Lisa Nicole Lopes (May 27, 1971 – April 25, 2002), better known by her stage name, Left Eye, was an American rapper, dancer, and singer-songwriter. She is best known as a member of the R&B/hip-hop group TLC. Lopes contributed her self-written raps to many of TLC's hit singles, including "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg", "What About Your Friends", "Hat 2 da Back", "No Scrubs", "Waterfalls", "Girl Talk". Lopes won five Grammy Awards for her work with TLC.[3]
On April 25, 2002, Lopes was killed in a car crash in La Ceiba, Honduras. She was the driver of the vehicle when she rolled off the road and was thrown out; she died from her injuries. The last days of her life were filmed from March 30, 2002 until her death on April 25, 2002, including the accident which took her life; later the footage was made into a documentary called The Last Days of Left Eye which aired on VH1's rock docks in 2007.
TLC started off as a female trio called 2nd Nature. The group was renamed TLC — derived from the first initials of its then three members — Tionne, Lisa and Crystal. Things did not work out with Crystal Jones, and TLC's manager Perri "Pebbles" Reid brought in Damian Dame backup dancer Rozonda Thomas as a third member of the group. To keep the "initial" theme of the band's name, Rozonda needed a name starting with C, and so became Chilli--a name chosen by Lisa Lopes. Band mate Tionne Watkins became T-Boz which waas derived from the first letter of her first name Tionne and Boz which is slang for boss meaning 'Tionne is the Boss', while Lopes was renamed Left Eye after a compliment from a guy who said he was very attracted to her because of her left eye. Lopes emphasized her nickname by wearing a pair of glasses with the left lens covered with a condom, in keeping with the group's promotion of safe sex, wearing a black stripe under her left eye and, eventually getting her left eyebrow pierced.[4]–ref>Pareles, Jon (2002-04-27). "Michael Bivins Bio". Thug Radio.net. Retrieved 2008-07-24.</ref>
The group arrived on the scene in 1992 with the album Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip. With four singles, it sold six million copies worldwide and TLC became a household name. 1994 saw the release of CrazySexyCool, which sold over fifteen million copies worldwide and cemented TLC as one of the biggest female groups of all time. TLC's third album, FanMail, was released in 1999 and sold over ten million copies worldwide. Its title was a tribute to TLC's loyal fans and the sleeve contained the names of hundreds of them as a "thank you" to supporters.[5]
During the recording of FanMail, a public conflict began amongst the members of the group. Lopes sent a message to Vibe magazine saying, "I've graduated from this era. I cannot stand 100 percent behind this TLC project and the music that is supposed to represent me."[6] In response to Lopes' comments, Watkins and Thomas stated to Entertainment Weekly that Lopes "doesn't respect the whole group" and "Left Eye is only concerned with Left Eye". In turn, Lopes sent a reply through Entertainment Weekly issuing a "challenge" to Watkins and Thomas to release solo albums and let the public decide who was the "greatest" member of TLC:
" | I challenge Tionne 'Player' Watkins (T-Boz) and Rozonda 'Hater' Thomas (Chilli) to an album entitled "The Challenge"... a 3-CD set that contains three solo albums. Each [album]... will be due to the record label by October 1, 2000...I also challenge Dallas 'The Manipulator' Austin to produce all of the material and do it at a fraction of his normal rate. As I think about it, I'm sure LaFace would not mind throwing in a $1.5 million dollar prize for the winner.[7] | " |
T-Boz and Chilli declined to take up the "Challenge,"[8] though Lopes always maintained it was a great idea. Things were heated between the ladies for some time, with Thomas speaking out against Lopes, calling her antics "selfish", "evil", and "heartless."[9] TLC then addressed these fights by saying that they are very much like sisters that have their disagreements every now and then as Lisa stated, "It's deeper than a working relationship. We have feelings for each other, which is why we get so mad at each other. I usually say that you cannot hate someone unless you love them. So, we love each other. That's the problem."
After Fanmail, Lopes began to expand her solo career. She became a featured rapper on several singles, including former Spice Girl Melanie C's "Never Be the Same Again", which topped the charts in thirty five countries, including the United Kingdom.[10] She was also featured on the first single from Donell Jones' second album, "U Know What's Up", and she sang "Space Cowboy" with 'N Sync on their 2000 album, No Strings Attached. In September 2000 she co hosted the MOBO Awards in the UK alongside Trevor Nelson, where she also performed "U Know Whats's Up" with Donnell Jones. Lopes also collaborated on "Gimme Some" by Toni Braxton from her 2000 release The Heat. In 2001 she appeared in two commercials for Gap Inc.. rappers, and rock bands competed against each other and were judged. The show's winner, which ended up being a male-female rap duo, was promised a record deal and funding to produce a music video, which would then enter MTV's heavy rotation. A then-unknown Anastacia finished in third place, but so impressed Lopes and the show's three judges, that she too scored a record deal. About nine months before her death, Lopes appeared on the singers' edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire along with Joey McIntyre, Tyrese, Nick Lachey, and Lee Ann Womack. She dropped from a $125,000 question and won $32,000 for charity. A year later, in 2002, the episode of her drop was shown and was dedicated to her.
Lopes created "Left Eye Productions" to discover new talent. She helped the R&B trio Blaque to secure a record deal with Columbia Records. Their self-titled debut album was executive-produced by Lopes, who also made a cameo appearance on the album and in their music video "I Do". Lopes was also developing another new band called Ejypt. They worked on her second album under her new nickname, N.I.N.A, meaning New Identity Not Applicable.[11]
Lopes spent much of her free time after the conclusion of TLC's first headlining tour supporting Fanmail recording her debut solo album, "Supernova". It includes a song titled "A New Star is Born", which is dedicated to her late father. She told MTV News:
" | That track is dedicated to all those that have loved ones that have passed away. It's saying that there is no such thing as death. We can call it transforming for a lack of better words, but as scientists would say, 'Every atom that was once a star is now in you.' It's in your body. So, in the song I pretty much go along with that idea. ... I don't care what happens or what people think about death, it doesn't matter. We all share the same space."[12] | " |
Other tracks covered personal issues, including her relationship with NFL football player Andre Rison. In 1994, Lopes infamously burned down Rison's Atlanta mansion, resulting in the loss of all his possessions. Among the album's twelve tracks was also a posthumous duet with Tupac Shakur that was assembled from the large cache of unreleased recordings done prior to his murder in 1996. The unreleased song, "Left Pimpin", was sampled for the song "Quickie", which is featured on TLC's fourth album, 3D. Initially scheduled for release on a date to coincide with the tenth anniversary of her father's death, Arista Records decided to delay, then cancel the American release. The album was eventually released in August 2001 in various foreign territories.
After numerous talks with Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, Lopes severed her solo deal with Arista (despite remaining signed to the label as a member of TLC) and signed with Knight's Tha Row Records, intending to record a second solo album under the pseudonym "N.I.N.A." (New Identity Not Applicable). She was recording with David Bowie for the project, who she was also trying to get involved with the fourth TLC album. The project was also to include several songs recorded by and with Ray J along with close friend Missy Elliott.[13][14] The album was cancelled after Lopes' death in April 2002. In 2011, An unofficial remix album to Supernova was released online featuring artists from Tha Row Records.
