Dear readers,

It is with great pleasure that I announce the publication of Issue XVI of Consilience: The Journal of Sustainable Development. In a time of great political turbulence, the importance of maintaining pluralistic debate increases and is further needed as an instrument of democracy and progress. With large-scale immigration escalated by war, conflict, and persecution, many countries will need to anticipate how to cope with fluctuating populations—not only in terms of the economic impact of such sudden migration but also the environmental consequences. The recent Brexit referendum introduces another element of uncertainty into both migration patterns in the European region and into the future of environmental quality controls and legislation in the UK. Given these recent events, the editing team at Consilience has curated a selection of papers for this issue that discuss sustainability in population-dense contexts that we hope will prove useful for future discourse.

Our mission remains to promote dialogue and understanding of issues in sustainable development that affect not only individual communities, but the greater collective well-being of our planet. Our authors have worked diligently to provide innovative perspectives to perpetual challenges in sustainable development. We invite you to think critically about their arguments, further our understanding of their claims, and challenge their assumptions. Through interaction between practitioners, scholars, and researchers, we hope the ensuing dialogue will offer fruitful solutions to the most pressing challenges facing our planet.

As always, we welcome constructive feedback and hope that our work inspires you to engage with the issues. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Regards,

Nikita Sivakumaran

Coastal zones in the United States are becoming overpopulated and underlying ecosystems are being degraded. The ecosystem services that coastal zones provide will be compromised if we follow the current management path. As the population in these areas increases, so too does the amount of non-point source pollution. Integrated coastal zone management programs are needed to address non-point source pollution. Coastal zones are also in peril due to the current projections of sea level rise caused by climate change. A precautionary approach, such as that employed in Australia and New Zealand, must be used to protect coastal zones from the effects of global warming. The Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) of 1972 was created to preserve and protect coastal areas from pollution and overpopulation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of the CZMA and the challenges it will face going forward.

In recent decades, the phenomena of urbanization and globalization have transformed cities into of technology, innovation, wealth and human capital. Cities have become spaces of high environmental destruction, and concurrently, frontrunner of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. The urban landscape consists of a complex network of actors, requiring an integrative and adaptive approach to be taken when considering sustainability and environmental soundness. Much of the sustainability discourse focuses on functionality, sacrifice, and often, individual lifestyle changes. This paper seeks to challenge that perspective by proposing that a collectivistic approach with implications of prosperity can optimize urban adaptation, remediation, and expansion amidst the agglomerations threat of climate change.

The Government of Ontario has unveiled the underlying legal framework for its cap-and-trade program. Like the European Union Emissions Trading System, the proposed Act places a cap on carbon emissions and facilitates the trading of pollution allowances. The ultimate objectives of the Act are to reduce the emission of GHGs, while providing financial incentives to businesses. This article assesses the proposed Act with respect to the criteria of a robust cap-and trade system, including: effectiveness; comprehensiveness; transparency and fairness; and offset eligibility.

In recent decades Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) emerged into an en vogue investment philosophy. Originating from religious and moral considerations, SRI evolved in the wake of socio-political deficiencies and corporate social conduct. In the global rise of financial social conscientiousness, differing national legislations and regulatory traditions have led to various SRI practices, which are harmonized by the United Nations (UN). Building on the historic advancement of Financial Social Responsibility in the wake of socio-ethical deficiencies, this paper highlights the future potential of SRI in the aftermath of the 2008/09 World Financial Crisis as a means to avert economic market downfalls. During the current financial market reform, additional micro- and macro-research on financial social conduct could foster the idea of Financial Social Responsibility and aid a successful implementation of SRI.

 2016-06-27T07:26:23-04:00 http://www.consiliencejournal.org/index.php/consilience/article/view/466 A Systematic Evaluation of Environmental Discrimination with Sustainability Initiatives in India 2016-07-03T06:11:08-04:00 Jonah M. Williams email@example.com In the past fifty-years, India has undeniably become one of the world's economic and industrial superpowers, dominating the geopolticial climate of South Asia. India's road to industrialization has been accompanied by extreme environmental devastation which is encapsulated by population growth, pollution, and loss of biodiversity; additionally, many of these factors have had crippling effects on certain areas of India's environment. To combat these problems, certain groups within the government and nation, such as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, have been implementing sustainable solutions to combat the adverse effects of man-made environmental degradation. Oftentimes however, the implementation of these conservation tactics is done at a state-wide or national level in what is masked as "soft-authoritarianism" and fail to consider the interests and accessibility of programs for all peoples; especially communities which are labeled as minority, indigenous, slum, or lower caste (Dalit) leading to the rise of environmental prejudices. Although India has come a long way in the past decade regarding action against environmental problems through new sustainable solutions, it has failed to consider the accessibility of these programs to all peoples and the alleviation of environmental discrimination. This paper considers the convoluted nature of the past and aims to propose solutions that will a) allow India to continue its commitment to a sustainable future and b) combat socio-political issues of environmental biases, which adhere to the paradigm of Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM). 2016-06-27T07:28:01-04:00 http://www.consiliencejournal.org/index.php/consilience/article/view/477 A Critique on Current Paradigms of Economic 'Growth' and 'Development' in the Context of Environment and Sustainability Issues 2016-07-03T06:11:09-04:00 Sayan Roy email@example.com

