ages of 45 and 60 say they plan to delay retirement,� says Weber, quoting an upcoming report from the Conference Board. Just two years ago, only 42 percent of those interviewed planned to delay retirement. �The increase (in the number of people putting off retirement) was driven by the financial losses, layoffs and income stagnation sustained during the last few years of recession and recovery, said Gad Levanon, director of macroeconomic research at the organization and a co-author of the report��
The American work force, along with the population, is aging.
�The labor force has been getting older for decades for reasons that range from longer life spans and better health to companies� replacement of defined benefit pensions with higher-risk 401(k) plans,� says Weber. And according to the survey, a larger percentage of our aging labor force is going to keep working. Weber suggests that despite recent upticks in the economy, many older Americans �now find that leaving the work force on their original timeline is no longer viable��
Levanon counters that many folks will still retire when they thought they would. �Research shows that intentions don�t necessarily align with reality, and people often end up retiring as they had expected because of health reasons, job losses or simply a miscalculation of their own desires,� says Weber.

As established, we're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama storylines and sturm und drang and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alpha dog? It's this source of expression and personal comedy/tragedy that makes the game so compelling. There's nowhere to hide out there.
No site captures this feel more than the great Free Darko, which we read like a doctor's chart every day during the NBA season. They understand the dichotomy between individual achievement and collective glory, and how those are not mutually exclusive. And they've got a way with letters too.
Therefore, we've asked them to look at the arcs of certain players going into this season, what 2006-07 means to them, their teams and their legacies. They'll be previewing a player a day, up to tipoff next Tuesday.
Today: Kobe Bryant. Your author is Bethlehem Shoals. His words are after the jump.
Eighty-one points, the most ungodly run of scoring proficiency since MJ, a late-season belief in the team concept, a classic tussle with the heavily-favored Suns in which he hit new highs and lows of basketball character — unless you've been living beneath the wrong sky, you know all about that. Bean Thousand may never live up to the impossibly high standard he's taught us to hold him to; while he has so much poise it's uncomfortable, his judgment and ego are still Achilles-like ironies. But there's no way that, especially during that seminal Round 1, a sane man could watch Kobe and not suspect he was watching absolute offensive perfection. Anyone who says otherwise has no one but their own arrogance to blame.
Remember when debating Iverson was pretty much synonymous with talking NBA? I do, and I know now that not many people bother with it anymore. Yes, Iverson has reined in his game a tiny bit over the years, which mostly means he mans the one and lets an assist fly now and then. What really happened, though, is that the Association's landscape morphed, new stars shone, and all of a sudden Iverson just wasn't as important. Although AI remains a polarizing figure, now the world can accept that one loves him or hates him, and that what fuels these fires is emotional, personal, and in no way a matter of universal law. Last season began with the usual senseless smears and paeans, but by the end, more and more people had no problem admitting that Kobe was not the Antichrist. Their lives would no longer be tarnished for it.
So suppose the trial, Shaq, the smirk, the rock and Nutella are now soggy embers. Kobe may be finally getting a chance to merely be a transcendent basketball player, rather than the Next Jordan or public enemies Nos. 1-5. Heading into this season, 24's dealing with less burden than ever, and thus needs to get down to business and author that second act. What we all want to know is whether Kobe can (as weird as this sounds) harness his mastery of the game instead of getting pretentious about it. Whether we can see him execute the triangle with that efficiency that makes Phil's beard drip. And to feel that, demons or no demons, Kobe Bryant can step on a basketball court and comport himself like an honest grown-up.
Kobe Bryant just needs to play ball. Of course, that's impossible. If you caught his "Inside the NBA" guest spot, you have some sense of how cerebral the man is. It's only in the last quarter that he slips into anything like a groove or a trance, and even there it's more like a demonic lockstep of the will. He's a constant strategizing, psychologizer and trickster, not unlike the Zen Master over on the bench. You'd like to think, though, that Kobe could once and for all make this a part of his game, rather than making it a distraction from getting things done.
The addition of Vlad and Farmar certainly haven't made the Lakers worse, Odom will build on his triumphant last couple of months, and Kwame, Bynum, Smush and Turiaf aren't the kind of young players who pose more of a problem as they age. Ultimately, though, improvements around Kobe won't mean shit unless he gives them some round. This doesn't mean fewer shots, less fanfare or a more balanced attack. Really, it's about Kobe letting basketball just be basketball, since a lot of the world finally seems ready to let him do that. He needs to recognize that's he got that freedom.
If he can't? Then eff it, the rest of y'all have been right all along.

