The alliance will offer a complete range of services to customers for the development, scale-up, manufacturing and formulation of protein-based drug conjugates. ADC Bio will provide access to proprietary solid phase immobilization technologies for conjugation and long-term storage of ADCs whilst CARBOGEN AMCIS will focus on small to large scale GMP supply and on the formulation of ADCs. The market for ADCs is growing rapidly, with therapeutic proof of concept established through the recent approval of ADCETRIS. The commercial value of the ADC drug market is projected to reach $5 billion by 2015. Several ADCs are in late-phase trials, with over 60 in pre-clinical testing.
"CARBOGEN AMCIS' goal is to help clients to advance drug candidates through the development pipeline with greater speed by delivering innovative chemistry solutions," said Mark Griffiths, CEO of CARBOGEN AMCIS. He continued, "Through this alliance, we provide our customers access to ADC Bio's particular expertise in the conjugation of proteins and antibodies to toxins by "lock and release" technology. The partnership will enable us to provide robust and efficient processes under GMP at multiple scales, which presents a significant new service offering for ADC developers and producers."
"By combining ADC Bio's step-change technology in ADC immobilisation with CARBOGEN AMCIS' impressive track record in development and manufacturing services, the two companies together can offer seamless ADC services for both development programmes and manufacturing campaigns," added ADC Bio's CEO Charlie Johnson.
ADC Bio offering:
- ADCs for primary efficacy screening;
- ADCs based on multiple toxin-linker platforms;
- Development of novel toxin-linker combinations;
- Pre-clinical supply of ADCs;
- "Lock and release" solid phase immobilisation technology;
- Scale up and tech transfer.
CARBOGEN AMCIS offering:
- Supply of GMP and non-GMP material for toxicological studies and clinical trials;
- GMP lyophilisation services;
- Fill and finish capabilities;
- Large-scale, custom manufacturing services;
- Project management;
- Regulatory support.
CARBOGEN AMCIS AG (www.carbogen-amcis.com) is a leading service provider, offering a portfolio of drug-development and commercialization services to the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry at all stages of drug development. The integrated services provide innovative chemistry solutions to support timely and safe drug development allowing customers to make the best use of available resources. CARBOGEN AMCIS AG is owned by Dishman Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals Ltd., Ahmedabad, India.
ADC Biotechnology (www.adcbio.com) is developing new technology to speed and simplify conjugation and purification processes for antibody drug conjugates. With ADCs binding to solid polymer beads, "lock and release" features fewer, faster steps than conventional processing. Benefits include higher yields, lower costs and reduced production and environmental footprints. In late 2011, after a successful proof-of-concept programme at Sheffield University, ADC Bio secured a £450,000 package of investment and grant funding, led by Finance Wales and Acceleris Ltd. The North Wales-based company was formed in September 2010.
Dishman Group (www.dishmangroup.com) is a global outsourcing partner for the pharmaceutical industry, offering a portfolio of development, scale-up and manufacturing services. Dishman Group improves its customers' businesses by providing a range of development and manufacturing solutions at locations in Europe, China and India.

