text: 000 FXUS63 KABR 240546 AAC AFDABR Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 1246 AM CDT SAT SEP 24 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1243 AM CDT SAT SEP 24 2016 See below for an updated aviation forecast discussion. UPDATE Issued at 927 PM CDT FRI SEP 23 2016 Showers/storms lifting straight north across western sd will clip our western cwa into the early morning hours. Otherwise, low clouds and fog are expected to remain in the Sisseton Hills region through the night. Updated forecast. UPDATE Issued at 659 PM CDT FRI SEP 23 2016 00z aviation discussion updated below. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Sunday Night) Issued at 333 PM CDT FRI SEP 23 2016 Warm front continues to surge northward this afternoon with a large temperature gradient across the region. 90s have pushed into Chamberlain while 60s remain over northern SD. Clearing line has made steady progress northward as well, and will continue to see this trend into the evening hours. Low clouds and fog remain stuck over the higher elevations of the eastern CWA and will keep fog mention into the evening/overnight hours as things may be a bit harder to scour out here. Most of the CWA is dry at this time, with just a few showers exiting the borders to the north and east. Expect much of the evening/overnight to be dry across the CWA with additional shower and storm development affecting mainly western SD and perhaps into the far western CWA. Presence of strong low level jet over the area may get some activity going by sunrise though over parts of the CWA. Focus will then shift to Saturday as low pressure moves northward into ND. Wind shift/dry line will push east across the CWA during the day. Mid level speed max moves overhead as well with height falls overspreading the region. Instability is not overly impressive...but low level shear and presence of aforementioned items will be enough to bring scattered showers and storms to the area by as early as late morning. As activity moves east into the afternoon...some upscale growth is possible as better instability is tapped. Could see a few stronger storms capable of strong winds and hail. Low will begin moving east on Sunday, with strong northwest winds developing in its wake, especially over central SD where marginal wind advisory speeds may be felt. Cooler temperatures will also move in on Sunday, with highs in the 60s. Increased cloud cover as well, more so over eastern portions of the CWA as it appears quite a few clouds will be rotating through on the back side of the low. Still looking at the potential for some light wrap-around showers as well, mainly over northern portions of the CWA. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Friday) Issued at 333 PM CDT FRI SEP 23 2016 The extended period opens up with an exiting, deep upper trough and northwest flow aloft. This will keep temps more autumn-like for the start of the work week with highs in the 60s. As a ridge builds in midweek, highs will pop into the 70s again. Most of the period will be dry under high pressure. Current model runs indicate a wave of low pressure moving through toward the end of the work week. This wave could bring some showers and thunderstorms. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday Night) Issued at 1243 AM CDT SAT SEP 24 2016 VFR conditions are expected at all locations through tonight and Saturday. Otherwise, llws shear is expected tonight with low level winds of over 40 knots not far off the surface. A few showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop and lift northeast across the region Saturday, mainly in the afternoon, as an upper level low pressure trough moves in from the southwest. && .ABR Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

The Department of North Augusta Public Safety is asking for the publics help in finding a missing person.
Dr. John Edward Janik, 61, of North Augusta has been missing since Tuesday morning, police said. Janik never reported to work and a missing persons report was filed with public safety around noon on Tuesday.
Janik was last seen driving to his job at the Georgia Health Sciences University in his burgundy 1995 Chevrolet Camaro convertible, police said.
Janik was wearing a brown jacket and pants with a white shirt. The South Carolina license tag on the Camaro is 6839FS.
At this point, police said there is no evidence to indicate foulplay.
According to the family, Janik has never disappeared or not been reachable before, and they are concerned for his personal well-being.
Anyone who sees Janik or has information as to his whereabouts is asked to contact either North Augusta Public Safety at (803) 279-2121, the GHSU Police Department or the Richmond County Sheriffs Office immediately.