Danny Way: SPoT ''20'' Year Experience - Episode 11
Posted by Schaefer, Wednesday, January 23, 2013 6:59 PM
In 1994 Danny Way broke his neck and was afraid he would never return to skateboarding. In 1996, less than two years after his injury, he attended Tampa Pro for his first appearance back in the skate scene. His intention was to become acquainted with skateboarding. However, he did more than just that by winning Vert and placing 2nd in Street. He notes, "Tampa was the catalyst" that gave him the assurance that his skate career wasn't over and got him out "from a place of such darkness." Enjoy the episode, which explains Danny's determination and ability that allows him to conquer anything that stands in his way.
Skatepark of Tampa is celebrating 20 years of skateboarding. Countless memories have been created over the past two decades, and to help relive those experiences we asked 20 pros, ams, and industry leaders to share their SPoT stories with us.
Check out the Intro Episode to explain the 20 year Experience. Check out all the "20" Year Experience videos here.

Most Wanted/Flynet; Cliff/ Malia Sobel/Splash News online
Nicole Richie's Madison Marcus tunic was a big hit with People.com readers — and apparently with Halle Berry too! The Oscar winner stepped out for a grocery shopping in her chic black silk dress over Memorial Day weekend, while the petite Simple Life star wore hers to a salon appointment last month. We usually don't think of Nicole and Halle having similar style, but this easy tunic looks terrific on both of them! Tell us: Who do you think wears the dress better? Nicole Richie or Halle Berry?


text: My daughter was born at 36 weeks. She is now 2 months old. At the hospital, they told me I had flat nipples, which they are until they are stimulated then my nipple does come out. I have been using the nipple shield since day one. I would realllly like some input/help. Even though I'm greatful the shield has allowed me to breastfeed my baby, I'm just so over using it. Some say the shield prevents cracked/sore nipples, it has been the opposite for me. They are soo sore, I can't even touch them with the towel when drying after a shower. I want soo bad to be able to nurse without it. What doesnt make sense to me though is that if I pump, or after my daughter is done feeding, my nipples come out pretty far, about as far as the shield is. Im SURE she can eat without the shield, she just WONT! She has fed without the shield, but only once. I was soo happy. I try to use the shield for a few minutes, then take it off. She gets frustrated and starts to cry. Earlier, she absolutely would not take my breast, even with the shield so I had to pump and feed her. I just get so discouraged sometimes I want to cry. I love giving my baby the nutrients and I love the bonding with her but sometimes i just want to give up. I wish it could be easier. Maybe as she gets older and bigger she will be able to wean herself off? Any stories, suggestions, etc would help!! Ive gone through so much with breastfeeding so far, I just want it to get a little easier on me. I want to BF as long as i possibly can and I dont want to give up :/

