For the 2015 competition call for proposals, click here.
Candidates have until September 4, 2015 to submit their full application by filling out this form.
An information session on the 2015 Explore Program will be held on Wednesday July 22, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Université de Montréal : Jean Coutu Pavilion, 2nd Floor, Chemin de la Polytechnique, Room Robert Goyer (2199).
CQDM has received 112 letters of intent under the 2014 Explore competition. The announcement of the 5 awarded research projects has been made on June 16, 2015.
Scope of the program
The CQDM Explore program is widely opened to the scientific community of Quebec and Ontario. CQDM and the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) are working collaboratively to launch the 2015 Explore competition which aims to support unconventional and highly innovative research projects that could strongly impact the drug discovery process. Explore is designed to fund early concept validation of cutting edge technologies, computational tools, novel approaches, techniques and devices that address the most crucial needs in drug discovery and/or development.
The ultimate goal of the Explore funding program is to challenge the established practices in the drug R&D process. Projects funded by this program must have the potential for a breakthrough discovery that have the potential to radically transform the current paradigm or conventional wisdom. Research projects that result only in incremental improvements over the existing state of the art will not be considered in this funding program.
While no preliminary data is necessary, the rationale behind the proposal must be very strong and the applicants must clearly demonstrate how the scientific approach will be validated. The projects may indicate a higher level of uncertainty or exploration, as long as they address well-identified and crucial industrial bottlenecks of the drug R&D process.
Eligibility criteria
For each research proposal submitted in this program:
- The disruptive potential impact of the project on biopharmaceutical research will be considered a priority
The program is widely open to the research community.
The research could be performed at universities or affiliated research institutions, hospitals or academic research institutions, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the private sector (including SMEs in the field of life sciences, biotechnologies, biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, engineering, imaging or contract research organizations (CROs))
- Multinational pharmaceutical companies are not eligible for funding.
- Federally-supported research entities (i.e., NRC, NCEs, BL-NCEs, CECRs, etc.) are not eligible to receive funding through the Explore Program
The research must be performed in the provinces of Quebec and/or Ontario.
Research agenda
The research agenda extends to all scientific and technical fields related to biopharmaceutical R&D and all disciplines that could provide new cutting-edge technologies, computational tools, novel approaches, techniques and devices for biopharmaceutical research. The scope includes (without limitation): biological and health sciences, chemistry, engineering, nanotechnologies, computational sciences, medical devices, imaging, biosensors, etc.
A list of areas of activities that can be funded by the Explore program is provided on CQDM's Web site at
Funding specifics
Maximum 2 years (to be started after April 1st, 2016 and completed by March 31st, 2018) .
Total amount
Grants will be for a maximum of $300,000 over a two-year period. The amount requested must be well justified and will be taken into account in the final selection of the projects.
Eligible costs
- Salary of research personnel necessary for the project (students, post-doctoral fellows, and technical/professional assistants);
- Material and laboratory supplies including services provided by third party suppliers necessary for the realisation of the project;
- Travel expenses (field work and collaborations);
- Administrative costs (overhead), up to 15% of the eligible research expenses.
Non eligible costs
- Equipment or facilities (purchase or rental);
- Salary of the principal investigator and co-investigators.
Evaluation process
The funding will be awarded following the submission of a full application using a competitive process in two stages: 1. Pre-screen and 2. Final Selection.
Applicants must submit a full application, which includes in its first 3 sections with 3 pages on the summary/impact analysis/innovation aspects of the project (using the form available on CQDM and OCE's websites at www.cqdm.org and www.oce-ontario.org), by September 4, 2015.The sections 1-3 which include a summary/impact analysis/innovative aspecst will first be assessed by a selection committee composed of members from CQDM's Explore Advisory Committee and OCE representatives (for projects based at Ontario academic institutions). This committee will select approximately 15-17 applications which will be reviewed in their entirety and from which the final selection of funded projects will be made.This pre-screen selection will be based mainly on the project's potential disruptive impact on the drug R&D process.
Please note that sections 1 to 3 of the full application will be the only part of the full application which will be assessed to determine which projects undergo the final selection process (see details in next section).
The Explore program aims to support new and unconventional technologies with the potential to bring a breakthrough that can unprecedentedly increase, improve or enhance the productivity of biopharmaceutical research. Applicants should ensure that they discuss the specific industrial challenges they are tackling, and describe the potential impact that their technology will have on the drug R&D process within the 3 pages summary/impact/innovation document.
The innovative and unique character of the project will be evaluated according to the originality and novelty of the technology. It is highly important to compare the proposed technology to ongoing or existing research at the local and international level. Please identify the technologies that address the same goals you are trying to achieve, then highlight the differentiating factors and added value of the technology generated from your project. The focus should be on the scientific aspects of the technologies and not on the excellence of the team or facilities.
Final Selection
For the approximately 15-17 applications which proceed to full review, the full applications will be evaluated by an international committee under the responsibility of the FRQS (Fonds de la Recherche du Québec – Santé) taking into account the scientific soundness of the application. In parallel, a risk analysis will be performed by CQDM (and OCE, when applicable). The results of both assessments will be presented to the selection committee, comprised of CQDM pharma partners, as well as representatives from CQDM and OCE.This selection committee will make recommendations to OCE's Internal Review Panel (for projects based at Ontario academic institutions) and CQDM's Board of Directors which, in turn, will make the final selection of the research projects to be funded under the Explore program.
CQDM (in partnership with OCE, for projects based at Ontario academic institutions) will notify the applicants whose project has been awarded.
Licensing policy
- A research agreement must be signed by all research entities involved in the project within 2 months after the funding confirmation;
- Intellectual property generated under this funding program will be managed according to the policies of the financial partners involved;
- A license option will be granted to the CQDM industrial sponsors (the parent organization and its subsidiaries) for the use of all the results for R&D purposes only. The main conditions of the end-user license option will be negotiated before the beginning of the project and will take into account pre-existing IP as well as contribution from each party;
- CQDM industrial sponsors will have no rights to commercialize the IP resulting from the project or the pre-existing IP.