Most liberals are not liberal and most conservatives are not conservative. We might be better off just calling them X and Y, instead of imagining that we are really describing their philosophies. Moreover, like most confusion, it has consequences.
The late liberal Professor Tony Judt of New York University gave this definition of liberals: "A liberal is someone who opposes interference in the affairs of others: who is tolerant of dissenting attitudes and unconventional behavior."
According to Professor Judt, liberals favor "keeping other people out of our lives, leaving individuals the maximum space in which to live and flourish as they choose."
That is certainly in keeping with the dictionary definition of liberalism and with most contemporary liberals' vision of themselves. But, if we follow Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' admonition to "think things, not words" and look beyond the label to the tangible realities of the world, we find almost the exact opposite of what the word "liberal" is supposed to mean.
Most of us would probably regard the current administration in Washington — both the White House and the Congress — as "liberal," even though the word "progressive" may be more in vogue.
Does the sweeping legislation empowering federal officials to tell doctors, patients, hospitals, and insurance companies what to do, when it comes to medical care, sound like leaving individuals the maximum space to live their lives as they choose?
Communities that have had overwhelmingly liberal elected officials for decades abound in nanny state regulations, micro-managing everything from home-building to garbage collection. San Francisco is a classic example. Among its innumerable micro-managing laws is one recently passed requiring that gas stations must remove the little levers that allow motorists to pump gas into their cars without having to hold the nozzle.
Liberals are usually willing to let people violate the traditional standards of the larger society but crack down on those who dare to violate liberals' own notions and fetishes.
Our academic institutions are overwhelmingly dominated by liberals. They feature speech codes that punish politically incorrect statements. Even to apply to many colleges and universities, students must have spent time as "volunteers" for activities arbitrarily defined by admissions committees as "community service."
As for conservatism, it has no specific political meaning, because everything depends on what you are trying to conserve. In the last days of the Soviet Union, those who were trying to maintain the Communist system were widely — and correctly — described as "conservatives," though they had nothing in common with such conservatives as William F. Buckley or Milton Friedman.
Professor Friedman for years fought a losing battle against being labeled a conservative. He considered himself a liberal in the original sense of the word and wrote a book titled The Tyranny of the Status Quo. Friedman proposed radical changes in things ranging from the public schools to the Federal Reserve System.
But he is remembered today as one of the great conservatives of our time. Great, yes. But conservative? It depends on what you mean by conservative.
Conservatism, in its original meaning, would require preserving the welfare state and widespread government intervention in the economy. Neither Milton Friedman nor most of the other people designated as conservatives today want that.
Liberals often flatter themselves with having the generosity that the word implies. Many of them might be shocked to discover that Ronald Reagan donated a higher percentage of his income to charity than either Ted Kennedy or Franklin D. Roosevelt. Nor was this unusual. Conservatives in general donate more of their income and their time to charitable endeavors and donate far more blood.
We are probably stuck with having to use words like liberal and conservative. But we can at least recognize them as nothing more than political flags of convenience. We need not accept these words literally, as the money of fools.

The Funhouse(1981)The carnival is a place for fun and laughter, but not for Amy and her friends. When their childish dare to stay all night in the spooky funhouse backfires, it leaves a trail of dismembered teenagers a mile long in Tobe Hoopers classic video nasty era slasher. For more about The Funhouse and the The Funhouse Blu-ray release, see the The Funhouse Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on October 7, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Tobe Hooper Writer: Larry Block Starring: Elizabeth Berridge, Shawn Carson, Jeanne Austin, Jack McDermott, Cooper Huckabee, Largo Woodruff » See full cast & crew The Funhouse Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Funhouse arrives on Blu-ray from Shout! Factory's new Scream! Factory label. The result is very impressive 1080p high definition transfer. Presented in its original widescreen aspect ratio, the movie looks fantastic, generally, offering very crisp, film-like details. Grain remains throughout and solidifies a pleasant, natural filmic texture. There are plenty of softer shots scattered throughout -- some blurry edges and a few smudgy details -- but it's clear that this is The Funhouse as it was intended to be seen. The image's crisp elements truly impress with natural, well-defined objects such as clothing, the Frankenstein mask, wear and tear around the carnival, and complex facial textures. Colors are largely fantastic, with oftentimes brilliant splashes to be seen all over the carnival, from bright yellows to vibrant blues. Flesh tones are accurate, and blacks are acceptable, though perhaps a little pale in places throughout what is a fairly dark movie. The image sees a few scattered white speckles and a couple of random vertical lines, but on the whole this is a very well balanced and authentic 1080p transfer of an old favorite looking better than ever on home video. The Funhouse Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Funhouse features a wonderful DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. From the great opening title music forward, this audio presentation impresses at worst and dazzles at best. That opening music plays with a big, well-spaced, and completely immersive sensation, offering precision clarity and the feel of a live performance. The carnival atmosphere proves most sonically impressive; the listener often feels completely immersed within the environment, enjoying the din of games and barkers and music scattered amongst general crowd ambience. Such scenes make use of the entire soundstage and prove enjoyable and critical both in pulling the audience into the movie and establishing the environment to enhance the terror that comes later. There are some very big, potent, and spooky sound effects -- such as booming thunder -- to be a heard during the haunted house ride. Bass is deep and aggressive but not overly so. Various mechanical sounds near the end nicely fill the soundstage and play with an evident and crucial surround element. Dialogue is clear and accurate, though microphone dialogue playing through carnival speakers comes through with an understandable, and even welcome in the name of authenticity, muffle. Overall, this is a fantastic soundtrack that serves the movie and the audience both very well.

