The major work on the program violinist Solenn Séguillon prepared for her Old First Concerts recital last night (and the only work following the intermission) was Ludwig van Beethoven's best known violin sonata, Opus 47 ("Kreutzer") in A major. However, the context for Beethoven was decidedly modernist and included a world premiere for unaccompanied violin. Séguillon took an innovative approach in establishing this context, which was well served by her accompanist, pianist Anne Rainwater, who has devoted much of her own repertoire to new music.
Like most of Beethoven's chamber music for violin and piano, Opus 47 is a relatively early work. It was completed in 1803, the same year in which he composed his Opus 55 ("Eroica") symphony in E-flat major (the third). However, just as Opus 55 has come to be known as a "revolutionary" symphony, Opus 47 has its own ways of being iconoclastic, many of which are most evident in the first movement. While Beethoven was known for elevating the piano beyond the role of an accompanying instrument in his duo sonatas, Opus 47 reframes the roles of both instruments in a setting of interruption and interjection, a conversation that always seems to be on the brink of confrontation, so to speak.
Thus, what mattered most about last night's reading by Séguillon and Rainwater was that neither was afraid to approach this music with boldly assertive rhetoric. This created an edge-of-your-seat suspense, even if the listener was already comfortably familiar with the fragmentary approach Beethoven took to unfold his thematic material. The only real challenge was that, when given such acutely dramatic attention, this movement is a tough act to follow.
In this case the second movement (Andante con Variazioni) emerged as a bit of a letdown. This was evident from Rainwater leading with a bit more affettuoso than Beethoven probably wanted. (If he had wanted it, he would have put it in the tempo marking.) More problematic, however, were the pauses between the variations. This may sound like a minor point; but Beethoven's variations compositions are, for the most part, distinguished by a clear sense of overall architecture within which the variations tend to flow one into the next. Neither the score itself nor the thematic relations give any indication that, for this particular set, Beethoven wanted that flow to be disrupted. Nevertheless, last night's approach was a relatively minor shortcoming that passed with the arrival of the concluding Presto, churning away at its energetic pace with only a few minor interruptions to recall the tensions of the opening movement.
The world premiere in the first half of the program was an elegy by Shahab Paranj. Séguillon was familiar with Paranj's work through her performances with the Aleron Trio (with cellist Anne Suda and pianist Sophie Xuefei Zhang), which premiered his first piano trio, "A Bitter Letter." Like the trio this new piece used traditional classical Persian music as a point of departure. However, if tradition provided the structural framework, the rhetoric involved a seamless synthesis of traditional intervallic sonorities with contemporary string technique. (Paranj understands the string family through his own cello studies with Jennifer Culp at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.) The result was a brief but engaging venture into a domain remote in both space and time but viewed under the new "lighting" of contemporary music-making practices.
That last sentence might also be applied to the violin/piano version of Arvo Pärt's "Fratres," which began the concert. Like Paranj's music, Pärt's tends to evoke traditions of the past resonating into the present. "Fratres" is less concerned with thematic content than with the foundation of an underlying chord progression. While that progression was of the composer's own invention, the result is a bit like a latter-day approach to past inventions based on that traditional Spanish chord progression known as the "Folia." Also reflecting the Baroque and pre-Baroque traditions, Pärt conceived a violin part for those inventions that is highly challenging in its virtuosity. Séguillon met those challenges head-on, establishing an intensely stirring rhetoric that foreshadowed the tensions of confrontation that would later emerge in Beethoven's Opus 47.
Pärt and Paranj were separated by an 1830 nocturne in C-sharp minor by Frédéric Chopin, not published until after his death. What may have been a "nineteenth-century intrusion," however, actually had a twentieth-century twist, since Séguillon and Rainwater performed a transcription of this nocturne by Nathan Milstein for violin and piano. While one had no trouble recognizing Chopin's themes, Milstein was particularly inventive in translating Chopin's ornately pianistic gestures into a "parallel language" based on virtuoso violin technique. Milstein was too much of a traditionalist for this to be called a truly "modernist" selection; but his approach to transcription definitely moved beyond the more "salon-based" techniques of the nineteenth century. Séguillon clearly appreciated that this music was "advanced" in its own right; and her performance firmly warranted that point of view.

Seo Ra Beol, a Korean dining establishment in Duluth, splits it's restaurant between a traditional sit down meal, and an exciting Korean BBQ side where you can cook your own meat. The tables are specially equipped with a built in grill. Shortly after being seated, a server will prepare the grill for you, adding ice along the edges to keep the food from cooking further, and hot coals in the center to grill on. Have no fear, you aren't left alone to cook your meal. There are plenty of servers stopping by frequently to assist.
There are a variety of food options to choose from, enough to make everyone happy. That said, Seo Ra Beol is known for its delicious marinated short ribs which is very popular with the regulars. They offer more mainstream staples such as shrimp, bulgogi, and brisket. Traditional side salads, sauces, pickled items and veggies are served alongside each meat dish.
Should you ever get a late night, or early morning, craving for delicious Korean food you'll want to make note that Seo Ra Beol is open 24 hours a day.