`Planning fast-track court to try Vaishnavi murder culprits`
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K
Rosaiah on Tuesday said the government was considering setting up a
fast-track court to try the case related to the "gruesome"
murder of 9-year-old Naga Vaishnavi in Vijayawada.
Addressing a press conference after a high-level
review meeting with Home Minister P Sabita Reddy, DGP R R
Girish Kumar and other top police officials here, the Chief
Minister termed the murder as "most gruesome" and said the
government would bring culprits to book.
Vaishnavi was kidnapped and murdered on January 30
allegedly by her close relatives in Vijayawada.
"Rather than trying the case under Criminal Procedure
Code in the normal course, we are planning to set up a
fast-track court to ensure speedy disposal of the case. In
fact, there is such public outcry against this brutal act that
everyone is demanding that the government eliminate the
culprits in an encounter. But, we will have to go by the law,"
the Chief Minister observed.
He said Vaishnavi was previously kidnapped in 2004 as
well but her family "settled" the issue privately and secured
her release.
"Even this time, her father Prabhakar did not so much
cooperate with the police in cracking the case. Unfortunately
Prabhakar too died of heart-attack following the shock caused
by his daughter`s death," Rosaiah pointed out.
The state government sent Revenue Minister Dharmana
Prasada Rao, Animal Husbandry Minister K P Sarathy and
`Arogyasri` Minister P Satyanarayana to Vijayawada to console
Vaishnavi`s family.

CAPM is one way to value securities. One of the drawbacks to
CAPM is that it is deciding inputs for risk-free rates and market
premiums. It seems that there are many opinions on which numbers to
use. I used the 10-year treasury rate as the risk-free rate and
10.7 percent as the expected return of the market based on
historical data and academic research.

Left beautiful Bordeaux at 8ish. Generally our mornings run something like this, you get a wake up call at 6.30 bags outside your room at 7.15 and on the bus at 8. We were all so bright eyes and bushy tailed the first couple of days now 5 days in and the novelty has certainly worn off, yesterday one of our couples slept in and were in a mad rush to …

As I put my feet on the floor this morning the White Snake song blasted through my head...here I go again on my own... It turned out the entire day was filled with songs popping in and out of my head.
I was looking forward to a short day today...only 21.1kms. I'd decided to savour this one because the next two days are going to be long with distances of 29kms and 30kms respectively.

We made our way to the course, a series of narrow cobblestone streets that were lined by hundreds of people on the barriers and in the balconies above, and found a spot to sit down and wait. The waiting took forever. The actual run didn't start until 8am. I think this waiting was probably the worst part. Every possible scenario ...

"OK job but HORRIBLE and UNCARING management. "
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I worked at United Blood Services full-time (More than 3 years)
Decent pay, reasonable benefits, frequent raises. Rewarding. Good training program. You could spend a lot of time traveling so you will really get to know your co-workers and make some lasting friendships. The only reason I stayed for so long was I had the greatest co-workers!
Ridiculous time and attendance policies. Never able to use PTO time. Very hard to schedule anything because your schedule is never set. Management is my biggest complaint; lots of back-stabbing, and attacking by supervisors. Supervisors will throw you under the bus in a minute. If you share your opinion it is called insubordination. Forced to drive in hazardous weather conditions b/c blood drives are never cancelled. We had to drive in blizzards, on flooded road (literally under water) . . . crazy.
Advice to Management
Mgmt needs to go back in the trenches. They need to remember how hard the work is and appreciate the techs who do all of the actual work.

It is income during a time when finding a job may be hard to do. Simple as that. Not a career.
Long hours, inconsistent hours, very strict attendance policy (pray you don't have a sick kid), low pay for hard work.
Advice to Management
Your position does not entitle you to strut like a peacock. Be seen, offer advice instead of only being seen when you are firing someone.

Assisting in a very SMALL way in ensuring valley hospitals were fully stocked with blood products and had an adequate blood supply.
This is not a NOT FOR PROFIT company per se, lets get real, the division, Blood Services, is yes however, the all encompassing parent company, Blood Systems Inc, is a money making machine. Treatment of the employees go way beyond brutal. Long hours, low pay, intolerable working conditions.

Spend some time in the trenches to see whats really going on ... you lose a lot a REALLY GOOD people because of the foolishness of others.

