Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS II Review!
(Also posted in the MCB reviews it section)
Howdy guys, so here's my written review of the Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS USM version 2(wow, that's a mouthful) lens!
So I got this lens about a month ago and I've been shooting it a LOT since it got here. I really wanted to put it through it's paces just as the price is very high on this piece of glass, it costs over a third more than my DSLR body alone. Right off the bat, I really enjoyed the lens and was eager to shoot with it so I have been using it quite a bit for several different styles of photography.
This lens is packaged very well. Traditional White and Red Canon box with a nice "golf bag" looking lens case. In the package came:
Lens Bag
Lens Hood
Tripod Collar
CD's and Users Manual
Initial Impressions:
"Dang! This is a heavy lens!" The lens is very hefty and solid. I got my start with a film via an old SLR with a few old Sigma lenses, so plastic lenses never really felt "right" to me. This is a proper lens with a metal casing. It's a very robust, high quality lens in terms of "in the hands" feeling.
Okay, this lens is heavy and one of the first things I noticed was definitely the weight of this bad boy. Coming in at 3.3 pounds, it's a hefty piece of kit. Although the weight causes some strain after a few hours of carrying it around, it balanced very nicely with my Battery Gripped 7D body.
Zoom Ring
Not really much to say here, zoom is zoom. What I do want to touch on is the zoom ring here. The zoom ring is very smooth and lightweight. I can zoom in or out with one finger effortlessly. It took a while to get used to not having any external moving parts on the lens while moving through the zoom range, but after a while I appreciate this feature very much.
Focus Ring
Super smooth and heavy. Very, very easily to pull focus manually and quickly. The focus ring has been widened since the version 1 of this lens and is very easy to grab on too. However, I have noticed myself bumping this several times, even in AF, and had to refocus. Minor detail I would like to point out.
The switches all around the lens are easily accessible and well made. A complaint that I've heard from the version 1 was that the switches were flimsy feeling, which is definitely not the case here.
Moving on from a more physical standpoint, I will now go into more of my experience with the performance of the lens.
Focus Speed
The ultrasonic motor in this lens is INSANELY fast and quiet. I have no complaints here as it is a superb lens in terms of focusing speed. Despite having to turn a huge amount of glass, the focus is precise and quick even in very poorly lit scenarios.
I took this lens to a football game and focus was not a major issue at all. I was very impressed with how well the lens focused in low light. Even my 50 f1.8 has had issues focusing in that sort of lighting. The large aperture combined with the fast motors attribute to the super quick and snappy focusing of this lens.
This lens is SHARP! I will say right off the bat, hands down, this is one of the most brilliantly sharp telephotos that I have used. Here is a shot demonstrating the detail of this lens.
(f2.8, ISO 400, 1/250. He was actually spinning on the swing when I took this!)
The colors that this lens produced were very good. I have noticed that they are much more exaggerated by white balance settings. For example, the cools are much more cool and the warms are much more warm. Not really sure how to describe it, but it's noticeably good. The colors that I have seen are amazing, even in low light where I am normally reluctant to get into higher ISO range.
Chromatic Abboration
None. Insanely impressed with this aspect of the lens. I have not found any hazing or blue streaks around sharp edges at all so far.
Flare and Ghosting
Again, very minimal. The thing has a whopping 23 lens elements, so that is to be expected. It handles any flare and ghosts very, very well shy of pointing it to the sun. I have had no issues with this area of performance whatsoever.
The only way to describe the Bokeh that this lens can produce is to just say it. Buttery smooth. Creamy at the wide end, and smooth as silk at other. The compression of the 200mm on top of the f2.8 aperture equal an amazing looking background for portraits. I absolutely adore the quality bokeh I have gotten while using this lens.
Some Examples:
Last Notes
Lens Hood
The lens hood is very well made. Super high quality as I would expect. The inside of the hood is lined with a velvety materiel and the plastic is very solid. The hood uses a twist-lock style system instead of the more common thread on style(which is good at a whopping 77mm)
Tripod Collar
I enjoy having this feature available. However, I did not particularly care for the design of it. It works well, and it is very high in quality. However, you must remove the entire lens in order to get the collar off the lens. Minor nitpick though, very well made.
Well, that wraps it up! If you feel that I left anything out or have any questions, post em up!
Use the tripod collar as a handle when shooting in odd position.