It is looking like Marco Rubio V. Charlie Crist in a battle for the direction of the Republican Party.
This race would attract considerable national attention with Crist, representing a new, moderate path for Republicans going against a conservative, ideological foe.
Rubio is a huge underdog, but I wouldn't quite write him off as a dead dog. His fate depends in large part on whether his mentor, Jeb Bush, intervenes in the race on his behalf. That would make this the political story of the year with a former Republican governor turning against a sitting Republican governor. And Bush never has injected himself in Republican primaries.
But it's not impossible. Bush has no love for Crist, and has preached against the evils of Republicans turning to a 'Democrat Lite'' strategy to get elected. Crist is the poster child for Democratic Lite. In fact, I'm hard pressed to find much positive Bush has said about Crist since Crist was elected.
Bush sent a strong message he's back in politics by joining with Mitt Romney and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor earlier this week on a "listening tour'' to rebrand the Republican party. Rubio certainly would fit in with this group. Crist would not.
One might argue that if Bush feels strongly enough about the direction of the party, he should put some skin in the game and publicly back Rubio. That would open a lot of donor doors and redefine Rubio's chances from none to slim. If Rubio showed a spark of life here, it actually could open up a floodgate of disgruntled conservatives, unhappy with Crist's direction.
Crist has to be concerned. We'll be able to tell by how quickly he jumps in the race to lock up donors and nip Rubio in the bud.

Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ali Al-Naimi addressed the 2nd World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) in Islamabad, Pakistan today.
In his remarks during a session on "Managing Energy Demand," Al-Naimi put forward four key points. First, he said that the world should not be intimidated by the prospect of growing energy demand, because rising demand indicates prosperity. Second, he contended that oil, gas and coal are plentiful and sufficient to meet global demands for the foreseeable future.
Third, he noted that there are large quantities of nonconventional hydrocarbon resources of heavy oil that can be tapped to meet demand. Finally, he suggested that technology and price are critical to expanding resources; technological advances to find innovative new ways to develop resources, and prices that provide sufficient returns to encourage investment.
"Meeting the aspirations of the world's people for increased prosperity can only be achieved through the cooperative efforts of both consumers and producers," Al-Naimi said. "The world must find, develop and produce large new quantities of energy on a scale unprecedented in the history of mankind. I believe it can and will be done, but it will not be easy."
Al-Naimi also commented on the Kingdom's oil policies, noting that they focus on a willingness to supply the markets with additional oil as needed to maintain short-term price stability by maintaining spare capacity, at significant cost to the Kingdom.
The World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) is an initiative dedicated to the exchange of ideas, business collaboration and economic cooperation among Muslim nations and between Muslims and non-Muslims.Transcript of Al-Naimi's speech