Don't Die Working injured
Relevant offers
Don't Die Working broke a pedal bone at Ascot Park on Saturday and will be rested for six to nine months.
He pulled up sore in 11th place in the Dr Peter Findlayson Pace at the Northern Southland Trotting Club meeting. X-rays confirmed the injury in the off fore leg.
Branxholme co-trainer Ron McEwan said yesterday Don't Die Working would be in a loose box for six weeks and then X-rayed. If the healing is on track, Don't Die Working will be moved to a small paddock. He has won two of his past four starts.
The connections of Jango Fett are hoping he can give them their second Southern Supremacy Stakes win.
Jango Fett recorded his fifth win from 11 starts in Saturday's Waipounamu and Waimea Contracting Ltd Pace at Ascot Park. He is raced from Kirk Larsen's Branxholme stable by Larsen's wife, Michelle, and Lynette Philpott and her nephew David Hardie, of Sydney.
The owners won the 2003 Southern Supremacy Stakes with Howard Bromac. This year's renewal is at Ascot Park on Sunday.
Jango Fett lugged out and got held up in the run home at Winton on March 15. Larsen added a running pole and an outrigger bit for Saturday's race.

Carmen Rasmusen Herbert: Families battling depression need love, time, understanding
Eric Risberg, AP
I'm going to start off with a huge disclaimer: I am not a health care professional. I don't know the proper way to diagnose a person with depression or exactly how or why a person may be more at-risk for such a difficult, often lifetime mental disorder.
But the subject of depression is on my mind because of the news of actor/comedian Robin Williams' tragic death due to suicide.
I am a daughter of a doctor, a psychiatrist, who, in my book, is one of the most understanding and brilliant docs out there.
Growing up, I always struggled with intense emotions. I would get really, really obsessive about things that most people would be able to shrug off, such as getting a new haircut, or falling asleep and wondering if I left the closet door open, or not being able to let go of a rude comment a "friend" made at school. Sometimes I didn't know how to handle my emotions, and I would stew about them for so long that my mom would tell me to go upstairs and hit my pillow.
Funny looking back now, I wonder why I never really sat down and talked with my dad about my obsessive fear of tornadoes, ghosts and basements. My parents were always there, willing to help and talk with me, but I often resisted, insisting everything was OK. It was just part of who I was.
These little obsessive characteristics haven't overtaken my life or turned into a major depressive disorder. But for many people, clinical depression is a battle to be fought over and over again, each time carving out deep crevices on their heart.
We hear people say all the time, "Ugh, I'm just so depressed!" — throwing that word around like it's just a feeling or emotion that comes and goes with the closing of another "Downton Abbey" season.
But it's not.
Clinical depression is a biochemical brain disorder. My father was able to help me understand the brain a little better, and that there is absolutely no shame in taking care of the most important organ in your body — the "head of the house," so to speak.
In my feeble attempt to translate my father's medical speak, basically when a person is diagnosed with depression, it means the brain is deficient in one of three neurotransmitters that are responsible for a person's mood: serotonin, dopamine and/or norepinephrine. When the brain becomes deficient, depression sets in, through no fault of the person suffering.
"You don't see past the next corner," my father says. "You can't think long-term. It limits your ability to proceed down the road. It's utter hopelessness."
It doesn't matter what favorable circumstances are going on in your life. It doesn't matter how much money you have, if you are successful or if you have a wonderful, stable family. Depression can strike anyone, anytime.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spoke about depression in his October 2013 General Conference talk, "Like a Broken Vessel."
"We sense the complexity of such matters when we hear professionals speak of neuroses and psychoses, of genetic predispositions and chromosome defects, of bipolarity, paranoia and schizophrenia," Elder Holland said. "However bewildering this all may be, these afflictions are some of the realities of mortal life, and there should be no more shame in acknowledging them than in acknowledging a battle with high blood pressure or the sudden appearance of a malignant tumor."
Sometimes, well-meaning family and friends try to "talk a person out of" their depression, thinking if they can just get them to change their attitude, things will get better.