This paper critically evaluates different models of economic progress and development using concepts based on the idea of the 'political economy'. It explores the influence of globalization on these different models and explores the nexus between the International Financial Institutions, trade bodies, and agreements that continuously exert economic pressure on governments. This paper also attempts to understand the environment and society in the context of markets and valuation mechanisms, and questions the effectiveness of economic instruments used to tackle complex environmental issues such as climate change and deforestation. The rest of this paper focuses on the technology-market interface; technologically oriented economic solutions seem to have a limited understanding of the root causes of the issues they are created to remedy. They also fail to acknowledge the intricate relationship between humans and their environments. This paper expounds the perceived inability of conventional economic frameworks to capture the dynamism, complex interactions, and organic nature of life sustaining phenomena in the biosphere is emphasized.

Central Business Districts (CBD) are areas of dense traffic which result in parking problems. Four parks were selected for detailed study in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, Nigeria. Parking surveys were conducted to evaluate their parking index (efficiency) using both close and open-ended questionnaires. Parking index (efficiency) for OFP1, OFP2, OFP3 and OFP4 were obtained as 42.5%, 69.52%, 74.88% and 26.66% respectively. The study shows that OFP1 and OFP4 operated below the maximum capacity at parking index lower than 50%, while OFP2 and OFP3 operated above the maximum capacity when compared with Policy 7 of the Parking Space Requirements in Parking Code Guidance 2012 of San Francisco Department of Transportation. Furthermore,50%, 36% and 14% of the respondents affirmed that the facilities are not adequate, adequate and very adequate respectively. Inadequacy in parking signage and deficiency in enforcement by Management was observed. However, effective communication, parking enforcement, operational efficiency and provision of parking signage should be adopted in the study area.

Bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) are critical to crop production globally. In the last decade, significant declines in pollinator health have been documented and it is now widely considered a "crisis." The potential causes of reduced pollinator health (species richness and abundance) relate to land-use decisions, practices, and management including habitat fragmentation, lack of foraging resources, pesticides, pests, and disease. Recent studies of native bees found diverse communities in cities around the world. This interdisciplinary pilot study investigates relationships between pollinator health and urban land-uses. It joins ecological and social science field research to examine linkages between native pollinator health and socio-cultural drivers of urban land-use decision-making practices to understand (1) what explains findings of diverse bee species in cities and (2) how citizens can encourage the enhancement of habitat for insect pollinator conservation. To establish a baseline for monitoring pollinator diversity and abundance, wild bees were sampled weekly at designated urban farms, community gardens, and prairie pockets located in St. Louis, Missouri, USA from 2013-2015. Ethnographic interviews were conducted in summer 2015 with 30 decision-makers to learn the social dynamics effecting management at the biologically sampled sites. Informants described bees' role in crop yield, quality, and quantity; reported planting to attract pollinators; and spoke of the city as viable for pollinator habitat, which is relevant to urban conservation and policy. Their conversational evidence paired with images captured at the research sites reveal the rich urban social-ecological tapestry studied, as well as enhance and inform future research approaches.