Maize is known as corn in most English speaking countries. Everywhere else, it's maize. This New World grass was cultivated by Native American cultures for thousands of years, long before Columbus stumbled onto the Americas looking for Asia. Maize is dried and ground into several different products, including grits, polenta, cornmeal, corn flour, corn starch, and a special corn flour called masa harina. which is made from hominy.
Types of maize or corn
First, we can divide corn into five types: dent, flint, sweet, flour, pop, and pod. Since corn can grow in tropical as well temperate regions, and at sea level and high altitudes, these different types are generally adapted to various climate conditions.
· Dent or field corn (Zea mays indenata)—the primary corn grown in the U.S.—is grown in the hot, mid-western climate and ground to make grits. Dent corn is either yellow or white. It is called "dent" because when it dries, the endosperm shrinks and creates a dent, while flint corn does not.
· Flint corn or Indian corn (Zea mays indurata) is grown in temperate areas and ground to make polenta. Flint corn may be yellow, white, red, blue, or purple. Both dent and flint corn are high in starch, and grown primarily as animal feed, with human food as a secondary use.
· Flour corn (Zea mays amylacea) is one of the oldest varieties with almost no hard endosperm and soft kernels that grind easily into flour.
· Popcorn (Zea mays everta) is perhaps the oldest variety of maize, with a very hard endosperm surrounding a small pocket of dense starch. When heated, the starch "explodes". Other types of corn won't pop.
· Sweet corn (Zea saccharata or Zea rugosa) is consumed primarily as a vegetable by humans, enjoyed when the kernels are tender and sweet, before the inherent sugars convert to starch. In recent years, sweet corn has been modified to enhance sweetness.
· Pod corn (Zea tunicata) is more ornamental and not grown commercially. Each kernel is covered with a small husk or glume.
Ground maize and corn products
Maize or corn kernels are prepared and ground into the following products:
· Cornmeal, including grits and polenta, is made by grinding dried corn kernels. The grind may be medium or coarse. The corn may be any variety, including white, yellow, blue, red, or purple. Red, blue, and purple varieties are higher in protein than white and yellow varieties. The corn can be ground with the whole kernel intact, including the nutritious germ. You can make your own cornmeal or corn flour by drying corn and then grinding it in a food processor, blender, coffee grinder, or grain grinder. Grits and polenta substitute adequately for each other. Cornmeal is most often made into cornbread, but may also be cooked as a breakfast cereal like you would oatmeal, or used to coat foods such as chicken or fish before frying.
· Corn flour (not to be confused with corn starch) is very finely milled or ground dried corn kernels. Corn flour can be substituted for one-fourth of the all-purpose flour in recipes for baked goods to lower the gluten content and enhance the flavor of cookies, cakes, and breads. Corn flour is popular in American southern cooking, and can be hard to find outside of that region. Outside of the U.S., corn flour refers to corn starch.
· Corn starch is ground from the endosperm of the kernel only, creating silky flour that is used as a thickener for sauces or to create light and tender baked goods. To use as a thickener, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water before stirring into a hot sauce, and then simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. To use in recipes for cookies and cakes, substitute 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons cornstarch to create a tenderer crumb.
· Hominy is made when whole corn is nixtamalized (neesh-tamal-ized). Nixtamalization is done by soaking corn kernels in an alkalai, such as lime water (calcium hydroxide) to break down the hard kernel, which is then removed. This process improves the nutrition of corn by making the niacin available during digestion. The process was developed in Guatemala. Whole hominy (once called "big hominy") is use for soup or stew or ground coarsely into grits ("little" hominy) or more finely into flour.
· Masa harina ("dough flour") is flour made by finely grinding hominy (nixtamalized corn kernels). Masa is used to make corn tortillas and tamales.

No, it need not exist. If it does exist, it has to equal $\sum_n na_n$, since each term $a_n$ is included $n$ times in the sum. Thus, for example $a_n=1/(n+1)^2$ is summable, but $b_n$ would have to sum to the sum of $n/(n+1)^2$, which doesn't converge.

A layperson or young athlete may think that it explains to be in physical condition for 48 minutes of a competitive game.
It does not.
"Game shape" means not only that the player is in top physical condition to withstand the toll of a competitive game, but he is also in top mental condition--able to withstand the emotional swings of game, understand his assignments and be able to stay observant without mental lapses. Can the player make good decisions, remain composed and still use his physical abilities efficiently to perform? The website sportspsychologyfootball.com, in an article by Delice Coffey entitled, "The Effects of Maintaining Composure on Mental Toughness", successful athletes prepare their mental focus and thoughts to remain steady no matter what the situation and as a result their football confidence grows exponentially. From the Axon Sports potential training website, axonpotential.com, the athlete's brain must be trained to make high-speed decisions, have quick reaction and anticipation, be able to use spatial reasoning and have focused emotional regulation.
For some athletes, they're approach is to be thrust immediately into game situations where the more chances they get, the better off they will become. Other athletes and most of all coaches, believe that this comes from practice--The axiom "You play how you practice." Regardless of the school of thought, an athlete preparing for a game cannot play the next day and even less when he or she isn't prepared for the mental strain their bodies will undergo during a game and/or a full season. A young athlete preparing to take on more responsibilities on their team or an athlete returning from injury must realize this and begin to make other preparations in their physical and mental exercise routines before they let their emotions make a wrong decision.

Where IT Meets Marketing?
By Divya Malik on Nov 18, 2010
Historically, one always thinks of IT and Marketing as two very different departments, with almost no overlap. But, with changes in the business place today, IT departments are being recommended to hire marketers to promote their work across the organization.

Sterling College Theatre Department Presents "Steel Magnolias"
"Steel Magnolias," a well-loved contemporary drama filled with humor and emotion, is being performed by the Sterling College Theatre Department on Friday and Saturday, April 16 and 17, in Culberston Auditorium on the Sterling College campus.
Robert Harling's "Steel Magnolias" looks into the lives of six very different women who find common ground at Truvy's hair salon. These women share their secrets, fears and loves while engaging in hilarious neighborhood gossip. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, beginnings to endings, they share the joys and struggles of their lives with grace, determination, and perfectly styled hair. At the core "Steel Magnolias" is about friendship, trust, and the realities of life.
Senior Sara Kanary will be directing this all-woman cast as a senior project in partial fulfillment of a degree in theatre arts. Kanary is from Pauls Valley, Okla., and has participated in SC theatre since her first year at Sterling.
"Steel Magnolias" runs Friday and Saturday nights, April 16 and 17, at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the door. The box office opens at 7 p.m. and doors open at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices for adults are $5. Tickets for students, children and seniors are $3.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...