Maternity shots are tricky business. I find that I am most drawn to images that are natural and not over done. Too fussy and overly thought out bump photos make me nervous! When the lovely and talented Belle offered to take maternity portraits I jumped at the chance. I am drawn to her style and beautiful creativity and I felt confident she would capture my growing belly and I just how I envisioned.
"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015."
Lucas: Your dad and I bought you a turtle blimp as a "big brother" gift and I can't wait to see your reaction when you open it. I'm keep imaging how it will be when you meet your sister for the first time and it's just going to be so surreal seeing the two of you together. Soon my love!
Bebe: We are about to enter the one week countdown and we just can't wait to have you in our arms. Braxton hicks are in full effect as is heart burn and back pain. You are getting ready for your debut and with each practice contraction I feel one step closer to you.
nightie c/o belabumbum
I recently posted what I am including in my hospital bag and one of the items is this beautiful hospital gown. I wanted to share a bit more about it because it is designed and created with love by one of my very best friends and I couldn't be more proud or honored to wear it! James Fox Co. officially launched 2 weeks ago and the mama/designer behind it is my lady love, Karla Quiz, and it is named after her two beautiful daughters. A few details about the gowns:
+ they are designed to replace those frumpy hospital gowns and make you feel beautiful during a time that is highly emotional and you should be feeling your very best.
+ they are nursing friendly.
+ the fabric is soft and is perfection against your skin especially after birthing a baby (!!).
+ the back has snaps and the gown acts just a regular hospital gown would so that doctors (and machines, cords, etc.) can have easy access.
A big congratulations to my dear Karla on quite literally birthing this amazing idea, seeing it come to life, and helping to make those first moments with your new precious bebe extra special.
You can shop the entire collection here.
When H&M contacted me and asked if I would like to style Lucas in some pieces from their Summer collection it was a no brainer. I love H&M for classic staples in simple styles – no fuss, adorable, and they transition from season to season so well.
These looks were so easy to put together and were just wins all around. Lucas looked adorable, he was comfy, and we were ready for whatever the day had in store. Playground? Check! Play date? Check! A nice dinner with daddy? Check! A big thank you to H&M for thinking of us and collaborating!
Outfit #2: tee (smilar) | jeans
"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015."
Lucas: You've been calling me "mamaaaaaaa" instead of "mommyyyyy" lately in the sweetest, most adorable voice and well…what can I say except you know how to make me melt.
Bebe: 2 weeks and 4 days left until your due date my sweet little one! There's a full moon at the end of the month and I'm wondering whether you will make an early appearance.
I haven't been to Coney Island in yearssss. Our niece is visiting from Canada and exploring Coney was on her NYC bucket list so off we went on the N train with our bags packed with sunscreen, shovels, and snacks. First thing. THE CROWDS. Wow! I can't remember the last time we were around so many people. Second thing. The colors. The people. Talk about intense yet awesome stimulation. We parked ourselves by the kiddie sand park and spent about 2 hours on the beach before heading to the boardwalk. Lucas had a blast – especially when he joined in what seemed to be a day time trance/techno party going on by Luna Park. We finished off the day at the Smorgasbord with amazing french fries and mofongo (smashed plantain). We probably won't be back this summer..with less than 4 weeks to go until baby makes her appearance it just does't seem doable..but we will definitely be back during the fall and next summer with two little ones in tow.
"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015."
Lucas: You are asking when the baby is coming. Sometimes you announce "in 3 hours mama!" (which freaks me out!) and other times you are right on the ball with "3 weeks!".
Bebe: Your movements are becoming more wave like rather than vigorous kicking and the doctor assured me all is well..you just don't have as much room anymore in your comfy, temporary home. 36 weeks and counting!
We're in the home stretch and I truly can't believe it. It's funny how the pregnant mind works because in the last week my energy levels have shifted from 0 to 100 and I have officially entered the nesting zone. Cleaning every nook, making lists, crossing things off, making new lists, and packing. We have four weeks left but quite a few mamas have been telling me the second baby sometimes likes to make an early appearance and well, its better to be prepared than scrambling to throw things in a bag at the last minute. Right? Right.
One of my main priorities (after having a safe birth and delivering my healthy baby of course) is having appropriate nursing gear and comfortable clothing options that still make me feel put together as visitors and family come to see the baby and I. I'm so in love with this nursing bra from Destination Maternity - I adore the color and the fit is perfect and insanely comfortable. It's pretty enough that I don't mind having it show under a robe (like this one shown above! also, the dark color will hide any stains.) as well as keeping it on through the night. I also love this nursing bra for when we leave the hospital. It's a bit more structured and I feel more dressed when wearing it.
I will also be packing these black leggings, comfy white tees (preferably with a deep v-neck – I'm using my hubby's), and a light sweater/kimono for walking the halls.
A few other essentials:
+ My bag!
+ Honest nipple balm for soothing the boobies. I'm hoping for a quick latch and a little baby girl who loves her mamas milk!
+ Witch hazel (for my lady bits..). Applying this was such a relief after my labor and recovery with Lucas. You can also get astringent pads and chill them in the fridge.
+ Bag of toiletries: body wash (I've been using this one and love it), toothbrush, toothpaste, unscented lotion, face wash, dry shampoo, hair brush, bobby pins, a few hair ties, and deodorant.
+ Speaking of lady bits – undies. I am purchasing a pack (these are so comfy) that I don't mind tossing.
+ This beautiful delivery gown from James Fox Co.
+ A small make-up bag with just the essentials in case I have the energy to spruce up for visitors and photos. I'm packing powder, blush, concealer, and chap-stick. Just the basics.
+ Rubber flip flops/2 pairs of socks.
+ Camera and camera charger.
+ Cell phone charger.
I'll be leaving the bag ready to go in our bedroom along with a written list for my hubby or my mama – depending on when baby girl decides it's show time. I hope this list is helpful and if you think I'm missing anything please let me know! Good luck to all my expecting mamas!
Classic pieces that are timeless will always have my heart. Does it get any better than beautiful knits lovingly made in Spain? I think not. La Coqeuta has become one of my very favorite brands and they have such an amazing selection for both Lucas and my little princess on the way.