In 2008, Lopes' family decided to work with producers at Surefire Music Group to create a posthumous album in her honor, "Eye Legacy". Originally set to be released October 28, 2008, the release date was pushed back to November 11, then to January 27, 2009. The song "Crank It", which features Lopes's sister Reigndrop, was released as a promotional single. The first official single from the album, "Let's Just Do It", was released on January 13, 2009 and features Missy Elliott and TLC. The second official single, "Block Party", features Lil Mama and Clyde McKnight. The album largely consisted of reworked versions of tracks from the Supernova album.
In November 2009, "Forever... the EP" was released which contained international bonus tracks not used on the Eye Legacy album. The EP was only available to download.
An unreleased track featuring Lopes was released on the Internet, on the eve of the 10-year anniversary of her death by Block Starz Music.[15] A portion of the proceeds from the song "Fantasies", which features rapper Bootleg of The Dayton Family, will go to the Lisa Lopes Foundation.
Lopes was often vocal about her personal life and difficult past. She readily admitted that she had come from an abusive, alcoholic background and struggled with alcohol problems herself. These problems became headline news in 1994, when she set fire to Andre Rison's tennis shoes in a bathtub, which ultimately spread to the mansion they shared, destroying it. Lopes claimed that Rison had beaten her after a night out, and she set fire to his shoes to get back at him. However, she said burning down the house was an accident. Lopes later revealed that she did not have a lot of freedom within the relationship and was abused mentally and physically, having released all her frustrations on the night of the fire.[16]
Lopes, who was sentenced to five years probation and therapy at a halfway house, was never able to shake the incident from her reputation. Her relationship with Rison continued to make headlines, with rumors of an imminent wedding, later debunked by People magazine.[17] Lopes revealed on The Last Days of Left Eye documentary that her meeting with a struggling mother in rehab left a big impression on her. She subsequently adopted the woman's 8-year-old daughter. Ten years previously, she had adopted a 12-year-old boy (Jamal of the group Illegal).[18]
Lopes had several large tattoos. Most prominent was a large eagle on her left arm, which she said represented freedom. Later, she added the number "80" around the eagle, which was Rison's NFL number while in Atlanta.[19] She also had a tattoo of a moon with a face on her foot in reference to Rison's nickname, Bad Moon. On her upper right arm was a large tattoo of the name Parron, for her late stepbrother who died in a boating accident, arching over a large tattoo of a pierced heart. Her smallest tattoo was on her left ear and consisted of an arrow pointing to her left over the symbol of an eye, a reference to her nickname.[20]
Roughly three days before her own death, Lopes was involved in a traffic accident that resulted in the death of a ten-year-old Honduran boy. As reported in Philadelphia Weekly, "It is commonplace for people to walk the roads that wind through Honduras, and it's often difficult to see pedestrians."[21] The boy, Bayron Isaul Fuentes Lopez, was following behind his brothers and sisters when he stepped off the median strip and was struck by the van driven by Lopes' personal assistant.[22] Lopes' party stopped and loaded the boy into the car, and the Philadelphia Weekly goes on to explain that "Lisa cradled the dying boy's bleeding head in her arms" while "Someone gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation as they rushed him to a nearby hospital." Bayron Lopez died the next day and Lopes paid approximately $3,700 USD for his medical expenses and funeral, and later compensated the family around $925 USD for their loss, although it was apparently agreed upon by the authorities and the boy's family that his death was an "unforeseeable tragedy", and no blame was placed on Lopes or the driver of the van.[22][23] In the documentary The Last Days of Left Eye, Lopes is shown in a local funeral home choosing a casket for the child. Earlier in the documentary, Lopes mentioned that she felt the presence of a "spirit" following her, and was struck by the fact that the child killed in the accident shared her last name, even thinking that the spirit may have made a mistake by taking his life instead of hers."
Lopes started the Lisa Lopes Foundation, a charitable group dedicated to providing neglected and abandoned youth with the resources necessary to increase their quality of life. Her spiritual motto is the one that she used for her foundation: "Energy never dies...It just transforms." Her foundation went into various underdeveloped villages and gave away brand new clothes to needy children and their families.
On April 25, 2002 in La Ceiba, Honduras, while driving a rented Mitsubishi Montero Sport around a bend in the road, Lisa Lopes swerved to the right slightly then again to the left as she tried to avoid a collision with another vehicle that was in her lane ahead of her (it's not clear as to the direction of travel of the other vehicle at the time of the accident). The vehicle rolled several times after hitting two trees, throwing Lopes and three others out of the windows. She died of neck injuries and severe head trauma, and was the only person fatally injured in the accident. Raina Lopes, in the front passenger seat, was videotaping at the time, so the last seconds leading up to the swerve that resulted in the fatal accident were recorded on video.
Her funeral was held at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia on May 2, 2002.[24] Thousands of people attended her funeral. Engraved upon her casket were the lyrics to her portion of "Waterfalls": "Dreams are hopeless aspirations, in hopes of coming true, believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you." Lopes was buried at Hillandale Memorial Gardens, in Lithonia, Georgia.[25]
In a statement to MTV, producer Jermaine Dupri remembered Lopes:
She was determined to be something in life. She was a true Hip-Hop star. She cared about some press. She was the star out of the group. She was the one who would curse on TV. She had the tattoos. You could not expect the expected. When you see Lisa, you could expect something from her. That is the gift she carried.[12]
Controversy over leaked autopsy photos led to a protest by NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt, Jr.[26] In response, Earnhardt, Jr. and his DEI teammates Michael Waltrip and Steve Park painted a single black stripe next to the left headlight decals of their Chevrolet Monte Carlos for the Pontiac Excitement 400 at Richmond International Raceway to protest about the display of her autopsy photos. A similar controversy had befallen Earnhardt, Jr. himself after his father's death in the Daytona 500 a year earlier.[27]
A documentary showing the final 26 days of Lopes's life, titled The Last Days of Left Eye, premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival in April 2007, for an audience that included many of Lopes's contemporaries, including Monica, Ronnie DeVoe, 112, Big Boi, India.Arie, and Cee-Lo.[16] VH1 and VH1 Soul broadcast the documentary on May 19, 2007. Much of the footage was shot with a hand-held camera, often in the form of diary entries filmed by Lopes while on a 30-day spiritual retreat in Honduras with family and members of the R&B group Egypt.[28] In these entries, she reflected on her personal life and career. A calmer side of her personality was on display, showing interests in numerology and yoga. She was in the process of setting up an educational center for Honduran children on 80 acres (320,000 m2) of land she owned.[29]
In 1998, Lopes created the UNI Studios for the purpose of recording solo projects.[30] Lopes's family opened the studio to the public.[31] So far, her brother Ronald Lopes is the general manager of the studio. Lisa had a dream of making new artists able to record music at a low price, in a high-end studio at her house. Lisa's family continues to operate it and fill it with new equipment.