Sanofi-Aventis is taking over TargeGen, a developer of small molecule kinase inhibitors. The company separately entered a research agreement with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) focused on type 1 diabetes.
The ultimate purchase price for TargeGen will depend on the achievement of certain milestones with the potential of reaching $560 million. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.
Formed in 2001, TargeGen's most advanced drug candidate, TG101348, completed a Phase I study in October 2009. It is being developed for the treatment of patients with myeloproliferative diseases including primary and secondary myelofibrosis (MF) and polycythemia vera (PV). There are currently no approved drugs for either disease.
The molecule is an oral, potent, and highly selective JAK2 kinase inhibitor, according to TargeGen. Preliminary data from a 59-patient trial involving the treatment of MF patients with TG101348 was presented at the American Society of Hematology Conference in New Orleans in December 2009.
Along with preclinical data, the company says that TG101348 has shown that, in addition to the treatment of certain myeloproliferative disorders, it may also have potential utility in the treatment of certain forms of hematological malignancies like leukemia and lymphoma as weel as other blood disorders.
"Sanofi-aventis brings significant strength and resources to the continued development and potential commercialization of TG101348," says Peter G. Ulrich, president, CEO, and co-founder of TargeGen. "With their global focus on oncology and long-term commitment to this patient population, we are confidant they will maximize the treatment potential of TG101348 across multiple clinical indications."
Additionally, sanofi-aventis' partnership with JDRF gives it options to the intellectual property developed by researchers who receive funding through the program. Both parties will provide financial support to academic investigators and nonprofit medical research organizations to conduct projects in regeneration and immune therapy.

POLICE have seized £20,000 of cannabis from a house in Blackburn on the first day of a month-long drug crackdown.
Around 100 plants were found growing in the terrace house in Infirmary Street yesterday morning after police received a tip-off from neighbours.
Seven officers battered down the back door and found the plants and growing equipment in the kitchen and an upstairs room.
Police were initially made aware of the drugs den after attending another incident in Infirmary Street.
They were told of a "strong smell" of cannabis coming from a house further down the road, opposite The Ivy pub.
Sgt Eric Halford, who attended the raid said: "We had a number of people in the area complain of a strong smell of cannabis.
After further investigations we pin-pointed it to this address.
"We urge people to come forward and tell us if they are aware of anyone cultivating cannabis, community engagement is vital in helping us find these cannabis farms."
The raid comes on the first day of Operation Broadley, a month-long crackdown on cannabis cultivation which has been organised by the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit (Titan) and the six regional police forces — Merseyside, GMP, Cheshire, Lancashire, North Wales and Cumbria.
It comes after figures revealed that more than 5,120 cannabis factories with 345,000 plants worth £140million have been discovered across the North West in the last three years.
Det Supt John Lyons, from Titan, said: "Cannabis is not the harmless drug it is often perceived to be.
"An increasing number of people who grow cannabis are directly funding dangerous, organised criminal gangs, often responsible for gun crime, violence and intimidation across the North West."

Reviews for Cinnamon Raisin Strata
"I really liked this but my kids weren't a fan. I did cut down on the amount of cinnamon. I used Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon bread. It was much puffier than the picture showed. Maybe I did something wrong? Overall, this is a good solid easy recipe for breakfast!"
"I serve this weekly on Friday at the BED & BREAKFAST where I work 36 weeks a year, and everyone ''RAVES'' over it and wants the Recipe Sous Chef Abby Normal"
"I use cinnamon raisin swirl bread cut into cubes (crusts removed). I use half and half instead of milk and pure maple syrup - not the thin, imitation stuff. Delicious!!!!!! Before I retired and we had "pig out days" at work, I was always asked to bring this."
"Very good. But instead of baking it I put it in a skillet and cook it like French toast."
"I have not made this strata but have made several others and found that you need to use either full fat milk or cream for them to turn out right. If you use 2% or skim they are soggy and don't set up right. I like the idea of putting a layer of cream cheese. This is not a breakfast for anyone counting calories for sure."

