Inspired by the 100-Mile Diet series, we asked writers in four Canadian cities to cook dinner for friends using nothing but ingredients produced within 100 miles of their homes. To their cries of 'Can't we do this in summer?' we said, 'Hell, no. That would be too too easy.' Here's what happened.
- - -
- - -
The idea was simple enough, but even though I'd explained it to my guests prior to their arrival, it seemed wise to go over it one more time at the start of our dinner so everyone would understand what was what.
"Everything we're eating tonight was laboriously and very carefully sourced from growers and suppliers located no more than 100 miles from this table," I intoned, lying only a little, as I raised my glass. "Everything. Without exception."
"Vancouver Island's Sooke Harbour House cooks with a 25-mile limit," responded one of the guests, obviously unimpressed.
If that strikes you as rude, it really wasn't, as he's a good friend, and -- far more important -- had also brought an enormous carrying bag from the top of which bristled -- like the plates on the back of a stegosaurus -- necks of bottles bearing labels like Gosset Grand Millesime 1996; Henri Boillot Mersault 1er Cru -- les Charmes 2001; Dom. Laurent Chambertin Clos de Beze Nuits-St-Georges Grand Vin de Bourgogne 1997; Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay-Santenots-du-Milieu 1993; and more besides.
"It's a little warmer there," I pointed out, respectfully.
More to the point, out on Vancouver Island it was already spring, but, hereabouts -- at least, on April 15, the night of this dinner -- the season had arrived in name only, and its wild produce was, as usual, lagging well behind. And, whereas British Columbia is already awash in fiddleheads, asparagus, wild leeks and wild mushrooms such as morels, black trumpets and bluefoot, the only local growth I've spotted in a Toronto shop was a bunch of ramps prematurely plucked whilst still as skinny as Dentotape. Which was a shame.
The more so because this was all so predictable. When I pointed out the flaw in the timing, my editors were adamant: They had poached this 100-mile dinner idea fair and square from some environmental organization in British Columbia, and there was no way they were going to let some other paper steal it before us. So the date stood. There was nothing to be done.
Actually, there was lots. Specifically, there were maps to look at, and the maps proved very discouraging.
"Given urban sprawl, and that you can travel 25 or 30 miles from my downtown front door without spotting a blade of grass, wouldn't it be best to measure my 100-mile perimeter from the city limits rather than my front door?" I asked my editor by e-mail. And -- just possibly because she was going to be a guest here that night -- she readily agreed. So I tried my luck again.
"Since the Dairy Board pools milk supply from Ontario and Quebec before redistributing it for processing, thus making it impossible to procure milk or cream or butter that really is produced within said 100-mile limit, wouldn't it be best if we just excluded that category and let me use, say, beautiful creme fraiche from Normandy instead of some shoddy, third-rate local imitation?"
"Your attempts at cheating are pathetic," she replied.
Oh well, you win some, you lose some. It was time to devise a menu based around some ingredient that was so self-evidently springlike that the unseasonality of the rest of the
produce on the table would draw relatively little attention to itself. Naturally, I thought of lamb.
You see, there was a time when these little beasties were not artificially birthed all-year long, but instead were born naturally, in late January or February, so as to be ready to be scoffed in this season alone. Indeed, a true spring lamb is a beautiful thing. Especially if you can find a proper young one, i.e., what the French call a laiton, or l'agneau blanc -- a category that, technically, refers to an animal slaughtered somewhere between its 70th and 150th day on Earth, and therefore raised almost exclusively on its mother's milk.
And on this front I got lucky -- very lucky. When I dropped by Marlon Pather's lovely butcher shop, The Butchers, he told me he had a line on a supply of organically raised milk-fed lamb from a farm near Guelph, Ont., called Best Bah (really). So, in early April, I picked up a few racks for a test run. They turned out so beautifully that I wanted to move the dinner up a week but, in the end, realized this was not practical. I still needed a first course, vegetables and cheese.
First, I called the brilliant organic farmer David Cohlmeyer, creator of Cookstown Greens, to ask what was sprouting in his greenhouse and lingering in his root cellar. We quickly settled on a large batch of sorrel for a nice, spring-like first course of potage a l'oseille, an old favourite of mine from l'Express in Montreal, as well as some ratte potatoes, variegated Swiss chard, green (baby) garlic, variegated carrots and -- to munch on with the drinks -- a bunch of what he calls "breakfast" radishes, white outside, crimson within.
Lastly, I rang The Cheese Boutique, where the inimitably enthusiastic Afrim Pristine assembled an order of local product that included a nine-year-old raw-milk cheddar, a 10-year-old goats' milk cheddar, a Valencay-inspired goats' milk pyramid and a raw cow's milk blue cheese called Midnight Blue. And then, in a gesture of friendly concern, he slipped in a Selles-sur-Cher so aged and runny that it was bursting at the seams by the time I got it back to the car.
Which brings us to April 15, and a hungry, thirsty crowd who -- charged with supplying the (largely) local wine, turned up with a few bottles of startling quality. Most notable amongst them was undoubtedly the Beamsville Bench Chardonnay Cuvee Temkin-Paskus 1999. Tawse Cabernet Franc 2002 and Chardonnay 2002 impressed, as did Henry of Pelham Special Select Late Harvest Vidal 1999. Henry of Pelham Cabernet-Merlot unfiltered 2002 and a half of Malivoire Chardonnay 2004 did not offend too, too much.
We began with those radishes, which looked lovely, but all things considered seemed a bit meek for drinking with, so were topped up with a jar of foie gras mi-cuit, which, technically speaking, originated in Quebec, but it had been in my fridge for a month, maybe two -- long enough to call my place home. Then we sat down at table for the sorrel soup with creme fraiche that tasted far too good to have been made here, followed by rack of lamb on a bed of creme-fraiche-poached baby garlic, plated with steamed ratte potatoes, variegated chard and steamed yellow carrots, and followed with a cheese plate, where the banned French cheese completely eclipsed all the local offerings.
Everyone thought the meal was terrific.
But don't take their word for it -- take mine. After all, I am a restaurant critic, impartial by nature as well as profession, and I thought it was fantastic, one of the best meals of the year.