Beware of "the grace escape.""Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!" we sing…
"For by grace you have been saved by faith!" we recite…
"We live under grace!" we preach…
But do we really understand grace?
Grace has become a part of the basic vocabulary of every Christian. Unfortunately, many believers are abusing God's amazing gift of grace. They have perverted God's undeserved gift of forgiveness, making it a license for immorality, self-indulgence, and minimal involvement in God's kingdom. In the process they are robbing themselves of the joy that comes from obedience to God.
In his provocative new book, pastor and author Dr. Robert Jeffress challenges you to gain a biblical understanding of grace, and reveals how "good grace" can protect your marriage, church, and relationships from confusion and even abuse.
Start experiencing the true freedom of living obediently in God's good grace. Discover Grace Gone Wild!

drugs. Clinical trials are a must for these drugs for verifying their safety/efficacy profile, as also specified documentation. In practice, however, state licensing authorities routinely give approvals for new FDCs. A move is on to shift the licensing powers to the Centre under the Central Drug Authority Bill, which is pending in Parliament.
�There are doubts about the rationality of the FDC drugs (regarding which directions have been issued) and they may not be of any use to patients,� a health ministry official said.
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) in March this year issued a comprehensive list of FDC drugs approved by DCGI which includes a total of 1,125 FDCs covering all therapeutic categories. This list is meant to be a ready reckoner for state regulators as well as doctors and patients.
A recent report in the International Journal of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology on "the irrational fixed-dose combinations in the Indian drug market" states that out of 278 FDCs (the report studied), only 5.4% were rational, and rest of the FDCs were irrational. Moreover, the most commonly prescribed FDCs were B complex, pantoprazole plus domperidone and amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid, said the report.
In 2007, the DCGI had come down heavily against sale of irrational combination medicines and states were asked to withdraw 294 FDCs that were licensed without the regulator's approval. However, the industry got a stay order on these FDCs from the Madras High Court. The matter is still sub judice, and a decision on these 294 FDCs will be taken after the outcome of the case, said the DCGI.
Recently, a parliamentary panel on health had also rapped the government on approving drugs without clinical trials and harmful fixed dose combinations. It had said "this inaction has led to unhindered marketing of these drugs with unknown and unspecified risks to unsuspecting people".