Baseball Downs Rider in 11 in Opener, Drops Nightcap
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. - Joey Rocchietti allowed two runs over nine innings and Michael Martin tossed two shutout innings in extras to help the Jaspers defeat Rider 3-2 in 11 innings in Saturday's doubleheader opener. Jason Patnick singled home the go-ahead run in the 11th and Martin worked around a leadoff runner in the bottom of the frame to earn the win.
In the nightcap, Rider blanked Manhattan 7-0 in seven innings. The two teams will play the final game of the series on Sunday at noon.
Game 1 Recap | Box Score
Manhattan freshman Joey Rocchietti was outstanding in the game, going nine strong innings in a game that went 11. Rocchietti allowed two runs on six hits and struck out a career-high seven batters.
Rider only got to Rocchietti in the third. Brian Donnelly and Nick Richter connected on consecutive one-out singles before Rocchietti retired the second batter of the frame. Justin Thomas and Nick Crescenzo followed with two-out RBI singles to plate both runners, giving the Broncs a 2-0 lead after three.
Christian Santisteban led off the Manhattan fourth by clubbing his second home run of the season over the right field fence. The Jaspers tied the game in the sixth when Joe McClennan's two-out double scored Santisteban, who led off with a single.
After Rider's two-run third, Rocchietti did not allow a base hit until Donnelly singled with two outs in the seventh. Rocchietti had to work around a leadoff single in the ninth but got two ground ball outs to send the game into extra innings.
Both teams went quietly in the 10th, setting the stage for the Manhattan 11th. Jose Carrera led off with a bunt single. Santisteban then ripped a double to right center to put runners in scoring position. After Rider issued an intentional walk to pinch-hitter Andrew Gorecki, Jason Patnick stroked a single to right field to plate Carrera with the go-ahead run. Rider reliever John Sharik was able to prevent further damage, but Manhattan still held a 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the inning.
After retiring Rider in order in the 10th, Michael Martin allowed a leadoff single to Thomas, but then set the next three batters down in order, giving the Jaspers the 3-2 win. It was Martin's second victory of the season.
Game 2 Recap | Box Score
As good as Rocchietti was in game one, Rider's Zach Mawson was as good in game two. Mawson allowed just two base hits - both by Chris Kalousdian - in a seven-inning complete game shutout.
Kalousdian singled and Jason Patnick walked with one out in the top of the first inning, but Mawson retired Santisteban on a fly ball and Kalousdian was caught stealing third to end the frame.
Rider cashed in a run in its half of the first on a sacrifice fly by Crescenzo, then got one more in the third against game two starter Joe Jacques. Rider's big inning was the fourth, when the Broncs scored three times to take a 5-0 lead. Two more runs in the fifth made it 7-0 Rider as Mawson was in control at that point.
The two teams will play the rubber game of the series on Sunday, April 27 at noon.
Two weeks ago, Manhattan defeated Monmouth in 11 innings in the opener of that three-game series ... the Jaspers are 2-1 in extra innings this season ... Christian Santisteban went 3-for-5 and scored two runs in game one ... Manhattan walked four times and struck out just once in game two ... Manhattan's pitching staff has allowed just six home runs in 38 games, or one home run every 198 at-bats.

For Mark Philippoussis, what was at the time an important and even symbolic victory in the deciding rubber of the Davis Cup final seems to have become a life-changing experience.
Again at the adidas International, Philippoussis yesterday found himself in a deep hole when facing two break points at 4-4 in the third set of his match against Greg Rusedski. Again, as he had in the opening round against Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo, Philippoussis hauled himself out of trouble.
This time, with a near-capacity centre-court crowd holding its breath, Philippoussis produced a couple of unplayable serves to avert the crises, then smacked three winners from behind the baseline in the final game to clinch a 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 victory that was all the more meritorious for its element of brinkmanship.
While the once-mercurial Philippoussis has always been one of the game's great shotmakers, it seems his famous five-set victory over Juan Carlos Ferrero at the Davis Cup has contributed significantly to his new-found ability to produce those shots when things are not going his way.
"It can make or break you," Philippoussis said of his Davis Cup heroics. "It can get you going on a roll and it can do a lot for you, even after a long break and coming back the next year. So that definitely does have a play in the way you're feeling . . . winning in those conditions does put a lot of self-belief in you, especially in moments like today, in those tight situations."
Although he eventually conquered the tricky wind, some problems with his ball toss and an awkward opponent, Philippoussis can ill-afford to put himself in such vulnerable situations at the Australian Open next week. However, at the end of a high-quality match between two of the game's biggest servers, Rusedski was clearly impressed by the Australian's performance.
"He did it when it counted today," he said. "I didn't feel like I lost the match at all today."
If the Davis Cup victory was a significant event for Philippoussis as an individual, the momentum it created seems to be sweeping through the whole team. Lleyton Hewitt and Todd Reid, a hitting partner during the final, also went through to the quarter-finals yesterday with impressive wins.
"It's awesome, I think," Philippoussis said. "Again it shows everyone is riding that Davis Cup wave. I think also the great thing is the crowd. I mean, the whole crowd are getting into it. That's the whole point of playing on your soil, you want that crowd on your side, you want it feeling like a Davis Cup match. They're starting to understand that and, as I say, they do play a big role in matches."
Philippoussis tonight plays another big server, the French Open finalist Martin Verkerk. The possible prize is a semi-final against Hewitt, who first meets Frenchman Arnaud Clement.
Like Philippoussis, Hewitt had to perform some escapology to reach the quarter-finals. Trailing 0-4 in the first set against Karol Kucera of Slovakia, he won the next nine games to transform a sloppy start into an impressive 6-4, 6-1 victory. Initially, Hewitt said, he had been too aggressive in the difficult windy conditions and had to dig in on the baseline before he could launch his counterattack.
While his precision and the array of shots Hewitt produced to turn the match were impressive, it was the trademark mannerisms that were the best indication he is playing well and enjoying himself too.
When he twirled a perfect lob over Kucera's racquet to level the score at 4-4, Hewitt roared an industrial-strength "C'mon!". When he threaded a passing shot on an acute angle between Kucera and the net late in the match, he performed a triumphant little jig with his finger in the air. "You enjoy when you get out of jail like I did in the first set," he said. "The momentum really swung there."
As he struggled to find his best form in the middle of last year, some experts believed Hewitt had become too defensive and lost his killer instinct. As he found in the early stages yesterday, getting the balance right can still be difficult.
"I feel like I'm playing well," he said. "But you've still got to go out and do the job next week. I don't know if form will play a huge part in next week's tournament. Juan Carlos Ferrero lost first round here and I still think of him as one of the favourites next week."
Centre court, 11am: 1-Justine Henin-Hardenne (Bel) v 7-Chanda Rubin (US); 4-Lindsay Davenport (US) v 6-Elena Dementieva (Rus); 7-Lleyton Hewitt (Aus) v Arnaud Clement (Fra); Todd Reid (Aus) v Chris Guccione (Aus) or Wayne Ferreira (RSA).

|2003P-0574 - Listeria monocytogenes; Petition to Establish a Regulatory Limit

| The petitory will be warmly received by the uruguayan food industry.
It is widely recognized that to eliminate completely L. monocytogenes is a very hard task. However to control L. monocytogenes and to keep it under 100 colonies per gram is much safer. The level of L. monocytogenes in food products (e.g. cold smoked salmon) has been observed (10 cells/gr) to be much lower than the figure propossed (under 100 cells/gr), This is not of clinic significance and would constitute only a presence. The mere presence of the microrganism seems to us not to be enough reason to reject a product but a count of cells a more science based criterion. Hence the higher limit of cells acepted in a given food product is stablished. I believe that the adoption of a limit of 100 cells per gram of product is a useful tool and a step forward to the knowledge of L. monocytogenes to a higher level.