Singer/songwriter Katie Herzig sat down with Examiner.com to talk about her new album Walk Through Walls, her performance at the Troubadour, and the future of pop music. Here are some highlights from the interview:
You've performed at the Troubadour before, what does it feel like playing on the same stage as people like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Bob Dylan?
Katie Herzig (KH): I've played here a handful of times; it really has become a great place to come back to for us…I think the first time or two I played it I was thinking a lot about the history of it.
What about releasing your new album, Walk Through Walls, are you most excited about?
KH: People hearing it. I worked so hard on it for so long, and finished it three or four months ago….So, there's been a whole lot of promo about something people can't hear yet.
Have any of the new songs changed at all after playing them live?
KH: They're morphing. We're playing ten new songs in each show. It's a lot of new, so there are certain things that are working really good and other things that we're still… chasing down…how to make work live.
Your songs are so personal, is it nerve-wracking performing some of them live?
KH: It's funny because, especially the new album has a lot of personal stuff on it and…I've always kind of written personal heartfelt stuff, but each time it feels like, 'Am I really insane? Yeah, I'm insane.' (she jokes).
You've been writing a lot with other artists, like Ingrid Michaelson - is that a route you see yourself going down?
KH: It could be, as I do a little more producing of other people. I've always collaborated, especially living in Nashville, with other artists. This last season collaborating with her [Ingrid] has been really awesome…I'd love to do more.
Was it intentional to bring more of an electronic sound to Walk Through Walls?
KH: I think it happens with the music I'm influenced, by and the tools I have around me…I love that stuff, but I also love organic…mixed with that.
Pop music right now is very single based- what are your thoughts on that?
KH: If that's the format right now, I'm not doing it the right way (she laughs)…If you have a great single it changes everything, but, I haven't been able to go into an album chasing singles. I just make music I like, get to the end and be like 'crap, are there any singles in here?'...I still love albums because I love context in like a landscape connecting moods and sounds. But, I'm a sucker for singles too. I'll listen to one song on repeat for days.