Borden's boys and Henryville's girls each repeated as Southern Athletic Conference track and field champions on Thursday at Borden Community Park.
The Borden boys won 10 of the 16 events to beat runner-up South Central by 59 points. The Hornet girls got four wins from Sadie Spears, two relay victories and showed superior depth to out-distance second-place Borden by 67 points.
As expected, Borden dominated the distance events, winning and taking two of the top three spots in all three events. Less expectedly, Brady Knight swept the sprint events and the Braves won all three relays. Michael Lynch won the pole vault and Brett Williams took the discus for the Braves as the boys' meet began Tuesday with field events.
"It means a lot to send the five seniors out on a good note," Knight said.
"We have a good group that has put in a lot of time," Borden coach Liz Carmony said. "That's what made the difference."
After a short rain delay, the Braves left little doubt of their superiority when their 3,200-meter relay team of Brian Eurton, George Tipker and Nathan and Julien Magallanes broke the school and conference records in a time of 8:24.22.
"It was cool to get [the record], but we were focused more on getting a [personal record]," Nathan Magallanes explained. "Our goal is to get to state. We have never been out of regional, but that's our goal. We know it's going to be tough."
"I've been expecting it," Carmony said of breaking the school record. "I'm very happy with all three relay teams."
Knight trailed late in the 100 to South Central's Collin Kendal and the 200 to the Rebels' Aidan Remero before out-kicking both to the line.
"I tried to stay close enough and let them use up all of their energy then go out and catch them," explained Knight, who also help the 400 relay team to victory.
Borden senior Brian Eurton won most valuable athlete honors with 26 1/2 points, a half-point ahead of New Washington's Ian Hughes. Along with winning the 3,200 relay, Eurton won the 800, was second to teammate Julien Magallanes in the 1,600 and was third in the 3,200, which Nathan Magallanes won ahead of Henryville's Jacob Hedrick.
Hughes won the 400 and the high jump. A year ago, Hughes was favored in the 400 and came up short.
"The 400 is the hardest race in track," Hughes said. "With about 40 meters left, I started to pull away and I started to get excited. Last year, I was undefeated going into conference and lost. The goal this year was to work hard and finally get it."
Henryville's Alex White won the shot put with a toss of just over 42 feet, 6 inches.
Spears and the Henryville runners gave the Hornets a 45-point lead heading into Thursday's field events. The title was the Hornets' seventh straight.
"It's always good to win a championship," Henryville coach Josh Conrad said. "That's something the girls have talked about and looked forward to."
Spears won the 800 in record time (2:31.18), the 1,600, the 3,200 and helped the Hornets to the 3,200 relay title.
"It feels good to be able to help my team so much," Spears said. "It takes the pressure off of some of the other girls."
"She's led us in every practice," Conrad said of Spears. "She knew [Tuesday] was going to be a tough night and she just accepted it."
Spears was not the meet's only four-time winner. New Washington's Alecia Harrod won the 100, the 200, the long jump and was a member of the Mustangs' winning 400 relay team.
Runner-up Borden had three winners. Carson Casey took the shot put and discus, while Shelby Kirchgessner was the pole vault champion.
Floyd Central's boys gave the Highlanders the boys-girls Hoosier Hills Conference sweep for the second straight year by claiming the conference title on Thursday at Columbus East.
The Highlanders scored in 14 of 16 events to beat runner-up Jeffersonville by 26 points for their third straight HHC crown.
"I think we're getting to the point where we're all about all the way through [the lineup]," Floyd Central coach Lane Oxley said.
Codie Hamsley had two of the Highlanders' three wins. He won the shot put with a throw of 52-9 and the discus in 186 feet. Floyd also took first- and second-place finishes in the pole vault, led by Jacob Marguet's 12-6. Taylor Dutton finished second.
Jeffersonville's lone championship came from Tyrell Dowdell, who claimed the 400 title in 50.6 seconds. New Albany's Jermaine Parrish swept in sprints and helped the 400 relay team to a win. He won the 100 in 10.88 and the 200 in 22.21.
Drew Hirsch also won the 3,200 for the Bulldogs, who finished seventh.