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
801 PM EDT Wednesday Jul 29 2015
a weak cold front will approach the area from the northwest on
Thursday and settle southeast of the region on Friday. The front and
associated deeper moisture will likely remain confined toward the
southeast coastline through the weekend...with slightly cooler
temperatures expected over the forecast area. Low level moisture
will gradually return early next week.
Near term /through Thursday/...
as of 755 PM EDT Wednesday...as expected...convective coverage has
diminished with further clearing expecting through middle evening with
heating/instability loss. Thus made slight tweaks to account for
such along with current radar trends which indicate only a few
remaining shra/tsra. Also adjusted temperatures and dewpoints to
account for most recent observation...especially for locations that saw
earlier precipitation. Otherwise...forecast remains on track thus no other
changes needed/made at this time.
Previous discussion...
As of 225 PM...radar shows scattered showers/thunderstorms aligned along
the Blue Ridge and also over the southern upstate along an axis of
higher cape. Cells exhibiting only slow movement to the southeast. With
precipitation. Water around 2 inches...locally heavy rain/flooding is the
main threat this afternoon. Cams indicate that some scattered convection
may linger into the evening hours...but it should dissipate by
In regard to the big picture for the short term. An upper low
deepening over the Hudson Bay will promote falling heights across the
eastern U.S. This will drive a cold front southeast which will approach the
NC mountains by 12z Thursday. The front will then proceed to cross
the western Carolinas and NE Georgia on Thursday.
In regard to the sensible weather...the overnight will feature
partly cloudy and humid conditions with some locally dense valley
fog developing in the mountains after midnight...and mainly just
light fog outside the mountains. Some showers/storms associated with
the approaching cold front may reach the mountains early Thursday
morning...so have probability of precipitation increasing into the chance category there.
Frontal convergence combined with the falling heights should lead to
scattered to numerous thunderstorms developing across the area during
Thursday with the best coverage during the afternoon outside the
mountains. Strong heating and improving lapse rates may support a
few severe storms Thursday afternoon. Storm Prediction Center has most of the area
outside the mountains in a marginal risk for Thursday. Temperatures
will remain above climatology with lows in the 60s mountains to low 70s
elsewhere...and highs from the middle 80s mountains to the lower to middle
90s elsewhere.
Short term /Thursday night through Saturday/...
as of 230 PM Wednesday...the big story for the short term period
will be the establishment of an eastern long wave trough...with the
axis of said trough expected to set up along the East Coast by early
in the period. This should allow the frontal boundary...and
attendant convection to be carried southeast of the forecast area
Thursday evening. While thickness values will not change much in the
wake of the boundary...essentially resulting in near-climatology temperatures
through the period...the main impact will be the introduction of an
unseasonably dry air mass. In fact...dewpoints may mix out well into
the 50s Friday afternoon. The result will be virtually no positive
buoyancy... as depicted by the latest runs of the NAM and the GFS.
Probability of precipitation will therefore be features well below climatology...and in fact below
20 percent across the majority of the forecast area Friday afternoon
and evening. Not much change in the air mass is anticipated through
Saturday...and probability of precipitation remain at 20 percent or less during the
afternoon and evening. Overall...it/S shaping out to be a decent
weekend as far as early August GOES.
Long term /Saturday night through Wednesday/...
as of 205 PM Wednesday...the medium range forecast picks up at 00z on
Sunday with broad upper troffing over the eastern Continental U.S. And broad
upper ridging in place over the western Continental U.S.. this pattern is
expected to remain in place through most of the period with some
deamplification of the upper trough expected by the end of the period
next Wednesday. At the surface...high pressure centered to our northwest will
be over the forecast area at the start of the period and should linger
into early next week...gradually getting weaker. The European model (ecmwf) still
tries to spin up some sort of surface low to our south early in the
period...yet the GFS continues to supress any low development.
Towards the very end of the period on day 7...the long range
guidance suggests that another Canadian surface high will begin to move
into the region from the northwest. As for the sensible forecast...we can
expect mostly diurnal chances for scattered convection each day/evening
with the best chances over the southeast zones. Chances increase a bit for
Tuesday and Wednesday over the northwest zones with better low level convergence
expected. Temperatures will start out right around normal and remain near
normal...if not a few degrees above...through the period.
Aviation /00z Thursday through Monday/...
at kclt...VFR conditions will prevail through this taf cycle with
the possible exception of early morning MVFR br. Initialized taf
with vcsh to account for current rain showers coverage west of the terminal
along with few low VFR clouds. Expecting improving conditions with
heating loss into middle evening thus high clouds prevail through much
of the overnight. Guidance favors MVFR visb with another bout of
low VFR stratus just before daybreak as the moist planetary boundary layer decouples.
VFR will return afterward with a cold frontal passage being the primary focus
of the taf on Thursday. Kept winds SW under developing low VFR cumulus
ceilings through midday before veering flow northwest as the front intrudes
along with thunderstorms and rain mention in the form of prob30.
Elsewhere...VFR through the first few hours of the taf cycle before
guidance favors deteriorating visb at all sites aside for kavl where
both visb/ceilings will fall. As the bl decouples around or just after
midnight expecting the a fore mentioned restrictions to
commence...thus tafs feature MVFR visb at all SC sites with tempos
for IFR at the NC sites through daybreak. As with kclt above...the
primary focus for the taf on Thursday will be the passage of a weak
cold front and any convection it initiates. Therefore all sites see
prob30s for thunderstorms and rain with timing adjustments according to latest cam
guidance. Winds will initialize out of the SW before veering northwest at
around 4-7kts by early afternoon at all sites.
Outlook...high pressure with build in behind a passing cold front
late on Thursday allowing for generally dry and quiet weather
through the weekend. Chances for showers/thunderstorms and thus
restrictions will return for the start of the new work week.
Confidence table...
00-06z 06-12z 12-18z 18-00z
kclt high 100% high 88% high 97% high 100%
kgsp high 100% high 94% high 97% high 100%