Anyone who is a member of Borders Perks Rewards can go from their website to restaurant.com site and get a $25 gift certificate for House of Blues for $3. I just did it a few minutes ago. Here are the stipulations. Must spend at least $35 but for $13 you can get $35 worth of food. I ate there last January and the food was pretty good. From the same website (borders Perks) they are also offering buy 4 days get 3 days free including parkhopper. Price with tax was $288. I am a newbie to the board but I know how to sniff out a deal.
Last week they had House of Blues on Restaurant.com also...Got the GC for $3.00 also. I had just missed it for $2.00, but hey, $3.00 is fine by me. Unfortunately we ended up not going, but my dd and I are going in September so we will use it then. $35.00 is not hard to do. Glad you said it was good food.
You can go direct to Restaurant.com. The 70% off code is DISH. They still have ones for HoB in DTD in Anaheim (DLR). $25 cert would be $3. Good thing about the ones in California, by law, they don't expire.
Question I know someone said that in California they don't expire. Do you know if any of them expire ? Hoping to make it to WDW in Oct but may have to reschedule till 2011 just dont want to waist money.
I got an e-mail this morning from Restaurant.com and, according to the e-mail, the $3 promo code is feast. DH ate lunch at the HOB when I was working at a conference (yes, my company sends me to Disney every 2 years!) and he loved it.
thanks for posting this. we are going in sept 2010. my brother in wants to take my sister there for her birthday. this would be a great bday present for my sister! thanks again, lisa
Restaurant.com offers codes that will allow you to purchase the g.c. for $2 - they go up and down all month. If you're not going any time soon, it may be worth it to wait. A couple of times a year they actually have offered them for $1
Thank you I have been trying a long time to get it at $3. I just got your code and it worked. WOW around $13 for two adults @ WDW for a real meal.
We are going to WDW at the end of July. Does anyone know how long the certificate is good for? I tried to find an expiration date but was unsuccessful. Thanks!
Disneylove69-looks like you are going to be there at the same time we are. Thanks to both posters who provided a code. How fun!
Not quite. Don't forget that it also stipulates a 18% gratuity off the original bill, so it would be about $19 or so with gratuity. Add tax and you're over $20. Still a good deal, though!
If you are not sure when you will use them you can buy them as a gift, then choose the restaurant later. I bought some with a promo code in Oct, and went to my account today (wanted to use 1 for House Of Blues), sent it to DH's e-mail as a gift then redeemed the certificate by creating an account for him. I wasn't sure about the expiration date until I printed the certificate. The only problem with doing it this way is if the restaurant you want stops offering them before you go back & choose it.

Shortly before his death from prostate cancer in 2007, Dan Fogelberg completed his final studio album, locked it in a safe deposit box, and directed his wife to release it after his passing. Long considered one of the landmark artists of the `70s smooth singer-songwriter genre, the Illinois native released very little new material in his last decade, making the classic sound contained on LOVE IN TIME all the more welcome. Full of songs that could easily sit alongside his biggest hits such as "Longer Than," "Old Lang Syne," and "Leader of the Band," the album pairs Fogelberg's soothing voice and expert songcraft with just the right amount of subtle instrumental backing. "Come to the Harbor," with its jaunty strumming and electric sitar motif, sounds like Cat Stevens's "Peace Train" meets the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood," while "Sometimes a Song" is a quintessential Fogelberg love ballad, with a stick-in-the-head melody and spare, acoustic guitar-based accompaniment. A cover of Neil Young's "Birds" is dressed with gorgeous Eagles-esque vocal harmonies and serves as a poignant and chill-inducing closer, its final, and in this case literal, lyric, "it's over" seeming to echo long after the song ends. A gentle, finely crafted, and passionately performed album, LOVE IN TIME IS a career coda both satisfying and bittersweet. | |