Check out this pair of competitive basketball drills that will help your team prepare for game-like transition situations. First read through the drill descriptions below and then watch the clips to see how each one should be carried out on the court.
Submitted by Dave Witzig, Normal Community HS, Normal, IL
Overview: This full court drill works on several different skills at the same time and is a terrific drill to do within the first 15 minutes of practice.
Drill Set-up: Divide your squad into two equal teams (let's say Team A and Team B). One team should be positioned on the sideline while the other team should line up down court on the opposite side. Three offensive players from team A will line up at half court with the middle player holding the ball. Meanwhile, two players from team B will line up in the paint area (with one player at the foul line and the second down low) defending that hoop.
How It Works: At the whistle, team A attempts to score on team B in a 3-on-2 attacking situation. Also, a third player from team B stands on the sideline and waits for a coach to call out "Third Player In." At that moment, the third player sprints in to help out and make it a 3-on-3 contest.
If the offense scores, they will get into a full-court press and double everything in the backcourt. Meanwhile, two new defenders from team A set up in the front court and they prepare to defend their basket. Team B now tries to break team A's press. If team A steals the ball, they try to score again on their end. If team B breaks the press, the pressing defenders from team A sprint off the court and go to sideline.
The Finish: After team B breaks the press, they will immediately take the ball down court and attack team A's back two defenders in a 3-on-2 situation. The third team A defender sprints in to provide help on the coach's call. Games are played up to 8 points with the losing team doing sprints or pushups. This is a fast-paced and competitive drill that your players will love.
Submitted by Eric Musselman, Former Head Coach, Golden State Warriors, Oakland, CA
Overview: This is a tried and true drill for improving a player's ability to change direction quickly when in transition during a turnover. It also helps with catching passes on the move and making fast break layups at full speed.
Drill Set-up: Player 2 has the ball under the basket while player 1 stands somewhere else on the floor (let's say on the wing).
How it Works: Player 2 begins by passing to player 1 and then sprinting toward him/her before touching the ball. As soon as Player 2 touches the ball, he/she will turn and sprint back toward the basket.
As Player 2 is sprinting, 1 lobs the ball over 2's head. Player 2 must gain control of the ball and get a layup while running at full speed. While player 2 is making the layup, player 1 runs to another spot on the floor. Player 2 then grabs the rebound, pivots, locates 1, and fires the ball to 1. Player 2 immediately sprints toward him/her and touches the ball.
The Finish: The drill repeats just like before at full speed until player 2 makes five layups in a row.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "25 Aggressive Transition & Conditioning Drills" produced by Winning Hoops. To check out more drills in the Winning Hoops collection, simply visit our basketball library.
In this week's Playbook Series, we break down a pair of effective sideline inbounds plays that provide teams with a variety of options to score the basketball. First follow the breakdown of each play before watching them simulated out on the basketball court. These proven plays will make a great addition to the playbook this season.
The Set-up: Player 3 inbounds the ball on the sideline. Player 4 starts in near corner while 2 is on the near block. Player 1 is on the farside block and player 5 is at the top of the key. This play has two options.
Option 1: Player 4 screens down for 2, who pops out to the baseline corner for a shot. If you need a two-point look, player 4 is also an option.
Option 2: Player 5 screens down for 1. If player 1 can't shoot after getting the ball up top, he/she can pass to player 3, who follows his pass and looks for the spot-up jumper.
Submitted by Tom Moriarty, Oneonta High School, Oneonta, New York
The Set-up: Player 3 takes the ball out of bounds. 5 starts on the near low block, while 4 is at the top of the key aligned with the near lane line. Player 2 is on the farside block and 1 is on the opposite top of key area aligned with the far lane line.
The Action: Player 2 starts by breaking to the near corner off a low screen set by 5. Player 4 starts toward the ball and then loops off a backscreen set by 1. 1 pops out and receives the ball.
Next, player 1 reverses the ball to 4 as 3 makes a low cut from out of bounds and off a backscreen by 5. Player 5 rolls back to the middle of the lane and posts up. 1 screens away for 2, who comes high for a shot or ball reversal. If 2 reverses the ball to 1, 5 makes a back screen for 4, who makes a low post cut.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "Over 50 Sensational Sideline Inbounds Plays" produced by Winning Hoops. To check out more effective team plays in the Winning Hoops collection, head over to our basketball library.
In need of a few proven last-second sets for your playbook this season? Read on to learn about three highly-effective plays used by elite coaches at the high school and college levels.
Submitted by Brad McGhee, Liberty High School, Mountain View, MO
Setup: Players are lined up in a box formation with 4 and 5 at the elbows and 2 and 3 on the low blocks. 1 has the ball at the top.
Action: Player 1 dribbles off a screen set by either 4 or 5. Player 5 then immediately screens down for 2, who comes off the screen and pops to the top. If 2 is open, 1 passes to 2 for an open three-point shot.
Options: If 2 is not open, 1 keeps the ball. After the screen by player 5, player 3 then screens across for 5, who cuts across the baseline/lane and sets up on the ballside block. Player 1 then looks for 5 on a post-up shot. If 5 isn't open on the post-up, 3 comes to the top thanks to a double screen set by 2 and 4 just inside the free throw line area. 1 passes to 3 or looks to get the ball into 5 on the low block.