DHARAMSALA, INDIA – Tens of thousands of exiled Tibetans voted Sunday for a new leader tasked with sustaining their struggle for greater autonomy in the Chinese-ruled province as the Dalai Lama retreats from the political frontline.
While Tibetans from across the world were geared up to vote, those in the picturesque Indian hill town of Dharamsala where the Dalai Lama lives started lining up at booths at 9 a.m. to elect the next leader of the government-in-exile.
One by one hundreds, including monks and nuns, scribbled the names of their favorite candidates on pieces of paper and slipped them into green ballot boxes. Polling stations were set to close around 5 p.m.
The post of prime minister-in-exile was a low-profile role before the 80-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader devolved power in an attempt to lessen his own totemic status and foster a democratic setup to keep Tibet's freedom movement alive after his death.
While many felt voting could help their campaign against Chinese rule over their Himalayan homeland, several were skeptical given the government-in-exile's lack of effective power.
"I am not sure whether the democratic system can help in Tibet's freedom struggle," said Rikten, a 28-year-old teacher who gave one name, after voting.
"But its values and rights can definitely … bring more awareness on the Tibetan cause."
The Dalai Lama announced his decision in March 2011, just days before the election of the incumbent prime minister, Lobsang Sangay, who is standing again.
The 48-year-old Harvard-educated former academic is regarded as the front-runner, having already beaten off three of the four other candidates in a first round of voting last October.
Both he and his one remaining opponent, Penpa Tsering, 49, favor the "middle way" approach of the Dalai Lama that advocates seeking greater autonomy for Tibet peacefully.
In all, 88,000 Tibetans in 13 countries from Australia to the United States were registered to cast ballots for a prime minister and the 44-member parliament-in-exile.
Many voters, like Sangay, have lived all their lives in exile and have never visited Tibet.
One of the eliminated candidates, Lukar Jam Atsok, spent time as a political prisoner in China and had threatened to make waves with his more aggressive policy of advocating complete independence.
On policy, there is relatively little to choose between Sangay and his remaining opponent, and opinions on the streets of Dharamsala were mixed in the run-up to Sunday's vote.
Many said they would stick with Sangay. But some who voted for him in 2011 said they had been disappointed by his performance in office.
"I will vote for Penpa Tsering, who has decades of experience serving in the Tibetan government-in-exile and in the Tibetan community. He will have more substance," said Lhadon, a 55-year-old woman who did not give her full name.
Both Sangay and Tsering voted Sunday, while Atsok cast an "empty vote" to express dissatisfaction over the election commission's move to bar his candidacy.
The results from Sunday's voting are expected on April 27.
Tsering was born in India and has served in the Tibetan parliament-in-exile based in Dharamsala for 10 years, where he is currently the speaker.
Whoever prevails can expect to remain in the shadow of the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who remains the most potent rallying point for Tibetans, both in exile and in their homeland.
The Himalayan hill town has been home to him and thousands of Tibetan refugees since he fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.
Despite the Dalai Lama's status, many exiles said it was important to vote.
"The election is really important. It is a basic right of a citizen to vote and we take this opportunity as a blessing," said Sonam, a 22-year-old Tibetan student in Nepal who did not give her full name.
She expressed hope the Nepal government will allow voting to go ahead after authorities confiscated ballot boxes in 2011, apparently under pressure from neighboring China.
China has widely been seen as waiting for the Dalai Lama's death, believing that the movement for Tibetan rights will not survive without its charismatic and world-famous leader.
The globe-trotting Buddhist monk raised concern among his millions of followers last year when he scrapped a tour of the United States for health reasons.
Asked about Sunday's election, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said Beijing has never recognized the government-in-exile and hopes other countries "will not provide any stage for Tibetan separatist activities."