Name: Imperial Storm Commando
Type: Mini Busts
Number: No. 80171
Edition Size: 1000
Source: Expanded Universe (X-wing Rogue Squadron)
Availability: January 2012
License: Gentle
Giant Ltd.
The dreaded storm commando was the Empire's answer to the increasing victories won by Rebel Alliance guerilla tactics. Rebel successes early in the Galactic Civil War forced the Imperial military to re-examine some of their methodology. While overwhelming numbers and brute force sufficed in many applications, the Empire identified a need for a leaner, more focused fighting force.
The black storm commando armor is based on the lightweight armor of the stormtrooper scout, but is coated with an advanced polymer called reflec which bends light and sensor energy away from the trooper.
Gentle Giant Ltd. has been hit or miss with their Premier Guild exclusive Mini Busts. Some are jaw-dropping like Clone Captain Rex or the Darth Maul [2011 PGM Exclusive]. The intricate detail in both the paint job and sculpts make them very worthwhile collectibles. But what happens if itâs just an all-black Biker Scout with a bent weapon? Well, thatâs precisely what the 2011 (even though it didnât arrive until January of 2012) Premier Guild exclusive Imperial Storm Commando Mini Bust is. When we look at a collectible like this we have to ask ourselves why it appears that the folks at Gentle Giant Ltd. are already scraping the bottom of the barrel for collectors who pay an extra premium to get these types of exclusives. From a certain point of view the Imperial Storm Commando Mini Bust is cool, but in most other lights it seems like a waste of space for collectors who would much rather have more colorful characters like the aliens in Chalmunâs cantina or Jabbaâs palace. We digress.
Imperial Storm Commando isnât new to collectors. Hasbro has made more than their fair share of the them for the 3.75â lineup. Perhaps the most popular version is part of 2009âs LC Imperial Pilot Legacy (Series II) Evolutions set. While he is based on an older figure, Hasbro updated new parts and made him very accurate to the Expanded Universe sources in which he appears. We can all probably thank the Blackhole Stormtrooper for starting this âshadowâ trend we see cross-pollinating with other troopers. Weâre frankly exhausted from it now and weâd like to see all licensees put a hold on any future ones. Is there something neat about a shiny black Biker Scout? Perhaps, but itâs very tiring now and weâd like to see something new attacked from the Expanded Universe instead. The Imperial Storm Commando doesnât even have the notoriety or fan base like a Shadow Stormtrooper, so weâre very surprised itâs high on the list for Gentle Giant Ltd. to produce.
So, you know we didnât really want the Imperial Storm Commando Mini Bust, but how did it actually turn out? Surprisingly, weâre disappointed with the final product. First, it has a very poor center of gravity. This is inexcusable for a Mini Bust. How hard is it to balance a figure on a two to three inch base that covers the âgroundâ in its entirety? Itâs not, yet the designers at Gentle Giant decided that it would suit the Imperial Storm Commando best to be leaning in a forward-aiming pose which makes the piece want to fall forward. It doesnât of course unless youâre on an unstable surface, but itâs annoying to say the least. Despite this, the sculpt is dead to rights and we probably couldnât get a more perfect representation of the character. There is one more issue however. The gun is permanently secured in the shoulder of the right arm. But itâs been placed there with too much force apparently because the stock of the gun is bowing. If you even attempt to fix this itâs going to break, so leave it alone. As you can see, the Imperial Storm Commando Mini Bust isnât ideal. Itâs not one of their finest moments.
Status: This highly detailed mini bust, based on the original Lucasfilm costumes and props, was sculpted and painted by Gentle Giant Ltd. We hope you enjoy it.