BALTIMORE (Ivanhoe Newswire) – They risk their lives for their country, but many military women are not getting the support they need when they return home. The Department of Veterans Affairs reports that female veterans are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. homeless population, and are three times more likely to be homeless than male veterans.
As a captain in the military, Jas Boothe faced many obstacles. However, some of her greatest challenges came when she returned home.
"I didn't have a home [and] I didn't have a job," Boothe told Ivanhoe. "I had nowhere to go."
Her home was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina, and a month later she was diagnosed with cancer. With a son to support she looked for assistance, but found none.
"At that point, there were no existing services for women veterans and their children," Boothe explained.
On any given day about 55,000 female veterans are homeless in the U.S. More than 60 percent of homeless shelters that serve female vets don't accept children.
"Honestly, I think America does not equate the service and sacrifice of women veterans the same as our male counterparts," Boothe said.
So, she started Final Salute, a non-profit that has provided transitional housing or financial assistance for nearly 200 female veterans.
The seven-bedroom home can house up to 10, and the kids are welcome. Annmarie Dixon has been living here for a year and a half. She needed the help when she became pregnant and lost her military health benefits.
"I lived and slept in my car while I was pregnant for about six months," Dixon told Ivanhoe.
She said she works and saves her money.
"I can see the light and I can finally see my goals are coming to fruition," Dixon said.
Boothe was able to bounce back on her own, but said she won't stop fighting for female vets to get the support they need.
"It doesn't take a person who is a millionaire or a billionaire to make a difference," Boothe explained. "It just takes a person who cares."
Final Salute has raised more than $650,000 for homeless female veterans. Boothe allows the women to stay in the houses for up to two years. The organization also works to prevent homelessness by providing interest-free loans or grants to help female veterans pay for rent, deposit, and utilities. MORE.

Since falling is such a serious concern for the elderly, we asked one of our trauma nurses, Rhonda Thompson, EMT, RN, what we can all do to protect our loved ones. Here's what she told us:
Q: Are falls really a big concern?
Falls have become a public health crisis according to the American Trauma Society. They are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults. One out of every three adults age 65 and older falls each year. Of those, two out of three will fall again within six months. Of those reported, 20 to 30 percent will sustain moderate to severe injuries, which will prevent them from returning home or living alone again.
Q: What can happen if a senior or elderly person falls?
As an experienced ER/trauma nurse, I have encountered many traumatic injuries that are direct results of falls. The older adult population surpasses any other age group in this area of injury. Many of these patients end up with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and often do not have good outcomes. This tends to lead to extended hospital stays, longer rehabilitation, permanent disabilities, and death, resulting in extreme health care expenses and strain on medical facilities and families.
Q: How can we prevent falls in the elderly?
Approximately half of the falls occur at home. This is where many older adults spend most of their time. Modification of the living environment can reduce the chances of falling at home. Some of the everyday situations that should be evaluated and possibly modified for fall prevention include:
- Toilets may need raised seats and installed grab bars.
- Clutter: Items such as books, clothes, newspapers, and shoes should be removed from any walk areas.
- Rugs: Remove them or use double-sided tape to secure them to the floor including edges and corners.
- Reachable – Keep frequently-used items at levels that are easily reached.
Tell your doctor if you have fallen in the past, have difficulty walking or getting out of bed or chairs, have difficulty maintaining balance while walking, or have been feeling weak or dizzy. The doctor will most likely want to do a fall risk assessment, which should include having your vision checked and a review of your medications. The doctor will look for causative medical conditions, amongst a few.
An exercise routine that include walking and stretching will maintain strength and balance and is a good way to help prevent falls. In the hotter and colder months, indoor malls make good places to walk early in the morning before it gets too busy. Always check with your health care provider before beginning any exercise programs or altering medications so that they can tailor them to your specific needs.
The Bottom Line
If you have an elderly person in your life, be aware of the ever-present danger of falling and take these simple prevention steps today. Your diligence can keep them safe and healthy.
Rhonda Thompson, a licensed EMT and Registered Nurse, is the Injury Prevention Coordinator, for Botsford Hospital Trauma Services.