Setup: This play is run out of the flex set, with 2 and 3 down low on opposite blocks, 4 up high behind the three-point line near the wing, and 5 on the elbow and the same side as 3. 1 has the ball up top.
Action: Player 5 makes a V-cut toward basket and sets an on-ball screen for 1, who dribbles to the right side wing area. Players 5 and 1 run a pick and roll game on the right side, while 2 and 4 set staggered screens for 3 on the ballside low block and the weakside elbow. Player 3 will then cut hard along the baseline and up towards the weakside elbow.
Finish: If no shot is available on the pick and roll between 1 and 5, 1 quickly passes to 3 on weakside elbow for a quick jumper.
Submitted by Gary Barnes, Calhoun HS, Calhoun, GA
Setup: This is a simple set that Coach Barnes has had a ton of success with. Player 1 brings up the ball on the left side of the floor. Player 4 starts in the corner and on the same side as 1. 2 is in the opposite corner. Players 3 and 5 line up in the middle of the court, with 5 at the top of the key, and 3 just inside the three-point line (and both in a stack). Player 3 should be your best shooter.
Action: Player 1 dribbles off a double screen up at the top of the key set by 3 and 5. As 1 comes off the shoulder of player 5, 5 rolls to the hoop on the ball side. As player 5 establishes his position in the post, player 3 then makes an inside pivot and pops to the top of the key. 1 can look to hit player 3 for a three-point shot.
Options: At this point, 1 has four options coming off the ball screen. A) Drive and kick to player 2; B) Drive to basket for a score; C) Play a pick and roll game with player 5; or D) Pass to player 3 for a three-point shot.
Tips: Timing is the key. As 5 rolls, 3 must wait a half second before popping to the top. Most times, 3 will be open for that shot because player 3's defender often gets caught playing help defense on the pick and roll between 1 and 5.

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.
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.

Diora Baird
Miami, Florida
"You would think Owen is more wild and crazy when, in fact, Vince is insane. Every single take is something totally different. He had to do this tango thing with a rose in his mouth and he was taking off his clothes. He's hysterical! -Diora Baird on working with her Wedding Crashers costars
Playboy cover girl Diora Baird caught our attention with her scene-stealing role in Wedding Crashers. Even before making on-screen whoopee with Owen Wilson, the double-D beauty was turning heads in national advertising campaigns. Upon seeing her billboard ad for Guess she remarked, "People are going to get so sick of looking at my boobs." Hey, we never said she was a prophet.
Diora Baird BiographyDiora Baird was born April 6, 1983, in Miami, Florida. The all-American beauty left home at the age of 17 when she decided to try her luck in Los Angeles. Despite her gorgeous appearance and traffic-stopping curves, Diora found stardom to be more elusive than she had first imagined.
While going out on auditions, Diora made ends meet by working a litany of low-paying jobs. "I've done everything from cater, wait tables, pre-school teacher, painting, to being Cinderella, Elmo, a clown, nanny, selling hair..." Diora recalls. "I would do kid's parties and entertain and do magic and paint faces and balloon animals. The highlight of my life."

Fortunately, her hard work soon paid off and Diora began getting a string of high-profile modeling gigs, including a series of ads for Guess. She also enjoyed her first taste of prime-time TV, appearing in a June 2004 episode of The Drew Carey Show. Roles in the low-budget films Brain Blockers (2004) and Deep Down in Florida (2004) soon followed.

Diora's good looks and increased exposure eventually landed her the highly coveted cover of Play..boy in August 2005. "When I did the magazine I really was not anticipating the kind of response that we got," she confides. "It was supposed to be a few pages. I didn't even tell my parents. I didn't tell anybody. And it turned out to be the cover and all the rest happened."
"[Play..boy] basically just got my face out there," she says, "Just like submitting headshots to every producer in town. I think it just gave me more of the stature, more of like a name. The industry's very fickle like that and political and it just gave me more 'star power,' as they call it."

That "star power" continued with the summer release of Wedding Crashers. The movie may have starred Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, but it was Diora's brief bedroom scene that had everyone talking. Ironically, Diora had initally thought the film was too risqu.
"I thought it was too much for America," she says. "I mean, America is so prude. It's just so conservative. And I was just like, I saw it at the screening and I was like, 'Oh my god. We'll be shunned from everywhere. No one's going to want to make a movie with me ever again.' And it f---ing did amazing. It did amazing. And I almost didn't even do it. I almost said no because of the nudity factor. And then I was like, 'Okay. Let's just do it.' And then the rest is history."
Since it's release, the film has made over $209 million domestically and over $73 million overseas. More importantly, it's made Diora even more visible.
After Wedding Crashers, Diora starred in the comedic short, If Love Be Blind (2005) and Hot Tamale (2005), and lined herself up roles in the 2006 films Vegas Baby, Fifty Pills, South of Heaven, Accepted, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.

