One positive trend in life science entrepreneurship is that universities are increasingly partnering with entrepreneurs to help them bring new products to market.
"Universities are developing new models in how they work with individuals and government," says Mike Beckloff, VP and general manager of Beckloff Associates, a scientific and regulatory consulting group owned by Cardinal Health. "Academic institutions are becoming more aware of the value of their R & D, and trying to find ways to capitalize on their investment to bring in more research dollars. We're on the verge of seeing some major changes in how drugs develop in university systems."
Regis Kelly PhD, a former UCSF professor, agrees. "Increasingly, universities are deciding to come down from their ivory towers and deciding to do something about the problems of society," says Kelly, director of the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3).
QB3 is a partnership between the state of California, private industry, venture capital, and the University of California campuses at Berkeley, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz. QB3 is one of four California Institutes for Science and Innovation established in 2000 to ensure the future of the state's economy by promoting research and innovation.
Coupling innovation centers and universities is "a new model that is working very well," says Kelly, who has led QB3 since its founding in 2004. With more than 200 researchers, QB3 has grown to over 220 research labs with 40 members of the National Academies and two Nobel laureates; helped launch 65 companies that have raised over $230 million in capital; and formed three major industry partnerships.
QB3 provides a number of services for startups. They include the QB3 Garage system (which provides lab and office space), QB3 Startup in a Box (a package designed to take entrepreneurs from an idea to a well-structured company), the QB3 Accelerator (in the works — a membership program for startups to reduce costs of operation) and financing through Mission Bay Capital, its seed-stage venture fund.
QB3 has a screening facility to assess the efficacy and safety of new drugs, Kelly says. "We have tried to 'de-risk' companies as much as possible."
Nicholas Franano, M.D., CEO of Kansas City-based Novita Therapeutics, can provide an entrepreneur's perspective on partnering with universities.
Franano discovered a method of rapidly and persistently dilating blood vessels while a research fellow at Johns Hopkins Hospital. After leaving Hopkins, Franano formed Proteon Therapeutics with a co-founder in 2001 and licensed the rights to the intellectual property. Franano then set up Proteon to develop PRT-201, a recombinant human protein, for clinical use as a "biological stent" for patients with chronic kidney disease and peripheral vascular disease.
Franano says the technology transfer office at Hopkins helped him through the licensing and startup process, "knowing that PRT-201 could generate over a billion dollars a year in sales and create millions of dollars per year in license fees for the university, even with a modest royalty rate. If that occurs, the $40,000 investment in salary and lab support will have generated a very attractive return" said Franano.
"If I could give one piece of advice to university technology transfer officers it would be to focus on helping commercial partners get products to market successfully, rather than achieving certain deal terms."
The process of securing the license agreement with his university was a learning process for Franano.
"What really helped me was educating myself about the process, and finding attorneys and advisors who were on a first-name basis with the technology transfer officers I was negotiating with," he explains. "These consultants advised me on how the process worked at Hopkins. Hiring someone who was local and familiar with the university worked really well for me."
Proteon, now headquartered in Waltham, Mass., negotiated a deal with Novartis AG in March that gives the Swiss company an option to buy Proteon for more than $550 million. The sale could go through in 2013, pending results from the phase 2 clinical trial of PRT-201.
Franano says he has one regret: "relinquishing my royalty as the inventor, which I did to get the most favorable terms for the license. I had venture capitalists advising the royalty was 'double-dipping', but if I had fought harder, I might have gotten to keep it."
Franano's current company is developing medical devices for cardiovascular and renal diseases.

Administrator's Guide
This document outlines usage for the replication administration tool. Using the admin tool, administrators can add or remove nodes in a replication cluster, alter the node metadata for some or all of the nodes in a replication cluster, and view the existing configuration. Currently, the admin tool allows administrators to perform the following tasks:
- Create a new Cluster Configuration Database (CCDB) with no configuration data
- Create a new replication cluster from existing databases
- Insert new configuration data into the CCDB, augmenting existing data
- Update existing configuration data into the CCDB, changing existing data
- Completely refresh the CCDB with new data, replacing existing data
- Display the current Cluster configuration node topology with all node metadata (e.g. the database connection URL and the replicated tables)
The admin tool uses a command line user interface and takes the following options.
Cluster configuration xml data file. This option also causes the replication schema to be installed on every node specified in FILE (if not already installed), and will attach the replication triggers to all replicated tables
Used with the -data option. Installs the replication schema on each node and adds triggers to the node's replicated tables. Applies to both master and slave nodes in a cluster.
Used with the -data option. Initializes each slave node's snapshot status using either the existing master for the node's cluster, or from the slave itself. Can be one of MASTER, SLAVE, or NONE. MASTER examines the master database for the slave node's cluster and uses the latest row from the snapshotlog. This option is only appropriate if no updates have occured on the master since the slave was created. SLAVE assumes that the slave node being initialized is a transactional backup of an existing master. The master may have been updated since the transactional backup was created - but that's OK. NONE will do nothing. This is the default. Use this option if the node being initialized was created from a transactional backup of an existing slave.
Lists metadata for master and slave nodes for all clusters at URL
When specified, the configuration database schema is applied to URL.
Can be one of INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE or CLEAN_INSERT. INSERT inserts data into the database, leaving existing rows as they are. UPDATE updates existing rows in the database. CLEAN_INSERT removes any existing data in the database, replacing with new data provided. DELETE deletes existing rows in the database. This option is only used in conjunction with the -data option
Configuration database password
Configuration database connection URL
Prints this message
-user USERNAME
Configuration database username
With these options in mind, let's look at each of the tasks mentioned earlier and see how to accomplish them. To follow along at home, you'll need to get a recent build of the replication system, have a Java 1.5 JDK, a GCC compiler, and a penchant for adventure.
As noted, you'll need a few things before you can do any of this.
- Replication - Download the latest release http://svn.yfdirect.net:8080/cruisecontrol/buildresults/bruce-sandbox here.
- GCC - Once you have the replication system, you'll need to install the postgres extensions on the replication database(s) you are using. From the downloaded package, cd into the csrc directory and type "sudo make install". (TODO: This could use more explanation)
- JDK 1.5 - You'll need this to run the admin tool and the replication daemon. For best results, create an environment variable called JAVA_HOME that points to the top level directory of your JDK installation.
Creating a New Cluster Configuration Database
In this use case we simply want to create a new CCDB with no replication clusters configured. A very basic task that administrators may want to perform before loading any cluster configuration data into the database. A new database won't let you do anything until you have some configuration data in it. But we'll get to that in time. In any case, let's see how to simply create the new database.
Change into the bin directory and type the following command.
./admin.sh -url <URL> -loadschema
Replace URL with the JDBC url for your configuration database. Voila! You now have a cluster configuration database installed. As mentioned, this doesn't get you very far. So let's look next at creating a replication cluster from scratch using existing databases.
Create a New Replication Cluster From Existing Databases
This command will allow a user to create a completely new replication cluster from an existing database(s). First let's look at the command line.
./admin.sh -url <URL> -loadschema -data <DATA_FILE> -initnodeschema -operation CLEAN_INSERT -initsnapshots MASTER
In this case, admin.sh will make a connection to URL, load the configuration schema onto that database to create a CCDB, load <DATA_FILE> into the CCDB, and wipe out any existing configuration that may have been there before. We've already covered the -loadschema option, so I won't mention that except to say that if you performed the -loadschema command in our first example, you can leave this option out.
The data file that the admin tool uses is a simple XML file that describes a data set. There is example in sample/config.xml in the replication distribution. A small sample of that file looks like so:
As you can see, the format is very straightforward and easy to understand. You declare the tables and columns, and then add rows with values for each column. Using this sample, you can quickly and easily get a replication cluster up and running in no time. Simply alter the database URLs and includetable regular expressions in the datafile to point to your database and tables. Then run the command above and startup the replication daemon.
Setting up a replication cluster in this way makes some assumptions however. The system assumes that all of the slaves are identical to the master in the replication cluster you have configured. If they are not, replication will still work, but any data not in a slave when the admin tool is run will remain only in the master. The slaves will simply begin replicating from that point forward.
Insert new configuration data into the CCDB, augmenting existing data
This use case is very similar to creating a new replication cluster from scratch as previously demonstrated. Except in this case, you just want to add configuration for a new cluster or new nodes, so you don't need the -loadschema option, and you'll want to change CLEAN_INSERT to INSERT. The command now looks like this:
./admin.sh -url <URL> -data <DATA_FILE> -operation INSERT
Update existing configuration data into the CCDB, changing existing data
To update existing configuration data with new values, simply change the operation to UPDATE.
./admin.sh -url <URL> -data <DATA_FILE> -operation UPDATE
Completely refresh the CCDB with new data, replacing existing data
If you think about it, this is just like starting from scratch. You are clearing out the configuration to nothing. Then you are installing a new configuration. The command is the same as mentioned above for starting from scratch.
./admin.sh -url <URL> -loadschema -data <DATA_FILE> -operation CLEAN_INSERT
Display the current Cluster configuration node topology with all node metadata
This command makes no changes to the CCDB at all. Instead, its purpose is to help administrators keep up with the tables being replicated by each node in the system. That command and some sample output looks like this:
mercury:bin lanceball$ ./admin.sh -url jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/bruce_config?user=lanceball -list
Using JAVA_HOME: /Library/Java/Home
Metadata for cluster ClusterOne
Name: Cluster 0 - Primary master
URL: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/bruce_master?user=lball
Include table: replication_test\..+
Matching tables:
Name: Cluster 0 - Slave Uno
URL: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/bruce_slave_1?user=lball
Include table: replication_test\..+
Matching tables:
Name: Cluster 0 - Slave Dos
URL: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/bruce_slave_2?user=lball
Include table: replication_test\..+
Matching tables:
As you can see, the output displays the cluster name "ClusterOne", the master for the cluster, and each slave. It displays the user-specified metadata for each node, such as the URL and the Include table regular expression. In addition, if a connection can be made to the node, the database is examined and a list of tables that will be replicated by the system is displayed. In the example above, the sample/config.xml file was used to create a new replication cluster from scratch. Each node in the cluster has a schema called replication_test and a table called replicate_this which will be replicated. Note that the admin tool will not create the tables you want to replicate. If you are using the example data file, you'll want to add a replication_test schema and a replication_test.replicate_this table to each node in the cluster.

For Sale: 1950 Mercury Mercury
1950 Mercury Custom
Ad #181993267 Posted:2014-12-01 09:36:06
This ad expired 90 days ago.
1950 Mercury Custom In the world of lead sleds and stretched out customs the Mercury is king. The long dramatic body lines from stock create a look that would have any car builder slobbering and coming up with ideas. This 50 Mercury is one awesome custom that gets a TON of attention. The body was entirely customized by Ken Wakefield where he chopped, channeled, decked, frenched, molded, nosed, and louvered in all the right places giving birth to this beautiful machine. The car is custom throughout from front to rear. It drives extremely well and gets a ton of attention wherever it goes. When this classic rolls into the show, crowds form. The body is solid and topped in a show quality Black paint that is then accented with some of the coolest flames and pinstriping around. These were laid down by Mitch Kim and the flames veer off to each side of the hood to expose the louvers and continue even onto the roof! Flames always get attention and look great on street rods but these will have no problem standing out among the rest. All of the chrome on the car has a great finish with custom 52 Buick stainless trim accenting the side. Had the Ford builders seen this trim in place you can bet that would have incorporated it in because it truly looks like it should be there from original. The front "tooth" grill is from a 52 Desoto and sits between custom frenched 52 Buick headlights. This isn't a hodgepodge of strange customizations like you see on some of these cars but a well thought out and designed classic where everything fits. The car has a sleek stance with fender skirts in rear and rides on vintage steel wheels with 1957 Cadillac hubcaps and wide white wall radial tires. Getting this classic moving is a 383 stroker motor that runs very well. These motors are known for there torque and it has no problem moving this big piece of steel down the road. Edelbrock valve covers are in place with a old school style Cadillac air cleaner. A 700R4 automatic with overdrive transmission is in place and shifts smoothly sending power back to the 4:10 rear end. An after market GM front clip has been added incorporating disc brakes which are power assisted. In addition to the power brakes the car is fully loaded with power steering, power windows, power doors, and a power trunk. The interior is completed in Black with small Purple accents on the seat. It is done in a cloth/vinyl combo that looks great. The Cadillac front bench seat and TBird rear seat are comfortable and allow plenty of leg room. The dash utilizes the original style trim but has been refitted with all Dakota Digital gauges. Below the dash a center section has been added to house the very high end Alpine CVA1000 stereo. Everything on this car is show quality and it needs nothing. Pull into a show with this car and you will see just how popular it is! Cruise in a super cool Mercury for $52,500.00!

Is LexisNexis exiting the academic and public library markets?
No - LexisNexis is retaining its flagship products for academic researchers and public library patrons:
- LexisNexis Academic
- LexisNexis Library Express
- LexisNexis Scholastic
- LexisNexis State Capital
LexisNexis will also continue to provide solutions for the administrative, fund raising, and legal offices of academic institutions and public libraries, including:
- LexisNexis for Development Professionals
- Lexis.com
- Nexis.com
- TotalPatent
- TimeMatters
How will international sales of these products be handled?
ProQuest has purchased the CIS and UPA products and the rights to sell them in all markets, including internationally. LexisNexis will continue to sell the products it has retained both domestically and internationally.
Why did LexisNexis sell the CIS and UPA product lines?
The sale was made as part of a LexisNexis effort to align its Academic & Library Solutions products, services, and content around its core mission of providing advanced solutions for legal, news, and business research and information management. The specialized content of CIS and UPA does not support this mission, so the decision was made to divest them. We firmly believe that the academic researchers who rely on these products will be well served in the future by ProQuest, which has an outstanding reputation for its academic research databases.
What happens to the employees of LexisNexis Academic & Library Solutions?
ProQuest has extended offers of employment to all the employees of LexisNexis Academic & Library Solutions who spent the majority of their time focusing on the CIS and UPA product lines, including the field account representatives and the Sales Support team. LexisNexis is retaining those employees who spent the majority of their time focused on the academic and library products it is retaining, including the sales team and the product management team.
Is my sales representative changing?
Not for U.S. customers. For the foreseeable future, we plan to keep account assignments unchanged across both LexisNexis and ProQuest products. For international customers, ProQuest representatives will be assigned to international accounts for CIS/UPA products, and they will be contacting you in the near future to introduce themselves and begin to understand your needs and how they may assist you. Please see the Contact Us page for your U.S. LexisNexis Account Manager.
Whom do I call for help?
Support for all products remains unchanged for now. For more information see the Contact Us page.

OXFORD, Ohio- It was a back-and-forth affair at Millett Hall on Wednesday night, one that saw the Miami University men's basketball team (7-8, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) come out on top of the Bowling Green Falcons (6-10, 1-2 MAC), 63-60. Junior forward Will Felder led the RedHawks with 20 points, a career high. Junior center Drew McGhee added a season-high 14 points off the bench to help Miami to its second straight victory.
After trailing most of the game, Felder nailed a jumper with two minutes remaining to hand the RedHawks a 61-60 lead. Freshman guard Geovonie McKnight had a pair of big defensive plays in the final 1:37, including taking a charge with 57 seconds left that set up junior guard Quinten Rollins' clutch jumper with 19 seconds left to give the RedHawks three-point cushion with a 63-60 lead.
Miami got off to a sluggish start and fell behind 9-0 before the RedHawks came back to score five unanswered points, all from Rollins. Felder threw down two monster dunks on consecutive possessions and junior forward Allen Roberts nailed a three to put Miami on top, 12-11, almost eight minutes into the half.
The Falcons proceeded to go on a 10-4 scoring run capped off by an explosive alley-oop to Richaun Holmes to regain the lead, 21-16, with just over seven minutes remaining. That was followed by back-to-back baskets from Bowling Green's leading scorer Jordan Crawford, the latter being a 3-pointer, to extend the Falcons' lead to 10 points.
Miami fought back to come within four points and went into halftime down by that margin, 34-30.
Despite the slow start for the RedHawks, they ended up shooting over 56 percent from the field in the first half, though that was still lower than the Falcons' 64 percent. Bowling Green's Crawford and A'uston Calhoun led all scorers with 13 points, while Miami's first half leading scorer was Roberts with nine.
Crawford continued his strong game by opening up the second half with a three. Miami scored 11 of the next 16 points, however, to pull within one, 42-41. It was Crawford again, though, who put Bowling Green back up by four with another trey. The RedHawks stayed close thanks to a great second-half performance from McGhee and found themselves tied at 55-55 with just over five minutes remaining in the game.
A jumper from Bowling Green's Calhoun put his team up by two, but he was quickly answered by Roberts to bring the score back to a tie, 57-57. Calhoun split his free-throw chances on the Falcons' next possession, and a layup from McGhee gave Miami its first lead since 12:41 of the first half. The two squads traded baskets that kept the RedHawk lead at one, 61-60, with 2:00 left.
With less than a minute remaining, Crawford turned the ball over to the RedHawks and, with the shot clock winding down, Rollins hit a jumper to put his team up 63-60 with just 19 seconds left on the clock. On what looked like the Falcons' final possession, Roberts stole the ball from Crawford and was sent to the charity stripe for an opportunity to ice the game. A missed free throw later and Bowling Green was heading down the court with one last shot, but it failed to capitalize and when the horn sounded the RedHawks were victorious, 63-60.
Felder and McGhee led Miami in scoring with 20 and 14 points, respectively. Roberts also ended up in double figures with 13 points. Felder also led the team with seven rebounds.
Crawford and Calhoun were Bowling Green's leading scorers, with each scoring 21 points. No other Falcon reached double digits.
This was the first game that Miami has won despite trailing at halftime this season. Tonight's game was also just the third time that the RedHawks have outrebounded an opponent this season, hauling in 24 rebounds compared to Bowling Green's 21.
Miami's next game is this Saturday at Eastern Michigan. The game is scheduled to tip off at 2 p.m. After that, the RedHawks will return home for three straight games at Millett Hall, starting with a Wednesday tilt against rival Ohio on January 23, which starts at 7 p.m.

House subcommittee approves 24 percent cut to IRS budget
Tuesday - 7/9/2013, 8:35pm EDT
UPDATED July 10 at 3:15 p.m. to include detail on subcommittee passage
The embattled Internal Revenue Service faces a 24 percent cut to its budget next year, under a spending plan approved by a House Appropriations subcommittee Wednesday.
The bill includes about $9 billion in funding for the IRS, which is about $4 billion less than President Barack Obama proposed in his 2014 budget request and nearly $3 billion less than fiscal 2013.
Another 10 percent of the funding allocated for IRS enforcement activities would be withheld until the agency implements new inspector general recommendations. The funding bill also prohibits the agency from spending money on employee conferences until new IG recommendations are fully implemented and also bars new spending on employee bonuses and performance awards.
The IRS funding was included in the committee's Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill, which also includes funding for the Treasury Department, the General Services Administration and the Executive Office of the President.
House appropriators say the spending restrictions, which also set in place strict reporting requirements on the use of new funding, will help prevent future abuses at the agency.
In May, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) reported the agency had improperly targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status. The following month, the IG reported IRS officials spent nearly $50 million on employee conferences between 2010 and 2012.
"This bill right-sizes federal agencies and programs that are simply not working efficiently or effectively, while investing in programs that directly serve the American people," House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) said in a statement.
However, the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents IRS employees, blasted the proposed funding levels.
"A cut of 24 percent — nearly a quarter of the IRS funding — would take the agency's budget back to just above the level of more than a decade ago, in fiscal 2001," NTEU President Colleen Kelley said in a statement. "In terms of the ability of the IRS to meet its mission on behalf of the American people, such a budget would absolutely devastate the agency."
The IRS budget has declined by nearly $1 billion since 2011, according to NTEU. Congress slashed funding by more than $300 million last fiscal year and across- the-board budget cuts lopped another $600 million from the agency's bottom line this year. All told, the funding reductions have caused the IRS workforce to shrink by about 8,000 employees since the end of fiscal 2010, NTEU says.
GSA, SBA also slated for reductions
The larger appropriations bill includes a total of $17 billion in funding for agencies ranging from the White House and GSA to the Small Business Administration. That's $4.3 billion less than Congress approved for fiscal 2013 and about $3 billion less than the agencies will receive this year, taking into account sequestration.
The committee's bill allocates $624 million to the Executive Office of the President — a $46 million cut from the current year's level. The bill would also require the White House to submit its budget request to Congress on time or have another $45 million in funding withheld until it does so.
This year, amid high-stakes political negotiations surrounding sequestration, the White House was more than two months late in submitting its annual budget outline.
The bill funds GSA at $7.5 billion — about $2.4 billion less than what GSA requested and $476 million less than what it was allocated this year. GSA funding comes from the Federal Buildings Fund, which is essentially rent paid to GSA by other agencies to use federal buildings. However, Congress must approve GSA's use of that funding.
Under the legislation, GSA would be subject to new reporting requirements for its inventory of federal property.
The bill slates $898 million for the SBA — a 14 percent reduction from current-year levels.
IRS cancels manager bonuses; union employees could be next
IG: IRS violated few policies in spending millions on conferences

Always on the lookout for classic French bistros, a friend and I recently stopped at Au Petit Riche. I'd eaten there before and found the food decent, but I remember the company a little better than the food. I was dazzled by the stunning interior and the conversation, which should have been a tip off since I rarely forget anything I eat that's good.
Many Americans have become more astute about dining and want to know where the ingredients are from, how they are handled, what part of the animal they're getting. It's part of the farmer's market movement, as well as a number of folks striving to eat locally or at least show some concern for where and how their foodstuffs are raised.
And there's also the do-it-yourself movement, where everything from upstart ice cream shops are opening, and of course the bean-to-bar movement, where every step of the process is carefully tended to. In general, the French don't ask those questions because France has always been a deeply agricultural country, with close ties to their terroir. When dining with friends from the states in Paris, I know they'd be disappointed to find frozen green beans with their steak, or boiled white rice heaped on a salade Niçoise. So I am always careful to steer them away from some of the classic bistros on their lists, ones they may have eaten at a decade ago, or that a friend recommended.

PLYMOUTH, Mich.-Finishing second at the U.S. National Championships, the Miami University senior synchronized skating team has earned a berth to the ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships April 5-6 in Boston, Mass. The RedHawks will make their 10th world championship appearance and first since 2011.
For the second consecutive year, the RedHawk senior team was recognized by the Professional Figure Skaters Association for the best team performance at the national championships. The RedHawks earned the award for their free skate program on Saturday evening.
Completing an impressive weekend of skating for all three RedHawk teams at the national championships, Miami's senior team earned a combined score of 191.28 after collecting a mark of 125.54 for its 1920's inspired free skate on Saturday evening. Miami earned a program component score of 69.25 and a technical element score of 57.29 but had one deduction.
Miami topped its previous season-high for the free skate by more than 25 points, while destroying its previous season-best combined score by 43.06 points.
The Haydenettes finished first in both the short program and free skate events and won the competition with a score of 206.33. Crystallettes finished third in both events and earned a combined score of 176.96 to place third at the national championships. Skyliners (151.56), ICE'Kateers (151.24), California Gold (140.06), Starlights (140.01), Western Michigan (109.62) and Team Excel (89.27) rounded out the senior field, respectively.
The RedHawk senior team has a month to prepare for the world championships.
Earlier in the evening, the RedHawk collegiate team won its ninth-straight national title to tie a U.S. Figure Skating record for consecutive national titles. It was the 15th national title for Miami at the collegiate level. (Complete Release)

The Genealogical and Historical Room has one of the most outstanding reference collections of its type in the South. It was founded in 1923 by the Mary Hammond Washington Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who realized the need for the library to provide source material and assistance for people tracing their lineage and searching for facts about their ancestors. They also believed that certain old and irreplaceable records of local and regional history should be preserved for the future and made available for researchers.
Starting with a small but valuable collection given by the James Hyde Porter family and housed in part of a small room, the Genealogical and Historical Room has grown to include more than 32,000 volumes and over 24,000 microforms. Located on the ground floor of the Washington Memorial Library, it is considered outstanding by genealogists and historians from all over the United States. Last year over 13,000 researchers came from 38 states and 5 foreign countries to use the facilities.
The growth of this room is a direct result of the support of enthusiastic and
interested people and groups of people who, living not only in Macon but in many
other parts of the country, have generously given money, books, and furnishings.
Many of these gifts have been as memorials; the bookplates and the plaques on
the equipment and furnishings give some indication as to those persons who have
been responsible for the success of this room.
Click here for a list of sources housed in the Genealogical and Historical Room.
General guidance and assistance is furnished by the staff of the Genealogical and Historical
Room. Reference service is available in person or by mail.
Photocopiers and microfilm/microfiche printers are available for the
reproduction of materials.

TPD Patrol District 3
TPD Patrol District 3
Major Diane Hobley-Burney
District III officers patrol 24 square miles and serve 77,760 Tampa residents.
The District Three Patrol Division servesEast Tampa, the Ybor City area and Port of Tampa with uniformed officer patrols, ROC squads and propertycrimes detectives. Some of the points ofinterest in District Three are; the Ybor City Entertainment District, Channelside District, DowntownTampa, and the expansive Port of Tampa. They also work with the East Tampa Community Revitalization Partnership. The uniformedofficers are deployed on a four days on, four days off work cycle (see shiftcycle calendar at left) with twelve squads averaging twelve officers per squad. The uniformed officers are the highlyvisible components of the department and are the officers who typically respondto calls for service in Tampa.
A squad ofplainclothes detectives, the District Latent Investigation Squad is assigned toDistrict Three for latent investigation of crimes against property, robbery, auto theft, and economic crimes occurring in the area encompassed by the district. Part of the squad is also charged withconducting latent investigations on different types of assaults ranging fromminor to serious.
Rapid Offender Control Officers
Rapid Offender Control Officers, known as ROC, focus on high crime areas called Offender Control Zones. They are armed with intelligence about repeat offenders and crime patterns in their zones so they can more rapidly identify suspects, solve crimes and prevent additional crimes from occurring. These officers immediately begin the follow up investigation in concert with Patrol before a detective is assigned to a case. One of the ROC Officers is working in each Offender Control Zone around the clock. The crime problems of each hot zone determine if ROC Officers focus on street level narcotics, burglaries, prostitution, robberies or other crimes. A tactical lieutenant oversees the day to day crime patterns and deployment of ROC Officers. They coordinate between Patrol and District Detective Squads to ensure all entities are sharing intelligence and working together to address crime patterns. This supervisor also serves as a key point of contact for citizens, which has enhanced working relationships with the community.
Crime Prevention
A Crime Prevention Unit is assigned to each district which includes of a sworn police officer and a civilian employee. The team works together in conjunction with community and business leaders in order to improve the quality of life of citizens within their districts. They work daily with citizens within their respective districts in order to solve various quality of life problems such as; overgrown properties, loud music complaints, elderly affairs issues, etc. The team also strives to inform and educate citizens of prevention tactics designed to prevent property crimes such as; home burglaries, auto theft, and auto burglaries. The team also encourages citizens to become involved in a Neighborhood WatchProgram, this is a program created to enlist the time and talents of volunteers for the purpose of crime prevention. Informed and alert citizens who look out for one another are more likely to prevent crimes in their neighborhoods by reporting suspicious behavior to the Police.

Steph i love that Rockwell piece, it's great to see your take on it.
Not that it hasn't been mentioned before but all your colors seem to be in the same value even though people are on different plane in the picture (i.e. gorilla and kids foreground, dad and car mid ground, and mom background) you should try to play with the value of these colors and maybe even change the colors in some places Value effects depth more then color...infact value truly expresses depth color just gives it a punch and can affect the composition. Can't wait to see it textured, maybe it will bring out the depth in the picture more and help with the values cant wait to see something truly amazing, like we know to expect .

Taj Thanks for the crit dude! For some reason I have been reluctant to really expand my value range in my work, so hopefully I can grow a pair of value balls for the next piece and pay better attention to that
Coinpurse Haha, it may well be.
28chelseaslater So glad all has arrived safely! Yeti has gotten soooooo many compliments since he got here, he's a valued member of the family. Unfortunately I am just not able to afford New Zealand this year, but if you find your self at WonderCon, APE or Comic Con, we could likely cross paths. I would love to meet you too!
kelly x Thanks Kelly Has the other piece sold, I hope I hope?
picksel Glad it put a smile on your face, thank you!
Onir Thanks so much for the crit dude After seeing Wall-E, I am even more encouraged to keep trying for Pixar, so I truly appreciate the well-wishes. With the UPA stuff, I haven't watches a lot in my recent years, although I am aware that's where McCracken draws a lot of influence from. I do have a book called "Cartoon Modern" which is a collection of a lot of UPA and UPA-era work. It's a regular on my bookshelf!
Carnifex Thanks dude! Every dysfunctional family needs to be illustrated at least once in a lifetime. And I didn't see the "boobs" title issue till you pointed it out, now I don't want to change it
Chiko Thanks so much!
Ok, another dumpy. Here's the cover art for my art book WHICH YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BUY AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE! I also stuck a PugFish in there in shallow hopes of boosting sales... and of course, to further exploit nature's little atrocity, the Pug.
Hope you guys like!

kelly x Thanks hon, will most definitely be hoping!
Weighing in with June's overdue Steph of the Month. Someone on the forums once joked that he was worried about me, what with drawing all that cute stuff, where did all the rage and bad stuff go?
Like every other human, it aaaaaaalllllll goes inside. Here's an example - how I spent my month of June. Such a damn waste to worry so much ._. Geh. Time for a rest.
Book starts shipping in a little over a week though, much love to everyone who has pre-ordered

Oh so you have Cartoon Modern! Great book, used it to write a paper on UPA last semester. Yea though, I just figured I'd ask about UPA since I know you've got a really strong stylistic approach and have a background in animation. I've yet to see Wall-E actually (I'm a bad animation student hehe), but I'm gonna try my hardest to get out to it!
Great pieces in these last couple of posts, interesting range of emotions as well hehe. The cover art is amazing, love the expressions and poses on all 3 characters. Really playful, seems like a great way to introduce your work hehe. I must say that I looove the look of the pugcrab; keeping the line work there in a subtle way as you have and still utilizing the texture has a really nice visual effect. You've also gotten quite adept as capturing the funny look pugs seem to keep hehe.
Is this last one all digital? The more I look at it the more certain elements look like real paper to me. Great attention to detail with the shadows and texture, as well as the idea of depth from layering. Honestly, my favorite part of the piece is the tablet hehe. Not sure why, but the way you made it really sticks out to me. If I can offer a crit, for some reason the large arrow arms of the clock are keeping me up in the triangle created by the clock, pig, and calendar. It's nice in a way, as it helps you from getting trapped in the face of the character, but seeing that area first (probably because I was scrolling down when I initially saw it) kinda stuck me up there. Probably just me in the end though Great work as always!

Book preordered! Cephalopods and boobs, two things I love dearly.
You've pumped out a ton of fantastic work lately. My family went on a lot of road trips when I was a kid too, so the car trip one really brings back a lot of memories. The latest self portrait is great too. The broken heart mended with tape is a great bittersweet detail.
I'm such a Steph fanboy.

I really love "Don't Flash the Octopus."
Just finished reading through it right now. I got all choked up when I came across this one, with the broken piggy bank and scotch tape holding your heart together; and then almost lost it when I came to the one with you eating the toast and jam. Its so cute and sad at the same time...
I hope things are feeling a little better now.
The mermaids totally made me swoon though, and the sexy Centaurs too. I think the printed colors on the Gorilla in the rain also turned out really well; and the crab with the doggy biscuit is easily the most adorable thing I've seen all year. Very impressed, just wanted to tell you.
If you're not familiar with I Ching, which I wasn't until I met someone special, the lines won't make sense but it's the hexagram for "Nourishment". It has a lot of meaning to me now and will as time passes.
Have fun this weekend and don't forget to go to the beach while you're down here.

Hey everyone! I am still alive and of sound health Thank you so much for the words of support and encouragement... especially when this SB was falling into its occasional bout of neglect. I've had a hard time finding a reason to get out of bed some days within the last few months (let alone find inspiration and reasons to draw...!) but was pleasantly surprised with an abundance of paid work recently and have found a few sparks here and there. In other words, I feel poopy but I still have some ideas hanging around. ^_~
So while I wish I had epic, experimental and daring updates for this book, you're gonna have to settle for more self portraits, a few thumbs for a comic idea and studies for this month's Steph o' the Month. And oh yeah, last month's So'tM. You might have seen it in the FF section, or you might not. Fun facts: the sepia self po' was drawn during a panic attack and the So'tM will be featured at the Axiotron booth at MacWorld this January in the form of a 16 foot printed banner. If you're in the area, swing by to see it or better yet, swing by to say hi to me as I will be doing art demos in the booth to promote ModBooks.
So yeah. Letting things settle before the holidays and scrambling for some new direction. But at the very least, I have paid off my bills for this year and managed to save a bit of dough, which in this day and age, is a big accomplishment in and of itself. Jeebus.
Much love and thank you for looking.

|Introduction | Preview
Panasonic is announcing a reworked 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor and a revised design so as to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). At times hampered by a slightly smaller sensor than those of the Sony NEX or Samsung NX lines, Panasonic's redesigned 4:3 sensor uses two noise filtering methods, 3DNR (3D noise reduction) and MNR (multiprocess noise reduction), and is supposed to offer a lower SNR.
Compacts hybrids have made enormous progress in terms of reducing focus delay and according to Panasonic, the GF5 can focus in 0.09 second, or in other words, the same performance as the GX1. We are now in the realm of instantaneousness.
As with previous generations of Lumix G cameras, the GF5's autofocus continues to improve its comfort and ease of use. Now users can control which zone to focus on by a simple touch of the finger. Touching a subject on the screen can also trigger subject tracking as well as trigger a shot. The "pinpoint AF" option is a kind of spot autofocus for use with delicate subjects within a very small range, or when the depth of field is limited.
The GF5 offers Full HD video mode (25p / 50i) — very attractive when coupled with continuous autofocus (just like a camcorder), which distinguishes the GF5 from the majority of HDSLRs that are far less practical when it comes to video. The basic format is AVCHD, but the GF5 can also record in MP4 for easy viewing or editing without prior conversion. The Panasonic GF5 does not have a microphone jack; however, it does have a built-in stereo microphone that records in Dolby Digital Stereo and has a high-pass filter for mitigating the effects of wind.
Though still a 3-inch screen, its resolution dramatically increases from 460,000 points on the DMC-GF3 to 920,000 points on the DMC-GF5. In addition to giving users access to various settings, the touchscreen allows users to lock the autofocus on a subject, to take shots, and with motorized lenses (such as the Lumix G X 14-42mm and Lumix G X 45-175mm), to control the zoom via the touchscreen. There is also a button on the Lumix GF5 that lets the user access the "Q menu," a handy shortcut to the most common settings.
Users will also notice a radical change in the menu layout and a much better design of the graphical user interface.
The number of art filters increases from 6 for the GF3 to 14 for the GF5 with the arrival of the Soft Focus effect (which the GF3 lacked), cross treatment or star effect to bring out the twinkle of lights in the night, low-key mode, and even the pinhole effect. In iA or iA+ (so-called "intelligent") modes, the GF5 detects the scene and recommends a selection of artistic filters. Taking advantage of Live View, the Panasonic GF5 allows users to see the filter renderings right when shooting.
The GF5 will hit the market this coming May, just in time for the high-tech photography shopping season that precedes summer vacation. It will be sold with a standard 14-42mm lens for 549 euros; for 699 euros, the camera will come with a miniaturized and motorized Lumix G X 14-42mm lens (this latter model will be called the GF5X).
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