COVINGTON, Ga. — Newton County School System's (NCSS) board of education voted unanimously at a meeting on Tuesday to implement a three-tier pupil transportation system for the 2011-12 school year.
According to Dennis Carpenter, deputy superintendent for NCSS, the new system will provide significant cost-savings to the district — approximately $1,477,441 — due to a decreased need for personnel, buses and fuel.
He added that the new transportation system will necessitate a change to school start and finish times next school year. NCSS currently utilizes a two‐tier transportation system where middle and high schools share the same start and finish times. Elementary schools start and finish the school day earlier.
The new three‐tier system will have staggered school start and finish times at the elementary, middle and high school levels.
In addition to providing a significant cost-savings to NCSS, officials said the new system will offer many additional benefits, including the elimination of combined routes, meaning middle and high school students will not ride on buses together, which should result in improved student discipline.
In addition to riding on the bus only with their peers, middle school students should see a reduced ride time with the new three‐tier system.
According to Carpenter, the three‐tier system will result in the district having adequate staff and buses to provide transportation for athletic events and field trips. The new system will also eliminate the need for substitutes, as substitutes are built into the three‐tier system.
"Three‐tiered transportation has worked well in other localities around the nation," NCSS Superintendent Gary Mathews said. "It brings NCSS different routes for elementary, middle, high and alternative-education students, respectively. With each population having its own buses, I believe we
are more 'age‐appropriate' when it comes to transporting our students. It should provide for better discipline, as has been the case elsewhere."
Mathews also noted that, "Academically, the new start-stop times for the school day are in keeping with the so‐called 'biological clock' research related to when certain‐age students learn best."

Made this for my other half since I'm not the coffee drinker around here! I followed your recipe right on down, & got only raves from the other side of the table, so I guess I'll be keeping this recipe around for the duration! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
Very refreshing, even on a chilly day. Looking forward to this in the heat of summer. Made for Spring 2011 PAC game.
I love coffee hot or cold so this recipe jumped right out at me. I made a pot of a Costa Rican blend I picked up while there a few weeks ago. I made the pot a little stronger and chilled about 4 cups right away. I used a mix of black and dark cocoa mixed with sugar for the rim and half and half for my cream. Very nice and worth repeating. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 2011.