Summer can really mess things up. I live in Florida, and the rain and winds from the summer storms leave a huge mess. Dust seems to settle on everything, no matter how hard you try to keep it out. My annual ornamentals and summer vegetables are becoming dry, brown, scraggly heaps and mold is growing on everything. It's time for an end-of-summer cleaning spree!
Put Away and Toss Away
Now is the time to get your outdoor summer furniture ready to put away for the season. There may still be some nice outdoor time left, so cleaning can be postponed, but take a look at it now and do any repairs that need doing, oil the hinges, and give it a general wipe down. Any outdoor furniture or accessories that have outlived their useful life at my house get put out by the curb or given away on Freecycle or Craigslist. I also put anything I'm no longer using outdoors into storage.
Clean and Maintain the Grill
If you like backyard football get-togethers, now is the time to get that grill ready. After a full summer of cookouts, a serious cleaning is in order. I find that if you take it apart and do a thorough cleaning and lubricating now, it will be much easier to put into storage when the weather turns cold. If your grill cover has become grimy, clean that thoroughly too.
Pick Up and Clean Up the Yard and Garden
Annual summer plants are dying now, and you need to remove the debris from the garden. Harmful insects and diseases overwinter in debris, so doing this now will make for a healthier garden in the spring. Deadheading the perennials keeps them looking good into the fall. I like to also clean and service my garden tools. I scrub off all the rust with a wire brush and re-paint or oil metal parts. I also apply tung oil to wooden handles to protect them from winter drying.
Time for Late Summer Pressure Cleaning
I like to pressure clean the summer grime and mold from the walks, driveway and house before it gets cool, because that cold water spraying back on you is just uncomfortable. While you're pressure cleaning, don't forget the roof. Asphalt shingles last longer if they are cleaned at least once a year. I've found some effective roof mold removers for pressure cleaners at home or hardware stores.
Taking End-of-Summer Cleaning Indoors
Summer's end is a good time to clean out and organize the garage and storage shed. I find that after dragging tools and recreational items in and out all summer, my garage usually looks like something from that hoarding show. When summer is done and it gets a little cooler, I pull everything lying around out and reorganize them for easy access next year. When they are out, I scrub down the concrete floor.
This is also a good time to have carpets and window treatments cleaned of all the summer dirt that's been dragged or blown in. Removing that dirt and dust works well to help avoid winter colds when you're closed up in the dry heated air.
This seems like a lot of work, but believe me, it makes packing it in for winter and emerging in the spring a lot easier and faster. Just do it now and get it over with. You won't regret it.

Apple Propses Hydrogen Fuel Cells for Its Devices: This is interesting, but I'm gonna call BS on it 'till I see it.

Would it have an external supply for hydrogen or would it just be using it for a battery?
That doesn't seem safe :P

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has anything yet been constructed with a functional hydrogen fuel cell? Because this sounds like smoke and mirrors designed to appear impressive.

I seriously doubt it's any more dangerous than the battery melting.
"Constructed" or "constructed with the intent and ability to be mass produced"? The first: all the time. The second: not yet.

I think I worded it poorly; the only hydrogen fuel cells I've heard of have been for vehicles. I mean, I don't care how much snob appeal it has, I can't see the average Apple fanboy carting around a car battery to power his new iPhone.

I for one welcome the return of the brick.
"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -Drunkscriblerian
Well yeah, the miniaturisation is also an issue. Not sure how you can compare a tank of hydrogen being "just as dangerous" as a lithium-ion battery, but okay. I suppose we can assume they make the hydrogen less explody.
Size concerns are large. I'm not sure how this is more green though. Apple is pretty notorious for pretend-green. Let's say they do this. Well we weren't exactly burning coal to power up iPhones (unless you're in America). If you're in Canada, it was hydro/nuclear, if you're in Europe it's solar/wind/nuclear. Switching to hydrogen fuel cells isn't more green than lithium-ion batteries. If they did super-capacitors and then invested in wind farms in America, that would actually be green.
This... not green.
I see the Awesomeness.
Well, if the tank in question is the size of your thumb, there likely wouldn't be enough to actually cause a large explosion, more likely a sudden flare and then out it goes. Where as melted lithium is a molten metal. It would depend on how much they use.
As for being green, wouldn't know unless I could see the final result. Don't really care, this just falls into the "neat" category for me.
This hat doesn't fit!
@Blue: To be fair, modern electric cars and hybrids use lithium-ion cells, so...