Haredi man near a bus 311.
(photo credit:(Marc Israel Sellem/The Jerusalem Post))
A female soldier who was called "slut" and a "shiksa" by extremist haredim last
December after refusing to move to the back of a "mehadrin" bus reentered the
public sphere this week when she was featured in a modeling campaign from
well-known Israeli model agency owner Adi Barkan.Some of the
ultra-Orthodox forums online called the publication of Doron Matalon's photos "a
direct provocation" and accused her of using the shiksa incident for her own
benefit.On December 29, 2011, the 19-year-old soldier was sitting in
uniform towards the front of bus No. 49, which runs from the northern Neveh
Ya'acov neighborhood through Ramat Eshkol toward the haredi neighborhood of
Sanhedria.According to police, a man in haredi garb asked Matalon to
move to the back of the bus.When she ignored him, he reportedly called
her a slut and continued to harass her.Matalon told reporters that other
men started joining in, calling her "slut" and "shiksa" and insisting she move
to the back of the bus, until the driver called the police."It was very
frightening," Matalon told Israel Radio, adding that she had replied to the man,
"You can move to the back if you want. Just like you don't want to see my face,
I don't want to see yours."Shlomo Fuchs, 44, was arrested and indicted
for sexually harassing Matalon, though he maintained during police proceedings
that women have no right to sit in mixed seating and the action against him was
the result of anti-haredi bias."If we're in a democratic society, it
shouldn't be that people can yell at you when you get on the bus because of the
way you're dressed," Adi Barkan told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. "She's not
a shiksa, she's not any more impure than you, and however she chooses to go you
need to respect this. I don't hear people yelling at religious women because of
the way that they're dressed," he said.Barkan dismissed claims that
Matalon decided to pursue a modeling career in order to provoke the haredim, or
that the model exaggerated the shiksa incident in order to launch that career.
Matalon signed with Barkan 16 months ago but is only working with him part-time
while she is in the army. Barkan added that Matalon turned down an offer to work
in Milan as a model for six months that would have required her to postpone her
army service.Barkan is best known as the force behind the "photo shop
law" an initiative to cut down on eating disorders among models, that requires a
healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) for all models, which will go into effect in
January.The shiksa incident came at a time of increased tensions between
extremist haredim and the rest of the Israeli public, who were shocked by
similar attacks on Natalie Moshiach traveling on the Ashdod- Jerusalem line, and
eight-yearold Naama Margolese who was terrified to walk to school because of
haredi protesters outside her elementary school.Two days after Fuchs
harassed Matalon, thousands of haredim gathered in Kikar Shabbat, some dressed
in Holocaust- style prisoner outfits, to protest the "persecution" against
haredim that they claimed was similar to the treatment of Jews in Europe in
World War II.Because it serves primarily Orthodox neighborhoods, the No.
49 bus is one of the lines considered "de facto mehadrin," meaning men sit in
the front and women sit in the back.In January 2011, the High Court of
Justice accepted the recommendations of the Transportation Ministry, mandating
that seating on Egged buses be completely voluntary. The passengers may decide
to sit separately according to gender, but it is illegal for passengers to force
someone to sit in a specific part of the bus.

This hotel was under construction or remodeling while we were there woken up every morning weekdays at 6:15 - once at 4:15a right outside our window on an upper floor- we did ask to be moved since we paid for ten days and think we got the worst of it cause we used Expedia - we saw others Put on the lake side that had shorter stays and paid less - the parking lot was a big sty - construction debris and trash all over where they were working and with s lot of the lot blocked for the heavy machinery - little available on weekends - the restaurants were ok could not get a seat on the deck. The room was very nice and despite the promises and absolute disregard for our concerns by the desk staff - the housekeeping was very good- the lobby great with all the animals and the location perfect - near the airport but not a sound and none from the floatplanes either - don't stay until the have completed the renovation and don't expect any real answers/help from the front desk

Urine on the toilet and awful customer servicePosted Jul 16, 2015
After a very long travel day, I checked in at 11:30pm. I changed my clothes and went into the bathroom only to find urine on the toilet seat! Since I was already undressed, I called down to the front desk expecting an apology and an offer to bring a key to a new room. Instead the young woman insisted she couldn't bring keys to me and that I needed to get dressed and come down to the lobby. I explained that I had meetings the next morning and needed to get some sleep and still she said no. She then told me she'd call me back but never did. I waited 20 minutes. This hotel was also under construction, which they failed to mention! Very disappointing!