text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 190923 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 323 AM CST Thu Jan 19 2017 .TODAY AND TONIGHT...Forecast Confidence Is Medium. First issue is the persistent low stratus and fog over most of the area. There are a few areas where the clouds have mixed out in the south and southwest counties. However, more low stratus may move northeast into the area from the southwest, within weak warm air advection regime. Models have not handled these low stratus clouds well. The low status may linger through today, though winds at top of inversion may try to mix out these clouds in spots. Tried to keep things mostly cloudy for today. Fog has become dense in the far southwest counties early this morning, and issued a Dense Fog Advisory there until 15Z. The fog should linger across the rest of the area this morning, improving somewhat this afternoon. The main 500 mb low will shift from the southern Plains into northwest Iowa today and tonight, becoming negatively tilted tonight across the region. Initial differential cyclonic vorticity advection by 00Z Friday should help bring leading edge of rain into the area. Rain will continue tonight, as another shot of differential cyclonic vorticity advection pushes northward through the region. Kept high end PoPs for mainly tonight across the area. It appears that most of the precipitation will remain rain across the far northern portions of the area later today into tonight. Surface temperatures should remain above freezing, with ice crystals present in area forecast soundings. So, not much in the way of freezing rain is expected in the far northern counties. Despite the clouds, highs should reach the upper 30s to lower 40s today. Lows tonight should be in the middle 30s in most areas. .FRIDAY...Forecast confidence is high. Negative tilt shortwave trough lifts north through the upper Mississippi Valley/lower Great Lakes. Dynamic support will be present into the early afternoon, as channeled vorticity coupled with weak jet-level divergence passes through. Rain shower chances should persist into the afternoon before the forcing for ascent wanes. With saturated low-level profiles on area forecast soundings, cloudy skies will be the rule. Given 925 mb temperatures of 1 to 4 degrees Celsius and moist adiabatic lapse rates, highs should reach the upper 30s north to the lower 40s south. .SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...Forecast confidence is medium. Yet another upper low lifts north from the lower Missouri Valley Saturday morning and into northern Minnesota and Wisconsin by Sunday evening. An occluding surface low takes a similar path, skirting by to our west, while drawing warmer air into our area on southerly winds. While we`ll see a slight chance for rain showers in southern Wisconsin, the better rain chances remain to our west over Minnesota and Iowa and closer to the better dynamic and thermodynamic support. Thermal advection boosts 925 temperatures to around 5 to 7 degrees Celsius on Saturday, supporting very mild highs in the upper 40s/lower 50s given moist adiabatic profiles. Slightly cooler air will spill in behind the departing low on Sunday, but we should still make it well into the 40s for highs. Skies will be mostly cloudy to cloudy given plenty of low-level moisture through the period. .MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...Forecast confidence is medium. Most of the wave train action remains to our south into Tuesday as a strong and expansive low pressure system tracks from the Tennessee Valley/Gulf Coast States into New England. We could see a few rain showers on Monday or Tuesday on the back side of this system, with some mixed precipitation possible. Models disagree on the strength and placement of the next upper level wave riding southern stream energy towards the mid Mississippi Valley on Wednesday. Temperatures will be cooling by this time, so any precipitation, if present, could be in the form of snow. && .AVIATION/12Z TAFS/... Low stratus clouds with ceilings below alternate minimums, and approaching airport minimums, are expected to linger across most of the area this morning into the afternoon. There may be holes that develop in this deck at times. Visibilities should generally remain around 1 mile or higher this morning, improving this afternoon. An exception will be southwest of Madison, where 1/4 mile dense fog will occur into the middle morning hours. Rain with more low ceilings and visibilities down to near alternate minimums are anticipated to push north into the area later today into tonight. Winds will remain light. Could see dense fog in spots later tonight, though most areas should remain higher. && .MARINE... Southwest winds this morning will back to the southeast this afternoon, and remain light. Any fog over the waters should remain above 1 mile this morning, with more expected by later tonight. Generally light winds are expected into Saturday night across the area. North to northeast winds may pick up somewhat on Sunday, though will still be below Small Craft Advisory levels. The light winds should linger into early next week. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...DENSE FOG ADVISORY until 9 AM CST this morning for WIZ062-067- 068.

Appartment as decribed on the web. Good location, close to many visiting sites.
Well receviez on arrivât, Someone was there to tour the apartment with us and to ex plain fonctionnions of the facilités. Appartment very cleaned.
The apartment is about a block from the train station. Since we arrived and left by train, we had chosen the apartment in part for the location. For 2 people, the apartment had ample space. The view from the balcony (on the 11th floor) over all of Salzburg was amazing. There were tram and bus lines from the station all over the city, although downtown was easy walking distance. There were several grocery stores within a few blocks. My only comment was the the apartment is advertised as having a "washer/dryer." There was a washing machine, but the dryer was a drying rack.
Unfriendly, lack of goodwill and profit addictive!
One rents an apartment for 2 nights and we were treated as the enemy house!
Unfreundlich, fehlende Kulanz und profitsüchtig!
Man mietet eine Wohnung für 2 Nächte und wir wie der Hausfeind behandelt!
A very comfortable and rather central location. It is brilliantly clean and ample bedding and towels, but a few basics like tea/coffee would be helpful, as would the "heads up" that you must pay 12€ as a "city tax", for which you fill in a form. The local gas bar is great for some groceries and delicious bakeries and cafes are nearby, as is the Mozart museum.
The apartment Teresa is within walking distance behind the main train station in Neustadt. All sights are within walking distance to reach on value for money is OK. The apartment is managed by an "owner company" and is located in an apartment building. The manager came to meet our needs and enabled us kindly a much earlier access to the apartment. The apartment was functional and clean. Some certainties other apartments are a bit sparse limited (z. B. additional trash bags, tablets for the dishwasher).
Das Apartment Teresa liegt fußläufig hinter dem Hauptbahnhof in der Neustadt. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist OK. Die Wohnung wird von einer "Vermietergesellschaft" verwaltet und liegt in einem Mehrfamilienhaus. Der Verwalter kam unseren Wünschen entgegen und ermöglichte uns freundlicherweise einen deutlich früheren Zugang zur Wohnung. Die Wohnung war funktional und sauber. Manche Selbstverständlichkeiten anderer Ferienwohnungen sind etwas karg limitiert (z. B. zusätzliche Müllbeutel, Tabs für die Spülmaschine).
all corresponded to the Vorstellunungen.
alles entsprach den Vorstellunungen.
We arrived at the apartment that we booked and was told that we had booked a different apartment. They finally admitted that they had switched our apartment without asking us or even telling us. We booked the apartment as we needed to be in that area. Now they will not even return my emails.
The apartment met all expectations and also have scored with a fantastic view over Salzburg. The central location at the train station is optimal for the evening go away yet. After 10 minutes walk you are in the Old Town and can comfortably sit there either in a bar or go to a club.
All in all a great stay and highly recommended each :)
Die Wohnung entsprach allen Erwartungen und punktete zudem noch mit einem traumhaften Ausblick über Salzburg. Die zentrale Lage am Bahnhof ist optimal um Abends noch wegzugehen. Nach 10 min Fußweg ist man in der Altstadt und kann sich dort entweder gemütlich in eine Bar setzen oder in einen Club gehen.
Alles in Allem ein super Aufenthalt und jedem absolut zu empfehlen :)
A functionally furnished apartment in the basement, with minor degradation due barred window and a necessary (albeit smaller) cosmetic repairs. The apartment is located very centrally and quietly, the old town is a few minutes walk away (beautiful promenade along the Salzach), supermarket and S-Bahn connection directly "around the corner". Organisational to arrival and departure went well, we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back.
Eine zweckmäßig eingerichtete Ferienwohnung im Souterrain, mit leichten Abstrichen wegen vergitterter Fenster und notwendiger (wenn auch kleiner) Schönheitsreparaturen. Die Wohnung ist sehr zentral und ruhig gelegen, die Altstadt ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar (schöne Promenade entlang der Salzach), Supermarkt und S-Bahn Anschluss direkt "um die Ecke". Organisatorisches zu An- und Abreise hat gut geklappt, wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt und kommen gerne wieder.