Holt's lover at beach swim diesSuzanne Carbone
Published: November 30 2012 - 3:00AM
VANISHED former prime minister Harold Holt could have been kidnapped by a Chinese submarine that was yellow but one thing we do know is that Marjorie Gillespie, his lover who was with him on a beach near Portsea, has died. Gillespie, 94, passed away in the Sydney suburb of Mosman and Sam Holt, the son of Harold and wife Zara, expressed his sadness at the death. Gillespie was Holt's neighbour in the upmarket seaside playground and was with her paramour on Cheviot Beach, near Portsea, on December 17, 1967, when he went for a swim in rough surf and never returned. Conspiracy theories abounded about the disappearance of the Liberal PM, one of them ''sexual blackmail'' over Gillespie's husband, Wilton Gillespie, supposedly about to name and shame Holt as the co-respondent in divorce proceedings. Even Gillespie didn't escape the theories because during the search for Holt's body, in her traumatised state on the order of authorities she was apparently smuggled away from onlookers and media in the boot of a car used by journalists from The Age. In archival footage that the ABC aired in 2003, Gillespie watched on as her lover struggled in the water, saying: ''He was trying to come back. This was the stage when the water seemed to boil up into colossal waves. Then there was nothing. There was nothing anyone could have done.''Gold for FM record
HANDY trivia for the weekend is Britain's Colin Furze landing in The Guinness Book of Records for creating the fastest mobility scooter that can zoom with a motorcycle engine to the bingo hall at 115km/h. This is fascinating because Gold FM's breakfast hosts, Brigitte Duclos and Lehmo, have assembled the Gold Book of Records with inspirational feats from listeners. Congratulations to Carol Elzink for the ''most times watching The Sound of Music'' (329), George Stavropoulos for having the ''biggest collection of … collections!'' (one is 1 million baseball cards) and the dandy who has the ''biggest collection of cravats'' has to be Matt Preston (400).Flying saucy
BARE chests, shocks in jocks and buttocks number among the drawcards of Bent-Con in Hollywood, a gathering of friendly gays and lesbians who worship comic books, science fiction, fantasy and horror. Someone able to provide a testimonial about the ''X'' rating will be TV writer John Richards, the co-creator of Outland, the ABC comedy about a gay sci-fi fan club. He devised the show with comedian Adam Richard and left Northcote for La-La Land to fly the gay-geek flag when speaking on panels and take in the scenery. Headlined as a special guest whose shoulder appeared in Jimeoin's film The Extra, Richards familiarised himself with the small print in the program. ''They released the rules for people attending in costume, which seems to boil down to 'no nudity before 10pm' or something. There's a surprising number of really slutty video game characters. And that's just the men.''Polo tops summer lovin'
THE ''dahling'' set parks its luxury wheels in Albert Park on Saturday for the Polo in the City, a marquee-hopping exercise in lasting the distance without looking at a horse. It's similar to the spring racing carnival but with casual clothes and shoes that make walking possible. Land Rover ambassador Jennifer Hawkins will swan around the ''rustic clubhouse'' with jet-setting polo player Ruki Baillieu and a quorum of flute-sipping socialites. Naming-rights sponsor Paspaley doesn't have a marquee but an ''installation'' constructed from shipping containers that is styled on the Kimberley in WA, the birthplace of the pearl company. It's where Chris Judd and wife Rebecca will do the chit-chat shuffle with Sharon Van Haandel, Ann Peacock, Graeme Lewsey, Chyka Keebaugh and Cindy Sargon. The arrival of summer heralds the pilgrimage to Mecca - Portsea - for the polo on January 12 and the people-watching sport that involves head-turning in marquees hosted by Jeep, Peroni and Hugo Boss. Sunglasses are compulsory.

Nonito Donaire vs. Jorge Arce Boxing big fight from Miguel Cotto and the epic Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV, we have yet another of boxing elite in action this weekend. On Saturday night 15th December, The Filipino Flash Monito Donaire (30-1'19 KOs) faces Jorfe Arce (60-6-2(1), 46 KOs). Donaire vs. Arce airs live on HBO boxing boxing, Saturday night, 15 December starting 9:30 PM. ET / 6:30 PM. PT, Toyota Center for Donaire's TBRB junior featherweight lineal championship. We will be providing Nonito Donaire vs. Jorge Arce Boxing fight online live results and highlights updates with full details only on here Asportsnews.
In an era when the top boxers in the sport fight now this time just one or two times a year, Nonito Donaire will be making his fourth title defense of 2012. That alone should put him in the mix for the year's top fighter in his career. Of those in front of Donaire on the mythical pound-for-pound ladder, Floyd Mayweather has fought only once, Manny Pacquiao twice, Andre Ward once, and Sergio Martinez twice. "If he beats Arce, he will have successfully defended his title four times," says Donaire's manager, Cameron Dunkin, who has overseen the destinies of more than 20 world champions. "That should mean something."
Nonito Donaire vs Jorge Arce Live Boxing Fight Results and Highlights
Nonito Donaire vs Jorge Arce Boxing Fight
Date: Saturday 15th December 2012
Time: 9:30 PM. ET / 6:30 PM. PT
Venue: Toyota Center for Donaire's TBRB junior featherweight lineal Championship.
Online Live Highlights and result on Asportsnews
Donaire (30-1, 19 KOs) possesses the kind of one-punch knockout power that can make opponents' bodies stop working, as the Filipino demonstrated first against slugger Vic Darchinyan five years ago, and last year against Fernando Montiel. Donaire was a virtual unknown when he stepped into the ring with Darchinyan, who was then 28-0, a world champion, and had knocked out 23 of his last 24 opponents.
A super-aggressive fighter, Darchinyan walked right into a short counter left hook in the fifth round from Donaire and went down like he'd been hit with a sledgehammer. So powerful was that hook, that when Darchinyan got up, he staggered around the ring like a drunkard until the referee stopped the fight. Montiel and Darchinyan both had power and were aggressive until they got hit by Nonito.
The biggest unknown for Arce is a trainer change he made for this fight. After 69 career bouts, Arce decided to work with the great Mexican trainer, Nacho Beristain, who has guided the illustrious career of Juan Manuel Marquez, among many other world champions. "I think that will be a huge advantage for Arce," Dunkin says. "Nacho is a brilliant trainer, and the main thing about him is he is a great strategist. It's not about changing Arce at this late point in his career. It's the game plan Nacho will devise for him. We could be facing the best Arce we have ever seen."