Tuesday, February 05, 2013
I got nothing done around the house (if I don't get up and get moving first thing, I seem to have a terrible time becoming motivated later) and spent much of the day snuggling with Lil and cleaning up after Bean (and to the anon commenter, yes, her dresser is snug and safe and in no danger of toppling on her--thank you for asking!).
Even though he got to work early yesterday, B still wound up working late, and there was no dinner since I was unable to get to the grocery, meaning we ate whatever I could dig up around the house. By the time I got everyone in bed, I was exhausted and was out by 10:00. Brien checked his email, and he too was out like a light by 10:00. So, no wreaths were listed, and I got nothing done with Etsy yesterday. I'm hoping tonight will be better.
Lil was home again today as her fever was still 100.3 this morning. She is still feeling lightheaded and headache-y and I just feel so awful for her. It's most likely a virus that needs to run its course. So far the rest of us seem to be okay, but I'm not holding my breath. I have some sort of cold that is wearing me down, and I'm sure Bean is next. :oS
However, Lil is feeling a bit better. With Motrin, her temp is 98.9 and her headache is improved. She's actually asking for food, which I consider a good sign. Hopefully she'll wake up tomorrow and feel like her old self. :fingers crossed:
I'm looking forward to getting back into my "normal" routine to include my daily walk and getting groceries. Home cooked food...ahhhhh. I'm also trying to catch up on the laundry and get the house caught up cleaning-wise. Oy.
1. The vinegar rinse and deep conditioning I did today has left my hair feeling so soft and happy. :o)
2. Lil possibly feeling better.
3. I think it's starting to warm up a little bit out there.
4. A new Simon's Cat for you cat lovers/owners out there to enjoy:
No milestones.

So sorry to hear about Lil. Praying that this turns around soon and she is back to being healthy Lil.

Rach, I hope Lil is feeling so much better in the morning. Poor little thing.
Thanks for the SImon's cat.... I screamed with laughter. It's like feeding time at our house - except we have multiples of the little beggars scheming :-)
oh... btw... what are you using to help you embrace your curls? I've decided I need to do that for a while? embrace my curls... not yours :-) - 2/05/2013 7:13 PM

Oh, poor Lil! Maggie went back to school today after missing 3 days! Strep + sinus infection=sick kid!!!
I hope she feels better soon! - 2/05/2013 9:09 PM

Bummer dude with the sick kiddo. So sorry! Here's to hoping Lil is better soon and that her funk is hers alone. She needn't share. No! Really! No sharing, please.
- Korinthia Klein said...
We love Simon's cat. My son and I just sat at my laptop and watched at least a half dozen clips in a row.
Hope Bitty feels better soon. - 2/06/2013 12:11 AM

Poor sweet Lily, I hope she is feeling better today!
- Peg said...
So Sorry Lil is sick. Damon had the flu and had fevers for 4 days and was out for the count for a full week. It sucked. What sucked even more was getting him caught up with all the school work he missed.
I can't wait to order some cards!!
Thanks for introducing us to Simon's cat...lots of giggles last night. We regularly claim to have the best cat in the world, but boy when she is hungry she becomes the most annoying cat in the world.
Hang in there!! - 2/06/2013 9:20 AM
- Sue said...
I LOVE Simon's cat. A coworker introduced me to the comic a few months ago and I laugh every time I watch it. I hope Lily is feeling better and that no one else in your family gets sick!!! Take care.