The Clintonistas contempt for Americans runs deep
During the two presidential debates (or should I say debates between presidential candidates?) Hillary Clinton has lambasted Donald Trump for attacking women, Hispanics, African-Americans, Muslim-Americans and the disabled. Trump has, indeed, attacked members of these groups, sometimes in disgusting ways. However, his attacks have not been categorical ones directed at entire classes of Americans. By contrast, Hillary Clinton and her close advisers have attacked broad swathes of the American population »
Who's afraid of religious liberty? An introduction
Professor Richard Samuelson's closely argued Mosaic essay "Who's afraid of religious liberty?" is must reading. In it Professor Samuelson explains the assault on our religious freedom under the ever expanding regime of anti-discrimination law and practice. I urge readers who care about the subject to read the whole thing; there is no substitute for it. I invited Professor Samuelson to write a brief introduction for Power Line readers. Professor Samuelson »
What the anti-discrimination fetish means for Jews
In a post below, Scott directs attention to Richard Samuelson's Mosaic column "Who's afraid of religious liberty?" I agree with Scott that Samuelson's piece, which discusses the danger to freedom inherent in anti-discrimination law, should be required reading. In conjunction with that column, I recommend David Bernstein's response in Mosiac, "How Anti-Discrimination Became a Religion, and What It Means for Judaism." Both parts of the column — the "how" (which »
The Power Line Show, Ep. 41: Decoding the Religious Right
One of the surprises of the GOP primary campaign season was the strong support Donald Trump received from many—though not all—evangelical Christian voters. Maybe the so-called "religious right" isn't as monolithic as the media supposes. In this edition of the Power Line Show, Steve Hayward interviews one of the most insightful observers of the religious right, Michael Cromartie of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. We talk about theology, journalism, »
Supreme Court to parties in "Little Sisters of the Poor" — work it out yourselves
The Supreme Court has issued a unanimous per curiam opinion in the Little Sisters of the Poor case. Rather than deciding the legal issues before it, the Court vacated the judgment of the Court of Appeals, which was adverse to the Little Sisters, and sent the case back to that court so the parties can be given "sufficient time to resolve any outstanding issues between them." Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor »
Let New Europe be New Europe
I'm back from my trip to "New Europe," specifically to Prague and Krakow. I highly recommend both cities to potential tourists, and I find the concept of New Europe apt. Poland and the Czech Republic suffered grievously from the two great scourges of the 20th century — Nazism and Communism. So far, they have avoided the scourge of the present century — radical Islam. They have avoided it because Muslims »
A canticle for Donald Trump
Donald Trump's progress toward the Republican nomination is beginning to look fated. When it comes to good luck, or divine intervention, can anything beat Pope Francis's condemnation of Donald Trump today for supporting a wall protecting the southern border of the United States? Answering questions posed to him on the papal plane on his way back from Mexico to Vatican City, Pope Francis was asked what he thought of Trump's »
Obama at prayer
President Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. this morning. The White House has posted the text of Obama's remarks here. I've embedded the White House video below; Obama's speech begins at about 01:49:00 and runs to 02:17:00. C-SPAN has posted the video here. I transcribed quotes from the video before the White House posted the text; they may not be perfectly accurate. Those who say that »
Rubio Bags the Crom Endorsement
Michael Cromartie ("the Crom" to me for 30 years now) is the most significant person in Washington DC that you've never heard of. And that's just the way he likes it. Not because he's a backroom K Street wire puller from the shadows of House of Cards. To the contrary: he is the rarest thing you can find in Washington: a truly honest broker; a person of faith, understated on »
Should a Jew say Merry Christmas to a Sri Lankan?
I have never celebrated Christmas because I'm Jewish. But Christmas has always been a big day for me. My father and my first-born daughter were born on December 25. For years, we hosted a party on Christmas afternoon to celebrate the family birthdays. Our guests were mostly Jews but with a few Christians. You might be surprised by how many people are looking for something to do Christmas afternoon. During »
The invisible impact of Obama's Christian faith
After seven years of perhaps the most disappointing presidency in American history, I thought the era of Obama worship was over. At a minimum, I thought we'd seen the last story about how badly Obama wants to unite the country. But no. In a strong last-minute entry for silliest news story of the year, Greg Jaffe of the Washington Post gives us "The Quiet Impact of Obama's Christian faith." Jaffe's »
Obama's disgraceful Hanukkah party [Updated]
If this account of the White House Hanukkah party is accurate, then President Obama's politicization of everything has reached a new low. According to Daniel Greenfield: Obama's own remarks were boilerplate inoffensive stuff. Israel's President Rivlin, a political hack who desperately sucks up to the media, was equally insipid. But the White House chose Susan Talve to light the Menorah. Talve is a member of the anti-Israel group T'ruah which »
A Hanukkah story
We've all seen movies in which an old-timer hears a phrase, and suddenly his thoughts take him back in time to when he heard the same words as a youngster. This is starting to happen to me. The other day, when someone wished me a happy Hanukkah (it's still allowed, I think), I thought of an incident from 1962 (probably) involving a friendly acquaintance I'll call Bob and a friend »
Jews are the main target of religious hate crimes in America
President Obama and other leftists continue to sound the alarm against anti-Muslim hate crimes. But FBI data shows that few hate crimes are directed at Muslims in the country and that many more are directed at Jews. The FBI bases its annual report on information submitted by law enforcement agencies. This year, 86 percent of the nation's nearly 18,000 law enforcement agencies provided hate crime reports for 2014 to the »
What did mistletoe do to Cornell?
Steve wrote here about the "best practice" guidelines for December holiday parties issued by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Now, Cornell University has extended this ridiculous mindset beyond the realm of community events like parties to private decisions by students and faculty members about what decorations to display. Blake Neff of the Daily Caller reports: The guidelines are buried inside a Cornell »
Should a Jew rent from Avis? Part Two
Avis has apologized for not renting a car this past weekend to Dov Bergwerk, an Israeli business executive and frequent Avis customer. I described Avis' refusal here.