Cat From Middle Ages Leaves Mark On History
By editor
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Here's an old saying: Feed and love a dog, and the dog thinks you must be God. Feed and love a cat, and the cat thinks, hey, I must be God. A cat from the Middle Ages apparently demanded attention. A researcher was recently studying a manuscript from 1445 in Croatia, and that researcher discovered paw prints. Apparently, a scribe was working in 1445 when the cat stepped in ink, and then stood with all four paws on the work in progress. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Before arriving in Venezuela, I heard enough bad things to make me reconsider what I was going there for. Only a month before Chavez won a very controversial election (think Bush-Gore election of 2000), Venezuela was one of the countries on the State Departments list of places not to travel to, and the airports were an area to avoid due to recent terrorist related activates. My ship was scheduled to arrive in La Guaira only four days after leaving Brazil. Warnings were broadcasted along the PA systems and during pre-port meetings. "Don't talk politics to anyone", "after 9pm cars don't stop for anyone; it's to dangerous," and "under no circumstances never venture near the favelas." On top of that came the 'what not to do list' which included; Caracas, the highway, the airport, any taxi, near the ocean where pirates lurk, to any tourist area, or anywhere in the shipyard where we were docked…this greatly limited my options for even leaving the ship.When I arrived, I was determined to avoid Caracas like the plague. My first day, I was given the opportunity to teach English at a school in the middle of Caracas. I battle the idea for hours and almost turned back when I saw an Interpol car only a few hundred yards from my ship. I was about to break at least 30 of the 752 things on the list of 'what not to do'; I got a taxi and set off to find the school. My group negotiated the taxi fare for a mini-van that looked like it came out of the war and took off on a 2 ½ hour ride from La Guaira to Caracas; this is where my reeducation began. Along every road, bridge, wall, or any surface for that matter I saw graffiti; not the average "T-dwag wuz here", but passionate statements made for and against the current political direction of the country. After 45 minutes of avoiding the topic of politics we couldn't help ourselves; we asked about the graffiti. This set the driver off onto a 2 hour speech about Chavez, his intentions, his victories for the people, the American backed rebels who were causing the resistance against the current presidency, the election, but most passionately how Chavez was a the pillar that kept Venezuela strong; that he was the breath, the pulse, the heartbeat of the country. His statements weren't attacking us, but more of a plea for us to hear what Chavez had done for Venezuela. As we pulled up to the curve in Caracas our driver reassured us that he wasn't a political man; his friends were much more passionate then he, and he rarely followed the news. When the taxi stopped, I was apprehensive about getting out, but my group wasn't turning back. I took a deep breath, held my bag tight, and stepped out of the car.We found the school after a few wrong turns. Once inside, we were greeted by an employee of the school and were assigned to a classroom. Three of us quietly entered the room and sat in the back. We were in an advanced class, where we got to observe the students. At the end of the class the teacher asked them if they could go anywhere in the world where would they go and why? They all had different answers, but one group talked about how they wouldn't go to New York because it is twice the size of Caracas and much more dangerous. I was surprised that they thought this. I was constantly warned about Caracas, "the murder capital of the world", and my mind started to turn. After the class was over we asked the teacher about this. She was born in Venezuela and spent many years in Texas. She said the difference was that in the US people kill because they are crazy, but in Caracas people kill because they are hungry. This stuck with me all day. Several people in the group decided to stay for another class. The second room that I was in was with children who were around 10 years old. They were excited to interact with us and even wanted to play a game of win, lose, or draw. These kids were bright and vibrant, and so happy.After leaving, I was overwhelmed by the experience. I realized that my fears were preventing me from experiencing the beauty of this country. Venezuela's is truly a diamond in the rough for traveler who seeks adventure not through how many beaches they visit, but through the eyes of the people who occupy the land. The story of the country is found everywhere. The streets of the city are filled with the words of the people both supporting and bashing their political stance, Simon Bolivar, aka El Liberator, a well educated leader who was born in Caracas who worked to free South America from Spain, is celebrated through out the country, and the kindness and openness of the people can be found in the outside the city as locals open their doors for tourists to use a bathroom, eat, or just to sit and share stories. Venezuela is also and ecotraveler's Mecca. Rain forests, famed waterfalls, and 1,800 miles of coastline form the country. 1,300 species of birds, 30,000 recorded species of flowering plants, as well as monkeys, caimans, jaguars, and anteaters call Venezuela home. Fifteen percent of the country is set aside to make 43 national parks some of which are so preserved that they can only be reached by plane.Looking back I realize that my fear, my misconceptions, my ignorance almost made me miss out on seeing what Venezuela had to offer.

Avon Products, Inc. recognized the beauty of "corporate responsibility" nearly a century before the term became part of the cultural lexicon. From the very beginning, in 1886, forward-thinking Avon founder David H. McConnell committed his company "to meet fully the obligations of corporate citizenship by contributing to the well-being of society and the environment in which it functions" - words that still guide the company more than 125 years later.
Avon is committed to the mission to "do well by doing good," managing its business enterprise to the highest standards while leveraging its unique capacity to mobilize and engage people to be agents of change in their lives, communities and the world.
Avon's Corporate Responsibility reflects the three pillars of Avon's corporate mission and drives the focus of the company's corporate responsibility efforts and achievements:
Hello Green Tomorrow is committed to help end deforestation by leveraging the company's unique capacity to mobilize people and raise funds. Launched in 2010 in more than 50 countries, Hello Green Tomorrow in its first two years generated over $3.5 million to help save two of the most critically endangered ecosystems on earth: the Atlantic Rainforest in South America (in partnership with The Nature Conservancy) and the tropical forests of Indonesia (in partnership with World Wildlife Fund). Ongoing worldwide mobilization and fundraising, plus a focus on the "5 R's" (reduce, reuse, recycle, rethink, replant), continue to drive the HGT mission.
Small actions grow into big changes that will help plant a future.
The collective power of Avon's worldwide network of Avon Representatives, employees, supporters and donors creates an incredible philanthropic force. The Avon Foundation, founded in 1955 with the goal of improving women's lives, today is proud to be the largest corporate philanthropy dedicated to women's causes globally, with a focus on the issues of breast cancer and violence against women.