MANLY'S title defence is still alive despite a dodgy calf and thanks to a dodgy call or two. Or at least that is certainly what North Queensland will argue, after the class of centre Jamie Lyon gave the Sea Eagles a win, and a date with Melbourne.
Sea Eagles coach Geoff Toovey has complained long and loud about the quality of the officiating this season, wondering in the process whether it would cost a team a final. He might offer a smirk after his Sea Eagles found themselves in a preliminary final on the back of controversial refereeing. His side were on the wrong end of one poor decision, but by the end of the game it was the Cowboys cursing loudest following two benefit-of-the-doubt decisions by the video officials.
That said, the Sea Eagles deserved the win. They weren't at their best but they were the best side on the night. Lyon had a lot to do with that.
The build-up had focused on the centre, and many Manly fans would have been holding their collective breath that he emerged from the opening half with his calf OK. He got an early test when he stretched his legs in the Sea Eagles' first set.
Lyon not only proved his fitness, but proved how important he is to the Manly side. After only five minutes, he leapt high to bat five-eighth Kieran Foran's bomb back to second-rower Glenn Stewart, who showed soft hands to send the ball to Michael Oldfield. So not only had Lyon made an immediate impact, but the player who replaced Steve Matai scored their first try.
The Sea Eagles had no reason to doubt themselves after such a start, or the man who stood off Lyon's right shoulder (Dean Whare had been shifted to Matai's left centre position). Oldfield does not possess the mongrel of the suspended Kiwi, yet he is probably the quickest player in the club. He found himself in space down the right touchline, and only a slightly errant pass to halfback Daly Cherry-Evans prevented the Sea Eagles from scoring again.
The Sea Eagles' decision to opt for a penalty goal after 18 minutes appeared peculiar but it worked; Lyon kicked the goal, and from the restart winger Jorge Taufua quite literally pulled the ball out of his bottom before sending fullback Brett Stewart over for the try.
The Cowboys weren't in the contest in the first half hour. But little things can lead to significant momentum shifts. There's nothing little about prop James Tamou, but there was certainly little on when he was given the ball 10 metres out from the Manly line. Tamou stepped, stretched and single-handedly dragged the Cowboys back into the contest. Suddenly they had been pumped full of life.
And luck. Just after the half-time break, Cowboys winger Ashley Graham's cheeky hand dislodged the ball from Taufua as he wrestled to play the ball. The officials missed it, and North Queensland five-eighth Johnathan Thurston's cut-out pass hit his winger Antonio Winterstein on the major sponsor and the Cowboys levelled the scores.
Manly's response was almost immediate. The same two players involved in the earlier controversy clashed again; Taufua barged into Graham and was somehow able to reach out and score, even he needed the benefit of some significant doubt. Eleven minutes later, there was even more doubt about Oldfield's second during which Foran was ruled not to have touched the ball after Cherry-Evans's kick was allowed to bounce.
MANLY 22 (M Oldfield 2 B Stewart J Taufua tries J Lyon 3 goals) bt NORTH QUEENSLAND 12 (J Tamou A Winterstein tries J Thurston 2 goals) at Allianz Stadium. Referees: Shayne Hayne, Ben Cummins

2015 Pilot and Research Award RFA
RFA closed
The 2015 Pilot and Research Award RFA FAQ is here.
SFARI mission
The mission of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders by funding innovative research of the highest quality and relevance throughout the world.
To this end, we solicit applications for SFARI Awards from individuals who will conduct bold, imaginative, rigorous and relevant research.
Objective of the SFARI Awards
We seek applications from independent investigators who can devote a substantial portion of time to this effort. While we will not require a minimum Principal Investigator (PI) effort, we expect the PI to commit to a level of effort that reflects a leading role in the project. We encourage applications from researchers who are not currently working on autism, but who have expertise that could be brought to bear on this complex disorder. We will also accept collaborative grants involving multiple investigators.
We strongly advise applicants to familiarize themselves with the work that SFARI currently supports, and to think about how their proposals might complement existing grants. See also the Directors' Column, SFARI's funding priorities for the upcoming year, for an expanded discussion and details about possible targeted RFAs that SFARI may launch in 2014 and 2015 in addition to the annual RFA. If the description of a project suggests to SFARI scientists that it would be more appropriate to evaluate as an application to one of SFARI's targeted RFAs, a SFARI scientist will contact you to discuss this possibility. The same application may not be submitted to more than one RFA.
We expect Simons Investigators to share renewable reagents and data developed using Simons Foundation funds with other qualified investigators. Access to the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC) and the Simons Variation in Individuals Project (Simons VIP), resources of rigorously characterized phenotypic data, genetic data and biomaterials, will be available to all approved scientists through SFARI Base. We encourage applicants to use these resources. Policies regarding acquisition of biospecimens are available online.
In addition to the SFARI Awards described below, the SFARI Explorer Award program accepts applications at any time for rapid review and support through a rolling award program. The SFARI Explorer Award program provides timely resources on a one-time basis, not to exceed $60,000, including indirect costs, to support focused experiments highly relevant to our mission. Further information about this program is available online.
Types of applications
The following applications will be considered:
SFARI Pilot Award
Application type for innovative, high-impact proposals requesting support for small-scale projects or early-stage experiments that will build on preliminary data or a prior track record and lead to competitive applications for funding by SFARI or other organizations. Investigators new to the field of autism are encouraged to apply for Pilot Awards. The maximum budget is $125,000, including indirect costs, per year for up to two (2) years. Please note that SSC biospecimen costs are not included in the maximum budget.
SFARI Research Award
Application type for investigators with demonstrated expertise, for proposals requesting support for compelling, high-impact research on an experimental hypothesis for which, in most cases, preliminary data have already been gathered. The foundation will also consider projects focusing on a central hypothesis where success depends on close collaboration between two or more labs. We expect to fund proposals for a maximum of $250,000, including indirect costs, per year for up to three (3) years, but under exceptional circumstances will consider proposals at higher levels. We realize that clinical studies can be costly and will consider clinical and translational proposals with budgets of up to $350,000 per year if justified in the budget. (This grant mechanism is not intended to support large, randomized clinical trials of medications.) We strongly encourage PIs considering such proposals to discuss their proposal and budget with SFARI science staff before submission (please contact [email protected]). Proposals with unusually high budgets are subject to heightened scrutiny. Please note that SSC biospecimen costs are not included in the maximum budget.
SFARI Financial Policy Summary
There is no salary cap for principle investigators (PIs) or other faculty on a Simons Foundation grant; however, the compensation is prorated according to the individual's percent effort on the grant. There is no minimum percent effort required for PIs or other personnel on any SFARI award type, but it is expected that the PI will commit sufficient effort to this project to provide a leading intellectual and guiding role on the project. Additionally, the PI will be expected to join the collaborative community of SFARI Investigators through participation in conferences, workshops and symposia organized by the foundation. PIs committing less than 15 percent effort to their project should justify their effort level in detail.
SFARI funds may be used only for personnel considered employees of the grantee institution who are eligible for benefits. Funds may not be used for stipend or benefit supplementation unless specifically authorized under the terms of the program from which funds are derived. The Simons Foundation reserves the right to modify budgets when an application has been selected for an award (see SFARI policies).
Indirect costs for all SFARI grant types are limited to 20 percent of the modified total direct costs (see SFARI policies).
Note for investigators applying for renewal of three (3)-year Research Awards
SFARI will prioritize the funding of high-risk and novel experiments, seeking to critically enable studies that have potentially high mission impact. With this in mind, we will prioritize new grant applications and provide only limited funding for renewal of three (3)-year Research Awards. After three (3) years of support, grantees are encouraged to seek continued funding from the NIH and other agencies. SFARI will work with its more senior investigators to identify other funding sources for autism-relevant projects, will continue to welcome their attendance at SFARI-sponsored meetings, workshops and other activities, and will consider limited transitional funding when justified by exceptional progress. SFARI does encourage recipients of SFARI Pilot or Explorer Awards who have achieved success in their initial studies to apply for three (3)-year Research Awards.
All applicants and key collaborators must hold a Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent degree and have a faculty position or the equivalent at a college, university, medical school or other research facility. Applications may be submitted by domestic and foreign nonprofit organizations; public and private institutions, such as colleges, universities, hospitals, laboratories, units of state and local government; and eligible agencies of the federal government. There are no citizenship or country requirements.