We have found that we have been inconsistent in applying our policies with respect to documentation requirements with this customer, who has rented from us »
Lord's Prayer Banned As Offensive
This is one of those news stories that you think must have originated at The Onion, but I am pretty sure it is legitimate. Either that, or someone has hacked the Associated Press's computers: The Church of England is threatening legal action over the rejection of a one-minute film featuring the Lord's Prayer that it wanted to run before showings of the new Star Wars film that opens shortly before »

Even Japanese Don't Buy Those Trade Excuses; 'Rush Hour of the Gods'
Published: April 9, 1995
To the Editor:
Re your April 4 Tokyo Journal: I miss historical perspective on Japanese religious cults like Aum Shinrikyo, suspected in the poison gas attack in the Tokyo subway. The proliferation of religious sects has been a prominent feature of Japanese life since the 1840's, when "new religions" like the still-thriving Tenri and Konko sects were founded.
In the interwar period, many new sects were created, numbering more than 1,000 in 1935. Following World War II, 700 new religious cults with more than 375,000 clergy were established. So numerous have these sects been that one scholar has characterized the modern period in Japan as "the rush hour of the gods."
Religious sects are a feature of Japanese popular culture. The vast majority provide true spiritual solace to tens of millions. A few have been criticized for their activities.
Because we have wanted to gloss over the role religion played in wartime Japan in order to rehabilitate Japan as a United States ally in the cold war, we have downplayed the role religion plays in Japan. But if allegations of Aum Shinrikyo's involvement in the Tokyo attack prove true, it will be further evidence we should not underestimate religion as a force. DAVID G. GOODMAN Professor of Japanese Literature University of Illinois Urbana, Ill., April 4, 1995

A SAT Attack on the Erdos Discrepancy Conjecture
Computers are providing solutions to math problems that we can't check - "A computer has solved the longstanding Erdős discrepancy problem!