Excellent location,Posted Jul 12, 2015
Pros: Friendly staff, convenient location very close to airport and float planes. New amenities on the way.
Location: Several resturants in walking distance. I didn't eat in the hotel
Stayed one night on my way to a vacation outside of Anchorage. The hotel was in the midst of a name change and some remodeling but neither were any inconvenience. Shuttle and van drivers went out of their way to get me places during my short stay. Would certainly recommend to anyone. Good place!

Misleading and does carePosted Jul 11, 2015
Pros: The restaurant served pretty good food even though the view was marginal.
Cons: Issues with the shuttle as noted above, the wet dog hair smell in the hallways, retraining of all of the front desk staff and more..
Location: There was nothing around the hotel expect the path around the lake which is why the shuttle was needed.
First thing is that this hotel is under construction, under new management, still smells like wet dog in the corridors (yes, they allow pets) and finally it is NOT Lakefront, in fact there is are residential homes between the hotel and the lake. Rooms can identified as "lakeside" or "parking lot side" so you look on the other side of some else's backyard to a glimpse of the lake. When we called the hotel the bus left the airport, downtown and railroad station without us. That's right 3 times we had to wait for them to go back to the hotel and them send someone to pick us up (there were only 2 of us and we called to confirm). Nothing like the front desk personnel laughing about the incident every time (must happen all of the time). We paid too much to get to choice between having the window air conditioner on to cool the room or the blinds shut so that the omnipresent light does not come into the room until 1AM in the morning (pick 1). Caveat emptor, we will never be back.

Restaurant Service is shoddy but room was nicePosted Jul 8, 2015
Pros: The room was very comfortable and clean. The sheets were vastly better than the Sheraton Spa & Resort across town where we began our stay (and left)
Cons: SERVICE IN THE RESTAURANT.
Location: Very close to fantastic walking / hiking / biking / picnicking in Kinkaid Park.
Although the room was very clean and comfortable, and the black out curtains were perfect, our stay was marred by the poor service in the restaurant. Note: while the hotel claims to have 3 restaurants, this is deceptive. They have one restaurant, with attached bar and patio -- it is 3 eating areas in 1 restaurant, best indicated by the fact there is just one menu. No complaints about that, however. But, when it came to service, the restaurant blew it. During the normal weekend breakfast period of 9 AM, when the restaurant was not even busy (less than a quarter occupied), we were ignored for 20 minutes, despite trying to flag down our waiter. We finally decided to move to another table, and told our waiter we were moving to the patio to get service. He said "ok" and nothing else. We moved to the patio (where we had eaten breakfast the day before) and sat there for another 10 minutes, getting up to pour ourselves more coffee from the server's station, which other servers clearly saw. We had the eye of several of them and no one said anything. When we finally got up to walk out, unhappy and hungry, we stopped at the front to tell them we were leaving and pay for the coffee. At that point, we were told, "the patio is closed this morning." That was it. When we pointed out we hadn't gotten service INSIDE before we moved outside, the main server shrugged and said, "sorry." Neither she, nor the other server beside her even offered to reseat us, serve us breakfast.

"Remember, Jesus, your safe word is 'marmalade'."By my estimation, our readers here at Something Awful are about 90% atheists, which might indicate that an article about crosses and their meaning is not really an appropriate topic. Lecture me about logic all you want, Dr. Spock, it's not going to change the fact that you were probably raised Christian.
These are the icons and symbols that have surrounded your life. They terrified you as a child, they symbolized your boredom as a teenager, and they have driven you back from the threshold ever since you received the crimson kiss of eternal life.
"But," you may ask, "what is there to be said about the cross? It's just two perpendicular lines, that is mega boring!"
Whoa, whoa, whoa there, King of Mathmagic Land, that's just one type of cross. There are all kinds of crosses in use by the many branches of the great tree of Christianity. If you think you can live without this information, fine, go on and bury your head in the evolutions, Ostrich Darwin. For those of you with a sense of intellectual curiosity, I bring you the Wide World of Crosses!
Probably the most popular form of the cross is the simple and unadorned cross, referred to here as "The Basic Cross." A silver or gold cross is frequently seen dangling in the cleavage of teenage girls and is effective at repelling vampires and speed-dating atheists. It is the cross of choice among Christians who want to demonstrate their Christianity, but don't want to over think it or get too showy. Be warned! Magically animated Pharaohs are immune to its effects and may attempt lethal frottage, as proven by the titular character in The Mummy.
Gore-worshipping Catholics, apparently incapable of extrapolating the function of a device from its appearance, are in love with Jesus being graphically brutalized on their crosses. Even their version of The Basic Cross features a tiny silver or gold Jesus slowly bleeding out into the soil of Calvary as his emaciated frame bakes under the hot sun. If the stained glass, Latin, giant ceilings, robes, chanting, and burning incense weren't enough to convince you that Catholicism is serious as fuck, then maybe that giant statue of Jesus covered in blood will get the point across.
Still not there yet? Well, get ready, they're about to make you cannibalize his flesh and blood! The next time Christmas rolls around put on your Space Marine costume and head to the midnight mass, because Catholicism is just like you're living in Warhammer 40,000, only there are a few less flying skulls.
This Halloween, the most terrifying house for policemen is opening its doors. If you're a cop, get ready to have nightmares!
Ariana Grande? No way! Here's a podcast that looks squarely at Ariana Grande and says, 'No way!'
Blood spills, dwarves cavort and intrigue abounds as this epic tale reaches its dramatic conclusion!
League of Legends has 600 characters and 11,000 skills. These are the only ones you need.
The water got bigger? my sand castle was destroyed and we had to move. Who did this?
The Something Awful front page news tackles anything both off and on the Internet. Mostly "on" though, as we're all incredible nerds.