The biggest worry for the Bulldogs is not the negative publicity surrounding the botched Andrew Fifita deal, it's the fear that if Fifita successfully launches legal action and then sues, the money he believes they owe him will have to be taken off their salary cap next year.
And that could result in players being shed by the Dogs. That's when pressure would mount on the club and its bosses.
The Bulldogs maintain they have conducted negotiations properly. Fifita and his legal team at Moray & Agnew think otherwise.
Rival clubs are ready to present offers they tabled to try and sign Fifita – to show how much the contract kerfuffle damaged the bottom line of the final contract Fifita signed with the Sharks.
As this column understands – Souths were prepared to pay $675,000 a year to secure Fifita – the money Sam Burgess sacrificed to go and become a rugby star.
The Sharks' original offer was said to be $725,000. Fifita wants his contract matter to be resolved as soon as possible – but what still annoys him is the assertion an interview he gave cost him the deal worth $3.6 million.
He gave an interview where he said he wished he'd gone to rugby or stayed at the Sharks. "I've been made look foolish because of that," Fifita said. "I already knew the deal was on the way out when I had that chat."
And we have seen the letter that was delivered to Fifita and his management on a day when they thought they were going to sign a deal which was going to set him up for life.
It was presented to his agent, Ben Johnston, and accountant Greg Willett on March 31.
The Dogs insist the split was mutual and said Fifita's agent was happy for the media release saying it was a mutual decision to be sent to the world.
The letter the Dogs delivered starts off: "I regret to inform you that the Bulldogs will not be entering into a National Rugby League Contract with you." In other words, it was game over.
"It was communicated on your behalf on 27 March that you would not be signing the contract and that there were matters that still needed to be resolved."
That's what inspired Fifita's outburst. The issue he was cranky about was the difference in the contract he was offered and the one which was presented.
"One of the issues which has been raised [is] an insistence on your behalf the club guarantee payments from third party agreements," Bulldogs chief Raelene Castle wrote.
"The club will not provide any such guarantees. Another unresolved issue is in relation to the total playing fee to be paid for each season." Fifita was blown away by the initial deal.
"It was a life changer," he said. "Of course anyone would have taken it. I signed it, they signed it. Everyone was happy."
But the Dogs were clearly not happy. Castle wrote: "It has also become apparent from your public comments that you regret signing with the Bulldogs and that you wish you chose rugby instead.
"As you would appreciate, such comments have the effect of breaching the trust and confidence that is required between club and a player. This has the tendency to impact on harmony within the club. The club prides itself on a strong, loyal and committed player culture.
"Such comments also have the tendency to damage the relationship with the club's supporters who are its key stakeholders. The club notes that on Friday March 28 [a request] was made for you to clarify and/or withdraw the public statement which you had made concerning your decision to play with the Bulldogs. However no such clarification or withdrawal has been made by you."
And while on Fifita, I spoke to him at lunchtime last Sunday when I interviewed him for a television news story. At that point, he was happy to answer questions about making the Test side. He had been informed he was in the side. Less than five hours later, he was out of team.
The look on Ryan Tandy's face when I first confronted him about his role in the betting scandal at Bulldogs training will stay with me for life. It was a mix between being bewildered and pure fear.
He instantly went into denial mode. I will not pretend I knew Tandy beyond as a bloke that I confronted that day.
He was a tough player, but from what we saw, little more than battering ram – employed to make others look good.
Someone who knew him very well was Hassan Saleh – the former Dragons and Tigers winger who owns a restaurant in Randwick called the Cubbyhouse.
Saleh has been asked by Tandy's mother, Carol, to speak at his funeral on Wednesday.
"My memory of him is that he was an honest bloke," Saleh said. "I've seen what plenty of people have said about him – but to me that's what he was."
Saleh confronted Tandy about his role in the betting scandal.
"I asked him, he said he didn't do it and I believe him. He wasn't a liar. He was a bloke who you knew where you stood. If he liked you. he loved you. If he didn't, you'd know. He was a pleasure to be around."
Saleh is convinced Tandy's death was an accident.
"He was in at our place [the Cubbyhouse] on Thursday night with Josh [Massoud] finishing off his book," he said.
"And he made plans to have dinner here again on Tuesday night with Finchy [Brett Finch]. So I don't think what happened was suicide.
"We've seen mates struggle and he would have been the very last person to take his life. He had been struggling with back pain in a big way from football and he has been taking prescription medicine … it's bad that stuff. I truly think what happened to Ryan was an accident."
Shane Flanagan's proposed work trip to Salford has been delayed time and again as he waits for his British work visa. If it doesn't come through shortly, it won't be worth his while going to Britain.
It appears Sam Burgess is dating again – and he's got a real catch on his hand.
Gorgeous Cleo entertainment reporter Phoebe Hooke has been seeing Burgess on the quiet for some time – and she has been spotted with the Burgess clan.
To Hooke's credit, she has not been doing the red carpet thing and she has kept the relationship off Instagram and other forms of social media.
Burgess plays his best football when he is settled off the field and he appears to be doing that at present.
Benji Marshall is viewed as a $350,000-a-year player by the Sharks – but the Dragons dollars are said to be way more.
It's worth noting Benji could have been on close to $800,000 a year if things had progressed smoothly at the Tigers.
If cash rules over the romance of playing with his fellow "Tiger Sharks", you could understand.
How good is it that the incoming boss of the AFL Gillon McLachlan was prepared to handle questions on all matters AFL, ASADA and anything else on the day he was announced in the role.
Dave Smith is the least accessible and visible boss of the game in the modern era. You may remember that McLachlan was the man that the NRL wanted for the gig before he knocked it back and Smith took the role.
Paul Gallen is one player who has never disrespected a rep jersey – let alone an Australian jumper.
"I have to say that the World Cup tour last year ...well, I don't know if it saved my career, it surely revived in the biggest way," he said. "I had a pretty tense, tough year last season and the Roo tour revitalised me last year.
"I got away from things and loved it. I've got no plans to stop playing the rep stuff – it's part of the reason that I came back early from injury."
After a successful speaking engagement at the Crown Casino it appears Stephen Dank is about to take his show on the road.
Dank has been approached to do a series of lunches with Mark "Jacko" Jackson and former Carlton player Peter Bosustow.
For the record, Dank was a huge Carlton fan growing up and in the NRL he supported the Bunnies. In fact his first gig with a club was with Souths.
The Roosters are on the lookout for the next Sam Burgess – or a cut-price version of him. Their chief scout Peter O'Sullivan is on his way to England to pick up a player or two.