My 7 year old "grand"had that darn bug last week.:-(
Her temp hovered around 103 for 2 days with tummy ache, headache and dizziness. Yuck. Everyone else escaped, snd I hope you are lucky like that!

Dude, you are starting to freak me out with how long it's been since you've posted. Is everyone still sick? Hope you are just having too much fun with your new Etsy store to post.

Help me RW Forumites!
Hi Guys. I have a personal proposal for you – no not that sort, a running one. This post is going to be a tad long but it has to be. Bear with me.
To get to the point I'm calling out any keen/bonkers/cold weather runners who fancy one last challenge before Christmas.
I'm part of a team called the 12in12 doing a year-long charity challenge (of which a little more below) and in December I will be taking part in an event called The Hope Tour, running 12 marathons in 12 days down the country, and I'd like to invite you to join me for some of it.
What is the 12in12?
A 12-month fundraiser. 20-odd friends have been spending the year each doing 12 hard challenges, one per month, in 2012 (hence the name) for a charity called Hope HIV. Each person has their own schedule and level of fitness. In our team we have bikers, runner, triathletes, hikers, swimmers…the list goes on.
You can find out more about us on our website here: www.the12in12.com
What is Hope HIV?
A UK based charity that helps kids in sub-Saharan Africa who have been affected by AIDS or HIV. We chose the charity for two very simple reasons
-It's not about short term disaster relief (amazing as that is) it's about helping kids to be self-sustainable and build a life for themselves.
-The charity is small, completely transparent and des not swallow sponsorship money in corporate overheads.
As of the date at the top of this blog our team has raised £97,000 this year. We want your help to get that closer to £150,000 by December 31.
What are the brief details of the Hope Tour?
The Hope Tour is my final event of 12 for the year. Every team member has made up their own schedule of events but for the December event five of us decided to team up and do something massive.
On 12/12/12 (can you spot the theme yet…?!) the five of us will set off from Harrogate, North Yorkshire. We'll finish on 23/12 on The Mall in London in front of Buckingham Palace to a reception of friends, family and media.
We have planned 12x 26.2 mile routes and will be travelling with a support team of crew, physios, masseuses, drivers and so on. Each route has been carefully planned and we will have checkpoints along the way where not only can runners stock up on fuel and get medical attention, but where other runners joining us can be picked up as we pass through.
-You can see each day's exact route on the Hope Tour tag of the 12in12 website. But the rough schedule is this:
Harrogate to Leeds 12th
Leeds to Barnsley 13th
Barnsley to Sheffield 14th
Chesterfield to Nottingham 15th
Nottingham to Loughborough 16th
Loughborough to Mkt Harborough 17th
Bedford to Cambridge 18th
Tour of Cambridge 19th
High Wycombe to Reading 20th
Reading to Windsor 21st
Windsor to Richmond 22nd
Richmond to The Mall 23rd
-We are PRing the event quite heavily and hope to attract runners throughout the country to come and join us on one of our marathons for whatever distance you can manage: 5K, 10K, 13 miles a whole marathon - or maybe even more than one – whatever you want to do. We'd ask that you either make a donation or raise a little sponsorship of your own to add to our pot and help us bump up the money raised.
What else have we done?
Hi Kerry,
What a great idea! I think you're missing a bit after "what else have we done".... but i'd be interested in possible the 22nd or 23rd with you all.
How do we sign up?
whoops good spot Emmy! Here's the rest of it...
For context, various Team 12ers this year been bog snorkelling, mountain climbing, skydiving, paddling down white water rapids on a lilo, playing football for 24 hours non-stop, trampolined for 12 hours…anything and everything. I myself this year have done five marathons, learnt to swim and done a one mile swim challenge, a six-day 120 mile run across the Colorado Rocky Mountains and a dragon boating competition amongst other things.
How can you get involved?
I've tried not to make this post too long – don't want you all falling asleep – but I know there's loads of questions any interested parties will have. You can either post below (I'll be checking several times a day) or email me at:
firstname.lastname@example.com And if you want to make a donation rather than come run then you can do so at: www.justgiving.com/KerryMcCarthy We really appreciate every single penny we're given.
Thanks a lot, Kerry
Wow..Lokks really interesting - Just about to look at the website now.
Not all the links to the routes for the individual days are working, only the last 3 days seem to be present.
Would like to see the Loughborough - Market Harborough section if you could post a direct link to it
Why does it need to be for Charadeee?
Can't it be done just for the hell of doing it; you don't need a justification.
Some questions from me:
- When would you plan to start/finish.
- What sort of pace/distances are you planning to cover in the day? Do you require a minimum pace to take part?
- What else would you want from people taking part?
Hi Guys, thanks for your responses so far. Emmy I think you sent me a direct mail so will respond to that right after this. To answer your questions above:
We are fine-tuning this at the moment - loads of planning to be done yet but each day that we finish we'll be staying in a hotel or B&B fairly close to where we finish. We will start each day at 8am and be running roughly 4:45-5 hour pace. Our plan is to run together but I'm sure as the days go by and some develop niggles, then some will speed up, some will walk etc and so on. There'll be checkpoints where runers can stop to to refuel/. We can provide free water and ForGoodness Shakes/Nectar are our official nutrition sponsor so there'll be plenty of that for those who want it.
There is NO minimum pace or level of fitness required and you don;t even have to run a full mars - whatever you want, 5k, 10 miles, anything is fine.
As we get the planning sorted we will have exact details of start and finish locations (most days there will be local press and as Mayor or two to greet us as we finish).
We don't need anything else form runers apart from a willingness to join in and rasie a bit of cash (there is no minimum amount of sponsorship required -everything is appreciated. And feel free to rope in your own friends, family and colleagues too. amnyone you think would be interested. We want to spread the word!
Gemgemx - thanks. The website is put together by us in our spare/own time so while it may not look super-slick most of the info should be there and I'm happy to answer as many queries as you may have.
Ian66 I've just been told those routes have been talken down again for tweakage bu they'll be going up again obver the course of this week. Sorry. I shall post you a direct link to the route you asked for as soon as it is up.