It's nearing two weeks since unions and their cohorts on the Left have thrown a nationwide fit over Scott Walker's solution to what is ailing Wisconsin. Unions and Democrats have made Wisconsin their cause célèbre by deploying OFA astroturf, the big talking heads, as well as recruiting just about every known Grateful Dead concert attendee on their mailing lists into Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Democratic state senators (now humorously known as fleebaggers) comically continue to hold the state hostage over an issue of union power, politics and money—nothing more and nothing less.
Despite unions' long hatred of Scott Walker, the new governor is moving to address both the symptoms of the disease and the disease itself—the public-sector union scheme that has molested Wisconsin's taxpayers and their children by gaming the system. Unions like Wisconsin's teachers' union [WEAC] (which was Wisconsin's biggest-spending lobby in 2009) have been extraordinarily adept at fixing the system through spending millions to elect politicians who, in turn, reward the unions at the expense of the taxpayers.
Now, in response to Walker's proposals, the Left has gone overboard in their attempt to protect their stranglehold on Wisconsin taxpayers. Even though unions have made clear that their fight is not about their wages or benefits (they've offered concessions), they've made the fight all about their "right to be unionized" and the fictitious right to "collective bargaining"—which makes their cause even more despotic.
In making Madison into something reminiscent of the spectacle of the 1960s, unions, Democrats and their liberal cohorts are attempting to make the Wisconsin union battle into a civil rights battle, when it is not. In fact, the Wisconsin fight, when compared to private-sector negotiations is about: 1) the Scope of Bargaining, 2) Union "Income" Security [Right-to-Work vs. Forced Dues], 3) whether Wisconsin should be the unions' dues collection agency [payroll deduction of dues], and 4) whether public-sector unions should be 'recertified' by holding elections every year.
Contrary to the Left's hyperbole, Scott Walker's proposals do nothing to eliminate public-sector workers' right to association, assemblage, or to petition their government. Even pretending that it is a "rights" issue is a mistake. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that requires a government to engage in a back and forth negotiation with a collective of workers. In a poignant piece entitled There is No Right to Collective Bargaining, Public Service Research Foundation President David Denholm summarizes the problem with the unions' argument, stating:
A law granting public-sector unions monopoly bargaining privileges gives a union, a special interest group, two bites at the apple. First, it uses its political clout to elect public officials. Then it negotiates with the very same officials.
When you consider that between 70 and 80 percent of all local government expenditures are personnel costs, you begin to get an idea of the magnitude of the power such laws give unions.
Not only is there no right to collective bargaining in public employment, it is wrong. Collective bargaining distorts and corrupts democratic government.
Collective bargaining is a process for employer-employee relations that was designed for the private sector. This process served as the model for the development of public-sector collective bargaining without taking into account the fundamental differences between the two sectors.
As Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour explains:
"When they have collective bargaining in Wisconsin, on one side of the table there's state employee unions or the local employee unions. On the other side of the table are politicians that they paid for the election of those politicians," Barbour said. "Now, who represents the taxpayers in that negotiation? Well, actually, nobody."
Even Newsweek's Evan Thomas noted on Sunday [via Newsbusters]:
The Democrats really depend on these public employee unions in a lot of states for their support and for their political muscle, and public employee unions got a problem here. I want to distinguish between unions and public employee unions. Unions obviously are critical, but in the public sector, public employee unions have a pretty easy time getting a lot of benefits because nobody's really pushing back all that hard.
Admittedly, Walker's proposals are a threat to unions in several ways. As Walker's proposals determine:
- The extent of what unions will be allowed to bargain about. Walker's proposal limits bargaining to wages only, effectively eliminating the WEA Trust monopoly which gets its money from local school boards and runs it through a union-run insurance company.
- Whether unions can have workers fired for not paying union dues. According to its most recent financial record on file, WEAC (the teachers' union) raked in over $25 million in 2009. Walker's proposal makes paying union dues voluntary, as opposed to mandatory. This goes to the lifeblood of any union. If, for example, 20% of those teachers who are currently required to pay union dues as a condition of employment opt out, WEAC could lose up to $5 million a year in revenue. [It is noteworthy that, in the private-sector, the SEIU will be conducting its second strike at a Pennsylvania medical center over the issue of mandatory dues.]
- Whether the state will continue being the unions' dues collector. Walker's proposal eliminates' the employers' payroll deduction of union dues. Again, while it is commonplace for unions to negotiate payroll deduction, there is nothing anywhere (in private or public sector law) that states that it is an employers' duty to be a union's collection agency.
- Whether the unions will have to 're-certify' every year to maintain representational status. Of all of Walker's proposals, this seems to be one that could be considered a 'throw away' item in negotiations. If Walker's other proposals get enacted, and union-represented employees feel that the union is worthless, they can initiate an election themselves every calendar under existing law [see Section 111.83(5)[h]] .
Given the ability of the unions and their co-conspirators on the Left to hijack the issue in Wisconsin over these last two weeks, there appears no way for a "win-win" compromise to be worked out. One side or the other will win. Either the unions and the Left, or taxpayers will prevail.
If the Left wins, all chances of reforming public-sector unions will be tossed aside by weak-kneed Republicans who will then be held hostage by temper-tantrum throwing Democrats (see Indiana for example). In addition, the Left has already painted the entire Republicans party with bulls eyes and has for years. Therefore, there is no reason for GOP governors like Scott Walker, Chris Christie and John Kasich to back down, which puts the Left in an untenable situation as well.
In the meantime, the disciples of Saul Alinsky will continue their prattle, attempting to convince America that the Battle of Wisconsin is something more than a fight over union power, politics and money...even though it's not.