Kitchen Cure Update: New Pot Lid Rack and Better Storage
How is this week's Cure assignment going? Have you reevaluated your kitchen tools and utensils, and decluttered? Are you Curing your equipment and storage? Send us photos of your before shots, and your after shots too, if you have them! We're looking forward to sharing updates from you in the big Cure Check-In tomorrow.
For now, I'll show you my own work on Curing the kitchen. I show you mine, and you show us yours — deal?
Like I said earlier, I am fairly new to this kitchen. I feel like I've been living in a state of limbo, with cluttered drawers and poorly placed storage. I just hadn't stepped back and looked at it fresh. Well, this Cure is exactly what I needed! I'm halfway through reorganizing my cupboards, and it's utterly cathartic.
Last night I went a little crazy, cleaning my cupboards and moving things around. (Nothing like late night kitchen reorganization!)
You can see my before and after progress in the slideshow above. Now the pots all sit inside my lazy Susan, and they fit perfectly! I especially don't like to stack enameled cast iron, so I was glad those two pieces could sit by themselves. I did stack up the frying pans, sauté pans, and a couple of pots. I am hoping to create visual parking spots for where each pot goes, so we always put them back in the right places. It's like a pot and pan garage!
The lids for the larger pieces, like the Dutch ovens and my giant All-Clad sauté pan, sit on the pan itself. It's great to keep these heavy lids with their pots. Also, in a nice twist, the lazy Susan seems to turn much better now with all that weight on it. I think it actually holds it into place and keeps it from banging when opened.
I had a plan for the smaller lids, but it wasn't a good use of space. I was going to put them in this top drawer, under the stove, with the lid organizer screwed into the drawer itself and the lids laying horizontally. But they were going to be a little loose still, and it seemed a poor use of the space. My husband suggested hanging it on the wall, and it turned out to fit perfectly in a little corner of the kitchen. I didn't really want extra things cluttering up the walls, but this works surprisingly well.
This IKEA pot lid rack is a great deal, too. It only cost $3!
• RATIONELL VARIERA Pot Lid Rack, $2.99 at IKEA
My plastic food-keeper boxes moved under the stove in a big shallow drawer. This is much more accessible, and easier to keep things organized. I went through (ruthlessly!) and tossed any pieces that didn't have corresponding lids or bottoms. So much better now!
I also moved my mixing bowls from a hard-to-reach (for me anyway) cupboard over the stove to the now-empty drawer underneath the stove.
It was so refreshing to clean out those drawers and to put freshly organized kitchen gear into neat, well-wiped storage spaces. It makes cooking feel even more appealing.
Coming up tomorrow: That crazy tool drawer, decluttering my utensil jars, and neatening the countertops.
That is my Kitchen Cure update! Now, where is your Kitchen Cure update? Get into those shelves and drawers; it's so completely satisfying to clean it all out.
• Send us photos of your Kitchen Cure this week

Dressel's Yankee notes:1. Goodbye Randy Johnson and Jaret Wright. You both suck and we don't want you.
Quote from: Dressel Rebel on January 5, 2007, 10:34 PMDressel's Yankee notes:1. Goodbye Randy Johnson and Jaret Wright. You both suck and we don't want you. I was especially impressed with Dressel's comment here. While I wasn't on JD when the Yanks picked up Johnson- I distinctly recall tons of typical Yankees fans bragging about how bad-ass their team was gonna be 'because we got Johnson now..'. Yet another owner big spending event resulting in failure, classic. Justifiable entertainment for me !DS
Like last year I think the person really getting the shaft is Jack Morris, he's one of the most dominant pitchers of the 80's and won 3 rings, yeah his stats aren't there but he'd be on everyone's short list if you ahd one game to win and had to hand the ball to someone
The real question with him is if Bonds gets in...then what?
How about Palmerio? How about Sosa? Sure they MAY have cheated but we have no proof and they are some of the best players of the 90's.

For the most part I have tried to give some sort of review of each part of my gear in some form or another on this site. Usually its an initial impression, then follow up posts with the gear in use, etc. They certainly aren't formal reviews like the Radiopopper one I did (that one is more than just a review though) but there are reviews out there that I could probably piece together and get more in this thread if you want K1W1.

Blogger offers army deal: Release information, and I'll go to prison willingly
Eishton, the blogger who was recently interrogated and asked to give up sources, is offering authorities an interesting deal: if the army releases all the information that it says is "out in the open" on soldier deaths – Eishton will confess to all charges brought in his interrogation, and will agree to sit in prison. The interrogation of the anonymous blogger was conducted due to a series of posts he published, examining who exactly are the 126 soldiers who "died while protecting their country" between April 2011-2012, as officially pronounced on Memorial Day.

text: I was going through the older episodes of Skeptoid, one of my favorite podcasts, when I listened to one on Numbers Stations. These are mysterious shortwave radio transmissions that usually consist of an automated voice reading off sequences of apparently random numbers. The most rational explanation for these stations is that they are secret government communications to spies or saboteurs using something called a one-time pad, something else I hadn't heard much about before.