The Nation's Crucible: The Louisiana Purchase and the Creation of Americaby Peter J. Kastor
In 1803 the United States purchased Louisiana from France. This seemingly simple acquisition brought with it an enormous new territory as well as the country's first large population of nonnaturalized Americans--Native Americans, African Americans, and Francophone residents. What would become of those people dominated national affairs in the years that followed. This book chronicles that contentious period from 1803 to 1821, years during which people proposed numerous visions of the future for Louisiana and the United States. The Louisiana Purchase proved to be the crucible of American nationhood, Peter Kastor argues. The incorporation of Louisiana was among the most important tasks for a generation of federal policymakers. It also transformed the way people defined what it meant to be an American.

Natural Disasters (7th edition)by Patrick Leon Abbott
Natural Disasters, 7th edition, focuses on how the normal processes of the Earth concentrate their energies and deal heavy blows to humans and their structures. It is concerned with how the natural world operates and, in so doing, kills and maims humans and destroys their works. Throughout the book, certain themes are maintained: energy sources underlying disasters plate tectonics and climate change; earth processes operating in rock, water, and atmosphere; significance of geologic time; complexities of multiple variables operating simultaneously; detailed and readable case studies.
Natural Hazard Mitigationby Alessandra Jerolleman John J. Kiefer
One of the four core phases of emergency management, hazard mitigation is essential for reducing disaster effects on human populations and making communities more resilient to the impacts of hazards. Presenting an up-to-date look at the changing nature of disasters, Natural Hazard Mitigation offers practical guidance on the implementation and selection of hazard mitigation programs and projects. Based on real-world applications, the book includes case studies that present a thorough explanation of the various issues involved. The contributors describe the value and potential of mitigation efforts and explain how to convince public officials and communities of that value. They also discuss how to better involve the community and uniquely tailor solutions to regional and local situations. The book begins with an overview of the history of hazard mitigation with a focus on the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. It examines where hazard mitigation fits into emergency management and addresses some of the challenges that can arise in navigating the various intergovernmental relationships involved in hazard mitigation. The remaining chapters explore: Public-private partnerships for hazard mitigation at the local level The role currently played by the private sector and how communities can best make use of contractors How to maximize the use of the National Flood Insurance Program and the Community Ratings System Risk communications as a key component of encouraging hazard mitigation Legal issues relevant to hazard mitigation Ways to actively engage the community and how to advocate for hazard mitigation policy How state and local governments can promote and fund mitigation without utilizing federal dollars The challenges associated with volunteers and how to best make use of this resource The area analysis as an innovative means of addressing flood risk at the block or neighborhood level The book includes learning objectives, key terms, and end-of-chapter questions to enhance comprehension. It concludes with a discussion of tools that local practitioners can use and provides an appendix with additional links and resources. This volume is an essential reference for both students and professionals in the ongoing effort to better prepare communities against the effects of natural hazards.

The Nature Of Love: The Modern Worldby Irving Singer
In the third volume, Singer examines the pervasive dialectic between optimistic idealism and pessimistic realism in modern thinking about the nature of love. He begins by discussing "anti-Romantic Romantics" (focusing on Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Tolstoy), influential nineteenth-century thinkers whose views illustrate much of the ambiguity and self-contradiction that permeate thinking about love in the last hundred years. He offers detailed studies of Freud, Proust, Shaw, D. H. Lawrence, and Santayana, and he maps the ideas about love in Continental existentialism, particularly those of Sartre and de Beauvoir. Singer finally envisages a future of cooperation between pluralistic humanists and empirical scientists. This last volume of Singer's trilogy does not pretend to offer the final word on the subject, any more than do most of the philosophers he discusses, but his masterful work can take its place beside their earlier investigations into these vast and complex questions.

Now what? Short this stock cause it stinks just like its Sears and JCPenney!
this was a legend of the American clothing retailer cos, but thing have changed over the years as the visionary Donald fisher has been long gone.
Gap's name brand causes confusion amongst the millenials with their stores named with the brand of clothes, I only go there to buy cheap gift clothes, but now personally I would buy a tshirt or item from H&M.
The closing of stores is the first sign of troubles. Once people see that, even more they don't want to associate with wearing the brand. I would be on the short side of this equation because it is an uphill battle from here.
Remember, less stores, mean less gift cards given away since less places for the recipients to buy from
GPS is ripe for a new short position, close that many stores and maybe your comps go up, but your revenue plummets... expect a massive top-line miss next quarter, sell the rips here, and short with malice.
this is a HORRIBLE company and their stores ABSOLUTELY SUCK!!!