That's true Piers but we felt that we wanted to. Might as well have fun, challenge ourselves and do some good all at the same time...
Oh and my Twitter handle is @RWKerry in case any of you prefer to use that.
Currently working in Leeds, so look forward to seeing you for the Leed-Barnsley leg. Whether I can join you in the run is up in the air at the moment, but one way or another I'll be there
running4rwanda wrote (see)
That's awesome thanks! My email is in an above post. if you want to send me your email address I'll add you to my growing databse of interested peeps so I can send a once-a-week email of planning progress and more specific detail on the relevant legs as we get it.
as it is for charity..............can i just check..........the B&B and transport etc....is this being paid for out of the sponsorship or by RW or by the individuals doing the challenge.......
are any of the support team being paid or getting food allowance from the sponsorship money.......
thanks.i like to know all the information before i donate orriase money for a cause.
Kerrygood luck - and if I am fit enough I will happily join you on the 12th as I live in Harrogate However the main road from Harrogate to Leeds is horrendously busy in the morning and it certainly does not have a footpath alongside is for the entire route. The alternative minor road routes are also very busy with rat-run motorists and the school run traffic, none of whom seem very willing to give way for runners, so I would suggest you start a little later on your first leg - an 0930 or 1000 would see most of the heavy traffic reduced considerably. That way you have a better chance of arriving in Leeds in one piece!!!
...........can now see your proposed route and yes Pool Bank is "challenging" as is getting there from Harrogate!!!There will be no "senior" shoppers on the streets at 0800 in Harrogate - it will still be dark oop north in mid-December!!