From her casting call, the prequel to the legendary The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning promised to be one of Diora's meatiest roles yet. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre is just one of those movies that's like a page of history," she says enthusiastically. "You can't really go wrong. It's a prequel. It's not like number three. Which is really cool, to be the before as opposed to the after. That was really appealing... I just thought it'd be a really fun experience."
So, will there be more horror movies in the future? "I can't imagine topping this," Diora confesses. "I can't imagine doing like Little House on the Prairie Gone Wrong or something. I really think this will be it."
Diora Baird will star in Adam Gierasch's remake of the Night of the Demons as Lily Thompson in February 2010, as well as in two upcoming films about porn stars: the aptly named Pornstar and Love Shack.

Suppose $p$, $k$ and $s$ are integers with $s,k \le p$. Consider the following polynomial in $x$ and $y$, $$ \sum_{\ell=0}^k \binom{s}{\ell} \binom{p-s}{k-\ell} x^\ell y^{p-\ell}$$ Does this expression look familiar to anyone? Is there closed form?
Sign up

It is the sum of $pth$ degree homogeneous terms of $y^{p-k}(1 +x)^s(1+y)^{p-s}$
We can transform
$$\sum_{\ell=0}^k \binom{s}{\ell} \binom{p-s}{k-\ell} x^\ell y^{p-\ell}$$
into a hypergeometric form as follows: we factor out $y^p$ like so
$$y^p\sum_{\ell=0}^k \binom{s}{\ell} \binom{p-s}{k-\ell} \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^\ell$$
and then we can easily transform the first binomial coefficient to a Pochhammer symbol:
$$y^p\sum_{\ell=0}^k \frac{(-1)^\ell (-s)_\ell}{\ell!} \binom{p-s}{k-\ell} \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^\ell$$
The second one requires a bit more work; using this identity, we have
$$y^p\binom{p-s}{k}\sum_{\ell=0}^k \frac{(-s)_\ell}{\ell!} (-1)^\ell \frac{(k-\ell+1)_\ell}{(p-s-k+1)_\ell}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^\ell$$
and then use this identity to yield
$$y^p\binom{p-s}{k}\sum_{\ell=0}^k \frac{(-s)_\ell (-k)_\ell}{(p-s-k+1)_\ell} \frac1{\ell!}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^\ell$$
from which we find that we have a finite ${}_2 F_1$ hypergeometric sum; more specifically we have
$$y^p\binom{p-s}{k} {}_2 F_1\left({{-k}\atop{}}{{}\atop{p-k-s+1}}{{-s}\atop{}}\mid \frac{x}{y}\right)$$
With either the hypergeometric expression or the sum before it, we find that the sum has $\min(k,s)$ terms.
From the hypergeometric expression, further transformations might be possible. Alternatively, the expression itself can directly be used for numerical evaluation, since hypergeometric functions satisfy a three-term recurrence; start with the expressions corresponding to $k=0$ and $k=1$ and recurse from there to numerically evaluate the expression for a given $k$.

Montreal Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien knew on Tuesday that backup goaltender Peter Budaj would be starting on Wednesday night when his club hosts the Detroit Red Wings, but what he didn't know was that he wouldn't have much say in the hours leading up to the game.
Or that Budaj may be in for more minutes in the crease than expected.
Carey Price made an early exit from the Canadiens' morning skate on Wednesday morning and did not return. Therrien spoke to reporters following the morning practice to address the situation.
"During the Olympics, Carey aggravated a lower-body injury," the coach earlier today said according to NHL.com " He will not play the next two games and he's day-to-day."
Tonight's game will be the first for Montreal since the NHL's hiatus during the 2014 Sochi Olympics, where Price helped Canada win it's second-straight gold medal on Sunday by defeating the Swedes, 3-0.
Price completed his first Olympic appearance with a perfect 5-0-0 record with a .59 goals-against average, .972 save percentage and two shutouts, earning him the title of top goaltender in the tournament.
In the wake of his injury, the Canadiens have recalled Dustin Tokarski from their AHL affiliate in Hamilton. Tokarski hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2011-2012 while he was a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Canadiens will be without Price tonight, but are expected to get back Alex Galchenyuk who has been out of the lineup since breaking his hand on Jan. 6.
Montreal's injury problems seem insignificant compared to that of their opponent tonight,who will be without Henrik Zetterberg who will undergo back surgery after being injured in Sochi. Stephen Weiss (sports hernia surgery) and Jakub Kindl (MCL) will also not play tonight, according to Ansar Khan.
Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen are questionable.
In their last seven games, the Canadiens are 5-1-1 and have come out of their last three games with a victory.