Twists. Turns. Suspense. The 125-pound title match at the 2014 NCAAs had it all.
After seven minutes of action-packed wrestling – except for a trio of video reviews -- Jesse Delgado of the University of Illinois managed to hold onto his 125-pound title at the 2014 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City Saturday night.
In a battle of California natives wrestling for schools in the Midwest and upstate New York, the top-seeded Delgado edged No. 2 seed Nahshon Garrett of Cornell University, 3-2, in the 125 finals.
The match was exciting and action-packed, notable for its fierce scrambles, bent-like-a-pretzel contortions, and seemingly frequent video reviews (a total of three in a three-minute period).
Delgado won the title at the 2013 NCAAs by beating Big Ten rival Nico Megaludis of Penn State, 6-4, in the 125 finals, making him the first Fighting Illini NCAA champ since Matt Lackey in 2003.
Originally from Gilroy, Calif., Delgado started his college career at Cal Poly… but transferred to Illinois when associate head coach Mark Perry made the move to the Midwest.
Delgado and Garrett have some on-the-mat history between them, with Delgado beating the Big Red wrestler twice in two meetings.
How Delgado (30-2 season record) got to the finals: Rd. 1: pinned unseeded Jake Rause (Utah Valley), 6:53; Rd. 2: dec. No. 16 Joey Dance (Virginia Tech), 6-1. Qtrfinals: dec. No. 8 Cory Clark (Iowa), 10-5. Semifinals: dec. No. 5 Dylan Peters (Northern Iowa), 9-6.
How Garrett (34-2 season record) got to the finals: Rd. 1: maj. dec. unseeded Jamie Franco (Hofstra), 6-0; Rd. 2: dec. No. 15 Anthony Zanetta (Pitt), 6-0; Qtrfinals: No. 10 David Terao (American), 11-0; Semifinals: dec. No. 3 Nico Megaludis (Penn State), 6-4.
Finals action:
- 1st Period: Garrett started the action with a bang, going for a takedown… however, upon video review, the TD was denied, no score. Garrett attempted another takedown, referee denied it, Cornell protested, and, upon video review, the referee decision was upheld. A third video review in the first three minutes, this time, Illinois coaches protesting the referee nixing a takedown of Delgado. The off-the-mat officials backed the mat official. Despite plenty of action and time outs for reviews, no scoring.
- 2nd Period: Delgado chooses down, scores an escape with 30 seconds left. The champ scores an edge-of-mat takedown in the remaining time to make the score 3-0 Delgado.
- 3rd Period: Wrestlers start in neutral (standing) position. Both receive stall warnings. Delgado gets a follow-up stall notice, giving one point to Garrett. Garrett had also earned one point riding time… but it wasn't enough to erase the deficit, as Delgado wins the match – and his second title – 3-2.
Quotes from the champ:
- On which was more difficult – the first or second title: "They were both hard. I think it's always harder repeating, but they both presented their own changes. He (Garrett) threw me off in that match a little bit. He controlled the match again. (Nico) Megaludis controlled the match last year. But I came out with a win."
- Scrambling: "I think once Mark (Perry) saw I had a feel for it (scrambling), they started working with me. But basic defense is what he wants. I think they're on the edge of their seats sometime when I get twisted like that. I think it makes it a little fun for people to watch, though, if they're not from Penn State or Ohio or Cornell."
- This year's title match: "He was pretty solid the whole match. I really didn't get the angle I wanted. But he messed up one time and I capitalized. He was out of position for a split second, half-a-second, maybe. I saw it, took advantage of it. I knew if I got to his leg, I was going to finish. And that's where I got it, and only had to do it one time."
- On coach Mark Perry: "He's like family. He's changed my life completely. It's more than a coach. It's a mentor. It's a brother. It's a friend. It's someone I'm going to have the rest of my life. It's family."

Health Centers Directors in Kirehe District met on Wednesday 5th, 03, 2014 met in a conference preparing for a weekly program for health of mothers, infants and teenagers in Kirehe Multipurpose hall.
Dr. Ferdinand Hakorimana who is in charge of mothers' health in the Ministry of Health explained the weekly program commenced on Tuesday 11th, 03, 2014.
The main objectives of this program include vaccinating children against Rubella and Measles especially to children who were vaccinated against measles last year 2013.
The female teenagers between 12 and 14 years will be vaccinated against cervical cancer. The pregnant mothers will be de-wormed alongside children aged 1 to 5 years. Nursing mothers who gave birth in about 6 weeks and children with 6 months to 5 years will be given Vitamin A pills.

