Quark Files IPO: Larry Ellison & SuperGen Former Connections
April 30, 2007 on 4:10 pm | In In the news, Network Training, Board Member Analysis, IPO |Quark Biotech hopes to raise up to $86.25M in IPO (Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal)
Quark Biotech filed for its IPO on March 30. The Quark Biotech Relational Map provides some insight into the relations between its current and former management team and board members. Along the way, I would like to point out some key transition points that will help LinkSViewer users to navigate from simple to complex maps (the opposite of the previous post which demonstrated navigating from complex to simple maps). First I started with a relatively simple relational map - I searched for Quark Biotech and then filtered in former people.
Quark Biotech Relational Map (Former People Included). Notes: (1) Board Interlock Ties: Joseph Rubinfeld & Daniel Zurr (Former SuperGen Board Members); (2) Key People Ties: Larry Ellison (Oracle CEO, previous Quark board member).
I clicked on Larry Ellison in LinkSViewer, Add to Map (Under Pink banner in Information Window) to incorporate all of his current and former boards on the below map, and dropped pendants
Quark Biotech Relational Map (Ellison as Person Added to Map). Notes: (1) Ellison Previous Boards (Active Cos.): NetSuite, Pillar Data Systems, Liberate Technologies, Oracle, Apple; (2) Ellison Board Interlocks: Steven Fink (Lawrence Investments) & Jeffrey Henley (Oracle Former Board Chairman).
I clicked on Add to Map under Larry Ellison as Individual Investor (Yellow banner in Information Window) to incorporate all of his current and active individual investments on the below map and dropped pendants.
Quark Biotech Relational Map (Ellison as Investor Added to Map). Notes: (1) Ellison Investments (Active Cos.): SalesForce.com, SuperGen; (2) Ellison Investment Ties: Igor Sill (Oracle & Salesforce); Daniel Zurr & Joseph Rubinfeld (SuperGen/Quark).
Thus, we see how Larry Ellison connects to Quark as a former board member, but also as an investor in SuperGen. In this way, we used LinkSViewer to expand existing networks to identify interesting relationships.

http://www.zasme.com , new social network - Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I have been surfing online much more than three hours today, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It’s fairly worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made great content as you did, the net will probably be a great deal more helpful than ever before.

I know there are lots of firefox addons that help manage saving pictures, but what I am specifically looking for is, one which can allow me to simply paste the picture link and it will download the picture from that link. . Reason being, the pictures I am saving is has their own individual link and NOT on the same page itself..

An interesting dialogue is price comment. I think that you should write extra on this subject, it may not be a taboo topic however typically individuals are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
