ST. PETERSBURG - On Tues-day, Mayor Rick Baker and Chiefof Police Charles "Chuck" Harmonintroduced the city's new PoliceMounted Unit. The PoliceMounted Unit will provide aunique and highly-visible policepresence in the downtown area,especially on weekends and dur-ing special events.

The two officers and their part-ners, who will also be present, areOfficer Ron Try, 48, a 20-year vet-eran police officer and Brooklyn, a6-year-old Percheron-Thorough-bred mixed-breed horse, 16.3hands, 1,600 pounds, dark chest-nut in color. Officer Jason Hughes,32, a police officer with six yearson the Department, and Jacob, a 4-year-old Percheron-Thoroughbredmixed-breed horse, 16.2 hands,1,800 pounds, black in color.

Both Brooklyn and Jacob cometo St. Petersburg from Boston,MA., when Boston disbanned themounted patrol.

The horses are stabled in Pinel-las Park at a cost of $400.00 permonth per horse for full board andfeed. The department is using itsforfeiture fund to pay these costs.The Boston Police Departmentrecently donated Brooklyn and Ja-cob to St. Petersburg.

UF Gemini Observatory photographsgalactic images with new instruments

BY AARON HOOVERUF NEWS BEARU

GAINESVILLE— Less than two months after they in-augurated the world’s largest telescope, University ofFlorida astronomers have used one of the world’s mostadvanced telescopic instruments to gather images of theheavens.

A team led by astronomy professor Stephen Eiken-berry late last week captured the first images of the cos-mos ever made with a UF-designed and built camera/spec-trometer affixed to the Gemini South telescope in Chile.The handful of “first light” images include a yellow andblue orb-like structure that depicts our Milky Way galaxy,home to thousands of black holes – including, at its core,a “supermassive” black hole thought to be as massive as4 million suns put together.

“We plan to use this instrument to provide the first ac-curate tracking of the growth and evolution of this blackhole over the last 4 billion years,” Eikenberry said.

Installation of the instrument, called FLAMINGOS-2,caps a seven-year, $5 million effort involving 30 UF sci-entists, engineers, students and staff. Once the instru-ment is scientifically tested — a process expected to lastaround six months — it will support a range of new sci-ence. Astronomers will use FLAMINGOS-2 (FLAMIN-GOS is short for the Florida Array Multi-object ImagingGrism Spectrometer) to hunt the universe’s first galaxies,view stars as they are being born, reveal black holes andinvestigate other phenomena.

“Achieving first light is a great achievement and im-portant milestone,” said Nancy Levenson, deputy direc-tor of the Gemini Observatory.

The 8-meter Gemini South telescope in the ChileanAndes is one of only about a dozen 8- to 10-meter tele-scopes worldwide. All require technologically sophisti-cated instruments to interpret the light they gather.FLAMINGOS-2 “sees” near-infrared or heat-generatedlight beyond the range of human vision. It can reveal ob-jects invisible to the eye, such as stars obscured by cos-mic dust, or objects so far away they have next to no vis-ible light

The instrument joins other near-infrared imagers in-stalled on other large telescopes. But it is unusual in itsability to also act as a spectrometer, dividing the light into

its component wavelengths. Astronomers analyze thesewavelengths to figure out what distant objects are madeof, how hot or cold they are, their distance from Earth, andother qualities.

Uniquely, FLAMINGOS-2 can take spectra of up to 80different objects simultaneously, speeding astronomers’hunt for old galaxies, black holes or newly forming starsand planets.

“At a cost of $1 per second for operating the Gemini tel-escope, it will make a huge gain in the scientific produc-tivity and efficiency of the observatory,” Eikenberry said.“What would take an entire year previously can now bedone in four nights. This is a real game changer.”

Astronomers compete heavily for time on the world’slargest telescopes, often waiting months or years for theopportunity to make observations. Eikenberry said hisFLAMINGOS-2 agreement with Gemini South entitleshim to at least 25 nights of observations. He will use thetime to contribute to three large studies, or surveys, ofthe sky headed by UF astronomers.

The first is aimed at learning more about the thousandsof black holes and neutron stars at the Milky Way’s cen-ter. The second will probe the formation and evolution ofgalaxies across time, while the third will investigate thebirth of new stars.

Levenson said the Gemini telescopes are well-knownfor their excellent image quality. With its wide large fieldof view and ability examine dozens of objects at once,FLAMINGOS-2 is a good match with the Gemini Southtelescope.

“The center of our Milky Way galaxy is a very dusty,very crowded environment, so infrared measurementsand the ability to separate the fine details of the differentstars and other objects are very important,” she said.

FLAMINGOS-2’s debut comes less than two monthsafter UF astronomers helped inaugurate the Gran TelescopioCanarias, the world’s largest telescope, in Spain’s Canary Is-lands. UF, which owns a 5 percent share of the 10-meter tele-

WASHINGTON – The StudentAid and Fiscal Responsibility Act,cosponsored by Florida Con-gresswoman Kathy Castor, ispoised to pass the U.S. House ofRepresentatives this week. Cas-tor says the Act, which is the sin-gle largest investment in highereducation in history, will make thecost of attending college more af-fordable for hundreds of thou-sands of Florida students and fam-ilies through increases in the PellGrant and expanded loans.

Over the next 10 years, thelegislation will invest more than$2.2 billion in Florida and $106million in the Tampa Bay area toincrease the Pell Grant award.Roughly 430,000 Florida students,including approximately 24,000Tampa Bay area students, will beeligible for a Pell Grant in the2010-11 school year.

“More students throughoutFlorida will have access to in-creased grants and affordable stu-dent loans at a time when familiesare being squeezed by the econ-omy. Florida universities andcommunity colleges will benefitgreatly,” Castor said. “We also willput an end to the sometimesshady and deceptive practices of

the private student loan industry,standing up against special inter-ests and giving students and theirfamilies peace of mind that theirloans are sound and reliable.”

Beginning next year, all newfederal student loans will be is-sued as U.S. Department of Edu-cation Direct Loans rather thanthrough the Federal Family Edu-cation Loan Program, which re-lied on private lenders. Privatelenders can remain involved byservicing student loans. Thischange will provide more stabilityand security in student loanswhile saving U.S. taxpayers an es-timated $87 billion over 10 years.

The Student Aid and Fiscal Re-sponsibility Act expands access toan affordable college education. Itinvests $40 billion to increase theannual Pell Grant, from $5,350 in2009 to $5,550 in 2010 and to$6,900 by 2019. Approximately 6million undergraduate and gradu-ate students received Pell Grantsin 2007-08.

An anonymous tip to the Wildlife Alert Hotlinesent Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com-mission (FWC) investigators to a Lakeland resi-dence in search of two illegally kept Burmesepythons. What was hidden from the world shockedeven investigator Daryl Amerson, a 24-year FWCveteran who thought he had seen it all.

Amerson discovered an 11-foot-long maleBurmese python, dwarfed by its female companion,a 17-foot behemoth of the same species thatweighed more than 150 pounds.

Michael T. Hall (DOB 11/20/71) of 1836 JupiterSt., Lakeland, owned the snakes but did not havethe required state permit to keep them. The FWClists Burmese pythons as reptiles of concern, whichrequires owners to purchase an annual $100 permit.

Owners are required to have the pets mi-crochipped and must follow specific caging require-ments based on the size of the reptile. They alsomust keep a written and approved contingency planin case of escape or natural disaster.

Hall was charged with second-degree misde-meanors for not having the required permit and not

The Florida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commission (FWC)wrapped up a three-day meetingFriday at Howey-in-the-Hills.

Wednesday's agenda focusedon inland issues, including dis-cussion of a proposed rule thatauthorizes the take of peregrinefalcons for the sport of falconry.Commissioners directed FWCstaff to proceed with finalizing arule to allow it and bring it backfor final action at the Commis-sion's December meeting. Fed-eral regulations would limit theprogram to five or fewer pere-grines for falconry per year inFlorida.

Another proposed rule to comeup for final approval in Decemberwould solidify an existing execu-tive order allowing licensedhunters to kill nonnative reptilesof concern in select South Floridawildlife management areas. Aspart of an overall review of exist-ing regulatory measures for rep-tiles of concern, the Commissionreviewed proposed legislationfrom Sen. Lee Constantine (R-Al-tamonte Springs) and others toenhance the FWC's efforts to reg-ulate captive wildlife in Florida.The Commission directed staff tolook into a wide range of optionsin dealing with reptiles of concernand other nonnative species.

Also, Commissioners approvedconceptual changes to deer hunt-ing zones and seasons. FWC biol-ogists are recommending changesto align hunting dates with thetiming of breeding activity, calledthe "rut." The FWC will conducttwo public meetings in Septemberto review possible changes andgather additional public input. Theproposal would be up for final ap-proval in February, if Commis-sioners direct FWC staff to pro-

ceed with developing it. Changeswould begin with the 2010-2011hunting season.

Commissioners also discussedconceptual changes to regulationsconcerning hunting, fishing, man-agement areas, nuisance wildlifeand nonnative wildlife.

In addition, FWC staff pre-sented a detailed update on theprogress of revisions to the im-periled species listing process.The Commission directed staff tobring the draft rules to the De-cember meeting for considera-tion.

Wednesday's session also in-cluded a review of land acquisi-tion and management issues.

On Thursday, the Commissionwaded through marine fisheriesissues. Commissioners approvedrules that are consistent with newfederal regulations to reduceoverfishing of vermilion snapperin the Atlantic Ocean and improvefishing for this species in the fu-ture.

The new rules will ...- decrease the recreational bag

limit for vermilion snapper in At-lantic state waters from 10 fish to5 fish daily per person,

- prohibit the captain and crewof for-hire vessels from keepingAtlantic vermilion snapper, and

- prohibit all harvest of vermil-ion snapper in Atlantic state wa-ters from Nov. 1 - March 31.

These rules take effect on Oct.16. The Commission also pro-posed federal consistency rulesto address overfishing of Atlanticgrouper.

These rules would ...- decrease the aggregate daily

recreational bag limit for all At-lantic grouper in state watersfrom 5 fish to 3 fish per person,

- prohibit the captain and crewof for-hire vessels from retainingany species in the aggregategrouper bag limit, and

- decrease the aggregate recre-ational bag limit for gag and blackgrouper from 2 fish combined to 1

fish combined in Atlantic andMonroe County state waters.

In addition, the proposed fed-eral consistency rules would pro-hibit all harvest of shallow-watergroupers (including gag, blackgrouper, red grouper, scamp, redhind, rock hind, coney, grasby, yel-lowfin grouper, yellowmouthgrouper and tiger grouper) fromJan. 1 - April 30 in Atlantic statewaters.

Another proposed federal con-sistency rule would require de-hooking tools to be aboard com-mercial and recreational vesselsfishing for reef fish in Atlanticstate waters. Final public hear-ings on the proposed federal con-sistency rules for Atlantic grouperand dehooking tools will be heldduring the December FWC meet-ing in Clewiston.

Commissioners also proposednew rules to be compatible withan Atlantic States Marine Fish-eries Commission managementplan for Atlantic coastal sharksand enhance current FWC pro-tective measures for sharks thatinhabit Florida waters.

These rules would ...- prohibit harvest of sandbar,

silky and Caribbean sharpnosesharks from state waters,

- establish a 54-inch fork lengthminimum size limit for all sharksexcept Atlantic sharpnose, blac-knose, bonnethead, finetooth andblacktip sharks and smooth dog-fish,

- prohibit the removal of sharkheads and tails at sea,

- allow only hook-and-line gearto harvest sharks, and

- make other technical sharkrule changes.

The Commission also directedstaff to work with stakeholdersand develop options to possiblyadd other shark species to theprohibited list, especially lemonsharks, and require the use of cir-cle hooks to harvest sharks instate waters. A final public hear-

Seminar of Hope, presented by Teen Tyme Pro-ductions, Inc., is an interactive prevention and mo-tivational after-school program focusing on issuessuch as disproportionate minority contacts and al-ternatives to zero tolerance. Without proper su-pervision in a structured environment, the after-school hours can be a prime avenue for negative anddisruptive pursuits by our youth. The Florida De-partment of Juvenile Justice provides primary fund-ing for the Seminar of Hope initiative.

Wanted - adventurous and outdoorsy womenwishing to learn more about Florida's great out-doors in a comfortable, noncompetitive, hands-onenvironment. If this could be you, contact theFlorida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis-sion (FWC) to participate in the Becoming an Out-doors-Woman (BOW) workshop near Tallahassee.

The three-day workshop takes place Oct. 9-11 atCamp Wallwood on the pristine banks of LakeTalquin on the Gadsden County side. Sessions be-gin Friday at 10 a.m. and end Sunday with lunch.

Although designed with women in mind, theworkshop is open to anyone 18 years and olderwho wants to improve her outdoor skills.

The program offers a fun and supportive atmos-phere for participants wishing to try new thingsand enjoy the camaraderie of other women wantingto do the same. In four, three-and-one-half-hoursessions, the BOW workshop teaches skills associ-ated with fishing, hunting and other forms of out-door recreation."The most requested classeswomen sign up to take are primitive chef; canoe-ing/kayaking basics; basic wilderness survival skills;and introduction to handgun shooting and hunting,"BOW state coordinator Lynne Hawk said.

The cost for the three-day workshop is $175,and there are a limited number of discounted slotsavailable for low-income participants, single par-ents and college students.

There has been a major change at the TwinRivers Wildlife Management Area, and theFlorida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com-mission (FWC) wants to remind huntersabout this change.

The daily quota permits that previouslywere available on a first-come, first-served ba-sis at the check station have been eliminatedand are no longer available.

"These adjustments were due primarily tothe nontransferable quota permits and guestpermits in effect this year," said Scott Johns,wildlife biologist.

To make up for this change, the quota atTwin Rivers was increased for archery, muz-zleloading gun, and general gun seasons from30 to 45 permits for each season.

"Because there are no more daily use per-mits, the need for overnight parking at thecheck station has been eliminated and will bediscouraged. Twin Rivers WMA is a quota-hunt-only area, and each hunter must have aquota permit or guest permit to hunt. Check-ing in and out at the check station is stillmandatory," Johns said.

There are no exemptions for the 9,288-acre management area, located in Madison,Hamilton and Suwannee counties.

There will be 20 quota permits given outfor each of the two hunts for spring turkey.Again, there are no exemptions.

Hunters must submit electronic applica-tions for quota and special-opportunity per-mits through the FWC's Total Licensing Sys-tem at a license agent, county tax collector's

office or MyFWC.com/License.All the permits for archery, muzzleloading

and general gun seasons have been given outfor this season. The spring turkey worksheetslisting hunts, application periods, deadlinesand instructions will be available mid-October.

A quota permit holder (host) may bringonly one additional hunter. Guest permits mayonly be obtained from license agents orcounty tax collector's offices. Guest permitsmay be obtained up to and during the last dayof the hunt.

The additional hunter does not receive aseparate bag limit. The host must share a baglimit with the guest, and the host is respon-sible for violations that exceed the bag limit.

The guest and host must enter and exitthe area together and must share a street-le-gal vehicle while hunting on the area. Theguest may only hunt while the host is on thearea and must hunt in the same zone to whichthe host is assigned.

Quota permits and guest permits are nottransferable. Except for youths under 16years of age, a positive form of identificationis required when using a non-transferable per-mit.

ST. PETERSBURG –A St. Petersburg high school has been se-lected as the newest recipient of The Freedom Shrine, a collection ofphotographic reproductions of original documents from Americanhistory, by the National Exchange Club.

A dedication ceremony will be held tomorrow at noon at St. PeteCatholic High School, 6333 9th Ave. N and will be attended by St. Pe-tersburg Council Chair Jeff Danner, Council Members Herb Polsonand Bill Dudley, a member of the Northeast Exchange Club and for-mer teacher, and Florida State Senator Charlie Justice. The Shrine willbe presented to school officials by Mark Dayton, President-elect of theNortheast Exchange Club. The public is invited to attend.

The Shrine contains the Bill of Rights, the Mayflower Compact, theDeclaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and is a re-minder that the freedoms we enjoy as Americans today did not comewithout cost and must be cherished and protected. More than 12,000Freedom Shrines have been dedicated in schools, military installationsand government buildings since the program's inception in 1949.

VERO BEACH - The Asian Tiger Mosquito,Aedes albopictus, first discovered in Florida at ascrap tire dump in Jacksonville in 1986, subse-quently spread rapidly to become the most commondaytime pest mosquito biting people in the State.This same invasive species has been recently in-criminated as a transmitter of LaCrosse encephali-tis virus to people elsewhere in the southern USA,and during the West Nile epidemic of 2002, 11 statesand the District of Columbia reported the detectionof this virus in field-collected Aedes albopictus.More recently, invasive Aedes albopictus has beenrecognized as the epidemic vector of chikungunyavirus in Italy and in African island nations of the In-dian Ocean.

FMEL is the home base of an NIH-funded re-search program, led by Dr. Phil Lounibos, on A. al-bopictus invasions, conducted in collaboration withresearchers from Illinois State University and theOswaldo Cruz Institute in Brazil. Current researchactivities include:

- Experimental tests of hypotheses about the

roles of interspecific competition with residentspecies (such as Aedes aegypti, the Yellow FeverMosquito) in determining invasion success.

- Examination of the effects of larval competitionand rearing temperature on vector competence of A.albopictus and Aedes aegypti for dengue, chikun-gunya and other arboviruses.

- Experiments to elucidate the impact of larvalpredation on Aedes albopictus in aquatic containercommunities.

- Analyses of habitat selection by Aedes albopic-tus with GIS and experiments to define the influ-ence of adult bloodmeal and sugar consumption.

This project has been the major focus of researchsince 1999, when FMEL began to examine the ecol-ogy and genetics of establishments of this speciesin the Americas. Research in Brazil is supported bya new (2008-2010) FIRCA grant from NIH's FogartyInternational Center to investigate the ecology ofinvasive vectors in the context of endemic denguetransmission.

GAINESVILLE—While studying a way to more safelyand effectively collect snake venom, University of Floridaresearchers have noticed the venom delivered by an iso-lated population of Florida cottonmouth snakes may bechanging in response to their diet.

Scientists used a portable nerve stimulator to extractvenom from anesthetized cottonmouths, producing moreconsistent extraction results and greater amounts ofvenom, according to findings published in August in thejournal Toxicon.

The study of venoms is important for many reasons,scientists say.

“The human and animal health benefits include under-standing the components of venom that cause injury anddeveloping better antivenin,” said Darryl Heard, an as-sociate professor in the UF College of Veterinary Medi-cine’s department of small animal clinical sciences. “In ad-dition, the venom components have the potential to beused for diagnostic tests and the development of newmedical compounds.”

But in addition to showing the extraction method issafer, more effective and less stressful to both snake andhandler than the traditional “milking” technique, Heardand Ryan McCleary, a Ph.D. candidate in biology in UF’sCollege of Liberal Arts and Sciences, discovered thevenom from these particular snakes differs from that ofmainland snakes, likely because of their unique diet ofdead fish dropped by seabirds.

Heard and McCleary collaborated to develop a safe, re-liable and humane technique for collecting venom fromcottonmouths as part of a larger study on a specific pop-ulation of snakes that reside on Seahorse Key, an isolatedisland near Cedar Key on the Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The venom collection study included data from 49snakes on Seahorse Key.

“Snakes on this island are noted for their large size,”said Heard, a zoological medicine veterinarian with addi-tional expertise in anesthesia. He added that Harvey Lil-lywhite, a professor of biology at UF and McCleary’s pre-doctoral adviser, has confirmed that cottonmouths onSeahorse Key eat primarily dead fish dropped by birds ina large seabird rookery.

Lillywhite also directs UF’s Seahorse Key Marine Lab-oratory, located in the Cedar Keys National WildlifeRefuge. McCleary hopes to build on earlier studies aboutthe snakes’ ecology and to explore whether evolutionarychanges may have affected the composition of the snakes’venom.

“My interest is in the evolutionary aspect,” McClearysaid. “If these snakes already have an abundant source ofdead prey, why do they need venom?”

Preliminary findings show some differences in venomcomponents, he added.

Traditionally, venom has been collected from venomoussnakes by manually restraining the animal behind thehead and having it bite a rubber membrane connected toa collecting chamber.

“This requires the capture of an awake snake, which in-creases the risk of human envenomation and is alsostressful to the snake,” Heard said, adding that manualcollection of venom also does not guarantee that all of thevenom is collected.

The nerve stimulator is used in human anesthesia tomeasure the effect of muscle relaxants.

“It delivers a series of electric stimuli, of very lowvoltage and amperage, and causes no pain or tissue in-

jury,” Heard said. “The electrodes are placed behind theeye, across the area of the venom gland. The nerve stim-ulator sends a current across the gland, causing reflexcontraction and expulsion of the venom.”

The technique allows collection from snakes that mightnot otherwise give up their venom, which is an essentialin the process of creating antivenins for victims of snakebite, Heard said.

“The stimulator is battery-powered and relatively in-expensive,” he said. “In addition, the anesthetic we used,known as propofol, can easily be transported.”

Propofol, which has been prominent in news headlinesrecently as being linked to the death of singer MichaelJackson, is a short acting anesthetic administered by in-travenous injection. The drug is commonly used to anes-thetize animals in veterinary clinical practice, but it is notbelieved to have previously been used to anesthetizesnakes for venom collection.

Head Coach Raheem Morris takes histeam through their first game of the newseason with a new coach, just weeks aftermaking the team’s final cuts. The TampaBay Buccaneers closed their first regularseason week at a loss. And despite theloss they have acquired, they are ready toput it behind them and move on to the Buf-falo Bills.

For week two the Bucs are pulling outthe stops and that includes Sean Mahan,starting at center after being cut from theBucs on September 2. Also drafted to playoffensive lineman, Mahan plans to make animpact in the protection of his quarter-back.

Mahan’s return is partly in response tothe loss of the Bucs starting center JeffFaine who suffered a strained tricep inSunday’s game. Faine is said to be out forthe next three weeks which will take theBucs through the Buffalo Bills, the NewYork Giants, and the Washington Redskins.

Head Coach Raheem Morris will alsohave to keep an eye on Antonio Bryantthroughout the next couple games. Bryant,who plays wide receiver for the Bucs,

came off the field during the fourth quarterof the game. Bryant had arthroscopic sur-gery in August and will likely experiencesome knee pain for a few more games.

Guard Jeremy Zuttah is also a minorconcern nursing an ankle sprain, but is ex-pected to play against the Bills.

Coach Morris hopes to get his teamready to defend against the passing gamein the event that the Bills believe that whatDallas did last week is able to repeat itself.The Bucs gave up 353 passing yards tothe Cowboys. Morris hopes his team doesnot repeat the same mistakes as last week.

As of yesterday defensive end KyleMoore and cornerback E.J. Biggers did notparticipate in practice and are question-able for Sunday’s game.

Both teams are starting with an 0-1record for the season; therefore, the battleto be 1-1 should take hold of both teams fora very physical day on the field with bothdefenses seeking validation.

As Jim Bates, Bucs defensive coordina-tor, continues to fill the shoes of the leg-endary Monte Kiffin, former defensive co-ordinator, he pushes his team to keep thepoints where they belong.

The Bucs will play at Buffalo at 4 p.m.