Follow along as Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo reveals three of his program's top under-the-basket inbounds plays. The plays are designed to give teams many different options in tight situations. They can also be adjusted to go up against both man and zone defenses. Look to add these proven special situation plays to your playbook today!
The Set-up: Get your best shooter to take the ball out under the basket. Get your best screener to start on the ballside low block. Get your next best screener to set up on the opposite lowside block. Meanwhile, the remaining two players are stacked at the free throw line with the point guard in the back. It's a triangle-like look. You can run this effectively against a man or zone defense.
The Action: Look to enter the ball to your big popping out to the side. Next, the first free throw line guy comes down and sets up a double screen with the opposite low block guy. The point guard pops out up top. The big can now pass to the point guard up top. Next, the big now comes down and sets a screen on the low block.
The Finish: The best shooter can now go either way. If the defense goes over the top on the big, he can step through to the ball and look for the ball down low. If the shooter goes around the double screen, the top screener can do the same thing and flash down low. If he goes off the double screen, you can also have the two screeners screen across for the big, who comes across underneath where you can hit him down low for a layup.
This is a terrific play when you want a three-pointer, especially with time winding down at the end of a quarter or half. Everything is basically the same as before except now we put our two bigs on the same side. In other words, put one big as the bottom player in the free throw line stack. This play is also ideal against man and zone defenses.
Next, the (down low) big pops out and gets the ball. Now the big in the stack pops out to the same side wing as the big with the ball. He passes to the point guard up top. Next, the two bigs screen the nearest players on that same side as the inbounder comes around and sets up beyond the three-point arc for a shot on the wing.
The Set-up: Set up two big men facing the sideline inbounder at just about the free throw line. Get another player behind them on the opposite wing. Also, get another player set up on the nearside low block.
The Action: Start by having the low block guy flash and receive the ball. The passer now sprints either over or under (he can go either way) the flasher with the ball. The two big guys at the free throw line make a double screen away for the wing player. Next there's a pass to the wing player who curls around the screens and gets to the top of the key for a quick shot.
Note: You can screen a number of ways for that double screen (staggered, etc.). The first guy can also slip to the basket while the other one spaces out to the wing to give the ball handler two more options. This spacing really gives you some outside and inside options.