Redbirds starter Seth Maness (2-0) shutout the Zephyrs on five hits over 6.1 innings before Ben Lasater hit a two-run homer to left. By then, however, Memphis had plated six runs. The Z's trailed 7-3 in the seventh and had the bases loaded with two out against reliever Jorge Randon, but Nick Green flied out to center field. The Redbirds jumped on Zephyrs starter Jacob Turner (0-2) for three runs in the first inning. The uprising came with two outs. Top prospect Oscar Taveras sliced an opposite-field double past third base. Brock Peterson then singled off the glove of Zephyrs shortstop Green. Jamie Romak followed with a three-run homer to left. Redbirds built on the lead in the fourth and fifth. Memphis scored in the fourth when Z's right fielder Bryan Petersen dropped a fly ball that would have been the third out. The error enabled Romak to score from second and push the lead to 4-0. The Redbirds needed no such help in the fifth. Justin Christian led off with a walk, Taveras smashed a one-out, opposite-field homer to left, and it was 6-0. Lasater's homer, his third of the season, came after Petersen beat out an infield single to second. Memphis scored again in the seventh when Greg Garcia's infield hit scored Kolten Wong from third. Wong had led off the inning with a double. New Orleans answered in the inning when Wilson Valdez came home on Koyle Hill's single, but the Z's were unable to get the big inning they needed.

The continuing journal of an Oscar swag suite slut by Patti Pietschmann
The Oscars are over. Ellen DeGeneres did a fabulous job in my opinion, so did LA's local pizza man Edgar Martirosyan who scored a $1,000 tip for delivery his pies to the A-listers at the Dolby Theatre. And big kudos to the very talented Kathy Duliakas of Eligible Magazine who hosted one of the hottest swag bag events at Hollywood's Taglyan Complex along with Maleku Jewelry®, and presented by LA's very own cosmetics guru, ZENSATION®.
This swag slut's canvas bags over flowed with goodies received at gifting rooms all over town. It's taking a while to open all the packages and sample the products. My most recent discovery from all the canvas bags I toted away from Kathy Duliakas event is the iso pink leopoard ceramic styler which is just too cool (or hot) for words. I love it and have already requested a travel size that to take with me on my next trip (a cruise on Silversea's Silver Spirit).
The amazing hair straightening tool costs $320 at http://www.isobeauty.com/products/super-spectrum-pro-limited. The adorable leopard print flat iron ihas 100% ceramic plates that last longer and reduce damage to the hair. You can use it to flatten or make waves. I guarantee you'll love it. I

Villa 1
Bent (18mins)
City 0

- 22 January 2011 19:39
- Posted by Chris Bailey
City's express ride towards the summit of the Premier League came to a juddering halt at Villa Park.
Despite dominating possession and virtually every other statistic the Blues came second in the one that really counts – the goal tally.
It was the fifth defeat this season in the Barclays Premier League and leaves City in third behind Arsenal and you know who.
It could take Roberto Mancini some time to work out just how his side left the Midlands empty handed after they bossed the game for the entire ninety minutes but lacked a cutting edge.
It is not often that a side languishing in the foothills of the Premier League can afford to fork out in excess of £20million for a striker but that is what the Midlands side did earlier in the week in a bid to exit a relegation scrap that drags in more combatants on a weekly basis.
Villa's capture of Darren Bent from Sunderland showed their determination to climb out of hole of their own making after a poor start to the campaign and they received an instant return as he scored the game's only goal.
It was the second time Bent had scored the winner against City this season having potted the penalty that saw the Blues lose 1-0 at Sunderland.
Bent's arrival threw up the intriguing sight of two new boys leading their respective lines and drew inevitable comparisons.
How would Bent, a tried and trusted Premier League regular used to the pace and power of the English League match up to the Blues new boy Edin Dzeko, rusty from a month's inactivity whilst German football slumbered through the winter but hailed as a future world star?
The answer was on this occasion a win for Bent though he saw precious little of the ball other than when he scored.
After a week in which there were publicised exchanges of words between Villa chief Gerard Houllier and both Ian Holloway at Blackpool and Steve Bruce at Sunderland the Frenchman was probably delighted to get into the dugout
He was even happier that his side's leaky defence held firm against a late onslaught.
Carlos Tevez missed the best chance of the opening quarter when Aleks Kolarov's corner went through his legs a yard from goal.
The Blues paid an immediate high price when they sloppily gave the ball away in midfield and then Joe Hart failed to deal with Young's shot before Bent followed up to score on his debut reacting quicker than Kolarov to the keeper's save.
Barry skimmed a coat of paint from the post with a header from Boateng's cross but the response to going behind was tepid in the first instance.
Possession totalling 66% in the opening half led to eight corners but Friedel didn't have to make save. That will have disappointed the manager.
There were subtle changes at the break with Silva attempting to stretch Villa by playing a little wider and Dzeko moved further left but still Friedel was singularly underworked.
That is until just after the hour when he blocked a low fizzer from Boateng. Unlike the home side, City had no one to snaffle up the rebound.
It is six years since City won away from home after being behind at the break and despite almost playing 4-2-4 at one point never looked likely to erase that sad stat from the history books.
A point though always seemed within their grasp but the ball simply would not go in the net. Tevez had a shot blocked by Collins and a beauty from DeJong was deflected onto the post by Clarke's bottom.
It was that kind of evening!