Morning, and good question. Nopthing is being paid for out of sponsorship money. we made a decision at the start of the year that we'd either get stuff for free or foot the bill ourselves so that 100% of the money would go to the charity.
Otherwise what's the point of raising the money in the first place? You obviously agree given the question. So in this case, everything we've got so far: physio team, support crew, vehicles, kit, nutrition stuff (anything whether time or manpower or a product) has been given for free. We'll be paying for our own evening meals. We're still trying to sort a hotel chain to put us up each night so if anyone has any links to the hospitality industry and knows anybody who could help us then please do get in touch! Otherwise if we fail to get something donated we'll foot the bill for accmmmodation ourselves.

Thanks fort the advise, I'll pass that on to the rest of the team and we'll discuss. sounds like a good idea though. I know Harrogte quite well as my sister lives there (Burn Bridge). Lovely place although the much-loved Betty's has disappeared up its own bum and turned into a nightmare to get served!
Thanks Kerry for clarifying that........you are a bit far away from south wales to support but will be reading the accounts with interest......good luck
if you are interersted in joining on the 12th then do send me your email address and I'll add you to my list for once weekly updates on route planning and organisatione tc from here. Keep you abreast of things...
Thanks so far to all of you who have contacted me about taking part in some of the Hope Tiour. I'll be sending out an email update early next week to all who provided email addresses.
Have a great weekend everyone. Mine is going to be composed of training, trying to get into this Paleo diet malarkey, and coochy-cooing various friends' new babies.

Ambiguous Aggregation of Expert Opinions: The Case of Optimal R&D InvestmentStergios AthanassoglouFondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change Valentina BosettiFondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM); Bocconi University; CMCC - Euro Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change Gauthier De Maere d'AertryckeFondazione Eni Enrico Mattei February 14, 2012 FEEM Working Paper No. 4.2012 Abstract: How should a decision-maker allocate R&D funds when a group of experts provides divergent estimates on a technology's potential effectiveness? To address this question, we propose a simple decision-theoretic framework that takes into account ambiguity over the aggregation of expert opinion and a decision-maker's attitude towards it. In line with the paper's focus on R&D investment, decision variables in our model may affect experts' subjective probability distributions of the future potential of a technology. Using results from convex optimization, we are able to establish a number of analytical results including a closed-form expression of our model's value function, as well as a thorough investigation of its differentiability properties. We apply our framework to original data from a recent expert elicitation survey on solar technology. The analysis suggests that more aggressive investment in solar technology R&D is likely to yield significant dividends even, or rather especially, after taking ambiguous aggregation into account..