In this week's Playbook Series, we highlight three highly-effective defensive drills that will give teams a ton of reps in a short period of time. Covering themes such as help-side defense, charging, and low post defense, these proven drills will pay major dividends for your squad this season.
By Len Garner, North Gwinnett HS, Suwanee, GA
Easy to run and very efficient, the "3 Plus 1 Drill" improves your players' knowledge of team defense and rotations and teaches them how to give and receive defensive help.
Set up three defensive players around the perimeter just inside the three-point arc. Place a fourth defender in the middle of the lane. Also, three offensive players are positioned outside the three-point arc and around the perimeter. These players are looking to move the ball side to side and penetrate with the goal of scoring.
Meanwhile, the defensive players must work on containment, help-side defense, and middle post player rotation. The player in the middle (X4) must communicate with his teammates and alert them of picks, slide-throughs, and more. Run a pre-determined number of offensive possessions or run the drill for a set time limit and then switch up the groups.
By Phil Martelli, St. Joseph's University, Philadelphia, PA
Divide players into four pairs (with four offensive players and four defensive players). Next, a coach will call out a defensive command. The defensive commands are:
Shooter – The offensive player shows the ball as he/she would to shoot. The defender works on close out techniques and sliding to the shooter. The player with ball does not shoot.
Passer – A player must guard the offensive player while he/she waves the ball around looking to make a pass.
Charge – The offensive player dribbles at the defender and the defender takes the charge. To avoid injury, teach proper charge techniques before doing this drill.
Five-Second Count – The offensive player dribbles for a few steps and then picks up the ball. The defender closes hard and swarms him for five seconds, simulating a forced turnover. The defender must guard at game-like intensity and at full speed.
By Jason Graves, Ritenour HS, Saint Louis, MO
Take the same drill set-up as before but now place an offensive player in the low post. Tell your defenders to guard the player with the ball and then drop down and guard against a low post entry pass. Work the defensive technique into whatever your team is specifically working on. The offensive players should look to score.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "35 Dynamic Defensive Drills" produced by Winning Hoops. To check out more DVDs featuring defensive drills and concepts, click here.
By taking advantage of baseline inbound plays and missed free throws, basketball teams at every level can creatively attack the basket and pick up extra points. Follow along as Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo reveals some of his key strategies for free throw situations and under-the-basket inbounds plays, including three different looks using the same play.
Start by getting two offensive players lined up inside their typical lane blocks during a free throw situation. With this strategy, look to get one player cutting in hard to the middle of the paint area, while the opposite player is spinning behind his inside defensive counterpart.
Make sure that the players give a signal about what they plan to do. The key here is to do something aggressive in order to get to the ball. It doesn't matter if both players come to the middle or to the outside, they just can't stand there. The overall goal is to get one basket out of this strategy per game.
Backcourt Players: As for the guys behind the free throw line, align one player to the side wing area just beyond the three-point line. As the shot is taken, there will be a signal by the two inside guys. The backcourt players must recognize this.
If the backcourt player's teammate on the same side is going in hard to the middle, then he/she will cut toward the basket fast on an angle to fill that vacated area. It's key that all five players do something aggressive to get to the rim. Also, don't forget that your players can't move until the ball hits the rim.
Chips: Set 1 – Coach Izzo likes to run this baseline out of bounds play out of different sets.
The Set-up: Start by setting up two big guys on the low blocks and then two smaller players stacked just above the free throw line. Get your best shooter as the first guy in the stacked group. The two block guys start by popping out to their respective corners. Next, the first shooter cuts down and the guard behind him cuts back beyond the top of the key.
Player Movements: Now, let's say the ball is passed to the ballside corner guy. From there, he quickly reverses it to the top of the key guard. When this happens, have the first shooter screen for the inbounder. Next, get the former ballside block player to screen down for the first shooter. This shooter can now pop out to the corner/side for a catch and shot.
Notes: This play involves a bit of inside and outside action. Pay particular attention to the options for the inbounder as he's cutting through the lane. He can go low or high and the point guard up top should be looking for him as he cuts through the lane.
Also, when the pass goes from the point guard down to the corner shooter, the shooter has the option to dump it down to his former screener for a layup chance. It all depends on how the defense plays it. Of course, the shooter can also just rip that jumper if open.
Chips: Line Set