"Nice to meet you, Jay," Evie chimed, trying to put on her best grin, though this resulted in timid quirk of the lips. "you don't mind if I call you Jay, right?" her voice quivered slightly but she knew she shouldn't let it show. "I'm Evie and Leka's my Umbreon"
Mentally Evie cringed at her own awkwardness, she couldn't believe that Leka had done this to her.
So much for being my best friend!
She thought acidly, shooting the sleek Pokémon a look which would have caused a herd of wild torus to stop and run in the opposite direction. Leka however was unaffected and simply did was Leka did best, giving her a look that for all intensive purposes was him smirking at her, before moving forward and leaping gracefully up onto a bolder opposite Jay.
Evie narrowed her eyes in glare at the Pokémon but regardless of her feelings now she knew Leka was in the right. If she was going to stand a chance here, she would just have to man up and make friends. Biting her lip, she looked back at Jay and smiled again before walking tentatively forward, picking a rock to sit on. After a few moments, she chose one next to Umbreon and climbed rather ungracefully up. Settling atop the rock, she pulled out her sketch book, before fishing inside her bag for a pencil.
"so" she started, still rooting around her bag for a pencil, "you been coming here long?" she felt odd asking the question and though the boy had agreed to her sittin with him, she felt unwelcome. Unsure, however, if that was just her nerves, she ignore that feeling and pressed on, determined not to let her shyness get in the way this time. "It's so beautiful here" she grinned at last finding her pencil, before taking in a big breath " and smells wonderful! Reminds me of Cherrygrove, back home." With this she closed her eyes, as if picturing it and truly smiled, her pink lips pulling back gracefully, and warming her cheeks. "It's so nice back home this time of year, my aunt use to take me there to look at some shops in the holidays, when we were working on the ranch." Slowly she opened her eyes again, the pastel shades of the flowers in the grove fading back into memory along with laughter of her aunt, and looked over at Jay, "you're Pokémon look amazing by the way, never really seen a bird Pokémon up close, are they difficult to train?" admiration filled her voice in honey tones. All looked healthy and strong, well looked after and seemed well natured from first glances. whether this was true, Evie left to find out on closer acquaintance. Opening her sketch book, she fingered through the thick pages, skipping past water colour paintings and random sketches, before she found a fresh page. It's blank face stared back up at her, full of potential. Slowly, line by line, she began to copy the landscape in front of her, remembering her aunt's instructions from when she was a child, her voice filling her head, instructing her on each stroke.
Leka let out a snort as his way of laughing, looked up at the birds. Much like Evie, he'd never truly paid much attention to bird Pokémon back on the ranch, bar hoot, who many a time had stayed awake with him through long winter nights and watched the moon with him. In respect he bowed his head each of them, one at a time in greeting, before stretching his legs then tucking them underneath him neatly. "Leka's the name, nice to meet ya'll" he nodded. "Hope we aren't intruding in your peace and quiet. Just, Evie is a big artist and can't resist a good view."

Best Place to Gamble
During our great nation's early history, as Europeans fought with the native people for control of precious land, the Seminole Indians of Florida established an alliance with escaped African slaves. They had a common enemy: angry ol' Mr. Whitey. But this alliance was by no means the strangest in the Seminoles' history. You can behold the strangest yourself when you look west from Interstate 95 as you pass the Stirling Road exit. That monstrous tower on the horizon, built through a partnership between the Seminoles and London's Hard Rock Cafe, is about as bizarre an alliance as you'll find. Still, the newly opened Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has quickly changed gambling in South Florida. A 130,000-square-foot facility open around the clock, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino features more than 2,000 money-thieving machines and 40 to 60 tables of poker offering such old standbys as Seven-Card Stud and Texas Hold 'Em. What's more, this casino's location between the Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood downtown areas should make this gleaming new popsicle stand one that Gen. Custer would have saluted.