Mortimer Jerome Adler:An Inventory of His Papers at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center
Biographical SketchMortimer Jerome Adler, born 1902 in New York City, is an American philosopher, educator, and author. He began his career as a secretary and copywriter for the New York Sun and through a program of formal and self education was awarded a PhD from Columbia University (1928). Adler, who became associate professor there in 1930, continued to participate in the Honors program, instituted by John Erskine, which focused on the reading of the classics. His tenure at Columbia included study with such eminent thinkers as Erskine and John Dewey. This kind of environment inspired not only his interest in reading and the study of the "great" books of "Western Civilization," but his insistence on the establishment of an integrated philosophy of science, literature, and religion. It was this combination of interests that dominated his career at schools and research institutions such as the University of Chicago, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Institute for Philosophical Research, and the Aspen Institute, the last two of which he helped establish. Adler was also a board member of the Ford Foundation and the Encyclopedia Britannica, whose policies and programs he helped guide and significantly influence. In 1930 he was appointed to the Philosophy faculty at the University of Chicago. Because of the innovations he proposed for the curriculum, his appointment led to a conflict with the faculty. These changes were based on Adler's central interests in the reading, discussion and analysis of "classic" literature and an integrated philosophical approach to the study of separate disciplines. By 1931 these "interdepartmental wars" resulted in Adler's reassignment to the Law School as Professor of Philosophy of Law. While he continued his educational reforms on a more conservative basis, the concept of seminars on "great books" and "great ideas" continued to gain inroads at other universities. In 1952, his work culminated in the publication by Britannica of the "Great Books and Great Ideas" series. His earliest work resulted in the publication of Dialectic (1927), which focused on a summation of the great philosophical and religious ideas of "Western Civilization" -- ideas influenced by his fascination with medieval thought and sensibility. The work on which he had concentrated since his Columbia University days, together with a lecture series and essays produced in Chicago, resulted in several publications: The Higher Learning in America (1936), What Man Has Made of Man: A Study of the Consequences of Platonism and Positivism in Psychology (1937), Art and Prudence: A Study in Practical Philosophy (1937) and, in December 1940, How to Read a Book: The Art of Getting A Liberal Education. His interest in the liberal education of the "common man" came to fruition in How to Read a Book. How to Think About War and Peace (1943), written in the political and social climate of the Second World War, continued his advocacy of a popular, yet intelligent approach to public education. Adler met life-long friend Clifton "Kip" Fadiman in a great books seminar taught by Adler at Columbia University. Fadiman later became an editor at Simon and Schuster, a literary critic for The New Yorker as well as the author of numerous essays and books. While corresponding with Adler throughout the writing of the book, he supplied, in 1943, the preface, "A Plea to the Reader, " for How to Think about War and Peace. Adler has written voluminously throughout his career, consistently focusing on a cross-disciplinary and integrated philosophy of law, politics, religion, and education. Other books that reflect this theme include: The Common Sense of Politics (1971), Six Great Ideas: Truth, Beauty, Justice, Liberty: Ideas We Judge By, Ideas We Act On (1981), and The Paideia Program: An Educational Syllabus (1984). More recently he has been involved in creating video programs with Bill Moyers which focus on the subject of the Constitution and biographies of the justices of the Supreme Court. In 1992 he published a continuation of his autobiography Philosopher at Large (1977) entitled A Second Look in the Rearview Mirror: Further Autobiographical Reflections of a Philosopher at Large. In 1993 he published The Four Dimensions of Philosophy: Metaphysical, Moral, Objective, Categorical. The main criticism of his work remains the narrow focus and definition (Anglo-American, European and male) that he gives to "greatness." The Mortimer J. Adler Papers were donated by Adler and Fadiman to the Harry Ransom Center in two parts: the How to Read a Book papers in 1962 and the How to Think about War and Peace papers in 1963. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and ContentsThe papers of Mortimer Jerome Adler, 1939-1944 (3 boxes), consist of correspondence and manuscripts which document the writing, editing, publishing, and publication of two works, How to Read a Book (1940) and How to Think about War and Peace (1943). The papers are arranged in two series: How to Read a Book, 1939-1940 (2 boxes) and How to Think about War and Peace, 1943-1944 (1 box). Each series is divided into two subseries, correspondence and manuscripts. The bulk of the correspondence concerning How to Read a Book provides a profile of the book's production, title selection, legal matters, publicity, and sales. Adler's correspondence with M. Lincoln Schuster and Jerome Weidman, both of Simon & Schuster, and Clifton "Kip" Fadiman reflect personal as well as professional relationships. The large amount of correspondence from reviewers, educators, and general readers provides a limited sample of public reaction to the book. The correspondence is grouped within subject headings. Letters found in folders 1.1-1.3, which relate to publication and publicity, are filed chronologically, while those found in folders 1.4-1.7, comprising reviews and letters from readers, are filed alphabetically. One second printing copy and one seventh printing copy of How to Read a Book were removed from the collection and cataloged for the HRC book collection. The correspondence found in the second series, How to Think about War and Peace, is between Adler, Clifton Fadiman, and Simon & Schuster, his publishing company. This correspondence provides insight into the intellectual formulation of the book. There is, in addition, correspondence concerning Fadiman's writing and editing of the preface as well as critiques of the book from various scholars. This material is also arranged chronologically within subject headings, except for the letters between Adler and E. B. White (7 items) which have been separated from the other correspondence. One first edition has been removed and cataloged for the HRC book collection. While the bulk of these papers concern the publication and sales of How to Read a Book (1940) and How to Think about War and Peace (1943), there is also correspondence which discusses the editing and criticism of the ideas advocated in the books.