For this set, get in a stacked line on the lane line ballside. Here, the two bigs cut to opposite corners and the point guard pops back — just like before. It's essentially the same play just from a different set. So why is this so effective? It's not as confusing for players and you can get more plays in since the end result is very similar.
Chips: Box Set
This box set is great for those times when teams are overplaying. Once again, everything is the same except for the starting set.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "Tom Izzo: Winning Dead Ball Situations." To check out more videos featuring special situations and inbounds plays, head over to our basketball DVD library.
After picking up dribble penetration tips and techniques in this week's team development feature, look to implement the following offensive sets to tie it all together. Follow along as each play is diagrammed and broken down into segments before being simulated live on the hardwood via five-on-five action.
Submitted by Greg Zeller, Concord High School, Concord, MI
The Set-Up: Start with player 1 on the right side of the floor and with the ball. Player 5 is on ballside low block, 4 is on weakside low block, 2 is on ballside elbow, and 3 is on weakside elbow.
The Action: 1 initiates the play by dribbling to the right. 2 then flashes to the wing and 1 passes to 2. Meanwhile, 4 flashes to the ballside elbow. 5 replaces 4 and 3 breaks out beyond the three-point arc.
The Finish: From here, 2 passes to 4 and then follows the pass and cuts to the opposite block to screen for 5. 3 follows player 2's cut and breaks out to the corner. Player 4's options now are: 5 coming off 2's screen, 3 in the corner, or 1 for the three-point shot.
Notes: This play is ideal versus a man-to-man defense that chases instead of switching. Also, 5 should be open on this often and can receive a low bounce pass from 4 for an effective finish.
Submitted by Rhonda Farney, Georgetown High School, Georgetown, TX
The Set-up: Players 4 and 5 start off on opposite low blocks. Player 1 has the ball on the same side as 4. Meanwhile, player 3 is on the ballside wing and 2 is on the opposite wing/corner area.
The Action: Player 1 has the ball up top. Player 5 cuts up gets a pass from 1. Next, player 3 cuts to the basket along the baseline and winds up in the ballside corner behind the three-point line. 2 pops out towards the top.
The Finish: From here, player 1 cuts to the weakside corner and 4 flashes up hard to set a screen for 5. Player 5 immediately rolls around 4's screen and drives to the basket. Basically, 4 and 5 run pick and roll options in the paint. If the defense collapses, look to throw it to either corner for 1 or 3.
Got any go-to plays that are particularly effective against man-to-man defenses? Share with fellow coaches below or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll look to feature your play in an upcoming issue of BasketballCoach. The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "Over 60 Plays to Attack Man-to-Man Defenses" by Winning Hoops.
By adding these three effective plays to your playbook this season, you'll be equipped with a full arsenal for any type of pressure situation. This week's plays — which derive from high school coaches in Tennessee, New Hampshire, and Arkansas — offer several different options for teams as well.
Submitted by Mike Limbaugh, Clarksburg High School, Clarksburg, TN
The Set-up: This is a great play when you need a three-pointer at the end of the game. 1 starts with the ball up top. 2 begins in the ballside corner, just between the far corner and wing area. Meanwhile, 5 is at the ballside elbow, 4 is on the weakside block, and 3 is opposite of 2 on the weakside wing/corner area.
The Action: 1 dribbles hard at 2 and 2 makes a v-cut. 3, 4, and 5 all set staggered screens toward the ballside. 1 reverses the dribble and now looks to pass to 2, who is coming off the screens by 3, 4, and 5 down low. 2 ends up on the opposite side of the floor for an open look at a three-pointer.
Submitted by Don Maynard, Oyster River High School, Durham, NH
Overview: This triangle set is run from an under-the-basket position against a man-to-man defense and ensures many scoring options at the end of a game.
The Set-up: While 1 has the ball under the basket, 2 starts out at the top of the key. 3 begins just inside the top of the key, 4 is on the ballside laneline between the block and elbow, and 5 is on the opposite side of 4.
The Action: 3 v-cuts and uses a screen set by 5. 3 ends up on the weakside block and is the first option if open. 4 then screens for 5 just above the free throw line. 5 ends up at the ballside block after cutting off the screen. Next, 4 rolls back to the weakside box after screening. The rollback from 4 is open against a team that switches on screens. Player 2 is your safety and clears to the ballside sideline.
Submitted by Becky Brown, Star City Senior High School, Star City, AR
Overview: A key double screen nearly makes this play unstoppable when you need a three-pointer late in the game.
The Set-up: 1 takes the ball out of bounds on the sideline. 4 and 2 are just about stacked together above the three-point line and closer to the sideline than the rimline. Player 2 is close to the free throw line extended and 4 is closer to the inbounder. Player 3 is at the nearside low block while 5 is in the nearside corner to start.
The Action: 3 curls around (the inside) a double screen set by 4 and 2. Set the screen towards the basket, not away. 5 replaces 3 on the ballside block. Player 1 passes to 3 for an open three-pointer. 1 flashes to the low wing as another option for 3 if he/she is covered.