So, we've colorized our character's head, and now it's time to move onto the body. So, let's double-click on the symbol on the stage, or if you prefer, double-click on the bd symbol in the Library panel. Let's padlock the head because the head is done and unpadlock all the body layers, and we also would probably benefit if we had our color_model from the Library on the stage, so we can refer to this and grab colors from it. Then apply them to our character or vectorized liner. So, let's use the Eyedropper tool, that's this one, and grab the relevant colors, and just drop them in.
Now, you'll notice when we do this that any of the errors that we've made in the layer hierarchy will very very quickly become apparent, and that's not a problem. Very easy to fix this. Notice also, we have a gradient on the body. We're not going to worry about that in this class. We'll do that in the next one. But for now, let's just go with the basic flat area. Okay, there's one last little area that you might see and that's this little white spot in here. So we want to shade that with the darker shadow area on the skin, grab that with the Eyedropper, and just drop that in.
Let's zoom out and have a look. Okay. Now to fix the little layering errors, just click on the layer that's too high or too low and just drag it down until it looks good. Same thing with this hand here, and I think this leg should be, or I actually think the torso might be a bit lower. Oh yes, and this is a little mistake that we made earlier on. Notice that we accidentally drew the foot on the wrong level. That's okay. Easy to fix. Just select the foot, copy it, and cut it, you grab the layer that you want, and into the right foot, Paste in Place, or Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+Shift+V. Now we're good.
So, at this point, there's one last thing that's really going to be an issue, and that is the color on the hands. We can see the potential problem with this. If we double-click on the black line and then hit Ctrl+X to get rid of it, you can't see where the fingers are. The solution to that, while we could keep the black line, but it looks kind of ugly, is something like this where we put a shadow color separation. We could also, if we wanted to, put a highlight one on the other end. So, I'm going to go in and I'm going to add that. So let's just select the hand layer, we'll hide the rest, and usually we favor one side or the other.
So I like to imagine the light coming in from one end and be sure when we apply these points that they snap to the corner to keep the geometry nice and clean. I like to grab a bunch of points, put them on here first, and then since these are very finely positioned and Snap can be kind of aggressive, I have to switch it off for this part. And back on when we have to connect to these corners precisely, and I think one more up here, just to mark that out.
Now, I want to find that color for the skin shadow color. We can get rid of that line. Pull it from there. Double-click on the line to get rid of it. So let's see what that looks like without the line, and that looks pretty good. So now, we repeat the process over here, and again let's just select the right layer, get rid of everything else. Oops! Again, this is one of those points when we want to get rid of Snap for a little bit. Maybe zoom in.
I'm going to just throw down some temporary positions here. Put Snap back on for this, so we hit those corners exactly right. Maybe round off these areas, wherever you think looks best, and color them in, and little reminder to make sure that Don't Close Gaps has been selected for this. Oops! Ah, we have an open line there. The reason why I don't like to have the gaps set to that point is because if you have it selected to don't Close Small Gaps or Large Gaps, these little areas oftentimes will be left white or empty, and that will cause problems.
Okay, that looks good. So, let's unhide everything. Let's just hide these for now. Then if you want to test the character without their lines, very-very simple, Zoom out, make it quite small, and select the Eraser and just have it select to Erase Lines. Make sure you've erased everything on the stage, zoom in, looking pretty good. Let's do the same thing on the head layer. Unpadlock that, click in, and erase everything, just the lines.
Now, we're starting to see our character begin to approach the end state. So, now we have the character fully colored. There is some little work still to be done. We need to add a gradient to the body, and we need to symbolize the hands, and the feet, and all the body parts. Then to add pivots, but the next step will be to add this little cool color gradient to the torso.

Love to laugh and have fun! I'm a talker and love a stimulating conversation. I'm fiercely loyal to those I come to love and tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. Other then that, I'm your typical woman: I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've learned, I've held on, moved on, been lost and then found, explored, made mistakes, tried and failed, tried again and succeeded, it's made me who I am! Oh and by the way - I'm still doing everything I just said I've done. Aside from my family and friends - the girl in me has love for and can't resist shoes, purses, underwear and charm To save some of you your time: 1. Don't send messages with your measurements assuming it's what my name means - because it doesn't. 2.Don't start a chat with "hey baby you wanna fuck? Do you swallow? What are you wearing?" 3.One last thing: i dont wont 2 tlk 2 u if u r gnna type lke this cuz i wnt to skewl and learned the english language. letz all show the teacherz we torchered sum respect and and type with some grammar and actual werdz bcuz trying 2 read a message like this not only gives me a hedache but its rilly annoying. c wut i mean?