Application | Dilution | Species-Reactivity | Sensitivity | MW (kDa) | Isotype |
W | 1:1000 | Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey | Endogenous | 34 | Rabbit IgG |
Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot.
Applications Key: W=Western Blotting, IP=Immunoprecipitation, IF-IC=Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry), F=Flow Cytometry
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) (10A11) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of cdc2 protein only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 15. Based on sequence similarity, the antibody may cross-react with CDK2 and CDK3.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr15 of human cdc2.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, untreated or hydroxyurea treated for 20 hours, using Phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) (10A11) Rabbit mAb.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of nonphosphorylated GST-cdc2 fusion protein (lane 1), and extracts from SK-N-MC cells treated with hydroxyurea for 20 hours (lane 2), using Phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) (10A11) Rabbit mAb (upper), or cdc2 Antibody #9112 (lower).
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of Jurkat cells, using Phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) (10A11) Rabbit mAb versus propidium iodide (DNA content).
The entry of eukaryotic cells into mitosis is regulated by cdc2 kinase activation, a process controlled at several steps including cyclin binding and phosphorylation of cdc2 at Thr161 (1). However, the critical regulatory step in activating cdc2 during progression into mitosis appears to be dephosphorylation of cdc2 at Thr14 and Tyr15 (2). Phosphorylation at Thr14 and Tyr15, resulting in inhibition of cdc2, can be carried out by Wee1 and Myt1 protein kinases (3,4). The cdc25 phosphatase may be responsible for removal of phosphates at Thr14 and Tyr15 and subsequent activation of cdc2 (1,5).

The discourse of Olympic security 2012 : London 2012

This paper uses a combination of CDA and CL to investigate the discursive realization of the security operation for the 2012 London Olympic Games. Drawing on Didier Bigo's (2008) conceptualisation of the 'banopticon', it address two questions: what distinctive linguistic features are used in documents relating to security for London 2012; and, how is Olympic security realized as a discursive practice in these documents? Findings suggest that the documents indeed realized key banoptic features of the banopticon: exceptionalism, exclusion and prediction, as well as what we call 'pedagogisation'. Claims were made for the exceptional scale of the Olympic events; predictive technologies were proposed to assess the threat from terrorism; and documentary evidence suggests that access to Olympic venues was being constituted to resemble transit through national boundaries

Discover the Midwest on Amy Thielen's Heartland Table
by Maria Russo in Shows, August 28th, 2013America's middle may be known for its lush green pastures and rolling hills, but it's also home to some of the most comforting and creative food in the country, thanks to its focus on farming and rural, rustic living. On her all-new upcoming series, Heartland Table (Saturday, Sept. 14 at 10:30am/9:30c), Amy Thielen, a born-and-raised Minnesotan, is on a mission to introduce her Midwest to viewers through her signature takes on the classic dishes of the area.
Amy is a chef and a former restaurant cook who enjoyed a stint in some of New York City's most revered eateries, but after years in the Big Apple, she moved home to Minnesota with her husband to raise their family. On Heartland Table, she'll showcase some of her region's most comforting and authentic dishes using only the freshest goods available, like straight-from-the-garden greens, locally sourced eggs and meat, and neighborhood produce. Now a cookbook author and blogger, Amy knows what it takes to turn out the hearty, family-focused food for which the heartland is famous, and she'll show audiences how deliciously simple it is to make these meals in their homes, no matter which part of the country they're in.

Midwest food is finding its national audience, just like with another new show on the web called American Food Quest at AmericanFoodQuest.com
I wish the show was back on Saturday mornings! I miss it!! I hope new shows are coming! I made the peppered Pork, Delicious!!!
I was hooked on Pioneer Woman until Heartland Kitchen came along. I love a show where the ingredients come from your garden and are ALL HOME MADE.
A show about how to be more self sufficient and how to be frugal in the kitchen would be a good idea. It seems all you give us is competition shows. Thats boring. -
The enormous Canadians tuning in the Super Bowl on Sunday night are usually more willing to absorb the luxurious tv advertisements compared to the football sport in itself, a fresh survey implies.
That doesn't mean, however, that probable ad-watchers will likely be turning on their tv screens to do so. Of the people who wish to look at the big-budget commercials which may have develop into a hallmark of the event, the study discovered 45 per cent want to view them on the internet instead of at the time of the matchup between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.

Tangled Web: A Special Report
A photograph published as part of the three-day series "Tangled Web" depicted a man whose image was used on an online dating site without his permission. The man in the photo (pictured here) was not Tim Swinea, the subject of the series, and was not involved in the other events described in the series. Other photos in the series depicted Swinea in a courtroom, with his fiancé and at Dallas Cowboys Stadium. We apologize for any confusion the photograph's publication might have caused.
About this report
Reporter Shereen Skola began to investigate the background of Tim Swinea after he was implicated in the sudden closure of a Wausau-area day care center in December. She uncovered a history of elaborate deceptions and multiple reported victims. In this three-day series, Skola documents the accusations against Swinea and the shattered lives he's left behind.
One part of the story will be posted each day beginning Saturday evening, June 22, through Monday evening, June 24.
Part 1: Penny Schoenke of Menasha tells the story of how a relationship with a man she met online started as a dream come true but evolved into a nightmare.
Part 2: Schoenke's life takes a harrowing turn as Swinea convinces her that she and her children are in danger and persuades them to flee with him to Texas and Oklahoma to seek the protection of federal agents.
Part 3: Swinea's criminal history in Wisconsin starts 16 years ago in Wausau and is far from over.