Selena Gomez Stars in Louis Vuitton's Fall 2016 Campaign (Forum Buzz)
It's clear that Nicolas Ghesquière is quite besotted with Selena Gomez, having just recently posed on the cover of Vogue Brazil with the singer, and now she's starring in Louis Vuitton's new advertising campaign for Fall 2016. As reported on our forums back in April, Selena and the rest of the Vuitton gang (including the likes of Rianne van Rompaey, Natalie Westling, Erika Linder and Sora Choi) went to Miami with photographer Bruce Weber and stylist Marie-Amélie Sauvé to shoot the Series 5 campaign. Shot against a clean white backdrop, Ghesquière's loud designs are in full focus.
Yet our forum members simply weren't buying it. "Eww, why?" asked a horrified SpeakThatJDunn, throwing some serious shade at the casting.
"LOL! I can't. I just can't," proclaimed an amused EstefaniaAbaddon. (more…)

sparked by the CCL vs PTL thread...
The likely (my guess) lineups and rotations:
Kane vs Gesell - ISU
Thomas vs Marble - Iowa (experience... I like Thomas in the end)
Hogue vs Uthoff - Iowa (just a gut feeling - I think Uthoff will have a big year)
Ejim vs White - ISU (really, really close. I'm sure Iowa fans will freak seeing this)
Niang vs Woodbury - ISU (sort of an apples/ oranges comparison, but I'll take Niang's "do everything" game to AW's perceived defense).
Starting lineups - slight edge to ISU. Remember the game is early in the year, and a guy like Thomas may still be getting a feel for D1 competition. Marble has good length to guard him with, he can score in a variety of ways - If I'm Iowa I'm going AT Thomas with Marble, and testing his D. Kane should be able to best Gesell.... but thinking as I type, maybe I have Kane guard Marble when Iowa has the possession, and maybe Iowa will opt to keep that matchup on the other end. Uthoff at the SF will make Iowa a really tall team.
Rotation matchups:
Palo/ Morris vs Clemmons - ISU (close)
Bluford/ SDW/ Long vs Oglesby/ Jok - ISU all day long. I like Jok to be able to sink some 3s if he's left open, but until I see him get to the rim, and play defense at D1, I'll pick against him. Oglesby... he does one thing... so don't let him do it.
Edozie/ Gibson vs. Basabe/ Olaseni/ McCabe - Iowa (If Iowa bench bigs are awake, I like them here, agains until I see Gibson do anything besides "go left" and see Edozie at all. If it's a WWE match - I'd take Edozie - he looks huge).
Overall, I think Iowa has a touch more depth, especially if you consider their experience in the starting lineup - especially at the post positions, and ISU post talent drops off quick. If our posts get into foul trouble it will be scary.
the home court advantage goes to the good guys, of course.
ISU by 6.
Ok, tell me I'm nuts...
I agree with most of them, although it's hard to figure this out when we don't even know who will start and how big or small we will play. I like DeAndre Kane to be the x-factor in a lot of games this year. He has a lot of experience, great athletic ability and I believe with Fred an NBA future.
Matt Thomas could cement his hype and become an instant legend if he bury's the Hawks in year one, very similar situation with Royce and what became his "coming out" game against Iowa in 2011. I Expect to see Kane/Hogue on Marble and Thomas guarding Gesell or Uthoff.
I imagine the nonconference will be similar to the past couple of years where the team is getting comfortable with each other and our rotation won't be completely figured out yet. Iowa is going to be tough. If it was at Carver or a neutral site game I would pick Iowa, but since it's in Hilton I think ISU pulls it off in a very close one.
2016 Photoshopper of the Year
I'm not as concerned about Thomas taking a long time to adjust to the D1 level like a lot of people are. It sounds like the kid can flat out shoot which is more than I can say for most of the Hawks. I think that by the time this game rolls around the good guys will be functioning as a very good offensive unit. Hoiberg is great at creating space for his players, and with all of our weapons and shooters I think that we will be able to put up some good numbers in the game. I guess if I was concerned about the newcomers at all, it would be more curiosity as to how their defense will be (since the Cap City League really doesn't tell us much). Can our newcomers gel as a cohesive defensive unit? Either way, I like our chances against the Hawks IN AMES.
Two more things to add to our advantage.
Fred > Fran
Hilton magic
Ill put any dollar that if I get this ball again, Long said, Its going in.
- Naz Long to Markel Brown before hitting the game tying shot.

Haha... Did you forget the fact that Fran does things the right way. He is head and shoulders better than Hoiberg.

Somebody bolt Fran's chair to the floor!
I'm sure Iowa will take full advantage of that Summer European trip they're taking this year to try and mesh all these great players they supposedly have now. They can try and play big but if ISU can get out and run...it may force Iowa to go smaller.
is white really as good as ejim?

In last year's game he was better but in general I would say they are close. Depends on the game.
Originally Posted by dualthreat

Ejim is more versatile on offense but overall maybe equal offense. Ejim is a better rebounder, nothing against White but he's the best rebounder on either of these teams in a long time, maybe since Reggie Evans.

At flopping? Absolutely; White owns Ejim in that department

I'd take Ejim 10 times out of 10 unless my ears need cleaning.
I envision Kane guarding the opponent's best perimeter player. In this case, that's Marble. Also, having been to a couple CCL games, I can't see Hogue checking any guards. He's definitely more forward than guard.

ri is an indispensable tool for the Ruby programmer, however you may have noticed that it's a bit sluggish. If you haven't done it already, do yourself a big favor and install the
FastRi gem. FastRi provides various enhancements and advanced functionalities over the standard ri tool. But even when it's used simply as a replacement for ri locally, it is significantly faster, and in my opinion more practical. Also, if you look for
String#o for example, ri provides you with all the methods of the class String, that contain the letter 'o'. While FastRi outputs only the methods starting with the letter 'o', which is what you actually want in most cases. Install with:
$ sudo gem install fastri and $sudo fastri-server -b . Then use it in this way (
qri is used for stand-alone mode,
fri to connect to a remote server):
$ qri String#scan

It's possible to query fast-ri's documentation from within TextMate.
Get Dr Nic's Rails TextMate bundle here:
edit: ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/Ruby on Rails.tmbundle/Commands/Documentation\ for\ Word.tmCommand
comment out the existing command that queries apidock.com like so:
<!–#!/usr/bin/env ruby
url = "http://apidock.com/rails/search/quick?query=" + ENV['TM_CURRENT_WORD']
puts "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='0;URL=#{url}'>"
and add in it's place:
#!qri ENV['TM_CURRENT_WORD']
then highlight a method you'd like documentation on, and press Control-H.
forgot that you have to reload TextMate's bundles after the edit:
osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to reload bundles'