Samsung (SSNLF) is having a big week. The reveals started with a bang on the weekend, with two new smartwatches to replace the Galaxy Gear and continued with today's Galaxy Unpacked event, where the new Galaxy S5 was revealed along with a new Gear Fit wristband.
SSNLF has a lot riding on its Galaxy smartphones. Mobile phone sales make up the majority of the company's profit and its Galaxy S4 flagship was both the top-selling Android smartphone of 2013 and the fastest selling Android smartphone in history. The Galaxy S4 is also the primary competitor to the Apple (AAPL) iPhone 5s — it has been the only device to keep the Apple flagship from completely running away with the popularity crown.
So, when a new Samsung smartphone is announced, the industry and consumers take notice.
There were complaints about the Galaxy S4, primarily its sometimes gimmicky software and the plastic case that comes off as a bit cheap compared to the competition. And speaking of competition, the market is heating up, Apple seems likely to be adopting a bigger display for the iPhone 6 — eliminating a key advantage for the Galaxy S4 — while Lenovo (LNVGY) is intensifying its smartphone efforts with the acquisition of Motorola Mobility from Google (GOOG).
In short, SSNLF has a lot riding on the Galaxy S5. Here's what the company revealed when it announced the highly anticipated new Samsung smartphone along with the surprise fitness monitor at yesterday's Galaxy Unpacked event.

Methylmalonic acid test
Methylmalonic acid is a substance produced when proteins (called amino acids) in the body break down.
A test can be done to measure the amount of methylmalonic acid in your blood.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
Your doctor may order this test if there are signs of certain genetic disorders, such as methylmalonic acidemia. Testing for this disorder is often done as part of a newborn screening exam.
This test may also be done with other tests to check for a vitamin B12 deficiency.
Normal Results
Normal values are 0.08 to 0.56 micromoles per liter.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Greater than normal values may be due to vitamin B12 deficiency or methylmalonic acidemia.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling lightheaded
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

A Bohemian waxwing snacks on berries in a tree south of the Bunnell Building on a November afternoon.
"Bohemian waxwings and humans are two of the few creatures that have a certain enzyme in their livers to metabolize alcohol. Waxwings need it for digesting fermented berries from ornamental trees, a major food source for them in winter." written by Ned Rozell in his article, Should birds stay, or should they go?.