Stolen Descartes letter found at Haverford by Dutch scholar's online detective work
A letter by Rene Descartes, stolen in 1840s, recovered in 2010 by online detective work. The letter was stolen by Guglielmo Libri, inspector general of the libraries of France, who stole thousands of valuable documents and fled to England in 1848. Since 1902 it's been in the collection of Haverford College, its contents unknown to scholars, and nobody there realized that it was an unknown letter. But because they had catalogued it and recently put their catalogue on line, Dutch philosopher Erik-Jan Bos found it "during a late-night session browsing the Internet". (A Haverford undergraduate thirty years ago had translated it and written a paper on it, in which he recognized that the letter was unknown -- but nobody followed up and the letter had sat in the library since then until it was listed online.) The letter includes some last-minute edits to the Meditations, and some thoughts on God as causa sui. Haverford, whose president was a philosophy major, is returning the letter to the Institut de France.
Virtual Thinking
Correlative Analytics -- or as O'Reilly might term the Social Graph -- sort of mirrors the debate on 'brute force' algorithmic proofs (that are "true for no reason," cf.) in which "computers can extract patterns in this ocean of data that no human could ever possibly detect. These patterns are correlations. They may or may not be causative, but we can learn new things. Therefore they accomplish what science does, although not in the traditional manner... In this part of science, we may get answers that work, but which we don't understand. Is this partial understanding? Or a different kind of understanding?" Of course, say some in the scientific community: hogwash; it's just a fabrication of scientifically/statistically illiterate pundits, like whilst new techniques in data analysis are being developed to help keep ahead of the deluge...
Switching off self-awareness
Researchers have found that prolonged concentration on a difficult task actually switches off a person's self awareness. Fancy experiencing this sensation for yourself? That would be an oxymoron in existence. Just lay back and let the orgasm take hold.
Negative knowledge (or more precisely negative information)
Know less than nothing!? What could negative knowledge possibly mean? In short, after I tell you negative information, you will know less...

TravelPod Member ReviewsAshworth by the Sea Hampton
GREAT location! Right on the beach. Beautiful for a sunset walk with the gulls. Nice staff, dated rooms. Don't eat at the diner. (Our breakfast there was...meh.) There are better places in town.

After our days in the mountains, it was a real culture shock driving only about an hour and suddenly being surrounded by sea marshes and open sky. Seriously breathtaking! Our room had an amazing ocean view and we couldn't resist taking a brief, cold, walk on the beach before finding one last seafood place for dinner on our last night. Sigh.
Ok, so our start is being delayed a bit..
... we will spend Sat/Sun night but by Monday we will have the Bus back to Campers Inn, to get her washed and waxed. Hopefully by Thursday morning we will be headed down to Brialee. The bright note this week has been comments by the Tiffin mechanic who said our Bus was the best used Tiffin he's inspected. It only needed two lightbulbs. Everything else worked. Nice to hear. We will keep you updated as we not so patiently wait to get started ...
Boston and the holidays
... pins in Phil's map, that he has finally conceded is a good gift, and enjoyed all the reminisces that came with doing that. Later to Sabatino's for a light meal, and probably sold another book.
December 29, 2014 – Monday—Washed clothes and now can pack to go to the cape tomorrow. It is sunny out but only 40 degrees. Went to the movies-WILD was sold out again! Saw Hobbit-not too bad, then library and into Mt Vernon for ...
Boston in the Fall
... Columbia Raincoat along the trail and as it was getting dark and no other hikers around we brought it home. Fits Phil just great. Next a stop at Stoneham Library and Phil's book is out and has people waiting in line for it! Home for a while and then to Mt Vernon for our meal. Cool out today and a nor'easter heading our way in a couple of days, so looks like fall is here and winter is on its way.

Let me now turn the call over to Ed Albini, our ChiefFinancial Officer.
Ed Albini
Thank you Paul. Thank you all for joining us this afternoon.Following my review of the financials, John Walker will provide some commentson the terminated of our ASCENT-2 Phase 3 trial and other development programsin support of our second product AQ4N.
We've reported today a net loss for the third quarter of2007 of $3.2 million or $0.13 per share, as compared to a net loss $6.9 millionor $0.30 per share for the third quarter of 2006.
As of September 30, 2007, cash, cash equivalents andmarketable securities totaled $103.8 million plus we had an additional $6.1million in accounts receivable. As a reminder, during the third quarter, wereceived $67 million in cash, which was net of our sub-licensing obligations.We got that from Schering-Plough under the worldwide developmentcommercialization agreement for Asentar.
Our net operating capital usage during the third quarter wasapproximately $4.5 million. Revenue for the three months ended September 30,was $8.6 million, which includes $2.5 million attributable to the recognitionof a portion of the upfront payments under the development and commercializationagreement with Schering and $6.1 million related to reimbursement by Scheringfor our research and development efforts on Asentar during the third quarter.
The revenue for reimbursement comprises our entire accountsreceivable balance as of September 30 2007. With the related payment expectedto be received during the fourth quarter of 2007, in accordance with the termsof our agreements with Schering.
Total research and development expenses for the thirdquarter of 2007 were $9.6 million compared to $4.7 million for the same periodin 2006. The increase in R&D expenses from 2006 to 2007 was due primarilyto the higher level of clinical development activities in the ASCENT-2 Phase 3trial for Asentar and that's in patients with AIPC.
The cost associated with preparation for the initiation ofour Phase 2 clinical trial for Asentar in advanced pancreatic cancer anddevelopment activities and product manufacturing expenses related to AQ4N. Theoverall R&D expense increase from 2006 to 2007 was offset partially byimmaterial R&D expenses associated with vinorelbine oral in 2007.
As a result of the termination during the fourth quarter of2006 of our then-existing agreements related to vinorelbine oral, and thereturn to the licensor of all the related product rights for the United Statesand Canada.
Total general and administrative expenses for the thirdquarter of 2007 were $3.6 million compared to $3.2 million for the comparable2006 period. The increase in G&A expenses from 2006 to 2007 was dueprimarily to an increase in stock-based compensation and other employee-relatedexpenses. This was offset partially by reduction in marketing and communicationexpenses.
As we look ahead, we projected revenues in 2007 under thedevelopment and commercialization agreement with Schering will include aportion of the total of $60 million received in upfront payments.
And we're currently expecting to recognize that $60 millionratably over an approximately six-year period of time that began on June 26thof 2007, which would be effective dated agreement and that period with that sixplus year period will end on June 30, 2013. The other revenue that we expect toreceive is revenue from cost reimbursement related to our development effortson Asentar, that's based on our direct cost incurred and also the efforts ofour employees who are working on Asentar.
As we look ahead, we currently estimate that our cashbalance at December 31st 2007 will be approximately $100 million andthat includes the estimated reimbursement by sharing of our Asentar developmentcost that we incurred in the third quarter of 2007, that the receivable of$60.1 million that's on our balance sheet. Based on our current plans, weproject that our net usage in 2008 will be in the range of $20 million to $25million.
I will now turn the call over to John Walker, who willprovide you with the few comments on the news of last week about Asentar aswell as the brief overview of our development programs for AQ4N.
John Walker
Thank you, Ed. As many of you are aware we announced lastweek that Novacea and our partner Schering-Plough accepted the Data SafetyMonitoring Board substrate and recommendation to immediately terminate theASCENT-2 Phase III of the Asentar for the treatment verification with androgen-independentprostate cancer.
Due to an imbalance of debt between the two treatments arms,given the promising clinical activity observed in our Phase II trial we areclearly very surprised to disappointed by these findings. However we andSchering-Plough are actively analyzing the clinical data in an attempt tounderstand the cause of the higher death rate in the Asentar plus Taxoteretreatment group.
As I mentioned last week, it is important to note that ourpreliminary analysis has not identified any unexpected safety concerns withAsentar and unless we discover any unanticipated safety issues with our productcandidates, we believe the Asentar remains the late stage asset and viablecancer product candidates.
We believe that our partnership with Schering-Plough remainstrong and our actively working together to evaluate to results of ASCENT-2 andto determine next steps. We intend to be patient and take the time necessary tounderstand the imbalance of debt in ASCENT-2 and we hope to update the marketon our findings within the next few months.
Following completion of our analyses of the ASCENT-2 data wealso hope to resume enrolment in our Phase II trial in advanced pancreaticcancer as well as several investigators sponsor trials that we had under way.
As we continue our diligence with Asentar, let me nowprovide you with the few comments on our development product AQ4N. AQ4N has anoble mechanism of action and we are developing it as a tissue-targetedcytotoxic prodrug, particularly for use in the oxygen-starved regions of solidtumors, where radiation in chemotherapy have very little affect.
The AQ4N clinical program consist of three ongoing studiesincluding Novacea's Phase I/II trial in the glioblastoma multiforme or GBM aswell as two European Phase I/II studies in bladder cancer and in solid tumorwith cisplatin.
We expect to have preliminary safety data from our GBM studyin the next few months and plan to present data from our European Study as ASCO2008. Many of you are aware that we are also moving AQ4 in hematologicalmalignancies; to that end we recently initiated a Phase II study in patiencewith Relapse Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or ALL. We also plan to start PhaseII trial in B-cell Lymphoma during the first quarter of 2008.
Let me briefly explain the rationale behind our expandedclinical program for AQ4N; laboratory studies under normal oxygen conditionshave indicated that AQ4, the active cytotoxic drug has the ability to killtumor cells derive from hematological malignancies including lymphoma andleukemia at very low concentrations.
Non-clinical toxicology studies have indicated that AQ4Ncould target lymphoid associated tissues and induce lymphoid white blood cells.In other words AQ4N has the ability to target lymphoid cells with probesensitivity. Although, the rate of success in the treatment of adult ALL hasincreased in the last 20 years, the therapeutic options are still very limitedand the majority of adult patience diagnose die fairly quickly.
The presence of co-existing medical disorders and olderpopulation may also lead to decrease tolerance of chemotherapy agents. Theyreported cure-age for adult ALL seldom exceed 40%; despite, the use of newermedical advances and the five-year event pre-survival is approximately 40%.Clearly, there is a need for better treatment options for Adult ALL patients.
With that in mind, we initiated in October a Phase IImulti-center single arm open label study of AQ4N to evaluate the safetytolerability and efficacy as a monotherapy in people with relapse B-Cell ALL.
This study will be conducted in two stages at a total of 56variable patients will be enrolled. The study will be conducted inapproximately 30 clinical trail sights in North America and Germany. Wecurrently anticipate data from this trial in mid-2009.
Before I open the call up for questions, let me summarize bysaying that while we had setback with termination of our ASCENT-2 Phase IIItrail, we are fortunate to be in the strong financial position that we'll notnecessitate us going back to the capital markets in the near future.
Depending on our full analysis of the ASCENT-2 data, westill believe Asentar is a late stage asset and that one day this product willbenefit cancer patients.
We also have in place a broad clinical development programand supported AQ4N and we will continue to actively evaluate licensingopportunities as well as a wide range of strategic business initiatives.
I'll now be happy along with my colleagues to answer anyquestion that you may have.
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instruction) Your first question comes form theline of Akhtar Samad with Bear Stearns. Please proceed.
Akhtar Samad - Bear Stearns
Yes, hi. John this is a question for you about the timelinesfor some of the programs you'd indicated. I'm just wondering, if you could giveus a little bit more color on the timelines potentially from data from bladdercancer study and also a little bit more detail on the kinds of patients thatyou're looking for in the B-cell lymphoma study that will be started in thefirst quarter next year?
John Walker
Let me take the later question first, which is regarding theB-cell lymphoma study. That specific protocol is currently being worked onAkhtar. So it will be a little premature for me to describe specifically thenature of the inclusion criteria that we would have for that study.
So that would be something that we will need to update as wemove a little bit further along in our specific planning as I indicated theprotocol is currently being as they worked on actively.
Secondly, as it relates to timeline, we are anticipatingthat during the first six months of next year or over the next six months Ishould say more appropriately leading up to the ASCO Presentation that we willhopefully be able to report out a number of activities associated with AQ4N.
These relate to the results of our Phase 1B portion of theGBM study as we previously indicated as well as an update on primarily safety,but also we hope some efficacy evaluation as well in regard to both the bladdercancer study that you alluded to, which is in combination with radiationtherapy as well as the solid tumor with cisplatin study, which is also beingconcluded as this point in time.
So, what we are hoping is to be able to provide top-linedata to the market but a more definitive analysis for submission at ASCOpresentation in 2008.
(Operator Instructions) There are no additional questions atthis time. I'd now like to turn the presentation back over to Mr. John Walker.
John Walker
Thank you very much again for everybody to participatingtoday. We currently anticipated that in regard to the news that we had lastweek that this might be somewhat in anticlimactic (ph). But let me make surethat everyone is fully aware of the obvious purpose for this call was clearlyto provide the financial information for our third quarter.
As you know, when we made the announcement last weekregarding the sensation of the ASCENT-2 study. We were very clear to indicatethat we would finish the third quarter and then we had finished the thirdquarter was approximately $110 million in cash. You'll note that that actualnumber is closer to $109.9 million, I'm sorry.
When one combines both the receivable as well as the cashmarketable securities etcetera, and importantly, there are burn rate for thethird quarter came in at $4.5 million. That is a significant change from whatpeople have seen with the company previously, and is more indicative of thegoing forward burn rate that we had alluded to in providing guidance to you for2008 where we would expect that our burn rate would be between $20 and $25million.
And this point in time, our annualize rate as you know iscloser to $18 million based on the third quarter number. So this reallytranslates into a situation were we have the cash reserves and the burn rateappropriate to allowing the company along with our partner Schering-Plough tofully analyze the ASCENT-2 data and to make the right decisions regarding thefuture development of Asentar.
We feel that we're in a very fortunate position as a resultof that. And we want it to take this opportunity and having the call associatedwith our third quarter financials to provide that very important update to themarket in regard to the financial liability of Novacea at this point and ourability to continue to move our programs forward. And importantly, ourcontinued believe that Asentar will, in fact, continue to move forward anddevelop.
Again, we have not seen anything today that indicates thatwe any safety signals associated with Asentar in the ASCENT-2 study. There wasclearly an in-balance and we have a fail study but we are very hopeful as we'veindicated that we do not have a fail drug or rather we continue to have a latestage asset that along with Q4 and we'll be in full development as we gothrough 2008. Thank you very much for your time.