omg! I think I'm gonna be sick. LOL ... my head hurts from the email alone - can't imagine a conversation!
"It is what it is"...something about it just bugs me...what is is it exactly? Totally agree.... It's an easy out for people who don't want to step up to a challenge, or open their minds to problem solve.... My thoughts on people that use this is that "it is what it is" because you have decided to settle on letting it be "what it is" because that's easier then changing it to what it could be if you'd just open your mind and explore options... Let's stop just settling for what "it is" and step up and come together to help make it what is should or could be. I hear this all the time at work... and cant stand it, it's an easy out in my world...and just for the record.. those that settle for accepting things to be "what they are" lose their right to bitch about things being as they are because they make no effort to try change them.oh wow... feeling much better now that that's off my chest! :)

CLUB DOG MEMBER SINCE: February 4, 2010
Did my job, that Rotti wasn't out yesterday! Now I'm just trying hard to keep the boom boom's away from mom's farm! Mom said the rain is good, just no noise to go with it! BOL! Labby Hugs & Licks, Angel Harley. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thank goodness mom don't have any errands to run today! Yesterday she went to Verizon and had the old broken phone transferred over to the replacement one. They had some problems with mom's music and apps and photos! So it took forever! Mom's still having issues with bringing up her photos they way she wants them! Then mom went grocery shopping and I got a new kind of chicken strips! Soft chewy with a hint of BBQ on them! I actually ate one! I'm very fussy! We couldn't turn the horses out cause it was nasty and threatening to rain anytime! But mom did get an umbrella out and her and I went for our walk. Just as we were close to home, he wood company was coming up the road with our first delivery of 2 cords of wood. I met Chris and he is very nice. I went right up to him. And I didn't get scared when the big truck dumped the wood just 10 feet from mom and I. Nope that noise didn't bother me. Mom was so happy! Now today mom want to work and ride Paige. I'll get some indoor arena time too! We don't know if we'll get our walk in today or not. Heavy rains by later in the day! And Mo's in the barn and I was pretty good, although on my leash tied to the wall. Only once did I try to advance towards him to fast and I got a reprimand with a vibration on my E-collar! I stopped! When we left the barn, Mo was sitting in the window and I just looked at him and walked off leash with mom! Never even looked back at him. So mom was very pleased! Well gotta go and start a fire in the wood burner, only 52 outside and staying that way all day. House is cold and damp, so mom says we'll fire up the wood burner! Labby Wiggle Butts, Honey!

Today is a bit hotter though. we really need some rain so hopefully that will happen. We are all doing fine here. opa has his last day of work on Tuesday. And Saturday he went to his old work, the air national guard. They are closing the base down. So they had a last flyover. It was sad. Me, oma and mom saw it from here. we had just gotten back from doing a few errands. Mom says she is going to miss those C-130s jugging over. I went to the library park yesterday and the day before so that was nice. Mom has been way behind on everything as usual. Nothing I do has helped that. so you will hopefully forgive us if we are hit and miss again. and then this month is oma and opa's birthday. The kids(mom and her siblings) are giving them a laptop. And mom has been chosen to teach them how to use it. they have never, ever used a computer. It is going to be an adventure that is for sure. wish mom luck and tons of patience. Baby Louie is doing well and being silly. Connie is doing well with her pacemaker in. her sis came in from CO for the weekend so mom has been busy with that too. but the good news is she did grill steaks last night.