33 Years Ago: Billy Joel Channels the Beatles on 'The Nylon Curtain'
Billy Joel released 'The Nylon Curtain' on Sept. 23, 1982.
Billy Joel released 'The Nylon Curtain' on Sept. 23, 1982.
The Gap's new ad campaign is all about going back to your roots, so it's only fitting that for a pair of new ads, they sent two young musicians back to their own.
To honor the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, Billy Joel participated with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and a group of firefighters in a motorcycle ride in Manhattan. The route they took -- from a firehouse on W. 43rd St. down the West Side Highway to Ground Zero -- followed the path taken by Rescue 1, which lost half of its members, on that day 12 years ago.
Finding a new lover sure can put a spring in your step, huh? Rarely has this phenomenon been more clearly demonstrated in rock history than with Billy Joel's ninth album, 1983's 'An Innocent Man,' which turns 30 years old today.
Billy Joel surprised a New York City high school by singing two songs and fielding some questions from the class. According to the Associated Press, the singer-songwriter made an appearance at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Queens on Thursday (May 30). Singer Tony Bennett, who opened the school a dozen years ago, was also there.
He may or may not be giving up touring, but either way, Billy Joel's Irish fans will get at least one more chance to see him in concert. On November 1, Joel is scheduled to play the O2 Arena in Dublin, an engagement that will see him returning to Ireland for the first time in nearly a decade. Tickets for the show, which comes on the heels of Joel's recent appearances in Australia and New Orleans, are set to go on sale May 30.
Born a few months apart in the New York area, lifelong labelmates and members of the (other) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen have a lot in common. In addition, both are also well-known motorcycle fans, and Joel has built a bike for his old friend.
Although has sworn off the idea of doing another full-scale rock tour, Billy Joel still does his acclaimed 'An Evening of Questions and Answers and a Little Bit of Music' series at colleges. At a recent event, a fan wound up playing one of Joel's signature songs with the legendary musician.
Despite a killer performance at the recent 12-12-12 concert at Madison Square Garden and an upcoming headlining slot at JazzFest, Billy Joel will not be mounting a tour any time soon. In a new interview, he disclosed that recent health issues have stopped him from a return to the stage.
The lineup for the 2013 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival has been announced, and two of the most legendary acts in classic rock are slated to perform this year. Fleetwood Mac and Billy Joel will both appear at JazzFest, which takes place over the course of two weekends, April 26-28 and May 2-5.
It's not even Christmas and we're starting to hear about albums that are coming out in time for Valentine's Day. Today (Dec. 3) comes the news that Billy Joel will release 'She's Got A Way: Love Songs' on Jan. 22, 2013.
The wind and rain that arrived with Hurricane Sandy earlier this week are now nothing more than a memory, but the hard work of rebuilding has just begun -- and an impressive array of rock stars are banding together to help.

Private donations from Indiana University of Pennsylvania supporters not only subsidize new buildings for IUP's campus, but they also provide scholarships and educational opportunities to better a student's experience.
To celebrate these donations, IUP will hold its second annual Philanthropy Day from noon to 2 p.m. Thursday in the Stapleton Library Commons Area where the IUP community is encouraged to thank IUP's 9,818 donors.
A photo booth and free refreshments will be available for everyone attending the Office of Annual Giving's sponsored event.
"Students are asked to write a thank you note to an IUP donor that will be mailed out after the event," said Mary Jo Ludwig, Office of Annual Giving assistant director. "Students will turn in their postcards for a free IUP Philanthropy Day T-shirt."
The Student Philanthropy Council and IUP Student Ambassadors have assisted with some of the programming for this event. Students will have the opportunity to play Twitter Bingo for prizes and to learn more about philanthropy at IUP.
Anyone can join the conversation on Twitter by using #IheartIUP.
Last year, more than $6 million was donated to IUP through private support, Ludwig said, and more than 1,000 scholarships were awarded by IUP as a result of private donations.
"The donors here at IUP support so much more than just scholarships," said Student Philanthropy Council President Ashley M. Hartung (junior, journalism). "While the scholarships are important to the school, so are things like keeping the library up to date as well as keeping the Writing Center and IT Center open and free for students. Donors help support all of this and so much more on campus."
Alumni also support big projects on campus such as the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex, Hartung said.
The donated money goes toward multiple areas such as scholarships, research opportunities, study abroad programs, conferences, technology upgrades, program enhancements and more, according to Ludwig.
"As state funding continues to decline, IUP relies on the support of private donations to bridge that gap," Ludwig said.
IUP has benefited from the Foundation for IUP, an independent, nonprofit corporation organized to promote and support the university's educational purposes.
"The investments made to the Foundation for IUP by our donors help to make our university the outstanding place that it is," said Emily Smeltz, director of Annual Giving. "This campuswide celebration is a great way to raise philanthropy awareness and to kick off our university family, faculty and staff giving drive."

"The danger would be that having committed to innovation as a policy objective and then not delivering on it, it could bring the policy objective into disrepute.
He said Australian governments, business and public service had difficulty thinking strategically because they were trapped in short-term thinking.
Professor Green has served as an adviser to three shadow ministers in the United Kingdom, including the now-Prime Minister Tony Blair ("a vacuum waiting to be filled with political content"). He has also been a political adviser to former Hawke government ministers Ralph Willis and Peter Walsh.
Despite a marked slowdown in the Irish economy after the September 11 attacks, the so-called "Celtic Tiger" is still hailed as the success story of the past decade, with the fastest growth in output and employment of any OECD country.
While the services sector contributed most of this growth, there was also a boom in manufacturing employment, particularly in the information and communications technology industries. Despite its size, Ireland is the world's fifth-largest exporter of computers and the biggest exporter of software products, with 34 per cent of the global market.
Much of the growth has been attributed to improved education and a strategy of building clusters through government bodies, the Industrial Development Agency and Enterprise Ireland.
Ireland's software industry, for example, is concentrated largely in Dublin but smaller regional software clusters like Galway's have attracted such large North American companies as Nortel.
Professor Green said that Ireland's national development plan had allocated $A100 billion over five years for infrastructure in on road, rail and support for research infrastructure, including Ireland's seven universities.
Last week's federal budget had a 5.8 per cent increase in the annual grant to Australia's 38 universities to $4.9 billion.
