Jeff Bellantoni Joins Ringling College of Art and Design as Vice President of Academic Affairs
March 25, 2014 - Ringling College of Art and Design today announced that Jeff Bellantoni has been appointed Vice President for Academic Affairs for Ringling College after a nationwide search conducted by Shelli Herman and Associates.
An author, educator and award-winning graphic designer with over 20 years in higher education, Mr. Bellantoni joins the Ringling College leadership team from Pratt Institute in New York City, where he served as Chairperson and Professor of the nationally-ranked Graduate Communications Design Department since 2008 and as a faculty trustee on Pratt's Board of Trustees. He was responsible for several initiatives including Pratt Press, Public Project, the Graduate Design Guild, and the first design-focused MFA program at Pratt. In addition to these roles, Jeff acted as Governance Facilitator for the Institute for two years and Special Assistant to the Dean of Art and Design for three years.
"We are pleased to add Jeff to our creative community," said Ringling College of Art and Design president Dr. Larry R. Thompson. "Jeff's well-rounded background and experience as a designer and educator is the perfect fit to help us continue to innovate and enhance our academic program for the next decade and beyond. With over two decades in higher education as a faculty member and academic administrator at major research universities, a liberal arts college, and several professional art and design colleges, Jeff has mastered skill sets that will be integral to Ringling College's ongoing curriculum development, accreditation and governance. We are excited to work with Jeff to evolve our academic vision at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Please join with us in welcoming Jeff and his wife, ceramist Kim Westad, to Sarasota."
"It is a privilege to join Ringling College, one of the most innovative arts colleges in the world, and one that continuously strives for excellence," said Mr. Bellantoni. "Ringling College's record of achievement during the past decade under President Thompson's leadership, along with the consistent drive to challenge itself, makes for a tremendous opportunity of continued transformational growth. Ringling's studio teaching model nurtures innovation—students learn to approach problems from unique perspectives and develop the flexible thinking and comfort with risk that is needed in today's complex and dynamic world. I look forward to being an integral part of our continued advancement to distinguish ourselves as the preeminent art and design college focused on creativity, innovation and social responsibility."
Prior to Pratt, Jeff held various positions with Mercy College in the Division of Civic and Cultural Studies as Associate Professor, Division Chair, and Founding Program Director for Computer Arts + Design, during which time he raised funds and oversaw the building of The Roy E. Disney Center for Animation Studies and The Center for Digital Arts. He has also taught at the University of Connecticut in the School of Fine Arts, Wanganui Polytechnic School of Art & Design in Wanganui, New Zealand, and Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts (VCU), in Richmond, Virginia. He has published as co-author and designer several books including the best-selling titles "Type in Motion" and "Moving Type, Designing for Time and Space", is an accreditation evaluator for the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), and presents at conferences, events and educational institutions around the world. Jeff received his MFA in Visual Communications from VCU and BFA from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
The Ringling College search committee was chaired by Christine DeGeorge and included members Bradley Battersby, Jeffrey Bleitz, Doug Chismar, Jim Dean, Jim McCampbell, Lisa Moody, Mahmoud Pegah, Jeff Schwartz, Nathan Skiles, Tracy Wagner, and Tammy Walsh.
Dr. Thompson concluded, "I would also like to extend a very special recognition to David Jackson, who has selflessly served as Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs since June 1, 2013 and will remain in this capacity until Jeff's arrival this summer."

March 25, 2014 - Artist, successful businesswoman, internet sensation and self-described "artrepreneur" Michelle Phan will soon have one more accolade to add to her resume: an Honorary Doctorate of Arts in the Business of Art & Design from Ringling College of Art and Design.
The 26-year-old has had a life-long passion for cosmetics. While a student at Ringling College, Michelle experimented with makeup, treating her face as a living canvas as she honed her skills as an artist. As Michelle studied portrait painting and the effect of light and color on the face, she was discovering how to translate this knowledge into the art of makeup. She chronicled the process on her personal blog and began uploading tutorial videos on YouTube.
"Makeup IS art—the only difference is it's on a moving canvas that constantly changes throughout the day," explains Michelle. "It's an extension of our self-expression, and a powerful tool that shapes how we see ourselves."
That passion struck an immediate chord in others, as Michelle's online tutorials – which she began to make in her Ringling College dorm room – soon went viral and she began to amass a large following. She has since become the second-most viewed female on YouTube, with more than 700 million views and 4 million+ subscribers. She was named an official online makeup artist by Lancome and was profiled in the likes of Teen Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Forbes.
Her business that took off while she was still at Ringling, and in 2012 she launched a multi-channel network on YouTube, as well as Ipsy.com, an interactive online community where beauty devotees can network, try new products, and watch and upload beauty tutorials. Her biggest achievement came in 2013 with the launch of em Michelle Phan, a full cosmetics line produced in conjunction with L'Oreal.
"We are very proud of Michelle's accomplishments and how she has made her artistic talent and passion into a thriving enterprise," says Dr. Larry Thompson, President of Ringling College of Art and Design. "Her success is an inspiration to all of us in the Ringling College community. Artists and creatives who can create, adapt, evolve, and achieve in an ever-changing world exemplify what we hope to instill in every Ringling College student."
Ringling College is passionate about creativity and its role in the future economy. In fact, the College's goal is to "shatter the myth of the starving artist." As evidence of this, Ringling launched the Business of Art & Design major in 2008 — a business degree program infused with studio-based art and design practice. The program was the first of its kind in the nation. Michelle Phan's tremendous success in mixing art and design with entrepreneurism epitomizes the essence of that program and is the reason why she was selected to receive an Honorary Degree.
The degree will be conferred during Ringling College's Commencement ceremony on May 9, 2014 at the Bradenton Convention Center. For more information please contact the Office of the President at 941.309.6106 or via email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Keep posted with Michelle Phan on her various social media channels:

MADRID - Sweet syrups and sugar drew hundreds to St. Lawrence County maple producers Saturday and Sunday for Maple Weekend, a statewide event created to promote the industry.
Maple Weekend started in Wyoming County in Western New York during the 1990s and has spread ever since. Maple producers open their doors with tours, samples and special events.
Five St. Lawrence County producers participated Saturday and Sunday, and hundreds of north country residents came out to see what it was all about.
We were surprised that we had as many people coming around, as cold as it was in the last couple of days, because it just wasnt sugaring weather, said Kenneth J. Tupper of Tuppers Hilltop Maple Treats in Canton.
The temperature needs to be above freezing for sap to flow, so last weeks cold weather meant production slowed down after a few very productive days.
Still, the countys few days of warm weather have already been a boon to maple producers. Last winters mild temperatures meant a poor year for maple syrup, but this year things seem to be back on track.
This year, already, were almost up to last years total, said Michael R. Kenny of Sweeter Creations Sugar House in Madrid.
Sweeter Creations made only 160 gallons of syrup in 2012. This year, the business has already topped 100 gallons.
Producers said theyre cautiously optimistic about the season, but its too early to say anything for sure.
For the majority I think its going to be an average season, but its hard to predict the weather, said James J. Finen of Finen Maple Products in Norwood.
For Maple Weekend, Mr. Finen took visitors on buggy rides through the woods and offered samples of various maple recipes.
Kids like the hot dogs cooked in maple syrup, he said.
About 60 families visited Finen Maple Products over the weekend, some returning for their second or third year in a row.
All the producers had plenty of products for sale. Maple Weekend provides a prime opportunity to peddle their wares.
Weve sold quite a bit of stuff, Mr. Tupper said.
For most of the producers, maple syrup is a tradition stretching back decades or even generations. Mr. Kenny said he learned the business tapping trees at his grandfathers house when he was a child, which led him to create his own business.
The industry has changed a lot in those years.
Many steps once done by hand over a long time, like mixing syrup into the proper consistency for candy and pouring it into rubber molds, are now greatly shortened by machines developed in the past few years. New processes for extracting and evaporating the sap, such as vacuum tubing and reverse-osmosis evaporation, are meant to make the process safer for consumers and the environment.
Everything has changed, Mr. Finen said.
Maple sugar may be an evolving science, but the basics remain the same. Mr. Kenny has been in the business for decades and is training his sons to take over.
Its a 40-plus-year labor of love, he said.
A second Maple Weekend will be held Saturday and Sunday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A Florida Senate panel has approved a contentious bill aimed at giving parents a stronger voice in charting a turnaround for failing public schools.
The so-called "parent trigger" measure cleared the Senate Education Committee on a 6-3 vote Monday, with all three dissenting votes coming from Democrats.
The bill (SB 862) drew lengthy public testimony that divided parents and local school board members.
Supporters said the bill would empower parents by giving them a role in deciding a failing school's future course. Options include reassigning students to other schools or handing the school over to a private company to run as a charter school.
Opponents said the bill is meant to empower charter schools, not parents.
The bill has a couple of other committee stops before reaching the full Senate.

With more than 170 members and growing, the USO Congressional Caucus strengthens the bridge that supports American troops and military families when they need it most.
Formed in 2003, the caucus aims to enhance the outreach efforts of the American people to troops and military families, providing a critical link between service men and women and their representatives. The caucus brings together members from the Senate and House of Representatives who have a shared interest in supporting our troops and their families around the world.
In addition to co-founders Representative Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) and Representative Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas), the caucus is led by Senator Jack Reed (D-R.I.) who serves as honorary chair, Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), Senator Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-Calif.) and Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.).
The primary purpose of the caucus is to inform members of Congress of USO activities in their states and districts and how they and their constituents can best support our troops. Special events such as care package assembly parties and coordinated visits to USO centers and hospitals also provide volunteer opportunities for members and staff.
For more information about the USO Congressional Caucus or how to join, please contact Lynly Boor at 703-908-6483 or email@example.com.
Want to give, but don't know what to give? Your problem is solved with the USO Wishbook.
Through the USO Wishbook -- which launched just in time for the holiday season -- your holiday gift to someone special will also benefit our troops and their families.
"The USO Wishbook will give the American public a new and innovative way to support the troops by supporting the USO," said USO President Sloan Gibson. "The funds from the gifts go directly to the USO, helping us achieve our mission of lifting the spirits of America's troops and their families."
Giving has never been easier, with the ability to browse gifts by field (deployed troops, families or wounded warriors), recipients (men, women, kids or coworkers) and price (anything from $15 all the way up to big-ticket items that bring joy to an entire base).
Visit the site today at usowishbook.org.
Heidi Blair has spent a career running arms of non-profit agencies. But it was the only story her dad would ever tell her about the Vietnam War that landed her at the USO five years ago this month.
"My dad -- a Vietnam vet -- had talked with fondness about the USO when I was growing up," Blair said. "The possibility of going to work for an organization that made such a huge impact on my father excited me. I felt that working for the USO would be a great way to ensure others had the positive experience my father had during a time that can be very difficult for our troops."
Blair, the center director for USO Northwest Florida, has spent more than 20 years in leadership roles at non-profits. A Spokane, Washington, native and Gonzaga University graduate, she and her husband had planned on retiring in Florida. Five years ago, they decided to make the move a little early. Blair's initial task when she joined the USO in 2006 was to build the center at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida. She now oversees three centers in that area.
Despite all the responsibility, she says the people who carry out the mission make it easy to come to work even on the hardest days.
"It is the kid who is away from home for the first time eating Thanksgiving dinner at the USO telling me his mom is crying with gratitude because the USO is there for him," she said. "It is the volunteer who goes to a deployment to hand out USO Care Packages at 2 a.m. because 'they would do it for me.' "
Papa John's kicked off its official yearlong sponsorship of the USO in November by serving up a multitude of deals and donations.
One of the largest pizza companies in the world, Papa John's is donating $1 to the USO for each purchase of the USO Meal Deal between November 7 and December 31. They also gave $1 for every online order they received at papajohns.com over a 15-hour period on Veterans Day.
But the giving didn't stop there. Papa John's also featured the USO in commercials during NBC's Football Night in America telecasts on November 13 and 20 along with a minute-long promotion on the NFL Network's first Thursday Night Football game of the season on Nov. 10. The TV appearances highlighted the work the USO does on behalf of our men and women in uniform.
The USO was one of six organizations featured on the Veterans Day broadcast of ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" titled "Rise and Honor." The show -- which was coordinated by the Entertainment Industry Foundation and broadcast nationally November 11 -- highlighted some of the most memorable military stories the series has produced. It also called on Americans to pick up the phone and donate to one of six charitable organizations that support the troops, including the USO.
Entertainer George Lopez spoke during the special on behalf of the USO.
Hosted by "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" frontman Ty Pennington and singer Jewel, the program also featured appearances by Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, and soldier-turned-actor J.R. Martinez.
With TEAM USO, every step makes a difference.
More than 100 total TEAM USO members participated in this year's Marine Corps Marathon and New York City Marathon. Combined, they raised $116,000 -- more than double last year's total. That money will be directed back to each runner's local USO and will be used to fund vital programs and services for troops and their families.
In return for participating and raising funds, the runners received a variety of benefits, including an Under Armour technical shirt for race day, access to a Road Runners Club of America-certified team coach, and an invitation to attend a complimentary pasta dinner the night before the race.
If you are interested in becoming a member of TEAM USO for the 2012 race season, please visit teamuso.org or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Particularism and Christianity
There are three main answers to the knowledge sorting problem. The first view is Epistemological Methodism. This view holds that before I know something, I must start with a criterion that answers "How do I know it?" Apparently Descartes tried to postulate the criteria of "That which is clear and distinct in the mind" to answer the skeptic leading him the statement "I think therefore I am." However, this view has a problem. Before knowing proposition P, one must know the criterion C, and the fact R: "P satisfies C." This leads the question of "how do I know both C and R?" which leads to an infinite regress.
The second view is Particularism. This view is that there are specific things I know and I don't need to know how I know them in order to know them. This view starts with particular knowledge claims, criteria may be developed by reflecting on particular knowledge. The criteria developed can be developed to help with difficult cases, but the criteria are no more basic than the particular pieces of knowledge that inspired them. For example, I know 2+2=4. By reflecting on arithmetic knowledge, I may be able to develop axioms of arithmetic. But if my axioms then show 2+2 is not 4, I would conclude my axioms are wrong, not that I don't know 2+2 = 4.
The third view is Skepticism. Skeptics conclude that there is no solution to the problem of the criteria. They think that the "Methodists" are caught in an infinite regress and the Particularist is begging the question. However, how would the skeptic know that the Particularist is begging the question?
J.P concludes that Particularism is the correct view. That we can know things even if it's possible we're wrong. The mere possibility we are wrong is no reason to think we are wrong. I think his view on Epistemology has some merit.
JP goes on to make the case that a "Divine Law Giver" makes the most sense of morality and moral knowledge. (It wasn't in his lecture, but he could have said moral laws seem like commands, and commands only make sense as communication between minds). For the sake of this post, I will grant that there is a God who makes sense of moral law.
However, I think Particularism poses some serious difficulties for Christianity as well. To see how, it is helpful to reflect on the nature of morality. In some cases, the same action can be either moral or immoral depending on the motive of the actor. For example, suppose a boy tripped someone. If he did it to enjoy seeing the tripped in pain, the action would be immoral. However, if he did it to prevent the tripped from being hit by a bus, the action is commendable.
In addition, a lack of action can be moral or immoral. If one has knowledge of a serious pending crime like terrorism, they would have a duty to report it. Neglecting to act in this case would be immoral. Where there is no motive, like in natural disasters, we may think the results are tragic, but the natural cause is not blamed. Who would blame the meteor for falling out the sky and destroying property?
By reflecting on these and other particular moral truths, I am justified in claiming that I know:
- In order for an action (or inaction) to be moral or immoral a motive must attach to that action.
- Punishing someone for the crimes of someone else is immoral (also see Deuteronomy 24:16)
Now examine 1 Samuel 15:2-3. Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
Samuel claims that God wants the Israelites to kill every man, woman, child, infant, cattle, etc. That in itself may not be wrong, however note the motive that Samuel attributes to God. This attack is punishment for crimes committed over 300 year prior. The sentence is carried out on infants and nursing mothers who cannot have taken part in the act that caused the judgment.
Notice that Samuel attaches an evil motive to the action. This makes the action evil. Thus, if someone believes that there is a God who is the basis for the moral law written on our hearts, they are justified in concluding that the God is not the one referred to in the Bible. If someone says "God wants you to make the board 5 feet long because 2+2 = 5." I would conclude that person is slandering God's intelligence. Here, I think I am justified in thinking Samuel is slandering God's character.
There are some common rejoinders to this conclusion that I would like to address now. The first is God is within his rights to take any life and could have had a good reason the kill the infants and the killing could even be merciful. (Geisler and Howe make this point in their book "When Critics Ask.") That is true, but misses the point. The point is that Samuel attributed a motive to God and that motive is evil. There could very well be good reasons for killing infants, but punishment for the sins of long dead ancestors is not one of them. Samuel is slandering God here. He should have offered a good reason, but he didn't. If you are a Christian, what would Samuel have to say before you were convinced he was not speaking for God?
The second objection is that without God, I have no basis for claiming moral knowledge. Firstly, this objection confuses me (a particularist) with an epistemological Methodist. A second point is that I am not presuming God is not the basis for morality. I am merely claiming that if there is a God that is the Basis for morality, it is not the God of Samuel.

Type of Session: Scientific
The principle of α /β has always been instrumental in guiding radiation therapy fractionation and doses. With the prostate having an α /β of 1.5-3, while the rectum and bladder are 4-6, and 7 respectively, hypofractionation in localized prostate cancer could be an alternative approach to standard treatment. This study reports the long term outcomes from hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) study for localized prostate cancer
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This study explores the idea that if the alpha-beta ratio for the prostate is lower than that of the surrounding normal tissues (rectum and bladder), then it would be logical to use hypofractionation for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. At a dose of 70Gy in 2.5Gy fractions, the EQD2 to the prostate is 83Gy. At 5 years, the rectal and urinary toxicities reported are acceptable. An advantage for the patient is a decreased overall treatment time. The challenge then is to determine the optimal fractionation schedule that will give excellent disease control while limiting treatment toxicities. It is important to stress that even grade 2 rectal toxicities significantly affect the quality of life for many patients. An upcoming study in this area will be RTOG 0415 which will randomize patients with prostate cancer (T1-2, GS 2-6, PSA <10) to 73.8Gy/41fractions vs. 70Gy/28 fractions.

OGDENSBURG - It is very tough to beat the same team three times in an evenly matched series.
That is one of the law of averages of the sporting world.
Third-seeded Norwood-Norfolk was dealing with the probability factor in visiting second seeded OFA on Wednesday for a Section 10 Division II Hockey semi-final game.
So the Icemen used their team speed to stay one step ahead of the law of averages and one goal ahead of OFA for the third time this season in a 2-1 victory.
The Icemen, who played a penalty free game, opened a 2-0 lead on goals by Zeb Brown and Dan Fyckes and then defended a 2-1 margin after the Devils were energized by a Brandon Mullins Section 10 high 22nd goal of the season with 5:36 remaining in the third period.
In matchup of sophomore goaltenders N-Ns Brandon Richards handled 21 saves with 10 in the first period and OFAs David Prudhomme stopped 24 with nine in the first period.
Norwood-Norfolk is tough matchup for us because they have good quickness up and down their lineup, said OFA Associate Coach Matt Morley after the 12-8-2 Icemen advanced to meet top-seeded St. Lawrence Central in Sundays Division II Championship Game (4 p.m. Clarkson Cheel Center) and ended OFAs season at 10-7-4. That quickness allows them to put a lot of pressure on us.
According to N-N Coach Paul Durant team speed was also a major asset in the defensive scheme which was centered around containing the explosive elusiveness of Mullin.
OFA is an outstanding team and to beat them three times and to win twice at the Golden Dome is a great achievement. When we played OFA, our first goal was to neutralize Brandon Mullin as much as possible. He is a great player and a great kid, said Durant.
On defense we like to keep someone deep and we did a very good at being aware of where Brandon was. Overall we played a tremendous game and I am just so proud of the guys.
The Icemens forecheck created a sustained scramble which produced the first goal at 5:25 of the first period. Kaden Pickering flipped the puck into a crowd of players in front of the net and it deflected off Brown into the net. Austin Cousineau also picked up an assist on the play.
Twenty-eight seconds into the second period the lead became 2-0 when Dan Fyckes carried the out of the puck out of his defensive zone and scored unassisted on a long wrist shot.
OFA used deligent forechecking to revive their cause when Mullin neatly converted the rebound of a shot from the point by Burke Comeau. Jake Garrison drew an assist by blocking a clearing attempt and passing the puck to Comeau.
It was playoff hockey at its best. We both hit a few posts and missed a few chances and both Brandon (Richards) and Dave (Prudhomme) made great saves, said Durant. Just as he has done all season Brandon Short anchored our defense. Late in the game he stayed on the ice for some extra time and made three great plays. OFA Coach Jon Frederick spoke about the end a very good season and the fine careers of his seniors.
Our seniors won a lot of hockey games. They played on a division championship team as ninth graders and on a second place teams the past two years. They got to Cheel twice for the sectional finals, said Frederick. Gian Rufa really played a big role for us. He moved to defense after playing forward for his whole career and he was a real leader back there. Jon Tayler played a strong game for us tonight, he made several nice rushes.

Nas has just released a new music video to the song "Cherry Wine" featuring his friend, the late Amy Winehouse.
The dapper rapper plays a bartender pouring a glass of cherry wine for his love interest. Amy's image is projected on the wall, as if she is the bar's evening entertainment. The late singer provides the chorus for the song. At the end of the video, Nas pays tribute to the British singer by including an endcard that read "In Memory Amy Winehouse."
"Cherry Wine" isn't the first single where the two collaborated. Nas was featured on Amy's song "Like Smoke," which was featured on her posthumous album "Lioness: Hidden Treasures."
"Amy and I share a birthday, so she was my sister," Nas told NME of their relationship. "And she was just so much fun to be around. She would say things about well-known people in the industry that she didn't like and it would just crack me up ... We were all hoping she would pull through and come back."
"Cherry Wines" comes off Nas' latest album "Life is Good," which debuted this past July.

With its beautiful walking trails, the Val Ferret is also a stage of the celebrated Tour du Mont Blanc trek and the newer but equally stunning Tour du Saint Bernard.
A chalet village of modest size, La Fouly offers numerous forms of accommodation, including campsites, 'l'aventure sur la paille' (sleeping in the straw), hotels and rental of alpine chalets. A renowned mountain climbing centre, it is also a popular place for learning rock climbing skills, on artificial walls or cliff faces, and on the famous Dalle de l'Amône. A supermarket and local sports store sell all the equipment you'll need.
From the high mountain pastures of the Val Ferret comes a fine, flavoursome cheese that adds an undeniable distinction to our fondues and raclettes. The educational trail of the shepherds – on an accessible mountain path - explains how the animals are raised and tended in the mountains.
Not to be missed on the trail: the mountain farmstead of La Peule, awarded the 'Suisse Pure' label in 2005 for its accommodation 'sur la paille' (in the straw), and the demonstration of traditional cheesemaking.
Skiing reigns supreme, over a modest but varied landscape equally appealing to both children and 'old hands'. The ski school offers lessons for all levels of ability. Free ride ski routes are available (with a guide). The valley is ideal for cross-country skiing, with routes cut for both classic and skating techniques. Snowshoe trails provide the icing on the cake in this winter paradise. For more information, visit: www.telelafouly.ch.

|Inspired by the same high level of optical precision used in Canon broadcast and photographic lenses, the Canon XF300 Professional Camcorder incorporates a Genuine Canon 18x HD L-Series lens that features a wide and impressive zoom range of 29.3 – 527.4mm (35mm equivalent). The lens incorporates High Index – Ultra-low Dispersion (HI-UD), Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) and aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberration while delivering a resolution of 1,000 TV lines.
In Full Manual Mode, the lens features mechanical stops for both the zoom and focus systems. Mechanical (Hard) end stops ensure that repeatable and dependable focus and zoom can be achieved when manually turning the lens barrel. These mechanical stops also allow for compatibility with many third-party remote camera controllers that require end stops in order to calibrate themselves. Additionally, display distance indicators on the lens barrel allow the operator to easily set the desired focus distance and move between focus points while recording.
|For enhanced versatility and durability, the lens is equipped with three built-in glass, neutral density (ND) filters (¼, 1/16 and 1/64) and a six-blade metal aperture iris.
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer
The XF300 also incorporates a newly designed SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization system (lens shift) with three modes: Standard, Dynamic and Powered.
Instant AF
Optically matched for the XF300's HD lens, the WA-H82 Wide Attachment increases wide angle capability to approximately 24mm (35mm equivalent), while maintaining the versatility of a 4X zoom range.
* Instant AF is not possible with the WA-H82.

"NOTHING TO DO WITH ALCOHOL USE"Trivino defends himself in wake of suspension
By Andrew Facini, Boston University
Special to Point Blank
7:00 pm: Corey Trivino denies the early rumors that the suspension (details below) is the result of an alcohol-related incident.
"It has nothing to do with alcohol use," he said.
Trivino also took steps to address the infamous "song" that has circulated the hockey-blogging world recently.
"About the song… It wasn't supposed to be like that. Me and Vinny, messing around one night in the dorm, we made a song. It was just for our enjoyment. We sent it to one of our teammates, and he sent it out to a bunch of people himself. We didn't know about that. One of those people apparently put it up on Barstool Sports, and I was shocked when someone let me know on a text."
He denies that this has any involvement with the current suspension.
"The song… BU has nothing to do with it. This suspension has nothing to do with it. It's a real shame that someone made it a video and put the BU logo on there," he said.
Further details concerning Trivino's suspension length are expected within the week.
Andrew Facini is a graduating senior at Boston University and runs an Islanders blog at http://nyicastaway.blogspot.com/
Hey, I wish there was more in the Country. But other than waiting for the Hamonic and Poulin signings by June 1, it should be a quiet month. As you know, I'm not a World Championships guy. You can only hope that no one gets hurt.

POLITICS AS USUAL, By Jim Baron
I guess it was only a matter of time before somebody called the cops on this governor's race.
Turns out it was Gov. Donald Carcieri who turned in the 911, initiating a State Police investigation into who leaked J.R. Pagliarini's confidential unemployment information to the media.
Pagliarini, faced with a very tenuous, and now largely debunked, accusation that he collected unemployment checks after starting to work as Independent Lincoln Chafee's cam¬paign manager, turned what might have been a non-story into a full-blown scandal by resigning from that position before anyone really knew all the facts of the situation.
It also tarnished Pagliarini and any explanation he might have subsequently provided. It was inevitable that people, and especially Chafee's opponents and detractors would say, "Hey, why would he resign if there wasn't some sort of wrong-doing involved?"
In politics, perception is reality, and Pagliarini fed the perception that he had been caught doing something nefarious, rather than the other possibility, that he was being framed by per¬sons well-connected in Rhode Island government and politics.
Was he double-dipping, collecting unemployment checks while he was on the Chafee campaign payroll? Pagliarini has a plausible explanation that he was not, that it is a quirk in the system used by the payroll firm used by the Chafee campaign that resulted in the confusion over the exact date he started receiving a salary from the campaign.
Was Pagliarini acting as campaign manager of the Chafee campaign without drawing a salary during the time he was collecting unemployment? That is another question. If you collect unemployment, you are sup¬posed to be actively looking for a paying job.
I'm sure the State Police will be looking closely at all of that at the same time they are investigating the leak. If Pagliarini is telling the truth then he broke no law. But whoever leaked his confidential information — he points out that the leaked documents had his Social Security number and his bank routing and account numbers, information that would allow an identity thief to go to town on him — did commit a crime.
The State Police are a straight-arrow, no-nonsense group with serious work to do and they HATE being tossed into the center ring of a high-profile political circus. But that is exactly where they are right now and it is now incumbent upon them to investigate the case not just thoroughly, but quickly.
Justice delayed in this situation is very much justice denied. It is not just the fact of the illegal leak that is the issue here; it is the motive of the leak¬er and the objective of the crime.
If the State Police solidly get the goods on whoever did the illegal leaking on November 3, their investigation will have been a complete waste of time. The perpetrator will have achieved his real purpose — affecting the outcome of the gubernatorial election — and would probably admit to the misdemeanor once the damage was done. He — he/she if you must — will have gotten away with it. The victims will be the voters of Rhode Island, not just Pagliarini. Pagliarini says he quit the campaign because he didn't want to be a distraction to the campaign and to have Chafee knocked off message in the final weeks of the campaign. That is an understandable and perhaps even noble knee-jerk reaction on the part of a loyal subordinate.
But guess what? This is already a distraction to the Chafee campaign and the resignation perhaps makes it even a bigger distraction.
Chafee at this point should reject Pagliarini's offer to resign, call a press conference and say, "I don't believe J.R. did anything wrong. I think this is an effort to smear me by smearing him and I'm not willing to let whoever is behind this get away with it. He has been loyal to me for a lot of years and now it is my turn to be loyal to him. The State Police are now investigating this and I am confident that we are going to find out exactly what happened. But in the meantime, we have a campaign to run and we are going to keep fighting and..." he can go on dis¬cussing jobs and taxes and that damned train station in Warwick he's always talking about.
Because Pagliarini worked for the Office of Higher Education — in a job he now says was arranged for him by Judge Frank Caprio Sr., the father of Chafee's closest rival in the governor's race, General Treasurer Frank Caprio Jr. — that is where the Department of Labor and Training mailed his unemployment documents.
So it is inevitable that the shadow of suspicion is going to fall on the elder Caprio, who is chairman of the Board of Governors for Higher Education, and who has a powerful motive in helping his son become governor. Who else would have a vested interest in providing information about Chafee's campaign chief?
Here is an interesting question: If the person who obtained Pagliarini's unemployment information thought there was something wrong going on, why didn't he or she contact the authorities? The fact that this person contacted the media rather than the police pretty much demonstrates that he or she wasn't as interested in reporting unemployment payment irregularities as he or she was in publicly embarrassing the Chafee campaign by getting the campaign manager splashed across TV news broadcasts and newspaper front pages.
That is surely a clue in determining where the leak came from.
I'm pretty sure Judge Caprio is smart enough to avoid any personal involvement in this and would have worked through a subordinate or some other third party to get those documents into the hands of the media. It appears there are a lot of people in state government who owe the judge a favor, if not their very jobs; new ones seem to emerge once a week or so — Donna Mesolella, Peter Manfredo, and, if you believe his story, even J.R. Pagliarini himself.
So much for Caprio Campaign Manager Xay Khamsyvoravong's "News flash" that "Frank's family members aren't running for Governor." Frank Sr.'s name might not be on the ballot but, for good or ill, he is now elbow-deep in this campaign.
The purloined letters from DLT that were turned over to reporters are undoubtedly evidence. No reporter worth his or her salt would say where he or she got them. But they are evidence and will surely be confiscated by the State Police. Will the detectives find fingerprints on them? Is there some other way of determining where they came from? That's what the State Police are going to have to investigate.
If they can find the person or per¬sons who leaked those documents, it is going to make the homestretch of this election race very interesting.

With mobile Internet and apps, it becomes easy for someone in a retail store to compare prices on specific items, and make a quick decision to buy or leave, or to instantly purchase on a mobile device elsewhere. The term for this is 'showrooming,' a practice which traditional retailers dread, and which is now surging with the growing use of smartphones and tablets. A survey by the research firm IDC indicates that some 48 million shoppers, or about 20 percent of the US adult population, will 'showroom' during the upcoming holiday shopping season, up 134 percent from a year ago. IDC predicts showrooming will influence up to $1.7 billion in holiday retail purchases. AFP PHOTO /Karen BLEIER (Photo credit should read KAREN BLEIER/AFP/Getty Images)