Government failed on all fronts: BJP
By Express News Service - NEW DELHI
Published: 21st November 2012 11:01 AM
Last Updated: 21st November 2012 11:01 AM
The BJP-led alliance has not given up on the no-confidence motion proposed by Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress.
"This government has failed on all the fronts and the time has come for it go.The DA would consult all political parties to explore the possibility of a no-confidence motion against the government," the statement read out by BJP chief spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.The NDA meeting, held at the residence of L K Advani, was attended by senior BJP leaders Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley, BJP president Nitin Gadkari, NDA convener Sharad Yadav, Akali Dal leader Naresh Gujral, Shiv Sena leader Ananth Geete, JD (U) leader Shivanand Tiwari, and Haryana Janhit Party leader Kuldeep Bishnoi.On the other side of the spectrum, the new Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Kamal Nath, tried to appear as cool as possible about the opposition's concerted attempt to put the government on the mat either through a voting on FDI-in-retail or a no confidence motion. "We've the numbers. But we will be try to evolve a consensus." Also pushing the ball in the Lok Sabha Speaker's court, Nath said, "There are notices for debate under both rule 193 (which does not require voting) and 183. We will tell the Speaker we don't want discussion on FDI that entails voting." However, indications are that the government already mustering up the numbers to meet any eventuality.
As for Mamata's threat of no-confidence, Nath said, "How can a party with 19 MPs be a threat to a government?"

Jan Eberth, epidemiology and biostatistics, authored "The utility of Google Trends data to examine interest in cancer screening" in BMJ Open. The article discusses the utility of January 2004 to April 2014 Google Trends data from information searches for cancer screenings and preparations as a complement to population screening data, which are traditionally estimated through costly population-level surveys.

The 2015-2016 budget recently passed by the South Carolina General Assembly contains a specific proviso in the amount of $200,000, matching equivalent funding from private sources, to support the CCCR's Screening Program, which fosters colonoscopy screening statewide. Legislators supported the proviso for the tired consecutived year, recognizing the potential for screening as an effective strategy to reduce colorectal cancer incidence, deaths and overall health care costs. The money will leverage funds from The Duke Endowment, the South Carolina BlueCross BlueShield Foundation, the National Institues of Health, and many private donors in increasing screening rates for colorectal cancer among uninsured and medically underserved individuals throughout South Carolina.

The Center for Colon Cancer Research is currently hosting a Summer Undergraduate Minority Research Program for undergraduate minority science students who have an interest in biomedical research. This program has been running since May 24, and ends on July 29, 2015. The goal of the Summer Undergraduate Minority Research Program is to provide undergraduate minority students with an opportunity to work in a research laboratory related to their career interest, and to decide whether a research career is a good fit for them. For those students interested in a research career, this program will provide them with information for applying and being accepted to a high-caliber graduate training program. This summer experience, along with their own hard work and good grades, will help them become highly competitive applicants.

Performances of SPEED took place at the Marroney Theature on May 8, 2010. It was a fantastic experience for all involved.
CrossTalk won first place in an international video competition sponsored Alternate Mode. For this honor, the group won a brand new TrapKAT electronic percussion controller. The group performed Licorice and Cigarettes by UA faculty member, Jay Rees. Norman Weinberg, co-director of CrossTalk, also took home an "Honorable Mention" for the video of his original composition, Beijing. Check out both of the videos here!

JERUSALEM, Israel - Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority will resume next month, marking the first attempt at such negotiations in nearly two years.
The Obama administration announced Friday that the Mideast talks would resume Sept. 2. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said a two-state solution would be the ultimate goal.
"Since the beginning of this administration, we have worked with the Israelis and Palestinians and our international partners to advance the cause of comprehensive peace in the Middle East," Clinton said.
"As we move forward, it is important that actions by all sides help to advance our effort, not hinder it," she continued. "There have been difficulties in the past. There will be difficulties ahead. Without a doubt, we will hit more obstacles."
The Middle East Quartet -- made up of the U.S., European Union, United Nations, and Russia -- has acted to mediate between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
A statement issued in June by the Quartet projected a two-year period to complete the negotiations, but Friday's statement calls for talks to conclude within a year.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that "reaching an agreement is a difficult challenge, but is possible."
"We are coming to the talks with a genuine desire to reach a peace agreement between the two peoples that will protect Israel's national security interests," he added.
When Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas meet on Sept. 2, they will decide the parameters for the talks and where and when the later rounds of talks will be, U.S. envoy to the Mideast, George Mitchell said.
It's been 20 months since Israel and Palestine had face-to-face talks. Direct talks broke down in Dec. 2008. Here's a brief timeline of events since:
