Company moves HQ to new space in King of Prussia
- Natalie Kostelni
- Reporter- Philadelphia Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
DrugDev signed a lease to relocate its North American headquarters to the King of Prussia area from Audubon, Pa.
The company signed a lease on 31,000 square feet at 1170 Devon Park Drive. Liberty Property Trust owns the 88,000-square-foot building. The Malvern, Pa., real estate investment trust recently completed $2.5 million in renovations to the structure including expanding the lobby with an open staircase, installing terrazzo flooring and putting in new restrooms.
DrugDev, which helps companies do drug trials together, said in a statement that the new building will give it room for growth and will provide amenities such as a fitness facility to its employees. DrugDev will be moving from 1000 Madison Ave., which is less than five miles from its new headquarters. It has corporate offices in London.
Scott Miller of CBRE Inc. represented DrugDev in the transaction. D2 Solutions was the architect for the DrugDev space, Environetics was the architect for the improvements to the building, and Shields Construction served as general contractor.
Natalie Kostelni covers real estate and economic development.

HowaboutRAW: How does Flickr posting break down if only raw capable cameras are counted.
The last time I posted something to Flickr, it was a scanned negative--probably Kodak film, Noctilux, Konica RF mount body.
I doubt that raw capable cameras are used for raw shooting by the majority.
Mister Roboto: Well if you will consider the tons of worthless pictures uploaded here and there then yes Apple will take some place
Why don't other smartphones dominate then?
Richard Murdey: 1. Flickr didn't bother including the K-3 in their database. I think everyone here can agree its a 'serious' dSLR, and Pentax is a bit under-represented as a result.
(you'd think Pentax USA would have given the guys at flickr a call before now...)
2. Yes, smartphones are cameras. Yes, they are popular. But worrying whether Nikon is "more popular" than Apple doesn't really make much sense since iPhone sales hardly impact how many dSLRs Nikon is going to be able to sell. The data above mostly just shows the flood of the iPhone and Android (Samsung) smartphones, its hard to get a sense of how the different camera manufacturers are doing relative to each other.
What I would have loved to see the same "user" data, but just the ILCs and plotted for the last 5 years as absolute numbers rather than percentages, to be able to watch the rise of Fuji, Sony and other mirrorless and whether that correlated with any contraction in Nikon and Canon users or not.
But it is interesting that the ease of use argument doesn't seem to apply to other smartphone manufacturers - given the domination of instalked base and Samsung's domination of Android you'd think they would be number one and other Android manufacturers would at least make a showing.
The fact that Flickr doesn't seem to include all exif models is a more damning criticism of their statistics I thjink.
goblin: Wow !!! Now THAT'S Relevant information !!!
According to the same (type of) statistics, the Ford Crown Victoria in yellow) is the most owned car in New York city. It must be the best car ever :-D
Point to a post?
Bernard Carns: Site to be soon renamed Digital National Photography Inquirer Review
Sadly your posts show the truth of your bias.
Jos12: When I upload a photo made by my Nikon camera from my Ipad to flickr, all the data are stripped. Does Flickr count anything from these uploads, and how does it see it, as A Nikon or as an Appel upload?
The iPad isnt going to add exif data for images so they won't count at all.
aandeg: So with actual cameras it's Canon, Nikon, Sony, then the other mirrorless are not even noticeable. That certainly helps explain why Panolympus can't make any money.
The question isn't does everyone share photos, but rather are flickr users a representative sample. It seems someehat unlikely to posit that there is a bias among Flickr users not present in the general public beyond the ease of connected devices giving them a disproportionate presence on any sharing site.
Why would more Canon owners share photos than Olympus owners?
PhotoKhan: People complaining about how Flicker might be no longer relevant, how it even does not recognize some camera brands and all other "logic" limitations for this article scope are missing the point.
This has been written and is being propagated because it has reached a "minimally true gestation state" where it CAN be written.
Little details, like the fact that a smarthpone manufacturer is being ranked among camera's manufacturers just because its products also happen to make photos, in the same way that we could rank McDonald's ahead of any star-distinguished Michelin restaurant by sourcing any "food photography" channel is of little relevance for today's "journalism".
If an headline can contain the "expression Apple overtakes xxx" it WILL be written, no matter how irrelevant the base data might be, if the actual switching rank being an "obscure" second or how much logic-twisting has to be performed.
Hey...There are even some very serious and business like graphs included!
It is sad how bothered some are by Apple's successes.
Boxbrownie: Its not a camera ranking though is it........its a photo downloaded ranking, so its not surprising Apple is so popular with all the i-phones and i-pads being used by consumers (not enthusiasts) for taking piccies......bit of a dumb table really.
Since devices are counted one per user per week, the effect of the popularity of smartphones is reduced.
mpgxsvcd: My 8 inch diameter telescope is only 800mm! Why in the world do people think they need 16 megapixels with 1200mm? Spotting scopes for rifles don't even have that kind of focal length.
If they can shoot people miles away with a shorter focal length then you certainly can take a picture of them with a shorter focal length.
Your 800mm 8" telescope also used eyepieces to magnify its image giving it a lot more than an effective 1200mm unless you normally stick with 35mm and above eyepieces.
prossi: It's too late for canon&nikon to do a resonably good job with mirrorless as Sony, Samsung,Fuji and Oly/Panasonic capture more and more DP market share. Why would they launch a product that fights with the bread&butter DLSR line?
Because if they are smart like Apple they would rather be the one that sells you a mirrorless system than a competitor. That DSLR sell is already lost to some, best to be the alternative there.
mpgxsvcd: Samsung has the exact opposite strategy as Canon. Samsung knows that if they build a quality product with lots of features their customers will still be willing to spend the same amount of money and not ask for rock bottom prices.
They also know that if they are not leading the industry then there will be no catching up. It is lead or simply get out of the way and die by the roadside.
Canon on the other hand believes that its customers are for life. They believe that as long as they don't change things too much their customers won't want to change too much. Canon's market share will be drastically reduced by the end of this year thanks to innovations by Sony, Olympus, Samsung, Panasonic, and even Nikon.
When you admit OVF can also do things EVF cannot, then I will consider your judgements - and that soon has been hanging around a long time.
coldcut: I like the bold tone from Samsung. No overconfidence, just self assurance leaning towards innovation and a firm belief that there is a lot of technical improvements left to implement. Others just rest on their laurels, waiting to see what the next big thing will be, hoping somone else will do the heavy lifting.
I really hope Samsung will drive this home.
Are there good mirrorless ILC systems that compete in the price ranges of the entry level Canon and Nikon systems, though?
Mirrorless systems still seem to me to be more expensive than DSLR entry level, especially if you add some lenses.
Conrad567: Metal construction. Weather sealed. Zooms to 84mm instead of 70mm while maintaining a constant 2.8 aperture all for less than 2/3 the price of the mighty Canon 24-70mm ii. (Which I own BTW) This also has a Filter thread of 77mm instead of the 82mm of the Canon. If it performs at least as good as the Canon or the FUJI 50-140mm then this lens will be a bargain.
It really seems to me that FUJI is trying to build professional type lenses in the hope of breaking into the fashion and wedding business. It will be interesting to see if it works. I have an X-T1 and 7 FUJI lenses. All of them are great lenses. Certainly expensive, at least when they are first released, but they do take a nice photo.
Shouldn't you be comparing the cheaper EF-S 17-55 f/2.8?
mpgxsvcd: If I had a bunch of Canon glass I wouldn't even consider buying any other Canon camera but this one.
There. I kept it totally positive.
Seems like some serious limitations on AF:
Autofocus speed is very slow and inadequate for most moving subjects. The autofocus speed is unfit for professional use for sure, and it would disappoint most enthusiasts.
Only Canon-branded lenses introduced in or after 2006 are officially supported. Autofocus may be disabled for older Canon lenses and most third-party lenses, including most Sigma, Tamron and Tokina lenses and all Contax N lenses modified by Conurus.
Continuous AF is not supported.
Not really a good solution.
tkbslc: Very disappointed that 60D is not supported. 70D and 7Dmk2 have not been out that long and the 60D is still a current product. Part of the reason I've stayed with Canon is that I really love the output quality of DPP. Very frustrating for Canon to ignore people that bought fairly high level APS-C cameras not very long ago.
I assume they will continue to add older camera models as time permits.
Usee: Sorry, but within the comparison tool it wipes away the pattern in the green area around the Nike logo on the shirt of the left player - even at the "Large" setting...
OK, it reduces the file size noticably, but I would have liked a comparison with JPEG 2000 and also different jpeg compressions...
...I see only examples of "noise reduction" with a heavy loss on detail.
They should at least improve the comparison tool, or maybe also, the format...
...b.t.w. which is the reason why JPEG 2000 isn't used that much?
'And what means "Kakadu"?' was the question Google can answer easily.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to tell what artifacts are introduced by Kakadu versus other JPEG2000 encoders, but given comparisons stating differences are much less significant for JPEG2000 I would guess all encoders would show similar artifacts:

...b.t.w. which is the reason why JPEG 2000 isn't used that much?
Google is your friend:
Dave Oddie: Seems to me this camera is all about the pro level tank-like build quality, fast AF and the 10fps.
Very useful for a pro sports photographer with the crop sensor giving more reach but outside that market it is pretty disappointing. Not many amateurs need the tank-like build and even my "old" A77 is faster at 12fps.
If you are a typical amateur who shoots a variety of subjects it doesn't seem compelling at all due to the sensor limitations, especially given the price.
Canon cameras always handle really well with well thought out ergonomics but this and tank like build are not enough anymore.
Modern Ferrari's have finally surpassed the Acura NSX, but the general point is still there - some want a two seat sports car, and some want a four passenger sedan, and some a pickup truck.
This 7D II is a much more limited camera than the original 7D or even the 70D, but is unsurpassed today for those that need its capabilities.
mpgxsvcd: The Auto ISO logic and customizability of this camera sounds perfect. I wish Panasonic would finally switch to doing it this way. Their current logic in the LX100 is really good for an Auto mode. However, they don't offer any customization of the Auto mode like Canon does.
Auto ISO is a very underutilized option. That is probably because it has been so bad in the past. The current crop of cameras offer good Auto ISO logic and even if you chose to use different settings than Auto ISO starting with Auto ISO gives you a good estimate of what settings are optimal.
I think the Auto ISO is nice, but it still doesn't quite match the scene mode exposure programming where you can have the emphasis move from fast shutter to small aperture, etc. depending on the image you are taking. When Canon has programmable EV tables or functions that emphasize fast/slow shutter or large/small aperture or high/low ISO as desired, they will have the next generation PASM modes.

Versailles Palace
... something to show other Royalty who visited. It seems fitting that on the day of the death of Gough Whitlam, we see a place that helped finally bring about an end to the injustices of previous eras and paved the way for a more equitable society. I find it ironic that the Emperors, installed by the people seeking equality ended up living in the same opulence as the Royalty who had lost their heads. I suspect Napoleon, like his royal predecessors suffered from a ...

Uhm, A big complaint abut the fuel milesge with no comment about what you liked and you gave it 5 Stars?
Report itI had a 2012 Rogue and the most I got was 19 - 21 mpg and that was driving conservativley. I complained to Nissan and was told to use Premium Gas - I did, no difference. I really thought about getting the new Rogue, but was afraid of the mileage, and the fact it had a small gas tank. I ended up getting the Altima, which the ratings are 28-38 and around town I average 32 with no highway driving, Plus it has a large tank and I can get almost 600 miles per a tank.
Report itI am having the same problem. How do you open up a case? My best mileage was 28, but that was one time. I average 23. I'm super unhappy.
Report itI gave mine a good review based on claimed MPG but like yours, after a few months of experience, mine is not good either and 4-5 MPG less than ratings, no matter how gently I drive. Love the vehicle overall but am very disappointed by the mileage.
Report itAfter driving a new Rogue SL with 200 miles, I found I am getting 21 miles per gallon. 100 of the miles were highway at posted speeds and the other half were city driving. I am very unhappy as I expected at least 28-30 mpg. Will it get better??????

It has been awhile since I needed a Realtor and didn't know what to expect. I was looking for a decent place with a fair monthly rate in the Boston area. My search started with craigslist and the amount of listings were numerous. I was fortunate to come across John and his company. I was interested in a few properties in his line up and contacted his company. After being contacted immediately by phone,text and email I explained my situation and John acted on my options right away. John worked hard and fast to set up 7 listings 4 days before Christmas. We set up a date and time to meet and view the properties. John was right on time and actually drove us to the listings. I felt real comfortable with John. He was straight forward, personal, patient and efficient. I felt comfortable sharing my personal information at all times. John also shared what his interests are. I made a decision on the third viewing. The paperwork was started and finished within hours and I was approved with a move in date just 2 days before Christmas. Amazing! I feel John went above and beyond to take care of my needs and I'm grateful to have met him.

I was looking for a home to rent right away and once I made my search in Zillow, John gave me a quick response and he help me to find my studio in Beacon Hill. I received a very good attention, quick responses and John demonstrates that he is good professional and knows his job. I strongly recommend him, specially if you need as soon as possible a place to live.
John was a pleasure to work with. He understood what I was looking for and made excellent recommendations. Every question I had was met with an immediate response.
I was very happ with John's attentiveness. He was able to negotiate the price down more than 10%. He helped with my furniture move-in arrangements.
The apartment was unfortunately a litte dirty when I got the keys
John responds to one's needs extremely fast. He listened to me when I described what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect place. He was very serious and flexible with showings by showing me the places in the exact time I wanted. He was also able to show me a place as soon as one hour after I had requested to see it. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and use his services in the future.
Great service!
John was very responsive. I started talking to him on a Saturday and he showed me an apartment that day, as well as had other listings for me to look at. I was not in the Boston area at the time when we began communicating, but John showed me the apartment via Facetime. I was looking for a short-term lease, and John was ready to negotiate with landlords about a shorter lease than normal. He was easy to get a hold of and tried to find places that address my needs.

This BMF episode is one where she puts all her talents to good use. Your probability for rubbing one out to her is pretty high. I guaranty it!

The scene was set: Rome in autumn. An up-lit fountain in an ancient piazza. Lovers separated by an ocean (both physical and metaphorical) reuniting. A tentative hug, a bashful glance, hearts swooning with the purr of motorinos. Sparks would fly like those light-up toys the immigrants sell. There would be...

With her newfound belief in love and its possibilities, Ave Maria has made a life for herself and her growing family, hoping that her fearless leap into commitment will make happiness stay. What she hasn't counted on is that fate and the ghosts of the past will come to haunt her and, eventually, test the love she has for her husband. The mountain walls that have always protected her cannot spare Ave Maria the life lessons she must learn. BIG CHERRY HOLLER is the story of a marriage, revealing the deep secrets, the power struggle, the betrayal and the unmet expectations that exist between a man and wife. But it is also the story of a community that must reinvent itself as it comes to grips with the decline of the coal-mining industry, and of an extended family, the people of Big Stone Gap, who are there for one another, especially when times are tough. Brimming with humour, wisdom, honesty, and the drama and local colour of mountain life from Virginia to Italy, BIG CHERRY HOLLER is a deeply felt, brilliantly evoked story of two lovers who have lost their way, and their struggle to find each other again.

Excellent follow up to Big Stone Gap. Part 2 of a very entertaining series of 4 books.
Apr 1, 2007
Adriana Trigiani's Big Stone Gap series is a joy to read. The series is about Ave Maria, a misplaced Italian immigrant's daughter who is quickly approaching middle age. The series begins with a twist on the classic middle aged nervous breakdown and Ave Maria's struggle to understand the many secrets of what she thought were two simple parents. Trigiani's Big Stone Gap series will capitvate and entertain as she skillfully weaves tragic and humor and pain and love into a grand tale.

Unless a holiday abroad was specifically approved as a treatment for work-related stress then it's only right that they were fired. It's also worth pointing out that wrestling a shark cannot be less stressful than staying at home.

I find it funny that a Children's Charity fired him for.. helping children..
I wonder though, in what way do they propose that you relieve stress during your 'stress leave', if the repercussion of doing something to relieve it can cost you your Job. If he was taking sick leave, I'd understand; but stress leave should be used to de-stress which would imply a vacation or whatever means to de-stress.
Posted 14 March 2013 - 00:22
No, they were fired because they were dishonest. It's really not difficult to understand.
If I was on sick leave for stress then I'd make sure to get permission from the doctor and employer beforehand. I wouldn't simply book a holiday to Australia for two months. It's common sense.

The present invention relates to the field of electronic design automation (EDA) or computer aided design (CAD) software and, more particularly, to techniques for placing devices and routing interconnects in integrated circuits.Integrated circuit technology is a marvel of the modem age. Integrated circuits are also sometimes referred to as "chips." Integrated circuits are used in many applications such as computers, consumer electronics, networking, andtelecommunications. There are many types of integrated circuits including microprocessors, microcontrollers, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), gate arrays, programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs),dynamic random access memories (DRAMs), static random access memories (SRAMs), erasable programmable read only memories (EPROMs), electrically erasable programmable read only memories (EEPROMs), and Flash memories. Integrated circuits may also includecombinations of one or more of these specific types of integrated circuit. For example, an ASIC may include a portion of an embedded DRAM.Integrated circuit technology continues to rapidly advance. Modern integrated circuits may contain hundreds, thousands, or even millions of individual devices (e.g., transistors, resistors, diodes, capacitors, and others) or cells. Such designsare much too large for an integrated circuit designer to manage effectively manually. For example, an integrated circuit design may have hundreds or thousands of inputs and outputs that need to be routed. To route interconnect manually between theinputs and outputs, it would take an integrated circuit designer an inordinate amount of time.Therefore, automation tools are needed to make easier and expedite the task of designing an integrated circuit. It is important to be able to produce a circuit design and layout meeting or exceeding the design objectives before the integratedcircuit is fabricated. This will help avoid a costly redesign to correc

Google Street View launches in UK
Google's 'Street View' service, which gives users the ability to take a virtual tour of cities mapped from thousands of specially-taken photographs, has launched today in the UK.
The service, which will initially launch in 25 British cities including Manchester, London and Belfast, was originally unveiled in May 2007, and has since been expanded to nine countries, including Japan, Australia, France and Spain, as well as the US where it launched. Images were taken by specially modified Google Street View cars, which are fitted with 360-degree photographic equipment, and are estimated to have travelled 22,369 miles in the process of mapping the UK cities available to view today.
Accessible via Google Maps, Street View captures not only the landmarks of the cities covered; it also gives a snapshot of everyday life, with other cars and pedestrians photographed in the same detail as the streets around them. This has led to concerns over whether the mapping constitutes an invasion of privacy, and even allegations that it may aid potential criminals to plan crimes.
As an acknowledgement of these concerns, Google has employed special techniques to obscure faces and number-plates in the images.
The service has also partnered with a number of UK organisations to provide extra content, including Visit Britain, FancyaPint.com and the Tate, all of whom have contributed suggestions to a series of Street View galleries highlighting some of the country's tourist hotspots.
As a cheeky sidenote to the launch, Google have hidden popular children's book character Wally from Martin Handford's 'Where's Wally?' series somewhere in today's release, challenging users of the site to find the forgetful traveller, who is wearing his trademark jumper, walking stick and red and white striped bobble hat.

Supplier Scene
Gibson Guitars was well represented at this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC with a float that featured a scale replica of a cherryburst Les Paul. There's some post-parade grumbling amongst the blogosphere due to the fact that the Gibson float - featuring Jimmy Fallon (Sure, why not? When I think "Gibson Guitars" I typically think "Jimmy Fallon"...) - was playing "We Will Rock You," a song well known for having hardly any guitar, whatsoever.

Intelligence school in Denver, CO was thought-provoking, complicated, and opened enigmatic doors I never thought existed. We mastered the art of dissemination; gained knowledge of codes; planned and plotted and analyzed envisioned missions; studied Soviet military equipment to master photographic interpretation; and were privy to a few top secret particulars that are now prehistoric. As Sun Tzu wrote 2,500 years ago in his military masterpiece The Art of War, "Know your enemy better than you know yourself."
This is my second Christmas season without my mother, and so far it's been harder than the first. I had known that the first year would be hard, and all I really cared about was surviving it. Activity was my friend: My sister Kathy and I spent the fall wrapping up her estate, selling her house, and sharing her prized possessions with family and friends. We talked every day. Much of our connection was activity-based: Was her account closed? Were the papers signed? It was hard, but I had known that it was going to be hard -- so I ...
Japan is working hard at forgetting. Its prime minister, Shinzo Abe, suggests in code-talk that Japan was the victim of World War II - no war criminals at all, thank you - and its influential conservative press, with a wink from the government, is determined to whitewash the country's use of sex slaves during the war. This sort of thing can be catching. Maybe others will forget why they consider Japan a friend.
You may recall that I vigorously opposed passage of a constitutional amendment in 2012 creating the State Charter School Commission that would allow an alternative method for authorizing charter schools in Georgia. You may recall, also, that the amendment passed handily. So much for my vigor.
I have always loved Christmas and its traditions; even as I have grown older, I find that really deep in my heart I still believe in Santa Claus and the spirit of the whole season, and I just can't wait until I see the "Frosty the Snowman" and "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" re-runs at this time of year with the grandchildren.
This was written in a cave somewhere in Greater Bora Bora. The column was floated across the ocean in an RC Cola bottle to this newspaper. (I have no idea how the editors got it from bottle to print. I assumed that if editors can figure out where commas go, they ought to be able to figure out how to print a column in a bottle.)
Last month, the police commissioner of New York, Bill Bratton, was quizzed at a conference by Jeffrey Toobin, a writer for The New Yorker. Bratton had been the police chief in Boston and Los Angeles, as well as New York's once before, and he is a well-known champion of what is known as the "broken windows" school of policing. Toobin asked him what could account for the precipitous drop in crime in New York City. Bratton responded in a flash: The cops.

Did you set out when you were young with the sure belief that you were going to change the world?
Last week you would have thought we were living in two different states. North of the Gnat Line, it seemed like Siberia. Even possums and yard dogs were hugging each other trying to stay warm.
Even before 'Taps' faded from Georgia State Trooper Chadwick LeCory's funeral people were wondering how Gregory Favor, a man with an extensive criminal record, could be out of jail to - allegedly - perpetrate such an act.
It's the third consecutive day that we have been snowed in. I had thought that I would have time to read, reflect and get organized while my two children frolicked in the snow. Instead, my days have been filled with cooking meals, cleaning up and doing laundry after changing wet, dirty, snowy clothes into wearable garments. We have gone through almost 3 gallons of milk making hot chocolate.
There's a scene in the epic World War II film, "Saving Private Ryan," that always gets me. The Tom Hanks character, Capt. Miller, at D-Day plus three, having endured 45 of his men killed and 90 wounded knocking out Nazi artillery pieces, has been summoned to company headquarters, away from the action, for reassignment. While awaiting orders, the battle-weary captain takes in the surroundings. Nearby, a soldier casually shaves with water heated over a fire, while a companion chows down on a freshly made Dagwood-style sandwich.
The recent snow-followed-by-ice storm was unusual for our area.
Kids and canines love snow.
To Nicholas Wansley and Brian and Thomas Yarbrough:
"My first memory of a congressional swearing in dates to Jan. 3, 1979, when members of the 96th Congress took the oath. My father, Newt Gingrich, was among them. After losses in 1974 and 1976, he had finally won the seat for Georgia's 6th Congressional District, to become the sole Republican congressman or senator from Georgia.
